Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Evil God Altar

I was a little surprised. At this time, Master Jiao’s words sounded ominous. I comforted him and said, “Master Jiao, I will definitely take care of Adi. Your injury is not serious, and you will recover soon. You He is our backbone, so don't say such depressing words." Lord Jiao shook his head and said: "The yellow paper on the blood divination before is a big disaster, so I didn't show it to everyone. But the hexagram says that the Fuchang will definitely reach Nanyang in the end. I guess it won't work." Now, you must take good care of Adi, her mother passed away early, she grew up in the sea since she was a child, as long as she doesn't get sick, she will be fine."

The more I heard, the more I looked like Tuogu, but I didn't know how to answer, so I gritted my teeth and agreed, "Master Jiao, I will do my best!" "It's not about doing your best, it's about doing it!" Master Jiao grabbed my hand tightly, with such strength that I felt my wrist was pinched so painfully.He originally begged in a low voice, but at this moment he was anxious, his face was ferocious, and he looked very fierce. It was only then that I remembered that after all, he has been a person who has traveled across the sea for many years. Master Jiao looked at Adi who was sleeping soundly not far away, his ferocious expression gradually softened, and said softly: "Adi, this child has a hard life, and she hasn't had a good life. I'm sorry for her." After a pause, he turned his head to look at I, I was a little hairy when he looked at me, and I suddenly felt a little nervous. The more he felt this kind of understatement, the more important I felt that what he had to explain was very important.

After staring at me for a long time, Lord Jiao seemed to have finally made up his mind, and said slowly: "Minsheng, since I decided to tell you the secret on the boat, I have already regarded you as one of my own. We must find a place I wish, Sea God can’t owe anything, just pay it my life, don’t spread it to Adi again!” I comforted: "Master Jiao, don't worry, this sea area is very similar to the fairy place you mentioned, maybe we can arrive tomorrow. The gods save people, and when the time comes, we will sincerely pay the gods a wish." , will definitely let us go. As long as you pass this hurdle, you are familiar with the nature of the sea, and it will be no problem to take us to Nanyang. Before boarding the ship, my uncle told me that on board your ship, everything Don't worry……"

Speaking of this, thinking that the Fuchang ship has become such a broken state, I suddenly lost my spirits, and I couldn't say any other words of comfort. Lord Jiao sighed: "Minsheng, you have also seen the weirdness in the sea along the way. To be honest, I have rolled in this sea all my life, but I still feel respect and awe for the sea. They say that Tao Haike is an old man. Hai is home, so there is no way. When I go ashore and put my feet on the ground, I really feel confident in my heart. But in this world, people's hearts are too bad. Compared with them, I would rather fight with monsters and fierce fish in the sea. deal."

I nodded my head, and I deeply agree with Master Jiao's words all the way down, but I didn't talk to him, and listened quietly to Master Jiao's continuation. "I didn't finish telling you what happened fifteen years ago. When the Fuchang went to sea, there were more than twenty men on board, and only five returned to Quanzhou alive." My heart was full of doubts, and I opened my mouth, but I still didn't know how to answer it. Lord Jiao sighed: "I will give you one last piece of advice. Remember, when you see the gold and silver treasures on the ship, you must hold back and don't take them. I always feel that it is a test given to us by the gods. Greed for this thing, No matter how you stop it, you can't stop it!"

Speaking of this, Lord Jiao took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and his eyes showed emotion for the past. No need to listen further, I also know that this is nothing more than a simple and cruel story.When I heard Master Jiao’s description before, I was thinking, since the boat is the emperor’s boat, there must be countless good things on board.Lord Jiao can restrain himself, but those subordinates may not.It seems that those who secretly took the things on the boat were found out, and they united and fell out with the people on Jiao Ye's side. Needless to say, Jiao Ye and the others survived.

Thinking of the bloody night that happened on the boat before, I was a little bored, so I changed the topic and said, "Master Jiao, didn't you say that there are five people who returned to Quanzhou? Are they unwilling to go to sea again to fulfill their wish?" Master Jiao smiled miserably: "After this incident, I was the only one who dared to hang out at sea again. They were all frightened and left Quanzhou, and never came back again." I was silent for a while.Lord Jiao patted me on the shoulder, took out the wooden box from his bosom and handed it to me: "I have said everything that should be said, and I have told you everything that should not be said. In short, Minsheng, you have to promise me that you will take me with you." After Adi goes up to fulfill her wish, take good care of her!"

I found out with complicated emotions that in the hazy mist, there were tears in Master Jiao's eyes.Master Jiao took good care of me on the boat before, but for Adi, a little girl who likes to be close to me, thinking of her big confused and pure eyes makes me feel soft.So he nodded solemnly. Master Jiao saw that I nodded in agreement, patted my shoulder, and turned to look at the other side of the boat.I followed his gaze and saw that Adi was lying in the shadow under the cabin, as if isolated from the surrounding environment.I suddenly felt that something was not quite right, but without thinking too much, I turned to look at Lord Jiao again, he had already closed his eyes.His hand was on his shriveled belly, and the leg suffering from black fever was stretched out straight.

I stood there stunned, and suddenly felt as if something had been overlooked by me. Lord Jiao is an unpredictable character, and it is really hard to tell the truth from what he said. I only know that his love for Adi is true.Although he is fundamentally a vicious and rude boss of Tao Hai Ke. We sorted out some things that could be used as weapons, settled Jiao Ye’s body, and supported Adi who looked indifferent. They all took a deep breath and boarded the ghost ship. This is the behavior when people have to trust each other. It’s funny to say that before we couldn’t tear each other apart, but now we have to put our lives in the hands of our opponents. Even though I know they are absolutely unreliable, they also know that I am nothing at all use.

I grabbed Adi and gave her an encouraging look. She was still in such a sluggish state, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The four of them came to the side of the boat, looked up, and wondered how to get up. I looked up at this huge decaying wooden boat, and analyzed it in my heart. The hundreds of years of barnacles on the hull are trivial. One fatal problem is that most of the sides of the giant ship have been damaged, and many ugly huge There are holes in the ship, which shows that the wood of the ship is almost completely decayed. We climbed up, and we may fall down at any time due to the splintering of the planks.

Uncle Quan said: "I think we have to find someone to go up to step on the situation first, rather than four people together. You see, there is a big hole there. We don't have to climb to the side of the boat, we just need to climb into that hole, and we're in." The cabin is gone. The situation inside may be better than outside. Lord Jiao said, when they entered the cabin fifteen years ago, many things were still as new.” We looked towards the hole, which was more than ten meters away from us, and my fishing line could reach it.It looks big enough, but it's dark inside, so I can't see clearly. Heipicai himself is the only one who can do this job. He is the thinnest and most flexible. I looked at the distance of more than ten meters.It would be nice if I could climb up. Sure enough, Hei Pi Cai regretted it after he finished speaking. Seeing that we were all looking at him, he pointed at me and said, "Your mother, uncle, I mean he will go." "My mother is your grandma, what is your mother." Uncle Quan said: "If he could go to Lao Tzu, he would have stabbed him on the neck. This guy is a waste, you don't know." Heipicai looked at me, and I nodded immediately: "What Uncle Quan said is that I'm a piece of trash." Hei Pi Cai lowered his head and stomped his feet to scold, Uncle Quan said: "If you want to get rich, don't dawdle at this time, it's time for you to do it." "Do it." Heipicai said: "Then, if something happens to me, I will definitely capsize you." Saying that, let us help. We tied a fishing line around his waist. Hei Pi Cai said it harshly, but he was still a little scared.There was a tinge of pleasure in my heart, Uncle Quan patted him and said: "Take me a bright spot, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't let it go in vain." Heipicai nodded, and flicked up the fishing line with the iron hook. After two flicks, he finally hooked the opening, gritted his teeth and began to climb up. As soon as we stepped on it, the rotten board part hooked by the hook on the top made a series of very uncomfortable board cracking sounds. We all held our breath immediately, and Hei Pi Cai was also pale and motionless, fearing that the board would burst. Fortunately, however, there was only one ring and the crackling stopped. I looked at Hei Pi Cai with a strange mood, hoping that he would go up safely, but if he fell down, I would be very happy too. Heipicai continued to climb up, walking more carefully. When he stepped on a certain board several times, some barnacles and rotten wood chips would fall down, but he was finally a relatively fierce person. He no longer slowed down, but gritted his teeth and crawled. up.Climbed into the hole at once. "What's in it?" Uncle Quan asked immediately. Heipicai scolded: "Why hurry, it's pitch black, you can't see anything." Then he lit a torch and shone inside. "What? Is there any gold?" Uncle Quan asked. Heipicai didn't answer, but walked straight in, and by the light of the torch, he went to the depths of the cabin in the cave. "Does this brat want to take it all by himself?" Uncle Quan was a little angry. I looked up and shook my head: "No, the boat is here, and it's useless if he wants to take it all by himself. It's no use if he has money but can't go back. And the boat is so big, he can't take it all by himself." "Then why the hell did he go? He was so scared just now." I was also surprised, looking at the top, there was only a little bit of fire left, and Uncle Quan called: "Ah Cai, don't play tricks, how can I send you a letter." As soon as he finished speaking, the flames lit up again, and Heipicai poked his head out and said, "I'll do it, this place is so fucking strange, come up quickly." Saying that, he threw something from above. The thing rolled down and turned all the way to us, and I saw that it turned out to be a hanging ladder. I saw that this hanging ladder was very familiar. I saw something similar on the Fucai, and Heipicai shouted: "This should be the last time Lord Jiao stayed here, and it is still very strong. , come up." I am certain in my heart, it seems that what I said to Master Jiao is good, there is no danger on the top, Uncle Quan started to climb immediately before I realized it, I was afraid that the hanging ladder would break, so I waited for him to climb into the cave before carrying it on his back. Adi climbed up. Even if it is a hanging ladder, it is much more powerful than a rope. I was exhausted by climbing more than ten meters. Uncle Quan and Heipicai ignored me at all. When I reached the hole with Adi on my back, I immediately Limp down. Looking into the hole, he could see Heipicai holding a torch and looking at something.The interior of the cabin is very spacious, but it is not as perfect as new as Jiao Ye said, and the entire cabin board is also very decayed.It presents a black color like Fuchang, even blacker than Fuchang. Inside the cabin, there are a lot of rotten wood chips. I don’t know what they were before they rotted. The wood chips have no shape at all. On the wooden wall, some barnacles even grow into the inner wall of the cabin, which looks more like some kind of huge sea beast. dead body. Looking back, I couldn't see the Fuchang under the thick fog. Brother Qi didn't know if he had woken up. I looked at Adi, and she didn't respond to the things in the cabin.He had no choice but to carry her on his back again, lit the torch, and walked towards Heipicai, wanting to see what he was looking at. When I walked to his side, I found that Uncle Quan was there, but I was just squatting on the ground, and I was surprised to see four ceramic bowls on the rotten wooden board. These are five brand new porcelain bowls, filled with some transparent liquid, whether it is wine or water, they are placed there smoothly.It seems to be waiting for our arrival. "What's going on here?" Uncle Quan asked, "Why isn't the water dry and it's still arranged so neatly?" "This bowl is too new." Hei Pi Cai said: "Look here, how could such a new thing appear here? Even if it is new, it has been covered with dust for so many years. It looks like it has just been poured. It’s the same as the one on board. I’ll do it, I’ll say it’s interesting, maybe there are people on board.” I got goosebumps from what Hei Picai said, and I looked around. The rotten wooden walls are full of holes, leading to other cabins. The inside is extremely deep, and there is a smell of rotten wood. This ship is very huge. , if there is someone inside, it is impossible to find it if you hide it, but how can there be someone.This ship has been floating on the sea for hundreds of years, and there are ghosts. "What's in this bowl?" Uncle Quan was still studying the five bowls. He leaned down and sniffed them: "It doesn't smell like wine. It looks like water. Could it be for us to drink?" going to get it. Caught by Hei Pi Cai: "Uncle, I'm afraid there may be fraud, so don't touch things you don't know." Then he asked me: "Little white face, did you mention this thing in what Master Jiao told you?" I shook my head, and Heipicai looked at the corridor behind the five bowls of water, and said, "It's strange, this boat is really haunting." "What should I do now?" I said, the fifteen-year deadline is very close, if I don't fulfill my wish before dawn, I don't know what will happen to Adi. "Jiao Lord said that he saw a palace-like ship tower on the deck, and the box came from there. There is nothing here, I guess they are all inside the palace." Heipicai and Uncle Quan glanced at each other, nodded respectively, and I said, "Then shall we go to the corridor behind this bowl? This bowl seems to guide us." Heipicai shook his head and said: "No. I don't dare to go this way, why not go this way." He pointed to the hole on the other side.To another hatch that was pitch black. "This breach is big, if there is any problem, we can escape quickly." I felt wrong in my heart, but Master Jiao said the process of boarding the boat was very simple, and they didn't encounter any danger. I thought that since the God of the Sea had brought us here, he would not harm us, otherwise there would be so many winds and waves. We're dead We're dead. Follow Heipicai and the others into the darkness, the four of us are together, although the wooden plank illuminated by the dim torch looks very strange, but there is still a strange force pushing us to go deep. The condition of each cabin is similar to that of the first one. The furnishings in some cabins have not been completely decayed, and the prosperity of the year can be vaguely seen, and traces of the murals of the year can still be seen on some walls. We walked step by step. How deep, it seems to have entered the core of the giant ship.In one room, I saw a staircase going up. The stairs spiral upwards, all of which are carved with patterns of Chinese grass. They go up so high that they seem to be able to reach the deck directly, and the top cannot be seen. We went up one after another cautiously, and finally reached the deck, and I was stunned immediately after setting up the torch. We can also feel the hugeness of the ship from below, but when we look at it from the deck, amidst the thick fog, we can only see a huge black shadow standing in the middle of the deck. Looking at the shadow, I knew it was a huge palace. Walking tremblingly to the front of the palace, I saw a row of brand-new glazed tile cornices, and the owl kisses towards the Fenglongtou town house flowed down along the cornices, and the faint light of the torches looked noble and compelling.A few of us stood below tremblingly, feeling like untouchables who were about to face holy. Hei Pi Cai was dumbfounded, the greed in his eyes was blown away, and he asked directly: "This... what is this place?" I saw a colonnade on one side of the wall. The colonnade stood on top of the stone slabs carved with dragons. It was the first time I saw such a structure. There were so many stone slabs embedded in the ship. How heavy should the ship be? Would the ship not sink?Between the pillars, there are huge bronze tripods. Everything is not decayed, it seems to be brand new, even the bronze tripods are golden. We walked along the colonnade, and soon came to a door, which was a black wooden door, with brass nipple nails all over the door, water droplets on the black wooden door in the thick fog, and the wooden door was closed , not even a single gap.The door is almost as high as the two of us, and the oppressive feeling of looking up gives people the illusion of suffocation. We stood at the door for a long time, feeling a little out of breath, Heipicai asked me: "Do you want to go in..." I swallowed, gritted my teeth and nodded. Heipicai said: "This time you go in first." I glanced at him, and he said, "Don't look at me, I won't force you." I sighed, so I had no choice but to put Adi down, and then took out the fish shuttle. There is basically no gap in the door. We just wanted to use the fish shuttle to pry it, but we only fiddled with it a few times, but found that the door was not locked at all. With just a push, the two doors swayed.Heipicai glanced at me, and he and I pushed the door tentatively, and there was a creaking sound, and the inside was brightly lit. The heartbeats of the three of us almost reached the limit, and I couldn't even feel the weight of Adi on my back. We moved closer to the crack of the door, because we couldn't open it any more with all our strength. Inside it's brightly lit. Several people filed, one by one, and finally squeezed through the door.
