The next day, Xu Guangling did not continue going up the mountain, but went to the provincial library.
There is actually a library in the county, but the collection of books is extremely limited. Xu Guangling even doubted whether there were books on the "Aquatic Biology" project.
That's right, what he wanted to check this time was aquatic life.
The purpose is to make some preparations for going to Tianchi.
Reading is really not a big deal for Xu Guangling now.
One day, just one day! Xu Guangling went from knowing nothing about aquatic life to a person who was at least proficient in it. Of course, it was only on paper for the time being. But even so, it was enough to "shock the world."
But then again, from the first dream a few months ago, Xu Guangling was destined to go further and further away from the so-called world.
The inconceivability of ordinary people, for him, and for two old people like Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen, many of them are just casual.
After staying in a hotel for one night, Xu Guangling found an outdoor store and bought a knife the next day.
The off-brand knife, well, it’s a brand that Xu Guangling doesn’t recognize anyway, but the quality is quite good. In fact, the slightly better knives nowadays, not just for military use, but for civilian use, in ancient times, they were all made of steel.
Not even the hard work can compare to it.
This is the difference in time.
After returning to the research institute, he rested for most of the day. The next day, Xu Guangling went up the mountain again.
This time, he didn't know how many days he would stay in the "mountain", so he didn't go to Lao Tan's place. Instead, he changed his route and went up the mountain from another angle. Of course, this was also necessary for inspection.
During the climb, Xu Guangling still kept his eyes open, searching and locating all the medicinal plants.
When he reached the top of the mountain and saw Tianchi, Xu Guangling looked around.
The snow has stopped, but the wind has not stopped, and it is especially biting.
It's cold before frost and cold after snow.
The cold wind carrying the evil spirit hits the head and face like an ice knife, which can really make a weak-tempered person cry. Therefore, at this moment, the top of the mountain is still quiet. Looking around, it is still
Not a single tourist.
Xu Guangling was not afraid of the cold, but he was equally uncomfortable being blown by the wind.
I really don’t have the feeling of “flying like a fairy”. I just hope that the wind can be a little softer and not blow so hard that it makes people’s eyes hard to open.
But of course the wind would not listen to him.
Therefore, Xu Guangling had no interest in sightseeing and went straight to his goal.
After searching with his Sky Eye, Xu Guangling found a place on the Tianchi ice surface against the mountain wall where the ice was relatively weak. There was probably a hot spring nearby. Then, he waved the knife, and in just a few dozen seconds, one for him
The entrance to the cave appears.
This time when he went up the mountain, Xu Guangling also brought a large package, which contained the clothes he had changed and dry food, etc., but he left the package in a dense forest halfway up the mountain.
So at this time, Xu Guangling entered the Tianchi with thick ice in a single suit.
The knife was the only thing he carried with him.
Before he got into the water, Xu Guangling shuddered slightly.
This is really not a physical cold, but a psychological feedback. Break through the thick ice and jump into the water?
Xu Guangling had never done anything so challenging before.
The changes in his body and mind may seem huge, but in terms of time, they are really short-lived. Therefore, the fear that belongs to ordinary people is still unavoidable.
However, after actually entering the water, he did not feel the cold at first. Xu Guangling's tense mood suddenly relaxed. After his whole body entered the water and his limbs stretched freely, Xu Guangling completely relaxed.
But it’s actually not right to say it’s complete right now.
Besides the cold, there is another thing Xu Guangling needs to consider.
That's a matter of breathing.
"If you have one mind, you can stay underwater for about half an hour; if you have three minds, you can stay underwater for two to three to seven or eight hours."
These are the words of Mr. Zhang.
Xu Guangling believed it, and he firmly believed it, but he had not personally verified it, so it was still a bit false.
At this time, Xu Guangling did not go into the water for the first time, but stayed under the entrance of the cave, waiting for his body's reaction.
The response came quickly.
It's impossible to breathe underwater. After his whole body went underwater, Xu Guangling's breathing was cut off from his mouth and nose.
There was no feeling of suffocation at all, because almost at the same time, Xu Guangling felt the palms of his hands and feet move slightly, and then a chilly breath entered his body from his hands and feet.
After about a few dozen seconds, Xu Guangling got used to the chill.
Until this moment, Xu Guangling finally felt truly and completely relieved.
In fact, the current experience did not bring much novelty to Xu Guangling. After coming to the conclusion that "you can really breathe underwater," Xu Guangling soon discovered that the current state of his body was something he had experienced a long time ago.
Already experienced it.
Many times when he was lying in bed at night, he felt like this! During those times, he would breathe through his hands, feet, and heart orifices.
It's just that at that time, the experience was not as obvious as it was underwater.
Without any worries in his mind, Xu Guangling looked around.
Although there is white ice and snow reflecting on it, the underwater vision is not good. You can see four to five meters away when you look at it from the top. When you look down, you can only see two or three meters away. But two or three meters away, everything is dim.
Already.
Beyond darkness, it must be darkness.
People have a fear of darkness, and this fear comes from the unknown. If it is dark underwater, this fear will be doubled, doubled to the point of hell.
After having a relatively comprehensive understanding of aquatic life, Xu Guangling almost eliminated most of the "unknowns", but he also didn't like darkness. In addition, caution is the best, so he immediately activated his celestial eye.
What does it feel like to activate your celestial eye here?
It's like walking in a corridor in the dark night, and the lights gradually turn on.
The Heavenly Eye does not rely on light or vision. This is something that Xu Guangling could not completely determine until this moment.
Under the water, at this moment, Xu Guangling's "vision" was filled with a glimmer of light. Just like when the dawn comes, the darkness has receded and the light has just begun. Between heaven and earth, although it is not dark, it is not very bright.
The leather-covered knife was fixed on his belt. Xu Guangling stretched his arms and legs and slowly swam forward and downward toward the front of the back wall.
There was nothing in sight except water.
Gradually, the mountain wall became invisible, and Xu Guangling estimated that he had descended dozens of meters.
For ordinary people, without any tools, this is already the limit or close to the limit of diving.
While holding your breath, the pressure underwater, which was not originally very great, will become more and more terrifying.
Just like water, water that can linger gently between your fingers will gradually become cold and hard as the temperature drops, and then freeze, and then the ice edge will be sharper than the edge of a knife.
But this problem does not exist for Xu Guangling.
At the beginning, he was a little restrained and could not let go. However, after swimming along the way and diving for dozens of meters, he became more and more comfortable and his swimming became more and more "natural".
Just like.
He was originally a fish.
A fish lives here.
