Uncle Ming divided the two short swords of the hated Tian's scraping mussels and slaying dragons to me and the fat man, he said that if you want to dive in the ruins to find a way to survive, you basically have to be prepared to have no return, God knows what dangers are in the depths of the water, there is the "water dividing sword" of the ancestors of the Tan people to defend yourself, at least more reliable than diving knives and spearguns, I and the fat man secretly scolded Uncle Ming and wanted to push us out as a shield.

But at this moment, I can't afford to worry about him anymore, I hurry up and tell everyone, it seems that there is going to be a big tide on the sea, and the ruins may be filled with sea water at any time, and there is only one way to die if you stay here and be burned by dragon fire. Let's dive underwater to survive, let's dive underwater to survive, there is only one chance, there is no reason to turn back, if the scuba is exhausted, you can't swim out...... Then I don't need to say the result, in short, remember three points, first, team action, advance and retreat together; Second; Don't waste time; Third, at the last moment, we must resist psychological pressure, we must be open-minded, desperate, and we must not turn back.

At this time, everyone is not clear that with the scuba oxygen we carry, if we want to escape from the ruins without determining whether there is an exit at all, the probability of getting out alive is probably not even one in a thousand. But staying here is either overturned by the surge and the boat fell into the water to feed the sharks, or was burned to death by dragon fire and hot springs, the situation is taking a sharp turn, and there are no minutes left to think about it without even taking a breath, seeing that there is no way to live if you don't take action, as Uncle Ming said, "If you don't gamble, you don't know the high luck", no matter how little chance there is, it's also an opportunity, rather than waiting for death, why not take advantage of the energy to take a risk now? Even if they have made up their minds.

At this time, the fire rain suddenly stopped falling, the sharks on the nearby water surface were snatching the body of the snapper, the water had risen to the head of the bronze slave, and the water surface was densely packed with a bronze human head, and the sound of the surrounding water was like hitting a giant bell at the bottom of the sea, at this time the atmosphere was indescribable, but I saw that it was the opportunity to enter the water, and made a gesture to everyone, buckled the frog mirror with a breathing tube, and was about to take the lead down the "楥木" into the water, but was pulled by Gu Chai by the arm.

I pushed the goggles away and asked, "What?" Flinched? Seeing that Longhu Guchai's face was full of surprise and horror, he said to everyone, "You can't go...... I saw...... A white ...... White sun! ”

I heard Gu Chai say that he saw the white sun, and I didn't understand what this kid was talking nonsense about, and I thought that he was too nervous and frightened, after all, the strong psychological pressure brought by despair was not something that he, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, could bear.

Uncle Ming was startled, it is not a good sign to see the white sun on the sea, people who know the walrus weather know that "the sun is miserable and the storm is in the sky", which is a sign that the sea disaster is about to occur, and he almost sat on the ground, but fortunately he was helped, Shirley Yang asked Gu Chai: "Don't worry, make it clear." ”

Gu Chai hurriedly pointed to the top of his head: "Look, the sun is white...... everyone didn't expect that the sun he said was overhead, and in the ruins where the terrain resembles the belly of a whale, how could they see the sun in the sky? When he was about to cast his eyes upward, he unexpectedly saw a white round object hanging overhead, facing the top of the arrow stone embedded in the "azalea wood".

Just now, the sea and air were agitated, the dragon fire in the rock formation splashed, and a fire rain fell, and half of the air was a mist formed by the yin fire burning the sea, and no one paid attention to the situation above. I was a little confused in my heart, and I wondered, "What is that?" "It happened very suddenly, and I didn't come back to my senses for a while, only a blank, but I still knew that it was definitely not the sun.

Shirley Yang stared at the black dome in the rock formation, which was obviously bulging from the surrounding area, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said happily: "Ghost Island!" It turns out that the white halo is not the sun described by Gu Chai, but a "skylight" in the ruins that is not covered by the sea air. As soon as we entered the coral spiral, the tide receded, revealing a black island on the surface of the sea, which was a "ghost island" that appeared and disappeared due to the action of the tides.

When the tide rises, the island is submerged, and when the tide level is low, it will reappear on the surface. At first, we mistakenly thought that Ghost Island was the back of a giant whale out of the water, but we were afraid that it would overturn the ship by blowing up the waves, and we bombarded it with Poseidon cannons to confirm that it was a lonely island in the sea. Ghost Island divides the coral spiral into two areas, east and west, and we were attacked by the "sea snake" and sank into the sea eye from the east side.

I didn't expect that there was a skylight-like cave on Ghost Island, which went straight to the sea, and it must have been clear, revealing a disc-sized piece of skylight, only to be mistaken by Gu Chai for seeing the white sun before the big storm. It is estimated that this wellhead-like cave was not collapsed by the "earthquake sea cannon" on the Trident. This sun-shooting artifact "楥木", like a big tree, is embedded with an arrow stone as an umbrella cover, and it is about to break through the sky. It turned out that this sun-shooting totem was rigorously laid out and had deep meanings, but now I feel that the haters of heaven have painstakingly built a fabulous scene, which is not just as simple as putting on a show, but also seems to be hiding some greater secret. Since the Shang Zhou Dynasty, some people have used the sun, moon, stars, and fish, dragons, and beasts to represent defense, judging from the broken copper ornaments on the sacred trees on the seabed, the sky window is in the position of the moon, I really can't guess why it is so arranged.

The fat man asked everyone: "Everyone, I said let's stop patronizing and marvel, didn't you see the water rise?" Shall we climb up this Dinghaishen needle, or dive underwater to find another way out? Without further ado, we must make up our minds as to what to do. ”

I saw that Ghost Island was a living gate that led directly to the sea, and I heard a loud rumbling sound all around, which was a signal that the tide was about to rise. After the tide level increases, this ghost island will also have to be submerged, so it is only too late to climb the sacred tree and leave the ruins, and wait until the rest of the water is returned to the sea.

I thought of this, and was about to make a decision, when Shirley Yang suddenly stopped me and said, "At first, I thought that the use of allia wood to make giant arrows was somewhat inconsistent with those ancient legends in Chinese civilization. Although the hating clan claims to be the descendant of the sun-shooting totem, the tree is a shade wood, and it is said that it is an ancient sacred tree, which can grow from the bottom of the sea to the moon palace, and the skylight-like cave is located in the moon position, which must be a symbol of the bright moon. There are very few records of the Hate Tian clan in the ancient books, but on the bronze tripod of the Zhou Mu Dynasty, there is a legend of the Hate Tian clan running to the moon after his death, this is probably not a totem of shooting the sun, but the underworld of the moon, which is used by the dead and undead, let's climb up from here, will there be danger? ”

Everyone's hearts sank, it turned out that "楥木" is not a war totem of "shooting the sun", but a symbol of the underworld of "running to the moon". In the coral spiral sea, due to the condensation of sea air, you can't see the starlight and moonlight at leisure. The white sky at the top of the "azale" is indeed like a full moon, this undersea sacred tree that sublimates the soul of the dead, it seems that it is only one step away from the bright moon, as long as you climb to the top of the "azale", you can leave this sea of chaos without an exit.

Uncle Ming saw the surrounding shark shadows on the water surface chaotic, diving in the sea is inevitable to fight with the sharks to the death, he has been on the sea for many years, naturally knows that it is powerful, the current situation is rather up and down, busy to everyone said: "Miss Yang is right, there is indeed an ancient legend of the Shenmu going to the moon to die on the sea, but even if it is a Shenmu with an unjust soul running to the moon underwater, it is now the road to heaven for us to put it to death and be born......" After that, he took the lead in climbing the slope of the ancient tree covered with the rough skin of dragon scales, and slowly climbed to the skylight above step by step, He still hummed the bitter tune of the egg people in his mouth to give himself courage, and he was as tragic as a wolf howling and crying: "My sea god, save my bitter man, I am not afraid that the sea is bottomless, but I am afraid that I will not be able to return home after death......"

I saw that Uncle Ming had already preempted the Shenmu that seemed to be able to pass through the bright moon, a person in his sixties, and he did not hesitate to say it, but his hands and feet were also serious, and he scolded him in his heart for being a self-centeredness who only cared about the individual and ignored the collective. But his actions also dispelled our concerns, and the whole team had to climb up to the exit in order to escape, but the scuba frog equipment could not be thrown, gritted his teeth and climbed up with weight, in case he could not get out of the top, he could also retreat into the water.

The second to climb the "azale" is the fat man, he carries scuba and a large bag of green heads, although the weight is heavy, but a piece is reluctant to throw down, the weight can be coped with for him, but the act of climbing the ladder has always been his weakness, things are forced to this point, and he has to let go, he closed his eyes, "poof" a few steps from the fallen giant tree to climb a few meters.

Everyone climbed up the tall "azale" with copper chains in a row, and they didn't know if this tens of millions of years old wood could withstand it. Leaning down and looking down, the surrounding sea water is tumbling, and countless bronze slaves can be seen on the surface of the water at the bottom of your feet, and many sharks are circling and swimming in the water, and most of the ruins of the entire circular ancient city have sunk into the water. I was worried that the fat man would fall down if he was too nervous, so I shouted to the fat man lying in front of me: "Commander Wang, open your eyes quickly, we are about to climb to the moon, and the little widow in the Moon Palace and her elixir of immortality are still waiting for you to receive them." ”

The fat man felt that the water under the giant tree was clear, and the cold wind poured down from the height was blowing in his ears, where did he dare to open his eyes, but he could still support his mouth, and shouted: "Hu Bayi, when has this happened, why have you started to break the water and lack virtue again." You don't know that this commander has such a little Yaxing in his life, and when he goes up to a high place, he likes to close his eyes and meditate and play a little deep, and we are like a mirror in our hearts, not only can I not see the little widow when I open my eyes, but I have to fall down to feed the fish, and when the time comes, I will have to pull your back with smoke and smoke......"

In the sound of the raging waves, the six people climbed to the top of the sacred tree under the sea, and by this time they were already oppressed by the heavy objects and their backs hurt, although their hands and feet were weak, no one dared to let go. You can feel the air on the sea surface blowing on your face, and a white sky is clearly visible. But at the bottom, it seems that the "azale" is very close to the exit, but when I get to the front, I realize that I don't want to go out without putting on my wings. Uncle Ming stood up tremblingly at the highest place, stood on tiptoe, and reached the edge of the cave without giving up, but it was too far away, and it was still more than ten meters away, and he suddenly felt disheartened, and almost fell off the sacred tree and planted it into the water.

I secretly scolded this carelessness, I didn't bring rope hook guns and flying tiger claws and other climbing equipment to the sea, although I was only a few steps away from the height at the moment, but I was anxious and had nothing to do. Only then did everyone understand that mortals are not Chang'e who has taken the medicine of immortality and soared lightly, and they are all flesh and blood, and their quality is heavy and turbid, even if they are the two sons of Confucius and Mencius, who are the most holy and sage, have the talent and learning of the heavens and latitudes, or are as brave as the overlord of Western Chu, and have the divine power of pulling the nine oxen from the ground, they are not immune to gravity, and they must not take a step away from the ground out of thin air, and the situation of "flying to the moon and running to the moon" will only exist in myths and legends.

I climbed onto the arrow stone embedded in the end of the wood, which was fossilized and still strong and strong after being washed away by the sea. I saw that the dragon fire in the rock formation forced the sea air to be hazy, and he was in mid-air, like a cloud on the soles of his feet, and dozens of meters below was a churning and turbulent chaotic water, and the water potential was gradually increasing. At this time, everyone's faces were full of sweat and moisture, and seeing that the road to the "Running to the Moon" was a dead end, they were all panting and helpless.

Uncle Ming still had a whimsical idea, maybe when the water rose, he would be able to swim out of the cave by the water gushing, Gu Chai and Duo Ling looked left and right, and they were also at a loss. I could hear the sound of the sky above me like cracks, whistling back and forth, thinking that it was just dawning outside, and it was the first time of the morning tide, and I was afraid that in a few moments the ghost island would be flooded by the rising tide, and the sea would pour in through this skylight, and if I stayed here, it would be washed to pieces by the torrent, and it seemed that I would have to go down from the waterway. When you look down, you can see a group of sharks and evil fish tumbling and rolling in the water, which is really terrifying, and there is no shelter from the groundwater, not to mention that you want to dive into the depths, but you are afraid that as soon as you enter the water, you will be eaten by a group of sharks.

At this time, Shirley Yang suddenly let out a "huh", and the inclined wooden body was covered with many arrow stones with a diameter of several meters long, like the canopy of an old tree. The arrow stone is a fossil of ancient sea creatures, and the shade wood is also an ancient tree that has been deposited on the seabed for thousands of years, and we can no longer judge whether the arrow stone embedded in the shade wood is naturally generated, or artificially embedded in the decoration, but in the sparse place of the arrow stone in the wooden body, there is a copper door, and the texture on the heavy copper plate is like scales, which is very close to the black scale cracks on the wooden pole, if it is not for the shirley poplar to stay on the slope of the wooden body, it is not easy to detect.

We didn't expect that close to the top of the "楥木" on the wooden body, there will be such a big copper door, wipe off the seaweed and other things on it with your hands, there are faint carvings of the submarine sacred wood connecting the sea water and the bright moon in the copper pattern, those flying dead bird totems that can also be seen in the ancient tomb of Yin Shang in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it proves that this is the tomb of an ancient tomb, and it suddenly reminds people that the "楥木" is hollow, there is a hidden passage inside, a passage that allows the dead to step on the sacred tree to run to the moon, and the passage must be the ancient tomb of the "Hate Tianshi". This is similar to the ancient Chinese tomb customs, leaving the "Heavenly Gate" at the entrance of the underground palace to let the tomb owner fly to the immortal, but the "Heavenly Gate" where the dead soul runs to the moon in order to seek the elixir of immortality is opened above the sacred tree that leads to the Moon Palace

At this time, the tide on the sea surface of the Shan "Hu Spiral" covered the sky, and the foggy sky suddenly darkened. Everyone knew that as soon as the tide passed the ghost island, it would immediately pour down, and the water under the "azale" was also rising. The sharks have eaten up the "deep-sea alfonsino" that was killed by a cluster grenade, and now they are looking for death when they enter the water. In front of the fangs of the sea, in a desperate dilemma, no one can be a hero, all of them are already like ashes, firmly holding on to the arrow stone at the top of the sacred tree at the bottom of the sea.

I saw that the bronze door was slightly sunk into the wood, and it was very tightly sealed, and I didn't know if the ancient tomb was filled with seawater, but I had no choice but to slip through the tomb to avoid the danger of rapids and sharks. I pointed to the bronze gate to Shirley Yang and said, "Since we can't go up to the Guanghan Palace, we can only go down to the cemetery." ”

Shirley Yang nodded, and then used the diving knife to pry the closed copper door, I backhanded out the "Water Dividing Ancient Sword" that the Hate Tian clan took the dragon's jaw, at this time, I didn't care how precious this bronze sword was, only as a crowbar, but the blade was sharp and tough, and after a few strangulations, I cut the chain tied to the copper door.

At this time, the sea water overhead had been poured down for a while, and the tide had not yet submerged Ghost Island, but under the surging tide, the tide had reached the top. Time is getting more and more urgent, Uncle Ming, Gu Chai and others are so anxious that they all squeeze over to help each other and work together to pry the pot door on the ** ancient tree. The heavy copper door has not been opened for thousands of years, and it is open at this moment, but there is no obscure atmosphere, just mildew, disgusting, revealing a wide passage in black pitch, extremely wide and deep, and bottomless, as if it goes straight to the underworld.

Shirley Yang drew a "inch of phosphorus" and threw it down, measured the air circulation, harmless to people, and immediately said to everyone: "There is no seawater in it, the air is safe, you can go down!" ”

As I spoke, the tide was on top of my head, and I didn't want to think about it anymore, so I pushed the people around me into the passage of the "楥木" one by one, followed them into it as well, and closed the bronze door again. In the darkness, I felt that the whole space was like a rolling thunderous sound, and the torrent of the sea water hit the bottom of the sea and the sacred wood made a loud sound, and it sounded even more deafening inside the big wood, and the muscles and bones of the whole body seemed to be about to be shattered, and the place where the copper door was broken by us was also constantly seeping water.

I didn't dare close my mouth wide open to prevent damage to my eardrums, and someone had already turned on a diving flashlight in the dark wooden cavern passage, which was not very effective in a waterless environment. But you can hang on to your body and free up your hands to do something else. I also twisted the diving flashlight on my chest, and saw that in this indescribably large wooden tomb, the surrounding wood was unusually dense and rough, and although it was quite damp, it was not slippery. The people were extremely heavy on their bodies, and it was easy to go up and down in the sloping tomb, so they had to pierce the wooden wall with diving knives, grit their teeth, and move slowly downward inch by inch.

I don't know how long I climbed down, the sound of the tide hitting the sacred tree was already small, I don't know if the water in the ruins was full, or the tide receded, but I just couldn't see the end of this tomb, the deeper the fishy tide became, the more pungent it became, and finally I heard the sound of rushing water, and the giant tree was in the end.

Shirley Yang freed up a hand and threw a phosphorescent bullet down, the light reflected the water, and it was only ten meters away from the water, and below was a pool of secluded water, far and near. I asked everyone to tear open the inflatable rings of the two inflatable rucksacks, throw them on the water, and then fall into the water one after another, struggling to swim to the side of the air bag to breathe.

I looked up in the bright phosphorescent light, and at the bottom of the huge black tower-like tree, I fell into a cave formed by the remains of an ancient coral reef, and the bottom area was filled with water that I don't know how deep, and the bronze door led to the surface of the cave, and the hole was filled with tortoiseshell keels as large as a millstone, and the bone armor was densely packed, all of which were ancient symbols and marks for divination, but they had been immersed in the sea for so many years that most of them were blurred and difficult to identify. On the reef not far away, there is a skull of an ancient creature similar to a giant whale, and there are dozens of raised human figures in the skull, which may be the place where the corpse is parked in the ancient tomb.

I subconsciously touched the diving bag, and then I remembered that I didn't bring the "black donkey's hooves", but there was a cold and hard "Qin Wang Bone Mirror", and I suddenly felt at ease. I wanted to see the depth of the water, but I found that the index on the dial had reached the head, and I don't know if it was broken, or the water in the coral hole was unfathomable.

When the fat man came down just now, he was so frightened that his legs and stomach cramped, but when he saw that there were dead people in this strange ancient tomb, he suddenly came to love again, and pulled everyone to go to the water to see what was going on. I saw that the pile of whalebone fossils was just enough for everyone to rest, so I beckoned everyone to swim over and unload their equipment to catch their breath.

The crowd climbed up to the reef exhausted, and saw a fish paste lamp made of dried mermaid corpses poured with grease. The merman's ointment does not dry up for thousands of years, the ignition point is very low, and it can burn as long as there is a little air, which can just replace the flashlight. Uncle Ming immediately raised the "fish candle" and lit it, shining on several dead corpses in the whalebone, and muttered to himself: "Lose your old mother, there is really an ancient tomb of the Hate Tian clan in the South China Sea, these genuine undersea zombies are worth a lot of money......"

We are under the fish candle, has not yet seen the blurred face of the ancient corpse, but first found that the tortoise shell in front of the whalebone, there is a mark of "earthquake up and down", because we have seen it two or three times on the sea, even Uncle Ming and the fat man have recognized, this is the "shock of a hundred miles" hexagram, in the ruins of the repeated appearance of this ancient hexagram, what is the deep meaning?
