Ma Chengfeng gave a thumbs up to Pu Lao Fu and said, "Senior, with you, this action is too sharp." How did you find them? ”

"What's so hard about that? They are always mortals, and the smell of mortals who go into the water will remain underwater, and their smell is different from that of fish in the water, and I followed their scent all the way. Just a few garlic heads, do they dare to call themselves water ghosts? Park Lao Fu said confidently.

"Wow, you old man! Even if you are good at water, there are so many of them! How did you do that? Xiao Man asked him.

"Yes, there are so many of them, why should I fight them in the water? Ouch, this group of young men is not small, they chased me underwater for five or six minutes, and they all chased me to the other side, but their ability to hold their breath still has to be practiced again, and they chase half of the way and want to go up for ventilation, then I naturally won't allow it, so I ...... They were all suffocated to death, and they had nothing to do with me. ”

"Hey, you're old! What an old rascal!! Haha......" Ma Chengfeng used a very meaningful adjective.

Xiao Man said that there are pros and cons for the seniors to do this, on the one hand, Tong Sixi's hands and feet were cut off, at least we can no longer stop us from going to the Hanshui River. But on the other hand, even if we have declared war with the two of them, we need to be cautious in the future!

Park Laofu looked at the sky and said that the time was almost up. Now that there are no these Dongting water ghosts, we can go to Xuanwu Island in a down-to-earth manner.

On the dock, his men had already driven the motorboat over. The ship had already prepared offerings to worship the Xuanwu Water God in accordance with Park Laofu's instructions.

Park Lao Fu didn't pay attention to any craftsmanship when he drove the boat, it really followed the feeling, he lazily fiddled with the rudder, and the small bucket still hung on the bow, and the bucket was still filled with the small fish. The trip went much smoother, and there was no more harassment from the dirty stuff underwater. More than two hours later, the motorboat sailed back to the mysterious waters. In the distance, I saw a black outline on the water, which looked like a small island, the island was not big, and there seemed to be an ancient temple on it.

Ma Chengfeng stood on the deck and watched by himself, and saw that there was a faint light in this ancient temple that was slowly fluttering, like a ghost fire.

"Senior, how could this Xuanwu Island only come out at this hour?"

"It's about the tides." He replied.

"Do rivers have tides?"

"There are definitely no ordinary small rivers, but the Hanshui River leads to the Yangtze River, and the outlet of the Yangtze River is the East China Sea, which naturally has tidal phenomena."

The area of Xuanwu Island is not large, and there is basically no other place to build a river temple dedicated to Xuanwu statues on it. This is by no means artificial, nor does it mean that there was such a surplus of land under the water before. Its formation is very interesting, and it is only after the small motorboat docks and they step on Xuanwu Island that they really appreciate its mystery.

It looks like black sand under your feet, but when you step on it, it makes a crisp sound, as if you are stepping on a raised tile. Xiao Man picked up the small grains of sand under his feet and said that this was not ordinary river sand or underwater rocks, but shellfish.

Since Xuanwu Island is located at the most central feng shui level in the Hanshui River Basin, it has become the area with the highest concentration of shellfish. He told Ma Chengfeng that in the middle of the river, as long as the adult old clam can produce Dongzhu in the body, it will choose the underwater feng shui treasure land to live, such a place, the output of Dongzhu is not only big, but also the color will be good.

"It's a pity, the natural conditions of the Hanshui River are not suitable for the growth of giant mussels, otherwise, we will have to go tonight."

Although the Hanshui River does not produce "pearl eggs", the shellfish that live in this water area also seek their unique biological habits. For thousands of years, almost all the shellfish under the water have survived, the sun and the moon have changed, time flies, so many years, the shellfish that died underwater are more and more, and the new ones will continue to lie on the shells left by the same kind to multiply, and over time it has formed this small island that can only surface on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

The main component of shells is calcium, and over time, the calcium becomes less and less, and most of them become silt-like.

I don't know what age this ancient river temple was built, the walls are covered with green aquatic plants, and there are even small fish and shrimp churning on the stone road in front of the temple. It is estimated that it has just emerged from the water.

Let's digress from the topic, our country has a vast land, many rivers and rivers, large and small, and different beliefs and customs in different places. Some people say that the main god in the water should be the dragon king, and the southeast coastal area is dedicated to Mazu, and in the southwest of our country, people will worship Li Bing as the god of water. Of course, this has something to do with the local culture and history of various places, but it can't be said that it is wrong, there is nothing wrong with providing Mazu in coastal areas, but it is a bit far-fetched for the rivers in the mainland to say that the dragon prince or Li Bing. The one who can really manage a river is the first Xuanwu, and Xuanwu is a water beast. In many legends and stories in ancient China, the four sacred beasts are mentioned, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu Vermilion Bird, and the White Tiger.

In addition, ordinary people understand that Xuanwu is nothing more than a big king, and some craftsmen are also scared of carving, carving is godlike, I have seen a Xuanwu statue with my own eyes, the craftsman in order to highlight the majesty of Xuanwu, actually put the back on the sword for others. I really want to say, are you sure you don't carve a stegosaurus?

Xuanwu is a combination of a turtle and a snake, with a snake coiled on the turtle shell, and the old turtle looks back at the snake. If you come across a different version, remember, the warranty is fake.

Getting back to the point, Ma Chengfeng and the three of them landed on the shore, and walked towards the ancient temple with a flashlight and a slippery bluestone slab under their feet.

The island resembles an irregular oval lid, with a bulge in the middle, slightly higher and almost level with the water on all sides. Everyone raised their heads, and they could clearly see that the fire in the Xuanwu Temple was shaking slightly.

"Strange, what's that? Cheng Feng, have you seen it? Xiao Man asked.

"I saw it when I was on the boat just now, could it be the Xuanwu Great Immortal Spirit? Is it a relationship between the seniors and the arrival? It's like a cat smelling a mouse? ”

"Hey, isn't that the right description for you, kid? Co-author: Is I a mouse? What a basalt water god, it's a man! Let's go, she's coming! "Park Laofu seems to have made an appointment with someone tonight.

There is a large plaque with golden characters hanging on the top of the ancient temple, although the gilded characters on the plaque have long been washed away by the river, but the handwriting on the top is still clear and legible. Looking at the handwriting, it really looks like it was left by the Great Song Dynasty. There was a strong fishy smell everywhere on the island, especially at the entrance of the Xuanwu Temple, and the smell was even stronger.
