The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 35 The Fierce Ghost Comes Out of the Cage (II)
I thought to myself that I would dispose of a dead body at sea and throw it directly into the sea to feed the fish, and I would not be guilty of hiding the corpse in the mezzanine of the bilge, I am afraid that there is something else in this sea willow boat, and it may not be a zombie, and as far as Ruan Hei and other egg people are pious to maritime superstition, I dare to assert that he would never dare to hide a dead person in the boat.
The fat man and I speculated wildly, and there was no idle under my hands, and Shirley Yang stepped forward to help Gu Chai get out. After tearing him open, there was no movement in the hole in the cabin, and the undercurrent boiling in the deep water under the ship disappeared, and the bilge water level was lowered considerably. I asked Shirley Yang to gather the flashlight and a qiฤ glowing device, both of which were aimed at the clamp cabin, and then used the dragon arc short knife in his hand to cut the cabin in a burst, and instantly pried open the entire clamp cabin baffle. This section of the interlayer of the bilge is very narrow, there is only less than half a meter wide space inside, as soon as the baffle is dropped, you can see a black mass of things in the interlayer, the surface is rough, full of etched holes of different sizes, it turned out to be a large piece of sea stone flowers born on the fossil of ancient sea willow.
There was a human bone leaning on the sea stone flower, and there was not a single cloth on the body, and eighty percent of it was already rotten. The white skeleton was wrapped in sea stone flowers and motionless, dripping black water down the bone joints of its body and the eye sockets and nostrils on the skull. These thick black liquids are like the fluid in the coffins of ancient tombs, but they are odorless and tasteless, and they seem to flow out of the sea stone flowers, and after accumulating to the bilge, they slowly seep into the sea willows.
On the black sea stone flowers, there are dozens of creatures that are half like fish and half like shrimps, the upper part is like a fish, with scales and fins, the head of the fish is round and very smooth, and the lower part is like a shrimp, with carapace and chela, they seem to have made a home in the sea stone flowers, from time to time to lick the black water on the bones of the dead, sizzling and sucking, looking very greedy, being illuminated by the beam of the flashlight, they fell to the ground one after another, hitting the cabin with their heads, making a kowtow sound of "dong dong dong", and like the wooden fish knocked by the monks in the temple, gurgling in the mouth, It's like chanting a mantra, I don't know what I'm muttering.
Shirley Yang and the others and I looked at each other, no one knew what was in the cabin, and under the beams of various flashlights, a shadow suddenly moved in the sea stone flower. The four of us subconsciously took a step back, only to see a humanoid shadow in the sea stone flowers, as if trembling slightly in the reflection of the water waves, as if it was about to come out.
I thought to myself: "Since the Trident was acquired and refitted by the British, Ruan Hei has been helping on the ship, and Gu Chai has been following the ship's boss Ruan Hei for so many years, maybe he knows what this thing like a sea stone flower is." But after glancing at Gu Chai , he was obviously at a loss, and there was still a little panicked look on his face, thinking that there would be a ghost crawling out of the sea stone flower, and pointed to the cabin and said to me: "Ghost...... Hell ......"
I raised my hand and pressed his mouth, don't talk nonsense, don't you know that there are some things that are not talked about? The more you talk, the more ghosts you talk about, even if there are no ghosts, sooner or later you will become ghosts. There are only more doorways for the nautical ship than for tomb robbers, not less than for tomb robbers, and perhaps the sea stone flowers hidden in the compartment, and these strange fish that kowtow, are some kind of secret shrines on the ship. It is true that the ship bosses will often put some mess on the ship, only what they think is auspicious, but why can't they talk about it at sea and see it with their eyes? Is the death of the British explorers who converted the Sea Willows really related to the contents of the compartment?
Shirley Yang said: "We don't know these things, but just now this skeleton seems to have grabbed Gu Chai's legs, but now it doesn't move, I don't know what is strange about the blurred figure in the sea stone flower, I think everything needs to be careful, now that the ship has been abandoned, it is better to ignore this hidden cabin and leave as much as possible." โ
I said to Shirley Yang: "Let's go together again, I also think that this sea stone flower is not quite right, let's not do it, just go up there and get some explosives, blow it up completely, and then I will be out of sight, so that I will have to worry about it all the time, and I can't put it anywhere." "After that, I dragged Gu Chai and wanted to lead everyone to the deck, meet Uncle Ming and Duo Ling who stayed on it, and wait until I got the explosives to blow up this strange sea stone flower.
Before we turned around and left, the strange fish in the cabin like kowtowing and chanting suddenly stopped, the fish's mouth opened and closed, and spit out a black and heavy bead, although it was only the size of a fingernail, but it was dark and shiny, and it was illuminated with a flashlight, and suddenly there was a rare strange halo, and I exclaimed in my heart: "Black!" โ
The value of the sparkling moonlight pearl in the South China Sea is extraordinary, all of which are the snails felt by the yin essence and the moonlight, and the nacre is continuously secreted from the bead sac, and then it is a treasure condensed from the essence of the sea from the qualitative and qualitative. Among them, those who are born in response to the moon, there are silver, white, light yellow, pink differences, especially the brightness of the moon, after the light goes out, the one who can illuminate a hundred steps is the highest grade, but it is better than this moonlight pearl, it is the rarest "black pearl" in the sea. No one thought that the strange fish that nested with sea stone flowers and human bones would spit black pearls in their mouths, and they couldn't help but stop.
But don't say that it's me and the fat man, who rarely go to sea, touch the gold captain, even if the egg people are longhu, few are really lucky enough to see the black pearl, only to hear Uncle Ming talk about it, the black pearl is called "Wu Xuan 1" in the mouth of the egg people, and it is a rare treasure under the sea that can be found. But I think it's very strange, many creatures in the world have Neidan and stones, such as bezoar, dog treasure, donkey stone, I and the fat man have seen the old weasel's corpse in the red sarcoma-like Neidan, all of which are intentionally or unintentionally born by swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, but these things are not as good as the moonlight pearl of the old snail and old clam in the sea.
The fish in the big lake have lived for a long time, and they can also play with the moon beads, but the "black bully" fetish object can not be made out of thin air by the fish and dragon, only a very special old clam will give birth to this thing, but to say that these fish beads in front of you are not "black marry", what will it be?
The fat man stared at the black pearl on the deck, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said happily: "Commander Hu, I remember that when we were poor, we were like a white-haired girl looking forward to liberation in the deep mountains every day, and I didn't want anything else, I just looked forward to being able to touch the dog's head and blonde hair to make a windfall." This time I really don't know which high incense to burn right, just got the line of the Nanyang Buddha, these little black babies rushed to the door by themselves, not rich and noble, what are we polite about......" As he spoke, he reached out to pick up "Wu Xuan", and picked one up and said, "The yacht that the fat man drove in the Pacific Ocean...... This is a villa in California...... What's this...... It's a fat little girl in the United States......"
Seeing the fat man's appearance of falling into the eyes of money, my heart moved, as if something suddenly came to mind, contemplating and recalling, I thought of the dead Ruan Hei, the greedy nature of the egg man - maybe it is not appropriate to say that it is greedy, but it should be said that it is a habit or a conventional rule. In their traditional tradition, whenever they encounter the dragon's lair, they must be "dead picking" until the end of the harvest, and there has never been some concept left, belonging to the outlaws who don't want to die when they see eggs. Unless......
Mindfulness and this, just about to turn this corner in my mind, Shirley Yang thought of it one step ahead of me, and she hurriedly said: "Fat man, don't take it, I'm afraid these things are not black blacks under the sea!" But the fat man didn't care, and still picked up the few remaining black pearls.
At this time, Gu Chai pointed to the mezzanine of the secret cabin that was pried open: "Brother Hu, there are ghosts, you believe me, there are really ghosts......" His Chinese pronunciation is not as clear and accurate as Ruan Hei, and there are not too many sentences, and some of the things he wants to say are often not expressed, so he is so anxious that he just stomps his feet, turns it over and turns it over and says that there are ghosts.
I just looked at the fat man to prevent any accidents when he was busy picking up green heads, and casually dealt with Gu Chai: "I believe you are an egg, you will talk nonsense, what the hell?" There are only eggs and no ghosts in the sea, I really can't remember the last time I saw a ghost, but I really haven't eaten egg fried rice in years...... "Although I didn't talk with my brain, under the effect of the reflex nerve, I still glanced at his hand with Shirley Yang. The blurred black figure in the sea stone flowers has become clear at some point, and the outlines of the facial features have been revealed, but they are like reflections in the water, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a man or a woman. The ghost seemed to be a deep black sea water, drifting between the solid sea stone flowers and sea willows, and suddenly flowed into the pile of dead man's bones, and black water immediately flowed from the deep eye sockets of the skull, like two lines of dark tears welling up from the skull, and the soul wept. It seemed to me that the whole of the Sea Willows had been shrouded in the shadow of death, and it seemed that the shape was not good, and from the moment the bilge was broken, we were doomed to have no escape, and we were about to repeat the mistake of the total destruction of the British.
Although the hull has undergone several major repairs and modifications, the main structure is still the earliest of those sea willows, which has been used to this day, two years ago by the British to acquire and refit the ship, this ship was in Coral Temple Island for a period of time, the egg man Ruan Hei and several local fishermen, were hired to maintain the sea willow boat, and participated in the refit operation.
