"Would you like to go up and take a look?" Bing Zhixie looked at the crescent moon that had risen directly above the mast, and the cold light reflected the sand into patches of blue.
Shakhan said: "You are so brave. A ship with such a weird atmosphere is not a place to enter casually."
"You'd better not go up casually."
A melodious male voice sounded outside the Sensen Ghost Ship, and the Moonlight Dragon let out a warning roar before falling to the ground.
Shakhan and Bing Zhixie saw a man wearing a black leather coat and black leather gloves walking towards them in the wind. He was wearing a feathered hat, holding down his silver curly hair, and his waist was slanted.
Carrying a slender sword, his long boots stepped on the sand, making a gentle grinding sound.
"who?"
The man said leisurely: "I have no ill intentions, don't be nervous."
"Who are you?" Shakhan asked, the purple dragon sword on his back was already stuck on the ground.
"Winedin." The man said three words briefly and stopped ten meters away from them.
"You want us not to go up there?"
Venedin said: "If you go up there, you may not be able to come back."
"Oh, why? Is there anything special about it?"
Venedin looked up at the ship. The old mast creaked. He said: "This is probably an ancient ship that was exiled. It wanders in the turbulence of time and space and has been trapped inside for who knows how many years."
.It is a ghost ship. It comes and goes without a sound. No matter who gets on this ship, it will be taken to another world, a world that does not belong to us. It may be the underworld or purgatory.
Huangquan."
"Is there really such a thing in the world?" Shakhan was curious and suspicious. He asked: "You seem to know this ship very well?"
"I don't understand." Venedin said, "That's all I know."
Shakhan looked at the boat and pondered to himself.
Bing Zhixie still had doubts about this and asked: "Why does it appear here? Its appearance is not a coincidence."
Venedin pointed to the moon with his left hand and said, "Please look there."
"Huh?" Bing Zhixie looked up at the moon and saw that the crescent moon was missing a corner, as if it had been bitten by something. He was a little surprised: "Lunar eclipse?" The missing corner behind the crescent moon was only a small one.
Part of it, without looking carefully, I thought it was obscured by clouds: "What does this have to do with the ghost ship?"
Venedin said: "Probably the ghost ship was affected by both the lunar eclipse and the Sand Temple."
Bing Zhixie had some realization: "So the appearance and disappearance of the Sand Temple are also related to this?"
Venedin smiled and said nothing.
Shakhan asked again: "Who are you?"
"A person who shouldn't be alive."
Bing Zhixie said angrily: "Stop playing tricks with me. Were you the one who left footprints next to the remains of the Huanyan Troll during the day?"
"Yes, it's me."
Bing Zhixie saw the sword beside him: "Did you kill the Huanyan Troll?"
"No." Venedin said: "It was already dead when I came here. I only got here one night earlier than you."
"Are you also here for the Sand Temple?" Shakhan asked.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly hit, and the wind fell to the ground. When he saw Venedin, he was unexpectedly startled.
Bing Zhixie looked at Gale Wind.
Gale said: "I see you haven't gone back, so I thought something happened. Hey!" He blinked and looked in the direction of the giant ship.
Bing Zhixie saw that the shadow of the sail on the sand was disappearing. She turned around suddenly and saw that the huge ship with a height of more than ten stories had suddenly disappeared. She only saw an afterimage of the hull before it finally disappeared.
The ship disappeared as silently as it came. Venedin sighed quietly: "It is like a scheduled ferry. If it does not wait for new passengers, it will leave empty and return to the netherworld." After that,
His body suddenly floated back, and a large cloak floated out from behind his shoulders: "You shouldn't come to the Sand Temple, you can't enter that place." After saying that, the cloak completely wrapped his body and disappeared faintly into the night sky.
, just like when the ghost ship left.
Now look at the moon in the sky, the little bit of partial lunar eclipse has disappeared, and the crescent moon has returned to its complete shape.
Gale wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Bing Zhixie: "This place is too mysterious. Let's go back to the airship first."
The three of them returned to the Fuxing airship, and after confirming with Lace on the airship that nothing happened, they did not get on the airship and chatted about what had just happened in the shelter outside the airship.
After learning about their situation, Hayate said, "I know that person just now." He told Bing about the shameful incident of being blackmailed away by that person. He thought he would be ridiculed by Bing.
The result was disappointing.
The three of them sat quietly on the sand, recalling what the man just said. This Venedin seemed to know a lot, but he kept half of what he said, making it impossible to guess his true identity.
After one night, at dawn the next day, Shakhan collected Ayub's bones, found a place to bury them, and carved a stone tablet. Alice and the others didn't know what happened last night, so they were waiting
Tyson's airship has arrived. Based on the time and distance, it will probably arrive here this morning.
Bing Zhixie and Gao Feng prepared the items needed to enter the Sand Temple. Both of them had a basic introduction to space magic, so they could still do it by simply storing some things. However, Bing Zhixie was still worried about Weinedin's words, especially
The phrase 'you can't enter that place'. After experiencing the ghost ship incident last night, he felt that the Sand Temple was probably not a place that one could just enter casually. It might be completely different from all the previous tombs of Princess Glonus.
.If it is true, as Venedin said, that he cannot enter the Sand Temple, then this trip to find the temple will be in vain, and he will have to wait forty-four years for the next opportunity.
During breakfast, Bing Zhixie and Ruola talked about the ghost ship. Alice was very surprised when she heard it. Ruola was more concerned about the statues of angels and devils. She asked, "Can you describe that ship to me?"
Is there anything special about the shape of the giant ship?"
Bing Zhixie said: "The shape of the ship is indeed a bit special. I can't tell you many details because it was night and Shakhan and I didn't have time to observe the hull carefully. When the partial lunar eclipse disappeared, the ship also disappeared."
Ruola said: "The characteristics of ships are also an important entry point for studying ancient civilizations. Knowing the characteristics of a ship, you can judge the era it came from. Although the current historical understanding of ancient civilizations is very thin and incomplete, even
There may be ancient civilizations that have not been discovered, and ancient countries that have disappeared. But as long as you study carefully, it is possible to find its source from the broken information."
Shakhan suddenly asked: "By the way, Miss Ruola, do you know about Jah's Demon Cave? The name feels very familiar to me, but I can't remember where I have heard or seen this word."
"Jah's Demon Cave...Jah's Demon's Cave...Jah..." Ruola repeated the word several times and shook his head: "I have an impression of the name Jah. This impression should come from Bem, who is related to angels and devils.
Special culture. Unfortunately, there are very few book records related to Bemut in historical archeology. Most of what I know comes from my teacher’s notes.”
