146. Tomb of the concubine
I stood at the bow of the boat and looked over, only to see the overcast water of the Yin River, which was as gloomy as the stagnant water, and at a glance, there were countless black islands and reefs, not counting the islands and reefs hidden in the mist, which we had not yet seen.
The islands and reefs are large and small, the small ones are no more than the size of private houses, and the big ones are like the small hills of Tower Mountain.
These islands and reefs are densely packed, and I feel a little hairy when I see them.
The captain of the fish monster said that there were too many reefs on this Bengzhu Reef Island, and the hull of this Gufu ship was too large and the draft was too deep to enter it.
Next, we can only take our own ghost boat to find the floating mountain, and they will lower the anchor and wait for us here.
The four of us packed up our gear, jumped from the stern to our ghost boat, and then untied the cable attached to the Gufu boat and headed for the depths of Bengzhu Reef.
I looked up at the sky and felt that the light was a little dimmer than when we first drove into the Yin River.
Xiao Xiyue took out the fluorescent stone in her backpack, identified the time, and said that it was indeed night.
The Yin River is just a river located underground, not another world, the sun on the ground sets, and the scene of the underground Yin River naturally becomes darker.
Nameless let us be more careful, the Yin River at night is more dangerous, but it is also more conducive to us to catch the clam essence.
Although there are many records about the mussel pearl, few people can catch this kind of spiritual creature, and no one has seen it for more than a thousand years, and I don't know what its habits are.
But Nameless, an old monster who has lived for more than a thousand years, naturally knows everything.
At this time, Wu Zixuan interjected and said that as a native of Jinsha Town, who lives around the river, he eats a lot of things like river mussels, which are braised and steamed.
However, the mussel is indeed a wonderful aquarium creature, when the mussel is not opened, it is equivalent to a stone, and when the mussel mouth is opened, there is fresh meat and pearls hidden inside.
And this creature is not too aggressive, so it is naturally the target of people's crazy predation.
However, the old man in Jinsha always warned the young fishermen that the mussels seemed stupid, but in fact they were the most evil aquatic creatures, and that if they caught a river mussel as big as a stone mill, they must not be slaughtered, but released, otherwise they would be wiped out.
However, Wu Zixuan has never seen a river mussel as big as a stone mill, the only time, at the mouth of the dam, I saw someone salvage a river mussel slightly smaller than the stone mill, the mussel shell is brightly colored, extremely gorgeous.
Onlookers all said, how can an ordinary river mussel grow so big? This is a mussel that has become a fine man, and it must be released as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster to Jinsha Town.
At that time, Wu Zixuan's middle school geography teacher was also in the crowd, and the mean reader immediately lifted his glasses and opened his mouth to spit at the mouth: "You superstitious stupid donkeys!" Mussel you fuck cum! This is a clams in the sea! I don't know what happened, I was washed into this dam mouth, probably from the sea into the river, and then drifted to this dam mouth. ”
Later, it was confirmed that it was indeed a clams, but after prying it open, there were no pearls in it, and finally it was killed and eaten by the people of Jinsha Town, and no one was retributed.
Nameless sneered, saying that clam and clam essence are not the same thing, and the clam essence of a hundred years of Taoism is ten times larger than that of clams.
If the people of Jinsha Town that day salvaged not the clams, but the mussel essence, before they pry open the mussel mouth, they will be confused by the mussel essence who is good at illusion and confusion, and a piece of it jumped into the water and died.
And the cultivation method of the clam essence is also different from other water tribes, the clam essence is greedy for the yin qi in the water, and uses the yin essence qi in the yin river to exhale the form and refine.
But if there is only yin qi and no spiritual energy, it is impossible for spirits to cultivate and attain the Tao, because they must have the so-called "inner dan".
Down to the cow has a bezoar, the dog has a dog treasure, and the fox has a demon tendon.
When they went up to Feng Chuan, their group of black-scaled water Jiao also needed to cultivate reverse scales.
When the mussel spirit is transformed into a human form, it needs a jewel, but as I said before, there is only yin qi in the Yin River, and there is no spiritual energy, so it is impossible to give birth to a dragon containing a jewel.
Therefore, every night, the mussel spirit will surface, open the mussel mouth to the bright moon, spit out the pearl to the moon, and cultivate the dragon containing the orb.
It's night, and it's the best time for us to catch the clam spirit later.
As for the method of catching the clam essence, Nameless suddenly stopped talking, and then smiled evilly.
"Now I won't tell you first, lest you be afraid, but you can't hide from being afraid, wait a while for the three of you to guess the boxing, and the unlucky people don't complain." Nameless said.
At this time, Wu Zixuan also greeted him, saying that he found that there was a building on an island and reef in front of him.
Nameless and I walked to the bow of the boat, and saw that it was a large hall made of white stone, built against the mountain.
When our ship got closer, we saw that the stone hall was actually all made of mussel shell snail armor, and even the island and reef itself were purely a mussel shell mountain.
And among the snail shells that were flooded by the river for most of the time, and the uneven walls of the hall were many leather lamps made by dead mermaids.
"The mussel essence spits beads, the merman weeps beads, these two aquariums have always been neighbors, and this Bengzhu Reef Island must also be indispensable to the existence of the merman." Nameless said.
I shrugged my shoulders, the merman is quite a mysterious creature, in the "Narrative of Differences", the merman is called "Quanke", the legend is that the merman is good at weaving, can make a dragon silk that is not wet in the water, and tears into beads.
"Taiping Yulan" has an allusion record of the merman's weeping beads, saying that there is a kind of mermaid in the South China Sea who plays out of the water, lives in people's houses for many days, sees that the rice tank is empty, the master is going to sell silk yarn, the mermaid asks the master for a vessel, and the tears of crying become beads to fill a plate to give to the master.
"It sounds evil and exaggerated, but in reality, the mermaids are likely to be the same as the Yakshas, just a kind of alien humans in ancient times, and it is recorded in the classics that they are good at weaving, and their tears are beads, it is likely that their physique is special, and the tears are similar to special chemical minerals such as Bai Gong, which will crystallize immediately after contact with the air." Wu Zixuan said.
I agree, as recorded in detail in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Southern Classic of the Sea, the mermaids are the inhabitants of the Diren country and the descendants of Emperor Yan.
The merman's oil is also a treasure, and a drop can burn for days without extinguishing. Legend has it that in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, there is an ever-bright lantern made of mermaid oil, and I think it is probably because the merman is a valuable thing that it will be almost extinct.
And on the mussel shell mountain in front of us, there is also a leather lamp made by the dead merman, and we will go up to take a closer look at it later, and it is best to find clues about the floating mountain, otherwise we will be so rambling and have been looking blindly, I don't know when to find it.
We parked the ghost boat at the edge of Beng Shell Mountain, put down the anchor, and then went ashore and walked into the main hall of Beng Shell Mountain.
At this time, Xiao Xiyue was in the center of the main hall and found a copper plate and beckoned us to take a look.
We walked up to the copper plate and reached out to stroke away the fine mussel shells and mud and sand on it, and we could see that the copper plate was carved with many naked female figures, all of which were frolicking and swimming in the sea, and their postures were enchanting.
"Wow! This is the female merman? It's really beautiful, it's really the same as a mermaid. Wu Zixuan said with a pig-like face.
At this time, I found that there were two copper rings on the copper plate, and it seemed that this was a lid that could be removed, and I don't know what it contained.
"What kind of treasure should it be." Wu Zixuan said.
I shook my head, saying that it was impossible, if it was really a treasure, I had a turtle treasure in my body, and I could immediately see it with my treasure eyes.
"Just open it and see." Nameless said.
But I vaguely felt that the things inside the copper plate were a little dangerous, so I didn't let them rashly uncover the copper plate, and together with Wu Zixuan, cleaned up the remains of the snail mussels around and exposed them as a whole.
Only then did we find out that this was a pair of green snail shells as large as a water tank, and the screw mouth was sealed by the copper plate.
Moreover, what is surprising is that the texture on the snail nail is completely the appearance of a woman, with complete hands and feet, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and beautiful eyebrows.
"This is what the mussel spirit looks like? Seriously...... It's pretty. I said.
"And what's in this green snail carapace?" Xiao Xiyue asked.
"It should be a corpse." Nameless said.
"Huh?" Xiao Xiyue and I both looked at Nameless in surprise.
"This green snail carapace is a coffin, which is the burial method of the water tribe, and the number of green snail carapace is used to bury the concubine of the dragon lord, this mussel shell mountain, it should be the tomb of a concubine of the dragon lord." Nameless said.
As soon as I finished saying these words, I watched Wu Zixuan's whole body collapse. ()
