Curator Guo put his hands behind his back and looked at the boundless water surface of Poyang, and the boats seemed to be stationary, embedded in the huge painting screen. The figure of Director Guo www.biquge.info also seems to be a part of the picture scroll, thinking about profound philosophical propositions with a posture of overlooking the rivers and mountains and the emptiness of all things.

"Jiangxi people have this kind of character, you say it's good, it's really good, Jiangxi old watch. Jiangxi people are not xenophobic, reasonable, sincere and hard-working, and they are standard obedient people in all dynasties. said that he is not good, he is too rich and peaceful, he is not enterprising, and he likes to escape. Therefore, the destiny of heaven has created a somewhat tragic character and fate of Jiangxi people. ”

"'When the wind comes to send Teng Wangge, transport it to Lei Bang to recommend the blessing monument', this is a poem written by Fan Zhongyan when he was a governor in Fuzhou. It is the destiny of Jiangxi people. Fan Zhongyan cares deeply about the people's suffering, and is well-known in Jiangxi. A poor scholar told Fan Zhongyan that I was so poor that I had no food to eat, and adults wanted to help me. Fan Zhongyan said to him, 'I'm afraid I won't be able to solve the problem if I give you money, I'll give you some paper, and you will go to the Recommendation Monument in Poyang to expand the monument.' The words on this stele were written by Ouyang Xun. At that time, the monument could be sold for money, and with a little knowledge, he could write a few strokes, and it was not a problem to support his family. The destitute scholar was about to go to the monument the next day, but a lightning strike shattered the monument the night before. Unlucky people will always encounter unlucky things, and we are talking about Poyang people. ”

After listening to Director Guo's casual feelings, I have been thinking in my heart, if the appearance of the Mandate of Heaven Monument is really a summary of the strange events in Poyang Lake, then the person who carved the monument should have understood the cause of the strange thing, but did not find a way to solve the strange thing. Just as it is difficult for us to tell whether the falling star pier was formed by the fall of a meteorite, the passage of time has blurred the truth of the shipwreck, and to find the mystery, in addition to modern scientific survey, should we also go to the vast river of history to pursue?

I turned to the back of the Mandate of Heaven Monument, and the situation was similar to the previous one, the back of the monument was also badly damaged, with a large number of deep and shallow potholes and cracks, and the handwriting was completely unreadable. But in the center of the stele, there seem to be some curved lines, and the depth of these lines is consistent, and it looks like the original pattern on the stele. I took a few steps back, squinted my eyes and looked at it again, vaguely as if it was a Xuanwu shape, the turtle was calm, and the snake was agile.

I have seen a lot of the style of the Xuanwu stele, and the Xuanwu is also carved under the stele, but I have never seen the image of Xuanwu carved directly on the stele, either the history of this stele is very long, there has been such a regulation, or the original pattern and the later cracks are fused, which makes me have a wrong imagination. But this is completely unrecognizable on the inscription, and it really cannot be used as a basis for research. I gave up my study of the back of the stele and turned back to the front.

I have to admit that standing in front of the Mandate of Heaven Monument will unnaturally lead people into a state of fate, and there are too many mysteries in this world that cannot be reached by manpower, and I am afraid that I know this more deeply than ordinary people. But should we continue to search for it with all reason? How meaningful is this answer? And what can it change? Things that once made me feel that I could give everything, even my life, to seek them suddenly feel worthless in front of the Mandate of Heaven. Perhaps, the purpose of the ancients in setting up this monument of the Mandate of Heaven was to warn future generations who tried to reveal the mystery of it to retreat in the face of difficulties.

At the moment when my heart was ape, I suddenly found that there was also Team Cao who was thinking hard about the Heavenly Mandate Monument like me. He frowned, his figure straight, but there was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes. At that moment, I suddenly felt that we were getting old, and I began to feel that we had to leave something for those who came after us, so that the years we had gone through were in vain.

Returning to the ship from Luoxingdun, Li Guoliang was still fiddling with the instruments he brought, and when he saw us coming back, he came out of the cabin and told us that there was no electromagnetic signal interference found around, but the geomagnetic field on this island was a little abnormal.

I've noticed this, when I went to the island, my compass had shifted, and it seems that there were meteorites falling here a long time ago, and it was still a rare meteorite with a high iron content.

We sat back in the cabin, saw that Lao Chen of the Water Affairs Bureau was in the cabin, and hurriedly asked him if he had noticed whether there was a pattern in the timing of the sinking of the ship? Lao Chen looked down and thought about it, and told us that the shipwreck mainly occurred in spring and summer, and it seemed that it never happened in autumn and winter. In addition, all the strange weather conditions are concentrated in the afternoon and evening, as if they never happened before noon. However, in the Xingzi County Bureau, he has a detailed file of the missing ships from 60 years to the present, and he can check whether there is any pattern.

Lao Chen Zheng said, suddenly remembered something, and added, "Lao Chang, Team Cao, you mentioned at the last meeting that there were no survivors of the missing ship, and I didn't react that day, in fact, I know a survivor." ”

Lao Chen's words surprised me and Team Cao, and we hurriedly asked him, where is the person? Lao Chen said unhurriedly, "This person is the father of Xiao Huang in our bureau office, and he is the first mate on board the transport ship in the summer of '85. It is said that the ship encountered a huge whirlpool, and the transport ship of several thousand tons sank in a few seconds, but fortunately he was good at the water, and he was in the stern at that time, and jumped the ship early, and did not get involved in the whirlpool, but after swimming for a while, he was still exhausted and fainted. When he was discovered, he had already reached the Great Lotus Seed Lake more than 20 kilometers away, and no one knew how he had floated out so far. ”

After Lao Huang retired, he had enough time to study the disappearance of ships, and he basically investigated all the shipwrecks in the seventies and eighties, and there was no place on both sides of Poyang Lake that he had not visited, and it has been three or four years now. ”

After listening to Lao Chen's introduction, this was really an unexpected joy, we hurriedly discussed, we decided to divide the troops into two ways, I, Lao Chen, Director Guo, Xiao Lei went ashore the next morning, went to Xingzi County to find Lao Huang to understand the situation, and by the way, check the information about the shipwreck in the Cultural Center and the Public Security Bureau Archives. Others continue to survey the lake for sources of electromagnetic interference and unidentified luminous objects.

The next morning, we went to the nearest wharf, and when we went ashore, Cao took a maritime satellite phone and handed it to me, and I repeatedly told him that he must be careful, if there is any abnormal situation, don't force it, and everything will be discussed and decided when we come back from Xingzi County.

On this mission, when I came out of Beijing, I felt that the Cao team, who was usually a bit talkative, had become a bit abnormal, and often remained silent for a long time, just staring at the file for a day. Originally, I thought that because of this operation, there were more foreign members, and he was the leader of the team, so he paid attention to his words deliberately.

But a few of us talked about the topic of destiny in Luoxingdun, and I found out that Team Cao's silence was distracted, and there was something in my heart. But I didn't have time to ask any more questions, so I patted him on the shoulder and got off the boat.

On the way to Xingzi County, while closing my eyes and recuperating, I thought carefully about the situation in the past few days in my heart, in fact, I am slowly eliminating the incident of the disappearance of the ship from the abnormal natural climate. On the surface, the cause of the shipwreck was caused by the sudden strong wind on the surface of the lake and the whirlpool undercurrent in the lake, but in fact, as Xiao Lei casually reminded him, the wind and the whirlpool seemed to be living beings, and would choose and track the ships on the lake, which sounded too bizarre, but it seemed to be the only plausible speculation about a series of events.

When the car passed a section of the road under repair, it jolted violently, and a spiritual light passed through my brain and shone in, I opened my eyes and asked Director Guo who seemed to be asleep next to me: "Old Guo, do you have a hot spring in Xingzi County?"

Before Lao Guo could react, Lao Chen, who was sitting in the front row, turned his face. "Yes, there is a town under Xingzi County, it is called Hot Spring Town, and further north along the back mountain of Lushan, there are many hot springs, and the depth of our hot spring water collection here is not large, but the water temperature is very high, about seventy or eighty degrees, it is estimated that it is an active area of the earth's crust, right?"

That's right, that's right, I secretly thought in my heart, it seems that there are really no absolute coincidences in this world, only unknown cause and effect.

Xingzi County is between the southern slope of Lushan Mountain and Poyang Lake, it is a beautiful town by the mountains and rivers, but unfortunately the tide of urbanization has affected here, the town is like a big construction site, the new city, road network, factory buildings are spreading along the shoreline, breaking the inherent tranquility here, more noisy. Fortunately, when I entered the town, it was still the same as it was more than a hundred years old.

Lao Chen arranged for me and Xiao Lei to stay in the county party committee guest house, and he first went to the bureau to contact Xiao Huang, and Director Guo went back to the unit, and he went home to see.

Taking advantage of this rare leisure, I made a call to Zeng Qian. Zeng Qian was obviously surprised by my phone call and asked about our situation in Poyang Lake, and it was obvious that Cao had not contacted her in the past few days in Jiangxi. There were also more and more complaints in her words. I had to comfort her for Team Cao, and scolded in my heart, I thought Team Cao had changed sex, but I didn't expect it to be so unresponsive, and I didn't even want to make a phone call.

When I brought up freshwater luminescent creatures again, it clearly caught her attention. She asked me directly, did I find any clues, so insisted, before the Cao team set off, she had already told him her professional opinion, there could be no such number of luminescent creatures in fresh water as we said.

I hurriedly asked her if there were any thermophilic freshwater luminescent creatures as far as she knew, and told her my speculation.
