The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with clouds, and lightning flashed through the clouds like snakes. The behemoth Qi Yue speeded up the sea, riding the wind and waves.
In such weather, it is really difficult to distinguish between day and night.
After receiving the order from Master Han, Xiao Hai, who had followed the ship's boss for many years, immediately ran to the wheelhouse.
As a result, it suddenly rained heavily.
It was raining heavily and he was walking against the wind. He almost fell to the ground and couldn't help complaining about the weather.
He had been on the Qiyue for many years, and he rarely asked the ship to slow down, and he didn't know what the situation was today.
Xiaohai came to the captain's room and saw the captain standing in front of the helm with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After following the ship boss for so many years, Xiaohai would feel at ease just looking at him.
After all, not everyone has six toes, not everyone is born to thrive on the sea, and not everyone has been sailing for decades without ever having an accident.
The boat boss is such a person. The boat he drives is always as stable as his six toes gripping the ground.
At this time, Xiaohai knocked on the door gently.
The boat boss didn't look back, he just moved his rough fingers.
This is a habit that the ship boss has developed over the years.
Xiaohai entered the house and saw that the house was wet.
The boss of the ship needs to observe the sea conditions, so the windows of the helm room are usually not closed.
Yes, when the weather is calm, the captain is very comfortable, sitting and drinking tea in this spacious room.
But when a storm comes, the boss of the ship has to steer the ship in heavy rain, which is very hard.
At this time, the captain of the ship said, "Xiao Hai, what's the matter?"
Xiaohai said: "The fourth young master gave an order to slow down the ship?"
The ship boss turned around, his face reflected in the dim firelight, looking a little thin.
"Why?"
The young master of Qianjilou rarely interferes with navigation matters.
Xiaohai gasped and said: "It is said that some people say that there may be icebergs ahead, and they are worried about hitting them."
The boss of the ship showed a dry smile and said: "The fourth young master has not drunk too much, right? Do you believe this kind of thing?"
Xiaohai shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem like it, but boss, since it is the young master's order, should we..."
The boss of the ship shook his head, went to the middle of the room, opened a wooden lid, and said to a wooden pipe below: "Let the formation master adjust the formation and slow down."
After a while, the speed of the Qiyue dropped a bit.
The wind and rain gradually subsided, the ship's speed also slowed down, and the originally tense and depressing atmosphere in the helm room relaxed a lot.
The boat boss twisted his neck, burned three sticks of incense on the statue, and said, "Xiao Hai, make a pot of tea."
Xiao Hai nodded, skillfully took out the stove in the room, lit the fire and boiled water.
The burning stove brought warmth. Xiaohai rubbed his hands and felt very comfortable.
After the water was boiled, Xiao Hai carefully grabbed the tea leaves into the teacup, rinsed it with boiling water, and handed it to the boat boss.
The captain of the boat took the old carved wood tea cup and blew lightly on it without drinking.
The only candlelight in the cabin stretched his shadow very long, making him look a little stooped.
Suddenly, something black flashed past outside.
Xiaohai was startled and said, "What is that?"
The boat boss said nothing and continued to drink tea.
Xiaohai took a look and found that the captain's back was a bit hunched.
The other party kept his mouth buried in the tea, as if he could never finish the sip of tea.
The atmosphere became a little weird for a moment, and Xiao Hai couldn't help but look at the door, only to hear a bang, and Xiao Hai was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
The door that was originally open suddenly closed!
It was as if an invisible person had just closed the door.
You must know that at this time, there is no wind in the whole room.
The boat boss, who had been drinking tea, seemed to wake up from a dream and murmured: "Xiao Hai, what did you just say?"
Xiaohai said: "Boss, I said the wind was so strong just now, but it came and went quickly."
The captain laughed, his smile a little yellowed in the candlelight.
"Where is the wind?"
Outside the window, another tall and thin black figure passed by the big ship, and the small sea chrysanthemum tightened again.
At this time, the boss of the ship stood up and asked in surprise: "What was outside just now?"
Xiaohai said tremblingly: "Boss, it looks like a pillar. It just appeared once."
It was cloudy outside, and there was nothing except the undulating waves of the blue water.
The ship boss looked strange and said: "How come there are pillars in a place like this?"
Yes, this sea area is so far away from the shore. It is a real deep water area. If there is a pillar, how long must the pillar be to stand on the water?
In other words, that pillar was originally floating on the water?
The boat boss kept staring out the window and suddenly said: "Xiaohai, have you ever heard of the Dragon Pillar?"
Xiaohai looked uneasy and shook his head.
The captain of the ship took a sip of tea, looked solemn and said nervously: "According to legend, there is a dragon pillar on the sea, which is connected to the palace of King Jiao. If you encounter it, you must get out of the way immediately, otherwise it will make King Jiao Dragon angry."
At this time, the speed of the big ship became even lower.
The candles in the room were burning, stretching the shadow of the ship boss very long.
Listening to the ship boss's story, Xiao Hai felt flustered for a moment.
Is there really a Dragon King?
The atmosphere suddenly became strangely tense.
At this time, Xiaohai immediately pointed out the window and said: "Boss, there is another one!"
Because the ship's speed slowed down, this time, the time for observing this dark thing could not help but become longer.
Under the dark sky, the dark thing really looked like a stone pillar with a big head and a small body.
For some reason, Xiao Hai always had the illusion that this pillar was looking at him, and his hairs stood up involuntarily.
How can a pillar see people?
At this moment, a bolt of lightning fell, reflecting the appearance of the black pillar.
Xiaohai was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and screamed: "There is a face on the pillar!"
Yes, there is a face carved above this pillar.
The face is very thin, and the eyes are slightly narrowed, as if they are really staring at you.
Xiaohai has been out at sea for so many years and has never seen anything like this before. He only felt that the evil gate was tight and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
The boss of the ship sailed very steadily. The Qiyue Ship was the largest and strongest ship in the Qi Kingdom and would never sink. He had lived here peacefully for more than ten years and liked it very much.
This place is more like another home. The companions on the boat are his brothers, and the boss of the boat is his master and father.
The boss of the ship frowned and said with a surprised look on his face: "Face, what kind of face?"
The next moment, Xiaohai's pupils shrank into two dark spots, and his breathing almost stopped.
The flickering candlelight reflected the captain's thin face, which was almost exactly the same as the face on the pillar.
