Chapter 244, Crystal Palace

The keel of this large shipwreck is bad, but the hull is damaged and many holes are known, the shellfish are entwined with colorful seaweed, the bottom of the water is like a streamer in the wind, and the hull is densely attached to the shells of wild shellfish, which have been layered for hundreds of years, almost forming a mottled calcified shell, and there are live shellfish and corals and sea cai growing on it. 【Reading.com】

The calcified shell of shellfish and coral remains not only eroded the hull but also protected and supported it, and hundreds of years later it became a huge reef in the depths of the ocean. Many brightly colored but unnamed fish shuttled among the seaweed, and a nearly 60-centimeter-long tortoiseshell swam leisurely on its limbs, and the amber dorsal armor pattern was unusually beautiful under the speckling sunlight.

The outside of the reef is full of life, and the dead silence inside the wreck is deep, and the yin and yang isolation that has been undisturbed by the vicissitudes of life for hundreds of years is the closer you get to it, the more profound the experience. Ordinary people will have an inexplicable fear when diving here, and they dare not drill into it. But there are many bold people in the world. Didn't McBush's team go into the cabin for salvage? As long as you are bold, You Fang and the others naturally have nothing to fear.

In modern parlance, this is a mixed cargo ship, and the cargo should be ballasted in the lowest cabin. The bottom of the ship is the most damaged part, which has sunk into the silt of the seabed. After a small half circle around the boat, the traces left by McBush sixteen years ago appeared. There is a large hole in the side of the boat near the bottom. It is not damaged when it sank, but the section of the shell on the edge of the shell is obviously cut by hand in recent years. Looking inward, I couldn't see anything clearly in the dark patch. Yan Liqiang, who was following Youfang, turned on the strong searchlight, and below the cave was the bottom of the ship, where you could see all kinds of decaying pieces of wood and porcelain in the silt.

The ship's porcelain was shipped in wooden crates and protected with straw mats in the intervals, and although it was broken a lot when it sank, many of it was preserved intact. The wood has been soaked in the closed sea water for hundreds of years, and even if the surface of some wooden boxes still retains its original shape, the texture will appear like cement when you touch it, and of course it will not float.

In fact, this wood has not been touched at all. In the hands of the wandering party, with a special method, the hard wood can be restored to the light of day, and the physical properties may be specially changed. Maybe there are special secret uses, but it's not easy to do so, and the success rate is extremely low.

You Fang glanced around, and then looked into the depths, the sea water in the cabin seemed to be very turbid, and the light column of the searchlight could not shoot far, as if it was swallowed and absorbed by the darkness. The consciousness is sensitive, and I don't know if it's because the closed bilge is being opened. The water inside is slowly flowing, or "wriggling" would be more accurate.

The unfolding of the consciousness in the water is very restricted, as if it has to penetrate layers of invisible pressure and invisible barriers, and the scope of extension and the subtlety of control are greatly reduced than usual.

You Fang suddenly made a gesture and pointed downward. The subtlety of Canglan's divine consciousness is almost the same as that of You Fang, and he is more proficient in operating secret methods in the water than him, and the Yuan Shen is not injured. As soon as You Fang reminded, she also sensed that there was something abnormal, and with a wave of the water thorn in her hand, this sea-blue magic weapon was almost melted into the sea water and the traces were not visible, but the sea sand below formed a whirlpool, and something was brought out by the current.

Canglan took it in his hand, and it was a pastel porcelain tea cup with a diameter of about ten centimeters and a height of about five centimeters. Very chic five-petal rose shape, and it is intact. This ship was loaded with export porcelain produced in Jingdezhen during the Qianlong period, although it was not as exquisite as the royal tribute porcelain, but it also had the exquisite and elegant characteristics of the utensils of that era.

There are hundreds of thousands of pieces of various porcelain on board. Although the salvage has been thorough, the deep-sea operation cannot be as calm as on land, and the divers are risking and relying on the weather to cooperate. It is impossible for so many concubines to be left untouched. Scattered artifacts scattered on the bottom of the sea are almost never cleaned up.

Cang Lan reached out and grabbed the teacup, put it into a thin net pocket hanging from her waist, and a few pieces of broken porcelain also came out, swirling and scattered in the sea sand.

You Fang made another gesture, took out an underwater flashlight from the thin net pocket on his waist, and took the lead in swimming through the large hole into the bilge. Cang Lan followed and swam in, although she was wearing a diving suit, her posture was like a deep-sea mermaid. Due to the sinking of the hull, the bilge is more than two meters lower than the seabed outside, and the first thing you feel as soon as you enter the interior of the cabin is cold.

This kind of cold is not only the low temperature of the water, but also accompanied by a kind of cold air that penetrates the bone marrow, and the more sensitive the person, the more obvious it will be. You Fang's perception and the sharpness of his divine sense were far from the imagination of ordinary people, and he immediately shivered, only to feel that the blood in his whole body was about to coagulate, and he inexplicably felt the urge to drink a big sip of spirits.

For arcane cultivators, this kind of place is a dangerous place, especially for disciples who have just started and have not yet cultivated, they must be careful to avoid it, its environment is much more sinister than ordinary barren mountains and wild temples. However, the mystic cultivators have their own spiritual sense or divine sense, and they know how to find a suitable place for the nourishment of the earth qi spirit center, and no one will run to this kind of place if they have nothing to do, isn't that looking for trouble for themselves?

Even the fish that seemed to be shuttling at random outside, none of them swam here, and You Fang and Canglan swam into the cabin one after the other with the courage of their masters. Cang Lan has no other purpose, that is, to follow the tour party in case there is an accident. The range illuminated by the flashlight was only two or three meters away, and beyond the range of the pillar of light was the bottomless darkness that could not be seen at a glance, which seemed to be the special depth of this ancient cabin that was not very empty. Concave said mixed Shanshun book dry) novel umbrella

Zhou Xiaoyi, the wings swim along the edge of the cabin, and the annual electricity is under the pillar, and it can be coyed everywhere. The porcelain tiles and the fragments of the wooden crate were also covered with a fine, somewhat black sea sand, and there was a large cracked crack at the bottom of the cabin. It may be the traces of hitting the reef more than 300 years ago. In the depths of the ship's face. The flashlight flickered, and You Fang was suddenly taken aback, because he saw a person lying on his stomach underneath!

To be exact, it was a humanoid corpse, without any bullish air in the icy water, and it should have turned into bone slag after soaking in the water for more than ten years, but the appearance of this corpse was still very complete, because he was wearing a tight diving suit wrapped from head to toe. The natural decomposition of the rubber suit is extremely slow, although it is already full of cracks. But the shape is still largely intact, and next to it is a vaguely recognizable oxygen cylinder that has long since decayed.

It seems that there was an accident here during the salvage, and a diver died at the bottom of the sea, and the body was left here! This is obviously not a normal salvage, or in addition to the normal salvage operations on the surface, there have been abnormal salvage here. Deep diver is a high-risk profession, and accidents are not uncommon, but it is obviously not normal for the corpse to be left here and left unattended.

No matter how bold Canglan is, she is also a big girl. The corpse was seen at a glance in this environment. The frightened hand shook and even the flashlight was taken off, but fortunately, there was a safety strap tied to the wrist, and it was fished back casually. Don't talk about her. Even the tour party was shocked!

In a place like this, if the popularity is very weak, the average person will have to hallucinate after staying for a long time. This is the natural influence of the earth's atmosphere and physical environment. For example, someone went to the Qin Tomb to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and in the hall where the material properties were scattered and the popularity was strong, he leaned on the railing to look at the military formation and said: "How can I not feel the aura of slaughter?" "This is actually a layman's term, if he is locked in a small dark room with a terracotta army, if he is not the kind of person with particularly tough nerves, it will not take too long, and it will probably collapse.

Diving itself comes with all sorts of illusions or hallucinations. Due to the pressure of the water, the ambient noise is completely different from usual, and people can even hear the sound of their own blood flowing, and the sound of breathing is particularly strange to the sound of the surrounding water.

Roughly around the cabin, which has been emptied, judging by the traces left behind. A simple calculation shows that the original porcelain, whether intact or broken, is definitely more than the 200,000 pieces that MacBush publicly salvaged. There are at least three or four or 100,000 pieces, and it seems that Wu Pingdong's doubts are justified.

It may be that McBush salvaged in two batches, both light and dark. It may also be that after all the salvage was carried out, the well-preserved fine works were retained, and a large number of fragments and the remaining batch of complete porcelain were handed in. Chinese porcelain has always been a popular variety in the Western art collecting market, and in recent years, it has also been particularly popular in China.

But all this is just speculation, what Wu Pingdong saw was only recorded in ancient books, and what You Fang saw was only the empty cabin, and he couldn't confirm anything at all. There is a method that cannot be used as evidence, but to confirm it a little, that is, to sense the traces left by the physical breath here, the most intuitive method is to operate the heart disc technique. As soon as he thought of this, You Fang's divine consciousness carefully moved his heart. It was the first time for him to operate his heart plate in deep water, not to mention that it was still such an environment, so he was quite cautious, his divine sense was extremely subtle, and his degree was very slow, and he planned to immediately accept the secret method in case of an accident.

Just a moment later. What a surprise! When You Fang felt that it was not good, but he felt that his heart disc technique could not be stopped, he was like gently pushing open a door to peep in, but the net opened a crack, and there was a huge suction force inside the door. In vain swept him in. You Fang's feeling at this moment can even be described in four words!

On the four walls of the cabin, the filamentous black seaweed grows wildly with an astonishing degree visible to the naked eye, and if you look closely, it looks like a strange head floating in the water, and in the blink of an eye, it is densely wrapped around the swimming side. Then he heard the wind howling. It was also mixed with rolling thunder, countless people were crying for help, and the stormy waves enveloped him on all sides. It feels real. Those black silks were like strange hands, grabbing him from all directions, dragging them towards the unknown abyss and sinking down.

There is not only a physical breath of porcelain left here, but also a stronger breath, You Fang's heart plate technique touched it, think about it, what happened to this ship?

This phenomenon may not have anything to do with the myth of chaos and monsters, You Fang knows that this is an ancient ship that ran into the reef in the wind and waves, and 800 people were killed at that time, even if you don't see this scene, the environment of the here and now can be imprinted in your heart. The secret method of the air gate cannot be performed casually regardless of the environment. If you change one, the nerves of 255 dived here, but this kind of "adventure" may not be born

Cangzhou Iron Lion, Luoyang Ancient Tomb Murals, I don't know how many people have visited, and I haven't heard of anyone who happened to the scene, but the little wanderer was stopped by the iron lion and was stunned by ancient paintings, that is his own reason.

But at this time, this environment was obviously much more dangerous, and You Fang had just been injured by the Yuan Shen not long ago.

Ordinary people may also have similar hallucinations if they are overly nervous and cause excessive environmental stress, which is not terrible outside, but don't forget that this is in the deep sea! If a person in a deep dive hallucinates, feels frightened, dizzy, or even vomits, and is almost 100% killed, the swimmer finally knows how the diver died.

Ordinary people can encounter this, and it is more likely that they will not be able to catch it, depending on the state of mind and slander and You Fang It is almost impossible to avoid accidents in the heart of the peak Shili, which is where he is more unlucky, but on the other hand, after all, he is a master of secret methods, and he immediately guards his mind and does not lose it, and he gathers and uses his divine sense to try to break free.

In the past, he often brought people's hearts into the picture scroll, but now he is good, and he doesn't want to be involved in the realm of illusion three hundred years ago.

Canglan was not far behind You Fang, and suddenly sensed that the gloomy, desperate, miserable, and resentful aura that was dormant in the silence around her was disturbed in an instant, and it gathered and entwined from all directions, attacking Mr. Rand. And Melander was running his divine sense to resist, but in the deep sea, the power of his divine consciousness was greatly suppressed, and he couldn't break free for a while.

It's broken, it's out of order! This is a silent, invisible danger, Cang Lan was startled and hurriedly turned on her divine sense, because she could not communicate, she did not use the offensive secret method, but like the previous co-act, complemented each other to assist Mr. Rand, and fused the power of the two divine senses together.

In this way, Canglan's primordial spirit was also involved in it, and the mutation in front of him was in vain, only to see the black silk dancing and entangled, falling into the same illusion attack as You Fang. She reacted quickly underwater, and although she couldn't see anything, she waved the soft thorn in her hand. Trying to run the water will coerce Mr. Rand to rush out.

The cabins weren't huge, though they couldn't tell the difference. However, no matter which direction you impact, as long as you break through a gap in the bulkhead and leave here, the illusion invasion caused by the environmental stimulation will naturally be destroyed. However, before she could make any further moves. The scene in front of me suddenly changed again, with the beautiful Ling Mountain in the distance, the white sand beach at the feet, and the blue sea in front of you.

There were dark clouds rolling on the sea, there was the sound of lightning and thunder, and the sound of wind and rain was shouting, and a large wooden ship was slowly sinking. Mr. Rand stood side by side with her, and said unhurriedly: "This is a piece of the primordial god world that I have cultivated, thank you girl for helping me, but she was also involved in that illusion attack." ”

The special picture scroll made by You Fang Nago is not afraid of fire and water. This time, he was also brought into the sea, and he was attacked by illusion just now, and he took it out of his net pocket. Cang Lan helped him, and his divine sense was compatible. Therefore, it was very convenient for him to bring her into the picture scroll. Otherwise, it is really not easy to "invite" such a master in. Wearing a wetsuit and without a microphone or communication cable, the two of them naturally can't speak at the bottom of the sea, but they can communicate in this bizarre way.

Cang Lan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and exclaimed: "Mr. Rand is really a strange method, he came to the depths of the sea and actually brought the junior into a crystal palace. ”

You Fang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You describe my piece of the world as a crystal palace? It really deserves the name of the Dragon Lady of the South China Sea, who is saying what she says. ”

Cang Lan also smiled: "This is the bottom of the sea. What is this not the Crystal Palace? "Mr. Rand's magic method can protect the primordial spirit, but the power of the divine consciousness consumed by such a spell is very great, and it cannot last, and in danger, let the junior take you out of the cabin quickly. After that, there is a chance, and the younger generation is eager to appreciate the wonderful things of the legendary Crystal Palace. ”

She told You Fang that she was going to use the water to coerce him out of the cabin, which was what she was good at. You Fang shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, with your and my skill realm, this is just a small trouble." It's not hard to get out of trouble.

It's a rare opportunity, you let me try a secret method first, and if anything happens, it's not too late for you to take me out. As soon as the words fell, the scene changed, the shipwreck in the distance quickly approached, the sea rose, and the two seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship, and the "Crystal Palace" disappeared. In front of me, there was still a magic attack with black silk dancing. But Canglan could already see Melander. I saw him wearing a diving suit, holding a cold cloud crystal in his hand, and the soft light of the white spar illuminated the sea water between the black silks, and there seemed to be countless gloomy shadows floating in the darkness in all directions, which made people shudder.

This cold cloud crystal in You Fang's hand, the spiritual refining is pure, and it has also been refined into the invisible netherworld soil, which is an unavoidable thing, and it is one of the pair of crystals he gave to Xiang Yinghua in Songhe Valley. Xiang Yinghua rushed to Hainan this time, except for the Tianji bracelet. The guide also brought this pair of spars, and she knew that You Fang was good at using the Yin and Yang Great Array, and this time she went to the sea. Let him also take the pair of hedrons with him.

The surrounding shadows let out a mournful cry. The white light from the spar also flashed, and the black silk fluttering on all sides seemed to be scattered by the white light. Turning into a trace of pure mist, it strangely disappeared into the hedron.

Cang Lan frowned secretly, looking at the secret method that Mr. Rand had cast, it should be to use a cold cloud crystal as a divine sense spirit to absorb the formless pure yin qi that was disturbed around him.

Theoretically, this is also a means to break the illusion of the moment. But in this cold and gloomy ancient ship under the sea. With such a strong yin qi, it is impossible to collect it cleanly, not to mention that the physical properties of the water body itself can gather yin! Doing so will only make the eerie intent of the entanglement even stronger.

As Canglan expected, the fluttering black threads became denser and denser, almost converging into a dense and impermeable undersea cloud, and only the shivering white light from the spar protected her and Mr. Rand in the middle. However, she didn't know that You Fang's heart was already happy at this moment!
