[692] Determination
Above the turbulent sea, it was dim and dark. The pilot light on the bow of the ship was wrapped in darkness, like a lone lamp trying to break through the boundless darkness, and the power seemed weak in the boundless darkness.
No matter how hard the lone lamp tried to shine, the darkness around him was still overwhelming.
The boss of the boat was calm and calm just now, but now he was shocked when he heard this, and a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from the tip of his nose. Then he recovered from his stupor, and immediately pulled his legs and galloped towards the gangway leading to the cabin.
Before going out to sea, he had carefully inspected every corner of the ship's hull, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. And during the whole voyage, not only did it not encounter strong winds and waves, but it did not even hit the reef, so why did the good cabin leak?
The ship's boss was puzzled.
The organic and fast footsteps of "Dengdenden" echoed on the gangway, and the faint sound of water could be faintly heard.
The crew who had followed him turned around and went to the cabin to wake up the sleeping crew and prepare to begin draining the cabin. The captain of the ship continued down the spiral staircase, and hurried towards the cabin on the ground floor.
Halfway through, I saw that the entire bilge was about to be completely submerged by water, and there was sea water everywhere. And on the bulkheads on both sides that have not been completely submerged, there are countless small holes dotted around. Each hole is not large, only the size of a little finger, but it is very dense.
The salty and bitter seawater poured into the cabin along these small holes, and the dense small holes in the bulkhead were opened.
With the help of the chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the cabin, the flickering fire emitted, the captain of the ship took a look, only to see that there were cracks around the small holes. The cracks were spreading in all directions with the pressure of the water.
In the sound of running water, the clattering sound of wood breaking sounded one after another. It won't be long before the entire bilge will be completely submerged by the sea, and the water pressure will crack the already cracked bulkhead.
The captain of the ship was stunned on the gangway, staring blankly at the cargo floating in the cabin, and his heart was confused and rose in panic.
How did those holes come about? Why are there so many holes on the ship in the blink of an eye?
All kinds of problems, the ship boss couldn't figure it out for a while. How did he know that it was the goods he was transporting that caused this catastrophe from heaven.
Those goods were mixed with the military products and drawings of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and because of this, his ship had already been targeted by the ghost detectives of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the reincarnation king who was responsible for recovering those military products and drawings.
Before the ship could go to sea, the sea boy and sea cavalry sent by the king of the wheel chased after him, and while diving into the sea and following the ship southward, after nightfall, while most of the crew was asleep, countless small holes were quietly carved into the bulkhead of the bilge.
The Northern Yin Dynasty wants to let this ship and the cargo crew on board sink to the bottom of the sea forever and disappear forever. In this way, those military products of the Northern Yin Dynasty will never fall into the hands of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
In the moments when the ship's boss was confused, the entire bilge was completely submerged by the sea. The rising sea water rushed up the gangway to the bilge, and in an instant it was already at the feet of the captain, wetting the captain's toe and submerging the chandelier hanging from the bilge.
Darkness rose and filled the bilge along with the seawater.
The boat boss's eyes were dark, and he felt that his shoes were cold and wet, and he immediately recovered from his stunned thoughts. One turned, held on to the railings on both sides of the gangway, and strode towards the high part of the gangway.
He also had a way to completely seal the bilge so that the water below could not come up at all, so that his ship could continue to sail.
Although all the employers were stored in the bilge, and the goods they were asked to ship to Shuoyue Island in the Nine Shadows Kingdom would be destroyed, it would allow the ghosts on the ship to survive and not sink into the sea to feed the fish.
If you destroy the goods, you just need to lose the money for the goods, and you can always pay it back by smashing the pot and selling iron. If something happened to the crew and the ghosts on board, it would be a matter of life, and there were forty-five ghosts on board, which could be converted into money to ruin the ship's boss.
What's more, his crew is one in a million, and he knows everything about navigation. If these crew members make some mistakes, it will be difficult for the ship boss to find such a good crew member.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is absolutely impossible to let the ghosts on the ship make another mistake.
The boss of the ship had only gone up to the upper cabin, and all the crew had already rushed over, each with buckets in their hands, ready to drain the bilge.
"It's useless, the bilge is submerged. Seeing this, the captain of the ship shouted to the hurried crew, "Come and help me close the bilge." ”。
The crew froze in front of him, staring blankly at the gangway not far away. At the entrance to the gangway, the sea water swayed gently under the light. The ripples of the water distorted the light reflected in the water.
The captain of the ship had gone to move the planks used to seal the bilge, and when he reached the port of the gangway, the sea water below was about to gush out of the port, and the boss of the ship shouted to the crew who were still stunned: "Why are you still stunned? Go and seal the other entrances to the bilge." ”。
As soon as the words landed, and the crew members had just recovered from their stunned thoughts, explosions erupted on the deck, bringing bursts of violent shaking, and the scorching heat wave rushed into the cabin.
For a moment, the whole cabin became stuffy.
The fire on the deck also swept into the cabin with the scorching wind and heat, bringing patches of red.
The captain of the ship and the rest of the crew stumbled in the violent shaking and almost fell to the ground. After they had managed to stand still, the captain threw the plank in his hand and sped towards the gangway that led to the deck.
The widening eyes were filled with panic.
He took three steps and two steps, and rushed up the gangway to the deck, where he saw the light of fire and billowing smoke rising all around the deck. Fragments of wood and sawdust with flames and smoke were tossed and splashed in the flames and smoke.
The sharp whistling sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" continued to sound in the air above his head. The ship boss, who had already been disheartened by the successive sudden events, had nothing but shock in his heart at this moment. With his head blank, he looked up in a daze, and saw countless rockets in the sky above his head, as dense as a little red star.
Among the rockets, there were several crimson cannonballs falling from the sky, all of which were whizzing towards the deck of the ship's boss. Let it fall to the ground and crash into the deck.
It was another water leak, artillery bombardment and rocket attack, and the Northern Yin Dynasty was determined to let the ship disappear forever.
The wide eyes of the captain of the ship were reflected in the blazing flames of the overwhelming rockets, and the horror that continued to emerge in his eyes could not be covered by the twitching muscles of his eyes......
On the Yuque hunting ground, in Xiao Shizhu's camp.
The big tent of the Chinese army was brightly lit, and there were shadows swaying under the slight flickering candle flame. Xiao Shizhu, who was gasping for dozens of times, was the first to come to his senses, looking around the bedside, already stunned, just like the national teachers Ying Ying and Chen Ruo, who were motionless after being petrified in an instant, as well as the two Su Tianju disciples. The gasping from behind his chapped lips subsided, and his breathing slowly became even.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Shizhu frowned when he squinted, his eyes fell on the face of the national teacher Yingying, and he teased as always: "You are really perverted, and you still form a group to peep at me sleeping, right?" In order to match this ridicule, a pretended embarrassed look appeared on his face when he spoke, and then he pulled the quilt up to cover his exposed chest.
Seeing that he spoke clearly, the other ghosts also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the ghost mother's breathing became even, and then she looked around, and frowned and asked, "yes, what are you all doing here?"
After relieving himself, Chen Ruo hurriedly explained to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother why they were here. And the other Su Tianju disciples nodded from time to time to echo what Chen Ruo said.
Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother both frowned after listening to their words, and the ghost mother glanced at her husband, who was looking at her, and hurriedly whispered to Na Chenruo: "Go and get the lord's clothes." ”。
And Xiao Shizhu said to the two Su Tianju disciples: "You guys should retreat first, remember to tell the ghost soldiers outside that we have nothing to do, let them stop spreading falsehoods." ”。
The two Su Tianju disciples saw that they were fine, and the ghost qi in their bodies was no longer in a static state, and while the ghost qi was normal, their spirits were also normal. What's more, their master, the national teacher Yingying, is here, and Yingying is a ghost doctor expert. They didn't have to worry about Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother anymore, so they nodded and slowly retreated.
After putting on the clothes that Chen Ruo took, Xiao Shizhu asked Chen Ruo to move a stool for Ying Ying, and told Ying Ying about the dream of seeing Taishan Mansion with his ghost mother.
After listening to it, the ghost mother found that her dream was exactly the same as Xiao Shizhu's, so she followed up and explained this dream in more detail.
The national teacher Yingying listened patiently and carefully to their narrations, while secretly probing the ghost qi of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother. After careful inspection, I didn't find anything abnormal, and I was even more relieved.
The night wind was still howling outside the tent, whistling away. The felt cloth of the tent, hunting in the night wind.
The incident between Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother was a false alarm, which is a good thing. But after listening to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, after you said everything I said about the dream, Ying Ying, who was surprised by the fact that the rumored ancient god Taishan Mansion Jun actually lived until now, slowly calmed down the surprise in her heart. After pondering for a while, he said thoughtfully, "Listening to what you say, it seems that you have been hit by the Dream Technique, a kind of ancient god's magic technique. ”。
"Yes, I also think we've fallen into the dream spell together. And this kind of technique is only possible among some of the ancient gods who have passed away. After the ghost mother bowed slightly, she also said thoughtfully: "And in the dream, I clearly perceived the ghost energy and mysterious power of Taishan Mansion Jun, and the illusion that appeared in the dream was not pretended by his ghost." ”。
The ghost mother and the ancient gods of the past have intersected, and they still clearly remember their ghost aura and mystical aura. Therefore, in the dream, she did not notice any abnormality in the illusion in the dream technique, so she did not have vigilance and defense against the illusion.
"Well, from this point of view, Taishan Mansion Jun used his last mystic power to perform the dream technique to ask the lord to bring the information of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu, and want you to go to Huangquan to move foreign aid?"
"I'm determined to go to Yellow Springs. Xiao Shizhu, who made a decision, had a determined look on his face: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I should also try." ”。
