Nine nautical charts

The sea is like a wayward child, sometimes coquettish, sometimes obedient, when calm you can't describe its charm with beautiful words, and when you are angry, the worst words in the world can't describe its terrible, the blue sky and the sea that were clear just now become stormy and stormy in an instant, and on the "Elrank", a beautiful and cold girl stands calmly on the deck, the wind blows her long hair, and the waves hit her face, but she has no expression, her eyes are full of intoxication, as if enjoying a beautiful music, and the girl also sang softly to the unique music of the sea:

"The light song of the wind blowing through the sea

The legend of the rain falling to the bottom of the ocean

Dreams raise the sails of a long voyage

Hope to let go of the boundless blue sky

Set sail together

Find the treasure of the legend

Fly together

Swim beside each other

Want the treasure of Ellank?

Come on, then

It's in the sea of maze

Want the treasure of Ellank?

Come on, then

It lies lightly on the bottom of the sea

O man who is brave enough to chase his dreams

Don't be fooled by El

O intrepid navigator

Don't be shackled by nature

yes

Set sail together

Find the treasure of the legend

Fly together

Swim beside each other"

"Why are you singing this song? But your singing is much better than Tang Peng's idiot, it's just heavenly! Cheng Shuai held on to the railing and walked into the girl step by step, "Miss Zhang Lu, it's too dangerous here, let's go into the cabin and talk!" ”

Zhang Lu stopped singing, turned around and glanced at Cheng Shuai lightly, and looked back at the sea affectionately:

"Do you believe in legends?"

"What?"

"Whenever myths and legends are mentioned, there is always a lot of scientific evidence to prove their absurdity, but how much do we really know about them?" Zhang Lu stretched out his finger and pointed to the tumbling sea, and said mysteriously, "How much do we know about the sea in front of us?" And how many mysteries and puzzles are there? What lies beneath the surface of this moving sea? Everything was so fascinating......"

Cheng Shuai also glanced at the sea, grabbed his hair with one free hand, and looked at Zhang Lu helplessly:

"Why can't I understand? Please speak Chinese, thank you! ”

“...... In the age of pirates, there was a notorious pirate who was the overlord of the seas, a ruthless demon, and a brave and amorous navigator...... One day when his ship passed through a sea area, there was a sudden burst of intoxicating singing, it was not the fairy music that should be in the world, the kind of natural sound should belong to heaven, he and his crew were fascinated, and couldn't help but sail towards it, the fog gradually receded, and the song began to be clear, and then they saw a beautiful woman who they never dared to expect to see in their lives sitting on a reef singing sweet songs, that beautiful long hair, that moon-like charming face, these should not belong to mortals, She is clearly a fairy who descends to the earth...... When the boat gets closer, what people see is a mythical mermaid! But this did not stop the captain from being fascinated by her, and he fell madly in love with her, so he killed all his crew, sank the pirate ship containing his life's wealth, and sat on another reef every day and looked at her infatuatedly, and the mermaid also came out every day when the sun rose to its highest point and sang that intoxicating song for his lover, and whenever he thought of that song he felt that he was filled with strength, no tiredness, no hunger...... Time flies, and one day, the pirate finds that he can't hear the mermaid's singing more and more clearly, and he realizes that he is old, and at this moment a legend that has been passed down for a hundred years comes to his mind: eating a bite of mermaid's meat can lead to immortality...... After much struggle, he finally picked up the knife and approached her step by step, and suddenly, the sea rolled up like an angry wave and knocked him into the abyss at the bottom of the sea, and the mermaid never appeared again......"

Cheng Shuai was fascinated by what he heard, completely forgetting that he was standing on the edge of the dangerous deck, and also forgetting the churning waves, after a while, he woke up and shook his head vigorously:

"Is there any mistake? I'm really playing 'Pirates of the Caribbean'! It's too fake! And what does the myth you said have to do with Lao Tzu? ”

Zhang Lu turned her head and looked at Cheng Shuai quietly, the sea roared, the hurricane blew and hissed, and it took a long time for her to say slowly:

"I don't know, but I do know that the hero of that story is called Elrank! There's also a nautical chart to find the location of his shipwreck, and the treasure in those ships is enough to buy a nation! Plus, that nautical chart seems to be on someone in this ship! ”

Ten conspiracies

Yuan Longfei led Tang Peng and the others to a spacious and gorgeous room, the furnishings and decorations in it can only be described as extravagant:

"This is the room arranged by Boss Sui Binxi for Miss Chang Jing, Mr. Tang Peng and the third brother, no, Cheng Shuai's room is next door, one is on the left, the other is on the right, Li Han's child's room is directly opposite, Miss Guozi and Miss Liu Min's room is just on the left and right of Li Han's child - I live on the upper floor of this room, if there is anything to find me."

For some reason, Tang Peng's brows furrowed slightly, then he raised his head and looked around the room, nodded to him, and led Chang Jing to sit on the sofa, Li Han saw that Chang Jing's room was so luxurious, and he couldn't wait to see himself, so he eagerly asked Yuan Longfei for the key to his room, and ran away, Guo Zi looked around the room enviously, Liu Min was shy to find a chair and sit down quietly, Yuan Longfei politely walked to Tang Peng and continued:

"You just asked me what's wrong with my boss in the main cabin? At that time, there were too many people to tell you, so please forgive me. ”

"It's okay, I don't know if it's convenient for you now?"

"This ...... Alas! The owner disappeared a little over an hour ago! Looking at Tang Peng, who was surprised, Yuan Longfei sighed softly, "The boss was still in his room before, and when he was about to leave the boat, I received a call from him, saying that he wanted me to come to his room, but when I opened the door, I couldn't find him, and then I searched around in the next room but couldn't find it, I felt that something was wrong, so I notified Mr. Wu Wenfei, the commander-in-chief in charge of the safety of the ship, and he mobilized the police to search with all their might, but it was ......"

"Wait, who did you say was the commander-in-chief in charge of security?"

"Mr. Wu Wenfei! What's wrong? ”

Tang Peng sweated on his face and exhaled softly:

"It's okay, I want to ask, how long does it take to walk from your room to Sui Binxi's room?"

"Well...... About five minutes. ”

Tang Peng held his chin with his thumb and forefinger and thought about it, and after a while, he continued to ask:

"Did Sui Binxi do anything strange or do anything unusual not long before his disappearance?"

Yuan Longfei closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly shouted:

"By the way, the boss had a big fight with a foreigner named Bird on the boat yesterday - but it's strange that the boss often chats with him even though he hates him, and we are separated from each other every time we talk, so we don't know what to say...... Still have questions? ”

"Not for the time being...... Tang Peng frowned, and slowly looked up at him, "But, judging from your expression, you don't seem to be in a hurry—then do you want me to help you find Sui Binxi?" ”

Yuan Longfei changed color slightly, broke out in a cold sweat, and finally nodded, at this moment, the fruit came over after visiting the room and patted him lightly on the back, who knew that Yuan Longfei was so frightened that he trembled violently, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look, his timidity made the fruit almost not laugh, and only let out a long breath after Yuan Longfei found out that it was the fruit:

"Miss Fruit, can you not quietly pat me on the shoulder behind my back in the future, I'm a very timid person......"

“...... I'm sorry, this handsome gentleman, can you give me the key to my room...... I would also like to see my room. ”

"I want ....... too," Liu Min also said shyly.

"Absolutely." Yuan Longfei showed a charming smile on his face, and handed the key to Guozi and Liu Min, the other party's face was already red into autumn apples, "Is there anything else you need?" ”

Guo Zi and Liu Min said in the same cold voice almost at the same time:

"Give me the key to that idiot detective Cheng Shuai (senior brother) too—I want him to know the consequences of Huaxin!"

The two girls were stunned at the same time after speaking, and threw their heads in the opposite direction embarrassedly, and then both walked out, Chang Jing covered his mouth and laughed quietly, Tang Peng and Yuan Longfei had a drop of cold sweat on their foreheads, and the air in the room became silent all of a sudden, Yuan Longfei deliberately coughed a few times to break the embarrassing atmosphere, and then left very politely, before closing the door, he said to Tang Peng and Chang Jing as if he remembered something:

"I forgot to remind you, please don't walk around at night, especially don't go to the bottom level, well, the weather is bad now, you can't take the boat out to play, you can rest first, if you are bored, you can go to the main cabin to play gambling games - have fun."

With a crisp sound of the door closing, the room began to be cold again, Chang Jing saw Tang Peng's sullen face, as if something was bothering him, Chang Jing looked at him curiously, and suddenly smiled sweetly:

"It turns out that Brother Tang Peng will also be jealous! Hehe, don't worry, I only have Brother Tang Peng in my heart, you ......"

"How could he know the names of Guozi and Liu Min? Their names were never mentioned in our conversation, and the last time we saw Sui Binxi, neither of them had joined us, and Sui Binxi actually arranged rooms for two people he didn't know in advance...... In addition, Yuan Longfei's pace is steady, his breathing is steady, and there are many thin scars on his arms, he should be an excellent martial artist, but he deliberately pretends to be weak and timid - what does this portend? What will we face? Tang Peng suddenly muttered to himself, and then, he fell into contemplation again, and after a while, he found that Chang Jing was pouting angrily and not speaking, feeling curious, "Jing, what's wrong?" ”

"Humph! It's okay, think about your reasoning and go! I didn't say anything just now, anyway! Chang Jing twisted his head to the side and ignored Tang Peng.

Tang Peng looked at her suspiciously, wondering what was wrong with him......
