Chapter 203: Xuanyin True Fire
Without saying anything all the way, I came to the foot of Chibi Peak on this day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The red letters of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" do not indicate the specific location of the deep pool, and the blue peak of this pool is dozens of miles away, where to find the bottomless deep pool?
There were some villages under the Chibi Peak, so he went one by one to ask if there were deep pools nearby. I couldn't help but be dumbfounded under this question, but it turned out that this mountain peak was called Chibi Peak, because the deep pool was everywhere, and there were dozens of large and small. It is not known which one he was looking for.
Yang Xianmao pondered, because it was written in the book that it was a deep pool that was the most cloudy and cold, so the water should be very cold, so he asked the villagers which pool had the coldest water. But the villagers told him that it was very cold, much colder than other waters, so that basically no one went to swim in the pool, because once they went down, they would cramp without a cup of tea, and from time to time there were children who were greedy for cold and drowned in the pool.
This is troublesome, Yang Xianmao, for a while I don't know how to distinguish which one is the deep pool he is looking for from these dozens of pools.
I can only feel these dozens of pools separately to see if I can find any clues.
So, he began to observe the pool water one by one, and felt that the water temperature, indeed every sip was cold and biting, similar to ice water.
When he felt that the water temperature was about the same after testing most of the time, Yang Xianmao's heart suddenly moved, since the water in the pool is cold to the bone, will it be the same below? If so, any of these dozens of springs that emerge to form a deep pool should be able to reach the bottom. The red letters of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" do not indicate which pool of water it is, which seems to confirm this speculation.
Yang Xianmao decided to give it a try. He chose a carriage to reach a deep pool on the edge of the pool, which was about dozens of feet wide and equivalent to a small lake under the mountain peak. The water is wide enough to ensure that his large hollow iron ball will float smoothly and will not be blocked by rocks.
He carried the iron ball to the edge of the pool, then paid the fare and sent the carriage away. Yang Xianmao put the hollow big iron ball on the slope of the pond, resisted it with a stone, and then opened the lid and drilled into the inside of the big iron ball, closed the lid tightly, and then shook the big iron ball, so that the big iron ball bypassed the stone and rolled into the pool.
There were a lot of solid small iron balls hanging on both sides of this big iron ball, so the big iron ball sank into the pool water and slowly sank towards the bottom of the pool.
Soon, Yang Xianmao felt as if he was stripped naked and placed in a cold ice and snow world, because the pool of water was extremely cold, and it could still invade through the iron ball.
As the big iron ball slowly sank, Yang Xianmao could feel that the light was rapidly dimming, and finally fell into darkness.
Through the crystal glass, he could no longer see anything, only darkness all around, and the freezing cold. He immediately sat down cross-legged and carried the five fowls, the air currents running around his body, resisting the cold that came in through the iron wall. It was cold to the bone, making him fight with the roots of his teeth.
He could hear the slight click of the iron ball, the massive pressure of the water squeezing the iron ball. Although this iron ball is made of very thick iron plates, I don't know if it can withstand the huge water pressure. Because he's been drifting down for a long time. If the joints of the iron wall were crushed and the water flowed in, he had to rise urgently, and if the water flowed too quickly, he was afraid that he would drown.
My heart began to pound, fearing that something terrible would happen. Fortunately, although the clicking sound sounded from time to time, he kept touching the bottom with his hand, and did not feel any water seeping in, so he felt a little relieved.
When it drifted down for nearly an hour, it shook violently, and then stopped sinking, indicating that it had fallen to the bottom. However, through the thick crystal glass, nothing can be seen. It was pitch black.
So he began to paddle the two oars that stretched out to the outside of the iron ball by sealing the disposal, causing the large iron ball to move slowly at the bottom of the pool. The big iron ball kept touching the undulating rocks. When he designed it, he required that the weight of the hollow iron ball should be slightly greater than the buoyancy, so that it could sink slowly, not fall too fast, hit the rocks at the bottom of the pool and injure itself, and at the same time, when the oars were paddling, the large iron ball could rise slightly, over the rocks at the bottom of the pool, and not be stuck between the rocks.
He lingered at the bottom of the pool for a while, feeling that his breathing had begun to become a little difficult, and he knew that the air had been consumed more than halfway, and he couldn't help but be very nervous. And now, he didn't find any sign of Xuanyin True Fire.
Just as he was anxious, suddenly, at the bottom of the dark pool, he saw a faint light, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly paddled his oars, and the huge iron ball jumped under the water, slowly drifting towards the light.
The bright spots are getting clearer and clearer, and the space in the large ball is illuminated through the crystal glass, like a bright light. Yang Xianmao could clearly see through the crystal glass that it was a flame the size of a child's fist. The flames burned at the bottom of the bone-chilling pool.
The flames at the bottom of the water fluttered gently, emitting a faint blue glow, which made people feel a little creepy to watch.
Yang Xianmao first tried to touch the dark blue flame with the wooden oar, and found that his wooden oar swiped through the flames, but there was no trace of burning, and it did not have any effect on the flames, and the flames seemed to be nothing.
In that case, it should be fine to touch it with both hands with deerskin gloves.
So, Yang Xianmao opened the closed lid, put his hands into the deerskin long-sleeved gloves, and held the dagger hanging from the glove in his left hand to touch the faint blue flame again, but there was still no burning marks or feeling.
Yang Xianmao boldly stretched out his right hand slowly and touched the faint blue flame.
At the moment when his palm touched the flame through the deerskin glove, a huge energy shock was transmitted through the flame to his body.
Yang Xianmao reached out to the bottom of the flame, feeling that the bottom seemed to be a round thing. So, he picked it up with his right palm, and a dark blue flame floated on top of his hand along with the round thing.
At this moment, with the flames as the center, circles of power ripples rippled out in all directions. Every ripple of energy rippled over, and Yang Xianmao could feel a tremor in his body.
Yang Xianmao brought the faint blue flame in front of the crystal glass, and only then did he see clearly that the flame was emitted from a small transparent bead.
Soul Searching Mystery Yin True Fire!
And just as he was holding the bead that emitted a faint blue flame and watching, as the ripples of energy spread out, he heard a dull sound all around, and at the same time, he felt the iron ball shaking constantly, and the whole water flow was also chaotic.
Earthquake?
Could it be that taking this bead would cause an earthquake?
Yang Xianmao didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly put the Xuanyin True Fire in the iron box hanging outside the big round ball, and fastened the lid. Then, with a knife in his left hand, he quickly cut off the solid iron balls hanging on the outside of the big iron ball, which greatly increased the buoyancy, and the hollow big iron ball quickly floated towards the water.
The speed of sinking is slow, but the iron ball that has been discarded from all the plug-ins floats quickly. Yang Xianmao could feel the violent shaking of the water, and there was a dull clicking sound in his ears, as if there was a rock falling. His big iron ball slammed into the crumbling rocks as it floated.
Yang Xianmao prayed that the broken stone would not hit the iron box containing the Xuanyin True Fire, and if he wanted to smash this thing, it would be wasted.
Finally, the big iron ball rushed out of the water with a thud, and then landed on the surface of the water again.
Through the crystal glass, Yang Xianmao could see the crackling and falling of rubble outside, and half of the deep pool had been covered by the collapsed rocks.
Yang Xianmao hurriedly paddled the oars, slid the iron ball to the edge of the waterhole away from the cliff, avoided the rocks that fell from above, and then pushed away the cover, and put his head out, looking back, the crackling rockfall on the water surface generally fell on the surface of the pool, and the whole earth was still shaking, it seemed that the earthquake lasted for a long time.
However, the rock could no longer hit him, so he jumped off the big iron ball, opened the iron lid, and saw the palpitating beads emitting a faint blue flame, quietly placed in the iron box.
Gradually, the earthquake finally stopped. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He tentatively touched the Xuanyin True Fire Bead with his fingers quickly, and felt extremely cold. However, it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that you must swallow this thing into your stomach to gain the ability. So Yang Xianmao grabbed the bead and quickly took it out and threw it into his mouth. Even though he was fast enough, he felt the biting cold, and almost his entire palm was about to freeze and crack.
And the bead that emitted a blue flame was swallowed into his stomach without thinking about it.
Yang Xianmao originally thought that this bead would make him freeze or even freeze to death in an instant, but unexpectedly, this Xuanyin True Fire Bead, which was extremely cold to the cold, was swallowed by him and stored in the dantian, and only the dantian felt its coldness to the bone. The rest of the body is normal.
Yang Xianmao was suddenly overjoyed, and his whole body felt relaxed, but he hadn't felt it yet.
He decided to climb to the top of the mountain to find the exploding body of the Red Yang True Fire.
This pool of blue peaks is magnificent, straight into the clouds, he stayed at the foot of the mountain for one night, before dawn began to climb the mountain, looking at the morning glow in the mountain clouds, that kind of scenery really makes people think.
There is a road on the mountain that goes straight to the top of the mountain, but this road has been overgrown with weeds, but it turned out that the Taoist temple was destroyed by the war, and the Taoist priests died, and there was no incense anymore, and no one rebuilt the Taoist temple. After a few years, the mountain roads have been overgrown with weeds, he can only find a path to climb the mountain in the weeds, and from time to time he sees hares, foxes and the like, and even sees bears, tigers and other fierce beasts, but they are far away, in fact, fierce beasts will not take the initiative to attack people under normal circumstances.
In the mountains, he saw a number of village houses, but they were in ruins, and they were all overgrown with weeds, presumably destroyed by the war that had been fought years earlier.
Along the way, they could still see the charred dead wood, as well as some rusty blades and arrows scattered among the mountains, and they could imagine what a fierce battle had taken place on this pond of blue peaks.
