Whether our guess is correct or not, if the legendary Jieshi Golden Palace is really the bottom of the East China Sea, then this vast ocean has become an insurmountable natural barrier, we rest at the fisherman's house near the seaside for one night, and the next morning we met the fishermen who wanted to go out to sea to fish, Gu Anqi obediently asked the fishermen to promise to take us to the reefs in the sea to see.

The fisherman is an old man, the years have carved a deep imprint on his face, every wrinkle is full of vicissitudes and hard work, the old man's surname is Zhang, because he is the fourth, let us call him Zhang Siye, there is a lovely child on the boat with him, is the grandson of Zhang Siye, he does not go to sea to make a living when he is old, and he can just sprinkle a few dishes on the net table for a day.

Zhang Siye may have gone out to sea to fish every day when he was young, and his skin was tanned into a tanned bronz, although he was at this age and the hand holding the oars was not ambiguous at all, many years of experience made him know the sea area well, and soon found a school of fish and a few nets to pull up the fish and shrimp countless, the child danced in the net to choose his favorite shrimp and crab, entertaining himself innocently, maybe he was infected by a child, even Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi were also childlike, squatting on the boat and teasing the panicked fish, shrimp and crabs.

By noon, Zhang Siye's fish basket was already full of shrimp, crabs and all kinds of marine fish, and he took us to the three reefs that stood in the sea not far from the shore.

"Cao Mengde has been here before, and he has written articles about these three reefs, and our ancestors have lived on this shore for generations, and we don't know what is rare." Zhang Siye said to us while rowing. "I see that you are here to see the sea view, come to the night, what can these broken stones look like."

"Late?" Yue Qianling raised her head and asked with a smile. "You always say that you have other scenery to see sooner?"

"It's useless to come early, don't say it's you, even I haven't seen it, have you seen it." Zhang Siye stretched out a finger and pointed to the high platform on the shore where we stood yesterday. "I heard the old man of the ancestors say that there was a big house on it a long time ago, it is said that Qin Shi Huang let him build, that is amazing, even if you walk around the house in a morning, it is said that Qin Shi Huang came here to see the sea repair, and he did evil, and I don't know how many people died."

As soon as Zhang Siye spoke, almost everyone looked at me with a smile, Wen Zhuo moved his body to me, caught a crab that slipped through the net, and asked with a smile.

"Emperor, what did you think in your head at that time, you can see such a big battle in the sea, you say...... If you're going to get married, what are you going to do? ”

I smiled weakly, pushed Wen Zhuo away and looked up and asked.

"Fourth Master Zhang, why did this big house disappear later?"

"Have you heard Meng Jiangnu crying about the Great Wall, the Great Wall made her cry, not to mention this big house." Zhang Siye put away the boat and just stopped on the edge of the reef, pointed to the reef and said. "This stone is called Jiang Nu Stone, Qin Shi Huang repaired this palace and killed a lot of people, Meng Jiang Nu sat here and cried night and night, finally! The house collapsed with tears. ”

I rubbed my forehead and cried and laughed but I couldn't let Zhang Siye find out, his explanation made me not know how to continue the words, Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi looked at me like this, covered their mouths and laughed out loud, obviously it was a story made up in the market, and it was vivid from his mouth, if it wasn't for the fact that I was looking for Jieshi Palace, I really wanted to ask Zhang Siye, how did Meng Jiangnu become a stone, I guess he would also tell me the head is the Tao.

Xiao Lianshan took out the stone he had prepared before getting on the boat from his body and threw it into the sea, and there was no bottom with a pop.

"Brother, I'm good at water, if according to what you said, the Jieshi Palace is here, you should be able to see some clues if you dive down."

"You be careful, don't dive too deep, if I'm not mistaken, this outcropping rock is just the top of a mountain, and the bottom should be unfathomable, just look at the terrain and come up, don't go too deep." I nodded and said earnestly in his ear.

Xiao Lianshan took off his clothes to reveal a strong muscle, Zhang Siye took out a cigarette stick and held it at the corner of his mouth, looking at Xiao Lianshan's posture and asked in surprise.

"What do you want to do, young man?"

"The sea is not in a hurry here, I haven't dived for a long time, go down and do activities." Xiao Lianshan replied with a disapproving smile.

"Don't ......"

Before Zhang Siye's words were finished, Xiao Lianshan's whole person had already jumped into the sea with a pop, and then everyone on our boat heard the call from Xiao Lianshan's mouth at the same time.

Ah!

We all stood up and looked at the sea nervously, Xiao Lianshan floated his head from below, his mouth full of mud and sand spit out for a long time before he spit it out, his forehead was red and swollen, he was grinning and rubbing his hands, Gu Anqi asked heartily while lying on the side of the boat.

"What's wrong? Hit the reef below? ”

"It's not...... I was put down by the stones below. Xiao Lianshan wiped the seawater from his face and replied.

"Lianshan, does it matter?" I asked nervously.

Xiao Lianshan shook his head, but he didn't mean to continue diving, I stared at him for a long time, looking at Xiao Lianshan's blank smirk, even Gu Anqi didn't understand.

"If it's okay, let's go down and have a look."

"I can't go down." Xiao Lianshan held on to the edge of the boat and smiled.

"Can't go down?!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Xiao Lianshan stood up from the water, half of his body was exposed to the sea, and he looked helpless when he let go of the edge of the boat, and I looked at Xiao Lianshan in the sea for a moment.

"You jumped before I finished speaking, the water level here is very shallow, run here to dive, you are fateful, there are reefs down here, if you hit it, it's not a joke." Zhang Siye saw that Xiao Lianshan was safe and sound, and put the cigarette stick in the corner of his mouth. "Hurry up and get on the boat, although the water level here is shallow, but the water is very cold, don't look at your strong body, you will probably not be able to stand it after soaking for a while"

Wen Zhuo pulled Xiao Lianshan up from the sea, I sat on the boat in a daze, Wen Zhuo and I both deduced that this Jieshi should be the top of a certain mountain, and it was submerged by the sea to form the current Jieshi, if this inference is correct, then there should be a deep trench under the sea surface, and the legendary Jieshi Palace should also be at the bottom of the deep sea.

But Xiao Lianshan actually stood in the sea, his feet were shallow sea sand, if the Jieshi Palace was really below, it would be even more troublesome, without these sea sands, he could still find a way to dive, if the Jieshi Palace was flooded by the sea sand, it would be impossible to find the Jieshi Palace even if he dug for a lifetime.

Xiao Lianshan's whole body began to tremble not long after he got on the boat, Zhang Siye looked angry and funny when he looked at him, rowed to the edge of an island with a cigarette stick, got off the boat with a fish basket, and said to the child next to him.

"Go, get some red grass for him to eat."

The child nodded and ran to the shore to look carefully, Zhang Siye took the firewood from the boat and skillfully lit a bonfire, Xiao Lianshan sat next to him for a long time before he came to his senses, Zhang Siye put the sea fish on the fire and roasted, it seems that Xiao Lianshan said a few times.

"The water here is yin and boneless, don't look at the shallows, many fishermen are not drowned when they fall, they are all frozen to death, you are fortunate to have someone next to you today, if there is no one, it won't be long before you will have cramps."

"Eat." The child came back from the beach, stretched out his fat little hand, and handed the red grass with three leaves to Xiao Lianshan innocently.

I saw Wen Zhuo glance at the red grass, it looked a little strange, but it quickly calmed down again, Xiao Lianshan put the grass in his mouth and chewed it a few times, and soon his body stopped shaking, touched the child's head and asked with a smile.

"What did you give me to eat, why didn't it get cold?"

"Red grass, it's not cold to eat." As he spoke, the child put the remaining seaweed in his mouth and swallowed it.

The child ran to the beach to play by himself, Wen Zhuo seemed to think of something, stood up and went to find the child, I saw that Xiao Lianshan was fine, and his attention returned to Zhang Siye.

"Have your ancestors been fishing here for generations?"

"The Zhang family is the surname here, and the ancestors of the Spring and Autumn Yan Kingdom are here." Zhang Siye lit a cigarette and took a puff and replied.

"Then you must know a lot about here." Yue Qianling sat down next to Zhang Siye and asked with a smile. "Are there any rumors about this stone?"

"What kind of story can a few broken stones have, and it's rare that you haven't seen it, and we don't bother to look at it." Zhang Siye wiped the spit on the corner of his mouth and said. "I have to say that there are rumors that there are not nothing, I heard the ancestors say that there are giant Jiao under the sea in the pre-Qin Dynasty, which is very big, and can turn over the river and the sea to make waves, I don't know how many people to eat every year, and there is no sound after a long time."

For Zhang Siye, who can depict Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall, the rumors he told don't seem to have much reference value for me, and I didn't gain much after asking for a long time.

"Have you ever heard of a palace under the sea?" Gu Anqi asked curiously.

"Yes!" Zhang Siye took off the cigarette stick from his mouth and replied seriously. "This is really there, I often heard the old man Ben talk when I was a child, some fishermen went out to sea to fish, and when the boat overturned in a storm, they fell into the bottom of the sea, and basically no one could come back, but there were also a few big lives and picked up a life, and these people said that they had seen the palace at the bottom of the sea."

I, Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi were all stunned, and at the same time looked at Zhang Siye nervously and asked.

"What kind of palace?"

"Maybe, there are very few people who see it, but everyone says it differently, saying that it is very dangerous below, and then I summarized a few sentences, I forgot about it, it seems to be ......"

"What is it?" I was so excited that I was about to stand up.

"Don't rush, I'll think about it." Zhang Siye frowned, took a puff of cigarette and said. "It seems to be something, the sea of fire icebergs roll up the curtain of the sky, take the Jiao over the river to cross the moat, Pangu stands on the Ling Mountain, the sun and the moon are in the same sky...... Yes, these four sentences are summarized according to the descriptions of the survivors, but no one understands what they mean. ”

"Why doesn't anyone understand? Can't the people who came back tell what it looks like? I asked, surprised.

"The man is back, but the soul is not back." Zhang Siye took a puff of cigarette and replied unhurriedly. "The person who came back alive seemed to be hooked, like a fool, he didn't respond to anything, and when he finally woke up, he said a few words intermittently, and he didn't understand much."
