By means of an astrolabe and an entangor, plus a compass, these three combinations are the most basic nautical instruments. But it seems that God is deliberately joking with them, and tonight there are thick clouds over the sea, and there is no starlight, so all that can be used now is the compass.

Wang Ling and Sha Kun were in control of the course in the cabin, Lao Pi and the poet went to the deck to help, Li Xin leaned alone on the corner of the deck and drank stuffy wine, everyone performed their duties but did not speak, a boat of nine people was silent and could only hear the sound of "booming" seawater.

I didn't expect the silence to be broken by an oncoming ship.

The "Undead" is equipped with a searchlight, although it uses the ancient sail power, but in the fishing village, Sha Kun and others still installed a spotlight on it. Tonight's night was extremely dark, and after a long time, Wang Ling found that something was wrong, there seemed to be a big mountain in front of him, and when he found this "mountain", the position of the bow of the ship was only a few tens of meters away from the visual inspection, and this distance was extremely dangerous for the ship!

"Left full rudder! There are mountains ahead! Wang Ling roared, it was about the daytime, everyone was a little absent-minded, even the experienced Sha Kun didn't expect to encounter such danger. This roar was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and suddenly a spirit made Sha Kun grab the rudder and desperately hit the direction. At the same time, Wang Ling rushed out with an arrow and waved at Lao Pi and shouted, "Lower the sail!" ”

At that time, the sailing speed of the ship was about thirteen or fourteen knots, which was considered a normal cruising speed, for the sake of safety, the sails were not all raised, after hearing Wang Ling's warning, the three brothers and Lao Pi quickly began to get busy, and at this time the deck gradually became a little angry.

"How can there be mountains here?" Li Xin couldn't believe it, but Wang Ling ignored him, and instead plunged into the cabin, where Sha Kun was holding the rudder deadly. The undead lost its power and slowly lowered its speed, and at the same time, under the light of the poet's guidance, the "mountain" began to get closer and closer to them, and when the distance between them was less than ten meters, a black "stick" was gradually revealed, and the "mountain" behind it also began to slowly reveal the true face of Lushan, where is this "mountain", this is clearly a ship, a huge "ship"!

The people huddled in the cockpit all gasped, and under the slow illumination of the lights, the outline of the ship could be vaguely recognized, and the height of the bow of the ship alone was close to thirty meters, which was not detected in time but hit it head-on, and it was estimated that the "Undead" would have to sink into the sea!

"I'm good," said Old Skin, touching his chest, "This fucking big guy, but what dog doesn't turn on the lights when he runs a boat at night?" ”

"Shh," Wang Ling motioned for him to be quiet, and several people walked to the side of the boat, at this time the closest distance between the two boats could be touched with their hands, Wang Ling frowned and said, "How is it a wooden boat?" ”

"You don't care if it's wood or iron, and you almost gave him his life!" Lao Pi casually found a shovel, and at that time he walked over and stabbed it with a shovel on the hull of the ship, only to hear a muffled sound of "dong", "It's quite strong!" ”

"Bacheng is a ghost ship," Li Xin also walked out, her face also had a trace of doubt, turned her head to look at Sha Kun and said, "This size of a ship, can you see what kind of way it is?" ”

"I haven't seen it," Sha Kun shook his head and said, "From here, the hull is estimated to be more than a hundred meters, I guess, this may be the warship of the Europeans a hundred years ago, you see the dense masts and the cannon muzzles exposed on the side of the ship, which are distributed in two layers." Under the guidance of the light, I saw that the top of the ship was exposed by rows of erected poles, but the sails hanging from the poles had long since been destroyed, and occasionally one or two pieces of debris could be seen stuck in the wood.

"What is a ghost ship?" Lao Pi was curious: "Is it a boat driven by a ghost?" ”

"The ghost ship is an ownerless ship, for some reason, they are abandoned on the sea and drift away," Sha Kun explained, "but what kind of wood can be soaked in the sea for hundreds of years without rotting, this ship is really unusual." I saw that there was a grid-like hemp knot hanging on the hull of the boat, which was the thickness of a rolling pin, Sha Kun dragged it casually and it was quite strong, and after looking at it twice, he was about to retreat, when the poet's light suddenly swept to the bow of the ship, only to see a flash of fine light, this subtle thing was seen by Li Xin!

"Wait!" Li Xin raised his hand and said, "Return the light!" ”

"All right," said the poet, as the lights began to sweep back and forth on the hull of the ship as he scrambled, but nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen.

"The position of the bow of the ship!" She reminded the poet to do so, but it was still nothing, except for the black hull. "Hey, forget it, let's go," Lao Pi waved his hand, "This kind of thing is just like the vacant old houses in our countryside, it's better to go shopping less, this kind of place is easy to attract dirty things." ”

At this moment, the hull of the ship was a little too high due to the shaking of the water, and with this sway, the subtle flash of light appeared again! Li Xin and Wang Ling discovered almost at the same time, it turned out that their boat was too low, and the reflective thing was located on the upper side of the ship, and they were on the side of the big ship at this time, looking up, and the light of the light would be blocked by the side of the big ship.

"This is it, don't move!"

The poet who heard the command immediately maintained this position, and all eyes were on the illuminating point, and as the hull of the ship rose and fell, and sure enough, the flash began to flicker. But the few of them didn't know what this reflection meant, but Li Xin and Sha Kun gradually showed excited expressions on their faces.

Sha Kun glanced at Li Xin, the latter nodded to him slightly, the man actually grabbed the boarding net and pounced, only to see that he had a flashlight in his mouth and began to climb up, Lao Pi was puzzled: "What does he want to do?" ”

"It's a pirate ship!" Li Xin finally showed a smile, she pointed to the place where Fang Cai was reflected, and said, "If I guessed correctly, this boat once belonged to Wang Zhi!" ”

"What?"

She looked at Sha Kun's upward steps with some smugness and said, "I'll see you soon!" ”

After a while, Kung Fu Sha Kun climbed up, he turned sideways and went inside, and after a while, he saw the kid very excitedly shouting from the side of the boat to the bottom: "Find, find it!" As he spoke, even his voice trembled.

As soon as the voice fell, a figure here jumped over and rushed straight to the hull of the boat, and then looked, in the blink of an eye, the person "rubbed" and climbed up, judging from the back, this is not Zheng Jiuwu, who else will it be?

"Aren't you going up?" Li Xin glanced at Wang Ling and said, "This is most likely the warship that your ancestors once used. ”

"I'm not interested," Wang Ling turned around and was about to go back to the cabin, but Lao Pi was interested, he patted Wang Ling's arm and said: "Fourth brother, is this an ancient ship of the Ming Dynasty, or a pirate leader's ship, maybe the cabin is full of treasures?" ”

"I just want to go home."

"Then you wait for me," Lao Pi patted the net and said, "You have to earn some money to go home, don't you, besides, don't they all say that this boat belongs to Wang Zhi?" If Wang Zhi is really the ancestor of your family, even if this is the wealth of your old Wang family, you can't let outsiders get it for nothing, right? ”

When he said this, Lao Pi subconsciously glanced at Li Xin, and the meaning of this was clearly that the three of them had been removed from the team, but the woman didn't say anything.

The poet also tapped on the side and said: "That's it, fourth brother, no matter how bad it is, this is also something left by the ancestors, take it back and dedicate it to the country, maybe there will be a reward!" ”

"Are you really not going?" Li Xin asked, "Don't go!" After that, Wang Ling returned to the cabin and sat on the ground, and he looked at the people on the side of the ship: "I won't stop you if you want to go, hurry up, I want to hurry." ”

"Okay, Ah Da is ready to anchor," Li Xin said to the three brothers: "The second and third follow me up!" ”

With a "bang", the anchor was immediately thrown into the water, and Li Xin also climbed up along the net. "Fourth brother, then shall I go up and take a look?" Lao Pi's heart itched so badly that seeing that Wang Ling didn't speak, he added: "Anyway, the plague god is here, and we are waiting here, so I'll go up and see what the ghost ship looks like and come down immediately." ”

"I said, I won't stop you, you can go if you want......" Wang Ling lowered his head, now, he no longer wanted to make any decisions for others, his mind was empty, the ghost ship, how could he not be a ghost floating on the sea?
