Volume 1 Peaceful Sea Chaos Chapter 56 The Dead Sea
Ling Jiang listened to Luo Baogen's narration and felt a tingling in his scalp, if he hadn't died in front of him at this moment, he would never have believed such a mysterious thing.
How could a big box of gold be gone, and how could a living person jump into the sea?
Ling Jiang suddenly recalled the scene when he walked towards the ghost boat step by step when the tide was high that day.
"Do you mean...... Those people are just like me, they were hooked by the ghosts and became their substitutes?" Ling Jiang thought to himself.
"What's next?" he asked hurriedly.
"What's next?" Luo Baogen sneered, "and then it's a nightmare." People are dead, the gold is gone, the wind and waves are strong outside, the sky is dark, I tell you, I have never seen such a cloud in my life, it is black like a devil. Although I haven't seen what the devil looks like...... It was proposed that we tie everyone up with ropes so that if someone jumps into the sea, it can be stopped. But he was immediately refuted, isn't this looking for death? If that person is determined to jump into the sea, won't all the people in this boat have to die?"
"We all gathered together, locked the doors and windows tightly, did not dare to do anything, the rain outside was very fierce, it was raining for three days, the waves can be as high as a boat, and they can take away the people on the board, Xiao Liuzi was swept away by the waves, he is only sixteen years old. We couldn't sail at all at sea, we kept going in circles. The more Luo Baogen spoke, the more uncomfortable he became, watching the people around him die one by one, no one knew if he would be next.
"Shouldn't all of you people jump into the sea and die?" Ling Jiang asked, if this was the case, then Luo Baogen and the others would be quite lucky.
"Not really. Luo Baogen shook his head, "There are thirteen people on our boat, five of them jumped into the sea, Xiao Liuzi was swept away by the waves, and there are still seven people left." I said, boy, have you ever heard of a sea without wind?"
"A sea without wind?" Ling Jiang was stunned for a moment, not quite sure what it meant.
"The water is salty, saltier than the sea anywhere else. Luo Baogen continued, "It was the fifth day after the change, and we woke up to find ourselves in a darker place, but there was no wind, no waves, and I didn't know that it was a lake. We tried to paddle with the oars, but it didn't work, no matter how hard we tried, the boat just didn't move. ”
"Are you trapped there?" Ling Jiang asked.
"Yes. Luo Baogen replied, "There were no fish in that place, and there was not much rain on the boat, so after the seven of us had lasted four days, we began to raid the boat, just for the little bucket of water left on the boat." The place was dark and sloppy day and night, but sometimes you could see the moonlight. And that night, there was just moonlight. ”
"We are on the board, the captain and I, and Lao Fei, and the other four people, whoever wins, this bucket of water belongs to whom. Luo Baogen said.
"Did you win in the end?" Ling Jiang asked, it stands to reason that if Luo Baogen hadn't won, it would be impossible for only the three of them to survive in the end.
"Win?" Luo Baogen smiled, "yes, I forgot to tell you, that place, the people who often stay at sea, is called the Dead Sea." ”
"Dead Sea?" Ling Jiang cringed at the strange name.
"The water in the Dead Sea is very salty, there are no fish, no people, no wind, and if a boat arrives, it will only be waiting to die. So there are many, many ships in addition to ours, some of which seem to be hundreds of years old. I'll tell you that when I met the Kraken, that's when I ......," Luo Baogen said.
"At that time, we were about to fight. Suddenly, two big green eyes lit up in the sea. By the light of the moon, we saw that it was a very big black shadow, and that eye was bigger than a ship! We were all stupid, how could we still have the heart to grab water? The captain said, it was the Siren. It slowly floated to the surface of the sea, and the moon was immediately invisible, with only those big green eyes in its eyes. Luo Baogen's voice trembled a little, obviously quite jealous of that scene.
The Kraken didn't do anything, just glared at a boat, and immediately set off a three-zhang high wave, and in the blink of an eye, the ship disappeared from the sea. Can you imagine the waves three feet high?" Luo Baogen shouted excitedly.
"Three zhang high ......" Ling Jiang was also trembling in his heart, if Luo Baogen didn't deceive people, maybe the waves he had seen were exactly the same as those Luo Baogen had seen.
"What happened?" Ling Jiang asked.
"Later?" said Luo Baogen, "and then there will be no later...... We all fainted, and when we woke up, we saw that only my old fat and the captain were left on the board, and as for the other four, I don't know where they had gone, but their clothes were left on board. ”
"You mean ......" Ling Jiang couldn't help but shudder.
"Not bad. Luo Baogen said, "It's like turning into smoke, the people are gone, and only the clothes are left." Do you know what's in the clothes of the four of them, though?"
"What's there?" Ling Jiang wondered.
"Gold!" Luo Baogen said with a hint of anger, "Each of these four people has a piece of gold hidden in their clothes. It was said that they were not allowed to open the box until they were on the shore, but what about these people? Don't you know, when people die, the gold comes back. I'm not talking about the gold hidden in their clothes, but the gold in the gold chests, all back!"
"This ...... It's too mysterious, isn't it? Ling Jiang was stunned.
"Who says it's not?" Luo Baogen said helplessly, "But what's the use of this gold? ”
"Alas......" Luo Baogen sighed for a long time, he said this for a long time, as if he had exhausted the endless grievances of his life, "You know what happened after that." We ate the rest of the food and water and lay each in our coffin. Long, long after we died, the ship moved, and although I couldn't get out, I knew it was supposed to leave the Dead Sea. Then, as it is now, it will drift at sea for a long time, sometimes calming down, going to land, or back to the Dead Sea. ”
"There are often living people on board, and I guess they all go for the box of gold in the top compartment of the ship. However, as far as I know, not many of the people who boarded the ship have survived to take the gold with them, and most of them have gone away with broken arms and legs, or they have remained on the ship forever. Luo Baogen seemed to recover his emotions and said lightly.
"Boy, I've been holding back these words for hundreds of years, and I can finally say them to others, now I have no regrets, alas......" Luo Baogen sighed again, "Boy, you can do it yourself." ”
