Chapter 91 The Death Song in the Fog (5)
"Ghost ship!" Boss Feng squeezed out these two words through his teeth.

Boss Feng told the legend of the ghost ship to the two of them, and they looked at each other, seeing each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.They all deduced the truth of this horror legend in this short moment: the ghost ship does exist, but it is not a ghost that kidnaps the living as slaves as in the rumors, but a ghost ship that snatches the dead. A corpse dancer used as a corpse servant.The thick fog was mostly created by secret techniques to conceal people's eyes, and in the fog, there were other helpers who helped him turn the living into the dead first.As for many people swearing that they will see relatives who have been missing for decades on the ghost ship, and they will look the same as before, which is nothing surprising, because the dead do not grow old.

"The viciousness of this corpse dancer is no less than that of Sumeru." Xue Huaiqing murmured.

"Then what is his strength? Who do you think is stronger, he or Xu Mizi?" An Xingmian said.

"There may be hundreds of passengers on that ship," Xue Huaiqing said, "If all of them are controlled by a corpse dancer, this kind of corpse dance... I'm afraid it will be stronger than Sumeru."

An Xingmian took a breath: "A corpse dancer who is stronger than Sumeru... The luck of the two of us is really good, and we met along the way are all untouchables. Such a corpse dancer Joining forces with Mr. Yuwen, I'm afraid we really have to ask Tianqi for help to survive."

"Actually, I don't have time to think about this right now," Xue Huaiqing said with a sweet and wicked smirk on her face, "What I'm thinking about is, if Xu Mizi knows about this, what will the old man do?" What about the reaction?"

Although the situation in front of him was quite unclear and seemed to be full of dangers, Xue Huaiqing's words still made An Xingmian laugh out loud.He imagined Xumizi's stinky face blowing his beard and staring at an opponent stronger than him, and felt that this was really the most wonderful picture in the world.

Of course, even if Xu Mizi's stinky face can be seen, it will be a long time later, and the immediate matter is what matters.Although Boss Feng is usually bold and bold, when it comes to this ghost ship that has been passed down for a long time, it is inevitable that he feels uneasy.

"Are you really sure that it's just a corpse dancer?" He asked mutteringly, "What if it's really a demon? No matter how powerful I am, I'm just an ordinary person, and I still can't fight demons."

"There are no real monsters in this world," An Xingmian patted him on the shoulder, "Monsters are only in people's hearts."

"You learned people just like to talk in a cloud," Boss Feng complained. "Then what should we do now? Rush up to fight the ghost ship?"

An Xingmian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You were terrified of the last sentence, and you turned your head and went up again desperately...Of course not, we still don't know anything about ghost ships, so let's follow from afar."

"It will definitely be discovered," Xue Huaiqing said, "If it is really a corpse dancer, at least the eyesight will not be worse than mine."

"That has to be followed," An Xingmian said firmly, "It's so easy to bump into it, how can I miss it so easily?"

Not long after, the singing of the death song stopped, and the sea fog quickly dissipated. It was because the corpse dancer had removed the secret technique of manipulating the weather.At this time, farther away, a small boat was leaving at high speed.

"Young Master Yuwen should be on board," An Xingmian said, "Let's let him go and just chase the ghost ship. Master Feng, since the situation has changed, I..."

"Needless to say," Boss Feng waved his hand, "Let's chase after him. Don't mention the extra money. I'm also very curious. I want to find out the true face of this ghost ship. If this legend that has been passed down for decades If it is settled, we will have more face in this sea area in the future."

An Xingmian smiled and said no more.The pirate ship crossed the sea that was still covered with residual fog just now, and began to change targets to chase the ghost ship.Strangely, the ghost ship didn't head south toward Lanzhou, nor north toward Ningzhou, but started heading west.Boss Feng was a little puzzled: "Could it be that this is also a pirate who occupies the island and becomes king like me?"

"According to the legend, the ships looted by ghost ships are only missing people, but they never lose anything," An Xingmian said, "Don't you steal things as a pirate?"

"That's right," Boss Feng scratched his scalp, and suddenly became dazed, "That's right! It must be a human trafficker!"

An Xingmian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Human traffickers have to sell living people, too? Do you use dead people to carve out bones and sell meat?"

Boss Feng scratched his head again: "That's true..."

In any case, having this thick-lined Boss Feng gagging aside, it can quite relieve some of the tense atmosphere.Although everyone was talking and joking, they knew very well in their hearts that what they were chasing was an unheard-of monster, whose cruelty and ferocity were probably no less than that of Sumeru, and as Xue Huaiqing said, this monster must have known about their pursuit .What will happen next, I can only pray to God for blessing.

The ghost ship has been moving unhurriedly, which made An Xingmian have another idea: it intentionally let the pirate ship follow.The owner of this ghost ship is probably planning some kind of conspiracy, preparing to attack and kill the stalkers.Although there are a large group of brave and skilled pirates around, they don't know what kind of abilities the ghost ship owner has and how many helpers he has around him.

The sky was getting brighter, Boss Feng looked at the compass, and felt a little uneasy: "The sea area ahead has always been bad weather, and ships often sink, so many ships would rather take a detour. Could it be... the owner of the ghost ship?" conspiracy?"

As if to confirm this sentence, the sky that had just lit up suddenly darkened again, black clouds piled up rapidly, and there was a faint roar of lightning.An Xingmian suddenly came to his senses: "If he can create a sea fog, he can also create a thunderstorm! Let's leave as soon as possible!"

But it seems a bit late.For a short time, the gathered dark clouds obscured the sky, and then were torn apart by lightning.There was a strong wind on the sea, restless waves rolled up wildly, and the pirate ship began to bump violently.The pirates were used to this kind of weather, because they would take advantage of the bad weather to rob, so they quickly tied ropes to fix their bodies and continued to stick to their posts.The pirate ship struggled to turn around and accelerate in the turbulent waves. Although the ship's body tilted again and again, An Xingmian suspected that it might capsize at any time, but it still gradually left this dangerous area.

What a powerful secret technique!An Xingmian thought, it is unlikely that such a large-scale storm, thunder and lightning was manipulated by a mystic, that is to say, the owner of the ghost ship and his accomplices.The reason why he lured the pirate ship here was probably to use the strength of his accomplices to wipe out the pursuers in one fell swoop.Fortunately, I woke up early, and the pirates' navigation skills are very good, so I barely escaped the danger.

At least, it will take some time to create a large vortex with secret techniques. Through the torrential rain, An Xingmian looked at the ever-expanding vortex in the sea area that he just left, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.But at this moment, a pirate hurriedly ran from the bottom of the bilge to the deck with a look of panic on his face: "It's not good! The bottom of the ship is leaking!"

"Nonsense! How could Lao Tzu's boat leak!" Boss Feng grabbed the other party's skirt anxiously.

"It's true!" the pirate wailed, "I don't know why, but there are two big holes in the bilge, which can't be blocked at all! Boss... our ship is going to sink! It's going to sink!"

Boss Feng flew into a rage, regardless of 21, he slapped the pirate who reported the letter face to face.Working under Boss Feng, it was common for innocent people to be slapped across the face.The problem was that even if he slapped the pirate a hundred times, his swollen face would not be able to plug the hole in the bottom of the ship.

"Drag out the escaped sampan, and let the couple go up first!" Although Boss Feng's words were rough and careless, the content of this sentence surprised An Xue and the two of them, and then they were quite angry. Some moved.An Xingmian's first reaction was to refuse, but thinking of Xue Huaiqing in her heart, she couldn't utter the words that were on her lips.He couldn't help but think of what Xue Huaiqing said to him the day before.

"Stick to your inner beliefs, that's the kind of you I like." Xue Huaiqing said to him at that time.

If it was in the past, although An Xingmian often didn't know what his beliefs were, as long as they were the principles he had established, he would stick to them unswervingly.However, since last fall, he has gradually found that his principles have become less firm.Or to put it another way, he seems to have only one criterion left, which is how to benefit Xue Huaiqing, how to protect Xue Huaiqing, and how to make Xue Huaiqing happy.For this rule, other rules seem to be discarded, and once this rule is violated, he will feel great regret in his heart, just like the time he didn't kill Boss Feng before.

He was hesitating when he suddenly felt that Xue Huaiqing was holding his hand. When he turned his head, Xue Huaiqing was smiling: "I know you don't want to abandon your companions and go up by yourself, and I don't want to, but you still can't tell This boss Feng's donkey temper? As a result of the dispute, no one can escape."

An Xingmian suddenly realized that for a moment, he felt a faint sweat on his back.What's wrong with me?He thought, why can't I react to such a simple fact?Is it because there are too many worries in my heart, and instead I lose the true color of wisdom?
At that moment, he had a strange feeling that he had practiced Nagato's Heart Sutra for so many years, just to get rid of the burden on his mind and seek the ultimate relief, but now it seems that he can't be a qualified Nagato. Monk, because I already have something in my heart that cannot be removed.

He was thinking wildly in his heart, but he didn't stop walking. He obeyed Boss Feng's arrangement and was about to take Xue Huaiqing to jump onto the sampan. The brother's body, but Boss Feng suddenly yelled strangely: "Wait a minute! No need to go up! We're saved!"

An Xingmian looked up, and saw another fast boat sailing from a distance, similar in style to the pirate ship everyone was riding on now.Boss Feng laughed loudly, and regained his airs: "That's the brats on my island, seeing that I'm not going back, they sent a boat out to find me!"

An Xingmian let out a long sigh of relief, only then did he have the time to look in another direction.There, the storm was still sharp, and the ghost ship had long since disappeared without a trace, as if it had been swallowed whole by the great vortex.

"I have to start from scratch again," An Xingmian sighed, "It seems that I really shouldn't be a long-door monk. I have been trapped in that damned curse for the rest of my life and cannot escape."

"What curse?" Xue Huaiqing asked curiously.

"Life is an endless series of long gates," An Xingmian said, "Now I'm starting to realize this."
