Ghost Blowing Lantern II

The British salvage team spent a lot of effort to modify the sea willow boat, intending to enter the "Coral Spiral" waters to fish for green heads, but it was not successful and they all died in the bottom of the sea willow boat. The islanders of Coral Temple Island were worried about this. The matter is so murky that most of the islanders, including the black market businessman "Bai Wu", don't know the details of the incident. Only Ruan Hei seems to know some details, but now that he is dead, we can't get any more information from him. No matter what the message, once you encounter something lethal hidden in the bottom of the cabin, you have no idea how to deal with it.

But fishing for green heads in the sea is such a dangerous business? Just as I was afraid, it happened. The shark's head smashed open the hidden mezzanine of the cabin. A stream of lifeless black water flowed out from the eye sockets of the dead man's skull in the cabin. I hurriedly pulled up the fat man squatting on the ground. , hurriedly took a few steps back.

At this time, the water level subsided, and the water surface in the bilge only passed the feet. But when I walked around, I still had to wade through the water. Moreover, the water level in Guixu was not stable. It rose and fell irregularly. I saw that the momentum was wrong. If he stayed in the bottom cabin, he would probably die in the same unknown manner as the British people. The British salvage team has many experts in exploration and navigation and salvage. With their rich experience and sophisticated equipment, they can still survive. He lost his life. It must have happened suddenly and there was no way to prevent it.

The fat man and I took a few steps back, and saw that as the shadows in the sea stone flower turned into black water flowing out, several diving flashlights equipped on us and the waterproof light mouth in front of us flashed several times at the same time, and the lights seemed to It was disturbed, flickered on and off, and made a short "cracking" sound. Unlike a strong searchlight, the maximum voltage specification of the battery power supply of the diving flashlight is only "3.8V 0.5A". It is difficult to imagine that the quartz bulb will Make this noise.

The beam of the flashlight flashed on and off, which made my eyes dazzled. Seeing that the light and shadow in the dark bottom cabin were blurry, I hurriedly patted the head of the flashlight a few times before the beam stabilized, but the quartz bulb in the lamp mouth seemed to be blurry. The loss was excessive, and the light that came out was much darker than before.

The light in the cabin was weak, and I felt a chill in the water under my feet. It seemed that something hiding in the cabin was hiding in the water, and at any time, like a water ghost pulling a person's legs and feet, a ghostly hand grabbed my ankle, maybe it was Because I couldn't see clearly in the dark, this feeling became more and more intense, and my fear of "water" was uncontrollable for a while.

The four of us, the fat man, trembled in fear and took a few steps back. Our backs were already pressed against a row of stacked cargo boxes. There was no way to retreat from behind. Guchai was a little afraid of ghosts, so he panicked and tried to He ran away, and I quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't move rashly." Where can a blind person run? Now and since we have collided with each other, if there is really some fierce ghost hiding in the bottom cabin, if there is no end here, even if we escape from the Trident, we will continue to be entangled, like a bereaved dog or a fish that has escaped the net. If you trespass randomly, you will surely lose your life in vain.

In fact, in the current situation, it is difficult for me to judge whether to escape or stay. I just adhere to the basic principle of not letting the hawk know the rabbit. Before I am sure whether I can escape safely from the bottom of the cabin, I cannot easily risk the lives of others. , the light of the flashlight was too dim, and it was difficult to do anything in the bottom cabin where the sun was not visible. I could no longer rely on them. I touched it in the diving bag and found that there was still a phosphorescent tube left.

Since I became a captain, I have been very dependent on lighting equipment out of professional habits. I am afraid that I will not bring enough. The phosphorescent tube is full of white phosphorus, which can be used for lighting underwater. The light is far more intense than fluorescent light, so it is suitable to use it on the water. It was not suitable for the environment. After the flashlight broke, I was eager to get some light, so I had to take out the phosphorescent tube, pull the collar, and throw it into the water a few centimeters deep in the bottom tank.

The white phosphorus immediately emitted a dazzling light in the water. Although there was a barrier of water in the bilge, I still felt a sting in front of my eyes. In the pale light that made my head swell, I could only see the black water flowing out of the sea stone flower. It gathered itself into a ghostly figure that resembled a human figure. The floating black water just blocked the way to the upper cabin. Several strange fish hit the cabin with their heads and were caught in the black water in the bilge. They floated silently. , fell to the ground and died.

In an instant, a few strange fish kowtowed like garlic, leaving only scattered dead fish everywhere. These strange fish did not die when they left the water, but when they were touched by the black water, they all died abruptly. The cabin suddenly became silent, and a ghostly black water, like a piece of black cloth floating in the water, floated past the body of the white shark lying on the bottom of the cabin, and floated towards us silently.

I saw the black water leaping over the shark carcass above the water, and secretly screamed that it was not good. If it could only exist in the water, we would still have a chance to survive. But now that it can dehydrate and move around with dead fish clinging to the deck, we are still alive. Where can I hide? The four of them had no choice but to shout and quickly spread out to dodge. In the white phosphorescence, a dark patch of sewage stood up from the bulkhead and floated up to the ceiling. All the sea willow structures in the hull were From all parts, black water like dirty blood oozed out.

The fat man jumped onto the wooden box where supplies were stored and shouted to me: "Commander Hu, quickly take a bronze mirror and look at it!" I dodged here and there and climbed onto a wooden box. When I heard the fat man's cry, I stretched out my hand. I touched the diving bag containing the "King of Qin Bone Mirror". The cold and hard bronze mirror was in it. But the black water flowing out of the sea stone flower was extraordinary. The bronze mirror could only hold down the corpse. How could it be done? To deal with this ghostly backwater?

I saw black water rising up to the ceiling, and a gap appeared in front of the door, so I pointed at the hatch to Shirley Yang and asked her to take this opportunity to take Gucai out quickly. Fatty and I would try to find a way to delay here for a while. Shirley Yang wasn't The kind of person who likes to chew on love, she should understand that the terrain of the bottom cabin is narrow, and if she stays down there, she will not be able to move, but will be easily restricted by the terrain and cause accidents. So she immediately grabbed Guchai's arm, pulled him and ran towards the hatch.

The black water on the top seemed to be conscious. It sensed that Shirley Yang and Gu Cai were trying to escape. It floated across the deck, like a black flag blown by the strong wind, and fell straight from the top. Shirley Yang saw that the situation was not good. , dragging Guchai to make a turn, causing splashes of water to flash towards the inside of the hold. In this way, the four people who had just dispersed were forced to one side of the cargo hold again.

Moreover, there are piled cargo boxes all around, and the body of a giant shark is on the ground. If you want to jump into the water through the hole in the bilge, it is equivalent to feeding the shark yourself. It is nothing more than a different way to die. That black shadow It seemed to be invisible and not water. It moved like a ghost in the cabin. In the phosphorescent light, I felt my eyes go dark, and the ghost shadow floated in front of me. I knew that as soon as anyone touched this shadow, their heart would stop beating immediately. He died on the spot, but there was no way out and nothing could resist him.

When death was imminent, I couldn't help but feel a little scared in my heart. I felt that my back was cold, but then I realized something was wrong. It wasn't because I had lost my life, but because I was scared that my heart was cold. The place where my back was leaning was so cold. A piece of stone wall, this chill comes from behind. In my impression, there is nothing so gloomy and cold in the sea willow boat. I didn't bother to look back, I just touched it with my hand, and I immediately woke up. Before I entered the "Coral Spiral" , a floating stone coffin was salvaged from the sea. The sarcophagus hidden inside was well preserved and made of a rare "stone mirror".

"Stone mirror" is an ancient wood on the seabed turned into stone. The layers are as smooth as a mirror, and it also has the yin energy of the seafloor. It has been impacted by the ocean tides for thousands of years, forming layers of undulating ripples in the stone. The denser the texture, the harder it is. Huainan Wanbi Shu, a branch of Wu Feng Shui, once clearly mentioned the theory that stone can suppress ghosts. There are screen walls at the entrances of old courtyards and old houses. One is to block the family wealth from leaking, and the other is to prevent ghosts from entering the house. Among the earliest screen walls They are all made of bluestone bricks, and kiln bricks were gradually used later. People who know how to build a house still have to bury stones under the walls. This is the principle of using stones to suppress ghosts and ward off evil spirits.

People rebel when they are anxious, and dogs jump over the wall when they are anxious. Methods and ways to survive are all forced out under the last resort. This idea flashed in my mind. They say that touching the life of Colonel Jin is the hardest among tomb robbers. Yes, if there is really no end to the road, the ancient stone mirror coffin behind us is our only chance. The sarcophagus is placed in the cabin and is always used to store items that need to be prevented from rotting and deteriorating. With the large amount of materials in the coral spiral, It was exhausted and used, and now it was just an empty coffin, with the stone lid lying aside. I saw that the black ghost floating in the water was approaching, so I quickly built a ladder with the fat man's hands, and let Shirley Yang and Guchai climb up the side and tie them up. On the cargo box together.

The black water like a shadow came in and out so fast, and it was at my feet in an instant. A gloomy chill surged. I pulled the fat man, and the two of them lifted their legs and collapsed into the sarcophagus. The black water clung to the coffin wall and flowed into it. After entering the coffin, the fat man and I cursed: "You son of a bitch, you got here so fast..." We hurriedly pulled out, crossed the black water, and jumped out of the ancient stone mirror coffin. The phosphorus light from the bilge did not enter the sarcophagus. In the cold coffin, there was a strong black tide of Yin Qi.

I know that if this piece of black water is really a ghost attached to the sea willow boat, as long as the lid of the coffin is closed, it will never come out. How dare I hesitate now and lift the lid of the coffin before the black water gushes out of the coffin again? He buckled it up, then turned over and sat down to press it down. The sarcophagus was clasped together, like a solid armor surrounded by no gaps. The only sound of water roaring in the sarcophagus was heard, like the roaring waves of sea water. It took a long time to calm down.

Looking at the black water flowing out of the sea willows on the four walls, those hard ten thousand-year-old sea willows seemed to have lost their vitality and instantly turned into rotten wood. This sea willow ship that has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats can be considered a complete success. It was scrapped, but everyone felt very lucky to have survived. If this ancient coffin had not been fished out of the sea before, or if it had not been placed in the bottom cabin, today I am afraid that it would be like the British salvage team. Bai Di explained this place, but what exactly is in the cabin? Is it a ghost or an object? No way of knowing yet.

When I saw Shirley Yang getting off the cargo box, I asked her to take Guchai up first. Then I asked the fat man to find some thick ropes for tying the goods. These ropes were made of a mixture of yellow vine, silk brown, and human hair. It couldn't be broken after being soaked in water for many years. I tied it to the sarcophagus dozens of times and tied it with seven or eight knots. At this time, the entire hull of the sea willow was about to fall apart. The hull made a creaking sound. It looked like Soon they will be scattered from the stranded stone pillars into the water, and the sarcophagus will also sink into the ruins.

I touched the "King Qin Bone Mirror" in my bag and waved to the fat man. The two of them climbed onto the deck in the rickety cabin. The water surface was still calm and calm as before. After Shirley Yang joined Uncle Ming, he was already After putting down two small boats, Uncle Ming, Guchai, and Duoling took one together. Ruan Hei's body wrapped in white cloth was also among them. The fat man and I jumped into the other lifeboat where Shirley Yang was.

As soon as they stepped onto the rubber boat, the Trident behind them began to spin away from inside and outside. The hull became fragmented. Things on the boat fell into the water with a splash. In a moment, only a mess of debris was left on the water. Silently, I watched the sea willow ship sink in pieces from beginning to end. I thought that this ship, which had accompanied us through life and death at sea and passed through the stormy waves, would disappear into the sea of ​​​​return to ruins and cease to exist. Thinking of this, I felt sad in my heart. It's like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and there's an indescribable taste.

Uncle Ming had already learned from Shirley Yang about how we recovered the "King of Qin Bone Mirror" from the sunken ship. As he saw the wreckage of the ship gradually sinking to the bottom of the water, his face looked very ugly: "I still hope to find it." I needed some things to repair the boat... But now there are no sea willow boats, only two small boats are left. We are in the vast sea, and there is no trace of land within a few hundred nautical miles. How can we return to Coral Temple Island? "

Shirley Yang said that getting lost in this chaotic sea hidden under the "eye of the sea" is the biggest trouble at hand. Only by trying to return to the real sea surface of the coral spiral can it be possible to seek rescue at sea. Look, Lao Hu What should we do now?

I looked around and saw the misty sea air. The yin fire above my head appeared and disappeared in the rock formations, like stars hanging upside down. I was in a small boat floating on the sea. It was like a boat sailing through the sky. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't see it. The edges of the Guixu River seem to be the same in the east, west, north and south. I really don't know where to cross them.

When Shirley Yang asked me, I could only grin and say, "This place is really big. It would be great if we had a pedal boat. It would be a fool's errand to row out the lifeboat with just the strength of my arms." In fact, what I said is also the truth. , compared with escaping from the sea with a lifeboat, and how to return to the real sea from this chaotic and boundless sea of ​​​​return to the sea, how to paddle with the wooden paddle of the boat continuously for a long time is the primary problem, and how can this small boat hold up? Occasional swells? Who knows if there are any boat-eating fish in the sea?

Uncle Ming became even more worried when he heard what I said: "Why go back to the ruins? The Buddhist scriptures say that there are eight thousand weak waters, and it is difficult to cross without death. We must have fallen into the weak water. The weak water is stagnant water, and there will be no exit." Door, no one can hope to go back alive. Poor my good daughter Axiang, she was abducted by you and taken to the United States. Who can take care of her in the future?"

I said to Uncle Ming: "Weak water is just a metaphor. How can there really be weak water in the world? Don't worry about it. In addition to touching gold, Xiaowei is best at looking at the word "Qingwu Kanyu". Analyzing and dismantling the geographical veins, the eye of the sea is where the southern dragon sea energy condenses. Feng Shui says that dragons cannot be hidden in stagnant water. The dragon fire sea energy here is unparalleled in the world. If it were stagnant water, there would be no dragon energy on this scale, so according to the In my opinion, there must be living water under Guixu, but this is an elusive undercurrent. In addition to a large number of shipwrecks and ancient building ruins, there are also deep canyons surging with hot springs and boiling water. There should be something under the coral spiral sea. There are a lot of geothermal freshwater resources. Otherwise, if the salt content of the seawater is too high, there will be no place for the old snails and giant clams that hide their eggs to survive. If you can try to find out the direction of the water veins, you may be able to dive in the maze-like coral reefs. Return to the sea, but we can't rush around. Now we go to the ancient city that emerged from the water to bury Ruan Hei. After taking a short rest, we will then consider the long term, assess the situation, and find a way forward and retreat. This is Captain Jin's specialty. My sixteen-character yin-yang feng shui secret technique is not a flyover technique - it looks good but is useless."

I tried to bluff people with Jin Xiaowei’s secret skills, but I actually didn’t have a good idea for the time being. But although Uncle Ming made his fortune by running boats in Nanyang, his ancestors were also tomb robbers who carried corpses in the south, and he often resold them himself. There are valuable mummies, such as princes from the Western Regions, generals in the desert, princesses from Loulan, fragrant corpses from Tianshan Mountains, and mummies from Qin and Han Dynasties... There are no mummies that he has not dealt with. Of course, most of the "names" of the mummies are He pressed it on randomly by himself, thinking that he could be regarded as a semi-invincible craftsman. In the eyes of ordinary tomb robbers, Captain Mo Jin was the best in this industry and had extraordinary abilities. Therefore, when he mentioned this matter, Uncle Ming I really felt a lot more at ease. Now that the target was determined, everyone picked up the oars and rowed the two small boats on the water, slowly sailing away.

While the fat man was rowing, he looked at the gold watch he fished out from the sunken ship. The gold watch was reflected by the dragon fire veins like moonlight in the sky, making it even more brilliant. The fat man looked at it for a long time without recognizing the brand, so he raised his hand. Let Shirley Yang identify it, is it Omega?

As soon as I looked at the gold watch, I immediately remembered that on board the Mary Sennu, I had seen a bearded man wearing a gold watch lying behind Guchai in a broken mirror. Could it be the ghost of the captain? The situation under the water was chaotic at that time, and no one except me noticed it. However, there was nothing unusual about Guchai after that, so I put the matter behind my mind for the time being. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a peek. Gu guess.

Guchai suffered some minor injuries, and his senior sister Duoling had already helped him with emergency treatment. Although he was tired at this time, he still insisted on helping row the boat with his savagery and tenacity.

When I looked at him, Gucai couldn't help but turn his head and look at the water behind him. I saw that he was behaving abnormally and immediately asked him what he was looking at. When Guchai heard my words, he stared and replied: "Ghosts, there are ghosts."
