Volume 2 The Eye of the Deep Chapter 23 The Art of Stargazing and Pulse
The shocking scene just now made several of us feel cold. It suddenly occurred to me that we didn't need guns anymore, we needed at least rocket artillery and even a cruiser.
The second uncle stammered a little when he spoke, "Old, old Lei, let's hurry, let's go!" The giant octopus was killed in seconds, and we didn't have enough for it. ”
The old thunder head was more calm, "It's okay, don't worry." A giant fish of that size can't look down on us. The sea has its own rules, and this large sea creature has its own goals and generally does not attack humans easily. But it doesn't hurt to be careful. With that, the old thunderhead entered the cockpit, sped up the ship, and sailed away from the sea.
We followed the path of the storm until noon the next day. We are finally free from the storm. We're back on the same route.
After the second uncle and the old thunder head discussed, they decided to go to the Windless Island to rest before moving on. We're going to take stock of the damaged cargo, and we're going to have to inspect and repair the storm-damaged hull.
At this time, the sea was calm, and we drove very smoothly, and it was not very long, and we saw the island in front of us. This is the Windless Island. But in the distance, we saw that a ship had been stranded on a small reef very close to the island, and judging by the age of the ship, the ship must have been a victim of the storm not long after the accident.
As the old thunder head said, in the process of approaching the windless island, we found that there are indeed many open reefs and reefs here, and if we came here rashly during the storm, I am afraid that we will end up with the same fate as that ship.
However, in the current climate, with the experience and technology of the old thunderhead, it is really easy to cross these reefs.
When we were still some distance from the island, we stopped the boat. The old thunder head lowered the anchor and fixed the ship.
Because the water here is already relatively shallow, if our boat goes further inside, there is a possibility that it will hit the bottom. So we decided to kayak to the island.
The four of us were in a kayak, and when we passed by the stranded ship, the old thunderhead told us that most of the hull of the ship was stranded on the reef, and that it should have been washed here by the huge waves of the storm, and the hull hit the reef heavily, and the ship was completely scrapped.
We went around to the side of the ship, and the second uncle shouted into the cabin: "Is there anyone?" But no one responded.
"Maybe the people on the boat went to the island." I speculated, "Shall we get on the boat first?" ”
Old Lei Tou waved his hand, "It's better not to do it yet, if the people on the boat are on the island, let's rush on the ship, it may cause unnecessary conflicts." ”
I nodded, thinking that what the old thunder head said made sense. We thought it would be better to go to the island first.
It is said to be called an island, but it is actually a huge reef, but the area of the windless island is not large, and it is about a dozen acres by sight, and you can see the head at a glance when you stand on the island. Because of this, we can be sure that there is no one on the island. It also means that the people on the ship are not on the island. Have they already left?
After the old thunder head sent the three of us to the island, he returned to the ship to check the damage to the ship's hull. The three of us stayed on the island and pitched our tents. To be honest, I really miss this feeling of land. In the words of the second uncle, he feels like he is shaking when he steps on the ground now. So we decided to camp on the island tonight.
Despite the season, the chill is already noticeable in the air. But the storm had just passed, and the weather was fine, and we stood on the island and watched, and it was evening, and the sparkling waves of the sea reflected the orange-red and round sunset, and after a while, the sunset was hidden under the clouds, and half the day was burned red. I can't help but think of Liu Yuxi's poem in the Tang Dynasty: The rain breaks and the sunset is bright, and the wind is clear at night. The moon height is slightly faint, and the clouds are thin and thin. In addition, the sea and sky are boundless, which is really refreshing!
Just when I was still immersed in this magnificent beauty, I suddenly heard the shout of the old thunder head coming from the shore: "Come on! There's a dead man in that boat! ”
I was shocked, and hurriedly followed the second uncle and Wenmo and ran towards the shore.
As soon as Lao Lei saw us, he panted and said: "I, when I was repairing the ship just now, I found that there was a lack of parts, and I wondered if there would be one in this ship, anyway, people would throw it here." I was going to go on the boat to look for it, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the cabin, I saw a person lying inside, I called him a few times, but there was no response, so I reached out and sniffed, Mom! It's out of gas! Aren't I going to run out quickly! ”
In fact, I didn't feel much surprise in my heart, after all, the boat had an accident, and it was possible to have casualties, but although the old thunder head was an old fisherman and had experienced a lot of things in the sea, this dead man was not as much as our group, so he was very flustered.
So we decided to go with him, and the three of us got on the kayaks and rowed towards the stranded boat.
When I boarded the ship, I saw a man lying upright on the ground as soon as I entered the cabin. When I looked at that person's face, my heart was overturned, and I looked at the second uncle, and his face also changed.
Because of this dead man lying on the ground, I have seen my second uncle. I remembered the An Ye I met at the hotel, and the person who died was one of the two bodyguards next to An Ye.
The second uncle sighed and said, "It seems that we have met acquaintances." ”
I asked the second uncle, "Where did that An Ye go?" Not on the boat, not on the island. ”
The second uncle sneered, "This old fox will definitely have two hands to prepare, and there is definitely more than one ship for them to go to sea." ”
I was a little worried, "Let's ...... then."
The second uncle waved his hand, "Don't worry, anyway, the destination is the same, and sooner or later you will meet it." It's useless to worry. Let's take one step at a time, who will live to find it is not certain! ”
Wen Mo crouched down and took a closer look at the man on the ground, and found a serious scar on the back of his head, which we speculated should be fatal. It should be that in the storm, when the person fell, he hit the back of the head, so he died.
People are really fragile, two days ago was still alive and kicking a person, we were still drinking tea together, although this person and we are friends and foes, but I still can't help but feel a little emotional.
Suddenly, Wen Mo, who was squatting on the ground, let out a "huh", only to see him bow his head and take out a roll of something similar to a drawing from the crack in the box.
At this time, the old thunder head said: "While you are here, I will go to the rear cabin to find out if there is anything that can be used." With that, he left.
After the old thunder head left, we opened the scroll of drawings, and we realized that this was not a drawing at all, it was a map. However, it is not an ordinary road map, but a topographic map of the undersea continental shelf.
Now we didn't quite understand, so I said, "Could it be that they are here for scientific research?" ”
The second uncle snorted, "Yuan An, that old rake, he came for a scientific expedition?" Unless all the tombs in the world are hollowed out by him! The second uncle rolled up the map again and put it away, "Forget it, go back and study it slowly." ”
At this time, the old thunderhead also found the parts he needed, and we didn't find anything else, so we left the ship. We first went back to our boat, got some ingredients and pots, and prepared to go back to the island to make a fire to cook.
But the old thunder head did not plan to get off the boat, he said that he had to stay and watch the ship, lest anyone come again at night and drive the boat away, and we would not know. In addition, he said that he was old, and he was a little tired after more than two days of tossing, and he slept more soundly on the boat. Also there were spare alcohol stoves and pots on board so we didn't have to worry. We repeatedly invited, but the old thunder head politely refused, so we no longer insisted, and told him to rest early, and then went back to the island.
That night, we had a good time, eating hot pot and drinking wine in the sea breeze and waves. After drinking and eating, Wen Mo went into the tent and went to sleep. I felt that going to bed so early was really a negative time, and my second uncle and I were lying on the mat, looking at the stars in the sky.
The second uncle pointed to a star in the sky and asked, "Big nephew, do you know what star it is?" ”
I was a little dizzy from drinking, so I casually said, "Polaris? ”
"Nonsense!" The second uncle waved his hand.
I looked at it again, "It can't be the Big Dipper!" ”
"Fart!" The second uncle got up and glared at me, "You kid is too embarrassed to give us Qiu Zhonglang!" ”
I was a little curious, "What will happen to our Faqiu Zhonglang?" ”
The second uncle jumped up when he heard this, "What's the relationship?!" The relationship is big! I think it's necessary for me to tell you about the art of stargazing and fixing the pulse of our Faqiu! ”
"Stargazing?"
"Yes!" The second uncle nodded heavily, his face full of pride, "That's the secret technique of our Faqiu Zhonglang General!" Known as the ancestor of all arts! That's from antiquity! ”
Speaking of this, the second uncle's interest was very high, and he described in detail the stargazing and pulse determination technique of Faqiu......
Stargazing, as the name suggests, is to determine the trend of the world's veins by observing the stars. Faqiu Yimen believes that the movement of the stars in the sky is closely related to various human activities.
The five symbols of the stars in the sky correspond to the five directions of the east, west, north, south, and center on the earth, the twelve main stars correspond to the twelve months, and the twelve earthly stars correspond to the twelve hours.
The sky is like a dome, the earth is like a chessboard, the sky is round and the place is round, up and down, and the cycle is endless. The art of stargazing and fixing the pulse believes that heaven and earth are one, the heavenly veins correspond to the earth's veins, and the celestial stars correspond to the earth's stars. The rotation of the stars drives the earth's leyline aura. That is, the sky moves, the location changes, and people change.
Just like what we now call the magnetic field, the changing movement of various stars in the universe will affect the surrounding magnetic field, and this change will cause a chain reaction that is endless. Eventually, the life inside the star, including the creatures on the star, will be affected and changed. The art of stargazing and fixing the pulse, when you reach the initial realm, you can use it to determine the pulse of the world, find the trend of the dragon vein, and when you reach a higher realm, you can observe the qi veins of the world and gain insight into the pattern of the world. When you reach the ultimate realm, you can even follow the direction of the stars, change the context of the world, and determine the pattern of the world. It's called stepping out of history.
