Chapter 20: The Water Cave
Originally, he planned to leave, but seeing the strange appearance of the two, Yuan Liang couldn't help but stay and listen to what the two said in the house.
Is there any contradiction between us and them?
When his father left, Shangguan Yuanliang also left in a hurry, afraid of being discovered.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Zheng followed him to his own sea boat. At this time, before the start of construction, the sailors were still resting, and when they saw the arrival of the two heads of the clan, everyone was very excited, and they all got up to greet him. Shangguan Zheng was also happy to see these young people working for the family, and encouraged them with words to work hard.
The ship was huge, about seventy or eighty zhang long and twenty or thirty zhang wide. The hull is long and narrow, and it is specially designed for mining minerals in the sea, and until a few days ago, only the Shangguan family had such a ship.
When I came to the bow of the boat, Shangguan Jing pointed to a boat of the same size in the distance and said, "Second family master, the boat with the 'sand' flag is the sea ship of the Shahai Gang." The hull is still new, and I don't think it will be built for long. ”
I saw a huge wooden boat in the distance, with a huge cable hanging from the front and rear. The sails were also down, and there were a few people walking back and forth on the board, as if they were preparing for today's construction. There are not many black irons, but now the difficulty of mining has increased a lot, and they have begun to move deeper into the sea. Why did he want to enter the Shahai Gang under such circumstances? His ship was built by himself? What kind of strength did he have behind it? Shangguan Zheng is a cultivator and a businessman, and the mystery behind this must be clarified, otherwise if there is a conflict, who can tell whether he wins or loses!
Shangguan Zheng looked into the distance and thought carefully. After a while, I saw a black-faced man coming out of the bow of the boat in the distance, about nine feet tall, and his burly body could not be concealed by the long section of a brocade robe. The man slowly walked to the bow of the boat and looked left and right, as if looking at the sky and the sea. He turned around twice, and suddenly stopped and looked at the Shangguan family's sea boat.
"The second family master, that person is Sha Mantian. Shangguan Jing watched as the man suddenly stared at his side and reminded.
Of course, Shangguan Zheng also noticed him. At this time, although the distance is quite far, the weather is clear and the visibility is very good, and the cultivator's eyesight is very good, but he can see clearly.
The man looked at Shangguan Zheng, first stunned and then smiled slightly, as if he was like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years and nodded slightly to this side, and then turned around and went in.
Shangguan Zheng thought for a while, and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly turned around and said to Shangguan Jingme, "Let's visit the Shahai Gang tonight, Sha Mantian!"
......
Lin Xin and the three of them have been going to the forbidden place every day for the past few days, and the so-called cultivation is just slowly groping there. Shangguan Lan had warned them that this process was extremely important. You must control it yourself well, and then slowly get familiar with it later, otherwise you will be in a state of absence in the future, and it is easy to have unnecessary trouble.
The back mountain that I have been longing for in the past has now become a plague god that I can't avoid. Under the leadership of Shangguan Wuji, the three of them came here every day, and the result was that they suffered every day. I don't have the curiosity and patience I had before, maybe as Shangguan Wuji said to a few people, when you lose at the hands of others, you know that you start to practice hard, but I just hope that it won't be too late.
It's still a day, it's still meditating, it's still not receiving. Jade Jane can't get out of the hole, this is the rule of the ancestors. So they were in the cave every day. When will it be over? Of course, I got the legal decision.
At night, Lin Xin couldn't sleep. Unlike the two of them, who have enviable talents, he is just an ordinary mortal. It is really rare for a teenager who is twelve or thirteen years old, even a child, to have insomnia. Sitting cross-legged, trying to get into the state that you feel during the day, you can't do it anyway. Maybe it's God's compensation for him, he has mediocre talent, but he actually has extraordinary ability in personal understanding. In just a few days, he was able to explore the unity of body and mind, and the realm of fugue outside the form. If the head of the family, Shangguan Lan, knew, would definitely be so shocked that his eyes would fall. Because this kind of rootless groping is like walking at night, and finding the path that has been stepped on by people is the most difficult.
Calm your mind, calm your mind...... Lin Xin seems to have found that wonderful feeling again, maybe it is, it really is. Lin Xin only felt that his body was gone, as if he was in a dark place, and he saw his body. I reached out and touched it, but I couldn't touch it, and I tried and tried it again and again.
Forget it, maybe that's how it was! But where did my soul go? Is it still in my body? No, it seems to have been far away...... Lin Xin was anxious, cold sweat broke out on his head, and the low-hanging curtain was still in front of him.
There was a hint of excitement in the calm, so that he could definitely read the law in the jade slip, and this feeling and state were exactly the same as what Shi Bo said. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Lin Xin almost jumped out of bed.
Suddenly, happiness made him regain a little bit of childishness. You must tell Minghao and Xue'er about this, and they will definitely be surprised. With a squeak, he opened the door, it was so late!
Let's go back and tell them tomorrow.
He wanted to turn back, but the excitement caused him to walk out the door and close the door.
He walked back and forth in the yard, not knowing where to go. It suddenly occurred to me that there was still a place in the back mountain that I hadn't gotten to. It's nighttime, and no one knows about it.
Lin Xin knew that the Shangguan family had some guards guarding it at night, and it would not be very strict all year round. Sneaking to the destination, only the sound of the water is heard, and the dark moon at night can still reflect the white of the waterfall. He originally planned to explore this water hole with Ming Hao and the others, but he always thought that this cave was unusual, and the process of discovering this hole was difficult to explain, so it was better to take a look for himself first.
The water was still the same cold, so cold that he didn't dare to go down. But today, when I get here, I must find a way to find out, and besides, the seasonal water is about to rise.
The entrance to the cave is deep in the water, and if you dive by yourself, you will definitely not be able to go down. Lin Xin clearly remembered everything in the water, hugged a big stone and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave. The rocks at the bottom of the water were slippery, and the shoes were a little weak to step on. The water was colder at night, but Lin Xin could bear it.
Lin Xin is not very old, but his health is very good, according to Shangguan Lan, he is not the same person as us, and he is born stronger. Of course, only he knows the connotation. The ability to swim and play in the lake in the past has also been shown to work, and the time to dive into two pillars of incense in one breath is not a difficult task.
After walking a short distance, I felt the stone at the entrance of the cave. This is an ashlar stone that has been hand-hewn and you can feel the difference from natural stone when you touch it. Is this the way in? The excitement just now has already been consumed by the cold water. Reason rushed to the mind, what would be the black hole inside?
Put down the stone in your hand and help the hole with all your might. Since you are here, you must go in. When I leave Shangguan's house, I may not have a chance to come back.
The entrance to the cave was filled with water. The black hole is empty, Lin Xin didn't dare to be too fast, the entrance of the hole was not very wide, Lin Xin stood up, and his head and feet were just within reach. For a long time, there is such a narrow water hole, and it should always be going west.
After a while, at the end of the water hole, Lin Xin felt that there was an exit above, and he floated up with all his might.
"Whew, whew. Lin Xin let out a big sigh, if this water hole was longer, it was estimated that he would turn around and go back. It seems that God has taken good care of this expedition for him. Climbing onto the shore, Lin Xin was a little tired.
What kind of place is this? Lin Xin fought a cold war. It's completely pitch black here, isn't it the ice cellar? How is it colder than the water! Touching the fire fold on his body, a faint light illuminates the place not far away. He tentatively looked into the distance, it was dark, he couldn't quite understand, and walked a few more steps.
What is this? Lin Xin was so frightened that he took a step back and almost fell back into the water. I saw a vicious beast not far away, staring at him with both eyes.
The trembling voice carried a great fear: "What are you? At this time, Lin Xin's heart was already shocked to the extreme. I regret and I am afraid, I really shouldn't come!
