Chapter 4: The Ghost Ship

Standing on the deck, feeling the oncoming sea breeze, smelling the salty seawater, a few white seabirds flew in the sky from time to time, and Wei Qing's heart was about to fly with them. She had lived in an inland city for as long as she could remember, and had never been to the sea, and this time she saw the sea for the first time. The sea was blue, and the calm of the sea was broken by their steamer, splashing layer upon layer of waves, and then gradually returning to calm, thus erasing the traces of their visit.

It was getting darker. Wei Qing looked into the distance, a small orange-yellow glowing dot at the western sea level was performing its end a little shyly and timidly, the whole sky was its stage, the sparkling sea was its audience, and the golden light on the waves was the sea applauding its performance. And the white point of light next to it has long been standing silently on the edge of the stage, waiting for the next performance.

"How's it going, isn't it beautiful? I want to scream?" Feng Xiao's peach blossom eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"Well, it's beautiful. Wei Qing stared intently at the sunset and sighed sincerely.

"So," Feng Xiao turned Wei Qing's head over and rubbed her eyebrows, "Don't frown anymore, otherwise you'll get old and ugly." ”

"Even if I'm old and ugly, I think I'll be liked. Although Wei Qing said this, she still reached out to smooth out her frowning brow.

Hehe, what you said at that time was much more confident than now.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Don't overthink it, maybe things aren't as bad as you think. And don't hold everything in your heart, say it, maybe the people around you will help you. Feng Xiao also looked at the fading sunset and said.

"But what should I do if the people around me find out, they will hate me, they will fear me, they will turn away from me, they may even expose me? I can't trust people with all my heart. Wei Qing was very afraid, afraid that the world would know that if she lost her bracelet, she would become a dry and rotten zongzi, whether it was an enemy or a friend, she didn't want them to know.

"Then, do you believe me?" Feng Xiao looked at Wei Qing's eyes seriously.

Although she has only met this Feng Xiao twice, she feels very relaxed with him, like a real relative, he can mercilessly reprimand her to correct her mistakes, but he can also tolerate her unscrupulous jokes and willful coquettishness. However, it was all just a feeling, after all, she didn't know him.

Feng Xiao saw that Wei Qing was still hesitating, he sighed softly in his heart, he had a long way to go. He stretched out the little thumb of his right hand and put it in front of Wei Qing: "That's it, you really can't hold it back one day, if you want to say it, just tell me." Trust me, I'll help you, okay?"

Wei Qing looked at his little thumb and clearly put on a hook posture, this kind of action really looked like a child, she also stretched out her little thumb to hook it, and smiled softly: "Okay." ”

"What are you talking about so lively?" At this time, Long Zheng stood behind Wei Qing and asked.

Wei Qing looked at Long Zheng and then at Feng Xiao, only to see Long Zheng raise his eyebrows and look at Feng Xiao, while the latter threw a wink at her. The two of them must have a good relationship, right?

Thinking of this, Wei Qing also thought of joking: "I heard that everyone in your tattoo organization has an animal tattoo pattern on their body. That's what I was about to ask, Long Zheng's tattoo was naturally on his face. So, Xiao, brother, brother~ Where is your tattoo pattern?"

Feng Xiao squinted his eyes and approached Wei Qing: "Do you want to see it?"

Wei Qing nodded, really curious.

"Then you're optimistic~"

"I'll show you. ”

Long Zheng and Feng Xiao both spoke at the same time. However, Long Zheng was faster, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Feng Xiao's shoulder, turned him around, and kicked him on his left buttocks.

"Oops~Don't be so violent~" Feng Xiao rubbed his ass and howled.

Long Zheng retreated to Wei Qing's side and asked in a low voice, "Did you see it?"

Wei Qing wondered, what did she see? She only saw the shoe prints on Feng Xiao's buttocks, hey, could it be that Feng Xiao's tattoo was on his buttocks? Wei Qing held back a smile, it really fit his character.

A dreamless night spent in a gently rocking cabin. Wei Qing woke up and looked at the sky outside from the window, it was still pitch black, she slept until she woke up naturally, she should have slept for a long time, why is it still so dark outside. She looked at the alarm clock at the bedside again, it was past ten o'clock in the morning, and it should have been bright outside. She hit a spirit, what's going on outside the sky?

As soon as Wei Qing walked out of the room, he heard several voices discussing something.

"Why don't you let her help. None of us can take the helm, and she just happens to have the smell of death on her, so it's just right for her to be at the helm. It was Feng Xiao's voice.

"It's too dangerous, those are dead souls, and if she is found by dead souls, the consequences are unimaginable. Long Zheng said coldly.

"But there's no other way to let our ship be taken away by the ghost ship. Feng Xiao was a little anxious.

"Why don't you let her take the helm, and the boss guards her behind?" it turned out that the scorpion was also with them.

What the hell are they talking about? All of them were so low that it looked like something big had happened.

"What are you talking about here?" Wei Qing walked out and asked aloud.

When several people saw her, they all stopped discussing with solemn faces. Feng Xiao was also rare and serious, he handed the telescope to Wei Qing, and pointed to the sea not far away and said, "We are about to reach the junction of the human world and the netherworld, where there is a sea route that belongs to the netherworld. ”

Wei Qing looked there through the telescope, and saw that there was a small black dot in the sea area gradually becoming clear. She adjusted the telescope a bit, and the little black dot turned into a black wooden boat, which looked tattered and old, some of the masts were rotten, and the cloth hanging from the masts was also black, mutilated, not a single piece of it was intact. The ship was unlit, and there was no one on board, and it was very dark and oozing. It was as if it had been abandoned by humans, drifting aimlessly on the sea. Combined with what Feng Xiao said just now, the ship was more like a sentinel in the Netherworld, wanting to intercept all people or things that broke into the forbidden land.

However, Wei Qing took the telescope down, and the ship didn't seem to be aimless, it was getting closer and closer to their ship.

"Can't you avoid it and go around somewhere else?" Wei Qing frowned.

"There's no time. Long Zheng replied: "Legend has it that the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet is only open for three days, and if we go around, we will inevitably delay time on the road, and if we can't get out in these three days, we will be locked up there for three hundred years." ”

"When will the Arctic Ark be opened?"

"According to our calculations, it should be the day after tomorrow. ”

The day after tomorrow, time is indeed pressing.

Wei Qing lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head and looked at them firmly: "To be honest, I heard everything you just said. ”

Several people were stunned, but quickly, the corners of Feng Xiao's mouth tugged and smiled slightly, Long Zheng frowned with a heavy face, and the scorpion was still expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

"So, what do you need me to do?"

"You're at the helm. ”
