Chapter 152: Disappearing
For the ancient dynasty where technology was not developed, this shipwright's concern was obviously their normal reaction, and there must be demons when things went wrong, and the ancients' fear of ghosts and gods reached a fairly high level. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, Shen Qing knew that there were many reasons for the chaos of the magnetic field in an area, and there was no need to pull everything on the ghosts and gods.
"Except for the failure of the compass, the surroundings are relatively calm at the moment."
Lian Mo loosened the woman's waist, held her hand instead, turned to Zheng Gong and asked, "Do you remember our direction?" ”
Zheng Gong dared to glance at Lian Mo quickly, bowed his head and said, "I still remember." ”
"Then continue driving in the same direction as before, and tell everyone to pay attention to their surroundings and report any suspicious signs immediately."
Zheng Gong took the order and retreated, but Shen Qing looked at the quiet sea with some concern, and from a distance, a large area of clear blue, where the water and the sky meet, the boundary has long been blurred.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Lian Mo comforted.
Shen Qing smiled: "Hmm." Let's go, I'm hungry too. ”
Lian Mo raised his hand to pull the messy hair on her forehead, and the two walked to the dining room hand in hand.
However, halfway through breakfast, the beard came again, and Wang Lu was still by his side.
"Yushizi, it's foggy ahead."
Including clearance and words, the four of them put down their chopsticks. sink
Qingdang stood up first: "I'll take a look." ”
Lian Mo immediately grabbed her hand and got up, "I'm with you." ”
Jingkong and Yanwei also put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up closely.
The four of them quickly came to the deck, and the endless sea just now was suddenly covered by a thick fog, and their ship had not yet entered the fog, looking at the large rising and spreading fog forest in front of them from a distance of a few feet, like the edge of the earthly world and another world, mysterious and weird.
"Does the compass work now?"
The beard shook his head: "Still not." ”
"Are you sure you're not going in the wrong direction?" The beard thought for a while, exchanged glances with Wang Lu, and replied, "I have the same judgment as Wang Lu, and I shouldn't be wrong." ”
Obviously, this fairly experienced boatman has become less confident in such a scene, which is not a good thing, and if the leader does not trust his own judgment, then the next road will be difficult.
"Mr. Zheng and Mr. Wang need not be suspicious, I believe that with their experience, this line must be correct.
According to what I saw in the book, the sea area southeast of Jin Yao and Nanchu is the foggy season from January to April, and I believe that it is not the first time that the two of them have met, and this situation is really normal. ”
The two nodded, they had indeed encountered fog before, "It's just that this time is obviously different from the past, the compass is out of order, and it's the first time I've seen each other, so ......"
Shen Qing smiled, "You don't have to mind, the reason why there is a compass in this world is because the predecessors discovered the magnetic field of the earth, and in some special places, the magnetic field is also destroyed or disrupted, and it is not a strange thing."
In my opinion, it is better to follow the established route. ”
Hearing such a statement for the first time, the two shipwrights couldn't help but look at this thrilling woman with a beautiful countenance, and when they thought about it, although what she said was unheard of, it seemed to make a lot of sense.
"Qingqing, look!" Lian Mo's cold voice sounded.
Shen Qing looked in the direction of his finger, "What's that?" ”
About two feet from the hull, there was something black floating on the surface of the water, which looked like a plank, but the fog was getting thicker and the visibility was getting lower.
"It should be a fishing boat that has flipped on its side."
It was Yan Wei who spoke, and he squinted, with some difficulty in recognizing.
"A ship indeed." Lian Mo affirmed.
"Amitabha, good, good." Jingkong pinched the Buddha beads with one hand, and recited words on his chest with one palm.
Shen Qing vaguely knew that it should be a death spell.
Yes, such a small ship, let alone in the fog, is a normal sea, and it can also be attacked by large creatures in the water.
She sighed, and Lian Mo felt something, "Qingqing is worried?" ”
Shen Qing shook his head, "It's just that I suddenly feel that the power of human beings is so small in front of nature." ”
In such a thick fog, the visibility inside was only three feet, and it was almost impossible to keep up with the ships in front of them.
These people don't know the specific direction of sailing, and if they are not attacked by water monsters, they are afraid that they will be lost in this thick fog.
Lian Mo tightened the Rouyi in his hand, and gently held her in his arms with the other hand: "Don't think about it so much, they are all because of their own greed, life and death, no wonder others." ”
She shook her head, just looking worriedly at the way she was thinking.
"Let's go, since they are also in this fog, there is nothing wrong with thinking about the route."
After a whole day and a night in the fog, not a single fishing boat was seen, let alone anyone alive, but this did not mean that most of them were still alive, and it was more likely that they had been scattered and drifted somewhere.
During this period, in order to take care of the Master of Clearance, Shen Qing and Lian Mo took turns to stand guard outside so as not to encounter any emergencies.
said that it was a turn, but in fact, when Lian Mo was tired, Shen Qing took him for a while.
After passing through the fog, the beard immediately became excited, because the compass could be used, which also showed that his previous judgment was right.
He Lian Mo Shen Qing reported to him, and then ordered the crew to move forward at full speed according to the established route. On the evening of the third day, a faint yellow light was finally seen in the distance on the pitch-black sea.
They rushed up, as expected, it was the Jiang family's big boat, and it was said that the big boat was relative to the fishing boat, and it was still not enough to see compared to the one prepared by Lian Mo.
They obviously didn't think about going back, otherwise they wouldn't have traveled so lightly.
As the two boats got closer, they could see more clearly that there was not a single other ship around the big ship.
She turned her head to look at the clear space, and saw that he was spinning the beads again, and she felt it slightly.
Until the two ships were almost parallel, and the people on the opposite deck were clearly visible.
The first was a middle-aged man, in his forties, in a gray-blue brocade robe, with a jade belt inlaid with red agate at his waist. He has a Chinese face, a broad forehead, and extremely thick eyebrows.
A young man in his twenties, dressed in a blue robe and green silk, was a little similar to the middle-aged man between his eyebrows.
There is a man and a woman standing on the sides of the two, on the left is the Yu family brother and sister, and on the right is a man with a beard bigger than Zheng Gong, with a dark complexion, extremely tall, half a head taller than Lian Mo, with a burly physique, and a two-foot-long knife with a buckle pinned to his waist.
He was holding a weak woman, who was middle-to-high, with a green dress and a brocade belt of the same color, but her face was extremely haggard, and she was looking at the burly man halfway.
"Shouldn't it be eight people? How only six. Shen Qing wondered.
Even Mo said that he didn't know, his mind was on Shen Qing, and he really didn't pay attention to it.
"When Lao Qu went to Jiangfu, there were only four pictures, and I think the fifth person didn't catch up, or ......"
Or simply dead, and no one knows where the picture is hidden.
However, the four pictures are the same, so whether that person comes or not has no effect on the others. (To be continued.) )
