From seeing it

Yu Tingting rolled her eyes, then shook her head with a wry smile. Since ancient times, fairy tales have always been illusory, so who really has to meet gods?

Although Yu Tingting is a researcher of mysterious phenomena, she still maintains a skeptical attitude towards the legendary gods and the like. She only believes that some supernatural phenomena that are currently difficult to explain have been exaggerated and passed on to myths by the incomprehensible ancients.

For example, the giant tortoise I encountered before is just some kind of giant beast that has not been officially recorded. Its essence is not much different from marine creatures such as blue whales, but in the exaggeration and legend of the ancients, it has become a monster that can carry mountains. Shenao.

After watching for a while, everyone continued to go up, and found that there were blocks of black rocks piled up in front of them, forming a natural step.

Everyone carefully went up the steps, and soon a wide platform appeared in front of them. There were some dilapidated buildings standing on the platform, and there was almost no end in sight. These buildings collapsed so badly that it was almost impossible to recognize what they used to be.

Buildings appeared on the black mountain in the depths of the ocean, and everyone instinctively took a deep breath. It seems that people really lived here. Looking at the scale of these collapsed buildings, they once lived here There are many people.

Sun Tao waved his hand and led a dozen team members to lead the way. They dispersed carefully and retreated after making sure that there was no danger.

Members of the scientific expedition team, such as Li Zhibao and Zhou Kesheng, only now began to search for the ruins of these buildings.

It's a pity that these buildings were too badly damaged, and there were almost only piles of earth and rocks of no archaeological value left, many of which were rotten wood. It can be imagined that these buildings were very crudely built back then, like a temporary resting place Place.

Everyone searched all the way, hoping to find something, and soon they found some stone flakes buried by rotten wood in the ruins.

These flakes vary in size and have text engraved on them.

"Professor Li, there are also here." Xiao Ling also found a piece of stone with words engraved on it, and handed it to Li Zhibao.

Everyone handed over the stone flakes they found to Li Zhibao.

Li Zhibao squatted down and placed the stones on the ground, while Sun Tao held a lamp to illuminate the stones.

Li Zhibao was a little surprised and said: "These are carved stones from the Qin Dynasty. They are formed by combining the inscriptions on the utensils of the Qin Dynasty from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty with the carved stone characters from various places. It can be said that it is the first unified font in our country. It is called Xiaozhuan. , also known as Qin Wen or Qin Zhuan."

Xiao Ling squatted down on one side, and said: "So, these stone fragments were left by the Qin people? Someone came to this Black Mountain during the Qin Dynasty, Mr. Li, what is written on it..."

Before Li Zhibao could speak, Yu Tingting said suddenly: "Speaking of the Qin Dynasty, there is only one person who can be connected with the three fairy mountains in the East China Sea. These stone tablets will not record the deeds of this person, right?"

Li Zhibao raised his head, with a look of approval on his face, and said, "Young Yu is right, what is recorded on this stone tablet is indeed about this person."

Xiao Ling was reminded by Yu Tingting, and suddenly thought of someone, and asked softly, "Is it Xu Fu?"

Li Zhibao hummed, and said, "Yes, it is Xu Fu, a famous alchemist from the Qin Dynasty."

Li Zhibao's words attracted everyone's attention, and both Hu Shengzhe and Wang Lei came over.

Everyone has more or less heard of the name of the alchemist Xu Fu.

Hu Shengzhe was surprised and said: "It is said that Qin Shihuang, in order to seek longevity, sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls, as well as the three-year-prepared food, clothing, medicine and farm tools, to ride a mirage into the sea to seek immortality. The gods on the three fairy mountains in Yingzhou, there are really relics of the activities of the Qin people in this mountain now, did Xu Fu really lead people to climb this mountain? These things are left by Xu Fu and the others?"

Li Zhibao said: "It's hard to say now, the above record is exactly the process of Xu Fu's quest for immortality this time, if it is said that these were really left by Xu Fu back then, then this discovery is too amazing."

Wang Lei lit the shredded tobacco in his pipe and was smoking. After hearing what Li Zhibao said, he let out a puff of smoke, and said: "If Xu Fu really led people into this sea area, it would not be surprising to enter this mountain. The scale of these architectural ruins, I am afraid that these thousands of people lived here for a while, but where did these people go? At least we did not find a single skeleton here, which shows that these people should have lived here for a while. left."

Li Zhibao stood up and said, "Yes, so we have to search again, hoping to find something else."

Hu Shengzhe said: "This Xu Fu is also a strange man. When Qin Shihuang ruled the world and wanted to live forever, this alchemist Xu Fu wrote a letter saying that there are three fairy mountains in the sea: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. Now it seems that he is not completely nonsense, at least there are really three black mountains here, and now this one is exactly the same as the legendary Penglai Mountain, and he really found it, and even climbed the mountain, but I don’t know Where did they go after that, did they really find the gods and obtain the law of longevity."

Yu Tingting glanced at him and said: "If Xu Fu really met a god and obtained the law of longevity, then our first emperor would not have died during his east tour."

Hu Shengzhe shook his head with a smile and said: "That's hard to say. For example, Xu Fu really obtained the law of longevity, but he didn't want to share it with others. He hid it quietly. It's unknown if he swallowed it himself."

Wang Lei laughed and said, "Okay, Hu, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are."

Everyone continued to dig while chatting. Although they found some utensils and objects that could prove that they belonged to the era of the Qin Dynasty, they could only prove that a group of people from the Qin Dynasty lived here. important discovery.

Everyone stayed here for nearly two hours, and searched almost all the ruins of the building. After confirming that there were no important discoveries, they finally decided to leave and continue to go up.

After leaving the building ruins and going up, they turned over a black hill, and everyone stopped.

Under the black hill, there is a stream meandering from afar, blocking the crowd across the way. When they get closer, they can vaguely hear the clear and crisp sound of water flowing.

Everyone stopped.

This mountain stream crossing the Black Mountain is about a few meters wide and the water flow is slow. Sun Tao took a searchlight and pointed it towards the water. It was crystal clear and some very small fish could be seen moving in it.

Guo Zhenwei squatted down and took a flashlight to shine on the fish swimming in the stream. These small fish were faintly purple, the front half of the body was cylindrical, and the second half gradually became flat, without pectoral or pelvic fins.
