Chapter 598: The Forbidden Sea
At this moment, the ghost ship is passing through the gray mist, moving towards an unknown destination, unhurried, leisurely as a leisurely stroll.
My heart has finally settled down, there must be a boat driving here, Bai Xiangyue is here, we must be safe.
I couldn't figure out where the appearance of the ghost ship was to lead us there, but Ge Laohan was frightened by a legend and turned around and fled, and the ghost ship would stop and lead us to set off again.
The water outside could be seen from inside the canopy, and there was no sound at all when it moved, as if the ship was illusory and did not exist at all.
The name "ghost" is apt.
All we have to wait for now is to see where the ghost ship will dock.
Then, I walked around the guardian coffin cautiously, trying to find some details, and found a tadpole script at the bottom, similar to the one I saw last time in the secret room of Fengmen Village, slightly different, but most of them were the same.
From this, I am even more sure that this coffin is a guardian coffin, and it is definitely the same as the previous five. I just don't know what is buried inside.
There is no doubt that the number of layers of this coffin is definitely a lot, the last time I was in the ghost tomb, the bronze coffin of Bigan was as high as seven layers, but it was still not as big as the guardian coffin, according to speculation, the number of layers of the guardian coffin may reach the legendary nine layers!
It's a scary layer.
Whether it is the mundane world or the strange door, what is particular is the reciprocity before and after death. If you don't have that status, you can't use the coffin, otherwise it will bring disaster to your descendants at least and to the afterlife.
In a word, if you don't have enough Fulu, don't put that score!
This is the metaphysical exquisiteness of Feng Shui, which is very effective. Therefore, ancient funerals were carried out in strict accordance with their respective statuses, and the scale of the mausoleum and the number of funeral goods were all exquisite, and it was by no means the more the merrier.
And the most stringent thing is the number of layers of the coffin.
Ordinary people don't know how to use the coffin, not only because of financial resources, but because they can't use it, because they don't have the life to enjoy it.
Generally speaking, only princes and generals will use coffins, ordinary one layer and two layers of coffins are enough, advanced three layers and four layers to the top, and the emperor is generally five to six layers.
Bigan is a heavenly nobleman, and he is a great power of Qimen, and he is only seven layers!
Nine layers, is a legendary number of layers!
If this kind of coffin can't be suppressed, let alone buried, it will be struck by lightning when the coffin is made! Because God doesn't allow it, this is not a joke, there are many such records in the history of Qimen.
Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the Empress Dowager Cixi, who has listened to politics for decades, is a dragon and phoenix, and the specifications of her burial are high enough, but the coffin is only five-fold.
The annals of Qimen are clearly recorded, she once wanted to use a nine-story coffin to bury herself, but before she could make it, she inexplicably lost fire and burned clean. Later, it was built again, and it was directly struck by lightning, so he reluctantly lowered the number of layers to five layers.
That's more!
As a result, not long after the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, the grave was dug up by Sun Dianying.
Of course, these are the secret histories of Qimen, and there will be no records in the world.
After thinking about it, I took out my phone and took a picture of the tadpole text on the coffin, although I haven't found anyone who can read it yet, but there is a chance to keep it.
After that, I walked to the crystal coffin, Bai Xiangyue didn't seem to have any signs of waking up, and I took a few pictures of my phone at her, and I felt empty, because I felt that she must know.
Patting and patting, I suddenly noticed that the place covered by Bai Xiangyueyu's hand seemed to have something red, like a tattoo. Although the color is also red, it has a color difference with the red clothes, which is more vivid, like the color of blood.
After carefully identifying it, it looked like a flower, and according to the estimate, it was centered on her fragrant navel. The flower felt inexplicably familiar to me, but I was sure and certainly had never seen the real thing.
Vaguely as if I had seen it in a dream, it was a snow-white, fluffy little thing, and it was on a meat mat under his feet.
But I don't remember it very clearly, it's very hazy.
Bai Xiangyue is a demon, this has been confirmed by many parties, and the heart said that she is the illusion of the white velvet thing?
But what is it? And she fell into a deep sleep and did not dissolve into her body. As far as I know, demons reveal their true bodies when they fall asleep.
That's not right, maybe she's not an ordinary demon, maybe it's something else.
I once suspected that she was a fox turned demon, because that kind of charm seemed to be only found by the legendary fox spirit.
But then I didn't think it was, because she was charmed and charmed by an essential difference from fox, she was more of a kind of cold and glamorous, and she definitely didn't mean to take the initiative to charm anyone, it was completely natural.
Even, to people other than me, she is cold, she is a terrifying red witch, and she doesn't even blink her eyes when she kills.
Brother Gua and I have an iron enough friendship, but he once told me that Bai Xiangyue had murderous anger in his eyes when he looked at him, which made his heart tremble.
In other words, Bai Xiangyue doesn't care about others at all, even if he and I are very familiar and iron.
In addition, more than half a step also lists her as a taboo, and even talking about it will cause serious trouble. The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of her, although it was only a glimpse in the underworld, it was conceivable that it was absolutely terrifying.
After thinking about it, I adjusted the focus again and took a picture of the looming red flower.
Looking at Bai Xiangyue's face, I muttered secretly, "Who are you?" Why come near me, did we ever know each other? ”
In my heart, there is no answer.
"Puff puff ......"
Suddenly, the torches in the canopy were extinguished one by one, and the light in the cabin soon dimmed, and even the lanterns began to flicker.
This scene is clearly the existence of the ship to send off guests!
"Haruko say something, is it safe?" At the same time, the fat man's slightly anxious voice came from outside the canopy.
I stayed in there a little bit of time, which made him anxious.
I got up, glanced at Bai Xiangyue, retreated, and returned to the stern.
"Is Haruko alright?" The fat man greeted him.
"What's going on inside?" Gua Ge was also concerned.
I shook my head and said it was okay, and said, "We're safe, the ghost ship will get us out of here." ”
"What's going on?" Brother Gua and the fat man cautiously glanced back at the inside of the canopy and asked in unison.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was better not to say anything about the coffin, and the existence of the boat only let me in, which meant that I didn't want them to know. It's certainly not a good thing to be talkative, at least not to say it to its face.
It shouldn't matter if Bai Xiangyue mentions it, so I said, "Bai Xiangyue is inside." ”
Brother Gua and the fat man glanced at each other, with shock in their eyes.
I shook my head slightly, signaling them not to ask any more questions, the occasion was not appropriate.
The two received the signal, nodded slowly, and didn't ask more, but made Ge Laohan suspicious, but he didn't dare to say more.
When the danger was lifted, we simply sat down at the stern of the boat, rowing and fighting all the way down, and to be honest, tired enough. When I'm nervous, I don't feel very much, but once I relax, I feel that my hands and feet are soft.
I looked up at the moon in the sky, and there was never a lack of moon in more than half a step, and every night was a full moon night. This is a bit strange, compared to the two worlds of yin and yang, the realm of more than half a step seems to be sandwiched in the middle.
The sun rises and the moon sets, there is day and night, and there is only the moon and no sun in more than half a step, but there is also a difference between day and night, but there is no sun during the day, which is equivalent to a cloudy day in the yang, and there is moonlight in the night, and the difference in light is not so obvious.
The underworld is completely part of the day and night, and it is always gray, just like the evening of the sun, when the sky is not dark.
"What is this half-step place, why is there no sun but moon, and there is no circle?" I asked them.
Gua Ge touched his chin and said: "More than half a step must be an independent space existence, and the existence of the underworld is a reason, maybe it is in a certain void, it can't shine on the sun, but it can shine on the whole moon." ”
"Then it's not on the surface." The fat man said.
Gua Ge was noncommittal and said: "I don't know too much, but the Buddha says that one flower is one world, one leaf is one Bodhi, I think that's probably what it means." ”
I nodded, he had some truth in what he said, maybe it was true.
……
The ghost ship kept moving forward, cleaving the waves and cutting through the heavy mist.
From time to time we will hear passing Yin beasts, large and small, but they all consciously or unconsciously stay away from the ghost ship.
There have even been several encounters with the Yin Beast herd, the size and size of which are also large and small, small hundreds, the big one is endless, and the water is all black, more than the previous one, and the body size is even larger.
As he walked, something bright suddenly appeared in the misty fog in front of him, shimmering.
When we walked in, we were shocked to find that it was a lighthouse!
A huge yin flame torch was erected above, and below the torch was a white stone tablet, jumping out of the water several feet high.
A few of us hurriedly ran to the side of the ship to look, and the ghost ship happened to pass by the lighthouse, only to see two murderous lines written on it: Forbidden Sea, idler returning.
The font is very ancient, but it is vaguely legible, and it can be read in a sentence, and if it is a single sentence, it may not be recognizable.
The font is powerful through the stele, the edges and corners are sharp, and there is a sense of sight in front of the sword soldiers, which is full of murderous spirit.
"The Forbidden Sea." Ge Laohan faintly sweated on his forehead, his face turned pale, and said: "It is the most central area of the Sea of Death, I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to really exist." ”
The fat man looked at the surrounding water and said, "There is a lighthouse here, and there is a shipping route!" ”
We instinctively looked over the water, and saw a current surging underneath the boat, heading into the distance.
"The ghost ship is drifting in the direction of the current, there is really a way!" Gua Ge was also surprised.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine, the ghost ship will keep us safe." I comforted Ge Laohan, he didn't know about Bai Xiangyue and me, and it was normal for him to play a drum in his heart.
But even though I said that, I actually muttered in my heart.
It stands to reason that if the ghost ship wants to save us, it should take us back to the sea, more than half a step back, so that it is safe there.
But it didn't, but it led us to the deepest part of the Sea of Death, which is now the Forbidden Sea. Just by listening to the name, and the murderous words on that lighthouse, you know that its goal is anything but good.
Bai Xiangyue is taboo in half a step, and there is a sea of taboos here. The word taboo seems to connect many things, and even the "person" in the guardian's mouth is taboo, and it is a taboo in the yin and yang worlds.
The so-called taboo is the existence that cannot be mentioned and must be forgotten.
It makes people's scalps tingle when they think about it, what kind of existence is it that is qualified to make both the yin and yang worlds taboo?
My thoughts wandered and my thoughts flowed.
The Yin-Yang boat kept walking, walking for more than an hour.
"Look, there's something up ahead!"
The fat man's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly pointed to the front and let out a low exclamation.
Gua Ge and I immediately got up and looked ahead, only to see the outline of an ancient city in the foggy depths ahead, and the towering walls were faintly recognizable.
"Could it be that the ghost ship has taken us back more than half a pace?" Old man Ge said strangely.
"More than half a step?" I frowned slightly, I couldn't see clearly, but I could confirm that it was a city.
The ghost ship kept moving forward, getting closer and closer, the fog getting thinner, and it didn't take long for the ancient city to become clearer.
It was a large black city, with a billowing demonic aura from above.
I widened my eyes, where is the big magic city that has disappeared for a long time! It has appeared here since it sank into a weak water swamp!
