Lao Tzu rode a green ox out of the Han Valley in the west, and since then he has left the land of China and never returned......

But Shi Qingyi finally returned, but the return of Chang'an was not her way back, after a short stay in Chang'an, Shi Qingyi's footsteps continued along the eastbound road, this route she had traveled many times to the east again, Heluo mountains and rivers, Qilu land, Li Shimin was clearly in Luoyang at this time, but she went straight through the city, ignoring its pretenses, until, the end of the earth...... Where the sea meets the sky.

The ships of the Dongming Sect had already been waiting again, and it was from that moment that Shi Qingyi's footsteps once again stepped on a strange territory that she had never stepped into before.

The mystery of the sea is actually no less than the ancient and distant land of the Western Regions in Shi Qingyi's heart, and therefore, when she was finally able to set foot in her footprints at this time, when she traveled far away with the Western Regions, Shi Qingyi once again put aside the trivial things in her heart, and completely felt the natural environment completely different from the land, and the human beings born in this sea are completely different from the marine civilization on land!

In this way, during the months-long voyage, Shi Qingyi fully felt the attitude of life different from that of people on land, the resources of the sea are abundant, so the security of food has never been worried, however, it will not be long before even the most picky people will express their disgust with the food on the boat, for no other reason, this kind of food that is rare to see in addition to fish is seafood, even rice and noodles are rare, it is too monotonous and boring, but because of the preciousness of the shipping materials and the limit of the load of the ship's cabin, So that in addition to the necessary fresh water and necessities of life, the staple food of rice and noodles accumulated in the cabin is very scarce, and even these scarce rice and noodles and other staple foods are also left in the festive banquet before they are taken out for everyone to enjoy.

Therefore, like other fellow travelers, not long after the novelty of going to sea passed, Shi Tsing Yi also showed great disgust with this boring food, just like everyone else!

And during a long journey, there is no doubt that it is not just the food that has been unchanged for a long time that can be boring!

The endless sea at the first sight, her seemingly pure and immaculate blue charm will indeed make people intoxicated, however, after a period of sailing, it seems that the sea will always be a calm appearance, but often prompt people who travel on the sea surface involuntarily have a feeling of fatigue, after all, the sea is too vast, and want to cross the ocean, the time required often needs to be months, years, such a long voyage, In addition, the crew is actually trapped in a small cabin, so anxiety is absolutely unavoidable, and therefore at this time, the small cabin is actually equivalent to a closed prison, and everyone on board is a desperate prisoner from which there is no escape!

So in fact, if the fleet does not have a wise and decisive, or easy-going leader, or a set of effective and fair rules, the crew who has exhausted all hope and patience during the long journey is very likely to degenerate into a vicious mob, which is why the lonely ship sailing on the sea often becomes a breeding ground for evil!

As a result, piracy is a common profession on the sea, and even some merchant ships occasionally make a cameo as a pirate, not only for wealth, but also to vent their emotions. But of course, such a situation will never come out of the ships of the Dongming faction, after all, the power of the Dongming faction rampant in the East China Sea is not only a behemoth in the East China Sea, but also the current head of the Dongming faction, Mrs. Dongming, has clear rewards and punishments, and will not tolerate piracy, and for the subordinate crew members who sail ****** the sea, the Dongming faction gives extremely generous treatment, so the crew members are extremely grateful. It was precisely this gratitude that offset the resentment and despair brought about by the voyage on the sea, and the fleet of the Dongming faction was able to surpass the other fleets in terms of discipline and seafarers on the East China Sea, thus overwhelming the others and becoming the strongest overlord on the East China Sea.

Generally speaking, on the surface of the East China Sea, there would be no blind pirates who would make themselves uncomfortable and come to ambush and plunder the merchant ships of the Dongming faction!

Therefore, relatively speaking, it is much safer to take the ships of the Dongming faction than any other fleet!

――But of course, there is a prerequisite for this: that is, you don't have too bad luck and encounter a storm on the sea!!

Because compared to the worthless thunderstorms on land, the rainy weather on the sea surface is no less than the catastrophe of the overwhelming Taishan for any fleet!!

Although it was the first time to go to sea, because of the long journey, Shi Qingyi was still fortunate to encounter such weather on the sea several times! And at that time, in the face of such a grand natural change, a familiar sentence still rose in her heart:

The power of heaven and earth is beyond human resistance to manpower!

It must be known that Shi Qingyi at that time was a person who had already traveled all over the land of Middle-earth and set foot in the distant Western Regions, and only spent two years on the trip to the Western Regions, with a journey of no less than 10,000 miles, needless to say, the breadth of knowledge is needless to say, and in the Gobi Sand Sea in the Western Regions, Shi Qingyi has also seen the legendary black sandstorm attack, the kind of terrifying natural scene that covers the sky and the sun, and seems to destroy all human living environments, which is enough to make any traveler who is lucky enough to come into contact with it fearful!

And this time, during the long journey to the sea, Shi Qingyi was fortunate to come into contact with the power display from the sea again, which was a kind of natural power that was completely different from the inland sand sea, but it was equally powerful and terrifying!

Just as a gentle mother occasionally showed her cold and stern face, when the fleet encountered a storm, it seemed that the sun was always shining in normal times, and the sky was already cloudy with white clouds, and the black pressure seemed to be directly pressed down, because the environment on the sea was very different from the land, and the lack of mountains and rivers and vegetation coverage, so that above the endless sea, the crew of the fleet could not only have an illusion: the low-pressure clouds seemed to be about to fall at any time, It is also because there is no shelter on the sea that can block the wind, and the blessing of the wind is far beyond the imagination of people on land!

Under the strong winds and torrential rains, the originally calm sea is already a huge wave of waves, in the instant of the huge waves and extremely fast falling ships, the life of anyone in the fleet will become as little as dust, even the strongest ships that all mankind has ever built, do not dare to guarantee their own survival in such a natural environment, seafarers, except for the firm guard at their posts to maintain the stability of the ship, The only other thing they can do is to pray to God that they can let themselves live!

Along the way, Shi Qingyi has encountered several such bad weather changes at sea, but I have to say that her luck is really good, although in the storm, the ship she was on has also been in distress many times, but several times it was safe and sound and finally able to escape, but the fleet still suffered losses, several experienced crew members suffered accidents in the storm, and three smaller ships in the fleet were seriously damaged, finally, These three ships had to be abandoned along with the cargo they carried!

In this way, after several months of sailing, Shi Qingyi finally came to the destination he wanted to reach this time: the Ryukyu Islands, a place outside the East China Sea!

The Ryukyu Islands are located on the coast of the vast East China Sea, and the forces entrenched on them are the Dongming faction that is dominating the East China Sea at this time, this Dongming faction has a long history, and its ancestors were originally Middle-earth people who fled here to escape the long-term war in Middle-earth, so it has a deep relationship with the Middle-earth continent, but then again, although it comes from the mainland, this sect was only an inconspicuous island power in the East China Sea before thirty years ago, although it is entrenched. However, in the vast waters of the East China Sea, its influence is mediocre.

The real change came from the arrival of a woman, and this woman was the mother of the later Dongming princess Shan Wanjing, the mysterious Mrs. Dongming, Mrs. Dongming was unhappy because of her marriage at that time, so she took her young daughter at the time to leave the mainland, and came to this overseas land far from the mainland, and in the same way, because of Mrs. Dongming's insight and the huge power behind her, in a short period of time, Mrs. Dongming soon had firmly controlled the Dongming faction on the Ryukyu Islands!

Then, after that, the Dongming faction developed rapidly in the hands of Mrs. Dongming, and the establishment of long-distance shipping and the trade of sophisticated iron products made the Dongming faction very profitable, and the influence of the Dongming faction in the East China Sea increased day by day, and in just a few decades, it finally grew into a sea overlord on the surface of the East China Sea that no one can challenge!

For the Dongming faction and all the forces living on the sea, Mrs. Dongming is a mysterious and powerful woman, without her appearance, the Dongming faction would never have achieved today's achievements, and it is precisely because of the appearance of Mrs. Dongming that the current pattern of the East China Sea will be the dominance of the Dongming faction, so if you talk about the influence on the surface of the East China Sea at this time, Mrs. Dongming is unmatched!

At this time, Shi Qingyi had already come to the Ryukyu Islands and was about to face this mysterious Mrs. Dongming!

- Of course, for Mrs. Dongming and the Dongming faction in her hands, the arrival of Shi Qingyi is not a major event that is enough to shake the entire Ryukyu Islands, after all, even if you put aside your own strength, Shi Qingyi's identity, but ...... (To be continued.) )
