Chapter 269: Seagod
Soon, behind us there were huge mountain waves, and these continuous crests surrounded the Iron Maiden, like a group of giants looking down on a small creature.
Old Tang seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and he turned me on his elbow and whispered, "She'll be there soon." ”
Poseidon is about to appear!
After a moment, Lao Tang raised his hand and pointed to a wave peak in front of him.
I saw a long black shadow emerge from the purple-blue waves, it seemed to be a snake, but because it hid itself tightly in the waves, I couldn't see its appearance clearly, I could only see a black shadow running through seven or eight waves, and it was constantly squirming at this time, as if it was releasing some kind of signal.
I heard Lao Tang say: "Anyone who has sailed in the inland sea thinks that she is the guardian saint of the sea, but she only guards the sea and is not interested in humans. For her, we are as dispensable as duckweed in the sea. She has no ill will towards humans, but she also doesn't have good intentions, sometimes she hurts humans, sometimes she doesn't. The only way to avoid bad luck 100% is to please her. ”
As he spoke, Lao Tang patted the net pocket at his feet: "She loves wine like her life." ”
I asked Lao Tang, "What kind of creature is our sea god?" ”
Lao Tang shook his head: "No one has seen her true face, come, take a hand, we have to throw the tribute off the boat." ”
I immediately stepped forward and lifted the net pocket with Lao Tang, and Lao Tang shouted the trumpet and threw the whole bag of wine off the deck.
The net pocket fell into the sea, stirring up a small broken wave, and with the sound of broken waves, the figure of the sea god also disappeared into the depths of the huge waves.
I couldn't help but wonder a little: "She's gone?" ”
Old Tang made a silent gesture at me, and then pointed to the surface of the sea close to the hull of the ship, motioning for me to look into the sea.
I leaned on the edge of the boat and looked down into the sea, and it didn't take long to see that the water around the hull of the ship was gradually turning dark, and the area of this dark area was getting larger and larger, and soon the sea area within a radius of about 100 meters became pitch black.
It took me a while to react, and at this moment an incomparably large creature was slowly approaching us, and the black mass in the sea water was its shadow.
This is the god of the sea?
I didn't feel the enormity of it just now when it appeared in the distant waves, but now that it was approaching the boat beneath our feet, I realized my own insignificance.
When the black color in the sea expands to a diameter of up to 200 meters, it does not change.
Lao Tang looked at the dark shadow under the sea, and couldn't help frowning: "Why didn't she move?" ”
He was talking to himself, and I didn't need to respond, I was still staring at the sea, as if my gaze was frozen, and I couldn't take it away.
At that time, I had a faint feeling that when I was staring into the deep sea, the things in the deep sea were also staring at me.
I can't see its eyes, but I can feel its gaze, and its mood.
At first it was calm, as deep as the bottom of the sea, but I don't know when I felt fear in it.
This fear is spreading and amplifying rapidly in its state of mind.
When the fear was amplified to the limit, the dark shadow under the ship began to shrink rapidly, and disappeared within a minute.
Together with the huge waves floating in the distance, they gradually calmed down as the black shadow disappeared.
The sky was like a sponge, quickly sucking away those inky clouds, and the sky was blue again, and the sun was shining again.
At this time, I suddenly thought of a question, when I came out of the inner warehouse, it seemed that it was still night, why did it dawn so quickly?
The net used to hold the wine is still floating on the surface of the sea, and the bottles inside have not been damaged in any way.
Lao Tang stared at the net pocket not far away, and after a short while, he suddenly shouted at me: "She is afraid of you, and the sea god is afraid of you!" ”
I was a little confused: "How do you know it's scared of me?" ”
Just now I did feel a huge fear from the sea god, but I don't know what this fear comes from, listening to the meaning of the old soup, the reason why the sea god is afraid is because of me?
But how did he know that a sense of fear had just surfaced in the sea god's heart?
I heard Lao Tang ask, "Did your master mention Wu Lin to you?" ”
"I mentioned it, Master said that he is the myth of Haishi."
"Then do you know why he became the myth of Haishi?"
"Listen to what Master means, but no matter how difficult the task assigned to Wu Lin by Haishi, he can complete it, and he has never missed."
"This is only a small part of the reason, he became a myth because the sea god was afraid of him. When Boss Wu first entered the Inland Sea, he didn't pay tribute to the sea god, but his ship was attacked by the sea god and three crew members died, and guess what? ”
"What's wrong?"
Boss Wu was furious, and jumped into the sea with a dagger and a speargun. No one knows how he dealt with the sea god back then, everyone only knows that since that incident, whenever Boss Wu enters the inland sea, the sea god will never appear. The god of the sea fears him and respects him. ”
I was shocked: "Such a huge thing, and in the water, how can he ......?"
Lao Tang didn't seem to hear my words at all, and only cared about fun: "The sea god is also afraid of you!" Hahahaha, let you get on the boat, definitely I made the most correct decision in my life I found. ”
As soon as the words landed, I heard a "bang" sound from under the ship, and when I looked down, I saw that it was the captain who jumped into the sea and ran to "save" the whole net of spirits.
This frightened Lao Tang, and he couldn't care about the gods anymore, so he hurriedly called someone and drove the lifeboat to the sea to catch people.
Soon, the news that I scared the sea god away spread all over the ship through the mouth of the old soup, and then people often came to me and asked me how I scared the sea god away.
I don't know how I scared it away! But I couldn't help but ask too many people, so I made a joke, saying that I might be a distant relative of that Boss Wu, and he was afraid not of me, but of the blood in our bodies.
It wasn't until much later that I realized that Boss Wu and I were not only distant relatives, but in a sense, we were originally the same person.
The destination of this voyage is the sea market located in the Devil's Triangle, which is very far from the national border, although the inland sea and the open sea are almost two unrelated worlds, and the day and night changes in the inland sea, including the sailing mileage, cannot be measured by the standards of the open sea, but even so, it still takes up to half a month for us to reach our destination.
The inland sea is unpredictable, and anything can happen in this half a month.
Everyone's enthusiasm for me was quickly eroded by the increasingly complicated situation in the inland sea, and everyone focused on sailing.
