Ask Sword

Wujun Changmen Haifalcon thirty-nine, these words seemed to have magical powers, causing Su Xinghuo's face to change suddenly, and his body froze suddenly.

Your Mightiness,

The muscles on Su Xinghuo's face twitched, and he asked with difficulty: Where did you hear the name of the ship?

.

Li Ang didn't answer, just looked at Su Xinghuo silently, the meaning was obvious - don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

All right.

Su Xinghuo sighed, Your Excellency saved my life, so I can't hide anything. However, since this ship involves the past secrets of the Su family, I hope you can keep the secret.

good.

Li Ang nodded in agreement, and took out two more soundproof notes from the drawer to completely isolate the risk of being eavesdropped.

It starts with my father.

Su Xinghuo took a deep breath, closed his eyes and recalled, and said: My parents' relationship has always been very good. As far as I remember, they hardly quarreled until one day they had a big fight.

My father, who was very drunk, told me the truth about the decline and demise of the Su family.

The ancestors of the Su family accumulated a fortune by running boats, and in the early years of the Sui Dynasty, they established Yiyuan Company in Suzhou. The people of the tribe worked hard, and a hundred years later, Yiyuan Company became the first in Suzhou and the top five in Jiangnan Road.

Family property includes land, cattle, mountain farms, water reels, milling fields, houses, shops along the street, etc.

But there is one thing that has always troubled the people of the Su clan—disease.

Once family members are over fifty or sixty years old, the probability and rate of mental deterioration are much higher than that of outsiders.

This is a disease that entangles Su's bloodline. When the clansmen get old, they will gradually lose the ability to take care of themselves, and even be unable to swallow.

According to the publication of the Chang'an Imperial Medical Bureau, it is a family hereditary disease.

The Su family felt that this was a family scandal, so they took all the clan elders into the deep part of the house and let them take care of them collectively.

Su Xinghuo paused, and said slowly: The emperors of the Sui Dynasty all believed in the rumors of the elixir of immortality in overseas fairy islands, and the folks were no exception.

In order to find a way to cure the disease, the ancestors of the Su family used the convenience of running a business to frequently explore the periphery of the Endless Sea and draw up charts.

Finally, by chance, a ship was carried by an unimaginably huge sea beast and sailed into the depths of the endless sea.

According to the ancestors of the Su family who survived on the boat, one scale of that sea beast was as big as a house.

People standing on the deck of the ship can only see a small piece of the sea beast's back, and a larger shadow lurks under the sea surface.

Its body length may be described in units of li. Comparable to Kunpeng.

The terrified crew sailed for 30 days and 30 nights, passing through the most dangerous area of ​​the Endless Sea, where there are endless thunderstorms, waves tens to hundreds of meters high, and strange creatures that prey on each other. Alien monster.

The sea beast of unknown shape seems to be the existence of the overlord level in the endless sea,

Wherever it went, the thunderstorm subsided, the huge waves subsided,

The ferocious sea beasts did not dare to approach.

The surviving crew believed that no ship could have sailed to such a horrible place without relying on the sea beast.

On the thirtieth night, the sea beast stopped swimming on the edge of an island and dived deeply. Sea Falcon 39 finally touches the water again.

Since the ship is located in the depths of the endless sea that has never been explored by anyone, the surroundings are full of dangers, and the crew members who are close to running out of food and drinking water immediately decide to sail to the island to replenish supplies on the island, looking for fresh water and edible food.

After half a day, most of the crew who were looking for supplies came back, but a few people still didn't come back, and they didn't hear their whistle for help.

The captain sent some men to look for it,

The crew followed the footprints, cut off the vines blocking the way with machetes, and walked carefully toward the depths of the dense forest. Then, they saw an unforgettable scene——

In the middle of the island, there is a pit with a diameter of ten feet. In the pit stood a black boulder.

Black stones vary in size. The largest piece is mostly in the rock formation, and countless tree-root-like things extend from the bottom of it that touches the ground.

Infiltrates the surrounding area like a dye.

The surface of the vegetation is covered with cobweb-like black lines, and the bodies of birds and beasts are replaced with pitch-black substances everywhere.

Those missing persons stood in the pit blankly, with black tree roots stuck in their necks, wrists, and ankles.

After careful consideration, the others decided to use ropes to pull them out from a distance.

Everything in the endless sea is very dangerous. The crew did not send the missing persons to the ship, but put them in a temporary camp far from the coastline of the island to observe.

The next day, several missing persons woke up slowly, but there was nothing unusual.

Even, one of the Su family members, who was nearly fifty years old and had already shown intermittent mental decline, was completely cured, and he no longer had the symptoms of sudden stuttering and slow speech.

Only one thing - their blood turned red and black.

The captain discovered this change, and he issued a gag order to all the crew members who knew about it. He led a few people back to the pit, picked up a large black stone from the periphery of the pit, and put it into a special stone box for sealing up aliens.

A few days later, thick blood floated from the sea, together with large pieces of residual limbs—the residual limbs were bluish-black in color, covered with carapaces on the back, and densely packed suction cups the size of a carriage, similar to octopus fish, on the front.

The captain guessed that the sea beast that brought them over probably had a python-like habit. They like to prey on prey that is large enough, and one hunt can last for several years, ten years, or even longer.

After hunting successfully, they return to their residences to hibernate and dormant.

A few days later, the sea beast really resurfaced, and the crew seized the opportunity to stop the boat on the sea beast's back, and followed the sea beast back to the voyage.

Probably because of a full meal, it took forty days and forty nights for the sea beast to return to the periphery of the endless sea and start diving.

More than half of the crew on the Sea Falcon 39 were killed or injured, and the remaining survivors steered the ship and barely sailed back to land from the periphery of the endless sea. After resupply in Nanzhao, they sailed to the Sui Kingdom and returned to Suzhou.

The Su family blocked all news about this voyage, and the monks trained by the elders and the family studied the black stone brought back.

The more they studied, the more they were amazed at the mystery of the Black Stone, and later they directly regarded the Black Stone as a divine object bestowed by Haotian, set up an altar for it, and secretly enshrined it.

Gradually, the incidence of genetic diseases in the family continued to decrease. Just when the family thought they had finally got rid of the blood curse, a group of uninvited guests came to the door.

Tai Xuanzong.

For some reason, this hidden sect found out about Heishi. They directly broke into the mansion full of prohibitions that the family spent a lot of money to build, and held the patriarch and elders hostage, demanding cooperation.
