Chapter 8: Adventures Are Priceless

Dawn on the island arrived as scheduled.

The rising sun is like a soft red ball, gently floating on the surface of the sea, flat and round, and is slowly rising and rising by the waves.

The blue water shimmers and sparkles, and from a distance, it is golden.

The air on the island is fresh and humid, mixed with the fragrance of plants and trees.

There was no morning luck as always, and the habit of washing was also saved, Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong quietly disappeared from the mermaid's field of vision. It was originally not compatible with the mermaid, so naturally it didn't attract much attention.

"Brother Ming, is this different from the painting? Isn't it a set? Gou Hong stood on the cliff with some trepidation, looking at the sea in the distance.

There is no huge wave rolling in the picture, and the sea surface that should be calm and waveless near is the waves hitting the rocks, splashing countless fine waves.

"The sun in the painting is overhead, but now the sun is still at your feet, so let's wait and see." After Qi Zhiming finished speaking, he looked around again.

This cliff is more than 200 meters lower than the highest peak, but the distance between the two mountains is only about 100 meters, and the sea surface is like a gap formed by two fingers side by side.

The surrounding bare rocks were extremely hard, jagged red stones, no longer bearing the mark of time, like a girl's fingernails dyed with color, which had faded in color.

In the distance, low shrubs, embedded in stone crevices, tenaciously proclaim the existence of life.

The distance from the cliff to the sea is 40 meters, and if you do it as in the picture, you cannot jump into the water. The force of the impact of jumping straight down from the surface of the sea will inevitably cause fractures in both legs and spine.

It's a bit redundant to think about this now, so let's see when the time comes.

No matter how slow time is, there will be a time to reach the end, and the sun is rising overhead, and you really can't feel the slightest temperature.

In the distance, the sea was rough, and layer after layer rushed against the rocks on the shore, splashing a thousand piles of snow.

Only the sea surface with a diameter of about 10 meters under the cliff is as calm as a mirror, and the waves circle from the periphery.

"Da Gou, throw a stone down and try it." Qi Zhiming stared at the sea intently and said.

With a "pop", the stone fell on the surface of the sea, sank in, and after a while resurfaced, floating on the surface of the sea and standing still, as if thrown on a spring. I used to think that I would break a bone, but now I can't jump down at all, and the spring can hurt people even more.

Descend to an acceptable range before jumping down

Sure enough, after the two of them jumped down, they also floated on the surface of the sea like that stone, like stepping on Simmons' bed.

Gou Hong walked to the side and stirred the sea water next to him. The sea is still seawater, the same as the usual seawater. The probe reached down to check the depth of the sea.

"Brother Ming, this thing looks like a cylinder. It's straight and smooth, so why don't I go down and have a look?" Gou Hong shook the sea water on his hand and said.

"No need, the things on the portrait have been fulfilled now, let's take the next step!" Qi Zhiming said, bent down, and banged on the sea under his feet. The sound is like a drum, making a "knock" sound.

The sound did not spread, but went straight below the surface of the sea. Although it doesn't look transparent on a flat surface, it feels like it's hollow.

With the sound of knocking, the sea under your feet gradually rose.

Sure enough, as Gou Hong said, the place under his feet is cylindrical, and he can't see through what kind of space it is, and the surface is the same color as the seawater.

The huge pillar slowly rose about ten meters above the surface of the sea, and then stopped rising. He just stayed for a moment, and then moved closer to the cliff next to him.

The two stared nervously at the cliff in front of them, although they were getting closer and closer, they couldn't see any clues, and they were afraid of hitting the cliff. The column under his feet did not stop after leaning against the cliff wall, but melted on the rock wall like snow, and it seemed to melt the rock and burst into the cliff wall.

Between breaths, the column led the two into another world.

The column beneath his feet glowed with a dim yellow light, making it impossible to see anything ahead. It only feels like it is moving forward, but there is no inertia generated in the process.

It must have been four or five minutes later, when the march stopped, and the two of them felt a slow fall.

The huge cylinder compressed into the shape of an air cushion fifty or sixty centimeters high, and yellow light was generated from under the air cushion. The light then swirled again, from slow to fast, enveloping the entire field of vision.

Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong glanced at each other, full of questions.

The yellow light suddenly dissipated, and a unique space appeared in front of me.

At a glance, the radius here is two or three thousand meters, and the climate is self-contained, with sunrise on the left and rain on the right.

From flower-filled plains to snow-capped peaks, the four seasons are all in unison.

There is no edge to be seen around and above, and in the fog and under the cover of the fog, I don't know what kind of world it is. If it weren't for the flow of air, it would be like being in the ink and blue.

Entering this garden-like space, you feel the breath of being in the forest, and the silence around you is silent.

Stop, stop, stop, and go, to the foot of the mountain. The rectangular hole more than three meters high on the mountainside attracted the attention of the two.

The air cushion under the feet drove directly to the entrance of the cave, and in a hurry, the two of them were in a hurry to scold their mother, and they were washed away by the sudden flow of water. Then the eyes suddenly lit up, and they didn't have time to hug each other and rejoice, so they entered a new realm.

This is the entrance to a huge palace, beyond the eye and beyond the edge, and it is aptly described as endless.

There is a passage in the middle of the palace, which is straight, wide and flat.

There are pearls piled up on both sides of the passage, as big as the mouth of a bowl, I don't know how many!

In human society, it is a priceless treasure, right?

The pearl of the night shines on the roof of the cave, reflecting the pearls on the ground.

As soon as I wanted to go ahead to see what was going on, the air cushion under my feet automatically carried the two of them forward slowly, as if they had life, and they could sense people's thoughts.

There are countless fist-sized diamonds and red coral along the way.

Many unknown treasures are piled up on both sides of the passage like garbage, and any one of them can cause a huge sensation in society!

Where is this? Whose are these things? What kind of person has so many treasures?

The more I moved forward, the more surprised I became, and finally chose to ignore it. No matter how good things are, there are many of them, and it is not surprising that things are scarce.

The two of them were so surprised and surprised at the beginning that they turned a blind eye, and never raised any trace of greed.

It's not that the two of them regard money as dung, but they just uphold the principle of "don't take it if it's not your own", and no matter how good things are, they are also others'. Just take a look, right? Without the heart of possession, this fine tradition is not much in the world.

The air cushion under your feet is a good means of transportation, and it is moving forward slowly and quickly.

What is the concept of a rich country? Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong didn't know. As far as the wealth seen now is concerned, this air cushion under your feet is priceless. No matter how many treasures there are, even if they are priceless, there is no interest.

The two walked without saying a word, and there was no eye contact.

It's not that I'm stunned, but it's the master behind these riches that is even more terrifying! A person who can have such a great fortune is by no means an ordinary person.

The two raised the level of vigilance to the highest level. In this kind of place, in this kind of environment, it is necessary to be fully vigilant.

No matter how long the road is, there is an end. At the end of the walk, I realized that everything in front of me was strikingly similar to what I had encountered on my last dive.

Three stone tables, each with six stone benches, and the same rock wall appear at the end of this cave. It's just that under the neat rock wall, there is an old man dressed as a Confucian student. The beard is white, and the eyebrows are already attached to the beard. He wears a yellow tiara, a blue tight-fitting silk robe, and black square boots. Sitting underneath sat what appeared to be a piece of animal leather. His eyes drooped and he didn't move.

Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong looked at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"I'm sorry to disturb my seniors, forgive me!"

The other party didn't hear it and didn't react.

The two saluted again, but there was no response.

stood awkwardly for a while, and when he was at a loss, the air cushion under his feet automatically led the two of them to the old man.

Looking closely, the old man had no breath. The bare skin was wrinkled and lifeless, and I don't know how long it had been.

Looking around, there is nothing unusual in the cave.

Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong decided to find a good place to bury the old man first, and the tradition since ancient times is to put it in the ground.

The two discussed it and felt that the garden outside was the best, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful. The plan has been decided, and once again bows to the deceased old man.

Gou Hong said: "Old man, please go into the ground." We'll bury you in a moment, please rest in peace! You won't need so much treasure. We don't covet a lot, as long as one or two things are enough for us to feed our parents and children, and the rest is good for funeral expenses? ”

He was already a man with a broken mouth and used to talking nonsense, but fortunately he was silent all the way, but now he has found it all.

The two of them couldn't help but be tempted when they looked at so many ownerless treasures at the moment.

Originally, wealth was moving.

It is a bit absurd for Gou Hong to ask for instructions on the deceased in the name of "funeral expenses" at first, but it is the same ideal.

Qi Zhiming couldn't see him taking advantage of the fire to rob, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand.

The stone walls in the cave are like projectors, and many images appear.

It is a picture that records a man from childhood to old age. Recording the experiences of men one by one, until they sit down.

Dying, hopelessness, helplessness and grief. When he is happy, he is full of ambition, proud of all beings, and his spirit is bright.

The picture shown records the honor and disgrace of a man's life.

Seeing the end, both of them were furious.
