Xiaoqing took Xu Xian to a small village by the sea.

The village is not big, there are only a few dozen families, and you can see a long wooden trestle bridge extending into the sea by the sea, and there is a small market by the sea, and there are some people in black who come and go, as if they are doing some business.

In the village, there was a faint amount of smoke rising, not ordinary cooking smoke, as if it were smoke from a furnace.

The small village was quiet and mysterious, Xu Xian looked at it for a long time before he withdrew his gaze, he did not rush into the village with Xiaoqing.

"This is the small village I found." Xiao Qing said, "The people here are all producing bronze utensils, and some other utensils, but there are no iron casting, I don't know why." ”

Xu Xian said: "Because iron tools are easily corroded in seawater, iron tools are generally not used in humid places, which may also be related to the living habits of the Sea Tribe. ”

"It seems that my brother-in-law still knows a lot about the Sea Clan, why don't we go in and have a look?" Xiaoqing asked.

"Good!" Xu Xian nodded, and the two walked towards the small village together.

The two did not go directly into the village, but went to the small-looking market by the sea, where there were a few people who looked like vendors, with their own copper utensils, mainly a few bronze mirrors, waiting for bystanders.

There were two boats parked on the sea, and from the boats came several men wrapped in black, who only showed their eyes out, much like Arab women.

After these black-clothed people came over, they walked around a few vendors, casually looked at the quality of the bronze mirror, and then they set their eyes on Xu Xian and Xiaoqing, because Xu Xian and Xiaoqing's clothes were different from ordinary people, and they seemed to have doubts about the origin of Xu Xian and Xiaoqing.

But in the end, they didn't say much and went straight into the village.

"What are you here for, two?" After the man in black left, an old man in his forties and fifties from one of the vendors came over and asked.

Xu Xian smiled and said, "I'm here to do business." ”

The old man said: "There is not much business today, if you want to do business, you can do it, but you can't rob our business, you can't sell the same goods as us, otherwise please leave here......"

"Hmph, who said you were only allowed to sell these things?" Xiaoqing said with some dissatisfaction.

Xu Xian stopped Xiaoqing and said to the old man with a smile: "I naturally understand that since I am borrowing your land to do business, I will naturally not rob you of your business, so I will take a look in the village first." ”

Xu Xian didn't want to have any arguments with the locals, so he took Xiaoqing to the village, he wanted to observe the black-clothed people.

"Brother-in-law, what goods do you want, just tell me, we can go and trade with the Sea Clan!" Little Qingdao.

"Those men in black aren't Sea Clansmen." Xu Xian shook his head and said.

Xiaoqing was surprised: "How does my brother-in-law know that they are not from the Sea Clan?" ”

Xu Xian said: "Obviously, these black-clothed people are just people living on islands, the Hai Clan people should not come to the land, at most they will go to the islands, these black-clothed people are considered middlemen who trade with the land people, but with these people, we should be able to find the islands that trade with the Sea Clan, and then we will be able to find the whereabouts of the Sea Clan." ”

Xiaoqing looked very admiring and said: "Brother-in-law thinks that he is more thoughtful than others, so let's follow these people to find the Sea Clan?" ”

Saying that, Xiaoqing seemed to want to knock Xu Xian unconscious again.

Xu Xian said: "It's best to find a boat, let's follow these people and set off, it's best to be able to track these people in secret, but we still have to see what goods they choose." ”

……

……

Xu Xian followed Xiaoqing to the village.

The village is very small, many of the houses inside are empty, after a few black-clothed people walked around the village, they came out with some more copper utensils in their hands, Xu Xian already knew in his heart, these people are very interested in metal utensils, which means that the sea people are very in need of these things, and they can exchange the treasures in the sea water with them for metal utensils.

When the man in black left the village, he found Xu Xian and Xiaoqing again, but they didn't react excessively, and then these people went outside the trestle and got on the boat.

"Where can I find the boat?" Xu Xian asked.

Xiaoqing blinked and said, "I can go and get a boat, but my brother-in-law has to wait here first." ”

"Go and get back." Xu Xian knew that Xiaoqing was going to use a spell to change the ship, so he deliberately did not go out with Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing left the village, and at this moment, the ships of those men in black also set sail.

After a while, Xiaoqing came back, panting and said, "Brother-in-law, the boat has been found." ”

"Really?"

Xu Xian followed Xiaoqing out of the village and arrived at a reef, but when he saw a small boat parked there, Xu Xian smiled bitterly: "There are no sails, not even oars, how can you chase the big boats of those men in black?" ”

"Then maybe that's it." Xiaoqing looked very confident and said, "Maybe the sea just follows the current to catch up?" ”

Saying that, Xiaoqing had already jumped on the boat and greeted Xu Xian, "Brother-in-law, come quickly." ”

Xu Xian couldn't help frowning, he thought to himself: "If it weren't for the fact that there was a person in front of him who knew how much of a spell he was going to go to sea, how arrogant and ignorant would he be?" When you go to the sea and experience a little wind and waves, you have to feed the sharks. ”

Unable to suppress the desire in his heart to find the Sea Clan, Xu Xian still jumped on the boat.

Xiao Qing pointed to the distance and said, "Those people's boats are in front, see if you can catch up." ”

Immediately the boat left the shore reef, as Xiaoqing said before, the direction of the "current" is really in the direction of those big ships, the distance is very far, the big ship sails in front, the small boat follows far away, just don't lose it.

"Looks like even God is helping us." Xiaoqing looked very happy.

After following for about two hours, he couldn't even see the shore at all, Xu Xian still felt a little ridiculous in his heart, and at this moment, the sky also changed, and the sea was foggy.

"Not good." Xu Xian said, "This fog, it doesn't seem like it started suddenly, but it seems that this water area has been entangled by fog, in some legends about the sea clan, this fog is also mentioned, it seems that we can only find a way to go back, and if we go on like this, we can only go deeper into the ocean, neither can we keep up with the boats of those men in black, nor can we go back." ”

Xiaoqing looked very relaxed and said: "Brother-in-law, we are all following the current like those boats, we can't tell the direction here, can they be able to distinguish it?" As long as we follow the current, we will definitely find a place for the sea people to trade...... And even if I want to go back now, I can't go back! ”

Xu Xian nodded, at this time, he could only completely believe in Xiaoqing, otherwise he would only be buried in the sea.
