Chapter 102: The Island
I was a little curious when I heard this. Even the big ship sank, where else could they go?
In this dangerous waters in the middle of Dongting Lake, is there a safe place?
However, Yu Wu didn't say anything, and I didn't ask anymore. I just sat quietly and rested and recovered my strength. Yu Wu returned to the cabin and took out a few canned beef from it and threw it to us.
I had something for lunch before, but I didn't eat anything after it was dark. Before I could finish the meal, the boat sank. I had just tossed and stopped at this moment, and my stomach was already hungry. When I saw the canned food, my eyes turned green. I raised the dagger I had been holding in my hand and was about to open it.
Fortunately, I was not completely hungry yet. I remembered that the dagger had just cut off the arm of those things and stopped in time.
There was no blood on the dagger. After all, it was soaked in water just now, but it was absolutely impossible to use it to open the can. I asked Yu Wu and took a knife to open the can again.
I opened my own. Seeing that Chu Sili's can had not opened yet, I handed him the knife.
Chu Sili nodded, put down the things in his hand and opened the can with a knife.
It was only then that I could see clearly what he used to poke those black shadows.
It was a metal stick with golden light made about half a meter long, made of some materials. The middle was uneven and it was impossible to see what pattern it was in the dark. One end showed a sharp blade, like a thickened version of a military stinger. The other end was five round heads that looked like a hammer head.
Only then did I realize that the long bag he had been carrying since daylight was this thing.
"Is this... the Demon Subduing Pestle? Or the Vajra Pine?"
Whether it is the Demon-Subduing Pestle or the Vajra Pestle, they are all Buddhist magic weapons. According to legend, the Vajra Pestle in Buddhism is to hold the Demon-Subduing Pestle in one hand and the Vajra Pestle in the other hand, and to assassinate the hindrance demons in the ten directions with the Vajra Pestle in the Blade of the Vajra Pestle, and to destroy the demons in the Demon-Subduing Pestle and break the illusion.
Chu Sili's stick has a sharp head that looks like a Vajra Pillar, while the other end looks like a demon-subduing pestle. However, in terms of length, it is a bit too long for both the demon-subduing pestle and the Vajra Pillar.
But this is what I learned from the Internet before. I dare not say what kind of magic weapon Chu Sili's thing is.
What is certain is that this thing must be a Buddhist instrument. This style originated from Buddhist Tantric Buddhism. It was only then that I remembered that Chu Sili seemed to be a monk.
When I think about it this way, I feel a little strange. Although Chu Sili wears a monk's robe and wears a rosary, he has not been ordained, and does not recite scriptures or Buddha. He lives in the Taoist temple and his master is still an old Taoist priest. When I get mixed with him like this, I almost forgot that he is a monk.
Basically, apart from his clothes and dressing, I didn't notice the appearance of his monk at all. Although he didn't drink, he still ate meat with us. Just look at how he was picking up the beef from canned food without hesitation.
When Chu Sili heard me ask him whether it was a demon-subduing pestle or a Vajra Pillar, he didn't answer, but just continued to eat canned food.
I shrugged and didn't ask any more questions. I turned around and asked Tan Jin who was also gnawing on beef: "What exactly are those in the water?"
Tan Jin swallowed a piece of beef: "Ask me who I ask, anyway, it's not a good thing. They were prepared for this time, and less than half of them survived. Last time, Yu Wu and the others didn't understand the situation in the water and went into the water rashly. It was already lucky to be able to come back alive so many people.
Yu Wu was right next to him. He said that he was just picking up any pot. Sure enough, Yu Wu kicked him immediately: "You know that you can fire the hindsight here. If I hadn't dragged you down before, you would have gone into the water and fed the fish like everyone else."
Tan Jin rolled his eyes and said yes, yes, yes, uncle, you are my savior, but I'm telling the truth. You dare to go to the lake without even bringing a few guns. It's not like death. The method of the burial gate was mostly destroyed under the water. At this time, the gun is still useful. Besides, you haven't encountered the thing that sank the ship, but the whole ship has returned intact.
I was shocked when I heard this and said that the ship had sunk something? Didn’t the ship hit the reef just now?
Tan Jin sneered and said something about the reef. Where can I find the reef in the middle of Dongting Lake? Besides, such a large ship, do you think it can sink if you hit the reef? Just kidding, the thing behind it hit you several times before it shocked you off the boat. Didn't you feel it?
It was true that I was shocked before I fell into the water. If I really hit the reef, how could there be such vibration when the ship was sunk? Unless something exploded in the boat, I didn't hear the explosion.
"It seems that there are more than those things like humans under the water." Tan Jin sneered and said, "At least there is a big guy."
I couldn't help but shivered. Although the ship that just sank was not a large ship, it had exceeded the standard of ordinary medium-sized fishing boats. The boat was more than fifty meters long. What would it be if it was a living thing? How big would it be?
This reminds me of the world-famous Loch Ness monster. If it were such a big guy, it might really be able to sank the ship. There are legends of water monsters all over the world, and there are Honghu monsters, Tianchi water monsters, etc. In China alone, Dongting Lake, the largest in China, is now in the second place. It seems to be in the middle of the lake, and naturally there are legends of water monsters.
In fact, in those small lakes that are not as big as Tiananmen Square, it is not reliable to have any giant creatures. Even if it is stuffed with fish, it is not enough for big guys of this whale level to have a few meals. When it comes to which lakes have the ability to feed such giant creatures, there is no doubt that Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake are among the top two. Especially Dongting Lake, which has rich aquatic products since ancient times, it is not impossible to feed a few sperm whales.
Did we just encounter the legendary Dongting Lake monster? Or is it more Chinese, which is the Dongting Dragon Prince often mentioned by the fishermen on the lake?
The water we are in now is sleeping under the water. Although it is just a legend, no one knows if there is really a Dragon King, but it makes me feel a little nervous when it comes to the things that just hit the shipwreck.
I reached out and touched the gossip card that was placed close to my pocket, and I felt a little more secure. Fortunately, my pocket had a zipper, otherwise I would have rolled and fell into the water before, so I should have lost it long ago.
I just don’t know if this evil weapon that took hundreds of years to refine can be useful to those things?
Thinking of this, I asked, "Where is the gold, where is the gossip mirror?"
Tan Jin replied: "I'm here, don't worry."
I nodded. I didn't worry about putting both things on me before, so I handed over the gossip mirror to Tan Jin for safekeeping.
"Here!" Yu Wu suddenly spoke.
I quickly got up and looked forward, and saw a tiny light gradually enlarge in the darkness ahead.
Not long after, the boat approached the direction of the light. It turned out to be a small island. No, it is more appropriate to say that it is a land that is exposed to the water surface. Although it is separated from the water surface, it is flat and has a small area, just like the open space in front of Yueyang Railway Station, with some trees growing scattered. The light on it is a bunch of bonfires, and you can see that there are many people on it.
"Damn, there is an island here?" Lao Huo and I were both stunned. We knew that the destination this time was not only the bottom of the water where the Dragon King's Coffin was located, but the land in front of us was obviously not the island in the middle of the lake, so where did this come from? How could there be such a place in this water area that has no return?
"It's incredible, right?" Tan Jin laughed and said, "This island seems to be not an ordinary island. Those black shadows will not come up. It can be said to be the only safe place in this water. I don't know how the woman knew that there was such a place. As soon as the ship sank, she immediately took the others to find it."
I looked at this small land, but I felt an inexplicably ominous premonition.
