Chapter 43: Into the Water

There are a lot of small islands in the South China Sea Islands, because of the frequent boats in the past, so some of the islands have started business, we don't have to worry about buying food and wine on the islands, we have already brought some, and now we have a lot of supplies, enough for us to consume for half a month. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After a noon rest on the supply island, we continued our voyage with the goal of reaching the next resting point before the sun set.

Just stopped and lined, we kept sailing on the sea, and finally in the afternoon of the third day, we arrived at the sea area where the ship had an accident, but where it was, I can't find out exactly, looking at this vast sea, You Eighteen and I looked at each other, remembering the shipwreck, as if the huge waves are still vivid, I sighed that the fate was great, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to escape death in the devil's minions.

I asked Zhang Dongzi if he could think of anything here, Zhang Dongzi looked at the quiet sea, tried to remember, and finally shook his head, it seems, he still can't think about what happened.

We discussed, now we should go into the water to find a clue, fortunately we brought more equipment, diving suits, oxygen tubes, and headband diver lights, because my water nature and cattle are really the best, originally decided that the two of us went into the water, but the old cat shouted to go down together to see what it was, I pondered it, after all, the old cat knows more, if you encounter any trouble, you can help solve it.

Before going into the water, the old cat said, the sea explorers pay attention to the number of etiquette, all have to count one, two, three out, before going to the sea to worship the god of the sea, in order to keep safe, after entering the sea to slip and dive, going against the current will destroy the order of the god of the sea and cause the sea rage, the third is not to take too much sea resources, the sea is a personal belongings belonging to the god of the sea, take a little called borrowing, over-mining is called stealing.

Obedience to nature, and we are all children of the sea, so after entering the sea, it is like going home, as long as we love the sea and live in accordance with the sea, the sea god will bless us, and now the human beings are overexploiting the land, and they cannot satisfy them, and they have now stretched out their claws to the sea, if they are not controlled, then the sea god will punish human beings.

The old cat took out a glass bottle from his backpack in style, and it was a red liquid, and when I looked closely, it was blood.

The old cat said, "This is not ordinary blood, this is the blood of virgins, and it is very precious." ”

Why do you bring this thing, the old cat explained that this is handed down by the old people in the family, in the past, the fishermen on the seaside in order to keep safe, will send some young women as sacrifices to the deep sea into the sea, and then they will get a few years of good weather, in fact, this is wrong, legend, the sea god does like women, but it likes not the flesh of women, but the blood of women's virgins.

The old cat also said that the ancient people often said that women are filthy, can not touch the sea, if brought on the boat will suffer bad luck, in fact, the woman referred to is not a virgin, and in the past, when going out to sea, will use a virgin as a sacrifice, as long as the storm hits, will kill the woman and throw it into the sea, this method is extremely cruel, and then gradually evolved, the ancestors found that the blood of the virgin can actually replace the virgin.

Originally, I was shocked to think that this old cat could not be the virgin blood obtained by killing someone, but the old cat saw my concern and explained: "Don't worry, in our Blue Market of Sea Explorers, there will be these things for sale, all through normal channels, and these blood are also donated by virgins." ”

The old cat pinched the bottle containing the virgin blood with his fingers, shook it in front of his eyes, and his mouth was still vibrating like a mantra and did not know what bird language was being spoken, maybe it was a ritual, and after he finished speaking, he opened the bottle cap and dropped a drop to the sea, I was shocked and stunned to see it, feelings, this bottle of virgin blood only needs one drop is enough.

Wait for the old cat to finish the preparations, we changed into diving suits, I walked to the side of the boat, a poured into the water posture plopped into the sea, at first into the sea I have a special affinity feeling, before the two of them into the water, I took the lead in diving, the South China Sea is a deep sea, the average depth of the sea is more than a thousand meters, we are not deep in this sea area, belongs to the Zhongsha Islands sea area, there are a large number of reefs on the seabed nearby, with the knowledge learned in the army, I think it should not be too deep here, but there will still be dozens of meters.

The water pressure of the sea is different from that on land, I just dived down about ten meters and had a painful eardrum, which should be the reason why I haven't been in the water for some years, the technology of diving needs professionals to carry out, and the general non-professional people dive at most about ten meters, and then dive, there will be a danger to life is not a non-professional thing, and the world's top professional divers are said to have dived to more than 300 meters, and this limit is still being broken, but, There are also some professional divers who have dived to a depth of two or three hundred meters.

I'm a lot better, after all, I have received professional technical guidance in the army, plus our diving suit is of better quality, has the ability to resist pressure, and Niu is really an old fisherman who often goes into the water, I just don't know how the old cat is, I turned to look at him, I didn't expect him to be able to keep up with me, underwater communication is more troublesome, but he understood my intentions, and gave me a thumbs up to indicate that it is no problem, maybe because he is a sea explorer who often goes into the water, so this deep dive is nothing, I'm relieved.

The further down, the greater the water pressure, the slower we swam in, I could feel the oppression of the sea around me, and the sight became darker and darker, about forty or fifty meters down, I turned on the diving lamp above my head, illuminating everything in this underwater world, the top of my head was a blue light, the bottom of the sea was like land, there were mountains, plains, and deep ravines and canyons in the bottom of the sea, some canyons may be very shallow, some are really unfathomable, I dare not rush to explore.

At this time, the old cat swam to my side, waved his hand to me, should be calling me, I looked at him, and then he pointed in the other direction, I looked in the direction he pointed, there was a shipwreck, the old cat waved his hand to me again, meaning to ask me if I want to go over and see, I nodded, and then waved to the cow behind me, signaling him to go to the wreck together.

We swam slowly to the wreck, and when we got closer, we realized that it was a wooden ship, which looked at least ten meters long, and it should have been a little old, and the hull had been soaked in the sea and rotted, and the old cat poked the wood with his hand on the handrail of the deck, and then put up four fingers at me, and made two circles, I think he should have said that the ship had been sinking for at least four hundred years.
