Chapter 1643 The new crew of the ghost ship: the headless Taoist priest
"It's interesting."
Headless Jin An, holding a soul-inducing lantern in his hand, kept looking toward the seaport.
The curiosity in his heart urged him to go and find out.
Then, the headless Jin'an turned around and bowed towards the coffin behind him, saying his final farewells. This was because he did not want to involve the owner of the ship's coffin burial.
The current ghost ship is like the center of a whirlpool. Whether it is the underworld or the upper world, many experts are staring at the ghost ship.
If the Immortal Cauldron is really on the ghost ship, there will be a fierce fight between dragons and tigers.
During the fight, the sword had no eyes and there was a bloody disaster, so he didn't want to involve the ship's coffin burial.
After the headless Jin'an said goodbye, his figure jumped up and landed on the shore. He waved to the awning boat, indicating that he would go all the way and say goodbye. Then his figure exploded and rushed towards the seaport.
As soon as the headless Jin An stepped into the deserted port city, he immediately noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the air. He seemed to hear someone calling him, vaguely.
As we get closer to the sea, the call becomes clearer. It is the ghost ship calling the crew to board the ship.
Headless Jin An jumped up to a high tower in the huge port city and looked towards the sea. At this time, the underworld was shrouded in gray fog, especially the dead air on the sea was the heaviest, and the gray fog was thicker than inland.
But the call grew stronger.
Calling the stranded crew members to board the ship as soon as possible.
To a living person, this kind of call is like a reminder, urging people to hurry towards a desperate situation.
A ghost ship that has experienced a shipwreck and lost all its crew members is, in the eyes of living people, just a dangerous place that has opened the door to hell.
At this time, it was too late for Headless Jin An to abandon the ship and leave. However, he took advantage of his skill and was bold, not retreating but advancing, and continued to approach the seaside.
Just pretend that the headless Jin An has just walked out of the huge port city, phew!
The gray mist on the sea surged toward his location like an overwhelming mountain, and then he disappeared out of thin air, leaving behind his figure in the cinnabar scripture robe.
At the moment when Wutou Jin'an disappeared, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew on the calm sea, causing the clouds and mist to surge violently, making a roaring sound. Deep in the surging clouds and mist, it seemed that a group of blurry outlines was seen.
The ship is turning its sails and turning around, leaving the port and heading towards the depths of the ocean.
The ghost ship has picked up the missing crew and started to sail away.
The ghost ship was stained with blood, and the ship's deck was full of blood and sticky flesh and blood. There was no clean place to stay, and there was nowhere to stay.
This ghost ship was shipwrecked a long time ago and has been drifting on the ocean for who knows how long. The ship has a sense of age everywhere.
Sword cuts can be found on the hull, canvas, and every corner. Coupled with the sticky flesh and blood on the deck, it is not difficult to imagine that there was a bloodbath on this ship, and the crew were killing each other.
, killing people with a knife.
Because those sword cuts left deep marks on the wooden beams and pillars.
There are so many strange things about this ship. Except for the sticky flesh and blood on the deck and the traces of sword fights, the whole ship is completely silent. Even the cabin doors and windows have been nailed and sealed from the outside, so that wind and waves cannot enter the cabin.
At the same time, it also sealed the connection between the inside and the outside world.
But after the gaps in the doors and windows were nailed shut, blood and water mixed with seawater kept leaking out.
The sea was rough and rough, and the ghost ship crashed into a wall of waves. The seawater lapped on the deck. It was unclear whether the blood seeped from the cabin or was the blood diluted when the seawater washed away the sticky flesh on the deck.
On every sealed door and window, there are bunches of garlic and some strange bottles and jars hung. When the ghost ship sails in the wind and waves, these garlic and strange jars are also swaying in the wind. Folk garlic to ward off evil spirits
, the nailed doors and windows, the constant seepage of blood, all these details seem to prove that there is something terrifying and difficult to deal with sealed behind the cabin.
No matter how far apart the regions or civilizations are, people at home and abroad have the custom of using garlic to ward off evil spirits.
For example, there is a folk custom in Kangding called "garlic top". During the spring rain and plum rain season, hanging a few bunches of garlic in the house can effectively drive away evil spirits, cold and insects.

The sudden sound of footsteps broke the dead silence on the ghost ship, and a wisp of green candlelight lit up the ship, which was originally as dark as a hell.
That wisp of green candlelight was placed on the ship and on the sea. It was tiny and insignificant, as if it would be destroyed by the wind and waves at any time.
Snap.
Snap.
The footsteps continued, stepping on the old deck, and the wooden boards creaked and rubbed together, much like the painful groans of an ailing old man.
As the green candlelight hangs on the wooden railing, dispelling the darkness and illuminating a space, a headless Taoist priest stands behind the rudder.
The headless Taoist priest put his hands on the rudder, trying to control the ghost ship. Even though the rudder was badly damaged and most of the rudder was missing, it still did not affect the steering of the ship.
The rudder of the ship is turning, but the person at the helm is not the headless Taoist priest, but the ghost ship itself.
No matter how hard the headless Taoist priest tried, he just couldn't turn the rudder.
When the headless Taoist priest saw that the rudder was running on its own and was not controlled by external forces, he gave up his plan to gain control of the ghost ship and began to look at more details of the ship, looking for opportunities to return to shore.
The broken part of the rudder was not flat, and it looked like someone had chopped off most of it with an axe, and was deliberately destroyed.
Maybe someone wanted this ship to get out of control, and didn't want this unknown ship to be steered and docked in the port.
The headless Taoist priest in front of me is naturally the headless Jin'an.
This ghost ship has a large range of influence. He has just left the giant port city and is already standing on the ghost ship inexplicably. There is no need for him to board the ship.
As a person involved, he didn't even know how to get on the ship. Everything was too sudden and too fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived on the ghost ship. This sudden change was beyond his surprise.
The headless Taoist priest moved his eyes away from the rudder. Since he was temporarily unable to control the helm, he began to look at other details of the ghost ship and find clues related to the Gelwu Immortal Cauldron.
He quickly noticed the doors and windows that were nailed and sealed with layers of wooden boards, as well as the strings of garlic hanging on the door and window frames.
Although he was surprised to be forced to board the ship suddenly, he was able to move freely on the ghost ship without restrictions, which was a good thing after all.
It was the sticky flesh and blood on the deck that was both sticky and slippery, like walking on thick ink, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to lift his feet to see how much flesh and blood was stuck to the soles, but long strings appeared on the soles.
Flesh and blood, the smell of blood hits your nose.
