Holy Bone

Chapter 1652 Plague Ship Sacrifice Ship Burial Ship

The fighting in the thick fog on the sea lasted for about half an hour, and then it returned to calm.

The people on the shore waited and waited, but there was no movement in the thick fog on the sea. Apart from the sound of waves, no other sound was heard. They became even more curious about the final outcome of this underworld naval battle?

Has the winner been decided?

Who will win in the end?

  Is the ghost ship still safe?

Is the Gewu Xianding on the boat okay?

But apart from the underworld gray fog, the only sound on the sea was the waves. It was so calm that I could never see the end.

Just like this, another stick of incense passed. These people could no longer suppress their inner anxiety. Fearing that the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu would be lost, they began to take action.

"Send a paper crane message to the Yang World, and ask them what's going on. Why haven't they arrived at the port to find us yet? If they're a few steps behind, we'll lose the clue to the Gewu Xiandi!"

The one who spoke was the old antique-level big shot with a green divine light on his mask. His voice was deep, full of dissatisfaction and a bit of anger.

At this time, the old antique with a yellow divine light on his mask also spoke to his subordinates: "You too, go ask the people in the mortal world why they are delaying time, and whether they encountered the prisoner ship in advance and were eaten by the prisoner ship."

Anyone could tell that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

Listening to the conversation between these two old-fashioned bigwigs, they don't seem to belong to the same faction. This result is a bit surprising.

Immediately, someone left in a hurry to connect with the people in the world of the living.

Those who left quickly returned to report the intelligence, all of them looked unhappy, which brought bad results.

The people in the world of the living did encounter an accident on the road, and are now changing their routes, taking detours, and rushing over from other routes.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the group of people on the shore all changed. If something really happened in the world of the living, they could only look at the Dead Sea in the underworld and worry, without being able to enter the ocean to track down the ghost ship.

"Could it be that the naval battle between the ghost ship and the prison ship has affected the world of the living, preventing the sunken ghost ship we found from docking?" Someone was anxious and rushed to ask.

"But logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. Yin and Yang have boundaries, and such a small disturbance won't disrupt the eternal balance of heaven and earth."

The reply that followed was very surprising. It was not because of the naval battle, but because the people in the world encountered other accidents while sailing along the coast.

The incident was not a natural disaster or a sudden storm, but a man-made disaster.

"It's because of man-made disasters! We are not the only ones who have targeted the Gewu Immortal Cauldron today!" The person in charge of connecting with the world of the living had a serious expression on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people were in an uproar, and after repeated urging, they quickly learned the whole story.

It turned out that both groups of people knew very well that if they wanted to track down clues about ghost ships in the underworld, they had to go out to sea, and to go out to sea they needed to take a ghost ship.

The old man with a mask of green divine light found a plague ship. This was a ship used to exile people infected with severe plague. There were hundreds or even thousands of people on the ship who all died at sea. It was conceivable how deep the resentment was. It was most suitable to be used as a ghost ship to take them to the sea in the underworld.

The old man with the mask emitting yellow divine light found a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea. It was a sacrificial ship, with four hundred boys and four hundred girls on board.

In the past dynasties, there was a certain incompetent emperor who listened to the advice of treacherous ministers and believed that as long as he could find the legendary Penglai Island overseas, he could get the elixir of immortality after landing on the island. In order to ensure the smooth sailing of the fleet and to ensure that they could find the Penglai Island and get the elixir of immortality, every time the fleet went out to sea, they would waste a lot of money and manpower to sacrifice boys and girls to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. There is a saying among the people that the worst thing is a half-grown ghost.

There were eight hundred little ghosts on board, and one could imagine the resentment on that ship, which was also very suitable for taking them out to sea in the underworld.

No matter whether it is a plague ship or a sacrificial ship, they all have one thing in common: they are all sunken ships full of resentment, suitable for concealing the vitality of the souls of the living and helping them to sail in the dangerous and unknown underworld.

These forces have no shortage of treasure ships, but those treasure ships cannot hide the aura of so many Shinto masters.

The Dead Sea is not like the Yellow Spring River inland. If your boat capsizes inland, you still have a chance to get ashore, but if your boat capsizes in the boundless Dead Sea, you will be unable to escape even if you have wings.

So they found plague ships, sacrificial ships and other ghost ships on the sea.

The problem is that sea ships are too large to be brought directly into the underworld. They require careful planning and large-scale rituals to bring such a large ghost ship into the underworld.

It is equivalent to treating the ghost ship as a magic weapon.

They first sent a group of people into the underworld to search for the location of the ghost ship and marked its location in the underworld, so that the people who stayed in the world could find them and the ghost ship as soon as possible after they completed the ritual and brought the ghost ship into the underworld.

Even though they had been in the underworld for half a day, only a short while had passed in the world of the living.

The process of opening the altar and performing the ritual went smoothly. The people who remained in the world of the living sailed along the predetermined route on plague ships and sacrificial ships, while performing the ritual on the ghost ships. Just as they were about to open the gates of hell on the sea, an accident happened at the last moment.

A group of people with mysterious identities also held a ritual near the port of Haizhou Prefecture, intending to take a ghost ship into the underworld and go out to sea.

The other side had a small number of people, but the ghost ships they brought were very powerful. Even the plague ship carrying the death of thousands of people and the sacrificial ship carrying the resentment of eight hundred little ghosts were so scared when they saw the other side's ghost ships that they dared not approach from a distance and dared not cross the line.

That's a tomb ship!

And it’s not just an ordinary tomb ship of a small prince, but the tomb ship of an emperor from a certain dynasty!

These imperial tomb ships are made of countless huge ships locked together with iron chains, and then a huge mausoleum is built on the ship. Finally, the bottom of the ship is drilled through and the tomb ship is sunk. The shipwreck site on the seabed is the feng shui site for the tomb.

Fortunately, the Emperor's Tomb Ship was very large, and the other party could not bring out the entire tomb ship from the bottom of the sea, but only brought out part of the ear chamber. Otherwise, what they faced was not a ghost ship, but a ghost town as big as a city.

Even if it is just the ear chamber part, it is terrifying enough. The ear chamber is most likely the burial pit part of the tomb ship. From a distance, it is full of resentment and ghostly atmosphere, and countless terrible roars can be heard.

Not to mention the plague ships and sacrificial ships dared not cross the line, even the living people in the world would retreat away when they saw them.

This sudden incident forced the plague ship and the sacrificial ship to change their routes and take a long detour into the underworld, which resulted in some additional delays.

After hearing the information sent back from the mortal world, the old antique with a green divine light mask and the old antique with a yellow divine light mask looked at each other in surprise, and then asked: "You have a small number of people on your side, but you can activate the Emperor's Mausoleum Ship. How many people are there on your side?"

The man hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about what happened, and then answered, "There were only three people I saw. I don't know if there were other accomplices in the chamber."

Hearing that only three of them had made such a big noise, everyone fell silent, feeling a sense of crisis that the other party was up to no good.
