Chapter 207: The Song of Survival
Dong Dahai said aggrievedly: "That's because you haven't heard of ghost islands! In this sea, as long as a mirage appears in the middle of the night, it must be a ghost island." ”
"Fuck you!" I pulled Dong Dahai up suddenly: "Can there be a mirage in your house in the middle of the night?"
Theoretically, a mirage can also appear at night, but I have always felt that mirages can only appear during the day, so I pulled Dong Dahai up for the second time.
Dong Dahai said with a crying voice: "What I said is true, before the appearance of the ghost gate, there was a sea city Chenlou! You yourself have encountered a ghost ship, why don't you believe that you can get out of the ghost gate on the sea?"
Dong Dahai stunned me all of a sudden-since I got on the wooden boat, everything seemed unbelievable, and it was hard to guarantee that what the other party said was not the truth.
I was silent for a moment and said, "What are you doing with the boat out at night?"
"The travel company set it, and they gave a lot of money, not to say that they wanted to see the night view. Dong Dahai pointed to the sky and scolded his mother and shouted: "Damn, the people from the travel company look like they are bull-nosed and old-fashioned, and they are not good people at first glance." ”
"What did you say?" I said urgently, "Tell me what that boss looks like." ”
Dong Dahai described it for a long time before he made the other party's appearance clear, and that person was Xu You. Was Xu You the one who directed this shipwreck?
I said in a deep voice, "Explain to me how you sank the ship." ”
Dong Dahai said for a long time, and I understood that before the cruise ship was overturned, there was indeed a mirage on the sea.
At that time, the tourists on the boat were still looking at the sea, but a mountain peak quietly erected from the sea was forcibly inserted into the scenery of the sea and sky, and the misty peak seemed to cross the vast sea and pour towards the cruise ship in an instant.
Everything on the mountain peak became clearer, especially the tall palace gate on the top of the mountain, which was tightly closed, seemed to be close at hand, and could fall from the top of the mountain at any moment, and the passengers on the boat erupted in shocking cheers after a brief moment of panic.
Dong Dahai was frightened by the strange scene in the sky, and wanted to turn the rudder like crazy, but the cruise ship lost control at this time and rushed straight to the direction where Haishi Chenlou appeared.
According to Dong Dahai, it was as if they had forcibly rushed into the phantom of a mirage, and the objects in front of them became blurry for a moment, and by the time the scenery in front of them recovered, the cruise ship had already encountered a whirlpool.
I was silent for a moment before I said, "What's the matter with the "Song of Life" you just said?"
Dong Dahai said: "We have a legend here. It is said that in ancient times, demons were rampant on the sea, and fishermen not only did not dare to go out to sea to fish, but also sacrificed living people to the sea monster every year. ”
"Later, some immortals passed by and took pity on the people and wanted to kill the demons. However, those demons were too big, and the gods didn't dare to kill them easily. So he took them and imprisoned them on an island. ”
"The gods were afraid that the coastal people would strayed into the island where the demons were imprisoned, so they deliberately left a ballad called "Song of Life", in case anyone was swept into the ghost island, they could go out alive according to the words sung in "Song of Life". ”
Dong Dahai pulled his hair and sighed: "I still sang when I was a child, and I can't remember the rest of me." ”
I couldn't help frowning: "I'm still the same sentence, how can you be sure that we must have entered Ghost Island?"
"That's what is sung in "Song of Life"......" Dong Dahai said: "Didn't I say that I saw a mirage on the sea?"
Dong Dahai said: "The gate in the mirage is the gate of heaven, which has appeared on the sea many times before, and the gate is open every time. The elders say that once the gate of heaven is closed, the ghost gate hidden in the sea will be opened, and the ship on the sea will accidentally break into the ghost gate. ”
I said in a deep voice: "The door of heaven is closed, and the door of ghosts is open, is that what does it mean?"
Dong Dahai said: "The next sentence is, the moon is on the edge of the blade but not the sea." It means that after the mirage is dispersed, there will be a thin line in the sky as if it had been cut by a knife, and if the moon sinks near that line, it will not be able to go any further, and if it goes forward, it may be able to get into the ghost gate. ”
I snapped, "Didn't you say that the mirage hasn't dispersed yet, and you rushed in?"
Dong Dahai said: "The mirage disappeared for a few seconds, yes, yes, it did disappear for a few seconds, and then it came out again." ”
At that time, I really didn't believe Dong Dahai's words, but I later learned that he wasn't lying. At that time, Dong Dahai was stunned by me at first, and he didn't fully explain the cruise ship rushing out and passing by.
In fact, the Haishi Tower had briefly disappeared for a few seconds. After the phantom on the sea dissipated, there was indeed a wonder of "a line of clouds" in the sky, the narrow cloud line is the crack drawn by the blade in the blue sky, and the first half of the white moon just sank in the first line of clouds.
I knew that it wouldn't be of much use to ask any more, so I simply said, "How is it sung behind "Song of Life"?"
Dong Dahai shook his head and said: "It seems that it is a mountain that turns to a high platform, and there are some immortals pointing to the outside of the sacred mountain, I can't remember, I really can't remember." I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of a word. ”
I said urgently, "Who will sing "Song of Life"?"
Dong Dahai knocked on his head and said: "We people who run the sea will know that "Song of Life" is a nursery rhyme we sang when we were children, we all sang it when we were children, and we stopped singing it when we grew up. ”
At this point, I can't complain about Dong Dahai, who can still remember the nursery rhymes when I was a child, now let me think about the children's songs I sang when I was a child, and I can probably only remember one or two sentences. Besides, nursery rhymes like "Song of Life" will not be sung by children only when they grow up, and singing it makes people laugh.
I dragged Dong Dahai up: "Let's go, let's go find someone else, I don't believe it, the two of us were swept into the ghost island." There must be others on the island, let's look for it along the beach, maybe we can find it. ”
Dong Dahai's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up with me, and I asked as I walked: "Dong Dahai, have you heard about the cruise ship breaking into the ghost island before?"
Dong Dahai shook his head and said: "I have been running in this sea for more than 20 years, and I have never seen anything strange, and I have never heard of anyone being swept into Ghost Island. Those legends are all left by the older generations......"
Dong Dahai said bitterly: "The old generation talks about the ancients, and the real and false talk is nonsense, who is serious? But who would have thought that these things would come true." ”
Yes, who can take the old generation seriously? There are some stories and dynasties, and the characters can be confused, and it is okay to listen to them and enjoy them. Who would have thought that sometimes the things in this story can really determine life and death!
Dong Dahai's words are actually full of contradictions.
When the king of the sea asks for a boy or a girl, he will send a ghost envoy ashore to ask for his life. So, what's going on with the mirage and the ghost gate?
Normally, there are no two disconnected legends in one place. Religion aside, then people in a certain area are in awe of a god. Even if there are other legends, they are all related to that god, such as master and apprentice, such as brother. Like the six hundred miles of mountains and rivers in Huoyun Cave in "Journey to the West", the sixty mountain god lands rarely appear.
If Dong Dahai's statement is true, it can only mean that there are two gods in this sea area, which is unreasonable.
What made me feel even more puzzled was that before we set off, Si Ming had already told me and Si Ruo bluntly that this time we were meddling in the mission of the disciples of the Divine Exploration Hand, and the Divine Detective Hand might lead me to a certain forbidden area, but he would not deliberately overturn the cruise ship.
Even if the Divine Explorers disregarded the lives of the innocent people on the ship, how could they conclude that the preparatory disciples would definitely survive the shipwreck? No matter how strong the manpower was, it was impossible to fight against nature, and the submarine vortex could tear apart the pleasure ship made of steel, so could it not bury a few preparatory disciples of the Divine Explorer?
Unless the Divine Explorer knows for sure, the undersea vortex will not hurt people, but will only send people to this desert island?
It's impossible!
I immediately dismissed my idea, which was too absurd to be realistic.
Could it be that Si Ruo and I didn't find the Prospector Disciple Trial Mission at all, but were drawn into another crisis?
Is this possible?
How similar are the events we have encountered to the Lonely Mountain Cave? They are simply the work of the same person. There is also a secret mark of dawn as evidence, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a test to explore the hands of God.
Could there be something else in there?
Command?
I don't doubt what Si Ruo is, what I'm worried about is Si Ming. The legendary Lord of the Demon Gate will never be a simple character, he would deliberately arrange such a killing game because he was angry with his daughter?
It shouldn't be!
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and I kept my head down and walked forward, Dong Dahai followed me step by step, and after walking along the beach for a distance, the more I walked, the more I felt wrong.
I never wanted to go near the beach, but the closer I got to the sea, and in a few moments both feet were in ankle-deep water.
When I set off, I was almost ten meters away from the sea, and I was still subconsciously leaning on the shore along the way, and I didn't even know how I stepped into the water.
I pulled Dong Dahai to the shore for more than ten meters before saying, "Let's take a look, I don't believe we can tread in the water again." ”
Dong Dahai followed closely behind me: "Let's go to the mountains, right? I heard the elders say that the sea in some places will hook people, let's not be confused in the Dead Sea......"
Dong Dahai is afraid, and I am also hairy in my heart, there are some things that I can't think about, and the more I think about it, the more frightening it becomes.
When I looked into the sea just now, I really felt that under the surging water there were souls that had been dead for an unknown number of years, and they were moving forward tentatively with the waves, and I didn't know when I could reach out from the fine gravel and touch my feet in the water.
"Then let's go!" I didn't dare to be stubborn at this time.
