Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Shirley Yang smiled and said: "Why do you have to quote scriptures for everything? Doesn't it seem particularly convincing? But what you said does make sense. To work together in the same boat, we need to be united. Mutual trust is extremely important. Can you trust the boss of the ship, Ruan Is it dark?”

I had expected that she would ask such a question, but I still pondered for a moment and thought about it before saying: "I only heard that Ruan Hei is a Vietnamese-Chinese who lived on the island for refuge. I don't know about his past experience. I don’t know what he is thinking in his heart, but the essence can be expressed through phenomena. Judging from the contacts these days, I think he... is a trustworthy egg farmer. I have joined a team in the mountainous area, and I have come into contact with countless working people when I was in the army and doing business, so I believe my eyesight will not be wrong."

Shirley Yang said: "That's great. Since you can trust him, you should be tolerant. I think the boss of the ship also has his reasons, so you shouldn't pry into the things behind the cabin and destroy the things on the ship." Rules, although I am also curious about them, but I think we should respect the advice of the ship boss more. This is called trusting those who are employed and not using those who are suspicious."

Under Shirley Yang's persuasion, I had no choice but to suppress my curiosity and promised not to break this taboo unless it was absolutely necessary. Then we returned to the cabin and started eating Duo Ling's food, three meals a day on the boat. She prepared it, but the amount of water on the ship was strictly limited, so the diet was very monotonous. We took the opportunity of eating to gather everyone together and discuss the most important things to prepare for entering the coral spiral. From west to east on the sea, after passing the current bottomless trough, the terrain of the seabed will suddenly rise. Bounded by the corrugated line of the submarine ridge, the sea area to the east completely belongs to the coral spiral. It seems like a sunken archipelago. Surrounded by deep sea, the seabed shows a huge drop, and the spiral is very close to the sea surface.

The coral spiral is divided into two layers of large coral reefs, the inner and outer layers. It is very large, with a diameter of about one hundred nautical miles. Its specific shape is completely unexplored. The area in the middle of the two spirals is sunken and is filled with dense coral forests and trenches. Because this area of ​​the seabed The two mountains are surrounded by sea air that has condensed for tens of thousands of years. Storms and thunderstorms in the sky are constant all year round. Electronic equipment often malfunctions. There are also legends such as will-o'-the-wisps and ghosts on the seabed. Therefore, in recent hundreds of years, few people have dared to enter. Speculative explorers and salvage ships risked their lives to go there, but they never returned. I don’t know whether it was because they lost their way or encountered other shipwrecks. Some egg farmers went to the sea to collect eggs for a living, and at most they only dared to go to the seabed outside the big spiral. Tie Shu collects eggs from inside and never dares to go beyond the thunder pond. Even Uncle Ming and his uncle have never gone in. Uncle Ming's uncle died when he encountered a vicious fish at the bottom of the water when he was working as an egg farmer in the outer spiral. , the corpse will not be allowed to return to its homeland.

The sunken ship carrying the "King of Qin's Bone Mirror" is called the "Marisennu". It is a private luxury cruise ship that belongs to a wealthy man in Nanyang. The ship deviated from its course in the storm, strayed into the coral spiral, ran aground on the rocks, and sank. The only Surviving crew members described that where the Marymount sank, the bottom of the sea was illuminated by latent fire, and the scene seemed like witnessing a crystal palace floating and looming on the bottom of the sea.

There is a large amount of oil and gas on the bottom of the South China Sea, and there are active volcanoes erupting from time to time underground. However, the oil and gas eruptions do not have such great energy, and there are no submarine volcanoes in the sea near the coral spiral. There are only "dragon fires" formed by sea air as mentioned in Feng Shui. , coupled with the reflection of the moonlight pearls in the nearby giant clam shells, it is possible to illuminate the seabed clearly. However, this spectacle is not easily seen, and there are only about once or twice a month.

In Feng Shui, the earth, mountains and rocks in the world are divided into nine categories, including tombs, sites, temples, ruins, covers, etc. The Yin Qi in the ruins area is the strongest and can absorb the essence of the sun, moon and stars. It is said that the pearls of old clams on the seabed can respond The moon borrowed the energy of the Yin essence in the ruins. Judging from the two unique clues of the Yin Fire and the Southern Pearl on the seabed, the "Mary Senu" must have entered the coral spiral near the eye of the coral spiral. As long as If you find the remaining veins of Nanlong on the seabed, it will not be difficult to find sunken ships and underwater forests with swarms of old clams.

The biggest difficulty our salvage team faces now is how to enter the dense coral spiral of the reef. After entering, if the weather is bad, how can we identify the direction without a compass? The biggest obstacle that explorers face together is that if they cannot overcome it, they can only despair.

Fortunately, we have mastered the secret miraculous skills of ancient Chinese tomb robbers. The Feng Shui secrets of Mo Jin Xiaowei have a precise discussion of the remaining veins of the Nanlong. Although the Nanlong originates from Mount Emei and finally enters the sea from Zhejiang, but The largest remnant vein in the sea extends to the end of the South China Sea. The sea air mentioned in Feng Shui is partly about the concept of tidal movement. Based on current principles, it actually refers to the gravitational effect of the moon and the sun. Ocean tides are a cyclical rise and fall phenomenon of sea water. Because they are related to astronomical phenomena, they are also called "astronomical tides". Although the phenomenon of rising seas is the same, there is an artificial distinction in time. Daytime is the tide, and nighttime is the tide. For Xi.

The moon and the sun are at different distances from the earth. The moon's tidal force is more than twice as strong as the sun. Therefore, the size and rise and fall times of the tides are not fixed. They mainly change with the movement of the moon, plus the topographic depth of each sea area, and Affected by factors such as longitude and latitude, in addition to the semidiurnal tide that rises and falls twice a day, there are also diurnal tides that rise and fall once a day, and mixed tides that mix twice or once a day. They appear as rising and falling tide levels in the vertical direction, and as high and low tides in the horizontal position. The tide ebbs and flows.

In the coral spiral sea area at the end of Nanlong, due to the turbulence of the sea air, chaotic mixed tides most often occur. There are spring tides around the first and fifteenth day of each month. The "Mary Sennu" encountered a storm surge during the full moon. The sea disaster coincided with the astronomical tide, and the huge waves were swept into the coral spiral that was difficult for large ships to enter.

We encountered a water dragon last night at sea, and almost capsized the boat. However, we had pretty good luck in sailing this time. Because we were well prepared, even if there were some twists and turns, we had no danger. We didn’t encounter any major difficulties, and we got a rare mouthful of water. Those who know the ancient stone mirror coffin are all excited. At this time, they adjusted their course and wandered along the edge of the trough. They sailed until it was almost dawn. The sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the sun, moon and stars could not be seen. The wind and waves were high on the sea. The compass began to fail, which was the omen of arriving at the Coral Spiral. After receiving the message from Uncle Ming through the thousand-mile transmission tube, Shirley Yang and I hurried to the cockpit and took out a prepared wooden box and a black earthen jar. , preparing to use the secret technique recorded in moving mountains and reclamating the sea, just waiting for the opportunity to come, and taking advantage of the rising tide in the morning, to pass through the reef group outside the coral spiral in one fell swoop.
