When this ship is sailing, it looks silent from a distance. In fact, when people are actually inside, they will find that it is not as quiet as they imagined. The hull is shaking violently and the cabin is constantly making "creak" sounds.

, as if after long years of polishing, the hull is no longer strong and will collapse and be dismembered at any time.

A landlubber like me was at a disadvantage here. During the process of rushing out of the cabin, with the rocking of the building, I swayed back and forth like a drunkard. The last one couldn't stand still and sat down.

On the ground.

On the contrary, Lao Bai, who is usually the most miserable, immediately adapted to the situation after the initial shake. His gait was steady, as if he were walking on flat ground. He came over to help me up, patted my thigh with his hand, and said with a smile: "Two."

Kick your legs so straight, I thought you were dying. Relax a little. There is a saying, let him be strong, and the breeze will blow over the hills. Isn't this a Taoist saying? You are Mr. Zhang.

His direct disciple, he is a serious Taoist priest, how come he is not as rough as me, a big boss, when things happen?"

"Bah!"

I spit out the blood and pickled food in my mouth and glared at him.

What does it mean to be dying? It sounds so ugly.

But I also know that Lao Bai is teaching me how to survive on a ship. This kind of high-rise ship is not a modern cruise ship. Coupled with the abnormal environment, it is too hard to be in there. It is impossible to survive without a little effort.

, if it hadn't been for this, I would have forgotten that this grandson, Lao Bai, has learned all kinds of stunts. He used to work as a boy on the Qinhuai River, carrying the yellow-flowered girl on his shoulders to the guests' boats, bow and stern.

He can jump around and has good water skills.

Immediately, I tried to relax myself, and sure enough, if my legs were not tight, my body was soft, and I allowed my body to sway with the hull, I would no longer fall.

After a while of excitement, we gradually got used to the inconvenience caused by the sudden departure of the ship and came to the deck.

When the boat came, it was like a turtle crawling, slowly. Now it left much faster. In just a moment, it was already a long way from the shore. Because of the speed of the boat, the mercury below was no longer there.

It was calm. The mercury splashed as the ship passed by, especially where the bow of the ship hit the corner. The mercury flew three or four meters high, but for some reason, it didn't hit the ship. All the mercury was hit by the animal's head above the corner.

The statue was swallowed into the mouth, and finally rolled out of the eyes, as if the green-faced and fanged animal head sculpture was crying, and the people who looked at it were amazed.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but when you turn around you will find the shore."

Lao Bai sighed softly, looked longingly in the direction of the tomb passage, and said helplessly: "But even if we turn back now, I'm afraid we won't have a chance, right?"

Zhang Xinya was probably shaken by the boat and felt really uncomfortable. She bent down and started vomiting. For a long time, she didn't see anything coming out of her stomach. It was all saliva and acidic water in her stomach. Her eyes were full of tears. I felt uncomfortable just looking at it.

Maybe she was holding a fire in her stomach. She had just finished retching, and immediately stood up and kicked Lao Bai's calf hard. She said angrily: "What's going on? Are you sorry? Are you sorry? Don't do it."

Come on!"

This girl never gave Lao Bai face, and she looked at him squinting, her eyes clearly saying - you came here, aren't you just afraid that when my old uncle wakes up, he will know that you are standing by and watch, and he will drive you out of the Zhenwu Temple?

, at that time, that black Miao chieftain is chasing you, let’s see who can save you!

Normally, I'm afraid these two people would have to quarrel.

But this time, Lao Bai rarely responded. He shook his head and turned back to the cabin.

I pushed Zhang Xinya gently, indicating that she had said it all. Lao Bai had a lot of bad things about him, but his friends were really in a situation of life and death, and he would never say anything.

This was just a small quarrel. Farce like this was performed all the time in the Zhenwu Temple, but it had never been so... silent like this time!

I know that the deeper reason is that this underground ruins is too weird.

Mercury sea, unmanned ship...

These are things that completely subvert people's cognition. We are on the ship, and we still don't know how the ship sailed without anyone controlling it, and we can't stop anything. This unknown fear and powerlessness make everyone

People are anxious, very irritable and excited.

After staying on the deck for a while, we found nothing, so we had no choice but to return to the cabin again.

The ship was still sailing as if it was wound up by clockwork. The bumps never stopped, but intensified. Even Brother Yaozi turned pale after being thrown away.

I was worried that they wouldn't be able to keep up, so I took out some water and food and wanted them to eat a little, but Zhang Xinya vomited again after just a few mouthfuls. Although Brother Yaozi was not so violent, he pursed his lips tightly.

It looks like he is probably holding back.

Neither of them ate anything, and soon fell into a deep sleep. Worried about being thrown out by the bumps, they simply squeezed into a corner of the cabin, curled up, looking pitiful, just like being thrown out.

Like a vagabond abandoned by the world.

I was quite energetic. That is to say, when the boat just started, I was caught off guard and fell quite hard. But after I got used to it, I felt much better. At least I wasn't as pale as Zhang Xinya and the others were after being tortured.

I couldn't sleep, so I simply got up, and then I found Lao Bai sitting alone in the corner, silently in a daze.

I walked over and asked him what was wrong.

"I don't know why, I just feel very uneasy."

Lao Bai smiled, and for the rare moment he felt a little more formal, he nuzzled at Zhang Xinya and Brother Yaozi: "This is a journey of death. We have just embarked on the journey. They just gave us a show of strength.

There are two people who can't stand it anymore, and they don't know what they will encounter in the future."

I shrugged. There was nothing I could do about it. Who knew that this boat looked so stable, but it was so bumpy when it came up? It was more exaggerated than riding a donkey that kept kicking. Zhang Xinya and the others were probably a little seasick.

They all hit each other, nothing happened.

However, Lao Bai's skills on the boat aroused some interest in me, and I couldn't help but said: "I can't sleep here anyway, so let's just be sentries. If we are idle, we are idle. Tell me."

Let’s talk about the flower boats on the Qinhuai River. Are there still such people today? The Qinhuai River has become a tourist destination.”

Lao Bai shook his head and said it would be better for me not to have any interest in those people. They were not good people.

However, he still opened up the conversation.

Regarding his past experiences, I only occasionally heard Brother Yaozi mention them, but Lao Bai never went into detail. This was the first time he told me all kinds of things, and it was really interesting.

According to him, the Qinhuai River has grown longer, and there are only a few places where people go to play. There are always some deserted places, and today's flower boats basically appear in these places.

However, those who are still in this business are naturally not sacrificing their skin and flesh for a little money. In fact, they are practicing evil arts, which is no different from Taoism.

"Remember, if you board the flower boat, you are giving up half your life. But dying under the peonies is bullshit. If you die in their hands, it will be ugly."

Lao Bai lowered his head and sighed softly: "To be honest, what I don't want to remember the most in my life is what happened to me. Every time I put a girl on my shoulders and send her away, I am actually committing a crime, you know?

Those yellow-flowered girls on the flower boats all came from a poor background. They were adopted by the flower boat when they were young and have been used as slaves. They were given away when they got old. In fact, they were not willing at all at that time. After meeting them for the first time,

, my psychology was traumatized, and I became distorted in the future. I came out to do harm to others. In fact, it was all shame and tragedy. I don’t have the ability of your courtesy officer. If I have that ability, I will wake up the Qinhuai River.

The water dragon swallowed all the flower boats in one go and buried them alive!"

By the end, he was gritting his teeth.

When I heard it, hey, there seems to be a story here!

So I licked my face and kept asking. At first, Lao Bai was hesitant to talk about him. In the end, I asked him to the point where he had no choice. He drooped his head like a deflated balloon and told me that he worked on the flower boat back then.

Son, in fact, he was just a boy. He met one of the girls and had a very good relationship with her. Later, he personally carried her on his back to another passenger ship.

Before the other party got on the boat, he held his face and said seriously, asking him to see himself clearly, and finally see him clearly, because after tonight, he will belong to others, no, to many people, maybe

It's a thousand people, maybe ten thousand people...

After listening, I was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "How is the other person doing now?"

Lao Bai said that he met once ten years ago, and the other person had become the owner of a boat and a female devil.

I asked Lao Bai again if he liked that girl very much?

Lao Bai immediately shook his head, but then he glanced at me again, as if to see who I was and whether I was his friend. Then he fell silent again, and finally nodded vigorously.

I sighed and didn't ask again. I thought about the situation carefully. If it were me, would I leave with that woman in tears?

Finally, I shook my head and thought, I can't accept this fate. I just accepted it that time, so I ended up like this for the rest of my life.

"Hey, something's wrong, you're just saying it in a patronizing way!"

Suddenly, Lao Bai seemed to notice something, and stood up suddenly, his eyes widened: "This ship... stopped shaking!!"

It was only after he said this that I realized that not only did it stop shaking, it also stopped moving at all!!

Have you reached the right place?

This idea just came up and was quickly extinguished by me. This is absolutely impossible. How long has it been since we boarded the ship? It will only be a few hours at most. Although the ship returns much faster, it will not take more than a few hours.

There is no way to sail out of this vast sea of ​​mercury!

I immediately closed my eyes, pinched my Sanqing fingers, held on to my true self, and carefully felt everything around me. After a while, my expression completely changed: "Quickly, wake up Zhang Xinya and the others, something is wrong, something is coming!!"
Chapter completed!
