Chapter 37 - Ding Hai Shen Zhen(1/2)
"Holy shit, my eyes have been opened today. Is this the legendary Nine Cauldrons of King Yu?" Er Pang walked around the giant cauldron several times, his eyes shining brightly.
But I'm not worried that he will take this cauldron away, unless he is Xiang Yu's reincarnation.
"What should we do next?" I asked Shang Qingyun. After all, he is the only person here who knows the Sea Eye Dragon Palace well. Although he didn't say a word about many things along the way, I can clearly feel that Shang Qingyun is not uneasy.
I know, but I don’t want to say it or can’t say it.
Shang Qingyun nodded, then stretched out his hand to Er Pang: "Smoke, fire."
The fat man scratched his neatly trimmed board and hesitantly took out his cigarette case and lighter.
Liu Sa ran over to touch Shang Qingyun's head: "Children can't smoke, they will learn bad things."
Shang Qingyun ignored him, took the cigarettes from Er Fatty's hand, took out only three cigarettes, and then gave them back to Er Fatty.
Then Shang Qingyun took a few steps back, and then took a run-up in the direction of Yu Wangding.
Less than one meter away from the tripod, Shang Qingyun touched the ground with his feet, flew up in the air like a bird, adjusted his posture, and stepped on the tripod.
Just like Spider-Man in the Marvel movies who can fly over walls and walls, his feet are firmly attached to the bronze cauldron and he runs to the top in a vertical posture. When he is about to reach the top, Shang Qingyun steps on the bronze cauldron and flips it upside down.
He flew up to the mouth of the big bronze cauldron and landed smoothly on the edge of the mouth.
The chaotic and chaotic operation of this show made several of our scalps numb. We dare not film it in a movie or write it in a novel.
Is this something a human can do?!
Shang Qingyun first lit the three cigarettes he had received from Er Pang, placed two cigarettes on the ears of the bronze tripod, and then threw the remaining cigarette into the tripod.
"Kneel down." Shang Qingyun said.
The four of us looked at each other, thinking we had heard wrong.
"Kneel down." Shang Qingyun repeated it again.
The four of us knelt down facing the bronze tripod tacitly.
"kowtow."
We did as Shang Qingyun said one by one. We have all seen Shang Qingyun's inhuman strength along the way. His familiarity with this place is beyond our comparison. If we want to leave alive, the only choice is to be obedient.
"Don't look up." After Shang Qingyun finished speaking, he took out the map of Longma River from the scroll.
Then,
He set the river map on fire!
Although we didn't raise our heads, we all tilted our heads to observe what Shang Qingyun was doing with our peripheral vision.
When I saw that he actually burned the legendary river map, I almost screamed.
What a waste of natural resources!!
But before the pain in my body was over, I faintly heard the sound of clanking metal coming from behind us.
Senior Liu Sa was the first to realize something was wrong and pushed my head down.
The moment I lowered my head completely, something pressed against my back, passing by at lightning speed, carrying a crackling wind howling.
I finally understood why Shang Qingyun told us not to raise our heads. If I had looked up at him out of curiosity, I would have been decapitated by something flying over in an instant.
"That's enough." When Shang Qingyun spoke, the four of us stood up with lingering fear.
Then Ah Hui and I were stunned. The bronze statue that had brought us to King Yu's Palace and was parked outside actually ended up in Shang Qingyun's hands.
He lifted the thousand-jin bronze statue with his weak arms, but now it was obvious that Shang Qingyun was also struggling. There was sweat on his white and tender forehead, and he was not completely able to lift such a heavy bronze statue.
Just look at the bronze statue being carried on the edge of the mouth of King Yu's cauldron.
Shang Qingyun raised his foot and kicked off the copper cover.
I saw the water contained in the bronze statue pouring down and pouring into the mouth of the cauldron, just filling the King Yu cauldron.
Shang Qingyun put down the bronze statue, then jumped down from the big cauldron and bowed deeply to King Yu's cauldron. We also did the same.
Then Shang Qingyun muttered something, and his grammar was very obscure. Later, I couldn't remember exactly what he said. I can only roughly understand its meaning, that is, those people were ignorant a long time ago and offended the temple. Now we have returned to the original place.
Lord, I apologize.
After doing these things, Shang Qingyun jumped up again and got into the bronze statue.
We heard a squeaking sound coming from the vessel. After a while, a long iron stick was thrown out of it. It clattered to the ground and made a deep hole.
We were shocked and thought how heavy this stick was? It could smash a big hole into such a thick stone platform.
Then Shang Qingyun climbed out of the vessel, pointed at the iron rod on the ground and said, "Dinghai Shenzhen."
"What?!"
I couldn't believe my ears.
"What do you think this stick is? The Sea-Dinging Needle?" Liu Sa was also stunned, "Is it the Golden Cudgel made by Monkey King?"
Shang Qingyun shook his head: "This is true."
We observed carefully for a long time, but we did not see the words "Ruyi Golden Cudgel" written on it. Instead, there were scales one after another on the iron rod.
"That's right! That's right! I remembered it! This thing is really the so-called Dinghai Shenzhen, but more appropriately it should be said that it is a sea-measuring ruler. It is said that when Dayu was casting the Jiuding, a great god told him how to smelt iron.
And nine iron rods were forged to measure the water level. Our old man's records mentioned that these nine iron rods were originally inserted in a certain temple, how could they end up in the bronze statue?"
Erpang took out a yellowed book from his bag, flipped through it for a while, and showed it to us.
One thing suddenly occurred to me. There was not a word in this notebook about the betrayal of the archaeological team member and the tragic experience of Zhang Peng's archaeological team. The entire notebook was even filled with their detailed description of the archeology of King Yu's Palace.
.
From Er Pang's point of view, his grandfather just didn't know where he went. There was no betrayal by the archaeological team, nor was there any massacre caused by being confused by "ghosts".
Everything is beautiful. In Er Pang's mind, perhaps Zhang Peng and his archaeological team are still excavating ancient ruins in a corner of the world and contributing to the study of human history.
After seeing this, even I am not sure which one is true, the fake captain's account or Zhang Peng's notes, but I have seen the human tissue culture tank in the secret room of the sunken ship.
Although I prefer to believe that Zhang Peng's notes are the real reality, but judging from the current situation, it seems that Zhang Peng was not willing to let Er Pang indulge in hatred, so he concealed what happened to the archaeological team that year.
However, there is another problem.
I didn't see any corpses along the way, not even blood.
Maybe there is another possibility. The fake captain was indeed a BT murderer, but he was not killing members of the archaeological team. It was just because he hated the people of the archaeological team for some reason, so he killed people who had mistakenly entered the Aspiration in the past.
Those innocent people mistakenly thought they were members of the archaeological team to relieve their hatred.
But the real Zhang Peng archaeological team is missing.
Now we are very close to the real Sea Eye Dragon Palace. No matter how much we think about it, it is better to witness all the answers to the mystery with our own eyes.
"Can we enter the last floor now?" I asked.
"Almost." Shang Qingyun picked up the iron rod. We saw that Shang Qingyun seemed a little tired, so we stepped forward to help.
The five of us carried the Dinghai Divine Needle together to the huge sea cave behind King Yu's Palace.
I really admire Shang Qingyun's strength.
He bore most of the weight of the iron rod. Even so, after moving the Dinghai Shen Needle, my arm was sore and painful that I could hardly lift it. The other three were similar to me.
When we walked to the edge of King Yu's Palace, we truly realized that the huge vortex cave we saw was just a projection.
The real whirlpool blue hole is under the abyss at the end of King Yu's Palace.
It is like a huge eye hiding in the deep sea, staring at the darkness at the end. I feel that a big hand may reach out from the black hole at any time and drag us into the abyss, never to come out again.
Even if I don't have a phobia of the deep sea, looking at this endless black hole will scare me out of it.
Moreover, the sound of waves and biting cold wind can be heard from time to time in the whirlpool cave.
When we came down from the top, it was still summer and autumn, and we didn't wear much.
At this time, when we approached the Whirlpool Blue Hole, it felt like we had stepped into the Arctic Circle.
Looking at the whirlpool slowly stirring up the waves, my legs felt weak.
Shang Qingyun inserted the Sea-Dinging Needle into the groove on the edge of King Yu's Palace. I probably understood the function of the Sea-Dinging Needle.
There will always be water emerging from that huge vortex. The spray is sometimes high and sometimes low, but generally does not exceed the groove where the Dinghai Shen needle is inserted.
But once the water reaches the base of the Dinghaishen Needle, it means floods will occur.
Once it exceeds half of the Dinghai Shen Needle, it means there will be a tsunami.
If the amount of water does not exceed the Dinghai Divine Needle, it means Wuhu is doomed.
That is to say——
"This maelstrom is the legendary eye of the sea?!"
My voice was drowned out by the roar of the waves.
Shang Qingyun nodded.
"Then what are we going to do next!!!" I shouted.
"Let me guess! The Dragon Palace is right under the Eye of the Sea!!!" Liu Sa also shouted.
To be continued...
