Chapter 23: Sharks
Zhang Yingshan and Youfu turned over and dived into the water one after the other, following the path of the sinking boat, diving headfirst to the bottom of the sea.
The fluorite on the chest of the two emitted a faint green light, and the corners of the mouth were bleeding and the cheeks were red and swollen, and then the green light shone again, which looked like a ghost at first glance.
Zhang Yingshan was secretly speechless, and said in his heart that thanks to his understanding of what was going on with this fluorite, he had already prepared in his heart, otherwise he would have lost half his life if he saw such a person coldly under the dark water in the middle of the night.
The further he dived, the darker the light, Zhang Yingshan felt the blood vessels at his temples jump suddenly, and an inexplicable sense of fear surged into his heart, people couldn't help but feel depressed in the dimly lit environment, plus they were underwater at this time, only two faint points of light were themselves and Youfu, the two of them didn't know anything about the underwater situation, and thought of the boat capsizing and fleeing, what if you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today?
Even if they succeeded, there were no ships in the vast Ying Sea, how could he and Youfu return to the shore?
The things that I don't pay attention to at all on weekdays are all thought of at this time, which makes Zhang Yingshan's heart full of confusion and headaches.
After settling down, Zhang Yingshan took out the pig's belly and changed his breath, and the bubbles of white flowers bubbled out of his mouth, feeling a little calmer in his heart, and gestured to Youfu, indicating that he was in good shape, and continued to search.
At this moment, Youfu suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward, a gray shadow lay quietly on the white sand at the bottom of the sea, and the sunken boat landed not far from it, it was the clams that were tied by Zhang Yingshan with ropes.
Zhang Yingshan was refreshed, paddled a few times, came to the front, and looked closer, the clam was no different from before, the upper and lower clam shells were tightly closed, and the rope that bound the clam was slightly loosened, and it seemed that Fang had just struggled underwater but could not escape.
Turning his head and looking again, Youfu's eyes were wide open, his face was full of vegetables, I don't know if he had been in the water for too long, or if he was frightened when he saw the clams in front of him for the first time, which was bigger than the grinding plate, Zhang Yingshan pointed to his waist with his hand, signaling Youfu not to brace hard, and quickly changed his breath with a pig's belly.
Now that Zhang Yingshan saw Tridacn, as if he had found a long-lost relative, most of the tension in his heart disappeared.
Youfu exhaled the turbid breath in his lungs, took a deep breath, his face softened slightly, and nodded slightly to Zhang Yingshan, indicating that he could still hold on.
At this time, the clam shell was closed and did not move, Zhang Yingshan couldn't help but make a difficulty.
According to the plan, as long as the clam opened its mouth to the moon, he took advantage of its unpreparedness and exchanged the "moon light" in the bag for the "red pearl" in its body, and then the two of them escaped by boat, and when the "moon light" slowly decayed on its own, it was done.
But now that the best time before the lunar eclipse has been missed, how can it be opened?
Time is pressing, only half of the air in the two pigs' gills is left, the shark hidden in the dark is still a huge hidden danger, at this time the lunar eclipse has been eclipsed, the sky and the earth are dark, and when the lunar eclipse is over, the clam will resurface, but just in the boat's bag of "moonlight" leaked a trace of essence, it attracted the sea water tribe to chase, presumably the arrogance of the red Xuanzhu is not under the moonlight, if you wait until the end of the lunar eclipse, you will inevitably have a fierce battle with many water tribes who come to snatch.
Therefore, before the moon is full, you must find a way to get the red Xuan bead in your hand to be safe.
The underwater pressure was too strong, which made Zhang Yingshan upset and irritable, and he had a lot of things in his mind, so he took out the water divider and used the tip of the knife to scratch back and forth on the back of the clams, making a burst of ominous sounds.
Suddenly, a tiny thought flashed in Zhang Yingshan's mind in the dark,
Before coming, Xu Pu attached his ear to explain his four poems,
"The sound is floating in the wind, hanging low is not hanging high, the shark weeping beads have tears, but the yellow dragon is pulled."
When he was confused by the merman and fell into a fantasy realm, the first two poems saved his life, and the two poems, "The shark weeps with tears, but the yellow dragon" What does it mean?
The merman is crying, the pearl is crying, and the backhand can go straight to the Yellow Dragon?
Thinking about this, Zhang Yingshan swam forward for a while, came behind the clams, looked down and couldn't help but suddenly open up,
I saw the tail of the lower half of the carapace behind the clams, with a handful of thick and hard steel hairs, and the smaller clams used this to fix themselves on the stone, so as not to impact the sea water or attack by big fish, this old guy in front of him, more than a thousand years of life are about to become fine, and it is said that it is fortunate to be attacked by big fish, and it is fortunate not to take the initiative to attack other fish, so naturally there is no need to hang steel hair on the stone to fix itself.
The steel hairs penetrate the mussel shell and are directly connected to the mussel flesh inside the mussel shell, which is where its weakness lies.
Touching out this middle doorway, Zhang Yingshan did not hesitate, beckoned Youfu to come to the closer, and the two of them exchanged their own pigs for breath.
Pick up the water splitter yourself, pick up the rope that binds the clams, and put the rope away and put it in the rucksack.
Everything was well prepared, Zhang Yingshan went around to the back of the clams, his feet did not enter the white sand at the bottom of the sea, he stood still like an iron tower, grabbed the steel hairs of the clams with both hands, and used the strength to pull the mountain and carry the tripod backwards.
I only felt that my eyes were bright, the mussel mouth of the clam was opened in response to the sound, the mussel meat trembled for a while because of the pain, and it began to come out after a long time, and the red Xuan beads the size of a bull's eye appeared in front of me, and there seemed to be a pen on the beads, drawing a pattern like water waves, the whole body was light blue, emitting a cool white light, shining brightly in the dark seabed, as if the sun was rising from the sea.
Zhang Yingshan couldn't help but exclaim, it seems that this thing is really extraordinary, and he did not hesitate in his hand, he immediately made a decision, snatched the red Xuanzhu from the clam shell into his hand, and the essence leaked out from his fingers.
Looking at the clam meat that twitched violently and violently, there was a rumbling sound at the bottom of the sea, and there was a tremor at the foot of Zhang Ying Mountain, and the ground shook like the mountain, as if something was about to jump out of the bottom of the sea.
The millennium clams have lost the red Xuan pearls, the yin and yang in the sea are unbalanced, and the sea water is surging rapidly, with the clams and Zhang Yingshan as the center, gradually converging into a huge whirlpool.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yingshan knew that the big thing was not good, so he clenched Chi Xuanzhu to prevent it from being washed away by the seawater, and he reached out to take out the bag in his arms, and the light of the "moonlight" burst out.
Stretched out his hand and handed it forward, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the "moonlight" landed steadily on top of the mussel meat, and the thousand-year-old clam thought that the red Xuanzhu had been lost and recovered, and with a "snap" sound, he suddenly closed the mussel shell and fled towards the darkness.
Now that the Chixuan beads were in his hand, Zhang Yingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly put the Chixuan beads back into the bag, put them in the placket on his chest and carefully put them away, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.
The fluorite in front of him has just been irradiated by Chixuan Zhu, and the light at this time is much stronger than before, Zhang Yingshan stabilized his mind, and did not stay, turning his head to greet Youfu to leave here,
Look at Youfu again, at this time, he was so frightened that he was silent, his two eyes stared straight ahead, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn his eyes.
Zhang Yingshan wondered in his heart, and looked forward with his blessed gaze,
A group of gray-white sharks were rapidly swimming towards them, and the first one opened its bloody mouth and headed straight for the blessed face......
