If the death of the Rose Garden is comparable to a massacre, then the "Rose and the Skull" will face a brutal gravedigger!
On the first night after the destruction of the rose garden, the wind and clouds surged, the weather changed, and the original "smiling face" in the sky switched to the angry face of a menopausal womanβa face like a black pot! The sky and the earth were black and endless, and five thunders thundered, lightning and thunder roared, and then the storm raged, and the black waves on the sea were monstrous, dancing with the wind, like thousands of devils stretching out, and then slapping and slapping and slapping!
Of course, nothing could be seen in the darkness by the faint light of the stone lamp, and no one was in the mood to see it, because the busy ones were so busy that they almost fell into the sea (palms, mending boats, directing, etc.), and the frightened and those who could not help hid in the corners of the cabins, praying, and being shaken around like the dice of a drunkard's dice! The mast was broken, the ship leaked, the ship was almost overturned, and all kinds of unimaginable trials were in the midst of this storm!
It was natural to see how sad the night was for them, and the most important thing was that they all survived until the weather improved, which was already noon the next day. Everything has passed, the sky has returned to its original smiling face, a mocking expression, many people look up blankly, I don't know whether it is the happiness of immortality or the inexplicable sadness, anyway, their hearts are actually not the same wind and waves? Even if this kind of weather, for these sailors, is almost as ordinary as changing clothes, but every time after changing clothes, who does not look in front of the mirror for a long time?
After this storm, they looked at the wolf ship, and found that the losses were as heavy as usual, and what was even more terrible was that several crew members were swept into the sea, so although everyone still joked, their hearts were actually very heavy. People who have experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life in this way will inevitably become numb. It was a miracle that the ship was "alive" after being beaten like this, and although the crew tried their best to repair it, they were very short of materials after all, and many of them were swept into the sea, so they had to find a port or island to repair the ship, otherwise they would not be able to continue the journey to the source of the Holy Spirit.
Now, no one is sure where the ship has drifted, and there is a vast expanse of black water in all directions, and without a compass rose, they are blind! They gathered on the deck and discussed countermeasures, but it seemed that no one had anything to say, and it was more like a memorial service.
The one-eyed baby was the first to break the silence: "What now, where do I go?"
Amu said: "You don't know where this is, what else are you talking about where to go?"
Wu Liang said: "When the sun or moon comes out, we will know a general directionγγγγγγ "As a crew member, this should be a matter of common sense, but this is the Black Sea, and they have compass roses, so they actually learn very little about this kind of thing, and the "compass" is useless in the Black Sea, because the magnetic field here is very chaotic, and the pointer will be broken immediately if you put it here! But this kind of common sense like "the sun rises in the east" even a three-year-old child knows. And they're crew members, at least they know a lot about sailing, after all, it's not the first day they've been here.
The one-eyed baby sneered: "This is a fart, our ship is almost finished, who knows how far we can go? besides, there is bad news for you: most of our food and fresh water have been washed into the sea!
Wu Liang said: "I measured the direction last night, and the wind just blew us towards the side of Half Immortal Island, we can drive there to repair it." "Half-immortal island is also an island country in the East Black Sea, the area is much larger, where the immortal aura lingers, and people live a kind of half-immortal and half-human life, that is, they put their body and spirit into their only belief - cultivating immortals!
The one-eyed baby said, "Tell me where it is, where is it?"
Wu Liang said: "I don't know until I watch the sky at nightγγγγγγγγ β
The one-eyed baby said: "You can only blow, who knows when the stars will come out in this weather?"
Makes sense, hit the nail on the head!
"I'm not afraidβ" It wasn't anyone else but their legendary captain Rose, "I know where the strange island isβ" He took out a clay basin, the roses in which had long since withered, but he stuck the roses in his own grip on it.
The one-eyed baby was shocked and puzzled: "This is γγγγγγγ β
Rosewood laughed and said, "Don't you know that I have roses on me too?"
Amu looked disdainfully and said: "What's the use of this, it's not a compass rose!"
"Of course not, this is the Sea Fairy Rose, which can sense the existence of immortal energy thousands of miles away." β
Amu touched his chin and said, "In other words, it can feel the immortal qiγγγγγγγ β
Rosewood smiled, "Don't believe itβ"
The Sea Fairy Rose had been haggard in the mouth of the Rose, but as soon as it was inserted into the dirt, it quickly came back to life, and then it turned around and pointed in one direction like a compass - the Half-Fairy Island! Then, the color of the petals changed from red to flower, indicating that the destination was not far from here. But after a while it began to sway slightly, but not by a large margin, so the general direction was still recognizable.
Silly Star screamed, "It's such a beautiful and magical flower~~~" Her eyes probably turned rosy - if someone gave him this flower, it would be difficult to succeed!
Tao Xiaozhi sighed and said, "Now it's okay, it's become a 'compass rose'!"
"Okay, now the whole crew will listen to meβmarch to Half-Immortal Island!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "Then what should we do when we go to the source of the Holy Spirit?"
"Then let's talk about it when we get to the Half-Immortal Island, who knows if we still have the life to reach the source of the Holy Spirit alive?"
Wu Liang seemed to ponder for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I can't go to Half Immortal Islandβ"
The one-eyed baby said, "If you don't go, are you waiting here to die?"
Wu Liang said, "Haven't you heard what happened on Half Immortal Island?"
The one-eyed baby wondered, "That can't be true, rightγγγγγγγγ β
Wu Liang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "I'd rather believe it than believe it." β
Tao Xiaozhi said: "What's wrong with it?"
The one-eyed baby preemptively said strangely: "I heard that the place is being invaded by the ghostly qi, and the fairy qi is being swallowed little by littleγγγγγγγ β
Amu scratched his head and said, "How did this ghostly aura come out?
Wu Liang said: "Let me ask you: Where is the strongest ghost qi in this world?"
Amu said: "It seems to be Ghost Island, where have I been, as a ghost, the 'air' there is really unbearableγγγγγγγ β
Wu Liang nodded and said, "Yes, it's there." β
Amu said: "If I remember correctly, Ghost Island is in the Western Black Sea, and Demi-Immortal Island is in the Eastern Black Seaγγγγγγ It's supposed to be a long way away, but how did it come here? Did the wind blow it?"
Wu Liang said: "The Western Black Sea is the real Dead Sea, there is almost no wind all year round, and there is no strong wind, so the power of ships is generally manpoweredγγγγγγ Even if there is wind, and the wind is strong enough, it will not blow away such a thing as 'ghost'γγγγγγ β
Amu said: "Why?"
Wu Liang said: "Because the ghost qi is originally something that cannot be seen or touched, only the underworld such as ghosts can really feel its existence, ordinary people can't stand this kind of gas, if you inhale too much, it will be like poison gas poisoning or suffocationγγγγγγγ So the wind can't actually take away the ghostly atmosphere. β
Amu said: "Then how did it get to the East Black Sea?"
Wu Liang's face was clouded, and he said solemnly: "Of course, this has something to do with the master there-"
"Is it the ghost master?" Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed.
Wu Liang said: "Yes, the ghost qi was brought by her!"
Amu said: "Why did she do this? Could it be that she has a grudge against the Half-Immortal Island?"
Wu Liang sneered, "Have you ever heard of her 'Ghost Empire Territory Project'?"
Amu was shocked: "She wants to invade Half-Immortal Island?!" In fact, everyone present had the same expression as Amu.
Wu Liang said: "She is not an old woman who likes to lie in a rocking chair and watch the sunset, her ambition is not ordinary, it is comparable to the current Demon Emperor Night Crescent!"
The one-eyed baby sneered: "This is called 'Lao Ji Fu Fang, aiming for a thousand miles'!"
Wu Liang said: "So, now that the immortal qi of the Demi-Immortal Island is being polluted, the people (De-Immortals) there have to give up their daily immortal cultivation activities, and all the people are soldiers, preparing for the battle with the Ghost Island! So, when we go there, aren't we short-circuiting? If others don't treat us as spies, they are enemies!"
Silly Star sighed and said, "The Demon Domain and the Holy Spirit Source are fighting, and that restless old woman is making trouble everywhere, it's a mess in the world!"
Tao Xiaozhi said: "But if I don't go to Half Immortal Island, where else can I go?"
This is obviously a good question, a reality that cannot be escaped.
Wu Liang said self-deprecatingly: "This seems to be the only way." β
