Zhang Yingshan often said that he has been soaking in the sea since he was a child, and he is like walking on the ground like a fish without a long tail, this is not boasting, in addition to swimming fast and diving deep, Zhang Yingshan's eyes are also different from ordinary people - the cornea is covered with a thin layer of eyelids.

Generally speaking, the concentration of salt in seawater will be higher than the concentration of salt in human body fluids, if there is no protective measures, open eyes for a long time underwater activities, eyes will inevitably be damaged, in the early years there was no swimming goggles, diving pearl diving and shellfish are all a draining business, few people are willing to do.

However, Zhang Yingshan was born with a physique that was different from ordinary people, his eyes were protected from the intrusion of sea water under the protection of his eyelids, his eyesight in the water was amazing, and his physical strength under water was not inferior to the flat ground.

But at this time, the black light is blind, and he doesn't know anything about the underwater situation, looking for an old clam in the vast ocean is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and Zhang Yingshan will inevitably have some drums in his heart.

At this time, although it was already the middle of the night, but fortunately, the bright moon was hanging high, and the big moon was like a high-powered searchlight hanging overhead, although it was not clearer than during the day, but it was enough to see.

Every full moon night, the clam will quietly rise close to the surface of the water, open the mussel shell to the moon, and absorb the essence of the moon to nourish the inner dan.

As early as in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there is a clam opera scholar's opera, that is, there is a scholar in ancient times, who sleeps alone in the middle of the night, and he takes a fan to the lake for a walk, and just walks a few steps, he sees a woman in Tsing Yi standing under a big locust tree not far in front,

This girl wears pearls on her head and cuts her pupils in autumn water, how beautiful she is, and how beautiful she is, there are countless charms and charms.

The two of them have a pair of eyes, just like a radish in the wax moon - they are moved,

From then on, the scholar sang and danced with the woman in Tsing Yi every night, and after a month or two, there was only one section, no matter how the scholar begged for two months, the woman had been prevaricating in every possible way, and refused to commit to him.

Unable to stand the scholar's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the woman told him in her ear that day that it was not that she was reluctant, but that she was nameless and fearful of being ridiculed by others.

"It's better like this, tonight on the night of the fifteenth full moon, I will sail to the middle of the lake to wait for you, wouldn't it be beautiful for you and me to be in the middle of the lake?"

Finally, I looked forward to it until it was dark, and the timid scholar really arrived as promised, and drove a boat to the lake.

But I waited left and right, and I couldn't see the girl's shadow for a long time.

The scholar was disheartened, picked up the oars and planned to sail back.

At this moment, the bottom of the lake suddenly flashed, and the center of the lake suddenly set off a huge wave, and a blue-green old clam broke out of the water, and the scholar was immediately stunned on the spot, as if he was dead, and before he could react, he was sucked into the shell by the old clam in a mouthful.

Until many years later, the world was in drought, the lake dried up, the green mussels ran aground and died, and under the dog days, the stench drifted out with the wind for more than ten miles, so that people did not dare to approach for three days.

When the smell dissipated, everyone stepped forward to pry open the mussel shell and take a look, only to see that in the rotten mussel meat, there was a pearl the size of a bull's eye and several pairs of adult male skeletons.

Such a huge pearl is rare, but it is a pity that it has been hidden in the decay for too long, and the essence has been lost, and it cannot be recovered.

Tonight also coincides with the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon in mid-air is terrifyingly big, Zhang Yingshan expects that the thousand-year-old clams in this sea will not hide too deeply, and will definitely take the opportunity to surface to the bottom of the sea to spit on the moon to nourish the red Xuan beads in the body.

Although the moonlight penetrated the surface of the sea, it could only shine a few meters deep, and when I looked down, the bottom of the sea was still a deep and dim place, like ink smudged in the water, and I didn't know how deep it was, and the pitch-black water was like a monster in the deep sea opening its abyssal mouth to suck people into the sea.

Zhang Yingshan felt that there was a big mountain quietly pressing behind him for some time, and he couldn't help but panic, people in a dark environment will inevitably be nervous and afraid, and feel insecure, which is the instinctive fear of the unknown engraved in the genes, and it is something in people's bones.

Fortunately, at this time, he could still see the moonlight, Zhang Yingshan felt a little comforted in his heart, and the water temperature seemed to be getting hotter and hotter at this time, which made people's heads swell.

Zhang Yingshan didn't dare to slack off, changed his breath with a pig's belly, and continued to swim forward and search slowly.

Suddenly—

I only felt that there was a gray-white shadow flashing in front of the left, Zhang Yingshan's spirit was shocked, and his limbs accelerated and chased forward.

Swim to the front and take a closer look, a giant clam in front of you is as big as a hill, the shell is slightly triangular, the top of the shell is curved, the edge of the shell is wavy and jagged, the surface is gray and extremely rough, there are several deep furrows, like a ravine that has been rolled over by a wheel, if it is not the thousand-year-old clams, what else can it be?

It is said that the genus of Tridacnus generally grows in coral reefs in tropical waters, and the Jiaodong Sea belongs to the Yellow and Bohai Seas, how can there be such a thing?

Affected by a series of factors such as wind, temperature and salinity, the seawater in the ocean will flow on a large scale along a certain pathway, and if the outflow water temperature is higher than the water temperature reaching the sea area, it is called a warm current; If the outflow water temperature is lower than the water temperature reaching the sea area, it is called a cold snap.

In the northeastern part of the East China Sea, there is a northward and northeasterly current that enters the Sea of Japan through the east and west waterways of the Korean Strait, called the Tsushima Current.

An eastward branch of the Tsushima Current, which extends into the Yellow Sea in the southwest of Jeju Island, becomes the Yellow Sea Current, which flows roughly northward along the Yellow Sea Trough, bringing with it high salinity and high temperatures in hydrological conditions that support many tropical marine life.

Zhang Yingshan thought that this operation was full of twists and turns, and it would not be easy to find the clams, and it was inevitable that he would experience a vicious battle underwater, but he didn't want to break through the iron and find nowhere to go.

Now that the clams are in front of him, Zhang Yingshan even can't believe it, and can't help but reach out to touch the carapace of the clams, a thick and majestic feeling can't help but arise spontaneously, this thing spans thousands of years, and it is really unbearable to pluck its feathers, but when I think about it, everything must be reversed, this time I just took the beads in its body and did not hurt its life, and I can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven.

At this time, as long as you take off the bag, and then find a way to let this old clam speak, so that a trick to steal the beam and change the pillar, and use the "moonlight" to exchange the red Xuan Zhu is done, and there is no hidden danger in the back Jiaodong Bay.

Zhang Yingshan was afraid that the old clam would take the opportunity to escape when he returned to the ship to retrieve the "moonlight", and he would never be found again.

But then I thought about it, it must not be like this, according to Xu Pu's words, the red Xuan bead in the body of the clams is the most yin thing in the world, and it is easy to take the life of the clams at the moment, but it will inevitably lead to an imbalance of yin and yang on the bottom of the sea, and the yin and yang in the sea will sink and the yang will be poured back, and then it will cause a landslide and tsunami, which will really lead to a big basket.

Thinking of this section, Zhang Yingshan simply held the rope on his waist with both hands, and pulled both sides, and the knot opened in response.

Holding the head of the rope in his hand, he went up and down a few times around the clams larger than the grinding plate, and gave it a big tie to prevent it from escaping.

Just tied strongly, before he could let go, he felt that the rope in his hand suddenly shook violently, and Zhang Yingshan was shocked.

"Could it be that this thing is really spiritual, knowing that he is bound by a rope, and his life is in danger, so he can't make a gesture and beg for mercy?"
