Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 108 Tide (Part 1)

Uncle Ming also said: "Hu Zai's words make sense. When I was running a boat, I saw a Thai man buy a pebble and put it in an empty bowl. A bowl of clear water would be produced overnight. The Thai businessman He thought there was a treasure in the stone and wanted to find out its secret. Unexpectedly, when he broke it open, he found that there was only a pool of clear water and two small transparent fish inside. He soon died, and the stone was worthless. He almost suffered. I was so excited that I jumped into the sea. The water and fish in the stone are natural creations, but there is nothing strange about it. It is just this ancient stone mirror coffin. It is really a unique treasure. Look at how dense the water patterns are on it... "

When Uncle Ming said this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. With such a big sarcophagus, the cabin was already filled with all kinds of supplies. How could there be room to put it? The fat man said this is too simple. I saw a mezzanine next to the bottom cabin. If you remove the piece of wood, there will be space. Let’s not waste time. After installing the green head, we will rush to the sea. Eyes, there are more brilliant achievements waiting for us over there.

Ruan Hei, the boss of the ship, changed his face when he heard this. He was trying to stop Fatty and others from loading the sarcophagus into the hold. I saw his expression was different and knew there must be a reason for it, so I asked him what happened and asked him to clarify his words. What's going on in the bilge?

Ruan Hei almost knelt on the ground and begged everyone, but he did not explain the reason clearly: "There is an extra wooden partition in the bottom cabin, but I don't dare to demolish it. If it is demolished, none of us will survive." He said. Afterwards, he begged Shirley Yang: "Ms. Yang is the most sensible and good person. Please persuade them quickly. They don't dare to do this."

Under our repeated questioning, Ruan Hei still refused to reveal a word. He had no choice but to say: "You all know that seven British people died on this sea willow ship. They died in the bottom cabin. Yes, I really can’t say anything else. In short, you can’t look at the things in the mezzanine. If you look at them, you will die.”

The "Trident" was originally transformed from an ancient sea willow ship. Although it was remodeled by the British, the main components of the hull were still made of sea willows from the old ship. This group of people prepared the ship's ambitious British salvage There were seven members of the team. They died collectively inexplicably. The place where the incident occurred was the bottom cabin of the Trident.

Before I went to sea, I made many inquiries, but most of the fishermen and merchants on Coral Temple Island did not know the details. Then I suddenly heard the boat boss Ruan Hei mention this and told us that there was indeed a small mezzanine in the cabin, but the contents inside , you can't look at it under any circumstances. If someone looks at it, it will be detrimental to the ship. That's how those British people died.

I looked at Uncle Ming and saw that he also had a confused look on his face. Apparently I had never heard of such a story on a ship. I began to suspect that Ruan Hei was being alarmist and went to the bottom of the cabin to find out.

Ruan Hei asked Shirley Yang for help. He knew the previous owner of the sea willow boat. Not long ago, the British renovated the boat. He was also hired to help, so he knew some unknown inside stories. He swore that this There is indeed something hidden in the bilge compartment, but seeing that thing will do all harm to the members of the ship. If the thing in the bilge compartment does not exist, everything will go as usual without any impact on the ship. This is by no means an alarmist statement. This is a lesson learned at the cost of many lives.

I saw the boss of the ship, Ruan Hei, swearing a poisonous oath. I knew that if these superstitious sea wolves swore a serious oath, they would definitely not deceive each other intentionally. Since he said that there are things in the bottom of the cabin that cannot be disturbed, as long as it does not affect our voyage, there is no need. To deliberately break these special customs and taboos.

Seeing that I finally agreed, Ruan Hei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When I go back after collecting the eggs, I will definitely tell you the secret inside. Only people who don't take this boat can know, otherwise they will inadvertently If we talk about this on the ship, trouble will come to our doorstep. At that time, there is no place to escape even if we want to escape on the vast sea.”

I nodded in agreement, but then I thought, the excuse of pretending to be a ghost doesn't work for me. What's the use of knowing the reason after I go back? Sooner or later I'll find a chance to understand it first, and I won't do anything if I'm kept in the dark.

So I kept calm, put the matter aside for the time being, and started working with the rest of the people. Due to the limited space on the ship, the huge stone coffin and the wood filling in the middle of the coffin had to be sunk into the sea again, leaving only the innermost part. The sarcophagus on the first floor was preserved, and everyone put the materials in the bottom hold into the sarcophagus until it was filled. In this way, the space in the cabin was enough to accommodate the sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus was as cool as water. They put many watermelons in the cabin into it. It can play a very good role in preserving freshness.

While we were busy working in the bottom cabin, I took advantage of Ruan Hei to go up to drive the boat. I paid special attention to the sandwich panel. Apart from being completely sealed and making it difficult to move, I really couldn’t see anything special about it. I just put it on my ear. After listening to what was going on inside, Shirley Yang noticed what I was doing. She came over and patted me on the shoulder: "What kind of exercises do you practice?"

I was listening intently to see if there was any movement in the mezzanine, and I was thinking about what is there that I can neither say nor see? Not paying attention at all behind him, he was startled by Shirley Yang and quickly pointed to the mezzanine cabin: "I'm doing some reconnaissance. Come and listen. There seems to be something moving here..."

Shirley Yang did not conduct reconnaissance with me. She seemed to have something to say to me. She motioned to me to change places to talk, and I followed her to the back deck. At this time, Ruan Hei and Uncle Ming reconfirmed the course and were moving the ship. Heading towards the coral spiral at full speed, the "Trident" rides the wind and waves on the sea, and the two "diving bells" hanging behind the ship are also swaying with the hull.

After the black tide at the bottom of the sea, a large area of ​​​​the sea seemed lifeless. The swarms of flying fish that could be seen on the sea from time to time have also disappeared. There is only the boundless turbulence of the sea water all around, which seems vast. Shirley Yang looks out from the deck. At the end of the sea and the sky, it took a long time before he said: "Professor Chen was my father's best friend during his lifetime. His wish is my father's wish. No matter how big the risk I take, I won't care. But the South China Sea is so vast, and the return in the coral spiral The ruins are even more mysterious and unpredictable, and I’m a little worried about whether we can successfully find the King of Qin’s bone mirror, after all, our salvage team is small and has a small boat.”

I said to her: "There is nothing to worry about. Having a small number of people and a small boat is not a problem. Although there are few of us, we all have the ability to do our own thing. This is called the quality of soldiers rather than the number of soldiers. In ancient China, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising , there were only eight or nine hundred people at the beginning. They sent out a great cry to the whole world that the emperor and general Xiang Ning had the right kind. They climbed up and rose up with a cry, and once swept the world. But why did this team fail later? Because of them There are more and more people, and they have become a mob, losing the purity of the revolution and the fighting power of unity. We should learn from the experience and lessons of the failed peasant uprising. Even Mr. An Liman, our guide when we went to the desert, knew that Hu The great metaphor is - only when people unite can we win. In addition, we must be extremely cautious when recruiting team members. We would rather take a bite of fairy peach than eat a basket of rotten apricots. If we have fewer people and work together, we will not be afraid of not being able to accomplish anything."
