Chapter 188: The Secret of the Bilge
Li Daoxuan has a brain, but he is too lazy to move.
Don't want to use it!
Not to mention that the ghost ship was already going fast, and it was even about to pass through the Storm Zone.
And whether it's from the crew of the ghost ship, or from the hints on the panel, this storm zone will be experienced next......
It's dangerous.
No one even knows what will happen after that.
Instead of analyzing little by little, to peel off the cocoon.
It's better to cut through the mess with a quick knife, but it's better to capture the thief directly and capture the king first.
After destroying this captain, let's look at the rest.
So after Li Daoxuan finished asking, several people looked intently at the captain of the ghost ship in front of them.
And the latter was also a little confused, and even a little incredulous.
"You ...... What are you talking about? The captain was a little surprised.
Li Daoxuan just wanted to repeat a sentence, but at this moment, a tall man suddenly walked in from behind him, and he shouted angrily.
"You thieves, what nonsense you say, if you want to die, just say it!"
After speaking, he was about to smash Tan Xiao's head with a fist the size of a sandbag.
Tan Xiao's eyes were quick, and he directly took out a rune paper from Sumeru, and he had no doubt that if this punch hit his head, he, a Taoist priest, would die.
But it's about to be smashed.
The fist was stopped by the other hand.
It's still easy to stop.
Li Daoxuan looked at the bearded man in front of him who looked seven or eight points similar to the captain, and five or six points similar to the old sailor he saw at the bottom before, and said seriously:
"Just talk well, don't do it without saying a word, otherwise I'll let you know why the flowers are so red!"
The bearded man struggled a few times, but Li Daoxuan squeezed his fist but did not react at all.
"Everyone is out to eat, you have good skin, that's why you can stand here, provoking us outlaw sailors, you see who suffers!"
Although Li Daoxuan is not good at directly dealing with these people on the ship, he can still threaten anything.
Anyway, it's all two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom!
After speaking, he pushed hard, and directly pushed the person to the corner of the wall, against the wall, and then stopped.
But he interrupted him like this, and the captain obviously no longer believed what Li Daoxuan had just said.
"Captain, this should be ...... First mate, right? ”
Tan Xiao stepped forward and said to the two with a smile: "My brother is not malicious, the reason why he said this just now is because we met an old sailor in the sailor's quarters, and he looked ...... It can only be said that it is exactly the same as the two of them. ”
"What?"
The captain, who had been smiling kindly, immediately changed his face when he heard this.
"What do you say? Met an old sailor who looked like us?! ”
The captain immediately glanced at the bearded man, that is, the first mate, and said, "Second brother, that's ...... Father! ”
There was a hint of shock in his eyes.
Li Daoxuan also guessed this possibility, but he never said it, and at this moment he heard Tan Xiao say this...... He glanced at the bull-nosed old way.
The latter nodded quietly, motioning for him to come.
Li Daoxuan also let him do it.
"Unlikely, could it be that my father has been dead for so long, and the soul is still on this ship?"
The first mate's face was a little ugly, and when he passed by Li Daoxuan, he shook the collar on his body, looking very unconvinced.
But the gray-haired captain was a little ...... I can't tell what it means.
He looked at Tan and smiled, "Where did you meet, take me to see." ”
"Okay, let's take the captain...... But here ......"
He looked around as he laughed, as if to say that his mission was not yet complete.
"You don't have to worry about it here, someone will take care of it later."
After speaking, he walked out and walked directly to the sailor's residence downstairs, and Li Daoxuan and the others hurriedly followed.
Not much.
Li Daoxuan and the others stopped at the door of the room where they had met the old sailor last night, and the captain looked at the locked door.
He picked up the rusty lock and looked at it, then turned around and asked, "Are you sure you entered this room last night?" ”
Li Daoxuan looked at this door, and he was also a little surprised, because whether it was when he went in last night or when he came out this morning, he didn't remember that there was a lock on this door, and even from the lock, the door seemed to have not been opened for a long time.
Could it be ...... How many of us fell in love with evil things here last night?
Otherwise, why would you fall into such a fantasy?
But Tan Xiao obviously knew something, as if he said confidently: "That's true, the layout inside is...... And the old sailor we met......"
Immediately, Tan Xiao told all the things that several people experienced and saw here last night.
Just a few words of the old sailor were hidden.
The more the captain listened, the brighter his eyes lit up.
By the time the conversation was finished, he no longer had the slightest doubt, so he directly took off a key from his waist, picked out one of them, and opened it.
He and the first mate walked in, looked inside and out, and then called in the conversation and laughing, and asked many questions.
Li Daoxuan and the fifth sister stayed outside the door, waiting quietly, unlike in the general control room upstairs, at this moment, the captain was traveling, and there were many more crew members in armor around.
They were all dead, and even one of them was almost visible.
Li Daoxuan didn't have the idea of making a move, but suddenly, he seemed to hear something.
He looked at the fifth sister.
Fifth Yanran nodded quietly, signaling that she had heard it too.
Fifth Shuran wanted to ask, but in the next second, she also heard it.
Someone...... It's fighting, and it's under the bilge.
Further down is the bottom of the cabin.
All the ballast goods were placed, and even Shi Ji and the second mate were locked up underneath.
But why is there a fight underneath, is someone fighting with Shi Ji?
Li Daoxuan was puzzled, and the captain and first mate also walked out with a chatter.
He was about to speak, but the whole ship swayed violently, and they almost fell without holding it steady for a while.
Then a sergeant who had just come down from the upper deck leaned into the captain's ear and whispered a few words.
The captain's face changed slightly, "I'll go back now." ”
After speaking, he looked at the few of them again, and thought for a while, "You wait for me here first, don't move around at will, and then call you when I'm done." ”
"Yes, Captain."
After saying that, he led the first mate and many armor soldiers away.
It's just that when passing by Li Daoxuan's side, no one noticed that an extremely small paper figure fell to the ground, hid behind a soldier, and followed.
When they reached the top of the stairs, the captain seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "The second mate is still in confinement, right, the matter is urgent, call him up first." ”
When he talked about the second mate, he seemed to think of something again, and glanced back at Li Daoxuan.
But in the end, nothing was said.
After he left, Li Daoxuan and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the joy in each other's eyes.
The message to the lowest level, the wooden door, is finally about to be opened!
"Be prepared."
Li Daoxuan nodded, in fact, there is nothing to prepare for, since entering this evil tower, things are basically in their respective Sumeru.
Li Daoxuan said this, more to let them be mentally prepared.
Then they came to the staircase from before and waited quietly.
After less than a cup of tea, there was a sudden sound on the originally flat ground, and then the wooden plank was pulled aside, and a dark hole appeared in front of them.
Li Daoxuan did not hesitate at all, and the moment this cave entrance appeared, he jumped in.
followed by a joke about this bull-nosed old way, and he even counted a hexagram.
"Little murderer, be careful."
In the end, it is the fifth sister.
But before they could stand firm, the fifth Yanran, who was walking at the end, quickly said, "Be careful, someone is coming." ”
Li Daoxuan also heard the footsteps coming from his head, and immediately stopped without leaving.
Then he saw the two armorers coming down the stairs, and immediately said, "What are you doing when you come down, didn't the captain tell you to wait for him upstairs?" ”
One of the armorers had no wounds on his body, and the other had a dagger stuck in his neck.
Li Daoxuan didn't say a word, and the dog leash around his waist directly tied up the armor soldier who was killed.
The sudden move, still in this small space, made the two armorers not react at all.
"And you, you didn't find out, you're already dead?"
Li Daoxuan spoke extremely quickly, directly piercing the existence of another armor soldier.
It's just that in an instant, he still wanted to speak, and thick hair suddenly gushed out from his mouth and nose, and as soon as Li Daoxuan's hand was released, the pig-killing knife was held in the palm of his hand.
At the same time, the hot oil around the waist is also ready.
It's just waiting for this mass of hair to come out, and then a one-hit kill.
In just two or three breaths, the hair was almost completely out, and the corpse behind it had turned to ashes.
The fifth Shuran grabbed it with his hand, and he took the dead man's money in his hand.
Li Daoxuan just wanted to splash out a pot of hot oil.
Tan Xiao saw something, and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Dao Xuan, be careful!" ”
Li Daoxuan also felt the killing intent coming from behind him, and he lifted his hand by the way, and the hot oil in his hand was directly splashed behind him.
"Whew-" sounded.
It was just such a delay, and the young sea woman who had just crawled out disappeared at the end of the corridor with a few jumps.
Out of the corner of Li Daoxuan's eyes, he saw that this sea woman this time, under the thick hair, could already see a humanoid body.
It's asymmetrical and incongruous, but it's visible.
But he didn't bother to look closely.
He flung his right hand with the pig-killing knife behind him, and the moment it suddenly became longer, he only felt as if he had slashed something, and then he jumped to the side and left the place directly.
Behind him, when the fifth Shuran raised his hand, there was an illusory pulp bucket in his hand, and it could be vaguely seen that the barrel was filled with all kinds of dyes.
And this is also a common technique of the [tailor] sequence - dyeing.
If you splash this pigment on an enemy, it will have a powerful attack effect, but if you splash it on your own people, it will have a powerful buff effect.
After Li Daoxuan learned about it, he only felt that this vulgar technique was very similar to Dongchunguan's [Asking for Rain].
Just like at this moment, Li Daoxuan avoided the back.
The Fifth Shuran's [Dyeing] Vulgar Technique was directly applied to the hair that was curled out of the gap, and just after touching it, all the hair melted instantly.
Behind the plank, as if in the far distance, there was a roar.
The rest of the slightly intact hair also receded in an instant.
After standing firmly, Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "Be careful, there are adult sea women here." ”
Because at the moment when he just landed, he saw not far away, at the corner of this corridor, as if a figure had disappeared in a flash.
The figure looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and her skin was strangely white.
But what really made Li Daoxuan notice her at a glance was the almost one-foot long hair she dragged behind her back.
Her hair hung down on the ground, dragged by the sea woman.
There was also a long trail of water stains on the ground she passed.
On the other side, Tan Xiao and the fifth sister also walked over, and all three of them had a hint of caution on their faces.
Especially talking and laughing, but he, a seventh-rate grain eater, is still a little panicked when dealing with such a scene.
But fortunately, the fifth sister always kept her in the middle.
"Let's go."
With a wave of Li Daoxuan's hand, the handle of the pig-killing knife, which was originally a short knife, instantly became longer and turned into a long knife.
Walking in the middle, Tan Xiao pinched a few pieces of rune paper in each hand, obviously, he didn't believe in the vulgar skills of his seventh-rate [suona master].
He believed more in the mundane magic abilities that he brought with him when he was reincarnated.
In fact, it is true that the methods of the middle ninth rate must be far more sophisticated than the methods of the lower nine ranks.
Li Daoxuan has already felt this from Zhou Xu.
Walking through this corridor, there is a corridor in front of it that crosses left and right, and the No. 3 cabin where Li Daoxuan and the others went before is on the right.
But at this moment, what a few people came to look for was a stone table.
Li Daoxuan didn't know where Shi Ji was locked up, his footsteps had just stopped, and the conversation and laughter behind him had already begun to show the way.
"Go this way."
Talking and laughing pointed to ...... Left.
Looking at the dark corridor, there are many boxes as far as the eye can see, and there is even a closed wooden door.
Li Daoxuan really wants to have a field to spread out the past and directly see all the situations.
But unfortunately, no matter how much he urged, the domain seed in his body was indifferent.
I can't push it in the slightest.
"I have an idea and want to try ......"
Li Daoxuan didn't take a few steps before stopping.
His words suddenly made the conversation and laughter behind him feel cold behind him.
He felt that every thought of Brother Dao Xuan would make him feel more stressed.
"What...... What's the idea? ”
The voices of talking and laughing are a little stammering.
Li Daoxuan didn't pay attention and said, "This sea woman is also evil, right?" ”
"It's kind of ......"
"Since it's an evil spirit, it should be attracted by the black candlestick, right?"
As Li Daoxuan spoke, he took out a white candle directly from Sumeru.
His behavior made the chatter and the fifth sister who were following him take a step back.
His face changed dramatically.
Seeing their expressions, Li Daoxuan knew that it was still Pingshui who met and joined forces for the first time.
If it were a few of them, they would already be plotting how to act.
Well...... If Shi Ji is there, he should also agree.
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan immediately turned around and shouted towards this suitable corridor: "Shi Ji, you are a dog, and you haven't come out yet!" ”
Li Daoxuan had no scruples and shouted loudly.
A loud voice echoed and rang out here, but it didn't wait for a response.
But in the same way, the sea woman was not disturbed.
"Huh?"
Li Daoxuan looked back at Tan Xiao, frowning slightly, if Shi Ji was really here, hearing Li Daoxuan's voice, he would still be so insulting.
With Shi Ji's temperament, it is impossible not to reply.
But now that there is not the slightest response, there is only one possibility left...... He's dead!
He died at the bottom of the ghost ship, and he is still in a corpse state, so he can't respond.
"Was he killed by the sea woman?"
The fifth was surprised.
Because Shi Ji is locked up at the bottom of this, and there is a sea woman at the bottom of this...... It's quite possible.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the poor road will be calculated first......"
Tan Xiao raised his hand and shook it, and at the same time took out his four bronze coins.
This time he was more formal, just pulling horizontally, the four coins were floating in the air, he reached out and bounced them one by one, and the last one was caught.
It was just an instant that his eyes lit up.
"The confinement room is over here...... But Shi Ji's current location is not here......" Tan Xiao said and looked back in the other direction.
"He's out, over there."
When Li Daoxuan heard this, he just wanted to find out his paper man, but then he remembered that the paper man followed those armor soldiers.
He sensed it slightly, and suddenly saw a scene that seemed like the end of the world through the perspective of the paper man.
On the vast sea, the sky was full of dark clouds, heavy rain poured like a basin, and there was even lightning one after another.
A ghost ship, traversing the Storm Zone.
The sound was so loud that it was hard to hear.
Li Daoxuan could only vaguely see that the captain and the first mate seemed to be arguing loudly about something.
"I didn't expect this scene to be outside and so stable inside this boat...... Li Daoxuan thought to himself.
"Poor Dao go and see."
Talking and laughing, he took out the treasure he got halfway...... Toad with a human face.
Li Daoxuan and the others only vaguely saw the toad fall to the ground, but after it touched the ground, they couldn't see anything.
Neither was the sound.
"Don't worry...... Don't worry......"
Talking and laughing, he was vigilant around him.
Even though Li Daoxuan didn't look back, he could feel as if something was crawling behind him, and he casually sprinkled a pot of hot oil on his back.
At the same time, the black candlestick was put away and a modified version of the red candlestick was lit.
In an instant, the candlelight shone brightly, and there was a sound of "rustling" all around, as if a rat was drilling and retreating.
Tan Xiaochang breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Dao Xuan didn't take out this good thing earlier." ”
Li Daoxuan looked at the burning speed of the red candle, so as to judge how many sea women still existed around.
At first, the moment it was taken out, the red candle was almost instantaneously missing, but since then, the burning speed has returned to normal.
It shows that the sea women in the vicinity are all gone......
But suddenly, the look of the conversation and laughter changed greatly.
"Shi Ji is dead...... Turned into a mashed meat. ”
"What? What's so surprising about him dead? Li Daoxuan was surprised by the performance of talking and laughing.
"No, the point is...... He was killed by other grain eaters. ”
After talking and laughing, Zhengse said: "In addition to us, there are other grain eaters on this ship......
"Doesn't it mean that only the group of people who enter the front and back will be assigned to the same ghost ship? Could it be that after us, someone else came in? ”
Fifth Yanran also felt that this was a bit unlikely.
"Just go and see."
Li Daoxuan blew out the red candle and strode in the opposite direction. (End of chapter)
