The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Did you know that there are monsters in this Tianchi!"

A tourist uncle stood on the top of the mountain and talked to Tianchi.

There were many tourists surrounding him, and Li Muchen also approached curiously.

"When I was seven years old, I stood in this position and saw a monster swimming in the water with my own eyes. The thing's head was bigger than a cow, and it dragged a long line of water behind it. I don't know how big its body was in the water. It could only Saw a shadow."

"Are you bragging?" A tourist laughed, "How many years ago were you seven years old? At that time, you came to Tianchi to travel?"

"Tch, why am I lying to you? My dad is a forest ranger. When I was a child, I often climbed Baishan Mountain with my dad. I have watched the sunrise over Tianchi Lake so many times. I was not the only one who saw that thing. Several people at the monitoring station also saw it. After seeing it, they even wrote an article and published it in Guangming Daily, you can check it out."

"It's all fake!" Another tourist said, "Maybe you have only seen it before. In the past ten years since tourism has been open, it has been crowded with tourists every day, and everyone takes pictures. How come no one has seen it again?"

"That's right, Tianchi is a volcanic crater that erupted a few hundred years ago. There isn't even a small fish in it. Where did the monster come from? Technology is so advanced now that if there is something, it would have been discovered by an unmanned submarine."

"I can't help you if you don't believe me." The man shrugged, "You talk about science, so I'll talk about science to you. Do you know how deep this Tianchi is and how much water it holds?"

When no one answered, the man smiled proudly.

"Let me tell you, the average water depth of Tianchi is two hundred meters, and the deepest point is close to one hundred meters west. The total water storage capacity exceeds two billion tons. Where does this much water come from?"

"This is not easy, it's raining!"

The man showed a hint of disdain and said: "There is an opening in the north of Tianchi. [-] million tons of water flow out from there every year, forming the Chengcha River and Changbai Falls, which are also the source of the Songhua River. But Tianchi's annual flow The amount of rainwater is only [-] million tons, of which there is a difference of [-] million tons of water, not counting evaporation. Tianchi has not been dried up, so where does this [-] million tons of water come from every year?"

After hearing such detailed data, the people around them suddenly became curious and listened with their ears pricked up.

Someone said: "It must be underground water, otherwise where else could the water come from?"

"Underground water?" The man pointed at the peaks surrounding Tianchi, "Do you know what altitude you are standing at now? Tianchi is the highest volcanic lake in the world. Within a thousand miles, there is no higher mountain than Baektu Mountain. Okay. We all know that water flows to lower areas, but how can we send the groundwater from lower areas to a lake more than two thousand meters high? Unless there is an underground waterway on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that leads to Mount Paektu!"

This stunned everyone who listened.

Yes, where does the water come from?

Lake monsters and the like can be considered nonsense, but there is real data on the lake. How to explain it?

"Then where does this water come from?"

People looked at the man eagerly.

But the man's answer was disappointing.

"How do I know where the water comes from? I'm just telling you that Tianchi is very mysterious. Don't deny others so easily. Eighty million tons of water comes at any time. What's so strange about a water monster?"

"That's right. I also heard that there are dragons in Tianchi, and the East China Sea Dragon Palace is connected underneath!"

"Hey, this seems to have some basis. The water monster he saw was a dragon, and the [-] million tons of water came from the East China Sea."

The tourists suddenly became enthusiastic. While filming short videos, they made all kinds of guesses, which became more and more outrageous. From the Dragon Palace to Kunlun, even the Queen Mother's bathing pool was arranged.

"There is a legend among us older generations that someone once saw a fairy bathing in the lake."

"Is your family's surname Dong?"

People burst into laughter.

Li Muchen shook his head with a smile and left slowly.

However, the [-] million tons of water of unknown origin still gave him some inspiration. There must be a waterway at the bottom of the lake, not necessarily the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but perhaps some secret realm.

He decided to wait until night, in the dead of night, to go into the water to find out.

I went into the water at this time and was photographed as a water monster. It will probably be on the news headlines tomorrow.

It was just noon, and the mountains and plains were full of tourists, red and green, crowded with hiking trails and trails around the lake.

This flowing popularity is in sharp contrast to the quiet Tianchi.

The smoke of human beings overshadowed the breath of nature, making this place lose its mystery.

Li Muchen was among the many tourists, wandering with the crowd while searching for suspicious earth energy disturbances in his consciousness.

But unfortunately, he wandered around for a whole day, from the north slope to the west slope and then to the south slope, and even went to the east slope in Goryeo, but found nothing.

In the evening, tourists began to come down the mountain one after another. When there were fewer people, the world became much quieter.

Li Muchen sat on the top of the mountain, staring at Tianchi and the vast mountains in a daze.

The mountains below cast huge shadows on the lake in the setting sun.

Tianchi is like a beauty who has been sleeping for thousands of years, lying there quietly, beautiful and peaceful, but without the breath of a soul.

Li Muchen thought of Lin Manqing lying like that at home in Hecheng.

He became a little anxious.

Seeing that there were few tourists, he found a deserted corner, jumped into the lake.

The lake water is cold and clear. Looking up from the water, you can see the skylight, cloud shadows and the mountains of the Western Zhou Dynasty. With the ripples of the water, it seems that the whole world is illusory.

The further you sink, the dimmer the light becomes. After a few dozen meters, it is already dark, but when you look up, you can still see a blue swaying light and shadow.

Li Muchen suddenly thought of Shen Guanghai.

I heard that all the light there will be sucked into the seabed. The higher it gets, the darker it gets, and the lower it gets, the brighter it gets. It’s hard to imagine what that would be like.

Thinking of what Ma Shan said about whether Shen Guanghai was the center of the galaxy, Li Muchen couldn't help but want to laugh.

Baishan Tianchi is a huge volcanic crater. The lake is very deep. The deepest point is about [-] meters. However, the water temperature has not dropped much, but has become a bit warmer.

There are some tiny bubbles at the bottom of the lake because there are magma pockets underground and the temperature of the formation is relatively high.

Li Muchen discovered that water seeped out from the ground.

But underneath is thick basalt, and no entrance to the secret realm was found.

As the tourist said, if there is no higher water source nearby than Tianchi, it cannot be ordinary groundwater.

Then there is only one possibility, the entrance to the secret realm is under Tianchi.

But it was impossible for Li Muchen to penetrate through the several kilometers thick basalt layer and drill into the magma sac.

So we can only go to the outskirts of Baishan Mountain to look for possible entrances and exits.

Fatima said that Ebony Concubine attained Taoism in Baishan and was the guardian of White Mountain. This place is probably Ebony Concubine’s dojo.

He decided to go down the mountain and go to a nearby village to find an old man to ask about the White Mountain Goddess and the White Mountain Guardian.

As long as it exists, there will definitely be traces left behind.

Li Muchen floated up from the bottom of the lake. When he was still dozens of meters above the water, he realized something was wrong.

There are water waves on the lake. Although they are very light, you can still tell that they are not normal wind waves.

The direction of the ripples comes from the east.

Li Muchen dived to the east, close to the center of the water pattern. When he surfaced, he saw a woman playing in the water by the lake.

At this time, the west bank of Tianchi was already very dark, but there was still a trace of the sunset's afterglow on the eastern slope that shone on the top of the mountain, reflected on the lake, and shone on the woman's pure and charming face.

She was floating in the water, and through the waves, in the faint light and shadow, her beautiful and plump body was looming, swaying like a mermaid.
