Chapter Seventy-Eight: Immortal Residence in the Purple Mansion
The closer he got to the half-moon that was upside down like half a bowl, Man Jianghong felt that the sea water gradually turned from bone-chilling to cool, and his frozen body became flexible. ... , however, the feeling of falling into the deep sea is still uncomfortable. Looking around, without support, it seems that the whole world has disappeared, and a person is tired and lonely in endless wanderings.
Fortunately, half moon is a hope!
There was no strong convection of seawater, indicating that the temperature difference was not too large. But the human body is so peculiar, the perception of temperature comes from the speed of heat exchange with the environment. Therefore, it will be cool to turn on the air conditioner at 26 degrees in the hot summer, and it will be warm if the air conditioner is also turned on at 26 degrees in the winter. When you touch the iron, it feels cold, and when you touch the wood, it feels warm.
In addition to the increase in temperature, Man Jianghong also felt that the closer to the half moon, the clearer and more open the field of vision, and the sea water was not as viscous as before.
This doesn't seem right!
Generally speaking, the closer to the deep sea, the lower the temperature, the greater the pressure, the higher the salt content, and the density of the sea water increases. Excluding special cases such as volcanic eruptions, the water here should be more viscous.
And there is still more than a kilometer away, and there is no trace of any animal activity. It was as if there was an anomalous danger zone near the light source, and the demons were easy to dispel.
It's just that he can't care so much, squeezes out the last trace of energy left in his body, and rushes forward bravely.
When the distance was only more than five hundred meters, he could see very clearly, the inverted half-moon was like a hemispherical light curtain, and a door was faintly exposed inside.
He was overjoyed, but he was horrified to find that more than a hundred meters to the right of the ball of light, a thousand-year-old tree that seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea wriggled and poked out of the sand, and there was a circle of suction cups attached to it, which looked like a huge and incomparable tentacle.
What the hell?
There won't be such a big octopus in the world, and the water depth of several thousand meters can't squash you?
Something is wrong, how come the sand and sea water are not stirred by the tentacles?
He could only last thirty seconds.
So when I saw the hideous tentacles quietly poking out of the bottom of the sea, the strange and terrifying feeling flashed in my mind, and I didn't have time to think more.
He choked the bruises on his forehead, almost fainted, forcibly suppressed the urge to breathe in his body, and rushed towards the door of hope without stopping.
Suddenly, from the darkness on the left side of the ball of light, another ghostly thing rushed out, agile and agile, without bringing out the slightest flow of water agitation, as if flying in the void.
It was a fish-shaped monster more than fifteen meters long, with a black back and a white belly, a towering dorsal fin like a sharp scythe, and its small eyes glowed with a cold glow, staring at it gloomily.
Damn, you're a killer whale, not a fish, how can you stay in the deep sea?
Do your mom and dad know you're so a**?
Man Jianghong quickly retracted the corner of his eye, didn't want to look at it, and frantically rushed to the light curtain.
Great white sharks and killer whales are both overlords of the sea, one fights alone and the other lives in groups. Great white sharks have sharp teeth that are puncture-type. The teeth of killer whales are cut, short, thick, and blunt, and they are mainly torn after biting their prey. Therefore, it is possible to get out if you are bitten by a great white shark, and after being bitten by a killer whale, you basically want to escape.
The little dragon monarch in Dongting Lake, this time the diving speed of the desperate sprint can completely break the world record, but how can he beat the ultimate overlord of the food chain in the sea. I saw that the killer whale was like a death shadow flying over the ground when the goshawk swooped, and it enveloped Man Jianghong in a few seconds, and the huge mouth bit its entire body horizontally, and its head seemed to be thrown on both sides.
A wonderful scene happened.
Knowing that his white teeth had penetrated someone's body, he still broke out of the orca's mouth, intact, as if he had only passed through a shadow.
Finally, he hit his head on the light curtain and spewed several mouthfuls of blood.
The light curtain seemed to be an extremely viscous fluid, and blood splattered in it, causing violent shocks immediately. A radius of several meters was all dyed red, revealing a faint blood light. In a breath, the light curtain twisted and flickered several times, forcing the blood back into the water. And Man Jianghong's body seemed to be lying on top of the loose silt, and the soft collapse slowly sank inside.
His hands and legs spasmed at a very high frequency, spreading straight out, as if on a snow-white computer screen, lying on his stomach with a big "Tai" character!
The fierce killer whale kept chasing Man Jianghong and biting like a futile shadow. When the light curtain suddenly forced the blood water out and spread out in the seawater, covering its head.
The killer whale suddenly froze and did not move, and its entire head turned into a cloud of "thick smoke" in an instant, spreading upward. And its body is like a wood sculpture ignited by a slow fire, which is firmly melted inch by inch and turns into smoke.
Ten minutes passed, and outside the light curtain, only a sleek and miserable skeleton remained.
The "bone whale" was finally able to move again, shook its empty skull, swung its pitiful tail like a broken fan, turned its ribs sluggishly, and swam slowly into the darkness, which was a world of difference from the agility and swiftness of Fang Cai.
The tentacles that wriggled out of the sand crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters as soon as they stretched, hovering above the ball of light, and he was about to pull it down towards Man Jianghong, but as if he suddenly smelled an extremely dangerous breath, he was frightened and retracted like lightning.
When the killer whale's ** turned into smoke and rose upward, the tentacles seemed to be unable to resist the temptation, and dodged into the fog and secretly absorbed.
The killer whale dementia was motionless, gradually turning into white bones, and the courage of the tentacles became more and more, and finally swept away the fog like a giant dragon absorbing water, and even the wisps that drifted dozens of meters away were also pulled back.
The color of the tentacles has become darker, and the light brown has a brown-red texture, like a copper ingot that has faded away the rust, revealing gorgeous and thick. The two rows of suction cups are more white and moist, like two rows of jade jue neatly arranged.
It lazily waved in the air and retracted back under the sand.
The sand was silent, and not a single grain was stirred, as if it were just a long shadow that had disappeared.
It was as if Man Jianghong, who was hitting a pile of cotton, didn't know that the killer whale that was fiercely chasing behind him had become a beautiful bone specimen, and he only felt that the light was full of light in all directions, everywhere.
The moment he touched the light curtain, he felt a sudden blur in front of him, as if he had crashed into a white fog composed of extremely thick and thick light.
He couldn't hold it anymore, and after an impatient inhalation, the sea water poured into his mouth and nose and the blood in his lungs were violently spurted out.
After several mouthfuls of blood and a few rapid breaths, he gritted his teeth and slowed down.
Just like a diver rising from the deep sea, the sudden decrease in pressure will cause the residual gas in the blood and alveoli to expand rapidly, and even burst the blood vessels and lungs, which is not easy to play.
This light curtain composed of light and air is no more than two meters deep, but it seems to have a magical power operating in it. The pressure from the outside to the inside decreases, while the oxygen content in the air increases gradually, and each centimeter is different.
Therefore, when Man Jianghong slowly fell into it from the dome of the light curtain, it seemed to have entered a decompression treatment cabin, not in a hurry, and his physical condition quietly recovered to the good side, and the effect was obvious.
After a quarter of an hour, he finally broke through the light curtain and fell into the soft sand.
After a day and a night of suffering, his spirit and ** were extremely tired. I took a long breath, my fingers unconsciously rubbed the sand, I felt the touch I hadn't felt for a long time, I didn't want to move, I just wanted to sleep.
But after only lying on his stomach in the sand for dozens of seconds, he forced himself to turn over and sit up, staring at the strange scene in front of him in a daze, with a silly smile on his face, as if he was shocked, and seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and the second monk was puzzled.
This light curtain looks from the inside out, as if through thick frosted glass, it can only see a range of more than ten meters, and then it is blurred and blurred, and further away is the boundless darkness. It's like being alone in a spaceship, and there's no starlight in space.
The air here is a little damp, like a garden after a spring rain, and the fragrance seems to be absent, cool and refreshing. The sand on the ground was outrageously clean, without a trace of dust, and when you pinched it at your fingertips, it faintly glowed with warmth, like tiny crystallized particles.
The sand in the sea outside the light curtain is smooth like an asphalt road that has been run over by a road roller, and there is no trace of the presence or activity of deep-sea animals such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sea lilies, starfish, sea snakes, jellyfish, and sea anemones. The huge octopus and killer whale that had just appeared seemed to be just two phantoms, an illusion.
Thinking of the huge and ferocious killer whale, Man Jianghong couldn't help but shudder, withdrew his gaze from the outside, and closed his eyes in thought.
Oops, it's horrible, scared the baby to death!
The killer whale's teeth clearly penetrated its body, but there was no pain or touch, but a smell of gloom, death, and silence immediately rose in his heart. At that moment, the indescribable and inexplicable vitality seemed to be drained a little bit, and the heart was desperate, mentally exhausted, and physically weak. If it weren't for the inertia of the sprint to hit the light curtain and get rid of the pursuit of that guy, the consequences would be unimaginable!
What the hell is that?
A terrifying word automatically popped into my mind - Shadow!
In the countryside on the shores of Dongting Lake, if you meet a strange person at dusk who walks from the head of the village to the end of the village and shouts "someone is back", don't think you're crazy. Presumably, there is a seriously ill person in the family, and he is shouting for the soul, that is, the soul of the lost relatives to come back quickly.
What if the soul does not return?
became a geist.
What if the spirit doesn't dissipate?
It became a ghost, which is the legendary ghost!
Man Jianghong didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and staggered to his feet to inspect the situation inside the light curtain.
In front of him is a blue cliff, uneven, with some corals distributed in clusters in the east and west, or strange, or purple and red, like clusters of gorgeous flowers.
The light curtain is like half a large bowl upside down on the cliff, isolating the sea water, and the height of the upper end is about 30 meters.
He watched quietly, admiring him.
You must know that the sea water at a depth of more than 3,000 meters can completely flatten ordinary steel, but it is blocked by the lightest and softest light, and there is no leakage at all.
This miracle can not be done by human beings.
The width of the beach is also about 30 meters, and a line of clear footprints extends from a door in the middle of the cliff wall to the light curtain, as if a person once walked out of it and entered the water.
Man Jianghong cautiously walked to the footprints, looked carefully, and found that they were left by a pair of old-fashioned cloth shoes.
He is familiar with this thing, he didn't wear it less when he was a child, and he often saw his grandmother cut out shoe patterns, dry the coarse cloth layer by layer, press out the bottom of a thousand layers, and sew it together finely and densely with needle and thread. The tough and thick soles are difficult to pierce, so my grandmother also wears a thimble in the shape of a ring, and from time to time she will stretch the tip of the needle to the scalp and grind it. Later, when Grandma was old and her eyes couldn't see clearly, it became Man Jianghong's task to thread the needle's eye. He was quick-eyed, and in an instant he could pass the thread through the nose of the needle, puff up his little breast, and proudly hand it to his grandmother, who would lovingly take him into her arms, or grope for some candy and chips as a reward.
This man's feet are about bigger than himself, and he is theoretically taller than himself. But judging from the depth of the shallow traces of eating into the sand, it does not weigh more than a monkey.
It's a little strange, could it be a Bigfoot?
Is it really as light as a swallow and a Dao bone fairy wind, and it can't be achieved if you want to fly in the air?
Also, this piece of sand is smooth and smooth, leaving only a line of lonely footprints on it, how did he get in?
Man Jianghong grew up on the shore of Dongting Lake, received sporadic Confucian education from Grandma Mei and Zhu Fugui, but the living environment was filled with a strong cultural atmosphere of witches, Chu, gods and ghosts. So he is not a thorough materialist, nor is he an idealist. is a bit ruffian in behavior, but extremely strict in thinking, and there is also a beautiful and romantic atmosphere in his bones.
As Kang Jie said, "science" is the most powerful religion on earth, and there is no one. It has created a splendid civilization, and with miracles that can be seen and touched, it has strengthened people's faith and guided the way forward. In some ways, however, it inhibits the romance of the imagination and puts thinking into an empirical stereotyped trajectory.
Therefore, at this moment, the undetermined scientist Man Jianghong, standing under the dome of the deep-sea light curtain, was dumbfounded!
Zi is silent, but he is not repulsed.
And science, one is one, two is two, absolutely to wipe out everything outside the system.
The previous Illusory Realm, Nuclear Boat Story, and Jiaolong can barely be explained with the spiritual world, dreams, and biological evolution in the scientific system. And the scene in front of him is impossible to simply cover up with "force field", "space distortion" and so on. At least, it can't be explained and can't be done with existing knowledge.
Of course, science can also make assumptions. But in order to close a loophole, it is necessary to pull out several unsubstantiated theories, and in order to prove these fictitious theories, a huge system must be built......
At the end of the day, the castle on the beach will definitely crumble!
Man Jianghong's knowledge is not profound, and his insights are not profound, otherwise he would not be able to be respected by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Kang at a young age. But now at this moment, he is standing under the dome, his heart is overturned, and he can't use the scientific system to deduce the scene in front of him seamlessly.
Looking for chapters and excerpts from the old carving insects, Xiaoyue hangs a jade bow on the curtain.
When encountering unknown phenomena, it has almost become his nature to seek answers, and scientific analysis has been integrated into his blood. And this time, the spiritual pillar that had been established for more than ten years was almost cut off by Qi Gen.
His "three views" were first established, but that was only the way to behave in the world. The unavoidable and unexplained magical scene in front of you reminds you of how you look at the objective world next!
This is - methodological - theory!
He was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly and strangled the curious cat, and resolutely interrupted the arrogant idea of reconstructing a scientific explanation system.
Anyway, it's justโtoo much to do!
In fact, in life, no matter how you behave or do things, as long as you change your stance and way of thinking, the same scene will immediately show a different style.
This is obviously the method of the immortals, and it belongs to a completely different cultural system, so why do you have to refer to and explain it with science? Since you don't know anything about the cultivation system, you just need to accept it well.
Of course, deep down in his heart, he believed that all streams returned to the Sect, the Great Dao returned to one, and that there could only be one ultimate explanation for the universe. Science and mystical cultures such as Buddhism and Taoism will definitely merge at a higher level.
So, after he figured it out, the whole world immediately became simpler.
As a result, Xiao Qiang, who almost collapsed mentally, became happy again and prepared to visit the Immortal Cave Mansion with great interest.
He felt that the air here was extremely fresh, exactly the same as in the cave under the eagle's beak cliff, it was clearly the aura, and this was clearly the immortal's cave blessed land. The Emperor of the World God is like a carp crossing the river, all of them are dead, how many of them have met immortals? The immortals touched my top, and their hair was immortalized! Well, this immortal seems to have gone out to visit relatives, even if he does not grant immortality, there must always be a few treasures or immortal cultivation in the cave!
It's developed!
It's developed!!
developed!!
Someone was radiant, gleefully straightened his hair, unbuttoned the hem of his shirt, buttoned the last two buttons, and slapped the sand off his body. It's just that he is barefoot, with his calves and belly exposed, and his arms are bare, no matter how he looks pious on his face, he is a street thug who is a little miserable.
He respectfully walked to the ordinary stone door, bowed his head deeply, hummed twice to clear his throat, and said loudly: "The boy is full of Jianghong, asking to see the immortals." โ
Hey, there's no movement.
You're always at home, and I'm not going to be able to do things.
"The boy is full of Jianghong, asking to see the immortals. โ
The right side of the hole is engraved with "Xianju Linzi Mansion", and the left side is engraved with "the world is separated from the red dust", and there is no horizontal batch on the top, but a piece of white land is left, which is strange. According to legend, the Purple Mansion is the territory of the Emperor of Donghua, and the earth immortals, gods, and heavenly immortals can all manage it, and they are the great leaders of the deputy heavenly court. Since this benevolent brother can be his neighbor, he must also be a great cadre of the Heavenly Court!
"The boy is full of Jianghong, asking to see the immortals. โ
Say important things three times, yes!
Seeing that there was still no response, someone straightened up, his eyes and bones turned around several times, and began to glow.
He stepped forward solemnly, and slowly stretched out his hand to hold the copper ring on the door, but the palm of his hand was inserted into the door at once.
He was slightly stunned, not surprised. Affection, like the light curtain, is also a door that seems to be real and virtual.
He looked around and squeezed in with his shoulders sideways.
After entering, someone swept the situation inside, and was immediately stunned, angry, and scolded in his heart:
"I've seen the poor, but I've never seen such a poor one! You are still in the Immortal Cave Mansion, the whole thing is a broken cave! If you are a purple mansion, the thatched house of the master's family is the Lingxiao Treasure Palace!"
