Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The "Trident" seemed to be completely absorbed by the sea water, struggling hard in the abyss surrounded by sea walls, but it didn't seem to move at all. We held each other's hands in the cockpit to encourage ourselves, and we all wanted to look for it on each other's faces. Some confidence gave him the courage to face the unimaginable test before him. However, under the shock of this great change, everyone looked at each other, and no one looked any better, as if they were dead.

At this moment, the metallic roar that sounded like the breaking of steel bars suddenly approached, and a huge shadow slowly appeared from above the water wall. The wreckage of the front half of a giant steel ship slowly poked out from the water wall, like a ship. The ship in the sky reached the vertical water wall waterfall and was about to fall to the lower sea surface.

At this moment, the sea scene was completely immersed in a kind of terrifying and boundless desolation. In an almost frozen moment, two seas seemed to appear on and off the ship at the same time, one sea hanging in the sky, and the other was the "Trident" The surface of the sea that we couldn't break free from, the sea in the sky, dropped out of it many things brought up from the bottom of the sea. Sunken ships, broken anchors, whale bones, salamanders, and things that were deposited on the bottom of the sea were all turned up. Before our eyes, It was tens of millions of tons of sea water, carried into the sky by the rising sea air, and divided into hundreds of thick water walls hanging overhead. The wreckage of a sunken ship on the seabed was also pushed up into the sky by the strong rising airflow. Because it was in At the edge, the remains of the unknown giant ship were about to slide down from high altitude like the fish thrown out by the sea water.

Uncle Ming raised his hand and pointed in the air, opened his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one could hear his voice, and his ears were covered by the continuous roar. I knew that he probably wanted to say: "The sunken ship is about to crash down. It's right above our heads!" But words lost their effect at this time. I waved my hand and pointed hard to the left, signaling Ruan Hei at the helm: "If we don't get the boat out quickly, we will be done with it..."

The owner of the ship, Ruan Hei, had a vein popping up on his forehead. He turned the rudder desperately, and the hull of the "Trident" finally hit the side. The black wreckage of the giant ship fell on the "Trident" like a heavy bomb dropped from a high altitude. On the sea surface where the bow of the ship had just stopped, water splashed and stirred up a powerful wave. The ship's hull was hit by the roaring waves, swaying this way and that like leaves falling in the wind, and was surrounded by dangers for a while.

As soon as the wreckage of the fallen shipwreck fell, all the water dragons were suddenly pulled up into the air, and the two parts of the sea were separated. The thick wall of water blocked all the sky, dark clouds gathered around, and the sea was pitch black. In the blink of an eye, it was just a stone's throw away. Unrecognizable, after a short period of stillness, suddenly strong winds and heavy rain poured down. I have never seen such heavy rain in my life. The wind and waves were rolling, just like the Milky Way flowing backwards, and the waves on the sea surface were rolling, and the "Trident" was under the heavy rain. The sea surface rose and fell, being thrown up and down one after another by huge waves.

We held tightly to all the fixed objects around us in the cabin, and felt that all the internal organs in our chests were being thrown thousands of feet high into the sky by the stormy waves, and then fell again. Falling into the bottomless abyss, being tortured to the point of being in a state of confusion. When a person reaches this point, he has absolutely no control over himself and can only resign himself to fate.

Although the sea air has melted away, it has formed a hurricane on the sea surface. Atop the vast ocean with turbulent sea water and turbid waves emptying, our only hope is that the sea willow ship "Trident" modified by the British spirit can withstand the storm. They can survive this test, but even sea wolves like Uncle Ming and Ruan Hei cannot tell how long this storm will last.

In this case, the person who suffered the most in the salvage team on the ship was Fatty, especially because he couldn't bear to be swept up into the sky by the waves, and then fell down like a kite with a broken string. Sea water and heavy rain kept hitting the observation window of the cockpit. Up there, the sky and the sea were so dark that it was impossible to tell the difference between the front and the back. Seeing this, his face almost turned green with fright. Although the wind and waves were strong at this time, there was no dragon-like golden wind whimpering in the air. I heard the fat man keep chanting: "Goddess of Heaven, bless me. Goddess of Heaven, please come and bless me. I will go back to offer you incense and fruits to rebuild your golden body... I will kowtow to you first. Come and help me..."

I know that Fatty doesn’t care about anything except being afraid of heights. Now even if I follow the old method and close my eyes, it won’t help. Huge waves are coming from the sea, leaving no room for breathing. He even prayed to God and worshiped Buddha. You can imagine how scared he was. I was worried that he would be so scared that he would lose all his limbs and roll into the sea from the cabin, so I quickly asked Guchai and Duoling to hold him down tightly. , don't let him get scared and have an accident.

On the sea, Uncle Ming pointed to alcohol to strengthen his courage. He bit open the wine bottle and drank a few sips. On the contrary, he was much calmer than others. When he heard the fat man begging the Queen of Heaven to come and bless him, he suddenly lost his mind. In desperation, he stuffed the mouth of the wine bottle into the fat man's mouth. : "Queen of Heaven...Oh my God, you are such a big-headed idiot. Fat boy, have you made a mistake? You still dare to talk nonsense at this time...Drink quickly, drink and stop your mouth."

The Queen of Heaven is a deity revered by all people. It turns out that when sailors encounter storms and waves, if they ask the Queen of Heaven for her blessing, the wind and waves will calm down and the boat will be safe. However, there is a taboo here. The word "Empress of Heaven" The title can only be used on land. For example, when burning incense and making vows in temples dedicated to Mazu such as Thean Hou Temple, you need to call "Tian Hou". When encountering dangers of wind and waves at sea, do not call "Tian Hou, Goddess of Mercy, bless you." Instead, you must call out "Mazu bless you." As for asking the Queen for blessings, you cannot even mention it at sea.

In fact, "Tian Hou" and "Mazu" are the same thing, but there are almost no people who run boats all year round who are not superstitious. According to the superstitious saying at sea, when encountering rough waves and capsizing the boat, if the people on the boat shout "Tian Hou" Empress, help me. Although the Empress of Heaven will definitely come to save you, you must arrange the ceremonial guard first. The pomp and ceremony of the Queen of Heaven leaving the palace are too large and very time-consuming. When the Empress of Heaven arrives with her chariot, the cucumbers and vegetables are already cold. Unless they are tired of living, the crew and boat passengers would not dare to shout to the Queen of Heaven for help.

When encountering an emergency at sea, you must shout "Mazu bless you", so that the queen can dress lightly and appear at sea immediately to rescue the distressed person in the posture of Mazu. This is a recognized rule among sea wolves, so when Uncle Ming heard the fat man shouting The Queen of Heaven quickly blocked his mouth with wine, and then took the lead in shouting hoarsely in the wind and rain: "Mazu appears."
