Chapter 0118: Ancient Dian Kingdom
When the direction is selected, after the flashlight, there is indeed an object reflecting under the bottom of the pool, and the speed of the three of us diving is also faster.
However, seeing that there is still a depth of more than ten meters about to bottom, a very bizarre thing happened.
The three of us were swimming well, but suddenly we were bounced open by a very hard transparent object, and we tumbled in the surging water for a while, and it was not until a while that we recovered our strength.
The fat man seemed to be dumbfounded, stunned in place for a long time, and finally I pulled the rope to wake him up, and after the three of us hugged each other again, Li Baqiu made a move?
I was also inexplicable, and said in my heart, could it be that there are immortals alive at the bottom of the pool, and the dragon king lives in an enchantment? I saw that I was thinking a little wrong, so I hurriedly shook my head, which was still dizzy, and made a gesture to Li Baqiu and the others to take a look.
The three of us cautiously swam towards the transparent object before, and as soon as we got close to the original position, a seemingly transparent but real glass object blocked us, forming two underwater worlds.
The sea fat man kicked a few times with his foot, and except for the sound of "bang-bang" in the water, the transparent barrier was not damaged at all, and it was still real. He didn't seem to believe in evil either, so he said that we should turn it back today, and it just happened to hit this, and dragged us to look elsewhere.
The two of us had no choice but to follow the wishes of the fat man to look elsewhere, and finally found that the scope of this layer of enchantment in front of us was extremely wide, and the three of us could not walk to the edge of it for a while.
Seeing that the oxygen meter showed that there was only half an hour's supply left, I found the fat man who was still looking for him to discuss whether it was time to go back, and he couldn't pay attention for a while.
At this time, Li Baqiu, who was not far away, swam over frantically, as if the end was coming, constantly making movements and making eyes at us, and for a while I didn't know what he wanted to express? I didn't realize anything until a black mystical object came over my head.
Before we had time to think about it, we quickly pulled out our daggers and slammed them into the transparent enchantment beneath us, clinging to them in an attempt not to be swept away by the swarms of mysteries.
It wasn't until a few minutes had passed that all the black and oppressive mysteries had swam away from the waters, and we realized that we couldn't stay any longer, and just as we wanted to relax and swim towards the top of the pool, there was a huge black shadow rushing in.
This time, it doesn't seem to be thousands of objects gathered together, but an extremely large monster that seems to be chasing after it, staging the survival rules of natural selection.
This time, the three of us failed to avoid the undercurrent brought by the behemoth, and danced wildly by the impact of the current, but fortunately, the behemoth was not interested in the three of us, otherwise opening the giant mouth slightly would be the beginning of our nightmare.
The whirlpool of water at the bottom of the pool was pounding wantonly, and every time I was swept away by the current, the rope tied around my waist tightened. In this way, the three of us washed in the water for about ten minutes before we stopped as the whirlpool stopped.
I followed the rope in the water to find the vertigo Li Baqiu, who was already unable to find the southeast and northwest at this time. However, when we went to look for the fat man again, we found that although the rope tied to him was very tight, there was no trace of him, which was very strange.
Li Baqiu also realized this, and pulled the rope suspiciously, seeing that it was indeed very tight and could not be pulled, he immediately signaled to go along the rope to take a look.
When the two of us followed the rope to a transparent knot, we were shocked to find that the fat man was actually in the space of the knot, and it seemed to be still hanging.
It was only then that I noticed that there was a slight crack at the end of the rope that tied the sea fat man through the transparent knot, and there were the same cracks along both sides of this crack, vaguely outlining a window like a figure, and it was not difficult to see that the sea fat man was inadvertently rushed into the whirlpool of water.
Now that I've found a breakthrough, the rest of the matter is much easier, I tried to pry the window with my dagger, and sure enough, the crack in the rope opened a little harder, and then a strong force came from the inside out and closed it again.
After the temptation just now, I am even more confident to open this glass window and enter it.
After a brief discussion with Li Baqiu, he began to pry with a dagger, and when the crack was opened, I quickly put my leg in, although the ensuing force made my thigh hurt, but it could not hurt me.
With the clipping of my thigh, I began to nibble at it little by little, and with the help of Li Baqiu outside, it only took me a minute to enter this mysterious realm.
My arrival immediately attracted the attention of the fat man hanging in the air, and he shouted to prove that he was still alive. However, at this time, I was hanging upside down in the air, which was already extremely uncomfortable, and I had to look at the surrounding environment, so I naturally chose to ignore him.
It is a gray world, separated only by a layer of transparency from the raging lake, and the desolate and magnificent ruins of the ancient city stand quietly there. The remains of the official offices, mansions, cangao, Buddhist temples, houses and streets in the city are still faintly recognizable, all revealing the ancient atmosphere, as if telling the story of its vicissitudes to future generations.
Just when I was shocked by the scene in front of me, Li Baqiu, who followed me, also got in. His arrival put an end to the hanging upside down between me and the fat man, and at the same time the three of us fell to the ground together, splashing a large cloud of dust.
I was hit hard to the ground, and my whole body hurt from the fall, and my bones were about to fall apart. Originally, Li Baqiu should have been the worst one to fall, but who knew that he didn't cry out for pain, but it was the fat man who hummed non-stop, which was worse than killing a pig.
I tried hard to look in the direction of the fat man screaming, and was surprised to find that Li Baqiu was also there, and it seemed that he had just gotten up from him.
I moved my muscles a little, and when I saw that I was not missing arms or legs, I took off my diving suit and crawled towards the fat man.
At this time, Li Baqiu had already taken off his diving suit, and was sitting awkwardly on the side, apologizing to the fat man who fell to the ground in pain. My arrival rescued Li Baqiu, and he glanced at me and motioned to wake up the fat man who was pretending to be dead.
I crawled over to take a look, although the fat man was pretending to be dead and deliberately scaring Li Baqiu, but he was indeed pressed hard, and his face was purple, until I gave him a soft belly, he didn't feel good until I gave him a soft belly, but he still couldn't get up for a while.
In order to give the fat man enough time to recuperate, Li Baqiu and I sat aside and passed the time by chatting.
When the two of us were talking about whether this ancient city at the bottom of the lake was the mysterious place that my grandfather and they explored twenty years ago, the fat man finally relented and sat up, and after glancing at Li Baqiu angrily, he said: "Don't doubt it, this is the ancient city ruins of the lake bottom that we are looking for: the ancient Dian Kingdom." ”
"Ancient Dian Kingdom?" I muttered the name of this extremely unfamiliar country, and when I saw that the fat man was so confident, I immediately looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "How are you so sure?" ”
When he saw me ask, he didn't say anything more, but slowly stood up, patted his dirty buttocks, and walked towards the gate of the ancient city. Somehow, the fat man who I had always felt was not simple, but now he finally revealed the mysterious side that he had been trying to hide.
Li Baqiu pulled my clothes and signaled me not to think about it, in fact, he who is experienced in the rivers and lakes can't see the reason, but for him, as long as the other party is not his enemy, what does it matter what his identity is? Who is it?
I stared blankly at the fat man who was gradually walking away, but in the end I didn't get too involved in this topic, and chased after Li Baqiu quickly. When he saw the two of us chasing after him, he didn't want to say more about the previous topic, so he directly pointed to the gate of the ancient city in front of him and said, "That should be the gate of the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom." ”
I looked in the direction of his finger, although it was gray inside, but I still vaguely saw that in the center of an ancient city wall like a sleeping dragon, there was a huge ancient city gate full of historical vicissitudes closed, and the city gate was carved with three big characters of "Ancient Dian Kingdom" with seal characters.
For the ancient Dian Kingdom, I am completely puzzled by the bad history, even Li Baqiu, who is known as a know-it-all, has become humble for a while at this time, and it was not until the fat man of the sea gave us an introduction that we vaguely understood what the ancient Dian Kingdom was.
It turned out that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State of the Seven Kingdoms wanted to expand its sphere of influence to the southwest, so it sent his general Zhuang Ji to lead an army of more than 100,000 to the Dian region (now Yunnan) and conquered many local ethnic minorities.
However, just as Zhuang Ji was preparing to return to the court, he caught up with the Qin State to invade the Chu State and cut off his circuit. So Zhuang Ji simply called Wang Jianguo in Yunnan, and the history is called "Zhuang Ji Wang Dian", which is now the ancient Dian Kingdom.
In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (109 BC), the central dynasty set the area where the Dian Kingdom was located as "Yizhou County", with 24 counties under its jurisdiction, and the King of Dian became the nominal ruler.
Since then, the ancient Dian civilization has gradually weakened and integrated into the Central Plains civilization, due to the lack of written records, everything about the ancient Dian kingdom has gradually disappeared and become a historical mystery that no one knows.
