Chapter 71: Moonrise

Uncle Ming put the “hate sky’s” scraping clam dragon two short sword to me and fat man, he said that want to dive in the return of the ruins to find a way out of life, basically have to be prepared to go back to the psychological preparedness, God knows what dangers in the depths of the water, there are boat-dwelling people ancestor of the “water-splitting sword” to defend, at least than the diving knife and fish gun reliable, I and fat man cursed Ming uncle again want to take us out as a shield. At least more reliable than diving knives and fish guns, Fatty and I cursed Uncle Ming again want to take us out as a shield.

However, at this moment can not afford to go with him again, I grabbed the time to tell everyone, it seems that the sea is about to occur a big tide, the return of the ruins at any time may be filled with seawater, stay here by the dragon fire burns only one way to die, we submerge underwater to survive, the opportunity to do so only once, never turn back the reasoning, if the lungs are exhausted and still can not swim out of the …… the result, I do not need to say. The result I do not need to say, in short, remember three points, first, team action, the same into the same retreat; second, do not delay time; third, the last moment must resist psychological pressure, must be open to go out and throw yourself, can not go back to the road.

At this time, everyone is clear, with the scuba oxygen we carry, want to escape from the ruins in the case of no certainty that there is no exit, I’m afraid that the probability of living out of not even one in a thousand, but stay in this is not uncovered by the surge of the dinghy into the water to feed the sharks, or by the dragon fire and hot springs burned to death, the state of affairs is a sharp turn of events under the one down, even the time to take a breather and consider the time is not left for a few minutes, looking at the eyes of the no longer take action! As Uncle Ming said, “If you don’t gamble, you don’t know when your luck is high”, even the smallest opportunity is still an opportunity, instead of waiting for death, why not take advantage of the energy to take a chance now? At that moment, they all made up their mind.

At this time the fire rain suddenly stopped falling, the nearby water surface sharks are grabbing the body of the snapper, the water has risen to the head of the bronze slaves, the water surface is densely packed with a piece of bronze heads, surrounded by the sound of the water surging as in the bottom of the sea to hit the bell, the atmosphere at this time depressing indescribable, but I see that it is the opportunity to get into the water, make a gesture to the crowd, buckle on the frog mirror containing the breathing tube, and was about to take the lead along with the “rim” wood. “R楗木” down to the water, but was Guchai pulled his arm.

I pushed away the frog mirror and asked: “What? You’re backing out?” Only to see Ryuto Guchai face is full of surprised and horrified look, he said to the crowd, “can not go …… I see …… a white …… white sun! !”

I heard Gu Guchai said to see the “white sun”, simply do not understand what this kid is talking about nonsense, and thought he was too nervous scared out of his head, after all, despair brings intense psychological pressure, not his sixteen or seventeen years old teenagers can withstand.

Uncle Ming but startled, in the sea to see the white sun head is not a good omen, know the sea phenomenon of the Queen of Heaven people are clear, “the sun is white, storms even the sky”, that is going to happen over the sea disaster signs, almost paralyzed on the ground, fortunately was helped a hand, Shirley Yang asked the ancient Gu Cai: “Don’t be anxious, the words clearly. Tell me clearly.”

Guchai hurriedly pointed to the top of the head: “You see, the sun is white ……” The people did not expect him to say the sun on the top of the head, in the terrain is like the belly of the whale in the return of the ruins, how is it possible to see the sun in the sky? Immediately, the eyes were brushed to the top, I did not expect there is really a white round object hanging in the top of the head, facing the “rickwood” embedded with arrows at the top of the stone.

Just now, the sea gas agitation, the rock layer of the dragon fire splash, fell a rain of fire, mid-air is the shadowy fire burning the sea to form the mist, so no one has ever paid attention to the situation above, my heart was first a bit of a shock, some puzzled, strange: “What is that?” Things happened very suddenly, a moment in the brain did not return to God, only a blank, but still know, that thing is certainly not the sun.

Shirley Yang gazed at the rock layer in the black dome obviously than the surrounding bulge a piece of, like suddenly thought of something, said joyfully: “Ghost Island!” It turned out that the white halo, not the ancient guess described the sun, but the return of the ruins were not covered by the sea in a “window of heaven”, this place on the heavenly gates, under the volcano flow, to keep thousands of years of life is not diminished, we have just entered the coral spiral when the tide is ebbing, revealing the surface of the sea, a black island, which is due to the role of the tides It is a “ghost island” that appears from time to time due to the effect of tides.

When the tide was rising, the island would be underwater, and when the tide was low, it would appear on the surface again. At the beginning, we mistakenly thought that the ghost island was the spine of a giant whale out of the water for fear that it would overturn the ship with its waves, and we had bombarded the island with Poseidon cannons to confirm that it was a small island in the sea, and that it was a lonely island in the sea, and that the ghost island had divided the Coral Spiral into east and west. We were attacked by the “Great Sea Serpent” and sank into the sea eye from the east side. I never imagined that the monument of the Hateful Heavenly Clan in the Ruins of the World would be built right underneath the Ghost Island.

More did not expect the ghost island has a skylight like cave, only through the sea, must be the sky has been bright, revealing a disc large piece of the sky light, only to be ancient guess mistakenly thought to see a big storm before the head of the white sun, estimated that this well like a cave, is not by the trident ship on the “vibration of the sea cannon” bombardment of the collapse of the look of this sun-shooting artifacts! “R楗木”, like a big tree, with arrows embedded in the stone for the umbrella cover, do potential to break the sky want to come out, the original layout of this sun-shooting totem rigorous, all have a deep meaning, and now I feel that the hate of the sky people took great pains to build a scene of mythological spectacle, which is not only to put on the appearance of so simple, which seems to be hiding what a greater secret since the Shang and Zhou Dynasty, it is Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasty, some people will be the sun, moon and stars and fish and dragons to represent the defense of the beasts, from the bottom of the sea on the broken copper ornaments on the sacred wood, that the skylight should be the moon position, I really can not guess why such an arrangement.

Fatty asked the crowd said: “gentlemen, I say we do not just focus on the marveled at, did not see the water up, we are along the sea needle to climb up, or dive into the water to find another way out? The matter should not be delayed, what to go, must hurry to decide.”

I see the ghost island is the door to the surface of the life, listen to the surrounding rumbling, it is the signal of the tide will rise, the tide increases, the ghost island must also be submerged in the underwater, only seize the opportunity to climb on the god wood to leave the return to the ruins, the rest of the things such as back to the surface of the sea and then to do the calculation is not too late.

I think of these, was about to make a decision, Shirley Yang suddenly stopped me and said: “I have just started to think that the use of rimrock wood to build giant arrows, some and Chinese civilization in those ancient legends do not match, hate the sky clan although to shoot the sun totem of the descendants of their own, but the rimrock wood is the shade of the sunken wood, it is said to be the ancient god itself, can grow from the bottom of the sea all the way to the moon palace, the windows of that cave is located in the The moon bit, must be a symbol of the bright moon, the ancient records of the Hateful Heavenly Clan is very little, but the Zhou Mu Wang period of the bronze tripod, but there is the legend of the Hateful Heavenly Clan died running to the moon, I’m afraid that it is not a totem of shooting the sun, but running to the moon of the underworld, is for the use of the dead dead, we climbed up from here, is there a danger?”

The hearts of all the people sank, the original “rickrolling” is not a war totem of “shooting the sun”, but a symbol of “running to the moon”, in the final analysis, this ring-shaped mountain is really an “ancient tomb” that exists outside of common sense. In the coral spiral sea due to the sea air condensation, idle can not see the stars and moonlight, “r楗木” top of the white light of the sky, is indeed like a round of full moon, this tree to the souls of the dead to rise under the sea of the sacred wood, it seems to be only one step away from the moon, as long as you climb on the “r楗木” top of the moon, it is only one step away from the moon. As long as you climb on the top of the “rickwood”, you can leave this chaotic sea without an exit with a single leap.

Uncle Ming see around the water on the shark shadow chaos, diving in the sea is unavoidable with the group of sharks life and death struggle, he traveled to the sea for many years, naturally know the power of which, now the situation is rather on the not, busy on the crowd said: “Miss Yang is right, in the sea there is indeed a sacred wood through the moon to die of the ancient legend, but even if it is the water underwater souls run to the moon of the sacred wood, now is also our death to life! The road to heaven is ……” said the lead climbed the ancient wood covered with dragon scales like thick skin slope, step by step slowly climbed to the skylight above, the mouth is also humming the egg people that set of miserable song to give themselves courage, sad as a wolf howling ghosts cry: “My God of the sea ah, save my bitter men! I’m not afraid of the depths of the sea, I’m only afraid that I can’t go home …….”

I see Uncle Ming has preempted the seemingly to the moon on the god wood, more than sixty years old people, said on without hesitation, hands and feet but also really sharp, the heart cursed him is only care about the individual without regard to the collective tendency of the nativist molecules, but his actions also dispel our concerns, break the boat, all here, at this point had to be the whole team climbed up the exit in order to escape, but the scuba frogs can not be thrown, grit your teeth and climbed up! If you can’t get out from above, you can still return to the water.

The second to climb on the “rickrolling” is fat, he was carrying a large bag of water lungs and green head, although the weight is heavy, but a piece can not be thrown down, weight for him to cope with, but stirrups ladder climbing move, has always been his weak point, things forced to this point, had to go out, he closed his eyes, ” Dab dab dab” a few steps from the slanting down of the giant wood even climbed a few meters.

The people linked into a string climbed this hanging full of copper chain of tall “rickrolling wood”, I do not know this ten million years old wood, but also can be able to stand up, leaned down to look around the seawater heaving and rolling, the bottom of the water can also see countless bronze slaves, there are many sharks circling in the water swimming, the entire ring of the remains of the ancient city has been sunk into the water, I was worried about Fatty nervousness over the water. The water, I worry that fat man will be overly nervous and will miss the fall, so I called to the fat man lying in front of me, “Wang Commander, you quickly open your eyes to see, we are about to climb to the moon, the moon palace of the little widow and her immortality medicine are still waiting for you to receive it.”

The fat man felt the huge wood under the water force, the cold wind from the high place down in the ear whooshing straight, where still dare to open his eyes, but the mouth can still support should, called: “Hu Bayi, this is what time, how do you start to risk bad water lack of morality, you do not know the commander of this life has such a little bit of elegance, up to the high places on the special like to close their eyes to contemplate play a little deep, we know in the heart of the mirror as if. We know in our hearts like a mirror, once you open your eyes not only can’t see the little widow, but also have to fall down to feed the fish can’t be, then I have to pull on you this lack of virtue with a smoky mat back ……”.

Flood waves in the sound of anger, six people climbed to the top of the seabed God wood, to this point has been the weight of the pressure of the back pain, although the hands and feet soft and who do not dare to let go, you can feel the air on the surface of the sea has blown to the face, a white cloudy sky can be seen clearly, but at the bottom of the “r楗木” seems to be very close to the exit, but to the front of the realization, without plugging in the wings simply not possible. Found that not inserted wings are not even possible to go out, Uncle Ming in the highest station trembling to stand up, pad up on tiptoes, do not die to reach out to reach the edge of the cave, but it is too far away, is still away from the distance of more than 10 meters, and suddenly feel disheartened, almost tipped off the sacred wood planted into the water.

I cursed this time careless, the sea did not bring a rope hook gun and flying tiger claw a class of climbing equipment, at the moment, although the height of a few steps away, but the empty since the anxiety, nothing can be done, to this point the crowd only understand that mortals are not eaten immortality drug and light body ascension Chang’e, life in the world, are flesh and blood, the quality of its heavy turbidity, even if the most sage Confucius and Mencius, have the talent of the sky and the earth or the courage of God, such as the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the west Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu, the king of the West Chu. Have cracked the silk pulling down nine oxen of the power of God, are not inevitably subject to gravity, can never be a step away from the ground and line, “flying the sky and running to the moon” will only exist in the case of myths and legends.

I climbed to embedded in the wooden end of the arrow stone, this arrow stone has been fossilized, long been washed by the sea is still tough and solid, I tried it is still solid, I only see the dragon fire in the rock layer forcing the sea haze, in mid-air, as if the bottom of the foot cloud, dozens of meters below is a piece of churning and raging chaotic water, the water is still gradually increasing the height of all the people’s faces are full of sweat and water, see the “Run to the moon! Seeing that the “Moonrise” road is a dead end, are gasping for breath and can do nothing about it.

Uncle Ming but also whimsical idea, perhaps until the water rises, can swim out of the cave through the water surge, Gu Cai and Duo Ling left and right, also do not know what to do, I heard the sky above the sound of the cracked pocket, a burst of whistling back and forth, thinking that outside the sky is just bright, it is the early tide of the first time, I am afraid that within a few moments of the ghost of the island will be submerged by rising tides, seawater will be wildly poured from the skylight in, to stay in this! Will be washed into pieces by the torrent, it seems that the sea must go down from the waterway, look down, only to see the water group of sharks and evil fish tumbling and rolling countless, is really frightening and chilling, uncovered water, not to mention want to dive into the depths, I’m afraid that as soon as you enter the water surface, it will be a group of sharks to share the food.

At this time Shirley Yang suddenly “eek” a sound, the tilt of the number of bodies, all over the diameter of many meters long arrow stone, as if the canopy of the old tree umbrella Ting Ting, arrow stone is an ancient marine fossils, the shade of the sunken wood is deposited on the seabed of ten thousand years of ancient wood, we have been unable to judge embedded in the shade of the sunken wood on the arrow stone is a natural generation, or People embedded in the decoration, but in the wood body arrow stone sparse place, there is a copper door, heavy copper plate texture are like scales, and the black scales on the trunk of the extremely close to the cracks, if not Shirley Yang in the wood body slant on the stay, it is not easy to notice.

We did not expect near the top of the “r楗木”, there will be such a large copper door, with a hand to help go to the top of the seaweed and other things, the copper grain is clearly under the sea sacred wood connected to the sea and the moon fuzzy skeleton, those who can be seen in the Western Zhou and Yinshang tombs in the flight of the bird of prey totem, more proof that this is a tomb of the tomb of the tomb, and immediately Make people think, “rickwood” hollow, hidden inside a passage, a let the dead spirit step on the sacred wood running to the moon channel, that channel must be under the “hate the sky’s” tomb, which is the same as the Chinese tomb burial customs, in the mouth of the palace left to let the owner of the tomb to fly up to the immortals of the “heavenly gate”. This is similar to the Chinese ancient tomb burial customs, in the mouth of the underground palace left to allow the tomb owner to ascend to immortality “heavenly gate”, there is a similar reason, but the dead souls running to the moon in order to seek medicine for immortality of the “heavenly gate”, is open in the delusion of the moon palace of the god above the wood.

At this time, “Coral Spiral” sea tide comes to the sky, the foggy sky light suddenly darkened, we know that the tide of water over the phantom island, immediately will be wildly irrigated down, and the “rickshaw wood” under the water also follow the rise, the sharks have eaten up the cluster grenade blasted to death the “Rigel”. The sharks have eaten up the “deep sea goldeneye snapper” that was blown up by the cluster grenade, and now going into the water is like looking for death, in front of the fangs of the sea, in the dilemma of the desperate situation, no one can not act as a good man, all have been ashen, firmly hold on the bottom of the sea at the top of the sacred wood of the arrow on the heart panic.

I see this copper door slightly into the wood, sealed very tight, I do not know whether the tomb was filled with seawater, but there is no choice, only from the tomb into the tomb, in order to avoid the upper rapids, under the group of sharks of the danger, to Shirley Yang pointed to the copper door, said: “Since we can’t go up to the Palace of Guanghuang Palace, we can only go down into the graveyard. ”

Shirley Yang nodded, will use the diving knife to pry the closed copper door, I backhanded yanked out the hate of the sky’s take the dragon’s jaw of the “ancient sword”, this time do not care about how precious this copper sword, only as a prying stick to make, I do not expect that the blade of the sword sharp and tough, strangled a few times, will cut the chain tied to the copper door.

At this time the overhead seawater has been a burst of irrigation down, the tide has not yet flooded the ghost island, but under the surge of the tide, the tide has been to the top, the time is increasingly urgent, Uncle Ming and Gu Guchai and other people look as anxious as fire, also crowded over to help, in the wet ancient trees to help open the copper door, the heavy copper door thousands of years has not been opened, now open, but no obscure gas, just moldy pungent, nauseating, revealing the darkness! A wide channel, extremely wide and deep, the ghost can not see the bottom, as if straight to the underworld.

Shirley Yang scratched a “inch of phosphorus” and threw it down, measured the air circulation, harmless, then immediately said to the group: “There is no seawater inside, the air is also safe, can go down!”

Speaking tide to the top of the head, no longer can not think more, I will be around the people one by one into the “r楗木 “中的通道, immediately after them also drilled into the hand will be the copper door reclosed, the darkness of the whole space felt a rolling thunder also sound, the sea water current impact to the bottom of the sea above the sacred wood rumbling in the big wood interior Inside the big wood, the sound is deafening, the whole body tendons seem to be almost shattered, the copper door was pried broken place, but also continue to seep down the water.

I opened my mouth wide and dare not close it to prevent damage to the eardrums, the darkness of the wooden passageway has been opened by a diving flashlight, this lighting tool in the absence of water in the environment is not effective, but can be hung on the body, freeing up their hands to do something else, I also twisted open the diving flashlight on their chest, only to see this indescribably large wooden tomb passage, around the wood of the firm and dense exception, the inner wall is rough, although it is quite large moisture, but Never stop slippery, the weight on the body of the crowd is extremely heavy, in the tilted tomb easy to get down when difficult, had to use the diving knife stuck on the wooden wall, clenched his teeth, inch by inch downward slow movement.

I don’t know how long to climb down afraid, the tide impact of the sound of the god of wood has been small, I don’t know is the return of the ruins inside the water is full, or the tide receded, but just can’t see the end of the tomb, the more to the depths of the fishy tide more pungent, and finally heard the sound of the water, the giant wood in the end.

Shirley Yang to throw a hand down a phosphorescent bomb down, light reflecting water, from the surface of the water is no more than ten meters, below is a pool of ghostly water, near and far and no landing, I let the crowd first two inflatable backpack inflatable ring ripped open, thrown on the water surface, and then one after another into the water, all struggling to swim to the side of the airbag to breathe and rest, recalling the close call just now the danger of a thousand pounds, can not help but be a little afraid.

I looked up in the bright phosphorescent light around, black tower like the bottom of the giant wood, into a piece of ancient coral reef debris formed in the cave, the following area is full of unknown depths of water, the copper door to the hole in the water, the hole piled up as large as a millstone tortoiseshell keel, bone and armor, densely packed, all the ancient symbols and marking the deduction of divinatory trigrams, but by the seawater soaked too many years, most of the fuzzy and difficult to discern, not far away on the reef Not far from the reef, placed a similar to the skull of a giant whale of ancient creatures, skulls vaguely dozens of bulging human form, may be the ancient tomb where the body, I think it is the mouth contains “face beads”, in the seabed of a thousand years of ancient corpses not to be melted.

I subconsciously touched the diving bag, then remembered that no “black ass hooves”, but there is a cold and hard “Qin King mirror”, suddenly feel at ease, want to look at the depth of the water, but found that the dial on the index has been topped to the head, I do not know whether it is broken, or The water in the coral cave is simply unfathomable.

Fatty just came down, scared legs and stomach cramps, but in the end under a look at this strange tomb and dead people, suddenly came back to the mood, pulling the crowd to go to the water to see the truth, I see that the pile of fossilized whale bones, just so that the crowd can rest a little bit, so beckoned the crowd swam over to unload the equipment to catch their breath.

The people are exhausted to climb up the reef, see a dried body of sharks into the oil, and made of fish paste lamp candle, sharks of the oil will not wither for 10,000 years, the ignition point is extremely low, as long as there is a little bit of air can be burned, just can be a substitute for saving flashlights, Uncle Ming immediately will be the “fish candles” lifted up to light up the whale bones in the number of dead bodies, muttering: “Throw your mother black, the South China Sea is really hate Tian’s tomb, these real underwater zombies are worth a lot of money ah …….”

We in the candle, not yet see the face of the blurred corpse, but first found the whale bone before the tortoise shell, there is a “shock on the shock down” mark, because it has been seen two or three times in the sea, even Uncle Ming and fat man have recognized, this is “shocked 100 miles” of the trigrams in the return of the ruins In the return of the ruins of this ancient trigram, what is the deep meaning?
