Chapter 152 The Sea-Dinging Needle
Everyone turned pale when they heard the sound, not knowing what great changes had taken place in the water. Even the fat man was surprised. He thought that the bronze man on the bottom of the sea came to life to snatch back the "green head" we risked his life to fish, so he hurriedly put his back He tied the bag to his body, picked up the M1 carbine, and stuffed a few grenades into his waist. Uncle Ming became even more panicked when he saw this, and asked in alarm: "Fat boy, what do you want?"
The fat man pulled the gun fiercely: "Whoever dares to touch a little finger of one of my young men, I will knock him back from the Bronze Age to the Stone Age!" As he spoke, the sea water surged, knocking the two men apart. A small boat was lifted out of the patio, and as the water formed a waterfall and fell into the mountain, countless bronze warriors were revealed in the hazy sea air. They formed a dense formation around a huge black tree.
The ring mountain is undulating, surrounding a huge square. Under the turbulence of the sea air, the sea water in Guixu surges, submerging the surrounding stone temple ruins, passing through the caves and gaps in the mountain, and pouring into the mountain like a waterfall. , the small boat we followed was carried up to the patio with the current, and we saw that it was surrounded by waterfall-like water walls, and sea water poured into the depression in the mountain from all directions.
In the chaos of the thundering tide, the two rubber boats turned into fallen leaves blown up by the autumn wind. With the rapids, they rotated and fell into the water surrounded by mountains. We hurriedly rowed the boat to the center of the water to avoid being washed away by the circular waterfall. After overturning the boat, I took the opportunity to look back and forth in the mist.
The terrain here is like an ancient Roman arena. A perfect circular square is naturally formed in the valley. There are more than a dozen vortices at the bottom, which draw seawater into the bottomless abyss below the ancient city. A black tree towers over the sky. A huge tree is inserted diagonally in the middle, about the height of a ten-story building. The tree is so thick that it can accommodate a house. Dozens or hundreds of people may not be able to hug it. It is like a huge black tower reaching the sky, standing diagonally in the center of the circular city ruins.
The wood bark is all in the shape of old scales. They are neither pine nor cypress, nor are they fossils of ordinary ancient trees. They are "shaded" trees formed by the ancient forest that sank under the sea for thousands of years. The lower end is submerged under the water. I don't know how many other trees there are. Deep, the upper end points diagonally towards the sky. The wooden end is surrounded by layers of belemnites that look like clouds and mist, as if the clouds are like an umbrella canopy. There are dark green copper traces of insects and fish embedded on the wooden body. Although we have not formally studied it, There are traces of ancient seal scripts, but I have seen a lot of oracle bone inscriptions on the Dragon Bone Book, and I can more or less recognize several crosses. Most of these traces of insects and fish are hieroglyphs. Shirley Yang had done some homework beforehand, and now she glanced at it. , I found that the two ancient insect and fish seal characters on the giant tree, although they resembled fish bones and insect feet, were not easily identifiable pictographic characters. I only guessed that there was a character "木" in them, but I couldn't guess the second character.
The Huanxing Mountain is like a huge "Guixu" deep well. No matter how much seawater pours in from the surrounding area, it cannot fill it up. There are thousands of bronze figures half-submerged in the water scattered around. They are all much taller than ordinary people, including giant statues. The whole body is made of bronze, with a simple and dignified expression. There is no fish bone crown on the top of the head. They are all like slaves. In the rushing water, every ten bronze slaves form a circle, push the winch in their hands, and countless copper chains are firmly locked on the giant wood. Above, the turbulent current pouring into the abyss rolled up vortices. The rapids drove the copper slaves and copper chains, causing the bronzes to collide and rub against each other. The sound of clanging could be heard endlessly. However, the tall bronze slaves swayed in the water in vain, but Can't turn the winch even an inch.
Everyone worked hard to drive the small boat out of the whirlpool on the water, and used rope locks to tie up the nearby bronze slaves to temporarily stabilize the lifeboat. They were soaked by the splashing water mist, and the terrain surrounded by mountains was not clear. There was no sound, and the thunderous waves could no longer be felt near the giant tree, but the echoes were repeatedly collided by the whale-belly-shaped cave, and I could only feel a faint pain in my ear bones.
Seeing that the sea water all around was like a wall, the water was extremely strong, and our lifeboat could not withstand the strong winds and waves. This situation made people feel the despair of the impending doom. Everyone looked up and looked around, like fish in the deep sea looking up at the blue sky. In addition to thinking like this In addition to Hui Hui's panic, there were waves of confusion and helplessness in his heart. He didn't know where he was. It seemed that the ancient ruins in the ruins were not ancient tombs and ancient cities. In this abyss where dragon fire was collected, everything was incomprehensible. of mysteries.
Seeing that the rubber boat was slightly stable, the fat man stood up and touched the tall black wood in the water with his hand, and said curiously: "Isn't this the sea-fixing needle in the Dragon King's Crystal Palace? I'm afraid we have entered the Dragon Palace this time. Looking at it They are all Qingtou ancestors, but it’s a pity that there are no such big ships to transport them back. Isn’t this fucking purpose to make the fat man anxious?”
I said: "Fat man, you see clearly, the magic needle is made of iron. This ancient wood is neither gold nor iron nor stone, but genuine high-quality wood. However, it can only be found in ancient forests tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years ago. When I was working as an engineer in the Kunlun Mountains digging mountains, I saw the fossils of this huge tree that was 100 meters tall. I heard that the shape of the log could only be preserved in the deep sea with heavy Yin Qi. Look at these bronze slaves trying to turn it. This is also It is definitely not trying to calm the sea, but most likely it is stirring up the sea. Only by stirring up the water can we catch the evil fish that swallows the boat."
Shirley Yang said that the ancients believed that there were three kinds of ancient sacred trees in the world. In addition to the "Kunlun sacred tree" that can continue to grow in an environment without light and influence after being broken, there are also "Fusang" and "Huamu". "Fusang" is a big tree that stays after the sun sets. The Hentian family regards the sun as its enemy, so this ancient tree cannot be "Fusang". It should be the "桔木" that is said to lead from the bottom of the sea to the moon palace.
The boat of Uncle Ming, Guchai and others was parked not far from us. When Shirley Yang said that this was the "barrel tree" in the sea, he hurriedly said: "So many bronze figurine slaves must have been used for burial. Look, This is indeed the mausoleum of the Hentian Clan. The oak tree is an ancient sacred tree, and the thing beneath it must be an ancient zombie. We don’t even have the chance to dive to find a way out this time."
Shirley Yang shook his head and said: "I guessed this was an ancient tomb before, but now it seems that I may be wrong. In the era when dragon fire was used to make the cauldron, living people were still buried, and there was no initiator. Since there are bronze figurines, it is probably not It is an ancient tomb. In addition, there are many arrow stones embedded on the top of the "楗木", and there are thousands of bronze slaves around to push it. This thing may be a totem of a sun-shooting weapon."
I think that although the oak tree is one of the rare undersea sacred trees in the world, trying to shoot through the sun is nothing more than wishful thinking. The bronze figures pulling the hinges are all made of dragon fire and have been submerged under the water for thousands of years. It has not been completely rusted, and the copper is still strong, but I wonder what is the use of casting so many bronze figures? Do we really expect them to come back alive and push the "Zhimu" to shoot the sun? It doesn't seem to have any practical significance. I really can't think of any purpose for this relic.
Shirley Yang said that we cannot measure ancient things with current concepts. In the eyes of today's people, the sun-shooting totem may be worthless. It is a waste that drove those tragic and ant-like slaves in ancient times to work hard and devote all their national power to forge it. But in the eyes of today's people, In ancient times, this was the meaning of people's lives and beliefs, and the sustenance of the spiritual world.
Listening to what she said, I felt something. These "fake empty" things could be nothing or "everything". I was thinking about where to go at this time, and suddenly I felt the ground shaking and the sea water moving at an unprecedented rate. With the violent beating, the soles of the giant bronze statues around the "楗木" seemed to have roots. They were still swaying slightly due to the impulse of the sea water. In my ears, I could only hear the sharp and sharp sounds of the friction and collision of bronze armor, and the air on my head was so intense. It caused the Yin Fire to burn, and an overwhelming rain of fire suddenly fell from the sky.
We hid under the dark "桔木" and the bronze man's body to avoid the clouds of fire that fell into the water. In addition, the sea was surging and the edges of the lifeboat were burned by the fire. Suddenly, the smell hit our nostrils and wisps of white smoke came out. , we have nothing to do, we can only resign ourselves to fate and count every moment we live.
In the cold light of the dark fire, I saw a huge shadow emerging from the sea water. With the turbulent current, it jumped into the water near "Zhimu". Uncle Ming hurriedly shouted to everyone to be careful about the evil fish swallowing the boat. As soon as he finished speaking A thick black hagfish emerged from the water. The several-meter-long jet black eel's body was glowing with a faint blue light. It relied entirely on perception as its eyes on the seabed. At this time, it panicked and didn't choose its path, and bumped into Uncle Ming's head without thinking. The rubber boat he was on suddenly pushed the boat more than ten meters out of the water. Uncle Ming and others almost fell into the water. Gu Gu guessed to hit them with a wooden paddle, but because he lost his center of gravity, he couldn't get up at all.
We all exclaimed in unison. Seeing that the boat was about to hit the bronze statue in the water, I quickly patted the fat man on the shoulder and asked him to shoot to rescue the enemy. When the fat man saw the eel's head emerging from the water, he raised his M1 carbine and fired three rounds in succession. At a close distance, he said that he would never hit the right eye if he hit the left eye. When the gunshot was fired, the blood mist flew with pieces of meat, and eel blood sprayed all over Uncle Ming's head and face. The injured black eel plunged into the nearby underwater whirlpool and lost it. There was only a trace of turbid blood flowing on the water, and the traces were instantly washed away by the surging water.
The lifeboat of Uncle Ming and the others was almost sucked by the whirlpool. He quickly picked up the wooden paddle and paddled the water, approaching us again. At this time, he saw the water rolling again, and there was a huge thing 16 or 17 meters long in the water, with a black head and tail. , a strange fish with a light-emitting device on its head, its body was gray, its eyes were particularly protruding, and its whole body was covered with diamond-shaped scales. It suddenly surfaced from the water, its fins were flaring and its tail was wagging. It was chasing a black eel that escaped from the deep sea, in the turbulent currents. Having lost its prey, it rushed straight to our lifeboat.
Shirley Yang recognized that this was a deep-sea hunting fish called "deep-sea goldeneye snapper". Both it and the giant black eel were forced to the surface by the underwater heat. Since there are few things in the deep sea thousands of meters below, its It is accustomed to eating whatever it sees. Since it cannot survive for long in shallow water after leaving the deep sea, it will also attack all living creatures on the surface of the water without any reason due to physical discomfort. However, at this time, the lifeboat is hiding under the oak tree. The fire rain and sea surge made it impossible to move even half a meter. The fat man was in a blind spot and could not fire in time to defend himself. He had to grab another M1 carbine in the boat and put it on his shoulder, shooting towards the water. A handful of bullets entered the water, causing a violent explosion. A string of water jets shot up, but the 0.3-inch caliber bullets were enough to defend themselves, but they were unable to kill the golden-eyed giant snapper with skin as thick as a rhinoceros.
However, the rain of bullets still had a certain effect. The deep-sea sea bream stirred up a splash of water and swam quickly past the lifeboat we were in. Without looking back, it crashed into the boat where Uncle Ming and Duo Ling were. Uncle Ming With earthy faces, they stayed on the spot and were about to be overturned by the strange sea bream. The boat was dragged into the water. Duoling and Guchai had no choice but to pick up the oars and hit the head of the sea bream with its fangs splayed.
I saw that the situation was not good. As long as the boat capsized, Uncle Ming and the three of them were not enough to fill the gap between the teeth of this sea monster-like evil sea bream. However, our two M1 carbines could not kill the evil fish in the water, so we had to use the same force as before. The way to fry fish in the river is to take out the cluster grenade with Fatty, bite off the fuse ring, and throw it desperately between the goldeneye seabream and the rubber boat.
There was a gap between the release of the grenade and the explosion. It failed to hit the head of the golden-eye snapper, but it still hit the black-green tail. The explosion stirred up a large water column, flipping the golden-eye snapper out of the water and into the air. But the area where the cluster grenade exploded was too close to the lifeboat. The shock wave of the explosion shook the rubber boat at the same time. Both Uncle Ming and Duo Ling were thrown into the water. Gu Gu didn't even think about it. He held a short knife in his mouth and went into the water to save people. Fortunately, these people are all people who make a living by fighting the wind and waves at sea. They did not panic when they fell into the water and swam back quickly.
I saw sharks flashing around, and I couldn't help but sweat for them, and hurriedly moved the boat closer. The boat of Uncle Ming and others was leaking and could not be used, but our lifeboat could not accommodate six people and a large number of people. Equipment, if we let everyone ride in one boat, the scuba and other diving equipment we plan to use when escaping, as well as fresh water and food, which may seem cumbersome, but are actually important materials that maintain the lifeline of the salvage team, must be abandoned.
The situation was so urgent that they had no choice but to look at the immediate situation. The only solution was to risk their lives and dive into the sea to find an exit. So they temporarily let everyone step on the bronze giant statue and climb up to the sacred tree on the seabed to settle down. In addition, the only exit from "Guixu" was diving. Leave the belly of the whale, then find out the direction of the current, and dive back to the trench near the coral forest. Therefore, the diving equipment must not be discarded, so everyone has to carry the scuba gear they need on their backs, and also wear a small amount of diving explosives, guns, I threw away all the grenades, food, and fresh water. Naturally, I couldn't bear to throw the green heads that I had caught back. I kept the "Qin Wang Bone Mirror" tied to my chest in the diving bag wrapped around my body. As long as I could go back alive, this ancient The glasses must be brought back, and the rest of the green head, a daily supply of water, food, and some first-aid medicines are packed into a sealed backpack with lead weights and inflatable bags for easy carrying.
