Chapter 23: The Technique of Watching the Stars and Fixing the Pulse

The shocking scene just now made all of us feel cold. I suddenly felt that it was not as simple as guns, we at least need to equip rocket launchers or even cruisers.

The second uncle stuttered a little when he spoke, "Old, Lao Lei, let's go quickly! The giant octopus was killed instantly, and we don't have enough for it."

Lao Leitou was more calm, "It's okay, don't worry. That giant fish of type looks down on us. The sea has its own rules. This kind of marine creature has its own target and generally does not attack humans easily. But it's not harmful to be careful." As he said that, Lao Leitou entered the cockpit, accelerated the ship, and drove out of this sea area.

We followed the trajectory of the storm, and it did not slowly dissipate until noon the next day. We finally broke free from the storm's shackles. We returned to our original route.

After discussing with Lao Leitou, the second uncle decided to go to Wufeng Island for a rest before continuing. We need to take a look at the damaged cargo, and Lao Leitou will inspect and repair the damaged hull of the storm.

At this time, the sea was calm and we were driving very smoothly. It was not long, so we saw the island in front of us. This is the Windless Island. But from afar, we saw a ship that was stranded on a small reef very close to the island. Judging from the newness and oldness of the hull, the ship must have had an accident for not long, and maybe it was the victim of this storm.

As Lao Leitou said, when we approached the Windless Island, we found that there were indeed many open and dark reefs here. If we had come here rashly during the storm, we might have ended up being the same as that ship.

However, under the current climate, with Lao Leitou's experience and skills, it is really easy to pass through these reefs.

When we were still a little far from the island, we stopped the boat. Lao Lei got off the anchor and fixed the boat.

Because the sea water here is already shallow, if our boat drives further in, it may hit the bottom. So we decided to take a kayak to the island.

The four of us were sitting in a kayak. When we passed the stranded ship, Lao Leitou told us that most of the hull of the ship was stranded on the reef. Judging from the situation, it should have been rushed here by the huge waves during the storm. The hull hit the reef heavily, and the ship was completely scrapped.

We walked around the side of the ship, and Uncle Er shouted a few words to the cabin: "Is there anyone?" But no one responded at all.

"Maybe the people on the boat have gone to the island." I guess, "Would we have to get on the boat first?"

Lao Lei waved his hand, "I'd better not to do it first. If the people on the boat are on the island, we will rashly get on the boat, which may cause unnecessary conflicts."

I nodded, thinking that Lao Lei’s words made sense. We think it would be better to go to the island first.

It is called an island here, but it is actually a huge reef. The windless island is not large in area. It is estimated that it is about ten acres. You can see it at a glance when you stand on the island. It is precisely because of this that we can be sure that there is no one on the island. It also means that the people on the ship are not on the island. Have they left?

After Lao Lei sent the three of us to the island, he returned to the boat to check the damage to the hull. The three of us stayed on the island and set up tents. To be honest, I really miss this feeling of land. In the words of the second uncle, he felt like he was shaking when he stepped on the ground. Therefore, we decided to camp on the island tonight.

Although the air can clearly feel the chill due to the seasons. However, the storm just passed and the weather was very good. We stood on the island and watched. It was evening. The ripples on the sea reflected the orange-red and round sunset. After a while, the sunset covered the clouds, making the day burn red. I couldn't help but think of Liu Yuxi's poem in the Tang Dynasty: The rain stopped and the sunset was bright, the wind was clear, the night view was clear, the moon was high and the clouds were faint, the clouds were thin and thin. In addition, the sky in Shanghai was boundless, which really made people feel relaxed and happy!

Just as I was still immersed in this magnificent beauty, I suddenly heard Lao Lei's shout coming from the shore: "Come on, come! There is a dead person in that boat!"

I was shocked and hurriedly followed my second uncle and Wenmo to the shore.

When Lao Lei saw us, he said breathlessly: "I, when I was repairing the boat, I found that there was a part missing. I wondered if there would be one in the boat. Anyway, I wouldn't want it. I planned to get on the boat and look for it. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the cabin, I saw someone lying inside. I called him a few times, but didn't respond, so I reached out to breathe. Oh my god! I'm so angry! Didn't I run out quickly now?"

Actually, I didn't feel that it was too surprised. After all, there was an accident on the ship and it was possible that there were casualties. However, although Lao Leitou was an old fisherman and had experienced more things in the sea, the dead were not as good as those of us, so he was very panicked.

So we decided to go over and take a look with him, and the three of us took a kayak and rowed towards the stranded boat.

When I boarded the boat, I saw a man lying straight on the ground as soon as I entered the cabin. When I saw the man's face, my heart was overturned. I looked at my second uncle and his face also changed.

Because of the dead man lying on the ground, I had seen the second uncle. I remembered the one Mr. An met in the hotel. The dead man was one of the two bodyguards around Mr. An.

The second uncle sighed and said, "It seems we have met an acquaintance."

I asked my second uncle: "Where is that Master An? There is no on the boat, nor on the island."

The second uncle sneered, "This old fox must have both preparations. There are definitely more than one ship they go to sea."

I was a little worried, "Then we..."

Uncle Er waved his hand, "Don't worry, the destination is the same anyway, and you will meet sooner or later. Worrying is useless. Take one step at a time, and it may not be certain who can find it alive!"

Wen Mo squatted down and carefully looked at the person on the ground. He found a serious scar on the back of his head. We speculated that this should be a fatal injury. It should be that when a person fell down, he hit the back of his head and died.

People are really fragile. A person who was still alive two days ago was still drinking tea together. Although this person is enemies and not friends, I still couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Suddenly, Wen Mo, who was squatting on the ground, said "Huh" and saw him lower his head and take out a roll of things like drawings from the cracks in the box.

At this time, Old Lei said, "While you are here, I will go to the back cabin to find out if there is anything useful." After that, he left.

After Lao Lei left, we opened the roll of drawings, and then we realized that this was not a drawing at all, it was a map. But it was not an ordinary road map, but a terrain of the submarine continental shelf.

Now we didn't understand very much, so I said, "Can they come for the scientific test?"

The second uncle spat, "Yuan's old rake, is he coming to the scientific research? Unless the tombs in the world are hollowed out by him!" The second uncle rolled up the map again and put it in, "Forget it, I will study it slowly after going back."

At this time, Lao Leitou also found the parts he needed, and we didn't find anything else, so we left the ship. We first returned to our ship, took some ingredients and pots to go back to the island to make a fire and cook.

But Lao Lei didn't plan to get off the boat. He said he had to stay and watch the boat so that people would not come again at night and we didn't know that we drove the boat away. In addition, he said that he was old and he was a little tired after more than two days of hard work, so he slept more peacefully on the boat. In addition, there were spare alcohol stoves and pots on the boat, so we didn't have to worry. We repeatedly invited him, but Lao Lei refused, so we stopped insisting and told him to rest early and returned to the island.

That night, we had a great time, eating hot pot and drinking. After drinking enough wine, Wenmo got into the tent and went to sleep. I felt that going to bed so early was really a waste of time. My second uncle and I were lying on the mat, looking at the stars in the sky.

The second uncle pointed to a star in the sky and asked, "Big nephew, do you know what star it is?"

I was a little dizzy when I drank, so I said casually: "North Star?"

"Nonsense!" Uncle Second waved his hand.

I took a look again, "It can't be the Big Dipper!"

"Fuck!" Uncle Er stood up and glared at me, "You guy is so embarrassing to us Zhonglang General Qiu!"

I was a little curious, "What's the matter with us Zhonglang Faqiu?"

The second uncle jumped up as soon as he heard this, "What does it matter?! It's so big! I think it's necessary to tell you, let's have a skill of star-gazing and meridian-determining techniques!"

"Stargazing and determining the pulse?"

"Yes!" Uncle Er nodded heavily, his face full of pride, "That is the secret technique of our General Faqiu Zhonglang!! It is known as the ancestor of all kinds of techniques! It was passed down from ancient times!"

Speaking of this, Uncle Er was very interested and told in detail about the art of star-gazing and meridian determination in Faqiu's sect...

As the name suggests, star-gazing and vein determination is to determine the trend of the world's veins by observing astrological signs. Faqiu Yimen believes that the shifts of stars in the sky are closely related to various human activities.

The five elephant positions in the sky correspond to the five directions of the east, south, north, and middle on the earth. The twelve main stars correspond to the twelve months, and the twelve earth wheel stars correspond to the twelve hours.

The sky is like a dome, the earth is like a chessboard, the sky is round and the place is connected, and it is connected over and over again, and it is endless. The art of star-watching and determining the meridians believes that the heaven and earth return to the original body is one, the heavenly vein correspond to the earthly vein, and the heavenly vein corresponds to the earthly vein. The heavenly stars rotate and drive the earthly vein aura. That is, the heavenly time moves, the place is right, and the people are harmonious.
