Chapter 55: The Dutchman Flying in the Sky


Uncle Ming was afraid that he would lose his footing and fall into the sea, so he hugged an arrow stone tightly and shouted: "Hu Zai, it's your uncle who has done so many good deeds and accumulated great virtues, so that Ji people have their own destiny.

You...

"Lan Zai followed me this time and came back with his life, thanks to the blessings of the fisherman's master and Mazu, and the dragon soldiers passed by the sea."

I used to be in Fujian, and I had heard about the "Dragon Soldiers" incident in the South China Sea.

It is a rare spectacle on the sea, together with phenomena such as sea markets and sea turtles.

It refers to whales or turtles gathering in groups, and whale spines and turtle shells floating in the water.

When you step out and look out at the sea, it's spectacular.

Fishermen believe that the phenomenon of "crossing dragon soldiers" has different signs.

The passing of whales and turtles is a good omen, while the passing of a large number of sea fish floating across the sea is a harbinger of a bad harvest and an impending shipwreck.

In fact, the phenomenon of "passing the dragon soldiers" is caused by drastic changes in the seabed, which caused the migration of aquatic animals in the sea.

It may be that the sea air dragon fire in the coral spiral disappeared, and the turtles in Guixu floated away and escaped, which is exactly what we rely on The floating sacred tree was lifted up.

In the past, Fatty and I had seen tortoise shells all over the ground in Baiyan Cave between the grassland and the desert.

The changing sea air in that "turtle burial" was like a ghost market, creating a gray ruins.

Now that I think about it, the strange scenes that change in the ghost market of Baiyan Cave are exactly the ancient tombs in Guixu.

Thousands of years ago in the Coral Spiral Sea, there must have been several spectacular migrations of turtles that "passed the dragon soldiers".

However, the bones of the turtles that escaped from the ruins back then were already buried in the turtle resting place of Baiyan Huangquan. .

Uncle Ming asked everyone to seize the opportunity and use the knife to chop up Grandma Shark's body again.

Seeing that things had turned around, I thought that the lives of Ruan Hei and Master Duo Ling were left at the end of Nanlong's remaining veins, and I felt a sense of loss. , suddenly felt weak all over, and felt that he could not stand firmly on his feet, so he sat down on the wood.

As soon as his hand touched the oak tree, the wooden pieces and arrow stones fell into the water one after another.

I looked down and saw that the cracks on the wood were deepening and expanding.

I couldn't help but shudder: "Oh no, this ancient tree has been severely impacted by the sea water under the ghost island.

It is most fragile.

It looks like it will be broken into pieces soon.

A disaster is imminent."

"It's gone."

Before he could remind the others, the tree floating in the sea began to disintegrate.

The barberry tree floating on the coral spiral sea has been immortal in the eye of the sea for thousands of years, relying entirely on the vitality of the sea to sustain itself.

Now that it has left Guixu, it has been severely damaged several times in succession.

The bark is covered with scales, and embedded in it.

The belemnites began to peel off one after another.

Grandma Shark's body was moved by the waves and slowly detached from the tree.

The broken half of the sacred tree drifted on the sea with the current.

We saw that this large natural "canoe" could not last long at sea before being crushed by the ocean currents.

However, under the starry night sky and surrounded by endless sea water, everyone was helpless.

Until now, nothing could be done.

I just had to let nature take its course and resign myself to fate.

I was looking at the undulating turtles around me and was thinking hard about what to do.

Suddenly I saw a turtle not far away that seemed to have a person on its back.

The man was wearing a diving suit with a yellow logo.

He was quite eye-catching on the sea.

His long hair was spread out.

He was Duoling who fell into Guixu.

She lay motionless on the back of the turtle, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

The giant turtle floated with the ocean currents, and suddenly sank into the sea.

Duoling's body was immediately washed aside by the sea water.

Maybe she survived after falling from the sacred tree.

With Dan Min's proficiency in water, she grabbed the giant turtle that escaped from the ruins in the turbulent current and was able to return to the sea.

I saw Duoling fall into the sea from the back of the turtle and drifting past the Jumu tree.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly called Guchai, jumped to the end of the log, grabbed a piece of belemnite, jumped into the water, and pulled Duoling into the water.

Duo Ling was pulled by her hair.

At this time, Guchai and others had arrived, and everyone was busy lifting Duo Ling onto the wood.

I grabbed the arrow stone and climbed up the tree, only to see Shirey Yang trying his best to rescue him.

Duoling's face was as white as paper and he was unconscious.

However, after rescuing him, he finally spit out a few mouthfuls of sea water and gained a little bit of vitality.

A stone fell in my heart.

I looked at Guchai.

He was kowtowing to the east, as if he was thanking Ruan Hei for his presence in the sky and for keeping Duoling alive, and he seemed to be worshiping the ancestors of the Dan people.

Master.

The fat man pulled him up: "Don't hit your head against the wood.

Why do you think it doesn't sink fast enough?

Thank God it's all nonsense.

Death does not belong to the proletariat.

I was fighting in the mountains back then."

It is most taboo to mention words like "overturning, overturning, and sinking" at sea.

Before Fatty could finish his words, Uncle Ming silenced him: "Fatty, everyone will be killed by you.

If you bully the mountains, don't bully the water." , I dare to say such taboo words."

The fat man was furious and was about to denounce the absurd views of Uncle Ming, an old "reactionary academic authority", but at this moment, everyone felt that their feet suddenly became loose.

For a moment, they all staggered and stood unsteadily, and the wooden body under their feet continued to crack and fall apart.

I screamed badly.

Just now I thought that this piece of rotten wooden pile could float on the sea for at least an hour, but now it seems that it will be separated soon.

At this time, the group of turtles had dived to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.

There was nothing in the sky above the sea.

When a wave hit, the part of the oak tree that emerged from the sea was immediately shattered.

Everyone fell into the water one after another and had no choice but to grab the scattered wood.

There were many sharks in the South China Sea.

Even if they were lucky enough not to encounter vicious sharks, how long could they last immersed in the cold sea water like this?

I was carrying a heavy bronze mirror on my back, and I even grabbed a few wooden boards, but they were all rotten and loose, making it difficult for people to carry them, so I had to pull the lifeguard on my shoulder.

A small life-saving airbag was immediately filled with gas and floated up and down on the sea surface.

While I was complaining, I suddenly heard Shiry Yang calling me: "Old Hu, look quickly, there is a boat."

I thought I heard it wrong.

How could there be a ship in the Coral Spiral Sea?

But at this time, Fatty and others were also shouting on the sea, as if everyone had really discovered the ship.

I took a closer look, but it was not an alien ship.

It turned out that the top of the oak tree, although there was no passage, was hollowed out inside.

Inside were some strange burial objects.

After the oak tree shattered, it was scattered Floating in the sea, there is a complete ancient ship hidden in it.

This ship has a shallow bottom, short masts, and an oval hull.

It seems to be a burial object prepared for the undead at the bottom of the sea.

In our words, this ship is a visible vessel.

Amidst the surging waves, we couldn't see clearly what was going on with the ship for a while, but at this time we finally had a life-saving straw.

Let alone the ship being a visible weapon, even if it was a ghost ship, we had to climb up first.

I am afraid that if there is even a slight hesitation, once the waves on the sea increase in magnitude, everyone will be swept away by the waves in an instant.

I quickly cheered up and swam to the side of the ship.

Only when I got closer did I realize that the bottom of the ship was made of the bone armor of a giant turtle.

It was about one size larger than an ordinary lifeboat and could accommodate five people.

There's nothing wrong with six people.

There was only one shallow cabin in the ship that no one could enter, and it contained some funerary objects such as corals.

Because it was for the dead, there was nothing practical.

The boat uses whale skin as a sail and shark tendons as cables.

Compared with ordinary wooden boats, this nearly fossilized tortoise shell and whale bone boat can last as long as new and can still be used today.

But this ancient ship is just like a superficial model.

If it encounters strong winds and huge waves, it will surely be buried under the sea.

But we didn't care about that much anymore.

We helped Lu get on the "Pluto Ship" one after another, and he lay on the tortoise shell panting.

No one had the strength to move anymore.

Now is not the windy season at sea.

Once the sea air condensed by the southern dragon in the eye of the sea disappears, we will most likely not be as worried as when we came.

As long as Mazu protects us from hurricanes and waves, we will live on this lonely boat, at least You don’t have to worry about falling into the sea and feeding the sharks for the time being.

Duoling in the boat was still unconscious, and the rest of the people were a little tired and exhausted.

They closed their eyes and fell asleep in exhaustion.

At this moment, they didn't want to open their eyes even if the sky fell.

My eyelids were fighting, and I was confused for an hour or two.

I was still vaguely thinking about the details of the "Mountain Moving Technique" in my mind, and I was thinking hard about how to use the Taoist's magic to move mountains without food or water.

Sail the bone ship back to Coral Temple Island.

In the second half of the night, I felt hungry and unbearable.

When I woke up, I saw that Shiry Yang had also woken up at some point, leaning on the whalebone mast and gazing at the stars.

I also looked at the dense stars in the sky and was lost in thought for a while.

The experience of going out to sea this time flashed through my mind one by one.

With deep feelings in my heart, I couldn't help but said to Shiry Yang: "I also knew that the Coral Spiral Sea was dangerous and unpredictable.

But it happened all at once, and now we are in this situation, with a boat full of priceless green heads, but not a pot of water and half a piece of dry food.

Looking back, we must have gone crazy at that time."

Shiry Yang said: "You are just a lunatic.

I am a fool at best.

I was tricked by you into going crazy with you."

I quickly defended myself and said, "I'm crazy because of Professor Chen's instigation.

I really admire the seniors in ancient times who spent their entire lives moving mountains and moving mountains.

This kind of life where you don't know what will happen tomorrow and have no home in the world is so difficult."

Not everyone can bear this kind of life.

Even if you have to die every day, you should live a peaceful life for a few days."

Shiry Yang sighed softly: "It would be great if you really had that kind of consciousness, but the world is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.

In your eyes, the scenery is always far away, and there is no scenery nearby.

You can't be honest at home for a few days.

But We are drifting on the sea this time, the sea is ruthless, but it is really worse than before.

I hope God bless us and don’t let us become Dutchmen flying in the sky.”

"Flying Dutchman" is synonymous with ghost ships.

This legend refers to being cursed and drifting on the sea forever without being able to dock.

I have heard Shiry Yang mention it before.

Now I can't help but feel a chill down my spine when I think about it.

I hurriedly think of a solution.

Divert your attention and examine the green heads fished out from the South China Sea.

In the past ten times, the captain who worked as a gold hunter was not as rich as this time as an egg farmer.

We have fished out almost all the things in the eyes of the South China Sea.

The most important thing among them is, Of course, the Bone Mirror of the King of Qin, which is the first of the Eight Mirrors of the King of Qin, would be regarded as fulfilling a wish if it could be handed over to Professor Chen.

However, this bronze mirror had a dark atmosphere.

After I found it from the sunken ship, I kept it sealed in a bag and never looked at it again.

Now I took it out and took a closer look with Shirey Yang again.

The bright moon hangs high on the sea, but under the moonlight, the ancient mirror has no luster.

The mirror surface is very badly worn, and the fine seals carved on the mirror body are extremely fine.

The Xia wares are plain and have no patterns, while the Yin wares are simple and majestic, with lines like insects and fish swimming around.

However, the carved seals on the Qin King's Bone Mirror are like tadpoles forming a formation, like ancient hexagrams.

It is probably cast in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Secret weapon.

I was just claiming to be curious when my eyes fell on the four-legged mermaid on the corner of the bronze mirror, but I was stunned on the spot as if I had been sucked.

The four-legged fish decorated on the mirror body has a simple and expressive shape, but the fish eyes are empty and aimless, just like the bronze dragon charm I found in Baiyan Cave more than ten years ago.

The blind dragon talisman is also an ancient relic passed down from which dynasty and generation.

It was placed in Wong Tai Sin’s copper coffin and made into a bright object.

Now that I think about it carefully, the dragon talisman and the fish decoration on the bronze mirror reflect the style and style of the era.

They are very similar in shape and size.

Chen Qingzi, who makes a living as a fortune teller in Beijing, seems to know the secret, but he was in a hurry last time.

After I mentioned the blind dragon talisman, he only made a "four" gesture, and then disappeared.

I have thought about it many times, but I can't guess what "four" means.

Now that I see the purposeless four-legged fish as decoration on the bronze mirror, I am even more confused.

Could it be that "four" refers to the four kinds of bronze?

Ancient artifacts, dragon and fish are each one of them, what are the other two?

What are these eyeless copper beasts used for?

What secrets are hidden in them?

The tadpole pattern on the bone mirror of King Qin seems to contain hexagram numbers.

Perhaps these mysterious eyeless copper dragons and copper fish are related to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Related to the hexagrams throughout the period.

The sixteen-character all-tian hexagram number contains infinite opportunities and can be deduced into various hexagrams.

The hexagrams need to be interpreted using hexagram texts.

These are really difficult for my half-hearted level, but the ancient ancestors of the Dan people passed down from generation to generation the most original hexagram numbering formula for the whole sky of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although the formula is not It is complicated, but the content is more profound than what Zhang Yingchuan, the descendant of the author of the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique, studied.

However, the Dan people have always regarded these hexagrams as incantations to protect themselves at the bottom of the sea, and they seem not to know their origins.

Thinking of this, I turned my head and looked at the sleeping Guchai, thinking that it would be better to wait until he woke up and ask him about King Qin's bone mirror.

Maybe he would know the mystery behind the blind copper beast.

I was thinking wildly on the boat.

At this time, Fatty and Uncle Ming also woke up from hunger.

The sea was calm and the tide was calm.

I don’t know where the broken boat was drifting to now.

Everyone drank the last few drops of water in the kettle to moisten their throats, and discussed how to catch a few flying fish and eat them raw to satisfy their hunger if there were flying fish passing by the boat.

I also felt very hungry, so I reinstalled the King of Qin's bone mirror and said to everyone: "Revolution is to treat guests to a meal.

If you don't fill your stomach, you won't have the energy to do anything.

You should treat eating and drinking with the attitude of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves." and appetite, we can’t be careless, so we have to think of something quickly.”

Fatty and Uncle Ming and I talked and tried to catch fish.

Uncle Ming said that there are flying fish in the South China Sea, and they often swim in groups on the sea.

When the sky gets bright, as long as the pearl is used as a guide, the flying fish with wings can pass by the side of the ship.

But it was still midnight, and we waited at the bow of the boat for a long time but no fish came out of the water.

We had no choice but to wait until dawn before making any calculations.

When we turned around, we saw Shiry Yang checking on the unconscious Duoling.

There is no medical treatment in the vast ocean.

If she remains unconscious, her life may be in danger.

The situation is not optimistic.

Shiry Yang noticed that her condition was deteriorating and asked me to help her check Duoling's pulse.

But as soon as I touched Duoling's wrist, I felt that there was something hidden under her sleeve, and she seemed to be wearing a watch.

I thought it was a diving watch, so I wanted to take it off for her, but unexpectedly, Duoling was wearing a watch on her wrist. , but it was the diamond-encrusted gold watch that the fat man took off the arm of the dead man on the shipwreck.

When the fat man saw this, he wanted to take the watch back, but the gold watch was deeply embedded in the flesh of Duoling's wrist.

It might be possible to dig it out with a knife.

I looked at the gold watch and wondered: "Why did this gold watch come to her?"

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly smelled an extremely fishy smell in the sea breeze.

We have dealt with dead bodies many times, and we all felt it smelled like corpses, but there were no rotting corpses on the boat, which made us feel strange.

Uncle Ming even dumped the ancient corpses for more than ten years, and when he smelled them, he knew they definitely smelled like corpses.

Everyone sniffed each other's bodies for a long time before confirming that the corpse odor came from Duoling.

After careful inspection, they found that she did have less obvious corpse spots on her body, and there were a few drops of fishy corpse oil in her mouth and nose. outflow.

I had long felt that the shipwreck of the Mariesen was not peaceful, and that there might be something wrong with the captain's gold watch.

At this time, I didn't care whether it would hurt Duoling's flesh, so I used a diving dagger to forcefully pick out the gold watch. broken and thrown into the sea.

Uncle Ming said in shock: "Oh no, the gold watch was fished out from the sunken ship.

I'm afraid one of the gold watches may have been exposed to the Nanyang's head-dropping witchcraft.

What's the use of just throwing the gold watch away?

Now the head-dropping spell has been cast on her."

The smell of her corpse is worse than the infectious disease.

If you don’t throw A Ling into the sea to feed the fish, no one on our boat will survive. " Uncle Ming had been wandering around Nanyang for a long time.

When he saw the smell of the body in the gold watch, he decided that someone had lowered his head.

The three techniques of "subjugation, poison, and vexation" are also known as the three major evil arts in Nanyang. vexation is a strange poison made by various incredible methods; the principle of voodoo is inseparable from the word "confusion", which is to cultivate poisonous insects.

Put poison to make people lose their mind and use evil methods ; And the head-dropping technique is a sorcery that uses spells, corpses, and ghosts as media to harm people.

The corpse-dropping and ghost-dropping derived from it can quickly lead to the death of a large number of humans and animals like infectious diseases, even worse than the plague, most of all.
