Chapter 440: Twists and turns

"Broken?" King Kong Cannon was stunned. "That's unlucky!"

"Can you say something nice? If it's broken, it means it hasn't been calculated. After I finished my self-deception, I reached out and grabbed the neck of the King Kong Cannon, and then returned to the reef before.

Cross-eyed, they are really still waiting for us, and they exclaimed a lot at our sudden appearance, and in their opinion, the entry and exit formation is to disappear and appear out of thin air, and now even if I and King Kong Cannon tell them that we are not immortals, they don't believe it.

Plundering back to the fishing boat, Cross-Eyed immediately pulled us to lunch, in fact, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was better to have lunch than to drink afternoon tea.

"Old Yu, you explain to me, what does it mean to stand up?" King Kong Cannon's harvest from last night had been placed on the table, and he picked up one of the largest abalone and handed it to me.

"To be righteous is to live, but to die is to die, and if you are not upright, you are not dead or alive. I shook my head. Although the table is full of high-quality seafood, I don't have an appetite now, and the tortoise shell is quite strong, how can it be broken when you fall lightly. If it's just a broken hole, what does it mean to be broken apart?

"What is it to not die or live?" King Kong Cannon's face turned green.

"Zombie, you just go and let the zombie bite, then you won't die. "I jokingly pulled out my cigarette.

"When you're done, you're going to get a talisman on my head and lead me around?" King Kong Cannon stretched his hands forward to imitate the zombies' movements, and this time it was cross-eyed, and their faces turned green.

"Don't worry, I'll cut off your head directly on that day. The antics of the King Kong cannon made me laugh out loud, and I put down my cigarette and picked up the abalone.

"Come, come, eat. King Kong Cannon warmly beckoned to cross-eyed and they to eat.

Cross-eyed and the crew thanked each other nervously, their expressions were very nervous, and they were obviously full of fear of me and the King Kong Cannon.

"Lao Jiang, let me tell you the truth, we are just Taoist priests, not messengers of the sea god, you just treat us as ordinary people. I pointed to my robe and said to them. I really don't want to be regarded as a god by them, and this feeling of being revered as a god makes me very awkward.

"Yes, yes, yes. Cross-eyed tried to make his expression look natural, but his expression showed that he didn't believe me.

"Eat quickly, go to bed after eating. King Kong beckoned the crew to eat.

The words of the King Kong cannon are now like a holy decree, and everyone picked up their chopsticks with an order.

"Where are we going now?" asked me for instructions after dinner.

"Wait until I think about it. I thought about it and spoke.

Cross-eyed nodded in agreement, turned and walked towards the control room.

After a night of eating, I went back to my room and fell asleep, and I lay down in bed thinking about my next move.

Ask the ancestor to continue the life of the King Kong Cannon This road can't go through, and now I can only make another plan, although there are countless immortal mountains in the vast East China Sea, but most of them are inhabited by immortals, I and the King Kong Cannon are equivalent to looking for no interest in ourselves, and we don't know the path into the mountain We can't get in at all. As for those islands that are not inhabited by immortals, it is useless for us to go there, because without immortals, there is no blind formation, and the fishermen must have already gone there.

As a result, there is only one last way left, and that is to find a way out of the sea. However, this path is also very difficult, that is, it is not easy to find them, and when I came to the ocean, I realized that the barrier of the sea water to the breath is much more serious than I thought before, and the strange beasts with Neidan are generally hidden in the depths of the seabed, and it is difficult to observe and find them from the surface of the sea through qi observation.

From the perspective of the five elements of yin and yang, water is yin, and the animals in the water are also yin, which means that the heaviest yin should be when they are most active, from this point of view, I only need to wait for three days to be able to wait for the day when the yin qi is the heaviest, the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar.

Which day of the month is the heaviest yin, the outside world generally believes that it is the night of the full moon of the fifteenth lunar month, in fact, this understanding is wrong, not only wrong but also very wrong, the correct answer is the third day of the lunar month, the thirteenth, the twenty-third. Among them, twenty-three is the most yin. There is a sentence in the Taoist classics that can provide a theoretical basis for this doctrine: "Every third day of the month, the three souls abandon their bodies and travel outside..."The soul is yin, and it is only possible to leave the body when the yin qi is at its heaviest, and this phenomenon is what we usually call a dream. If you are careful enough to mark the time of dreaming on the calendar, you will soon find that the time of dreaming is basically these three days of the month, except for people with neurasthenia.

As for the theory that the soul is separated from the body to form a dream, there is a good evidence to support this statement, that is, the soul of a person who is out of the body cannot speak, which leads to the phenomenon that people want to shout in a dream but cannot make a sound, if they finally shout, it means that the soul has returned to its place, that is to say, the person has woken up at this time.

Three days later will be the heaviest day of yin, but I can't sleep in the cabin for three days, I have to find another way to lure out the strange beasts hidden underwater. As for what method is most effective, of course, it is food lure, the bait is ready-made, and the tortoiseshell corpse is still piled up on the deck.

After thinking of this, I didn't rush to put it into practice, but went to the control room to talk to the cross-eyed, and the first mate chatted.

Purposeless chatting is called nonsense, purposeful nonsense is called chatting, and I naturally have my purpose in chatting with the two of them. The two of them have been at sea for so many years, it is impossible that they have not encountered strange things, and I want to understand through the conversation between the two of them which body of water is more likely to have spirit beasts.

Naturally, I couldn't directly ask where strange phenomena were happening, they weren't stupid, and they would definitely point me in the opposite direction, so I chose a tortuous and roundabout approach, disguising purposeful inquiries as aimless chatter, and went around in a big circle, gradually letting their guard down in the process of going around in circles.

The first thing I asked was about the family situation of the two, how many children, why they did this business.

The other party's answer is naturally expected by me, doing this business is naturally for money, everyone has their own difficulties for money, what children go to school, the elderly are sick.

Next, I have to sympathize with the hard work of their industry, what is not easy to make money, the sea is windy and so on, and so on, so that the two of them feel that I am indeed a good and compassionate person.

Then I have to talk about the rules of the fishermen when they go out to sea, what are the firecrackers, the pouring of wine into the sea, and a series of sacrificial actions, so as to get closer to my ultimate goal.

After two hours of going around in this big circle, the two old fellows finally let their guard down and told some strange things they had personally experienced or heard about......
