Holy Bone

Chapter 1653 Seven-Star Soul Guardian Lamp Three Treasures Lamp

After waiting for a while, these people finally saw the ghost ship they were waiting for.

The dark shadows of ships passed through the thick fog and landed in the harbor with huge hulls. The first to arrive was the plague ship.

The plague ship is also called the plague-sending ship. The plague-sending ship is like a huge coffin. There are no windows on the entire ship and very few doors. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an airtight coffin.

The plague could be spread to the next town with the help of the wind, so it was reasonable to seal the doors and windows of the plague ships to prevent the spread of the plague.

The plague-sending ship was filled with banners and flags that fluttered in the sea breeze. On each banner was a huge word "plague" written on it, which made people afraid to approach.

The sacrificial ship arrived shortly after. The sacrificial ship was slightly larger than the plague-sending ship, and its surface was also hung with banners and flags, filled with all kinds of articles praising the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

These banners are colorful in the world of the living, but in the underworld they are only black and white.

The banners and flags with darker colors in the world of the living are darker black in the world of the dead. This is the only crude method to distinguish that there are huge differences in the colors of these banners and flags.

The sacrificial ship was even more bizarre than the plague-sending ship.

There is almost no cabin visible on the deck of the sacrificial ship. The flattened deck is filled with small temples. Each small temple is an independent temple with a cushion placed inside and portraits of the Four Dragon Kings pasted on it. It is used as an altar for rituals, and is as simple and narrow as a land temple.

On the altars of each of these small temples sits a dried corpse of a young child. These children are sacrifices to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. They are the four hundred boys and four hundred girls mentioned by the people on the shore.

When the four hundred boys and four hundred girls were sent onto the boat, their hands and feet were locked with several iron chains and they were fixed to the cushions to prevent them from escaping.

It was because they were locked in place with iron chains during their lifetime that when the sacrificial ship sank to the bottom of the deep sea, these boys and girls were locked in place and buried with the ship.

This sacrificial ship has been around for quite a while, being able to dry the bodies of young boys and girls to the point of being mummies. It looks even older than a prison ship.

The bloody scratches on the walls of the small temple indicate that the eight hundred boys and girls were alive when they were sacrificed. They were tied alive on the boat and forced to lock themselves in the small temple to prevent them from escaping. They were sacrificed alive and drowned alive by the sea. It is unknown how desperate and painful these eight hundred boys and girls were before they capsized and drowned.

Imagine a ship with no cabins, but only densely packed small temples as small as the local temple, with a dried child corpse sitting on the cushion in each small temple... To sacrifice eight hundred children, there must be eight hundred small temples on the deck of the ship. No wonder it is said to be even more bizarre than the plague ship. Anyone who sees such a unique and bizarre scene for the first time will be shocked at first sight.

In terms of the number of deaths on board, the most people died on the plague ship, with more than 800 boys and girls.

This is an indisputable fact, because when they found the plague ship, the cabin was crammed with more than a thousand plague people.

But in terms of the depth of resentment after death, the resentment and obsession of the 800 boys and girls on the sacrificial ship is the deepest, far exceeding the resentment on the plague ship. The worst is the half-sized ghost, and the little ghost is hard to mess with, which is fully demonstrated here.

Eight hundred little ghosts gathered together, and each of them had their own small temple. At first glance, it gave people a particularly heavy yin aura, bringing a terrifying visual impact, and making people feel numb. The doors and windows were closed, and everyone was locked in the cabin. The plague ship, which was shaped like a coffin, became the calmest and most normal one in front of the sacrificial ship.

Of course, this calm and normal state was only an appearance. The more than 1,000 infected people locked up in the cabins died in horrific conditions, and they were just hidden deeper.

The death of the eight hundred boys and girls is the biggest suspense left to the world. No one can tell whether they died in a shipwreck or at the hands of the Four Sea Dragon Kings, or whether they really saw the Four Sea Dragon Kings before they died...

These people on the shore were not here to explore or trace history. They were here to look for clues about the Immortal Cauldron. They were not interested in the secrets of the plague-sending ship and the sacrificial ship. They quickly boarded the ship and headed towards the deep fog of the Dead Sea in the underworld, looking for traces of ghost ships and prisoner ships.

As soon as these people got on board, the first thing they noticed was the altar for rituals. On the altar were incense, candles, a thin red rope, a compass, a soul-calming bell, several unique instruments with particularly heavy yin energy, and a soul-guiding lamp that burned with a faint green candle.

Without these soul-guiding lamps, they would not have been able to find the Haizhoufu Port so smoothly in the underworld. These soul-guiding lamps were taken from people who died in the Haizhoufu Port, and were specially brought from the world of the living to lead the way.

The altar of the Plague-Sending Ship was set up with a seven-star soul-protecting lamp formation.

The altar of the sacrificial boat is arranged in a formation of the Three Treasures Lanterns. The Three Treasures Lanterns are three lamps as one treasure. There are a total of nine lamps. Three represents the Three Talents formation, and nine represents the unity of all things, which means returning to the truth. The Three Treasures Lanterns are the most commonly used by Taoists.

Only with these altars and rituals can such a large ship be brought into the underworld.

  The Seven-Star Soul-Protecting Lamp and the Three Treasures Lamp both had their own masters who presided over the altar. As their companions boarded the ship, the person presiding over the altar asked everyone worriedly, "Before they came to pick people up, had they seen a burial ship appear near the coast of the port?"

When he learned that no one was seen, the person presiding over the altar became even more worried and looked uneasy. He said that this shouldn't be the case. He had taken a long detour to bring the boat into the underworld, so it stands to reason that the other party should have entered the underworld a long time ago. It is impossible for him to arrive later than him?

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had just boarded the ship subconsciously looked towards the depths of the thick fog on the sea. It was so peaceful there. Could it be that the people on the tomb ship had already found the ghost ship in advance?

People asked the person presiding over the altar if anything else had happened in the world of the living, but the other party was very secretive and did not explain immediately.

It seems that the experiences of the plague-sending ships and the sacrificial ships in the mortal world were far more horrific than what the informant had said. It was not as simple as described in the oral accounts, and it actually frightened the people presiding over the altars on both sides and made them suspicious.

In order to prevent the Gewu Immortal Cauldron from falling into the hands of others, the top leaders ordered the ghost ship to go out to sea at full speed to find the ghost ship first, and leave the matter of the tomb ship for later.

Because they already knew the approximate locations of the ghost ship and the prison ship, the thick fog on the sea did not pose much of a hindrance to these people, and they soon arrived at the battle area between the two ships.

However, when the plague-sending ships and sacrificial ships arrived, no ghost ships or prisoner ships were seen on the sea.

There was thick gray fog floating on the sea. If you lose the other party at this time, it will be difficult to find them again.

Just as everyone on the ship was using their own magical powers to search the sea area, suddenly a few screams broke the calm in the thick fog on the sea surface. Not long after, several people salvaged a large amount of hull fragments and deck fragments from the sea...
