Chapter 20: Ancient Legends
Ding Xiaocong turned his head to look, and it was a young man who was talking, smiling at him. This person is about 20 years old, wearing a black dress, born black and thin, but he is not weak at all, and he gives people the feeling of one word - hard!
Seeing Ding Xiaocong looking over, the man smiled slightly, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and nodded.
Ding Xiaocong is a little strange, most people are afraid of his sister Xiaolan, why does this man turn a blind eye?
Before he could ask, the ship's loudspeaker began to broadcast again - the Phoenix cruise ship was about to enter the locks, and the passengers were asked to return to their cabins immediately to avoid danger.
There were sailors and waiters who came up to catch people, and the tourists had to walk back to the cabin one after another, Ding Xiaocong turned around and was about to go back, when the "black man" suddenly asked, "Little brother, can you tell me your name?" ”
Ding Xiaocong didn't understand what this person meant, but he still replied casually: "My name is shallot, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Knife." The man smiled softly, turned and walked away.
"Knives?" Ding Xiaocong was inexplicable, and muttered to his cabin.
In the box, the three had already returned, and they were talking excitedly with each other, especially Hua Hongying, who was talking about her first experience of coming down by boat.
At that time, there was no mountain gorge dam, and after passing here, it was the famous mountain gorge scenic spot. The mountain gorge scenic spot in those years is completely different from now, all of them are high mountains and deep gorges, the water flow is turbulent and steep, there are many ships wrecked here every year, now you only need to take the lock to go up, and there is a large section of passage ahead.
In ancient times, Yu controlled the water, once dredged the river in this area, but with the manpower and material resources at that time, can do extremely limited, the waterways here are still disasters, after the completion of the mountain gorge dam, thousands of years of floods were finally swept away.
Ding Xiaocong didn't participate in the discussion, he took out the phone and dialed Zhou Tong's number, and Zhou Tong's eager voice immediately came from the other end, "Hey, it's Master Ding, right?" Come on, there's something going on here! ”
Ding Xiaocong was stunned when he heard this, and quickly changed to hands-free mode and asked what happened over there.
The three people who were chatting were attracted and all stopped talking and listened attentively.
At this moment, there was a "whooshing" sound of water outside the window, which was earth-shattering, and I couldn't hear what was said on the phone at all, and the Phoenix had already driven under the mountain gorge dam and was about to enter the lock.
The box door was pushed open, and a young waitress barged in, shouting, "Can't hear the radio?" Close the windows! ”
They all know this waitress Ding Xiaocong, and they have often seen it in the past few days, a typical Sichuan girl, with a pungent style and a loud voice, seeing several tourists nesting together in a daze, she walked quickly to the window, and with a hard support, the window was closed tightly.
As soon as the window was closed, the noise outside suddenly became much quieter, and the content on the phone could be heard clearly, only to hear Zhou Tong shouting at the other end: "That's the thing, anyway, come on......"
There was a "beep" sound on the phone, and it had already hung up, Ding Xiaocong was simply stunned, what was it like?
He was about to dial the phone back again, when the waitress raised her hand and called him, "The signal is blocked, no calls are allowed here!" ”
Definitely, Ding Xiaocong had to put away his mobile phone.
Outside the window, the cruise ship has entered the huge lock, the inside began to fill with water, the boat is slowly raised, and finally will be level with the reservoir, and then drive upstream, this process is like a cruise ship taking an elevator, the drop is more than 100 meters!
"Forget it, it's going to come anyway, and when the time comes, I'll know what's going on, and it's useless to be anxious now." Guo Yunxiang said.
Ding Xiaocong thought about it, and this was indeed the case, even if he knew the situation now, he couldn't fly over, so he didn't have to wait slowly. Besides, what big deal can happen in the peaceful and prosperous world of Lang Lang Qiankun, eighty percent of it is Zhou Tong's alarmist words.
After some waiting, the boat unconsciously rose to the top of the dam, the gate opened, and the huge cruise ship was like a small bird, driving away from the lock and entering the Three Gorges Reservoir. From here, after a few dozen kilometers of continuous westward, the cruise ship will once again enter the C-River channel, which is also known as the mountain gorge.
The mountain gorge is composed of three sections in total, namely Zhaitang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge, which is the most famous landscape gallery in our country, with beautiful scenery all the way, picturesque mountains and rivers. Of course, this refers to the old mountain gorge, since the completion of the mountain gorge dam, the wonder here is no more, the landscape is greatly lost, and can only linger in the scenery magazine.
But despite this, the green mountains and green waters on both sides of the strait still make the three teenagers drunk, only Hua Hongying sighed all the way, "The wonderful scenery of the past can no longer be seen." ”
This is quite unpleasant, and no one pays attention to him.
Another day passed, the cruise ship drove out of the sphere of influence of the Shanxia Dam and entered Wuxia, and the river began to become turbulent and narrow. Ding Xiaocong lives by the C River, where the river is more than a kilometer wide, but it is only about 300 meters here, and the turbulence of the water can be imagined.
On this morning, Ding Xiaocong had just woken up in a daze, and the familiar soprano voice came from the ship's loudspeaker - the front will pass Qinglongzhu, please stay in the cabin, don't move around, Phoenix wishes you a happy journey.
Ding Xiaocong leaned on the porthole and looked out, only to see the river surging, surging and rushing, and his eyes were full of white waves.
Hua Hongying also came over to take a look, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect to see Qinglong Zhu again!" ”
"What is the Blue Dragon Nagisara?" Ding Xiaocong asked.
The two girls also came from the top bunk, Guo Yunxiang knocked on Ding Xiaocong's head, "Don't learn no skills, here is called the first danger of the C River, according to legend, Dayu in the year of the water, drove the seat of Ying Long to open the mountain, split this section of the river, and later that Ying Long because of mistakes, was imprisoned by Dayu at the bottom of this section of the river, and turned into stone for a long time, this is the origin of Qinglong Zhu." ”
"Miss Guo is so knowledgeable!" Hua Hongying exclaimed, then pointed ahead and shouted, "Look, it's this green dragon!" ”
Due to the poor angle, Ding Xiaocong simply stuck his head out of the porthole and looked forward, and sure enough, there was a green dragon looming under the turbulent river, meandering forward in the middle of the waterway, and he didn't know how long.
An unimaginable wonder suddenly appeared in front of him, and Ding Xiaocong's heart immediately beat faster, my God, this thing shouldn't really be a dragon! Is the legend true?
From this point of view, the torrent is surging, and the underwater Qinglong Zhu is only two or three meters from the water surface, as if it is really alive, fighting the wind and waves upstream, and the whole river is stirred up by this dragon, and the picture is thrilling!
