Chapter 432: Heart Moon Divine Palace
Because the hour is still early, and they are not busy going to the East China Sea, they first turned around from the seaside, at this time there are few people who rush to the sea, it coincides with the low tide, a large number of seafood is left on the beach, the Yi people only eat a few kinds of seafood such as fish and shellfish, the crabs they dare not eat, no one catches them, the number is large, the crabs with big bowls can be seen everywhere, and they do not run when they see people, but erect big tongs to demonstrate.
Although last night's dinner was sumptuous, Wu Zhongyuan didn't eat much, just drank a stomach of wine, sprinkled a few bubbles of urine and it was gone, and when he felt hungry, he caught a few crabs, and roasted them with direct fire if there was no pot, and the crabs naturally would not be roasted honestly, and struggled violently.
I felt that it was too cruel, so I changed the method, tied it with a straw rope, buried it in the sand, and burned it from above, this method is good, and it can be baked.
Crabs are already delicious, and grilled ones are better than boiled ones, but you still can't eat too much seafood, and you can easily get out if you eat too much.
When he was full, he wanted to go to the toilet, before returning he was also very curious about what the ancients used to wipe their buttocks, and after coming back, he knew that there was also straw paper in ancient times, and the hemp leaves were dried and the modern paper was almost the same, but before use, he had to knead it, and he had to add a small amount of water when kneading, otherwise it would be easy to break.
Whether you can wipe it clean, can, very clean, it's not that the quality of hemp leaves is good, but that people's diet and rest habits at this time are very good, there are more plant fibers in food, not as greasy as modern people eat, and people at this time don't stay up late, staying up late is not a good habit, and gastrointestinal function will be seriously disordered.
After eating and drinking enough to sleep, at sunrise summoned the green dragon armor, put on it, and set off.
It's not the first time he's flown over the sea, but when he and Li Bei came here before, he only flew through Bohai Bay, this time he went to the deep sea, and if he was worried, he wasn't very worried, after all, he didn't know anything about the sea, he still knew the general situation of the East China Sea, and he also knew where the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese island were. To say that he is not nervous at all, it is not, more or less nervous, after all, he knows about the modern East China Sea and not the East China Sea five thousand years ago, at this time there are all kinds of strange and large creatures on the land, and there must be more unknown creatures in the sea.
You have to fly a little higher, get too close to the surface of the sea and don't be swallowed by some sea monsters.
At this time, there was no map, the reference provided by the old blind man was the time and location, the old blind man flew west from Turtle Island on a bird, and flew two hours to the sea twenty miles south of the estuary, this time he flew from the south of the sea twenty miles to the east, because he was not in a hurry, the flight was not very fast, only maintained at a speed roughly equal to that of the birds.
flew out for hundreds of miles, and didn't find any large sea monsters in the sea, but if you can't see it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, after all, sea monsters live underwater, and it is impossible to run to the sea without anything.
There is an endless sea of water in all directions, and in this environment, people will be lonely and afraid, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception.
Fear comes from the instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, only fools don't know fear, but in the face of fear, people will have two reactions, one is to dodge, and the other is to fight back, the former is a coward, the latter is a warrior, Wu Zhongyuan naturally belongs to the latter, sensing the fear in his heart, he exudes aura and swoops downward.
He wore the green dragon armor, the green dragon armor has the ability to clear water, with his current ability to cultivate, the green dragon armor can open up a nine-zhang radius of sea water, because the swooping speed is too fast, many sea fish did not have time to swim away, after the sea water receded, from the dry bottom of the sea jump.
Unlike inland rivers and lakes, there is very little silt on the seabed, and the feet are very soft but not sinking, Wu Zhongyuan stood on the bottom of the sea and looked up, and found that the sea water above had been closed, and the range of the Qinglongjia water was nine zhang square, and the front and back left and right could be opened up to nine zhang, and the upper could only be opened up to nine zhang, beyond this range, the sea water would automatically close.
It feels interesting, playful, urging the green dragon armor to sweep eastward from the bottom of the sea, and the terrain in the sea is actually very similar to that on land, with undulating plains and mountains.
But he didn't run far, he stopped, he wasn't afraid of things and didn't need to cause trouble, this is no different from Nezha's troubles, disrupting people's normal life and work order, it's really finding fault.
In addition, the Qinglong Armor is to consume aura, the faster the speed of running, the more serious the aura consumption, and the aura consumed by flying from the land is not a concept at all, not a few times dozens of times the difference, but hundreds of times the rapid consumption, the reason for this situation is undoubtedly because the resistance of water is much greater than that of air, that is a gap of eight hundred times.
At the same time, the depth of the sea water should be roughly estimated at about 30 zhang, and the gap between this data and the modern data is not very large, and the South China Sea is the deepest in the four seas, measured in kilometers. The East China Sea is second, with two hundred meters. The Yellow Sea is again, but only a few dozen meters. The shallowest is the Bohai Sea, which is only a dozen meters.
The unknown breeds fear, and the reason why some people are afraid of the dark is only because they don't know what is in the dark and what the situation is at the bottom of the sea, so Wu Zhongyuan is calm, identifies the direction, and goes straight to the east.
The flight of birds mainly relies on magnetic field navigation, and the flight is basically a straight line, so when flying, Wu Zhongyuan also strives to fly in a straight line, and the error will definitely be there, but it can be reduced or reduced as much as possible.
There are not seagulls everywhere in the sea, as long as you see a large flock of seagulls, there will definitely be islands and reefs around, and there are no big islands along the way, but you can see a few small islands and reefs, the environment is similar to modern times, and there is nothing peculiar.
In the morning, Wu Zhongyuan arrived at his destination, and in all fairness, he was somewhat surprised, he didn't expect to find this island so smoothly.
The shape of Turtle Island does resemble a turtle, the so-called resemblance is not an ordinary likeness, the island is composed of one large, five small and six parts, with four legs, a head, and a carapace, and it is roughly estimated that it covers an area of about 200 acres, which is a medium-sized island.
The island was surrounded by a thick fog, similar to smoke, which was actually a poisonous miasma, and although he was not poisonous, he could sense the presence of poisonous gas, which he had never encountered before, and should have emanated from the bottom of the sea.
Through the miasma, the situation on the island is unobstructed, those Yi people were not mistaken, there is indeed a city on the island, located in the middle of the island, but it is not a group city, more like an ancient palace, the reason why it is like is because most of these stone buildings have collapsed, and the rest of them are also covered with thick moss, and they have not been restored.
There are many fruit trees on the island, which are planted in a relatively regular manner, and the signs of human management are more obvious.
Although there is a miasma on the periphery, there is no miasma on the island. There are also special varieties of fruit trees, which are already very cold at this time, but some of them are still green and bearing fruit.
It is an exaggeration to describe Turtle Island as eerie and terrifying, it doesn't feel terrifying, there is no daytime ghost crying, the situation here feels just dilapidated and bleak, like coming to a long-abandoned village in the twilight.
There is a mountain on the island, and the dilapidated stone building was built in the middle of the island, on the mountainside. There is also a pedestal of a pavilion at the top of the hill, and there are a few similar pedestals in other parts of the island, but only the pedestal remains, and the buildings on it are gone, and there must have been many beautiful buildings here, but now they are dilapidated.
The direction of Turtle Island is the east of the head and the west of the tail, there is a tall stele on the easternmost reef of the island, the stele is as high as three zhang, there are obvious edges and corners, it is by no means a natural formation.
Because the distance was still far away and the angle was wrong, Wu Zhongyuan could not see whether there was any writing on the stele, but according to common sense, it should be engraved with the name of the island.
Judging from the size of the island and the remaining buildings, it is clear that this is not a place where ordinary people lived and reproduced, but should have lived in some place where some worldly high-ranking people once lived.
After a general observation, he urged the green dragon armor to go to the east of the island.
He wanted to go over and look at the words on the stone tablet, but he stopped halfway through, and he suddenly saw someone.
The mountain peaks on the island are east-west, the west is low and the east is high, the main building is located on the mountainside, there are several pavilions left at the top of the mountain, the east of the mountain is a steep stone wall, about 100 zhang high, there is a stone platform in the upper area of the stone wall, and there are two people standing on the stone platform.
One of them, dressed in white, was looking eastward, at the wrong angle, and could not see the head and face, but with a graceful figure, it should be a young woman.
Next to her stood a man in gray, with a clumsy figure and a bowed head.
If you look closely, no, the man in gray is not a human, but a gray-haired monkey, much larger than an ordinary monkey.
The woman in white stood still, and the gray-haired monkey stood beside her and waited quietly.
Wu Zhongyuan was not surprised by the appearance of a woman, because the Yiren had heard someone stroking the piano before, and they had also heard the woman's crying and laughing, which showed that there were women on the island.
But the monkey is not right, because according to the old blind man, there is a bird on the island that can turn into a man in black, and it is clearly a bird, how can a monkey come out?
Suspicious, he looked around, the temperature on the island was much higher than the outside world, and there were many tall trees growing around, and soon he found a black figure in the forest on the right side of the stone platform where the woman was standing.
Judging from the position of this person, this person obviously deliberately hid his body and didn't want the woman in white to see it, what is the matter, what is the relationship between the man in black and the woman in white and the gray-haired monkey?
At this time, neither the two nor the monkey found him, so Wu Zhongyuan did not rush to the east, slowly landed, hid in the forest, and observed from afar.
The woman in white was like a statue, motionless, and it could be seen that the monkey wanted to move, but she forcibly restrained herself from moving, and when noon came, the monkey took the initiative to reach out and pull the woman in white along the steps to the top of the cliff.
The man in black followed, observing from a distance.
As soon as the man in black moved, Wu Zhongyuan saw the appearance of this person clearly, this was a thin old man, old and old.
After the man in black followed the woman in white and the monkey away, Wu Zhongyuan went around to the east to see the stone stele.
There is really a text on the stele, the four big characters are atmospheric and clumsy, carefully identified, and the engraved is the Heart Moon Divine Palace......
