Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The fat man saw a female corpse and made a fuss, waking up Gu Cai. Gu Cai was very happy to see the fat man and his friends, and even his sleepiness disappeared instantly. "How did you find us here?"

The fat man looked at the others carefully and saw that no one was seriously injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We saw you were swept away by a whirlpool at first. We didn't find anything after we went into the water, and we couldn't see where everyone was swept away by the whirlpool. We could only pass the reef area and keep going forward. Now we have found a place called Ghost Island. We came down from a lake."

Hu Bayi added: "Yes, there is a big lake in the middle of this ghost island. We saw a small island in the middle of the lake. When we got on the island, we found that it was not land at all, but something built by humans. We saw a door after going into the water. We spent some time to open the door. After we came down, we saw the rope you left behind. We found you not long after we followed it."

Don't be fooled by the two people's understatement. In fact, it is not that easy. Let's not talk about other things. First of all, the bronze gate submerged in water is not so easy to find, let alone so easy to open.

The gate had been submerged in water for thousands of years and was covered with water weeds. If they hadn't taken the trouble to clean it up, there would have been no sign of a gate.

Jiang Xinxin gave Jiang Xiaoguan a look, and Jiang Xiaoguan reached into his backpack and took out a very simple and ancient mirror, which even vaguely had a golden color, and handed it to Hu Bayi.

Jiang Xinxin explained: "After we were swept into the water by the whirlpool, we passed out. When we woke up, we found that we had come to a cavity. Perhaps because of the air pressure, we could still see light coming through the sea water above, but we couldn't use it as leverage, so we couldn't go back up the same way."

"And the so-called shipwreck ruins should be that cavity. It seems that every once in a while, a huge vortex will form in the sea water above it due to the change in air pressure. If a ship happens to pass by, it will be easily sucked in."

"We found the Mary Senu down there. Jiuri and Gucai got the captain's diary. Xiaoguan and I encountered an octopus living in the Mary Senu. We only picked up this ancient mirror in a hurry, but we found that it was not the legendary Qin King's Bone Mirror. Instead, it might be the Gua Mirror cast by the people of the Hentian Clan commissioned by King Mu of Zhou."

Hu Bayi turned the mirror over and over, and finally believed Jiang Xinxin's words when he saw the four empty spaces on the back of the ancient mirror. "It is rumored that King Mu of Zhou made the people of Hentian Clan cast a hexagram mirror and hexagram symbols. The mirror has only one side, but there are four symbols, one for a dragon, one for a human, one for a ghost, and one for a fish. The most valuable of them is the dragon symbol. Legend has it that the dragon symbol can attract thunder and allow people to ascend to heaven and become immortals. But the dragon symbol in my hand, although it can attract thunder and allow people to ascend to heaven and become immortals, has no possibility of allowing people to ascend to heaven and become immortals."

Jiang Xinxin, Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri looked at each other and all felt that the reason why Hu Bayi and the other two came to the South China Sea to look for the so-called Qin Wang's Bone Mirror might be hiding some unknown secret.

The three of them were just guessing and could not express their guess out loud, so they could only keep it in their hearts for the time being, and plan to go back and investigate Professor Chen and Professor Sun who had first mentioned looking for the "Qin King's Bone Mirror".

However, judging from the current situation, Professor Sun is more likely to be the suspect. After all, Professor Chen is an old friend of Shirley Yang's family. He once led a team to investigate the ancient country of Jingjue. He was even seriously injured after returning from the ancient country of Jingjue. If Shirley Yang did not have some "money power" to send him to the United States for full treatment, he would probably not be able to return home now.

The two first met Professor Sun in Gulan County, near the Western Zhou Dynasty ancient tomb where Hu Bayi and his friends had been. Hu Bayi and his friends were completely unprepared for Professor Sun. Not only did they tell him about the Zhuchen Pearl, they also showed him the King Wen's tortoise shell.

But it was futile to think so much at the moment, so everyone quickly calmed down and continued to rest. As for whether everyone should go up directly or continue to walk down, they would have to decide after they had a good rest.

After everyone had rested, Jiang Xinxin confessed to Hu Bayi and Fatty, "We went down to the underground not for treasures, but to eliminate the strange beasts that should not appear in the ancient tombs."

"You have a lot of experience, and you should understand that if the so-called tomb guardian beasts in many ancient tombs are leaked out, they will definitely cause immeasurable damage to the outside world."

"This Guixu land has accumulated a lot of Moon Yin power over thousands of years. If we don't consume it quickly, when the Moon Yin power explodes, who knows what disaster will happen?"

"So, Xiaoguan, Jiuri and I, we must continue to move forward. We must kill any strange beasts first, and we must also destroy the formations left behind by the people of the Hatetian Clan."

Gu Chai was the first to say he wanted to follow: "I am a remnant of this place, and perhaps the only one left of the Hate Tian clan. I want to see what my ancestors did, how they survived here, and why they had to return to land."

Black Glasses patted Gu Cai's shoulder and pretended to scold him, "You are quite quick, blind man. I and your lady are in the same group, but you got the upper hand to show your loyalty!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty first recalled the yellow-skinned tomb they encountered when they went to the countryside. They found a dragon talisman in the yellow-skinned tomb and saw with their own eyes that the yellow-skinned tomb was struck by lightning. Then they thought of the huge corpse-scented konjac and Kunlun wood in the ancient Jingjue Kingdom, the piles of mutated poisonous snakes in the ruins, and the spiders and bats in the Western Zhou Dynasty tomb in Gulan County. They felt that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Xinxin and the other three did.

So the two of them wanted to join in.

Now that the decision had been made, everyone continued to dive. It was completely dark underwater here, without any light at all, and they needed a flashlight for lighting. The fat man saw a big fish with its eyes closed and not moving in the cave next to him. He immediately became interested and reached out to touch the fish's tail that was shining brightly. However, he didn't expect that just as he touched it, the big fish suddenly opened its eyes and jumped out, which scared him.

Although the fat man was a little fat, he was very agile. He pulled Gu Cai beside him to the side. In a blink of an eye, more big fish jumped out of the cave. Gu Cai directly attacked them with a harpoon. Jiang Xinxin, Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri also gathered around. The weapons of the three were not ordinary stuff. Killing these strange fish was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

These monsters quickly dispersed, and everyone smiled at each other and quickly left. Unexpectedly, in just a short while, they were sucked into a space where even water could not enter.

When Hu Bayi was sucked in, he picked up something. Now he felt that even the gravity here was different. The water above seemed to be held by a thin film, and not a drop could fall down.
