Above the sea.
The sky was still covered with dark clouds. Snake-like lightning flashed through the clouds. The dull thunder continued, and the rain fell on the deck.
Wang Cheng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed as he watched the strange figure disappear before his eyes.
When the ghost ship approached, there seemed to be a mysterious power that locked the surroundings. One would feel a strong sense of suffocation when they were in it.
It was like a person who had been drowning for too long. Breathing had become a luxury.
But now, that oppressive feeling had completely disappeared.
"The Mao Mountain talisman is indeed something…"
Wang Cheng looked calm, but he could not hide the shock in his heart.
In order to kill Shadow, he had used up two talismans at once, especially a ghost-killing talisman. It would be a lie to say that he did not feel heartache.
After all, he had only exchanged for five Dao-seals after risking his life once.
He had not even entered the underwater tomb, but he had already used up half of it.
However, he was extremely satisfied with the results.
"Hey…"
Just as he was still immersed in that huge sense of accomplishment, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
He subconsciously lowered his head.
She happened to see Ah Ning's gaze.
It was a pair of gem-like eyes, so clear that not a trace of impurity could be seen. Words could not describe its beauty.
However, her cheeks seemed to be covered in a layer of red frost, and there was a rare look of embarrassment and anger on her face.
Noticing that Wang Cheng was looking at her, Ah Ning felt her heart beat faster." You…are pressing on me."”
"What? Oh, sorry."
Wang Cheng was stunned at first, then he remembered that he was still sitting on a girl.
This posture…seemed a little indecent.
It was inevitable that people would misunderstand.
He quickly jumped to his feet, and the atmosphere was a little silent. However, Ah Ning had grown up abroad and had a bolder personality. Seeing his reserved expression, she could not help but cover her mouth and smile.
"Are you a descendant of the Mountain Moving Sect?"
Thinking of the two magical talismans in Wang Cheng's hands, it was hard for Ah Ning not to associate them with the Maoshan Sect. Now that he was here, it seemed like his identity was on the verge of being revealed.
"Maybe."
Wang Cheng shrugged.
He didn't comment.
Seeing that he was silent, Ah Ning thought that he had agreed to it and looked at him with a glint in her eyes.
The Mountain Moving Taoist had long been hard to find, and his inheritance had almost been cut off.
However, there was one in front of him.
How could she not be surprised?
A sea battle was more dangerous than an ordinary earth battle. The sea was mysterious and unpredictable. No one knew what kind of strange evil things would appear in the tomb.
With a descendant of the Mountain Moving Sect around, at least their safety would be greatly improved.
He had thought that only Wu Sansheng's nephew in the team would ask him to pay attention. After all, his third uncle had been in this industry for decades and was very famous.
But now, she understood that among the three of them, the most mysterious one was Wang Cheng.
"Will this ghost ship still be in danger?”
Ah Ning looked around.
After Shadow was killed by the talisman paper, the ghost ship no longer had the strange atmosphere from before. It stopped quietly on the sea and rose and fell slightly with the waves.
"Better be careful."
Wang Cheng shook his head. If one looked closely, one would find that there was a solemn look in the depths of his eyes.
The Five Emperor Coin hidden in his chest suddenly started to heat up.
After the trip to the Lu Palace, he knew that this was a sign of danger.
Ah Ning nodded.
The two of them walked down the passage to the cabin. The handrails were rusted and looked like they would fall apart at any moment.
Looking at the structure of the cabin, it looked like a product from the 70s and 80s.
The two of them walked around the bottom but could not find any traces of anyone living there.
"It seems to be the lounge in front."
The ghost ship was similar to the fishing boat that Ah Ning had rented. Behind the cockpit was a lounge, which was also a place for the crew to sleep.
He went in and saw a row of iron beds with a top and bottom structure.
"I'll go to the cockpit and see if I can find a logbook or something.”
After looking around, Wang Cheng did not find anything of value. He turned around and prepared to go to the cockpit.
"Wait…"
"Cheng, come over and take a look."
Before he could take a few steps, he heard Ah Ning's voice from behind him.
There was surprise, doubt, and confusion.
Wang Cheng went over to take a look. There was an iron cabinet in the corner. It was locked, but the lock was completely rusted. It fell down with a casual pull.
Unfortunately, the cabinet was soaked in water, and the items were all rotten.
"There's a waterproof bag."
A Ning had sharp eyes and found a leather bag under a pile of trash.
It was the kind that had been specially treated and smeared with an oil layer, making it impervious to water.
"Open it and take a look."
He quickly opened the waterproof bag, and a bunch of gadgets fell out. Although it was damp, it was still well preserved.
It was a typical item from the 70s and 80s.
It was a symbol that belonged to that era.
To their surprise, there was a notebook among them.
He flipped it open.
A line of words fell into their eyes.
In July 1984, Wu Sansheng presented Chen Wenjin.
This…
When he saw this line of words, Wang Cheng's mind lit up. He realized that he had neglected someone from the beginning.
Chen Wenjin.
Twenty years ago, she was among the archeological team that entered the underwater tomb.
She had to admit that it was a tragedy. Because of its existence, she became a victim and could only hide in the dark underground for the rest of her life.
"Wu Sansheng and Chen Wenjin?"
A Ning's eyes quickly swept across the title page, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
This ship was obviously from decades ago.
Why would the name of Wusan Province appear here?
Could it be that he had been here before?
A Ning was intelligent and could deduce a lot of things from just one line of words. However, she soon forgot about that. As she scanned her surroundings, she suddenly saw a scene that terrified her.
Outside the small window at the edge of the cabin.
A face covered in scales was staring at them.
