Chapter Fifty-Eight: Crossing the River
One day's journey, near evening, a great river crossed my path, and it seemed that I had come to the great river on this map. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It seems that my sense of direction is still good, the journey was smooth, I didn't take any crooked roads, just one day, I have walked nearly one-third of the total distance, it seems that if there is no accident, I can reach the abyss battlefield in advance. I wonder what the reward will be for arriving early?
I don't have time to think about what the reward will be, even a pig can feel the air is frozen, what is the reason for this atmosphere here is so solemn?
I saw a boat coming from the river, and the speed of this boat was also extremely fast, and it was so fast that it was heading towards the shore.
I don't know who shouted, "It's a ferry." The crowd smashed the pot and rushed towards the ferry on the shore.
After a while, the big ship finally arrived at the shore and stopped at the ferry, this is still a ship, this is obviously an aircraft carrier! It is as high as a dozen stories high, and this displacement is at least one million tons.
It is not surprising that this ferry port is facing the inflow of so many people, and hundreds of managers quickly set up a cordon to block these people from the ferry. Among them was me, who came to see the excitement, and after I couldn't stop shouting at the people rushing to the ferry, I had to find out for myself.
"You all know the rules, first down and then up, first down and then up, violators, confinement for one day. ......" There were several managers shouting at the thousands of onlookers at the scene.
I don't know if these managers have deep mana, or if these people already know these rules, and after a period of bustling, pushing and bumping, hundreds of queues were lined up in an orderly manner.
At this time, the boat was finally completely moored at the ferry port and had docked steadily. A ramp ladder, jutting out from the side of the ship's hull, sits firmly on the ship and the ground, erecting a temporary but steady temporary aisle. "What a wonderful design!" I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. And the person next to me looked at me like a dirt bun, and I was indeed a dirt bun.
After the passage was erected, hundreds of ragged people came down from the ship one after another, dragging heavy steps, but the crowd of onlookers next to them resounded with loud and enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Who are they? are veterans?" I blurted out another question.
The person next to me, who seemed to be unable to stand my ignorance, waited for the crowd to calm down, and said to me: "That's the adventurers who survived, and it seems that they are all in their pockets if they can come back alive this time." These crowds cheering for them are actually cheering for themselves, hoping that they can be as lucky as them. ”
After all the adventurers on the big ship had come down and cleaned up, there were ox carts on this passage, lined up at certain intervals, and slowly walked towards the ground. Each ox cart was full of goods, and because it was packed in a box and covered with a layer of cloth on the outside, I don't know what kind of goods it was. This may be the proof that the enthusiastic answerer said that he was about to become a rich adventurer.
Looking at the endless flow of ox carts, one by one towards the shore, it seemed that it would not be over for an hour, so I asked the warm-hearted man again, "Where did they get so much loot?"
The warm-hearted man said, "Just across the street, that forest, this is a place full of opportunities and dangers!", and as he spoke, he was a yearning expression, and fell into the illusion that he was also the group of adventurers who had returned victoriously and returned with a full load.
Isn't that the forest in the path I planned? Thousands of adventurers came back with only a few hundred survival rates, and I was sure that I could cross this forest safely?
"Is this the only boat on the other side?" I asked again.
"Yes, this is the only boat, which departs every day in the evening, and sails almost every day, except for the winter season, when it is suspended. ”
"Can't you just build your own boat to cross the river?" Or swim over it yourself, this river looks like it's dozens of miles wide, why doesn't anyone do it?" I had some questions when I faced the surface of the river, which only had one boat.
"Hahahaha, you are really a dirt bun, you don't know, the long river is heavy?......" The enthusiastic person suddenly leaned forward and closed with a smile, and the crowd next to him couldn't help but laugh when they heard my question.
......
Through the fragments of their mouths, I finally knew what the heavy water of the long river was.
This long river of heavy water is the name of this river. This long river, that is, this river, has never been found (some people speculate that this river flows out of the gap of time and space, so the source cannot be found), and the final flow of this river is also unknown, so this can only be described as a long river. So it's completely impossible to get to the other side without crossing the river.
This heavy water is also describing this river, and this river is completely composed of that heavy water. The heavy water that has been sacrificed is comparable to the weight of a mountain with just one drop of heavy water. Therefore, many immortals and cultivators came to this long river of heavy water, and took this heavy water essence to sacrifice their magic weapons, but it was also strange, and as a result, after thousands of years of mining, there was no trace of the river at all. It is also due to the fact that the river itself, which is composed entirely of heavy water, is so heavy that the flow of this river can only reach one meter a year.
Although the amount of water in this river is only heavy water, and its weight is not as good as the one-yuan heavy water that has been sacrificed, if someone wants to forcibly cross the river with the strength of the body, within ten meters, this heavy water will stain your body, and your body will not be able to stay on the surface of the river through buoyancy, and it will sink with the heavy water until the bottom of the river. And the water pressure at ten meters below the surface of this heavy river has exceeded the water pressure of thousands of meters below the sea surface, so this long river heavy water with a depth of hundreds of meters has not yet reached the bottom of the river, and you can only turn into minced meat. (Think about it with bad taste, this Buddha's second golden body, if it reached the bottom of the river, it would have become a can.) )
And the reason why this ship was able to get to the other side was because the ship itself was built with a tree called a causal tree. This causal tree does not touch cause and effect, does not touch all things (so it does not touch this heavy water, there will be no danger of this shipwreck), this piece of causal tree the size of a finger, carried on the body all the year round, all evils do not invade, and even if it is to cultivate those evil ways that are extremely fast and easy to go mad in the later stage, it only needs the roots of a causal tree to always hold in the mouth, and it is also taboo, not afraid of the risk of dispersal of gong.
And such a precious causal tree was used to build this big ship, and this big ship was built to increase buoyancy, so it was built very much, which also caused the wood of this causal tree to be used a lot, and there was a feeling of being a tyrannical thing. I feel that all the causal trees in the world have been used to build this big ship (it may be the case, now a fist-sized causal tree body in the auction hall is the price of a spiritual treasure, and the price of this causal tree root is even more expensive, and why this causal tree is not robbed is that there is a very strong background behind this big ship).
Of course, this safe crossing of the river is not only due to the ship itself, but also the most expensive thing in the mythical world - talent, the credit of the captain.
