125. River of Death
I've seen the colourful polluted water, but none of them are as bright as what they see, and they are undoubtedly beautiful. But I always feel that the red, there is an indescribable evil spirit, my eyes wandered, and suddenly noticed that at the bottom of the original stone mirror, there are many fossils in the shape of animals, just looking at a kind of vivid, but dense and full, suddenly felt that the scalp was numb, and it felt like a ghost mound.
Zhuang Yu's voice came from his ears: "Do you know what the name of this river is?" River of Death. This seemingly static body of water hides a deadly secret, have you seen those animal fossils at the bottom of the river? These were all living creatures that touched the waters, petrified by the river of death in an instant, and then sank to the bottom of the river. ”
I was stunned in place, those ...... Are they all real animals? And then when you touch this river, you become a fossil? What kind of river is this, how can this be? This is not natural at all.
"Don't believe me?" Zhuang Yu glanced at us, and lightly instructed Yang Wenhao: "Wenhao, you can demonstrate the real scene to them." "Can you still demonstrate? I looked at Yang Wenhao in astonishment, and saw him walking to the corner, and when he came back, he actually had a green bamboo snake in his hand! The serpent was still spitting letters, apparently alive.
He walked to the rock wall near the mirrored rough stone, opened a small stone, revealed a small hole, and sent the little green snake into the hole, and blocked the entrance to the hole. Soon, we saw the snake crawling forward in the mirror, and strangely enough, its body seemed to be some distance from the river. The principle only thinks about it, and it should be similar to the light and shadow imaging of the underground palace.
The spectacle was happening right in front of our eyes, as the green snake swam more and further, and the moment it came into contact with the water, it seemed to pause, and then continued to swim into the water, but it didn't take long for us to see that the green snake was moving more and more slowly, and its body began to petrify, and finally turned into a stone sculpture. Then it slowly descended, sank to the bottom of the river, and became one of the thousands of fossils.
Each of us was stunned and couldn't believe our eyes. I only heard Sheng Shiyao suddenly whisper: "Petrified Lake." I turned my head in disbelief, he knew? Hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" So why can the river petrify the snake in an instant? ”
"Because there is a natural compound called 'bubble alkali' in its water quality, which is composed of sodium carbonate and a trace amount of baking soda, and the pH value of the water is as high as 9 to 10.5, which is higher than that of seawater, which is equivalent to a strong alkali, and the water temperature is about 50-60 degrees, which is obviously fatal to animals. ”
There is no doubt about Sheng Shiyao's knowledge, and I don't want to ask him where he learned about it, but I still have doubts, "But since we know that this water will be deadly, why are so many animals sunk at the bottom of the river?" Don't they know how to circumvent? ”
"Because if it is daytime, under the strong light, the whole water surface will appear unusually quiet, and the animals will be confused by the beautiful light reflected from the water surface, thinking that the water surface is 'blue sky', so they will rush down, but they do not know that the water surface is shrouded in strong alkaline gas, and the animals will be burned in the eyes when they get close, and once they enter the water, they will not be able to withstand the corrosion and gradually die, and finally calcify into stone sculptures. But ......" Sheng Shiyao frowned, and a doubt crossed his eyes.
Zhuang Yu, who had been watching our analysis, spoke at this time: "Yao, are you confused why this petrified lake appeared here, your analysis is all seen from the news materials, it says that this kind of lake is in Tanzania, Africa, called Lake Natron, known as the River Styx on the earth. It's 108,000 miles from Africa, and of course it can't be the river. After pacing two steps in front of the mirror wall, he turned back and asked Sheng Shiyao, "Do you know where this river is formed?" ”
Sheng Shiyao raised his eyebrows, didn't answer him, and waited for him to follow.
"It's between the cracks of a mountain, and the one in Tanzania is a lake, and this is a river, and it doesn't drain into the sea. It is like opening a huge heavenly cave at the top of the mountain, and then going straight into a hundred meters, converging into this river of death. What's even more amazing is that the mountain that surrounds the surface of the river, after being corrupted by its strong alkaline gas, somehow blends into what elements, and turns into the rough stone you see in front of your eyes. The mountains in other places have also become colorful because of corrosion. ”
Zhou Tong and I looked at each other, Zhuang Yu means that the whole mountain has become a rough stone like a jewel? What kind of concept is that? We saw the shock in each other's eyes.
But Sheng Shiyao said expressionlessly: "Don't go around these many bends, talk about the point." ”
"The point is that I found that there is a specific magnetic field in these rough stones, which is extremely close to the magnetic field of the space to which we belong. And the control and induction of the magnetic field is none other than your Martial King, and you know these mystical principles better than anyone else. ”
I was confused, and many incomprehensible nouns appeared in Zhuang Yu's words, but I saw Sheng Shiyao say with a slight sneer: "You are dreaming stupidly." Zhuang Yu didn't get angry but laughed: "Yao, is it a fool's dream, then you have to try to know." ”
Sheng Shiyao's eyes were full of disapproval, "Do you know the origin of this river?" Like Lake Natron in Africa, volcanic eruptions have formed volcanic ash that melts into the water, and after thousands of years of refinement, it eventually becomes the source of water of that character. Just by looking at the Styx with the same attributes, you can guess that your island was also an active volcanic island many years ago, and after eruptions again and again, it formed the current geological water outline. Do you think such a magnetic field could have been induced 2,000 years ago? ”
"Possibly." Zhuang Yu replied categorically, "Believe it or not, I have a strong sense of belonging to this island. Now there is no need to argue with me on this, I have studied this rough stone for many years, and I have never been able to understand its magnetic field is a molecule, this is the strongest place in the magnetic field, you try it, but there will be induction. ”
Sheng Shiyao didn't refute him again, and ordered in a deep voice: "You all stand back." ”
My heart tightened, and I pulled his hand and asked nervously, "Will there be danger?" He looked back at me and shook his head, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." Although I was worried, I saw that his expression was firm, so I had to let go of my hand and retreat to Zhou Tong's side.
Xu is Zhou Tong looked at me with a worried face, and he leaned closer to my ear and whispered: "Little sister, don't worry, Brother Yao can handle it." ”
I smiled wryly at him, still uneasy. But after waiting for a while, I didn't see any movement from Sheng Shiyao, just standing upright in front of the mirror wall. I thought about it, quietly went around to the side, and found that his eyes were closed, and there were dark spots on the hands hanging in front of him. I was about to step forward to stop him desperately, but Zhuang Yu grabbed his arm from the side, and I didn't think about punching him, but after being avoided by him, I heard him say in a dark voice: "If you want to cause him to be corrupted by demonic nature, just go up." ”
Zhou Tong and Liuzi, who were originally going to rush over to help, froze, and I froze in place, looking at Sheng Shiyao in a daze. He also said that it was okay, he urged the demon again and again, and one day he would be like the bat king, completely demonic.
Time seemed to stand still, and no one spoke again, until he saw the black spot on his hand disappearing, Sheng Shiyao opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed a strange red for a moment, but soon turned black and returned to calm.
Zhuang Yu immediately stepped forward and asked, "How?" Can the magnetic field resonate with you? ”
"It is inductive, but it is not certain whether it can resonate with the magnetic field of Yunnan, and it must be compared with the original magnetic field. With the only ability I have left now, I can't drive the medium to re-enter the Soul City for the time being. ”
"You don't have to go back to that Soul City." Zhuang Yu said with a deep face: "There is a ready-made city under the water of Lingxian Lake, Yao, you don't need to say that you know what kind of city that city is, and how it got to the bottom of the lake." ”
Sheng Shiyao's eyes suddenly showed a sharp light, squinted at Zhuang Yu for a while, and said coldly: "Yu, this is your real purpose." ”
Zhuang Yu snorted lightly and said, "In order to protect the immortality of the soul of the Heavenly Maiden, you did not hesitate to forcibly activate the magic mystic technique to hide Ning Cheng outside the parallel space, but do you know? At the same time as you cast the spell, the royal city of the Dian Kingdom and even the entire Dian Kingdom disappeared because of this, what is disappearance? It was in this earthly world that there was no trace of it, and the Dian Kingdom was annihilated from the entire torrent of history. If there are still ruins left in this world, it is the ancient city under the water of Lingxian Lake, which is the only one left in our ancient Dian Kingdom. Yao, it's time for you to do something for the Dian Kingdom. ”
Sheng Shiyao was full of sank Wu and didn't say a word, but it made me feel shivering all over my body, and I couldn't help asking: "Where is the Lingxian Lake?" "But whether it was Sheng Shiyao or Zhuang Yu, they ignored me, and the two met their eyes and stood still.
Zhou Tong pulled me on the side and whispered: "Little sister, you are also a person who has been walking around for so many years, why are you still stupid, Lingxian Lake, also known as Fuxian Lake, is located in the boundary of Yunnan, and it is currently a scenic tourist attraction." ”
There is a black line on the forehead, Fuxian Lake has naturally heard of it, when is it called Lingxian Lake again?
In Zhuang Yu's cold words just now, it seemed that the truth of two thousand years ago was revealed, and the sudden disappearance of the ancient Dian Kingdom was actually caused by the sorcerer to save Ying Ning. But I don't understand what Zhuang Yu wants Sheng Shiyao to do? Even if the ancient city under the Fuxian Lake is really the remains of the Dian Kingdom, so what?
In a flash, I only heard Zhuang Yu speak again: "I have gone into the water to the bottom of Fuxian Lake many times, and the royal city is very intact, because there is an invisible magnetic field space around it, like a protective film, which makes it separate from the waters. But at the same time, due to the pressure at the bottom of the water and the invisible magnetic field, it is difficult to go deeper. Therefore, even if archaeologists explore the secrets, they only get a glimpse of the appearance of the city, and there is no deeper progress. ”
"Okay, needless to say, when are you going to go, you'll come back to me when you're ready." Sheng Shiyao cut off his words, turned around and left, when he passed by me, I was still stunned, he actually agreed to Zhuang Yu's request? Even if you don't have to think about it, you know that Zhuang Yu has bad intentions.
