Part 6 The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 43 Running to the Moon


Uncle Ming gave Fatty and me the two daggers used by the Hentian family to scrape clams and slay dragons.

He said that if he wanted to dive in Guixu to find a way out, he basically had to be mentally prepared to never return.

God knows there are things deep in the water.

What danger is there?

We have the "Water Dividing Sword" of the ancestors of the Dan people to defend ourselves, which is at least more reliable than the diving knife and spear gun.

The fat man and I secretly cursed Uncle Ming for trying to push us out as a shield.

But I couldn't argue with him at this moment, so I took the time to tell everyone that it seemed that a big tide was about to occur on the sea, and Guixu might be filled with seawater at any time.

The only way to stay here and be burned by the dragon fire was to die.

We dive into the water to survive.

We dive into the water to survive.

We only have one chance.

There is no turning back.

If you run out of scuba and still can’t swim out, I don’t need to tell you the outcome.

In short, remember three points.

First, act as a team.

Advance together and retreat together; secondly, don't waste time; thirdly, you must withstand psychological pressure at the last moment, you must be brave, make a desperate move, and never turn back.

At this time, everyone knew that with the scuba oxygen we carried, if we wanted to escape from Guixu without even confirming whether there was an exit, the chance of getting out alive was probably not even one in a thousand.

But if you stay here, you will either be overturned by the waves and the boat will fall into the water to feed the sharks, or you will be burned to death by dragon fire and hot springs.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and there is not even a few minutes left to breathe and think.

If you don't take action, there will be no way to survive.

As Uncle Ming said, "You don't know how good your fortune will be if you don't gamble."

No matter how rare the opportunity is, it is still an opportunity.

Instead of waiting for death, why not take a risk while you have enough energy now?

Even if you have made up your mind.

At this time, the fire rain suddenly stopped falling.

The sharks on the nearby water surface were all snatching the carcasses of the snappers.

The water had risen to the heads of the bronze slaves.

There was a dense mass of bronze human heads on the water surface.

The sound of the surrounding water surging was as if it were under the sea.

Collide When I hit the giant bell, the atmosphere was indescribably depressing.

But I saw that it was the opportunity to enter the water, so I gestured to everyone, put on the frog mirror and put my breathing tube in my mouth, and was about to take the lead and go down to the water along the "桔木".

But Guchai grabbed his arm.

I pushed open the frog mirror and asked: "Why did you shrink from the battle?"

I saw Ryūdo Guchai's face full of surprise and horror.

He said to everyone: "I can't leave.

I saw a white sun."

I heard Guchai say that he saw the white sun.

I didn’t understand what nonsense this kid was talking about.

I thought he was too nervous and frightened.

After all, the strong psychological pressure caused by despair was not something that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy like him could handle. bearable.

Uncle Ming was shocked.

Seeing the bright sun on the sea was not a good sign.

Anyone who knew about walruses and weather conditions knew that "the sun is pale and the sky is stormy", which was a sign of an imminent sea disaster.

He almost collapsed On the ground, luckily he was helped up.

Shiry Yang asked Guchai: "Don't worry, please speak clearly."

Guchai hurriedly pointed to the top of his head: "Look, the sun is white."

No one expected that the sun he mentioned was right above their heads.

How could they see the sun in the sky when it was about to come to Guixu in a landform that resembled the belly of a whale?

All eyes were cast upwards, and unexpectedly there was a white round object hanging above the head, facing the top of the "Jiu wood" inlaid with arrow stones.

Just now, the sea and air were stimulating, the dragon fire in the rock formations splashed, and a fire rain fell.

The mid-air was filled with mist formed by the burning sea, and no one paid attention to the situation above.

I was shocked at first, and I was a little confused, and wondered: "What is that?"

The thing happened suddenly, and I couldn't recover for a while.

I was just confused, but I still knew that the thing was definitely not the sun.

Shiry Yang stared at a black dome in the rock formation that was obviously higher than the surrounding area.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he said happily: It turns out that the white halo of "Ghost Island" is not the sun described by Guchai, but the sea in Guixu.

It is a "sky window" that is covered by the Qi.

There is a heavenly gate above the ground and an undercurrent below, so the vitality has not diminished for thousands of years.

When we first entered the coral spiral, the tide was receding, and a black island was revealed on the sea.

It was a "ghost island" that appeared and disappeared due to the action of the tide.

When the tide rises, the island will be submerged underwater, and when the tide falls, it will reappear on the sea surface.

At first, we mistakenly thought that the ghost island was the back of a giant whale coming out of the water.

We were afraid that it would surge out and capsize the ship.

We used Poseidon cannons to bombard it and confirmed that it was an isolated island on the sea.

The ghost island divides the coral spiral into two areas: east and west.

We were attacked by the "sea snake" and sank into the eye of the sea from the east side.

Unexpectedly, the ancient ruins of the Hentian family in Guixu were built directly under the ghost island.

What's more, he didn't expect that there was a cave like a skylight on the ghost island, which led directly to the sea.

The sky must have become bright, revealing a disc-sized patch of sky, so Gu Chai mistakenly thought he saw the day before the big storm.

It is estimated that this well-like cave was not destroyed by the "sea-shaking cannon" on the Trident.

This sun-shooting artifact, "楗木", is like a big tree, with arrow stones inlaid as an umbrella canopy, and it is ready to shoot out of the sky.

It turns out that the layout of this sun-shooting totem is rigorous and has deep meanings.

Now I feel that the haters have taken great pains to create a mythical scene.

It is not just a simple show, but there seems to be some bigger secret hidden in it.

Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, some people have used the sun, moon, stars, fish, dragons and animals to represent defense.

Judging from the broken copper ornaments on the sacred tree on the seabed, the skylight corresponds to the moon position.

I really can't guess why it is arranged this way.

The fat man asked everyone: "Everyone, I told you not to look around and marvel, haven't you seen the water rising?

Should we climb up along the Dinghai needle, or dive into the water to find another way out?

It's not too late.

Where to go, we must make a decision quickly. ” I saw that the ghost island is the living gate that leads directly to the sea.

I heard loud rumblings all around, which was a signal that the tide was about to rise.

After the tide level increases, this ghost island will also be submerged underwater.

The only way is to seize the opportunity to climb the sacred tree and leave Guixu.

It will not be too late to figure out the rest after returning to the sea.

I thought about this and was about to make a decision when Shiry Yang suddenly stopped me and said: "At first I thought that using barberry wood to make giant arrows was inconsistent with the ancient legends of Chinese civilization.

Although the Hentian clan uses the sun-shooting totem Descendants claim to be themselves, but the oak tree is a sunken tree.

It is said that it is an ancient sacred tree that can grow from the bottom of the sea to the bottom of the sea.

The Moon Palace, with its skylight-like cave located in the moon position, must be a symbol of the bright moon.

There are very few records of the Hentian clan in ancient books, but there is a legend about the Hentian clan flying to the moon after death on a bronze tripod from the time of King Mu of Zhou Dynasty.

I'm afraid this is not a totem that shoots the sun, but a path to the moon.

It is for the souls of the dead.

Is there any danger if we climb up from here?"

Everyone's hearts sank.

It turned out that "楗木" was not a war totem of "shooting the sun", but a symbol of "running to the moon".

In the final analysis, this crater was indeed an "ancient tomb" that existed outside of common sense.

In the coral spiral sea area, due to the condensation of sea air, it is easy to see the stars and moonlight.

The white skylight at the top of the "楗木" is indeed like a full moon.

This undersea sacred tree that sublimates the souls of the dead seems to be only one step away from the bright moon.

As long as you climb to the top of the "楗木" and jump, you can leave this place.

A sea of ​​chaos with no exit.

Uncle Ming saw the chaos of sharks on the surrounding water.

Diving in the sea would inevitably lead to a life-and-death struggle with sharks.

He had been on the sea for many years, so he naturally knew how powerful it was.

The current situation was that he would rather go up than down, so he hurriedly said to everyone: "Miss Yang is right.

Yes, there is an ancient legend about a sacred tree on the sea that flies to the moon to die, but even if it is a sacred tree where the souls of innocent people under the water fly to the moon, it is now Let's risk our lives and fight for the road to the sky."

After saying that, he took the lead in climbing the slope of the ancient wood covered with skin as rough as dragon scales, and slowly climbed to the skylight above step by step, humming the miserable tunes of the Dan people in his mouth.

He emboldened himself and was as tragic as a wolf howling and a ghost crying: "My sea god, save my poor man.

I am not afraid of the deep and bottomless waves.

I am only afraid that I will die and not be able to return home."

I saw that Uncle Ming had climbed onto the sacred tree that seemed to be able to hold up the bright moon.

He was over 60 years old.

He said it without hesitation, but he was also very agile with his hands and feet.

I cursed him in my heart for being a localist who only cares about the individual and ignores the collective. tendentious elements.

But his actions also dispelled our worries.

We were all in one fell swoop.

At this time, the whole team had to climb up to the exit in order to escape.

However, we could not throw away the scuba gear.

We gritted our teeth and carried the weight to climb up, in case we could not get out from above.

If you go, you can still return to the water.

The second person to climb up the "桗木" was the fat man.

He was carrying a scuba tank and a large bag of green heads.

Although the weight was heavy, he could not bear to leave one item behind.

He could still handle the load, but he could climb up the ladder.

Gao's actions have always been his weakness.

When things got pushed to this point, he had no choice but to risk it.

He closed his eyes and climbed several meters from the leaning giant tree in a few steps.

Everyone climbed up the tall "楗木" covered with copper chains in a row.

They didn't know whether this tens of millions of years old wood could still withstand it.

Leaning down and looking down, the sea water was rolling all around.

Countless bronze slaves could be seen in the water under their feet.

There were also many sharks circling and swimming in the water.

Most of the ruins of the entire ring-shaped ancient city had sunk into the water.

I was worried that the fat man would fall because he was too nervous, so I shouted to the fat man lying in front: "Commander Wang, please open your eyes and take a look.

We are about to climb to the moon.

The little widow in the moon palace and her elixir are still there."

I’m waiting for you to receive it.”

The fat man felt that the water was pouring under the giant tree, and the cold wind coming down from the heights was blowing by his ears.

He dared not open his eyes, but he could still control his words and shouted: "Hu Bayi, when did this happen?"

Why are you starting to risk bad water again?

You still don’t know about our company.

Ling has been so elegant in this life.

When he goes to high places, he likes to close his eyes and meditate and play deep things.

We feel like a mirror in our hearts.

When we open our eyes, not only can we not see the little widow, but we will have to fall down to feed the fish.

When the time comes, I have to drag you down with your smoking scumbag.”

Amid the roar of the roaring waves, the six people climbed to the top of the sacred tree on the seabed.

By this time, their backs and backs ached due to the pressure of the heavy objects.

Although their hands and feet were weak, no one dared to let go.

You can feel the sea air blowing on your face, and the white sky is clearly visible.

But from the bottom, "Zhimu" seemed to be very close to the exit, but when I got closer, I realized that there was no way to go out without putting on wings.

Uncle Ming stood up tremblingly at the highest point, stood on tiptoes, and reached out to the edge of the cave without giving up.

However, he was too far away, more than ten meters away.

He suddenly felt discouraged and almost fell over.

The sacred tree was planted into the water.

I secretly cursed that I was careless this time.

I didn't bring any climbing equipment such as a rope hook gun or a flying tiger claw when I went to sea.

Although I was only a few steps short of the height, I felt anxious and could do nothing.

At this time, everyone understood that mortals are not Chang'e who took the elixir and ascended to the light body.

They are all flesh and blood in life, and their quality is heavy and muddy.

Even the most sage and sage Confucius and Mencius, with their talents and knowledge, again Even if you are as brave as the Overlord of Western Chu, who has the magical power to pull nine oxen down from the ground, you are still subject to the gravity of the earth.

You can never take a step off the ground out of thin air.

The situation of "flying to the sky and flying to the moon" only exists in myths and legends. among.

I climbed to the belemnite embedded in the end of the wood.

The belemnite has become fossilized and is still strong and strong after being washed away by sea water for a long time.

I saw the dragon fire in the rock formations making the sea air hazy, and standing in mid-air, it was like clouds growing under my feet.

A few dozen meters below was a turbulent chaotic water, and the water was still gradually increasing.

At this time, everyone's faces were covered with sweat and water vapor.

Seeing that the road to "running to the moon" was a dead end, they were all panting and helpless.

However, Uncle Ming still came up with a whimsical idea.

Maybe when the water rose, he could swim out of the cave entrance with the surge of water.

Guchai and Duoling looked around, but they were at a loss.

I heard the sound of cracking silk in the sky above my head, and howling back and forth.

I thought that the sky outside was just getting bright, and it was the time when the morning tide was born.

I was afraid that the ghost island would be submerged by the rising tide in a few moments, and the seawater would rush through the skylight.

If you pour it in, if you stay here, it will be washed to pieces by the rapids.

It seems that you have to go down the waterway.

When I looked down, I saw countless sharks and vicious fish rolling around in the water.

It was really frightening.

There was no shelter or obstruction to the water.

Let alone trying to dive deep, I was afraid that as soon as I entered the water, I would be swarmed by them.

The shark shared the meal.

At this time, Shiryyang suddenly said "Hey".

The leaning wooden body was covered with many arrow stones several meters in diameter, just like the canopy canopy of an old tree.

The belemnite is the fossil of ancient marine life, and the sunken wood is also an ancient tree that has been deposited on the seabed for thousands of years.

We can no longer tell whether the belemnite embedded in the sunken wood is natural or artificially embedded for decoration.

However, when the belemnite is sparse on the wooden body, There is a copper door.

The texture on the thick copper plate is like scales, which is very close to the black scales on the wooden pole.

If the Shirey Yang hadn't stopped on the slope of the wooden body, it wouldn't have been easy to detect.

None of us expected that there would be such a large copper door on the wooden body near the top of the "楗木".

We wiped off the seaweed and other things on it with our hands.

In the copper pattern, there were clearly vague carvings of the undersea sacred tree connecting the sea water and the bright moon.

Those It can also be seen in the ancient tombs of the Yin and Shang Dynasties in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The totem of the flying death bird further proves that this is the tomb passage of an ancient tomb.

It immediately reminds people that the "楗木" is hollow, and there is a passage hidden inside, a passage that allows the souls of the dead to fly to the moon on the sacred tree.

Under that passage It must be the ancient tomb of the "Hatetian Clan".

This is similar to the ancient Chinese tomb customs of leaving a "Heavenly Gate" at the entrance of the underground palace for the tomb owner to ascend to immortality.

However, the "Heavenly Gate" where the souls of the dead run to the moon in search of the elixir is opened at the entrance of the underground palace.

Above the sacred tree of the Moon Palace At this time, the big tide from the coral spiral sea covered the sky, and the misty sky suddenly dimmed.

Everyone knows that as soon as the tide passes the Ghost Island, it will pour down immediately, and the water under the "Jiu Mu" will also rise with it.

The sharks had already eaten up the "deep-sea goldeneye snapper" that was killed by a cluster grenade.

Going into the water now was tantamount to courting death.

In front of the fangs of the sea, in a desperate situation, no one can be a hero.

They are all ashen-faced, clinging tightly to the arrow stone at the top of the sacred tree on the seabed, and they are panic-stricken.

I saw that the bronze door was slightly sunken into the wood and was sealed very tightly.

I didn’t know if the ancient tomb had been filled with seawater long ago, but I had no choice but to slide into the ancient tomb through the tomb passage to avoid the rapids above. , there is a dangerous situation of sharks below.

I pointed to the bronze door to Shiry Yang and said, "Since we can't go up to Guanghan Palace, we can only go down to the cemetery."

Shiry Yang nodded and used the diving knife to pry the closed copper door.

I pulled out the "Ancient Water Dividing Sword" that the Hentian clan used to take Long Jaw with my backhand.

At this time, I didn't care how precious the copper sword was.

I could only treat it as a The crowbar came, but the blade was sharp and tough, and after being strangled several times, the chain tied to the copper door was cut.

At this time, the sea water above the head has been pouring down in waves.

The tide has not yet submerged the ghost island, but under the surging tide, the tide has already reached the top.

Time was getting tighter and tighter.

Uncle Ming, Guchai and the others were so anxious that they all crowded over to help, working together to pry open the pot door from the dripping old tree.

The thick copper door had not been opened for thousands of years.

When it was opened now, there was no gloomy atmosphere.

It was just smelly and disgusting, revealing a dark and wide passage, extremely wide and deep, bottomless, as if it led directly to the underworld. deep.

Shiry Yang took a stick of "inch phosphorus" and threw it down.

After measuring the air circulation, it was harmless to people.

He immediately said to everyone: "There is no sea water in it, and the air is safe.

You can go down."

As I spoke, the tide reached my head, and I couldn't think about it anymore.

I pushed the people around me into the passage in the "楠木" one by one, followed them and got in, and quickly closed the copper door again.

In the darkness, I felt a thunder-like sound throughout the space.

The torrent of sea water hit the sacred tree on the sea floor with a roar.

The sound inside the big wood was even more deafening.

The muscles and bones in the whole body seemed to be shattered.

The bronze door was shattered by us.

Water was seeping down from the damaged area.

I opened my mouth wide and dared not close it to prevent damage to my eardrums.

Someone had already turned on a diving flashlight in the dark wooden passage.

This kind of lighting tool is not effective in an environment without water.

But you can hang it on your body and free your hands to do other things.

I also turned on the diving flashlight on my chest and saw that in this indescribably large wooden tomb passage, the surrounding wood was extremely dense and the inner wall was rough.

Although there was a lot of moisture, it did not feel slippery.

Everyone was carrying extremely heavy loads, and it was sometimes easy to get up and sometimes difficult to get down in the sloping tomb passage.

They had to use diving knives to pierce the wooden wall, grit their teeth, and slowly move downward inch by inch.

I don’t know how long I have been climbing down, but the sound of the sea tide hitting the sacred tree has become quieter.

I don’t know if the water in Guixu is full or the tide has receded, but I can’t see the end of the tomb passage.

The moisture became more and more pungent, and finally I heard the sound of running water, and the giant tree reached the bottom.

Shiry Yang freed up a hand and threw a phosphorescent bomb down.

The light reflected the water.

It was no more than ten meters away from the water.

Below it was a pool of quiet water, with no trace of it far or near.

I asked everyone to pull apart the inflatable rings of the two inflatable backpacks and throw them on the water.

Then they fell into the water one by one.

They all struggled to swim to the air bags to rest.

Thinking back to the critical situation just now, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.

I looked up and looked around in the bright phosphorescence.

The bottom of the huge black tower-like tree fell into a cave formed by the remains of an ancient coral reef.

The bottom was filled with water of unknown depth.

The copper door led to the water surface in the cave, and there were piles of piles in the cave.

It is covered with tortoise shells and keels as big as millstones.

The bones are densely covered with ancient symbols and marks for divination.

However, they have been soaked in sea water for too many years, and most of them are blurred and difficult to distinguish.

On the reef not far away, there is a skull of an ancient creature that looks like a giant whale.

There are dozens of raised human figures in the skull.

It may be the place where the corpse was parked in the ancient tomb.

It seems that it contains "Zhuyan Beads" in its mouth.

An ancient corpse that has not changed for thousands of years at the bottom of the sea.

I subconsciously touched my diving bag, and then I remembered that I didn’t have the “black donkey’s hooves” with me, but I did have a cold and hard “Qin Wang bone mirror”, and I suddenly felt at ease.

I wanted to check the water depth, but found that the index on the dial had reached the end.

I don’t know if it was broken, or the water in the coral cave was simply unfathomable.

When the fat man came down just now, he was so scared that his calves were cramped, but when he saw that there were dead people in this strange ancient tomb, he suddenly became emotional again and dragged everyone to go to the water to see what happened.

I saw that the pile of whale bone fossils was just right for everyone to take a break, so I waved to them and asked them to swim over and take off their equipment to take a breather.

Everyone climbed up the rock exhausted and saw a fish paste lamp made from the mummy of a shark and poured oil into it.

The shark's ointment lasts forever and has a very low ignition point.

It can burn as long as there is a little air, so it can be used as a replacement for a flashlight.

Uncle Ming immediately lifted up the "fish candle" and lit it.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

He illuminated several corpses in the whale bones and murmured to himself: "Ignore your old mother, there really is an ancient tomb of the Hentian family in the South China Sea.

These genuine underwater zombies are worth a lot."

It’s a big price” We were under the fish candle, but before we could see the vague ancient corpse clearly, we first discovered that on the tortoise shell in front of the whale bones, there was a mark of "shock up, shock down".

Since we had seen it two or three times at sea, even Uncle Ming and Fatty Na has already recognized that this is a hexagram that "shocks Baili".

What is the profound meaning of this ancient hexagram that appears repeatedly in Guixu:
