Chapter 13 Trident (below)

I on how to enter the coral spiral sea, the heart has its own ideas, this matter is confidential, naturally do not have to and “break the martial arts” explicitly, just let him take the big gold teeth to find the owner of the ship to negotiate the price, in addition to open a bill of lading, please “break the martial arts” on behalf of the preparation of the hull for maintenance and testing to ensure that after the sea it can be foolproof. The ship will be overhauled and tested to ensure that it will be safe and sound when it goes out to sea.

Since the ship has been determined, the people will be divided into action, Uncle Ming and others are responsible for the preparation of things, I am looking for local fishermen everywhere, to explore the sea egg collection, busy for several days in a row, Shirley Yang rushed to join, but I did not expect Professor Chen also followed her together, the original Professor Chen assured that he could not wait, intends to personally with us to go out to sea together, how can I be willing to take him to risk, in a lot of persuasion, only to convince him to stay on Coral Temple Island. Convince him to stay on Coral Temple Island, in addition to letting the big gold teeth also stay on the island, with him to have a care, and so we got back, and then return to Beijing together.

I took Shirley Yang carefully look at the refitted ship, this sea willow ship has not been named, we finally named it “Trident”, according to local Chinese customs, new or refurbished ships before going to sea have held some ceremonies to worship the sea god, folding incense, chopping dry stocks, drenching the old wine, and go to the coral temple to the A-Ma-Zu incense to pray for a safe and smooth sailing, to the coral temple to the A-Ma-Zu, to the coral temple to the coral temple to the coral temple to the Coral Temple, to the Coral Temple, to the Coral Temple. Although we do not believe in this set, but into the local customs, or can not be exempted from this procedure, followed by the need to find a helm of the old sea wolves, but this candidate is really too difficult to find, the mention of going to the ghost-infested coral spiral, almost everyone has no hesitation to refuse, that place in the eyes of the locals almost a piece of forbidden area can not even be mentioned.

Finally had to be by Uncle Ming, the self-proclaimed knowledge of the wind letter, know the water, know the sea topography of the old captain to take the program, but I know too much about Uncle Ming’s person, the old port farmers on the whole, an old outlaw, the old crooks, the old gambler, full of speculative ideas, as long as it is for the sake of getting rich, there is nothing in the world he would not dare to do the hook, his motto is: “There is gambling is not a loss, do not know that the time and luck of the gamble! High.”

I think by Uncle Ming to steer the boat is not too reassuring, in addition, only the four of us out to sea, the manpower is too thin, some of the situation is afraid to cope with, is feeling difficult, fortunately, Shirley Yang hired a few egg people, they are all Vietnamese Chinese, which is called Ruan Hei, the oldest elder, aged about fifty years old, although the face of the mustache are white, but the eyes of the spirit of the full sharp, a calm and capable experienced old fishermen. Although his face was gray, his eyes were sharp and full of spirit, he was a calm and experienced old fisherman.

The other two young men and women, the young man named “Guchai”, is Ruan Hei’s disciple, almost 15 or 16 years old, looks black and thin, hands and feet are very flexible, like a monkey, the girl was born with a pair of big watery eyes, a head of long hair hanging down to the waist, looks inherited the main characteristics of Vietnamese women, the skin is darker, the name “Duo Ling”, the girl was born with a pair of large eyes, a long hair hanging down to the waist, the face inherits the main characteristics of Vietnamese women, the skin is darker, the name “Duo Ling”. Her name was “Duo Ling”, she was about twenty years old, a mixed race Vietnamese and French, and she also called Ruan Hei her master.

Duo Ling is Ruan Hei escaped from Vietnam when he adopted an orphan, Cu Chai is a Coral Temple Island aboriginal, also an orphan, the three in the island fishing for a living dependent on each other, life is very poor, Ruan Hei and his apprentice daughter has experience in long-distance sailing, can steer the rudder to fish, but also in the water to pick beads, because Shirley Yang can pay directly to the U.S. dollar bill, so they are willing to take the risk of the three with us on the sea, to make a considerable income, with the money for the journey, they would like to go to sea. They were willing to take the risk of going to sea with us to earn a sizable income, so that they could go to France to join Doreen’s lost relatives.

When I saw these three Vietnamese, I immediately expressed my opposition, as soon as I heard them talk I remembered the past of fighting in the front line, the blood and fire and smoke as if it were yesterday, and sometimes I occasionally ran into my former comrades, although they talked about the previous battles, they all looked very calm, and they just talked about who was sorry, who was crippled, and who, if they were still alive, would be how it would be, but they were all the same as I was, no one dared to Carefully recall and describe, probably all the veterans who participated in the counterattack war in self-defense against Vietnam, they rarely dare to recall the scenes of blood and flesh on the ground, and never dare to look at their own military medals, once you see the medals will think of their comrades blocking the bullets, and after seeing it, you will sit in the corner and cry like a child, it is said that most of the U.S. Army troops who took part in the war in Vietnam are suffering from the aftereffects of the shell-shock disease and so on, and I am afraid that it is necessary to and that kind of hot and oppressive natural environment, and as hot as Vietnam. I’m afraid this has to do with the stifling natural environment of Vietnam, as well as the brutal battles like a meat grinder. Souls that have been tortured by war are incomplete and easily stimulated.

But Shirley Yang advised me that Nguyen Hiep’s family are not “VC”, they are the United States military evacuation of Saigon when the refugees fled, not to mention that Nguyen Hiep was originally Chinese, the ancestry is Yantai, Shandong, speak Chinese well, so you do not need to have any psychological barriers.

I think about it is indeed this reason, there is nothing to refute the reason, since Shirley Yang trusts Ruan Hei father and daughter three, her vision should not be a problem, so I had to agree to let Ruan Hei and others to join, and then I put all the members of the sea to get together, and repeatedly discuss the feasibility of the plan of action a few times to confirm that there is no error, then all things are ready, just waiting for the next day early morning to move the mountain sea.

That night I was on the cabin of the goods for the last time to organize, which is the most important, to belong to the moving mountains and reclamation techniques need to use all kinds of items, these things are strange and varied, most of them are not seen in the daily application of things, but in the moving mountains in the use of the art, but it can play an extraordinary role, although I have never practiced, but I believe that moving mountains Taoist! “Partridge whistle” left behind in the many records, there must not be false words, “moving mountain Taoist” thousands of years by virtue of moving mountain points armor theft throughout the world of Tibet, if there is no real skills, and how can be with the “touch of gold secret art If he didn’t have real skills, how could he be compared to the “Secret Art of Gold Touching”?

I finished checking was about to go back to sleep, but on the way to see Professor Chen hurriedly rushed to find me, he has nothing to do on the island, learned that we received a batch of green head of the ancient jade, we have to go over and over again to study up, he put each piece of the ancient jade have drawn a graphic, want to collect as a data, the results of this unintentional action, but also came up with an amazing result.

I took over the graphics drawn by Prof. Chen, a look also feel very surprised, the original dozens of each of the broken modeling bizarre ancient jade, is separated from a huge jade carving, now in the figure like a piece of broken jigsaw puzzle and was reassembled complete, although some of the parts of the difficult to recover, but the outline of the roughly intact, this jade carving is a fish-tailed human head of the woman monster, in the context of the sea beasts temple totem, with candles in the A huge tortoise armor for divination, I studied a long time Yi art, see a candle turtle divination, of course, very interested, then carefully go to look at the tortoise armor on the trigrams, a little recognition, the heart began to beat wildly more than: “This demon seems to be deducing the eight trigrams of the first heaven ah ……”
