Section 249 Past Events and Decisions
The fisherman's sudden and boundless words made Shi Yi stunned for a moment, obviously talking about the thunderstorm, how could he pull out a sea dragon.
Is it possible that this thunderstorm area is caused by the so-called sea dragon, which travels through clouds and rain?
Shi Yi's first reaction was not to believe it, thinking that this was a lie made up by the fisherman to prevent him from entering the thunderstorm area.
"Hehe, it's a rare opportunity, so I'm going to go in and take a good look. Shi Yi chuckled lightly and said to the fisherman with a look of disbelief.
"I know this kind of argument is difficult to convince, but the story of the sea dragon is not a story I made up randomly, but a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation along the coast of my Lian country.
When I was younger, I didn't believe this, thinking that it was just a story made up by an old man, and it wasn't until I was shipwrecked that I believed that it was all true, that the sea dragon was real.
As I said before, I had a thunderstorm that didn't stop for two months.
That was thirty years ago, and the situation was very similar to this one.
The same season, the same weather, and even the waters have not changed, and the reason why I was able to guess that this thunderstorm area will not dissipate for a short time is completely based on my last experience.
There were five boats with me on that occasion, and I knew each other, one of whom was my cousin.
At that time, we were young and vigorous, and we were going to pass through the thunderstorm, but I was going to regret it for the rest of my life.
At that time, the five of us boats entered the thunderstorm area in turn.
Walking to a cup of tea, a huge roar suddenly came from the front, sounding like the cry of a cow and a horse, faintly with the roar of a fierce beast such as a lion and tiger, in short, extremely strange.
I was a little intimidated at the time, and felt that I shouldn't go any further, so I told the four people in my group about my idea.
I didn't want to be ridiculed by my peers, who laughed at me for being cowardly and afraid of death, and the sound before was mostly thunder or something.
In shame, I left them behind and walked out of the thunderstorm area.
After that, I waited on the outskirts of the thunderstorm area in a boat.
Three days later, I saw a life-saving raft floating out of the thunderstorm area, and my cousin was the only one on it.
I quickly put him on the boat and tried to inquire about the remaining three, only to find that he was completely unconscious, and all he could say was the word sea dragon.
Not long after I returned to Lianguo with him, he went completely insane, and the rest of them never appeared again.
So far, there are five boats in a row, and I am the only one who has escaped with his whole body.
I still regret today that I didn't try to dissuade them from going deep into the thunderstorm area, otherwise I wouldn't have caused this kind of tragedy, which is dozens of lives. The fisherman recalled this old incident and said with a painful face.
Shi Yi saw that the fisherman's expression and words did not seem to be fake, so what he said was very likely to be true.
Combined with the strange roar he heard at the time of the fisherman's words, and the sea dragon that his cousin said afterwards, could there really be a dragon in this thunderstorm area?
The dragon can be big and small, and it can rise and hide;
The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden;
Rise soars through the universe,
Hidden lurks in the waves. (note 1)
As far as Shi Yi knows, everything that touches the dragon is very remarkable, although Shi Yi has never seen a real dragon, but it can be seen only by reading the records in the book.
If there is such an existence in the sea area of Lianguo, it is indeed not something that the current Shi Yi can deal with, and it is indeed a good choice to go home.
However, the fisherman had not seen it with his own eyes, and a roar and the muttering of his mad cousin were not enough to conclude that it was a dragon, or that it could be another sea beast.
Besides, if there really were dragons, it would never be just this momentum, let alone let the fisherman's cousin survive.
Therefore, overall, Shi Yi is still a little unconvinced.
One thing is certain, though, that there was something in the thunderstorm zone that could threaten the safety of the ship.
"Mr. Shi, what the old man said before is true, please believe me, quickly dispel the idea of driving the boat into the thunderstorm area, it is too dangerous to do so with my experience.
Besides, the people who sailed in our Lian country firmly believed that the ship god could escort him, and the prototype of this ship god was the sea dragon, so it was really not easy to anger the gods. The fisherman saw that Shi Yi was unmoved, so he spoke again to persuade him.
After the fisherman mentioned this, Shi Yi remembered that before going to sea, the fisherman insisted on holding the sacrificial ceremony on the boat.
At that time, although Shi Yi didn't say much, he was actually a little dissatisfied, thinking that it was a complete waste of time for the fisherman to engage in this kind of metaphysical thing.
At this time, Shi Yi heard the fisherman mention it again, and couldn't help but feel a little tired, and now he couldn't even be sure what was in the thunderstorm area, but he moved out of the strange theory.
Not to mention whether there are gods in this world, even if there are cultivators like Shi Yi, they only believe in themselves.
The fisherman's persuasion did not dispel Shi Yi's thoughts, and he still decided to pass directly through the thunderstorm area.
Compared with the sea dragon he had never heard of, Shi Yi preferred to believe that the culprit of the shipwreck when the fisherman was young was a whale or other unknown sea beast.
If it was really a dragon and wanted to destroy a few mortal boats, it would be impossible for the fisherman's cousin to survive, and it was hard to say whether the fisherman himself could survive.
It can also be seen from this that the things in the thunderstorm area are not the all-powerful true dragons.
Even an ordinary person like the fisherman's cousin can come out alive, and Shi Yi doesn't believe that he will fall into it as a monk.
As a monk of the way of kidney water, Shi Yi is confident enough to save his life at sea, which is where Shi Yi's confidence lies.
Just as Shi Yi made up his mind and was about to let the fisherman order the anchor, a series of hurried footsteps sounded and came towards the cabin where Shi Yi was.
Shi Yi looked up and saw that a large group of people were blocking the door of his cabin.
In addition to the sailors on the ship, there were also Jing Xunjian and Zhang Yuqi, but the leader was not these two, but the first mate on the ship.
"What is this for, what kind of system is a bunch of people blocked here, return to their respective posts, first mate, as the person in charge, how can you take them to mess around." The fisherman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, obviously he didn't expect it, and then hurriedly reprimanded his subordinates.
"I've heard that this person surnamed Shi doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he has to enter the thunderstorm area.
Instead of destroying the ship, it is better to kill this kid directly, and the six princes have already agreed to help. This first mate is also a bachelor, he stared at Shi Yi's eyes with a fierce light, and directly said the purpose.
Shi Yi didn't show any expression when he heard this, but casually glanced in the direction where Jing Xunjian was.
Although Shi Yi didn't do anything, Jing Xun still looked at Jing Xun Jian like falling into an ice cave.
