Chapter 1643: The Ghost Ship's New Crew: The Headless Taoist Priest

"interesting."

The headless Jin'an, holding the soul-guiding lantern, kept looking towards the estuary.

His inner curiosity urged him to go over and find out what was going on.

Afterwards, Headless Jin'an turned around and bowed towards the coffin behind him as a final farewell, as he did not want to involve the owner of the boat coffin.

The ghost ship now is like the center of a vortex. Whether in the underworld or in the world of the living, many masters are keeping an eye on the ghost ship.

If the Gewu Immortal Cauldron is really on the ghost ship, there will inevitably be a fierce fight between dragons and tigers to get it.

During the scramble, swords and knives were merciless and there would be bloodshed, so he didn't want to involve the boat coffin burial.

After saying goodbye, Headless Jin'an jumped onto the shore, waved at the black-sailed boat, signaling them to have a safe journey and say goodbye. Then he exploded and rushed towards the estuary.

As soon as Headless Jin'an stepped into the deserted port city, he immediately noticed that something was wrong in the air, as if he heard someone calling him, a vague feeling.

As we got closer to the sea, the calling sound became clearer. It was the ghost ship calling for crew members to board.

Headless Jin'an jumped onto a high tower of the giant port city and looked out to sea. At this time, the underworld was shrouded in gray fog, especially the deadly energy on the sea was the heaviest, and the gray fog was thicker than inland.

But the call grew stronger.

Calling the separated crew members to board the ship as soon as possible.

For the living, this kind of call is like a death warrant, urging them to rush towards a desperate situation.

A ghost ship where a shipwreck has occurred and all the crew members have died is, in the eyes of the living, a dangerous place that is at the gates of hell.

At this time, it was still possible for Wutou Jinan to abandon the ship and leave, but he took advantage of his skills and courage, so he did not retreat but advanced instead and continued to approach the seashore.

  Just when Headless Jin'an had just walked out of the huge port city, whoosh!

The gray fog on the sea surface rushed towards his location like a tidal wave, and then his entire body disappeared out of thin air, and the figure in the cinnabar Taoist robe with scriptures disappeared from the spot.

At the moment when Headless Jin'an disappeared from the spot, an evil wind suddenly blew up on the calm sea, causing the clouds and mist to surge violently, making a whistling sound. In the depths of the swirling clouds and mist, it seemed that a ship with a vague outline was seen, raising its sails, turning around, leaving the port, and heading towards the depths of the ocean.

The ghost ship has picked up the lost crew and started to sail away.

The ghost ship was covered in blood, and the deck was covered with blood and sticky flesh fragments. There was not a clean place to be found, leaving people with nowhere to stand.

This ghost ship was wrecked a long time ago. It is unknown how long it has been drifting on the ocean. The whole hull has a sense of age.

Sword and knife marks can be found on the hull, canvas, and every corner. Add to that the sticky blood and flesh fragments on the deck. It is not difficult to imagine that a bloody fight had taken place on this ship, with the crew killing each other and every knife strike taking lives.

Because the sword cuts left deep marks on the wooden beams and pillars.

There are too many strange things about this ship. Apart from the sticky blood and flesh fragments and traces of sword fighting on the deck, the whole ship is dead silent. Even the doors and windows of the cabin are nailed and sealed from the outside. While the wind and waves cannot enter the cabin, the connection between it and the outside world is also sealed.

But after nailing the gaps in the doors and windows, blood mixed with sea water continued to leak out.

There were strong winds and waves at sea, and the ghost ship crashed into the waves one after another. The sea water hit the deck, and it was hard to tell whether the blood was seeping out from the cabin or was diluted by the sea water washing the sticky flesh and blood on the deck.

On every nailed-up door and window, there were strings of garlic and some strange bottles and jars hanging. When the ghost ship sailed against the wind, these garlic and strange bottles and jars were swaying in the wind. The garlic used by the people to ward off evil spirits, the nailed-up doors and windows, and the blood that kept seeping out, all these details seemed to prove that there was something terrifying sealed behind the cabin that was difficult for human beings to deal with.

No matter how far apart the regions are or how big the gap in civilizations is, people at home and abroad have the custom of using garlic to ward off evil spirits.

For example, there is a folk custom called "top garlic" in Kangding. During the spring rain and plum rain season, hanging a few strings of garlic in the house can effectively ward off evil spirits, cold and insects.

pat-

pat-

The sudden sound of footsteps broke the dead silence on the ghost ship, and a faint green candlelight lit up on the ship, which was originally as dark as hell.

The faint green candlelight placed on the ship and on the sea was so tiny that it seemed as if it would be extinguished by the wind and waves at any time.

pat.

pat.

The footsteps continued, and the wooden boards made a creaking sound as they stepped on the old deck, which sounded like the painful groans of a sick old man.

As the green candlelight hung on the wooden railings dispelled the darkness and illuminated the space, a headless Taoist priest stood behind the rudder.

The headless Taoist priest put his hand on the rudder, trying to control the ghost ship. Even though the rudder was badly damaged and most of it was missing, it still did not affect the turning of the rudder.

The rudder was turning, but the person at the helm was not the headless Taoist priest, but the ghost ship itself.

No matter how hard the headless Taoist priest tried, he just couldn't turn the boat's rudder.

Seeing that the rudder was moving on its own and not controlled by any external force, the headless Taoist priest gave up the idea of ​​fighting for control of the ghost ship and began to look at more details of the ship, looking for an opportunity to return ashore.

The broken end of the rudder was not smooth, and looked as if someone had chopped off most of it with an axe, and it was destroyed intentionally.

Maybe someone wanted to make the ship out of control and did not want this ominous ship to be steered and docked in the port.

The headless Taoist priest in front of him is naturally Headless Jin'an.

The influence range of this ghost ship is very large. He had just left the port city and was inexplicably standing on the ghost ship. There was no need for him to board the ship.

As the person involved, he didn't even know how to get on the ship. Everything was too abrupt and too fast. In the blink of an eye he was already on the ghost ship. This sudden change was beyond his expectation.

The headless Taoist priest shifted his gaze away from the rudder. Since he could not control the steering for the time being, he began to look at other details of the ghost ship, trying to find clues related to the Gewu Immortal Cauldron.

He quickly noticed the doors and windows that were sealed with layers of wooden boards, as well as the strings of garlic hanging on the door and window frames.

Although he was unexpectedly forced to board the ship, he could move freely on the ghost ship without restrictions, which was a good thing.

It was the sticky flesh and blood on the deck, which was sticky and slippery, like walking on thick ink, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to lift his feet to see how much flesh and blood was stuck to the soles of his shoes, but long strings of flesh and blood were pulled out of the soles, and the bloody smell was pungent.
