Chapter 274: The clouds follow

Since Lu Shengcai had woken up, I didn't say anything, and immediately beckoned him and Yunshang to leave the dormitory, and rushed to the deck with the captain.

When he was about to arrive at the door of the inner warehouse, Luo Sheng suddenly came over: "Gaisang? ”

I glanced at him, "Something?" ”

Luo Sheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "Are you really okay?" ”

I also laughed: "What do you think?" ”

Luo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, if something goes wrong, we're all done." ”

Because of well-known historical reasons, I have never had any good feelings about Rasen's country and the people in that country, but since he got on the ship, Rasheng has been trying to change my opinion of him.

Listening to him, his great-grandfather was a very famous onmyoji, and he was also a very persistent anti-war person, originally their family's yin-yang art belonged to the family inheritance, but his stubborn great-grandfather did not pass on the family learning, as early as after the war of aggression began, his great-grandfather gave up his original identity, and never used any magic again.

Because the old man knew very well in his heart that his yin and yang technique itself was derived from the Chinese theory of yin and yang and the five elements, in his eyes, his country has been a good student most of the time from ancient times to the present, but when this good student sacrificed the butcher's knife to his former teacher, the old man felt a great shame.

For him, such behavior is tantamount to deceiving his teachers and destroying his ancestors.

At that time, he told his family that from the moment the country of the Eastern Sun raised the butcher's knife to his teacher, he was no longer qualified to live as an onmyoji.

And the old man's philosophy also had a great impact on his children and grandchildren, resulting in Luo Sheng having been adrift at sea since he became an adult, and never set foot in the country again, because every time he returned to China, he would think of his great-grandfather, and he felt that his homeland would only bring him shame.

I also asked Luo Sheng, how are people like him in their country?

Luo Sheng said with great regret that people like him can only say that there are, but very few, and most of the older people are busy making up seemingly legitimate reasons for that period of history, or excuses for exoneration, and even clamoring to launch another war of aggression, and many young people now have become like lambs in a greenhouse, they no longer care about history, they only care about themselves.

Very few people dare to face that history, and there may be fewer in the future.

Only when everyone faces up to that period of history and is willing to atone for it will Luo Sheng return to his homeland.

I asked Luo Sheng, then won't you be able to go back for the rest of your life?

Luo Sheng said that it would be better not to go back, anyway, he had no relatives in his homeland.

I have to say, after talking to Luo Sheng a lot, I have a good impression of this person, he has the unique politeness of Fusang people, but there is no indifference of Fusang people, he is not afraid of others causing trouble to him at all, but he is very willing to treat others with his heart.

I think that if Luo Sheng is placed in their own country, he should be an extremely rare outlier, easy to be rejected by the group, and people like him are indeed not suitable to stay in that country.

When we followed the captain to the deck, Lao Tang was also there, and as soon as Lao Tang saw the three of us, the expression on his face suddenly changed from worry to alertness.

As soon as his face changed, I had to shout in advance: "We're fine." ”

Hearing me say this, Lao Tang's face was relaxed at first, but soon, that face was occupied by deep worry.

"What's wrong?" I quickly approached Lao Tang and asked.

Lao Tang raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Since just now, that dark cloud has been following our ship, and that thing can be said to be a sign of bad luck." But any ship that enters the sea of fog under the dark clouds will be doomed in the end. ”

"Is it so mysterious?" As I spoke, I looked up at the mast.

Sure enough, directly above the Iron Maiden, there was a dark black cloud, even in the dark night, its overly rich dark color was very conspicuous, the area of the cloud was quite small, from my position up, it was only a small piece the size of a palm, except for it, there were no clouds in the night dome.

The sky is full of stars, and the moon has not yet appeared.

And I stared at the dark cloud for a while, and found that as the ship moved, his relative position to the hull had not changed at all, and the top of the mast had been pointing to its center.

It's really evil, that cloud is really chasing us.

I asked Lao Tang, "Have you ever encountered a similar situation before?" ”

Lao Tang: "No, I haven't heard of anyone in this situation in the past hundred years. ”

Lu Shengcai was shocked at the time: "You have lived for more than a hundred years?" ”

Old Tang Bai glanced at him: "I don't have that blessing, but I have seen the history of navigation in the past hundred years, and the last time dark clouds followed the ship was more than one hundred and twenty years ago." ”

I took out a handful of horn charms from my pocket and stuffed them into Luo Sheng: "Distribute these horn charms to the others, one for each person." ”

Luo Sheng first distributed the three horn charms to the captain, first mate, and chief, and then left with the other horn symbols.

I watched Luo Sheng go to the inner warehouse, and then I turned around and asked Lao Tang: "What kind of misfortune will you encounter if you are followed by dark clouds?" ”

Lao Tang sighed: "This cloud will attract all the banshees hidden in the sea of fog, and the singing of one banshee can affect the whole ship, if all the banshees gather together to sing, I guess the boat can sing for them." ”

"So serious?"

"This is still an optimistic estimate, you are an expert in this area, hurry up and think of a way."

When did I become an expert?

It's the first time you've been to sea, and if you're an expert, it's got to be you. Besides, I haven't seen those banshees, and you're asking me to come up with a way out of thin air, isn't that a joke?

After pondering the wording for a long time, I said to Lao Tang: "Let's see the situation first." ”

Lao Tang sighed helplessly: "Your master often used this sentence to perfunctory me back then. Hey, it's worthy of being a pro-apprentice! ”

As we spoke, a fog began to rise in front of the ship's bow.

At first the fog was very light, just spreading slowly on the surface of the sea like a veil, but as time went on little by little, the fog began to thicken, and finally the whole ship was shrouded in the fog, and when you looked up, you could not see the top of the mast, and you could only reach the edge of the ship as far as you could see.

And the fog was like a huge hand, pressing against the edge of the ship.

Old Tang took out a compass from his pocket, and as soon as he opened the needle cover, I heard a rapid cracking sound, and when I looked at it, the needle was turning violently, and the breaking sound came from the needle shaft.

"The magnetic field is not normal, it seems that the banshee is already approaching us." Lao Tang closed the needle cap and said to me with a worried face.

I didn't respond verbally, just pressed my mind in the altar, and then walked to the edge of the boat, leaned over, and stood there, at least a small piece of sea could be faintly seen.

At this moment, the sea seems to be calm, but there are small ripples everywhere on the water, as if a drizzle is falling in the sky, and the rain falls into the sea, stirring up small ripples.
