Zhan Zhao and the others recently discovered a pattern: wherever there are good mountains and good waters, there are probably some masters hiding there.

Sure enough, even in such a good place as Xiankong Island, there are some experts who seek refuge here.

The reason why that strange ship disappeared out of thin air was because it was pushed back into the sea by a master, and this master was the master of the Four Rats, Hai Ye.

No one knows what Haiye's real name is. His acquaintances of the same generation call him Lao Hai, and his descendants collectively call him Haiye. This man has great martial arts skills and deep internal strength, but he has been a fisherman at sea all his life and has never set foot in the world, so he is not famous in the world.

.

The old man told everyone that the ship was very unlucky. It was not an abandoned pirate ship, but a sacrificial ship.

In Hai Ye’s words, sacrificing something like this is normally just a blessing activity, and it’s meant to bring good luck. But if you go crazy, it may lead to weird and murderous things.

"There are many dangers at sea. If they are broken down, they can be divided into three categories. One is natural disasters, such as storms, tsunamis, etc. One is monsters, such as sea monsters and giant sea beasts. The other is humans, such as pirates and pirates.

. There are different methods to deal with different disasters. For natural disasters, most of them hold some rituals, just like the Dragon King Festival on Xiankong Island. For monsters, they are more evil, and it is easy to kill people, such as sacrificing people.

Give it to sea monsters or something. As for man-made disasters, use more money. The ship you found contained a lot of gold, silver and jewelry... Who would be attracted by money? Mostly people. The animals and wind and waves in the sea don't care how much money you have.

"

After listening to Haiye's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense.

"But to deal with pirates, shouldn't we ask the government to take action, or organize an organization to fight against them?" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "And so much money was used for sacrifice, why is it still on the ship?"

"Didn't you also find the six bronze boxes that were locked tightly?" Haiye asked.

Everyone nodded.

"If you are trying to lure people to open the box, why do you use such a strong lock?"

"Um……"

Everyone was lost in thought.

The Demon King smiled and asked, "The money was sacrificed to the things in the box, right?"

Everyone was stunned and raised their heads.

Haiye nodded, "The old man is still knowledgeable."

"So the six boxes are divided into six money-grubbing people?" Zhan Zhao was quite honest.

Hai Ye looked at him for a while, then smiled at Bai Yutang and said, "You are quite happy every day, right?"

Fifth Master nodded silently - that is, quite interesting.

Yin Hou whispered to his grandson, "Maybe there is only one greedy person who was divided into six parts."

Zhan Zhao took a breath, lowered his head and thought to himself, alone, divided into six parts... his ideas gradually diverged.

"Ahem."

Haiye coughed and said, "It's better to do less than to do more. Don't pay attention to such taboo things. According to the sea current last night, it should float far away. After a few waves, it might sink back."

Let’s just leave the seabed alone.”

Fifth Master nodded, thinking this is good.

After roughly explaining everything, they drank tea and chatted for a while, and then everyone went back.

There are a lot of activities on the island today, and it is said that it will be more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Tianzun took Yin Hou and the others to watch the pig race. Zhan Zhao was surprised to hear it, and asked Bai Yutang, "How are the pigs going to race? Can they run faster than whose pigs?"

The fifth master also made him amused, saying of course not, he was heavier than someone else’s pig!

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Tianzun seems to be very interested."

Bai Yutang whispered, "My master is a little interested in fat things."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Is it because my grandpa was fat when he was a child?"

The fifth master also felt that this was a possibility, and said, "I wonder if Yin Hou had the same reaction as the fourth son when he was called fat when he was a child."

Zhan Zhao stood there imagining it for a moment and quickly shook his head - No! Grandpa has a handsome and domineering style!

The two of them returned to Brother Lu's house and met the group of children from Taixue returning from the sea with the beautiful scenery.

The children picked up several baskets of shells and planned to make a big wind chime and hang it on the eaves of Miaomiao Building.

The unlucky guy Pang Yu even got his foot pricked by a conch, and he was helped back by everyone while he was jumping up and down.

When the fourth son saw Zhan Zhao, he ran over to hold his hand and gave him a conch shell, saying that he had picked it up just now.

Zhan Zhao took it in his hand and took a look, and saw that it was a small snow-white conch, chubby, like a white mouse, with a spiral behind it that looked like a thin tail.

Zhan Zhaomei put it away.

Bai Yutang also saw it, so he reached out and asked the fourth son for the black cat conch.

The fourth child stretched out his hand to Bai Yutang and said, "The black cat doesn't have it, but it does have this one."

The fifth master stretched out his hand to take it, and saw the fourth son put a big caterpillar in his hand.

The fifth master shook his hand and the "insect" flew away.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to catch it and found that it was cold and ice-cold. At first glance, it turned out to be a long blue conch. At a glance, it looked like a caterpillar.

The fourth child had obviously negotiated with Liang Chenmei and the other three to scare Bai Yutang. As soon as they saw that they succeeded, the four children ran away cheering.

Zhan Zhao held the conch and looked at Bai Yutang who was throwing away his hand.

Mr. Wu was helpless - the dumplings were getting skinnier and skinnier.

Zhan Zhao took the "green worm" conch and looked at it. The conch was quite heavy, emerald green, with yellow markings and spiral patterns on its body. The most interesting thing was that there was a black spot on the top, which looked like an eye.

Fifth Master was a little disgusted and asked Zhan Zhao to throw it away.

Zhan Zhao quickly put it away, saying it was so cute and it was a pity to lose it.

Gongsun walked out with a medicine box, his mouth was bulging, he was eating, and he was holding a steamed dumpling in his hand.

The fourth son ran by. Gongsun grabbed his son first and stuffed a steamed dumpling into his mouth. He pointed at Xiao Liangzi and the others in the yard, "The sisters-in-law are all making dumplings. They are so delicious."

The four children rushed in, and Gongsun shouted from behind, "Wash your hands before eating!"

The gentleman also pointed to Zhao Pu behind him, and the Ninth Prince reached out and picked up a few children and took them to wash their hands.

Gongsun took the box and walked out to bandage the wound on Pang Yu's foot.

Pang Yu placed a conch like a hedgehog on the table, "This is simply a hidden weapon! Hiding in the sand like this is really too much."

Bao Yan took the conch and complained to him, "No one else has pricked it, so you have to prick it. I will put a rope on it and hang it around your neck in a while!"

At this time, the laughter of children came from the yard, and Lin Yehuo ran out with a steamed dumpling while eating. His red clothes were stained with a lot of flour, and behind him was a mute who was all white.

Huofeng said to Zhan Zhao, "Hurry up and eat, the sisters-in-law are so good at cooking! That seafood steamed dumpling, wow!"

As soon as Zhan Zhao heard "Seafood Steamed Dumplings", he disappeared in a flash.

Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang took the mute to take a bath together, and asked Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to wait for them and watch the prayer meeting together later.

Bai Yutang walked into the yard. Several of his sisters-in-law and a group of aunts and uncles on the island were making steamed seafood dumplings. Next to him, his third brother and a group of old men were chopping stuffing. Han Zhang was in charge of chopping wood and lighting the fire. Jiang Ping directed the people.

Steam them in a pot one at a time.

Zhan Zhao ran over and put a steamed dumpling into Bai Yutang's mouth. He pointed at the dozen pots and hundreds of baskets lined up over there, "It's amazing! This is the first time I've seen such a scene!"

The fifth master asked him to grab some food and run away. There were thousands of pastries to be steamed in a while. There was going to be a family dinner for the whole island today. His sisters-in-law were very irritable, and anyone who stood in the way would be beaten.

Zhan Zhao quickly grabbed the steamed dumplings in his mouth, and together with Zhao Pu, he grabbed the beautiful scenery and ran out.

When they got outside, Gongsun had bandaged Pang Yu. The young marquis didn't feel any pain when he put on his shoes. Just walk slowly.

At this time, Zhao Zhen also came with Nangong, saying that Concubine Pang and Xiangxiang were going to sleep for a while, so he took the opportunity to sneak out, planning to go out to play and take a look at the ghost ship!

After being told by the children that the ghost ship had floated away, Zhao Zhen was so angry that he stamped his feet together and went to the island together, but nothing happened!

"Hey!" At this time, Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang in front had already finished washing the dogs and were waving to everyone, saying that it was so lively in front.

Everyone ran over and saw in front of them, on a large slope, many people were arranging a huge five-rat pattern.

The five rats pattern is the family emblem of Xingkong Island. When used separately, there are five. When put together, they form a whole, which is five rats with different shapes.

About a hundred people gathered on a large slope near the beach, holding many "bamboo tubes".

Wang Sihai was directing, and there were several others holding hemp ropes who were stuffing hemp ropes into bamboo tubes one by one, and then trapped them together.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang what he was doing.

Fifth Master said it was the fireworks array on Xiankong Island, and fireworks would be set off at night.

"I've never seen this kind of fireworks before!" Gongsun was curious, "Are there so many set off together?"

"I know this." Lin Yehuo said, "The biggest specialty of Xiankong Island is fire saltpeter. Pyrotechnic dealers in Jiangnan area all go to Xiankong Island to buy fire saltpeter. This small dose can be used to make fireworks, but a large dose can make thunder!

"

Zhao Pu and Zou Liang both nodded, "The sky-shattering thunder on Xingkong Island is amazing. My second brother is a genius in this area."

Zhao Zhen asked, "What's it like? What's it like when it's blown up to the sky?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Well, this bamboo tube is a double-ringed tube that is a special product of Xiankong Island. The first ring is made to fly up to the sky together, and the second ring is set off together in the air. So whatever shape is placed on the ground, it will be shaped in the sky. It's very fun.
