Chapter 276 Mysterious Pendant

For someone as knowledgeable as my master, it is not easy to give the evaluation of "interesting" by the word "interesting".

I don't have the knowledge of my master, so naturally I can't reach the level of being calm when facing a collapse of Mount Tai. When this song falls into my ears, its power is no less than a tsunami.

According to the meaning of this song, there is a lost country under the deep sea of ​​District 17?

But as far as we know, it is the legendary Penglai Mountain!

There is no legend or ancient record showing that there is an ancient country on the top of Penglai Mountain.

This is an information asymmetry, the discrepancy is too big, and it completely subverts our cognition.

Furthermore, the song was sung by the mermaids, and it could affect parasites like Yin Chi and make them remember it deeply. This is enough to show that this song should be often sung by the mermaids, and they almost regard this song as sacred in their hearts. This shows that the mermaids in District 17 seem to be... related to this so-called ancient country. This kind of sad tone seems to be the remnants of this ancient country.

Could it be that this so-called ancient country is actually a mermaid country?

This absurd idea just popped up and was immediately extinguished by me. Although the sea has always been a mysterious forbidden area for humans, and there are rumors that many mysterious ancient countries have appeared here, such as Atlantis, I still instinctively reject things like the mermaid country.

Also, this song is full of hope, as if this dusty ancient country will appear one day. What kind of secrets are hidden in it?

Was Guo Xun's theft of Yang Yuhuan's body and his journey to Penglai related to this?

There are too many questions.

Looking at the whole song, if we say that the most shocking thing is not the sentence "give you everything"!

I almost immediately thought that this was related to the appearance of the big weirdness in District 17.

The Hai Gang summarized all the cases that had happened in District 17 in the past, and speculated that the big weirdness in District 17 might be related to some unconscious behavior of the crew on the ship, and this behavior is what most crew members often do. It is this behavior that stimulates the unknown and causes the big weirdness.

So, did the crew give something?

I guess 80% yes! !

At least, from the meaning of the song, it should be that if you make some kind of sacrifice, you will be accepted by this so-called dusty ancient country, and the mermaids will appear and give eternal glory.

What is eternity?

Living is a snap of the fingers, and death is eternity.

The so-called gift of the mermaids should be a violent massacre! !

But then again, what did the crew give? !

We were not quite sure about this, so I pulled the old one-eyed man to ask if the sea gang's crew would perform some kind of sacrifice at sea? Or, for some kind of inheritance or custom, would they throw something into the sea?

The old one-eyed man seemed a little sluggish and dull, probably a little at a loss, and looked at each other with the one-legged man. Both of them thought hard for a long time, and shook their heads together.

"Impossible, there won't be such a situation."

The old one-eyed man said: "Most of our ordinary sea gang members know some martial arts, and the more advanced skills are in the control of the headquarters. For example, we don't know how to sacrifice, so how can we sacrifice for no reason? So the situation you mentioned is impossible to happen. I once met a big shot in the headquarters and followed him to do things. He also told me that sacrifices have very specific purposes and are generally not carried out casually.

As for what you said, we will throw some things into the sea out of some tradition, which is even more impossible. As the saying goes, you live by the mountain and eat the mountain, you live by the sea and eat the sea. We have been eating this sea for generations, and we know how to protect and respect the sea better than others. Throwing things casually is pollution. What's the difference between this and fishing with a gauze net? Once the net is cast, big fish and small fish will not escape. Today I let them die, and tomorrow they will let us die. We are very taboo about this!"

I was also a little confused after hearing this. If there was none of these, then what on earth stimulated those mermaids?

All the clues pointed to this aspect, but we just couldn't grasp the key, which made me a little angry.

My master also saw this, so he sighed, said to think slowly, waved to let everyone do their own things, and then led us out of the fish tank.

Lao Bai picked up the bottles and jars happily, smiling like a flower.

As a result, as soon as he got on the deck, my master stopped him and asked him to deal with the Yin Chi.

Lao Bai thought he had misheard, and subconsciously asked again. After confirming that my master asked him to deal with the Yin Chi, his face turned pale, and he almost sat down and rolled around.

My master asked him, in addition to harming people, is there any other use for the Yin Chi?

Lao Bai thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any use at all.

My master said that Qingwei Dao is a quiet place that can accommodate the common people's confession and the righteousness of the world, but it can't accommodate evil demons. If Lao Bai wants to raise Gu to harm people, he should either clean up the door today or leave Zhenwu Temple.

Under my master's sharp eyes, Lao Bai could only light a pot of charcoal fire and throw the Yin Chi into the fire. This thing is too evil. Once it enters the fire, it screams and screams, and the sound is as shrill as a person being slaughtered. After a while, it exploded. A green flame nearly one meter high rose in the brazier in an instant. It lasted for a long time, but blood kept oozing out from the bottom of the pot. It gradually calmed down after a long time.

Lao Bai stared at the brazier with a sad expression that made people mistakenly think that the person in the brazier was his son. As a result, my master came out of the cabin and took a look at him. He jumped up and spat into the brazier, leaving behind an arrogant and reserved glance, saying that it was an evil demon and that everyone should kill it, and then walked away.

Several of us were also shocked by the death scene of this thing and could not recover for a long time. This was not a mysterious creature at all, but more evil than evil corpses and evil ghosts. In addition to being shocked, we also had to sigh that humans still knew too little about this world.

The ship continued to drift on the boundless sea.

Both me and my master were thinking about the song, but unfortunately we didn't get any results and still had no clue. Shunzi had recovered. After the Yin Chi was taken out, his brain seemed to be much brighter, at least his behavior was no longer so stupid, but he still knew nothing about what happened that night and everything he had experienced with his father.

We followed the Minyue area, sailed along the sea, headed towards Jiaodong, and then turned our heads to search along the route that Guo Xun had landed across the sea. A few days passed in a flash, and we finally entered that mysterious and unknown area.

At that time, it was early morning. After hearing the shouting of the old one-eyed man, we rushed out of the crew cabin.

When the sea and the sky were connected, a red sun was hanging high in the sky. The sky was blue, the sea was blue, and the scenery was beautiful, without any weirdness.

We were not surprised by this result, but we couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The so-called District 17 is just a coordinate and a small circle on the globe of Old Man Shi. In fact, this is a huge sea area, hundreds of miles long and wide.

My master told Old One-Eye to let them sail in this sea area and do whatever they need to do. This is obviously a bit of luck.

Old One-Eye was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed to it very cooperatively. He just reminded my master that our fresh water reserves may only last for more than ten days at most. After all, this is just a very low-end small fishing boat. There is no fresh water machine in it. If the fresh water is exhausted, we have to dock in advance for replenishment.

My master gritted his teeth and agreed, and let him watch the arrangements.

Brother Yaozi said quite angrily that this sea gang is really a bit of a pit.

In fact, we know very well that the sea gang must have large ships, or other better ships, but they only gave us a small fishing boat and a group of crew members who have long been useless in their eyes. This must be the consideration of Old Man Shi.

We didn't tell him about my physical condition, and we didn't dare to tell him, because it involved a spirit bead. Old Man Shi was very thoughtful, and no one knew what he would do if he knew the truth. In this case, he actually hoped that we couldn't find District 17. In this way, we could only return empty-handed. A living ceremonial officer would have the opportunity to repay their help today in the future. But at the same time, he hoped that we could solve the problem of District 17. The Hai Gang started because they discovered a relic on the sea. They were very interested in it. It was rare for a half-step heavenly master to lead people to the sea. It gave him a glimmer of hope. If we broke through District 17, it might be good for them.

So, he simply made such a weird arrangement, gambling with the minimum cost, and at the same time, he didn't let us stay on the sea for too long. It would be best if we found something, and if we didn't find anything, we would come back quickly. This was the way that best suited his interests.

But now it has given us a problem. Time is too tight...

In the next few days, we have been wandering in this sea area, but still didn't find anything.

Every day I would observe every crew member on the deck, trying to find something, but the results were not satisfactory. Seeing that the fresh water was getting less and less, according to the old one-eyed man's estimation, we would have to return in two days at most.

I was almost desperate, but at this time, a person's strange behavior caught my attention...

This person was the one who had kidney disease and had been hanging a urine bag for a long time. Everyone called him Da Nian'er. There was Da Nian'er and there was Xiao Nian'er. Xiao Nian'er was also on this ship. He was the youngest one, in his thirties, injured, and a lame man.

The first person to notice the two brothers was Lao Bai, who was a gossipy person. He found that the two brothers were not very courageous and came here completely against their will. Since entering Area 17, they probably felt scared and were in a daze all day long. Every three or four days, they would sneak into the cabin when no one was around, and when they came out, they were radiant...

Lao Bai used the most vicious and despicable thoughts to maliciously speculate about the two brothers, and told me this as a joke...

The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it seriously.

I have been observing for so long, and I have seen the behavior of all the crew members, but the two brothers were not under my nose when they were hiding in the fish hold. I was really curious. Seeing that the return was imminent, I didn't care whether I would see anything eye-catching, and I decided to go over and take a peek.

On this day, in the morning, Da Nier gave Xiao Nier a look you know, and the two of them went into the fish hold again.

Little did they know, I had already spotted them, and immediately followed them secretly. When I tiptoed to the fish hatch, I heard the voices of the two brothers talking inside.

"Goddess of the Sea, please bless us to return safely. I hope these crazy people will give up and never come here again..."

"Brother, if we go back like this, will the higher-ups still arrange for our children?"

"I don't think so..."

"Then..."

"That shit, before I came here, I looked at my kid and thought I could give up everything for him, but after coming here, I found that life is so good. In order to live, I can give up everything. I don't care. I hope Goddess of the Sea blesses those crazy people to give up. I just want to go home safely now. It's better to live than to die!"

"..."

I was stunned when I heard it from outside. It turned out that these two were praying to God?

No wonder they came here when they were anxious, and they were glorious again when they went out. This is the power of faith!

I secretly cursed Lao Bai for being dishonest, but I was also a little curious. Who is this sea goddess they are talking about?

I think I know a lot about various religions and gods, but I have never heard of such a god. I felt novel for a while and sneaked into the fish cabin unknowingly.

In the dim cabin, the two brothers, Xiao Nier, were facing me with their backs to me, sticking their butts out, and worshiping in front of them.

In front of them was actually a necklace pendant, a jagged circular outer ring with a hexagram inside.

"This symbol..."

I hesitated for a while, vaguely feeling that this symbol was familiar. After thinking for a moment, my face suddenly changed. I took out the Tianshi Blade from my waist and shouted loudly: "Who are you two? Show up quickly!"
