"Haha, I can't help it. I've been through too many things. It's always right for me to take some precautions." Jiao Ba said coldly, still holding the gun in his hand, without letting down his guard at all.
Mr. Mai smiled and said, "It's really just a few of us. Take a good look." As he spoke, he raised his hands.
Jiao Ba then put down the gun, "I'm sorry, something happened, which made my brother and I a little nervous."
"What happened? "Where are Li Xin and the others?" Chang Shan walked over without saying a word.
I said with a cold face, "That's it. When we went back halfway, Li Xin and the others disappeared."
"What did you say? He disappeared? How could this big living person disappear?" When Mai Lao heard this, he was also surprised.
“Neither of us knew that he had disappeared when we went back. We searched all around and only found the bracelet left by Li Xin. There were no traces of blood or struggle nearby. Jiao Ba guessed that he might have been poisoned by incense or something, and then something took him away. The two of us followed the fork on the left and chased him all the way here. "I explained the matter simply. After a moment, he took out the bracelet that Li Xin had dropped.
Jenny took the bracelet and looked at it, and said nervously, "This is indeed Li Xin's. Oh my god, nothing will happen to her, right?"
Jiao Ba's this Shi opened his mouth and said, "It's hard to say. We don't know where they are at all. It seems that we can only search blindly.”
I cursed, “***, there’s not even a clue. If it’s easy to do it on this ship, I’m afraid I’ll turn him upside down. If it is moved to another ship, it will be troublesome.”
Chang Shan said calmly, "Don't worry, everyone. Think about it. The disappearance of Li Xin and the others is very likely to disrupt our thinking."
"Disrupting our thinking? What do you mean?" My mind was a little confused and I didn't understand what he meant.
“Brother Changshan’s meaning is very simple. Maybe the purpose of Li Xin’s disappearance is to interfere with our finding the coffin. If they are missing, we will definitely look for them. In this way, we will also take away the coffin. The matter was forgotten," Jiao Ba said.
"Are these two different things? Looking for a coffin and looking for a person, there is no conflict." Martin said casually.
"Please, use your brain to think carefully. If you find someone, it will definitely take a lot of effort. The coffin matter will be stranded in the final decision. It is easy to form such a situation. Not only people and coffins If they don’t find it, they might also take us in,” Chang Shan said unceremoniously.
"Brother Chang Shan is right. This will definitely interfere with our search for the coffin. Do you have any good ideas?" I asked anxiously. This is a matter of human life. Li Xin's disappearance makes me uneasy. Here It's really too complicated, so complicated that it's several times the size of a small island.
Chang Shan gathered us together and made the simplest gesture, which meant to continue looking for the coffin and throw away all other things. I also understood what he meant. Since the other party did not want us to find the coffin, Then we have to find it. Maybe this is the only way to rescue Li Xin and the others. We can only try if it works. After all, we have no other choice.
And Jiao Ba asked again at this time, "By the way, Mr. Mai, where did you come from?"
Mr. Mai pointed with a flashlight, "That's where you came down. There is a hatch above. "According to the direction Mai Lao pointed, this hatch is exactly opposite the hatch that Jiao Ba and I found. One is in the direction of the bow, and the other is in the direction of the stern. It is the cabin. the two extreme ends.
Jiao Ba squinted his eyes and said, "I understand, you guys came all the way here, but the road my brother-in-law and I took was a detour, but I can't figure out why this ancient ship How to design such a path?" He rubbed his chin and frowned in thought.
Mr. Mai hurriedly said, "Don't think about this now. We have to hurry up and find the coffin. Let's spread out and search this place."
But just as he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a sound coming from all around. There was a beautiful music (yue), and we were stunned. Where was the music coming from in this dark cabin? We stood there and looked around with our flashlights, but we couldn't see anything.
The sound is very elegant, very slow at first, but then it turns into some kind of melody. It seems to be the sound of Guqin playing. Yes, it is definitely the sound of Guqin. The sound of the Guqin echoes Throughout the cabin, my originally flustered heart slowly calmed down.
Then the sound of the pipa came again. The two instruments seemed to be communicating, playing an exciting and beautiful piece of music. This piece of music is very classical. Although I don’t know what it is, I But you can hear it, as if it is telling the feelings and wisdom of the ancients about music.
This music is sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, just like the water in the mountains, it circulates continuously. No matter how it flows, it will eventually return to the original point, in this dark and strange space. Here, the sweet sound of the piano seemed to be the most striking contrast, completely diluting the original terrifying aura, leaving only the lingering traces of affection.
At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly came again. When these multiple instruments were playing together, it seemed that the music was brought into the world. This beautiful music was like flying butterflies dancing in the air, and like bright sunshine. It is caressing the earth, and it is like clear spring water flowing in the mountains. Sometimes, it is like bright stars, twinkling in the night sky. It is really wonderful and makes people forget to leave.
I don’t know why, but when I heard this classical music playing, my whole body relaxed a lot, and the depression in my heart disappeared. I felt very comfortable, from the inside out. The feeling of comfort and fatigue seemed to disappear without a trace in this moment, as if reborn, making people feel happy and comfortable.
"What is this sound?" Martin asked in confusion.
“It’s the guqin and the pipa, but where did this sound come from?” Jenny replied softly.
"Everyone, stay where you are and be careful of everything around you." Mr. Mai always remained calm.
But I found that, except for him, all of us were intoxicated in this beautiful melody. Jenny and Martin actually closed their eyes and looked like they were enjoying the time.
Just when all of us were immersed in the beautiful and slightly sad sound of the piano, suddenly, I found there was light around me.
I took a closer look and was very surprised. There were lights all around the big cabin. Yes, they were lights, not torches, but copper kerosene lamps. The entire cabin lit up one by one, at least dozens of them, just enough to surround the entire cabin.
After all the lights were lit, the entire cabin returned from darkness to light in an instant. This was incredible. And after the cabin was lit, all of us were shocked by the scene in front of us. No one could believe that we would actually see such a beautiful picture.
This is no cabin at all. It is like a small palace. Although it is not as grand as the royal palace, the buildings here are no less than those of the palaces of princes and ministers.
The entire cabin is simply magnificent, with exquisite patterns carved on the surrounding bulkheads. There are dragons and phoenixes. The dragon is on top and the phoenix is on the bottom. The dragon and phoenix are tightly intertwined, which seems to symbolize the auspiciousness of the dragon and phoenix. It can be called It’s the craftsmanship of carved beams and painted pillars, it’s so beautiful.
The bottom of the boat is no longer wooden under our feet. Although it is not paved with gold bricks, it is shining with silver. I don’t know what it is at all. The silvery light is like silver. Just as dazzling, the first thing I thought of was white marble, which can be called magnificent.
In the middle of the cabin, there are six large pillars, but the strange thing is that these six pillars are actually square. Normally, the pillars of this ancient building are generally round, almost all of them are round. It is done with a straight tree and rarely with square pillars.
Especially this kind of palace-like building, there are very few, almost none, but it is these six square pillars that support the entire cabin, but these six square pillars look It looks even more majestic than a column. It's hard to describe this feeling. It seems like it can stand up to the sky and the earth, giving people a strong visual impression. I can't say that the entire cabin looks magnificent, but it is also one of a million.
What shocked us the most was that we were in the middle of the cabin. To our left, there was a row of beautiful and dignified women sitting. They were all wearing ancient clothes, and everyone’s face was Everyone is filled with smiles, but judging from the clothing, it should be the clothing of the Ming Dynasty. The clothing of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty is still relatively obvious, and it is the most essential difference from the Mongol Empire and the Manchu Dynasty.
In the middle, a graceful woman is playing the guqin. Regardless of her appearance or temperament, she is a stunning beauty. She is wearing a pink dress that seems to have patterns on it. In her every move, she looks like a beautiful woman. She exudes an irresistible charm. She looks directly at us, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. Her seductive eyes can charm thousands of men.
This woman can even be said to be extremely beautiful. This is no exaggeration at all. She is so perfect, so perfect that even women will be jealous and men will surrender. I have never seen such a beautiful woman. As for women, even if Jenny and Li Xin are compared with her, they are slightly inferior. Every move she made showed the highest talent and best cultivation of a woman at that time, and the music played by the guqin in her hands was even more outstanding. Every note stirred my heart. This For a moment, my heart suddenly surged. There was an indescribable excitement in my heart. My heartbeat kept accelerating. I was a little obsessed.
