Chapter 46: The Fish King
The doctor was pulled up to us by the sick beauty, and I looked at it and wondered. Why did the sick beauty save him? Didn't Aunt Bing's message say, 'Lu Yu Doctor killed her?' ’
In fact, this doctor's is secondary, and the group of floating corpses on the side that have been netted into fishing nets by sick beauties does not pose a threat to us, but a huge black shadow below makes me feel like a thorn in my back.
I gestured to the monk and asked him to take a look at the gun. He made an OK gesture, but fortunately he was a monk, and he seemed to be too lazy to take care of me if he was someone else. The monk looked serious, and went up with a searchlight and a gun on his shoulder.
After a few moments of illumination, I saw a large black head appear in front of the halo. The monk was suddenly frightened enough, and he was about to shoot when he fired. Suddenly, he found that the shotgun could not shoot at all under the water, and as soon as he pulled the trigger, the barrel gurgled and blistered. The monster in the light moved violently. A pair of lantern-like eyes seemed to open from the darkness.
With those lantern-like eyes, the monster's face gradually cleared. I was stunned, and I looked at it squarely, this thing is a super big fish? The monk shone back and forth with a searchlight, and threw away the forced photograph that was almost reimbursed.
I looked at the huge fish head. Thinking of the legend about Fuxian Lake, in the summer and autumn of each year, you can see about one or two hundred acres of water surface in the southeast and southeast waters of Gushan, and you will find a large area of big mackerel under black pressure, swimming around, like a square party; At one point, several columns will move slowly in a certain direction, as if they are marching. There are big fish in front, and the fish hug each other, like an emperor going out on patrol. Legend has it that when the fish king went out to play, he accidentally got into the big lonely mountain and couldn't come out, and the fish crashed into the lonely mountain together to save the fish king, and failed to knock down the big lonely mountain that trapped the fish king, but hit the small lonely mountain, and since then, the fish have come to the big lonely mountain every year to worship the fish king.
That huge fish head doesn't seem to continue rushing towards our consciousness in the dark! Could it be that this fish king is stuck in some stone cave like the legend? Never be able to swim out of this water?
But how did this king of fish survive here with such a huge size? What does it eat underwater? Don't! Suddenly a thought crossed my mind. His eyes involuntarily looked at the floating corpses that were tied into zongzi by the sick beauty. Could it be that the king of fish survived because he fed on human flesh?
I was taken aback by my own thoughts, and suddenly remembered a legend in Burma, located in the Shan State in eastern Burma. Located in the Golden Triangle, bordered by China, Thailand and Laos, it is the largest and most populous state city in the Union of Myanmar. Historically, Shan State was once a territory under the jurisdiction of Tusi, was occupied by the British during the war era, and was incorporated by Myanmar after independence. Among the tribes of Shan State, there used to be an ancient custom of water burial.
Water burial is one of the oldest burial methods in the world, and water burial in Shan State in Myanmar is different from water burial of floating corpses in other places. When a relative dies, the family places the body in a coffin with a small hole in it and sinks into the lake.
However, water burials in Shan State are somewhat different, generally floating away, and descendants worship by the water in the coming year. However, their water burial is different, and after a few months of water burial, the family will fish out the coffin from the water, and at this time, the body inside has been gnawed into a skeleton by the fish, and the fish has grown up
They threw the bones into the water and slaughtered the "fat" fish to make soup. It is said that the fish raised in this way were very "delicious" and were very popular with people at the time.
The thought really scared me. Could it be that the fish in this Fuxian Lake all grew up eating human flesh, so they are relatively large!? If that's the case, if people find out about this secret, then who will dare to eat the fish here?
A few of us were stunned in the water for a while, but the situation was very bad at the moment, the oxygen in our bodies could not support it for long, and the hole above suddenly disappeared, which was equivalent to a death sentence for us.
Mortal Situation! Now I was a little panicked, if I went up from the new point to find the hole that came down, it would be impossible! There was no way back at all, and I wondered if I wanted to give it a go. It is said that under Fuxian Lake is the ancient city of Yuyuan, which has been sunk underwater for thousands of years, and I don't know if there is oxygen? There is also a legend that the king of fish was stuck in countless caves under the water of Fuxian Lake and could not get out of it. I don't know if there's oxygen under the cave?
I gestured to my companion, and the sick beauty and the monk looked at me without speaking, and nodded silently. The doctor who suddenly appeared next to him didn't seem to understand what was going on, and looked a little confused.
We dive down, getting closer and closer to the giant fish's head! It's just too big to see this fish up close. The heart said that this is going to be a pot of 'chopped pepper fish head' that can be eaten for a year, right!?
Slowly dived vigilantly and kept a distance of ten meters from the huge fish head, and estimated that this fish king was stuck in the underwater cave, it should be hundreds of thousands of years, and it should not be able to come out for a while.
Suddenly, a huge stream of water drove the surrounding mist to surge. The big fish shook its head slightly and snorted. Suddenly, the bottom of the water became turbid, and suddenly it was turbid with the surroundings, and I couldn't see my fingers at all.
At this moment, I felt a sharp pain in my thigh. Then a huge force kicked me in the head. I couldn't hold my breath in the first place, and I almost got out of breath after a few choked throats this time. I struggled in the water, and I was trampled to the bottom. In the confusion, I saw a white robe out of the corner of my eye. Suddenly, I realized that the person who had just attacked me was wearing a white outfit.
Sick beauties are certainly impossible! White robe? White coats? The doctor just now?
Under the huge pain in his thigh, he couldn't move at all, and he fell towards the bottom of the pool. It wasn't until I fell to the underground mountain wall that I found a deep knife wound on my thigh. It looked like a wound that had been pierced by an extremely sharp scalpel.
Lying on the black mountain wall at the bottom of the lake, not far from me were the scales of the king fish that swayed back and forth the size of a window. The situation was very bad, and the monk and the sick beauty certainly didn't notice that I had been attacked in the muddy water. I couldn't tell them in the water, and I'm afraid I'm dead.
I clutched my thighs, which were almost cold. Blood was pouring from between my fingers. The swelling pain in my abdomen told me that I had reached the limit of my breath holding, and that I was suffering from the injury in my thigh. There has never been a time of despair since the launch!
Rustling......
It seemed like something strange was moving around me. If you look closely, you can see that it is a strange creature, with a body like a flat lobster and a centipede, and its feet and feet are as dense as spiders in the water. The shape is a bit like that of a Chinese horseshoe crab!
I looked closely at this creature and remembered that Baozi had explained to me about the ancient creatures of Yunnan before this. This thing seems to be a 'Fuxian Lake insect', and it is said that there are fossils of this creature in Cheng ****. This bug is an early Cambrian marine creature. It belongs to the more primitive type of true arthropods, the adult body is 10 cm long, there are 31 segments, the exoskeleton is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen, and the number of dorsal and ventral segments is inconsistent, similar to the Devonian straight shrimp fossils, and the straight shrimp is the ancestor of modern insects, which indirectly indicates that the Fuxian Lake insect is the distant ancestor of insects. The digestive tract of the Fuxian Lake insect is filled with sediment, which indicates that it is a mud-eating animal.
Fuxian Lake insect fossils are widely distributed and are located near Maotian Mountain, 6 kilometers east of Chengjiang County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province. It is 56 kilometers away from Kunming City and 87 kilometers away from Yuxi City. The Maotian Mountain fossil belt is 20 kilometers long and 4.5 kilometers wide, and the burial depth is more than 50 meters. Legend has it that this early sea creature was extinct a long time ago!
