Volume 1 Wandering Rivers and Lakes Chapter 43 The Torrential Rain Poured Out
In less than two months, the water of the East China Sea will be poured into Tawau?
Although Lin Zining had already guessed that the seawater was about to pour in, he didn't expect it to be so fast, so he couldn't help but ask: "If I haven't arrived at Tawau, I don't know what the prince should do?" ”
Gou Yuan looked at Lin Zining for a while before he said: "Before you are in the future, we have already checked Tawau and determined that the third hidden danger is in Doufu Palace. ”
Lin Zining asked again: "If I haven't found out the third hidden danger within two months, how will Jun Hou arrange it?" ”
Hook Yuan's throne was very wide, and seeing that Lin Zining's problem was getting deeper and deeper, he simply put his legs on the chair and half-lay on the throne himself. This posture made him quite comfortable, and after lying down, he said: "Naturally, the water tribe on the lake will be released out of the lake and escape along the river connected to the South Lake, as for the water tribe in the lower lake, it will not have much impact, and it is okay to temporarily move to the Dragon Palace of Chujiang." ”
It turned out that Gou Yuan already had a plan to guarantee the bottom, and Lin Zining felt a lot less pressure in his heart, and was about to ask how long the deadline for himself was, when he was attracted by the pattern of the hollow sculpture in front of Gou Yuan's throne, which didn't look like a hooked snake no matter how it looked.
Lin Zining pointed to the sculpture in front of the throne and asked, "Jun Hou, what is the pattern carved in front of this throne?" ”
Gou Yuan thought that Lin Zining was going to continue to talk about Tawau's hidden dangers, but he didn't want him to ask an unexpected question, how could he care about the seat?
Hearing Lin Zining's question, Gou Yuan got up and walked to Lin Zining's side, and looked at the hollow sculpture of the throne with him, Gou Yuan is not like Lin Zining, he has not seen much of the world, and after a glance, he said casually: "Oh, this is a dragon that has not yet shed its shell." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the throne, pointed to the sculpture on it, and said, "Look, this is the head of the dragon, this is the turtle shell, this is the limbs, and here is the tail of the dragon." This is the throne carved out of 10,000-year-old coral stone by the previous Tawau monarch, and I did not replace it when I took over. Why, do you think there's anything wrong with this? ”
Lin Zining couldn't imagine that Gou Yuan still had such a big measure, and even the throne engraved with the statue of the previous Tawau monarch dragon could not be changed, so he couldn't help but respect him in his heart, and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, I just think this pattern is novel, and I take the liberty to ask, Jun Hou, is there still a sculpture or pattern of the dragon in the Doufu Palace?" ”
"Do you think a third hidden danger could be in these places?" Gou Yuan knew Lin Zining's thoughts as soon as he heard it.
Lin Zining said: "Before there is a clear clue, this is a solution. ”
"Doufu Palace used to be full of sculptures and portraits of dragons, but now there are many fewer of them, it's not that I haven't looked for them before, but there is no result. Well, I'll talk to the lady in the backyard today. When I leave tomorrow, you can take someone to search again. If you have other ideas later, you can arrange them yourself, and if you can't make up your mind, discuss it with General Cat. If something happens, just crush the jade piece I gave you. Gou Yuan explained again.
When Lin Zining came out of Doufu Palace, he happened to meet Beng Yunfeng who was carrying account books from Shuihua Palace, and Beng Yunfeng was going to enter Doufu Palace to get the account books of the inner treasury. It is estimated that there will be no shortage of account books in the inner treasury, Lin Zining asked Yu Yuangang to lead the soldiers to help, and he watched the occasional ripples on the water wall at the gate of Doufu Palace.
Tawau Lake is about 1 or 200 zhang deep, and the height of the lower lake is less than 50 zhang.
It didn't take long for Beng Yunfeng and Yuan Yuan to come out of it, it seemed that Qian Shuixie had already made preparations, and it didn't take long for the two to go in.
When he returned to the library, Lin Zining summoned everyone and said the next arrangement, and Huang Dalin and two calculating water tribes led more than a dozen scribes to proofread the accounts, from near to far, one by one, focusing on the accounts of the last twenty years.
And Lin Zining took Beng Yunfeng and Fei Yuangang to the dark river connecting the East China Sea. The dark river connecting the East China Sea is not only wider, but also larger. Lin Zining felt the abundant water spirit qi and the crystal bead automatically absorbed the water spirit qi, and even took him with him a lot.
Lin Zining and Bengyun Feng Yuan just stood on the boulder protruding from the dark river, which was about 20 zhang wide, and the protruding boulder was like one side of the arch bridge, and the bridge deck was also five or six zhang long. Lin Zining looked at the river rushing down under his feet, and he could see the swimming fish at the bottom through the water, which was more peaceful than the dark river of the Chu River.
Beng Yunfeng and Teng Yuangang were very curious about Lin Zining bringing them here, so they heard Lin Zining look at Beng Yunfeng and said, "General Beng, I heard that the monarch came to Tawau from the East China Sea thousands of miles away along this dark river, is that so?" ”
Beng Yunfeng didn't know why Lin Zining asked this question, nodded, showed an ignorant look, and replied, "Uh, oh, yes." It was from this cave that the king came up back then. ”
Hearing Beng Yunfeng's answer, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but snort.
But he didn't want Lin Zining to turn around again and say to Tawau Yuangang: "General Fei, have you dragon clan lived in Tawau for generations?" ”
Hearing this question, Teng Yuangang and Beng Yunfeng were both stunned, they couldn't imagine why Lin Zining asked this question.
This is where Lin Zining is different from ordinary people, ordinary people only see the appearance, but Lin Zining pays attention to the root of the problem. Lin Zining still remembered that he had read a novel called "True Dragon Demon Suppression Record", in which there was such a character as King Jinglong. Lin Zining felt strange at the time, and ran to ask Mr. Bai Yi if there was also a well dragon king in the ancient well of Qingxu Palace.
When Mr. Bai Yi heard this question, he laughed and told Lin Zining that this is just a novelist's construction, and he can't do anything. Lin Zining still didn't understand, and it was only after Mr. Bai Yi explained carefully that everything in the world is inseparable from the word "reason".
Don't say that the well dragon king in "True Dragon Demon Suppression Record" is a real dragon, even if it is the same miscellaneous dragon clan as the dragon living not far from Tawau, it is not something that can be conceived by a deep well. Without enough aura, it simply can't provide the energy needed to sustain life by a huge spirit beast like the dragon clan.
Therefore, a spirit animal like the dragon clan can basically be conceived by the great river and the sea, and although Tawau is not small, it is difficult to give birth to a dragon. That's why Lin Zining asked.
The history of the dragon clan settling in Tawau is much longer than the history of the Great Sui Empire, and the Tawau water tribe never thought that the dragon clan might also be outsiders.
Yuan Yuan didn't expect Lin Zining to ask this question, but he still knew the origin of the Dragon Clan, so he said: "The Dragon Dragon Clan originally lived in the sea area called the Chaotic Star Sea near Abbot Mountain in the East China Sea, and my grandfather moved here from the Chaotic Star Sea. I wonder how the reviewer found out about this? ”
"I'm just guessing, guessing. That's why I'm confirming to you, I think the great-grandfather of General Ray also came ashore from here, right? Lin Zining replied.
"I heard my father say that when Xiaolong's grandfather swam down the dark river with the real body of Xiaolong, he broke through the rocks when he looked up, so he went ashore here and opened up the foundation of Tawau. ”
Speaking of this, Teng Yuan just paused for a moment before continuing: "Later, my grandfather knew that he was about to break off his shell and soar and travel the world, so he gave the foundation of Tawau to Gou Junhou. ”
Lin Zining asked again: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of not knowing how long General Yan will live this year?" ”
Yu Yuangang replied: "Xiaolong is still young, eight hundred and fifty years old this year. ”
Hearing this, Lin Zining rubbed his fair cheeks a few times, and asked Beng Yunfeng again: "What is General Beng's longevity this year?" ”
Lin Zining's question didn't match the preface, not to mention that he brought the two of them here from the library, which really made the two of them a little dizzy, but before they figured out Lin Zining's intentions, the wisest action for the two of them was what Lin Zining asked and what they answered.
Beng Yunfeng replied: "The junior general is a few years older than him, nine hundred and thirty-five years old this year. After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Gang provocatively.
As soon as Lin Zining asked, he asked himself two ancestor-level people, but it was obvious that neither of them had experienced seawater inflow, should he tell the two of them about it?
Lin Zining looked at Teng Yuangang, and then at Beng Yunfeng, thinking that Teng Yuangang might know about the thousand-year-old tide, but Beng Yunfeng didn't necessarily know about it.
Returning to the shore from the cliff boulder, Lin Zining walked to the pavilion on the left, which was larger and more comfortable than that of the Chu River Dark River. In the middle of this two-zhang diameter pavilion is a group of stone tables and chairs, and on top of the stone table is a large stone basin, and half a basin of cyan liquid has accumulated in the stone basin.
Lin Zining knew that this was the water essence qi condensed by the dark river of the East China Sea, and if it was absorbed and refined, it would be of great benefit to the body.
Seeing Lin Zining sitting on the stone bench staring at the liquid in the stone basin and looking at it non-stop, Teng Yuangang and Beng Yunfeng were a little curious, the two looked at each other, fighting with their eyes, and finally Beng Yunfeng was no match for Fei Yuangang, and asked Lin Zining: "Inspector, is the liquid in this stone basin a problem?" ”
Lin Zining said in his heart, maybe Beng Yunfeng can't absorb and refine this water essence, but Teng Yuangang must be able to, his bloodline is even stronger, and he can control these pure aura. Facing Beng Yunfeng's question, Lin Zining explained: "I just feel curious, okay, let's go back." ”
When I returned to the library, I heard someone saying that the torrential rain was pouring outside, and the water of the upper lake had overflowed the embankment, and the small river of the South Lake had become a big river, and many fish and shrimp aquariums had been taken away by the water.
In May and June, it was the rainy season in Chuyuening, and when Lin Zining was in Zhenhai City, he would complain to Liu Junbao from time to time that there was too much rain, which was not conducive to the growth of crops, and would affect the business of the warehouse in the end. The torrential rain may affect the business of the Four Seas Warehouse, but the tidal wave that follows the rainstorm is likely to destroy the family business in Tawau.
