Chapter 42: Qianyu Lake

"Uncle Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the tears in Professor Xia's eyes, I was concerned about him.

"It's okay," Professor Xia said as he took a deep breath and waved at me.

"Yes, Uncle Xia," I looked at him, "and there is a hint of mystery in the silence of the flowers, the singing of birds. I guess there's a potential danger here. ”

"Eh, Sen, don't scare yourself, I think it's peaceful all around, if it weren't for the danger lurking, the possibility of the bottom of the lake would be greater!" Professor Xia said, and turned his head to look at the lake.

As to whether this is an underground river or an underground lake, from my current observations, it is an underground lake, and it is not artificially excavated.

In other words, the space here is natural, and this underground palace has the meaning of doves occupying magpies' nests.

I also immediately looked at the surface of the lake and talked to him: "Uncle Xia, there is indeed a very strange thing at the bottom of this lake, with your current ability and lack of equipment, it is obviously unrealistic to want to go down and find out." ”

"Hey," Professor Xia sighed heavily, "Sen, if Lingxin is down there, even if it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, I'll have to break through - but, guess where Lingxin went?" ”

"I don't know," I said, shaking my head, "maybe she's not here at all." ”

"Will she be in danger then?" Professor Xia said nervously.

"No, Lingxin has a strong sense of crisis, and she's so smart," I looked at Professor Xia, "this is completely inherited from your merits, don't worry, she's fine." ”

"Oh, I hope," Professor Xia silently lowered his head and muttered, "but I'm still very worried about her!" It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Professor Xia's mood became unstable.

Even though I learned divination with my father, I can't capture the good and evil of Lingxin, because her presence can disturb my mind.

It is not so much to comfort Professor Xia, but to inject a dose of reassuring liquid into himself, and I also deeply understand Professor Xia's eagerness.

.......

"Mori, look! Our clothes are dry, come and give! Professor Xia took off the clothes from the railing of the pavilion and handed them to me.

Even though he and I "met sincerely", he didn't shy away from it at all, but I was a little embarrassed by it.

"And where do we go next?" I got dressed and talked to him about what we were going to do for a while.

"Let's look at the surrounding situation along the coast," Professor Xia thought for a moment, "maybe we can find a way!" ”

"All right," I replied, "then let's go." ”

As I left the pavilion, I looked at the surface of the lake, and there was a strange ripple of water, which did not look like it was blown by the wind, but more like something was surging at the bottom of the water.

"Let's go, Sen. What else are you looking at? Professor Xia realized that I hadn't followed, so he called me back.

"Well, here we go!" I hurriedly answered.

Just as I turned to look at the lake again, the strange ripples of water were gone, and the surface of the lake was just a few microwaves stirred by the breeze.

"It's weird." I muttered quietly.

"What's weird?" My whispering was actually heard by Professor Xia, and his question made me think that the wind here has a sound amplification function.

"No," I walked up to him, "Uncle Xia, you see, the buildings on this shore, they are typical Qin palace structures, but they have been much smaller according to the proportions. ”

Professor Xia listened to my words, looked at it carefully, turned around and said to me: "Sen, if you don't say it, I have ignored this point, this is simply a palace complex. ”

"Well, it seems to be just a model," I continued, "and their proportions may be due to the spatial constraints of this place, and if this is a little larger, this may be a royal city." ”

"Look, there's a monument over there!" Professor Xia pointed out his findings to me and hurriedly ran over.

"Uncle Xia, what's written on it?" I ran after him, gasping for air.

"It's Qianyu Lake!" Professor Xia said, pushing aside the weeds around it.

"Qianyu Lake?" I was amazed, "This is the legendary Qianyu Lake." ”

"Sen, you know it?" Professor Xia's puzzled eyes revealed infinite curiosity.

"Yes, Uncle Xia." I told him, "It's just a legend, I can't imagine that it really exists in time." ”

"Sen, you might as well tell me what it is." Professor Xia was skeptical.

"Well, it's one of the most amazing lakes I've ever known." I pave the way for the legend I am about to tell.

As the name suggests, "Qianyu Lake" has the meaning of Zhong Lingyuxiu, and it has a special magic.

It is rumored that thousands of years ago, there was a special group of people in the world, who were called the Youying Clan.

This people are well versed in astronomy and geography, and the sun and moon rise and fall, and the tide rises and falls. Of course, whether they have such magical abilities or not, the world is just guessing.

We are still inconclusive about the Youying Clan, but the magic of Qianyu Lake is confusing.

"Qianyu Lake" is said to be the Youying people take a place called "Wanxia" desert water convergence formed, lasted for thousands of years.

"Thousands of years!" Professor Xia interrupted me in surprise.

"That's according to legend," I nodded, "maybe the quality is guaranteed!" Then I laughed.

"Millennium? Or go to the desert to collect water and collect sinks, what do the people think? "Professor Xia's doubts are also what I have been puzzled about for a long time.

"It is said that the water in that desert contains a special class of minerals...... "I said, pausing and looking at him, "a class of minerals that have not yet been explored on Earth, and which keep cells alive forever." ”

"That is, it has the effect of immortality and resurrection from the dead?" Professor Xia speculated.

"Well," I said, nodding, "but you also noticed that we had just come out of the lake, and we didn't notice any difference between it and the rest of the water." ”

My words put Professor Xia in a predicament again, and he seemed to be reasoning many times in his mind.

"Could it be that," Professor Xia suddenly raised his voice, "that lake is hidden at the bottom of this lake, and the lake we see now is just ordinary groundwater. ”

"You mean, it's layered like a cocktail!" I was amazed at what he envisioned.

The first thing that comes to mind is that it is very difficult to find underground water sources in the desert without digging hundreds of feet into the ground, and it is even more difficult to find water sources that really contain special minerals.

In this way, I think that the people of that tribe have come back from thousands of miles to bring water back from there, just to build a lake, or that kind of endless children and grandchildren, what is their meaning?

"Sen, that's not wrong with your understanding!" Professor Xia nodded and gestured to me.

"Hey, the text on this is obviously not Qin Shi, could it be said," I suddenly felt a chill behind me, "This is Youyingwen!" ”

As soon as I said this, the professor looked at me in amazement, and we looked at each other.

"Do you know this kind of writing?" Immediately, I raised my question and confirmed it with him.

"Hmm," Professor Xia nodded nervously, "I understand." ”

......

Subsequentlyβ€”

When Professor Xia reached out to touch the words on the stone tablet, the buildings we faced were shrouded in a white mist, quite a "how many buildings are in the smoke and rain".
