"Kong said Chengren! Meng said to take righteousness! ”

The sound of reading kept coming from the captain's room, but if you listened carefully, the sage's teachings were also full of irritability and urgency.

In the Age of Discovery, the probability of people collapsing at sea is several times higher than on land, the pleasure of general navigation is only in the first few days, and then it is boring day after day, the endless sea is always the same, as if boundless, people's insignificance is magnified to the limit, and they have to bear hard labor, eat rough and dry food, even a normal person, after staying for a long time, it is easy to become withdrawn, crazy, grotesque.

This is still a person with a hint of romantic fantasy about sailing, but Mao Xingjian, who is immersed in the great principles of Confucianism, is not interested in sailing at all.

And in his suffocating madness, the door was suddenly knocked again.

Bang~

The oak door was slammed open, and Han Xiaomo, who had already formed many experiences, accurately withdrew the small fist that he swung out from Mao Xingjian's nose, and then put his little hand behind his back and showed a silly smile.

"Big nephew!"

was about to go crazy, but seeing her, Mao Xingjian was really going crazy! Simply hysterical, he roared in anger: "No fishing! No sunbathing! Don't be hungry! Not thirsty! Not stuffy! Lonely to be by himself for a while, goodbye! ”

As he spoke, pulling the oak door, he was about to close it fiercely, but unfortunately, one step ahead of him, the little wild girl on the grassland slipped into the door, smiled and waved her little hand, and said hurriedly.

"I don't look for you to fish, I don't look for you to walk, I don't send you food and tea, I don't look for you to tell stories!"

"And what are you going to do?"

couldn't get out yet, Mao Xingjian hummed a little frustratedly.

"Aren't you a scholar? Doesn't it mean that scholars know the world if they don't go out? Now you will never be able to solve the things outside! Do you dare to make a bet? ”

Crooked little brain, Han Xiaomo was playfully yelling, but unfortunately, listening to the blink of her eyes a few times, while she was not paying attention, Mao Xingjian suddenly pushed violently, and with a stumble, she was pushed out of the door, and then with the door being slammed shut, a violent voice also floated out.

"Don't bet!"

"Whew~~ Are you hated again?"

Looking at the oak door blankly, Han Xiaomo rubbed her little brain melon depressedly, and then pinched her slender chin and turned around in a circle.

"What to do! What to do? I promised Sister Changping to take care of my eldest nephew! ”

On the other side, in the captain's room, on the big sofa where Mao Jue often sits, the Four Books and Five Classics, which are usually regarded as treasures, were thrown to the ground, and his eyes looked at the raging flames in the fireplace without focus, and Mao Xingjian suddenly dragged his hands into his hair.

Doorway.

"I'm not interested in fishing, I'm not interested in basking in the sun, I'm not interested in running, so I can't find him to swim tomorrow!" Well, that's it! ”

Shaking her little fist with confidence, Han Xiaomo pushed open the door of the stern building with great momentum, but as soon as she took a step out, a cold wind blew, which made the girl shiver, and then slipped back to the rear building.

"Good! Good! Good! It's so cold!! ”

The little brain melons were all shaking, and the penguins stomped and swayed like that for a long time, Han Xiaomo shook her head sadly: "Well, swimming!" Remove! ”

"Forget it, think about it tomorrow, run to the middle deck in one go, and then break the sleep!!"

Taking a deep breath, she once again held the doorknob with a trembling hand, Han Xiaomo made a starting motion, but as soon as she opened the door, there was a sudden bang behind her, which scared her so much that she almost didn't lie on the ground, and turned her head in shock, but Mao Xingjian, who had a white fox scarf around her neck and a thick cloak, came out of the room.

"You?"

"Don't you say that you haven't seen it? Okay, I'll make a bet with you! ”

Holding his head high, Mao Xingjian's tone was full of irritability, and he hummed impatiently.

........

"Forehead ....."

The cold wind was blowing, freezing and shaking, holding his arms, still kicking and swaying like a penguin, but Han Xiaomo's tone was full of excitement.

"Well, what is this?"

Mao Xingjian is really holding back, and it's not just holding back! Full of amazement, he held his head high in disbelief, looking at the sky, and his mouth grew big.

In the drowsiness, which seemed to have no day, a brilliant light magically shook the horizon, the bright green in the center, the dazzling yellow, the purple flowing at the edge, the soft dark pink, the light band was particularly beautiful and dazzling, and with the swaying, there were bursts of crackling sound in the sky.

The most magical, the most brilliant aurora!

I don't know how many ancient classics I've read, but this scene, it is estimated that even Su Wu of Beihai Shepherd, Wei Qing of Feng Wolf Juxu, and Huo Qubing have never seen it, let alone the prince who has been in the mansion in Jingshi City since he was a child, looking at this aurora in shock, in front of the majesty of nature, he was stunned for a while.

However, beautiful things always don't last long, and after the splendor, this aurora gradually disappeared in the dim sky, which made Mao Xingjian come back to his senses, muttered for a while, and suddenly turned his head to look at Han Xiaomo, who was breathing hot in his little hands, and he said coldly.

"I don't know what this thing is, tell me, what is this?"

"Listening to the old people, this is the most magical and brilliant wisdom of the Immortal Heaven! Only the most tenacious tribal warriors, with the most tenacious perseverance trekking north, can have the privilege of seeing it, and it is said that the Immortal Heaven will only bestow Huiguang on the most merciful and greatest Khan kings, and those who have seen Huiguang have finally become a party, sung by the psalms of the steppe! ”

is full of seriousness, and he can't even take care of heating up, Han Xiaomo said fascinatedly, but after listening, Mao Xingjian was still as dry as wood.

glanced at the sky a few more times, and in the sound of Han Xiaomo's stomping feet, with a click, the heavy fox fur cloak on Mao Xing's fitness was thrown on her shoulder, and the sudden warmth made Han Xiaomo stupid for a moment, and then she anxiously wanted to take it off and cover Mao Xingjian again.

"What are you doing, I promised Sister Changping that I want to take care of you, put it on quickly!"

The already rigid ice cube face was frozen blue, but it still didn't change the cool image of the prince, and the wood was facing the cold wind like that, and he was pushed back with a cold slap.

"Didn't Lone make a bet with you? Lonely loses, you have no jokes, lose to you! ”

Seeing that Han Xiaomo was still pushing, Mao Xingjian immediately shouted in annoyance that he couldn't put his beak on it: "If you want to wear it, you will wear it, so Qiu Zigu still has a bunch of children, you are going to freeze, who will bother Gu again?" Get out of here, don't let Lone see you again today! ”

"Oh yes!"

"I'll bring you food tomorrow morning!"

It's really a tendon, and I didn't think much about it, a little brain melon, stomped on the sheepskin boots, Han Xiaomo ran back to the middle deck covered by the wind and snow as soon as he slipped away, and watched this stupid girl get into the deck, and the prince who was still proud of the green pine facing the wind and snow just now was also frozen into shrimp in an instant, and his snot was hot and hot, and he rushed back to the captain's room.

Bang Dang! The oak door was closed again, wrapped in a thick sheepskin quilt, and for a long time, Mao Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief, but his hand had just regained consciousness, and he couldn't wait to get off the ground.

"There is light in the north of the underworld, the name is Huiguang, the color is yellow, green, red and blue, Wei Ran and the sky, compared with it, the insignificance of people is also ......"

........

From the beginning of this day, Mao Xingjian's journey was a little more fun.

In the sound of clattering, on the ocean full of ice floes, groups of giant beasts of more than ten meters and twenty meters, the size of a battleship, roared out of the water, and sprayed out a column of water, Han Xiaomo, who grew up on the grassland, looked stupid, biting his little hand, and watched these giant beasts rise and fall blankly.

This time it was finally the prince's turn, his face was full of disdain, he snorted proudly: "Isn't it a whale?" Every month, the Imperial Ocean Fleet can catch at least two or three of these behemoths, and the canned food you eat is the meat of this thing! ”

"What?"

Full of shock, he picked up the bamboo canned food box hanging on his waist, looked at it twice in shock, Han Xiaomo clicked it, and threw this thing far away in fear.

A few days later, on the endless sea, the fleet rarely docked on the edge of an island full of ice and snow for replenishment, and the crew chiseled the island ice to obtain fresh water, but Mao Xingjian and Han Xiaomo were like two white foxes, lying on the reef near the shore and looking down.

In the icy water, a cluster of pitch-black silhouettes and shadows were revealed, each of which was six or seven meters long, and the longest was even ten meters.

Han Xiaomo's little mouth opened into an O-shape again, and this time, even Mao Xingjian couldn't hold back his voice.

"Prince, this thing is a giant shark! It is said that the lamp can be burned for a thousand years with their grease, and the ever-bright lamp in the tomb of the first emperor is made of shark oil, but the sixth voyage passed here, after the captain Pang Yongjin ordered to hunt down the two heads and transport them back to China, His Majesty forbade hunting the giant shark people again, and the decree said that the sharks are the auspicious rui of the North Sea, and the fleets need to pray to them, which can be exchanged for good luck, not to encounter storms, and they will be punished by the North Sea! ”

What the hell is this? Manatee! There are only about 2,000 of these things in total, and it has only been twenty years since it was discovered by humans and it has been extinct, so it is an out-and-out poor worm! Even if Mao Jue wants to protect these giant fat houses that remind them of the huge but docile personality, he can only make up stories, fortunately, this story is still quite useful, at least for now, the fleet of the Northern Ming Empire that ran this route has not hunted another one.

Listening to the first mate's ostentatious explanation, he returned to the boat with a stuffy head, and the prince splashed ink and recorded it again.

There are giant shark people in the North Underworld, which is more than ten zhang long, ugly, Piton, oil can be burned for thousands of years, but its things are auspicious, do not hurt it!

Unconsciously, the manuscripts that recorded the weather, icebergs, plants, and fish along the way had fallen under Mao Xingjian's hands, while on the other side, on the Four Books and Five Classics, a thin layer of dust had floated.

There is more to the world than the way of the saints!
