Chapter 55 The Dutchman Flying in the Sky

Uncle Ming was afraid that he would fall into the sea, so he hugged an arrow stone tightly and shouted, "Hu Zi, it's your uncle who did too many good deeds and accumulated great virtues, which made the auspicious people have their own celestial phenomena. You are abusing me this time, so you have saved your life back. This is the blessing of the fisherman's master and Mazu, and the dragon soldiers have passed by the sea."

I used to be in Fujian and I heard about the "Dragon Soldiers" in the South China Sea. They are rare spectacles on the sea, such as sea and sea turtles gathered into groups, and the turtles were floating out of the water. Looking at the sea, it was spectacular. Fishermen believe that the signs of passing dragon soldiers are different. The group of whales and turtles are auspicious signs. However, when a large number of sea fish floated across the sea, it was a sign of disaster that was not harvested by seafood and shipwrecks were coming.

In fact, the phenomenon of "passing dragon soldiers" is a huge change in the seabed, which caused the migration of aquatic races in the sea. It may be that the sea air dragon fire disappeared in the coral spiral, and the turtle group in "Guixu" floated away, and just lifted the divine tree we rely on to float up. In the past, Fatty and I had seen underground tortoise shells everywhere in the Baiyan Cave between the grassland and the desert. The sea air in the "turtle burial" changed like a ghost market, resulting in a gray ancient monument. Now, I think about it, in the magic cloth of the Baiyan Cave Ghost Market, Lu Li changed one by one, which was the ancient tomb in "Guixu". As early as thousands of years ago, there must have happened several "passing dragon soldiers" turtle migration wonders. However, the sea turtles that escaped from Guixu back then were buried in the "turtle sleeping place" of Baiyan Huangquan.

Uncle Ming asked everyone to seize the opportunity and cut the dead body of the shark again. Seeing that things had turned around, I thought of the lives of Ruan Hei and Duoling's disciples, all stayed at the end of the "Nanlong" remnant. I felt a little disappointed. I suddenly felt weak all over and felt that my feet were unable to stand firmly, so I sat on the wood. As soon as my hand touched the wood, the wooden arrow stones fell into the water one after another. I looked down and saw that the cracks on the wood were deepening and expanding, and I couldn't help but shivering immediately: "Oh, this ancient wood was hit by the sea water under the ghost island. It was the most fragile. It seemed that my limbs would soon be broken and the disaster was coming." Before I could remind the rest of the people, the wood floating in the sea had already begun to disintegrate.

The squid wood floating on the coral spiral sea surface has been immortal in the eyes of the sea for thousands of years, and it is maintained by the vitality in the sea. Now it has left Guixu and has suffered several severe injuries one after another. The bark covered with scales and the arrow stones embedded in it have begun to fall off and peel off. The squid's body was impulsively moved by the sea and slowly left the squid wood. The broken half of the squid wood drifted along the waves and floated on the sea.

We saw that this thick natural "single boat" would be broken by the ocean currents in the sea for a long time. However, under the starry night sky, the endless sea water was everywhere, and everyone was helpless. Now, they had to let things go.

I looked at the undulating turtles beside me thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, I saw that the turtle's back seemed to be carrying someone on its back. The man was wearing a diving suit with a yellow logo, which was quite eye-catching on the sea surface. His long hair spread out. It was Duoling who fell into Guixu. She lay on the turtle's back and motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive. The giant turtle floated with the ocean current and suddenly sank into the sea again. Duoling's body was immediately washed aside by the sea water.

She might have fallen to death after falling from the sacred wood. With the familiar water nature of the Danmin, she grabbed the giant tortoise that escaped from Guixu in the turtle, and was able to return to the sea. Seeing Duoling fall from the turtle back into the sea and drifting by the beside the turtle, I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly called Gu Cai and jumped to the end of the wood, grabbed a piece of arrow stone and jumped into the water, pulling Duoling's hair. At this time, Gu Cai and others had already arrived, and everyone held Duoling on the wood with all their might.

I grabbed the arrow stone and climbed up the sling wood. I saw Shirley Yang being rescued with all his strength. Duoling's face was as white as paper and was unconscious. However, after rescue, she finally spit out a few mouthfuls of sea water and felt a little vitality.

A stone fell to the ground in my heart. I looked at Gu Chai. He kowtowed to the east, as if thanking Ruan Hei for having a spirit in the sky. Bao Duoling escaped from death, and also as if worshiping Danmin's ancestor. The fat man pulled him up: "Don't hit the wood with his head, what's wrong with you, boy, thinking it's not so heavy? Thank God, it's all nonsense. Death does not belong to the proletariat. I fought in the mountains back then..."

It is most taboo to mention words like "turn, fall, sink" on the sea. Before the fat man finished speaking, Uncle Ming held his mouth down: "Fatty, everyone will be killed by you. Don't bully the mountains and waters. You dare to say such taboo words!"

The fat man was furious, just about to denounce Uncle Ming, an old reactionary academic authority, absurd view, but at this time, everyone felt that his feet suddenly loosened, and they were all tilted and unable to stand firmly. The wooden body under his feet continued to crack and scatter. I screamed badly. I just thought that this piece of rotten wooden stake could at least float on the sea for a while, but now it seems that it will be split soon.

At this time, the group of turtles had already sneaked into the seabed and disappeared. There was nothing on the sea surface. A wave hit, and the part of the "beak wood" floating on the sea was immediately smashed to pieces. Everyone fell into the water and had to grab the scattered wood. However, there were many sharks in the South China Sea. Even if you were lucky enough to encounter evil sharks, how long can it last if you were soaked in the cold sea water?

I was carrying a heavy bronze mirror on my back and grabbed a few wooden boards, but they were all decayed and loose, so I couldn't bear it. I had to pull the life-saving pin on my shoulders. A small life-saving airbag was filled with gas and floated on the sea, rising and falling. It was just a time of complaint that I suddenly heard Shirley Yang greet me, "Old Hu, look, there is a boat!"

I thought I heard it wrong. How could there be a boat in the "coral spiral" sea? But at this time, the fat man and others were also shouting on the sea. It seemed that everyone had really discovered the ship. When I looked closely, it was not an outside ship. It turned out that although there was no passage at the top of the "梦梦", the inside was hollowed out. There were strange burial objects inside. After the husk was broken, it scattered and floated in the sea water. There was a complete ancient ship hidden in it. The bottom of the ship was short and the hull was oval. It seemed to be a burial object prepared for the undead under the sea. If we were to say that this ship was a "bright weapon".

As the sea waves surging, we couldn't see clearly what was going on with this ship, but at this time we finally had a life-saving straw. Not to mention that the ship is a "clear weapon", even a ghost ship can only climb up first, fearing that if there is a slight hesitation, once the surge on the sea surface increases, everyone will be swept away by the waves in an instant.

I quickly cheered up and swam to the side of the boat. When I got close, I realized that the bottom of the boat was made of the bone armor of a giant turtle. It was about the size of an ordinary lifeboat. It was no problem to accommodate five or six people. There was only one shallow cabin that could not enter the person, and it was filled with some burial objects such as coral. Because it was for the dead, there was nothing practical. The boat used whale skin as sails and marmoset tendons as cables. Compared with ordinary wooden boats, this almost fossil tortoise shell and whale bone boat can last forever and can still be used today, but this ancient ship is like a model with its appearance. If it encounters strong winds and waves, it will definitely be buried at the bottom of the sea.

But we didn't care about so much, and helped us step on the "Hidden Boat" one after another, lying on the tortoise shell and gasping. No one had the strength to move anymore. Now is not the wind season on the sea. As soon as the sea air condensed by the South Dragon in the sea's eyes disappeared, most of them would not be as worried as when they came. As long as Mazu blesses, there is no hurricane storm, we live on this lonely boat, at least we don't have to worry about falling into the sea to feed the sharks for the time being.

Duoling on the boat was still unconscious, and the rest of the people were exhausted and closed their eyes and fell asleep exhausted. Even if the sky fell, I didn't want to open my eyes. My eyelids fought and were confused for an hour or two. I was still thinking about the details of the "Mountain and Sea Filling Technique" in my mind, thinking hard about how to use the magic of the Taoist who moved the mountain to drive the bone armor ship back to Coral Temple Island without water or food.

The stomach was so hungry in the middle of the night. When I woke up, I saw Shirley Yang woke up at some point. I leaned against the whale bone mast and stared at the starry sky. I also looked at the dense stars in the sky and came out for a while. The experience of going out to sea flashed through my mind. I felt a sense of my heart and couldn't help saying to Shirley Yang: "I knew that the coral spiral sea was dangerous and unpredictable, but I was still in a hot mind. Now that I have fallen into this situation, I have a boat full of priceless green heads, but I can't exchange for a pot of clear water and half a piece of dry food. Looking back, we were probably crazy at that time..."

shirley Yang said: "You are just a lunatic. At most, I am a fool. You tricked you into going crazy with you."

I quickly explained: "I'm crazy and that's what Professor Chen is talking about. I really admire the seniors who have been working on touching gold and moving mountains all their lives in ancient times. This kind of life that I don't know tomorrow and that I have no homes all over the world are really not something that anyone can bear. How many brain cells will die every day in this kind of life? It's time to live a peaceful life."

Shirley Yang sighed softly: "It would be great if you really had that kind of awareness, but the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. In your eyes, the scenery is always far away and there is no scenery nearby. You can't be honest at home for a few days. However, this time we drifted on the sea, and the wind and waves of the sea are ruthless, but it is really not as good as the past. I hope God bless you, don't let us be Dutch flying in the sky."

"Flying Dutchman" is synonymous with "ghost ship". This legend refers to the meaning of being cursed and drifting on the sea forever. I had heard Shirley Yang mention it before, and I couldn't help but feel a chill when I think about it. I hurriedly find a way to divert my attention and examine the Qingtou fished out from the South China Sea.

In the past, I was a "Golden-Touching Captain" who was sought after Shan Tieze. I was less than ten times as good as this time when I became a Danmin. Almost all of the things in the eyes of Nanhaihai were taken out. The most important of them is of course the "Qin King's Bone Mirror", the head of the eight mirrors of the Qin tyrants. If I could hand them over to Professor Chen, I would have fulfilled my wish.

However, this bronze mirror is heavy in its yin energy. After I found it from the shipwreck, I kept it sealed in a bag and never looked at it again. At this time, I took it out and looked it carefully with Shirley Yang again. The bright moon hung high on the sea, but under the moonlight, the ancient mirror was not shining. The mirror was worn very seriously. The fine seal carved and cut on the mirror body was extremely fine. The Xia vessel was plain and without patterns. The Yin vessel was simple and majestic, with patterns like insects and fish swimming. However, the carved seal of the "Qin King's Bone Mirror" was like a tadpole forming a formation, and it looked like the ancient hexagram. It was probably a secret weapon cast in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

I was just claiming to be strange, but my eyes fell on the four-legged mermaid at the corner of the bronze mirror, but I was stunned on the spot as if I had been sucked. The four-legged mermaid decorated with the mirror body was simple and vivid, but the fish's eyes were empty, just like the bronze dragon talisman I discovered in the Hundred Eyes Cave more than ten years ago. The blind dragon talisman was also an antique passed down from which dynasty. It was installed in Huang Daxian's bronze coffin and made a bright weapon. Now, when I think about it carefully, the dragon talisman and the fish decoration on the bronze mirror are extremely similar in age, style and size.

Chen Xiaozi, who made a fortune teller in Beijing, seemed to know the secret of this, but last time I was too hasty, after I mentioned the blind dragon talisman, he only made a "four" gesture, and then his whereabouts were unknown. I had thought about it repeatedly, but I couldn't guess what the "four" was. Now I saw whether there were aimless four-legged fish on the bronze mirror, and my heart was even more foggy. Could it be that "four" refers to four ancient bronze artifacts, dragons and fish are one of them, and what are the other two? What are these copper beasts without eyes used for? What are the secrets hidden in it? The tadpole pattern on the "Qin King's Bone Mirror" seems to contain hexagrams. Perhaps these mysterious copper dragons and copper fish objects without eyes are related to the full-day hexagrams of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The sixteen-character full-day hexagram number contains infinite numbers, which can be deduced into various hexagrams. The hexagrams need to be interpreted in hexagram text. These are really difficult to reach the sky for my half-baked level. However, ancient guesses that the ancestors of the Han people have passed down from generation to generation. Although the most primitive formula for the Xizhou full-day hexagram number is not complicated, the content is more profound than what Zhang Yingchuan, a descendant of the author of "The Secret Technique of Yin and Yang Feng Shui", was studied by Zhang Yingchuan, but the Han people have always regarded these hexagram words as spells to protect their bodies under the sea, and they do not seem to know their origin.

Thinking of this, I turned to look at the sleeping Guchai, thinking that it would be better to wait until he wakes up and ask him about the King of Qin's bone mirror. Maybe he will know the mystery of the blind bronze beast.

I was thinking about it on the boat. At this time, the fat man and Uncle Ming woke up one after another. The wind and tide were quiet on the sea. I don’t know where the broken boat has floated to. Everyone put the last few drops of water in the kettle to moisten their throats and discussed how to catch a few flying fish passing by the boat for a while and eat them raw to satisfy their hunger.

I also felt hungry, so I reinstalled the King of Qin's bone mirror and said to everyone: "Revolution is to treat guests to dinner, and I have no energy to do anything without filling my stomach. When it comes to eating and drinking, I must have the attitude and appetite like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. I cannot be careless at all, so we have to think about some mistakes quickly..."

Fatty, Uncle Ming and I tried to catch fish as we talked. Uncle Ming said that there were flying fish in the South China Sea, and they often traveled through the waves in groups on the sea. When the sky was bright, as long as we were led by the pearl, we could attract flying fish with wings to pass by the side of the boat. But now it is still midnight, and we waited at the bow of the boat for a long time but no fish came out of the water.

We had no choice but to wait until dawn to make a decision. When we turned around, we saw Shirley Yang checking out Duoling who was unconscious. There was no medical treatment or medicine in the vast ocean. If she kept unconscious, she might have life in danger and the situation was not optimistic.

Shirley Yang found that her condition worsened and asked me to help find out Duoling's pulse. But as soon as I touched Duoling's wrist, I felt something hidden under her sleeves, and it seemed that she was wearing a watch. I thought it was a diving watch, so I wanted to take it off for her. But unexpectedly, Duoling's wrist was wearing the diamond-inlaid gold watch that the fat man pulled off from the arm of the dead man in the shipwreck. Seeing this, the fat man wanted to take it back, but the gold watch was deeply embedded in the flesh on Duoling's wrist. Maybe it could be cut out with a knife.

I looked at the gold watch and said, "Why did this gold watch run away from her?" As I was suspicious, I suddenly heard a fishy smell in the sea breeze. We dealt with dead bodies many times and felt like the smell of corpses, but there were no rotten corpses on the boat, so I couldn't help but feel strange.

Uncle Ming even stoked the ancient corpse that had been trampling for more than ten years. He knew it was definitely stinking of the corpse. Everyone sniffed each other for a long time before they confirmed that the stinking of the corpse was coming from Duoling. After careful examination, they found that there were indeed not obvious corpses on her body, and a few drops of fishy corpse oil flowing out of her mouth and nose. I had long felt that the captain's gold watch might be in trouble. At this time, he didn't care whether it would hurt Duoling's flesh. He used a diving dagger to force the gold watch and threw it into the sea.

Uncle Ming was shocked and said, "Oh no, the gold watch was fished out of the wreckage ship. I'm afraid it was the magic of the head-slaying magic that went to Nanyang. What's the use of throwing the gold watch? Now the head-slaying has fallen on her body. The corpse smell on her body is even worse than an infectious disease. If you don't throw A Ling into the sea to feed the fish, no one of us can live."

Uncle Ming had been roaming in Southeast Asia for a long time. When he saw the corpse smelling in the gold watch, he believed that it was a stinking technique. The three techniques of "subduing, Gu, and Ju" were called the three major evil techniques in Southeast Asia. Ju is a strange poison made of various incredible methods. The principle of guzhi is inseparable from the word "confused", which is to make people lose their minds by raising poisonous insects and releasing Gu; while the stinking technique is a magic trick that uses talismans, corpses, and ghosts as a medium to harm people. The "corpse descending, ghost descending" derived from it can quickly cause a large number of people and animals to die like an infectious disease, which is even worse than a plague, and is the most difficult to understand.
