Chapter 43: Under the Sea?
"Looking at the sun, moon and stars far away, I don't know what the fairy mountains and seas are hidden. Originally, Qin Guan and others focused on the word "sea" in this sentence, and their understanding of the first half of the sentence was only limited to "far", and they did not particularly think about the connotation in it. However, since arriving at the location of the immortal mountain recorded in the sea chart in the jade slip, Qin Guan and the others looked at the empty place, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
The immortal mountain must be hidden in a hidden space, otherwise it would not have been discovered without a trace. But before they could comprehend the method of opening the Immortal Mountain, they hurriedly set off from Danghai City to come here. When I arrived at the place, I realized that it was not as simple as I thought, and I didn't find any clues at all.
The sea shuttle has been patrolling the bottom of the sea for five days, looking left and right, up and down, and has not even found a single reef, which is a pure line between heaven and sea. Qin Guan and the others were a little anxious, and even Gu Qinfang, who was the most calm in the past, complained a little: "I knew that I should have gotten the key to enter the door in Danghai City first, and I wouldn't have to temporarily hold on to the ground." Qin Guan smiled bitterly, how did he know that the immortal mountain was so hidden, and he didn't find out where it was when he held the chart, only such a general place, within a radius of a hundred miles, he couldn't even see a single island or reef.
"Why don't we comprehend that riddle together again?" Qin Guan suggested that everyone on the ship get involved, it was Shouruo (Ah Shui) who discovered the clues in the jade slip in the first place, maybe the disciples under the sect could have other discoveries this time? After all, the heart of a pure child is more direct than their old fritters, and often the simplest things will make them think complicated, but they will lose the opportunity to possibly.
Everyone crowded into the hall of the cabin, Qin Guan told everyone about the current problems, everyone looked at each other, they thought that they had been patrolling in the sea for the past few days to avoid the prying eyes of others, but they didn't expect that they hadn't even figured out how to get started.
The juniors in the Qi training period began to bite their ears and exchange their opinions, they now have great enthusiasm for being able to leave the sea shuttle, they are all young people, and no one wants to stay in a small sea boat for so long, so their enthusiasm is the highest. The other monks in the foundation building period, who are physically disabled and older, basically don't care about this matter, firstly, because they are not as stubborn as young people in the immortal mountain, and secondly, they have stayed in the sea shuttle for too long, which is somewhat unfavorable to their physical condition. Qin Guan and He Lianjun and Liao Xingchen began to discuss the matter of arranging a large-scale concealment array, after all, the spiritual materials in the ship were less than three-quarters of the original, and a little less, who knows what the situation is in the immortal mountain, in case something happens again, the spiritual material is insufficient, it will not be a fun thing.
Gradually, the discussion in his ears became quieter, Qin Guan was a little strange, he was still discussing with He Lianjun and Liao Xingchen, and he didn't care about what the people below were discussing. "Why did you stop? Could it be ......" Before Qin Guan could think of anything, he heard a voice say: "Master, I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible or not. ”
The person who spoke was Dong Xiuzhu, who originally knew the most about this puzzle, and there were a lot of speculations about the puzzle in his family, so he had a lot of ideas in his heart. It's just that he doesn't think he's particularly sure, and he's a cautious person by nature, so he thinks it's better not to say anything about things that he doesn't have a particularly big grasp. It's just that he saw that everyone was talking, but he couldn't come up with any reasonable speculation, and he was a little anxious, so he thought about whether to say the ideas that had been circulating in his family and his own speculation over the years, and be a person who threw bricks and stones. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Song Lian and Shoujing, young people from Sanqingguan, walked up to him and whispered their thoughts. Song Lian and Shoujing, one is the first apprentice of the third generation, and the other is the youngest junior brother, the age difference is more than ten years, but they have similar interests and are each other's best confidants.
The idea of the two is simple, that is, not to use the puzzle as the key to entry, but as the coordinates of the guide, so that a bold speculation is proposed. In the first half of the sentence, there are four images in "looking at the sun, moon and stars far away", the sun, moon and stars are celestial phenomena, which can be regarded as referring to the sky, and the place far away from the sky must be underground. But they are now at sea, so it is more appropriate to go underwater. Since it is underwater, it must be extremely deep underwater, and it is impossible for an immortal mountain to be suspended in the water out of thin air and still be fixed. In the second half of the sentence, "I don't know what is hidden in the immortal mountains and seas" is just in line with the understanding of the first half of the sentence in the water, and it is pointed out that it is in the sea, and the meaning of the word "in the sea" is either within the scope of the cultivation world of the four seas, or in the depths of the sea!
Dong Xiuzhu expressed his appreciation for the idea of the two, and there were also rumors about this kind of speculation in his family, but it was whimsical to be ridiculed by the old antiques in the family, after all, Xianshan is a mountain, how can it be in the water. Besides, doesn't such speculation mean that their gang and their ancestors have been working in the wrong direction for generations? Therefore, this kind of thinking has not been widely circulated, but has only been recorded as scraps in the Dong family's biography. Dong Xiuzhu has been studying it for a long time since he rubbed a copy of the nautical chart found in the jade slip, although he has not made any major discoveries, but he has combed through the information collected by his ancestors over and over again, and the things that he was already familiar with are now regarded as backwards. He treats all speculations equally, no matter what kind of fanciful ideas he has, he maintains a positive attitude, after all, he has not seen it with his own eyes, and the things in the cultivation world are not too grotesque.
Qin Guan listened to their thoughts and pondered for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but the others agreed with this idea a little. After all, they had already sent a lot of people to search for the sea in front of them, and they didn't even find a small crack in the space of the mustard seed. It is said that no matter how clever the mustard seed formation is, it is impossible to hide a huge mountain in the world out of thin air, and it must be left at the door as a place for people to enter and exit. But they have been looking for so long and have not found any holes, and now Shoujing and Song Lian's ideas are consistent with the speculation of Helian Jun's family heirloom, so that they can also reasonably explain the situation they are encountering now, so everyone agrees with it a little.
Qin Guan waved his hand: "Since this is the case, then let's dive down to see if it is at the bottom of the sea!"
