Chapter 93: The Ghost Ship
"Then I'll go for it. Wang Dinghe said directly.
Everyone was in the same mood, and then they had more goodwill towards Wang Dinghe's neatness and responsibility.
"How many people are going to the mage?" Lu Xinwu tried to understand the tunnel again.
"I don't have a core warband, so I'm alone. Wang Dinghe simply said.
In the end, Wang Dinghe took Jin Tidao and Han Zheng to take the Taiping Bureau's special plane to the Great Guanyin Temple of Putuo Mountain.
Jin Tidao was arranged by Lu Xinwu to fully connect with the task force of the "619 Extraordinarily Large Missing Population Case".
Han Contradiction is that he took the initiative to ask Ying, and he had to go.
On the special plane, the three people looked very solemn, each with their own thoughts.
The temporary headquarters of the task force was set up in the guest hall of the Great Guanyin Temple on Putuo Mountain.
Yuan Dixin, the deputy commander of the Han and Tang Empires, personally commanded the rescue.
The abbot of the Great Guanyin Temple, Bajing Shitai, also fully cooperated to investigate the apparition of Guanyin.
When Wang Dinghe came to the Great Guanyin Temple, Yuan Lixin was walking in the courtyard of the Guanyin Temple.
I saw this person, fifty years old, middle-class figure, a royal blue Han and Tang Dynasty clothes, and an extraordinarily spiritual temperament.
The temples are slightly white, the eyes are shining, the cheekbones are high, the nose bridge is wide, the mouth is small, the sea is beardless, the face is white, there is a kind of calmness and confidence between the gestures, and the wisdom is precipitated in the strength, at first glance, he is a sage who can assist the saint.
Now, of course, it's more about restlessness and restlessness.
As soon as Wang Dinghe came, he immediately held a meeting.
The meeting was attended by Abbot Yuan Dixin, and the heads of the military, local, and religious departments.
Although Yuan Dixin was slow and reasonable, his voice was like a bell, and he reported the latest progress of the "619 Extraordinarily Large Missing Population Case" in a methodical manner.
The latest development is that the Navy's search and rescue team has spotted a small fishing boat in the East China Sea, which is empty.
The Marines arrested more people who had led the troubles and had to go to sea to worship Guanyin.
After Yuan Dixin finished speaking, he looked at everyone and asked if there was any compensation, but everyone was silent.
"Well, since there is nothing to add, let's follow the procedure. Yuan Dixin looked at Jin Tidao.
Jin Tidao read out a red-headed document stamped with the seals and signatures of the three major patriarchs of the empire, Confucian Cheng Keji, military Li Guishi, and Legalist Li Guishu.
1. Redefine the nature of the case as a "paranormal event" rather than an ordinary case of missing persons at sea.
II. The "619 Extraordinarily Large Missing Persons Case" case was transferred to conclude the case, and the special case group was disbanded.
3. Re-establish the "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" task force, with Wang Dinghe as the team leader, and Yuan Dixin and Bajing Shitai as the deputy leaders.
After the document was read out, Yuan Dixin let out a long breath, and his whole body suddenly relaxed a lot. And everyone's eyes "brushed" the ground, and all of them were focused on Wang Ding and this young man in his twenties.
"Next, I would like to invite Team Leader Wang to make an important speech. Yuan Dixin first applauded and welcomed.
Wang Dinghe hurriedly stood up, bowed and thanked him, and then said in shock: "Actually, the state has characterized this case as a supernatural event, and I have reservations. Spirits include yin spirits, elves, gods, etc., and generally yin spirits are the majority, which is what we often call ghosts. However, there are all kinds of indications in this case that it was definitely not the work of the Yin Spirit. ”
"Why?" someone asked.
"Because the so-called Yin Spirit is nothing more than a mass of qi. Even if it is condensed into an entity, it is impossible to directly devour 2,000 people at once. No matter how powerful the Yin Spirit is, it is just the Yang Qi that devours people. Of course, there are ghosts who specialize in eating meat, and we call them ghouls. However, even ghouls are only interested in a certain part of the corpse, and it is impossible to eat all the corpses of 2,000 people, not even clothes and shoes. Wang Dinghe continued to analyze.
"What should be the incident?" asked Yuan Di puzzled.
"I feel that it should be characterized as a sea beast eating man. Because only beasts eat people, they will directly swallow dates and leave nothing behind. If it is a spirit, then there must be a remnant, because the spirit has no body and cannot digest so many corpses. Wang Dinghe said firmly.
"And what explanation for so many ghost ships?" questioned a man with glasses at the end of the conference table.
"What ghost ship?" Wang Dinghe asked, because it wasn't written in the report.
"It's the boat that our rescue team found at sea. A total of 32 boats of various sizes have been towed back so far. All the ships showed no signs of being damaged by sea beasts, and according to the statistics of the maritime department, all the ships that went out were recovered, and none of them were missing. The man with glasses explained.
That is, all the ships that went to sea were recovered, and not a single one was missing.
However, all of them are missing, and none of them have been found.
Then there is only one explanation, the ghost ship.
Obviously, Wang Dinghe's sea beast qualitatively said that he couldn't pass the ghost ship.
At the meeting, everyone had a heated discussion.
Yuan Dixin asked solemnly, "Then since it is not a yin spirit, could it be a god?"
After all, Guanyin Bodhisattva's golden body has a picture and a truth.
Bajing Shitai, an old nun in her fifties, finally spoke: "It can't be the Thousand-Armed Guanyin." ”
"Why?" the crowd asked.
"Thousand-armed Guanyin, great compassion, great compassion to save the suffering, how can it harm people?"
"This ......" everyone sighed.
"Yes, it shouldn't be a god either. At least it won't be the real manifestation of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. Because, the guidance of Buddhism is fundamentally different from the ascension of Taoism. The guidance of Buddhism only accepts people's spiritual consciousness, unlike Taoism, which can directly ascend to the physical body. Wang Dinghe saw that everyone was not convinced, and hurriedly explained.
"Could it be the introduction of Taoism, there have been legends of overseas immortal mountains in the East China Sea since ancient times. Could those people really be taken up by the immortals to the Immortal Mountain?"
"Then why is there a statue of the thousand-armed Guanyin?"
"Mirage!"
The discussions at the meeting became more relaxed and lively.
It's okay like this, after all, I've been suppressed for more than a month, and it's hard to relax.
In the end, the discussion was dismissed.
Wang Dinghe's sea beast theory could not convince everyone.
The Yin Spirit said, the gods said, and the East China Sea Immortal Mountain said that it was difficult to convince the public.
Wang Dinghe finally had to rely on Yuan Dixin's prestige to re-divide the labor.
Yuan Dixin is still fully responsible for all work at sea, including continuing the search and rescue at sea and continuing the coastal blockade.
The Eight Respectful Masters are fully responsible for religious affairs, especially the ideological guidance of all Buddhist believers, including local good men and women, as well as some religious insiders from all over the country who have heard the news.
Wang Dinghe was ready to go and see the so-called ghost ships for himself.
