Chapter Twenty-Seven: Into the Sea

"In any case, at least we will not have a problem with the funds to go to sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "Lao Jiang walked over, leaned on the bow of the boat, and lit a cigarette. Spit smoke rings at the oncoming sea breeze.

From just now, the poker face looked worriedly at the sea and sky in the distance.

"It's been a nice day." The smoke spit out of Lao Jiang's mouth dissipated into the air in an instant. Lao Jiang looked at the poker face's line of sight, and saw that there was no cloud in the sky at all, the sea was unusually calm, and the sea and sky were all transparent blue. The ship sailed on the sea, as if sailing in the blue jade.

"Do you think it's weird?" Poker Face said. "I've never seen such a quiet sea."

Lao Jiang enjoyed it very much, "I really don't care if there is a problem with this sea, such good weather, there is no clutter and affairs, and you can enjoy the sun on the deck." ”

"You'll enjoy it." Ah Shen's voice came from the cockpit, he had always been dissatisfied with Lao Jiang's attitude, and this time he finally caught the opportunity to complain about Lao Jiang, "No matter how you say it, you are also the leader of a gang, how can you stand such a hard time going to sea with fragrant food and spicy food." I think that when you arrive at the destination, you can still bask in the sea breeze on the boat, which is more suitable for you. ”

Yu Yue had been standing beside Ah Shen, listening to Ah Shen's direct words, frowning and stabbing him with her elbow.

Lao Jiang didn't care at all, and rolled his eyes towards the sky, "We are recuperating and waiting to go to the submarine tomb for a while, and some people who don't need to go to the tomb just wait for the sea breeze to bask in the sun." ”

"You!" Ah Shen was furious, clenched his fists tightly, and the way Lao Jiang leisurely fought back at him made his teeth itch with hatred. Yu Yue took Ah Shen's hand and shook her head gently at him.

After a week, Shen has barely learned to swim, and now he can hold his breath underwater for a minute, which is some distance away from diving, but it is already a huge improvement.

"You guys, let me go to the sea later, and I'll stay on it with Mayisha to help you look after the boat. Isn't it, Maisha? Zhuo Fan packed the things they needed into four waterproof backpacks, and said loudly in his throat, and looked at Mayisha who was squatting across from him.

Mayisha and Zhuo Fan are not very good at water, and they are completely rushing to get the news of the submarine tomb in the first place. So the two were very willing to help them out.

Lao Jiang and Poker Face sat facing each other, their eyes projected into a place that could not be seen clearly in the distance. Lao Jiang asked, "Why are you sure that this submarine tomb is the one we went to together before?" Of course, Lao Jiang knew that geographically speaking, the tomb they went down to was at the junction of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. There is also a legend that it is a box of 100 ghosts. Thinking of this, Lao Jiang added, "In the end, what is the box of a hundred ghosts?" ”

Lao Jiang asked this question, and the first people who came together were Zhuo Fan and Ma Yisha. They care more about family secrets than anyone else. If it weren't for Lao Jiang's question, they would also know nothing about the box of the hundred ghosts.

"The Ghost of the Spirit, the legendary ghost. Some foreign scholars also call the box of a hundred ghosts a box of dragons, which means that there are ghosts and monsters in this place. Pokerface looked to the deck, as if thinking about something, he said, "In recent years, more and more scholars have refuted this theory, believing that the so-called box of a hundred ghosts is just a deliberate fabrication by the predecessors in order to warn some Tufuzi. I don't know. ”

"Doesn't it mean that the boxes of the hundred ghosts all have certain characteristics? Otherwise, how can you tell the difference between a hundred ghost boxes and an ordinary cemetery? Lao Jiang asked again, he had a lot of questions about the box of the hundred ghosts.

"It is said that this is the case, but no one knows about this characteristic. Because there are too many legends of the Hundred Ghost Box, and some people have placed the Hundred Ghost Box, but what I know is that after many people get off one of them, they no longer dare to look for the other, and they must warn others not to go down. The most serious is Zhao Changsheng, one of the best Tufuzi in Changsha, who is no longer alive, but fortunately, I have read his diary, one of which records that he once went down to a tomb, and after coming up from the tomb, he washed his hands in a golden basin, and committed suicide in his own home soon after. ”

"Why?!" Mayisa covered her mouth and exclaimed, she wasn't very worried about this group of people who were about to go to the grave before, but after Poker Face said this, she actually retreated a little.

"The diary doesn't detail what happened at the grave and the reason for the suicide, but there is one sentence in which he writes: 'I've never been so scared of myself as I am now.'" ”

"I've never been so scared of myself as I am now......," Zhuo Fan repeated, looking up at his poker face and asking, "What does this mean?" ”

Pokerface shook his head, "Unless you go to that tomb, no one knows what happened to him in the tomb." ”

"Is that tomb one of the boxes of the Hundred Ghosts?"

"That's what the diary says."

Mayisha suddenly felt a gust of sea breeze blowing, and she trembled, "Then will it be dangerous for you to go down this time?" ”

Lao Jiang and Poker looked at each other, and Lao Jiang faced Ma Yisha and said firmly. "Whether there is danger or not, we must go down this tomb."

Maisha looked worried and hesitated for a moment, as if she had finally made up her mind, and asked, "I wanted to ask when I was at Pokerface's house." Zhuo Fan and I have a family mission, and we hope to find out what this secret is, so we want to go down to this tomb......" Mayisha's clear eyes couldn't hide her worry, "What about you?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Yu Yue and Ah Shen happened to come out of the cockpit, sensing the slightly strange atmosphere between the four of them, and asked directly.

Mayisha glanced back at Yu Yue, "And you, why do you want to go down to this tomb?" Mayisha frowned, and her eager gaze made Yu Yue not know whether to avoid it or not.

Yu Yue looked at Ah Shen, and immediately became puzzled, and said hesitantly, "I want to go down this tomb because you want to go down to ...... Why are you going down? ”

Ah Shen stood up, without the support of reason, and his actions became meaningless, "I am...... I'm because ......" Ah Shen didn't know how to explain the memory fragment to Yu Yue, and the night he decided to go to the sea, after falling asleep, he dreamed of a huge submarine tomb, although he couldn't remember it clearly when he woke up. He knew he had been, had been there, and what had also happened.

Yu Yue waited suspiciously for Ah Shen's answer, and after a long while, Ah Shen decided not to tell Yu Yue about it first, so as not to worry her. He relaxed his facial expression and pretended to be an understatement, "Do you remember?"

Ah Shen seemed to be organizing his language, thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember what you said when I talked to you about the submarine tomb a few days ago? ”

Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, she remembered her expectations for this tomb, and she did not take the lead in considering the danger, but more because of the excitement generated by the stimulation.

"Actually, I haven't dived in a long time." Yu Yue sat up from the recliner, her swimsuit flattering her slightly thin figure. She handed the towel to Shen.

Ah Shen came up from the pool and took the towel from Yu Yue's hand, "What if I say I don't want you to go to the grave?" ”

"I haven't followed you to any grave before, so every time you come back from a visit to the grave, I feel at a distance from you. So I often think that if only I had the opportunity to go to the grave with you. Yu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "You used to protect me, but this time I will protect you." ”

"Don't be ashamed." Ah Shen looked at Yu Yue and smiled. After getting along with Yu Yue in the past few months, he gradually felt that Yu Yue was his rightful fiancΓ©e. From the initial psychological resistance to the natural relationship now, what surprised Ah Shen the most was that he was becoming more and more like Ah Shen as others said. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth once again swelled with a smile.

Yu Yue shrugged her shoulders and said mischievously, "Do you think your diving can beat me?" When the time comes, I don't know who will help whom. After speaking, he pouted, turned his head, and pretended not to look at Ah Shen.

"Alright." Ah Shen put his arm around Yu Yue's shoulder, "Actually, seriously, I really don't want you to go with me, you said that the bottom of the sea, you can't run, you can't jump, you can only swim." ”

"Don't stop me this time, do you think that if we don't go down this time, it will become a lifelong regret?" Yu Yue raised her head from the crook of Ah Shen's arm, looked into Ah Shen's eyes, and continued, "I always feel that there is the answer we want in that tomb, and I can't tell what it is. Don't say I'm chattering, I saw Duanmu Long on the day you disappeared, and then I started writing the column "Lost in Wonderland", but I became more and more convinced of the feeling......"

Yu Yue thought of the exchange she had with Ah Shen, she breathed the sweet smell of sea water, her eyes were full of blue, the white line at the junction of the sea and the sky brightened, and the competition in her heart was relieved, as if the place that had been pinched was loosened, and she became relaxed, "Yes, Mayisha, no matter why we want to go down to this tomb, we are already here." Yu Yue took Mayisha's hand, "Do you remember your grandfather?" Your family has been carrying this secret for thousands of years, has anyone ever doubted it during this time? ”

"Yes, many things really don't need so many reasons, the only reason is to want to do it, that's it." Lao Jiang seized this opportunity and said. He was worried about poker face, and he didn't know how to explain the sudden problem.

The crowd relaxed. Only the poker face frowned slightly, the lips were closed very tightly, and the whole body was tense. Originally, Lao Jiang thought that Poker Face was still immersed in Ma Yisha's question just now and couldn't extricate himself, so he only heard Poker Face say in a very low voice, "It's here." His voice was erratic, but firm, as if he were chanting a spell, and it made people shudder.

"What did you say?" Old Jiang shook his poker-faced arm. Poker Face slowly raised his head, his eyes were gloomy, like a lifeless corpse, and he opened his mouth mechanically and uttered a few simple syllables, "This is it." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Old Jiang shook the arm of the poker face, he had never seen the poker face look like this. It was as if his entire soul had been pulled out of his body, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it really be that this place really had such a big impact on the poker face?

The others only heard the voice of Pokerface, and did not notice the abnormality of Pokerface, and looked around in horror, "Is this what it is?" ”

"There's nothing here...... "Maisha said first, just like the sea.

"Of course there is nothing, could it be that there is a monument from afar to let you know that this is the submarine tomb?" Ah Shen said again.

Yu Yue had no choice but to cast an apologetic look at Ma Yisha.

Zhuo Fan ran to the cabin, asked the person who drove the boat to stop the boat, took the locator over, and said while proofreading the locator, "That's right, this is only two kilometers away from the junction of the Southeast China Sea." Zhuo Fan looked around nervously, his breathing couldn't help but increase, "Are we on top of that tomb?" Why can't I feel anything......" he looked at Poker's face, "how does he know?" ”

Lao Jiang pretended not to hear Zhuo Fan's question, and changed the topic on the grounds that the poker face was uncomfortable, "The poker face doesn't seem to be very comfortable, by the way, is there anything abnormal about the boat?" You said before that when you went to sea, the boat broke down. ”

Zhuo Fan really didn't continue to pursue the poker face, thinking about Lao Jiang's question, "I don't know what's going on, there was a big storm that day, and all the instruments on our ship failed." ”

"That's because of the geomagnetic field." The voice of the poker face was heard, and the poker face had returned to its usual appearance, but there was still not much sparkle in its eyes. Lao Jiang noticed that there was something wrong with the poker face, and he couldn't ask him in public, so he had to stay calm for the time being.

"The earth itself is a huge magnetic field, and the north and south poles are near the two poles of the geomagnetic field. How can you say that it is caused by the geomagnetic field? Zhuo Fan didn't understand.

"Have you ever heard that a pigeon's flight is determined by sensing the geomagnetic field, so even if it flies long distances, the pigeon will not get lost?" Poker Face said, his voice weak.

"Well, what does that mean?"

"Not long ago, some experimenters found that when pigeons fly, they will bypass some places. The experimenters later suspected that the geomagnetic field in those places was disturbed, but ......"

"Just what?" Yu Yue was fascinated by this, she hadn't heard such a fascinating explanation for a long time.

Poker looked at Yu Yue, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth rose silently, "It's just that when these experimenters wanted to use instruments to detect the geomagnetic field in these areas, they found that there was no problem with the geomagnetic field here at all." ”

"How could it be like this......" Yu Yue sighed disappointedly. Suddenly, she said, "Could the change in the geomagnetic field be periodic?" ”

Poker Face and Lao Jiang glanced at each other and said, "It's just that these experimenters haven't done any further exploration, and the results are unknown." ”

From this look in the poker face, Lao Jiang seemed to understand something. The difference in the geomagnetic field is not stable, it changes over time, exhibiting stable mutations at a particular time.

"Your grandfather must have discovered this at the time, so he set the forbidden sea day...... "When the sun gradually turned west, the soft orange sunset sun sprinkled on the sea, and the sea surface was gentle and sparkling. Looking at the endless sea, the little fishing boat said.

"yes, now I finally understand. Today, the fishermen of Zhoushan can fish again......"

The different geomagnetic fields that poker face felt were slowly weakening, and he frowned slightly, this faint geomagnetic field that only he could feel was like a spell, calling him to leave this world as soon as possible.
