Tower of the Dead Part 6 Poseidon Nameplate 1 Merciless Dilemma "I went to look for Risika. Just because she didn't come back doesn't mean she's dead in the water. In this case, one more person can always give you more strength."
I didn't tell her about the tiger-toothed fish that knocked her unconscious, as that would only cause her to worry more.
The anger in my body gradually cooled down after I stepped into the sea water, and I thought of my elder brother Yang Tian again. He was the "King of Tomb Robbers" respected by everyone in the world. When he was famous, the tycoon had not yet become famous. So-called
"Each one leads the way for more than ten years", that is to say, the rules of the world for the replacement of heroes.
It is impossible for a person to stay high and dominate the world all his life. One day he will grow old and become decadent, and then a new master of the world will come forward and become the focus of everyone's attention. As long as you are young, you will always have the opportunity to surpass all your predecessors. Perhaps the tycoon today
, is my tomorrow.
"I will become the new generation of 'King of Tomb Robbers' who will surpass my elder brother and become famous all over the world."
I paddled slowly in the water and swam towards the bottom of the tower. If something happened to Ruishika, her body would sink to the bottom of the water. This is an inevitable rule.
When I intentionally swam outside, I touched the glass barrier about ten meters away from the tower, and the barrier was a round arc cylinder, wrapping the tower in the middle. I believe that at this moment the glass box
Outside, there must be turbulent undercurrents, but we are like ornamental fish in an aquarium, swimming around freely and easily.
When a person's state of mind gradually becomes peaceful, the limit of holding one's breath will naturally be extended. This time I circled around the tower and touched the glass floor at the bottom before returning to the tower.
Guan Baoling had already come down from the top of the tower with a heavy heart and was standing on the transparent ground waiting for me.
"We were enclosed in a glass cylinder, but I didn't find Risika, whether alive or dead." I wiped the water droplets from my face with a wry smile. The soaked clothes felt like they were tightly wrapped around my body.
It's not uncomfortable, but there's nothing I can do but hold on.
I didn't find Risika, so my train of thought was cut off again. When you are alive, you need to see a person, and when you die, you need to see a corpse. This is an unbreakable truth. How could a living person like her just evaporate out of thin air?
In the space that I can search, there are no seaweeds and no microorganisms, but I can tell that all I have come into contact with is genuine seawater. Since it is seawater, how can it remain clear forever without producing microorganisms? Unless someone knows this
Part of the water has undergone special purification treatment - Guan Baoling stood by the pagoda door, her face extremely gloomy, completely different from her pearly and spring-brimmed face when she was in Xunfu Garden.
Resika is a reporter for "Discover" magazine, and her physical fitness and ability to cope with emergencies are definitely less than one-tenth of mine, so where will she go? Is there an unnoticeable dark hole in the glass cover that can allow her to pass through?
.However, she would not be so stupid as to put herself in the sea hundreds of meters deep as bait, right?
"Feng, have you ever heard of such a thing as the 'Poseidon Nameplate'?" Guan Baoling's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, like a beautiful girl holding her heart, which made me feel heartbroken.
I thought for a few seconds, then shook my head: "No, what is that?"
Guan Baoling pointed to the outside of the tower door and replied in a very confused tone: "I don't know, but Ruishika entered the water a total of five times. When she came back for the fourth time, she told me that there was a sign embedded in the tower with "
Strange characters were engraved with this sentence. Her expression was very strange, because those characters were not in the Japanese that we take for granted, nor in the globally accepted English, nor in the Spanish that was everywhere in the pirate era, but in ancient Chinese characters..."
"What?" I screamed.
"Yes, they are ancient Chinese characters. Ruixika repeated it four or five times, with a very positive tone. Those characters are the small seal script created by Prime Minister Li Si after the Qin State unified the six countries in ancient China."
"Ha, haha -" I laughed, feeling that what Guan Baoling said was simply, simply bizarre.
Guan Baoling stamped her feet in confusion and argued with a wry smile: "I know these words sound funny, so I didn't tell you everything. Although I am not proficient in ancient Chinese culture, I also know that there are some differences in Japanese pagodas.
This kind of thing may appear, and what kind of 'Poseidon Nameplate' it is - after she disappeared, I always wanted to go out and see what happened, but my diving skills are really poor, and I don't have the courage..."
I laughed for a while and stopped in order to preserve the necessary physical strength. After several dives and without necessary caloric supplements, I already felt that my physical strength was rapidly declining.
"Between the fourth and fifth dives, she only rested for a short time, probably no more than three minutes, because she looked very excited, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were shining, as if she had discovered something that could turn everything upside down.
It's the same as a treasure. I don't know what the 'Poseidon Nameplate' is, I just want to know when I can return to Fengqiao Temple. She didn't say more, and hurriedly returned to the water, only to never appear again."
After Guan Baoling calmly narrated the incident, she smiled a little sheepishly: "About the 'Poseidon Nameplate', that's all. I was wondering if she had discovered something while she was not in the water and entered along a secret passage.
Entered..." This sentence did not continue. It seemed that she did not know that in the boundless deep sea, even if a secret passage was found, it would not lead to the ground.
Guan Baoling is very smart. If Rusica hadn't disappeared mysteriously, she would not have said these words to make me laugh. Telling such a story to anyone, I'm afraid it will make people laugh.
"It's actually very simple. I just need to swim out and circle the tower once to determine whether there is any sign. Don't worry, if I find a way out, I will not abandon you, never!" I wanted to hug you tightly.
She, although she mentioned Tycoon over and over again, hurting my heart time and time again intentionally or unintentionally, I couldn't let go of this unforgettable love.
"Oh - Feng, there are some things I want to tell you. I don't want you to misunderstand. Maybe I should wait until I get out of this predicament..."
She started talking incoherently again, tapping her feet lightly and staring at the dozens of palm-sized fluorescent crabs burrowing in the sea sand under her feet, looking very worried.
I don't want to hear any more about her and the tycoon. Repeat it a few more times, and it might really drive me crazy and cause me to bleed to death.
"Miss Guan, after I make my final effort and come back, you can say more slowly, okay?" Without waiting for her to answer, I walked towards the tower door.
"Okay!" When she spat out these words, I had already stepped into the sea water.
There is no direction, no angle, and no oxygen equipment. It is not easy to find a sign on the seven-story tower, but I understand that since Ruishika has exited the tower through the door on the first floor several times,
, it must be very close to the sign, and the height will not exceed the door of the second floor.
I walked slowly in the water with almost giant strides. In the distant deep sea, many naturally luminous aquatic creatures swam erratically, some as fast as fleeting meteors, and some as if they were turning headlights.
They kept swimming toward me; some walked in a straight line, while others danced irregularly like fireflies...
When I was about to move up from the original position of the tower door, I suddenly discovered that there was a recessed hole one meter long and fifty centimeters high just forty centimeters above the door. I stretched out my hand and gestured, and the depth of the recess was at least
More than ten centimeters.
"It seems that this is it. If there is really a sign embedded in the tower, it should be embedded here. Where did the sign go? Was it taken away by the disappeared Risika?"
After returning to the tower, I felt that all the joints in my body were sore, especially my shoulders and hips. When paddling continuously underwater, these two places exert the greatest force, and were the first to feel the danger of losing strength.
It would be nice if there was a bottle of strong wine or a bonfire, which could at least drive away the cold air, but now there is nothing, not even food and water. There is no way, everything can only be endured.
I looked at my watch and saw that another twenty-four hours had passed. In this half-dark light, I couldn't tell the difference between night and day.
"I need to sleep for a while, I'm too tired. After I wake up, I will continue to look for the whereabouts of that sign. Maybe the key to escape lies on the sign..." I must have a fever, because I feel cold all the time, and my whole body is full of fever.
Trembling.
I have never been sick since I left Italy, and I have long forgotten the taste of pills. When I collapsed on the cold stone steps, I curled up as much as possible, hoping to forget the cold and regain my strength as soon as possible, so that I could return to the hospital again.
Search in the sea water - physical decline is only part of the threat. When we start to become hungry and thirsty, it is the most fatal panic.
I was really sick. In addition to being cold, my body was shaking all the time and was very hot. In my daze, I felt Guan Baoling lying down next to me, hugging me tightly, and absorbing me with her body.
The body temperature was as high as when I had a high fever, and she kept her arms around my neck and her face pressed against my forehead.
I don’t know how long it took, and I woke up from coma several times. I knew that Guan Baoling was rubbing my forehead vigorously, using the most traditional Chinese method of scraping and spreading to treat my illness. My mind was already in a mess, and for a while it was like "
The mysterious star in the "Well of Psychics", one moment is Tengjia covered in golden armor lying peacefully in the coffin, the next moment is the self-immolating Dragon Monk, the self-immolating Bingjian, the self-immolating Master Bumenlu - "Su Lun"
, Su Lun, Su Lun..." I heard my own voice. At this moment, the most urgent need is for Su Lun to be by my side, not to go to that damn Afang Palace.
Epang Palace was burned to ruins by Xiang Yu's fire. There is no doubt about this. So many historians and tomb robbers have verified it. Why bother to investigate aimlessly?
The sound of bubbles seemed to be ringing in my ears again, rolling up from the deep seabed one after another, bringing with it an extremely mysterious enlightenment.
"Brother! Brother! Where are you?" I will never forget the business of coming to Hokkaido, and I will never forget it. I remember that I once decided to look through all the books in the Xunfuyuan study room, and read those books that were related to "Zhu Fuyuan".
The books related to the mysterious prophecy of "Century" are listed separately. In addition to "Biluo Huangquan Sutra", "Century" is also the key to uncovering the mystery of the disappearance of the eldest brother.
"What did the elder brother discover from "Centuries"? He has been involved in stealing ancient tombs all his life. He will never just do it for money, fame, and treasures of the dead, but has a greater pursuit. I am sure of this. Otherwise, he also
Then you won’t still be wandering around in the world after you become successful and famous, searching hard.”
I have a severe headache, as if it is going to explode in all directions. I am trying my best to adjust my breathing, hoping to use internal force circulation to dispel the wind and cold that invades my body. I still have an unyielding belief in my heart that one day, I must be an invincible leader.
The tycoon bowed before me. If he wanted to completely win Guan Baoling's heart, he must defeat the tycoon and surpass him in terms of money, power, power and ability.
"I want to find a way to break the black magic, help the tycoon get rid of the strange disease as soon as possible, and then become a fair competitor!" In a daze, I kept turning over on the cold steps, and there was almost always a trace of blood on my forehead.
Feeling the coolness of Guan Baoling's palm.
"She is mine, she belongs to me! She must be mine!" When I thought of Guan Baoling, I subconsciously clenched my fists, as if this could keep her forever and hold her in my palms forever.
Coma and strange dreams continued to play out in my mind - I saw a dozen gray military submarines passing over the glass box, but they couldn't find us under the cover of seaweed. The bright underwater searchlights were straight.
Moving forward, they did not realize that there was such a large and strange building hidden right under their noses.
I wanted to scream, but it felt like there was a piece of cotton stuffed in my throat. It was choked and painful, and I couldn't make a sound. I couldn't even speak or breathe. I was like a fish thrown on the beach, dying and waiting to die.
"How can we...return to the surface? If we can come in unintentionally, will we go out unintentionally? What is the Poseidon nameplate? Why is it written in ancient Chinese characters and embedded in this inexplicable building? Resika
Where? Where did she go? Where did the sign go?"
I woke up and still had a splitting headache, but at least my mind was gradually getting clearer. In fact, I was woken up because Guan Baoling kept shouting in a hoarse voice: "Wind, get up! Look what happened, I
So scared! I'm scared...get up quickly..."
She was so frightened that she screamed and cried, shaking my arm vigorously.
With my head as big as a bucket, I forcefully opened my eyes. I was lying on the steps, with Guan Baoling's black fox fur underneath me.
She knelt in the center of the glass floor, raising her arms and waving them feebly in the air.
"What...? What happened?" I stood up, feeling exhausted and weak. I felt dizzy and almost uncontrollably fell down again. It seemed that I had never had a fever to this extent. Although I didn't have a thermometer, I could roughly estimate
, it was also over 40 degrees Celsius. My joints ached, and my stomach felt like I had drunk too much strong soju. The burning pain was severe, accompanied by bouts of retching.
"There is a mysterious big hole under our feet! Look, it's a... hole, a hole with a glass cover... What is that? Is that the palace of Poseidon or the devil's eighteen levels of hell? Come and take a look..."
Guan Baoling's voice trembled so much that the syllables broke, and she couldn't say a complete sentence, and she couldn't convey her meaning at all.
I took a deep breath, forced myself to gather my internal strength, and let the heat stored in my Dantian slowly roll through my meridians. In such a severe illness, it is really not suitable to take the risk of using "Bing Jie**", so I can only slowly
Come on, lift yourself up little by little, twist your neck hard, and look at Guan Baoling's feet.
The serious illness and physical exhaustion also made my eyes blurred and my vision blurred. After more than ten seconds of adjustment, I could clearly see that strange changes were taking place under the glass floor.
It was as if a strong blower was blowing crazily onto the sand bed. The off-white sea sand was being rolled up in large tracts, and all the seaweed, gravel, and sandworms were being driven away along with the flying and rotating salon. The sea
The place where the sand moved the most has formed a sand pit with a diameter of more than one meter deep. A strange red light is projected into the sand pit, as if a powerful searchlight covered with a red cloth is working below.
The red light shot up through the glass floor and hit the roof of the first floor, forming a red spot with a diameter of nearly one meter.
I was six meters away from the sand pit, and my line of sight was blocked. I couldn't see what was below, but I could feel that the source of the red light was very strange - although it was called "light", its composition was similar to that of "light".
Light on Earth is completely different, because it's not actually a simple empty light, but like a thick "haze" of light that has actual mass.
If you have a high-power optical magnifying glass, I think you can definitely analyze that this is a "light fog" carrying countless particles. But how can the fog enter this space through the glass? Has the glass already been broken down?
