Is this a mast?

Zhao Han immediately stepped up and swam forward a few times. The thing gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be a mast.

Under the mast, a huge creature appeared, and all kinds of black things were piled up.

On the mast, there was a flag floating in the water, soaked in water and rotted, with a vague word on it:

"canal".

This is a canal ship, the official canal ship.

Found it!

Zhao Han calmed down and quickly rowed towards the hull.

It's getting closer and clearer.

Suddenly, the water surged and a black shadow appeared in front of him.

It seems to be a personal body.

No, that can't be called human.

It was a human being, with only a layer of skin left on his body, and it was soaked and floated up.

Under the skin was covered with white bones, red muscles stuck together, and the neck bone seemed to be broken by something, and the head hung on the chest.

He is thin and short, just like a child.

Zhao Han immediately looked around.

In the darkness, it is not just this guy who does it.

There were dozens of people in the same shape on the entire hull, all of which were tied to the mast by a hemp rope.

The people were soaked in water and floated up one after another, scattered everywhere above the hull.

From a distance, it looks like a pile of drowning ghosts, gloomy, shrouded in the air of the big ship.

According to the law, the official canal transport ships are mainly used to transport bulk materials such as grain, salt, and iron. Except for the soldiers escorted, they cannot be taken to outsiders.

But the official ship is fast and safe, and there are many people among the people who often have to travel between Yangzhou and Guanzhong.

They all urgently hope to take the official boat to save trouble and be safe.

Therefore, in actual operation, many canal transportation yamen will take some seats on the ship and sell them. Except for some of the money earned, the rest are filled in the official warehouse.

This move has income for the yamen and convenience for the people, so after a while, the people in the court turned a blind eye.

Many of the people in front of me still had clothes left behind, all of which were adults. There were soldiers transporting the canal, and there were all kinds of officials, businessmen, scholars and farmers.

Obviously, these people were not children during their lifetime.

The reason why they became like this is because of external forces.

After the human body's flesh and blood are sucked dry, the bones of the whole body often contract.

Sucking the essence and blood of living people is exactly what some evil monsters often do.

Could it be that this shipwreck case was really made by a ghost?

So, how do you explain this hemp rope?

Ghosts absorb essence, qi, blood and flesh, just to "full" or practice. After sucking, it should leave.

Why, it took so much time to string these people together and tie them to the ship?

This has no practical use for ghosts.

However, there are some river thieves who do something bizarre to the people they are robbing because of their personal quirks.

The time to hold your breath is limited, so don’t think about it anymore, hurry up and find out more clues before talking about it.

Zhao Han waved his hands, passed through the people's fucks, swam towards the main hull along the mast.

It was really a big ship, full of all kinds of cargo.

Look at the packaging of the packaging is grain, salt and iron, which are the things that are often transported on the canal transport ship.

Because there are fixed ropes and hull cargo bars tied together, they still look neat and neat even underwater.

It seems that there is no loss of goods.

If this shipwreck was done by river thieves, their purpose would of course be these valuable goods.

After the ship sank, they will inevitably dive into the water immediately and salvage it and transport it away.

But there was no sign of loss of the goods in front of us, so it seemed that the shipwreck was not done by the river thieves.

Zhao Han looked around again.

At the end of the hull, a large pile of goods surrounded by it, as if there was a huge black bag.

The bag was round and covered tightly.

That looks very different from all the goods next to it. Obviously, the goods contained in it are not grain, salt and iron.

Zhao Han swam over.

I'm close, I've seen it clearly.

The bag seemed to be covered with several thick layers, all of which were waterproof and airtight.

There are also small black dots around the outside of the bag, floating in the water.

Zhao Han grabbed some and looked at it, rubbed his fingers again.

It seems to be some black powder, finely crumbly, and even in the water, it seems to feel a little greasy.

What is this?

While thinking, Zhao Han swam to the black bag and reached out to touch the bag.

It seems to be hard inside, and there seems to be something greasy.

It's like a big stone.

strangeness.

The materials transported by the canal are usually transported by the government and civilians. What should I do if I transport a piece of stone?

Wang Hongen said that the ship was transporting goods from Guanzhong, and its final destination was Yangzhou City.

The Guanzhong area is rich in strange stones, and in Yangzhou and Jiangnan, people like to take a mountain in the yard to make scenery.

Could it be that the Jingshi transported from there?

But what do those black powders and the greasy feeling?

Zhao Han was thinking, and saw at a glance the lower right corner of the black bag, which seemed to have sewn a few words with needle and thread.

It seemed to be a name from a territory in Yangzhou City. There were three small characters sewn behind the place name:

"Na Luojia."

Generally, a delivery place name will be left on a bag like this for easy transportation after arriving at the place.

Then the place name sewn should be the land where this goods will eventually be delivered.

And the place name is usually not written after it. If it is written, it is usually the name of the recipient.

Naluoga.

This is not a person's name.

This is Sanskrit.

The Buddhist scriptures say, "Suffering great suffering, falling into the fall of the fallen kara, the sacred prison of the infinite."

In Sanskrit, this "Na Luojia" means "Amitabha Hell".

How did this place where the name of the consignee was originally written, so why did it write a Buddhist term? Could it be that this is some kind of synonym?

This thing is weird.

Must open it to see it.

My breathing gradually became a little tighter, and there were not much time left.

Zhao Han took out a knife from his waist and prepared to poke it on the black bag of goods.

Suddenly, the rivers around us surged.

It's not an undercurrent, but a faint, earthquake-like tremor.

It is the throbbing of the vitality of heaven and earth.

not good!

The spell was recited and the handprint was formed, and the mysterious light on Zhao Han's body suddenly burst out!

A few dull sounds of water!

Around the water, four dark red rays of light stretched towards Zhao Han from front, back, left and right, and immediately grabbed Zhao Han's body.
