Chapter Eighty-Nine: Take-off from the Treasure Ship
The whale burrowed into the sea and splashed several feet high, and when it resurfaced, another torrent spewed out from above the whale's head like a fountain.
Ji Ning'er was completely stupid, staring blankly at the slowly sinking giant whale on the sea in the distance, and his eyes were full of the shock that Fang had just brought him.
This is still Ji Ning'er, the first time she has seen a giant whale with her own eyes, in the past, she heard Jiang Chao talk about how magical the giant whale is, but no matter how Jiang Chao describes it, Ji Ning'er has never been able to form an image in her mind.
Until now, seeing the appearance of the giant whale with her own eyes, Ji Ning'er overlapped with the image that Jiang Chao had described, and what she was given was only shock.
"Is it magical?" Zhao Chen looked down at Ji Ning'er with a shocked expression, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched slightly, looked at Ji Ning'er and said: "Actually, this sea is just like land, there are also many animals!" ”
Seeing Ji Ning'er turning her head and looking at him curiously, Zhao Chen chuckled lightly and said, "We are just on the sea now, and there are many things that we can't see at all!" ”
"Beautiful corals, like that!" As Zhao Chen spoke, he turned around slightly, leaned his back on the side of the boat, looked at Ji Ning'er and said, "All we can fish out now is green coral, but if we can go down to a very deep place, there will be a kind of red coral, and that is the really beautiful coral!" ”
“… Can't you get it out? Ji Ning'er seems to be born with red, especially sensitive, when she heard Zhao Chen talk about the bottom of the sea, there is a kind of red coral. Suddenly asked with a yearning face.
"That's at a deep seabed, there's no way to fish it out!" Zhao Chen heard Ji Ning'er's words. Immediately drew a chuckle and said, "Actually." It's not just red coral, it's really good, it's all under the sea, but unfortunately, there's no way to dive down at all! ”
“… Then there's no way to dive! When Ji Ning'er heard Zhao Chen's words, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Zhao Chen and asked strangely, "But where do you know these things?" ”
“… Have you forgotten that I am an immortal disciple? "I forgot what I just said, and I missed my mouth for a while. Hearing Ji Ning'er's doubtful words, Zhao Chen suddenly smiled awkwardly and explained: "Since you are an immortal disciple, you will naturally know astronomy and geography, right!" ”
It's just that when these words were said, Ji Ning'er still had a suspicious expression, and Zhao Chen saw Ji Ning'er's appearance, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay." Actually, this is all said by the old man, and I just said it to you by the way..."
There is an almighty master, and that's it. As soon as there is something that can't be explained, they all push it to the master, whether it's a black pot. Whether it is praise or not, it is all borne by the master alone.
"Actually. Ancestor once said! Ji Ning'er heard Zhao Chen talk about her teacher, and sure enough. He didn't look for the root anymore, but after a while, he looked at Zhao Chen and said: "He said, sometimes think about it, in fact, you don't look like a person in this world!" ”
“… Ahem! Hearing Ji Ning'er's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally leaning on the side of the boat, didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, and immediately choked and coughed: "The ancestor is too imaginative..."
Although I knew that this was just what the ancestor once said casually, however, Zhao Chen, who was already regarded as a heart disease, couldn't help but beat a lot faster when he heard Ji Ning'er suddenly talk about it.
It was just a casual remark, and Ji Ning'er didn't take it to heart, even if Zhao Chen reacted violently, Ji Ning'er automatically regarded it as what she said, which was too absurd.
After all, even she didn't believe that Zhao Chen would come from another world, I am afraid that even if Zhao Chen said it himself, she would be thought by Ji Ning'er that Zhao Chen was laughing with her.
The boat traveled south, and the wind and waves were calm all the way, and two days later, Zhao Chen ordered to return!
At this time, they were already far away from Guangzhou Mansion, and along the way, Ji Ning'er had already seen too many novelties, giant whales, white sharks, schools of seagulls, and an octopus that Zhao Chen accidentally caught when he was fishing.
This kind of thing is naturally no stranger to Zhao Chen, but for Ji Ning'er and the other people on the boat, it is really an eye-opener.
When Zhao Chen fished up, Ji Ning'er, who was originally sitting next to Zhao Chen, saw that what Zhao Chen was fishing up turned out to be a hideous monster with teeth and claws, and his face turned pale with fright for a moment, and the whole person was paralyzed on the deck.
It's no wonder that Ji Ning'er will be like that, the eight tentacles of the octopus are swaying, and it is a Guanzhong man like Hou Yong, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost collapsed on the ground.
It's just an octopus, Zhao Chen put the octopus into the bucket under the frightened gaze of Ji Ning'er and others, cleaned it up, and it was immediately a delicacy.
Stir-fried leeks with octopus, and a little rice wine, it is extremely delicious!
It's a pity that no one shared such a delicacy with him, and everyone hid away.
looked at him alone on the deck in horror, eating a mouthful of rice wine and a mouthful of octopus, and felt that the gaze at him was no different from when he looked at the octopus just now.
No one came to try, and Zhao Chen was not reluctant, he was full of food and drink alone, and watched Ji Ning'er standing on the side of the boat, quietly blowing the sea breeze.
The corners of Zhao Chen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile, and then he lay down on the beach chair and fell asleep.
The vastness of the sea can easily make a person let go of the knots in his heart, and at the instigation of Zhao Chen, Ji Ning'er cried a lot, so in the next trip, the knots that were originally gathered between Ji Ning'er's eyebrows began to be cut off little by little.
The ship traveled for two days, and it was only four days when it came and went, which means that the treasure ship went around the sea in a big circle, and without doing anything, it turned back again.
Of course, it's not that there is no gain, after all, Ji Ning'er's depression has melted, which is already the biggest gain for Zhao Chen.
The speed of the treasure ship on the sea was very fast, and after another two days, the treasure ship had sailed to the offshore waters of Canton Province, and when standing on the deck, it could see the long coastline in the distance.
"At the beginning, I promised you when I was in Chang'an!" On the deck, Zhao Chen stood there, his elbows on the side of the ship, turned his head to look at Ji Ning'er beside him and said, "I want to take you with me, sit in a hot air balloon, and go above to see the vastness of the sea!" ”
Ji Ning'er's eyes were still unfinished, the closer she got to the coastline, the more reluctant the look on her face became, and it could be seen that Ji Ning'er was a little reluctant to end this short-distance voyage.
"Ahh Ji Ning'er, who was originally looking at the sea, heard Zhao Chen's sudden clueless words, and suddenly couldn't turn around, and looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously.
"Up there!" Zhao Chen raised his finger, pointed to the blue sky above his head, looked at Ji Ning'er and said, "Do you want to go up?" When you look at the sea from above, it's a different sight! ”
"But... But we're on board! When Ji Ning'er was told by Zhao Chen, she immediately remembered that when she was in Chang'an, Zhao Chen had made an appointment with her for a year, and she would promise to take her to see the sea above.
I couldn't help but be happy in my heart, but when I looked at the treasure ship now, I suddenly said something strange.
"So what!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he said indifferently: "It's just taking off, the treasure ship has such a big deck, are you afraid that you can't take off a hot air balloon?" ”
"Will it be okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry!"
“……”
And not long after Ji Ning'er's words were finished, Zhao Chen really began to spread up the hot air balloon on the deck.
It is really not impossible to take off from the deck, because the space for the hot air balloon to take off is really small, and only the moment it falls, because of inertia, it will cause a lot of damage.
Moved the space at the stern, tied a rope with a hook on the winch, and when others didn't care too much, Zhao Chen opened the space-time backpack of the mobile phone in advance, and waved his hand lightly at the stern.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the originally empty place immediately appeared a fluctuating water pattern, and when the water pattern gradually disappeared, an orange-red hot air balloon immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
The wingmen and sailors all followed Zhao Chen to Chang'an, so they naturally figured out the temper of the hot air balloon a long time ago.
As soon as the water pattern disappeared, a wingman rushed up with a rope with a hook, and at great speed, tied the rope hanging from the hot air balloon together.
"......" The people present, whether it was Ji Ning'er or the sailors, had already seen hot air balloons, but Hou Yong, who followed Zhao Chen halfway, looked at the hot air balloon that suddenly appeared in front of him at this time, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Come up!" The hot air balloon has been fixed, Zhao Chen climbed down the rope ladder above, climbed into the bamboo basket of the hot air balloon, stretched out his hand to Ji Ning'er below, and shouted.
"Good!" Ji Ning'er's eyes were full of smiles, and when she saw that Zhao Chen had really made a hot air balloon, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
At this time, Zhao Chen, who listened to her again, immediately became like a cheerful finch, promised in her mouth, and quickly came to the bottom of the hot air balloon, climbed up the rope ladder, and was hugged into the bamboo basket by Zhao Chen.
It was not the first time that Ji Ning'er had taken a hot air balloon, and as soon as she came up, she consciously stood in the corner of the bamboo basket and watched Zhao Chen light the fire and rise into the air.
Waiting for the hot air balloon to rise into the air little by little in the huge roar, Ji Ning'er's eyes looked out, and then, a vast sea appeared in her sight.
This is completely different from the scene seen on the treasure ship, in the middle of the air, the field of vision is constantly open, and the scenery that can be seen is naturally much different from usual.
However, even so, when Ji Ning'er was lying on the side of the bamboo basket and looking at the endless sea below, her eyes were suddenly full of shock. (To be continued.) )
