The Secret of Lake Tai
After reading the newspaper, the calmness in Duan Yu's heart seemed to have disappeared. This matter was too unbelievable. The things in his dream were actually true. Shangguan Linger had been paying attention to him. When she saw Duan Yu's expression gradually change according to the words on the newspaper, she was also very strange."What's wrong, Xiao Yu? Could it be that you've met this Deity before?”
"What's so strange about that? Our Taihu Lake has gods descending every year, and each of them is similar to ordinary people like us. If it weren't for the occasional person who saw them ascending from the ground, would they not know? However, it was also strange. Why did these gods only come out in the past few years?”A local next to him said.
When Duan Yu and the others heard this, they couldn't help but become interested. They looked at the local together."Uncle, can you tell us what those gods look like? Also, when did they often come to Taihu Lake?”Shangguan Linger said sweetly.
The local chuckled and said,""Of course, our Taihu Lake is the most hospitable place. Today, I will tell you a little secret. This secret is not known to many people.”
Sure enough, when they heard the secret, they could not help but look nervously at the middle-aged man. Seeing that he had successfully aroused their desire for knowledge, the middle-aged man was also very happy."This has to start from twenty years ago. At that time, a huge red fireball fell into our Taihu Lake. At that time, it was really earth-shattering. Even the army was alarmed and closed the Taihu Lake area for three months.
Do you know about meteorites? That was a rare stone that fell from the sky. With such a huge commotion at that time, this stone was not small either. However, the military and public security salvage teams did not find anything. They even invited experts from the ocean to help. In the end, they had no choice but to leave. However, this problem was not solved. Half a year after the meteorite fell, there were often unusual Buddhist lights appearing here. Oh, I was wrong. It was the aurora. Those auroras should have appeared in the north and south poles. However, they often came here.
Back then, the geologists were also very interested in this, so they set up a monitoring station here to observe the auroras and study them. Later, they did the research, and the result was that the meteorite disturbed the local magnetic field, so the auroras often appeared. However, the auroras in the sky could be explained, but what about underground? Hehe, you guys don't know, right?
In those years, people often went to the lake to search for treasures. On the 15th of every month, regardless of whether there was a moon in the sky or not, Taihu Lake would appear with colorful lights. Therefore, everyone thought that there was some treasure in Taihu Lake. In the end, the baby didn't find it, but many people drowned. In the end, the government had to order that the lake was not allowed to search for treasures.”
"Then what does this meteorite have to do with the gods? Why didn't you mention those gods?”Shangguan Linger asked curiously.
"This is what I'm going to say next. Even so, the lake has calmed down. However, it has been a little restless over the years. To be precise, it started eight years ago. At that time, a fishing boat went into the lake to fish, but guess what they caught.”The middle-aged man kept her in suspense again.
Duan Yu laughed. It seemed that this guy was bragging more. If there was really a huge change, the country would have come to investigate long ago. Now, there would not be any incidents of seeing gods frequently. Little Xiang 'er was still a child, so she was very concerned about these things. When she heard this, she also began to think hard. Duan Yu gently stroked her little head, she looked at Duan Yu and then at the middle-aged man, and then said,"Did you catch that meteorite?”The others also laughed. This was really the talk of a child. If it was that meteorite, there was no need to keep them in suspense.
The middle-aged man also laughed."Little girl, we really want to pick up this meteorite. Unfortunately, so many people failed in the past. How could a small fishing boat be able to pick it up? This thing is a living thing. It's a fish, a strange fish. This fish has four eyes and a strange head. It's like a huge stone, but it has a snake-like body. Everyone says it's a monster, but those experts say it's a new species. In the end, they salvaged it in Taihu Lake. After salvaging it, they found that this thing was actually very rare. In the end, except for two that were taken for research, the rest were put back.
However, the people and experts at the time did not expect that these seemingly harmless small fish would bring unpredictable consequences to everyone. And those strange things began at this time. People often went missing while fishing. After returning to investigate, they found out that there was a water monster in Taihu Lake, and this water monster was the strange-looking fish. When the fish was small, it was not even the size of a human finger. However, when it grew up, it was more than 20 centimeters, and the largest was more than half a meter.
Not only did they attack the fish in the water, but they also attacked the fishing boats and fishermen. This made it difficult for everyone. The fishermen did not have any fish to catch and did not dare to approach the lake. How could they survive? Therefore, the government organized a large-scale hunting activity. However, in the end, they caught some water monsters, but the results were not great. Firstly, these water monsters were all alone, which was very disadvantageous for fishing. Secondly, they were very aggressive. Often, every fish would cause fatal damage to a fishing boat, and a slight carelessness could cause people to die under their mouths.
Just as the government and fishermen were in a fix, some immortals came. They usually didn't interact with ordinary people and moved alone. However, many people had seen their grace. Some people had seen the immortal standing on the water without sinking, and some people had seen them fly in the sky like birds, flying dozens of miles. The most exciting thing was that those masters were not afraid of those strange fish at all. They killed them one by one and even took the fish gall. It was said that the thing was especially similar to the human eyes. If it was taken with medicine, it could strengthen the body.
That's it. Those experts often come to help us kill monsters. Tell me, aren't they living gods? A few years have passed. Although we still occasionally see a monster fish in the lake, overall, you see, this Taihu Lake has returned to peace. Do you think it's strange for us to see those gods?”
Duan Yu was a little amused. He finally understood what these so-called gods were. In fact, they were just some people in the martial arts world. As for floating on the surface of the water and not sinking, he could do it. Shaolin had such a lightness skill. It seemed to be called crossing the river with a reed. Even the Yangtze River could be crossed by standing on a reed, so it would be easy for him to gain a foothold in this peaceful Taihu Lake.
At first, Duan Yu was quite interested in flying because it was impossible for martial artists to fly. However, the middle-aged man's words about flying like a bird exposed the truth. Although it was impossible for him to really fly, it was not a problem for him to fly for a while. As far as he knew, there were several Qinggong that could allow him to fly dozens of times in the sky. Shangguan Linger looked at Duan Yu curiously. The meaning behind this was self-evident. She was asking Duan Yu if he could do it.
"I said that I have an idea. Let's take a look at it together.”Shangguan Linger looked at everyone and said mysteriously.
Fu Siya immediately perked up." Lingling, hurry up and tell us what you have in mind. We're bored here."”She looked at Shangguan Linger excitedly.
Shangguan Linger chuckled.""This is actually very simple. I'm going to swim around Taihu Lake again. I didn't see it clearly yesterday, and I want to see those strange fish. There are so many of us, I don't believe we can't even deal with one strange fish.”
"Yes, I also agree to go to Taihu Lake. If we can get photos or samples of those strange fish, those students will be envious.”Li Hongfei immediately agreed.
"Go, all of you. Hehe, I'm the national champion of mixed martial arts. What's there to be afraid of a strange fish?”Jin Chengyu also cried out. After he came out, other than in his own small circle, he had no right to speak at all. He had long been bored to death. Now that he heard such a suggestion, he immediately became motivated. She hurriedly called out.
Duan Yu had already lost interest in going to the lake, but when he saw their expressions, he was helpless. Even the little girl wanted to go, so what could he do if he insisted on not going? He knew that it was impossible to not go. Moreover, after knowing that there might be strange fish in the lake, he was afraid that these little fellows would get into trouble, so he still went with them.
This time, they did not pay attention to the scenery of the lake like yesterday. Instead, they paid more attention to the fish swimming in the lake. In order to see if they could see those strange fish, they even gave up their high-class car and rented a tourist boat by the lake. When they entered the water, the boatman who rocked the boat even prepared two firecrackers.
Shangguan Linger curiously picked it up and looked at it again and again.""Boatman, what is this thing used for? Is it going to be used to fry fish and then lead us to roast shark fins on the lake?”
The boatman laughed." Little girl, you can't use this thing casually. This is a special firecracker made by our government. If we encounter a water monster on the lake, we will light it and throw it on or beside the monster to scare them. Only then will we be able to escape. Without this thing, those monsters are very difficult to deal with. They are very fast and can jump into the boat.
Once bitten by the fish, the person would be paralyzed and become their food. They were not afraid of anything else except the special firecrackers. As long as they lit it and threw it, it would be frightened and some of them would run away directly. However, if there were no monsters running away, they would not dare to catch up with us for a while, so we had a chance to escape. Moreover, the patrol boats on the lake could quickly come to our rescue according to the sound of the firecrackers.”
Shangguan Linger replied with an 'oh' and then ran to the ticket collection area. She took two more tickets and chuckled,"It's safer this way. We'll have time to take photos when the time comes.”Her words made the ticket sellers feel like they had died. Most people would run for their lives when they saw monsters, but she actually wanted to take photos of those strange fish.
Finally, the boat was on the lake again. Duan Yu also released his divine sense. Since these locals were so worried about the lake monster, it was better for him to be careful. As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared. The little girl was even happier because this kind of tourist boat had a low bow. She could directly touch the water from the boat, unlike the car yesterday, where she could only look from the top of the car. In the beginning, the young people were still apprehensive, afraid that they would attract the lake monsters. However, as time went by, they no longer cared about that and began to play with the water happily.
Perhaps it was because there had not been any lake monsters recently, but the boatman did not stop them from playing. Duan Yu just looked at them and did not join them. Because he had consumed too much mental power last night, although he was sitting on the boat now, he still felt very sleepy. He could not help but circulate his internal strength to recover his mental power. Fortunately, his internal strength had already reached a very high level, so he did not care about being disturbed. Moreover, he could stop his internal strength at any time. Therefore, there was no danger.
However, the circulation of internal strength had little to do with the recovery of mental power. It was simply half the effort. No, it was not even half the effort. On the other hand, the recovery of Buddhist meditation was faster. Although he had studied a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the past, he had not learned anything about Buddhist martial arts. Instead, he had learned a lot about Taoism. After all, the Carefree Sect was a Taoist sect. Unfortunately, there was a big difference between the Daoist's longevity and the Buddhist's abandoning of the body. The Buddhist's spiritual cultivation methods were not easily passed down. Therefore, although Duan Yu habitually circulated his internal strength, his mental power still didn't improve.
Just as Duan Yu was resting with his eyes closed, a drop of water fell on his face. Duan Yu had no choice but to open his eyes. This mischievous fellow turned out to be a little girl. Duan Yu was also helpless. He reached out to wipe the water off his face and then gently knocked on the little girl's head. The little girl only giggled. Duan Yu, who realized that circulating his power was useless, stopped and started playing with the little girl.
Just as they were excitedly splashing water at each other, a sound like the cry of bees suddenly came from the lake. Everyone stopped. The boatman quickly threw away the oars and stood at the bow with firecrackers. He stared at the water surface solemnly and watched the movements on the water surface. He even said to the teenagers in the boat,"Everyone, be quiet. Those monsters have appeared. We have to think of a way to leave this ship because they have a special sense of the ship.”
The faces of the teenagers on the ship turned pale. Why didn't the ticket seller tell them to abandon the ship when they encountered these monsters? If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have taken this tourist ship. Duan Yu's divine sense also located a few strange fish that were close to half a meter long underwater. When the fish appeared, the boatman's face turned pale. Even the hand holding the firecracker trembled as he said with a trembling voice,"It's over, it's over. In the past, they would appear one by one, and the biggest one was no more than 20 centimeters. But this time, it's so big. Heavens, are we really going to die here today?”
It would have been fine if he hadn't muttered, but the moment he did, the youths became nervous, especially the youths nearby who had heard his words. Their faces were so pale that there was no trace of blood. Duan Yu looked at the fish, but there was nothing in his heart that was not calm. He stood up unhurriedly and said,"Look at what they've become. Shangguan Linger, weren't you quite brave when you came out just now? Not only were you not afraid of those strange fish, you even took pictures of them.
Jin Chengyu, didn't you say that you didn't have to worry about anything? As long as you did that, all of them would have to escape the invitation. Why are all of you acting like this? In the future, don't say that you're my students. " Alright, boatman, you row the boat to the shore. I'll deal with these fish. After saying that, he threw out a piece of wood from the cabin and left the cabin in a flash. Shangguan Ling 'er and the others saw Duan Yu sway for a moment before standing on the surface of the water like an immortal. Their hearts calmed down, but they were envious of his ethereal and unrestrained temperament. After seeing Duan Yu, the boatman was relieved. They had seen many such experts. They were not afraid of those monsters at all. Moreover, the guts of those monsters were a rare tonic for them.
