Chapter 225 [Ghost Island] (Asking for a ticket at the end of the month)

Everyone looked at this cannibal old man with strange eyes, and Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Translator, can you help me ask, what is the 'pig god ceremony' he said?"

Like this tribe that still retains the primitive social way of life, they often worship the gods of nature and all kinds of animal totems: like the wind and fire totem, the wolf totem, the cow totem, the snake totem, these are common, and even some ethnic minorities in China have them, but Zhou Yi is the first time to hear that someone worships the pig totem.

Jin Yangyang also seemed to be very interested in this, and was listening carefully with both ears fanned out.

"I know a little bit about this. In fact, the inhabitants of the Nicobar Islands often hold a kind of pig fighting competition, but it is only an event, and they do not worship the pig god."

The young man chatted with the cannibal old man for a few more words, and then turned to Zhou Yi and the others: "Ask clearly, he said that the tribe is going to select the pig god, and this treasure pig is what he got from Africa with great effort, and he wants to bring it back to the tribe to participate in the ceremony of selecting the pig god; ”

"Oh? So the pig god was chosen?"

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, but these primitive tribes have always done strange things, and they can't be measured by common sense, not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with him at all, so he didn't bother to ask: "Our little pig won't sell well, Mr. Translation, thank you." ”

Just as he was about to send away the ink translator and beckon everyone to leave, the old cannibal man suddenly stood up and pointed at Jin Yangyang. He made a big call to Zhou Yi again, and it is estimated that he will also see that Zhou Yi is Jin Yangyang's master at this time.

"Huh?" Zhou Yiyi frowned. It's a little annoying that this old man is pestering endlessly.

"Damn it, what did he say, turn it over!" Tang Bao said with his eyes narrowed.

"He said that we are all children of the world and should dedicate our strength to this world"

The young man smacked his lips and said, "He also said that the ghost that devoured humanity is about to reappear, and only the great pig god can resist it." It would be too selfish for the two of them not to sell him this little golden pig. ”

"Ghost, what's funny, right?" Tang Bao almost laughed crookedly when he heard this, and Zhou Yi also shook his head again and again. It is these ignorant natives who believe that there is an end of the world, and what era is the ghost?

"Alright, let's go. Zhou Yi shook his head. It's about to go to the box.

"Urimarsa, get out of the oil Vasiva"

When this cannibal old man saw that Zhou Yi and the others were leaving, he actually stopped in front of them, shaking his head and talking non-stop.

"Fuck off, what are you looking for?" Tang Bao glared at him, and he was about to move his fist.

"Slow Brother Bao" Zhou Yi stopped Tang Bao, and he saw a hand-drawn chart taken out of his arms by the old man of the cannibal tribe.

"Urimarsa, Masa!"

After the translation of the young man in India, Zhou Yi knew that the old man was saying, 'Sir, please see, please see', it seems that this chart is very important.

"This chart is very professionally drawn. It seems that there are capable people in the cannibal tribe, too?"

Zhou Yi took the chart drawn on the leather, only glanced at it and nodded slightly. I saw that not only the latitude and longitude are complete, but also Asia, Africa, Europe and other continents, although there are no specific cities and port names, the shape of each continent and region is correct. Even the Strait of Malacca has been outlined, and there are also route indications, and every port is marked with a small iron anchor.

"Huh? What is this?"

Zhou Yi's eyes browsed on the chart, and suddenly found that in the area of the South Pacific, three islands were marked.

This chart is extremely simple. If it weren't for the places where the route passed, the average small island would not be marked at all, and even if it was a large island like Sumatra, it would only be the size of a fingernail on the map, but these three islands are all the size of a finger, which is very conspicuous. …,

This is strange Although Zhou Yi is not a geography major, he also knows that there should not be such a large island in this region, otherwise the country would not have been established long ago?

When the cannibal old man saw that Zhou Yi had also noticed the three islands, he immediately danced excitedly, and said something to the ink translator, and the oil young man smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhou, he said that these three islands are actually one, called Ghost Island!"

"Ghost Island?" Zhou Yiqi said, "These three islands are actually one?"

"He doesn't seem to be able to say clearly, except that this chart has been passed down from generation to generation in the tribe, and this ghost island will appear every once in a while, and then mysteriously disappear, three times in the last century."

"Every time they appeared, they would record the location of the island on the map, so now it is three. According to him, there is a legend in their tribe that when the ghost island appears for the fourth time, it will bring disaster to mankind all over the world, and this danger must be eliminated by the power of the 'pig god'."

"Nonsense!"

For this kind of legend, Zhou Yi will not believe it at all. In fact, all ethnic groups will have all kinds of legends in the primitive era, for example, there are stories in China about the lack of work and the lack of Nuwa, but this cannibal tribe lacks imagination and cannot create a mythical character like Nuwa, but it has made a nondescript pig god. From this point of view, in addition to occasionally eating and eating people, they should be mainly animal husbandry, or at least domesticate wild boars.

But if you don't believe it, Zhou Yi is still a little curious about this 'ghost island', so he simply called old Hawke: "Captain Hawke, have you heard of this ghost island?"

"Ghost Island, one of the top ten mysterious islands in the world, Ghost Island is known by an old sailor, but it is not as terrible as they say. ”

Old Hawke listened to it for a long time, and he didn't care about the words of the old man of the cannibal tribe at all, and heard Zhou Yi ask. Immediately, he opened his mouth: "This is actually a volcanic island." Volcanoes erupt on the surface of the sea, and when the sea level rises, they are naturally submerged and disappear, and after a while the volcano erupts again, it may reappear."

"Oh, this volcano has erupted three times in the last century?"

"Yes, three eruptions in the last century and at the end of the last century, to be exact. once in 1890, once in 1968, and last in 1979"

Old Hawke laughed, "And that time in 1968." Two bands of pirates once fought over the island, and it is said that hundreds of people died, and the nearby sea was stained red with blood. In the end, the pirates who got the island didn't end well. In a large tsunami, it sank to the bottom of the sea along with the 'Ghost Island'. And the last time this island was seen was in 1979, you see. Here it is."

said that Zhou Yi pointed out the island on the map: "Look, this should be the last place where Ghost Island appeared in 1979, this should be 1890, and this is 1968."

"This time it appeared in 1968, but it deviated a lot from 1890?" Judging from a simple scale, the position of Ghost Island for the second time should be about 300 nautical miles away from the first time, which is estimated to be the reason for the movement of the submarine volcano, and in 1979, the position moved again, but this time it did not deviate much. There are less than fifty nautical miles.

"Huh, why does the location that appeared in 1968 look so familiar?"

Zhou Yi's heart suddenly moved, opened his collar, and took out the necklace pendant he bought at the Xinjia Leather Chinatown Night Market.

The value of this necklace pendant is not high, but the workmanship is extremely fine, and the pattern painted on it also has a taste of the European Age of Discovery. What man doesn't have a sailing dream in his heart? Zhou Yi is naturally no exception. Therefore, after getting this necklace pendant, I have been wearing it on my body, and if I don't see this chart today, I will forget it. …,

"Mr. Zhou, isn't the pattern on your pendant a ghost island, and judging from the latitude and longitude marked on it. It was where Ghost Island was located when it appeared in 1968. But the pattern on this is much finer than this chart, and it looks by hand."

Old Hawke narrowed his old eyes and looked at Zhou Yi's necklace pendant carefully: "Judging from the handiwork, this necklace pendant should be from the last century, and more"

"And what? What are you going to say, you're dying. Seeing that Old Hawke looked hesitant, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, but Tang Bao was in a hurry.

"And this kind of necklace is usually worn by pirates, and the pattern on it is their respective logo. Mr. Zhou's necklace pendant was worn by the 'Black Turban' pirates who once roamed the South Pacific, and it is said that they participated in the battle for 'Ghost Island'."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that he could buy a necklace pendant casually, but it was still a symbol of piracy? Fortunately, it was not in Europe during the Age of Discovery, otherwise he would have to be arrested as a pirate

"Woo woo sa sa a sa wah w

Seeing Zhou Yi's necklace pendant, the cannibal old man's eyes lit up, and he screamed again, as if he knew this necklace pendant.

"Oh yes, he's interested in everything. Translator, what did he say?" Tang Bao now looked at this old man more and more unpleasantly.

"Mr. Tang, he said that this necklace pendant also has one in their tribe, and it is exactly the same as Mr. Zhou's, and it should be a set. ”

A smile spread into the mouth of the young man with ink: "But he also said that this necklace pendant is not something that people can wear, and in their tribe, only the 'pig god' selected once every three years is qualified to wear it." ”

Tang Bao suddenly laughed: "Brother, did you hear it, this guy is scolding you for being a pig." ”

"What else did he say?" Zhou Yi didn't bother to take care of this goods.

"He also said that these two necklace pendants were born at the same time as the pig god, which can eliminate the adverse effects of Ghost Island, so I very much hope that you can go to his tribe and participate in the 'pig god' ceremony"

"He wants us to go to Ghost Island and participate in the 'Pig God' ceremony?" Zhou Yi was stunned.
