Chapter 467: The Nether Ship

It was dark again, and tonight was the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there was no moon in the night sky tonight, because the sky was full of dark clouds. Dense dark clouds with thunder and lightning pierced the sky, signaling that a storm was coming.

Each of us was filled with fear, and almost all of us felt that there was no hope of being rescued. Originally, on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, we were going to find the ruins, and then waited for the turtle to camel Penglai Island out of the sea. However, everything is now a pipe dream, and for us, seeing a search and rescue ship is an eye-opener.

On the eve of the storm, we suddenly heard a small cry coming from the cockpit. Yang Qing asked me who was crying? Several of us glanced at each other, but Lao Yang was missing, so we knew that the cry must be Lao Yang's.

We followed the crying to the driver's cab, and really saw Lao Yang hiding there and crying secretly. We tried to go up and comfort him, but we opened our mouths and gave up, because whatever we said at the moment was so pale. At this time, especially when the storm is approaching, each of us is very scared in our hearts.

I tried to invite Wen Zilong and them, hoping to use the ghost sedan chair to rescue us. However, they couldn't invite them to come up at all, maybe in this vast sea, even Wen Zilong and they couldn't come.

In the end, I had to sigh in despair. Looking at the lightning and thunder that was about to come to the storm, I smiled bitterly and said to Yang Qing and Chen Xianyi, I died on the way to find Penglai Island, and I have no regrets, but I didn't expect that this time it will affect you.

Yang Qing took my hand and said to me, "I came with you voluntarily, even if I die, I am not afraid." ”

Lao Tang and Chen Xianyi also said: "What is not involved, live and die together, only then are the true brothers." Besides, we don't necessarily have to die here, maybe someone will come and save us later? As long as we live one minute longer, we have one more hope. ”

Hearing that Lao Tang and Chen Xianyi could say this, I felt even more guilty in my heart, and felt that I shouldn't have dragged them together.

Of course, although they were encouraging me not to give up hope, I believe that they themselves were already feeling hopeless.

Soon the storm came. Suddenly a storm swept in, and the wind and waves seemed to tear our ship apart. Each wave was as high as two or three stories high, and our boat was as small as an ant in the ocean, churning in the waves.

The wind and waves were like the howl of death, and several of us were already pale with fright, and everyone's faces were filled with endless fear. Of course, what worries us the most is that this small wooden boat will not be able to withstand the crashing of the huge waves, and it will be crushed.

Perhaps God blessed, this storm came and went quickly, and soon, the waves slowly calmed down, the dark clouds dispersed, and a bright moon was reflected on the calm sea.

Although the planks of our ship were scattered several times by the huge waves, we were relieved to see that we could survive the storm just now.

However, although the catastrophe is not dead, we do not know where we have been blown by the storm at the moment. I don't know how much distance there is from Shandong, maybe thousands of miles, or thousands of miles.

And at this moment, Yang Qing suddenly pulled the corner of my clothes, and became very excited, and shouted to me: "Look at the second dog, look at it, there is a light over there!" ”

Hearing this, all of us were stunned, and after reacting, we hurriedly looked in the direction that Yang Qing was pointing, and then sure enough, we saw a firelight on the horizon in the distance. Because it was a little far away, the fire was just a small white spot, and it was difficult to spot it unless you looked closely.

Seeing this, all of us became excited, because the white point of light represented that it might be a boat.

Then, in order to make the other party see us, we went to the boat and found some flammable materials and lit them, hoping that the other party would be able to see the fire on our side.

A fire broke out on the deck of the ship, and we looked out at the white dots in the distance, and put all our hopes there, for it was the first time we had seen a passing ship in four days. If we miss this opportunity, then maybe we won't have it again.

Because of this, although the white dot light was very far away from us, Lao Yang and the others couldn't help waving and shouting at each other. Even if you know that the other party can't hear it at all......

In the sky, the moon is shining, and tonight is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is about nine o'clock at this time. We stared intently at the white light in the distance on the deck, and slowly, the white light became clearer and closer, and we all jumped up excitedly when we saw this. Because it's finally coming towards us!

After waiting for about half an hour, the boat finally came not far in front of us. It was a bigger boat than our fishing boat, with lights on and we kept shouting and waving at each other's boats.

But as we shouted, the lights on the boat suddenly went out, leaving only a wind lamp hanging from the bow. The wind lanterns were dim, and the sea breeze swayed around, but there was not a single figure on the boat.

At this time, Lao Yang, who was desperately waving and shouting just now, suddenly screamed, showing a very frightened expression, pointing to the boat in front of him and shouting, "Ghost ...... Ghost ship, that's a ghost ship......"

Seeing that Lao Yang's mood suddenly became so weird, everyone was stunned, and I hurriedly asked him, what's wrong?

Lao Yang pointed to the boat in front of him and said to us in a panic: "That's a ghost ship, a ghost ship. It seems that we can't go back this time, and as long as we see this kind of 'ghost ship' at sea, it is a sign that we are going to die at sea. ”

After saying this, Lao Yang looked very panicked and worried, and his face was full of fear.

The ghost ship, also known as the ghost ship, has long been part of the nautical legend that crews and fishermen talk about. These ships are said to manifest on the horizon and then magically disappear quickly, and often herald a catastrophe.

It is said that ghost ships usually refer to abandoned ships without crew or passengers, because the sea is full of dangers, and there are often wrecked ships, because the people on board are dead, and those dead souls will stay on such ships and continue to drift on the sea, and this kind of ship will become ghost ships.

It is said that the dead souls of the dead in the sea usually board the empty ships that are adrift in Shanghai. In short, this kind of empty ship is extremely unlucky, and no one dares to go up because it is full of dead souls.

Of course, I've also heard stories about ghost ships, about some ships that are wrecked, and the people on board are long dead, but the ship can continue to sail at sea for decades, even hundreds of years, as if some force has been maintained.

For Lao Yang's words, we were all very surprised. I asked Lao Yang, "Are you sure it's really a ghost ship?" ”

Lao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it is a ghost ship, which often dangles around the sea, and anyone who sees it will die." It wasn't a ship to rescue us at all, it was a ship to pick us up. ”

Lao Yang also told us a story about a boat with five crew members a few years ago, and on a stormy night, the boat broke down when it was also out to sea, and saw a ghost ship with lanterns. They reported the incident to the police, and when the rescue team arrived the next day, they found that all five crew members were dead, and they died very strangely, because they had hanged themselves in the cabin. Some people say that the five crew members committed suicide because their souls were taken away by the Nether Ship.

"That's the ghost ship, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, you see, it's also only a lantern, you can't see a single figure, and it's ...... And it's floating over......" There was endless panic on Lao Yang's face, and his eyes were wide open as he said this, trembling with fright.

Seeing Lao Yang like this, our brows furrowed. Because what Lao Yang said was right, the boat that was approaching us in front of us was indeed dark in the cabin, except for a dim lantern hanging on the bow of the ship. Not only was there no one on board, but it really didn't come over, but drifted over, because it was silent and deadly......

Seeing this, Yang Qing was also a little scared, and couldn't help but grab my arm.

Old Tang said, "Is it really a ghost ship?" ”

"Yes." I nodded, for I had opened the Eye of Heaven and saw that the boat was covered with yin air, and it was obviously very unclean.

Hearing my affirmative answer, Chen Xianyi couldn't help but scold: "Phew! I finally waited for a boat, and it turned out to be a ghost boat, could it be that we really can't go back this time? ”

At this time, we no longer dare to wave and shout at the ship, because it would be a trouble to provoke the spirits of the other ship. Even if I'm not afraid of ghosts.
