Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Chapter 217: Changbai Mountain Tianchi Water Monster

At this time, the entire Changbai Mountain Range belonged to Huaxia. Of the eight provinces of Korea in later generations (Hamgyeong, Pyeongan, Hwanghae, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla and Gyeongsang), most of the land in Hamgyeong and Pyeongan still belonged to Huaxia, and much of the land on the south bank of the Tumen River and the Yalu River was still in the hands of Huaxia.

But even the rulers of the current Qing Dynasty regard the vast Northeast region, including the Changbai Mountains and the Greater Khingan Range, as the ancestral land of the Manchu royal family.

Only Manchus were allowed to live on this ancestral land, while other ethnic groups faced a cruel choice: either be forcibly expelled and leave their homes, or be brutally killed and die.

As the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus naturally would not want to stay in the icy and snowy Northeast with its harsh climate.

As a result, for more than a hundred years in the early and middle Qing Dynasty, the entire Northeast region became sparsely populated, like a barren wilderness.

However, by the late Qing Dynasty, the situation had changed, and a trend of "going to Guandong" led by Shandong people quietly emerged.

The reasons behind this trend include not only the Northeast region's unique resource advantages such as fertile land, rich minerals, dense timber, and numerous medicinal materials, but also people's desire and pursuit for a new life.

In that era, Shandong people bravely embarked on the journey to the Northeast. They carried their dreams and hopes with them, determined to carve out their own future in this unfamiliar land.

They braved all difficulties and obstacles, crossed mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at this fertile black soil after untold hardships. Here, they worked hard, worked hard, and created miracles one after another with their own hands.

However, at this time, not only did people from the mainland flock to the Kanto region in search of new life, but even people from Goryeo began to set foot on this vast land.

They poured into Changbai Mountain, Tumen River and the southern bank of Yalu River like a tide, occupying a large amount of fertile land. Even three-fifths of the area of ​​Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain was occupied by the Koreans. They also shamelessly declared that Baishan Heishui (Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang River) was the birthplace of the Koreans.

At the same time, the government of the late Qing Dynasty was in chaos and could hardly protect itself, so it had no time to take care of the land left by its ancestors.

Thus, the wheel of history turned mercilessly, and the Goryeo people of later generations gradually occupied the entire Hamgyong Province and Pyeongan Province, like thieves, taking tens of thousands of square kilometers of precious land of China for themselves.

These lands originally belonged to China, but due to the incompetence and negligence of the late Qing government, they were eventually taken away by the Koreans.

This is undoubtedly a heartbreaking history that makes people sigh at the fickleness of fate and the rise and fall of nations.

When I collected my thoughts, I had already arrived at the south bank of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain.

It is winter now, and the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain in winter is like an ice-covered wonderland. The mountain peaks are covered with snow, which is pure and white, elegant and pure.

There is a thick layer of ice on the surface of Tianchi Lake, like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky.

The cold wind blew the snow on the shore, forming bursts of snow fog, like a dream.

The mountains in the distance are looming in the mist, adding a sense of mystery.

The sunlight shines through the thin clouds and shines on the snow, shining with golden light.

At this time, Tianchi Lake is peaceful and magnificent, as if time has stopped. It has both the coldness and tranquility of winter and the majesty and power of nature, which makes people marvel at the magic of the Creator.

"Sisters, this place is so beautiful!" Ling Zhao exclaimed.

"Yes, it feels like being in a paradise on earth." Su Quan replied with emotion.

However, Wei Xiaobao had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He used his "Intelligent Sky Eye" to concentrate his attention and carefully observe the Tianchi Lake and the surrounding areas.

The shape of Tianchi Lake is like a fallen leaf, slightly oval. It is a huge crater lake formed naturally after a volcanic eruption.

Its north-south length is approximately 4400 meters, its east-west width is approximately 3370 meters, its deepest point is an astonishing 373 meters, and its average depth is 204 meters.

The entire Tianchi Lake has a water surface area of ​​9.82 square kilometers and a circumference of 13.1 kilometers.

The water surface of Tianchi Lake is as high as 2189.1 meters above sea level, and its total water storage capacity reaches a staggering 20.4 billion cubic meters.

Wei Xiaobao used his spiritual consciousness to penetrate the ice and go deep into the freezing cold lake water.

He was surprised to find that the underwater world was so vibrant, with all kinds of colorful fish swimming leisurely in the water.

At this moment, the temperature above the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, but the thick layer of ice is like a warm protective coat, which keeps the underwater temperature at around 4 degrees Celsius. In this way, the fish can live freely under the ice and avoid the suffering of severe cold.

At this moment, Wei Xiaobao suddenly noticed two huge black shadows swaying at the bottom. "Could it be a water monster?" He couldn't help but feel a little confused and nervous.

There have been legends about a water monster in Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain since ancient times. There are many witnesses and different accounts. Some say that the water monster is slender like a snake and has horns on its head like a dragon; others say that it has a square head like a cow and a round back like a turtle... There is no consensus on the various descriptions.

However, no one can tell exactly what the water monster looks like.

At this moment, Wei Xiaobao was walking on the ice of Tianchi Lake, walking farther and farther, until he reached the surface of the lake about 200 meters away from the water monster. He once again used his magical power called "Intelligent Sky Eye" to scan the water monster under the water and successfully obtained relevant information about the water monster.

Sunfish is an ancient deep-sea fish species that has lived on Earth for 8 to million years! They are short in size, but have an unusually large head; their entire body is flat, like a wide pancake; and their amazing weight is as high as tons! These big guys can easily dive meters underwater and explore the mysterious underwater world. In addition, sunfish have a special hobby, which is to bask in the sun and enjoy the warmth of the sun.

The two sunfish in front of us are obviously not some mysterious water monsters. However, what is puzzling is why these fish, which are supposed to live in the deep sea, suddenly appeared in this Tianchi Lake?

With this doubt in mind, Wei Xiaobao decided to continue to use the power of the "Intelligent Sky Eye" to conduct a more in-depth search at the bottom of the lake. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to uncover the truth behind this mystery.
