Chapter 412: No Buoyancy Dark River
"I heard a lot of voices that I couldn't understand, and I had never been like this before." Donna said gloomily, "The world is far more complicated than we imagined, and the predecessors did not leave a precedent for reference to what the so-called 'axis of the earth' looks like. β
"You're tired, it's better to stop for a while and don't think about anything-" Lin Xuan pulled Don Na across the bridge, raised his hand, and gently smoothed the pimples wrinkled between her eyebrows, "Don Na, there is a limit to people's thinking ability, if you think too much and too far, you must stop thinking in time, otherwise it will damage your brain memory." Before any big secret in the world is revealed, there will be countless explorers who will fall on the road to success one after another, which is the law and inevitable. Think about it, how many unprecedented, brilliant explorers have ever been able to disappear without a trace? China's 'Great Ranger' Xu Xiake, the United States' 'Earth Magnifying Glass' Charens, France's 'Lone Lion' Nandu, Russia's 'Plateau Blood Lizard' Podolaski...... has been vigorous in his life, creating countless legends that have been appreciated and bowed down by future generations, but which of them has died well? β
Speaking of this, Lin Xuan was also extremely emotional, after all, he was also in such an environment.
If this expedition was the focus of his life, then he would also be included in the ranks of Xu Xiake, Charrens, Nandu, and Podolaski, and become an example of failure in the textbooks of later generations.
"The closer you get to the peak, the more apprehensive your mood becomes, is this the artistic conception expressed by you Chinese saying 'the height is not cold'?" Donna asked.
The pimple on her forehead slowly unfolded under Lin Xuan's caressing, in this dangerous environment, the small intimacy between the two was a good medicine for each other's relaxation.
"It's supposed to be 'cold in the lower places'." Lin Xuan smiled.
The highest ideal of the great poet Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty is "flying to the sky", so he took into account that the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace will be "cold in the high place", and yearns for it, looking forward to one day in the future to be able to fly to the moon for nine days, and cherish and care for the fairy in the cold moon. More and faster chapters are here. There are few people in history who can compare and compare this kind of feeling.
Similarly, the great poet Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty wrote the quatrain of "Raise a glass to invite the bright moon and make three shadows", regarded the bright moon as a lifelong friend, and finally performed the eternal tragedy of "going to the water to catch the moon".
The above two examples show that a true master will definitely reach his ideal destination. For example, right now, Lin Xuan has been hiding in Tibet for three years, and his target is locked on the axis of the earth, and now he is infinitely close to the target. Be the first to update
Su Dongpo flew into the sky, Li Taibai went to the water, and he and Tang Na were "retreating". Everyone chooses a different direction, but the pursuit of life is the same goal, all in order to achieve a "greatest end". Such an end is something that ordinary people can never reach, and only the world's top masters can set foot in.
Donna closed her eyes, and at first the eyeballs rolled under her eyelids, and after a minute, the rolling slowly stopped. When she opened her eyes again, there was a bright look in her eyes again.
"I'm all right." Donna smiled, "The happiness gained in this minute is better than wasting ten years." More and faster chapters are here. β
Although she is a specially trained Russian spy, the shyness of the girl has not been smoothed out, especially in front of Lin Xuan, she still shows her true colors from time to time.
Lin Xuan stared into Don Na's eyes: "You are very strange, foreigners think that Russian girls are always fiery and open-minded and unscrupulous, but you are like a Chinese girl at this point, reserved and introverted, and have a degree of advance and retreat." β
"Really? So can you tell me which one do you prefer? Fiery and open or subtle? The smile on Donna's face became more charming.
"I likeβ" Lin Xuan only said half a sentence before the bridge behind them suddenly broke, falling to the edge of the culvert, and being swallowed up by the undercurrent in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? It'sβ" Donna whispered in surprise, but didn't know what to say.
The two turned back at the same time, but saw a huge whirlpool in the water, with a diameter of fifteen meters, wrapped around the broken bridge and spun rapidly. The force generated by the whirlpool was so great that after dozens of turns, the broken bridge was erected upright, standing strangely in the center of the whirlpool. The broken bridge weighs at least five tons, but under the whirlpool torsion, it is as light as a thin bamboo cane, spinning and sinking into the undercurrent. More and faster chapters are here.
Lin Xuan retreated to the shore, the water was really deep, and there was no shadow of the bridge on the water. The broken bridge was swallowed up, and the whirlpool gradually disappeared, and the water surface was still as smooth as a mirror.
If the bridge is broken, it is equivalent to cutting off their way out.
"It looks like we can only go all the way forward, and God has cut off all our retreats." Lin Xuan said lightly.
He didn't want to guess the reason for the "broken bridge", he only knew that he tried to choose the right path in the predicament and minimize the loss.
"Maybe we can swim there on the way home?" Donna said tentatively, "As long as you avoid the whirlpool, or the scene just now is just because the broken bridge is too heavy, it causes something abnormal in the water." β
Lin Xuan shook his head: "This culvert is very strange, don't believe it, you see me do an experiment." β
He pulled up his trousers, and with his fingers, tore off a strip of cloth, about an inch wide and a foot long.
"I guess the cloth can't float on the water at all. If even the cloth sinks, it proves that the density of the water here is extremely low, and the corresponding buoyancy is low, and it will only trap people in it, like the quicksand in the desert. Update as soon as possible" Lin Xuan whispered.
Whether buoyancy can hold up floating objects is only related to the density contrast between the two. However, under normal circumstances, a piece of cloth, especially a dry cloth, is 100% able to float on the water and will not sink.
"If you can't even float a piece of cloth, then the water here is more terrible than quicksand." Donna was skeptical.
Lin Xuan tightened the strip of cloth until it became like a piece of cardboard. He took a deep breath, stretched his arms forward, released his ten fingers at the same time, and the step fell smoothly, from a soft state to a straight solid, and did not change its shape halfway, and landed on the surface of the river.
A terrible scene happened, the cloth only stayed on the surface of the water for less than half a second, and then slowly sank until it disappeared.
Donna shouted: "The water here is not buoyant at all, and if a person jumps, no matter how he swings his arms and legs, the only result can only be to sink to the bottom." β
Lin Xuan nodded, since he had thought of "Flame Mountain" from "Great Fire Burning" before, he naturally thought of "Quicksand River" from the culvert to "Quicksand River" at this moment.
The quicksand river is also a location in "Journey to the West", from the twenty-second chapter of "Journey to the West" in the paragraph "Eight Commandments vs. Liusha River, Wooden Fork Fengfa Collects Wujing" - this river is dangerous, and it is occupied by the curtain general Sha Wujing, and ordinary people can't cross it at all. There are poems as proof: 800 quicksand boundaries, 3,000 weak water depths. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom.
According to the research of geographers, the real Liusha River is located on the south bank of the Kaidu River in Yanqi Hui Autonomous County, which is under the jurisdiction of Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The strange river is located in the middle of the Tianshan Mountains in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, facing Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, across the mountains in the north, adjacent to the Tarim Basin in the south, the vast Bosten Lake in the east, and the Hora Mountain tourist area in the west. In Chinese folk, this river has always maintained its status as a mythical novel, with infinite scenery and mysterious illusion.
"Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. Tang Na whispered the poem describing the quicksand river in "Journey to the West", "Lin Xuan, you Chinese really know everything, a strange river far away in the wild land of Xinjiang can be discovered by novelists and become the material in fantasy novels...... In addition to this ultra-low buoyancy quicksand river, how many mysterious things are unknown to foreigners? β
"The world is so big, there are no wonders." Lin Xuan replied with this ancient saying.
The world is the world of the earthlings, and there are still too many blank knowledge areas for human beings to discover and fill, and it will be an incomparably long and arduous process. Lin Xuan could even imagine that even if the human race reached the moment of the global destruction, it might not be able to exhaust the secrets of this planet.
The ancients said: I don't know life, but I don't know death?
So, this sentence is also true in reverse, if you don't know death, how can you live?
