Chapter 194: The Vast Ze Realm Shocking Mountain City Re-enter the Fog Realm and show the way
With this water boat, everyone can be regarded as seeing a glimmer of hope again. I saw Wu Weiyi pull out a hand from the side of the water boat again, and saw two pieces of bamboo wrapped around it:
"All these hands in front of you can twitch, and I'll use them to meet the mud here!"
Everyone was ordered to use this very simple oar to start stirring the mud up and down, but when they really moved, they found that if they wanted to paddle in this swamp, it was far more difficult than rivers and lakes!
As a result, the 'brims' on both sides of the boat are extremely wide, and the moment is bound to increase when paddling, so it is extremely laborious. Moreover, the mud in the swamp is much thicker than the water in the lakes and rivers, which is also quite troublesome.
Therefore, everyone rowed hard, but the water boat moved very slowly, which made Wu Weiyi himself cry and laugh, so he had to laugh and laugh at himself:
"Water Strider...... Hehe, just don't call it a water strider, call it a 'turtle boat'. ”
When Yang Asha heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"I never thought that Brother Wu would laugh like this, if this turtle is here, it will definitely climb faster than us!"
Such a witty remark made Wu Weiyi laugh out loud, and the people next to him also laughed, which instantly made the atmosphere here a lot more cheerful.
Wu Weiyi gritted his teeth and paddled hard, and shouted to everyone on the other:
"You just have to work hard! It only takes a few moments to get out of here! ”
In fact, there is no need to say more about Wu Weiyi, after all, it is also a matter of his own life, how can everyone not help each other? After a while, there was some progress, and when I looked back at the mud track left behind, I saw that the scenery had completely changed.
"Guys keep up the work! This piece of land will not be too big, and if it goes well, you may be able to see dry land in half an hour! ……”
However, it has been nearly half an hour, but there is still no shadow of half a cent of dry land. Therefore, Wu Weiyi's face became more and more heavy:
"Brother Xian, do you think...... The swamp now resembles ...... It's like there's no boundary! Don't say that you haven't touched the dry land, and even the mountains in the distance have never been close to half a point! ”
Hearing what his brother said, Mo Zhai deliberately looked into the distance, and couldn't help but nod and say:
"Yes! I never thought that this land was so vast, although we waited slowly, but after all, it had been more than half an hour, and it should be a dry land! ”
At this time, Wu Weiyi looked into the distance and muttered to himself:
"When I went into the water, I could clearly see a forest in the distance...... If it is said that there are no tall trees on the top of the swamp and mud, it is inferred that it should be dry land! …… At that time, it was no more than two miles away, and we had been swimming in the swamp for more than half an hour, so we must have ......arrived there long ago."
At this time, I saw that Mo Zhai's face was shocked again, and he jumped up and said in a rather frightened manner with Wu Weiyi:
"Brother, do you remember telling a story to Zhai?! Mo...... Could it be that ...... 'mountain market'? ”
"Yamashi?!"
Hearing Mo Zhai say this, Wu Weiyi couldn't help but slap heavily on his forehead:
"Oops! Worst! I forgot about such important things, if it was really that 'mountain market', it would be really terrible! ”
What exactly is this "mountain market"? The so-called sea has a sea city, and the mountains have a mountain city. The sea market, in fact, is the mirage mentioned as the saying goes. As for the mountain market, it is these illusory lights and shadows that appear in the mountains.
Before Wu Weiyi crossed, he had heard from the seniors of the archaeological team more than once that when he was carrying out field operations, he had seen the real mountain market scene in the mountains. For this reason, Wu Weiyi also read Pu Songling's article on "Mountain City", and he also has a slight understanding of this kind of thing.
The cause of the mountain market is still inconclusive, and the mainstream view is that the mountain market is actually the same as a mirage, which is also a refraction of light and shadow. Generally speaking, during the rainy season, when natural phenomena such as earthquakes occur frequently, it is relatively easy to encounter.
This time, it happened that after the earthquake, the surface of the earth liquefied, which induced the emergence of tidal swamps, and the air was filled with moisture. In this case, it is indeed extremely easy to appear in the mountain market, and Wu Weiyi is precisely negligent in this!
"I was careless for a while, but I caused everyone to fall into such a predicament with me! It really shouldn't be! …… It shouldn't be! ”
I only heard Wu Weiyi sighing in annoyance. And Mo Zhai, who was sitting on the side, saw that his brother said it so seriously, so he hurriedly said with good words and comfort:
"Brother, don't be like this, if it weren't for my brother's quick wit, he came up with this method of floating boats. I'm afraid we're already trapped and dead on that isolated island in the middle of the swamp. Zhai also heard my brother say that this mountain market is extremely rare, at that time, our minds were all on this water boat, and we neglected the mountain market for a while, but how can we blame you? ”
"Hey...... That's it, for the sake of brother, I don't need you to be relieved by your virtuous brother now. If it was really a mountain market at that time, then it meant that the area of this tidal swamp was much larger than we imagined, and if we wanted to find dry land as soon as possible, we had to hurry up! ”
Just as Wu Weiyi was sighing to himself, he heard Du Yu say "huh" again, and pointed to the front and said:
"Takerou, look! But what is that?! ”
Following the direction of Du Yu's finger, everyone looked forward, and saw that on the dark blue swamp in front of them, there seemed to be a cloud of mist, which was spreading towards this side!
Wu Weiyi's brows tightened, and he couldn't help but shout again:
"Oops! It's foggy! If you are trapped in the fog, not only will you not be able to find dry land, but you will lose your direction! ”
I saw that the fog moved with the wind, and the speed was extremely fast! In an instant, the place where everyone was was already shrouded in a cold mist. Wu Weiyi had to smile bitterly at this time:
"It's really a blessing, and the misfortune is not a one-way street! The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. ”
At this time, Mo Zhai's face became more and more solemn:
"I didn't know what the direction of this land was, but if I relied on this piece of stars at night, I could barely cut the direction. But now it's trapped in the fog...... Maybe, but it's just going to be spinning in this maze! How can this be?! ”
At this time, Wu Weiyi raised a hand and replied to Mo Zhai:
"Not really! For my brother, I thought of a way! ”
As he spoke, Wu Weiyi rummaged through the small pockets he carried, and when he was on the boat before, in order to reduce the weight, Wu Weiyi asked everyone to throw away almost all their belongings. Only Wu Weiyi and Mo Zhai's bags, Yang Asha's Gu urn, and Du Yu's medicine box, these things can't be thrown away.
A moment later, Wu Weiyi found the red light hook jade that Du Jiang had given him before, and then took off the fish intestine sword tied to his waist!
I saw Wu Weiyi pull out the fish intestine sword from its sheath, and wrapped the fish intestine sword with an extremely strong rattan, and hung it horizontally in the air. Then, he put the piece of red light hook jade on the sword body:
"Don't move, everybody."
Soon, I saw the fish intestine sword hanging in the air, but it seemed to be pointed! In the end, it only swung back and forth twice, and it was fixed in one direction.
Wu Weiyi pointed in that direction, and shouted loudly:
"Now I don't know where this dry land is! But with this thing, at least we can distinguish the south, south, north, west, and north, and now the head of the sword should be pointed to the north, and we only need to make the sword body always cross the hull of the ship, and we can go all the way to the west! ”
