Chapter 9: Into the Sea
Two days later, Wei Qinglong Zheng and the others finally arrived in the Bering Strait. When the scorpion pointed to the sea below with an expressionless face and said lightly: "We have arrived", Wei Qing couldn't believe it, all he had seen in the past few days was the same scene, except that the sea was a blue sky, and even the seabirds could hardly be seen. If you don't look at the GPS location and the direction of the compass, you can't really tell if they've reached their destination now, or if they've lost themselves. However, Wei Qing also admires them very much, and the legendary location can also be found by them, and it seems that they are bound to obtain the ancient gods hidden in the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet Mountain.
There was an icy sea breeze blowing in her face, and although Wei Qing was wearing a thick cotton coat, she couldn't help but sneeze, and her nose was red from the cold. They were now extremely close to the North Pole, and a short distance north through the Bering Strait would enter the Arctic Circle. Wei Qing, who has been living in the south of the Yanyu River, no longer dares to look at the thermometer, if this temperature is placed in China, it can't be regarded as summer at all.
Wei Qing rubbed her nose, which was red from the cold, and when Long Zheng saw this, he pulled her into the cabin to shelter from the wind.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Qing looked at him with watery eyes, he smiled lightly, and took off a necklace from his neck, on which was hanging a piece of ancient jade with a whole body of turquoise.
Wei Qing was puzzled, took the ancient jade, and saw that the jade was engraved with a flying dragon, and the appearance of the teeth and claws was lifelike, exactly the same as the dragon tattoo on Long Zheng's face. Presumably, it took a lot of chance to get this piece of ancient jade.
Long Zheng put the necklace around Wei Qing's neck and said softly: "This is a thousand-year-old warm jade, you won't feel too cold when you wear it on your body." He paused, and then said: "You don't have to think about returning me later, I took away your guqin necklace, and I should give you a piece of warm jade to nourish your body." ”
Wei Qing was stunned, was the expression on her face so obvious?How could Long Zheng always guess what she was thinking. She pouted, curiously rubbing the piece of ancient jade, sure enough, it became warmer and warmer to the touch, but I didn't know if the temperature came from the ancient jade itself or Long Zheng's body temperature. This was given to her by him, Wei Qing was secretly happy in her heart, she carefully stuffed the jade pendant into the innermost layer of clothes, and put it close to her body.
"Feng Xiao and I will go to the sea in a while, and the sea is unpredictable and dangerous at any time. The scorpion had just been injured and was inconvenient to enter the water. You and the scorpion can stay on the boat and be safer. Long Zheng said his arrangement seriously.
Wei Qing is not the kind of person who is so curious that he causes trouble to others and disregards his own life. She naturally understood what Long Zheng meant, and she naturally couldn't ask for such an arrangement.
Several people used sonar detectors to determine the specific location of the legendary Arctic Tianjiao Mountain on the bottom of the sea, Long Zheng and Feng Xiao put on their respective diving suits, brought the equipment they had already prepared, carried oxygen cylinders on their backs, jumped into the sea, and disappeared into the cold deep sea.
Wei Qing looked at the back of Long Zheng in a diving suit, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart. He had been in the water when the scorpion was injured, and neither he nor the scorpion were wearing wetsuits at that time, probably because things happened suddenly and time was pressing.
The thousand-year-old warm jade given by Long Zheng is really useful, and the warmth in the heart and mouth continues to spread throughout the body, just like a stove that continues to heat up and not burn your hands. Of course, the warmest place is naturally the heart, Wei Qing caressed the heart, facing the sea breeze, looking at the direction in which Long Zheng's figure disappeared was complicated and indescribable.
Two hours later, Wei Qing was sitting bored at the edge of the deck fishing for fish, and suddenly, the scorpion said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming!" Wei Qing immediately stood up, is someone friend or foe? In the past few days of driving on the sea, I have not seen any other ships pass by except for the ghost ship, but at this critical moment, a ship appeared, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentionally coincidental.
Wei Qing picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and the first thing that caught his eye was the red and white Star-Spangled Banner hanging on the mast!
Seeing this scene, Wei Qing felt that her whole body froze, she thought that the person who came would be some other tomb robbery organization or something, but she didn't expect it to be foreign armed forces! As far as she knew, they didn't seem to have obtained international archaeological permission, what could I do.
At this time, the scorpion took out two wetsuits from the cabin and handed one to her: "Let's jump into the sea, maybe there will be a way to survive, if we are caught by those soldiers, it will definitely not end well, if they bombard us, it is impossible to survive." Let's go to the bottom of the sea now to find the boss and meet them, and maybe we can think of some way. ”
Wei Qing nodded, this is a good idea, however, she looked up and asked, "How is your injury?"
The scorpion's face relaxed slightly: "It's okay, it's not a serious injury, it's almost better." ”
"We're gone, what will we do with this ship? We won't be able to get ashore then." Wei Qing was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I've contacted the rest of our organization, and they'll come to pick us up. ”
By the time they had just put on their wetsuits, the Star-Spangled Banner had come near. Maybe those soldiers saw them, and after a while, there was a shout from the giant ship, but unfortunately it was in English, and Wei Qing and the scorpion couldn't understand it. However, conjecture is undoubtedly the intention of expelling them.
Perhaps seeing that they were indifferent and did not respond or leave, they shouted a few more times, and then gave up and went straight to the weapon.
At this time, Wei Qing had already memorized the specific location of the Arctic Sky Cabinet, brought the necessary equipment and food, and stood by the side of the ship. The scorpion reminded her again: "Remember, dive as soon as possible after entering the water, and never surface." Calculate the specific location, once you are separated, I will go to you and contact you at any time when the time comes. ”
Wei Qing pursed her lips and nodded, this is her first time going to the sea, and it is also the most urgent one, it is related to life safety, she must show enough courage. She took a deep breath, and after putting on the oxygen mask, she only heard the scorpion shouting: "One, two, three!" As soon as the words fell, she heard a loud "boom" behind her! A huge impact threw her into the water.
Although he had been prepared in his heart, the moment he entered the water was still too sudden, Wei Qing's mind was blank for a moment, and he almost subconsciously spit out the oxygen mask in his mouth. The sea water was muddy, gray and difficult to see the direction, the impact of the shelling just now had not receded, the surging water stirred Wei Qing kept rolling in the sea with the torrent, as if more than a dozen people were pulling her left and right, her whole body gradually numb, her only belief was to bite the oxygen mask tightly and try to live......
