Chapter 268: Crossing the Embrace of the Deep Sea

I looked in the direction of Lao Tang's finger, and I saw a huge waterfall curtain slowly emerging on the surface of the sea about a nautical mile away from us. Vertices

As the ship progressed, the curtain became clearer.

It was probably the biggest thing I'd ever seen in my life.

No one knows where the waterfall started or where it will run.

As far as the eye can see, it looks like it stands proudly at the end of the whole world, encompassing the entire ocean.

At the top of this huge waterfall, there is an extremely thick mist, and if it were not for the water in the waterfall coming from the sea to the sky, I might have thought that this so-called waterfall was actually a torrential rain falling from the mist.

The water in the waterfall does go from the bottom up, and you can only hear the sound of the water breaking through the air, but you can't hear the imaginary rush of falling water at all.

Looking at the giant waterfall in front of me, I suddenly had a feeling that my three views were almost destroyed.

But I quickly calmed down, because I realized that the strange form of the waterfall is also a manifestation of the Tao, and the scenes presented by the "Tao" are originally ever-changing, and there are many scenes that cannot be explained by common sense.

The Tao of nature does not mean to obey the laws of nature, the so-called "nature" means actually "the way itself", and what the Tao follows is the Tao itself.

Old Tang leaned his head in front of the door of the inner warehouse and shouted at me: "Seeing Hela's deep embrace means that we have crossed the gully!" ”

In fact, the word that came out of his mouth should have the superficial meaning of "deep sea hug", and Hela's deep hug was actually the crew's understanding of this word.

This is a bit difficult to explain, and in layman's terms, the word has a literal meaning, but the crew's understanding of it is not limited to a literal meaning.

I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying.

I asked Lao Tang out loud, "Why does she symbolize both death and hope?" ”

Old Tang laughed at me: "After sailing in the inland sea for a while, you will understand that sometimes, death is also a kind of hope. ”

I have to say that I can't understand the meaning of this sentence for the time being.

"Hold on!"

Old Tang suddenly shouted, and then quickly crawled to the ground, grabbing a wooden handle embedded in the deck.

When I got on the boat, I noticed that there were many similar handles embedded in the deck, and I wondered why I would install such a thing on the deck that was originally flat, without fear of stumbling.

At this time, seeing the old soup crawling on the ground, we also did the same, quickly rushed to the deck, leaned down, and grabbed the handle on the deck.

Just as I was grasping the handle, I heard a strong wind from below the hull, and then I heard the sound of the water falling down the bottom of the boat into the sea as the hull left the sea.

The Iron Maiden beneath me floated into the air!

Not long after, the bow of the boat rushed into the waterfall, and at that time, a large stream of water could be clearly felt hitting the bottom of the boat, causing the entire hull to tremble violently and rapidly as if it had been electrocuted.

Seriously, at that moment I was really worried that the boat would not be able to withstand the impact and fall apart in an instant.

Fortunately, although the ship was made of wood, it lived up to its name of "steel", and she was as strong as a steel monster, and the violent impact only caused her to tremble, but it could not hurt her in the slightest.

After passing through the giant waterfall, the Iron Maiden used its inertia to move forward nearly 100 meters in the air before falling rapidly.

Because of the speed of the fall, my whole body flew like a kite, and I had to hold on to the handle on the deck to not really fly out.

Soon, the ship slammed into the sea, and the sound of the crash almost broke people's eardrums.

I clung to the handle on the deck, first sinking below the surface with the Iron Maiden, and then quickly surfacing with the ship.

When the big ship came out of the water, the whole hull was jolting up and down, and the sea water pressed on the deck quickly flowed down the drainage channel, and several of us were soaked in the sea.

Fortunately, the ship smashed directly into the sea just now, if it hadn't smashed into it, and lost the cushion brought by the sea, our bodies would have crashed directly into the deck, even if we didn't break a few bones, it would be enough.

Lu Shengcai couldn't get up at all now, he stood up tremblingly, and then hugged his arms and said to me: ", it's so thrilling, I thought I was going to burp just now." ”

Yun Sheng shook off her wet hair, walked over and glanced at Lu Shengcai's face, frowned and said, "Your face is white with fright, that's a little bit of breath." ”

To be honest, I was a little scared in my heart, but in addition to being afraid, I also felt very excited.

It felt like a roller coaster ride just now, and I would like to do it again if I could.

At this time, I heard Lao Tang shouting near the inner warehouse: "Don't drink all the wine, it's a tribute to the sea god!" ”

It was only after he shouted that I realized that the captain was also on deck, and that he was holding the mast in one hand and the bottle in the other, grinning at us.

Looking at his wine red face, it is clear that he is too drunk.

But he was very calm, as if nothing had happened, and I guess he was still pouring wine into his stomach with a bottle when the ship smashed into the sea.

Old Tang trotted to the captain's side, and took out a net bag from behind the mast, which contained nothing but wine.

The captain smiled and said to Lao Tang: "I set aside the Seagod's share in advance, and I have this bottle in my hand...... Belch...... It's my own. ”

Lao Tang probably also saw that the tribute was still there, so he didn't say anything more, and rushed to the edge of the boat with a net bag.

The noise was not heavy at the moment, so Lao Tang said to me in a normal volume: "For the sea god, spirits are the best tribute. ”

I asked Lao Tang, "Where is the sea god?" ”

Old Tang smiled at me: "She will appear soon." ”

Here I was talking to Lao Tang, and suddenly clouds gathered in the sky.

After crossing the waterfall, the sun was abundant and the sky was blue, but the clouds were like ink seeping out of the blue sky, first emerging piece by piece, and then connecting with each other, and in less than a few minutes, the entire sky was occupied.

The strange thing is that when the sunlight is completely blocked, we can still see everything around us, but everything seems to be painted with a dark coat of paint.

The color of the ocean has changed from azure to a deep purple blue, and the wood-colored deck has taken on a deep tan.

Then, the sea began to surge.

The wind howled on the sea, but the Iron Lady seemed to have lost its ability to bear the wind, and actually staggered and stopped in place, while the surrounding sea surface seemed to be distorted by some strange force, forming huge waves hundreds of feet high, floating continuously in the distance.

In front of those huge mountain waves, the Iron Maiden is like an ant standing at the foot of an elephant, insignificant.
