The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 51 Ghost Moon
The essence in the clam armor was bright, and the moonlight was like day, attracting the sharks hidden in the nearby coral holes to snoop, but they were afraid of the three deformed stillbirths, so they only dared to poke their heads and tails in the distance, but they did not dare to approach half a foot. However, we also began to worry about whether the stillborn fetus could have a lasting effect on restraining the evil sharks, because these malformed fetuses damaged by the lunar eclipse had been placed in a humid environment for too long, and they had not been embalmed, and they were all maintained by the cold qi of the female corpse.
Twice I took them into the water, the carcass was already blurred, and the shape was no longer as good as nephrite when I first found it, and it seemed that it could melt away with the water at any time, and once something went wrong, and those mackerel swarmed up, within a few minutes, we would let them gnaw into a pile of white bones. And while watching Uncle Ming's three egg people scrape the mussels, I found that the mackerel in the coral cave was getting closer and closer, and the water mackerel gathered, forming a dense layer of black vortex, enveloping a cold moonlight in it. The fat man and I immediately lifted our hearts. Hold your diving dagger tightly and prepare for a stormy fight to the death.
The evil sharks in the underwater coral holes, greedily staring at the moonlight in the pearl clam shell, would have already swarmed if it were not for the fear of the "lunar eclipse". But the three stillborn babies we rely on for self-defense may be deformed by the sea at any time, and the mackerel hovers around waiting for the opportunity, and the tense atmosphere is like an arrow on the bow, except for one or two evil sharks, and they can't help the temptation of the spirit of the bottom of the sea to sacrifice their lives to take it, and the rest will also follow and snatch it regardless of life or death.
Seeing that the shape was urgent, I hurriedly asked Uncle Ming to speed up, this coral cave can't stay for long. Uncle Ming didn't dare to slack off, and took Gu Chai and Duoling to pry open the trembling Bengzu carapace. I saw that the ghost energy flashed inside, and the corpse made of human flesh and skin was wrapped in a gray-white mussel inner sucker, and the 10,000-year-old mother-of-pearl surrounded by this giant armor had become a substance, which was completely different from the ordinary old snail giant mussel, and several mussel feet wrapped around the corpse and sucked it into the bead sac.
Its bead sac is full of sarcoma-like pimples, strings of lymph glands like lesions, when it opens and closes, there is a cold and strange moonlight flash, and there are countless pearls. Egg farmers all believe that "the old mussel gets the essence of the moon, and there is no quality to produce quality, and the pearl is conceived", and there is also a view that "the mussel becomes a pearl when it is sick", which means that shellfish such as snail mussels live for a long time, and the body is diseased, so that the pearl sac will continue to secrete nacre, wrap some fine sediment, and become a pearl for a long time. Mussel beads are similar to a kind of "inner pill" thing, just like "bezoar, horse stone, dog treasure" and other stones, all of which have great medicinal value.
But at the moment, everyone is in a hurry to pick out a hundred pearls and open the mechanism of the underwater undercurrent, and they have no time to study how strange the pearl sac is. Uncle Ming was reluctant to do it himself, and motioned for Gu Chai to step forward, Gu Chai had always rushed to do the primitive and bloody act of scraping the clam and slaying the dragon, he hung the air snail on his belt, and took the dragon arc copper knife from his mouth, grabbed the sack-sized pearl sac with one hand, and cut it with the knife in the other.
The mussel ancestor left the pearl sea, the aura was greatly reduced, and he was scraped by the copper blade several times, and his soul was already scattered, and the mussel meat was just trembling, allowing Gu Chai to cut the pearl sac from his body, and there was no room for struggle and resistance, but at this time, it still used its last bit of strength to tightly drag the corpse.
The so-called "beard" is the "medium" used by ordinary egg people to attract beads, but the ordinary pearl medium has no effect on the mother-of-pearl of the essence, in fact, the pearl medium is a special "bait", the reason why it is called "corpse beard", because it is the "ghost bait", everything in heaven and earth, there are yin and yang poles, the golden ao greedy incense bait, the mother-of-pearl is dedicated to the ghost qi yin essence, although the life is about to be lost, it still refuses to let go of the ghostly "human skin ghost bait".
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, how could the world not be like this, the people who fight and pick eggs, for profit, do not take advantage of their lives, even if they die to the end, I am afraid that they will not be able to see a word "profit". The genus of snails in the coral sea has always been harmless to people, and it has been repeatedly broken and divided, all because of the beads in the body, which is called "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty". Since ancient times, how many egg people have given their lives at the bottom of the sea in order to take the pearl of the mussel? When we cut off the pearl sac of the mussel ancestor, it is equivalent to taking away the temptation of the egg people, which can be regarded as a kind of "redemption", so in a sense, it is a good thing.
Just when I was in a trance, I suddenly felt a sour feeling in my brain, which was really abnormal, as if I felt that the mother-of-pearl in front of me was begging for mercy sadly. I remember Shirley Yang once said that the rare night pearl contains some kind of radioactive substance, and the mussel ancestor has a very strong biomagnetic field, and the low-frequency pulses it emits can interfere with electronic devices, and sometimes cause people to have visual and auditory hallucinations. That's due to the brain waves being affected, and there is an abnormal electrical discharge.
I don't know if the strange feeling in my head has anything to do with it, but everyone around me suddenly stopped moving their hands, and they obviously felt the same way, but the convulsions of the mussel in the mother-of-pearl armor became slower and slower, and the feeling of crying and pleading in our minds gradually disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other underwater, and they all felt that the saying that mother-of-pearl became a essence was true, and it seemed to know that its life was about to end, and it was difficult to escape the catastrophe, and it was begging for mercy with the last bit of energy in its life. Ants are still stealing life, not to mention this ancient creature that has lived for thousands of years.
I saw that everyone was stunned on the spot, so I waved my hand to them, the current situation is nine deaths, and I must not be merciful in the face of the decision to kill, but this mussel ancestor is hidden at the bottom of the sea, and it is true that no one has ever been provoked, Gu Chai used a bronze knife to cut the pearl sac on the mother-of-pearl body, and will not put it to death, so don't hesitate.
And I suddenly realized, even if only the slaughter of mussels can take pearls, this mother-of-pearl must not be slaughtered, it has long been integrated with the sea gas in the eyes of the sea, once the sea air is out of balance, the ruins will inevitably undergo earth-shaking upheavals, and there will be no eggs under the nest?
Gu Chai nodded, picked up the knife, and continued to cut the bead sac, the bead sac is very tolerant, it is not easy to cut, Duoling has also done pearl diving with Ruan Hei for many years, and at this moment he also helped, cut and dragged the huge bead sac out of the clam armor, the fresh pearl sac flesh wall is full of pearls, a rough count, less to say more There are one hundred and fifty or sixty pieces.
There are several pearl sacs in the mother-of-pearl shell, but this one is the largest, and the rest of the flesh is full of unformed pearl rice and bead mud, Shirley Young probably thinks that if all the formed pearls are taken away, this old mussel may die immediately, since there are not so many pearls, a small half will be left. Uncle Ming watched Shirley Yang's actions, and although he was distressed, he didn't dare to stop it.
I saw the evil sharks lurking around me ready to move, and although they did not dare to take half a step beyond the thunder pond at this time, the three stillborn babies began to dissipate in the water, and we had little time left. So he hurriedly took Shirley Yang to stuff more than 30 pearls back into the mussel shell, and then everyone immediately dived under the fossil of the coral iron tree.
Previously, Shirley Yang and others had put the bronze man under the tree, and they saw the bronze man with a strange posture holding a jade hexagram plate, which seemed to be flying to the moon at the bottom of the water. I looked at the shark heads all over the pale green bronze statue's body, and thought, "Whether or not you can find an underground current to escape is all up to you." The most difficult thing to preserve the various mechanisms in the ancient tomb ruins is the power in them, the crossbow ambush fire, venom thunder stone, after a long time, it will rot and copper will rot, and the medicinal properties will volatilize, which is difficult to maintain for too many years. How can there be the motivation and energy to activate the opportunity to let the zombie people in the South China Sea who have not been buried for thousands of years ascend to heaven? ”
I have thought about this question several times before, and I once thought that the sea air condensed in the hundred pearls would drive the subterranean currents to rise, but even I don't believe in that situation. The essence of the South China Sea is hidden in the mother-of-pearl for thousands of years, although the essence of the light is better than the real bright moon in the sky, but to say that it can make the underground flow appear, I am afraid it is far from enough.
I wanted to gamble on my luck before, but when I waited until this coral fossil, I felt that I was not sure at all, I hesitated a little in my heart, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the fat man pushed me behind me, and then I came back to my senses, knowing that I didn't have to think about anything at this time, and I just listened to the destiny of God, if this plan failed, I must leave this dangerous and abnormal underwater immediately. So with a gesture of his hand, everyone rushed forward, and took out the pearls from the pearl sac one after another, and embedded them in the mouth of the copper shark one by one.
It took nearly 100 pearls to embed the copper shark full, there is very little left in the bead bag, the pearl is full of pearl light to reflect the bronze man almost through the bone, and the essence of the moonlight pearl is brilliant, condensed into a layer of halo in the mouth of the copper shark, cast on the jade plate, it suddenly turns into a full moon, the moon is as bright as a mirror, illuminating the whole coral cave is clear.
Looking at the side, the bronze jade plate turned into a piece of light and shadow in the water waves, like the moon in the water. "Bright Moon Toad Palace" in the view of the hating heavens, is the destination of the dead after death, as if it is the underworld in our concept, plus although the moon in the water is cold and thorough, but after all, it is not the real bright moon, and than the real moonlight, there is a little more eerie and terrifying ghost, as if I saw the "ghost moon" that should not be stored in the world, and I felt numb in my scalp and felt uneasy from my bones.
But other than that, there are no special changes in the cave of the coral fossil, and my heart is half cold, and the tremors in the bright moon are clearly visible, but it is not a mechanism that causes subterranean currents at all. And the moonlight is too bright, the evil shark watching on the side must be led by it to go crazy, and now the three fetuses that have been transformed by the lunar eclipse have also been soaked in the sea water and slowly melted, and they are two circles smaller than the original shape, and their faces are becoming more and more blurred, even if we want to quit and find another way, I am afraid it will be too late.
Shirley Yang suddenly gestured behind everyone, and when we looked back, we couldn't help but shout: "Oops! "It turned out that the swarms of mackerel were like a pitch-black turbidity current, which had separated the pearl shell armor and gnawed the mussel body into pieces in an instant, and the residue of the mussel meat was mixed with blood, muddying the sea water, and the remaining dozens of mussel beads were all swallowed by the hungry ghost-like black sharks. Pity the mussel spirit that has lived for thousands of years, leaving the nest in the Yinghai Sea, there is no room for resistance and struggle, not only the egg people want to pick its pearls, even the underwater ichthyosaurus scale clan also peeps into these secret treasures in the sea, we are a little careless, did not lead the mussel ancestor back to the Pearl Mother Sea, so that these evil sharks took advantage of the loophole, and gnawed it alive into an empty shell.
The blood was washed away by the water waves, and there were only six lifeless empty shells left of the mother-of-pearl, and the corpse that had lost the yin qi in its skin was soaked in water and swelled abnormally, as if it was a pig that was blown into the air after bleeding during the slaughter, drifting with the waves, floating nearby. The large schools of mackerel devoured the mussel beads, and refused to let go of the residue of the flesh in the water, and swam greedily to chase and devour, and there were so many of them that the coral trees were surrounded by iron buckets.
When I saw this, I felt a buzz in my head, and said secretly: "The general trend is gone." "It's not that I lament for the ancestor of the mussel in the Ying Sea, but it was tragically broken and died, and we are afraid that our lives will also be lost. The inside of the ruins was taken by the Hate Tian clan to take the dragon fire ore, and dug a thousand holes, it is said that the dragon qi has long been extinguished, but the sea and air have changed, and it has not dissipated so far. Mother-of-pearl is the spirit of the sea of ruins, that is, the "incarnation" in the yin and yang house of Qingwu feng shui, is the accumulation and condensation of sea qi, the spirit of vitality self-condensation, as soon as the mother of pearl dies, the sea gas in the eyes of the sea will lose the delicate balance of thousands of years, leading to the collapse of the sky and the collapse of the sea disaster, there may be something wrong......
But before I could think about it more, I felt the turbulence of the underwater, which made everyone shake, and quickly grabbed the bronze man around me, and saw all kinds of large and small water tribes around me scurrying around, a scene of great disaster. I thought to myself, this must have come too soon, why is the mother of pearl about to be turned upside down just after she died?
But then I found that it was not the mountains that shook the ground, but the infestation of giant beasts at the bottom of the sea, which caused the water waves to roll and surge, and the violent surging of the sea water came from the bottomless black hole on the coral reef, the bright moon-like jade hexagram disk, the clear moonlight was covering the entrance of the hole, and there were two big eyes in the depths of the black hole, flashing one by one, their eyes were like torches, staring at the ghost moon.
We used the corpse as bait to lure the mother of pearl from the bottom of the water where she was hiding, and took the bead sac from its shell, and now these hundred pearls, like a cold and clear moon in the water, are at the same time a bait, leading out the Grim Reaper lurking at the bottom of the sea, and a burst of creepy feelings spread throughout the body, and I already have a premonition that what I am about to face this time is probably the most terrifying thing in the depths of the South China Sea. At this moment, under the ghostly moonlight, the water waves in the black hole surged, and a large ship decorated with a hideous ghost head appeared, and the black shadow flickered, and the bow of the ship was already in front of him.
