Chapter 26: The Crystal Ball

Yang stopped her vomiting, and she said, "Old Hu, go and see if there is anyone else on the boat." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I reacted momentarily and rushed out the door, if the boat boss died, then it would be difficult for anyone else to live. I stepped into the cockpit in three steps and two steps, only to see the captain turning the rudder with a serious face. I couldn't believe it, so I tiptoed over and looked him up and down. When the boat boss saw me looking at him like this, he was a little suspicious for a while, he looked at me very puzzled, and said, Mr. Hu, is there something wrong? I said, no, no, just come over and yo-yo. He still looked at me suspiciously, and still said puzzledly, Mr. Hu is really fine. I said, no, no, how can there be anything, just talk to the boss about it. As I spoke, I pulled out a cigarette and handed him one. I said, the other brothers are all right. The captain of the ship still looked at me puzzled, and he said, "Okay, they're busy on the ship."

I was relieved for a moment, and I said, "You don't find anything." The boat boss shook his head and said, no. I asked again, "Kojima, is it still far away?" The captain of the boat looked calm, and he said that if nothing else, he would be able to go over after two more days. I said, "Is there enough supply on board?" The captain of the boat was a little surprised for a while, and he said, Mr. Hu, what's wrong, what's the trouble. I said, no, just ask. The boat boss said, enough, well prepared, Mr. Wang has specially thought about this, if there is any accident, we can send an urgent message. To tell you the truth, behind us, every few hundred kilometers, there is a spare ship, and there will even be helicopters patrolling the sea, and in case of accidents, they will quickly catch up. Hearing him say this, my nervous heart slowly relaxed. I said, oh, Mr. Wang is very serious and thoughtful. The boss of the ship said that he has been fluttering at sea all the year round, and there is no set of emergency measures, so how can he mix.

I said, "At sea, there are no other ships besides our ship." The boss of the ship said that in this sea area, relatively speaking, there are fewer ships, and we are on a special mission. I said, as if there was a dinghy ahead. Hearing me say this, the captain of the ship picked up the telescope and stood on the observation platform to observe it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he looked at me suspiciously and said, Mr. Hu saw it. I said, no, no, no. He said, I have been looking at it for a long time, but I haven't found such a small boat, or Mr. Hu will come and take a look. As he spoke, he handed me the telescope. I pretended to hold up the telescope, put it in front of my eyes, and took a closer look at the sea level. But to my surprise, I saw a dinghy in the field of view of the lens tube. Could it be that the boss is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and there is obviously a small boat, but he is stunned and says that he didn't see it.

Even, I was a little skeptical that he was a person, and there was something wrong with him, but I didn't dare to say this, so I could only ask tentatively, just now, there seemed to be a light in the sky. He turned his head and stared at me for a long time, and then, without saying a word, went back to turn his rudder, and he threw aside the cigarette I gave him. I saw that he was a little wary of me, so I pointed to the front, and I said, "Boss, the waves ahead seem to be a little big." The boss followed my finger and looked at it for a long time, and he said that the place seemed to be a reef. As he spoke, he slowed down and turned the rudder quickly. As he turned, he muttered to himself in surprise, strange, I looked so closely just now, why didn't I find a reef. As he turned around, he kept glancing at me, thinking I was a monster.

Seeing him like this, I also opened the drum in my heart, things are a little weird, how could I encounter such a strange thing. The boat boss is still not a living person, is it true that he didn't see the dinghy, and the reef he is talking about, is that really the case? I couldn't say this, I could only muttered in my heart. But I didn't doubt my judgment, and I said, "Boss, bring me the telescope again and let me see it." The boss handed the telescope to me, and I held it up and looked at it carefully, and in front of me, sure enough, there was a reef. I fell silent for a moment, and it was incredible. This ship boss is really a weirdo. At this moment, Yang and the others also rushed in, rushing in, and shouting, Lao Hu, Lao Hu, are you okay.

The captain of the boat looked at the four of us very strangely, he looked a little puzzled, he didn't know what happened to the four of us, but he seemed a little dazed. I said, Boss, have you ever seen this reef before? The boat boss said, don't hide it from Mr. Hu, for the sake of the ancient tomb, Mr. Wang has let us walk on this line countless times, you can say, I know everything on this line. Before, there was no such reef in this place. I'm a little weird, I said, well, in the Boss's experience, how did it get here. The captain of the ship said that there are some reefs, which are also moving with the earth's crust. Once the movement reaches a certain level, it will surface. I heard him make a lot of sense, and I still know a little bit about geography. I said, well, this seabed, the earth's crust is always moving.

I don't know if the boat boss is inactive, but the appearance of the reef is like this. I hummed, and then I asked him a little bit, will Wang Zhengqing tell him the news that there is an ancient tomb here. I looked at him suspiciously for a long time, still speechless, and when the boat boss saw my hesitation, he said, Mr. Hu, don't worry, that ancient book was found by me, so I gave it to Mr. Wang. When he said this, I became even more interested in him, and I asked hesitantly, how did you find the ancient texts you found? The captain of the ship was silent, and he said that this matter was also a secret. As it happens, because I have a penchant for collecting antiques, I often go to the auction market, and it was in a very casual situation that I bought this ancient book. Hearing him say this dispelled my suspicions.

The captain looked at me for a long time, and he said, Mr. Hu, didn't you feel some strange reactions after you got the ancient loan? I said, what a reaction. The captain of the boat was hesitant, he said, there are many dreams, and there are always some strange scenes in the dreams. It dawned on me. This guy was disturbed by this ancient book, so he gave it to Wang Zhengqing. But he obviously didn't give it to Wang Zhengqing for free, but had some transactions in private, and it was obvious that he might get some of the antiques poured out of the ancient tomb. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a thing so actively. I didn't want to answer him, but asked, what have you dreamed of, he said, sunken coffins, and some terracotta figurines, but they look like ancient soldiers, and even come alive. Hearing him say this, I gasped again.

Things have become complicated, in the face of the ancient tomb of the powerful Emperor of the Ages, it seems unrealistic for us to want to pour it smoothly, there must be some twists and turns, but what will be these twists and turns. I stared into the eyes of the boat boss, and suddenly, I felt as if he was hiding something, such as this ancient book. I tried to trick him, so I said, as far as I know, there are some things that exist with this ancient book, and it will not exist alone. Hearing me say this, the ship's boss's expression was a little strange. He said that this ancient book, indeed, was not stored separately, and that it also had a box. Listening to him say this, I was a little overjoyed that this guy finally told the truth. I asked, what kind of box it was. The captain of the boat said that it was a crystal ball-like thing, black, but when a person touched it, it became transparent, and even some images would appear in it.

I was even more curious for a while, there is such a story in this ancient book. I said, then you gave this crystal ball to Mr. Wang. The boat boss shook his head and said, no, I left it behind. I said, where did you put it? But the captain of the boat looked depressed, and he said, I locked it in the safe, I went out to sea once, but when I came back from the sea and opened the safe again, there was no crystal ball in it. I was speechless for a moment, and I couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or making up a story with me. People who are mixed with the rivers and lakes only talk about three points when they see people, and they generally don't tell all the news. The fat man's temperament was a little anxious, he said what I was embarrassed to say, he said straight buckets, he said, boat boss, don't fool us, we are not three-year-old children, let you be bullied.

The captain of the ship was obviously frightened, he shuddered for a moment, and said, the crystal ball is gone, but there is a skeleton. I broke out in a cold sweat at what he said, good fellow, just like we just saw. I shivered violently, and fine beads of sweat immediately oozed from my forehead. This story is indeed a bit scary, and anyone who hears this story will be frightened to a certain extent. I saw the boss of the boat trembling with his hands, and the rudder was obviously unstable. Yang took his helm and said to him, "Tell me, I'll take the helm." The captain of the boat removed the rudder, and he said that the skull could speak, and the voice was like that of a baby, and that it could be heard, and that it was like an owl calling. When the captain of the boat said this, we all became trembling for a while, and when we heard a meow, a black shadow fell to the ground. A few of us jumped up in fright, but when we looked closely, it was a Persian cat that sprang out of the cabin. I said, how can there be a cat in the cabin. Boat boss, did you raise it? The captain shook his head vigorously.
