Chapter 263 Ghost Ship
Xun Xi naturally heard the conversation between the rain master and the surviving man, and was very interested in the ghost ship mentioned by the surviving man.
Larger than a modern cruise ship, it was still a wooden ship.
Combining the two, Xun Xi couldn't help but think of the Penglai ship in the memory of the mourning girl. The big ship full of supernatural beings finally disappeared into the East China Sea. It did not bring back the legendary elixir as the emperor of the Great Unification era thought, and then disappeared.
And speaking of the era of great unification.
If compared to the earth, there is no doubt that it was the Qin and Han Dynasties. And the emperor who unified Yanzhou naturally corresponded to Qin Shihuang.
And the interesting thing is.
In the era of great unification, the first dynasty in the history of Yanzhou was named "Zhen".
To Qin is Zhen.
Xun Xi didn't know if this was a correspondence between the two worlds, but in any case, many things could be explained from a supernatural perspective.
In the era of great unification, books were burned and Confucians were harassed, and alchemists were massacred. Could the purpose be the same as that of the Corpse Immortal, to eradicate those last-generation extraordinary beings and cut off the path for humans to feed ghosts and advance to the last generation? And the Penglai building ship, is it an act of exiling supernatural beings in Yanzhou?
After all, Xun Xi asked himself.
If it were him, he would definitely find a way to throw the horrors and supernatural beings that Yanzhou couldn't deal with abroad. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will not die of a poor Taoist.
Think about it in this regard.
The route of the ghost ship described by the surviving man is very interesting. Because it floats on the high seas, not Yanzhou's territorial waters.
That's why Xun Xi took the initiative to ask. After the experience just now, the survivors looked at Xun Xi as if they were a god, and replied with trepidation on the spot: "It was a night, near early morning, the sea suddenly became foggy, and then the ship appeared. ”
Xun Xi asked: "What night?"
"July 29th." The surviving man said: "It was still dark at the time, but I wanted to watch the sunrise, so I climbed onto the deck secretly."
"Then I saw the ship."
"It drove right past our boat."
"Describe it in detail. Does it have a flag? Are there people on board? How big is it specifically? Are there any obvious features? Such as text?"
"this."
Facing Xun Xi's series of questions, the surviving man was stunned, and then continued: "I didn't see anyone, but the ship was really big, many times bigger than our cruise ship! I also read the flag of the ship. It’s here, it’s black, yes! There are two words carved on the bow.”
"Are they these two?"
Upon seeing this, Xun Xi took out a pen and paper, and then based on the memory of the mourning girl, he wrote the ancient text "Peng Lai" and placed it in front of the surviving man.
"Yes, yes!" The man nodded quickly.
This is a real deal.
The ghost ship encountered by this cruise ship is indeed the Penglai Tower ship that set off from the East China Sea thousands of years ago in search of the elixir, but ended up with no trace of it!
"correct."
At this point, the surviving man suddenly said: "In fact, the ghost ship stayed beside our ship for about ten minutes before setting off. After they left, four sailors disappeared that morning. , so I thought it must be causing trouble."
"No one believed me."
The surviving man sighed after hearing this, and then rubbed his eyes. He must have not slept for a long time, and his eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes.
So do the other survivors.
At the same time, the rescue team also arrived. Out of caution, Xun Xi finally used the memory fire to copy a copy of the surviving man's memory, and left a fire in his mind so that he could be found at any time, and then let them go and accepted the rescue of the rescue team. .
Then, he looked at the Rain Master again.
"Did you find anything?"
"Yes!" When Xun Xi asked, Master Yu subconsciously stood up straight, and then said seriously: "Well, actually, I didn't find any clues at all."
"Most of the people on board were dead."
"But I can't find the source."
"And there were too many rotting corpses and skeletons. I couldn't kill them all. In the end, I had to lock them at the bottom of the cabin and escape to the deck with the survivors. Fortunately, those monsters didn't seem to have special supernatural powers. As long as they were locked up, passage, they would have no way to get to the deck."
"Fine."
Xun Xi nodded, and then waved his hand: "I will be responsible for this matter from now on, thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good sleep."
The rain master bowed and left.
Xun Xi, on the other hand, teleported directly to the deck of the cruise ship, found the person in charge of the rescue team, and ordered: "Don't let everyone enter the cabin for the time being. There may be some disgusting monsters inside. Just search the deck for the time being. Okay, I'll handle the rest."
Xun Xi finished speaking.
"Report to the captain!" Along with the voice coming from not far away, only three or four uniformed rescue team members were seen walking over happily.
And on their shoulders, they were carrying a rotting corpse.
"The first survivor found!"
"There are a lot of people right at the passage leading to the deck! As soon as we opened the passage, they rushed out. We need to expand the medical bay."
Xun Xi: "???"
Looking past the members of the rescue team, Xun Xi saw the open deck passage, and at the same time he saw the corpses and skeletons rushing out of it. However, the members of the rescue team were completely unaware of it, and they were all kind to each other. The ground supported the corpses and skeletons.
more importantly.
As time went by, the members of the rescue team who had rescued them began to shed flesh and blood, showing a ferocious and terrifying appearance.
"Everyone let go!"
Without any hesitation, Xun Xi directly turned over the supernatural poker, and all the monsters were moved to one side of the deck, while the others fell on the other side.
"what happened?"
"It's the commissioner of Jingsi. What problem did he find?"
"have no idea"
Xun Xi's actions aroused many people's doubts, but what made Xun Xi's pupils shrink suddenly was that those members of the rescue team were the only ones who had directly eliminated the monster. Even the head of the rescue team next to him was looking at him with an expression of "What happened?"
".Can't you all see it?"
Xun Xi frowned and whispered: "Those are all corpses and skeletons, monsters. And you almost became such monsters."
"Ah?" Many people looked confused.
Didn't even notice?
Seeing this, Xun Xi looked at the members of the rescue team who had just come into direct contact with the corpses, so much so that their flesh and blood began to fall off without knowing it, and continued: "No matter what, you all need treatment. I can do it for you. After all, the current supernatural influence is not that serious.”
".!?"
Xun Xi's voice stopped suddenly.
Because right under his nose, the members of the rescue team, whose flesh and blood had begun to fall off, actually returned to their original state step by step.
A few blinks of an eye.
They changed back to their original appearance, as if the supernatural influence just now did not exist. But just now, they were indeed affected.
what happened! ?
Thinking of this, suddenly, a terrifying suspicion emerged in Xun Xi's mind: What he saw were rotten corpses and skeletons. Others see ordinary people. And if the person you saw wrong is actually you and not others, then the survivors you just saw in your eyes
"Oops!"
Xun Xi suddenly turned back and looked at the rescue team camp where the Rain Master and the group of survivors just went.
The next second-——
"ah!!!"
Xun Xi heard a shrill scream.
