Holy Bone

Chapter 1642: Finding the Shipwrecked Ghost Ship

Wutou Jinan initially thought that the other party was flying towards him, but through some details of the other party, he quickly noticed that the other party was not flying towards him, so he chose to wait and see and did not act rashly.

As expected, the boat burial and the coffin beside him were the best means of hiding him while walking in the underworld. The other parties all treated him as a dead person in the underworld and did not think of him as a living person or as someone being followed.

"Huh? When did a headless Taoist priest appear?"

"A dead person was buried in a boat coffin. Let's not make things complicated. We should continue to search for the ghost ship. The living world is still anxiously waiting for us to tell them the location!"

A few words of discussion reached the "ears" of Headless Jin'an.

Wutou Jin'an was calm. Hearing that he was mistaken for a dead person was exactly what he wanted to see, so he continued to pretend to be dead.

"The gray fog on the sea that was blown away by the black wind disaster has started to rise again. Don't delay any longer, and quickly find that ghost ship! Once the gray fog covers the underworld again, I don't know how long it will take for the next black wind disaster to come!"

"Brother Yuancheng, you are too impatient. We don't need you to rush us. We all know what to do. We have been waiting for a few days. If we wanted to find the ghost ship, we would have found it long ago. The reason why the ghost ship is called a ghost ship is because it appears and disappears without a trace. If we want to find it, we can only wait for it to show up on its own initiative."

The Shinto master known as Brother Yuan Cheng snorted in displeasure after being refuted: "Humph, you don't need to remind me, everyone knows this truth! But this ghost ship is different. It has been lurking near the coast. As long as it lurks near the coast, it can't escape our naked eye search!"

At this time, the third person tried to smooth things over, saying, "You are both right. Whether it's the world of the living or the underworld, as long as we can find that ghost ship that appears and disappears mysteriously, we must try them all, even if there are a thousand ways. After all, you and I both know how useful that ghost ship is to us!"

The two of them changed the subject: "Could it really be that the lost overseas Gewu Xianding has reappeared this time..."

Then, a third person decisively interrupted and prohibited the discussion of this topic: "Don't mention these four words in the underworld. When people talk about ghosts in the underworld, be careful that ghosts are also listening to you!"

Some people didn't take it seriously: "A headless Taoist priest died. You are being too cautious. It was just a boat coffin burial that happened to drift along the river and headed for the seaport. During the days we have been guarding this place, we have often seen such boat coffin burials."

The third person: "What I'm worried about is not the ship coffin burial, but the ghost ship. Don't underestimate the enemy. It's always better to be cautious."

The few of them discussed for a few more sentences, but basically no useful information was heard.

At this time, the gray fog on the sea became more and more diffuse and gradually spread to the land. At this time when clear and turbid fog alternated and the boundary between heaven and earth was chaotic, several people's exclamations were heard in the sky, and there was joy in their exclamations.

Headless Jin'an's heart moved. The other party climbed up to look far away, and they really found the ghost ship.

Just as he was using the Wind-Fixing Beads to eavesdrop on the other party's conversation through the sound of the wind, wanting to learn the exact location of the ghost ship, several of the other party had already landed on the ground, intending to return to Yang to report their location.

While landing on the ground, the other side noticed Headless Jin'an again, and they frowned in surprise.

"Why is that headless Taoist priest still here and hasn't set out to sea yet?"

"After your reminder, it seems that the boat coffin burial has been lingering?"

"Indeed! Could it be a coincidence?"

"Let's not coffin him for now. He hasn't made any unusual movements and there's no need for us to create unnecessary trouble. The most important thing now is to pass the information from the underworld back to the world of the living so that they can take action as soon as possible. Don't miss this opportunity that we have been waiting for so hard!" The gray fog on the sea spread very quickly. As soon as the other party withdrew, the gray fog on the sea had almost returned to its original thickness.

But this does not pose a problem for Wutou Jinan.

Before the gray fog on the sea surface completely dissipated, he seized the opportunity and decisively performed the fifth transformation of the Sky Eye Technique, looking in the direction that the other people had pointed earlier.

There is no bright moon rising above the sea in the underworld, but only endless coldness, gloom and darkness. It is deeper and darker than the thousand-year-old pools in the deep mountains and old forests, exuding a great sense of chilliness. On the cold sea surface, there is a vague outline hanging alone on the sea, looming in the gray fog.

The vague outline looked like a multi-masted ship, sailing silently on the sea.

Because there is no light source on the cold sea, everything is swallowed up by darkness. Only vague outlines can be seen. In addition, due to the distance, the full picture cannot be seen clearly.

But you can still see the outline of a ship, but you can't see the details clearly.

The ship was dark and silent because all the crew members were dead. There was no light from candles on the ship.

It would be more appropriate to describe it as a huge coffin.

Before Headless Jinan could see more, the thick gray fog on the sea had completely dissipated, the ghost ship was lost, and the truth behind the gray fog could not be seen.

Unless he comes closer to look.

Headless Jin'an looked down at the soul-guiding lantern in his hand. The green candlelight in the lantern was burning brightly, much brighter than it had been along the way, as if indicating that the ghost ship was still drifting in the nearby sea and had not gone far away.

Headless Jin'an calmly looked at the vast and mysterious sea shrouded in fog. He was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, considering whether to board the ship directly in the underworld, or return to the world of the living first, and then board the ship with other forces.

Both have pros and cons.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he chooses the latter, he can take the opportunity to detect many hidden forces and uncover those hidden forces from more than ten years ago, thus taking the initiative.

  More importantly, the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu can only be found in the world of the living!

The main purpose of his trip was to find the source of the corpse and the wrecked ship. Only by finding the ship could he find the Gewu Xianding. Only by finding the Gewu Xianding could he find out the truth about the Shenzhou incident more than ten years ago.

But the former also has its advantages. The ghost ship is right in front of him and he can board it now. Some truths can only be found in the underworld after death.

He has never been an indecisive person. He doesn't think for too long. He makes a decision quickly and takes action immediately.

Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly paused. He raised the soul-guiding lamp in his hand in surprise and saw that the green candle flame had become brighter.

  This unexpected situation made people stunned at first, and then they suddenly realized that there was only one possibility, that a ghost ship was drifting towards him!

"Could it be that the ghost ship sensed the breath of the crew members and mistook me for a crew member, and came to pick up its crew members?" This was the first thought of Headless Jinan.
