Chapter 259: The Water of the Crater

Ke Xiangu spoke, and asked Gagong to give Di Wei a little more than that. The lama nodded and began to recite some Tibetan scriptures. We know very little about Buddhism, and Kagong is sung in Tibetan. While we were reciting the Kagong Sutra, we began to discuss the next journey.

Ke Xiangu said: "Actually, we are very close to that crater, you see. "Saying this, Ke Xiangu pointed with her hand, and there was a place above the snowy mountain where we were high enough to have a large amount of steam. Because we didn't pay attention, we thought it was fog. Ke Xiangu explained that that place is the phenomenon of the crater directly steaming snow because it is too hot.

A few of us nodded, and at this time the Kagong Lama was also overdone. A few of us got everything we had and set off quickly towards the crater without stopping. The snow still falls, but it's not so cloudy. Yang Laolai could see the surrounding mountains, and quickly determined the road with the method of gold and acupoints.

A few of us were also in a hurry, so we hurried away. It didn't take long to walk and we arrived in front of the crater of Garenpo Peak. By this time, the snow had stopped, and a huge amount of water vapor was steaming in front of us. I asked Ke Xiangu, "Where is my grandfather?" ”

Ke Xiangu said: "When he left, he only told me about this place, but where is it...... I have to ask the old man. When Yang Laolai heard this, he said: "I said Ke Xiangu, don't mess with me, how do I know where the Dragon King is?" Zhao Er smiled when he heard it and said, "What Ke Xiangu said is reasonable. ”

A few of us still didn't understand, and they explained that King Ye Long must have come to this place because of some big tomb or treasure land. These places can be difficult to find, but we have a captain here. When Yang Laolai heard this, he suddenly realized, and felt that he was going to divide the gold and fix the acupoints. Sure enough, I quickly found an entrance covered by a dense forest, and sure enough, there were a few numbers left by my grandfather on it. Looking at the marks left by my grandfather, I suddenly felt extremely relieved.

Finally, this time there was no trip in vain, grandpa must be here. As we walked into that entrance, a huge mountain lake suddenly appeared. It seems that the temperature of the crater is relatively high, and there is a lot of snow here all year round, which is why there is such a large lake. And because of the high temperature here, not only did the vegetation not wither, but we also saw green that we hadn't seen for a long time. Tall trees grow neatly along the lake's edge.

Zhao Er and Ke Xiangu quickly began to change the diving equipment after seeing it, and I was still stunned and didn't move. Yang Lao Lai asked a few of us to put it on quickly, and the big head asked dementedly, since it is water below, will it have frozen. Yang Laolai said that you can rest assured that the water in it will never freeze, this is a volcanic crater.

The big head was still trying to ask, but was suddenly interrupted by a burst of laughter next to him, Xiao Jiuye reluctantly put on a diving suit, he was very short, and he looked a bit like a freak after putting on a diving suit. Zhao Erhe crooked his mouth and looked at Xiao Jiuye and laughed loudly, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it with the big head. Xiao Jiuye glanced at me and scolded: "You guys are laughing at a fart"

After saying that, I put on my headgear, and I couldn't help laughing when I saw Xiao Jiuye's appearance, I was so happy. But what exactly is this diving suit, why is it so big?

After we all changed into wetsuits, Yang Laolai asked each of us to find a big rock to hold and put a wolf's tooth flashlight or something on the waist of the wetsuit, I knew that this was because the water in this deep pool could be very deep, and there was no way to dive smoothly by manpower alone.

Yang Lao Lai walked to the side of the big lake, carried a large rock for me, and then he picked up another one himself, and waited for all of us to get ready. I went to see Ke Xiangu, thinking that she was so old, she had been holding that cigarette pouch in her hand, and how could she hold a stone. Who knew that she didn't pick up anything at all, still holding the cane.

I was still thinking about what was going on, so Yang Lao Lai shouted: "Get ready, then go down." After saying that, he was the first to jump down. I closed my eyes and jumped down. Because the stone is heavy, I also fall very quickly, 'Boom.' A few clicks, and a few of them also dived to the surface.

Before I could think anything in the water, I was surrounded by water on all sides, and sank, I took a few big breaths into the oxygen cylinder, holding the rocks tightly in my hands, and saw a few flashlights dangling in the water not far away, because in the water, we were wearing diving suits, so no one could hear clearly, so we could only rely on the simple cleaning we had discussed before.

After everyone fell into the water, Yang Lao Lai checked it, and the number of people was naturally quite large. However, Zhao Erye, who had just recovered his health, clenched his fists and stretched out his thumb, which means OK, everyone is together.

Ke Xiangu swam to the middle and poked down a few times with her hand with a flashlight, meaning that we should follow him downstream. In fact, he didn't need to say it, because he was holding rocks and adding a big backpack on his back, so he couldn't go downstream.

The pitch-black water is very turbid, you can see a lot of white fine things under the light of the flashlight, it should be plankton, in addition, the water is very cold, fortunately, the insulation effect of the diving suit is good, otherwise, let alone diving, once you fall into the water, the whole body will freeze hard.

I don't know how long it has been sinking, the brain has no concept of time, the body is constantly sinking, the surroundings are too dark, this kind of darkness is probably the darkest I have ever seen, except for a few small light sources of flashlights around me, I can't see anything clearly around at all.

After a long time, I saw the barometer on the wrist of the diving suit, and the number on it showed that we had already dived to a depth of more than 3,000 meters, and I was very surprised to see this number. At the same time, I also felt that there was a lot of pressure to squeeze myself, it turned out that Yang Laolai wanted us to each hold a big stone for this reason, and yes, if there was no such stone, how could I not dive into such a deep place with my own person.

But due to the rapid dive, I was a little dizzy, and I was already experiencing severe discomfort in my eyes. I don't know how long I'm going to have to sneak around, but although breathing is not a problem for me, it seems that I am carrying a few very large rocks on my back, which makes me panic.

I saw Yang Lao Lai and them swim a little in front of me, a very short man pointed to the front, it should be Xiao Jiuye, I couldn't see his face clearly, I looked in the direction of his finger, and saw some bright lights in front of me, but I really couldn't see what it was. Ke Xiangu waved at us, meaning to swim over together, they were all relatively agile, and only I followed behind.

When we swam to the front, I saw two very strange bronze statues, these gods were very tall, about ten meters high. But I haven't seen anyone at work. In addition, the color of this water area is a bit greenish, which may cause the bronze to oxidize and rust at the bottom of the water, causing the water to turn green as well.

The two tall bronze statues were standing, staring at us uninvited guests with wide eyes, and their mouths were open as if they were grinning. In the midst of them was a bronze gate, on which were carved many small gods, each with a different look, but their eyes were also watching us, and I felt a little numb when I saw this, what the hell was Grandpa doing here, how did it feel like he had entered an infernal hell.

There are two rows of large iron furnaces under the gate, and the light I saw before came out of this iron furnace, because... There was a class above each iron furnace, and in the hole of the partition, we actually saw the fire. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this, as the so-called 'fire and water are incompatible', and it takes a lot of oxygen to burn.

But this is a deep lake, how can there be oxygen? In the green waters, I saw that the light of the fire seemed to burn unaffected, and the fire was very large, as it usually was on land, and as I approached the iron furnaces, I could feel a wave of heat, and it seemed that the fire here must be real, and it would not be a phosphorous fire or anything like that.
