Volume 2 The Lost Lost City Chapter 173 The Fish King Iron Head
He realized that in the depths of this bronze pillar there might well be a people he did not know. So he didn't dare to go any further, so he left here.
Therefore, even the old monk knows not much more about this place than we do.
We were all shocked by what the old monk said. It is unimaginable that there is still life at the bottom of this bronze pillar. And it's a human-like life form.
The words of the old monk have many suspicious points, and the credibility is not high, and it is likely to be a myth and legend, which has been gradually exaggerated in the process of dissemination.
However, there is no wind and no waves, and there must have been a certain background to this set of statements when it was first reported.
I discussed with Kaixiao whether I wanted to go down to the bottom of this copper pillar and see what it was at the bottom of the copper pillar.
But then we gave up, because the old monk told me that he also tried to go to the bottom of the pillar, but every time he got to a certain position, his heart would suddenly speed up, and the pillar would beat at the same frequency as his heartbeat.
Every time, I will faint in pain, and when I wake up, I will appear at the top of the copper pillar.
Now is not the time to investigate this, so we have to abandon this plan.
We continued to stay in the mountains for a few more days, making sure that Xia Luan's people really left, and then we climbed out of the cave.
Before leaving, I took a copper rod from the bronze pillar, because the old monk told me that there was some mysterious power on this bronze pillar, which could temporarily suppress the breath on my body and not be followed by Xia Luan.
However, he was still not at ease, and said that no matter when, I must be in his sight at any time. If I sneak that strange gesture again, he'll knock me unconscious.
Although I was a little reluctant, I decided to do so in order to avoid revealing our position to Xia Luan again.
We then snuck into the village, which was quite close to here, and settled down for a while, ready to take a closer look at the bird-shaped clay pot to see what was so strange about it.
My first thought was to study the inscriptions, which must contain a lot of information.
However, the three of us were not familiar with the Warring States period, and we didn't come up with a clue after studying for a few days, so we had no choice but to rub the inscription down and go to the museum to let the museum's full-time staff study it.
Unexpectedly, the museum staff said that this is not a Warring States script at all, or even a script of any dynasty, and said that we are not playing with him?
I was speechless for a moment, and said in my heart that this guy was bought with money, isn't this a Warring States script?
The research work was at an impasse for a while, and I looked at the clay pot with a sad face all day long, feeling like I was about to be tortured and crazy.
At the same time, we were also observing the movements of Xia Luan's people. Of course, we didn't go directly to investigate, but asked the people from the corpse gate to help investigate.
I was comforted by the information they came back from. It seems that the bronze stick is still very effective, at least Xia Luan's people are still searching in another place until now, and they don't know that we are hiding here.
Just when I was about to despair about this bird-shaped clay pot, one day Tang Yiyi suddenly ran in and dragged me away.
I was a little frightened by her, and quickly asked her what was wrong? Tang Yiyi said to me excitedly: "I know how to drive this bird-shaped clay pot." ”
I was shocked, and ran with Tang Yiyi to the lotus pond in one breath. Kaixiao was looking at the lotus pond excitedly, his eyes were blazing, and he was even more obsessed with seeing a beautiful woman.
I hurriedly asked the two of them what they had discovered.
He said to me excitedly: "The key to the problem is water." ”
"Water?" I don't know why.
Desert immediately took me around to the other side and pointed me to the lotus root pond, and I was surprised to find that the bird-shaped clay pot had been soaked in water by them.
The mouth of the bird-shaped clay pot has been releasing bubbles, and the clay pot is pushed by the bubbles, like a yacht, swimming slowly in the water, backwards. And it's been in the direction of the west.
Even when it came to the earthen wall of the lotus pond, it was trying to reach the west. No matter where you place it, the pot will quickly adjust its direction as well.
I smiled: "Then what are you doing in a daze?" Let's go now. ”
With that, I took it out without hesitation, took out the map, marked the closest route to the Yellow River, and set off in a majestic manner.
I know that the war between Panmen and Xia Luan took place on the edge of the Yellow River. And my grandfather picked me up on the edge of the Yellow River, and he will definitely give me to the people on the side of the Yellow River.
As long as we follow the path that this clay pot leads us, we will definitely find my adoptive parents back then.
We walked all day before we finally came to the edge of the Yellow River. The rushing and roaring Yellow River, like a wild dragon, beats the embankments of the Yellow River on both sides. If you want to swim up this river, you can't do it unless you find a big boat.
Fortunately, there were quite a few visitors to the Yellow River here, and we spent a lot of money to finally rent a gasoline boat from a company specializing in operations, and hired another sailor.
I tied a rope to the clay pot and threw it into the water. The clay pot seems to have a chemical reaction with the flow of water, and it quickly swims upstream.
I immediately asked the sailors to follow the clay pot.
This strange scene shocked the sailors and asked, "Is my clay pot some kind of high-tech?"
Desert smiled and explained to him that it was a set of unmanned submarines specially purchased from the National Security Bureau, which was amazing. In an instant, a few of us had a qualitative leap in the eyes of the sailor.
We went up the river 24 hours a day, and the three of us took turns staring at the clay pot, fearing that it would suddenly stop somewhere and we didn't know it.
Now on both sides of the river, it is no longer the one I was familiar with when I was a child, there are four or five mountain villages, and many places have built factories, as well as high-end residential villas, as if it has become a small county town.
After walking for about three days and three nights, the clay pot that was originally "traveling in the water" actually stopped. I was overjoyed to know that my adoptive parents might be here.
I was so excited that I was a little incoherent at the thought of maybe meeting my adoptive parents. Although it was only for a few days of raising me, this kind of feeling is very wonderful, and I can't describe it in words.
This is a city called Tianshui, which is not too developed, as can be seen from this somewhat dilapidated town on the bank of the Yellow River.
However, there are no factories here, but the environment is very good. People close to the Yellow River still make a living from fishing. When we went ashore, we were just in time for dinner.
The sailors we hired are familiar with this place, probably because they often come here to take boats. He said that the sweet and sour Yellow River carp here is good, and only here can you eat authentic ones.
So we found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes and took a break. Of course, we also asked the clerk about my adoptive parents.
But it's been decades, and no one should remember it. And maybe they've already passed away?
After eating, we simply stayed at this restaurant. I was full of sadness and mixed feelings, and I washed the mud and sand above me with water.
And when I poured water into the belly of a bird-shaped clay pot, something strange happened. The strange patterns inside the clay pot have been refracted by the water, and the originally crooked font has become a little horizontal and vertical, and it looks like the strokes of ordinary Chinese characters.
I was in ecstasy, and immediately I found a pen and paper, wrote down the drawings in order, and put them together again.
In the end, I spelled out a sentence: Liu Laohan gave the king of fish an iron head.
There is no doubt that Liu Laohan is my grandfather, the king of fish iron heads, and it must be the name of my adoptive father.
Since it is called the King of Fish, it must be famous, so I didn't hesitate to inquire.
I really didn't disappoint when I inquired about it. In the past, there was really a fish king in the village, and the Yellow River carp that was difficult to catch in the village would always bring back a few every time he went to sea. And what he brought back was often a fat big carp, a treasure among the treasures, people said that he was the king of fish, what fish he wanted to catch, as long as he gave an order, the fish would often drill into it.
He also has a nickname called Iron Head, so the name of Iron Head of the King of Fish has gradually become called.
And this king of fish has never had a child in his life. It's just that when I was young, there was suddenly an inexplicable child in the family, but the child was crying so much, someone asked them about the origin of the child, and they all said that they were relatives and helped take care of it for two days.
At first, the people in the village still didn't believe it, thinking that it might be a child bought by the king of fish. But then the old man did come again and took the child away, and they believed that it was indeed a relative's.
It's just that no one knows what kind of relative the old man is.
They also told me that it seems that since that incident, the king of fish iron head has only begun to be lucky, every time he fishes, he can get a lot more than others, and he always catches the Yellow River big carp, many people say that the Yellow River big carp can not be found in the Yellow River now, it is because the king of fish iron head has fished the big carp out of the house.
I know that the Fish King Iron Head is 100% my adoptive father, so let them take me to the Fish King Iron Head's house to have a look.
However, they told me that the king of fish had moved away a long time ago, and the specific reason was unknown, but in short, he moved away when he was in his prime.
The villagers suspected that he had saved enough money to move to the city.
I hurriedly asked them if they knew where the king of fish had moved? The people in the village shook their heads and said they didn't know, but before leaving, the king of fish told the villagers that if anyone came to them, let him go up the Yellow River, and they would go fishing somewhere else.
I was so excited when I heard this, without saying a word, I immediately found Kai Xiaocha and Tang Yiyi and the sailor, and without further ado, set off immediately.
