Section 149 - The Great Blue Hole

After a few miles of Longjing Mountain, the color of the stream is clear and face-coming, and the north flow of the nine streams is also. The creek originates in Yangmeiwu. The rest of the river traces from Longjing. In the stream channel of ten thousand mountains, the mountains are not steep and cut, the heels are wrong with each other, and the blue is indistinguishable from each other. Take the road along the stream, glance east and west, and turn the way if there is an obstacle. The water has not entered the stream, and the number is called the stream. The stream is eighteen, several times more than nine.

Although the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams are not ranked in the top three among the many scenic spots in Huxi City, they are also famous, and many foreign tourists will regard this place as one of the must-visit attractions.

However, if it is placed in the whole country, it can only be regarded as an ordinary small scenic spot in the middle and lower reaches.

But no one could have imagined that this small attraction would suddenly become one of the headlines in the country.

As soon as he opened his treatment room in the morning, he saw a newspaper on the desk that he didn't know who had thrown here.

The news on the front page was in big bold letters: "Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams Dredging Project Accidentally Excavated Ancient Secret Realm".

Of course, the exaggerated headline is a masterpiece of reporters trying to add chicken legs to themselves, but looking at the content of the report, it should be digging up something unusual.

The front page and the second page successfully attracted the interest of readers, and the situation at that time was roughly restored in the form of pictures and texts, not only the interviews and oral accounts of the workers on the spot, but also the results of the investigation of the technical personnel of the relevant departments of the city government.

The blue groundwater gushing out of the nine streams and eighteen streams turned out to be salty water, containing many ancient bacteria and algae, as well as plankton and a small number of dead fish and shrimp.

The picture taken by the drone is very clear, the blue water, the black round hole, like the Belize Blue Hole, also known as the "Big Blue Hole".

After six hours of stopping the gushing from strong to weak, dead fish continued to float up, and the surface of the "Big Blue Hole" was densely packed with slender and scaleless dead fish, as well as some arthropods, which looked shocking.

After collecting samples for autopsy and testing, they basically died of sudden loss of pressure, just like deep-sea fish suddenly coming to shallow water, the pressure plummeted, and they died of themselves, which was mainly manifested in the separation of gases originally dissolved in body fluids to form bubbles, blocking the blood circulatory system and respiratory system.

Experts deduce that the quartz sandstone layers under the Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams contain ancient seawater layers and have been in a closed state of high water pressure for a long time.

The construction machine dug through the weak point of the aquifer, causing a massive pipe gush, and the pressure release caused the water column to rise more than 100 meters high.

In just two hours, the water output reached millions of cubic meters, causing a small flood within a radius of more than ten miles.

Fortunately, Huxi City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the waterways are dense, so the groundwater was quickly diverted and did not cause more serious natural disasters, but the microorganisms contained in the saline aquifer may cause ecological disasters, and the municipal government has organized manpower to sprinkle lime powder and bleaching powder on a large area to inactivate the small area, although it will affect the local microbial community environment, but it can only take the lesser of two evils, and it will take at least a year or so to restore the ecological balance.

At present, the dredging project of nine streams and eighteen streams has been completely suspended, and the relevant scientific research departments at the provincial level are preparing for the investigation team and professional equipment to prepare for in-depth exploration and investigation of this sudden appearance of the "big blue hole", on the one hand, for scientific research, on the other hand, to avoid the impact of ancient seawater layers on Huxi City.

If there were bacteria or viruses that humans are not immune to, it would be a disaster.

This front page and the entire second page of the report immediately drew the attention of the whole country to Huxi City, and the nineteen streams that were not particularly famous immediately increased their popularity.

It has to be said that the reporters who wrote these news stories succeeded in adding chicken legs to themselves.

Li Bai had already guessed where the newspaper of the day came from.

Zhou Zhenren is giving him eye medicine!

But Li Bai doesn't carry this pot, even if the Jade Emperor is dug out, it has nothing to do with him.

The newspaper was tossed aside, and the reception was officially opened.

I don't know what kind of strange things I will encounter today, there are new things in the psychiatric department every day, and I never get tired of doing it.

Time flies by with a rush.

Carrying a variety of fresh vegetables purchased from the supermarket and a large row of five catties of thick slices, Li Bai pushed open the door of 1901's house.

Unexpectedly, the kitchen room was quiet, and there was no figure of the Qingyao demon girl preparing dinner, only the rice cooker was still on the signal light for heat preservation, and a soup pot on the gas stove was steaming, as if there was something stewed in the pot, but the fire had been turned off for a long time.

Looking into the fish tank again, the two red dragons swam leisurely, still dreaming of watching the fish, and they didn't know whether they would be steamed or braised in a few days.

Qingyao Demon Girl's new habit of liking to eat dragons is really a headache, a dragon in Bird and Flower City is expensive, if anyone knows such a way to eat, they have to come and work hard.

But...... Why are there only two red dragons?

What about red carp?

Li Bai stuffed the vegetables and meat in his hand into the refrigerator, took three steps and made two steps, came to the stove, and took the lid of the soup pot.

The stewed pork feet are stewed with yams, and the salted pork feet and fresh pork feet are stewed together, and the yam and shiitake mushrooms are put in, which is a first-class soup.

Fortunately, the red carp was not stewed, and Li Da Devil breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Hong Li's cultivation is lower than Qing Yao's, and he has also used the secret method of dragon transformation to forcibly retreat from the dragon body back to the carp body, he still retains the dragon qi and dragon blood, compared with Qing Yao, who returned to the Jiao body and only retained a piece of dragon scales, Hong Li's dragon bloodline is more intact.

In the future, if there is an opportunity to re-transform into a dragon, I am afraid that the achievements of the little red carp will surpass that of Qing Yao, who is already the Demon King of the Broken Tribulation Realm.

There is no trace of the big and small demon girls at home, and I don't know where Qing Yao abducted the little red carp.

Li Bai could guess with his toes that it must be Qingyao's idea, with Hong Li's well-behaved, he would only stay at home honestly and would not run away from home without permission.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Qingyao directly, but no one answered for half a day.

Just as I was about to redial it for the second time, a WeChat message was sent, but it was the electronic map positioning of the Qingyao demon girl.

Li Bai nodded suspiciously, but found that the positioning coordinates were actually nine streams and eighteen streams.

If it weren't for the newspaper that Dean Zhou put on his desk in the morning, he wouldn't have reacted so quickly, what did the Qingyao demon girl do when she ran to the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams.

It's not going to go online to read gossip, play games, or fight with others on the forum, on the local forum "17th floor" in Huxi City, the ID of "Li Bai's Demon Girl" is about to become a celebrity, and she has even been banned by the moderator several times, and she has not changed her teachings.

Obviously, the big demon girl who was so idle that she kidnapped the little demon girl and went to join in the fun.

The red jade carp that Hong Li turned into was found there, and most of the Qingyao demon girls were the same as everyone else, thinking that there was something strange there, and after seeing the news of the abnormal changes in the nine streams and eighteen streams, they immediately became greedy and wanted to pick up the bargain to see if there were any treasures.

Is there a baby in the special, don't you have a little bit of a count in your heart?

Li Baicai would not believe those unfounded rumors that were false, but Qing Yao didn't care, what if the bet was made? I'm afraid there are many people who have such thoughts.

The big and small demon girls thought that they would be able to rush back before dinner, but now it seems that most of them are still there looking for an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, Li Bai can imagine that there must be many people staring at the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams at this moment, and it may not be easy for the two demon girls to blend in.

He had no choice but to close the door, go downstairs, and drive Santana straight to the coordinates sent by the Qingyao Demon Maiden.

With 5 kilometers to go, Santana 2000 was stopped by traffic police and the road was blocked, prohibiting non-related vehicles from entering.

Li Bai was still a step too late, and the city government had already launched a blockade of the area around Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams.

He had to find a parking lot and walk on foot.

The road blockade only blocks the entry of vehicles, but does not block pedestrians and bicycles, after all, there are many residents in the vicinity of Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams, and no matter how much they are blocked, it is impossible to prohibit these residents from entering and leaving.

If there is a major discovery in the "Big Blue Hole", perhaps even pedestrians have to check their ID cards, but at this time Li Bai can still walk close to the Jiuxi Eighteen Streams Scenic Area, and the white muddy water can be seen in the ditch on the side of the road from time to time, and the blue salty water gushing out has flowed here, and the white muddy water is because of the sprinkling of lime and bleaching powder.

On the WeChat of the mobile phone, the coordinates of the Qingyao Demon Girl have not moved, perhaps waiting for an opportunity, or maybe there are many eyeliners around, and they can't move easily.

After walking for more than half an hour, there was a separation zone of more than 200 meters from the gate of Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams, which stopped everyone.

This barrier is a half-human-high wall made of nylon bags filled with sand, leaving only a gap for two cars to merge in, and it is clear that the construction unit has also spent a lot of effort to prevent idlers and others from approaching.

In addition to many people who came to see the excitement stretched their necks and looked for an opportunity to sneak in, Li Bai even saw many reporters and online anchors holding selfie sticks.
