Chapter 18: The Past (3)

Ming Chengzu was about to call someone to rescue him, when he suddenly heard a few loud bangs, and several huge water columns rose into the sky, sending several soldiers flying into the sky.

Immediately after, a large whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the surface of the water, and a huge black shadow slowly surfaced. The soldiers floating on the water let out a frightened cry and struggled desperately to escape the water, but no matter how much they struggled, to no avail, and then one soldier after another was swept into the whirlpool and disappeared in an instant. A large amount of blood kept floating up from underwater, staining this large area of water a blood-red color. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if the sunset in the sky had turned red.

In the astonished gaze of everyone, a huge silver-gray squid tens of meters long surfaced. This huge squid is extremely ferocious, it opens its mouth wide, and its sharp teeth are like guillotines, setting off one bloody storm after another on the surface of the water.

In the peaceful years of the world, there were such demon beasts, which couldn't help but make Ming Chengzu extremely angry, and immediately issued a kill order, ordering the guards to shoot this strange fish with arrows.

Hundreds of archers lined the side of the ship, drew their bows, and shot one sharp arrow after another at the strange fish.

Originally, I thought that the strange fish would be shot into a hedgehog in an instant. What I didn't expect was that the scale armor of the strange fish was extremely hard, and those powerful and fierce arrows could not penetrate the scale armor of the strange fish.

The people's revolt aroused the wrath of the strange fish, and the strange fish poked its huge head out of the water, like a cannonball, and once again violently crashed into a warship more than ten meters away.

I heard a loud bang, and the hard fish head easily pierced through the warship. Hundreds of soldiers fell into the water, blood stained the sky, and the screams were incessant.

In the face of such a demon beast, even Ming Chengzu, who swept through thousands of armies and looked down on the world, did not dare to fight again, hurriedly set sail, and accelerated his escape from this water.

Since then, the squid has been called the "underwater Hades", and the legend of the underwater Hades has not only been spread in the Haihe River Valley, but also recorded in the history books. However, for hundreds of thousands of years, although there has always been a legend of the underwater Hades at the bottom of the Nine Rivers, there are very few people who have actually seen this fierce beast, and the underwater Hades has gradually become one of the most mysterious creatures in the Haihe River.

Of course, not to mention the underwater Hades with a body size of up to 20 zhang, even if it is an ordinary squid, it is almost difficult to see it in the Yangtze River basin. No one can verify how the legendary underwater Hades appeared in Tianjinwei, people only know that the underwater Hades in the lower tips of the Nine Rivers are the fish that has become a fine.

"I've been walking on the Haihe River for decades, and this is the first time I've seen an underwater Hades, and my knees went so weak that I almost knelt down on that big guy. Our little boat was so small, and with the surging waves, it was impossible to get out of it.

You should also be panicked at the time, and you actually found a long-pole shotgun from below deck. The underwater Hades couldn't deal with a shotgun, and it was too late for me to stop you, so he rushed to the stern of the boat and pulled the trigger on the thing.

I'll tell your grandfather to stop shooting, because instead of hurting the underwater Hades, it's going to anger him. But your grandfather said that he couldn't sit still, so he gambled and didn't listen to my advice at all.

The iron sand hit the big guy like it tickled, and with the power of a shotgun, it couldn't penetrate the thick layer of scale armor on the underwater Hades. Faced with the scattered iron sand in the sky, it was finally enraged, and with a flick of its giant tail, its big, hard head slammed into the stern of the ship fiercely.

Where could the Upong boat withstand such a violent collision, the stern of the boat instantly turned into pieces, and your grandfather fell into the water with it. Before he could poke his head out of the water, the underwater Hades opened its mouth, and the water around it poured into its mouth with a clatter. At that time, I watched your grandfather being sucked into the stomach by the underwater Hades, but there was nothing I could do.

Maybe it was because I didn't deserve to die, but the underwater Hades did not continue to attack me, but slowly sank to the bottom of the river, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Strange to say, when the underwater Hades disappeared, the rain in the sky suddenly stopped.

The wind tore the clouds into pieces, and the bright sunlight pierced through the cracks and fell on the water. The waves no longer rolled, the rivers no longer roared, and everything became peaceful and beautiful again.

The stern of the Upong boat was badly damaged, and a large amount of river water poured into the cabin.

In desperation, I had to give up the boat, put on a lifebuoy and jump into the Yellow River, drifting all the way down the river. I don't know how long I drifted, but a passing fishing boat rescued me. I escaped and returned to the city, and your grandfather was eventually found and rescued by some fishermen, who broke his leg in order to escape, and if it weren't for that, how could he have ended up with a tragic death.

Speaking of this, the fourth grandfather put down the old cigarette stick, and his old face was already covered with tears.

I held the fourth grandfather's hand tightly and did not speak.

Grandpa's story is thrilling, for so many years, I have not known why my grandfather died, when I was a child, I would often ask my mother, but my mother was silent every time, and did not answer my questions. Today, I know that there are so many stories behind my grandfather's death.

After a moment of silence, the fourth grandfather said with a gloomy expression: "Maybe I'm really a disaster star, and the fourth grandfather is blamed for not being good." ”

"Fourth grandfather, don't say that! Some things are destined to fall on us, we can't hide if we want to, this is our fate. With that, I picked up the cup.

The fourth grandfather wiped a handful of tears, and showed a determined look on his face: "Well said, face it bravely!" Mo San, since you have already decided, the fourth grandfather will not say much, I only have one request, if there is anything in the future, you must tell me, I promised your grandfather to take care of the descendants of the Hou Qin family, and I can't let me, a bad old man, be scolded by your grandfather when he goes to Jiuquan. ”

Listening to the words of the fourth grandfather, my heart was sour, and I nodded heavily with red eyes.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, just when I thought that this matter was completely hopeless, even Mingche came with the news, saying that someone had reported the crime, and there were always cries at night in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs, so we immediately decided to go and check it out, and after gathering at the public security bureau, I was surprised to find that the black sunglasses were also there, but the time was urgent, and I didn't ask much.

When the group arrived at the suburbs and rented a big boat, they began to move to the place where the informant said, and the time passed quickly, and as the big ship accelerated, it was dark, and when they looked up at the outside of the cabin, they saw that our ship had entered a cave in the mountains.

Not far ahead, a dark cave appeared again, but this cave was several times larger than the one outside, and even a thousand-ton freighter could easily enter it.

Only then did we discover that the cave in the belly of the mountain turned out to be a gourd shape. Outside was a narrow entrance, inside there were two sets of holes, one large and one small, and now our ship passed through the first smaller cave and slowly sailed into the second, larger cave.

This topographic structure is known in Feng Shui as the "Horn Mouth", and it is a large auspicious cave. If a mausoleum is built on this feng shui hole, it will be able to protect the blessings of future generations.

Recently, I have been reading the "Evil Soldier Spectrum" a lot, and I have a lot of knowledge about Feng Shui in my head, and now when I see such a terrain structure, I naturally think of the Eight Immortal Gourd.

The cave inside was so huge that you couldn't see the top of the cave when you looked up, as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and it was scary. The top of the cave was so dark that even a searchlight could not penetrate the darkness, only a vague light.

The cave is even colder, and the walls of the cave are covered with a thin layer of frost, making it look like a giant refrigerated cabinet, and we are like frozen pork in the refrigerated cabinet.

What we never dreamed of was that there was a tall platform in the deepest part of this cave, and a magnificent and majestic fishbone temple stood on the platform. Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God! Look, that's the Fishbone Temple! How could a fishbone temple be built here? ”

Oh, yes! This is also a deep question in my heart, how can such a magnificent fishbone temple appear in this extremely hidden water cave that does not see the light of day? Who built this fishbone temple? What is the purpose of building this fishbone temple?

We looked at the fishbone temple not far ahead, speechless in astonishment.

The fishbone temple is said to be built with the bones of a big fish, it is a special temple worshiped by fishermen, and the fishbone temple is also dedicated to the dragon king like the dragon king temple. There is no way to verify the age when the fishbone temple was built. However, according to the stone tablet in the original temple, the "Fish Bone Temple" already existed in the Sui Dynasty, so the history of the Fish Bone Temple is at least 1,400 years.

To this day, there are actually such fishbone temples in many places. These fishbone temples are usually built by the river or sea, and people burn incense and worship in the temples to bless the wind and rain and the safety of the boat. Because the fish bones used to build temples are very rare, many fish bone temples are not built with real fish bones, although they bear this title.

But the fishbone temple we see in the cave at this moment is a real fishbone temple. This fishbone temple stands on a platform that is more than three feet high.
