Chapter 55: The Dutchman Flying in the Sky

Uncle Ming was afraid that he would fall into the sea, so he hugged an arrow stone and shouted: "Hu Zai, or your uncle and I usually do too many good deeds and accumulate great virtues, so that the Ji people have their own celestial phenomena. ”

I used to be in Fujian, and I also heard that there was a South China Sea "dragon soldiers" thing, and the sea market, sea and other phenomena are rare wonders on the sea, that refers to whales or turtles gathered into a group, whale spine tortoise shells float out of the water, looking at the sea from afar, magnificent, fishermen think that the phenomenon of dragon soldiers is different, whales and turtles are auspicious signs, and a large number of sea fish float across the sea, it is a poor harvest of seafood, the disaster omen of the impending shipwreck.

In fact, the phenomenon of "crossing the dragon soldiers" is a great change in the seabed, causing a group of aquarium migrations in the sea, it may be the coral spiral in the sea air dragon fire disappeared, the turtle group in the "return to the ruins" only floated far away, just the god tree we rely on to float up, I used to be with the fat man in the hundred eyes cave between the grassland and the desert, I have seen the tortoise shell all over the ground, the "turtle burial" in the sea air changes like a ghost city, resulting in a gray "color" of the monuments, now think about it, the hundred eyes cave ghost market fantasy cloth, a strange situation of changing land, exactlyThe ancient tomb in the "Returning Ruins", the coral spiral sea area as early as thousands of years ago, there must have been several "dragon soldiers" turtle migration wonders, but the turtles that escaped from the ruins back then have long been buried in the "turtle sleeping place" of the Yellow Spring of the Hundred Eyes.

Uncle Ming asked everyone to seize the opportunity, copy the knife again to chop the dead body of the grandmother, I saw that things had taken a turn for the better, thinking of Ruan Hei and Duo Ling's master and apprentice's "sex" life, all left at the end of the "Southern Dragon" remnant vein, my heart was a long time lost, I suddenly felt weak all over the body, I felt that I couldn't stand on my feet, so I sat on the wood, as soon as my hand touched the tree, the wooden arrows and stones fell into the water, I looked down and saw that the cracks on the wood were deepening and expanding, and I couldn't help but shiver immediately: "Oh no, this ancient wood has been hit by the sea under the ghost island, The most fragile is that it looks like it will soon be shattered, and a catastrophe is coming. Before they could warn the rest of the people, the azela floating in the sea had already begun to disintegrate.

Floating on the surface of the coral spiral sea, in the eyes of the sea for thousands of years immortal, all the vitality in the sea to maintain, now away from the ruins, and suffered several heavy blows one after another, full of scales of bark, and embedded in the arrow stone began to fall off and peel off, the body of the shark was impulsed by the waves, but also slowly detached from the tree, the broken half of the sacred tree drifted with the waves on the sea.

We saw that this thick natural "canoe" could not last long at sea before it was shattered by the ocean currents, but under the starry night sky, there was a vast endless sea water in all directions, and everyone was helpless.

I looked at the undulating turtles around me and was thinking hard about countermeasures, and suddenly saw a person on the back of the turtle not far away, the person was wearing a diving suit with a yellow "color" logo, which was quite eye-catching on the sea, and a long hair was scattered, it was Duo Ling who fell into the ruins, she lay on the back of the turtle motionless, and I didn't know whether it was dead or alive, the giant turtle floated with the current, and suddenly sank into the sea, and Duo Ling's body was immediately washed aside by the sea.

She may have fallen from the sacred tree and was not dead, with the egg people's skillful water "sex", in the "chaos" flow dragged the giant turtle that escaped from the ruins, so that she was able to return to the sea, and saw Duo Ling fall into the sea from the back of the turtle, is floating next to the tree, I didn't have time to think about it, quickly greeted Gu Chai, and jumped to the end of the wood in one step, grabbed a piece of arrow stone and jumped into the water, and pulled Duo Ling's hair, at this time Gu Chai and others had also arrived, and everyone held Duo Ling on the wood.

I grabbed the arrow stone and climbed up the tree, only to see Shirley Yang was trying his best to rescue, Duoling's face was like white paper, unconscious, but after rescue, he finally spit out a few mouthfuls of seawater, and had a trace of vitality.

A stone fell to the ground in my heart, and I looked at Gu Chai who was kowtowing to the east, as if to thank Ruan Hei for having a spirit in the sky and keeping Duoling alive, and as if he was worshipping the ancestor of the egg people, the fat man dragged him up: "Don't hit the wood with your head, why don't you kid think it sinks fast enough?" Thank God it's all nonsense, death does not belong to the proletariat, I fought in the mountains back then......"

In the sea, it is most taboo to mention words such as "turning, pouring, and sinking", and before the fat man's voice fell, he was held down by Uncle Ming: "Fat boy, everyone is going to be killed by you, don't bully the mountains and the water, dare to say this kind of taboo words!" ”

The fat man was furious, and was about to denounce the absurd views of Uncle Ming, an old reactionary academic authority, but at this time, everyone felt that their feet suddenly loosened, and for a while they all staggered and stood unsteadily, and the wooden body under their feet continued to crack and scatter, I screamed badly, just now I thought that this rotten wooden stake could at least float on the sea for an hour, but now it seems that it is about to break up.

At this time, the group of turtles has dived to the bottom of the sea and do not know where to go, the sea surface is empty "swing" "swing" nothing, a wave hits, this part of the "azalea wood" floating out of the sea was suddenly smashed, everyone has fallen into the water, had to grab the scattered wood, but there are a lot of sharks in the South China Sea, even if you are lucky not to encounter the evil shark, so immersed in the cold sea water, how long can it last?

I was carrying a heavy bronze mirror on my back, and even grabbed a few wooden boards, but they were all rotten and loose, difficult to bear, so I had to pull open the life-saving bolt on my shoulder, and a small life-saving air bag was immediately filled with gas, floating on the sea surface high and low, and it was when I was crying out for pain, I suddenly heard Shirley Yang greet me and said: "Old Hu, look, there is a boat!" ”

I thought I heard it wrong, how could there be a ship in the "Coral Spiral" area? But at this time, the fat man and others also shouted on the sea, as if everyone really found the ship, I fixed my eyes to see, but it was not a foreign ship, it turned out that the top of the "楥木", although there is no passage, but the interior has also been hollowed out, inside are some strange burial goods, after the wedgel wood is broken, it will be scattered and floated in the sea water, which actually hides a complete ancient ship, the bottom of the ship shallow mast is short, the hull is oval, it seems to be for the undead at the bottom of the sea, the preparation of the funeral goods, take our words, this ship is a "bright vessel".

In the surging waves, we couldn't see what was going on with the ship for a while, but at this time, there was finally a life-saving straw, not to mention that the boat was a "bright weapon", even if it was a ghost ship, it would only be said by climbing up first, lest if there was a slight hesitation, once the amplitude of the swell on the sea increased, everyone would be scattered by the waves in an instant.

I hurriedly shook my spirits, swam to the side of the boat, and when I got closer, I realized that the bottom of the boat was made of the bone armor of a giant tortoise, the size was almost one size larger than an ordinary lifeboat, and there was no problem with accommodating five or six people, there was only one shallow cabin in the boat that could not enter the people, which was filled with some burial goods such as coral, because it was for the dead, so there was no practical thing, the boat was made of whale skin as a sail, and the shark tendons were used as cables, compared to ordinary wooden boats, this almost fossilized tortoiseshell whalebone boat can last as new, It can still be used today, but this ancient ship is like a model that will be buried at the bottom of the sea if it encounters strong winds and waves.

But we can't take care of so much, helping each other to get on the "dead boat" one after another, lying on the tortoise shell and panting, no one has the strength to move again, now is not the wind season at sea, the sea gas condensed by the southern dragon in the eyes of the sea is gone, nine times out of ten it will not be as worried as when it came, as long as Mazu blesses no hurricane, we live on this lonely boat, at least for the time being, we don't have to worry about falling into the sea to feed the sharks.

Duo Ling in the boat is still unconscious, the rest of the people are a little tired, they are all tired and sleeping, even if the sky falls, I don't want to open my eyes, my two eyelids fight, and I also followed the "daze" for an hour or two, and my mind is still vaguely thinking about the details of "moving mountains and reclamation", thinking hard about how to use the magic of the mountain movers to sail this bone armor ship back to Coral Temple Island when there is no water and no food.

In the second half of the night, I was hungry, and I woke up to see that Shirley Yang had woken up at some point, leaning on the whalebone mast and staring at the starry sky, I also looked at the dense stars in the sky for a while, the experience of going to sea flashed in my mind one by one, and I couldn't help but say to Shirley Yang: "I also knew that the Coral Spiral Sea was unpredictable, but I still came with a hot head, and now I have fallen into such a situation, there is a boat full of priceless green heads, but I can't exchange it for a pot of water and half a piece of dry food, Looking back, we were probably crazy......"

Shirley Yang said: "You are a madman, I am a fool at most, I was tricked by you to go crazy with you." ”

I hurriedly explained: "I'm crazy that is also what makes Professor Chen chatter, I really admire the predecessors who spent their lives in ancient times to "touch" gold and move mountains, this kind of day I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and the days of homelessness everywhere are really not something that anyone can bear, how many brain cells have to die every day on this kind of day?" It's time for a few days to live a life of peace. ”

Shirley Yang sighed softly: "If you really have that kind of consciousness, it would be good, but the country is easy to change, the nature of the 'nature' is difficult to change, in your eyes, the scenery is always in the distance, there is no scenery in the near place, you can't be honest at home for a few days, but we are drifting on the sea this time, the sea is ruthless, but it is really not as good as the past, but God willing, don't let us be the Dutch flying in the sky." ”

"The Flying Dutchman" is synonymous with the "ghost ship", a legend that refers to the cursed to be forever adrift at sea and unable to dock, I have heard Shirley Young mention it before, and at this moment I can't help but feel a little chill down my spine at the thought of it, and hurriedly find a way to divert my attention and examine the green head fished out of the South China Sea.

In the past, he did the "'touching' Jin Xiaowei" who searched the mountains and cut Ze, and ten times he did not get as much as the harvest of being an egg farmer this time, and almost all of this little thing in the eyes of the South China Sea let us fish out, the most important of which is, of course, the "Qin King Bone Mirror", which belongs to the head of the Eight Mirrors of King Qin, if it can be handed over to Professor Chen, it can be regarded as a wish.

But this bronze mirror is heavy, I found it from the shipwreck, it has always been sealed in the bag and never seen again, then take it out casually, and Shirley Yang again together to look at it again, the moon hangs high on the sea, but in the moonlight, the ancient mirror has no luster, the mirror is worn very seriously, look at the fine seal carved and cut by the mirror body, extremely fine, the summer ware is plain and no lines, the Yin ware is simple and majestic, the wisps are like insects and fish swimming, but the carved seal of the "Qin King Bone Mirror" is like a tadpole forming a formation, like the ancient hexagram, It is estimated that it is a secret weapon cast in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

I am calling myself surprised, my eyes fell on the four-legged mermaid in the corner of the bronze mirror, but I was stunned on the spot as if I was sucked, the four-legged fish decorated with the mirror body, the shape is simple and expressive, but the fish eyes are empty, just like the bronze dragon talisman I found in the Hundred Eyes Cave more than ten years ago, the blind dragon talisman is also unknown which dynasty and which generation of antiquities handed down, was packed in the bronze coffin of Wong Tai Sin to make a Ming vessel, now carefully recalled, the dragon talisman and the fish ornaments on the bronze mirror, the age of the wind and bones, the size of the model, are extremely similar.

Chen blind, who lives as a fortune teller in Beijing, seems to know the mystery of this, but last time he was in a hurry, after I mentioned the blind dragon talisman, he only made a "four" gesture, and then his whereabouts are unknown, I have thought about it repeatedly, but I can't guess what the "four" is famous, and now I see the bronze mirror with an aimless four-legged fish as a decoration, and the heart is a cloud of fog, is "four" refers to four bronze ancient artifacts, the dragon and the fish are one of them, and the other two are what? What are these eyeless bronze beasts used for? What's the secret? The tadpole pattern on the "Qin King's Bone Mirror" seems to have hidden hexagrams, perhaps these mysterious bronze dragons and copper fish without eyes are related to the all-day hexagram in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Sixteen characters of the whole day hexagram, which contains infinite numbers, can be deduced into a variety of hexagrams, hexagrams need to be interpreted with hexagrams, these are for my half-hung level, it is really difficult to ascend to the sky, but the ancient ancestors of the Tan people passed down from generation to generation, the most primitive Western Zhou Dynasty hexagram number formula, although the formula is not complicated, but the content is more profound than the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" author descendant Zhang Yingchuan studied, but the Tan people have always regarded these hexagrams as a spell to protect themselves at the bottom of the sea, and do not seem to know its origin.

Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at the sleeping Gu Chai and thought that it would be better to wait for him to wake up and ask him about King Qin's bone mirror, maybe he would know the mystery in the blind copper beast.

I was thinking about the boat in a hurry, when the fat man and Uncle Ming also woke up hungry one after another, the wind and tide on the sea were calm, and I don't know where the broken boat had drifted now, and everyone moistened their throats with the last few drops of water in the kettle, and discussed how to catch a few of them and eat them raw to satisfy their hunger if there was a flying fish passing by the side of the boat for a while.

I also felt hungry, so I first reinstalled the bone mirror of King Qin, and said to everyone: "Revolution is to invite guests to eat, if you don't fill your stomach, you have no strength to do anything, you must have an attitude and appetite like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves when you eat and drink, and you can't be sloppy, so we have to think about it quickly......"

Uncle Ming said that there are flying fish in the South China Sea, often in groups across the waves on the surface of the sea, the sky is bright, as long as the pearl is used as a guide, you can attract the winged flying fish to pass by the side of the boat, but it is still the middle of the night, we have been waiting at the bow for a long time and have not seen any fish out of the water.

When we turned around, we saw Shirley Yang checking on Duo Ling, who was unconscious, and there was no medical treatment or medicine in the vast sea, if she kept being in a coma, I am afraid that her life would be in danger, and the situation was not optimistic.

Shirley Yang found that her condition had deteriorated, and asked me to help check Duoling's pulse, but as soon as I touched Duoling's wrist, I felt that she was hiding something under her sleeve, and it seemed that she was wearing a watch, I thought it was a diving watch, so I wanted to take it off for her, but unexpectedly, what Duoling was wearing on her wrist was the diamond-encrusted gold watch that the fat man took off from the arm of the dead man in the sunken ship, and the fat man wanted to take the watch back, but the gold watch was deeply embedded in the flesh on Duoling's wrist, and it could only be pulled out with a knife.

I looked at the gold watch and said, "This gold watch...... Why did you run to her? "When we were suspicious, we suddenly heard a fishy smell in the sea breeze, and we had dealt with dead bodies many times, and we felt that it was a corpse smell, but there were no rotting corpses on the ship, so we couldn't help but feel strange.

Uncle Ming is an ancient corpse that has been poured for more than ten years, and when he smells it, he knows that it is definitely a corpse smell, and everyone sniffs each other for a long time before they are sure that the corpse smell is coming from Duo Ling's body, and after careful inspection, it is found that there is indeed a less obvious corpse on her body, and there are a few drops of fishy corpse oil flowing out of her mouth and nose, I have long felt that the Mary Xiannu shipwreck is haunted, and the captain's gold watch may have a big problem.

Uncle Ming exclaimed: "Oh no, the gold watch was fished out of the sunken ship, and I am afraid that it was lowered by the evil art of lowering the head of the South Seas, what is the use of just throwing the gold watch away?" Now that the head has descended on her, the smell of corpses on her body is worse than that of infectious diseases, if you don't throw Ah Ling into the sea to feed the fish, none of us in this boat will want to live. ”

Uncle Ming had been "wandering" in Nanyang for a long time, and when he saw the smell of corpses in the gold watch, he thought that he had been lowered by someone, "Descending, Gu, and Rattyl Techniques are strange poisons made with various unbelievable methods; The principle of Gu art is inseparable from the word "confusion", which is to raise poisonous insects and release Gu to make people "lost" and lose their minds; The head-lowering technique is a demonic technique that uses charms, corpses, and ghosts as a medium to harm people, and the derived "corpses and ghosts" can quickly cause the death of a large number of people and animals like an infectious disease, which is more than the plague and is the most difficult to fathom.
