For the rest of my life, I recovered my thoughts and turned around to say to the rich and the troubled.
"Go down, go down?" Fu Nan and the others looked into the bottomless hole, their scalps numb.
"This is not good," Hu Muyuan said.
"Why, are you scared?" said Ye Zigao, "If you are scared, let's go back and let the shopkeeper go alone."
Ye Zigao also felt a little scared, so he took this opportunity to retreat.
"What a joke, am I scared?" Mother Hu looked over from a distance and took another look, "I'm afraid there are some monsters inside. What if they fall in love with me?"
He took a step back and said, "You know, I'm so handsome and I'm very popular wherever I go."
"Get out!" Yu Sheng and others said in unison.
At the same time, Yu Sheng no longer discussed with them, but just stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the sea water parted, revealing the steps.
"Don't forget, in the sea, I am the most powerful now, and no one else is my opponent." Yu Sheng said.
King Donghuang was imprisoned, Zhu Yin was imprisoned, and he spent the rest of his life in the sea with no one to do anything about him.
"By the way, don't you want the treasure inside?" Yu Sheng turned around and asked.
Immediately, the three people said righteously: "Shopkeeper, we don't feel comfortable letting you go down alone. We brothers have to share joys and sorrows, so we will accompany you down."
The three of them also emphasized the words "share joys and sorrows" very seriously.
"You don't trust me, are you afraid that I will take the treasure to myself?" Yu Sheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, if you have my share, you will have your share."
Having said that, without hesitation for the rest of my life, I took the lead and walked down the steps.
Fu Nan and the others followed closely, and Shark led a few fishermen to follow them. In the backpacks behind them, torches for lighting had already been prepared.
However, the entrance to the cave was slightly brighter, so they did not light it for the time being.
The little boy walked in front of the shark, walking carefully.
There were some aquatic plants and some unknown mollusc carcasses piled on the steps, making them slippery and difficult to walk. On both sides, there were bottomless abyss and sea water. This made the little boy take every step carefully, fearing that something might happen.
Accidentally fell directly below.
However, the more you fear something, the more it will come.
After taking only three or four steps, the little boy accidentally stumbled and fell directly into the abyss.
"Guawazi!" The shark reached out to grab it, but missed it. His heart thumped and almost stopped beating.
To their surprise, what saved the shark Yu Sheng was that after the little boy fell into the water, he seemed to have fallen onto the cotton and bounced back, being firmly held by Yu Sheng.
After Yu Sheng left him behind, he said, "Don't worry, I told you, no one is my opponent in the water now."
Even if the King of the Southern Wilderness and the King of the Northern Wilderness come, he still has the capital to deal with them.
After seeing that the surrounding seawater could catch people, Shark and the others felt relieved and went down the steps much faster.
Along the way, they saw many fish, corpses of monsters in the water, and some sea beasts that they had never seen before including sharks.
There was also the body of Monk Hai inside. Ye Zigao almost thought that Monk Hai who was traveling with Guagua died here.
"There are many sea monks on the beach. Mr. Ye must have made a mistake." Shark said.
"Made a mistake?" Ye Zigao felt a little regretful, "That's a pity."
"Uh..." Shark and the others looked at Ye Gao in surprise.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking forward to his death, I'm saying that if it were him, the shopkeeper could resurrect him directly." Ye Zigao said.
The shark suddenly understood, and the anxiety he felt before entering the deep cave was relieved. Even if he dies, the leader of the alliance will be resurrected, so there is no need to be afraid.
They walked down for a while, and Ye Zigao suddenly stopped, pointed to the cave wall next to the steps and said, "There are two words here."
The little boy immediately approached the person next to him, "Fu Nan", and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't even recognize the two words.
"It looks familiar." Fu Nan said.
"Let me take a look." Yu Sheng came back, wiped away the water plants and seaweed on it, and frowned, "This is ghost writing, and there is a word for water in it."
I have practiced the word "water" many times in the inn during my life, so the word "rich and hard" looks familiar to them.
"What does this mean?" Fu Nan asked.
"I don't know, I think it's either a water control or a water-avoiding rune." Yu Sheng said.
After he wrote down the ghost words, he continued walking down. After an unknown amount of time, when the little boy's legs were sore, they finally reached a platform.
The platform is very large, and it stretches out in the cave in a place that does not touch the ground at the front and does not touch the store at the back, which looks very abrupt.
Yu Sheng also used his feet to sweep away the mud under his feet, and found that it was a whole stone slab, so it was possible to appear in mid-air in this deep cave.
On the wall of the platform cave, there is a majestic, spectacular and simple door.
The huge stone door was tightly closed, with ghost characters carved on the doorposts. There was a plaque engraved on a stone slab above the door frame, with two large characters written on it: Tianci.
This is written in ordinary text.
"Tianci?" Fu Nan pronounced it.
"Tianci?" Shark said in surprise.
Ye Zigao looked back at him, "Old Shark, do you know him?"
Shark nodded, "Is this the temple our ancestors worshiped?"
"The legendary temple dedicated to fire?" Yu Sheng said.
Shark hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That's right."
The humans on Qianshan Island are not the people from the Central Plains who migrated here. They are descendants of the ancient human race in the Eastern Wasteland.
Shark was a little happy. At least the information he gave to Alliance Leader Yu was correct. It seemed that this deep cave was the temple where the divine fire was enshrined.
Hearing this, Ye Zigao geared up and said, "Quick, let's go in and take a look. Maybe the fire is still there."
Shark shook his head, "I won't be here."
Ye Zigao, who was eager to try, frowned, "Did he really get snatched away by King Donghuang?"
The shark shook his head again, "We don't know where this rumor of being snatched away by the king came from. But in fact, according to the few words left by our ancestors, although the temple worships fire, this fire is not that fire, and you don't exist at all.
The fire that is believed to be real.”
Ye Zigao and the others were confused, and Yu Sheng was also puzzled, "What do you mean, there has never been a fire in the temple?"
Shark thought about it and said, "How should I put it? For us, fire is not a real fire, but a fire of hope and a fire of survival."
A long, long time ago, almost at the same time as the Central Plains, the ancient human race appeared in the Eastern Wasteland.
But because the Giants occupied the entire Eastern Wilderness, there was no place for the Eastern Barren Human Race in the Eastern Wilderness at that time.
"The clan chiefs have passed down word of mouth that at that time, the Eastern Barren people could only live under the giants, or be enslaved by them, or serve as their meals." Shark said, he is the current clan leader of Qianshan Island, so he knows this.
"Our tribe couldn't stand their bullying and couldn't match them, so we decided to go to sea to make a living," Shark said.
Eventually, their tribe settled down on Qianshan Island.
The clan leaders at that time could not have imagined that this move would actually make them the only surviving lineage among the ancient human races in the Eastern Wasteland. As for those ancient human races in the Eastern Wasteland, they were either wiped out by the giants, or they had conflicts with the giants.
Later, the people from the Central Plains who migrated south merged together and became indistinguishable from each other.
"In the early years when we first arrived on Qianshan Island, our people's beliefs were very mixed," Shark said.
They believe in almost anything, they believe in the rewards of farmland and the gifts of the sea. In their understanding, everything has animism.
At that time, King Donghuang had not yet landed ashore, but was still swimming in the sea, or perhaps competing with Zhu Yin for the position of Lord of the Four Seas.
So they don't believe in King Donghuang either.
But a hundred years after settling on the island, everything changed.
