Chapter 503 The bottom of the lake is cracked(1/2)
Ye Qinghong thought Luo Lie had given her son some revelation, and hoped that she could meet Luo Lie again when she came here. Although this hope was extremely slim, she also overcomes the difficulties and returns here. When she arrived here, she discovered that the wooden house had collapsed and was abandoned for many years. Luo Lie had never been here.
Ye Qinghong became taciturn due to disappointment. Xiao Ping'an never told any news about her father or even Canglang. After a group of people stayed there for two days, Ye Qinghong's hope gradually disappeared. She asked her son more than once, hoping to get some useful information from her son, but she got nothing every time.
It started to snow again in the early morning. In the past two days, Zhang Changgong and his men not only built shacks, but also repaired the collapsed wooden house. With Zhang Changgong and Tiewa, two excellent hunters, there is no need to worry about the New Year's goods. Even the sparrows began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the blind man helped to help.
Only Ye Qinghong was in a mess. She didn't want to do anything, and even wanted to communicate with these friends. She had experienced too many hopes in the past three years, torturing her heart again and again.
Xiao Ping'an is the happiest of everyone. He learned to catch birds with Tiewa, and Tiewa also made a slingshot for him, and he had a lot of fun.
Looking at the peace of joy in the snow, Ye Qinghong reminded herself that it was time to face reality and that she could not let her son take fearless adventures with her.
The aroma of deer-fried meat floats in the air, and the sparrows are actively preparing for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.
Ye Qinghong realized that her emotions might have affected everyone, so she decided to make some changes. When she walked towards the sparrow, she stepped on a painting on the snow, with a triangle framed with a little man.
Xiao Ping'an shouted: "Mommy, I broke my painting!"
Ye Qinghong quickly retracted her feet.
But Xiao Ping'an started crying. In Ye Qinghong's impression, her son was never that fragile. She patiently comforted her: "I'm sorry, my mother was accidentally."
Xiao Ping'an protested loudly in an abnormal manner: "You compensate me, you compensate!"
Zhang Changgong and others were attracted by the movements here.
Ye Qinghong was a little angry because of her son's willfulness. She held back her anger and said, "Ping An, will my mother draw one with you later?"
"Not good! You can accompany me!"
Ye Qinghong was in a bad mood, but now her anger was completely aroused. She said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant? Isn't it just a painting? You are so angry that you are so angry!" She grabbed Xiao Ping'an and slapped her ass twice.
Xiao Ping'an burst into tears.
The blind man ran over first, and he protected Xiao Ping'an and said, "My brother and sister, why are you hitting a child? What are you kids..."
Ye Qinghong said angrily: "I teach my son without you!"
"Your son is true, it's my nephew too! You can't beat him!" The blind man became angry.
Zhang Changgong and his men were originally watching from a distance, but when they saw the blind man joining the battle group, they hurried over to persuade him.
When Ye Qinghong saw everyone coming, she felt sad and turned around and walked towards the distance.
The sparrow wanted to persuade Ye Qinghong, but the blind man said, "Let her calm down. I don't know where the evil fire came from. What's the point of hitting the child? It's really, such a cute child can do it."
Xiao Ping'an sniffed and stopped crying after persuading several people. He glanced at his mother in the distance, as if he was a little worried.
The sparrow said softly: "Little Ping'an, be good! Good kids should know how to be tolerant. Your mother accidentally stepped on your painting just now, not deliberately destroying it. Don't be angry with her mother. Mom loves you so much. How sad she is when you did this just now?"
Little Ping An said: "But I finally drew it."
The sparrow smiled and touched the top of his head and said, "Is this good? Auntie will accompany you to draw it. Let's draw it again." She looked at the painting on the snow. To be honest, the child's ideas were strange. She couldn't understand what the painting was, so she could only ask.
Sparrow said: "What is this triangle?"
Little Peace An said: "It's a volcano!"
The sparrow said: "Volcano, um, it seems, um, how could this person be in the volcano's belly?" The part she was referring to was exactly where Ye Qinghong stepped on.
Little Ping'an said: "It's dad!"
The sparrow felt sad. The child without a father was really pitiful. She said softly: "But why do you want to draw your father in a volcano?"
Little Ping'an said: "Because dad is inside."
Ye Qinghong vaguely heard Xiao Ping'an's words in the distance, and she turned around and slowly walked back towards her son.
When Sparrow saw Ye Qinghong coming back, she hurriedly winked at her. In her opinion, it would be better for the mother and son to leave some space for each other, otherwise the child's emotions would not change so quickly for a while.
Ye Qinghong said in a trembling voice: "You said... dad is in the volcano?"
Xiao Ping'an looked at his mother and forgot to speak for a moment.
Sparrow said: "Will we draw well with our mother?"
Ye Qinghong said: "Will mom draw with you?"
Xiao Ping'an nodded: "I haven't finished drawing yet."
Ye Qinghong handed him a branch, and Xiao Ping'an drew another rectangle on the triangle.
The sparrow saw it and felt sad in his heart. Xiao Ping'an clearly painted a tomb, the triangle is a tomb, and the person is in the tomb, and now another tombstone is added.
Ye Qinghong also had this idea, but she suppressed her grief and asked, "What is this drawing?"
Little Ping'an said: "A stone spurted out of the volcano and flew into the sky!"
Ye Qinghong and the sparrow looked at each other. They all knew that Luo Lie entered the Jiuyou Secret Realm and found the Yu Shen Monument. According to Luo Lie, the Yu Shen Monument floated on the lava lake. The volcanic eruption erupted and spurted the Yu Shen Monument out of the crater. Since then, the Yu Shen Monument has nowhere to go. During the volcanic eruption at that time, the foundation of Lianyun Village for hundreds of years was destroyed. It was also at that time that Yan Tianxin led the tribe to embark on the journey of westward migration. Princess Longyu also recovered in that volcanic eruption, causing many incidents.
The sparrow looked at Ye Qinghong, and her eyes were asking Ye Qinghong. Ye Qinghong shook her head and said that she had never told this child about what happened back then.
Xiao Ping'an re-draws the villain representing Luo Lie, and then draws rotating circles around his body.
Ye Qinghong said: "What is around Dad's body?"
Xiao Ping'an said: "Repeat, keep turning!"
Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, we are going to Kaitian Peak in Tianmai Mountain, now! Now!"
Many changes can be made in fifteen years. Lianyun Village, which was as famous as Langya Village, had long disappeared from the Pale Mountain. The scorching magma that destroyed Lianyun Village back then had cooled down. The rocks burned by the fire were also covered with snow. Up the hillside, you can see many lodging trees. These trees have long died. Although fifteen years have passed since the eruption of the volcano, the ecology of this area has not been restored. There are lack of hidden trees to live in, and animals rarely choose to come here.
They all participated in the adventure of the Jiuyou Secret Realm, but only Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin who really went deep into the hinterland to find the Yu Shen Monument. Despite this, it did not prevent them from finding this mountain.
According to Luo Lie, the Nine Nether Secret Realm has long been destroyed by magma, and everything there should no longer exist.
It was already New Year's Eve. They climbed to the top of Kaitian Peak in the wind and snow, and found a small green lake at the crater. Although it was snowing heavily and it was the cold winter month, the lake still did not freeze and there was heat on the lake.
When you approach the lake, you can feel the temperature rise a little. The blind man took off his gloves and put his hands into the water. He felt that the lake water was gentle. He said to everyone: "Hot spring lake!"
Sparrow says: "Because of the volcano, there are many hot springs in this area."
Zhang Changgong said: "I don't have this lake in my impression, absolutely nothing."
The blind man said, "You haven't been here in a few years?"
Zhang Changgong thought for a while and said, "It's been nine years."
The blind man said: "In nine years, anything can happen."
Ye Qinghong said to Xiao Ping'an: "Son, do you remember dad is in the volcano?"
Xiao Ping'an nodded.
Ye Qinghong said: "I'll prepare it. The temperature of the lake is OK. I want to go down and take a look."
Although Zhang Changgong has learned to swim over the years, he can only swim. His water quality is still very poor. He can't handle such things as diving into the bottom of the water.
The blind man said, "I said brother and sister, why don't you believe Luo Lie here because of Xiao Ping'an's casual words?"
Ye Qinghong said: "He has never experienced some things, but he has made it clear. I believe my son will not lie to me."
Sparrow said: "Luo Lie disappeared near the West Sea back then, how could he appear in this place?" She also thought Ye Qinghong's idea was really incredible and could not withstand any scrutiny.
Ye Qinghong did not continue to explain because she couldn't explain it clearly. She had always firmly believed that Luo Lie would come back, and this had never changed. Luo Lie's background was different from that of ordinary people, and too many strange things had happened to him.
Zhang Changgong looked at the small lake with a diameter of about one kilometer. Although it was not very large, it must be very deep. This can also be seen from the changes in the color of the lake. The closer it is to the lakeside, the lighter the color, the more turquoise it is, it is mainly green. However, when it reaches the center of the lake, it will appear as blue as the lake water.
This is the crater that erupted back then. If the bottom is filled with magma, it may not be too deep. If it goes straight down, it will be unfathomable. Not to mention anything else, the water pressure alone will be unbearable.
The blind man said, "Okay, I'll go down with you." He knew the nature of Zhang Changgong and Tiewa, and they were not as good as him.
The sparrow said: "I'll go too."
Ye Qinghong said, "I only brought two water limbs." She said to the sparrow, "Sparrow, stay on top to help me take care of Ping'an, you can tell that he likes you."
Sparrow said: "It's better to take care of each other if you have one more person. I don't need water. My water quality is very good."
After discussing for a while, the few people finally decided to let the three of them go down together. They used the cedars on the shore to build a row of rafts. This was for the convenience of searching. The lake water was very clear, and most of the surrounding areas could see the bottom of the water at a glance. Only the part close to the center could not see the bottom. This is also what they needed to search for.
The sparrow stayed on the raft like others for the time being. Ye Qinghong and the blind man went into the water first. The lake water was warm, which provided convenience for their search. If the lake water here was not warm, they would probably be frozen as soon as the water was gone, let alone searching underwater.
Without special equipment, they can reach up to 100 meters underwater at most. However, when they dived to about 90 meters, they saw a large area of stone forest. This underwater stone forest should have been formed by the accumulation of lava from the volcanic eruption. In a pile, clusters, and looking around, some are as white as jade, some are as bright as blood, and some are as dark as charcoal, forming a large magnificent wonder at the bottom of the lake.
The two of them used lights to illuminate the underwater world, and were both amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of them. After staying at the bottom of the water for a while, they had to float to the lake to breathe.
Zhang Changgong watched nervously on the raft, and when he saw them appear, he hurriedly reached out to pull them up.
The blind man took the wine handed over by Tiewa and took a sip. He consumed a lot of energy and gasped, "At a depth of eighty or ninety meters, there is a lava forest below. Unfortunately, we can't hold on for too long and before we can search, we have to come and breathe."
Ye Qinghong also frowned. At this progress, I am afraid that they will not be able to search the area at the bottom of the lake for a month.
Zhang Changgong said: "I can hold my breath for a long time, but I can't dive. Otherwise, you can put me down with a rope."
The blind man said, "Tsk, do you think you can put it down? The water has buoyancy. Without special training, you will float up immediately."
Zhang Changgong had no choice but to hear that, Ping An said, "This is not simple. Just hold a big stone and it can sink. If you want to float up, throw the stone away."
A few people looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all ashamed. So many adults could not catch up with a child.
Zhang Changgong said: "This kid must be a character when he grows up."
Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, you'd better stop taking risks." She was really sorry to let Zhang Changgong take risks with her bad water.
Zhang Changgong smiled and said, "How can this be called adventure? Although I am not good at water, I have been holding my breath for a long time. I once tried it once. Under normal circumstances, I would definitely have no problem staying underwater for two hours." He told the truth, because he is the only psychic among this group of people.
