I changed the hot water in Zeng Qian's teacup, she was so busy talking that she forgot to drink tea, and the tea was already there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info poured tea for her and asked her: "Xiao Zeng, you have helped me check so much information, I am very grateful, you can come in person, I am even more sincerely happy, and I am sincerely happy for Team Cao." But this time, Zeng Qian choked on me, without a shy expression at all, but sighed.

"Uncle Chang, I'm a little worried that Team Cao is real, and I won't hide it from you. From the beginning of this Poyang Lake case, I felt that something was wrong with Lao Cao. He never told me the details of the case, and all I knew was from you. After he left Beijing, he called me twice and hung up after a few minutes. In the past, he always liked to discuss his case with me, but this time he didn't mention it at all, which was too strange. ”

I heard the resentment in Zeng Qian's words, but I was more worried, so I enlightened her: "Team Cao actually didn't talk to me much, this time I came to Jiangxi, he was the leader of the team, commanding dozens of people, and the files I saw were all confidential materials, so naturally I couldn't be as casual as usual." I heard Xiao Lei tell me that the leaders of the bureau talked to Team Cao before they came, it seems that the ministry is going to set up a new bureau-level unit, and it is still very mysterious. ”

Zeng Qian held the teacup and didn't let go for a moment, it seemed that her hands were very cold, but there was no joy on her face. "Lao Cao told me about this before the Spring Festival, but I don't think it's because of the promotion, Uncle Chang, you know him better than me, he is not an official addict, he likes to handle cases. His change is because of the incident in Poyang Lake, I can feel it. ”

"Maybe it's because of organizational discipline, after all, his current responsibilities are different from before, and he can't just say anything. ”

"Uncle Chang, you don't have to enlighten me for him. What do you think happened to Poyang Lake? If the research ship is missing, it is more likely that the wind whirlpool caused by the special climate environment here has nothing to do with what you asked me to investigate. If the luminous body in the lake is a freshwater luminescent mushroom, then it is likely that the lake water has been polluted, and the freshwater luminescent mushroom emits such a strong light, I always feel that Professor Zhu's guess is right, there is likely to be strong radiation in the lake, which is why Lao Cao can't say it?"

"So Xiao Zeng, you are here, and we will get closer to the truth. The shipwreck at Poyang Lake is thousands of years old, not recent, and the strange thing about it is that the wreckage of the wrecked ship cannot be found. Poyang Lake was more than 6,000 square kilometers at its largest, and now it is less than 3,000 square kilometers. As I spoke, I took out a sketch drawn by Lao Huang and briefly talked about the relationship between the shipwreck and the underwater geothermal river.

"Xiao Zeng, I asked you to help check the freshwater luminescent creatures, it is only my inference, one is because of all the sightings, in addition to the abnormal weather, the more important thing is the existence of lumines, and the luminous matter has a direct connection with the geothermal river, it seems that the luminous matter has thermophilic properties. Second, the missing boats on the lake, it seems that God is selective, the more people on board, or the more creatures, the greater the probability of disappearance, this selectivity should not be the choice of climate, but the choice of biology, the instinctive choice of creatures, which is why I have always suspected that the luminous body is a living thing. I paused for a moment, waiting for Zeng Qian to follow my train of thought and light a cigarette by the way.

"These three have a certain relationship with the mutation of luminescent bacteria or the pollution of the lake water. In ancient times, meteorites did fall here, there should be a crater under Poyang Lake, and the legend of the falling star pier should be true. According to the descriptions of local boatmen and fishermen, such as Lao Huang and Lao Qi, the source of the geothermal river is likely to be in the center of the crater. If this hypothesis is confirmed, then there must be a causal relationship between shipwrecks, bad weather suddenness, whirlpools, and luminous bodies. But the only thing that can't be explained is where all the wrecks went?"

Zeng Qian listened to my words, stared at the sketch for a long time, and muttered: "Uncle Chang, I have heard a saying before, there are many geomagnetic anomalies on the 30th parallel of north latitude, the pyramids of Egypt, the Tower of Babel in Babylon, Shangrilai in Tibet, Sanxingdui in Sichuan, Shennongjia in Hubei, etc., and the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil's Sea in the southern part of Japan are also on this line, and these two places are also the places with the most shipwrecks. Poyang Lake should also be at 30 degrees north latitude, is it possible that there is a space-time vortex here, as those reports say, and the missing ships have gone to another time and space?"

"There is no factual evidence for these speculations, and I can't judge. But the geomagnetic anomalies and space-time vortices you are talking about are real, but not just on the 30th parallel. Our ancients called it Xuanmen, and Xuanmen has a deep connection with Chinese Feng Shui, but I don't think the matter of Poyang Lake has anything to do with Xuanmen, which is not a selective biological phenomenon. From the 70s to the present, I have entered the Xuanmen no less than five times, and I am afraid that no one knows the Xuanmen better than me. Geothermal rivers, water temperatures, seasons, water currents, and even fishermen's rituals always make me feel that we are dealing with conscious and intelligent beings, not simply geomagnetic anomalies or time and space disorders. My casual remarks were obviously beyond Zeng Qian's comprehension. But Zeng Qian's biggest advantage is that she won't waste time on fruitless guesses, she thought a little and asked straightforwardly:

"Uncle Chang, then how do you plan to continue to investigate and prove your point?"

I smiled at Zeng Qian: "Girl, before you came, to be honest, I didn't know the depths of the clouds, and the sky was faint and sunny when you came." Early tomorrow morning, Lao Qi and Lao Huang will set up a boat to take us to the source of the geothermal river. If this is the center of the crater, I think you'll find something. If you make a discovery, then a chain of mysteries will have clues to solve. ”

Zeng Qian looked at me stunned, not understanding where my confidence came from.

"Xiao Zeng, our current view of historical materialism always believes that what is recorded in ancient myths is the imagination of the ancestors. But in fact, we all know in our hearts that the ancients are far from being as unbearable as the historians of later dynasties. Many of their accounts are facts, and many of them stand up to historical consideration. It's as if in the past we thought that the Xia Dynasty was a myth, maybe it was a dynasty that didn't exist, because there is no archaeological evidence, and the discovery of the ruins of Yanshi Erlitou proves that the Xia Dynasty is a historical fact. The way of thinking of the ancients is different from ours, and their way of writing is also different from ours. ”

"The lake god of Poyang Lake has always been the god of Xuanwu before the Northern Song Dynasty, and Xuanwu is also the god of water and the god of Xuanwu in ancient books. I have been wondering how the turtle and snake are two different species? Xiao Zeng, you are an expert in biology, you should know that this is impossible. Then what the ancients saw must not be a turtle and snake, but a creature with the characteristics of both turtles and snakes, a creature that they had never seen, just like the later four dislike and unicorn beasts. ”

Unconsciously, I had already pulled the topic far away, but Zeng Qian did not have the slightest intention to refute, but fell into deep contemplation. That being the case, I simply continued.

"The phoenix does not come, the river does not come out of the map, the river map in the Analects is carried by Xuanwu, Fu Xi from this picture to understand the innate gossip, can be said to be the origin of Chinese philosophical thought. But the shell of Xuanwu should be very huge, otherwise it would be impossible for the female snail to use it to make up the sky. If Xuanwu is a turtle body, the turtle is a hibernating animal, which can remain dormant at low temperatures, immortal for thousands of years, immortal for 10,000 years, and revived once the temperature is suitable. But if it is a snake hidden in the shell of a turtle, it is also a giant python, a thousand-year-old snake, and it will cross the catastrophe into a Jiao and soar above the nine heavens. So, does this refer to the peculiar climatic conditions of the whirlpools and waterspouts of Poyang Lake when the lake god appeared?"

"Perhaps, the god of Poyang Lake is real, maybe Xuanwu is also real, but it is not the turtle shell snake body that the ancestors thought, just like the Chu Ci recorded, Xuanwu Buxi Jellyfish, and I expect Xi Nanrong. Is it a magnificent picture composed of countless freshwater luminescent fungi, and a strange natural phenomenon that is about to occur? This picture, the shipwright Lao Huang has witnessed, and I believe that more ancestors have witnessed it, and the things beyond knowledge and cognition can only be attributed to God. Perhaps what we are proving is the existence of the legendary god, the existence of an unknown creature. ”

After saying this, Zeng Qian and I fell into a long silence. But the tacit understanding and trust between us made her nod: "Uncle Chang, what you said is still speculation to me, but I brought the instruments and equipment in the institute, if the luminous body is a freshwater luminescent isobravuls, I will definitely be able to detect it." ”

Although my plan was good, I was so excited to talk to Zeng Qian that I forgot to inform Team Cao that we would leave tomorrow morning. It wasn't until our group got on the fishing boat prepared by Lao Qi and sailed to the center of the lake that we suddenly remembered and hurriedly dialed the phone, but the strange thing is that the satellite phone seemed to be interfered with and could not be reached. I looked at the gloomy sky, could it be that the clouds were blocking the signal? Poyang Lake on this day was calm, and my heart palpitated.
