Eight hundred and forty-four chapters ghost ship rumors
"Reporting to the prince, that's not necessarily the case." A strange-looking old man in the field responded loudly.
This old man is one of the nine members of the Yaohe Society. His name is Ban Mulun. He is a well-known elder in the coastal area of Dongfu. He was originally quite old and wanted to live in seclusion. However, he was attracted by these business travelers.
After being jointly recommended by the aristocratic families, he had no choice but to join the Yaohe Association and contribute to the alliance city Shangfu.
"Oh, Mr. Ban, please speak."
"The theory of ghost ships has been around for a long time, and most of the book records are separated by a period of sixty years.
However, if we include those along the coast that have not been recorded, they are just stories passed down orally from generation to generation by fishermen and merchants.
Your Majesty, in fact, there is no definite rule for the time when ghost ships appear. It may be three to five years, or it may be ten or twenty years.
But as Mr. Fan said, wherever a ghost ship appears, there will definitely be a disaster of blood and light, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, just like every time a ghost ship goes through this world, it has to harvest a lot of lives before it is willing to give up."
Li Luo pondered slightly, nodded slightly and said: "As Mr. Ban said, it is very possible. Book records tend to be preconceived. It is possible that later generations were influenced by the previous books. Originally, it was nothing.
The connections are strong and they are put together."
After Li Luo finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then asked Congfu and Jiu Cai'er harmoniously, "Le Jin, Miss Jiu, are there any such rumors in your East China Sea?"
Congfu frowned, glanced at the silent Dagan Business Traveler, and responded softly: "There is no such thing as a ghost ship, but from his description, it seems to be a ghost ship in the East China Sea."
"Soul-holding ship?"
"Well, you have seen the soul-drawing ship and the soul-drawing flag."
Li Luo's mind moved slightly and he nodded. If a warship in the East China Sea encounters a disaster and knows that there is no chance of survival, his fellow soldiers will still put down a ship and a flag to guide the separated brothers and sisters or the spirits of the dead back to their hometown.
On that day, Li Luo went to the East China Sea as an envoy, and encountered a natural disaster in which a dragon was sucked into the sea. After surviving the disaster, Cong Fu once put down the soul-inducing flags, so Li Luo was not unfamiliar with soul-inducing ships and soul-inducing flags.
"The soul-catching ship and the soul-guiding ship are exactly the opposite. The soul-catching ship guides the souls of the dead soldiers back to their hometowns, while the soul-catching ship is said to imprison the souls of the Donghai people who died in the sea on the ship.
Whenever the soul-holding ship passes by, these dead souls will be captured by it. Only when enough souls are collected, the soul-holding ship will disappear.
And if there are not enough souls, the soul-holding ship will not be limited to the undead at sea. The creatures on these islands and in the sea are all its prey. Only by gathering enough souls can it leave with satisfaction. Unfortunately, I have not seen it.
"
Cong Fu actually sighed with a hint of regret. She seemed a little disappointed that such a vicious creature could not be avoided by others.
"What a vicious thing." Li Luo shouted in a low voice.
"My lord, your lord, it's all the villain's fault. If it hadn't been for the villain who bumped into the ghost ship, it wouldn't have brought such a big disaster to the alliance city. It's the villain's fault. Please forgive me, my lord." Haishang burst into tears and lay down.
Weeping bitterly on the ground.
Li Luo and Yan said, "Get up. If someone could suffer such a brutal and inhumane killing just because they took a look at a ghost ship, no one would be spared."
If it deliberately comes to join in the excitement of Alliance City, even if you don't see it, others will still see it, so I can't blame you."
The merchant was startled, as if he was a little surprised. Perhaps it was due to the disgust in the eyes of the others in the room. The merchant almost thought that he could not escape death, but he did not expect that Li Luo would actually say something to explain.
Li Luo saw the businessman's appearance, understood, and said helplessly: "You don't have to be like this, the ghost ship incident is a foregone conclusion. If you are afraid and unwilling to tell us, we will not know about it.
I want to thank you, Mr. Fan, for a generous reward."
"I obey." Fan Anwei called up the merchant, led him down and comforted him for a few words, and ordered him not to talk nonsense after he got out. The prince will take charge of everything.
The businessman bid farewell to everyone with gratitude and hurriedly left Wangxing Tower.
Now that this matter has spread, it can no longer be hidden. Li Luo looked at Song Xiaochen and asked harmoniously: "Senior Song, did you hear about the ghost ship when you were in Nanfu?"
"What I said to the prince is indeed true."
"Oh, it's very strange that a ship can float on the vast sea and can be seen everywhere. Do these ghost ships all look the same?"
"That's not true. The ghost ships seen by maritime merchants in the past were large and small, and most of them regarded them as monsters. The ghost ship that appeared in the waters of the alliance city now, if what this merchant said is true, I am afraid that it is the ghost ship that has appeared recently.
It’s the largest ship rumored to be this year.”
"It's a coincidence that we caught up at the moment of the alliance city meeting." Li Luo smiled, as if he didn't see the solemn expressions of everyone in the building, and asked calmly, "How are the people in the alliance city?"
"Reporting to the prince, this matter has not spread widely yet, and not many people know about it, but we can't hide it for long, so we need to make plans early.
A few people who know about it have already planned to leave the alliance city, and the official sent people to detain them here. No news has been leaked, and the rest of the place is still peaceful at the moment."
"How can the mysterious and unpredictable power of God accumulated over hundreds of years in the vast sea be suppressed overnight or by a government order? Forget it, there is no need to cover up this matter. If it spreads, let it spread."
"Well, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that when the time comes, people's hearts will be unstable and panicky."
"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. If something goes wrong, it will end up on a ghost ship. Otherwise, the alliance city will have a good outcome this time."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Li Luo pondered to himself, feeling quite hard to make a decision. If he wanted to unravel the secret of the ghost ship's rampage, he would have to spend a lot of effort. But now that he had no other means, and the return date with Rangsi Hanshan was approaching, if he broke his trust with Guya and the others
, which is detrimental to Dagan and Caohai. It sounds like the gain outweighs the loss.
Rangsi Hanshan had a sharp mind. Seeing the troubled look on Li Luo's face, he guessed what was going on in Li Luo's heart and laughed loudly: "Xuan Lou, although things are serious, they also have priorities. You do what you should do.
See you soon."
Li Luo was startled and looked at Rangsi Hanshan in astonishment. He shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. Brother Hanshan is accompanying me to Alliance City, but asking you to return to Zhuocheng alone is unreasonable. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Rangsi Hanshan smiled and said: "You and I are mortal friends and don't care about these clichés.
As you said, the power that has been circulating in the sea for hundreds of years is not trivial. The merchants and people in the offshore must have lingering fears about these mysterious things. If you leave, people's hearts will be even more scattered. They will think that you deliberately avoided this murder.
Tribulation, if someone says one or two words at that time, then this alliance city meeting will probably end in vain."
