Chapter 367: Hourglass Space
"So, when I sat in this wheelchair, it was not because of a disability in my legs, but because of this strange disease, I didn't dare to walk the full 999 steps. Ren Shui said coldly, and when he saw that Wei Xiao's teacup was empty, he picked up the teapot again and added water to his cup.
Wei Xiao couldn't comfort him at this time, so he could only sigh.
It is expected that these words of comfort have been heard enough by this wealthy family on the eight seas.
Ren Shuihan added water to his cup again, and continued: "Although I am fine at this time, when I think of the pain at the time of the onset of the disease, it is like a sharp sword hanging above my head, which will fall at any time, and I dare not touch the ground, this kind of worry and fear is a hundred times more tormenting than when the disease occurs, Brother Wei, do you understand?"
As he spoke, he clenched his hand into a fist and put it under his mouth and coughed lightly twice.
Wei Xiao saw that his face was pale, his body was wrapped in a thick sable fur, and his hair looked thinner, so he couldn't help but say: "Brother Ren's body is so weak, why don't I go and talk to Jiang Laojiao, and ask him to instruct the sailor to buy you a charcoal brazier and bring some firewood." ”
Ren Shuihan hurriedly raised his palm and shook it.
"The further forward this goes, the colder the weather becomes, those sailors brave the snow to sail, it is not easy, and they need firewood to keep warm, I am still in the room, I can still bear it, I don't know how cold the weather will be, don't consume the already small amount of firewood!"
Wei Xiao's heart moved: "Brother Ren also knows the story in the "Maritime Book"?"
Ren Shuihan smiled: "The little brother was born in a family on the sea, how can you not know these stories?"
Wei Xiao said: "How could that military ship carrying two or three thousand people suddenly disappear at sea, what does Brother Ren think?"
Ren Shuihan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have only heard a lot about the shipwreck at sea, it is nothing more than a storm, a demon beast, the ship was overturned, and sank to the bottom of the sea, but there will be some traces left on the sea, and most of the shipwrecks can be found." It seems that such a big ship miraculously disappeared out of thin air, maybe it went to another dimension?"
Wei Xiao said: "I have also considered this possibility, but if such a space really exists, why have I never heard of it before?"
Ren Shuihan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wei, have you ever heard of the hourglass space?"
Wei Xiao frowned: "Hourglass space?"
Ren Shuihan got up, sat back on the wheelchair, turned the wheelchair, and picked up a transparent crystal hourglass from the table, which contained blue fine sand and white light.
Ren Shuihan turned around, faced Wei Xiao, and said, "On the eight seas, there has always been a legend. Legend has it that above the East Pole Sea, there is a huge space corresponding to it, and the two spaces are almost exactly the same size, but they are connected by a narrow passage in between. ”
He used his long, pale finger to point at the narrowest point in the middle of the hourglass, "Just like here." ”
Moving his finger down, he pointed to the blue sand at the bottom of the hourglass: "Legend has it that the Poseidon Palace standing at the bottom of the East Pole is like the blue sand at the bottom, these two spaces can be reversed from each other, if one day the space is flipped, then the Poseidon Palace will hang upside down in the zenith, like this." ”
Ren Shuihan flipped his wrist and flipped the hourglass over, and the blue sand at the bottom flipped to the top and fell.
"These two huge spaces are actually confined to each other, and only the narrowest place in the middle is the only passage that can lead to two spaces at the same time. ”
Wei Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I already understand what Brother Ren means. Could it be that the warship sailing on the sea happened to be at the junction of two of the narrowest spaces, and when the space was flipped, it unfortunately fell into another space?"
Ren Shuihan nodded and said, "Exactly!"
Wei Xiao frowned and said, "Could it be that this military ship will also be hanging upside down in the zenith at this moment?"
Ren Shuihan smiled slightly: "The zenith boat, the sun and the moon are under it, isn't it interesting?"
Wei Xiao smiled bitterly: "I'm worried that they will fall off the boat." ”
Ren Shuihan said lightly: "Life and death have fate, leave everything to fate." ”
Wei Xiao smiled and said, "This is not the first time I have heard this sentence, it seems that it is quite popular among seafarers." ”
Ren Shuihan put the crystal hourglass in his hand on the table, and said, "I answered Brother Wei's question?"
Wei Xiao shook his head: "This hourglass space can't explain why that military ship sent out two cannons in a hurry. ”
Ren Shuihan said with a smile: "Maybe it was the sailors on the ship who suddenly saw the wonders of the two spaces in it, and they were panicked, mortals are always like this, making a fuss about strange things that they have never seen before." ”
Wei Xiao smiled: "Maybe." ”
The two of them were silent for a moment, and the blue sand in the crystal hourglass shone quietly.
For some reason, this seemingly simple hourglass impressed Wei Xiao.
Ren Shuihan said: "I said earlier that I have gained a lot of unknown benefits because of this disease, one of which is that I can always see some strange scenes in front of me. ”
Wei Xiao said: "There is such a thing?"
Ren Shuihan nodded, and said: "For example, when I was a child, I somehow saw my little brother digging bird eggs on the tree, falling down and breaking his leg, so I told my father, my father and mother said how is it possible, my little brother is obviously in school at this time with the strictest private school Mr. to do homework, sure enough, at dinnertime, my little brother came back well, my father and mother said that my child's house must have seen some unclean filth, was confused, so he offered a bowl of water in front of the Buddha, and then cleaned my eyes the next day." ”
Wei Xiao smiled: "You suffered a lot of sins because of this illness when you were young. ”
Ren Shuihan sighed: "I feel uncomfortable when I think about it now, when I think about the water when I rinse my eyes." But that day when it was time to get out of school, but I didn't see my little brother come back, my father and mother were anxious, sent someone to the school to investigate, and when it was time to hold the lamp, the little brother limped back, it turned out to be the little brother with the best friend to play skipping school together, went up the tree to pick the bird's egg but unfortunately fell down, broke his leg. ”
When Wei Xiao heard this, he frowned: "Really?"
Ren Shuihan nodded and said, "My father and mother didn't believe it at first, but when they saw this situation, they believed it seven or eight points. ”
"Later, when I grew up, I had relatives who wanted to go to sea, I saw a whirlwind blowing on the sea, blowing the mast off, and the boat turned and sank into the bottom of the sea, my father and mother did everything possible to keep the relatives, saying that the relatives were busy on weekdays, and it was rare to move around, and they lived for two more days. ”
"My father and mother were stunned, so they told their relatives about it as it was, so that everyone in my family knew about my ability to foresee and foresee, but it was not good for outsiders. ”
Wei Xiao said: "This ability in your body reminds me of a person. ”
Ren Shuihan said: "Oh? There are still people like me?"
Wei Xiao said: "That person also has the skill of foresight, but he doesn't have it at any time, and he is talented, but it is not inspired by an acquired illness like you." ”
Ren Shuihan smiled: "I often think that maybe my illness will be cured, and this ability will disappear." Moreover, my ability only works on relatives or relatives at home, but it has no effect on people around me, and I can only foresee danger, and nothing else. ”
Wei Xiao said: "In this way, you are indeed different from him. ”
Ren Shui's cold face suddenly turned grim, and said, "But recently, I often see a person who I don't know in my life in danger!"
Wei Xiao said: "You don't know this person at all?"
Ren Shuihan nodded slowly.
Wei Xiao said, "What does this person look like?"
Ren Shuihan recalled: "She is a girl, with dark skin, she looks like she grew up by the sea, with long curly hair like seaweed, a dragon tooth hanging from her neck, and a dress made of fish skin, revealing her slender thighs and arms. ”
Wei Xiao lost her voice and said, "Really?"
Ren Shuihan said: "Brother Wei knows?"
Wei Xiao said: "She is on this boat, she is a pearl girl." ”
Ren Shuihan frowned: "I'm afraid that she is about to face the danger of life and death!"
Wei Xiao said, "What did you see?"
Ren Shuihan's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "I saw her wearing a water-repellent bead, walking on the deep seabed, the sea water around her was as thick as ink, she walked carefully, the sea water flowed silently around her, and the colorful light emitted by the corals and aquatic plants on the bottom of the sea shone on her face, making her face look a little pale. ”
His voice was low, and his eyes were slightly confused, as if he had fallen into those pictures again.
Wei Xiao said: "What else?"
Ren Shuihan said dreamily: "I think she is a little nervous, because she looks back from time to time, and her breathing is a little short. Sometimes I thought she saw me from her widening eyes, but she stared for a moment, then quickly turned her head away as if nothing had happened, and went on. ”
"She was barefoot, stepping on the soft white sand of the seabed, and her hair fluttered like seaweed. Then," Ren Shuihan's voice suddenly became a little nervous: "She suddenly bent down, looking a little painful, her right ankle was cut by sea thorns growing in the sand, blood flowed out of her beautiful foot, she squatted on the ground, took out a small piece of waterproof adhesive tape, stuck it on her ankle, stood up and continued to walk forward. ”
Wei Xiao was gradually brought into the scene by his extremely infectious words, and said, "And then?"
"Then," Ren Shuihan said, "she took two more steps forward, but her hair was suddenly hooked by the seaweed, she brushed her hair, and found that she still couldn't pull it off, so she took a knife and cut off the strand of hair, and continued to walk forward." ”
She kept walking, and a huge pink light suddenly burst out from the deep black water, illuminating the entire sea water!" Ren Shuihan's voice suddenly became slightly nervous: " My eyes followed her back, and walked a few steps forward, to the brightest place, only to find that there was a stone not far ahead, a concave piece in the middle, similar to a stone pillow, the concave place, just embedded in a huge white jade clam, this kind of shell I know, its size can almost be used as a baby bath, its two shells in the sea gently open and close, revealing a huge round pink pearl, the light that shines on the bottom of the sea, is the huge pearl emitted. ”
"This kind of snow-white jade and such a huge clams, hidden deep in the deepest seabed, is very rare and precious, the value should be more than 20,000 taels of gold, and there is no market, because it is said that the two shells of its two shells are so powerful that they can easily break the iron chain of the anchor, so throughout the ages, few people dare to catch it. But what is more precious than it is the huge pink pearl held up between its two scallops, that pearl, like a beautiful tear hidden deep in the bottom of the East Pole seabed, let's estimate it as a beautiful tear, its value, at least ten times more than the clams that wrap it!"
Wei Xiao exclaimed: "Two hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Ren Shuihan nodded: "The so-called bad water produces good pearls, and places with different pearls are always extremely dangerous, so a fisherman's girl, if she chooses to be a pearl girl, she must be prepared to go to the dive mansion every time she sinks and has no return." ”
He said in a faint voice: "The pearl of a thousand gold will be in the abyss of the ninefold, under the jaw of the dragon." Such a precious pearl, it is surrounded by a huge yellow dragon, the dragon surrounded the white jade clams and the tears of beauty, the dragon's head is around the left side of the clams, deep and sleeping, two long dragon whiskers with its breath together. ”
"I looked at the dragon, it breathed in and out, swallowing the pink aura from the tears of the beauty, its eyes were closed, but it seemed to wake up at any moment!"
"At this time, I saw Zhenzhen pull out the silver dagger from his waist at once, walk towards the beauty tears step by step with his bare feet, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat!"
