Chapter 201: Soul by the Sea
?
Ye Yi hadn't recovered from the shock of seeing the sea, and said, "You know that I used to live in Wangxing Valley, how could I have seen the sea." β
Tianlan smiled: "We still have to go to sea, this time you can see enough." β
They walked along the beach to a fishing village, and after inquiry, they learned that this fishing village only fishes in the inshore sea and does not go to the deep sea. And the deep sea Ziyuan they are going to look at the map is almost in the depths of the East China Sea, and it is impossible to reach it without a big ship.
After detailed questioning, they learned that the big ships that could go to sea in the East China Sea were only available at Shenyue Wharf, and that Shenyue Wharf was about a day's journey from here. Upon learning of this information, they headed south along the seashore towards the Deep Moon Pier, and at the same time looked forward to this journey to the sea.
In the evening of this day, they came to the beach not far from the Deep Moon Pier.
Tianlan was walking on the beach, and suddenly noticed a 'girl' in colorful clothes sitting on the ground with her knees crossed not far away, staring at the sea. The 'girl' seemed to be sitting there all the time, but Tianlan didn't notice this person until she got closer.
He stepped forward and asked, "Girl, why are you sitting here?"
The 'woman' didn't turn her head, still looking at the sea, and replied softly, "I'm waiting for someone...... I made an appointment with him and would come back to me. So I have to wait for him to ......" Her voice was soft and hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time, but there was a soft feeling in her ears.
Tianlan sat down beside her and said, "Who are you waiting for?" Maybe I can help you keep an eye on it. β
The woman shook her head and said, "I can't remember his name exactly, but if he comes back, I'll recognize him." β
"Can't remember?" Tianlan was puzzled and said, "How long have you been waiting here?"
The 'woman' said quietly: "Maybe it's decades, maybe it's hundreds of years...... The change of seasons is meaningless to me, when it was a golden rice field, but now it is a sea......"
"You ......" Tianlan wanted to say something to her, but she didn't know where to speak.
At this time, a voice came from afar: "Hey, Tianlan, come here, there is the Deep Moon Pier ahead!" He turned his head to look, it was Ye Yi and the others who were waving at him.
The 'girl' turned her head and smiled, "Go ahead, your friends are waiting for you." I'm excited to talk to you, it's been a long time since I've spoken. β
Tianlan nodded and said, "Take care." Then he walked briskly back to Ye Yi and them.
After he came over, Ye Yi said strangely: "Hey, what are you doing sitting there alone? It seems that you are still talking to yourself, you don't have a fever, right?"
Tianlan looked back at the beach again, but the figure of the 'girl' in colorful clothes had disappeared. He sighed and said, "It's okay." Let's go. β
Before sunset, they finally arrived at the Deep Moon Pier. Under the curious questioning of Ye Yi and others, Tianlan had to tell them about meeting the 'girl' in Caiyi.
"What the hellββ! ββ!" an almost high-pitched scream startled a seabird.
Tianlan smiled: "It's a 'ghost', but a 'female' ghost with a little sorrow in the country's 'color' Tianxiang." β
Nangong Kui's face turned pale with fright, and he trembled: "Brother Tianlan, please, you...... Don't make jokes like that, okay?"
Tao'er looked very interested, and said, "Really? There seems to be a very poignant love story." Hee-hee, why didn't we see that sister? If it's a ghost, we can at least see the ghost fire or something. β
Tianlan replied: "In my opinion, she is not a resentful spirit, but an earth-bound spirit who stays in the world because of her obsession. She has no way to leave the beach, and she will not hurt people, and when her wish is fulfilled, she will return to the ghost world to be reincarnated. β
Momo asked, "What if your wish never comes true?"
"Then ......," Tianlan hesitated, "I don't know, maybe when her soul can no longer support it, her soul will be gone." β
Peach complained, "It's so pitiful. The sea is rotten and the sea is rotten, but she has been bound there waiting for someone who will never appear. Can we help that sister?"
Ye Yi's face was not pale, and he said: "Peach girl, are you too nervous or what? Aren't you afraid of ghosts?
Tao'er pouted and said, "You're just a Piao! What is there to be afraid of ghosts! It's a shame that you two are still men, and you don't have any sympathy at all." β
Nangong Kui said weakly: "I don't think this has anything to do with men and women......"
Ye Yi said: "But then again, I also wonder, why is it only you who see it?"
Tianlan said: "I don't know much about this, similar phenomena have happened before. I think it's probably because my soul is too sensitive, and too strong attachments can affect my will. β
Tao'er said: "Oh, isn't that bad? Do you often see some 'messy' things? Wait until I ask grandpa if there is a solution!"
Tianlan smiled: "It's not often. To be honest, there are not many powerful obsessions that can affect me, and only obsessions that transcend life and death can be perceived by me. So you don't have to worry. He couldn't help but think of the memory of Chu Dan'er he saw in the black dirty pool of the Bathing Spirit Forest, and only that kind of loyal and crazy feelings could unilaterally affect him.
Nangong Kui saw two familiar backs in front of him, and said, "Hey, look at those two people, it seems that Brother Xiao Yue and Sister Tongying ......."
"Really!" Ye Yi beckoned to them, "Hey, Xiao Yue!"
Xiao Yue and Tong Ying heard their voices and walked quickly, and the six of them converged again.
Tong Ying was very happy in her heart, and complained: "You guys are so slow, I have come full circle with Lord Xiao Yue, and I am twelve hours faster than you!"
Ye Yi said: "So you only arrived yesterday!"
Tianlan said: "I'm sorry, there is something delayed on the road." β
Xiao Yue still had the same unsmiling face, and said, "It's okay, just converge." We heard that you had to go to this deep moon pier to take a boat if you wanted to go to sea, so we came to you. β
Tao'er said, "Aren't you looking for someone?
Tong Ying said happily: "How can we find it!" We don't even know if that person is Fang or Bian, hehe, but a lot of happy things happened on the honeymoon trip between the people and Lord Xiao Yue......!
Xiao Yue had a headache and said, "You just say a few words." β
Tongying Lai Pi Lai's face was glued to him, and he said, "Okay, people know." The world is big, and my family Xiao Yue is the biggest. Your word is the decree of Kirikage. β
Xiao Yue was really helpless against her, coughed dryly, and said, "We came a day earlier than you and inquired." In addition to the military ships, there are about five or six large ships that can be sailed, and the prices are very high. But the strange thing is that none of them will go out to sea to the position of the deep sea purple abyss. β
Ye Yi couldn't help but immediately ask, "What's the matter, is it too far?"
Momoel grinned and interjected, "I know, because there are sea monsters, right?"
Nangong Kui said weakly: "Sister Tao...... They say there are no sea monsters......"
Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "Sea veterans say that this place is a deep-sea area that no one cares about, and there is a terrible vast sea fog on the periphery, and since a long time ago, no ship has been able to return from that place smoothly. The ship sailed past only to sink, and not even the bones could be found, so no one would take us there, and no one would pay us any amount. β
Momo sighed and said with great interest, "It's so dangerous! It's so fun! I must go and see it!"
Ye Yi said: "That's right! No matter what they say, they have to go, if they really can't do it, just grab a boat!"
Tao'er glanced at him and said, "Silly melon, do you want to drive a boat! If you want to sail away, you have to hold 180 boatmen hostage, you are busy." β
Ye Yi crossed his waist and said helplessly: "Then what do you say, I'll listen to you." β
"I'm ...... me" and "I" for a long time, and I didn't say why.
Tianlan concluded: "That's it, I think it's too late today. We'll stay here for one night and ask about the nearby dock tomorrow. β
That's it, the night was uneventful.
Early the next morning, everyone split up and went to the major docks, but as Xiao Yue said, none of these docks agreed to lend them ships and manpower. For these people who live on the sea, the boat is equivalent to their lifeline, especially the big ship that can sail to the deep sea, how can they lend it at will? This made them begin to wonder, what kind of dangerous place is the Deep Sea Purple Abyss? Could it be that there is really no return?
Ye Yi returned to the square where they agreed to meet, and when he saw that only Tianlan had returned, he asked, "How are you over there?" Tianlan didn't speak, just shook his head.
Ye Yi complained: "Hmph, I'm the same over there, a bunch of old stubborns, they can die when they go to sea! I don't even want to borrow a boat, and I don't even want to buy it from them, do you have such a fun!"
Tianlan leaned against the stone tablet in the center of the square and closed his eyes, and said indifferently: "I can only wait for Xiao Yue's news." β
"I said you, why notβ" He was in the middle of his sentence, when suddenly a loud noise erupted from the north side of the square, and a cloud of exploding black smoke rose, followed by a lot of screams, noises, and then a group of people rushed towards the square, shouting for help, as if they were being chased by something terrible.
"What's the situation?" Ye Yi straightened his neck and looked north, but saw nothing except the panicked people. He just wanted to grab someone and ask about the situation, when Tianlan suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's evil...... Soul Eater!"
His eyes instantly became cold, a burst of blue light appeared, and the whole person disappeared!
"What......" Ye Yi hadn't reacted yet, and only then did he curse in a low voice until Tianlan disappeared: "Damn! Get out of the way! You all get out of the way for me!" he went against the flow of people, but unfortunately no one in the panic cared about anyone, and it was impossible for him to rush through this 'tide' of people in a short time without hurting people.
