Seeing his expression, Tie Chuanjia walked over and asked, "Second Master, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Xunhuan frowned, and the doubts between his eyebrows couldn't be concealed, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "This scar is a little weird. ”

Tie Chuanjia felt strange, so he asked, "Oh, what is weird? This giant fish has been fighting and killing other creatures in the sea for many years, and it is inevitable that there are some scars on its body, which does not seem to be strange. ”

Li Xunhuan shook his head and said, "This is not a scar from fighting other creatures, it is more like a whip mark. ”

"Whip marks?" Tie Chuanjia was surprised, if it was a whip wound, it was caused by man. Thinking of this, he quickly squatted down and checked with Li Xunhuan. I saw that there were very rough marks on the old scars that were four feet wide and a few feet long. In the depths of the wound, there is a faint color of gold and iron. If it is a wound caused by a soft whip, how thick is the whip? I am afraid that it is as thick as a snake.

Tie Chuanjia's face also began to become solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Sure enough, it's a whip mark, but what kind of person can use such a thick whip? ”

Li Xunhuan shook his head, he also felt very confused about these questions about Tie Chuanjia, could it be that there are really giants in this world? Thinking of this, Li Xunhuan stood up and began to look at the giant whale again. Then he found that the whip marks were visible on the whale's back.

At this time, Li Xunhuan spoke: "Let's think that this whip mark was left by a giant, then there is a question, under what circumstances did he leave these scars on the back of this giant fish?"

Tie Chuanjia thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, it was left behind during the fight with this giant fish?"

Li Xunhuan shook his head and said, "But I feel that this seems to be training clothes." ”

Tie Chuanjia asked in surprise: "Training uniform, training a giant fish the size of a mountain?"

Li Xunnan nodded and said, "Look at these whip wounds on this giant fish, they are very evenly divided and very careful. If it had been left during a fight with a giant fish, the wound would have been very messy, and it would not have been so meticulous. Therefore, it can be deduced that this scar was definitely not left in the context of a fight. Moreover, the man with the whip seemed to be deliberately looking for the most painful part of the fish when he whipped it. ”

Tie Chuanjia nodded and said: "That's right, those public servants in the yamen of the capital who are used to patrolling and torture will find the most painful places on people's bodies to torture." Often those ruthless tough guys on the rivers and lakes will become very well-behaved after being tortured by these public men. ”

Li Xunhuan snorted and said, "That's the truth, if you want to subdue a beast, the best way is to beat and torture it until it obediently." ”

Speaking of which, Li Xunhuan began to search on the back of the giant whale again.

Tie Chuanjia said: "But what is the purpose of these people to subdue this giant fish?"

Li Xunhuan frowned and shook his head, not answering his question. When he walked to the left pectoral fin of the giant fish, Li Xun suddenly stopped, moved his gaze to the water, and looked fixedly. After a while, Li Xunhuan suddenly made a move, and a real force was thrown into the water, and then he made a back-to-back action.

I saw the water surface rise, the giant fish was originally soaked in the water, and the hidden left pectoral fin suddenly rose up. And on the fin, a huge black iron ring was nailed. The iron ring is the thickness of a beam and a pillar, and it is encircled into the fins of the fish, and it is encircled into the flesh. Whirringly, under the urging of Li Xunhuan's real force, it gradually came.

When the iron ring approached, Li Xunhuan stretched out his hand to support it. Look at this iron ring again, the diameter alone is more than a zhang long. One hand dragged the iron ring, and the other hand carefully rubbed the surface of the black iron ring, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "It's fine iron." ”

Then, with a flick of his hand, the fins sank into the water again with the iron ring.

Then, Li Xunhuan walked to the position of the right pectoral fin of the giant whale, and used the same technique to fish out another identical black iron ring from the water. Then he nodded, and threw the ring into the water again. Then he walked to the pelvic fin of the giant whale, and so, two more times, scooped up the two large iron rings at the pelvic fin of the giant whale.

Observing that now, Li Xunhuan was basically sure of his conjecture, and then he walked to the center of the whale's back to make the final confirmation of his conjecture. Then it was discovered that in the center of the whale, there were eight cylindrical holes that were thicker than his arms. Reaching out, the round hole couldn't be reached.

Li Xunhuan stood up, with some certainty in his expression. walked up to Tie Chuanjia and said, "It's basically certain that this giant fish is a ride." ”

Tie Chuanjia said incredulously: "How can you see that this giant fish is a car?"

Li Xunhuan said: "The iron ring on the four fins is irregular, there are some grooves formed by long-term pulling, it is conceivable that a very thick iron chain should be connected to the groove, which is for ease of control. The holes in the middle of the back of the giant fish are places to lean on, so that people can sit on them. The giant was just a servant like a 'groom', and the upright master sat on the back frame. ”

When Li Xunhuan said this, Tie Chuanjia's face was full of shock. Because at this moment, he could already imagine a rough mine giant who was too tall, pulling an iron chain in one hand and a giant whip in the other. Stand on the back of a giant fish and drive it to the sea.

And in the chauffeur behind him, there may also be a noble figure who is graceful and luxurious, I don't know whether it is a man or a woman, drinking and having fun. There may also be beautiful fairy-like women around, cheering him on and singing.

The noble man drank happily and swam happily, and perhaps he would give a poem? Dance a sword? Those who watched him write poems and dance swords on the back of a fish, maybe they would also applaud his beautiful poem and his wonderful sword dance?

What an absurd and incredible scene would that be?

Tie Chuanjia came back to his senses from the shocking picture in his mind, his voice became a little difficult and dry, and he asked in disbelief, "They trained this giant fish just to be a ride, a ride for them to play?"

Li Xunhuan frowned and nodded: "I'm afraid that's true." ”

Tie Chuanjia asked again, "Who are these people? Galloping on the extreme northern ice sea, looking at this dangerous mountains and rivers, strange beasts and fierce birds as nothing, this place is used as their hunting place and amusement garden. Who the hell are they? And where are they now?"

When Tie Chuanjia said this, his eyes suddenly became blank, and his face was full of horror. The absurd and unbelievable images in my mind kept entangled. That imaginary scene had completely shocked him, and his heart, which was as hard as iron, was lost at this moment.

Li Xunhuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw him like this. Hurriedly lucky, slapped his palm on the forehead, and shouted: "Wake up!"

True power slightly transferred to the acupuncture point, clearing the spirit and guarding his mind. There was a burst of drinking in his ears, which made Tie Chuanjia wake up. His face was very ugly, and he looked at Li Xunhuan with some guilt and said, "Let the second master worry about it." ”

Li Xunhuan sighed: "No wonder you are distracted, when you explored those monuments in the past, most of the things you saw were dead things. Even if there are living beings, they are also those inexplicable and mysterious people, although they are mysterious and mysterious, but they are also in the imagination, and their books that record things are all myths and stories, and they are not enough to believe. ”

But now, the giant fish I saw was a living creature, so I added some associations to corroborate it, plus the dangerous crises and all kinds of incredulity that I have encountered in the past few years. It's normal for you to lose your mind when you're under too much pressure. Don't say it's you, after I have that association, I was also shocked and inexplicable. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xunhuan sighed and said: "I already fully understand why Shen Daxia and the poor playboy chose to retire to the rivers and lakes. It is also completely conceivable what happened to Senior Lu and their people. ”

Tie Chuanjia took a deep breath, trying to calm his mood as much as possible.

Li Xunhuan then said: "Actually, you don't have to panic too much, you can completely treat these scenes as those absurd and weird stories told by the younger brother." ”

Tie Chuanjia smiled bitterly: "But the stories told by the third prince are false after all. ”

Li Xunhuan smiled and said: "What if you assume that those stories are true? Those stories that are ten times and a hundred times more unbelievable than this one are true? Do you not think that this scene is too terrifying now? Besides, whether it is true or false, in the words of Buddhism, everything in this world is just a dream." What's the point of you being too concerned about the truth or the fake? ”

Tie Chuanjia let out a sigh, his mind had completely calmed down, and said: "The second master is right, even if these are true?

Li Xunhuan looked happy, nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth." ”

Tie Chuanjia snorted and said, "I just feel puzzled, who are these people?

Li Xunhuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but what is certain is that they must not be here anymore." ”

Tie Chuanjia asked, "How can you see it?"

Li Xunhuan pointed to the wounds distributed on the whale's body and replied, "Because the scars on this giant fish are very old, obviously they are old wounds for many years. The large iron rings that fit the four fins were made of fine iron, and they seemed to be embroidered at the moment. Moreover, this giant fish is very, very old. I don't know how long it lived, but the flesh of the wound showed that it was completely old. Even if we don't kill it, it won't live long. ”
