Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 186, The Ability to Foresee
"It looks like Deputy Director Xia is already a little impatient. But you're just a little bit of a person, I'm afraid you can't deal with us. I smiled, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people around, a few of us would have done it a long time ago.
The two sides are in a stalemate, the fat man and the three of us are in a four-cornered trend, if the other party really wants to take people regardless of it, we will not be soft.
I didn't think that at this moment, a large group of people came in the distance, and I glanced at it, and it was estimated that there were about thirty people, even in the bustling train station, so many people seemed very conspicuous. Thirty or so men came from behind the four of us, and the group of people who were still staring at us looked very unsightly.
"We're from Sha Lao, and we guessed that you might get into trouble at the train station, so we brought some more people over, and this is the token." He took out a token that was identical to mine, and when the two of them were paired, the token immediately glowed with the same light.
"Haha, this is my own person." The fat man smiled and shouted, "Hey, you're not leaving?" Are you still here waiting to die? ”
The centaur on the opposite side was obviously at a disadvantage, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked away quickly.
When their car was far away, I turned around and said, "Where is Sha Lao now?" ”
"Please get in the car, there are some things I can't say in public." He stretched out his hand and pointed to a few small cars parked not far away.
After getting into the car, the car started immediately, and at this time, the person sitting in the co-pilot turned his head, I was stunned when I saw it, and said in surprise: "Xiao Zhou, why are you?" ”
"My real identity is one of Sha Lao's personal secretaries, and I will also help Sha Lao do a lot of errands. I'll leave it to me to briefly describe the trip. Have you read all the information I gave you? He asked.
I nodded and said, "I've read it, it's written in detail, but most of it is described through the perspective of mythology." In other words, it is information that cannot be determined to be authentic, so it is difficult for me to determine whether Xianshan Tomb really exists. Also, there isn't much definite evidence for me in the data, and I think there must be a lot of evidence that you haven't shown me. ”
Xiao Zhou nodded with a smile and said, "There is a lot of evidence that is indeed inconvenient to show you, after all, the content involved is too important, and we also have to consider the risks." Let me tell you about the current situation, as we have worked tirelessly to identify three possible sites where the Wave Tamper would eventually sink, and all three are now being discovered and explored at the same time. ”
"Didn't the Treading Waves sink not far from the port? Is it so hard to find? The fat man asked curiously.
"It's strange here, it was obviously sunk not far from the port, but no wreckage was found after salvage at that time, of course, this is also related to the influence of water currents and tides, but there is also a theory. Because the Treading Wave was close to the Immortal Mountain, it was cursed, and some mysterious force pulled the Treading Wave that was about to arrive in the harbor into the water and dragged away ......"
A five-hundred-meter ship, the work of the top craftsmen of the time, what kind of power could tow it away?
"Based on our interviews and analysis of the locals, there are some stories passed down from mouth to mouth in the local area, especially in the villages near the port where the accident occurred, and many of these stories are related to Xianshan. But we also know that these so-called legends and stories that have been handed down are not direct evidence. But an unexpected discovery made us finally determine whether the Treading Wave had really been to Xianshan. We found an old man in a nearby village, and now we are on our way to meet this old man. ”
"Old man? What does he know? I asked curiously.
"He witnessed the sinking of the Treading Waves......" Xiao Zhou's words made all four of us stunned for a moment.
The Treading Wave sank in the Ming Dynasty, and it is hundreds of years away from now, could it be that this old man was born hundreds of years ago? What kind of people can live for hundreds of years?
"Isn't it old and immortal?" Luo Qiong asked in surprise.
"You'll know when you get there." Xiao Zhou sold a pass, the car drove on the bumpy mountain road, the car shook a little badly, the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the city to the farmland, and from the farmland to the fishing village, the big road into a small road, and finally the small road became a muddy field road. I got out of the car, Xiao Zhou pointed to a fishing village not far away and said, "The old man is inside, you stay here to control the wind, don't let people approach, and the remaining few follow me into the village." ”
The sky was a little gloomy, and when I turned my head, I could see the sea not far away, but it was not blue, but black, and the blackness was like opening your mouth at the end of the world, and there was a feeling that it would swallow you up anytime and anywhere.
"It's probably going to rain heavily at night, and the sea is going to be windy. Let's go into the village......"
Stepping into the village, the smell of fish was stronger than expected, and three or two villagers were packing up their fishing nets, and no one would go into the sea to fish in such weather, unless they didn't want to live.
Xiao Zhou is familiar with the road and takes us to the fishing village, the population is not very large, the whole village is estimated to be about a dozen households, almost every household is dried fish, and it seems that some gods are worshipped.
"What kind of bodhisattva are they worshipping?" Luo Qiong asked strangely, he grew up in the mountains, and he had only been out of the mountains for more than five years, and he didn't know much about the customs of fishermen by the sea.
"It is Mazu Niangniang, many fishermen and ordinary people in China's coastal areas worship Mazu Niangniang, legend has it that Mazu Niangniang is the lord of the sea, the god of heaven, can calm the four seas, and the magic is boundless." I casually explained.
"It's just ahead!" Xiao Zhou pointed to a small house in front of him and said, there were many old people standing around the house, and it seemed that the whole house had been controlled.
I nodded, followed Xiao Zhou forward, the people at the gate blocked us, and Xiao Zhou was released after the token, I opened the door curtain, walked into the house and looked, in the dim and simple house, in the center of the back to me sat a thin old man.
The old man had his back to me, his short sparsely curled silver-gray hair, his skin was dark, and his vertebrae could be seen very clearly when his whole back was arched, which reminded me of the poor people who were still smoking cigarettes in feudal society.
"Hello......" said the fat man.
When the other party heard the voice, he turned his head slowly, and first saw very clear ribs, then a sharp chin and a messy beard, but what really shocked us was the old man's eyes, which were completely blind! The eyelids cover the eyes, and at first glance it looks as if they have been flattened against the eyes.
"Blind!" We were all taken aback, even a little frightened. The other party seemed to know our expressions, smiled and said, "Come in, come in." ”
I walked in, everyone except Xiao Zhou was standing at the door, I bent down and sat on a somewhat crooked bamboo chair, looked at Xiao Zhou, the latter introduced: "This is the old man I said before that witnessed the sinking of the Treading Waves, surnamed Sun, you can call Uncle Sun." ”
I nodded and asked strangely, "From the perspective of time, if you want to see the Treading Wave sinking, then you have to live for at least a thousand years, can you live forever?" ”
The old man shook his head, and the fat man then asked, "So you can see the past?" ”
The old man shook his head at first, then nodded again, seeing that we were even more confused, Xiao Zhou hurriedly explained: "Uncle Sun's ability is actually somewhat similar to seeing the past, he can have a strange dream, in which he can see things that have happened and do exist. ”
"Dreams are the power of foresight, and this is the ability to foresee, uncle." Yuan Feng interjected.
The old man took out a cigarette pouch and rolled it, and Luo Qiong next to him asked strangely, "What can you foresee?" What does this have to do with dreaming? Why are you talking more and more mysterious? ”
"I don't usually listen to more books when you read more, but now I don't understand. The so-called ability to foresee is a very special, but real, magical talent. It varies from person to person, which is somewhat similar to Shi Bing's natural ability to emit cold, both of which are mysterious and unpredictable abilities. To put it simply, what we can see in our dreams is what we imagine or desire in our daily lives, but what these people see in their dreams is the real things that have happened in the past or in the future. ”
