083 Singing in the Storm

"On the vast sea, the wind gathers dark clouds. Between the clouds and the sea, the petrel flies proudly like black lightning...... Suddenly, I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain was in the void. The pavilion is exquisite, and there are many fairies among them......"

"Let the storm come harder...... You thief, if you want to stop my Xiao Letian's pace, that's a dream...... It's fun to fight with the sky, it's fun to fight with people, Lao Tzu is going to fight this storm today......"

"There has never been a savior, and it doesn't depend on the Immortal Emperor...... Ready to sing...... There has never been a savior......"

The pale blue water rolled up huge waves more than ten meters high and rolled and slapped on the sea, and the white foam was pressed into the deep seabed with a roar of thunder. The black clouds in the sky like mountains pressed against the sea and turned day into night, and the storm in the sky could no longer be called falling, but poured.

A waterspout was raging in the distance, lightning was releasing light behind the tornado, and the rolling thunder was actually no match for the sound of the roaring waves, and at that moment the power of the storm dominated the entire space.

In the overwhelming waves, a large wooden sailing ship is tossing between the undulations of the waves, one will be carried by the huge waves more than ten meters high in the air, and then smash back to the sea, and even sometimes the whole ship is drilled into the huge waves, and the sea water sweeps a qiē on the deck.

This is a common storm in the Pacific Ocean, and this ocean named Taiping is actually not peaceful, and the annual tornadoes swallow up countless merchant ships on the sea, and destroy the lives and property of countless coastal people. This is the most feared moment for all navigators, no matter how advanced the navigation technology is, in the face of such a hurricane, they have no choice but to resist it.

But today, on the pitch-black sea, on this wooden sail merchant ship in danger, a burst of roars pierced the sound of the storm, arrogantly expressing their disdain to heaven and earth.

It was Xiao Letian, this arrogant traverser, who actually tied himself to the main mast and shouted hysterically in the face of the monstrous white waves. Gorky's Haiyan, Li Bai's long-hated song, and even the unpublished international anthem he took out and sang, mixed with Xiao Letian's disrespect for the gods in the sky.

"Dragon King, Dragon King, you have the ability to show up and eat me...... Poseidon, where is your trident, let me see the electric light on it......"

Xiao Lotian was going crazy, and the rest of the people on the deck were desperately trying to save the ship, and the captain Corsica nailed his feet to the deck like nails, holding on to the cable with one hand, and directing the sailors to dismount with the other.

"Cut the rope and abandon this sail at once...... It will drag us to hell, brave children, rush forward, whoever completes this task, I will reward him with a thousand gold coins......" Before he finished speaking, a white wave slammed into his head and face, blocking the second half of his sentence.

Corsica is right, if you don't get the sails off in time during a storm at sea, the wind will easily carry the sailboat around the ocean or even capsize. Now on the Lucky, all the mainsails and sails have been rolled up, except for one sail on the tallest mainmast, which flutters in the wind.

The swinging canvas flew in the air like a flag, and the long cable whipped like a whip in the air, making a crackling sound, and two sailors had already been pulled alive by the rope into the sea.

"No, Captain, it's too windy, we can't get close to ......"

"The power of the cable is too strong for us to dodge ......"

More than a dozen sailors clung to the mast, they were only one step away from the canvas, but this step was the distance between life and death.

"What should I do?" a bell-like voice hit everyone's ears, but none of the foreigners present could understand what he was saying.

"Master Long...... I'm here, can you rush up to the mainmast, cut off that fluttering rag, and throw it into the sea......" Xiao Lotian shouted.

"Strategist, why did you run to the deck, we searched all over the cabin and couldn't find you......" After speaking, Xiang Shaolong was about to untie the rope, but was stopped by Xiao Letian, "Master Long, don't untie it, don't look at me outside in the rain, but I'm safe now...... Tear this rag apart, and I'll be safer......"

Xiang Shaolong knew that once Xiao Letian's temper came up, no one would be able to say anything, so he had to let go of the military advisor, took out the bright dagger from his arms and bit it in his mouth, and began to climb up from the main mast with his hands and feet.

The foreigners and sailors were stupid, and a foreigner who was said to have never been to sea climbed the mast more quickly and steadily than these old sailors.

How did they know that now Xiang Shaolong's hands were infused with internal strength, and as soon as he grabbed the wooden mast, he could press out a faint handprint.

Long Ye scrambled up the mast, and soon approached the broken canvas flying in the wind, when half of the cable was soaked in rain and crackling in the air. If this were to be drawn to a person, it would definitely fly directly into the sea. Xiang Shaolong looked down at the blue water, then looked up at the dark sky, gritted his teeth and flew out like a swallow.

"No, ......" The Corsican captain and the sailors on the deck collectively exclaimed, they didn't understand why the scholar Xiao's bodyguard committed suicide? But before they could finish shouting, an incredible scene appeared, Xiang Shaolong actually grabbed the rope whipped in the air as lightly as a petrel.

At this time, Xiang Shaolong was like losing his weight, flying around in the sky like a kite driven by a cable. Immediately after that, his wrist suddenly exerted force, and the cable suddenly straightened, and then with a shake of his hand, he flew straight to the junction of the rope and the mast with the help of inertia.

The sword flashed, and the flag-like tattered canvas flew into the vast sea, and the dragon fell like a kite with a broken string.

"Hero, be careful......" The foreigners burst into tears of excitement, they did not expect that this Qing man would actually sacrifice his life for the safety of the whole ship.

But before their tears could flow down their jaws, suddenly Long Ye's left hand shook, and half of the rope was pulled out like a spiritual snake, and with a crisp snap, it was wrapped around a protruding mast, and Long Ye turned the corner.

The foreigners and sailors were stupid, looking at Xiang Shaolong, who was as flexible as an ape, and they didn't know how to describe it, but these old sailors all knew that the safety factor of merchant ships was greatly improved.

Long Ye walked to Xiao Letian's side against the wind and rain and shouted loudly, "Mr. Xiao...... Let's go into the cabin......" But Xiao Lotian shook his head desperately, and shouted loudly in Long Ye's ear, "I'm not going back...... Did You Know...... Scientists have counted tying themselves to the mast in the storm...... The chances of survival are much greater......"

I don't know what nonsense Xiao Letian listened to in his previous life, anyway, he remembered that there was a documentary that said that when the shipwreck happened, when the wooden sailboat was about to disintegrate, the mast was one of the easiest wrecks to take people to escape. Conversely, if people are hiding in the cabins of a ship, many people will drown before they can swim out before the sea backs up.

"Do you know Master Long? If this boat really falls apart, let's go to the sea at most to take a bath, this big log will immediately float with us, as long as we can breathe, we can survive......"

Long Ye has also made the storm stunned now, and he has always regarded Xiao Letian as an omniscient scholar, so he doesn't doubt his nonsense at all, "Okay, I'll go to the cabin and inform the brothers, so that they can also go to the deck to get drenched in ......the rain."

After a while, Captain Corsica watched in a daze as dozens of Xiao Letian's subordinates came out, tying themselves to the mast or barrel one by one, and some even tied directly to the sides of the ship on both sides of the deck.

"Where the military advisor is, we will be there......" Xiang Shaolong, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Luo Huo...... These most loyal subordinates actually all appeared on the Lucky Number, and among them there was a middle-aged man with a sallow face, this person was very strange, but the people around him, including Xiao Letian, respected him very much.

"Madmen, these are a bunch of madmen......" Captain Corsica, who had no time to convulse with them, turned around and went back to the captain's quarters when he saw that it was safe on the mast.

Until now, the Lucky had to rely on the power of luck, the wooden clipper floating helplessly in the middle of the waves, and the people on the boat were praying to their gods in the hope of avoiding the disaster.

The most difficult moment finally passed, and half an hour later, Xiao Letian, who was singing "The Internationale", suddenly found that at the end of his sight, there was actually a light shining through. It was the end of the storm, it was the edge of the whole storm cloud, and the sunlight finally appeared again.

"The sun always shines after the wind and rain, and there is a clear sky on the dark clouds...... The sun is always after the wind and rain, please believe that there is a rainbow ......" Xiao Letian, who broke his voice, finally defeated the sea god and the evil dragon with his sonic weapon, and almost drove the people on the deck crazy.

In fact, Xiao Letian later recalled this storm, he said extremely self-deprecatingly, "I was scared at the time, fortunately the heavy rain wet me, otherwise you would have seen me pee my pants, singing can strengthen my courage, now it seems that I really didn't lie to me......"

The sea finally began to calm down, the sea at this time was surprisingly beautiful, there were only small waves on the surface of the sea, and the sky overhead, half black and half bright, a rainbow stretched across the sky, countless seagulls flew at the bright end, and the fish on the sea were extremely active due to the abundant oxygen brought by the storm.

"Shi Ye, what are you looking at?" Xiao Letian, who had drunk two sips of spirits, walked to the bow of the boat, stood beside the middle-aged man with a sallow face, and handed over the silver wine jug.

"I'm thinking about our trip to Ryukyu this time, it's very likely to be a big storm, but I don't know if we can see a rainbow after the wind and rain like the weird song you sang!"

Xiao Lotian smiled and took two deep breaths, "Don't worry, Master Shi, the current Ryukyu is in a power vacuum, and our enemy is only the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, as long as they are deterred, Ryukyu will not be able to escape from our palms......"

At that moment, suddenly the lookout shouted in French, "There is a shipwreck ahead, a shipwreck a nautical mile ahead...... and when Captain Corsica heard this, he rushed to the bow of the ship and opened his monoculars to look.

"Prepare the sampan, let's save people......"

Note: This week is the darkest week since the update of "The Hidden Dragon", and Xinjing's mood is like encountering a storm and falling into the deep seabed, but Xinjing is not a lucky number, and there is not so much luck for me.

The tragedy is not over, it should be Thursday, the website system suddenly went crazy, for some reason deducted the book's 1,000 points, and as a result, it fell three places at that time, and then the downward trend can no longer be suppressed.

Until now, "The Hidden Dragon of the Great Qing Dynasty" has actually fallen out of the top fifteen of the new book list, and the books below the fifteenth have lost their position on the front page, and this week is considered a complete sinking.
