Chapter 54: Scales

The waters of the Jinshan Grand Canyon are very wide, as far as Zhao Xiaosan said, he used to play here with his friends, but he went to places with farmhouses, and the Yellow River water there was not yellow, but green.

The location we are in seems to be the place where the Yellow River has the most sediment.

Visibility in the water is extremely low, and it's no exaggeration to say that if you put your hand into the river, you won't necessarily be able to see your palm.

When the government official reported to me earlier, he said that he had seen something similar to black ink in this body of water.

I didn't react at the time, but when I got on the boat, I realized that the visibility of the river was so low? How did the grandson see it?

Of course, this doubt quickly disappeared.

At the place where I scattered the willow leaves and millet, in the river, it was obvious that a fist-sized mass of "black ink" gushed out, and these "black ink" were in the same shape as a ball, but the edges looked very irregular.

From my point of view, this black ink should be a meter or two below the water, but that inexplicable sense of clarity gives people a feeling of being within reach.

In this section of the Yellow River, there is almost nothing to see in the river except for the Yellow River water, unless the water is very shallow, so that you can barely see the darker things at the bottom of the river.

But the water in our area is not shallow, as far as Zhao Xiaosan said, the water here is at least more than three meters deep, and if you go a little further, the water depth should change to four or five meters.

It's such a deep water, and the black ink is at the bottom, and we can still see it.

The willow leaves had already sunk as soon as they touched the water of the Yellow River, and the handful of millet that I had sprinkled down did not sink a single grain, all of them floated on the water.

That's right, I observed for a few seconds, and these millets were not washed away by the river, and they were still floating steadily in the water.

"Little San'er, you drive the boat to the left, let's change a few more places to measure." I said with a solemn face: "The effective range of the Nine Transformation Immortal Array is about one hundred meters, as long as we determine the location of that injustice, even if it is a vague location, it will be enough." ”

"Well, after that, we'll distance ourselves from that injustice, and then wait for you to get into battle, right?" Zhao Xiaosan sat at the stern of the boat, while controlling the direction of the iron ship, and asked me: "Go to the left and finish the measurement, where are we going?" ”

"Come around in a circle, you are ready, if the situation is wrong, I will let you run, you can run, let's run back to the shore."

"Done."

"What's that black stuff?" Zhao Qingluan asked me curiously.

"I don't know." I frowned, and my face was full of doubt: "This thing looks a little strange, but it should have something to do with the Black Water Sin." ”

"It's not going to be separated from it, is it?" Zhao Qingluan muttered thoughtfully: "Didn't Brother Yi say it, the black water sin he met originally seems to have this kind of black water detached from the body." ”

"I can't say." I sighed: "It's useless for us to think more now, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, let's fight." ”

According to the blind boss, if the position of the formation is too close to the true body of the injustice, then in the process of arranging the formation, it may be attacked by the injustice.

The Nine Transformation Immortal Array has a total of nine array eyes, if you want to start a formation, you must first get the eight array eyes in turn, as long as the first eight array eyes are put into the Yellow River to stabilize, then at the same time as the ninth array eye is completed, the formation will start in an instant.

No need to chant mantras, no practices, just throw things into the Yellow River in order.

From this point of view, the blind boss is still quite awesome, and he can actually make this kind of simple and practical formation, although the process of arranging the formation is a bit cumbersome, and those directions have to be determined one by one, but the effect is still good.

When we reached the cliff on the left, I measured it again, and after the willow leaf millet sank into the water, there was still a reaction to the existence of injustice nearby.

At this moment, our position is about 20 meters away from the position we just tested, relying on the means of multiple water tests, how can we measure the location of the injustice with a little more time.

Of course, the premise of all this has to be based on the fact that the unjust do not run around.

"If Brother Yi fools me, I'll play with him when I go back." I muttered.

"Fooling you what?" Shen Han was stunned.

"He said that the activity of this injustice is very low, and he doesn't like to run around, so it is easier to set up a formation." I said helplessly: "But if the injustice has been in a state of activity, then the Nine Transformation Immortal Array will not be able to be used at all, the array is dead, and the injustice is alive, isn't this teasing me." ”

"What are we going to do if injustice really swims around in the water?" Shen Han was also a little worried.

"Find out where the injustice is hiding first, and then go downstream, measuring as you go down, if the injustice is swimming with us, then we will definitely know, but if it goes in the opposite direction, I can't do anything at all." I shook my head: "Let's take it one step at a time." ”

In the subsequent test process, Zhao Qingluan was not idle, and he found a piece of white paper from somewhere, and used a black marker pen to draw a map of the flow of this section of the river.

Then we carefully drew the points we had tested, and from time to time I looked up at the river, as if estimating the distance between several points.

From the time we started testing the location of the injustice to the time we came to a conclusion, the whole process took more than two hours.

"Seriously, I kind of regret coming to work with you." Zhao Qingluan took the blank paper, raised his head and glanced at me, and said with a wry smile: "How do I feel that this matter is a bit unreliable." ”

"I persuaded you at the beginning, but you kept saying that you wanted to come, and you said that whoever regrets it is the grandson." I laughed and scolded, "Grandson, do you regret it now?" ”

"Sort of." Zhao Qingluan nodded very seriously, his expression was a little complicated: "At first, I didn't think of it, but now this river gives me an indescribable sense of danger, and I have never encountered such a situation."

"I feel that way, too." Zhao Xiaosan smoked a cigarette and suddenly said this, but the expression on his face was not nervous, but looked very relaxed: "Whatever, isn't there Brother Yuan on top of the sky when the sky falls." ”

Hearing this, I laughed twice and didn't say anything.

I have the guts to resist it, but I may not be able to.

If the injustice had not flowed everywhere in the river, then its current location should be the place we had measured, that is, at the corner of the canyon about sixty meters from our iron boat.

There were no weeds or trees in the vicinity, and when you looked at it, it was all a desolate loess mound.

"Xiao Zhao, drive the boat to the right, drive slowly, if I tell you to stop, you will stop."

"Okay."

I always carried the formation map given to me by the blind boss, so at that time, I didn't dare to pretend to be forced, the enemy is current, and I can't rely on memory to set up the formation.

I held the array diagram in my hand, and while looking at the diagram for comparison, I methodically determined the position of the array eye in the river.

The first array eye is the "yang eye", which is used to absorb yang energy from all directions, and is specially made to cooperate with the "yin eye" to achieve the purpose of absorbing yin and yang qi first and then digesting it.

"Stop!!"

When I arrived at the position where I had calculated that the formation should be, I shouted at Zhao Xiaosan, and he immediately stopped the boat.

"The first eye is here, wait for me to drop the scales down to measure the depth of the water."

"Oh yes, Brother Yuan, I suddenly remembered something." Zhao Xiaosan took a cigarette in his mouth and asked me with great interest: "Isn't that jade pine you brought an eye?" You're not going to throw that thing in the water, are you? That thing can't float. ”

"You don't have to go into the water for the last moment, I've asked Brother Yi, just cloth on the boat." I smiled, seeing that Zhao Qingluan and Shen Han's expressions were a little solemn, and after hesitating for a while, I couldn't help but persuade: "Why don't you go ashore and wait for me first, watch Xiao San'er drive the boat, I almost understand how to operate, and I'll do the rest." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingluan and Shen Han both glanced at me, their eyes were full of disdain, probably thinking that I was stupid.

Seeing this scene, I didn't say anything more, and slowly walked to the side of the boat with the scale.

I took a deep breath and jerked forward.

With the sound of splashing water, the scales disappeared into the Yellow River in an instant
