Chapter 1242 Sea of ​​Tranquility

There is a very strange pattern in this world——

The more people rely on nature for food, the more reverent they are for nature.

On the contrary, those who sit in the office all day long and don’t even know how high the mountains are or how deep the sea is are not afraid of heaven and earth. They feel that they can do anything and only wear a pair of blue long johns, red briefs, and

He flew into the sky and escaped like a superman. He killed a tiger with a slide shovel, punched through a steel plate, and threw an elephant on his back. All these things were done by these people. They were as brave as a god of war. They wished they could use their own weapons.

The little silkworm chrysalis pokes a hole in the sky. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t feel pain when I stand and talk, or if I am truly ignorant and fearless.

The Hai Gang depends on the sea for their livelihood, but they don't have this pride. They fear the sea more than anyone else.

Whenever they go to sea, especially when they want to explore the restricted areas in the sea, they will hold a grand sacrifice.

Offer sacrifices to Mazu, King Narcissus, and the Dragon of the East China Sea...

The gods they worship are many and complex.

In fact, even me, a Taoist practitioner, feels that this kind of sacrificial behavior is a bit too superstitious. Anyway, until now, I don’t know if there are gods in this world. In my opinion, the gods they worship are very likely to be

It doesn't exist. Just like my master said, the more advanced you practice, the less you believe that there are gods in this world. The so-called various spells to invite gods to come are actually secretly communicating with heaven and borrowing the natural power of heaven and earth.

That’s all, when we devoutly serve the three pure states of Taoism, we are actually serving the “Tao” that is the same as heaven and earth.

This is my master’s view, and I completely agree with it.

Hai Gang straddles between Xuanmen and Qimen. I don't believe they have never heard of such a saying, but they still perform sacrifices devoutly.

At this moment, many members of the Hai Gang on the pier were holding three sticks of incense, kneeling on the ground, and praying devoutly.

The unsmiling white wolf's face was covered with colorful oil paint. Beside him, the twenty elite sea gangs who were going to sail with us were also dressed in weird costumes. The white wolf was jumping around on the boat,

Those people were chattering some words that I couldn't understand. They should be some local words and phrases used for sacrifices, and they had no special meaning.

Old Man Shi is also here, but this old man cherishes his life very much and has an extremely wretched personality. There are so many people on the dock and it is so chaotic. Where can he show up? Outside the crowd at the dock, a car is parked there. The driver

It was Yongzi. Old Man Shi was sitting in the back seat. He rolled down the glass a little, revealing only a small part of his eyes, looking at me from a long distance away.

He nodded, as if he was telling me - Have a nice trip.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Yongzi started the car, and the two of them drove away. They didn't stay at the pier for more than a minute, but I felt that this was a great sign of respect for me, and I didn't feel dissatisfied at all.

With the old man's cherished spirit of cherishing his life, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bring anyone else with him.

This fuss lasted for nearly two hours.

After the sacrifice was over, Bai Lang pushed all the tributes into the sea, which was also a way of offering sacrifices to the sea gang. Then the many sea gang members gathered at the dock dispersed and returned to their jobs at the fishery, busy with their own work.

things.

Not long after, a dark and strong young man next to White Wolf came to look for us and only said that everything was ready and we could board the boat.

Compared to the previous grand sacrificial ceremony, our trip was very low-key. There was not even a serious person to send us off. This seems to be the tradition of the Hai Gang. They think that the send-off is too grand, which will make people traveling far away.

People can't come back.

Listen to me when it comes to monsters and monsters, and listen to him when it comes to sailing on the sea.

This is the agreement between Bai Lang and I, and it has become an unwritten rule for us to get along harmoniously.

Bai Lang is indeed adhering to this rule unswervingly. He really doesn't treat us as outsiders, he simply treats us as crew members. He knows everything about what can and cannot be done on the ship, daily supply rations, etc.

He took charge of everything and strictly required each of us to perform it. However, we didn't need to worry about the work on the ship. He and his twenty brothers were responsible for all the work. I guess the main reason was that he was afraid that we wouldn't be able to do the work.

Compared to the unsmiling White Wolf, his twenty crew members are much easier to get along with.

These people are all men who lick blood with their swords and don't stick to trivial details. We are also men who live in danger and work everywhere. We have many similarities in both personality and experience. In addition, each other's crew cabins are very close to each other.

We only got along for a day or two, and the two sides are already very familiar with each other.

Lao Bai often cursed and played cards with this group of people.

Wushuang and Brother Yaozi like to wrestle with these people on the deck with no shirts and bare feet.

Even I like these people very much. I have memorized all the names of more than 20 people.

Overall, this time it was much more pleasant and relaxing than the last time we cooperated with Hai Gang.

The only thing that makes me a little puzzled is Uncle Wu Gui. The cabin is very big. The people here are separated according to men and women. Qingzhu and Zhang Xinya took Xiaozhi to live in a smaller cabin. We gentlemen

We were squeezed into a larger cabin, and Uncle Wu Gui happened to be in the same cabin as us. After going to sea, he came to talk to me every now and then, all about trivial things, and he also cared about me very much, every day.

Inside, people are asking for warmth.

Lao Baijian said in a swishing voice that he was an old glass, and reminded me that it is best not to turn your back to Uncle Wu Gui when I go to bed at night. Don't accidentally ruin the festival, and the chrysanthemum will never bloom again once it is damaged.

This is of course bullshit, but Uncle Wu Gui’s inexplicable enthusiasm really makes me incomprehensible, and I become more wary and wary of him every day.

We started from Longhai City and entered the East China Sea at the earliest. Then we kept heading southwest. After a few days, we entered the South China Sea and finally plunged into the high seas of the South China Sea.

At this time, we have been in the vast sea for a while. Overall, everything is stable. The situation on the sea is better than we thought. We haven't even encountered a storm, which is just a bit boring.

On this day, I was once again sitting in the cabin recording the Tianguanjue, when a very young man, less than 1.7 meters tall, with a short haircut, rushed into the cabin.

I remember this young man who followed me to learn the Taoist Nine-Character Mantra's handprints two days ago. His name is Chen Wenlong. He is from southern Fujian and the youngest one under Bai Lang. He is a little younger than me.

"Brother Jingzhe, Brother Jingzhe, Brother Lang is calling you!!"

As soon as Chen Wenlong entered the cabin, he started shouting in Mandarin with a southern Fujian accent.

"This is a strange thing. Didn't Bai Lang say that everything on the ship is all up to him? We have been out at sea for more than ten days, and he has never looked for me."

I smiled and put down my pen and said, "Tell me what he wants from me."

"Oh, how long has it been and you're still kidding!"

Chen Wenlong said anxiously: "We have entered the area marked on your chart, and... something big has happened!!"
