Chapter 468: On the Ghost Ship
In order to comfort Yang Qing and Lao Yang, I said to them, although it is a ghost boat, but with me, you don't have to be afraid. If they dare to cause trouble, I'll make them unable.
Chen Xianyi also said: "The master has a belly of fire, if they dare to break ground on the Tai Sui master, the master will let them have no return." ”
Yang Qing knew our ability, and when she heard that Chen Xianyi still had kung fu to brag, she naturally relaxed a lot.
However, Lao Yang on the side was still frightened, and his face was full of horror. He said, "You don't need to comfort me, they are ghosts, we are human beings, how can people fight ghosts." I'm afraid we're going to die today! ”
I told Lao Yang that we are Mr. Yin and Yang, and even if there are ghosts on that netherworld, it is impossible for them to dare to provoke us.
Lao Yang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that we would still be Mr. Yin and Yang, but then he sighed again and said: "Even Mr. Yin and Yang will die, because the ghost ship is a god of death from the Styx, just like a ghost from the underworld, specially to pick up people's souls." ”
Seeing that Lao Yang didn't trust us, Chen Xianyi became a little angry, and muttered: "What kind of god of death is not a god of death, isn't there only one underworld in this world." This brother of mine is a person who has even seen the Lord of Yama, and he is afraid of a few souls who die at sea. ”
Chen Xianyi's words, Lao Yang naturally didn't believe it, who would believe that I would have met Lord Yan. Whoever tells this will only think that we are bragging.
However, I was a little curious about the Stygian Sea that Lao Yang said, so I asked him: "Lao Yang, what do you mean by the Stygian Sea just now?" ”
Lao Yang said: "The Stygian Sea is said to be a place where the Netherworld is held, it is a dark hell, legend has it, there are many ghosts and monsters, even the water is black. All the souls that die at sea will be captured by the ghost ship and taken to the Styx, and they will never be able to turn over. ”
"The water is black?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned. He said anxiously: "Who did you hear that the water there is black?" Are you sure? ”
Lao Yang nodded and said, "Everyone on the sea knows about this, that place is said to have no sun all day long, Vientiane is dark, and it is a place of death. ”
"Do you know where the Stygian Sea is?" I couldn't help but hurry.
When everyone saw my suddenly surprised expression, they couldn't help but ask me what was wrong?
To be honest, when I heard Lao Yang talk about the so-called Stygian Sea, I really couldn't help but feel a little excited, so I said to everyone: "The Stygian Sea that Lao Yang said is very likely to be the ruins we are looking for!" ”
"Huh?" Everyone was amazed and asked me why I said that.
Seeing that everyone was confused, I said to them: "Returning to the ruins is also known as returning to the void and nine shades, and it is said that the water in the ruins is black." ”
I remember that there is a saying in "The Story of Ten Continents in the Sea": "Penglai, the place is also in the ruins." On the northeast coast of the East China Sea, it is thousands of miles back and forth, and there is a steady sea around the mountains. The round sea is black, and it is called the Stygian Sea. "It says that the waters of the Land of the Ruins are black, also known as the Stygian Sea.
Moreover, there are not only such records in the "Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea", but also in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Notes on the Book of Water", "Notes on the Bracket of the Land" and other books.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. All of them had a light in their eyes, saying that this so-called Stygian Sea is really the ruins we are looking for.
I nodded, extremely excited in my heart, so I hurriedly asked Lao Yang, where is the Stygian Sea?
Lao Yang shook his head and said that he didn't know, because this Stygian Sea is a hell where the Netherworld souls are imprisoned, so no one knows where it is, and those who know where it is, unless it is a dead soul.
Hearing this, we couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Because according to Lao Yang's words, the world only knows that there is such a Stygian Sea in the world, but no one has ever seen it, it only exists in legends.
However, no one knows where it is, which is normal, because returning to the ruins is also returning to the void, and the void refers to nothingness, emptiness, ethereal, unpredictable, and naturally impossible for people to see.
Everyone was very disappointed, and Lao Tang said: "What should we do now, our ship is useless, and even if we know that the Styx Sea is the ruins, we don't know where it is, or it is equivalent to nothing." ”
Yang Qing also said: "Is it true that you can't go to that place unless you die?" ”
I shook my head disappreciatively, glanced at the ghost ship that was about to come over, and then turned my head and asked Lao Yang: "Are you saying that these ghost ships came from the Stygian Sea and went to the Stygian Sea?" ”
Lao Yang nodded, his eyes full of panic, and said, "Yes, it is here to pick up the dying to go to the Stygian Sea." ”
Hearing me ask Lao Yang like this, Chen Xianyi immediately reacted and asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean...... Can we make a ghost ship to go to the Styx? ”
Seeing that Chen Xianyi guessed my thoughts, I couldn't help but nod, pointed to the ghost ship and said, "Yes, since the ghost ship is back to the Stygian Sea, then let's go with it." ”
Lao Tang said, "What if the Stygian Sea is not the ruins we are looking for?" ”
I was stunned, I hadn't thought about it.
At this time, Chen Xianyi said: "It's not a ruin, then let's wait for rescue on that ghost boat, anyway, our boat is also broken, and we don't know our specific location anymore, it's the same on which boat to wait for rescue." What's more, if we take a ghost boat to the Stygian Sea, it is really the ruins we are looking for, if we don't give it a try, won't we regret it for the rest of our lives? ”
Chen Xianyi's analysis is very reasonable, in fact, everyone understands very well that after the storm, our position has long been unknown where it has drifted, and there is really little hope for rescue. Nowadays, no matter which boat you take in, it's almost the same as waiting for death. Why don't you take a ghost boat and give it a try, maybe you can find the ruins and go to Penglai Island, so at least you can have a glimmer of life.
I asked everyone, "Do you think it's okay?" ”
Everyone nodded, and Lao Tang said, "Then let's do it!" ”
But at this time, Lao Yang behind me heard that we were going to get on the ghost boat, and he was very frightened, so he pulled us back, saying that it was a ghost boat, and we must not get on the ghost boat, otherwise there would be no return.
I told Lao Yang not to worry, even if there were really ghosts on that ship, it would not be possible to hurt us.
However, Lao Yang has been adrift at sea all his life, and the terrifying legend about the ghost ship has long been ingrained in his heart, how can he listen to our words and dispel the fear in his heart. At that moment, he took several steps out of the panic and hid in the corner of the cabin, thinking that we were going to get on the ghost ship, but he was fascinated by the ghosts on the ghost ship, and he was so frightened that he trembled and was in danger, and pointed to us and said to himself: "The ghost ship has appeared, the ghost ship has appeared, you ...... You must have fallen for evil! ”
We all came to persuade him, told him that we were not evil, and told him to go with us to the ghost ship. However, Lao Yang was stunned and refused to get on the ghost boat with us, and in the end, he roared like crazy, saying that if you want to die, don't pull him.
Later, I thought about it, I really don't know which boat has more hope of survival, since he doesn't want to get on the ghost boat, it is better to let him stay, maybe the rescue boat outside can only find him.
Thinking of this, I told Chen Xianyi to forget about them, don't persuade them anymore.
Chen Xianyi nodded, sighed, and said, "If he stays here, maybe the chance of being rescued is indeed greater." ”
So, we no longer persuaded Lao Yang to get on the ghost ship. At this time, the ghost ship also leaned to the side of our ship, looking at the dim wind lamp on the bow, I saw that this was a sailboat, the ship was very dilapidated, the hull was mottled and fell off everywhere, and I don't know how many years it had been drifting on the sea.
We carried some fresh water and food from the boat and jumped on the ghost boat. Strange to say, as soon as we got on the ghost boat, the ghost boat immediately separated from Lao Yang's boat and drifted in the direction it came.
As soon as we got on the ghost boat, we felt a gust of wind and a lot of temperature in an instant. I'm going to tell everyone to be careful, because this boat is really wicked.
We walked around the ship, but there were no dead souls. Of course, there could be no one on this boat, it was just an empty boat.
Then I was puzzled, and I said, "It's really strange, this boat is cloudy and windy, and the yin qi is shrouded, and at first glance I know that it is not clean, but why don't I see any dead souls?" ”
Lao Tang didn't have yin and yang eyes, so he glanced at Chen Xianyi and asked him if he had seen anything dirty?
Hearing him ask, I also looked at Chen Xianyi on the side.
Seeing that we were all looking at him, Chen Xianyi couldn't help but spread his hands, rolled his eyes, and said, "I didn't see any ghosts either, this is an empty boat." ”
At this time, Yang Qing said: "There are no dead souls on the ship, which should be a good thing for us." At least there won't be any ghosts to harm us, will they? ”
However, when I couldn't find the ghost, I frowned and said, "Since this is an empty ship and there are no dead souls, who lit the lantern on the bow of the ship?" With that, I pointed to the dim wind lamp that hung from the bow of the boat......
The wind lanterns are dim and dangling in the sea breeze, and such a lantern hangs on an empty and unmanned ship, giving people an eerie atmosphere.
When everyone heard me say this, they couldn't help but frown deeply when they glanced at the lantern on the bow of the ship......
