Chapter 209 Chapter 68: Underwater Organs

Against the background of the dark red rocks, the lake water looks extraordinarily blue, and the calmness of the lake water is a bit strange. First Young Master Liu looked carefully, and then asked with some doubts: "Senior Jia, will there be fish or other creatures growing in this water?" Jia Zhuangyuan said: "This is a volcanic lake. There will be no fish life in the volcanic lake at the initial stage of formation, but as time goes by, man-made or natural rain and snow will slowly produce some aquatic life. But compared to Lakes and rivers on the ground have limited species and quantities of organisms."

First Young Master Liu hesitated for a moment and then asked: "But, it seems that there is no sign of any living things in this lake? It's so calm and scary." Jia Zhuangyuan looked at the lake quietly, pondered for a while and said: "This volcanic lake has been formed for a very long time, it is impossible that there are no aquatic organisms. Anyway, let's find a way to go down first." At this time, Young Master Liu was beside Jia Zhuangyuan, and he felt that his expression was a bit strange when he said whether there were living things in the lake. He suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, Jia Zhuangyuan seemed to be hiding something.

Everyone slowly walked along the crater and began to look for a way to go down.Everyone turned around the crater, and finally found that there was a place with more uneven rocks, which was easier to walk on.Therefore, everyone agreed that Jia Zhuangyuan and cabbage caterpillar would go down first to explore the road. The cabbage caterpillar went down the rope first, and then the two began to slowly climb down the rope, using both hands and feet.Others stood on the edge of the crater, watching out for the movement below for them, waiting for them to reach the junction of the crater and the crater lake smoothly.

After more than ten minutes, Jia Zhuangyuan and cabbage caterpillar arrived below smoothly. They walked left and right, saw that the terrain was relatively flat, and waved to everyone to go down. So, the crowd divided into two groups, grasping the ropes and slowly descended to where Jia Zhuangyuan and cabbage caterpillars were. After coming down, the lake was basically only a few meters away from everyone.Looking at the color of the rocks under my feet, it seems that they have been washed by water. It seems that the lake has once submerged the place where I am now.It's just that, for some unknown reason, the water in the lake retreated or part of it evaporated.

Jia Zhuangyuan saw that everyone had come down smoothly, so he said: "First of all, let's walk around the volcanic lake first. If the entrance of Wuji Dao Zang is really in the crater, it must be very secret, but it must be There are artificial traces. Let’s explore carefully. If we find artificial traces, we probably have to go into the water for a walk.” Everyone froze for a moment, what?Want to go into the water to find it?Seeing that everyone was astonished, Jia Zhuangyuan smiled and said, "It's not unusual. My companion and I found an ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty on the bank of the Yellow River more than ten years ago. The entrance is under the water of a tributary of the Yellow River."

Yang Weidong shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "This ancient man's idea of ​​hiding the entrance of his tomb in order to prevent his tomb from being robbed is really weird." Jia Zhuangyuan laughed and said, "It's nothing out of the ordinary to hide the entrance of the tomb in the water. There are even more strange things you don't know. For example, hiding your own coffin in the belly of some animals. Of course, these animals also Not an ordinary animal. Cut the nonsense, what is our mission? Let's go, brothers." After finishing speaking, he turned around and took the lead to walk along the left side of the volcanic lake.First Young Master Liu waved his hand, motioning for everyone to follow.So, everyone followed Jia Zhuangyuan and began to carefully explore the entrance of Wuji Dao Zang.

Along the radian of the crater, everyone can only see the monotonous dark red and uneven volcanic lava. After tens of millions of years of wind and rain, some of them have been severely weathered and turned into ashes with a light touch. Everyone is like this, around the cliff of the crater, observing, touching, hoping to find some clues to the entrance, but to everyone's disappointment, they are close to the place where everyone started, but there is still no discovery. Not even a trace of human presence.Back to the position where they came down from the crater, everyone felt a little frustrated.Could it be that Jia Zhuangyuan's judgment is inaccurate, this volcano is not a volcano that hides the entrance to the Promise Demon Treasure.

At this moment, First Young Master Liu said to Jia Zhuangyuan: "Senior Jia, since we found no clues on the lake, why don't we explore the volcanic lake?" When things go wrong, there must be a demon. He always feels that there are some terrible things in this calm and strange deep volcanic lake. Jia Zhuangyuan's expression seemed to be a little anxious at this moment. He didn't answer Young Master Liu's words, but lowered his head in thought while walking back and forth, gently tapping the dagger in his hand on the cliff. go.With the collision of the dagger and the hard volcanic basalt, there was a crisp "jingle" sound.

While everyone was watching Jia Zhuangyuan walking back and forth in silence, suddenly, there was a crisp sound, Jia Zhuangyuan suddenly stopped, and began to carefully observe the rock that the dagger touched just now . Everyone walked over without knowing it, to see what Jia Zhuangyuan was observing. There seemed to be some excitement in Jia Zhuangyuan's small eyes, and he gently tapped the dark red rock with a width of more than one meter and extending to the lake water for an unknown length.Then he slowly scraped the surface of the rock with his dagger, and then scraped along the direction of the rock, even reaching the edge of the volcanic lake to scrape, and finally spread the scraped powder in his hand, from He took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at it carefully.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at everyone excitedly and said, "If my guess is correct, this long strip of rock is not naturally generated, but artificially synthesized." Everyone was very surprised when they heard it. This hard volcanic rock is no different from the surrounding rocks. It is artificially synthesized?What's the meaning? Jia Zhuangyuan continued: "Everyone knows that this volcanic basalt is formed after the magma cooled after the eruption. It is very hard and dense, and contains a large amount of crystalline copper and calcite. However, I discovered it by tapping just now. It’s a completely different sound from the surrounding volcanic rocks. And then from the powder I scraped off, this long rock contains almost no crystalline copper and calcite. Do you know what this means?”

"Synthetic? Is this rock synthetic?" Someone responded to him with doubts. Jia Zhuangyuan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! Exactly." Cabbage caterpillar shook his head and said: "It's impossible, this basalt can be melted in the current technology, it can be refined into fibers, and can be used for many purposes, but if the crystalline copper and calcite inside are decomposed, this basalt can also be melted. It's not basalt. How do you forge them into such a large long piece of rock?" Jia Zhuangyuan laughed a few times, looked at everyone and said, "Maybe it is impossible to do this with technology now, but someone can. I guess this person is definitely not from this world. If you find him, you will find the root of all doubts." You have seen the Ge ruins, you have seen the Wuji Buddha Treasure, do you believe that current technology can do that? Haven’t we seen the experience with our own eyes?” Cabbage caterpillar was tongue-tied, shook his head and smiled wryly, unable to speak anymore.The others didn't say anything more. Jia Zhuangyuan also smiled at this time, pointing to the long strip of rock that extends into the water and said: "As you can see, there are faults in the middle of the other rocks, but this one extends all the way into the water. It is a sign of artificial traces and a clue to guide us. The entrance to the Dragon Tomb must also be in this volcanic lake." First Young Master Liu said at this time: "Senior Jia, what should we do now? Should we go down to the lake to find the entrance of the Promise Demon Treasure?" Jia Zhuangyuan said solemnly at this time: "One thing, I think I should tell everyone now, this volcanic lake and the Tianchi above the Tianshan Mountains, Lake Patar in Xinjiang, and Loch Ness in Scotland are all a geographical system. The terrain here has a long history and can be traced back to the late Triassic period, and it has the aura and dragon aura in Feng Shui. Moreover, it has not been destroyed by humans, and some prehistoric creatures have not become extinct. Another point, that is, through I have heard about this legendary lake during my previous travels in Tibet, and there is a little-known legend about this lake.” At this point, he suddenly turned around and looked at the calm and somewhat strange lake, and continued: "In the third year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty, that is, in the year of AD, it was recorded for the first time that a monster appeared in this volcanic lake. Then, it was recorded in the Ming Dynasty In the first year of Jingtai and the 16th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, water monsters were found here. Because of safety awareness, modern people believe that this place is inaccessible, and no one has ever descended to the place where we are now. Therefore, the legend of water monsters is no longer No one has seen it." Cabbage caterpillar frowned at this moment and said, "Senior Jia, you mean that there is something in the water, and you think this thing is a spirit that guards the next level?" Young Master Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood why Jia Zhuangyuan's expression was a little weird when he asked whether there were fish and other creatures in the water when he saw the volcanic lake.It has to be said that this old man has too much experience, no wonder he is the master of the gold world.
