Chapter 236 Wine and Stories

"Well, this is a secret..."

Hearing that the boy in front of him actually called out the names of himself and his beloved car, the undead's heart became more surprised.

"Hundreds of years have passed outside, right? How did you know this? I don't think those Wang family historians would record the deeds of a criminal in detail."

"Haha!" Zhu Mingyao looked at this screen hero with a trace of nostalgia, who was loved by thousands of movie fans in his previous life, including himself... Well, let's call him a hero!

"Why belittle yourself? My dear captain." He smiled with emotion.

"The chronicles recorded by the royal family officials on white paper may not be more vital than the people's oral traditions. Besides...even if time changes and everyone's memory has been blurred, this sea will always remember that there once was a righteous man. The legendary pirate captain frees slaves, slays sea monsters, and enjoys grudges. He is as free as the wind and rides on the boundless waves!"

The first living person I saw in a long time opened his mouth and a series of complimentary words came to him. The dried brains of the undead were not enough, so he opened his mouth wide and felt a burst of silly joy.

Am I that famous?

This guy knows my deeds very well. He seems to be very good at searching for treasures. Is he a colleague of future generations? Well, don't be confused Jack, I haven't got the "thing" yet.

He reluctantly gathered his chaotic thoughts, coughed twice, and said with a straight face:

"Maybe you've heard of my name, but that doesn't mean I rescued you in vain. I still have to pay for the boat ticket!"

"The so-called boat tickets you want...can't be our souls, right?" Bai Ziyuan held the bone flag and said sadly.

"What do I want with your souls?" The undead spread out his hands, twitching his decayed facial muscles, trying his best to make a kind expression.

"It's just a few extra possessions. Seeing that you are carrying so many extraordinary treasures, is it okay to let me pick a few?"

"So that's it, but our equipment is useful. Do you think you can change it to something else?"

Zhu Mingyao narrowed his eyes, showed a strange smile on his face, and continued the conversation.

He flipped his wrist and held out a one-foot-long gold-lacquered prayer box, and gently opened the lid. The two round objects glowed with a dark golden shimmer.

"...How about the Undead Gold Coin?"

"Deal -" Bai Gu Phosphorus's five fingers stretched out like lightning, and he couldn't wait to reach into the box!

Then he grabbed onto a green and black cane with a curved talisman.

The excited expression froze on his face, and the undead's eyes moved up to meet Zhu Mingyao's teasing smile. When he came back to his senses, he figured everything out and waited for the other person to speak.

Although I don't know how he guessed his purpose, since the boy in front of him knew him well, he might as well be honest.

"It seems that you know more ancient secrets than I thought." The undead slowly loosened his fingers and sighed frankly: "Make a price!"

Zhu Mingyao's expression straightened a little, "I thought you would try to grab it forcefully?"

"Fate has its own reasons for sending you to me. It's probably not for me to review my old skills."

The undead twirled his fingers lightly, and his tone took on a philosophical tone. His smooth temperament suddenly became a bit more elegant, but the next sentence was straight to the point.

"I can't beat you anyway. Let's follow the rules of sea sales. I will offer a very generous price."

The cabin door of the captain's cabin behind him opened with a creaking sound without any wind, and a large ball of bright and confusing jewels emerged, immediately filling the eyes of several people.

Various ancient gold coins and gold bars punched out by hand are piled messily on the floor, forming a high hill that almost reaches the ceiling. Large precious metal vessels such as gold pots, silver pots, portrait carvings, etc. are randomly placed on the wall. .

Exquisite jewelry lines several beautiful jade tables, complementing the rough and large raw gemstones next to them. Some of them also emit considerable psychic fluctuations, which are obviously high-quality extraordinary materials.

Due to limited space, the most expensive rubies, sapphires and emeralds can still have a place on the table. The slightly lower value tourmaline cat's eyes can only roll on the bottom of the table. As for the even inferior agate, lapis lazuli and the like, , it was treated like garbage and swept to the corner of the room. It was even difficult to find a place for people to stay in the relatively wide space! The gold, mountains and silver sea that could only be seen in film and television art works in the past suddenly appeared in front of you, filling the air with a strong smell of wealth, almost making people fall over.

Even though everyone had seen a little of the world, the huge impact of such a large amount of treasure still took their breath away.

"Please feel free to do so!"

Madison, who was a little tired from the pain, opened her eyes wide, stretched out her little hand in disbelief, and pointed at the golden mountain tremblingly.

"You mean...just take it?"

Such a huge wealth, even she, a wealthy daughter, was overwhelmed.

Some small countries don’t have that much gold reserves, right?

Seeing the other party nodding, she swallowed hard, forced herself to calm down, and cast a questioning look at her companion.

Like everyone else, Zhu Mingyao was shocked at first, but then he lowered his eyelids and looked thoughtful.

Then he smiled slightly and said in a calm tone: "Since you are so generous, of course I can't refuse, but...can you let us hear the ins and outs behind the transaction.

The legendary story of Captain Jack Sparrow should not end quietly..."

After a moment of silence, the two rows of yellowed teeth on the bare jaws collided several times.

"As you wish, boy!"

……

……

"...As I said just now, it wasn't until the years passed and I sent away many old friends that I realized that we had never gotten rid of that stingy guy!"

The white-bone fingers tightly grasped a bottle of medicinal wine to replenish energy and heal wounds. He lay down on it with a face that looked almost like a skeleton and sniffed the aroma of the wine greedily.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't resist the smell that had lasted for hundreds of years. He raised his head and took a sip. The crystal liquid went straight down from his throat and seeped out along the rotten and damaged chest and abdomen.

Although he didn't retain much inventory, Captain Jack still smacked his lips with satisfaction.

"Finally I can drink good wine again, and my life has less regrets."

He shook the bottle and put it away carefully.

"Where did I say it? Yes... When I noticed something strange, it was already too late. I witnessed the crew members having their souls taken away one by one by the undead gold coins. The curse was only delayed, not lifted at all. "

Jack sat lazily leaning on the mast, and everyone sat or stood in a circle, quietly listening to the pirate king telling stories of the past hundreds of years ago.

"Mictlantcutli! The true owner of the gold coins, the Lord of Death in the Aztec pantheon, made a terrible joke on us. At that time, all those who glued the undead gold coins with blood for the return ceremony, It is true that he will not turn into an immortal skeleton again during his lifetime, but when he dies, he will turn into a ghost and return to his temple to become its eternal guardian!"

He tilted his head, and his neck bones, which lacked tendons as a buffer, made a snapping sound.

"There's no worse end for a free-spirited pirate!"
