Chapter 6 The South of Zhangtai
Zheng Cangzi sat on the thick pine branch stretching out of the dangerous rock, put his hand on his forehead, and looked into the distance.
A little black trail drifted towards the shore with the undulations of the waves, it was not real, but it was not like the ordinary Puji sea bandit ship, Zheng Cangzi just took the rotten trees, seaweed and other things that drifted from nowhere, did not pay attention, leaned over and picked a few pine cones, and stared at the grass below.
A fat, gray-haired hare leaped past, unaware of the danger lurking in the pine tree above.
Zheng Cangzi pursed her lips, and a pine cone came out of her hand, hitting the front head of the hare like a meteor. Zheng Cangzi jumped off the pine branch lightly, picked up the hare, tied it around his waist with a straw rope around the rabbit's head a few times, grabbed a thin pine branch hanging down, sank hard, and then swung up vertically, turning over the branch that he had been riding.
Zheng Cangzi's childish thin face showed a rather complacent look, except for the teenagers of the sect, there were few people in the nearby villages who could compare to him, but he was not yet fourteen years old, and he could not become a side disciple of the sect like his brother Zheng Cangsheng, practicing the Dan Breath Technique.
Zheng Cangzi thought of the words of this sect's boxer Mo Nian praising him for his very good qualifications, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull up slightly, and the smug look on his face was even worse. Thinking that Uncle Mo Nian was just an ordinary boxer in this sect, what he said might not count, if he let Brother Cangsheng's master say something, his heart would be stable.
Zheng Cangzi thought wildly, looked up at the sea in the distance, but saw the blue sea and blue sky, and the black traces that had been floating in the sky were gone.
Zheng Cangzi was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat all his life, the tide did not turn, it was not artificially controlled, and the black stains could not disappear out of thin air.
Boat. Zheng Cangzi's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly took out the horn from his arms and blew the trumpet twice, then turned around and stood up, walked quickly along the trunk of the tree to the dangerous rock, and shouted back: "There is a ship on the sea." The deliberately muffled voice was a little weird, and he was short, submerged in the half-height grass, and disappeared into the dense forest on the low slope in less than a moment.
Xu Ruyu saw that the ragged young man was not much different from himself in appearance and clothes at sea, and his mood was relaxed, and he did not float to Silla in the Eastern Ocean or Luzon in the Southern Ocean.
The next day Xu Ruyu and Jun Shui were separated, they encountered hazy weather on the sea, and the next few days were stormy and rainy, in order to save physical strength and Dan Breath, Xu Ruyu was forced to sink into the Knowledge of the Five Senses and the Heart.
Guide Dan to rest in the hundreds of acupoints, note the suspension of the pivot acupoint through the Du pulse to the top of the head of the Shenting acupoint, between the eyebrows Yintang acupoint felt a little cool, that familiar and novel mysterious feeling quickly occupied the sea of knowledge, the mind instantly dissolved in the vast heaven and earth, and the monstrous waves around him became a seamless whole into a part of the vast sea.
The most subtle Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and Natural Breath continued to pour into Xu Ruyu's body from the Heaven and Earth Xuanqiao, Xu Ruyu used Dan Breath to guide, and that Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi immediately ran along his meridians for a long time. This place is far away from the world, and the Dan breath in the body communicates with the heaven and earth Yuan Breath without hindrance, becoming more and more refined.
The wind and rain stopped, and Knowledge was touched by the distraction that was still left in Knowledge, and it opened in an instant, and Xu Ruyu "woke up", but he didn't get up from the raft for a long time. The twigs had been scattered, and only a rotten plank remained, and in front of the plank stood a knee-high seabird, topped with thin white feathers, wet and hanging down on its forehead, and its tender yellow beak lowering its slender claws covered with yellow scales. The gray and white feathers on his body were disheveled.
On the night that Xu Ruyu's mind sank into Knowledge, the unknown seabird rested on the board, and Xu Ruyu looked at the seabird, thinking in his heart that it would take a few percent of the amazing sun's breath to roast the seabird just right. But at this moment, the seabird seemed to be aware of the twist of the head, Xu Ruyu actually saw the desolation after exhaustion from her small and agile eyes, her heart trembled, and she thought: Everything always has a spiritual surname, and this bird looks more spiritual than a horse. Thinking about it like this, I was embarrassed to attack her, and one person and one bird were safe and quiet on this narrow plank.
The shipboard does not know where to drift with the wind and waves, the wind and rain are gone, Xu Ruyu does not dare to drift to the southeast, if it bypasses Nanfu and Nanning, floats to the Southern Ocean and then returns, it will take a lot of trouble. Identifying the direction, I turned due east and drifted, and I was relieved that I didn't encounter a large island like Ryukyu Island and Penghu Island on the way, but after a while, I was worried: I might have drifted past Ryukyu Island when the wind and rain were timed.
The seabird is much more leisurely than Xu Ruyu, every meal eats the fish that Xu Ruyu catches, and the energy recovers in only two days, and it seems to understand that Xu Ruyu is also looking for land, and is not in a hurry to leave the ship, only on the fifth day, seeing the black and oppressive land, the seabird circled several times above Xu Ruyu's head, flapped its wings and left.
When Xu Ruyu saw the coast, he saw the young man sitting on the pine branch of the dangerous rock, and saw that his appearance and clothes were not much different from his own, and he estimated that this coast was in Southern Fujian.
A person who only crosses the ocean with a lonely board is too shocking, if it is rumored to go out, his whereabouts will definitely be guessed by everyone in Southern Fujian. From such a distance, Xu Ruyu was not afraid that the young man would be able to see him clearly, and the plank of the ship carrying him for nearly ten days would be shattered and scattered into the waves.
Xu Ruyu climbed up the high cliff, went around to the back of the dense forest on the slow side, and saw Mo Nian and Zheng Cangsheng holding a Pu knife in their hands, leading more than a dozen juniors to rush here, Zheng Cangzi walked in front and poked his head to look at the sea in the distance, and said, "I did see the boat." ”
Zheng Cangsheng pulled Cang Zi behind him, looked at Xu Ruyu vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "You seem to be a foreigner?" ”
Xu Ruyu said: "Qingyan Army Xu Boying and Baiyi's Ziyangqiu visited the king of Zongzheng County, we are accompanying the business trip to seek wealth, but Xu Boying and Ziyangqiu were detained by Zongzheng Xunda in Quanzhou, we had to return to our hometown alone, when our group crossed Longquan, we met bandits, scattered, and it took more than ten days to get here......" Speaking of this, he lowered his head to see if the clothes on his body were torn just right.
Zheng Cangsheng said: "If you want to go back to Qingjiang, the direction is too biased. ”
Xu Ruyu thought to himself: Since you know Qingjiang, I haven't gone far, but a surprised look appeared on his face, and he asked, "Where is this place?" I don't know the way to southern Fujian, I only know how to go north. Xu Ruyu also knew that he couldn't hide such words, this place was full of devastation, it seemed to be the tragic situation left by the Puji bandits from time to time, such a place, a large outflow of population, how could anyone flee here, which is also the reason why it is extremely difficult for the area to penetrate the secret room.
On the way to Quanzhou, Xu Boying set up more than 70 secret rooms among the displaced people in Longquan, and only when they got acquainted with the displaced people could they return to their hometowns together to play a role. However, Quanzhou, which is controlled by the Zongzheng family, will not be too difficult.
Zheng Cangsheng and Mo Nian glanced at each other, thinking: It won't be Puji's spy, let's let him go. said: "This is Zhangtai, a little south is Longyan, I heard that the bandits in Longyan are more fierce than here, if you walk along the coast for so many days and do not die in the hands of the bandits, your fate is great." If you want to go back to Qingjiang, you have to go to the northwest, but the northwest is not very peaceful, so you should return to Quanzhou and borrow Nanning from Putian, which is safer. ”
This is the junction of Zhangtai and Longyan, so Penghu Island is less than 300 miles to the south, and Ryukyu Island only needs to travel to the southeast for two days from here. Drifting from the open sea to Zhangtai, Xu Ruyu was in a good mood, but he pretended to be surprised and said: "Isn't it Wulingyi to the northwest from here?" It's a desolate place, but the road we took when we came to Nanmin was also the same, and it didn't seem to be unpeaceful. ”
Mo Nian frowned, and said impatiently: "Since it is said that it is not peaceful, there is a reason to say that it is not peaceful, if you want to take this road, we will not block you." "The square face that was blown purple by the sea breeze, with two thick eyebrows, but because of a scar that was pulled down obliquely, the eyebrow bone of the left eye was cut open to the corner of the eye, and it looked like three eyebrows.
Xu Ruyu was about to say something, when three small sea boats appeared on the horizon in the afterglow, cutting a route eleven or twelve miles from the coast from the north to this side.
Zheng Cangzi's eyes kept searching the sea, and then he also found an abnormality, pulled Zheng Cangsheng's sleeve, and said, "Look over there." ”
In the eyes of Zheng Cangsheng and Mo Nian, these three small sea boats were just three black shadows, but with their experience, they had already guessed what they were.
Zheng Cangsheng said to Xu Ruyu: "The pirates are about to go ashore, if you don't want to follow us, you should immediately flee to the place where the pirates have looted in the south." He turned his head to Mo Nian and said, "Master Mo, I'll lead people to the north to have a look, and you take Cangzi back to the village so that everyone can get ready." Carrying a simple knife, he led more than ten villagers to the north.
Zheng Cangzi glanced at Xu Ruyu and said, "Do you want to go with us?" ”
Xu Ruyu nodded hurriedly. From the gentle slope up, through the dense forest, the mountain rises steeply, along the ditch of the mountain spring up slowly two or three hundred meters, the right side exposes a mountain mouth, into the mountain mouth, only to find that the mountain is abruptly discharged, covered with lush dwarf pine forest, over the dwarf pine forest to go down to a deep green valley, the valley has built many houses.
Zheng Cangzi had already blown the alarm horn before, and the valley defense had already been operating intensively. Mo Nian and Zheng Cangzi did not go down to the stockade, but climbed to the top of a mountain in the north. Xu Ruyu followed closely and saw that more than 20 people were converging with more than a dozen led by Zheng Cangsheng at the foot of the mountain, and not far away, three Puji pirate boats carrying more than 100 pirates were approaching the shore.
