On the sixth day of the twelfth month of the fifth year of Xuande, the treasure ship went out to sea from Longjiang Pass, and the senders gathered, and the mountains called for a tsunami. The flag covers the sky for days, and the ships are connected to the vast soup. This is the first time I have gone to sea, and it is also the first time I have seen such a magnificent scene, I never imagined that in my life, I would have the opportunity to step out of this land and go to the boundless ocean.

What is the ocean in our Chinese people's cognition? It's immense, it's endless, it's unknown. There was even a time when I always thought that in the whole world, there was only one vast land in China, and beyond that, there was the ocean.

I still vividly remember the smile in his old eyes that could not be concealed when I boarded the treasure ship and met Master Zheng to tell him about my thoughts, and that smile seemed to tell me: Child, the world is much bigger than you think.

According to calculations, the number of people who went to sea this time was as high as 27,500, which can be said to be the largest number of people who went to sea before. And in these people, I also met some people who I thought were strange, completely different from ordinary soldiers, but those people didn't have much contact with us, and Lord Zheng's attitude towards them was also very respectful, he seemed to call them immortal masters.

Although I have heard from some crew members that Lord Zheng's interest in going to sea this time is very high, almost all of them are similar to his first time. But for some reason, when I met Master Zheng, his interest was very high, but when he handed over the work of keeping a logbook to me, he showed an attitude as if this was his last voyage.

Although I know that Master Zheng is very old, I still hope that he can continue to live and lead me on another voyage! May God bless this old man so that he can live a long life!

But at any rate, the ship finally went out to sea, and looking at the waves, I wondered more and more what kind of land existed on the other side of the ocean, and what was there that surprised me.

The handwriting in the journal is all in small letters, full of a whole page, and it does not look like a modern journal with strong specifications, but more like a travelogue written by this young man who went to sea for the first time. And from these words, it is not difficult to see the surging blood in this young man's heart, as well as his doubts about many things.

Looking at the content of this page, Lin Bai was silent. Although the first page was written in a very general way, it still told him to find something wrong. According to the contents of the diary, it seems that there are not only seafarers who go to sea, but also a group of people who are called 'immortal masters' by Zheng He, and according to Zheng He's real mission to go to the West, those people may be the masters who inherit the legacy of the six generations of ancestors.

And according to the records in the log, it seems that Zheng He had a premonition when he went to sea that this voyage to the West would be the last voyage in his life. Could it be that Zheng He is not an ordinary person, but a Qimen person who can predict his own death?!

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Bai suddenly shook his head. No matter who it is, when he predicts his death, his interest will not be very high, but Zheng He has such great enthusiasm, which means that his work is about to be completed! What is the job, it is naturally a matter of arranging the eight-door lock dragon bureau, that is to say, this seventh time to go to sea is the key to arranging the eight-door lock dragon bureau!

It was only later that something unspeakably strange happened that would make this clerk and these huge treasure ships come to this ghost place and become like this?!

Thinking of this, the doubts in Lin Bai's heart couldn't help but get deeper and deeper, so he raised his finger and flipped through the next content, wanting to find the answer.

On the tenth day of the spring month of the sixth year of Xuande, it was sunny and there were no waves! To be precise, in fact, I don't know whether this date is right anymore, because after coming to the ocean, I found that the sunrise and moon setting on the sea are not the same as those in China.

This discovery made me feel an inexplicable sense of horror, and I even felt that in just a few days, I had rewritten the perception I had gained in books in the past few years. But when I told the seamen about this astonishing discovery, instead of approving, I was laughed at by the drunken crew, who told me, "Boy, you have much to learn."

The attitude of those crew members towards me has not been very good, perhaps because they found that after I got on the ship and entered the sea, I would have seasickness, as long as there was wind and waves, I would squat in the room, hold the toilet and vomit.

The sea is a mysterious existence, and it is also an existence that makes people yearn for it. I feel more and more that it is an extremely wise decision for me to choose to follow Master Zheng to the sea in the face of the contempt of those classmates.

February 14 of the sixth year of Xuande, fog, big waves! The good news is that I'm finally no longer seasick and can now sit and drink with the crew with my nose pinched. And I also found that these crew members, although rough and informal, are very warm-hearted people. And they also told me a lot of things I encountered when I went to sea with Master Zheng before, I never thought that there were so many countries in the ocean, and so many people who were completely different from China.

I'm afraid that my classmates who sit at their desks, shaking their heads all day in front of the Four Books and Five Classics, learning to write Bagu Wen, will never know that there will be so many glorious things in the world beyond the ocean, and they will never know that this world is much more vast than they know, and there are so many things that they simply cannot understand.

And I also found that drinking too much will give you a headache, don't write, go to sleep! Whoever wakes up first in the big dream will go to the toilet!

On the first day of March in the sixth year of Xuande, it was sunny and windy! We arrived at the country where Zen Master Xuanzang once arrived, which was called Tianzhu by the Tang Dynasty and India by Lord Zheng! When we landed, we met a lot of enthusiastic people, who looked very different from the Chinese people, and in the mouths of the crew, these people were called barbarians.

And I found it interesting that among the barbarians, people of status and status seem to ride elephants decorated with precious stones and spices. And those people are very respectful towards Lord Zheng, not only Lord Zheng, but also those who are called immortal masters by Lord Zheng, and they are also highly respected by these barbarian leaders.

However, I also made an unexpected discovery, among the leaders who came to greet Lord Zheng, there seemed to be immortal masters who had lived in this place for a long time. And after they saw Lord Zheng and the immortal masters who came this time, they were extremely excited.

I tried to ride an elephant once, and to my surprise, the behemoth was very well-behaved and had a smooth back.

On March 15 of the sixth year of Xuande, it rained heavily and there were no waves. The reason why there are no waves is because I am still in India and still standing on the land.

Lord Zheng is gone, and those immortal masters are gone, I asked the crew, and they said that the same thing happened in the first few times they went to sea, and every time they went to a place, Lord Zheng and those immortal masters would disappear without a trace, and they were used to it.

Maybe Master Zheng has some secret mission, this is not something that a little person like me can speculate!

In addition, although the people living here in India are barbarians, this place is extremely rich in spices and precious stones. The price of precious gems in China is as cheap as porcelain, and we exchange porcelain for a lot of spices and gemstones. According to those experienced sailors, the spices and gems exchanged this time have been able to make up for the supplies we consumed when we went to sea.

May 17 of the sixth year of Xuande, sunny. I was still in India and had not yet left, and Lord Zheng came back twice on an elephant, and each time he left, he took a large number of crew members with him. Lord Zheng seemed to be doing something urgent, and every time he went back and forth, he was in a hurry, but when Lord Zheng came back, those immortal masters did not follow, they seemed to have other things.

On the eighth day of December in the sixth year of Xuande, it was sunny. We've been here for nine months! Laba Festival has arrived, but there is no snow here, and these barbarians don't seem to know what snow is, so we boiled eight-treasure porridge, but Lord Zheng has not yet returned.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Xuande, it was cloudy. It's been another half a year, and we're still in India, and Mr. Zheng has only come back once, but it can be seen that Mr. Zheng is in a good mood and even sat down to drink with us once. It seems that he has made great progress in what he is going to do, and has reached the point where he is about to succeed.

I asked Mr. Zheng what was the matter with the wine, and Mr. Zheng opened his mouth unprecedentedly, saying that it was a utilitarian event that would last for thousands of years!

God bless the Ming, thousands of years! But I hope we can leave as soon as possible, I'm tired of being in this place.

On the eighth day of December in the seventh year of Xuande, it was sunny. The same weather, the same Laba Festival, Lord Zheng still hasn't come back. The life of the barbarians was very difficult, and there was nothing to do, so I began to teach some barbarians to learn poetry, books, etiquette, and music, but the children could not be taught. They don't understand the so-called benevolence and righteousness, they just want to get something from me, and they treat the cow as a god!

March 15, the eighth year of Xuande, sunny! When Master Zheng returned, and had been in the camp for two days, he told us that the day of departure was approaching, and that we were going to go deeper into the ocean, and that we were going to see more of it.

Heaven forbid, I finally waited for this day, and I was finally able to leave this hellish place!

On the fourth day of April in the eighth year of Xuande, yin! Lord Zheng is dead! Yes, it's Lord Zheng who died! This is the news brought back by Lord Wang Jinghong, who served as the envoy of the fleet and Lord Zheng, and with him are the shipwrights who have left in the past year.

I don't believe Master Zheng is dead, but he really is! God, why are you letting him die?!

Zheng He is dead?! Seeing this, Lin Bai's heart couldn't help but suddenly froze, according to the historical records he knew, if Zheng He died, it would be the time for the fleet to return! But if it returns, how can the ship be here?!
