The monk who is going to cross me is bent

In winter, the waters of the Kuanjiang River changed direction and flowed westward, and the boats sailed down the river at a very fast speed. After saying goodbye to the land, they came to the mysterious west.

The river is vast and boundless, and sometimes there are jagged reefs and islands above the river. Experienced people can tell at a glance that the underwater environment is dark and difficult to see, so be extra careful about the hidden reefs in the waters.

The speed of the water flow is astonishingly fast, which is very unusual on such an empty river surface. After driving for a day, they reached an area that had never been explored.

Chi Wang was alarmed by the movement on the boat. He came out of the cabin and saw the deep water vortex on the river.

One vortex next to another, forming a continuous piece, and the nearby water flow can be seen from a distance being sucked in, like an invisible air hole in the river.

Everyone had never seen such a scene on the river before. If the new ship hadn't escaped at full speed after discovering it, it might have been sucked into the vortex.After asking Chi Wang for instructions, the ship carefully kept a long distance from the vortex, turned its direction and stopped going head-on, but tentatively moved slowly on the edge.

"It's strange... Although there are hidden reefs here, there are no reefs on the water surface, and there is no obvious river flowing in. Why is there such a huge eddy here? It doesn't make sense." The owner of the shipyard explained the discovery of the westward journey Recorded one by one on the paper, thinking, "The river to the west, no matter the direction of flow or the whirlpool, everything is unreasonable... I don't know what terrible things are waiting for us in the future."

"Unreasonable." Chi Wan repeated, but nodded, "I think the more unreasonable, the closer to the truth... This ship is really good, and it can get rid of the suction of the vortex at this distance. At this point, sail the boat around to see if you can find calmer waters, and continue westward.”

Thanks to this new boat, it can still maintain its direction in such a torrent of water, and move forward steadily and far around the whirlpool.It's just that after walking like this for more than an hour, a new change happened on the surface of the river.

"Turn back! There is a reef above the river ahead, turn the rudder quickly!"

The people on board rushed out upon hearing the wind, but found in a panic that they could no longer control the direction and speed of the ship.

"Why can't the bow move! The water suddenly became so rushing?"

"The continuous reef cuts off the water flow, and the river water is forced to flow in the same direction, so the water flow here is much faster than the other side... No, hurry up!"

The hull was forced to tilt to the right by the current, and Chi Wan looked at the water in front of the boat. At the current speed of the boat, if he wanted to avoid hitting the reef, he had to turn the bow of the boat in time, and then sail towards the whirlpool.

When sailing towards the vortex, it is difficult to get rid of the impetus of being sucked in. If you choose to go head-to-head against the rocks, you don’t know if the hull will be scratched by the hard rocks, causing the river water to flood into the cabin and sink into the river after losing buoyancy. middle?

Chi Wang sighed silently, the complexity of the western waters was beyond his expectation, could this ship only take him here?

It was too late to think about the scene in front of him. Now that his strength has been fully restored, Chi Wang, who is far beyond his heyday, jumped from the bow of the ship to the slippery reef not far away.

His hand stunned everyone on the deck, a moment of flash, the helmsman missed the only chance to turn the rudder, and the current brought the boat to crash uncontrollably towards the reef.

But the expected violent impact did not appear, and Chi Wang stood on the reef, reaching out to support the tilted hull.

The people on the boat looked at him dumbfounded, and then Chi Wan pushed the big boat away from the direction of the reef and vortex with soft strength, and the sails roared in the air, as if riding the wind and breaking the waves.

The owner of the shipyard suddenly came to his senses, and shouted at the stern of the ship: "Master, come up quickly!"

Chi Wang acted as if he hadn't heard this sentence, but just casually looked at Vortex in the distance.

The endless vortexes seem to be an impenetrable barrier on the river, which will trap all those who try to come from the water, leaving no chance of passing through by chance.

Chi Wang stared thoughtfully at the distant river, and as far as he could see, the other side of the vortex was still the flat river.

There is a vortex where the water flows in this place, but there is no obvious change in the water flow on the other side of the vortex, indicating that there may be faults in the underwater environment here, which must be very dangerous.

Before coming, he still underestimated the difficulty of the voyage.Looking at it like this, the boat is absolutely impassable.

... But if you don't rely on a boat, what if you only rely on a mortal body?

Chi Wang took a long breath, kicked his legs obliquely on the reef, and plunged into the water far away like a dexterous fish in the direction of the whirlpool.

The shipyard owner's heart-piercing "Master of the Door" sound cut off in the air, and only the sound of fierce collision water remained in Chi Wang's ears.

The underwater vortex stretched into a white air flow, stirring up the river bottom sand and mud like a tornado on land, affecting the viewing distance in the water.Chi Wang tried to swim through these vortexes underwater, but just a little closer to the air column, he could feel the huge suction from the center of the vortex.

Now Chi Wang is no longer invincible on land, but he has never used his abilities to fight against the forces of nature.However, the power possessed by his body should not be underestimated. With his full efforts, he kept his body from being sucked into the vortex, and shuttled between several vortexes underwater, just like picking up a boat with his bare hands. A miracle beyond the human realm.

This row of dense vortexes has a large diameter, and Chi Wan finally passed through the raging range of the vortex when he swam until his breath was exhausted.

It's just that when he reached the other side of the vortex... Chi Wan immediately noticed the abnormality.

Coming all the way from the Kuanjiang River, the river flowed westward, and just after passing through the vortex, he seemed to have crossed an invisible and distinct line at the same time, and he could clearly feel the river waves coming from the east.

The water flows from the two directions converge here, and when they merge with each other, a vortex is created, which can explain the reason for the formation of the vortex in the water.

Nothing could be seen on the surface of the river, but... what caused this diametrically opposite current?

Chi Wang floated to the surface of the water and took a quick breath, then dived back into the water to observe. Chi Wan dived down and saw many rotting ship wrecks at the bottom of the water.

In the past 700 years, an unknown number of ships have died here, especially in the whirlpool area. Almost every damaged ship board records a living past.

The speed of the water at the bottom of the river is obviously faster than that at the surface of the river, which shows that the underwater environment below must be something special.Chi Wang guessed that there may be cracks and new water inlets here, and he is not sure what he can find here, but since there is no harvest on the nearby river, it is better to start studying the strange phenomena at the bottom of the water.

For thousands of years, the rotten wood of the sunken ship at the bottom of the river has been entangled by aquatic plants, and has become a shelter for fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish at the bottom of the water. The sun shines into the bottom of the water dimly, and Chi Wang walks around the sunken ship while looking for the current. Changing locations, floating up to the surface of the river to inhale fresh air from time to time, this process is constantly circulating.

...until a sunken ship caught his attention.

Under the scouring of the waves, the sunken ship has been quietly staying at the bottom of the river for an unknown how long, and the degree of decay is very serious. The reason why it is more eye-catching than other sunken ships is that Chi Wang saw a familiar sign on it.

Chi Wang realized something almost immediately. He swam down, approached the wreckage and pushed away the water plants. As expected, on the hull, he saw faded and mottled traces - a huge "Mu" character on it, indicating the age of the ship... …even identity.

He just froze for a moment, then immediately dived into the boat to search, but unfortunately the inside of the boat was too dark, he swam out again after entering for a while.

Chi Wang's heart was pounding. Being able to see Bei Mu's surname at the bottom of the river proved that his guess about Wuzheng Valley was roughly correct. Wuzheng Valley was to the west, and he didn't look in the wrong direction?

This boat painted with the word "Mu"... used to belong to Mu Beixi?In his later years, Mu Beixi suddenly disappeared. Chi Wang suspected more than once that the tomb he built had never been used, so where did he die in the end?

And it seemed that this secret was about to be revealed, so Chi Wang held back his emotions. If Mu Beixi died at the bottom of the river, he would not be able to find his body now, so he could only pray for something else to happen to him.

Chi Wang continued to explore possible information, until he swam a long distance without knowing it, and then suddenly realized... the water flow changed direction again.

He floated to the surface of the river to take a breath, drew a map in his mind for the route he swam just now, and suddenly realized—according to the directions of different nearby currents, can he calculate an intersection point and record the source of the torrent?

Regardless of whether this conjecture is correct or not, it is worth exploring. Chi Wang re-entered the water and headed for the speculated location.

The more you swim in this direction, the more you can feel the resistance in the water. Chi Wang made a decision in his heart to use his strength that has already surpassed the scope of ordinary human beings to send himself deeper into the bottom of the river against the current.

At this time, the terrain at the bottom of the river dropped sharply, and the sunlight became more and more difficult to reach. Chi Wang was completely invisible in the upturned sand, so he had to adjust his direction according to his own feeling, and swim to the place where the resistance of the water flow was strongest.

The water flow was almost powerful enough to break human bones, and it hit Chi Wang fiercely, and the inner breath circulating in the meridians automatically unloaded, and Chi Wan gritted his teeth and approached inside.

His breath was gradually exhausted in such a fierce confrontation, and Chi Wan didn't want to fail, and kept approaching his limit until he hit something hard.

At first, Chi Wang thought that an undercurrent and big wave had hit him, but soon he discovered that he really touched a solid body.

Chi Wang immediately leaned his body up to resist the impact of the water flow. He groped for a place where he could hold his hand, but he didn't know what he touched, and a green light lit up in front of his eyes.

Before he could see what it was, Chi Wang felt that the thing in front of him suddenly disappeared. Before he could struggle, the roaring river water carried his body and beat him inward. Chi Wang was forced to choke into a mouthful of river water and lost control of his body for a while. , was thrown heavily onto something hard.

The sound of the surrounding water collided, and the choked river water made Chi Wang cough violently... He immediately realized that he was indeed coughing, which was almost unbelievable. He actually breathed air again under the water?

A bright light suddenly lit up around him, and Chi Wan stood up with his body propped up, seeing the river water being drawn out and the air reinjected, making his breathing no longer difficult.The water level was dropping rapidly, from the depth of his knees, to his ankles in a blink of an eye, and then disappeared.

Chi Wang was soaked in the water for several hours, and then survived when the bottom of the river was almost dead. It was not easy to hit this place by mistake along the way.When Chi Wang looked at all the unfamiliar equipment in front of him, it seemed like a world away for a moment.

It wasn't until all the water was drained that the door in front of him opened abruptly, and layers of soft lights spread out, revealing the vast space inside.

Chi Wang walked in hesitantly. In such an unusual and unfamiliar environment, he didn't know where to go... He looked at the bright ground where he was standing, but found that there was a series of footprints left on it. The traces of dry water fell and extended to the depths.

Judging from the size of the footprint, it was left by a tall adult man, Chi Wan's heart moved, and he followed the direction of the footprint.
