For the next few days, I stayed on the ship almost all the time, barely getting involved in the outside world, because I wasn't in the mood to do that at all. Li Huamei's abnormality made me feel very depressed, and I couldn't arouse my interest in caring about other things at all.

Three days later, Mrs. Li's funeral ceremony was held as scheduled in Babaoshan on the outskirts of Beijing. At the ceremony, Li Huamei cried darkly, and Li Zaixing also wiped her tears silently, and her eyes were always red. I disguised myself and followed them closely, not knowing what to say, so I silently helped them and tried my best to do everything for the ceremony.

On this day, the drizzle never stopped. Like people's tears, I can really understand the pain of losing a loved one. So I didn't show any unpleasantness, and sometimes, protection and companionship are more affectionate than any kind of confession.

The ceremony was over, and I sent the Li family's parents and daughter home. Li Zaixing meant to let Li Huamei talk to me to ease the contradictions of the previous two days. But looking at her performance, she didn't mean to open her mouth at all, just silently hugged the portrait of Mrs. Li, bowed her head and said nothing.

When I saw this state, I didn't have anything to say, so I said goodbye to the Li family's father and daughter, put on a cloak to cover my face, and returned to the dock as soon as possible - the longer I stay in the Ming Dynasty this time, the higher the danger, and the more opportunities left for Zhang Siwei.

Although they were still puzzled by the sudden disaster-I mean the matter of the continuation of the peak, in the past few days, some people have begun to wonder - who is behind this series of actions?

Because, the directivity of this series of actions is too strong, so people with a clear eye can see the greasy in it at once! So I had to go, stay, and I didn't know what was going to happen.

When my ship left the Ming Dynasty again, it seemed that my heart no longer had the same pain and discomfort as last time—because the reason was gone.

The second uncle has passed away, and his last hope has been achieved, and the reformers he has promoted all his life have completely gained a foothold, and are on a par with the conservative forces. As for another reason, Li Huamei, because of her willfulness and unkindness, she has become indifferent and distant.

As a fiancé, I think I've done everything I can, and I don't have the ability or obligation to do the rest.

But the departure was still sad after all, and the people on the ship did not dare to say anything when they saw that I was depressed, and they all showed a very sad look. Only two people behaved happily - one was Kite and the other was Jang Youxi.

These two little girls, one is happy for my estrangement from Li Huamei, and the other is happy because I finally went to sea and left the depressed Ming Dynasty. Seeing them like this, I could only smile wryly and turn my head to do my own thing.

That night, our ship had already left Bohai Bay and headed for the Yellow Sea. After dinner, I was sitting on the deck, looking at the starry sky in a daze, when suddenly a voice came from my ear: "Qilan, why are you here?" ”

I turned my head and looked at the source of the sound, but it was Zhang Yunxiu. I sat up, looked at him and smiled, reaching out and patting the deck beside me. Zhang Yunxiu laughed twice, sat next to me, and turned his head and shouted, "What are you hiding there for?" ”

I was wondering when Jang Youxi's face came out from behind the cabin door, and he looked at us with a smile and walked over with his hands behind his back. didn't speak, just sat next to Zhang Yunxiu with a smile.

When I saw that they were both there, I asked, "How is it?" Are you still used to going to sea? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yunxiu to speak, Zhang Youxi first smiled and said, "Brother Qilan, you are always worried about this and that, aren't you tired?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't understand what she meant, I thought I was worrying too much, but looking at the expression, it was clear that it wasn't, so my face was blank for a while.

Zhang Youxi continued to smile and said: "A man who has fallen out of love, does he want to cry behind his back? We've found out、Are you embarrassed? ”

I scoffed and shook my head, this kind of child's words are not worth responding to at all. Zhang Youxi continued: "Brother Qilan, if you want me to say, an eldest lady like Hua Mei, don't do it." There is such a good sister kite on the boat, are you still worried that you can't find a wife? ”

I had no choice but to shake my head again and said with a smile: "I've only known each other for a day, and you know that you're coming to pimp?" The little girl has a good home! ”

Zhang Youxi stopped and shouted: "Why is it pimping? It's obvious that such a good woman is in love with you, and she is just reporting grievances for others! ”

I picked up a small piece of wood that fell off the hull of the boat and threw it towards Zhang Youxi's head. I burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunxiu had to stop Zhang Youxi, who was about to jump up, and said vigorously: "Don't make trouble!" Stop it! Get down to business! Get down to business! ”

I wondered, "What are you going to do?" ”

Before Zhang Yunxiu could speak, Zhang Youxi snorted and said, "It's not what my father asked us to give you?" Baba ran to give it to you, but you raised your hand and hit someone! What a pission! ”

I smiled and said, "Who made you poor!" Say, what to give me? ”

At this moment, the voice of the kite looking for Zhang Youxi everywhere came, so Zhang Youxi pouted and shouted: "Here you go, here you go!" You give it to him! I'm resting! ”

As he spoke, he stuffed something he didn't know to Zhang Yunxiu, but he made a grimace at me and slipped out of the cabin to talk to the kite.

Zhang Yunxiu looked at the back of his sister Tengteng running away, shook his head, turned his head to look, smiled bitterly at me, and then reached out and handed me something.

It wasn't big, and I couldn't see it in the palm of my hand. I held out my hand in confusion, and as soon as he let go, the little thing fell into my palm. It's quite light to start with, and it looks like a small stone.

After Zhang Yunxiu handed it over to me, he smiled and said, "My father only said that he would give this to you after seeing you, but he didn't say what he was for?" I've been studying for a long time and can't figure it out, so figure it out for yourself! I'm leaving! ”

After that, he also slipped out to the cabin and went to find his sister to talk nonsense.

I suddenly sweated, these brothers and sisters really can't see and leave, it's all a play. Forget it, no matter him, let's see what the second uncle gave me?

As far as the light from the cabin came out, when I took the little thing and looked closely, it was a crimson square stone! I vaguely felt that I had seen this thing somewhere. Frowning and thinking carefully, I suddenly remembered that Oda Nobunaga's sister and the first beauty of the Warring States period - didn't Aichi give me the same stone at the beginning?

I hurriedly took it up and ran back to my room in the cabin to find the little bag that had been holding the treasures! Open it a few times and find the square flat stone inside! It's really exactly the same!

In the light, I looked at two small stones, which looked like a cube cut in half from the middle, if they were to be combined...... What will be the result?

I put two small stones together with both hands, and something shocking happened!

The moment these two stones touched, the entire room was suddenly enveloped in a burst of brilliant red light! It's like a volcanic eruption! It's like pouring hot iron, exuding a breathtaking red light!

After a long time, the red light disappeared, and the two red stones had merged into one, forming a perfect cube-shaped redstone!

I pinched the little stone with the two fingers of my right hand and looked at it carefully, but I could not see a single trace of blemishes or glue, as if they were born like this, and had never been separated!

And at this moment, the pendant hanging on my chest, the small white stone that I picked up on Himeshima, Arashi's hometown, suddenly glowed with a dazzling white light! The red stone suddenly lit up again! One red and one white, the whole room is hard to see!

I had absolutely no idea what was going on! I didn't know how to deal with such a magical light, so I could only close my eyes, pull the pendant off my chest, and gently touch the two stones together!

Only a slight "click" was heard, and two stones ...... The two stones seemed to have a magnetic force, and they were drawn together and became half red, half white, half round, half cube-shaped! And the red and white light that has been erupting has gradually dissipated!

At the moment when the light was about to disappear, I seemed to see the figure of the second uncle smiling at me, and I saw Ah Shi bowing to me slightly!

As the light faded, so did the figures of the two! In a moment's stupor, my surroundings began to blur! I felt like I was in a starry sky! And in front of me appeared the bronze door that seemed to have appeared in a dream, floating in the air! This time I saw clearly that there were seven grooves on the door - the shape of the sun, the moon, the stars, and the stars, and the triangle, rectangle, and pentagon, which I don't know what they represented!

At this time, the two grooves of the star and the rectangle on the door have been filled, and they are the two white and red stones in my hand! At the moment when the stone filled in, the door seemed to begin to glow with a faint red and white light, and the shape of the whole door became more realistic! It's as if it's within reach!

The lock at the position of the deadbolt turned at an angle of about slightly more than a quarter, that is, about two-sevenths, in silence! Seeing this, I couldn't help but guess, as long as the lock was completely turned - the remaining five-sevenths, when the keyhole and the lock arm were completely closed, the door would open?!

What's behind the door? Another world? Or some magical treasure?

Suddenly, a very familiar, yet rather unfamiliar voice rang in my ears! It's a male voice! It was a male voice that haunted me: "Qilan! You're doing a great job! Keep moving towards your goal! ”

This is my father's voice! My father! Sun Zheheng's voice!

More than 20 years ago, when he hugged me and smuggled me into Dongying, although I was still young, but because of extreme emotions, his voice seemed to be burned in my head, so many years have passed, I have been a human for two lives, but I still linger!

Exactly the voice of the father! Where did his voice come from? I twisted my head sharply and looked around! But I couldn't see anything but a dark space!

"Father! Where are you? You're out! "I looked to the void before me but there was no answer!

At this moment, my ears suddenly sounded the prophecy that Granny Yunhu had sung at the beginning-

O young man who broke out of the sky,

Carry a huge treasure!

Back to the embrace of the sea,

Open the gatehouse of the road ahead!

Accomplish the entrustment and the oath that,

Find the Warrior's Badge!

Follow the call of fate,

Return to a distant homeland!

......

Treasure! Ocean! Entrust! Oath! Hometown?!

I chewed on this indescribable prophecy and remembered my father's voice just now! Don't? Is this door a test? As long as I collect all the seven stones, I can ......

Back home?

My heart trembled violently! "Father! Is that so? Tell me! ”

Unable to get a response, I angrily stretched out my hand and struck at the void, but I only heard a "bump" sound, and there was a sharp pain in my hand! I couldn't help but open my eyes! In an instant, the surrounding starry sky and gate suddenly disappeared without a trace!

This wave of the hand turned out to hit the wall of the cabin! With one punch, I punched a hole in the wall!

When everyone heard the sound, they rushed to see me standing in shock, looking at my right fist fixedly, but I was practicing what kind of boxing technique I was practicing, so they didn't come to disturb me, and they all retreated silently.

Only Zhang Yunxiu and Zhang Youxi glanced at the red and white afterglow in my palm and looked at each other thoughtfully......
