Chapter 48: The Legend of Xu Fu
Although Zhang Tiezhu was very reluctant, he still brought us to the big hole in the fourth tunnel, the diameter of the big hole is very large, as Zhang Tiezhu said, it has a diameter of 2.7 meters, at this time the entrance of the big hole is covered with a nylon film four or five meters square, I walked forward and looked at the cave through the nylon film, the hole was pitch black, I didn't see it. I sighed, carefully followed Bai Ming's words, and slowly sent the spiritual pressure through the membrane to the cave. The hole is very deep, my spiritual pressure has dropped more than 20 meters, and there is no end, I wiped the sweat beads on my forehead, and stood up helplessly, my spiritual pressure is still very deep, and it is already my limit to detect more than 20 meters.
Seeing that I shook my head and stood up, Lotte stepped forward and asked, "How's the situation?" I shook my head and said helplessly, "The hole is too deep for me to detect the bottom." ”
At this time, Le Ji came up and said, "Why don't we let the ancestral soul of our Le family go down and have a look." I thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful." "Now there is no other way, if you rashly lift the film, I don't know what will happen, I can only rely on the ancestors of Lejia to go down and see.
Le Ji didn't say much, turned to say a few words to the empty behind him, I knew that he must be communicating with the ancestor at this time, after a while, I felt a slight concave in the center of the film, and it returned to its original state, Le Ji said: "There is already an ancestor going down, let's wait, there will be news soon." ”
I nodded, and at this time, a man walked into the temporary canopy of the archaeological team and said, "Chiefs, you can eat." The prime minister looked at a watch in his hand before he smiled and said, "Look at me, you have forgotten, let's go, let's eat first." "I looked at the timer in my hand, and it was about half past five o'clock in the evening, and I was really hungry after a dozen hours on the plane. I glanced at Le Ji, and Le Ji smiled: "It's okay, the ancestor will come directly to me when he comes back, we don't have to wait like this, let's go, let's go eat first." ”
I nodded and made a preemptive gesture to the Prime Minister. The prime minister didn't say much, and walked straight to the outside of the shed.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with fish and meat, and I knew that it was definitely specially ordered by the Prime Minister, who is known in history for his frugality, and if it were not for the purpose of entertaining us, there would not have been such a good dish.
Originally, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, but halfway through the meal, Le Ji suddenly stood up, and his face changed greatly and said, "My connection with the ancestors has been cut off. Lotte was slightly stunned, and then stood up with a solemn face.
I looked at the two people who stood up suspiciously, Lotte saw my doubts, and said slowly: "Our Lejia has been connected with the souls of the ancestors since ancient times, and there are only two ways to cut off the connection between us and the ancestors, the first way is to kill us, but now my father is fine, so the second thing happened." With that, Lotte glanced at Le Ji, and Le Ji nodded, indicating that Lotte was right.
I patted my head and said, "Stop playing dumb riddles, what the hell is going on?" Lotte said a little scared: "The second one is the soul of the ancestor or the indulgent, one of them was pulled into a completely different space, just like I ......" Lotte just wanted to say, but seemed to remember something, and immediately stopped his mouth. I knew what he wanted to say was that it was like he was pulled into the "hall" space by the organizers, but he was forced to swallow back the words because of the organizers' rules of "erasure". Now that Le Ji is still by my side, that is to say, the soul of the ancestors of Le Ji has been pulled into an unknown space, that is to say, in this big hole is leading to an unknown space!
I tilted my head and thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no other possibility?" For example, what about being forcibly disconnected by someone who is more controllable than your father? ”
Lotte shouted almost at the same time as Le Ji: "Impossible! Seeing them answer categorically at the same time, I was almost slightly stunned, and Lotte said a little embarrassed: "Captain, this is actually about the secret of our Lejia." At this time, Le Ji smiled apologetically at everyone except Lotte and my teammates and said, "Prime Minister, look." ”
The prime minister immediately understood, stood up and smiled at a few "outsiders": "Wang Tiezhu, don't you have a job to report to me?" Let's go out and say. ”
Wang Tiezhu obviously hadn't eaten such a good thing for a long time, so the prime minister greeted him, raised his head and said blankly: "No." ”
Hearing Wang Tiezhu say this, the prime minister's face changed slightly, and I looked at it from the side and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so I could only hold back my face and turn red. At this time, Xiao Li grabbed Wang Tiezhu and said, "Didn't you say that you had something to find the prime minister in the afternoon?" Why don't you say there now? Hearing Xiao Li say this, even if Wang Tiezhu was stupid, he could see that the atmosphere was not right at this time, so he hurriedly picked up a chicken leg on the table and held it in his hand before reluctantly saying: "Well, yes, Prime Minister, let's go out and talk." ”
The Prime Minister's face improved slightly, and he was the first to walk out of the room. Seeing that everyone else was going out, Le Ji glanced at Lotte and said, "Son, do you really want to tell them this?" Lotte looked at me and smiled: "Father, all of you are my comrades-in-arms, the kind of comrades-in-arms who can hand over their surnames to the other party, you can rest assured." ”
Le Ji thought for a while and said: "Although I don't know what you have experienced together and what you will experience in the future, I can see the trust in your eyes, your trust in your captain, I am your father, all I should do is believe in your choice." Le Ji smiled, then sat down again, picked up the cup he had used, and began to drink to himself.
Lotte sat down next to Le Ji, looked at me and said: "Actually, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang and our Lejia, there are some origins, our Lejia, originated in the early years of the Han Dynasty, but the real traceback, our Lejia should start from the Qin Dynasty." Speaking of this, Lotte looked at Le Ji again, and saw that he really didn't react, so he continued to say reassuringly: "My ancestor was a famous man of the Qin Dynasty, he was erudite and talented, proficient in medicine, astronomy, navigation and even he was a close disciple of Guiguzi, at the end of Qin, Qin Shi Huang felt that he was running out of time, so he sent our ancestor of Le Jia to lead eight hundred boys and eight hundred virgins to the sea to find the elixir of life. Who knows that the ancestors of the musicians, after going to sea, there will be no news. ”
Speaking of Lotte, I already have a number in my heart, and I can basically think of who Lotte's ancestors are. Seeing that I didn't speak, Lotte continued: "The whereabouts of the ancestors Some people say that they met a shipwreck at sea, and the whole ship died, and some people say that the ancestors did not go to sea at all, but hid with the treasure given by the first emperor, but no one thought that the ancestors not only went to sea, but also sailed very smoothly and safely on the sea, and no one thought that the ancestors met Yingzhou Mountain. ”
Hearing this, I almost got up from the stool, Yingzhou Mountain, known as one of the three immortal mountains, in ancient Chinese legends there are three immortal mountains, namely abbot, Penglai and Yingzhou, most of the legends record these three immortal mountains in the Bohai Sea. I always thought it was a legend, but at this moment Lotte told me that the three immortal mountains are real, which made me a little difficult to accept.
Lotte continued: "The ancients have always thought that the three immortal mountains are a legend, that is, they believe that they exist, and most of them also think that they are in the Bohai Sea, but they are all wrong, the three immortal mountains have actually been floating on the sea, there is no definite place at all, and moreover, the three immortal mountains will only appear on the sea once every thousand years, and the rest of the time, they are in another space. ”
Knowing these secrets, my mood could not be calmed for a long time, I frowned, sat on the stool, a thought flashed through my mind, but I couldn't grasp anything.
Lotte took a sip of wine and was snatched away by Le Ji: "Child, what kind of wine to drink, I'll pour you a glass of water." With that, he turned around and left, and now Lotte can tell the secrets of these musicians, and Lotte is already 100% convinced that Lotte is his son, so he is now talking to Lotte as if he is a father.
Lotte smacked his lips, smiled and continued: "According to legend, the abbot, Penglai and Yingzhou are the three major immortal islands, and the abbot and Penglai don't know if it's really a fairy island, but Yingzhou is not so much a fairy island as a ghost island. ”
I was slightly stunned, not knowing what Lotte meant by his words. Lotte didn't look at me, but continued: "After the ancestor came to the island, he found that not only did the island have a black fog that persisted all year round, but also the boys and virgins he brought with him gradually became crazy, and began to attack each other, and even devoured each other. There was nothing else on the island except a black fruit, but after the ancestors saw a seabird eat the fruit and immediately died, the ancestors did not dare to eat it indiscriminately. The fog on the island also made it impossible for the ancestors to find a way out and return to the ship. ”
I nodded slightly, although I had no personal experience in the situation at that time, I could also think about the helplessness of the ancestors of the Lejia family, all the people around me killed each other, and devoured each other, and I couldn't see a way out, there was no food, if ordinary people would have collapsed a long time ago.
Lotte saw my expression and said with a wry smile: "Yes, the ancestor had almost collapsed at that time, but just when he took off his belt and wanted to end himself, a person appeared, he took the ancestor out of the fog, and gave the ancestor the ability to control ghosts, and gave the ancestor a book, until he walked out of the fog, the ancestor saw a boulder standing on the shore, the boulder said Yingzhou Ghost World, and the yellow spring fell to the ground." There is also a line of small characters below that reads 'The bitter sea is endless, and the back is the shore', the ancestors knew that they had mistakenly entered Yingzhou Mountain, one of the three legendary immortal mountains, and Yingzhou Mountain has another name that everyone knows, that is, Huangquan! ”
At this time, Le Ji walked back, handed Lotte a glass of water and said, "Remember, you are not allowed to drink in the future." Lotte looked at his father, who was not a few years older than him, nodded awkwardly, took a sip of the water cup and continued: "And the thin book that the man gave to the ancestors actually wrote the Legend of the Reincarnation King with a small seal on it. At this time, the ancestor knew that it was actually the reincarnation king of one of the legendary ten halls of Hades who saved him. After the ancestors returned to the ship, they returned to the Central Plains, incognito, changed their surname to Le, and devoted themselves to studying the reincarnation of the king, and there was no dispute with the world, so the ability of our Lejia can be said to be given by the reincarnation king, and it is impossible for anyone to deprive our family of the ability, unless it is the reincarnation king himself. “
Lotte said this, and stopped talking, and the rest of us, because of the amount of information for a while, all savored it carefully, and did not speak, and the house fell into a strange silence.
