Chapter 6: The Curse of the Peach Blossom Land (Part II)
"It's just one thing, and the second is that there are big gaps in the navigation record, and I suspect there's something wrong." Wang Ziyue replied.
Under the guidance of Wang Ziyue's thoughts, we tried various methods, but nothing made it manifest. Wang Ziyue sat on the sofa and asked me, "Are you really sure this is your grandfather's sailing record?" Not someone else's prank? ”
"Of course, I recognize my grandfather's handwriting."
"Then didn't you think that it could be someone else's conspiracy, deliberately tricking you into taking the bait as your grandfather?"
I said, "I'm afraid it's unlikely, the things in here span nearly 30 years, and they are all carry-on items, so if you really want to trick me into taking the bait, you must have too much perseverance and hate me!" ”
Grandpa told me about a voyage in his notebook, which was about 20 years ago. At that time, Grandpa and their boat encountered a strong wind and waves, and unconsciously the ship changed direction, and when it stopped, Grandpa and they found themselves in a strange land.
The process in the middle is almost a large blank, but with Boss Bi's description of the second voyage after that, there is no difficulty in making up for it.
Grandpa must have sensed the strangeness there, so he had a second voyage with Boss Bi.
"Words can't be seen, things can't be recorded, and suffering can't be shared, this is fate."
I rubbed my neck, this is too subtle, I don't believe that a vigorous and resolute person like my grandfather can use Zen, but Wang Ziyue didn't feel anything, she motioned for me to continue reading.
In the notebook, Grandpa called this place "Peach Blossom Spring" and noted that it was a place that could not be mentioned.
Those who are afraid to read it don't understand, and grandpa also deliberately cut this article from the junior high school Chinese textbook. In the same situation as the fisherman, Grandpa said that all who have been to this mysterious "Peach Blossom Spring" will be cursed: this place must not be portrayed by anyone in any way.
I'm reminded of the Harry Potter magic that makes a place impossible to mark on the map, and it's clear that the curse of the "Peach Blossom Land" is even more brutal and powerful. Grandpa felt not only the doubts that could not be mentioned, but also the fear of being watched by something all the time, which was everywhere and no privacy could escape.
But this is much gentler than the ancient curse of the West, what Egyptian pharaohs,...... Broke into his territory and hiccuped every minute.
However, in the end, Grandpa said that this curse is not like a curse, because the cursed person will have a desire to go here.
Below Grandpa proposes a hypothesis that the curse is not to punish those who have been, but to entice them to explore it in a strange and unbelievable way. It may have been a conspiracy, but Grandpa didn't figure out why.
Finally, Grandpa wrote a paragraph: "Stranger, if you see this, I believe you will definitely go, this is fate." And when you're done, remember that this adventure is not child's play, it requires not only extraordinary courage, but also solidarity from the bottom of your heart, because you are facing the most dangerous conspiracy in this ancient country. Plus, I'll be waiting for you inside it."
Wang Ziyue saw that my expression was very strange, so she asked, "That-do you really believe this?" Don't you think it's a conspiracy? Do you think it's all true? ”
I didn't say anything, in fact, I didn't really believe in the fantasy things mentioned above, I flipped through it, and there are many more stories behind, if this is really a package sent by grandpa, then I think this should be a collection of his sailor stories.
But I will go without a doubt, grandpa is right, if I look at this thing, I will definitely go. Am I really here to take the risk? Or is it for the treasure? Or is it a promise to Boss Bi? I don't think so.
Is it to find grandpa? I do not know. It's been almost 5 years, is grandpa still alive? If I find my grandfather, only to find out that he is dead and has become a demon because of the curse, will I really be able to accept it?
Some things are easy to think about, but when they are actually implemented, they are so unacceptable.
"Why can't this be true? There is a curse of the Egyptian pharaohs in this world, why can't there be a curse of the 'Peach Blossom Spring'? ”
Wang Ziyue pouted at me and said, "Then it's none of my business, anyway, I'm going to go to the sea with you to search for treasures." ”
"Huh?" I said in my heart that this girl is really the best, why don't you want to go to Bali, but go with us to fish for seafood. "Where we're going to you - it's not very appropriate for you to go."
"Why?" Wang Ziyue asked, "I don't run around casually, I just go out to see the sea and see the world." Isn't that okay? ”
"That's not good, you come out with us, in case your family comes to look for you, you can't find it."
"No, I'm going!"
---------------------- Dividing Line------------
With Boss Bi here, I hardly have to worry about the preparations, everything is ready for him. According to his plan, we were going to make a boat to go to an island first, and then rent a boat to find the treasure.
At the moment, we are already on board.
"Twenty-five or sixteen, I don't know how to go out and fool around every day, I really raised a white-eyed wolf!"
"You are not worthy of being the descendant of our Du family, I don't have you as a son!"
"Go, go! Wherever you fall in love, it's good to lose your life! ”
Before leaving, I went to my father, and we had a big fight. My relationship with my father has always been bad, and I chose marine life for college, which is against his wishes, and we have rarely talked since then.
A few days later, we had arrived at the island, which was geographically devoid of any islands. In modern navigation, you can't find its place at all. Maybe it's because it's too small, too unimportant, to be tagged at all
We got off the boat, and Boss Bi was eager to ask for treasure, so he didn't rest, and went directly to find a boat that could be rented. Wang Ziyue and I were not in a hurry, and walked on the beach of the island.
"The name of the island is 'Cyblos' Island, which means Devil's Island in the local language, well-- Sebrus is a devil, and legend has it that he lives in a mirror."
Wang Ziyue smiled at me and asked, "How do you know so much detail?" Where did you find out. ”
"I know from Du Niang, someone has explored this place a long time before us." I said. Suddenly, the phone rang, it was Boss Bi.
"Brother Du, hurry up, time waits for no one."
Du Hao: "Ask for votes, ask for collection, ask for support." ”
