Chapter 276 Mysterious Pendant(1/2)
It is extremely difficult for a well-informed person like my master to be able to give an evaluation of "interesting".
I don't have the knowledge of my master, and naturally I can't reach the point where I can wait for the mountain to collapse before me without changing my expression. When this song falls into my ears, its power is no less than the roar of a mountain or a tsunami.
According to the meaning of this song, there is actually a lost country under the deep sea in District 17?
But as far as we know, it is the legendary Penglai Fairy Mountain!
There are no legends or ancient records showing that there is an ancient country on the Penglai Fairy Mountain.
This is an information asymmetry. The discrepancy is so great that it completely subverts our understanding.
Furthermore, the song is sung from the mouth of the shark, and it can affect parasites such as Yin Chi and remember it deeply. This is enough to show that this song should be sung by the sharks often, and this song is almost engraved in their minds.
Regarded as sacred, this shows that the sharks in the seventeenth district seem to be... related to this so-called ancient country. This resentful tone seems to be the remnants of this ancient country.
Could it be that this so-called ancient country is actually a country of sharks?
As soon as this absurd idea came up, I immediately killed it. Although the sea has always been a mysterious restricted area for humans, there are rumors that many mysterious ancient countries have appeared here, such as Atlantis, etc., but Shark
I still instinctively reject such things as a country of men.
Also, this song is full of hope, as if this dusty ancient country will one day appear again. What kind of secrets is hidden in it?
Is it related to the fact that Guo Xun stole Yang Yuhuan's body and traveled to Penglai?
There are too many questions.
Looking at the whole song, if there is one thing that shocks us the most, it is the line "I give you everything"!
I almost immediately thought that this was related to the strange appearance in District 17.
Hai Gang summarized all the cases of accidents in District 17, and speculated that the great weirdness in District 17 may be related to some unconscious behavior of the crew on the ship, and this kind of behavior is something that most crew members often do.
, it is this kind of behavior that stimulates the unknown and causes great weirdness.
So, did the crew contribute something?
My guess is 80% yes!!
At least, judging from the meaning of the song, it should be that if you perform some kind of sacrifice, you will be accepted by this so-called dusty ancient country, and the sharks will appear and bestow eternal glory.
What is eternity?
Life is a snap of the fingers, death is eternity.
The so-called gift of the shark should be a violent massacre!!
But then again, what did the crew give?!
We didn’t know much about this, so I asked Old One-eye whether the sea gang’s crew would perform some kind of sacrifice at sea? Or, out of some kind of inheritance or emphasis, they would throw something into the sea.
?
The old one-eyed man looked a little sluggish and dull, probably at a loss. He looked at each other with the one-legged man. They both thought hard for a long time and shook their heads together.
"No way, this won't happen."
Old One-Eye said: "Most of our ordinary sea gang members are good at boxing and kicking, and more advanced skills are under the control of the headquarters. For example, we don't understand how to sacrifice. How can we sacrifice inexplicably? So what you said
This situation is simply impossible to happen. I once met a big shot at the headquarters and went out with him to do things. He also told me that sacrifices have a very specific purpose and are generally not done casually.
conduct.
As for what you said, we will throw some things into the sea out of some kind of tradition. This is even more impossible. As the saying goes, we rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and we rely on the sea to eat the sea. We people have been eating this sea for generations.
Others know better about protecting and respecting the sea. Throwing things away casually is pollution. What is the difference between this and fishing with a gauze net? Once the net is caught, no big or small fish will escape. Today, I will make them extinct.
, tomorrow they will make us annihilate our descendants, we are very taboo about this!"
After hearing this, I was a little confused. None of these things existed, so what exactly stimulated those sharks?
All kinds of clues pointed to this aspect, but we couldn't grasp the key, which made me feel a little emotional.
My master also noticed this, sighed, said he would think about it slowly, waved everyone to do their own thing, and then led us out of the fish cabin.
The old man tidied up the bottles and jars, smiling like a flower.
As a result, as soon as he arrived on the deck, my master stopped him and asked him to deal with Yin Chi.
Lao Bai thought he had heard something wrong and subconsciously asked again. After confirming that my master wanted him to deal with Yin Chi, his face turned pale and he almost sat down and rolled around.
My master asked him, apart from harming people, does Yin Chi have any other use?
Lao Bai thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of any use.
My master said that Qingwei Dao is a quiet place that can accommodate the common people's talk and the righteous way of the world, but it cannot tolerate evil spirits and heretics. If Lao Bai wants to raise poison to harm people, why not today?
To clean up the house, Lao Bai must leave the Zhenwu Temple.
Under my master's sharp gaze, Lao Bai could only light a pot of charcoal fire and throw the Yin Chi into the fire. This thing was so evil. Once it was thrown into the fire, it screamed and screamed, and the sound was so shrill that it sounded like it was being slaughtered.
The person burst into pieces after a moment, and a green flame nearly one meter high suddenly rose up in the brazier. It lasted for a long time, but blood continued to seep out from the bottom of the basin. It took a long time before it gradually calmed down.
Lao Bai stared straight at the brazier with a sad expression that made people mistakenly think that the brazier was his son. As a result, my master came out of the cabin and took a look at him. He jumped up and vomited into the brazier.
A mouthful of phlegm left behind an arrogant and reserved glance, and a word about evil heretics. Everyone found it, punished it, and walked away.
Several of us were also shocked by the death scene of this thing and couldn't recover for a long time. What kind of mysterious creature is this? It is clearly more evil than the evil corpse and evil ghost. Apart from being shocked, we also have to sigh with emotion, what kind of mysterious creature is this?
We still know too little.
The ship continued to drift on the endless sea.
Both I and my master were thinking about that song, but unfortunately they didn't get much, and they still had no clue. Shunzi had recovered, and after Yin Chi was taken out, his mind suddenly became much brighter.
Same, at least his behavior is no longer so idiotic, but he still knows nothing about what happened that night and what he went through with his father.
We followed the Fujian-Vietnam area and drove along the sea towards Jiaodong, then turned around and followed the route Guo Xun took to land across the sea. A few days passed by and we finally drove into that mysterious and unknown land.
area.
It was early in the morning, and after hearing Old One-Eye's shouts, we all rushed out of the crew cabin.
On the line between the sea and the sky, a red sun hangs high in the sky. The sky is blue and the sea is blue. The scenery is beautiful and there is nothing weird about it.
We are not surprised by this result, but we can't help but be a little disappointed.
The so-called seventeenth district is just a coordinate and a small circle on Old Man Shi's globe. In fact, it is a huge sea area, hundreds of miles in length.
My master ordered Old One-Eye to patrol the waters in a boat and do whatever they had to do. This obviously involved a bit of luck.
Old One Eye was a little embarrassed, but he still cooperated and agreed. He just reminded my master that our fresh water reserves may only last for ten days at most. After all, this is just a very low-end small fishing boat, and there is no fresh water machine in it.
, if the fresh water runs out, we will have to dock early for replenishment.
My master gritted his teeth and agreed, letting him look at the arrangements.
Brother Yaozi said angrily that this gang is really a bit of a scam.
In fact, we know very well that the Hai Gang must have large ships, or other better ships, but they only gave us a small fishing boat and a group of crew members who were already useless in their eyes. This must be that old man Shi.
considered.
We didn't tell him about my physical condition, and we didn't dare to say it, because it involved an Earth Spirit Pearl. Old Man Shi was very thoughtful, and no one knew what he would do if he knew the truth. Under such circumstances,
He actually hopes in his heart that we can't find District 17. In this way, we can only return in vain. Only a living official will have the opportunity to repay their help today. But at the same time, he also hopes that we can
To solve the problem of District 17, the Hai Gang started out because of the discovery of a relic on the sea. They were very interested in it. A half-step master took people to the sea. This was so rare that it gave him a glimmer of hope. If we
Breaking through District 17 might also be good for them.
Therefore, he simply made such a strange arrangement to gamble with the minimum cost. At the same time, he would not let us linger at sea for too long. It would be best if we found something, and if we didn't, it would be best to come back quickly. This is the way that best suits his interests.
.
But now we have a problem, time is too tight...
We spent the next few days wandering around this sea area, but still found nothing.
I would observe every crew member on the deck every day, trying to find something, but the results were unsatisfactory. The fresh water was getting less and less. According to Old One-Eye's estimate, we would have to return in two days at most.
I was almost desperate, but at this moment, a person's weird behavior caught my attention...
This person is the one who has kidney disease and wears a urine bag for a long time. Everyone calls him Da Wei'er. There is naturally a small Wei'er with Da Wei'er. Xiao Wei'er is also on this ship and is the youngest one.
He was in his thirties, had been injured, and was lame.
The first person to notice the two brothers was Lao Bai. Lao Bai was a master of gossip. He found that the two brothers were actually not very courageous. They came here completely forcefully. After entering District 17, they probably felt
Frightened, the two of them were confused all day long. Every three or four days, the two of them would get into the cabin when no one would see them, and when they came out they would be radiant...
Lao Bai used the most vicious and despicable thoughts to maliciously speculate on the brothers, and told me the matter as a joke...
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
I have been observing for so long, and I have seen the behavior of all the crew members. Only the two brothers were not under my nose when they were nesting in the fish hold. It really made me curious. Seeing that the return trip was imminent, I didn't care whether it would happen or not.
I will see something eye-catching and decide to go and take a peek.
On this day, in the morning, the older brother gave the younger child a look that you know, and the two of them got into the fish cabin again.
Little did I know, I had already set my sights on them, and immediately followed them secretly. When I tiptoed close to the fish hatch, I heard the voices of the two brothers talking from inside.
"Your Highness, Lady Hai, please bless us to go back safely. I hope these lunatics will give up and never come here again..."
To be continued...
