Chapter 83 The Dutchman Flying in the Sky
Uncle Ming was afraid that he lost his footing and fell into the sea, holding tightly to an arrow stone, called: “Hu Chai ah, or your uncle I usually do too much good deeds accumulated great virtue, only to make the fortunate have heavenly phenomena, your abusive child this time to follow me, is considered to pick up a life back, which is the master of the fishermen and A-Ma blessed the sea over the Dragon Soldier.”
I used to be in Fujian, I have also heard of the South China Sea “Dragon Soldier” thing, and the phenomenon of the sea market, the sea Zi and other phenomena are rare wonders of the sea, that refers to the whales or turtles assembled into groups, whale spine and turtle armor floating out of the water, in the sea, a spectacular sight, fishermen believe that the phenomenon over the Dragon Soldier signs are different, over the whales and turtles are auspicious signs, and over a large number of Sea fish floating across the sea, it is a lack of seafood, sea disaster will come to the omen of disaster.
In fact, the phenomenon of “Dragon Soldier” is the bottom of the sea to produce a huge change, caused by the sea of water in the group migration, it may be the coral spiral in the sea gas dragon fire disappeared, “return to the ruins” in the turtles only floating far away from the water, it is just right that we rely on floating on the sacred wood up, I used to be and fat man in the grassland and the desert between the hundred eyes cave, have seen the ground turtle armor all over, that piece of “turtle burial” in the sea gas changes like a ghost market, produced a gray monuments, now think, hundred eyes cave ghost market phantom cloth, a scene of changes in the bizarre situation, it is “return to the ruins” in the ancient tombs, the ancient tombs in the “ruins”, the sea gas dragon fire disappeared. “in the ancient tomb, coral spiral sea early in thousands of years ago, must have occurred a number of times “over the dragon soldiers” of the turtle herd migration spectacle, but the year from the return of the ruins of the turtles escaped, were buried in the hundred eyes of the Yellow Springs of the “Turtle Sleeping” In the center of the turtle.
Uncle Ming let the people seize the opportunity to copy the knife again to chop the dead body of the shark, I see things have turned, think of Ruan Hei and Duo Ling teacher and disciple’s life, are left at the end of this “South Dragon” remaining veins, the heart of the heart for a while of loss, suddenly feel weak, feel unsteady feet stand, then sit down on the wood, the hand just touched the rickshaw wood, the wood blocks, arrows and stones have fallen into the water. The hand just touched the door wood, wood pieces, arrows and stones have fallen into the water, I looked down, the cracks on the wood is deepening and expanding, I can not help but immediately a cold shiver: “Oh no, this cut off the ancient wood in the ghost island under the impact of seawater, the most fragile, it looks like it will soon be dismembered, a big disaster is coming.” Before it was too late to remind the rest of the people, the rickrolling wood floating in the sea had already begun to disintegrate.
Floating in the coral spiral on the surface of the rickshaw, in the eyes of the sea for millions of years, not wither and not rotten, all rely on the sea to maintain life, now away from the return to the market, and suffered a few successive blows, full of scales of the bark, as well as embedded in which the arrows of the stone began to peel off one after another, the sharks of the dead body by the sea wave impulse, but also from the slowly from the rickshaw on the detachment of the broken half of the divine wood with the waves drifting in the sea.
We see this thick natural “canoe”, in the sea will not last long will be broken by the current, but in the starry night sky, all around are endless sea water, all people can do nothing about it, as things now, can only go with the flow of nature and listen to God’s will.
I look at the side of the undulating turtles are thinking hard about countermeasures, suddenly saw not far from the back of the turtle seems to be burdened with a person, the person wearing a diving suit with a yellow logo, quite eye-catching in the sea, a head of long hair batch spread, it is the return to the ruins of the multi-ling, she is lying on the back of the turtle is motionless, I do not know whether it is alive or dead, the giant turtle with the currents floating, and then suddenly sunk into the sea, multi-ling’s body was immediately washed by seawater on the one side.
She may be from the god wood fell down after even get not die, with the egg people familiar with the water, in the turbulence dragged from the return of the ruins of the giant tortoise, which was able to return to the surface of the sea, see more than Ling from the back of the tortoise fell into the sea, is drifting from the side of the rickshaw wood, I can’t think about it, and hurriedly greeted the ancient Gu Cai a word, a step leaped to the end of the wood, pulling a piece of arrow rock jumped into the water, will be more than the bell’s hair pulling, at this time, ancient Gu Cai and so on also has been Arrived, the crowd of people seven hands and feet to support Duo Ling on the wood.
I grasped the arrow stone climbed on the rickshaw, only to see Shirley Yang is in full force to rescue, more Ling face as white as paper, sanity, but after rescue, finally spit out a few mouths of seawater, have a trace of vitality.
I heart a stone fell to the ground, looked at the ancient guess, he is kowtowing to the east, as if in thanks to Ruan Hei in heaven, to save Duo Ling survived, but also like in the worship of the ancestors of the egg people, the fat man dragged him up: “Don’t hit your head against the wood, you still think it is not sinking fast enough is it how? Thank goodness it’s all nonsense, death does not belong to the proletariat, when I was fighting in the mountains ……”.
In the sea is the most taboo to mention the “overturn, down, sink” and other words, fat man’s words have not yet fallen, was Uncle Ming pressed the mouth: “Fatty, everyone is going to be killed by you, deceiving the mountains do not deceive the water, this kind of taboo words dare to talk nonsense!”
Fatty fire, was about to denounce Uncle Ming this old reactionary academic authority’s ridiculous views, but at this time, we all feel the foot violently loose, a time all fall to the east, stand uncertainly, under the feet of the wooden body continues to crack scattered, I screamed bad, just thought that this cut off the rotten stake, at least in the sea can float for a few hours, but now it seems that it will be split up immediately.
At this time, the group of turtles have submerged into the seabed do not know where to go, the surface of the sea is empty of nothing, a wave hit, “r楗木” surfaced in this part of the sea was crushed, the people have to fall into the water, had to grab the scattered wood, but the South China Sea sharks are very much, even if by some chance will not meet the evil sharks, so immersed in the ice-cold seawater, but also How long can I maintain?
I was carrying a heavy bronze mirror, even grabbed a few boards, but are rotten loose, difficult to bear, had to pull the shoulder of the lifesaving bolt, a small life-saving airbags filled with gas, high and low floating on the surface, it is the time of the pain, suddenly heard Shirley Yang greeted me: “Old Hu, you look, there are boats! ”
I thought I heard wrong, “coral spiral” sea where there will be a boat? But at this time the fat man and other people have been on the surface of the sea yelling, as if the people really found the ship, I fixed my eyes to see, but it is not a foreign ship, the original “r楗木” top, although there is no channel, but the interior has been dug out, which are some strange and bizarre funerary objects, r楗木碎裂后, it is scattered floating in the sea water, which hides a complete ancient ship, which is a very strange and bizarre. Among them even hid a complete ancient ship, the bottom of the ship shallow mast short, oval hull, seems to be for the seabed of the dead, prepared for the martyrdom, take our words will be, this ship is a piece of “Ming ware”.
In the sea surge, we can not see clearly what is the boat, but this time it is not easy to have a lifeline, not to mention the boat is “Ming ware”, even if it is a ghost ship, only first climb up and then say, for fear that if there is a slight delay, once the sea surge amplitude increases, the crowd will be washed away by the waves in a matter of moments.
I hastened to shake the spirit, swim to the side of the boat, to the near place to see to understand, it turned out that the bottom of this boat, is made of a giant turtle’s armor, the size of the lifeboat is almost bigger than the ordinary on the first, accommodate five or six people is not much of a problem, there is only a shallow cabin in the boat can not get into the people, which is loaded with coral a kind of funerary objects, because it is for the dead, so there is no anything practical, the boat in the whale skin as a sail, shark tendons to do cable, than the whale skin as a sail, the shark tendons to do cable, the whale skin to do cable, the shark tendons to do cable, the whale skin to do cable. Whale skin for sails and shark tendons for cables, compared to ordinary wooden boats, this almost fossilized tortoise shell and whale bone boat can last as long as new, and can still be used today, but this ancient ship is like a false model, if it meets a gale and huge waves, it will surely be buried at the bottom of the sea.
But we can not care so much, help each other one after another on the “medieval boat”, lying on the turtle armor even panting, who do not have the strength to move again, now is not the windy season at sea, the sea eye of the South Dragon condensation of the sea gas a disappearance, nine times out of ten will not be like that when you come to the same fear, as long as A-Ma blessing there is no hurricanes, we are perched on a leaf in the lonely boat. As long as Mazu blesses us with no hurricane, we will be able to stay in this lonely boat without worrying about being fed to the sharks in the sea for the time being.
Duo Ling in the boat is still unconscious, the rest of the people are a little tired of force, are exhausted and sleep with eyes closed, at the moment even if the sky collapses also do not want to open their eyes, I fight with both eyelids, followed by the daze for an hour or two, the brain is still vaguely thinking about the details of the “mountain moving and reclamation techniques”, thinking hard how to make use of the mountain moving Taoist’s formula, in the case of no water and no food, to put the boat in the sea. No food, no water, the bone armor ship back to the coral temple island.
In the second half of the night, the hunger in the belly is hard to endure, woke up to see Shirley Yang do not know when has also woken up, leaning on the whalebone mast gazing at the starry sky, I also looked at the sky densely packed with stars out of a moment of God, the experience of the sea flashed through the mind one by one, the heart of the heart, could not help but Shirley Yang, said: “At first, I also know that the Coral Spiral Sea dangerous and unpredictable, but it is still a hot-headed But it is still hot-headed to come to, now fall into this scene, empty boat full of valuable green head, but not in exchange for a pot of water and a half piece of dry food, think back, we were probably crazy …….”
Shirley Yang said: “you a crazy, I am at most a fool, was you tricked to follow you together crazy.”
I hastened to explain: “I’m crazy that is also let Professor Chen leaping chatter, I can really admire the ancient times to touch the gold mountain for the profession of the predecessors, this kind of today do not know the tomorrow thing, the four seas have no home everywhere home days, really is not what people can withstand, this kind of day every day to die how many brain cells? It’s also time to live a peaceful life for a few days.”
Shirley Yang sighed softly: “If you really have that kind of realization would be good, but the river and mountain is easy to change, the nature can not be changed, in your eyes, the scenery will always be in the distance, there is no scenery in the near place, you simply can’t be honest at home for a few days, but we are adrift in the sea this time, the sea winds and waves are relentless, but really can’t be compared to the old days, I hope God blesses us, don’t make us do fly in the sky of the Dutchman in the sky.”
“Flying Dutchman” is synonymous with “Ghost Ship”, this legend refers to the meaning of the curse, forever drifting in the sea and can not be docked, I have heard Shirley Yang mentioned before, at this moment I can not help but think of some spine chill, and hastily think of ways to shift their attention. I hastened to find a way to divert my attention to examine the green head fished out from the South China Sea.
Previously do search the mountain pick Ze’s “touch gold lieutenant”, ten times is not as good as this time when an egg people’s harvest, the South China Sea sea eye of this thing, almost all let us fish out, the most important, of course, to belong to the first of the eight mirrors of the King of Qin “King of Qin mirror”, if we can hand over to Professor Chen’s hands, we will be able to find a way to find the green head of the South China Sea. If you can hand over to Prof. Chen, it is also considered to have fulfilled a wish.
However, this ancient bronze mirror heavy yin gas, I found it from the shipwreck, it has always been sealed in the bag and then did not see, this time casually took out, once again, and Shirley Yang with a close look over, the moon over the sea, but under the moonlight, the ancient mirror is not much luster, the mirror surface is very badly worn, look at the mirror body carving carved fine seals of the seal, unusually dense, summer ware plain and no lines, Yin ware simple and majestic, the lines such as the line of insects, fish swim, but the “Qin King’s Bone Mirror”. Fish swim, but the “King of Qin mirror” carved seal as tadpole formation of the situation, like Han ancient trigrams, is estimated to be a piece of the Western Zhou period casting of the secret weapon.
I was wondering, my eyes fell to the corners of the bronze mirror on the four-legged fish, but like being sucked in the general frozen on the spot, the mirror body decorated with four-legged fish, modeling simplicity, but the fish’s eyes are empty without eyes, like I found more than ten years ago in the hundred-eyed cave of the bronze dragon general, that the blind dragon is also unknown to which dynasty and which generation of antiquity passed down, was mounted in the bronze coffin of the yellow fairy to do the Ming ware, and now think back, the dragon with the bronze coffin, and the bronze mirror on the fish decorations, the age of the bronze mirror. Now, in retrospect, the dragon talisman and the fish decoration on the bronze mirror, the age of the bones, paragraph shape and size, are extremely similar.
Chen blind man in Beijing fortune-telling for a living, seems to know the mystery of this, but last time too much in a hurry, I mentioned that blind dragon talisman, he only did a “four” gesture, and then the whereabouts of unknown, I have thought about it again and again, but I can not guess the “four” what is the name, and now I see the bronze mirror on the dragon talisman. I have thought about it again and again, but I can not guess what “four” is, and now I see that the bronze mirror has a four-legged fish with no purpose as a decoration, and my heart is even more foggy, is it that “four” refers to the four kinds of bronze antique artifacts, the dragon and the fish are one of them, and what are the remaining two? These bronze beasts without eyes, in fact, is used for what? What are the secrets hidden in them? The tadpole pattern on the “King of Qin’s Bone Mirror” seems to hide the number of trigrams, perhaps these mysterious bronze dragons and fish without eyes are related to the all-day trigrams of the Western Zhou period.
Sixteen words all day number of trigrams, which contains infinite number of machines, can be deduced as a variety of trigrams, trigrams need to be interpreted with the trigrams, these half-baked level for me, is really difficult to get to the sky, can be ancient guess ancestor of the boat-dwelling people passed down from one generation to the next, the most primitive all day number of trigrams of the Western Zhou Dynasty recipe, recipe, although it is not complicated, but the content is more than the “sixteen words of yin and yang feng shui secret art” author of the descendants of the study of Zhang Winchuan and more esoteric, but the boat-dwelling people! traditionally used these trigrams as incantations to protect their bodies at the bottom of the sea, and didn’t seem to know the origin of its origins.
Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at the sleeping Gu Chai, thinking that it would be better to wait for him to wake up, and ask him about the King of Qin’s Bone Mirror, perhaps he will know the mystery of the blind bronze beast.
I am on the boat thinking, this time the fat man and Uncle Ming also successively woke up hungry, the wind on the surface of the sea, I do not know this broken ship now drifting to what place, all the people in the kettle of the last few drops of water to moisten their throats, and discuss a moment if there is a flying fish passing by the side of the boat, how to catch a few of it to eat to fill up the hunger.
I also feel burning with hunger, it will be the first Qin Wang mirror reloaded, said to the crowd: “The revolution is a treat to eat, do not fill the stomach to do what have no strength, to treat food and drink should have the attitude and appetite of the autumn wind sweeping down the leaves, can not have a little sloppy, so we have to hurry to think of some way …… ”
Fatty and I, Uncle Ming three people talking to try to catch fish, Uncle Ming said the South China Sea has flying fish, often in groups on the surface of the sea through the waves, daybreak, as long as the pearl as a guide, can lead to the wings of the flying fish from the side of the boat swept through, but now is still the middle of the night, we waited for a long time in the bow of the boat did not see the fish out of the water.
We have no choice but to wait until dawn to make plans, turn around, see Shirley Yang is checking out the unconscious Duo Ling, in the vast ocean without medical treatment, if she stays unconscious, I’m afraid her life will be in danger, the situation is not optimistic.
Shirley Yang found that her condition deteriorated, busy let me help probe more bell’s pulse, but I just touched more bell’s wrist, I feel that she has something hidden under the sleeve, seems to wear a watch, I thought it was a dive watch, I want to take it off for her, but unexpectedly, more Ling wrist wear, but the fat man from the dead arm of the shipwreck jerked down the diamond encrusted gold watch, the fat man saw the situation, he wanted to take the watch back, but the The gold watch has been deeply embedded into the flesh on the wrist of Duo Ling, perhaps with a knife to gouge to gouge out.
I looked at the gold watch and wondered, “This gold watch …… how to run on her body?” Is in doubt at the time, suddenly heard the sea breeze has a fishy odor, we have dealt with the dead many times, feel like a corpse odor, but the ship does not have rotting corpses, can not help but be very strange.
Uncle Ming is more than ten years of pouring the ancient corpse, a smell know absolutely is the corpse stench, people sniff each other in each other’s body for half a day, to determine the stench of the corpse is from the body of the Duo Ling out of the careful examination, found that she does have a less obvious body echidna, there are still a few droplets of fishy corpse oil out of the mouth and nose, I’ve long felt that the Mary Siannu shipwrecked in the haunting of the captain of the gold watch may be very big problem, this time which is still care about will not hurt the flesh of the Duo Ling, but also to the body. I used my diving dagger to break the gold watch and threw it into the sea.
Uncle Ming was shocked and said: “Oh no, the gold watch was fished out from the shipwreck, and I am afraid that it has been put under the evil spell of the Southern Ocean, what’s the use of just throwing the gold watch away? Now that the evil spell has been put on her, the stench of the corpse on her body is even more powerful than an infectious disease, if you don’t throw Ling into the sea and feed her to the fishes, none of us on this boat will want to live.”
Uncle Ming long in the South China Sea, see that the golden table in the body stench, it was determined to be under the buck, “drop, compulsion, quail” three arts, and known as the three major evil arts in the South China Sea, quail art is made with a variety of incredible magic strange poison; compulsion art principle can not be separated from a “confused” word, it is through the raising of poisonous insects to release the word “confused”, it is through the raising of poisonous insects to release the poisonous insects. The principle of compulsion is inseparable from the word “confuse”, which is through the raising of poisonous insects to release compulsion, to make people lose their minds evil law; and head-subduing art, is to spells, corpses, ghosts, as the medium of the demonic art of harm, which derives from the “corpse descending, ghosts descending”, can be as infectious as quickly lead to a large number of deaths of animals and people, than the plague is even more difficult to figure out.
