Chapter 886: The Legend of the Ghost Ship
"I thought too much about things last night and didn't sleep well. Li Sichen yawned and replied.
"Thinking about the shipwreck in the sea?" Lin Duxue brought out a bowl of steaming and fragrant eight-treasure porridge from the kitchen, and said to Li Sichen: "Come, finish eating the porridge." If you don't sleep well, you have to rely on a nutritious breakfast to replenish your energy. ”
When Li Sichen walked to the dining table and sat down and was about to eat breakfast, Lin Duxue returned to her room, took out a piece of information, and put it in front of Li Sichen: "This is for you." ”
"What is this?" Li Sichen raised his head and asked curiously while eating the delicious eight-treasure porridge with a small spoon.
Lin Duxue replied: "After seeing the wreck last night, I was thinking, since you are going to find out the secret of this wreck, then figuring out its origin may be able to add some help to your operation." So I asked people to help me overnight, contacted a few scholars who have studied the history of navigation in our country, and asked them to help analyze various sources overnight. Eventually, the identity of the wreck and its legends in the East China Sea were speculated. ”
Li Sichen was stunned for a moment, and then he was full of emotion.
Just now, when Lin Duxue explained this information to him, she yawned several times. From this, it can be seen that she should not have rested well last night, and she was worried about her going to sea.
"Thank you!" Li Sichen looked at Lin Duxue and said solemnly.
Lin Duxue was very embarrassed by him, her pretty face turned red, but she pretended to be calm, and after coughing, she said, "Thank you, hurry up and drink porridge, and read the information after drinking." I don't know if this thing will be useful to you. ”
"Good. Li Sichen nodded in agreement, but instead of gobbling it up, he drank the porridge slowly.
Lin Duxue didn't rest well all night, and got up early to make breakfast for him, no matter what, he couldn't live up to Lin Duxue's kindness by swallowing dates. Besides, eating breakfast slower can not only better taste the taste, but also nourish and warm the spleen and stomach.
Ten minutes later, Li Sichen finished breakfast, opened the file bag, and took out the materials inside.
After reading it, Li Sichen finally understood what Lin Duxue just said, about the various legends about this shipwreck in the East China Sea, what is going on.
According to the information above this information, experts deduced that this shipwreck should be a product of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
Because in the various historical books, local chronicles and other materials of the past dynasties, there is only a record of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, saying that there was a ship that set sail from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, and finally sank in the East China Sea. The direction of its sinking is near the latitude and longitude given by Li Sichen.
When the ship sank, there were several fishing boats nearby, and the fishermen originally planned to save people, but they were surprised to find that the people on the shipwreck did not seem to have any intention of abandoning the ship and fleeing for their lives, but instead tidied up their clothes, sat upright on the deck, burned incense and played the piano, as if they were welcoming some kind of sacred and mysterious ceremony!
In the end, the ship sank into the sea completely, and all the people on board were in the water. But the strange thing is that there were dozens of people on the ship, to say the least, and most of them were above deck, but after the water sank, not a single person's body floated.
This bizarre phenomenon shocked and frightened the fishermen, and they hurriedly went ashore to report the matter to the local government. The government immediately invited a mage to go to sea to surpass the undead on the wreck, and recorded this incident in the local annals, which has been passed down.
Before that, although many people had seen this story recorded in this local chronicle, they all regarded it as a folklore and did not take it seriously. After all, in the local chronicles, there are countless stories of gods and monsters, and this story is also full of mysteries. Coupled with the fact that finding a shipwreck at sea is not an easy task. Therefore, after such a thousand years, no one has salvaged this wreck.
As for the various legends of this ship in the East China Sea, it is said that there have always been legends of ghost ships in the East China Sea. People who go to sea often see a very eerie looking ancient ship full of seaweed, barnacles and coral reefs in the windy and rough weather.
On the deck of the ship stood many ragged men, also covered with seaweed and barnacles. They played carols on deck, like living people but very different from them!
Of course, the people who collected these legends were not sure that the ghost ship mentioned in the legend had something to do with the shipwreck that Li Sichen was going to. But he still collected these legends, and as for the judgment, it was up to Li Sichen to do it himself.
After reading these materials, Li Sichen frowned slightly, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.
"Five dynasties and ten kingdoms......? Isn't Wang Jian, the former emperor of Shu, also a native of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period? Will this ship, which went to sea from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have any concern for him? After all, it is not impossible for the former Shu Emperor to go to sea along the Yangtze River and then go all the way north!"
According to the information, when the ship sank, the people on board did not panic, let alone call for help or escape, but dressed properly, burned incense and played music on the ship, and carried out a ceremony...... In this way, the sinking of the ship should not have been an accident, but a deliberate act by this group of people! But why did they let the ship sink? Did they just want to die? What was the ritual they did? Does it have anything to do with them turning into zombies?
"When the corpses sank into the water, none of them floated up, and that was because the bodies of these people were full of anger, evil spirit, and resentment! In other words, this group of people is probably not simple, and nine times out of ten, they are a group of feng shui masters, and they are also feng shui masters who practice evil arts! What is the reason why a group of feng shui masters are willing to give up their lives and sink into the sea? Does it have anything to do with the immortality pursued by Zhao Songlong, Xia Yang, and others?
"The legend of the ghost ship, I'm afraid it's true. So, what did a ship that sank in the sea more than 300 meters come to the surface? What is the purpose of its emergence? What kind of rituals do those who have turned into zombies perform?"
Li Sichen suddenly discovered that there were far more secrets about this shipwreck in the East China Sea than he imagined.
