Chapter 93: Underwater Existence
Because this lunch took too long, we returned to the boat in the afternoon. Of course, we did not forget to ask the locals which village the young man’s accident was. Since we were already here, we would definitely go there.
Take a look.
Back on the boat, Johnny told Singh to follow the route guided by the locals and go to the village along the river. After all, there are many tributaries of the Ganges. If you follow the main river, you may not be able to find it even in nearby villages.
Standing on the deck, Johnny's eyes were a little deep. I stood next to Johnny and hesitated to speak.
"Actually, if you have any ideas, you can tell me." Johnny said, perhaps sensing my emotions.
"Uncle Johnny, do you think it is necessary for us to go to that village? According to the conversation just now, we can actually draw a very important conclusion." Johnny likes to be straightforward, so I also speak very directly.
"What kind of conclusion? See if you and I have the same idea?" Johnny's expression did not change. Instead, he encouraged me to continue talking.
"The local people are not sure, and the hearsay is the biggest clue! You said that the thing that you and my master sealed moved, right? In fact, I don't think that has ever happened in this place again.
It happened because that thing moved. Note, it was with the current.
Moved, just moved downstream. What I mean is that the sealed guy is no longer here. In fact, we can finally locate it based on the clues of the rumors. There is no need to waste time here. Facts have proved that it has left here.
." I told Johnny what I was thinking.
I don't want to waste any extra time because I want to go back to China. After all, Johnny has revealed a lot of secrets to us. We are destined to go back to China. No matter how dangerous it is, we must go back. So why not hurry up? I miss me
My hometown is also looking forward to meeting Master again on the road to Penglai.
Facing my statement, Johnny's eyes flashed with sadness, and he pondered for a long time before turning around and saying to me: "Chengyi, in fact, my judgment is the same as yours. But I have to go and see, Li once
He told me that because he couldn't take action himself, the existence could only be sealed, but the seal could not completely seal it. Its breath would contaminate the underwater creatures! Of course, it would take a certain amount of time to produce this kind of thing.
Do you know about the mutation? I'm afraid."
I frowned. In fact, I couldn't understand why Uncle Johnny repeated what he said to me in the first place, but when I thought about it carefully, it suddenly made me feel something else. Coupled with his last sentence of "he was afraid," I suddenly felt a little worried.
I understand Uncle Johnny.
I was silent for a while and said: "Then go and have a look. I hope it's not too scary! If such a existence was created in my hometown river, I wouldn't feel at ease."
Johnny patted me on the shoulder, his eyes were moved, and he said: "I'm sorry, it was my selfishness that made you take a meaningless risk with me, but I had to confirm it. This has always been the case.
It’s my nightmare, because Li said that everything is uncertain, that is to say, he can’t be sure of anything, so I have been uneasy. Do you know why I believe in Li so much, to the point of giving up my own beliefs and following Li’s beliefs?”
Uncle Johnny suddenly changed the topic and talked about this. He had never mentioned this in previous conversations with us.
"Because in the year when Li appeared, a huge mysterious disaster occurred in the Ganges River. Of course, information was not developed at that time. I don't know if you have heard of that disaster. In short, this is something that the cultivator circle should take action to solve.
, but we were helpless! Until Li showed up." At this point, Johnny fell silent, took out a pipe from his jacket pocket, and began to fill it with tobacco.
"Did my master solve this disaster?" I didn't ask what kind of disaster it was, but judging from Johnny's expression, it must have been tragic.
"Yes, it was Li! And that disaster was just the beginning of a past event. The final outcome was that many years later, Li and I sealed it together. Li's ability impressed me, and truly conquered me, making me become
What belongs to the Taoists is Li's state of mind! An indescribable righteousness, a unique unrestrained style of the Taoists, a kind of vicissitudes that can break through the world of mortals, but it is also
There is a kind of sincerity that can be sacrificed for this broken world while talking and laughing. This is a very complex personality charm and what kind of faith it is. It does not have much restraint, but it actually regulates a person's soul.
To reach such a high realm? So, I became a Taoist." Johnny said slowly, lit his pipe, and took a deep breath.
When the smoke cleared, Johnny turned back to me and said: "Of course, I don't regret it!"
This sentence of "no regrets" made my heart suddenly warm. Looking into the distance, everything seemed to be in silence.
After all, it was a nearby village. After driving slowly for more than an hour, the boat finally approached that place. However, the river where the village was located was a short branch of the main river, which was equivalent to bypassing a river beach and then returning to the mainstream.
, our ship cannot go directly to that river channel, because of the water flow terrain there, the Penglai cannot enter.
Therefore, we can only park here and decide to rest here for the night and then walk into the village early tomorrow morning.
The night in early spring was still a bit cold. Because we decided to go on an adventure the next day, we were not sleepy at all. We all sat together on the deck with blankets wrapped around us, accompanied by the quiet sound of the Ganges River, trying to calm our hearts through conversations.
.
Everyone has some worries to some extent. People who have experienced adventures do not become bolder as in the story, but become more cautious.
Only Wal-Mart changed into a pair of Garfield pajamas. He was obviously excited, he didn't know what the world was up to, and he was very happy.
Uncle Johnny has been repeating to us that our master's inability to judge what happened is his biggest uneasiness. It seems that trust in his master is the obsession in his heart that he can't get rid of. This makes him such a straightforward person.
They all became verbose.
We didn't know how to comfort him, so we could only let him talk over and over again to vent his emotions, but the more this happened, the more excited this guy from Wal-Mart became.
Finally, at midnight, we fell asleep separately. As before, it was a quiet night, accompanied by the slight swaying caused by the water flow, and I had a rare night without dreams.
——————————————————Dividing line————————————————————
We got up early the next morning, and as planned, except for Singh who stayed on the boat, we all walked into the village.
It's not far from the village, about half an hour's journey, and we entered this small village!
This is a real small village with not many houses, but each family has a large population. Regarding our arrival, they were different from the people in the town. They just looked at us with a numb look and went about their business.
Their own affairs.
Perhaps the hardship of life has left them with little curiosity, let alone caring about the purpose of a group of outsiders. What is there to care about? When poverty reaches this level, they will feel that they have nothing to lose.
It is because of this emotion that even when Wal-Mart asked them how to get to the river bank, they were indifferent to that sensitive area where there had been accidents. Why did outsiders come to ask and gave perfunctory directions without even being interested in asking?
.
This is good, as we will be able to do our work without being disturbed. In fact, I am really worried about some shocking monster appearing underwater. After all, even my master is not sure about it.
Following the route that Walma inquired about, we finally arrived at this section of the river smoothly, one mile away from the intersection out of the village.
Our current location is on the bank of this section of the river. It is a rocky beach with exposed rocks, occasionally dotted with weeds, and the water flow on the river surface flows from top to bottom. Compared with the water flow in the main river, the water flow here appears
It was much more rapid, and it slowly became smoother until it merged into the deep pool at the bend of the river further downstream.
The section of river after the deep pool was completely calm.
Uncle Johnny walked up the bank, observing all the way, and we quickly followed him. We walked about two miles away, and standing on the upper reaches of the river bank, Uncle Johnny said: "There should be
There won’t be any exploration value. The water flow is too fast and the rocks are exposed, so it shouldn’t be a place where the existence can stay for too long.”
We also observed it carefully, and it was indeed true. The river here is narrow, and from time to time a huge rock is exposed in the river, but it is also polished smooth by the water flow. It is difficult for me to imagine what kind of existence it was.
Pass this section of the river and enter the village.
Unfortunately, Uncle Johnny was not interested in revealing the secret, and instead walked downstream again, until he reached the edge of the deep pool.
"In fact, it has left, but if the existence that has been 'polluted' by its breath is still here, it should be under this deep pool! After all, when the accident happened, the locals checked and found that there was no foreign object under the water. They
Without professional equipment, we naturally can't explore the bottom of this deep pool, but we can, let's go and see what kind of guy he is, addicted to cannibalism." When Johnny spoke, there was obviously some anger. According to what he said about
The love for this land, this anger is natural.
When Johnny said this, several of us put down our carry-on luggage. In fact, there was nothing special, just professional diving suits. Since Johnny was rich, this equipment was even more advanced than the equipment I used in Changbai Mountain Tianchi.
and professional.
According to the agreement, it should be me, Uncle Johnny, Xiao Chengqian, Chengzhen, and Wal-Mart who go into the water!
Cheng Zhen wanted to go down and observe the specific trend of Feng Shui here to see if the elegance of that existence had anything to do with this, but Wal-Mart took Brother Cheng Xin's spot and wanted to see it.
Brother Chengxin doesn't care. He has seen too many strange and weird things, and this time is not the best.
Soon, we changed into diving equipment, and then walked into this deep pool with Johnny!
The water temperature is very cold, and the more you dive, the more so. However, compared to Tianchi, I think it is not too much to call it a hot spring. And because there is no volcanic ash floating, the water here is clearer and the visibility is better than
Tianchi is much better.
However, the further we dive, the more shocked I am, because this place is even more "lonely" than Tianchi. After all, one or two cold-water fish from neighboring countries can occasionally be seen in Tianchi. We quickly descended into this deep pool.
After diving for more than ten meters, I didn't see any living creatures.
In the pitch-black water, our powerful underwater lightning is so conspicuous that there is no way we could not detect any living thing.
Obviously, Johnny also discovered something was wrong. How could there be no aquatic life on such a river bank with almost no human fishing? He made a gesture to me, which meant that he had come to the right place and continued to dive.
Naturally, we would have done this without Johnny having to say it. This strange situation had fully aroused our curiosity, so we almost speeded up our dive.
It's just that we didn't expect that this deep pool was so deep. We dived twenty meters without seeing the bottom of the pool. Even if Johnny gave us professional equipment and our physical fitness was extra strong, we could only do it at most.
Dive to 50 meters. If that is not the end, you can only use more professional equipment to explore, and I have reason to believe that Johnny will do this.
With this kind of worry, we continued to dive for another 10 meters, and we were already approaching the limit. Fortunately, through the light of a powerful underwater flashlight, we were able to barely see the bottom of the pool.
The place has become narrow. Johnny and Wal-Mart are blocking the front, so I can't see clearly what's at the bottom of the pond. I'm curious about what is there at the bottom of the pond?
While I was floating here waiting, I saw the Wal-Mart in front of me. The Wal-Mart in front of me was like a frightened rooster. It suddenly started dancing, even its movements were messed up, and it rowed upwards with all its strength. Johnny
I reached out and grabbed his feet, trying my best to signal me with gestures to calm down Wal-Mart.
I noticed Johnny's anxiety and caution, so I swam over and hugged Walma. I hugged him with almost all my strength. After a few seconds, he slowly calmed down.
At this time, Johnny motioned for me to come over. With curiosity, I quickly dived in, and then I saw an amazing scene through the flashlight - catfish, a very common catfish, there were at least ten in the deep pool.
There are several, but the scary thing is that the smallest one is about 2 meters long.
