Chapter 15 The Birth of a Family

 "My name is the mountain of Yue."
"I have been a beggar since I was a child, eating food from hundreds of families, wearing clothes from thousands of families, and growing up at the foot of Huishan Mountain..."
Huishan Insights is a self-biography.
It is recorded above that there is a local legend in Huishan. According to the legend, there is a cold pool deep in Huishan, and in the pool lives a flying silver flying fish.
At the beginning.
Yue Zhishan only listened to this as a story.
It was not until later that he was discovered by the traveling Taoist Master of Baishou Palace, and was brought to Baishou Palace, where he embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and accidentally learned about the wonders of heaven and earth.
Ran.
Treasures are rare and cannot be found except by those who are destined to live in them.
Yue Zhishan worked hard and finally found the cold pool, but there was an underground river under the cold pool, which existed at the bottom of the lake like holes on a coral reef. Each hole was a downward, maze-like underwater tunnel.
, let alone catching flying fish, it is difficult to identify the direction.
Later.
Yue Zhishan saw that he couldn't do it, so he thought of foreign aid.
Those were his two friends. The three of them had traveled together in the world in their early years and worked together to achieve great fame.
And then...
One person stayed underwater forever, and the other was disabled for life due to scuba diving.
As for Yue Zhishan himself.
"Inadvertently killing a friend, feeling guilty, trapped in the tomb of the sages."
Looking at the Huishan information in his hand, Jiang Xuan murmured: "It turns out that the elder's name is Yue Zhishan, and his nickname is Huishan Stick King."
According to the description in the book.
Huishan Hantan is nine feet deep, thirty meters, which is as deep as a ten-story building in modern times.
Of course.
If the water is only thirty meters deep, it’s actually not that big of a deal. The real difficulty lies in the underground river. The surging underground river is the real habitat of flying fish.
Hangujie’s technological level is backward.
Modern equipment suitable for deepwater salvage does not exist.
It is absolutely wishful thinking for only one or two people with good water nature to learn one or two Qigong techniques to catch fish from the deep river.
Of course.
Excluding Jiang Xuan.
Half a month later.
Huishan County, Hekou Town.
"I've heard about your son. Although he was killed by mistake, the dead gangster's family has some connections. Not only did they invite perjury witnesses, but they also bribed the county government's master to prepare to convict your son of murder, and in the autumn harvest
Ask Zhan."
Ferry.
Jiang Xuan and an old fisherman were sitting on a fishing boat.
"But you are lucky. The magistrate of Huishan County has newly married a concubine. She is very favored. As long as you have access to her connections, it is easy to turn over the case."
Jiang Xuan was busy pouring wine for the fisherman: "I can help you with this matter, but you and I are not relatives, so I can't help you in vain. Before I help you, you have to help me with something."<
/p>
A sip of wine.
The old fisherman agreed without thinking: "As long as you can save my son, I will do anything you want."
"Don't rush to agree."
Jiang Xuan continued: "I want you to dive into the cold pool deep in Huishan Mountain and help me catch a silver fish from the underground river at the bottom of the pool.
I know that you are a famous prostitute from all over the country, but I want to tell you that as long as you agree to do it, you will die whether you succeed or not.
Of course.
Your death will not be in vain. If you succeed, I will not only save your son, but also buy a hundred acres of paddy field for your family.
Even if you fail and die down there, I will save your son, but there is no paddy field, only ten acres of dry land, so I will count it as your settlement expenses."
Speaking.
Jiang Xuan signaled to the old fisherman that he could think about it: "I won't force you, but you decide whether you want to use your life in exchange for your son's life and a hundred acres of paddy field."
"Abba, Abba!"
Just when the old fisherman was hesitant, a young daughter-in-law ran up on the river bank: "Someone came to ask about the price. He is willing to buy our fishing boat for twelve taels of silver."
Look at my daughter-in-law, and then look at the small fishing boat below me.
The old fisherman quickly made a decision: "I won't sell it..."
The next day.
Deep in the Huishan Mountains, on the edge of the Cold Pool.
"This is an oxygen bottle for diving. Put the mouth plug in your mouth and rely on your mouth to breathe. The oxygen in the bottle is enough for you for eight hours."
"This is a diving goggle, a diving insulating suit, nose plugs, earplugs, a head-mounted underwater search light, and an underwater fishing net gun."
"You first learn how to use it."
"When you have learned how to do it, turn on your headlamp and go into the water with these things on. In the dark river, the light will help you illuminate your surroundings. The diving goggles will allow you to open your eyes underwater and better find flying fish."
"If you find it, use the net gun to capture it."
"This set of things is enough for you to survive underwater for a long time, and I will wait for you on the shore all day and all night."
"After one day and one night, no matter what, I will rescue your son. The only difference is that if you can catch flying fish, your son will get a hundred acres of paddy field."
Hand the diving rope in your hand to Old Man Cui.
Jiang Xuan remained calm and calm: "You know the meaning of a hundred acres of paddy fields, right?"
Looking at the dark water.
The old fisherman said in a dull voice: "My son will be called Master, and my grandson can go to a private school."
Nod.
Jiang Xuan praised: "You are a good father."
Plop...
After putting on his diving equipment, the old fisherman plunged into the deep black bottom.
One hour.
Two hours.
Time passes minute by minute.
Eight hours passed quickly. Even though Jiang Xuan was very patient, he couldn't help but sigh: "Failed again."
Yes.
The old fisherman was not the first person chosen by him.
But the fifth one.
The first four were all good divers like him. Unfortunately, even with Jiang Xuan's professional diving equipment, they could not come out alive.
Gulu...
Time has come to the ninth hour.
Just when Jiang Xuan was not ready to give up hope, bubbles suddenly rolled in the lake, and a figure jumped up from the water, holding a net cage in his hand.
"Oilfish!"
Looking at the silver hairtail in the cage, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Wrong.
The fins of hairtail fish are on the back, but the fins of this whitebait are on both sides. At first glance, it looks like there are wings on the belly of the fish.
"Flying fish!"
Life is like a dream.
Jiang Xuan was in a trance for a moment, and even had an unreal feeling like a dream.
"Cough!"
"Ahem!!"
On the shore.
The old fisherman climbed up with difficulty.
He lay on his back on the grass, took off his respirator and started coughing, the sound getting louder every time.
This is fried lungs.
The depth of Huishan Hantan is thirty meters, and the underground river is still under the bottom of the pool.
Because the water pressure in the deep water area is too high, divers cannot surface immediately. Once they surface quickly, the pressure difference will be too large and the lungs will explode.
About this taboo.
Jiang Xuan never told the old fisherman.
Because only dead people can keep secrets, he will not and cannot let a person who has been exposed to modern equipment live, so as early as the beginning of the transaction, he said: 'One life for another, the father dies and the son lives...
'
"Ahem..."
The old fisherman vented a lot of air and took in little air. He looked at Jiang Xuan with difficulty.
Chapter completed!
