The sun at noon in August hangs in the clear blue sky, like a violently burning fireball, constantly spraying raging flames. The scorching air filled every corner of the world, making it extremely unbearable. Only the sea breeze that blows gently occasionally can make people feel a little bit of coolness.
Zhao Rui stood on the top deck of the luxury cruise ship "Hailing", leaning against the side of the ship, looking at the bikini girls playing in the swimming pool, feeling very good.
Fortunately, I didn't sell the boat ticket, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the scenery. He smiled, a little rejoiced.
Zhao Rui is a sophomore in a university in Dong'an, an ancient city in the west.
His parents died early, and he had no relatives. From childhood to adulthood, he had to earn his tuition and living expenses entirely by himself. If he hadn’t won the first prize by chance when he participated in an award program on a TV station, he had won the opportunity to take a five-day cruise on a luxury cruise ship. Absolutely can't afford the cost.
Zhao Rui originally thought that it would be more practical if this award could be exchanged for money, but he couldn't transfer the ticket until the moment before he boarded the ship, so he had to go on the cruise ship with annoyed mood and let himself Come and enjoy this luxurious five-day tour.
However, after enjoying two days on the "Hai Ridge", that annoyance was thrown away by him.
"I'll be back in three days, how time flies!" Zhao Rui sighed unsatisfactorily. His ticket included the cost of board and lodging. There is nothing to worry about on this boat. With such a good treatment
Just when he was feeling regretful, a middle-aged couple nearby chatted endlessly and walked past him.
"I heard that there are many ancient shipwrecks under this sea area!" said the husband.
"Ah, isn't there a lot of treasures down here? It would be great if we could fish them out, then we're really screwed!" The somewhat obese woman, with glowing eyes, swept back and forth on the surface of the sea. Go, it seems that there are countless treasures lying on the bottom of the sea, just waiting for her to go down and salvage them.
Standing there, Zhao Rui couldn't help but smiled when he heard this: Hearsay, but he actually took it seriously, I read novels and want to practice Taoism and become immortal! Can't tell what's true and what's fake
The husband went on to say, "It is said that a famous treasure hunting team came here two years ago to salvage, but then suddenly disappeared around here, and I don't know what happened."
"Ah? What happened?" The wife screamed, "Doesn't that mean that this sea area is very dangerous?"
"Hai Ridge is a five-star luxury cruise ship. Its routes have been carefully selected. How could it be possible to choose dangerous waters to sail?" The husband quickly comforted, "As for the disappearing expedition team, it may be because of a storm or some other reason. This kind of thing will not happen on our ship, you don't think too much... "
As the two talked, their voices gradually decreased and they walked away.
Zhao Rui glanced at the backs of the two of them, and shook his head, that woman is really too sensitive, she can think of so many things just by saying something casually.
The Sea Ridge continued to sail on the sea. I don't know when it started, the sky became dark. The thick black clouds were like galloping wild horses, approaching from far and near, blocking the sun. A low whistling sound whizzed by.
"The storm is coming, please return to your room! Please return to your room!"
Suddenly the radio on the ship rang.
"Didn't it say that the weather is fine these days?"
"Why is there a sudden storm?"
"The weather on the sea has changed too quickly!"
The tourists complained and left the deck, and the bikini girls who were playing in the swimming pool also came out of the swimming pool, wiped their bodies with towels, and walked to their rooms.
"What a damp weather."
Zhao Rui muttered something, followed behind the crowd, and prepared to go back to his room.
At this moment, a huge lightning bolt tore through the dark clouds, and hit the sea on the left side of the "Hailing" cruise ship, instantly stirring up huge waves, and then, one thunder after another exploded beside the ear, Deafening!
The "Hai Ridge" cruise ship bumped violently, and the huge hull almost flipped over!
The tourists who were too late to enter the room screamed in horror and rolled down on the deck.
Zhao Rui had just taken two steps away from the ship's side, unprepared, a huge wave hit him, and he couldn't stand still. He turned over the ship's side at once, screamed, and fell into the sea. The turbulent sea water It swallowed him up almost instantly.
"Fuck! Why am I so unlucky!"
He couldn't help cursing, and the sea water took the opportunity to pour into his mouth. He grunted a few times, began to sink, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
Just before he completely lost consciousness, a vortex suddenly appeared under his feet, sucking him into the bottom of the sea.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Rui slowly woke up from the coma. During the half-consciousness, he felt that something was blocked in the trachea, and it was extremely difficult to breathe. It is salty and astringent.
He coughed violently a few times, coughing out some of the sea water, and then he felt that his breathing became much easier, and his mind gradually became clearer.
He felt as if he was lying on a stone slab, his whole body was cold and cold.
Zhao Rui shook his head slightly, puzzled, not knowing where he was, he remembered that before he passed out, he seemed to be sucked to the bottom of the sea by the vortex. However, this small "doubt" was quickly replaced by the great joy of survival.
"I'm still alive! It's a blessing to have survived such a bad situation!"
He gave a low laugh with difficulty, turned over, supported his body with almost stiff limbs, and slowly got up from the ground, preparing to carefully observe the surrounding environment before deciding on the next step.
However, he was stunned by the sight of the sight.
The dark sea was suspended a thousand meters above him, as if there was an invisible wall blocking it from the outside. In the sea, sea creatures that had been heard or never heard of were swimming back and forth in groups.
The wreckage of countless ships was scattered in the sand on the bottom of the sea, the broken keel stretched randomly, and a few rags hung on it, floating gently with the current.
"Where am I... exactly?"
Zhao Rui took a few deep breaths, calmed down his beating heart, and turned around slowly. A huge palace with a simple and magnificent shape, as if it had stood here since ancient times, suddenly came into his sight.
This hall is made of astonishingly huge stone blocks, hundreds of meters high, and the top of the hall can only be seen by looking up.
Golden light shrouded this temple-like building. The light is like water, flowing gently, making people dazzled. Milky white clouds and mist linger around the hall, setting it off like a palace in the sky.
A silver-colored stone step hundreds of meters long stretched from the gate of the palace to his feet. On both sides of the stone steps, stone statues of strange beasts about ten meters in length were lined up neatly, imposing and impressive. Dare to watch for a long time.
Zhao Rui stood on the wide stone steps, standing in front of this sacred and majestic giant hall, and suddenly felt that he was extremely small, like a speck of dust.
It took some time before he recovered from the extreme shock. But his heart was still beating violently, and everything that appeared in front of him made him feel mysterious and puzzled.
He didn't know where he was and who built the building in front of him. The only thing he could be sure of was that he was located in an extremely deep seabed, so deep that even the most advanced submersibles in the world could not reach it. !
"It's really a miracle that I can enter this underwater palace alive!"
Zhao Rui muttered something, feeling that he couldn't find any other words to describe it except luck.
But he immediately discovered a new problem: how should he leave
Zhao Rui would not be so stupid as to want to pass through that invisible barrier and swim out of the deep sea. Not to mention those ferocious sea monsters outside, even the huge pressure generated by the deep sea is enough to crush him within a second of stepping out of the barrier!
The only hope now is that there is a passage to leave in that mysterious palace.
However, even if there is no passage in the hall, he still wants to go in and have a look.
This building stands in the deep sea and keeps hundreds of millions of tons of seawater out. What is placed in it? Will there be a shocking treasure
His heart suddenly became hot.
Without much thought, Zhao Rui walked along the stone steps to the gate of the mysterious hall.
The stone steps were high and steep, and although Zhao Rui was physically strong, since he had just woken up from a coma, his strength had not recovered, so walking this section of the road was extremely strenuous.
After finally coming to the gate of the hall, Zhao Rui suddenly found that the gate was so tall and heavy that it would be almost impossible to push it open if it wasn't for great strength!
With a feeling of luck, he tried to push the door with his hands. Unexpectedly, amidst the thunderous sound, the giant door slowly opened to both sides.
Zhao Rui was excited, and was about to walk in, when a gust of cold air suddenly rushed out from the door, almost freezing him to death!
"Damn it, does this lead to the North Pole? How can it be so cold!"
While cursing, he kept jumping back and forth. It took a while before he regained his composure. He didn't go in until the cold was gone and his body was hot.
The space in this mysterious hall is huge, it is so empty that you can’t see the edge at a glance, and the music like the sound of nature is constantly lingering in the hall, it is beautiful, low, and full of sadness, which makes people feel emotional heavy.
Golden rays of light fell from above, dyeing the surroundings in the same color. An avenue paved with white marble leads straight to the depths of the hall, where semicircular objects are neatly arranged!
Zhao Rui opened his eyes wide, trying to see the situation in front of him carefully, but unfortunately, he couldn't see more clearly because they were too far apart.
Walking along the White Marble Avenue to the depths of the main hall, the surrounding cold gradually increased, and the clothes soaked in seawater were frozen hard, as if wearing an ice coat on the body.
It took nearly an hour to run and take away, Zhao Rui finally came to the depths of the hall and found the source of the cold air.
What appeared in front of his eyes was a huge group of tombs that could not be seen at a glance!
These tombs are made of huge semicircular ice blocks, ranging in size. Some ice tombs are tens of meters high, and the radius of the smallest ice tomb is several meters high.
What's even more peculiar is that these giant fairy tombs are crystal clear, with streamers of colorful light flowing on the ice surface, which is extremely dazzling. Not only that, these fairy tombs are also extremely hard, no matter what method is used, they cannot be touched on the ice surface. Leaving even a trace on it.
In these ice tombs, some frozen creatures have fairy bones and fluttering clothes, just like immortals; Handsome, with a sacred and majestic face, with white wings on his back, like a western angel!
In front of each giant fairy tomb, there is an obelisk tombstone carved out of ice, and extremely ancient prehistoric characters are engraved on the tombstone.
"What do the words engraved on it mean?"
Zhao Rui frowned, and stopped in front of a tombstone.
The owner of this tombstone is an old man frozen in the tomb, wearing a Taoist robe, with silver beard and hair, kind eyebrows, kind eyes, a fan in his left hand, and a golden steel carving in his right. The breath makes people feel peaceful and friendly when they see it.
Zhao Rui was about to ponder the meaning of the inscription carefully, when suddenly, the words on the tombstone shone with a silver brilliance, directly hitting his forehead.
Zhao Rui only felt a bang in his head, which made him almost faint, but at this moment, he seemed to be enlightened, and he completely understood the meaning expressed by these ancient words!
The text on the tombstone is a summary of the life of the owner of the tomb, recording the past deeds of the owner of the fairy tomb.
Although Zhao Rui has been shocked since he came to this deep-sea cemetery and was almost numb, the name still made him feel like thunder roaring in his ears.
He turned out to be the supreme god of Taoism, who ruled the heavens, commanded all saints, practiced the way of the heavens, spread the virtues of the heavens, the Taishang Laojun who controlled everything in the three realms, ten directions, four lives, and six realms!
Zhao Rui quickly turned his head to look at another tombstone.
The owner of this ice tomb is actually Abaddon, the King of Destruction who blew the horn of doom in western legends, made meteors fall to the ground, and opened the gates of hell!
"How is it possible for the fairy to die and still be frozen in this tomb?"
Zhao Rui exclaimed in a low voice, even though he had experienced many storms and was always calm, his mind was in a mess at this moment.
He has never believed in ghosts and gods, and he does not want to believe in the authenticity of the words recorded on the tombstone, but this cemetery located in the deep sea, this majestic palace that can keep hundreds of millions of tons of seawater out, prevents him from using scientific common sense. Come make any explanations!
Zhao Rui wandered in the huge group of tombs in a daze, obelisk-shaped tombstones flashed past his eyes, and names that he had only heard of in fairy tales kept jumping into his mind. eye.
"Tomb of Xingtian, the Great Eastern Demon God!"
"The tomb of Michael, the Archangel of the Western Celestial Realm!"
"The tomb of Zhang Daoling, the number one celestial master in the East!"
"The tomb of Billy, one of the seventy-two demon kings of Western Solomon!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The more Zhao Rui looked at it, the more frightened he became. If the introduction on the tombstone is true, then... what kind of great changes have happened to make these immortals, gods and monsters that only exist in ancient legends in the East and West sleep in this endless fairy tomb?
