"Oh, I thought it was some kind of monster." Lawrence laughed.

This guy, the animal along the way, I haven't seen it and I've seen it running around, to be honest, the environment here is simply too beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the clear water and blue sky, the people are outstanding, by the way, there are not many people here now, even if Qin Shihuang is buried here, I believe it.

Since everyone was in such a good mood, Wang Jinwu told us about the legend of Kanas Lake.

Wang Jinwu is on crutches, walking neither fast nor slow, it is rare to ripple in such a good environment.

However, on this day, under the crisp air, clear water and blue sky, although our mood has improved greatly, but this is the beginning of our nightmare, and there is killing behind the flowers.

Wang Jinwu said with a smile, "You may not know that there was once a legend here, which was also about Genghis Khan. ”

Murry was surprised, "There are so many legends in China, and there are legends here. ”

"Then you don't know, according to legend, a long time ago, Genghis Khan went west, passed through Kanas Lake, saw such a beautiful place, and decided to stay here for a while to rest and recuperate. After drinking the water from the lake, Genghis Khan felt very thirsty and asked his generals what kind of water it was. A wise general replied: "This is Kanaeus (Mongolian means water of khan)." All the soldiers replied in unison, "This is the water of the Khan." Genghis Khan said, "Then call this lake Kanaeus." So in the legend of the Tuvans, they are the descendants of Genghis Khan. After Genghis Khan's death, his body sank in Kanas Lake, and the Tuvans, as Genghis Khan's personal soldiers, stayed in Kanas Lake and guarded the royal tomb for generations. ”

"Oh, and there is such a legend, it seems that we are bound to win this time." My mood is gradually getting rid of it.

Just as we were walking along the lakeside, ahead of us, we spotted the waves. "Damn, why are there such big waves, there won't be any monsters." When Tiezi said this, it was really a bit evil. "Don't talk nonsense, there's no monster out there." Although he said so, something was still wrong in his heart, and the wave rolled and pressed down.

I looked closely with my binoculars, and there was nothing on the surface of the water except ripples.

"Tiezi, you can't be mistaken."

"How come, I obviously watched a huge wave set off in front of me, and it disappeared in an instant, maybe it's some big fish." Tiezi touched his neck, a little uncertain.

Wang Jinwu knew that Kanas Lake was a crater lake, and the nutrient content in it was very low, and it had always been thought that there could be no large creatures that would make such big waves, and if it really was, what was it.

"Be careful, everyone, don't get bitten by bugs."

"This season, the insects haven't come out yet, Mr. Wang, you think too much." Lawrence patted the dust off his body. Wang Jinwu ignored him.

"You see, there's a deer drinking in front of you." Xiaodong pointed that way.

I pulled out my binoculars, "Oh, yes, it looks like it's spring, and we all have to come out to find something to eat and drink." "Our inner vigilance has been relaxed by the presence of deer.

Suddenly, something strange happened again.

"Look at that, it's really a big wave." This time I was looking at a deer with a telescope and I accidentally spotted it. Because it is far away, the waves are not very obvious in our eyes, but in the telescope, they are so clear.

The waves were moving forward, extremely fast, and in the binoculars, I saw a dorsal fin about a meter long running through it, and a red monster swimming forward.

At this moment, everyone raised their binoculars to observe carefully under my alarm, Wang Jinwu's face was heavy, "It seems that the legend here is true." ”

We don't understand what other legends are here, could it be that this underwater thing Wang Jinwu already knows.

The distance between the waves and the deer is getting closer and closer, the fawn may be too thirsty, and after drinking for a long time, I didn't find anything coming, just when the deer felt something faintly wrong, a huge wave snapped in the lake, a red body was hung with fish scales, and a tail rolled the fawn into the water, and a cloud of red suddenly appeared in the water, and the deer didn't even have a chance to jump, and sank to the bottom.

"Damn, monsters." Where have we ever seen such a ferocious beast, even a crocodile in front of it, it is not worth mentioning, in the telescope only saw that it was a red monster, and I did not know that this monster was too terrible.

Mu Li put down the binoculars, didn't speak for a long time, and finally held back a few words, "Amen, how many demons are there in this land of China, Wang Jinwu, I am the boss, I order, let's turn back, we will all be buried in the end of such an expedition, your salary will be paid, let's withdraw." ”

Lawrence and Sain looked at Wang Jinwu with longing to go home, "I agree." ”

Xiaodong, Tiezi and Matt all listened to me, I didn't speak, they didn't dare to make a good opinion.

"Wang Jinwu, let's go, we can't waste our lives in vain." Wang Jinwu's murderous eyes at the moment, "Let's go now, we've all reached this point, you actually said to retreat, Luosang, Shanzi, the old cat, the chimney They lost their lives here for this expedition, you said go now, are you worthy of them?" Wang Jinwu finally couldn't help but roar.

Murry looked at me expectantly, because they all follow the minority and obey the majority, and if I agree to go, Wang Jinwu can't help it.

"Golden Dragon, let's withdraw, we really can't stay here, there are killing opportunities everywhere here." Wang Jinwu didn't look at me, but at the lake.

It's hard for me to make a choice, I have two brothers, Wang Jinwu's two brothers are buried here, if they really leave here, they will be condemned for the rest of their lives, this is what I brought them here.

"Mr. Wang, let's go." I looked at the sky, leaned on my stick, and walked forward.

"Crazy, all crazy, they want to die, you go, I won't accompany you, let's go." I thought that Murray had taken Lawrence and Sain to this point, and that they would never take a step forward, and that they would go home.

Lawrence and Sain were a little condemned in their hearts, "Is it really okay for us to be like this?" Mr. Wang said, we will arrive at the indicators on the map soon, and they have already reached this point, even if we withdraw, do you think we can retreat without Mr. Wang's guidance. ”

Murray thought for a long time and calmed down, Lawrence was right, it was difficult for Murray to get out alone, and no one knew what would happen halfway.

"Alright, let's die." As he spoke, the three of them caught up with us again.

Wang Jinwu didn't have a good face, "What's the matter, I figured it out again and followed us." ”

Murry sighed, "I just hope that we don't have any more accidents, otherwise, when my story reaches the United States, we will laugh off my big teeth." ”

"Hmph, you have the ability to find some people in your United States." Matt retorted, "It's all at this juncture, and you're still thinking about your reputation, I really don't know what you're thinking about." ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, since you're here, let's do it." Wang Jinwu took out the map and looked around, "That's not right." ”

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I already told you this coordinate just now, you help me find it, I looked for it a few times, but I couldn't find it." Wang Jinwu took out his binoculars and continued to search.

I also took out my binoculars, but there were lakes all in sight, and where the road was on the map.

"This map, what does it mean that this line has a circle here?" Wang Jinwu is also worried about this, why can't this map be understood here.

Murry opened the kettle and took a sip, and when he saw that we had no goal, he complained, "There must be something wrong with the map, it is difficult to make it possible to still be underwater." Murry said casually.

"Oh, underwater?" Wang Jinwu and I reflected it at the same time.

Seeing our reaction, Murry instantly became nervous and quickly waved his hand, "Nonono, I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously." ”

Wang Jinwu and I carefully studied the map and followed this line to the middle of the lake, which must be the dividing line of the waterway.

"Could it be that there is a cat under the lake?"

"Mr. Wang, this underwater tomb, I have been a golden dragon for so many years, but I have only heard of it, but I have not explored it, and I don't know if it is true or false, besides, we don't have diving equipment."

"I can't do it so much, we must try." Wang Jinwu seems to have made up his mind.

"Two immortals, I'm just casually talking, you won't really take it seriously, right?" Murry didn't want to go into the water even if he was killed, it was too scary down there.

"Mr. Murry, thank you for the reminder." I smiled.

Murry pumped his mouth, "What nonsense am I talking about." ”

Wang Jinwu proposed, "Let's rest for a while, then go cut down some trees to make a raft, and then go to the middle of the lake to find out the situation." ”

"That's all there is to it."

"By the way, Mr. Wang, judging from your expression just now, you seem to know that there is a water monster here, can you tell me about it." Murray loves to hear stories, "Yes, yes, listen, listen." ”

"In the upper part of this Kanas lake, there is an ethnic group called the Tuvans, as I just mentioned, they currently have only about 100,000 people in the world, most of them are distributed in Mongolia and Russia, and this place is recorded as a total of one or two thousand people, I estimate that there will be fewer and fewer, these people live by grazing, according to legend, this ethnic group is a branch of the Mongol people, and they are also the descendants of Genghis Khan, and their mission here is to protect the tomb of Genghis Khan. However, for 800 years, the number of tomb robbers who wanted to come here to steal Genghis Khan's army was too large, and the Tuvans rose up to resist, but they were killed, and over time, the people who knew the secrets of the imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty were all driven out, and the Tuvans had no choice, and the Tuvan leaders secretly used witchcraft to raise water monsters in the lake to prevent people who came to steal and excavate. ”

"They call the monsters in this lake the lake saints, because those old people always die violently, after a long time, that thing is uncontrolled, threatening the property of the Tuvans, but let the people who come to rob the tomb flee from the wind, I once saw a document left by the Tuvans, their descendants once captured the lake saints, because the lake saints always eat the herdsmen's sheep in flocks, they made a big iron hook at a time, with the head of the ox as the bait, the cowhide as the rope, the other end of the rope with 20 horses to pull the horse. After waiting for a day, the lake monster finally took the bait, and they drove the horses to pull, and after walking a short distance, the 20 horses were so tired that they foamed at the mouth, and they had to wrap the leather rope around several large trees, and as soon as they were tied, the rope broke, and the first attempt failed. On another occasion, more than a dozen cows were slaughtered, a large net was made out of cowhides, and five small boats were used to drag the large net around the lake, but the boat sank and the net broke, and the operation ended in failure. ”

When Murry heard this story, his anxiety intensified, "Then it's not enough for us to go and stuff people's teeth." ”

Wang Jinwu once talked to a Tuvan man, and there was indeed such a thing, saying that one year, a young calf was grazing by the lake, but it was swallowed by a big red fish.

"The storyteller said that when he was young, there were a lot of fish in the lake, and they were huge, and he had seen a large red fish of almost two meters. In winter, on the surface of the lake, open an ice cave, and fish will jump out of the hole. In the early winter of the 70s of the last century, three herders drove a group of horses from the production team to prepare to pass through the lake from the lower reaches of the frozen Kanas Lake. After a few days, the lake froze again, and several horses were clearly visible under the ice. The herders smashed the ice and salvaged a few dead horses. The rest of the horses were gone. In the spring of the following year, the ice thawed and the river flowed again, but not a single bone of the horse that fell into the lake surface, nor did it appear in the lower reaches of the river. ”
