The first thousand four hundred and thirty-eight chapters of the sound at the bottom of the cave
The inn is on a ridge.
A stone path winds up from the town below, passes the ridge where the inn is located, and goes all the way to the bottom. Below is the pier.
This ridge just blocks the wind blowing from the sea for the town below.
While Yu Sheng and the others were looking around, a dirty little boy was also looking at Yu Sheng.
"You, are you the innkeeper?" After hesitating for a while, the little boy came over and asked, pointing to the signboard on the inn.
When Yu Sheng turned around, he saw that the inn had changed its sign and read "Evil Inn".
He nodded, "This is my inn, you..."
Before Yu Sheng could finish his words, the little boy had already lost his temper and ran down the hillside without restraining his speed.
After slipping on the slippery road and getting covered in mud, the little boy didn't care, stood up and continued running, all the way down to the pier.
There were some fishermen busy on the pier. When they saw the little boy coming down, they all stood up straight.
Unexpectedly, the little boy muttered something, and all the fishermen ran towards the inn.
After they reached the ridge out of breath, Yu Sheng vaguely remembered the fisherman running at the front, "You, are you a shark?"
The fisherman nodded, panting and said to Yu Sheng: "I am a shark, thank God, shopkeeper Yu, no, leader, you are finally here."
He was very enthusiastic and took out a few sea fish from the basket behind him while talking.
"Leader, we don't have any good meeting gifts. Here, these fish are given to you." Shark said.
These sea fish are thin, dry, and not at all fat as sea fish should be.
"Haha, um." Shark was a little embarrassed, "Now our Qianshan Island is in trouble because of that hole, and the fish catch has not been very good, which makes you laugh."
Yu Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He had long forgotten about the shark, but the other party was still so enthusiastic towards him.
"It's okay." Yu Sheng took over, "I'll make fish soup later."
After handing the fish to Ye Zigao, Yu Sheng explained, "I was really busy after we separated last time, so I just rushed here now."
"I know, I know," said the shark.
Later, he also sent people all the way to Yangzhou, but every time they had trouble getting away from him.
Either he was fighting a wild dog, or he was fighting some old man from Heaven, or he was being chased by Zhu Yin to Zhonghuang.
Shark also knew that the shopkeeper's problems were bigger than his, so he kept waiting.
"It's good to be here now. We're just poor and tired, but there's nothing else to do." Shark smiled innocently.
Yu Sheng nodded and asked, "What's going on at the entrance of the cave that makes it difficult for you to catch fish?"
The shark couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he simply led Yu Sheng southward and came to a cliff. He pointed at the entrance of the cave in the distance and said, "This is the entrance of the cave. I don't know why. Sometimes there is wind at the entrance of the cave.
The sea that absorbs water and stirs is like the sky in June, which changes at will."
And this sea area is exactly where they used to fish.
Yu Sheng stood on the cliff and discovered that this sea area was almost the center of Qianshan Island. Because of this, this sea area made it safer for them to fish.
"The sea is different from the land," said the shark.
They go out to sea to fish, and they are both fishermen and prey. There are countless fish monsters lurking under the water, waiting to eat them.
"We usually don't go too far away from the island. The water is so shallow that there are usually no big fish or fish monsters, but..."
The shark pointed at the two fish he handed to Yu Sheng. The water was shallow and there were no fat fish.
"This sea area is different." Shark pointed around. Although this sea area is connected to the sea, a net has been formed around the periphery of the sea area due to the obstruction of the islands. "Big fish and most monsters in the sea cannot get through.
All those coming here are some plump and good fish, and it is safer for us to fish in this sea area."
I understand for the rest of my life.
He lowered his head again to look at the deep hole.
Although the sea water rose and everything was submerged, Yu Sheng could clearly see that among the light blue near the cliff, there was a deep blue round water. Viewed from a high altitude, it seemed like the pupils of the sea looking out from an inexplicable depth.
Come here, deep, mysterious and weird.
As he was watching, there was sudden movement in the deep cave, and a stream of seawater emerged from a spring, spurting out Lao Gao.
After it stabilized, a vortex seemed to be sucking in the sea water, stirring the entire sea surface into a restless state.
"It's really weird." Yu Sheng said, "Is this really formed during an earthquake?"
What a big movement.
"It's an earthquake." The shark said it was absolutely true.
It was one night about ten years ago, when Shark was still a young man and had just given birth to his first child.
"I clearly remember that it was Ghost Walking Day. At that time, some people of unknown origin appeared in the town. People in the town said they were here to catch children, so that day every household set up a display in front of their door early.
After offering incense to the ghosts passing by, the door was closed," Shark said.
In the middle of the night, the earth suddenly shook violently.
"There were lightning and thunder in the sky, like sword rays, striking at the ridge one after another," Shark said.
Fortunately, most of the people on their island lived in thatched houses at that time, so there were not many casualties.
But for those few days, the island remained dark, and it didn't clear up until three days later.
When they reorganized their home, packed everything up, and prepared to go out to sea for fishing, they discovered such a big hole in the sea.
"Ghost Walking Day?" Yu Sheng thought thoughtfully, "Which specific year is the Ghost Walking Day?"
The shark hesitated, then after consulting with the fisherman behind him, he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, yes, I remembered."
Yu Sheng looked at him, "Which year?"
"I forgot which year." Shark smiled naively.
"Then what did you remember?" Ye Zigao asked.
"I remember that night, the two moons in the sky merged into one, and the stars moved. In short, the celestial phenomena became very weird that day." Shark said.
After hearing this, they looked at each other for the rest of their lives.
"No, this is too coincidental, isn't it?" Hu Muyuan said.
There is only one time in history when two months are combined into one: it was the year and day when Yu Sheng was born.
On that day, the witches of Lingshan claimed to have received revelation from the Emperor of Heaven, held a gathering of witches in Dengbao Mountain, and built Wuxian City.
Yinglong was born and killed the descendants of the leader of the Kuafu clan who wandered to the Northern Wilderness.
It was also on this day that Bing Yi, the Lord of River Gods in the world, jumped out of the Abyss of the End, which was three hundred feet deep in the North Dark, on two dragons.
Then, the moonlight appeared for the first time in Youdu, and then the entire northern wasteland shook.
"Since you were born, not only the Northern Wasteland has been shaken, but Qianshan Island on the sea has also been shaken?"
Ye Zi patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder, "Shopkeeper, you are such a nuisance."
"What are you talking about!" Hu's mother complained for Yu Sheng, "Shopkeeper Yu is just a monster at best."
"Go, what does this have to do with me? It's just a coincidence." Yu Sheng said.
Having said that, Yu Sheng also wondered in his heart, could he be that butterfly who flapped his wings and turned the world upside down?
It's still early in the day, so it's not the time to explore the cave entrance at close range.
They spent the rest of their lives collecting local materials on the cliff, observing the deep cave, and making fish soup from the fish.
After tasting Yu Sheng's craftsmanship last time in Yangzhou, Shark and the others have never forgotten it.
Now the fish soup cooked by Yu Sheng himself is not ready yet, and they are already swallowing their saliva.
After Yu Sheng's pot of fish soup was ready, all the attention of the little boy who reported the news to the shark was focused on the white fish soup.
As soon as Yu Sheng said it was edible, the little boy stretched out his hand to fish it out.
"Pah", the shark knocked his hand off, "Look at your potential, please pay attention to your hygiene."
After saying that, Shark smiled awkwardly at Yu Sheng, "It made the leader laugh. I, we haven't had such a delicious meal for a long time."
Qianshan Island relies on fishing for a living. Once they don't catch many fish, their lives will be stretched.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Sheng waved his hand and asked them to serve soup for themselves. "Where do you sell the fish you usually catch?"
"Go northwest, find the outlet of the river, go up the river, and sell the fish to several cities near the river in the Central Plains." Shark said.
Although Qianshan Island belongs to the Eastern Wasteland, it is already close to the Central Plains, so they have many contacts with the cities in the Central Plains.
"Central Plains?" Yu Sheng was surprised.
The shark nodded. The Central Plains goes out to the sea from the mouth of the big river and goes all the way south along the coast. It is very close to Donghuang.
However, there are many monsters and beasts in the sea, and strong winds and waves are common, so few people take the sea route.
For the rest of my life, Shark and the others had already finished two bowls of fish soup, leaving Ye Zigao and the others stunned.
After that, Yu Sheng and the others just sat on the cliff and chatted. When they had nothing to talk about, Yu Sheng simply lay on the cliff to bask in the sun.
The sea breeze is blowing and the waves are rolling. It is a unique experience to take a short nap and make up for the lack of sleep last night.
It wasn't until sunset when the tide receded that Shark and the others woke up Yu Sheng, "Leader, the entrance to the cave is exposed."
Hearing this, Yu Sheng stood up and stretched, "You guys take the detour, I'll go over and take a look first."
After that, Yu Sheng flew directly to the entrance of the cave.
After the sea water receded, the entrance of the cave lost its mystery. The edges were surrounded by small piles of rocks and aquatic plants, and occasionally a small fish was trapped in the sand.
Yu Sheng waved his hand, and the small fish was wrapped in water and thrown directly into the hole.
The water in the cave was level with the cave entrance, and no living thing could be seen except for the depth and darkness.
However, after the little fish was thrown into the water at the entrance of the cave, it seemed to be surprised and swam desperately, trying to get away from the sea water that kept it alive.
"Interesting." I became interested in it for the rest of my life.
He wanted to see what was inside this legendary temple dedicated to fire and the entrance to the Netherworld.
Yu Sheng stood up straight, held his hands, held his breath and concentrated, slowly sinking his mind into the sea water.
To Yu Sheng's surprise, there were actually very smooth and sharp edges at the edge of the hole, hanging down at right angles.
After stirring the sea water to wash away the sediment, Yu Sheng will find that the entrance to the cave is made of huge, angular stones.
Going down the entrance of the cave, Yu Sheng discovered the stone steps, which went downwards one by one, leading to the unknown depths of the cave.
"Shopkeeper, we are here, do you see anything?" While I was thinking about Yu Sheng, Fu Nan's voice rang in my ears.
Yu Sheng was about to recover his thoughts when suddenly, a voice came from the bottom of the cave.
The voice was very light and crisp, and at the same time made Yu Sheng very friendly, as if calling Yu Sheng.
