Chapter 155: Penglai Wonderland
From the whispers of others, Helian Xiaojiang pieced together some information, and it turned out that he had met the two legendary divine beasts at the bottom of the sea, the Wind Beast and the Sea Child. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Big toad and little kid.
Ancient beasts or something, it sounds lofty. After Helian Xiaojiang knew that it was these two who were fighting and playing, setting off a bloody storm that led to countless deaths and injuries, she didn't have any good feelings about the so-called divine beasts and gods on the Kyushu continent at all. And how ironic it is that the crowd bows down and seeks refuge from the perpetrators!
To seek refuge, it is better to directly ask these two ancestors not to make waves.
In comparison, it seems that the little beast king Chilong, who also belongs to the ancient divine beast species, is much cuter.
The little black cat pricked up its ears and eavesdropped, while avoiding the two hands of the blue wolf that kept rubbing on it. At this time, Helian Xiaojiang especially hopes that he can communicate with people smoothly even on the days when he becomes a cat, instead of "meowing" without momentum. Then she could give a serious warning to the wolf, forbidding him to touch it all the time, and not to make any trouble.
Although the whole body was covered with thick hair, the thick and warm palms of the blue wolf still made Helian Xiaojiang feel a little shy. Even if she turns into a cat, it is her body, and she has a keen sense of touch on her limbs, ears, and tail.
In the end, the little black cat used a trick to slap the wolf with his butt in protest, and finally let the hands that were stuck to his body temporarily withdraw.
On the other deck, the curious crowd dispersed, and the surroundings became as quiet as ever. There are flocks of seagulls flapping their wings to fly, the waves rolling, and the little black cat lying on the lap of the blue wolf, its little triangular ears hanging back and closing its eyes to recuperate.
With a map of the sea area pointing out the right direction, we can avoid taking the wrong path. The canvases on the ship's five masts were all opened, and the crew went down to the cabin to paddle at the same time, and the whole ship headed towards Penglai and headed for the future that everyone was looking forward to. But objectively, the straight-line distance between the two places is so far that the time it should take is usually spent.
Wooden sailboats move day and night.
Helian Xiaojiang turned into a cat, became smaller in stature, and his appetite became much smaller than when he was in human form, and his small tongue was more picky about food. So the blue wolf had to feed it persistently every time, until the black cat resolutely closed his eyes and turned his butt to him.
Sunrise and sunset, day and night alternate, ride the wind and waves.
The return journey was unexpectedly smooth, with no major storms, mostly sunny and occasional drizzle.
Half a month later, a broken wooden sailing ship ran aground on the northern coastline of the country of Mischief, its tall mast poking steadily into the sky, but the white canvas hanging from it was tattered. The big ship swayed from side to side with the waves, and the wind blew the broken planks quietly, just like a ghost ship. Until a man's rough voice came from inside the boat: "Please note, we have arrived at Penglai Island, please bring your luggage and prepare to disembark." ā
The bearded captain's beard had grown thicker and thicker after too long of being taken care of, so tightly that he could not see the mouth hidden in the beard when he spoke to the passengers.
I have been adrift at sea for nearly three or four months, and I have been wandering in the sea for a long time, and my thoughts have gradually become confused and confused. At this moment, everyone is in a half-dead state. Hearing the bearded captain's words, he didn't react much, and stood up silently and had no strength to pack his luggage.
The black cat in his arms scratched his paws and "meowed" and called, and the blue wolf circled and picked it up and put it on the side of the ship.
"Meow~"
I can't help but admire the beauty of the Kyushu mainland, from south to north, from glaciers to plains.
Cape Country, an island nation. Nicknamed Penglai, it lives up to its name.
Nearby, a long and wide quay harbor made of large stones. It rises from below the seabed and extends from the inner shore to the outside. It is tall, almost as tall as the side of a wooden sailing ship. Ten crew members carried out a thick plank that was placed on the side of the dock and on the side of the ship, connecting the ship to the dock harbor.
At the end of the pier, there is an archway built at the junction of the sea and the shore. Three doors and two pillars, flowing eaves flying ridges, dougong flower wings majestic magnificent.
Climb onto the side of the ship, walk over the swaying planks, walk along the stone pier until you pass the archway before you officially enter the country of the horse. In this way, the island nation has no shelter, and the tiles are displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
The big cities and towns in mainland Kyushu have walls, not only on the periphery, but also in the alleys. However, the country of Wu chose to be open and maverick. The houses in the capital are neither crowded nor mediocre. The houses are a combination of stone and wood, painted in bright red or green, and carved beams. These small but delicate houses are evenly spaced and scattered around Penglai Mountain.
Penglai Mountain, at least that's what people from outside the island call it when they come on pilgrimage.
The only mountain in the entire island. It was in the middle of the island, and the mountain was unusually steep, and it was in the middle of a flat island that suddenly a pillar rose from the ground and towered into the sky, like the mast of a wooden sailing ship.
The surroundings of Penglai Mountain are covered with clouds and mist all year round, and they do not disperse all year round.
The luggage he brought with him had long since been rushed to the corner of the sea. Under the eager gaze of the bearded captain, the blue wolf retracted the map of the sea, the ice release knife still tied to his back, and placed the black cat on his left shoulder. He patted the little guy and motioned for it to grasp it.
The black cat responded: "Meow~".
The narrow pier where the waves repeatedly crash against the rocks below. Ahead, the passengers who got off the boat first scrambled to run in the direction of the archway, and the long legs of the blue wolf came to the middle of the dock in a few steps, and he stopped to look back. The bearded captain and his crew disembarked unhurriedly, and after stepping over the thick planks, they did not continue on, but turned to face the vast sea.
The crew seemed to be standing in disarray, but they were actually standing in order of seniority, with the bearded captain at the front. In front of him lay a brazier.
It is a traditional ritual to bid farewell to the souls who die every time they cross the sea. The ceremony began with the crew of the ship, and gradually included the passengers on board. The white paper and yellow paper melted together and floated in the sea, and some confetti that had not had time to burn out in the future fluttered in the air with flames.
Eventually, the flame burned out, leaving only a faint spark in the brazier, and people fell on their knees and bowed to the sea. In the last row of the group stood an old man with white hair and a hunched back, who was with the crew to bid farewell to the people who were on board halfway.
By the time the blue wolf arrived at the archway, the group of people who had just come off the ship had already scattered and disappeared. Thousands of years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, but the fate is slow, but it is so fast.
