Monk Xiao used a flashlight to shine back and forth inside. With this light, I could see some of the scenes that I couldn't see inside just now. The cabin on this floor seemed very empty, with only messy things in the corners.
There are a few tables and chairs, but other than that, there is no other decoration inside.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal inside, Monk Xiao was the first to walk in. A few of us followed, leaving only Hao Wenming standing guard. Monk Xiao focused on the wall, as if he was looking for something.
.But he searched all four walls with his flashlight and couldn't see what he was looking for. In the end, he had to give up.
Monk Xiao said in a low voice: "We don't even have an oil lamp or a candle. I don't know how long these batteries can last. It's so dark that if there is no more light, we will basically be five blind men." He
What he said made me a little surprised. I said to his back: "Master Xiao, you can't see it either? Your heavenly eyes are also covered?"
Monk Xiao stopped, looked back at me, and said, "Little Lazi, who told you that this is the Heavenly Eye being blocked?" Looking at my incomprehensible expression, he added, "This ghost ship has been blocked."
Restriction, as long as people like us get on the ship, the ability of the Sky Eye will gradually weaken a lot. As long as the restriction is broken, the ability of the Sky Eye will be revealed immediately."
If you knew earlier, why didn't you warn me in advance? I felt a little angry. Before I could speak again, Po Jun lowered his voice in my ear and said, "We encountered that restriction down there. Only when we saw the restriction did we understand what was going on.
.It’s a pity that I don’t have any tools in my hand, so I can’t seem to break it.”
Fatty Sun came over and said to Po Jun: "Dajun, besides this restriction, what else did you find down there? For example, gold and jade or something." Po Jun replied: "No, we were worried about your safety at that time.
We didn’t take a closer look down there. We took a quick look around and saw that you weren’t coming down, so we came up.”
As soon as Po Jun finished speaking, he saw Monk Xiao discovering something on the floor. When the flashlight shone on it, he saw a pale and withered human hand lying alone on the floor. It was on the deck that Fatty Sun cut off it, and then
The one he threw down.
But now it seems that this withered hand has been twisted and deformed, the flesh of the middle finger and ring finger have been torn, and the little finger and thumb have been broken in a weird direction. There are still a few teeth marks on the palm.
If they hadn't remembered that the shape of the incision was done by Fatty Sun, no one would have imagined that this severed hand would be mutilated like this.
Fatty Sun looked disgusted and turned his head to one side and shifted his gaze. Po Jun and I could still hold on and looked at the severed hand with Monk Xiao for a few times.
Monk Xiao walked over and took out a steel needle from the back of his waist that was as big and thick as a sweater needle. He picked up the severed hand, looked at it carefully with a flashlight and said, "Break the claw like this."
,How big a hatred is this? Huh?...What is this above?"
What Monk Xiao was referring to was that there was a small black stone stuck to the wound of the severed hand. The small stone was about the size of a soybean, and when illuminated by a flashlight it was dark and shiny.
Holding it in his hand, he frowned for a while while looking at it. After a while, he hesitated and said: "This is...a tooth?"
"Old Master Xiao, are you deceived?" I shifted my gaze from the black pebbles to Monk Xiao's face and said, "Could this be a tooth? The color is wrong, let alone the shape. It's not flat or pointed.
Yes, can a tooth be round?" After saying this, he pointed to the slightly pointed part of the pebble and said: "It doesn't even have a tooth root, how can it be a tooth?"
After I said this, Monk Xiao still shook his head. He seemed to have some impression of this 'tooth', but he couldn't remember the details. This black tooth seemed to be related to something. The answer was almost on his lips, but it was
He couldn't tell. After hesitating for a while, he shouted to Hao Wenming: "Xiao Hao, come here and see, what is this?"
When Director Hao walked up and saw the pebble, he also muttered. Hao Wenming put the pebble in his hand and looked at it for a long time by the flashlight. Then he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Consultant Xiao, you
You're right, these are black teeth, the teeth of evil."
"Nie... Teeth" Monk Xiao murmured: "I used to think this thing was made up." As he said that, he frowned and glanced at Hao Wenming: "Xiao Hao, it's not necessarily Nie Teeth.
?" Hao Wenming replied: "Whether it is a bad tooth, you will know after trying it."
Fatty Sun poked Po Jun with his elbow and asked, "Da Jun, what is Nie?" Po Jun looked confused, shook his head and said, "Nie Teeth...I haven't heard of it either."
Over there, Hao Wenming took the black pebbles and walked to the bottom of the ceiling hole. He placed the pebbles on the ground facing the moonlight. There was nothing unusual at first, but after five or six seconds, there was a sudden burst of black pebbles.
There was a slight shaking, and then the shaking became larger and larger. After another five or six seconds, the pebble started rolling slowly, until it rolled into the darkness where the moonlight could not cover it, and then gradually became quiet.
"The teeth are as black as pearls and avoid the light of yin and yang. I'm not saying it, but ninety-nine percent of them are evil teeth." Hao Wenming said and picked up the evil teeth from the ground. He didn't even look at them. He couldn't avoid it as much as possible, so he returned them directly.
Gave it to Monk Xiao. Now that he knew that this small black pebble was the evil tooth, Monk Xiao’s wrinkles became tighter instead of the black pebble. Looking at the posture, if Hao Wenming hadn’t handed the evil tooth in front of his eyes, Monk Xiao would not have even planned to take it back.
.
Fatty Sun walked up to Hao Wenming and said, "Hao Tou, what kind of evil are you and Master Xiao talking about? It doesn't look like a good thing, right?" At this time, Po Jun and I also came over,
I stoked the fire and said to Hao Wenming: "Hao Tou, please give me some popular science. What is evil?"
Before Hao Wenming spoke, he glanced at Monk Xiao and saw that he had no objection, so he started to talk about what he knew about evil places.
There is very little information about evil in the polling bureau, and there is still debate as to whether such a 'creature' exists. There are only two pieces of information about 'evil' in the reference room, and they are basically based on unofficial history.
.
One is a record in April of the second year of Yuanding, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. There was a severe drought at that time, and there was no harvest in Yao County in the Guanzhong area. More than 30 people in the county abandoned the county to avoid the disaster.
When they were in the mountains, they discovered a black wild horse. Everyone was hungry and anxious, so they shot the black horse with bows and arrows. Unexpectedly, before dying, the black horse uttered human words and only said one word: "Evil!"
At that time, the people were so hungry that they lost their minds. Even the recently deceased people began to eat the pot. Not to mention the horses that could speak human language. However, when cutting the horse meat, another unusual thing was discovered. This
The bones and teeth of a wild horse are actually black.
Among the victims, there was a Taoist priest who had returned to secular life. Seeing this vision, he dared not eat horse meat anymore, but secretly hid a black horse tooth. At that time, he was worried that the meat was not enough. No one cared about him. One horse.
The tall horse and its internal organs were eaten clean by more than thirty victims.
Something happened to the victims who ate horse meat. Some people were laughing at the Taoist priest who dared not eat horse meat. But an hour later, at the same time, all the people who ate horse meat began to melt, just like one by one.
Like a melted snowman, the skin, muscles, bones and even hair began to melt at an extremely fast speed.
The scene at that time was like a picture of purgatory on earth. These people who began to melt did not die immediately. Instead, they watched their skin, flesh and bones turn into pools of blood. After being tortured, they 'slowly'
He died. The only Taoist priest who had not eaten horse meat was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
After a long time passed, the Taoist priest who returned to secular life finally woke up. Looking at the sight of clothes all over the floor was like a dream. Not to mention the dead people, even the pools of blood had disappeared without a trace.
I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, but I remembered that I had collected a black horse tooth. When I took it out and looked at it, the horse tooth seemed to be alive when it was illuminated by the sun. It rolled down from the hands of the secular Taoist priest and kept rolling.
Get to the shade where you are not exposed to direct sunlight.
After that, this man entered Taoism again and became a Taoist priest. He sat as a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple. From time to time, he told his followers about that incident as a warning story to the world. If anyone didn't believe it, he
He took out the black horse tooth and showed it to others as evidence. Five years later, the horse tooth disappeared for no reason. A month later, the Taoist priest also died suddenly. When he died, he shouted one word, "Evil!" The Taoist priest
Before he died, his whole body turned black, and even his teeth and pupils became like coal. It’s just that his teeth no longer had the ability of the horse teeth to avoid the light of the sun and the moon.
Another record is similar to this, and the time is also similar. It happened during Wang Mang's new dynasty. At the end of the new dynasty, the Red Eyebrow and Green Forest Army revolted one after another. There was a leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, Xiang Xia, who was shot and killed during a hunting trip.
Xiang Xia picked up a black fox. Because black fox fur was rare and unheard of in the world at that time, Xiang Xia peeled the fox skin and made it into a collar. While peeling the skin, she also found the fox's black bones and teeth. But what exactly is Xiang Xia?
Xingwu was born, and he didn't care about it at the moment. It was only when he was wearing this fox collar that strange things started to happen.
The first time Xiang Xia put on the fox collar, he heard someone whispering in his ear, mumbling just one word over and over again: "Evil, evil, evil..." This voice sounded as soon as he put on the fox collar, and as soon as he took it off.
The voice of the collar disappeared. Only then did Xiang Xia become frightened and set fire to the fox collar. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Xiang Xia heard someone shout in his ear again for no reason: "Evil, evil, evil, evil."
…”
Xiang Xia was shocked and began to regret killing and skinning the fox that day. Unfortunately, it was too late. A few days later, during a decisive battle between Xiang Xia's Red Eyebrow Army and Liu Xiu Army in Yiyang, Xiang Xia was killed. According to his soldiers later
It is said that Xiang Xia was killed by a fox-faced soldier. Xiang Xia shouted "Evil!" when she died. The fox-faced soldier also shouted "Evil!" after killing Xiang Xia. He shouted
At that time, a mouth of black teeth was exposed.
These are the only two incidents about evil, and they both occurred during the Western Han Dynasty. There are no similar records of events in the following two thousand years, including unofficial history. Almost everyone in the polling bureau believes that the things about evil were all fabricated at that time.
Stories about ghosts and gods. No one took it seriously. I didn’t expect that a few of us would encounter it on a ghost ship.
After Fatty Sun heard what Hao Wenming said, he blinked, tilted his head and thought for a while, then said to Hao Wenming: "Hao Tou, you still haven't made it clear. Is this Nie a horse or a fox? Or is it a horse that Nie turned into?
Or is it a fox?" Hao Wenming sighed and said: "These are the only two records about Nie. If it weren't for the description of Nie's teeth, I wouldn't have recognized it as Nie's teeth."
Fatty Sun didn't hear a satisfactory answer, so he turned his attention to Monk Xiao again. He walked up to Monk Xiao in a few steps and said, "Old Master Xiao, do you see anything?" Monk Xiao was looking at his hands.
Nie Chi was in a daze, and when he heard Fatty Sun ask him, he handed Nie Chi into Fatty Sun's hands: "See for yourself."
When Fatty Sun took Nie Chi, the money rat in his pocket suddenly let out a strange cry and jumped out of Fatty Sun's pocket, all the way to Fatty Sun's hand. It grabbed Nie Chi with one paw and used the remaining
He ran to Monk Xiao with his three paws and threw the dark tooth onto Monk Xiao's feet.
Monk Xiao grinned when he saw it, and just as he was about to curse a few words, he suddenly heard a voice from the ceiling: "Evil!" This word scared all of us to tremble, and Monk Xiao immediately flashed his flashlight.
When I hit it, I saw a dark cat head protruding from the edge of the hole in the ceiling. The evil creature just came out of its mouth. When the flashlight shined on its face, there was nothing strange about this cat, but when it opened its mouth
When the mouth licks the tongue, a pair of small black teeth are exposed...
A few of us below the cabin were stunned. Fatty Sun raised his head and murmured: "It's missing a tooth..." When he said this, the black cat above turned around and disappeared from the ceiling.
. Immediately afterwards, there was a "swish" sound on the ceiling, and the gap in the ceiling was sealed by an object similar to a wooden board.
Hao Wenming reacted the fastest. As soon as the ceiling was sealed, he shouted: "Get out, hurry up! Get out!" Unfortunately, what he said was too late. Before we could run out a few steps, he shouted
I heard a "swish" sound from the direction of the exit. The exit leading to the stairs in front could still see some moonlight, but with this sound, it turned into darkness again, and the passage out was also blocked.
Fortunately, Monk Xiao still had a flashlight in his hand. With this light, the few of us could not see anything in this cabin.
With the light of Monk Xiao's flashlight, I saw clearly that the thing sealing the entrance of the cave was a cast iron plate. Monk Xiao came over and knocked on the iron plate with his hand, and the iron plate made a dull sound. He kept frowning after hearing it.
Frowning, after thinking for a while, he turned to me and said, "Lazi, is there any other way out?
"This is the road, but I went out from above just now." I pointed to the spot on the ceiling where the hole used to be.
"Consultant Xiao, please light it up. I'll go up and have a look." Over there, Hao Wenming had already led Po Jun to the place underneath the cave. Director Hao stepped on Po Jun's shoulder and touched an extra piece of wood on the ceiling.
"It's also an iron plate!" As he said, Hao Wenming tried to push it up, but the iron plate didn't move at all. He let Po Jun hold him up and tried other positions on the ceiling. After pulling out a few wooden boards, Hao Wenming said
"The upper floor is made of iron plates." After saying this, he reached out and knocked on the iron plate, and a dull sound came from it. Just listening to the sound, it was almost exactly the same as the sound made by Monk Xiao just now.
"Great Sage, let me use Wu Rendi's dagger." When Hao Wenming said this, Fatty Sun didn't hesitate. He immediately went over and handed the dagger to Po Jun, who then passed it to the dagger on his shoulder.
Hao Wenming. At this time, Po Jun suddenly reacted and said: "Great Sage, didn't you say that the dagger was passed down from your family's ancestors? Why is Director Wu Rendi involved again?"
Unexpectedly, Hao Wenming recognized that the dagger belonged to Wu Rendi. However, Fatty Sun's reaction was still very fast. After a slight hesitation, he already thought of the explanation: "I am the first generation, starting from my generation. The army
, don’t talk nonsense, stand firm and be careful with your head.”
While Fatty Sun was talking nonsense, Hao Wenming had already jumped off Po Jun's shoulder. After returning the dagger to Fatty Sun, he said to Monk Xiao: "There is something weird about the iron plate. The dagger can only penetrate a few inches."
I can't move. Consultant Xiao, I'm not telling you to find another way out."
After listening to Hao Wenming's words, I also gave up the idea of drawing a dagger and scratching a few times on the iron plate at the door. After that, I searched repeatedly in the cabin for more than half an hour and found that there were iron plates even under the floor.
, I searched for a while but still couldn’t find any other exit.
"Old Master Xiao, Hao Tou, wandering around like this is not an option." Fatty Sun was the first to give up. He leaned against the corner and said, "Looking at the purpose of this cabin, it seems to be used to imprison people. We can't get out.
'People' can't get in either. I'm not saying, just let it be, let's just wait two days for Director Gao to bring his people over and destroy the ghost ship. It's not too late for the rest of us to go out."
"You want to be beautiful?" Monk Xiao snorted and said, "I'm afraid we can't wait until Fatty Gao brings people to rescue us. This boat has been drifting on the sea for more than six hundred years. From the Qintian Prison in the Ming Dynasty
From Yuxuan Si to Jia Shifang, the real person of Tongxuan in the Qing Dynasty, and to the Religious Affairs Committee during the Republic of China, they all wanted to come up to this ghost ship to find out what happened. It has been six hundred years and no one from them has come up. Do you think there is a satellite?
Positioning, will Fatty Gao and the others be able to find this place accurately?"
I heard some clues from Monk Xiao's words and asked him: "Old Master Xiao, so many people are thinking about this ship. What is on this ship? Don't say you don't know."
"Who do you think I am?" Monk Xiao took a deep breath and continued: "To tell you the truth, the information about this ghost ship is all in the fourth underground floor of the polling bureau. Only Fatty Gao has the authority to do so in the entire polling bureau.
Read through. If you want to know what treasures are on this boat, just ask him directly!"
"You'll know what's on the ship as soon as you get out," Hao Wenming said. "Consultant Xiao is right. Even with GPS positioning, Director Gao and the others may not be able to find us. I'm not telling you. If you don't think about it, the battery of your mobile phone is still there."
How many days can it last? When the battery runs out and even the GPS is gone, what will we do then?"
After hearing this, Fatty Sun got a little excited. He put his hands on the ground and stood up from the ground. Because his movements were too large, the floor under his feet made a "creak" sound. Listening to this sound, I felt in my heart
As soon as he moved, he reacted instantly and shouted to Fatty Sun: "Great Sage, stand there and don't move!"
Even Hao Wenming, Monk Xiao and Po Jun were alarmed by my voice. Monk Xiao said: "Little Lazi, what's wrong? What did you find?" While speaking, these three people had already walked to Fatty Sun.
Next to me, Fatty Sun looked at me in a daze: "Lazi, why are you so crazy? You scared me."
I ignored him, walked over and squatted next to Fatty Sun, and tapped the floor with my fingers. There was a hollow sound from under the floor. The floor under Fatty Sun's feet was empty. I had tried other floors before, and there was nothing underneath.
It was an iron plate. I didn't expect that Fatty Sun's feet would be our hope to get out.
"It's empty under the floor." Fatty Sun also reacted and squatted on the ground with me. He pulled out his 'family' dagger and held it in his backhand. He inserted the tip of the sword into the floor and moved it downwards.
As soon as he sent it, he inserted the entire sword blade into the floor. Then he drew a square square on the floor with the dagger the size of a football. With a light tap of his hand, he knocked down the wooden block inside the square.
.revealing the scene under the floor.
After the hole was opened, a faint light emerged from under the floor. Looking from here, the lower floor should be the place where Hao Wenming, Monk Xiao and Po Jun came down before. After the three of them saw the scene below clearly
, confirmed my idea, Po Jun first said: "That's right, the floor we went to before is downstairs."
