The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 38 The Bronze Hall (I)
Gu Chai can not only choose to go to France to be with his senior sister, but also arrange for him to go to school in the United States by Shirley Yang, or simply stay on Coral Temple Island to learn some business experience from Wu Wu, why bother to learn the skills that can't be put on the table from the old thief Uncle Ming, and do the trick of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers.
I know very well that Uncle Ming just took a fancy to the identity of Gu Chai Longhu, and Gu Chai was probably extinct after him. Although he was exposed by me and the fat man at this moment, Uncle Ming didn't dare to offend us because of a small loss, so he had to endure this evil breath and stare at Gu Chai with unwillingness. He didn't know that Gu Chai was attacked by sharks under the water, and still thought that the tattoo of this sea array was the secret of the Tan people in ancient times.
The lifeboat has been floating on the water for a long time, and seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the ancient city that has surfaced in the sea, I will not worry about Uncle Ming, and Shirley Yang and the others have focused their attention on the front, and I don't know what dangers I will encounter in this well-preserved underwater monument, while rowing forward, I asked the fat man to prepare self-defense weapons and lighting equipment.
At this moment, Uncle Ming seemed to have found something on Gu Chai's back, and pointed to the tattoo on the dinghy and shouted to us, "He...... The ancestors of the Longhu otter family among their Tan people probably escaped from this sea eye, and the pattern of this thin guy with a tattoo through the sea on his back is ...... Yes...... There's this mountain ahead! ”
Uncle Ming found that Gu Chai's tattoo was different on the dinghy, and in Longhu's sea map, there were actually peaks in the sea of ruins, and he was surprised to see the color, and he hurriedly told everyone this information.
The chaotic water surface was surging and agitated, and I heard that the tattoo depicted the situation in the eyes of the sea, so I had to raise my oars and stop rowing, and let the people bring the two dinghys closer and fix them with ropes. Uncle Ming couldn't wait to say to me: "The Tanren were sea barbarians in the pre-Qin period, and the tattoo patterns of the Longhu otter family have been handed down from the ancestors of the Tanren to this day, and the ruins under the coral spiral are probably the nests of their ancestors." Come and see, can Egg Boy's tattoo help us find a way out? ”
We take advantage of the light in the dragon fire rock layer on our heads, and look at the back of Gu Chai, the Tanman is surrounded by fish and dragon waves, which means that the scale people regard themselves as the scales, and when they scrape mussels and pearls in the sea, they can not suffer from material damage, commonly known as "through the sea". The tattoos are all scenes of whale salamanders chasing fire beads in the wind and waves, and the needles and secret medicines used in their tattoos have always been refused to be passed on. And unlike adult tattoos, Tanmin has embroidered face tattoos since the age of ten, and embroidered through the sea array, which means that the child is already a dragon or an otter family, and can go to the sea alone to explore Long Han. As he grew older, the embroidery of Longhu not only became clearer and more complex, but also the colors became more bright and dazzling.
I used to pay special attention to the thorns on the back of Gu Chai , but at this time, there are many more changes than before, in the embroidery of the ichthyosaurus scale clan chasing the sea and waves, there is another layer of vague patterns, I keep my eyes firmly on it, and after staring for a long time, I can see that there is a mountain peak that rises to the surface of the sea. The mountain is hollow, surrounded by a huge pillar that has fallen down, and under the pillar is a hideous-looking zombie, surrounded by human bones, and the bottom of the mountain is like a coral reef crisscrossed by caves, among which there seems to be a merman tomb, written with a few strange dead mackerel, and in the depths are the bones of a coiled dragon.
Gu Chai didn't know that there was another layer of dense hidden pictures in his tattoos, and he didn't know what he had to do with this mysterious ruin. His parents died young, and there were probably some secrets of the Tan people that he had not yet had time to tell him. I saw that there was nothing special in the sea thorns, so I patted Gu Chai on the shoulder and told him not to worry: "You kid is back to his hometown." ”
After that, I raised my binoculars and looked at the mountains that were still hundreds of meters away, and the lead-gray peaks were craggy and very conspicuous on the undulating water. There are bursts of sea air in the ruins, there are many chaotic air currents and smoke formed by sea vapor in the space, and only a general outline can be seen with a telescope, and there seem to be patches of architectural monuments scattered on the mountain, among which there seem to be many vague figures.
I looked at it a few times, and then gave the fat man the binoculars to look at it too, and the place looked very familiar to both of us. More than ten years ago, we once saw a ghost market phantom cloth produced by a turtle sleeping place in the Hundred Eyes Cave between the Mongolian steppe and the desert. If this mountain is not an illusion on the surface of the sea, it is probably related to our experience a long time ago, and I had a strong premonition that the ancient city I saw in the mirage of the Hundred Eyes Cave was the place I was destined to go in my life, but I could not think of it should be today.
At this time, Uncle Ming asked Shirley Yang: "In our group, in fact, only Miss Yang is a real person who understands, do you see the tattoo on the back of the egg boy, is it a chart in the ruins?" We have its guidance...... Will you be able to go home? ”
Shirley Yang said: "The outline of the sea map resembles a giant whale, very similar to the terrain in the ruins, and the peaks floating out of the water are no different from the thorn paintings in the map, but the tattoo is too abstract, at most it is a symbol, and it cannot be used as an accurate map." And I think...... This is neither a mountain peak nor a relic of an ancient city, but a tomb where the Hatetian clan is buried. ”
Uncle Ming was shocked: "Hate the ancient tomb of the Tian Clan? The scale is also too large, what does the corpse crushed by the giant pillar at the bottom, and these messy signs at the bottom of the mountain? Will there be dragon remains under the tomb? ”
Shirley Yang said to Uncle Ming: "The culture of hating the sky has always been regarded as a lost country in history, the world knows too little about the ruins and monuments, we are now nothing more than speculation, it is still too early to say anything, see the surge in the sea, and then stay on the water, I am afraid that the lifeboat will be exposed by the waves, no matter whether it is fierce or auspicious in front, it is only to venture into it to find out." ”
The fat man and I agreed, and the chaotic waters of the ruins rose and fell, and at some point the sea would swell and drum. In case the rubber boat is overturned, and someone falls into the water, they will inevitably be fed to the evil fish immediately, and there is no place to stay, and there is only to take shelter from the wind and waves in the ancient monuments that hate the heavens. At that moment, everyone picked up the wooden oars, paddled through the waves, and sailed the lifeboat forward.
