Chapter 13: The Shipwreck

Hearing the voice, Wang Lung was really startled, the giant snake actually chased after him, he was puzzled, looked back, as he said, and was resentful in his heart.

How can there be such a play, a puppet snake whose tail has been cut off by a war knife is chasing after him, and the puppet is controlled by its owner, that is to say, behind it is Ao Qing, what is it for? Escaping from the room, according to the original experience standard, he can be regarded as passing this level, but why does the giant snake still want to pursue it? Wang Lung was puzzled.

Although he was angry in his heart, he had no other way but to run wildly.

The land of the deep sea, its topography is somewhat similar to the land, valleys, highlands, plains, can be seen everywhere, Wang Lung is in the plain terrain at this time, there is nowhere to hide, with the speed of the puppet snake, he can catch up in an instant, he has no choice but to flee to the wreck.

Gradually, after the wreck came into view, Wang Lung found that the ship was actually inserted diagonally on the bottom of the sea, with a layer of seagrass and coral attached to it, the hull of the ship was about 100 meters long, because the outer layer was eroded by the sea water for too long, the original color could not be seen, but judging from its shape, this ship should be a cargo ship.

Wang Lung ran to the left of the wreck, but did not enter it immediately, and did not find the entrance, he looked back, and saw that the puppet snake could not catch up for a moment, so he carefully looked at the wreck.

This is the only boat nearby that can hide, and if the entrance is too large and you enter it yourself, the puppet snake can also enter, and it will be blocked inside, wouldn't it just fulfill the old saying 'catch a turtle in an urn'

I don't know how long the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, but looking at its construction materials and shape, it should have been owned in ancient times. In ancient times, could it be that this ship is also a relic of Atlantis?

Without having time to think about it, Wang Lung quickly searched around the hull for various entrances, and looked at the entire ship in a moment, but fortunately, there were only three entrances. And the entrance is very small, only he can shrink through, thinking that the puppet snake is so thick that it is difficult to enter it, but after thinking about it, what if the snake breaks into the boat?

With a sigh in his heart, he looked back at the location of the puppet snake, and found that the other party was only a hundred feet away from him, and he no longer considered the consequences. Hurry into the inside of the hull.

After entering the hull, Wang Lung looked back at the entrance, there was a door cover at the entrance, raised his hand to beckon a brother and two to come in quickly, and after the two entered, the door cover could be moved by gently pulling it, and he was happy in his heart, and then covered the door cover to cover the entrance.

Since there is a door cover here. Whether there are the other two entrances or not, Wang Lung didn't have to think about it. After telling the two brothers about his discovery, he ran to the location in his memory.

Wang Lung's entry into the wreck was the bottom of the ship, which was usually used to store seawater and some cargo, so the area was very large, and the interior was pitch black, waiting for the eyes to get used to it. Stretching out his hand and groping his way forward, he saw a light, which was one of the other two entrances, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look. As I expected.

Covering the three entrances, Wang Lung sat on the ground to recover his strength, at this time his eyes were able to see normally, the empty bottom of the boat, even if the entrance was closed, was still soaked in the seawater, the bottom of the boat was shaped like a small boat, similar to the structure of modern ships, but I don't know what the three entrances are for.

The inside of the bottom of the ship is very empty, and there is not the slightest object, which may have existed before, but it has been eroded after sinking to the bottom of the sea for tens of thousands of years, and it looks a little gloomy.

Retracting his gaze, Wang Lung lay on the ground tiredly and rushed slowly and asked, "What's the matter with the broken snake?"

shook his head and said: "I don't know what to do, that snake is a puppet, it can be cast into such a shape, only Ao Qing's predecessors can do it, it is said that you escaped from that house, you should have passed, and the puppet snake should not chase you." ”

Wang Lung said: "I think the same way, now it seems that our ideas are wrong, it is estimated that Ao Qing wants me to kill the puppet snake to pass the test, the broken snake is refined from various materials, with my strength, it takes more than an hour to cut off one of its tails, don't even think about killing it, kill it at least to dismantle it in eight pieces, but also stand still, let me chop and chop, do you think it is possible? I can't do it." ”

The empty man on the side said: "This matter is indeed a little strange, I guess what you both said is not right." ”

Wang Lung turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Likong shook his head and said slowly: "Gao Jian can't talk about it, but I think about it from the character of Ao Qing's seniors. ”

Wang Lung saw that he had a new opinion, and got up slightly and asked, "What do you say?" ”

As soon as he heard the empty words, his heart immediately understood, but this matter could not be mentioned to Wang Long for the time being, so he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'm afraid that Ao Qing's predecessor feels sorry for the puppet being cut off by you, and he is angry in his heart, so he let it continue to chase you." ”

"What ......" Wang Lung just wanted to ask, but there was a banging sound in his ears, and it was not difficult to deduce that it should be the puppet snake that saw Wang Lung hiding inside the wreck, and the entrance was closed, and he was angry and wanted to break into the ship.

Hearing the sound, Wang Lung immediately stood up, the strength of the puppet snake is very strong, the ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea for an unknown number of thousands of years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to withstand the impact of the other party, if the other party really breaks the ship in, it will be a desperate effort.

Wang Lung stared nervously at the place where it was hit, but there was no sound after two sounds, could it be that the puppet snake could not give up? As soon as he thought of this, there was a banging sound not far from the hull of the ship, and the puppet snake actually turned to attack other places.

Full of nervousness, Wang Lung's eyes kept moving with the sound of impact, the puppet snake somehow did it, each time the impact location was different, and it hit twice, it was strange, this ship was not damaged in the slightest after being hit by the puppet snake, could it be that this ship is forged from special materials and can not rot for a long time?

Time passed little by little, the puppet snake kept hitting the hull of the ship, suddenly to the side, suddenly far away, suddenly overhead, each time the location was different, Wang Lung felt nervous in his heart, although he was in the middle of the sea, but he felt that his palms were already sweating.

After more than two hours, the sound of impact finally stopped, Wang Lung listened attentively, confirmed that there was no longer that sound, turned his head to look at the air, and asked in a low voice, "Is it gone?"

He shook his head and stretched out his hand to the left, the meaning was obvious, the puppet snake had not left yet, but it stopped and stopped hitting the hull, thinking that it was thinking about some powerful means.

Supposedly, a puppet does not have the ability to think. It can only do what it is told, but if its master's spiritual sense is attached to it, it is a different matter.

After being reminded by Sora, Wang Lung quickly shut up, his eyes fixed on the direction Sora was pointing, although he couldn't see through the hull of the ship. But the ears are still working.

After listening for a while, Wang Lung seemed to hear a sound, but the direction was not empty, but from all over his head, the sound was not in one place, as if it was everywhere above his head, he thought it was his own illusion, and listened carefully for a while, it was still the same. It was light, but it still couldn't escape his ears.

"Did you hear that? Wang Lung asked while gesturing above his head.

The empty divine consciousness locked onto the puppet snake, ignoring Wang Lung, but Yiyi released his divine consciousness and swept it in the direction that Wang Lung said, and in a moment he could see clearly the thing that made a sound above his head.

As soon as he retracted his senses, he smiled at Wang Lung and said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just some small miscellaneous fish hiding in the boat." ”

Hearing what the other party said, Wang Lung was a little relieved in his heart. After all, this is the sea, and the presence of fish is not unusual at all. Especially those deep-sea fish who like to run around and drill around, when they see a wreck, they will definitely take it as their own residence, and the puppet snake will go on a rampage outside, which will inevitably scare those small fish and shrimp.

Ignoring the sound above his head, Wang Lung turned his gaze to the air, seeing that the other party's expression was focused. He was grateful in his heart, before he became a true cultivator, he had no divine sense to use, and could only rely on the other party's help to check it.

More than half an hour passed, and the empty long breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head sideways and said to Wang Lung: "Okay, it's okay, the puppet snake is gone!"

After releasing his divine consciousness for a long time, he looked a little tired, and sat cross-legged on the ground after speaking, Wang Lung didn't speak, smiled and nodded at the other party, he wanted to sit down and rest together, but after moving his body, he found that his physical strength had recovered most of it, but he didn't expect to pay too much attention to the puppet snake hitting the hull, too long has passed, and his physical strength has slowly recovered a lot.

Although the puppet snake was gone, he didn't dare to leave the wreck now, Wang Lung had nothing to do, he wanted to take a closer look at what was in the wreck, in case there was some slight gain, he could add a little shriveled bag.

After asking the two brothers if they were going with him, the other party shook his head, and he wanted to meditate and recover, and he could only cheapen Wang Lung himself to protect the Dharma for his brother.

There is nothing at the bottom of the ship, Wang Lung has been hiding here for a long time, everything can be seen clearly, if you want to search the entire shipwreck, you can only go up, there is a staircase in the distance on the right, you can just go up, the hull is tilted, and the stairs are naturally crooked, but this is difficult to stop Wang Lung.

With the buoyancy of the seawater, Wang Lung came directly to the staircase, where there was a gate to close the entrance, and pushed hard, but there was no response, Wang Lung looked carefully and found that there was a rusty handle.

Hold the handle in his hand, slowly twist it to one side, it may be eroded by the sea water for a long time, the handle fell off directly, Wang Lung saw that the handle was broken, smiled bitterly in his heart, and then threw the handle away, and saw that the handle was broken, and a group of gears were connected.

If the handle is not broken, turning it will drive the gears, and it should be able to open the gate, even if there is no handle, with Wang Long's strength, there will naturally be no problem, the key is whether those gears can be supported, if the gears are the same as the handle, it is a big deal to smash the gate with one punch, but then I thought, in case this gate and the hull material are the same, the puppet snake can not break the ship in, can I break the gate.

Wang Lung shook his head, secretly praying in his heart that those gears would last for a long time, and that the chain would not fall off at this time.

The thumb and index finger pinched the broken gap of the handle, and with a slight force, he saw that the gear slowly turned twice, and there was a door, Wang Lung was happy in his heart, and continued to twist it down, and he still didn't dare to exert too much force in his hand.

Two or three minutes later, Wang Lung stopped on his own, and the gear turned on its own, and in a moment, the gear stopped turning, and only a click was heard, and the gate sank, and flakes of water continued to rise.

The gate opened, allowing only one person to pass, Wang Lung did not rush up, his eyes scanned, it was black, except for a few switches, there was nothing, his body slowly rose, poked his head out, glanced around, his eyes were blocked by iron plates, and he could not see in the distance.

Returning his head, Wang Lung turned his head to look at Yi, stretched out his hand and pointed upward, signaling the other party to go up by himself, seeing a smile and nodding, Wang Lung smiled in return, then turned his head, and slowly left the bottom of the boat by the buoyancy of the seawater.

Seeing Wang Lung leaving, he smiled bitterly, and when he heard his brother's laughter, he opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

One said: "Ao Qing's predecessors are calculating step by step, one level after another, Xiaolong is afraid that he will be in trouble again." ”

After hearing this, he immediately released his divine consciousness, and for a moment he could see clearly above his head, and he retracted his divine consciousness and said with a wry smile: "I just thought that the puppet snake was chasing Xiaolong because Ao Qing's predecessor was distressed that the puppet was cut off, but now it seems that Ao Qing's predecessor released the puppet snake, which basically forced Xiaolong to hide in this shipwreck." ”

"The purpose must be true, but the distressed puppet may not be true. One said.

He nodded and said, "I still wonder why the puppet snake only hits the hull twice at a time, and the position is different, I'm afraid to report to those guys so that Wang Lung has arrived." ”

"Well, it should be like this, the puppet snake has the spiritual consciousness of Ao Qing's predecessors, and it was controlled by her, at the beginning, I just released my divine sense to investigate the puppet snake, and my divine consciousness was beaten back by the other party, although I was not injured, but that spiritual consciousness is indeed Ao Qing's predecessor. One said.

"If you hadn't reminded me not to get my divine sense close to the puppet snake, I'm afraid I would have angered Ao Qing's predecessor a long time ago. Sora said.

He smiled and said: "Xiaolong, don't look at his usual eccentric, but he really wants to get into trouble, and he is not vigilant at all, what kind of troubles do you think he will encounter this time?" (To be continued......)
