Chapter 43: Finding the Door

After that day, we stayed in the quiet Haijia for three consecutive days. In the early morning of the fourth day, we went to sea again and headed to Tianyun Water Palace.

The bones of Hai Dongqing's parents are enshrined in the ancestral hall. He has been talking to his parents these days, talking about everything he has experienced since his parents left.

Mr. Hai also stayed at the ancestral hall like Hai Dongqing, but his emotional recovery was faster than we imagined. At least he didn't wipe away tears like Hai Dongqing.

After discussion, we decided to retrieve the bones of Mr. Hai first, and then bury them together and send them to the Hai family's ancestral grave.

This time we went into the sea with Mr. Hai, and he was very talkative.

"It's okay, you don't have to let me go into the sea. When you go down, I will turn around and jump into the sea from the side to follow you. I want to see who can stop me, an old man."

There is nothing bragging about what Mr. Hai said. Although he is older and his body is not as strong as before, ordinary people are really not his size.

Just put it like that.

Mr. Hai can hit two of me, but he can hit three. This is no joke.

Of course, there are people who can stop him. Hai Dongqing, a birdman, is enough to stop the old man, but he is responsible for blocking the pursuers, and the only ones going down are Fat Uncle and I. If there is an accident, there will be no help.

In the end, after much deliberation, we agreed to Mr. Hai's request.

after all......

The person buried in the invisible Tianyun Water Palace is his biological brother.

"After you go down, I will be responsible for helping you find the real door, and then..." Before the fat uncle could say the next words, Hai Dongqing shook the eight-legged golden eyeworm in his hand.

holding the bottle, interrupting him: "Then I will take the lead in, Fat Uncle will be the second, Grandpa, you will be the third, and the wood will be responsible for breaking the back."

The fat uncle thought for a while and saw that Hai Dongqing had no intention of wavering, so he could only agree.

"Old man, we still have about twenty minutes to get to the place you mentioned. Everyone, please get ready. Aren't you going to go to the sea soon?" Sanhu reminded in the cabin: "Warm up, be careful if you get cramps."

I smiled, nodded, and said thank you.

Tianyun Water Palace, this place is a historic site full of stories for me.

Haijia.

Lafayette.

Three entire generations have been inextricably linked to this historic site.

After so many years, the people who escaped from Tianyun Water Palace were either dead or alive, and they were not as complete as the number of people who went into the sea to hunt for treasure.

"This wetsuit is a bit tight, is the size 4-4 too small?" The fat uncle twisted the waist of the bucket and sighed in self-admiration: "Is it any bigger?"

"It's best if it's close-fitting. If it's loose, it will be inconvenient to move around." Hai Dongqing said.

I looked at the fat uncle's beer belly with gloating, lowered my head to check the equipment on my body, and fiddled with the hanging respirator a few times, and I couldn't help but feel excited.

To the east of the Bohai Sea, in the deep sea, an ancient ruins is waving to us.

Maybe it’s because men have a love of adventure and excitement in their genes. The uneasiness, fear and even extreme caution that we had hidden in our hearts before coming here have all disappeared at this moment, replaced by unconcealable excitement.

The yacht was speeding on the sea, and I felt the sea breeze blowing gently on my face, and I couldn't help but enjoy it.

I have to say, the weather is quite nice today.

"arrive."

Sanhu called us, my body trembled, and then I started laughing.

Yes... How can I not be excited to go to such a historic site and eliminate harm for the people?

If Uncle Haidongqing and the others hadn't gone down with me, I would have been so weak that I couldn't even move on the boat. But if they had gone down with me, then I wouldn't be a coward, and my fighting power would be overwhelming.

After Sanhuzi carefully inspected our equipment, he took us to the edge of the deck and raised the guardrail.

"A few words of encouragement to boost morale before going down?" I asked, looking at the blue and black water beside the boat.

Mr. Hai smiled: "What are you talking about? Let's walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Hai put on his respirator and jumped straight into the deep sea.

Following the thud, the fat uncle also jumped in, but he was very flattering to me and said something before entering the water: "You guys just have to breathe (go down) to eat, it's relaxed and happy."

"Uncle Fatty is comforting us and making us less nervous," Hai Dongqing said.

I hummed.

"Are you nervous?"

"Don't look at my legs shaking a bit, I'm excited."

"Oh." Hai Dongqing replied: "Let's work hard together. We will definitely come back alive. At most, we will be a little injured, but..."

Before he finished speaking, I kicked him into the sea (note that the word "kick" contains many of my emotions called "so cool"). Under the eyes of Sanhu, who was stunned for a while, I also

Jumped in.

I guess the three tigers have never seen anyone dare to kick the eldest son of the Hai family like this.

But today I’m going to let him learn a lot about him. Damn it, what did Hai Dongqing’s grandson say? Wasn’t that a curse on a group of us?!

Fortunately, I don't have a knife in my hand, otherwise I would have to use one...

"Hello, Brother Hai."

Although I couldn't speak or open my mouth in the sea, I still showed a cute smile to Hai Dongqing, who looked murderous.

As if the previous kick was not mine, I looked at him aggrievedly and performed self-hypnosis.

Three seconds later, I was sure that the kick was not from me, so my expression became even more fearless and showed no hint of guilt.

Hai Dongqing was probably confused. Seeing the expression on my face, he thought for a moment and followed Uncle Fat and the others to the bottom of the sea with doubts.

"Looking at your expression at that time, I thought it was Sanhu who kicked me." Hai Dongqing told me afterwards: "If I hadn't suddenly forgotten about it when I got ashore, I probably could have beaten Sanhu directly."

The facts tell me that Sanhu's life is very good, at least he didn't get beaten for no reason.

After swimming a certain distance, I suddenly saw the trench not far in front of us. It was like the scene in the story of Mr. Hai. The depth of the trench cannot be judged with the eyes. It can only be understood after diving down.

"My grass is so dark..." I had already turned on my headlamp, and with the white light, I kept looking left and right at the trench that was slowly devouring us, and suddenly I found that the light was not effective in the trench.

If the transmission is too far, at least the place that can be seen clearly with light is only about four or five meters. Beyond this distance, it will be difficult to see clearly.

The rock wall of the trench was extremely steep. After approaching the rock wall, I shined a light on it and studied it with curiosity.

There were many empty clam shells, crab shells, and some things that looked like algae on the stone wall. Apart from that, there were no other unknown objects, especially no living creatures.

At this time, I felt a sudden tightness in my chest, as if I was being pressed down by a big stone. I had this feeling before but it was not so obvious, but now why...

Hai Dongqing's headlight flashed twice. According to what was said in the previous discussion, this was a signal to me. Then I squinted and looked down, and I saw this grandson waving to me.

"Diving is really not for humans." My originally steady breathing gradually became difficult. I felt stuffy in my lungs, there were signs of stars appearing before my eyes, and my head began to feel dizzy.

Isn't this a good sign? If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have dared to risk my life.

I was very excited before, but now I understand that everything is because I am too young and I still need to train my eyesight.

It would be great if tasks like diving in deep water could be left to the birdmen from the beginning. I would be responsible for the rear support and give them a mouthful of health from time to time...

"arrive."

My eyes lit up, my swimming speed slowed down, and even the dizziness in my head subsided a lot in an instant.

Our group was only about one or two floors away from the bottom of the sea, and the distance was even shorter, because I found that the white light of my headlamp could illuminate the bottom very clearly.

Just like the story told by Mr. Hai, the seabed is covered with bottomless caves, about two meters in diameter, and the shape of the cave entrances is very irregular.

Fortunately, I am not a patient with trypophobia, otherwise I would be paralyzed here now.

Hai Dongqing's hands clasped the stone wall, just enough to stabilize his body. His eyes looked sadly at the caves in the mountains and fields below, and he did not move for a long time.

"Which is the real door...there are so many fake doors...how can anyone find it..." I helplessly turned my attention to the fat uncle who was scanning the bottom of the sea from left to right.
