Chapter 19: The Sea of Mercury
Xu Weihang's heart is unstable and very weak, as long as the wind direction changes, he is the one who can immediately see the wind and rudder, so Li Luant has never worried about Xu Weihang from beginning to end.
The bow of the boat was the lightest, so Li Luant let Wogua sit there, Li Luant and Xu Weihang sat in the middle, and Zhuo Ziyan sat at the end of the bed to deal with emergencies.
The four of them huddled together in a boat were indeed a little aggrieved, and the other three people were also rowing their own boats, but the boat was always moving slowly on the water, and the speed was not fast.
Li Luant always had an anxious look on his face, but he refused to say it explicitly, and several people felt very strange in their eyes.
"I said Corporal Shell Lang, you have been constipated since just now, what is the reason?"
Li Green Ant looked around all the time, did not speak, but was thinking about the possibility of everything happening, as well as emergency countermeasures, about why Li Green Ant insisted on choosing a small boat and abandoning the big boat, this also made several people puzzled, now the boat rowed out dozens of meters, Wogua can't close the chatterbox began.
"Whoa—"
The sound of the oars plucking the mercury is really like swimming on the sea, a few people slipped out a hundred and ten meters, the boat in the mercury sea seems to be a drop of water in the ocean, and the mercury sea that cannot see the edge is also expected to make people sigh.
Li Luant has always been pressed by heavy worries in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to Wogua's questions, the water was quiet, and Wogua stopped talking because Li Luant didn't answer his own questions.
Although there is no edge in sight, there are some colorful paintings floating on the sea on the mountain walls on both sides, like murals, and some are carved in stone, which makes it more and more vivid.
After all, Xu Weihang is also a scholar, and immediately looked at it for a long time, and said, "This is not simple, we are now in Fang La's tomb, and these paintings are of course depictions of praise for merit." ”
"What's that talking about?"
The murals on the two walls complement each other, and it seems that some treatment has been deliberately done on the surface, so that after thousands of years, it will not be stained with dust and still be vivid. The pictures on the left and on the right are more coherent when viewed together.
But from the first picture, it seems that a person of low status suddenly rose up, and then built his own palace, and then raised manpower, and then conquered the city and conquered the city, and made great achievements.
"This first picture is Fang La's uprising, claiming to be the Holy Father, Jianyuan Yongle. The second picture is that it sets up officials and generals, and distinguishes the ranks by turbans, which are divided into six grades from the red scarf upwards. After you look at the picture, the description is clear, the rebels have no bows and arrows, armor, and only incite each other with the hidden and unpredictable things of ghosts and gods, burn houses, plunder gold and silk children, and lure good people to join the rebel army. ”
Then the people were content with the peace, did not know the military revolution, heard the sound of the golden drum and obeyed the order, in less than ten days tens of thousands of people joined the rebel army, defeated and killed the Song general Cai Zun at Xikeng.
…………
Wogua listened to the introduction for a long time, and was a little awkward, "What you said about Shinto, isn't this the history of the struggle of a dick." ”
Xu Weihang was stunned for a moment, and found that what Wogua said was actually very appropriate, so he immediately paused for a while, and held back a sentence, "If you have to think like this, I can't help it." ”
Fifteen minutes after going to the shore, I suddenly saw a long causeway on the opposite side, the long causeway is arranged with a row of ever-bright lights, most of the ever-bright lights on the left and right are embedded in the stone walls on the left and right, and the ever-bright lights on the opposite side reflect each other, but it seems a little intimate.
The more Li Luant looked at it, the more frightened he became, but the nest melon didn't think so.
"Let's speed up and get out of here early."
Li Luant lowered his face coldly, and scolded Wogua and Xu Weihang, who were playing and playing, originally four people rowed together, but now there are two of them, and the speed has slowed down a lot.
Wogua and Xu Weihang picked up the sculls a little reluctantly, and the boat was speeding forward in the mercury sea, but when it was still a few minutes away from the shore, a strange feeling of dizziness suddenly came to their minds.
What's going on??
Li Luant poked his head out to take a look, but saw that the ship that was supposed to move forward suddenly spun in place, and even worse, he heard a shout that seemed to be a tsunami, and a huge silver vortex fell into the originally calm and waveless sea of mercury!
That's right!
Li Luant turned his head, "Before we went up that step, did we hear what seemed to be the sound of waves crashing behind the steps?" ”
Wogua nodded truthfully, "At that time, I was still thinking, how can there be a sea here, but now it seems that there is indeed a sea." ”
"It's not that there is a sea, what Li Luant means is that in this sea of mercury, if there are no living creatures slapping the water, there will be no sound like that." Zhuo Ziyan's eyes were deep, and Li Luyan's heart darkened: This is the reason why he has been so scared, because he was afraid that it was his delusion before, and it was impossible for any living creatures to survive in the mercury, but what if there really was?
The diameter of the huge vortex was within fifty meters, if not of fifty meters, and although the boat was on the edge of the vortex, it was still dragged by such a great force, as if it were speeding around a large circle. And though it is now on the edge of the whirlpool, according to the current situation, the whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, the boat will surely turn into the center of the whirlpool, and then—
Seeing this, Wogua's face turned pale, and he hurriedly used his strength to row fiercely, and the same was true for the four of them, the huge vortex came abruptly, as if a huge swimming pool was filled with water, and the plug that blocked the drain was suddenly pulled out, and then there was endless horsepower and crazy sinking, but although it was sinking, the huge vortex was also falling in a tsunami-like concave shape, and the horizontal plane did not seem to move down in the slightest.
No, that's not right!
Li Luant turned his head abruptly and looked at everyone with a frightened expression, "Quick, full speed forward, let's go!" ”
Frightened by Li Luant's almost frightened look, several people, including Wogua, felt incredible, because Li Luant had gone all the way, and it seemed almost impossible for anything to surprise him like this, and now he actually showed such a look, in the end?
"The geoid is an irregularly closed surface formed by the surface of a still water and extending towards the continent. The same is true for the mercury plane, the elevation datum of the mercury surface to obtain geospatial information, it is a gravitational isotop, that is, when the object moves along the surface, gravity does not do work, on this surface, how can the mercury surface flow? The mercury surface is achieved by determining its distance from the reference ellipsoid, i.e., the difference between the geoid and the geoid anomaly. The trajectory is always between the direction of the current velocity and the direction of force. ”
"The direction of the force of its uniform motion, and the direction of the initial state of motion, which itself does not possess any such ability, must have a living creature below it that can affect the trajectory of the movement of these thousands of tons of mercury, and it is a behemoth!"
Li Luant was secretly annoyed: Why didn't he think of this earlier? The sound seemed to be the "bang" sound of the waves hitting the reef, if I had carefully judged at that time, through the propagation of the sound and the hertz decibels heard by the ears, I would have been able to roughly calculate how big the volume of that thing was, but I thought that there could be no living creature under the mercury, so I was just worried, and I didn't take it to heart, and now in the middle of the mercury surface, the thing suddenly came out, and my party was not a fish on the chopping board, let others slaughter it?
Hearing Li Luant's words, where do a few people dare to have the slightest slack, for a long time, Li Luant's words have been regarded as a holy decree in the hearts of several people, and now Li Luant suddenly said such an inference, combined with the situation on the scene, this can never be alarmist!
Zhuo Ziyan projected his glasses on the water surface while rowing to observe the situation, and several people worked hard, and found that the boat was still spinning on the edge of the vortex on the mercury surface.
Li Luant's heart was full of worry, and the eyes of several people were all staring at the water around the bow of the boat, really afraid that a monster would emerge from the bottom of the mercury surface, because Li Luant said that normal creatures would never survive in mercury, that is to say, this guy who can cause a tsunami, he must not be a normal thing!
At this moment, near the edge of the whirlpool, there was a loud "boom", looking up, only to see the huge treasure ship that began to see, because before setting off, buckle it or its floating anchor and rope were untied by the nest, and now because of the violent turbulence of the mercury surface, it floated to the edge of the whirlpool, but inexplicably I don't know what it was, hit to pieces!
Wogua gasped, and by the way, even the painting boat that had unanchored the ship before, and the stern of the treasure ship, also looked like it was about to fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Corporal Shell Lang, how do you know?" How do you know that if you take a big boat, you will end up like that?
Wogua couldn't help but want to ask, Xu Weihang also wanted to ask, Li Luant shook his head, "I don't know, I just had some guesses and worries at first, thinking that if I really took a big boat, I would become the biggest target, so if there was really an accident, it would definitely become the biggest target, and the same can be proved by the painting boat." Because the target of the boat is small, if the opponent is huge, the boat will not become a target so quickly if it falls for a while, and it is easier to escape. ”
And this place is Fang La's tomb, for the tomb robbers, the tomb owner must be itching with hatred, how can he specially prepare a big boat for you, is it to go to the resort to fish?
Li Luant didn't say this, because if he said it, he would have some complaints about the nest melon, and there were other people here, and Li Green Ant didn't want to make the nest melon lose face.
Wogua now understands Li Luant's hard work, and several people struggled to row to the shore, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket, this bit of strength can't get rid of the vortex at all, and the mood at this time is like ants on a hot pot.
Just when they were speculating whether they were going to abandon the ship and swim over, they only heard that it was like a deep-sea whale turning over, and a column of water that reached the top of the tomb was sprayed from the center of the water, and the water column seemed to be a whale's fountain.
Those water columns fell and scattered around, as if they were dense cannonballs, falling on the mercury surface, and stirred up a large and small mercury column, after this huge movement, I saw a pitch-black python drill up from the bottom of the mercury, at the moment when the black python drilled up, all the vortices in the space instantly solidified, and the water level on the mercury surface instantly dropped several meters, and all the foreshadowing made it the most beautiful cub in the audience.
The beads of the melon's eyes almost popped out, only to see that the black python had a thick body, coiled as if it was a villa, with a flat snake head, but the eye mask was white, and the snake hyacinth looked at a few people. What is a little strange is that the body of this giant python has a whole circle of orange light every ten meters, winding from the abdomen to the back of the black scales, but most of the time, this giant python bites its snake tail with its mouth, I don't know why.
On the unbridled mercury sea, several people looked up at the black python that swallowed the sky, and the nest melon muttered to themselves, "I heard that the five-step snake is poisonous, don't be afraid, I heard that snakes are blind, as long as we are still, loneliness can't catch up with us." ”
Xu Weihang couldn't help but complain, "What you said is a cobra, this snake is obviously not a cobra!" ”
"Don't worry, I also have a way to treat it, we put 30 grams of ginseng, 500 grams of wolfberry, 100 grams of rehmannia root, 4,000 grams of rock sugar, and 5,000 ml of white wine."
The giant python didn't move for a long time after sticking its head out, and the nest melon trembled with fright, "I just heard that this can seal a snake!" If it really doesn't work, the five-step snake is highly venomous, we are really bitten, try not to walk, and we can only walk four steps if we want to walk! ”
The Amazon Python is the largest snake in the world today, inhabiting South America, up to more than 10 meters long, and the snake in front of you is several times stronger than the Amazon Python, it will not be a fighter in the Amazon Python, specially smuggled here from South America, just to bite a few people yourself.
The atmosphere at the scene was strange and unpredictable, looking at this snake, Li Green Ant suddenly thought of a legend.
"By the way, I have a way!" Wogua stretched out his finger in shock, "You see this snake looks like this, it must be poisonous, although it is not necessarily a five-step snake, but as long as we find a way to let this snake bite its own tongue, it can be poisoned by itself, and it will not find any more ways to bite us!" ”
Wogua's brain hole is still as promising.
"Jörmungad."
"What mapo tofu? Corporal Shell Lang, what are you talking about? ”
Jörmungandr, meaning "behemoth", is a giant sea serpent that surrounds the human world in Norse mythology. The second child of Loki, the god of trickery, and Angleberda, the giantess, and the brother of Fenrir and Hela.
Because of its presence, Odin threw Jörmungandr into the bottomless depths of the ocean that surrounded the human world while he was still young, trapping it under his weight and the pressure of the sea. The serpent was already so large that it stretched out and happened to meet its tail on the other side of the deep sea. Jörmungård could not break free from the sea, so he had to hold his body close and surround the entire earthly world, so he was called the "earthly python" and "the serpent that surrounded the atrium".
According to the Icelandic epic poem Edda, Jörmungård is a giant serpent with a sinister power, along with the wolf Fenrir and the god of death Hela.
After listening to Li Luant's supplementary explanation, Wogua said awkwardly, "I said Corporal Shig Shell Lang, if you don't change your bad habit of worshipping foreigners, forget it, but now when the revolutionary upsurge is in full swing, how can you betray the revolution?" You mean that this snake with divine fire in the Atlantic Ocean is not the right undersea overlord, and it has specially drifted across the ocean to scare us. ”
Li Luant just wanted to reply, saying that this was not his intention, but he didn't know if it was because the sound of the nest melon was too big, and it was the black python that was startled or what the reason was, the black python that had not seen the sun for a long time was really used to the light just now, and now he was a little used to it, and suddenly "roared", and roared angrily in the direction where the nest melon was, and the fat on the face of the nest melon was blown back to grow, not to mention a young heart that had nowhere to be placed?
The giant python that was originally stationary suddenly attacked, Li Luant looked at it for a while, and suddenly pointed to the eyes of the giant python, "You see, this giant python has really existed in this mercury pool and darkness for too long, and its eyes have deteriorated, and now its eyes are no longer visible!" ”
If you can't see it, the sound that just now was against the nest melon?
Li Luant immediately understood, made a "shhhhh ””
Wogua nodded again and again, knowing that he had made a big mistake again this time, silent, speechless, the whirlpool had disappeared, and several people rowed the oars and prepared to leave quietly, because the density of mercury is relatively speaking, making the sound of the water waves dense, it doesn't sound very lively, it is very low, and inadvertently it can be disguised as the water waves caused by the giant python itself, what is terrible, just when everything is going well, when there are at most two hundred meters from the shore, Wogua can't help but let out a fart with a "poof".
"Dead fat!"
If the fart of the nest melon just now was nothing, this reprimanding cry really attracted the attention of the enemy, and even the scallops couldn't help but applaud for this pig teammate.
Li Luant was frightened, waiting for a few of his people to die in the belly of the python, and suddenly looked back and saw that the black python was gone. The painting boat quietly stopped not far in front of a few people, floating there obliquely, probably because of the huge vortex just now, which made it swing around.
