Barnabe stood up, folded the letter, and walked down the street to deliver the letter. On the way to the post office, he felt that his legs were surprisingly strong, and he obeyed the call.

At this time, Barnabe would not have thought of how the young man named Chen Wei, whom he could call the "heir to the mantle" in the future, would affect the development of the world's navy.

Qianguo, Hangzhou Bay.

There were a few sparks on the waves in the distance, and the boatmen were still asleep. In such a cold weather, there are no fish to catch, so it is better to steal half a day of leisure and make up for the fatigue of the whole year. There is a layer of mist over Hangzhou Bay, and the gray-blue water surface slowly opens, and the water is so muddy that you can't see things clearly. In this cold day, two black shadows slipped quietly in the waves.

The two big fish-like shadows swam at an astonishing speed, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye, it was Li Xiangtian and Lin Deli. After searching in Hangzhou Bay for a while, they finally found the outlet of the underground river and dived along the waterway. In front of the huge cavern, the two surfaced, gasping for breath.

The face was coated with a thick layer of oil to keep out the cold, and it was still visible that the lips of the two were frozen purple. Li Xiangtian untied the wine jug on his waist, poured down a few sips of spirits, and threw the silver jug to Lindeli. Lindley took the wine and drank it head-up, and then shook the silver kettle, only to find that there was no drip left.

"It's not back then." Lindley sighed and said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Xiangtian looked at him and asked, "There is one thing, it's better to make it clear first." ”

"I know what you're trying to ask." Lindley chuckled.

"Hmm." Li Xiangtian took two breaths of cool air, "The person you sent to pick up Pei Yao has already acted, right?" ”

"Actually, you should know that there is no way for her to stay out of it." Lindley sighed, "Our plan. It is the great cause of restoring the kingdom of heaven, and every useful person must contribute to the great cause of the kingdom of heaven, not to mention her identity, this trip, nine deaths. You just want to quit now, and it's too late. ”

Li Xiangtian nodded, and the two of them dived back under the black water, diving deeper into the underground river.

The river in the cave twists and turns, and when they get a little deeper, their eyes are barely visible, only a faint light guides them forward. Li Xiangtian felt a little uneasy in his heart. As I was thinking about it, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I fixed my eyes to look. It turned out that Lin Deli took out a fist-sized bead from his arms, and the light of his eyes burst out from the bead, which immediately illuminated the surrounding sea water.

Lindley held out two thumbs underwater, turned down and pressed. It was the sign language of the Heavenly Mariners, and Lindley noticed something wrong. Swimming a little further, the river narrows and the water becomes more and more turbid. Even if there is the light of the night pearl, you can only see the things around you. The two shortened the distance between each other. Hold your hand on the weapon tied to your back and carefully swim forward.

It won't be long. The river suddenly became wider. The stone walls on both sides are marked by knives and axes, and it is obvious that they are close to the mysterious underwater stone chamber. At this time, Li Xiangtian put down his worries, and he finally thought about the vigilance just now, the water in the waterway was too muddy before, but the water in this section began to clear again. Since it is living water, there is no reason to be full of sediment. Unless it was tossed up by something huge not so long ago. It's winter, and the animals in the sea are afraid of the cold, so some of them will touch the stone chamber. It's still the night before the morning, and I guess even if there is something terrible, it's still in a sweet dream. Now that the underwater stone chambers are in sight, even if you want to trigger them, you don't have this chance.

Three hundred paces ahead, there is a five-story stone wall. Four deep holes were carved out of the wall side by side. With their eyes, they could see that the walls of the cave were inlaid with steel bars the thickness of their arms. This is the entrance and exit of the stone chamber. Thinking of this, Li Xiangtian slapped his frozen face with his hand. Those corrupt and stupid officials of the Qianguo could never have imagined that someone could build such a stone chamber in such a place, and the strength of the Holy Army back then was really not to be underestimated.

In any case, we are finally close to our destination. He swam faster and headed for the stone chamber. was slapped by Lindeli steeply.

"Look at the back." The cold froze Lindley's throat, making his voice sound hoarse and terrifying.

When Li Xiangtian looked back, he suddenly felt a chill piercing his flesh and bones.

An ugly sea fish stopped a hundred paces behind. It was massive, with a large sarcoma in the middle of its head. The monster had small eyes, the size of a giant shark, and a huge mouth full of fangs.

Li Xiangtian knew that they had hit a big luck. The two glanced at each other, and frantically pushed the water towards the stone room. Underwater, compared to such a monster, man is as small as a fish and shrimp, unable to withstand even one of its attacks. This monster must have come after the breath of the living, and in the mysterious world of the sea, only the sharks that live in groups can kill this monster, they are mortal enemies that have been formed for centuries. If a person confronts this monster head-on, even if it leaves even the slightest scar, it can detect the smell of blood. At that time, the sneak attack will no longer be a sneak attack, but the outcome that is clear to everyone.

When the two people moved, the monster also moved. When they rushed to the entrance of the cave, the two of them waved their weapons in unison, and no matter how hard the pillar was, it could not withstand the slashing of the two sharp blades, and it broke off in response. The two merfolk slid into the waterway. It was a long, steep slope, and they climbed up a section with their swords against the wall. The monster followed, squirming less than five inches from the soles of its feet.

Li Xiangtian looked at Lin Deli and found that his face was full of water marks, and he didn't know which ones were seawater and which ones were cold sweat.

There is a rumbling sound of water in the dark tunnel. There was a lot of moss attached to the wet cave walls, and if they hadn't carried iron claws with them for climbing, they wouldn't have been able to climb this long, dark waterway. When he was halfway up, Li Xiangtian suddenly stopped and shook his ears. His keen sense of hearing made him hear a voice, mixed with the huge waves of water, which seemed familiar.

"How?" Lindley asked as he climbed upwards and looked down.

"Nothing."

When we reached the top of the slope, a circular steel plate blocked the way. Lindley reached out in the darkness to touch it, and felt countless smooth lines carved into the steel plate, "Here, it's time for the water inlet." There are no handles from the outside in, and there should be a place to control the whole situation. It's a pity that you can't go up. It's impossible to find that room. ”

Li Xiangtian thought for a moment, and suddenly rubbed Lin Deli to the top, supported the cave wall with two legs, and pushed towards the steel plate with all his strength. With a creak, the heavy lid was pushed through a crack by him. At the critical moment, Lin Deli suddenly pulled out the long steel knife behind Li Xiangtian's back. When he was about to lose his support, he shoved the long knife into the gap. A ray of light poured into the dark cavern, and the sweltering water poured in, suffocating their breath.

"Count to three, and work together." The board lid was covered with one more pair of hands from Lindley.

Li Xiangtian turned his head, looked at him and nodded.

When Lindeli shouted three words, the two of them pushed out with all their strength, and the steel plate actually opened in response, spinning and retreating to one side. The two jumped out of the cave with momentum. When I saw the scene in front of me, I was a little stunned.

It was an empty hall, with thousands of arm-thick holes open on the stone slab overhead. Gurgling water cascaded down the hole, down a funnel-like opening on the floor. The funnel-shaped mouth was at least the size of a school yard, all made of smooth marble, and the water flowed along the stone wall to the lowest outlet, converging into a huge jet of water. Straight into the underground river. The loud noise I heard in the waterway was caused by this column of water.

"Miracles." Lindley exclaimed in heartfelt admiration. Probably excluding the hilltop stone hall of the ancient Greeks. He had never seen such a masterpiece of ingenuity and natural mellowness in his long time in Europe, "It was the Holy Spirit of Heaven who led us here." ”

"The God who has forsaken his people? How can it be that the god who plunged the land of Kyushu into war caused all the princes to be divided and crowned kings, and there was no one who unified the kingdom of heaven since then? When Li Xiangtian said these words. There were black flames dancing in his eyes, as if he were no longer himself.

"So what does it matter?" Lin Deli looked at the man who was getting more and more excited, and there was a slight twitch on his face, "Alternating chaos has been done since ancient times. After the chaos, we can only rule the world, and this is the case in ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, and the European powers will become the rulers of the world in one day? It's the same everywhere. ”

Seeing Li Xiangtian let out a low sigh, Lin Deli shook his head with a look of disbelief, "Ke Lei, Zhang Wanjun, Hong Qiding, you risked your life to help these guys, who are they?" ”

When the word brother was about to blurt out, Li Xiangtian swallowed it back. Time passes year after year, and not everything has changed. The black flame in his eyes was briefly suppressed, "When I was very young, my father told me not to drink. But I didn't listen. Later, after getting drunk, he killed the dog officer. Afterwards, I told myself not to drink again...... But I can't do it. There are things that we say many, many times...... It's just trying to convince your heart. ”

"Now in your heart, I'm afraid there is only one woman." Lindley gave a mocking look, "Isn't it?" ”

"Women?" Li Xiangtian suddenly remembered Li Sizhu, he shook his shoulders slightly, and laughed, "Yes...... Woman ......" He laughed and then suddenly stopped, his foot stomped on the ground, the cyan arc light bounced slightly, and when the long knife was put into its sheath, there was a kind of angry sound of breaking gold and cracking stones.

Lindley stopped talking, and walked alone to the steps of the water hall, and when he reached the highest level, he stood for a moment, then pushed open the door and entered. In the corridor, Lin Deli stopped his steps, looked through the stone wall to where Li Xiangtian stood, and sneered silently.

Before Li Xiangtian left, he glanced at the unscrewed steel plate on the ground again, and then hurriedly climbed the stairs and caught up with Lin Deli at the exit.

Going up the stairs is where the stone chamber is located. The two of them held their breath, ran to the side of the door quickly, peeked around, and found nothing abnormal.

The person who designed the water temple has extremely high architectural attainments, and this stone chamber is even more ingenious, and it looks like it is much better than a labyrinth. The corridor circulars with narrow doors every ten steps. There are still hexagonal hanging lamps on the ceiling, but the original bright fire inside is long gone, only the sound of gurgling water is getting clearer and clearer.

There must be a mechanism hidden behind those doors. But these hundreds of doors all look the same, and it is impossible to figure out which one is the real stone chamber behind it, and which one is brewing behind the danger.

"Fuck." Lindley scolded. It's not that he's not in a state of mind, it's just that along the way, it's easy to collect the treasure map, but when he arrives at the place, he encounters a problem, and he can't help but be angry.

"It's useless to be in a hurry." Now that the morning light is beginning to appear, and the appointed time is getting closer and closer, Li Xiangtian is not in a hurry, and he looks confident.

Li Xiangtian looked at these doors carefully, and finally chose one. Walked to the front.

Lin Deli subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop in front of Li Xiangtian: "How can you be sure that it is this door?" What if it could be a trap? ”

"If it's a trap, don't you break it?" Li Xiangtian turned his head to look at Lin Deli, pushed his hand away, pushed the door open, and walked in.

The reason why he dared to be so confident was because of the piece of jade that Lin Yiqing gave him.

After removing the parts from the tarp bag and putting them together silently. Lin Deli followed Li Xiangtian with a revolver, a trace of shame flashing across his purple-gold face.

The stone chamber is dangerous, the back road has long been broken, and even the water tribes in the deep sea are afraid that the sea beasts with three points are lying in the waterway, not to mention Lindeley, I am afraid that the rest of the entire heavenly kingdom will not be able to find a warrior who dares to go into the water. After all, people are life-sparing, and even if they have to give it up, they have to see if it's worth it.

Li Xiangtian's steps were swift and powerful, and he actually gathered momentum. There was an accident, the long knife could be unsheathed in an instant, and Lindley took a closer look and felt that he was invisibly compared. He used to be a bloody man, but because he had developed a cautious habit outside for many years, now that arrogance was like a little tiger, and it slammed fiercely in his chest.

"This is it." Li Xiangtian stopped, pointed ahead and said.

Not surprisingly. The square table in the center of the stone platform was full of sealed jars. Some of the jars were shattered. The pearls and jade inside rolled out, shining with a rainbow-like luster, crystal like magic, and had an amazing beauty. On the sides of the jars were large wooden boxes, which were tightly sealed, but some of them were broken. There was a dark golden luster, and several large round silver ingots rolled down beside the stone pillars, which had become a little black because of the moisture.

Li Xiangtian turned back to find Lindley standing behind him. A protruding vein jumped from Lindeley's right eyebrow to the top of his head. The heaving of his chest is getting lighter and lighter.

"On the west side of the wall, there is a cave where weapons are kept. This saves a lot of trouble. Lindley put the pistol in his waist, clapped his hands, and looked up, his eyes gray and unrecognizable.

"Got an armory? Are there still foreign guns? Li Xiangtian was slightly stunned.

Lindley smiled wryly, nodded, and led him towards a cave.

Before coming to the cave, Li Xiangtian looked at the various weapons placed inside, and couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh again.

There are not only a large number of cold weapons such as swords here, but also a lot of foreign guns, and in one corner, Li Xiangtian even saw a bronze cannon.

These weapons, whether they are cold weapons or firearms, have been carefully maintained when they are put here, so that after so many years, most of them are not badly corroded, and if they are scrubbed a little, they can be as clean as new and reused.
