Chapter 719: The Source of the Ghost Ship

"Uncle Zheng is here!"

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, and the islanders who were singing and dancing around us flashed to the side and made way for a passage.

But I saw an old man with white hair, walking slowly towards us with a cane.

The old man was clumsy, his face was wrinkled, and he was at least seventy or eighty years old, but he walked very vigorously and looked in good spirits.

Behind him, there were two young and strong men with solemn faces.

"Guests from afar, welcome to Paradise Island."

Coming to us, the old man smiled and said, "I am the person in charge of this island, Zheng Dongguo, if you have any needs, you can open your mouth to the old man." ”

I bowed my hand and said in a deep voice: "I am so grateful that I was able to pick up a life thanks to the ferry sent by your island, and I am so grateful!" ”

On the surface, I was thankful, but in fact I wanted to inquire about the relationship between the ghost ship and Paradise Island.

From the appearance of the ghost ship to the time it carried us to Paradise Island, the whole purpose was very clear, although there was no one on it, but behind the ghost ship, there was obviously a mysterious force manipulating.

If this force comes from Paradise Island, then they must have some purpose, and we must be careful not to be deceived by the simple and innocent appearance of these islanders.

"Oh, you mean the Vostok, right?"

Zheng Dongguo didn't deny it, just stroked his beard and smiled.

"Counting it, today also happens to be the day when the Vostokes go to sea, what a coincidence, it is really a providence that you can come to my paradise island."

Uncle Zheng's words made us confused, I didn't understand what he meant, I was about to continue to ask, but Uncle Zheng waved his hand directly.

"Okay, this is not a place for small talk, how about you move to the council hall and talk?"

The old man was so hospitable that it seemed to be trying to explain some details to us, and Lonnie and I looked at each other and agreed to the old man's request.

"Then thank you Uncle Zheng."

Immediately, Zheng Dongguo turned around and led us through the main road of the town to an empty square.

Around the square, a circle of walls is piled up with mountain stones, which is four or five meters high.

Outside the main entrance, a stone statue seven or eight meters high is enshrined.

The stone statue was dressed in a robe, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, giving people the impression of a fairy wind and bones, and judging from the outfit, it seemed to be a cultivator from Huaxia.

Inside the wall, several wooden buildings rise from the ground and are connected together, covering an area of at least 1,000 square meters.

Passing through the main entrance of the wall, Zheng Dongguo led us into the main hall of the wooden building in the middle.

"Please be seated, this is the council hall of our paradise island."

Standing in the center of the extremely empty hall, Zheng Dongguo pointed to the wooden chairs placed on both sides and said with a smile.

"Uncle Zheng, is that Dongfang really sent by your Paradise Island?"

Once I sat down, I went straight to the point without too much politeness and asked the questions I was most concerned about.

"How can a mortal be able to control an abandoned ship?"

Zheng Dongguo said with a smile: "This is controlled by God's will." ”

"Okay, I know my words might be a bit confusing to you, so let me start at the beginning."

Seeing our doubts, Zheng Dongguo smiled faintly and began to tell his origins.

"More than 50 years ago, there was a ferry from Shencheng to America for an investigation visit, and I was the first mate of the Vostok."

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect Zheng Dongguo to be the first mate of the missing ferry, spanning fifty years, but becoming the principal of Paradise Island.

Come to think of it, for so many years, he must have known many secrets in his heart that others don't know, and maybe he can find out the secrets of overseas immortal islands from his mouth.

Thinking of this, I suppressed my curiosity and patiently listened to him continue.

"At that time, there were nearly 1,000 people on the ferry, many of whom were going to sea for the first time, so they couldn't help but be very excited, and every day was very lively."

"However, the good times were short-lived, and as we sailed to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a great storm swept in, enveloping the Vostok in a raging storm."

"In order to avoid being swallowed by the storm, we tried our best to get out of the storm, but as a result, we also deviated from course and lost contact with the outside world."

"Just when everyone was in shock, a terrifying sea monster suddenly appeared, which completely plunged the Vostok!"

"That sea monster, the size of a mountain, with a pair of giant eyes like laser lights, covered with tentacles, many people did not have time to escape, they were swept into the sea by the sea monster......"

Listening to Zheng Dongguo's narration, I couldn't help but squint my eyes.

Judging from his description of the sea monster's appearance, the sea monster that caused the Vostok's sinking seems to be the same one we encountered!

If these two are really the same one, then I really need to refresh my perception of this sea monster.

More than 50 years ago, it had grown to the size of a mountain, making waves in the ocean, so its age should be far beyond our understanding.

Such a sea monster may be some kind of ancient creature, perhaps the same era as the immortals.

"After devouring hundreds of people, the sea monster entangled the Vostok again, intending to pull the entire ship to the bottom of the sea......

While I was immersed in my thoughts, Zheng Dongguo continued his story.

"At that time, in order to escape for their lives, many people jumped into the sea regardless of it, and they were soon swallowed by the waves, but because of fear, I just clung to the guardrail, did not dare to let go for a moment, and quietly waited for the moment of death to come."

"Seeing that the Vostok was about to sink completely, but at this moment, at the intersection of the sea and the sky in the distance, a golden light suddenly flashed, shooting towards where we were."

"The light was so strong that I could only lower my head and couldn't make eye contact with it, and after a while, when I opened my eyes again, I saw an immortal standing above my head!"

My pupils shrank: "Immortals? Are you sure? ”

"That's right, it's an immortal!"

Zheng Dongguo said firmly: "At that time, that immortal was wearing a white robe, and a golden light emanated from the top of his head, and the whole person was floating quietly in the air like that, isn't it an immortal?" ”

I didn't press on, but let him continue.

"With a flick of the immortal's finger, a golden light shot out and went straight into the sea monster's body, and the sea monster suddenly let out a miserable scream, directly let go of the tentacles that were entanglement with the Dongfang, and slowly sank into the deep sea."

"In this way, I and the remaining hundreds of crew members and passengers escaped death and saved a life."
