Chapter 6: Falling

The Taoist Tai Chi fish originally had lost an eye and had a bean-sized hole.

However, when Li Weiyi took it out of his collar again, the hole disappeared and both fish eyes were still there.

One fish eye emits a green glow, and the other emits a red glow, both are brilliant and bright, as if the stars in the sky are condensed.

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

The green rays and red clouds interweave like a veil of light.

If you stand far away and look into the distance.

You will find that the two colors of light condense into a Tai Chi millstone with a diameter of tens of kilometers, slowly rotating on the endless ice field.

"It is indeed the fish eye that the Taoist Taiji fish lost. It is indeed so, it is indeed so..."

Zhao Meng had guessed this long ago, but when the miracle happened before his eyes, he was still shocked and knelt down in awe and reverence.

Li Weiyi looked up and observed the green light and red clouds. His pupils were reflected in colors. He said incredulously, "It seems that profound Taoist texts and Buddhist scriptures are flying in these two kinds of light. Brother, did you see it?"

Zhao Meng did not see any Taoist texts or Buddhist scriptures, but was horrified to discover that the ice around him and Li Weiyi was breaking and sinking, and the two were rapidly falling into the Arctic Ocean thousands of meters deep.

It was before that Jiuying shattered the ice cap here.

As it escaped, the ice cap collapsed.

The sea water instantly covered Li Weiyi and Zhao Meng's heads, pulling them into the cold and suffocating abyss of the sea.

In the distance, the deformed and broken research vessel was also slowly sinking into the water after capsizing.

“Crash!”

Although he had sunk into the sea, Li Weiyi was surprised to find that the surrounding waters were all green and red, as bright as a magic lamp. Even more strange was the sound of the canvas fluttering in the wind and the low wooden sound of the mast shaking.

Suddenly.

A surging invisible field force acted on Li Weiyi.

Moreover, everything around it was pulled madly. Zhao Meng, the bear-like creature, the sea water, the ice sheet, and the sinking research vessel in the distance were all swept up by the force of the field.

“Wow——”

Li Weiyi's entire body, from his arms to his torso, was shrinking rapidly in circles...

That feeling is like falling from a high altitude, like being weightless.

But it is a hundred times more uncomfortable than weightlessness.

The Taoist Tai Chi fish worn around his neck slowly floated to the level of his eyes, mysterious and full of unpredictability.

Immersed in the cold sea water, Li Weiyi entered a tranquil and mysterious state, and his vision was much better than usual.

He could clearly see that on the light red fish eye of the newly acquired Daozu Taiji fish, there were actually lines like mountains and rivers, like a planet appearing before his eyes. He had only seen such a scene when he was in high school, when he used an astronomical telescope to observe the moon.

What is even more shocking is...

A bronze ship the size of a grain of rice flew out from the light red planet and set sail under the cover of fairy light and dark mist.

“Wow!”

Li Weiyi's body suddenly shrank again, and he felt weightless and dizzy.

Restore vision again.

The bronze ship, which was originally the size of a grain of rice, became the size of a palm and was right in front of us.

“Wow!”

Weightlessness and dizziness came again.

The bronze ship turned into the size of a fishing boat. Some strange scenes on the ship, such as the mast and canvas, the corpses of phoenixes and pythons, and the tomb and sea of ​​steles, were like works of art carefully carved by skilled craftsmen and captured Li Weiyi's eyes and were imprinted in his mind.

Where did the bronze ships come from?

Why is it getting bigger? No...

It's not that the bronze ship is getting bigger, but that it is getting smaller in circles.

Li Weiyi no longer knew how to describe his feelings at the moment. He couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, science and myth. Could it be... this was an illusion caused by falling into the sea and being on the verge of death?

Satellites over the Arctic Ocean are recording an unusual scene that is enough to shock the world.

With the Longji research vessel as the center, the sea water and ice cap within a radius of dozens of kilometers were pulled and swallowed by a strange force and quickly disappeared into thin air.

Including the broken research vessel and the giant beast Jiuying that escaped to dozens of kilometers away, all were pulled in.

They don't really disappear into thin air.

Instead, it was affected by the field force of the bronze ship and fell into the microscopic world.

…

…………

The numbness, coldness and suffocation feeling of being immersed in the sea water seemed to last for several days, yet it also seemed to have passed in just a moment. With a "bang", Li Weiyi fell heavily to the unknown ground.

The continuous weightlessness and dizziness, coupled with excessive bleeding and the heavy fall, made Li Weiyi feel dizzy and dizzy, even though his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people.

Fortunately, the air provided a noticeable cushioning effect as I fell.

And the ground is not hard.

"What soft soil! What kind of place is this?"

Li Weiyi fell face up, leaving a human-shaped dent nearly a foot deep. He was in so much pain that he couldn't move. Naturally, he didn't realize that he had fallen on a gray-white grave mound seven or eight meters high.

The bronze ship was ancient and majestic, not something from this world, but more like an inverted sacred mountain.

The masts rise from the ground like sacred trees and pillars of heaven.

The dark cloud-like canvas is hidden in the dark clouds and mist, fully expanded in the wind, looking very majestic.

The deck was vast and strange, with stone tablets weighing tens of thousands of pounds and countless towering graves, creating a desolate and lonely feeling.

Li Weiyi fell on one of the graves.

The pile of soil is grayish white, like ashes and lime, but it is very sticky, which is the characteristic of soil.

His back, the back of his head, and the left arm that had been torn by the bear-like creature were all in excruciating pain. His entire body felt sore and weak that he didn't even want to move his eyelids.

"No... I'm still alive."

When Li Weiyi had this thought, his eyes suddenly opened. He saw that the sky was low and full of thick clouds, and he felt incredible.

How did he survive after falling into the Arctic Ocean?

He remembered that he had many hallucinations when he was dying. He saw green light and red clouds, saw the eyes of the Taoist Taiji fish turn into planets, and saw a bronze ship setting sail...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Weiyi saw the Longji research vessel falling from the dark clouds above. The huge hull rolled over, and pieces of debris and human figures kept falling off, accompanied by screams and howls.

The speed of falling was getting slower and slower. It was the fairy light and dark mist that enveloped the bronze ship that dissipated the gravity of the research vessel.

“Boom!”

The research vessel crashed not far away, and the sound of metal deforming and breaking was heard.

The entire bronze ship trembled, and Li Weiyi's heart was also shaken.

Li Weiyi's scalp tingled, and his heart was filled with a sense of absurdity and tension. He tried hard to support his body, but failed.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The high-pitched cry of the baby resounded through heaven and earth, sonorous and piercing.

In the thick clouds above, Jiuying's body, which was more than 200 meters long, fell down. Its body was covered with scales and its trunk was like a giant bull. Its nine heads were all crying and screaming.

What made Li Weiyi feel cold all over was that he was right below the falling trajectory of Jiuying.

If this were to fall down, he would definitely be smashed to pieces even if there was an unknown mysterious force to cushion it.

When the falling Jiuying saw the bronze ship below, his eyes changed from fear to joy, and his cries changed from crying to laughter, as if he had been waiting for this day for countless years.

“Wow!”

A giant golden claw, larger than Jiuying's body, suddenly broke through the thick clouds and captured it.

The claws seemed to be made of gold, with a metallic and powerful feel, and were extremely sharp, easily piercing Jiuying's body.

Behind the dark clouds, a terrifying and huge shadow appeared, releasing a vast aura that could swallow the sky and the earth, like a giant beast that could travel the universe. But when it saw the bronze ship below, it flapped its wings in fear and disappeared into the endless dark chaos.

"This...what on earth is this place? Am I really still alive?"

Li Weiyi was in shock and confusion, and gradually lost consciousness.

Blood continued to seep out of the wound on his arm, mixing with the grayish-white grave soil.

What was extremely unreasonable was that the blood actually flowed along the soil into the grave at an accelerated speed.

"The only one! The only one..."

Zhao Meng shouted anxiously in the thick foggy tomb forest, running and searching. Soon he finally found Li Weiyi on top of the tomb and carried him out of the human-shaped pit.

There was not a trace of blood on the grave soil in the pit, only Li Weiyi's face was as pale as paper.

After Zhao Meng carried Li Weiyi away.

On the tombstone in front of the grave, a string of wind chimes made of bones swayed in the wind, making clear and pleasant sounds, adding infinite interest to the eerie and silent night.

…

Li Weiyi seemed to have been in a deep dream for several years, and his exhausted consciousness gradually returned like a few wisps of gossamer.

There was the sound of waves in my ears and a breeze on my face.

Slowly open your eyes.

The vision went from blurry to clear.

"Finally you woke up. The physical fitness of athletes is different. I thought you couldn't make it!"

Qi Shanshan smiled slightly, with a hint of surprise in her voice, and then walked out the door.

Although Li Weiyi only saw a graceful white silhouette, he knew that it was Dr. Qi who was traveling with the team.

"He's awake, but still very weak..."

Doctor Qi's voice came from outside the door. I couldn't hear clearly what he was talking to someone.

Li Weiyi observed the surroundings. The bed under him should have been dismantled from a research vessel. The room he was in was built with debris from the research vessel, like a spacious iron shed, with many discarded scraps on the ground that had not been cleaned up in time.

The blood bag was hung on a wooden pole.

The needle was in his right arm and he was receiving a blood transfusion.

There were six other people lying in the tin shed, some with broken legs, some with half-paralyzed bodies, and some unconscious.

Through the simple shed door, you can see the sidewalls of the bronze ship a few meters away. The sidewalls are covered with thick copper rust, which has both ancient charm and a sense of desolation that has been abandoned for thousands of years.

You can hear the regular sound of waves and feel the slight vibrations of the waves hitting the hull.

The wind jumped over the bronze bulwark and blew in from outside the door.

"What we experienced before was not an illusion, it was all real?" Li Weiyi whispered.

"Of course it's true. We should have fallen into a completely unknown sea world. Hmm...it is very likely in the microscopic world." Cai Yutong's cold voice came before she arrived.

She walked in with Qi Shanshan, who was wearing a white doctor's uniform. Both women were tall and outstanding.

Li Weiyi was startled: "The microscopic view? What does that mean?"

"I don't really understand it either. It's all what the leaders said. Buddha's relics, microscopes, bronze ships, they seem to have known some of the inside information for a long time."

Cai Yutong still had that cold look on her face. She placed her finger on Li Weiyi's forehead and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that the fever has gone down. It's worth the three days of blood I drew to give to you."

Qi Shanshan directly broke the news and said with a smile: "Oh, are you showing off now? When I was giving you a blood transfusion, I knew you had bad intentions."

Qi Shanshan and Cai Yutong were from the same dormitory in college, both were outstanding students in the Department of Chemistry. They had a good relationship, as close as best friends.

It's hard to say whether their relationship is good or not, but they have been competing against each other secretly.

Later, one of them was admitted to a medical graduate school, and the other continued to study chemistry. There was no longer any competition between them, and their relationship became even closer.

Qi Shanshan learned about this Arctic scientific expedition from Cai Yutong, and she "ordered" her as her best friend to recommend herself to the leader.

She is very pragmatic and good at seizing opportunities and taking the initiative to seek advancement opportunities.
