Across the dark seabed, as far as Zhang Xiao could see, jagged fragments of stone lay scattered everywhere, resting in the silt where they had spent a thousand years.
Ocean currents and plants had left mottled marks on them. Even so, the lines occasionally exposed still revealed the craftsmen's superb skill.
One among the stones of varying sizes caught Zhang Xiao's eye. Most of the stones on the seabed had broken off statues, but this one had not.
It was rectangular, and the parts not covered by seaweed bore patterns and strange writing.
Most importantly, its broken edge was clearly more recent, with signs of abrasion.
Zhang Xiao slipped off the Dragon Carp. With just a gentle twist of his body, he glided like a fish over to the stone tablet.
He carefully examined the fracture. Observe the Emerald Waves, one of the Six Water Wight Methods, was a method for identifying all sorts of underwater conditions.
Although he had thought it rather useless, he had skimmed through it anyway, figuring that since he had already turned to those pages, he might as well take a look.
He compared the marks on the fracture before him with what he remembered.
Zhang Xiao's eyes immediately lit up. There really was something wrong with the fracture: the growth on it did not match the surface and was much younger!
