Chapter 145 Monk Hai

I hurriedly looked back at the calm water. Only the sea surge was gradually increasing. The two small boats rose and fell with the tide, but there was no other abnormal phenomenon. So I said to Guchai: "Don't tell me to stop mentioning it." Ghost? I don’t have a long memory. Monsters must be hidden in high mountains, and there are spirits in deep forests. Don’t talk nonsense in a place like this.” After saying that, I asked for a small mirror that Shirley Yang brought with me, and secretly held it up to look at Guchai. But the mirror was too small, and the two boats were undulating on the water, so it was impossible to see the reflection in the mirror clearly.

Duoling was worried about Guchai and asked, "Junior brother, why do you always talk about ghosts?" Guchai said a few words of Coral Temple Island dialect to her senior sister. Uncle Ming could understand a lot of them after living in Nanyang for a long time. He listened Later, he told us that Guchai was talking about the bilge of Hailiu Boat.

The sea willow boat is made of sea willow as the main material. From ancient times to the present, there have been few such boats. Even Uncle Ming had never seen it before. The sea willow is not wood, but its nature is extremely yin, so it occupies The word "willow" is used in ancient times. Willow was regarded as the "head of the five ghosts" in ancient times. It is said that if you grind the juice of willow leaves and rub it on your eyelids, you can see ghosts at night. It is one of the five types of yin alongside the locust tree. Tree.

In ancient times, tombs were required to have seals and trees. The seal refers to the sealing of earth. The tree is any one of the five ghost trees. The locust tree and willow tree are not suitable to be planted in the yard of the Yangzhai because it is a veritable Yinzhai tree. There is a folk proverb. "Don't plant five ghosts in your courtyard", this is exactly what it means.

Whether they are Captain Mojin or Dan Min, they all know a common truth - "There must be a reason for a name." Even the most common names of people such as Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Ermazi are , are all based on rankings, surnames, and characteristics. The title "Hai Liu" is naturally not groundless. In addition to its shape resembling a willow, it also has the property of accepting yin of a willow tree. Legend has it that people who drown in the sea are Hai Liu. Ghosts and sea ghosts often gather on sea willows. As the moonlight appears on the sea surface, as time goes by, a group of ghost energy condenses in the sea willows. Living people who touch this ghost energy will immediately feel cold and cold. Death.

Believe it or not, in any case, there is such an invisible and qualityless Yin Qi in the thousand-year-old sea willows. Just like some lifelike Buddha statues naturally appear in some clam shells, the Yin Qi in the sea willows is also mostly human-shaped. Hailiu shipbuilding and navigation can cut through the waves and go deep into the open sea. Even if it encounters rough waves, as long as some part of the ship uses thousand-year-old sea willow, the danger can often be saved. This relies entirely on the sea ghost yin energy in the sea willow. However, There are many taboos on the sea. There must be a secret cabin in the sea willow boat to worship sea ghosts. There is such a superstitious saying that anyone who talks about sea ghosts on the sea willow boat will die a violent death.

Most of the secret cabins that support sea ghosts will put sea stone flowers and lock the bones of sea bandits. Because when a sea willow ship sails to the sea, the sea willows in the hull will surge with Yin Qi, and many crew members will continue to die inexplicably. Stone flowers can absorb this ghost spirit. There is often a kind of "sea monk" that is half fish and half shrimp near sea stone flowers. This kind of fish can survive in the water. It is an amphibious creature. When caught, it will kowtow to beg for mercy and make a cooing sound in its mouth. It seems to be reciting "Amitabha". It usually sucks and licks the black water produced by the sea stone flowers after absorbing the yin energy. The superstitious crew members believe that the black water is the resentment of the ghosts in the sea willows, and the "sea monk" is the Bodhisattva in the sea. There are "black relics" in the fish's head, and chanting Buddha's name on the boat can save the souls of the dead. Therefore, if fishermen catch the "sea monk", they will release it immediately. No fishermen dare to eat this kind of fish.

The bones of pirates are also an indispensable anchor for sea willow ships. They can frighten the undead in sea willows. There are countless such weird customs in Southeast Asia. Nowadays, sea willow ships are almost extinct in the world. , such incredible taboos cannot be fully believed, nor should they be disbelieved. The British salvage team did not believe in this evil, and planned to catch a few "sea monks" to make specimens. However, they violated the taboo and were possessed by the Yin Qi in the sea willows. Invasion, ruining a good life in vain.

Ming Shufeng had heard something about it, but forgot about it without mentioning the truth. He only knew about it in general, but had never seen it in person. At this time, Guchai told some things that Ruan Hei had told him before, and everyone finally knew a thing or two about Guchai. Chaize is convinced of this. He has always believed that after the death of his master Ruan Hei, the ghost was attached to the sea willow in the bottom cabin. Although he was frightened and frightened at the time, now that he has left the ship, he cannot help but be reluctant to leave. He turned around and looked back to see if Master Ruan Hei was among the sea ghosts in the water.

At this point, Duoling and Guchai shed tears together again. They put down their wooden oars and raised their hands to wipe away their tears. Their boat suddenly slowed down. I took the opportunity to use the mirror to look at Guchai's back. When I wanted to take a closer look, the mirror in my hand was taken back by Shirley Yang. She whispered to me: "What are you doing again? Why are you using the mirror to take random pictures of them?"

I told her about seeing the ghost of the captain in the sunken ship. Shirley Yang said: "Just now you were blaming Guchai for always mentioning ghosts and breaking taboos, but now it's better. You say the same thing and do the same thing, and you are saying both inside and outside." Enough said.”

I said to Shirley Yang: "Our future is bright, but the road is tortuous. Now we are lost in the chaotic ruins. On this tortuous road, we have to be cautious in everything. Who can truly prove that there are people in the world?" Ghost or no ghost? If something dirty catches up with Guchai, naturally you and I can't just stand by and watch, but if something happens, it will be too late. The cucumbers and vegetables will be cold by then, so I feel that Guchai won't do anything when he's under the water. It’s so right, do you feel this way?”

Shirley Yang shook her head and said: "I see that Duoling and Guchai are both simple and honest people. I didn't notice anything unusual about Gucai on the Mary Sennu. I know you are going to treat us." People are worried about their uncertain future at sea, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. In the captain’s cabin, I saw a portrait of the captain himself. He had a beard, wearing a gold watch, and holding a gold watch in his hand. Pipe, that cabin is very narrow, and we brought a lot of diving lighting equipment. The light and shadow are refracted under the water waves. Maybe what you see in the mirror is just the image reflected on it."

I was dumbfounded when I heard this. Could it be that my eyes were wrong? In the complex underwater environment of darkness, lack of oxygen and high pressure, coupled with the shaking of the diving lighting equipment, this is something that cannot be prepared for. Maybe the ghost in the mirror is a temporary illusion, but then I thought, we dive to salvage "The King of Qin" During the "bone mirror" process, too many things that are difficult to understand happened. Are all these things normal? Why does the shark repellent you carry on your body lose its effectiveness at the same time under the water? Why are those evil sharks chasing us like crazy and not letting us go? Once the enemy is manipulated, everything will be in trouble. Now the salvage team has lost a member. If you want to bring back all the survivors, how can you turn a blind eye to these strange things? Don't bully the mountains, don't bully the water. The sea has swallowed up so many creatures from ancient times to the present. There are far fewer dead ghosts on the seabed than on land. Moreover, things in the sea are too difficult to explain. They are many times more complicated than those in the deep mountains and old forests. Let's touch the golden school Captain Chang Boast oneself, saying that people are extraordinary people, everything they encounter is extraordinary, and their experience and knowledge are beyond the reach of ordinary people. But if you put it on the sea, your eyes will be almost black, and you are not even as good as Uncle Ming. This is called Every other line is like a mountain.

Shirley Yang originally wanted to comfort me, but when I said this, she had to frown slightly. She also had many questions in her mind about the action of diving to fish for green heads just now, but she had no clue at the moment. , rowing the wooden oar in his hand, looking at the sea water in silence.

At this time, the fat man said to us: "You two really have no pursuits. Don't make things difficult for yourself. I think the sea, my hometown, is just like what is sung in the song. We Dan people were born by the sea and grew up in the sea. The sea is Like our mother, she was generous and selfless to us, allowing us to make a lot of money this time. When we have enough strength, when there is water in the eye of the sea, we can just swim out and end the knot. Why don't we care so much? What are you doing? Besides, you two are just talking in private, and the old gangsters from Hong Kong are not idle either."

The fat man signaled me to pay attention to Uncle Ming's movements. We moved the lifeboat to the side of the boat where Uncle Ming and the others were. We heard Uncle Ming comforting Duoling and Guchai, claiming that he liked these two children from the bottom of his heart. The two of them stopped going to France to find relatives, and simply worshiped themselves as their teachers, and boasted: "Why do you all call me Uncle Ming? Because your uncle and I are the light. Everyone in Nanyang knows that, as long as you follow Uncle Ming People will never fall into darkness..."

The fat man and I immediately whistled and cheered to Uncle Ming: "You should rest as soon as possible. Don't we still know what kind of bird you are? Aren't you just a bankrupt land and sea amphibious speculator? When did you take yourself for granted?" Are you a saint? His face is three inches thicker than the corner of the city wall."

Even without Ruan Hei's entrustment before his death, I would not have been able to watch Guchai and Duoling jump into the big fire pit of Uncle Ming. After finding Duoling's biological father in France, she should be able to get a life that truly belongs to her. , and Guchai is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his future should be brighter. He is not like me and Fatty Sixteen-Seven now. We had no choice about our future at that time. There was a saying back then: "No When asking about morality, intelligence, and physical fitness, you only ask who is the oldest person in the industry. Otherwise, it must be someone in their fifties." This means that the way out for young people is to go to the mountains and countryside. If there are many brothers and sisters in the family, the eldest brother will stay and the second child will leave. , the third oldest stayed and the fourth left, so those who jumped in line asked who was older in the line. In addition, the unemployed young people who stayed in the city could take over the jobs of their parents. The prerequisite was that their fathers were in their fifties first, so our group of people were in Before the age of thirty, you have no right to choose your own destiny.
