Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Storm

The sailboat slowly sailed out of the harbor.

The sea is calm and everything seems peaceful and charming.

Wu Tianxiao stood on the deck and set his eyes on the blue sea and sky.

"This son, your sword looks really amazing." Ngawang approached him.

"Oh?" Wu Tianxiao was still looking into the distance.

"I've seen more knights...... Your sword looks a little unusual. ā€

"It's just a gift from someone else, nothing special."

"The weather is nice today, it looks like the sky is clear and the sun is shining." Ngawang looked in the direction Wu Tianxiao was looking.

"The sea looks calm."

"Brother Tai, this sea just looks like this now, in fact, navigation will always encounter sudden changes in the wind and clouds, and then you will see how ruthless the rough sea is."

"Hopefully we won't meet."

"yes, I hope it doesn't have that kind of bad weather."

"But in other words, I rarely go to sea, and since I have come to this vast sea, I don't expect the wind and the sun to be beautiful," Wu Tianxiao said bluntly, "I will not be afraid of wind, rain, thunder and lightning." ā€

"This brother is a high roller at first glance, admire!"

"You've been through a lot of wind and rain, haven't you?" Wu Tianxiao asked.

"All kinds of winds and waves, I still survived tenaciously." Ngawang smiled brightly, "As long as you grit your teeth, you can get through any difficulties." For someone like me who lives on water, I've seen everything I should have seen, and nothing scares me. ā€

"Oh?" Wu Tianxiao didn't care.

"Even if there is a storm, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you keep going, there is nothing that an experienced boatman like me can't deal with, and when you see the last rapids turn into the end of the crossbow, you know that it should be over."

"Dawn will come, won't it?"

"That's right. The worst thing is to give up hope before dawn comes. ā€

Or...... Engulfed by the dark sea. Wu Tianxiao whispered.

"What did you say?" Ngawang didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing. It's rare to have a lot of sunshine today, and I want to soak up the sun while enjoying the sea breeze. ā€

"Haha, seeing such a vast view on the boat makes people feel comfortable; The sea breeze blows away all people's troubles, doesn't it? ā€

"Exactly." Wu Tianxiao said, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, "However, the hidden dangers in the sea also make me a little fascinated." ā€

"Maybe it's because you haven't seen it yet," said Ngawang, "and when the storm does come, you will realize how small you are in front of God, and you may be swept away forever by the rushing waves, and you will never return to shore." ā€

"How many days will we be able to get to the Chill Country?"

"If the weather is good, three days; In case of violent

The countercurrent is estimated to take six days; But that shouldn't be the case now. ā€

"Three days......"

"You can enjoy such a beautiful scenery! A real man should see that such a vast sea and sky makes people feel deeply impressed, isn't it? The last time I met an inkman, he wrote a poem about it, I forgot what it was called......"

Ngawang had been talking endlessly beside him, and Wu Tianxiao had already ignored what he said, quietly looking at the sea, and fell into deep thought.

Although he was still a little unaccustomed to the undulating surface, he was not worried about this, but worried about the state of the royal family.

"This brother, in the face of such a magnificent scenery, is he still distressed? Are you worried about your family? ā€

"Huh? Is it so obvious? ā€

"Hehe, it's all written on your face." Ngawang smiled and said, "But at sea, the sea breeze should still take away all your worries, take them to the bottom of the sea, and let all those troubles sink to the bottom of the sea." You should think of it this way. ā€

"Really?" Am I enlightened? Wu Tianxiao thought to herself.

Night.

It was getting dark. The sea was already covered with dark clouds, and the gloomy clouds weighed down the breathless.

The sea breeze is cold, and it doesn't feel as warm as it did during the day.

"It looks like it's going to change." Ngawang looked up at the clouds overhead.

The waves get stronger and more violent with the sea breeze.

Ships tumbled on the waves.

"Hmm...... I feel a little seasick...... "Wu Tianxiao said.

"I'll take the helm, you go to rest first."

"Don't you need me to help you look at the dots?"

"If you want to experience the thrill, I won't stop you," Ngawang said, "but your family will worry about you, right?" ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Now that I'm here, there's no use worrying. ā€

Ngawang glanced at the man beside him, as if he were some kind of strange creature.

If you say that the sky changes, it will change the sky.

The clouds were getting lower and lower, and the sky was darkening and gloomy. The waves rose and rushed high into the air.

The waves that were swept up by the wind hit the boat angrily, and Wu Tianxiao couldn't help but take several steps back.

"Stand firm!" Ngawang said loudly.

The waves rushed viciously, as if in a frenzied protest against the boat's advance.

"Oops! It's really bad weather...... It looks like an abominable sea storm! Ngawang sighed.

Wu Tianxiao looked down at the boat - the originally beautiful waves turned into black beast mouths, swallowing and swallowing again, the roaring waves were intertwined with the thunder in the sky, and they couldn't help but be terrifying.

"Are we in danger?"

"Look at me!" Ngawang tightened his grip on the rudder.

Wu Tianxiao looked at him, this boatman seemed to be desperately controlling his own destiny and life and death, and the wind

The scorching rain fought.

"No...... My hands are running out of strength! Ngawang shouted.

"You must persevere!"

"I ...... I can't use my strength......" Ngawang let go of his hand and jerked backwards.

"Beware!" Wu Tianxiao immediately ran over and grabbed the rudder with both hands.

Lightning pierced the sky like a sharp blade, shining brightly, illuminating the dark sky and sea.

Thunder roared, and ships trembled in the waves.

Lightning and thunder, winds roaring, the sea was raging, and the ships were like little toys, undulating violently on the wild and boundless sea.

The storm of the sea tore apart the beautiful picture of the blue sea and white sails in Wu Tianxiao's memory.

"This is the bearing of the sea, the dark side of the sea." Wu Tianxiao heard herself.

It was difficult for Wu Tianxiao to even stand firmly on the boat.

This stormy sea and storm were something he had never experienced before.

"Ngawang, Ngawang! How are you? Wu Tianxiao shouted.

"Are we really not going to be swallowed up by the sea?" Ngawang shouted, fear permeating his voice.

"Are you really worried now?" Wu Tianxiao had already soaked his whole body in the torrential rain.

"Of course I'm worried!" Awang's face was full of fear.

"What's the use of just worrying, can you still take the helm!" Wu Tianxiao shouted at him, "Concentrate!" ā€

"My hand is no longer at my disposal, and you must save us." Ngawang's face was contorted with horror.

"Ngawang, cheer up!" Wu Tianxiao shouted at him while trying to take the helm, "We must live!" ā€

"It's a storm...... Will we really be spared? Ngawang knelt down, and his heart was now filled with nothing but fear, but doubt.

Wu Tianxiao's instinct for survival forced him to take the helm. Ngawang just knelt on his knees, his face covered with tears, rain and seawater.

"You...... You cheer up a little! Wu Tianxiao shouted to Ngawang, trying to awaken his consciousness.

"No more...... It's horrible...... I—I can't hide...... We are cursed by the sea...... We're done...... It's horrible......"

"Don't give up!"

"No, it's terrible...... It's terrible......" Ngawang seemed to be muttering only the words "terrible", and he could only repeat them in his mouth now.

"Hey! Are you scared out of your soul? Wu Tianxiao looked at the frightened Awang, and did not forget to take the helm with both hands.

However, God seems to have set his mind on opposing them.

The ship was suddenly hit by a strong storm, the wind was strong, and the waves were monstrous.

This wind ...... It's only increasing, not decreasing! Wu Tianxiao thought to herself. The wind was blowing more and more fiercely, and it was already difficult for him to open his mouth, and the dark sky and the waves rushing in from time to time made it impossible for him to see the light of day.

We will be caught by the waves

Engulfed? Wu Tianxiao thought to herself.

"This bit of weather...... It's nothing......" Ngawang whispered.

A storm struck head-on, and a huge wave hit the ship from behind, and the ship was dealt a fatal blow!

This blow really scared Ngawang.

"Ahh I was wrong! We're all done! Ngawang was scared to death.

"Why are you scared like this all of a sudden?" Wu Tianxiao was not afraid.

The sky and the sea were pitch black, and every now and then lightning flashed, and the ship shook violently.

Ngawang cried out: "Although...... I've had storms...... But I've never encountered such a violent one! We're going to die! ā€

The wind and rain were so stormy that the sailboat could no longer withstand any damage.

"This ship has reached its limit!" Ngawang cried and shouted, "We can't do it anymore! It's over! It's all over! ā€

"Ngawang! Calm down! ā€

"How do you tell me to calm down!"

"Don't be afraid!"

"This storm is getting bigger and bigger...... "Ngawang was already desperate, "No, I don't want to die, it's so terrible......"

Wu Tianxiao could no longer open his mouth, his vision was blurred by the water, and his hearing was blocked by the wind. All he felt was the bitter cold of the water all around him, the pain of a dying man struggling desperately, and a deep despair.

The other guests on the boat, some of them were also standing on the deck, not only drenched by the torrential rain, but also soaked by the waves in the next second.

"Heavenly ...... It will eventually come to pass. Someone on the boat began to mumble to themselves, "It's all just an illusion...... None of these feelings are real. ā€

The storm grew fiercer and fiercer, robbing the last glimmer of hope from the people on board.

Finally, the ship could no longer stand the violent blow of the storm, and the impact of the huge waves was close to falling apart.

Wu Tianxiao slipped to the side, and before he even had time to shout, he was swallowed up by the waves that followed.
