Uncle Ming showed that the tattoo of Gu Guess on the dinghy had a sea map of the Yilong Household, and there were mountains in the sea of Guiru, and he was surprised to see the color, and he hurriedly told everyone this information.

The chaotic water surface surge agitated, and I heard that the tattoo depicted the situation in the eyes of the sea, so I had to raise the oars and stop rowing, and let the people close the two dinghys and fix them with ropes. Uncle Ming couldn't wait to say to me: "The Tanren are the sea barbarians in the pre-Qin period, and the tattoo pattern of the Longhu otter family is from the ancestors of the Tanren to the present day, and the ruins under the coral spiral are probably the nests of their ancestors." Let's see if Egg Boy's tattoo can help us find a way out? ”

We take advantage of the light in the dragon fire rock layer on our head to see the back of Gu Chai, the human body is surrounded by fish and dragons, and the waves are the meaning of the scale tribe, scraping mussels in the sea, pearl diving, can not suffer from material damage, commonly known as "through the sea". The tattoos are all scenes of whales, salamanders and mackerel chasing fire beads in the wind and waves, and the needles and secret medicines used in the tattoos have always refused to be passed on. And unlike adults, tattoos and people have embroidered their faces since they were ten years old, and embroidered with a sea array means that the child is already a dragon or an otter, and he can go to the sea alone to explore Long Han. As the age increases, the embroidery of the dragon is not only clearer and more complex, the color also becomes more bright and dazzling, and the tattoo pattern becomes blurred and dull as the age passes, and the dragon can no longer go to the sea to make a living.

I used to pay special attention to the thorns on the back of Gu Chai but at this time, there were many more changes than before, and there was another layer of vague patterns in the embroidery of the fish and dragon scale clan chasing the sea and waves, and I stared at it for a long time before I saw that there was a mountain peak that had risen to the surface of the sea. In the middle of the mountain, surrounded by a huge pillar that has fallen down, there is a hideous-looking zombie pressed under the pillar, surrounded by human bones, the bottom of the mountain is like a cave criss-crossing coral reefs, among which there seems to be a merman tomb, a few strange dead sharks, and in the depths are coiled dragon bones.

Gu Chai didn't know that there was another layer of dense hidden pictures in his tattoos, and he didn't know what he had to do with this mysterious ruin. His parents died early, and there were probably some secrets of the Tan people that he had not yet had time to tell him. I saw that there was nothing special in the sea thorns, and patted Gu Chai on the shoulder to tell him not to worry: "You kid is back to his hometown." ”

When I finished, I raised my binoculars and looked at the lead-gray peaks of the mountain, which was still hundreds of meters away, and stood out on the undulating water. There are bursts of sea air in the ruins, there are many chaotic air currents and smoke formed by sea vapor in the space, and you can only see a rough outline with a telescope, and there seem to be patches of buildings and monuments scattered on the mountain, among which there seem to be many vague figures.

I looked at it a few times, then handed the binoculars to the fat man and asked him to look at the place too, and it looked very familiar to both of us. More than ten years ago, we saw a ghost market cloth produced by a turtle's sleeping place in the Hundred Eyes Cave between the Mongolian steppe and the desert. If this mountain is not an illusion on the surface of the sea, it is probably very related to our experience a long time ago, and I had a strong premonition that the ancient city I saw in the mirage of the Hundred Eyes Cave is the place I am destined to go in my life, but I can't imagine that it should be today.

At this time, Uncle Ming asked Shirley Yang: "In fact, Miss Yang is the only one in our group who really understands, do you see the tattoo on the back of the egg boy is the chart in the ruins?" We have its guidance...... Will you be able to go home? ”

Rley Yang said: "The outline of the map resembles a giant whale, the terrain in the ruins is very similar, and the peaks floating out of the water are no different from the thorn drawings in the map, but the tattoo is too abstract at most a sign and cannot be seen as an accurate map." And I think...... This is neither a mountain peak nor a relic of an ancient city, but a tomb where the Hate Clan is buried. ”

Uncle Ming was shocked: "Hate the ancient tomb of the Tian Clan? It's too big, what do you mean by the corpses crushed by the pillars and the messy signs at the bottom of the mountain? Will there be dragon remains under the tomb? ”

Rley Yang said to Uncle Ming: "The culture of hating the sky has always been regarded as a country of lost traces in history, the world knows too little about the ancient ruins, we are just guessing now, it is still too early to say anything, it is too early to see the surge in the sea, and then stay on the water, the lifeboat is afraid that it will be revealed by the surge, no matter whether it is fierce or auspicious in front of it, we can only venture in to find out." ”

The fat man and I both agreed, and the chaotic waters of the ruins rose and fell, and at some point the sea would swell and drum. In case the rubber boat is overturned, and someone falls into the water, it is inevitable that they will be fed immediately, and the evil fish will look around, and there is no place to stay, and there is only a temporary shelter from the wind and waves in the monument that hates the heavens. At that moment, everyone picked up the wooden oars and paddled the water and broke the waves to drive the lifeboat forward.

I was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask Shirley Yang on the boat: "Gu Chai's tattoo through the sea is so bizarre, he really became a visitor to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?" ”

Rley Yang speculated: "The Hating Heaven Clan is lonely overseas, smelting copper with dragon fire, far away from the Chinese civilization, so many people don't believe that the bronze civilization here was once prosperous. They probably died out at the end of the Warring States period, and their remnants were exiled to the sea, and were designated as Tanhu by the rulers of the Qin and Han dynasties. Gu Chai is the remnant of the Hate Heaven Clan, and his familiarity with the water nature and the legend of the Hate Heaven Kingdom depicted on the Piercing Sea Array Wen are the best proof of this. ”

In ancient times, there was a hidden image technique in the mountain moving and armor division of the mountain movers, and the secret medicine was pierced on the human skin and soaked in salt water to reveal the hidden image. The Tan people may also have many secret recipes, including the use of special things in the sea as a potion to tattoo their skin, and the ancient secrets of the haters have been preserved from generation to generation in the sea charts. The embroidered tattoo of Ryudo will only reveal the truth if it is soaked in the sea water of the ruins, otherwise outsiders will never know that the legend of the hate of heaven is hidden in the sea array.

In the deep stream at the bottom of the ruins, the hot springs are tumbling and boiling, and there are low-frequency pulses that interfere with the electronic signals, I don't know what shot it out, this chaotic water is not salty or light, probably contains some substances that other seawater does not have, and it should gradually increase with the change of the depth of the seawater, so the shark repellent prepared with the secret recipe is immediately melted away by the sea as soon as it reaches that depth. There is also the drug that seeps into the muscles in the tattoo of Gu Chai at the same time, and at the same time reacts under the water, forming a vague shadow, and then the tattoo hidden in the thorn painting is revealed, but what will be under the ruins? Where is the birth gate?

As he spoke, the lifeboat was already approaching the stone mountain rising above the water, and there were several stone gates in the water more than ten meters in front of him, and the color on the broken stone beams was obviously different, and it was difficult to judge where to enter for a while. I raised my hand to slow down the lifeboat, and at this moment, the light of the yin fire on the whale-bellied rock formation was obscured by the thick sea air, and the yin fire turned bloody, like a stream of blood flowing slowly on the dome, and the water surface was also lined with a dark red.

We looked at the undulating and rocking dinghy all around, and we all had the same feeling, the mysterious terrain in the ruins is more and more like the real whale's belly, the yin fire on the sky seems to be the blood of the giant whale is constantly flowing, the sea of blood in the whale's belly is surging, the sea water is without wind and waves, the lifeboat is like two floating leaves, drifting with the waves, and danger is everywhere.

The fat man grabbed the iron ring that fixed the oars on the boat and shouted: "Commander Hu will be finished if you don't go in again, the rubber boat will be over here, what are you hesitating about?" ”

I turned to everyone in my heart and said, "I see that these stone doors are not so simple, and the different colors seem to be in line with the direction of the five elements, and today's branches are all fire. We fell into the ruins with the sea serpent, and it gave its life at that time, and I think it may be because it was covered with white scales and white that it was a golden elephant, and if it wanted to live, it rowed with me into a cave with a black beam hanging high on the side. ”

The rest of the men agreed, striking the water with a bang, and took advantage of the swelling to steer the dinghy into the hole in the dark red light of the blood-colored firmament. As soon as he entered the half-submerged mountain, the water surged, and the lifeboat immediately stabilized, and Shirley Yang raised his searchlight on the bow of the boat to explore the way, only to see that this lead-gray cave was actually a large hall that had been washed down and soaked by the sea, and that the cave was nothing more than the temple gate.

The structure of the main hall is simple and simple, there is no luxury of the eaves and arches, but the scale is magnificent, the stone material used is extremely huge, the momentum is majestic, and there is quite a bit of "exhaustion of the solemnity of the world" atmosphere. Entering the huge dark and deep space makes people feel particularly uneasy and depressing, and we only see half of the scene in the hall, blue and gloomy, and most of the ancient monuments are submerged under the water. Many of the world's ancient architectural miracles are the products of thousands of years ago, and the pious belief of the ancient people and the tenacity and perseverance of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea are far from comparable to today's people.

We took a lifeboat and drifted into the middle of the main hall with the current, and were amazed by this majestic hall, and marveled at the majesty of thousands of years of vicissitudes. The sea water surged outside the temple, hitting the stone wall, and there was a roaring echo like a sea beast, roaring and thundering, making people tremble and be in danger, even the fat man, who had no heart and lungs, and did not dare to make a sound for a long time at this time.

The searchlights on the two rubber boats swept back and forth on the surrounding water, only to see many tall and mighty bronze statues on the water surface of the temple, all with hideous and ugly faces, staring down and looking solemn. The statues were all bronze, some of them were partially submerged in the water, and many of them had collapsed, leaning sideways and slumping, knocking out some of the walls and stone pillars, but the structure of the main hall was solid, and there was no sign of collapse.

Y Yang once said that a bronze vessel as large as the forging Simu Wuding would almost need to burn hundreds of acres of primeval forest with fuel alone. Resource constraints make bronzes extremely valuable, and are only used in important areas such as religious rituals or warfare and diplomacy. But witnessing the countless bronze statues in this hall, you can imagine that thousands of years ago, the hating heaven clan knew how to master and use the undersea yin fire, they can make bronze without human fire and heavenly fire, and the special level of craftsmanship makes the bronze people soaked in the sea water for thousands of years, but the copper is still not lost, these are unimaginable for later generations.

I sensed that something seemed to be moving on the roof of the temple, so I asked Shirley Young to raise the searchlight at an angle, and everyone gasped when they saw it. There are more than ten bronze heads hung high and low on the pillars of the temple with copper chains, and each bronze person's head is afraid that it is not less than hundreds of catties, then the situation is like being beheaded and hung for public display, and the headless bronze body that has lost its head stands quietly in the corner, what kind of sharp weapon can cut off such a heavy and huge bronze man?

Rley Yang also felt very strange, the tomb that belonged to the Hate Heaven Clan here was only a reasonable speculation, but seeing the bronze man lying upside down and lying in a different place in the hall did not look like an ancient tomb. At this moment, the rubber boat slowly moved forward, and there was a bronze statue leaning on the water, its head leaning on the giant pillar, and the water was not in its shoulder, and Shirley Yang hit the beam of the searchlight and landed on the hideous face of the bronze statue.

When the water level in the ruins is high, the entire mountain will be submerged, and the bronze man will be eroded by the sea for thousands of years, and the small corpses of various reef-loving creatures will be hung everywhere, but the outline of the face is still faintly recognizable. Uncle Ming told Gu Chai: "Egg boy, your ancestors look like this, worship them sincerely and let them bless us to go back safely." Gu Chai was just puzzled, looked at those tall bronze statues, looked very uneasy, and asked Uncle Ming: "Uncle...... My ancestors...... How did all the heads be cut off? ”

Uncle Ming didn't let Gu Chai ask like this, and he really didn't know how to answer, but how good he wanted to be a master was asked by his apprentice, so he had to ask Gu Chai to stop talking nonsense, whether it was fighting and touching gold, or carrying corpses, turning over kilns and pearl diving, fishing for green heads, all these life-threatening businesses have two common taboos, the first is not to be curious, you must pretend not to see strange things, and never ask why.

Gu Chaiqi said: "Why? Ghosts? Uncle Ming was so angry that he patted him on the head: "The decrepit boy also asked for some explanations 1!" Hu Bayi didn't say it a long time ago, you know, what he said is the second taboo, don't mention ghosts! ”

I didn't pay attention to how Uncle Ming passed on his rich experience, but I just wanted to see more clearly, so I continued to row with the fat man, brought the boat closer, and scraped the erosion off the surface with a diving knife, revealing the bronze face with blue fangs. The crowd gathered around with flashlights. The bronze giant's strange appearance makes people look more and more strange, and they can't help but ask: "Who is the Hate Heaven Clan?" And what does the so-called hatred of the sky mean? ”

In the traditional Chinese concept, the north is the greatest, the middle is the right, and the sky is respected, even in ordinary speech, they dare not easily offend God, but the name "hating the sky" completely subverts this concept of respecting the sky as a god, what did the ancestors of the Tan people do? Everyone guessed a few words randomly, but they couldn't get the point.

The fat man said: "I knew that there was a Southern Batian in the South China Sea before, and it seems that it has been wiped out by the Red Women's Army a long time ago." Nanbatian is a landlord class who can't get along with the common people, but I have never heard of anyone who dares to get along with God. Although the Red Guards of that year had the intention to practice with God, they didn't have so many planes to go to the sky, but their ambitions were evidenced by poetry - dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky. ”

I listened to the fat man's words, and then looked at the bronze giant with fangs, and felt that its image was really extraordinary, majestic and dignified, and there seemed to be three points of evil spirit, so I said to everyone: "Comrades, have you ever heard of the legend of God and Satan of foreigners? The Western devil Satan seems to be a professional who has a grudge against God, and the Hate Heaven clan has something to do with Western religious legends? Because in the legend of Chinese civilization, the Lord of Hell and the Lord of the Dragon in the Sea are both leading cadres assigned by the Jade Emperor in the sky to the grassroots level to grasp specific work, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is quite temperary, as if there is no idea of hating the gods in the traditional concept of the Orientals, which is a solid world view formed by tradition. ”

The fat man said: "Hey, Commander Hu, what you said is really reasonable, Satan and the hating of the sky may really be the same thing, I heard that Satan broke with the leader in the sky, and he picked up the flag and led a team to work alone, and he made a mistake with the white-bearded old man in the sky." And you listen to this name - Satan must have something to do with the Tan, and when he was young, he was also a craftsman who picked eggs in the sea. ”

Uncle Ming, Gu Chai and Duoling listened to me and the fat man's specious analysis, they were all a little blind, and they didn't know what to say, only Shirley was still relatively sober and carefully observed around with a searchlight, she suddenly said to me: "Old Hu, you two don't talk nonsense......" Then he raised his hand and pointed to the bronze heads above the main hall: "The mystery of hating the sky is hidden at the level of the bronze giant, do you know that in the West, in addition to the enemy of God...... And vampire zombies who are afraid of the sun in the sky? ”

1 point of explanation: why does Cantonese mean?
