There is a reason why Xiao Baoer doesn't eat crabs, she was once teased by most nobles because she couldn't use crab-eating tools. www.biquge.info What's worse is that she mistook the crab roe for crab feces, threw it all away, and dug up the crab meat for a long time, but found that the food was tasteless and unpalatable.

Yao Xitong understood, this is the experience that everyone who loves to eat will have, mistaking delicacy for dross, and completely unable to find the deliciousness of a certain food. To this end, he personally cooked a crab porridge and made crab roe xiaolongbao.

After the crab porridge was boiled, he threw away all the crab shells, leaving only a pot of white porridge to serve. The filling of xiaolongbao uses pork, chicken and crab roe, and it depends on whether Xiao Baoer can eat it.

Su Su sent lunch to Xiao Bao'er, Yao Xitong waited for her to finish eating before entering the room, seeing that her face was as usual, and she didn't seem to have tasted the special features of the food, which made Yao Xitong very hurt.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's okay!" Xiao Bao'er said with a word, reluctant to mention it.

Su Su forgot to tell Yao Xitong that Xuan Ze had spent a lot of effort to teach Xiao Bao'er to eat crabs, so that when she saw crabs, she would think of Xuan Ze and the relationship that ended without a problem.

Two days later, an island that could only be revealed in its entirety at low tide came into view. Worried that there was a reef, Qin Mao did not dock and sent a small boat to explore the way. Wu Jun took a turn, except for a lot of translucent things piled up on the beach, there were no creatures on the island, and there were no formations, so it should not be a "dangerous" island.

On the return trip, the crew responsible for rowing the boat dragged a translucent object onto the boat. He said it was jellyfish, edible and tasted good.

The things were handed over to Erer, and he was busy doing things, so he could just let the crew throw them in the bucket.

That night, the crew who had touched the "jellyfish" vomited and diarrhea and soon died of dehydration. All the crew members who came into contact with his vomit also showed the same symptoms, and Jairi and Yao Xitong were helpless, so they could only watch the crew die one after another.

Wu Jun remembered the translucent thing and hurriedly told everyone.

It was still in the bucket, and because it had been soaked in water, it was only half a bucket, but suddenly it was a full bucket, and it looked like it could overflow at any moment. The color also changes from translucent to pale blue, and occasionally liquid can be seen flowing under the film.

The crowd had never seen what it was, and guessed that it was poisonous, so they carefully lifted it up and threw it into the sea.

Yao Xitong sensed that something was wrong, and asked Qin Mao to turn around and return to the vicinity of the island.

When I came in the morning, I encountered a low tide, and I turned around and went back just at high tide. At first glance, the surface of the sea near the island looks the same, but if you look closely, you can see that the creatures are densely floating in the water, and because the color is similar to that of the sea, you can't see it unless you look closely. Occasionally, when a bird flew low, the back of the group of creatures suddenly emitted a pale pink mist, and the low-flying bird instantly fell into the sea and disappeared in a moment.

Xiao Bao'er said fearfully, "This thing must have been left on the beach at low tide and didn't have time to swim away, the crew thought it was dead, but in fact, it was alive when it met the water, which was very terrifying." ”

Yao Xitong looked at the island and was fascinated for a while before he said, "I don't know where Sima Xiao found the thing, it is actually very suitable for this island." Too much will affect the ecology of the nearby seas, and too little will not harm people. Thanks to the fact that the high tide of this island has disappeared and the low tide has appeared, so many of these things have died on the beach......"

With the location of the three islands, Yao Xitong quickly found the location of the Wenqu Xingjun of the Tianquan Palace in the Big Dipper according to the astrology, which is also the location of the underwater green boat.

Taking advantage of the night, Qin Mao drove towards a position with full horsepower.

Today is the fifteenth, and it happens to be the day when the underwater green boat comes to the surface. Wu Zu said that it would surface on the fifteenth day of each month for two to three days, and that by the time the ship sailed nearby, it was already the sixteenth, and if he missed this day, he would have to wait until the next month to see the green boat underwater.

The ship behind them disappeared, but Xiao Baoer believed that there was a traitor on their ship. Once the underwater green boat is found, this person will send a signal casually, and Lord Song's side will soon be able to sail over.

Worrying about it can't solve the problem, they only hope that before Lord Song arrives, they have found the underwater green boat and healed Yao Xitong's internal injuries.

Xiao Bao'er couldn't sleep, so she walked onto the deck with the black cat in her arms and stood in the wind. When the stars in the sky echoed the position of the sea, the ship slowed down, and everyone searched the dark sea for the location of the green ship underwater.

After a while, the ship stopped, and then the moon faintly saw a black shadow ahead. Everyone waited with bated breath for the dawn moment to witness whether the shadow ahead was an island that had not been found for hundreds of years—the underwater green ship.

Half an hour passed, the sky gradually turned white, and the morning mist of the sea covered the island ahead like a veil. As the morning fog became lighter and lighter, the underwater green boat finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Oh my God!"

Su Su couldn't help but exclaim, then covered his mouth, looked directly at the island in front of him, and knelt on the deck in silence, as if he was crying out for his sins before.

Except for Xiao Bao'er, everyone knelt down.

The underwater green boat is not an island in the traditional sense, but a temple. The boulder is built, and the connection with the sea is full of steps, countless steps lead to the bottom of the sea, connecting the temple, as if waiting for someone to climb down the steps to the temple in the depths of the seabed, and bow down in front of the Qilin totem of Great Xia.

Xiao Bao'er has imagined the appearance of a green boat underwater, and each fantasy is based on seeing an island first, and then the buildings on the island. She never thought that there were no islands in the sea, only a building that seemed to rise from the bottom of the sea, and it seemed to come from the sky.

The building resembles a square, with a circular shape as a whole, but a regular nine-sided shape when viewed closely. Because there is a pillar erected in each corner, the column body is carved with many patterns, as if telling a story. There are nine divine beasts of different shapes squatting on the top of the pillar, and they look like the nine sons of the dragon.

In the middle of the square is a three-sided temple, each side is the same as the ancestral temple in the palace, each side looks like the main gate, and in front of each stands a unicorn statue.

The unicorn is a sacred relic and totem of Great Xia, and when you see a unicorn in the territory of Great Xia, you must kneel.

Xiao Bao'er looked back at the people kneeling on the deck, and wanted to ask Yao Xitong if he could leave. Wu Zu once said that the underwater green boat appears on the sea on the fifteenth day of every month for one or two days, and today it is already sixteenth, and if you want to land on the island, you must get on the island as soon as possible.

There was no Yao Xitong in the crowd, and she looked around suspiciously, only to see that the boat used to explore the path in the past had already floated on the sea, and Wu Jun and Yao Xitong were heading towards the island.

"Fool," she scolded, and sped toward the boat, Jairus following closely behind her.

Seeing this, Qin Mao, who was still good in martial arts, also wanted to follow.

Zhu Zhigao quickly grabbed this person and said, "General Mao, don't forget the Qin family's family motto!"

Qin Mao let out a long sigh, almost forgetting that he was the captain of the ship, and forgot the family motto of "where the ship is, where are the people". only said: "I hope Brother Li still remembers the promise." ”

Brother Li pointed to Jianwei, and he was a lobbyist sent by King Chun to persuade the Qin family in Liangdi. After seeing Qin Mao, he abandoned the identity of Jairus, and claimed to be Li Rui, the son of the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, and promised to give the Qin family books on shipbuilding free of charge after finding the underwater green boat.

Zhu Zhigao said: "Sixteen today, can they come back?"

Qin Mao was silent.

The boat came to a halt some distance from the island, and several of the people on board jumped to the island with light skill. Previously, they discussed that if the island were to sink to the bottom of the sea, it would create a huge suction force in the waters near the meeting. In order to leave safely, the boat should not be too close to the island!

The sun has risen, and the golden glow adds a sense of solemnity and solemnity to the island's magnificent architecture.

Xiao Bao'er ran towards the Sanmian Temple with the black cat in her arms, and shouted at the few people who were looking at the stone pillar: "Don't look at it, time waits for no one." This temple is so big, God knows where to put what we're looking for. ”

There was some truth in her words, and several people calmed down the excitement of boarding the underwater green boat, and they all gathered around her.

The temple on the square is built in imitation of the ancestral temple, and the temple has three sides, each of which has a huge blue-gray stone door. Where the knocker should have been placed was a rectangular groove with a balance in it. There is a square stone in the tray on the right side of the scale, and the whole balance is tilted to the right.

Xiao Bao'er stretched out her hand and pushed down the stone door, not moving.

"What does that mean?" she asked.

Yao Xitong and Jairus had a tacit understanding, and walked towards the other two sides of the Sanmian Temple alone.

The same stone gate, the same balance, but the balance is a little different. A door with the carved stone scroll tilts the scales to the left, and a door with a carved heart with the scales tilted to the right.

Yao Xitong said: "Three doors, three balances, only the door of the book is tilted to the left, it seems that this is the main gate." ”

Xiao Bao'er curiously ran to the door and took a closer look. came back and asked, "Aren't they all the same, why are the scrolls on the left side of the main entrance?" she said and went to get the scrolls, Yao Xitong shouted anxiously, "Be careful!"

She quickly retracted her hand and regretfully told the crowd that the scroll was firmly attached to the tray and seemed to be one with the scales.

Wu Jun interjected and asked, "The scroll, the heart, what does the stone mean from before?" Everyone walked back with him, and what was placed in the balance tray was indeed a stone, which was handled squarely, and there were words if you looked closely.

He read: "Commanded by heaven, you will live forever." Sounds familiar, this is ......"

Jairus replied: "The jade seal used by the Son of Heaven is facing up, and in order to avoid secrecy, there is no dragon pattern engraved around it. ”

What does the scroll, jade seal, heart, balance, Sima Xiao mean?

Jairus guessed: "The three stone doors cannot be opened by manpower, and there must be a mechanism behind the door, and these three scales are the key to activation." Why the scroll, the jade seal and the heart?"

He couldn't think of it, Yao Xitong continued: "This was originally the imperial tomb, and Sima Xiao used it for the funeral book. Three scales, three objects, only the position of the scroll is different, and that door must be the main door, and we have to start from that door. ”

Wu Jun scratched his head, "Since there is a scale, should we find something that weighs the same as the scroll?"

Yao Xitong said: "No. Jairus added, "Even then, we don't know the exact weight of the scroll." ”

Wu Jun asked again, "What should I do then?"

"Answering Sima Xiao's question, what is the equivalent of the scroll. Afraid that Xiao Bao'er would not understand what Jairus was trying to say, Yao Xitong explained, "The island is very clean, and there is not a single gravel to be found, so Sima Xiao must ask us to put our belongings in the balance tray." ”

Xiao Bao'er's belongings were the Qin family's black cat, and she made a gesture to throw the cat into the balance tray, but this behavior scared a few people around her.

Yao Xitong hurriedly hugged the cat in his arms and said, "Books mean reading and learning, or being knowledgeable, and all this is definitely not for cats." ”

Xiao Baoer asked rhetorically: "Then for what?"

Jairus frowned and said, "Scrolls, does it specifically refer to reading books, or does it refer to knowledge?" Sima Xiao wants to ask what knowledge is equal to?"

Everyone stood outside the door and pondered, and the more Xiao Baoer thought about it, the more upset she became, and snatched the black cat held by Yao Xitong back and stroked it. Only then did he find that his waist was bulging with a big bag, and he was still carrying a bag on his back, so he hurriedly asked, "What are you carrying?"

"Worried about staying too long, I prepared food and water. ”

"I'm hungry!" Yao Xitong took out a soft bun and gave it to her, "Isn't it time to eat yet, why are you hungry so fast today?"

"I didn't sleep much last night, I'm hungry today, can't I?" Xiao Bao'er took the bun and stuffed it into her mouth, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and put the bun in the balance tray. She moved too fast, and several people watched the buns arrive on the tray, and were thinking about how to save them, when suddenly a voice came out.

Wu Jun followed the sound and left, only to see that the stone door with the jade seal was opened by a third of the way, and it was dark under the door, and when he looked down, he felt that there was a cold air bubbling out of the temple.

Yao Xitong said: "The jade seal symbolizes rights, what is equal to rights?" After speaking, he asked Xiao Bao'er, "Why did you put buns before?"

"I think reading is about getting better food, and that's true for rights. She stretched out her hand to Yao Xitong to ask for the bun, and the latter looked at the stone door that rose a third of the way, broke the jar, and put the bun directly on the balance tray.

Another burst of sound came out, this time they didn't rush to leave, carefully looked at the scales, and found that the jade seal and the soft bun were actually the same weight, so that the originally right-leaning balance was balanced.

Jairus and Wu Jun glanced at each other, completely unsure of how to describe the feeling in their hearts.

When everyone walked to the balance where the heart was placed, Xiao Baoer still put a bun and explained: "The heart is life, and life depends on food!"

“……”

“……”

“……”

Sima Xiao's idea of setting up a puzzle is no longer testable, and it is definitely not Xiao Bao'er's understanding.

Of the three doors, the other two were not fully open, except for the one where the scrolls were placed. One door is a third open, one is half open, and the constant sound of the machine behind the door is terrifying.

Jairus took a deep breath and said, "Let's hurry up and get in and out, God knows when this island will sink into the water." ”

The four men entered through the door where the scrolls were placed, and within a few steps they were startled by the scattered stone cabinets in the hall. I saw stone cabinets of different heights piled up in the hall, the short ones just above the knees, and the high ones almost approaching the roof.

"Dead tortoise, where do you start?"
