Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Over time, it has become a deep-rooted habit. No matter whether you are at sea or even when you get home, you will not mention these words. You will simply pretend that these words have never existed in the world. In addition, you should also avoid whistling when sailing. This is common among fishermen. It is a taboo for fishermen and salvage teams to put their hands behind their backs on the deck, because putting their hands behind their backs is a sign of "catching the net behind their backs" and a sign of no harvest. The "big boss" on the ship cannot sit on it, and the bow of the ship cannot sit on it. In short, there are all kinds of tricks. And there are too many rules to count.

Fatty and I also went out on the boat several times when we were in Fujian. We fully understood and respected these rules, but we didn't take them too seriously. When the boss of the boat wasn't paying attention, Fatty and I sat on the main boat. , the owner is just a stake on the nail plate, and no accidents have occurred, but there are no rules, and it is difficult to make a circle. These taboos in navigation are probably similar to the rule of "don't touch gold when the rooster crows, the light is out", and they are to increase safety. coefficient, rather than deliberately harming people.

Shirley Yang also has a set of superstitious rules she learned in the U.S. Navy. They say that the United States is advanced in science and technology. In fact, when it comes to superstition, it is no more ambiguous than that of fishermen and egg people. Moreover, their rules are even more bizarre, even the water bottles for cleaning the deck. There is a clue as to how it should be placed.

Due to the different cultural backgrounds in each sea area, similar maritime boating regulations are also very different. This really fits that sentence. The seven of us come from all over the world and come together for a common goal. For this common We have to make compromises with each other, otherwise the customs and taboos of the southeast, northwest and northwest are all put on the same boat, and this operation will be restricted by many restrictions.

But there are some things that cannot be tolerated. Some taboos have existed on the ship for so many years. They must have their reasons and values, and we cannot ignore them. In the end, after negotiation, we could only give in, and agreed not to talk about turning over, overturning, or deducting. Unlucky words, respecting the Dragon King, worshiping "Mazu" as God, and other taboos can be avoided if possible. These are already very difficult, especially since we are used to talking about fighting upside down, and we can only carry them when we go to sea. The practice of reclaiming mountains and seas is gone.

At Shirley Yang's suggestion, I made Ruan Hei the boss of the ship, and he and Uncle Ming replaced each other at the helm of the ship. During the voyage before approaching the coral spiral waters, I will adopt a traditional and reliable navigation method, using charts, Ancient tools such as compasses, theodolite, and speedometer should be avoided as much as possible. Modern electronic equipment that is susceptible to interference should be avoided as much as possible. Both Uncle Ming and Ruan Hei can determine the approximate route based on the direction of the ocean currents. Experienced sea wolves know that the currents in the sea are different due to different terrains. , are naturally divided into several strands, and the underwater aquatic animals each occupy their own adapted environment, with the depth and shallowness of the current as the boundary, and rarely cross each other. The direction of the ocean current can be observed by throwing a buoy. It is not difficult, and the weather at sea is very ideal. , the wind and waves were calm, there should be nothing to worry about in the past few days of the voyage. After the compass began to malfunction and the sun, moon and stars were lost, Shirley Yang's technique of moving mountains and reclaiming seas came into play.

Everyone has experience of going to sea, and has seen a lot of strong winds and waves. Even if the waves are rough and the boat is heaving, no one will show signs of seasickness and vomiting. It’s just that the sea is vast and boundless. After entering the deep sea, you will be surrounded by endless blue water, not even a sea. Birds are also rare to see. Although the sea willow ship Trident is not big, it is divided into three levels. The middle level below the deck is divided into five cabins: front, middle and rear. The rear cabin is the largest and is filled with whole boxes of birds. Boxes of various supplies and clean water. The middle cabin and the front cabin are divided into two cabins, the left and right cabins. The largest middle cabin is used as a restaurant for eating. In addition to breathing on the deck, everyone spends most of their time here. The Jinpilu water cannons on both sides are also located in this cabin. This old-fashioned ship cannon is not used to deal with pirates, but can be used to bombard and repel big fish that suddenly appear in the sea to avoid being swallowed by the boat. When the fish is on a boat with its roof overturned, there are telephonic tubes between each cabin on the three floors. It is a copper tube that connects all the cabins. You can use it to quickly communicate. In addition to fuel, there are supplies in the other cabins. , it is so full that there is not much space, and it is inevitable that people will feel boring after spending a long time in the narrow decks and cabins of the ship.

The only solution is to drink. There are very few sea wolves who run boats who are not addicted to drinking. Uncle Ming does not drink alcohol easily, but when it is his turn to take the helm, he must have a bottle of liquor in his hand. This is a habit developed over many years, and He gets high as soon as he drinks, and talks more after he gets high, as if he has become a different person. He talks about successes and failures in the world, and his words are quite impassioned, from the sky to the bottom of the sea. But at the end of each sentence, he always brags about his trip to Nanyang. When he was young, he had many experiences of narrowly escaping from death in strong winds and waves. He called himself an "old sea wolf" who couldn't be killed and couldn't afford to lose.

I was really impatient to listen to Uncle Ming's bragging anymore, but I didn't want to go back to the cabin to sleep. When I saw the fat man holding a telescope at the bow of the ship, looking at the place where the sky and the sea meet, I thought there was something exciting to watch, so I went over I asked him if he had discovered anything new, but the fat man was too stunned to answer. I also picked up my telescope and looked in the direction he was looking. I wanted to see if there was anything in the sea. Fucking mermaid bath?

I adjusted the focus of the telescope, and the vision in the lens gradually turned from blurry to clear. It turned out that the waves were rolling on the sea far away, and huge whale salamanders were emerging from the sea in groups, far apart from each other, and All of them have only their backs exposed, like black rocks in the sea. I have heard fishermen say that the fish and dragons on the seabed are as big as no less than a hundred meters, and the largest coral trees are more than tens of meters high, but that is all what we have heard. This is our first time. Once I saw the rare whale salamander emerging from the water, I couldn't help but be amazed.

Firstly, the small mountain-like school of fish is far away from us. Secondly, the Trident is not only fast, but also equipped with powerful water cannons that can swallow boat fish, so we don't have to worry about the giant whale capsizing the ship in a short time. , the fish spines that were exposed above the sea disappeared into the sea.

The sea area we are sailing in now has blue water. It is said that there is an unfathomable deep sea rift valley at the bottom, which is almost close to the coral spiral. At one end of the large trench is the "Sixteen-Character Secret Art of Yin and Yang" described in "Nanlong" enters the sea. This trench is where sea air breeds. How deep it is cannot be determined with current science and technology. The extent that can be detected today is only about a few kilometers. Some people speculate that its deepest depth It is no less than 10,000 meters, and it has not been confirmed so far. However, it is still recognized in the world as one of the "undersea abyss". Mysterious phenomena that are difficult to understand often occur. The aquatic monsters that can live under this deep seabed have huge bodies. , if you have not seen it with your own eyes, it is absolutely unimaginable that the truly vicious sea monsters in the sea are lurking several thousand meters below the deep sea. Sometimes they will occasionally come to the surface to prey, but they will immediately dive into the deep sea after a short period of time. , otherwise you will be besieged by evil fish approaching the sea.
