Chapter 225: Disaster Descends from Heaven

The old Taoist smiled and said, "I also asked this question!" said, the old Taoist pointed to the southeast: "There is a large hill, the expert said that it is a hilly area, when the wind blows there, it encounters an obstacle again, and turns to the Lao Ye Temple here, I just said, the wind blocked back by Lushan blows here, as soon as the two winds meet, there is a whirlpool formed by the wind, and the Lao Ye Temple is in the center of this whirlpool, so the wind direction is naturally chaotic." ”

Leng Ai suddenly thought that the shipwreck accident was not caused by the wind, but after thinking about it, a large ship of nearly 1,000 tons, what kind of wind can blow it into the lake, not to mention, the average water depth of Poyang Lake is less than nine meters, and the deepest place is more than 30 meters.

Leng Ai asked tentatively, "Dao Chief, where do you think these shipwrecks will go?"

The old Taoist replied solemnly: "People are blessed by God for their goodness, and God will be punished for their evil." There are a lot of ships coming and going here, but there are very few accidents that sink ships, and the Japanese want to bring back the looted treasures, so they sink, and the ships that sink here are all cargo ships, so is there no reason here? These merchants must have done something against morality and suffered from heaven's punishment. ”

"Oh?" Wang Sheng asked suspiciously, "The ones that sank are all cargo ships?"

Lao Dao nodded and replied: "Almost, the fishermen who come and go here have almost never had an accident here!"

Wang Sheng frowned, the volume of the cargo ship is much larger than the fisherman's boat, and the technology is more advanced than the ordinary fishing boat, but the small fishing boat does not have an accident, why is the accident a cargo ship, is it really retribution? Or is it that the poor beast likes the goods of the world?

Cheng Hao asked, "If the ship sinks, it will be gone?"

Lao Dao replied: "No, after the boat just sank, the boat was under the water, and many fishermen dived to the bottom to catch the underwater goods, and in just a day or two, the boat that sank to the bottom suddenly disappeared!"

"It's amazing!" Cheng Hao muttered in a low voice.

Leng Ai said: "Dao Chief, it's late now, let's talk about this today!"

The Taoist arranged the room, but Leng Ai refused, and the four of them set up a tent next to the temple, and the old Taoist didn't say anything, and let the four of them go. The wind was very strong in the night, the tent was whirring, even so, the four of them still slept very soundly, the next day the sun just rose, the fishermen had not woken up, the four of them had come to the Poyang Lake, when the old road grew up, the four of them had already dived a large circle underwater, returned to the temple and had a simple meal, the four did not stay at all, and dived underwater again to look for any relevant clues.

They spent the whole day underwater. Although the fins have their own power, for Wang Sheng and them, just soaking under water for a day is enough for them to drink a pot. When the sun rose again, the four of them dived to the bottom of the lake again, until the moon hung high in the sky, and the four returned to the temple in frustration.

The old Taoist has prepared hot water, everything is in his expectations, professional salvage personnel have lived here for more than a month, and finally left without finding anything, Wang Sheng They do not have a little professional level, and it is a fantasy to find the wreck.

Leng Ai held the hot water in both hands and said to herself, "Will it be buried in the sand?"

The old Taoist smiled and said: "Probably not, next to it is the sand factory, digging sand in the old man's temple all year round, if the shipwreck is in the sand at the bottom of the lake, there is no need for a salvage team, they would have dug it out a long time ago!"

Wang Sheng said: "Is it the wrong way for us to look, we shouldn't go to the shipwreck, we should go to the poor beast." ”

Lao Dao asked curiously, "Poor strange beasts?"

Wang Sheng asked, "Dao Chief, do you have a way to find the water monster?"

Lao Dao smiled: "I'm ashamed, I'm a humble Taoist priest, I don't even know the most basic Taoism, and I have nothing else to do every day except chanting!"

The bald head touched his head and said, "No, there will be winning fish where Qiqi appears, and I don't see winning fish here!"

Leng Ai asked, "Dao Chief, do you know that the fishermen nearby have ever caught strange fish?"

The old Taoist shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be, I really haven't heard of it." ”

After saying goodbye to Lao Dao, the four of them quickly fell asleep. Another day, the sun had just risen, and the four of them were standing by the lake, although it was hot and I didn't know if there would be any results if they continued to soak in the water, but the current situation, it seemed that there was no other way.

After lunch, the four of them lay helplessly on the edge of the lake basking in the sun, they knew that dozens of professionals had not found a single clue, let alone the four of them, there was no point in continuing to search, it was better to enjoy the scenery of the lake.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a large cargo ship passed slowly, and the calm lake suddenly became turbulent, Cheng Hao looked at the cargo ship in the distance and shouted: "Oh no, there is an accident on the ship." ”

Wang Sheng hurriedly got up from the ground, all he could see were choppy waves, Wang Sheng asked suspiciously: "Where is there a cargo ship, you are wrong!"

Cheng Hao said with great certainty: "No, I am absolutely not mistaken, a ship has sunk, and the speed of sinking is definitely beyond your imagination!"

"Then what are you waiting for, go and see!"

Traveling less than twenty meters on the water, the surging waves slapped the four of them in the water, Wang Sheng saw a dazzling white light in the lake, making him unable to see the things around him clearly, there seemed to be a huge suction force in the water, which was sucking him towards the center of the lake, no matter how he struggled, there was no way to resist the suction in the water.

After a few minutes, the lake slowly returned to calm, the blinding white light disappeared, and four people surfaced one after another, and the motorcycle was gone.

The four of them took a few breaths on the water, and then dived into the lake again, a large cargo ship was lying quietly on the bottom of the lake, and the four of them searched the boat inside and out, but did not find half a figure. The four of them searched for the location of the scattered light, but still found nothing.

The time of the day passed quickly, and the shipwreck happened in front of their eyes, but there was still no progress in the task, looking at the calm lake under the moonlight, Wang Sheng was very depressed in his heart, if they didn't struggle, maybe there would be a trace of clues.

Cheng Hao smiled bitterly: "The motorcycle is gone, and this business can be a big loss." ”

Wang Sheng sighed, not counting the materials on the motorcycle, just two motorcycles, it takes more than 20,000 points, the watch positioning shows that the motorcycle is in the lake, but they have looked for it more than ten times, and they haven't even seen the shadow of the motorcycle.

The next day, four people rowed the small wooden boat of the Taoist to the water area where the incident occurred, after diving underwater, an incredible thing happened, the cargo ship that was lying quietly at the bottom of the lake yesterday disappeared, Wang Sheng returned to the temple to borrow a few digging tools, dug at the bottom of the lake all morning, and still did not dig anything.

At noon, Lao Dao was ready to eat fast, and Leng Ai asked, "Dao Chief, why are you alone?"

The old Taoist sighed: "Times have changed, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the Tao, I am afraid that after I die, there will be no more people here." ”

Wang Sheng looked at the old Taoist, his eyes flashed with tears, the old Taoist gently put down his chopsticks, blinked his eyes vigorously, and said meaningfully: "It won't be long before Taoism, which has been passed down for more than 5,000 years, will disappear from people's world." ”

For 5,000 years, religion has allowed human culture to spread, creating countless human landscapes, and now, scientism and practical utilitarianism are in charge, those scholars who carry out the banner of traditional culture regard religion as the fulcrum of wealth, and even some people, using the name of religion, capture and control the people, and launch a war of terror, making religion the object of people's exclusion, and religion is slowly coming to an end.

Religion is equivalent to a belief, and if one day, people have no faith, and the speed of moral decay is like a speeding train, speeding towards the abyss.

Wang Sheng looked at the Taoist chief who was in a daze with chopsticks, and he could feel the mood of the old Taoist at the moment. The progress of science is urging the pace of religion, there are more and more atheists, and the groups without faith are gradually growing, maybe this is the progress of the times, maybe this is the progress of thought, but it is indeed a sad thing that the religious belief that has been circulating for thousands of years has sunk because of this.

The old Taoist elder smiled calmly and left the table silently. Wang Sheng sighed helplessly, and suddenly lost a trace of appetite.

Leng Ai said: "Although religion has faded out of people's lives, religion will not be lost because of some things, and the country will not let 5,000 years of culture be lost, in fact, the original intention of the establishment of the Theological Committee is not to solve any supernatural incidents, their main job is to protect normal religious activities." Prevent lawbreakers from using religion to undermine social order, harm the interests of the people, and undermine the construction of the country. ”

Cheng Hao asked, "Why don't you say these words to Lao Dao?"

Leng Ai said with a smile: "Facts have proved everything, the country's policy is so good, it won't be long before he will see with his own eyes the country that is moving towards prosperity." ”

Wang Sheng sighed lightly: "Poor Zhang Sheng, if he can see such a scene today, I think he will be blinded under Jiuquan." ”

The bald head said: "His bones are rotten, and he said what he was doing, now the motorcycles are gone, everything is in the car, I don't want to find a motorcycle, it's!"

The mission failed for only 20,000 points, and if the motorcycle could not be recovered, they would have to lose at least nearly 30,000 points. And their only way is to dive underwater.

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly: "Compared with the size of our motorcycles and freighters, they can't catch up with one-fiftieth of freighters, and the freighters can't be found, where can we find motorcycles?"

Leng Ai said: "Then we can't give up, if we don't look for it, we have no hope at all." ”

The next day, before the sun had risen, the four of them rowed a small boat and finally came to the place of the incident, and the four of them soaked underwater for a day, but found nothing.

A week passed quickly, and they searched almost all the bottom of the water area of the Lao Ye Temple, and they did not find a trace. Wang Sheng, Bald Head and Cheng Hao all have plans to give up, only Leng Ai perseveres.

Seeing that the three of them had become negative, Leng Ai cheered up the three of them and said: "Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved, think about the road we have come, which time is not full of thorns, but we have never given up, we are not even afraid of the army, will we be conquered by a lake?"
