XXXVIII. Cabins
, below deck
The change came too quickly, from Zhong Nan being dragged below the deck, to Wu Bin jumping into the sea and being dragged into the water, only after a short period of 3 minutes, panic and fear filled the ship, this ship was surrounded by too much fog, we didn't know what was driving the ship at all, or we didn't know what was left on the ship after thousands of years.
"The ship must be fully inspected." When Liming and I walked back, I heard the old man say: "Wu Bin belongs to the yin physique, his eyes are even more yin and yang, unless he encounters something unclean, otherwise he will not bleed, four of the seven orifices bleeding means a great murderer." If we don't know how far away the destination is, there must be nothing good to come out of staying in this place. ”
The speed of the boat is gradually slowing down, now it is not only the problem of the boat, we don't know what is under the water, before I saw Wu Bin being dragged into the water inexplicably, I felt that there are many unknown secrets in the sea.
"And how are we going to search?" Hu Yong was the first to shout: "Didn't you see Zhong Nan's result very clearly?" Do you want us to die? ”
"I don't think it's a death, but I think it's just a simple self-preservation." The old man explained to him.
"Then you'd better choose the right person." Hu Yong suddenly laughed, and there was light seeping down from the clouds, and I saw Hu Yong's eyes staring at me.
"Then you go." The fat man pushed me out, and before he could give me a chance to react, he said, "Let's look at each house." ”
“。” I was a little speechless, but I didn't bother with it, after all, the situation was not quite right, I walked up unintentionally on the boat with the light floating, because I didn't know where the road to the bottom was at all, we were all people who had never done a boat, and we could only have a vague understanding of the external structure of the ship. But I just don't have a clue about the inner workings. So you can only start from the cabin.
We are now at the bow of the ship, the dragon's head proudly cocking its horns to break through the wind and waves in front, I didn't pay much attention to those ancient literary works, just watched the men get dressed and bring guns and ammunition.
The fat man said we'll all be by your side, but all you have to do is be the first to walk in when we open the door, and he handed me a flashlight.
The first house of this ship was the strange door, I walked over and carefully pushed the door open, the people behind were holding their breath and holding guns and knives, but when I pushed the door I found that the door was sealed, I glanced at the one who was with me before, he nodded to me and told me that there were people in this place. "I heard voices behind this door." I said as I showed the fat man the strange pattern on the door, and they saw it.
"Is this a record of the changes in the geology here?" I saw a geologist coming over," and the pattern on it illustrates the change in this place. He pushed his eyes and emphasized again.
"The sun?" The fat man asked.
"It can't be said to be the sun, just like the sunlight above our heads, but it is not the result of direct sunlight, but the result of being refracted by some transparent crystals. And these places, I guess, are very early entrances to extinct volcanoes. ”
"An extinct volcano?"
"It's a product of hundreds of millions of years ago, and when we went to save this little brother before, wasn't the halfway up the mountain a volcanic cave? However, there has been no geological change in magma and geology under Shennongjia. But this place is different. He suddenly opened his hands, "This is actually where the magma used to be, and the previous explosion is the best proof of this, and the power accumulated here can already gush out the water below." ”
"I don't agree with your point of view because there is no credible evidence for your point of view." Dawn walked over.
"I think it's possible." I interrupted Dawn, and I guessed that the dwarves' corpses had been washed away by the magma that had been brought to that place. Then I told them everything I had seen in the cave, and if I didn't I had a good chance of suspecting that the technads were going to have a heated debate here, but time was running out.
We walked on, and as we walked, we found that the rows of rooms on the ship were all enclosed like this, which was so abnormal, what was the point of building so many houses if they were all like this?
"Something isn't right here." Hu Yong was the first to say. "The door of any room can't be opened, and the door under the splint can't be opened, could it be that there is really something underneath."
"It's a well-known thing." The fat man looked at the door panel and said, "Help me smash the door, I want to see what's in there." The sound of the waves was a little quieter at this time, and we held our breath as the fat man finished speaking, and suddenly the strange footsteps in the cabin appeared, like countless human feet walking in my ears, countless creatures with only feet and no body.
"Poof", I saw ** kick the door slammed. But the door was not opened. Again, and again. Finally, the door couldn't resist being opened, and a crack was opened.
I hurriedly used my hand to clasp the gaps, and soon the door was opened by us with a slit that could reach into the arm, and I took the flashlight and shone it inside, and saw that there was a dark thing squirming inside. "Hair." It was the hair I suddenly shouted, and the inside of the door was blocked by dense hair, and it was still moving. I immediately got out of the way for the fat man to see.
"Let's go, we can't stay here." The fat man immediately ordered.
"What's wrong?" I ran over and asked.
"This place is not a boat." He said.
"Not a ship?"
"I'll talk about it later, but now what I need to find is the Hades here."
"Hades?" I immediately thought, "Could it be that this is a tomb?" ”
"That's right, this is a ship tomb, and I would never have thought that what was written on that tomb was true without such an argument." The fat man said, "It is recorded on the tomb that the people on the fairy mountain wanted to return to their hometown after they died, and the rest of the people built a boat for him out of wood, put coffins and tombs on the boat, and put the design of the format into the water like a tomb, and there was enough food and people on the boat to die. ”
"Funeral? There is still a burial? ”
"That's right." The fat man looked down, it seemed that we were really in the right place, he looked up and looked at the room one floor above. It was a circular castle with what appeared to be a small hollow hole in the top.
The fat man arranged for the other people to be on the splint and told them not to move, so he walked up with me, the old man, and **. When I came up, I walked around it, and I realized that there was no door around the bunker. Only a rope ladder from above was placed from there.
I looked at the old man and I definitely a little hanging, because a ship needs a normal aisle to pass in and out, whether it is carrying people or cargo, but this round fortress-like object completely subverted my thoughts, and an overview map of what seemed to be a prison in my mind slowly emerged, because only a closed area can have this building, why build such a cage on a ship?.
I tried to balance my breathing and looked at the flying house and the knight's room behind the cabin, each with different horns, the beams protruding, the advantage of the Masson pine in this damp place was very prominent, although the color of the wood did not match the whole ship, but its preservation of wood was indeed very long, standing here with the pure white light of the flashlight, shining on the brown wood of those houses, a strange atmosphere was confused, especially in the shadows there.
I tested the sturdiness of the rope ladder with my hands and climbed up with my hands and feet, the room below was more than one or two times larger than what I saw outside the boat, and the place inside was densely covered with all kinds of charms swept by flashlight, and in the middle of it was a huge coffin. At first glance, I was a little silly.
"It's a charm!" The old man crawled over and said.
"What spell?" I asked.
"It's too far to see here." The old man told me what was going on inside as he told the fat man.
"There's a mystery." The fat man said, "Let's see if you can go down." The fat man threw a rope ladder to us: "I have already tied the rope." ”
"You mean that you want us to go down a long time ago! The ropes are all tied. The old man glared and scolded.
The fat man over there scolded the old man frantically regardless of his boss image, and I was a little bored and slowly changed my posture from prostrate, but at this time, the hull of the boat moved, and I didn't grasp the rope at once, and was thrown directly into the dark cabin.
Watching the flashlight shake off by the floating hull, the light flashed above my head for a moment and then disappeared, the darkness instantly wrapped me tightly, 1 second later I fell heavily to the ground, a sound wave of "dong" propagated in the small space to the end and then bounced back into my ears from countless faces, like the infinite refraction of light in a mirror, my own voice endlessly slammed at me.
Finally I slowly climbed up, "Old man, throw me down the rope ladder." ”
Soon a flashlight and a rope were thrown down, and the old man climbed down with him, "What's the matter?" He asked. ”
"How do I know?" I touched my mask a little helplessly. "What else do I have to ask you?"
The light illuminated this place again, I saw the coffin lying there quietly, I slowly walked over it was a black iron coffin, under the light of the flashlight can emit colorful light, when I stand in front of it I can even see my own projection from its coffin lid, and I have a warm feeling when I touch it with my hand, as if it is a vivid **.
The first time I saw such a coffin, I suddenly became interested, I squatted down and saw all kinds of moire and floating pictures on the coffin.
"That's the real stone spirit." The old man came over and said.
"Stones?" I wondered, "Isn't this iron?" ”
"It's a stone spirit that can have an out-of-season temperature like a refrigerator, which is very peculiar, and stones like this can be found in many underground caves. But the real stone spirits can only be seen here. ”
"Who will be the one who will enjoy such a noble coffin?"
"I'm afraid it's going to open the museum and take a look, but what I care about most now is these talismans." The old man pointed to the charm on the wall and said, "This is Wuyi, the blessing spell, the curse is to tell the gods that the order will add to the blame." In other words, it is to tell the gods in words to punish the wicked and swear to the gods. ”
"I don't understand." I shook my head.
Spells, charms, are acts of witchcraft. When the linguistic taboo develops to the level of spiritual worship, it may form a spell. Spells are taboo in spoken language, and they are forbidden to be used in normal times, but once used, spells have supernatural powers that can cause the other person to die. Maybe you don't accept this aspect relatively much, but for us old men, we have a lot of contact with weird and supernatural things, as long as it can't be explained by science, we will all be blamed on the ownerless soul. Take some of the spells below, for example! Those charms made of human clothes are also called Wuyi, and the homonym is Wuyi, why do you say that, because these clothes are worn by dead people for several years and then soaked in medicine. Maybe it's a long time, and when you take off the color, those clothes are actually red. ”
"Why?"
"Because in those religions, red or red is considered to be the color of great evil, so these charms drawn in red clothes are also called red clothes to detain souls. The effect is to leave the souls of some dead people in this room. ”
"Why leave the soul of a man in this?"
"I don't know." The old man sighed, "Anyway, this place is not for us to enter, and those who use the spell must do something." And such a thing is not known to us, nor is it something that the 2 of us can deal with. ”
"Fatty." I shouted.
"What's wrong? The boss went down. ** said, just now the ship passed through an uncalm sea, something happened.
"Let him come here." The old man said in my place.
But when the old man finished speaking, I saw that the expression on the face of ** was like seeing a dead thing. "What's wrong? What's behind me? I asked.
"Behind your back." **'s voice trembled a little, and the transposed voice was full of fear.
I looked at the ** above my head and still couldn't understand what kind of words he wanted to say, until I suddenly felt something tugging at me next to my trouser legs, I turned my head and found that there was still empty darkness and strange charms behind me, and that feeling was still coming from my legs.
I looked down and saw that it was a person.
I started to shake.
It was a man with only the upper body, the area below the waist was gone, his waist was tightly pressed against the ground and making a squirming sound, his hands were clutching my calves, his head was completely covered by white hair, I couldn't see his eyes, but I always felt that something was looking at me in those unkempt eyes, his eyes were cold and cold as ice.
My chest began to rise and fall sharply, I frantically breathed the rotten gas in the cabin, my body slowly softened from my calves, there was no thought in my head, my arms trembled and I couldn't stop, I felt that someone was calling me from above, but I was subconsciously looking down.
Little by little, my pants felt as if they were torn, and suddenly something pierced my legs. (To be continued.) )
