Fatty Sun, with his sharp ears, heard Hao Wenming's words and came over and said, "gentian...Hao Tou, do you think this is dragon's gallbladder?"
"You can think of it as dragon gallbladder, but strictly speaking, it is more appropriate to call it dragon heart stone." Hao Wenming glanced at the ghost-gentleman that Fatty Sun was playing with, sighed, and then said:
"Have you heard of the nine kinds of dragons? Legend has it that ghost is the heart stone of one of the dragons."
Fatty Sun's mouth opened wide when he heard this: "I didn't say that, Hao Tou, dragon species... are you kidding me?
Hao Wen understood him. He no longer forced Fatty Sun to stop using the "I didn't say that" mantra. He just wanted to express his dissatisfaction symbolically sometimes.
Hao Wenming said bitterly: "Legend, do you understand the legend? Just like you just said that your rat is the boss of the twelve zodiac signs." After glaring at Fatty Sun, he continued: "But this legend has nothing to do with your rat."
The legends are still different. There are written records in Ceylon. It is said that hundreds of years ago during the Yuan Dynasty, an unnamed monster corpse appeared on the sea of Ceylon. At that time, Ceylon was suffering from famine.
The corpse of the monster had not yet decayed, and because of its huge size, it was used to provide disaster relief.
When the monster was disemboweled, a stone the size of a lychee was found hanging above its heart. Someone had a good idea and collected the stone. After a while, a Chinese businessman heard about the monster when he was doing business in Ceylon. According to
People at the scene described the appearance of the monster, and the Chinese businessman concluded that what they were eating was dragon gluttonous food.
The customs in Ceylon are different from those in China. Eating a foreign mythical beast is not a big deal. It's just that some people who had good intentions showed off and took out the stone from the monster's heart to show it to the Chinese businessmen. Unexpectedly, the Chinese businessmen saw it.
As if I had found a treasure, I spent a lot of money to buy this stone. I even gave the stone a name, Gentian."
"They're all named Gentian, so what's going on with the ghost?" Fatty Sun interjected.
"I didn't say that, you will understand when I finish what I said." Hao Wenming continued: "After the Chinese businessman got the gentian, he was so excited that he suffered a stroke that night and died the next morning.
, when he was about to transport his body to the ship and take him back to China, suddenly a drought lightning struck the gentian he had placed inside his sleeve on the way.
No one expected that the Chinese businessman would come back to life after being struck by lightning, only to split the piece of gentian into four pieces. When the King of Ceylon found out, he found the resurrected Chinese businessman and half robbed and half bought it.
got gentian. Perhaps because the Ceylonese word for gentian sounded unpleasant, the king gave it another Ceylonese name, called ghost. Ghost is just a homophone, and when translated into Ceylonese, it means rebirth. That is,
"Recycled Stone"
After listening, I was still very curious: "Hao Tou, what about the dragon species? Is it true?"
Before Hao Wenming spoke, Monk Xiao spoke up: "If I were you, I would first look at what is in front of you."
I looked back at Monk Xiao and saw that he had a gloomy face and was looking motionlessly in the direction of the deck. I followed his gaze. I don’t know when a gate opened on the deck leading to the cabin below. This
The gate opened so silently that I didn't notice it at all.
Monk Xiao raised his chin in the direction of the gate with an expressionless expression, and said: "The ghost ship is open, and it is letting us in." As he said that, he glanced at the money rat on Fatty Sun's shoulder and said: "Except for the gentian
, there’s something else down there…”
Fatty Sun glanced at Monk Xiao and said, "Old Master Xiao, don't fool me into going in. Whoever wants to go in can go in. Anyway, I'm wasting my time on this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the money rat suddenly jumped out of his body and rushed into the gate like a gust of wind.
The corners of Monk Xiao's mouth curled up, and he looked at Fatty Sun with a half-smile but said, "What about now?..."
Fatty Sun's face was a little bitter. He hesitated for a long time while looking at the direction of the gate. I thought that Fatty Sun was reluctant to part with the money rat and was determined to go down the gate to find it. Unexpectedly, Fatty Sun turned his head and faced Xiao
The monk said: "Old Master Xiao, how about... you go down and take a look? Then what... we will wait for you up there."
Monk Xiao was still looking at him with a smile, but when Fatty Sun finished speaking, Monk Xiao's face turned red. Seeing Fatty Sun breathing heavily, he went over and grabbed the collar of his clothes, and moved him from side to side.
He said, "Say it again! I'm almost seventy, do you have the nerve to let me go down by myself?"
Fatty Sun didn't dare to look at Monk Xiao. He lowered his head and said, "I didn't tell you to go down by yourself... wasn't there Hao Tou?" "Get out of here!" Hao Wenming kicked Fatty Sun angrily from behind.
foot.
Just as Monk Xiao was about to go over and mend Fatty Sun's feet, Cai Shu's sharp screams of "Hey...!" suddenly came from the cabin under the gate. Cai Shu seemed to be strangled by something.
, has become angry.
"I x!" Fatty Sun cursed, and his originally playful and smiling expression instantly turned ferocious. He rushed to the gate in a sprint. I was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so I followed closely behind Fatty Sun. Just when I thought he was going to
When he jumped into the gate, he didn't expect that just two or three meters away from the gate, Fatty Sun suddenly stood up, jumped up, jumped high, and fell hard.
With a sound of "Boom!", Fatty Sun punched a big hole in the six-hundred-year-old deck. He jumped directly into the cabin. Since I was too close to Fatty Sun, and I didn't expect him to do this,
I fell into the hole behind Fatty Sun.
Fortunately, I had several years of experience in the special forces. When I landed on the ground, I kicked my feet and took a few steps forward to avoid falling. It was so dark that I couldn't tell the direction. I landed before me.
Fatty Sun actually disappeared in just a few seconds.
There was no time to look for Fatty Sun. Through the moonlight above my head and through the gate in front of me, I saw a man in a black robe standing at the stairs of the gate. Only half of his body was exposed in the moonlight.
, although the distance is not far, I still can’t see clearly the appearance of this person.
I suddenly felt nervous. Ever since I entered the Water Curtain Cave in the Dead Man's Pool in Yunnan, I had not been able to see clearly in the dark. The more I tried to see the person's face clearly, the blurrier the person's face became.
.At the end, even his body in the moonlight began to blur.
Although he couldn't see the face of the man in black clearly, he could clearly see the squeaking and struggling money rat in his hand. The fat behind the big rat was caught in the hand of the man in black.
His limbs were in the air and he was struggling in vain.
"La Zi, Monkey King, are you two okay?" "Little La Zi, give way and don't hit you!" The shouts of Hao Wenming and others came from above my head. It sounded like they wanted to jump from above.
Come down.
"Don't come down!" I shouted to the top. The man in black in front of me made me a little panicked. Plus, the surroundings were shrouded in darkness. Even my eyes couldn't distinguish the surrounding scenery. Even if there were just a few of them,
You may not be able to take advantage by coming down. It’s better to stay up there and be a support person.
"Lazi, why are you the only one? Where is the Great Sage?" Po Jun shouted from above. From their angle, it seemed that they could only see my side and could not see the man in black under the gate.
"He's fine! He can't die!" I replied angrily. Although Fatty Sun's ability to predict danger is not as good as mine, his ability to predict danger is much better than mine. He almost fell down at the same time as me. In the blink of an eye,
With a little effort, he can hide it, which is considered his skill.
The man in black in front of me seemed not to have seen me. He still maintained the posture I saw him in when I fell down. If his hand holding the money rat hadn't changed slightly occasionally, I would have thought he was a dummy carved from wood and stone.
.
He didn't move, and I didn't dare to move. Although I couldn't see the face of the man in black clearly. But judging from the angle he was standing, he should be face to face with me. But the longer I stood opposite him, my psychological state became more and more complicated.
There is no bottom.
Time passed by second by second, and my shirt was soaked with sweat. Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the man in black not far away: "Who are you?" After a pause, and then
Another way of saying it: "Are you... a human being?"
"Am I a human?... I even forgot, am I a human or a ghost?" The man in black finally spoke, his tone was a bit cold, and he spoke unusually slowly, as if he really couldn't figure out who he was.
Is it a human or a ghost.
After a pause for a few seconds, the man in black picked up the money rat and said to me: "He stole my things, hand them over."
It's Gentian! I understood what he was talking about, and I was cursing secretly in my heart. The treasure brought out by Money Rat belongs to Fatty Sun, but leave the blame and accusation to me.
"What?" I said, pretending to be stupid. Just as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of breaking wind in the darkness. The figure of the man in black swayed in my sight for a moment, but he immediately
It returned to normal. Then, a familiar scream sounded not far from me: "Ah..."
Fatty Sun appeared from the dark corner. He stared in the direction of the man in black and limped closer to me. When he walked next to me, he saw through the moonlight that he was still holding Wu Rendi's hand tightly in his right hand.
A small crossbow. His left hand was covering his buttocks, which was covered with blood, and a small crossbow arrow was stuck in it.
Fatty Sun had been hiding in a dark corner just now. When the man in black was talking to me, he thought the man in black was distracted, so he gave him a crossbow arrow. Unexpectedly, the man in black did not know what method he used.
He actually changed the trajectory of the crossbow arrow that was shot at him, flew back and hit his butt.
At this time, the man in black took a step forward, and his whole body was exposed to the moonlight. I saw his face clearly. It was better not to look at it, but at a glance, my heart almost stopped for two seconds. He
There is a particularly eye-catching mark, that white hair like snow...
Wu Rendi...my first reaction was him. But after seeing the appearance of the man in black clothes and white hair, I can still see the difference between him and Wu Rendi. Apart from their appearance, both of them have cold expressions. However,
Wu Rendi never looked at people, his eyes were always on the top of his head.
The eyes of this man in black clothes and white hair were terrifyingly cold. When I made contact with his eyes, I actually felt as if I was in an ice cellar. I had to hold my nerve to not avoid his eyes. But Fatty Sun's behavior was a bit strange.
To my surprise, he looked at this man in black and white hair coldly, as if he didn't feel the cold pressure he brought at all.
After Cai Shu saw Fatty Sun appear, he struggled more and more frequently, and kept shouting "Zhizhi" at Fatty Sun. The man in black clothes and white hair was a little impatient, and he increased the strength of his hand.
I heard the money rat make a strange cry, and then its limbs twitched and stopped moving.
Fatty Sun's eyes widened at that moment, and he limped forward to rush over to fight for his life. I took one step forward and grabbed him, and said three words in a very low voice into Fatty Sun's ear: "It's pretending to be dead."
.In the eyes of ordinary people, the Money Rat is just a dead rat. But I can see with my clairvoyance that its soul has not left the body. It is also very strong.
"Pretending to be dead?" The man in black with white hair shook the Fortune Rat's tail back and forth a few times. The Rat's big head was swinging back and forth with the frequency of the man in black and white hair. It looked like a
There is no difference between a dead rat. Unfortunately, the man in black clothes and white hair who caught it didn't think so.
The man in black clothes and white hair raised his mouth slightly, stretched out his other hand and flicked Cai Shu's big belly. Cai Shu's whole body trembled as if it was electrified. It didn't even bother to pretend to be dead at the moment, with four paws
He kicked around in the air and screamed "ZhiZhiZhi" in his mouth.
Fatty Sun couldn't stand it anymore, and he said: "Are you as knowledgeable as a mouse? Let it go, and come at us if you can..." As he said, he handed the small crossbow to me: "
Lazi, give it to him!"
I cursed in my heart that this fat man is not a toy. I don’t know how your butt was injured. Even if I hit him more accurately, the crossbow arrow couldn’t get close to the man in black clothes and white hair.
An arrow like this is going to hit my body. I'm afraid I'll be unlucky and get hit in a vital part, and I'll have to pay for it in this life.
But I still took the crossbow over. It was rare for Fatty Sun to be so generous. He didn't want it for free. After loosening the bow string, he pinned it on my lower back. Then he showed the dagger that my third uncle gave me. But just
Judging from the current situation, I showed the dagger just to embolden myself.
Unexpectedly, when I showed the dagger, the man in black with white hair narrowed his eyes, and he took a step back unconsciously. Fatty Sun's sharp eyes saw the advantage, and he also showed Wu Rendi's dagger.
