Chapter 7 Man will conquer the heavens

The wind was howling, and the huge waves swept towards the shore, and the ship that had just been put to sea for trial sailed was like a paper boat, drifting with the waves one after another. Above the sea hung a dark cloud of lead like a dark night, as if it were about to be pressed down. It's like the ancient mountain falling from the nine heavens, giving people an endless sense of oppression. The heavy rain seemed to be like an ancient sacred mountain smashing a hole in the Milky Way in the nine heavens, and the heavenly river poured into the world.

The big ship, the largest ship in the world in this era, was more than 30 zhang long, and the big ship more than 10 zhang high was nothing in the endless sea, like insignificant dust. But for those who are still on board, this ship is their last refuge, a guarantee that they will return to shore alive. They believed that such a huge ship could withstand the storms and waves of the sea. Because they can only hope to live if they believe. Because only by carrying the past can I return to the solid land and see my parents, wife and children again.

So at this time, everyone on the ship was just together, whether it was a poor-born shipwright and sailor, or those high-ranking officials and nobles, everyone poured onto the deck, wanting to do their part, but there were very few who could help.

Li Kuan pulled a rope, and his legs seemed to grow on the deck, not moving at all, only the pair of hands, pulling the rope under the swelling of green muscles, only the solemn look on his face, and the deep affection in the depths of his eyes. Sweat was pouring down his head. But it was immediately washed away by the pouring rain, and there was no dry place on the whole person. It's like you've just fished it up in the water. His boots were already filled with rain and were pouring out.

"I really didn't expect it. If something like this happens, will we be able to go back alive? An official asked the people around him in private.

"Don't say those frustrating words, you will definitely be able to go back!" The colleagues around him answered him like muttering to themselves, as if they were comforting him and convincing themselves. Because this is the only way to overcome the fear and anxiety in the heart. In front of the heavenly power of nature, everyone felt their own insignificance and powerlessness, thinking that they had been holding the authority of one side of the party half a day ago, and the officials who were in charge of one side of the people had become like this in this short period of time. The previous high-spiritedness, those ambitions seem to have become insignificant, and only living is their most ardent luxury.

The sky is unpredictable, the endless wind and the torrential rain hit the ship, and the dense raindrops smashed on the people for a while, but no one retreated to the cabin at this time, who knows what the final outcome of the ship will be, the unknown is the most terrible, and there will really be that kind of unbearable consequences. Those who are in the cabin are really dead. So even if they couldn't help, they would rather stand in the rain and wait, no one would want to accompany the ship to die in the dark depths of the ocean.

Li Kuan's arm gradually felt a burst of soreness. Overexerting himself and his arms gradually lost strength. The rain poured down, drenching his hair and sticking to his cheeks. His legs were still as firm as Optimus Prime, but his bloodshot eyes reminded him of one word—the trapped beast still fights. A qiē seems to be heading for the worst. The sea breeze blew, dragging the ship into the depths of the sea. The heavy rain swept everyone on the deck, and the electric snakes swimming between the clouds were like monsters in the clouds watching their eyes.

"Are you really going to die here?" Li Kuan couldn't help but feel a little desperate, in the face of such a predicament, no matter who it was, it would be such a feeling, the vagaries of the sea made Li Kuan feel deeply frustrated again. Before going to sea, he still delusionally thought that he would rely on such a ship to crisscross the seas, come from all directions, and let the endless majesty of the Tang Dynasty spread all over the planet, and only now did he know that this qiē was so ridiculous, thinking back to the era when the steel warships were running all over the sea, the sea was a forbidden area for human beings, not to mention that thousands of years ago, this kind of ship made of wood? But why is my heart still so unwilling? Why is there still the ups and downs of wanting to fight again on the lake of despair? Everyone knows that in the face of this kind of storm, this ship is not much different from a paper ship, so why still be lucky? People are such animals, and when they don't reach the end, they will have the luxury of hoping that they are the luckiest one in their hearts, and they will have these extravagant hopes in their hearts without revealing the final ending.

Although there are these inextricable thoughts in his heart, but there is no sign of relaxation in his hands, no matter what, only if he does it, he will have a result, and if he gives up without trying, then there must be no result, no matter whether the ending is happy or sad, but it carries his own sweat and hard work, that is what he has worked hard for, at least along the way, he will not regret it. So even though the whole ship was shaken by countless huge waves, even if the lightning was cruising and circling overhead, Li Kuan still gritted his steel teeth and grabbed the rope of the sail without saying a word.

"It's moving, it's moving!" A sailor suddenly shouted loudly, as if he had seen something terrible.

"What? The direction of the sails has changed? Which way is it facing? Chen Xuanzhang came with Li Kuan this time, and then boarded the largest ship in the Tang Dynasty with great interest, wanting to taste a freshness, but it turned out to be a bitter meal. At this time, he heard that the sails had changed direction, and immediately asked loudly.

"It's in the direction of landing!" The discerning sailor replied aloud, his voice so high-pitched that it could be heard far away in the pouring rain.

"Towards land? Great, this wind energy is sending us back! Everyone was shouting loudly in their hearts, but no one shouted, because it was uncertain whether they would be able to return to the earth, and the direction of the sea breeze was not necessarily in one direction, and it was not still going to the depths of the ocean before. So all they could do now was wait and wait for the sea breeze to send them back before it was time to cheer. So they all ran to the edge of the boat and looked in the direction of landing. I hope to see the land that has only been separated for a long time, but it has already made them miss it immensely.

Li Loose opened the rope in his hand, gasping for breath, this was only a short less than a quarter of an hour, but it made him feel more tired than fighting on the battlefield for two hours, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling before, under that kind of nervous feeling, there was only the thought of wanting to live in his heart, all the negative feelings were suppressed, and now he relaxed slightly, and he felt that his arms were not like his own. I don't know how long I haven't experienced that feeling of soreness and weakness. But now is not the time to relax, because in this vast sea, who knows what will happen next, so Li Kuan still maintains a considerable vigilance, a pair of eyes looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the lightning lines, like the chains waved by the abyss demons, make people feel bursts of heart palpitations.

The dark clouds cover the top, the lightning splits down one by one, a ship looms between the wind and waves on the waves, the ship is dead silent, the huge sails are full of strong winds, and the ship is sailing in an unknown direction, at this time, no one dares to say anything like the victory of the sky, because only after experiencing it personally, will you know how small the manpower is in front of the power of heaven and earth. At this time, if you let go of the fixation in your hand that is fixed on the ship, I am afraid that the whole person will be blown up to the sky by the strong wind. Everyone looked at each other with pale faces, hoping and praying. All the gods and Buddhas were all recited by them, just hoping to bring them back to that familiar land.

The ships on the sea, no matter how large, are really just rootless duckweed, because they are nothing compared to the whole ocean. Just like at this moment, the huge waves swept by the wind were overwhelming, pushing the ship from side to side, and it could only be accompanied by waves floating on the vast sea, or sinking in the trough, or being pushed to the top of the waves, and there was no one at all. None of the cabins in the boat were left behind, and they all ran out, because it was scary to stay in the cabin, where you could see nothing but feel the swaying up and down. So these sailors are on deck, at least they are dying, and they also hope to see the hope of survival at the first time.

Anyway, in this vast sea, they drifted with the waves, I don't know how much time has passed, but the waves around them have gradually subsided, and the sky can be faintly seen overhead, and this storm area has finally broken out. Everyone enjoyed the excitement of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and no one was exempt. At this time, they realized that it was so dangerous on this sea. At this moment, Li Kuan understood why he was guarding this natural treasure, and why the people here were still guarding the land and living a poor life. Because if there is a storm on this sea, then it is almost a death sentence. For the people could not afford to make such a large ship to go to sea, and their little sampans faced such waves that they had no other way but to be torn apart. Therefore, they would rather dig out unsatisfying crops in the land than wander through the storm.

But Li Kuan still did not give up, because the sea is the largest treasure in the world, and if a powerful sea force is not formed, the distant Dongying Japanese slave country, as well as the rich new continent, so many things cannot be obtained, he decided to make this nation the top nation standing on the top of the world's nations, then whether on land or on this sea, it must be the most powerful overlord.
