Along the way, Hou Wen's nagging never stopped. But in the midst of these nagging, a colorful world inside the Gate of Creation unfolds in front of the Flowing Fire.

It wasn't until they came to Wengang City that Hou Wen's nagging gradually stopped.

Efforts to find sea vessels were in vain. Now the wind direction is going straight to the south, if it is to go to Chu State, the boat is there, but it is difficult to go to Tianshan Island in the north, just driving against the wind.

In desperation, the two of them found Zhongli.

"You two should come directly to me and go to the docks to inquire about something? To tell you the truth, as soon as you arrived at the docks, my butler recognized you, and I was looking for you..."

"I have a boat, although I am a general, but I also have more than a dozen ships to do some business at sea, or rely on my salary, I would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago..."

During the banquet, Zhongli was very indignant at the behavior of the two of them not taking the initiative to find him, and poured three glasses into them before he was angry.

Zhongli let out a sigh and asked his own question.

"The wind is not in the right direction now, even if I give you a boat, you won't be able to go?"

Liuhuo and Hou Wen smiled at each other and said, "As long as you give us the boat, we can go..."

Early the next morning, Zhongli and the three of them came to the harbor, and Zhongli pointed to a large snow-white ship in front of him.

"See, that's the biggest one in my fleet. It is made of white-core oak from the Black Forest, which is light and strong..."

When the three of them walked in, they saw that it was actually a galleys. A triangular skew hung from the long mast, and countless long oars protruded from both sides of the hull. Look at the deck again, and there is a group of sturdy young men standing in the dark.

Take a closer look at these young men, what kind of sailors are there, judging by their strict standing posture and neat formation, this is a group of soldiers.

"Rest assured, there are twenty-five oars on each side of this boat, and a total of fifty oarsmen. It's all a good guy I selected from the army, let's go forward against the wind, even if we row, we have to row to Tianshan Island..."

Brother Zhongli's words made Liuhuo's heart warm, and even Hou Wen felt strange in his heart.

"Big brother, we will go directly to Chu from Tianshan Island, you are the general of Dongli, if it is inconvenient for you to go to Chu State, you should not follow..."

Zhongli didn't follow in the end, he knew that if he also got on the boat, then the lord of the country must have thought that he had defected. Going to Chu is not as simple as going to the grassland for a few days.

"Well, I won't go with you. These men have been my confidants for many years, and they can be trusted..."

With Zhongli's reluctance, the snow-white sailboat left the harbor and slid north.

When there was no interference from any ships around the sailboat, Hou Wen stood at the bow and waved his hand to Zhongli not far away. Between the waves, there is a faint brilliance lingering on the fingertips.

When everyone on the ship was a little confused, when everyone was attracted by the light in his hand, no one noticed that the north that had been agitating in Wengang City suddenly gradually weakened.

The flag, which had been blazing violently just now, suddenly drooped down.

The seagulls hovering in the air seemed to notice something unusual, and their cries became rapid and nervous.

Even the busy workers in the port felt that something was wrong around them and stopped.

Hou Wen slowly brewed, and the manipulator suddenly shouted loudly.

"Wengang City... The south wind is blowing... Everyone's clothes..."

Under Hou Wen's manipulation, this voice quickly spread in Wengang City, and the people of the whole city were attracted by this distant voice.

On the small floor, the windows were opened one after another, revealing countless bewildered heads.

In the square, flocks of pigeons were alarmed by the cry and flew into the sky.

On the city walls, the soldiers on duty laid down their weapons and looked out towards the harbor.

Even in the palace, the king threw down the papers in his hand and ran to the edge of the cliff to look down.

The entire city of Wengang was shocked by this sound, and everyone's eyes were on the harbor.

Just when everyone was puzzled, between two or three breaths after the shout, suddenly, a strong wind rose.

It's actually a south wind.

A fierce southerly wind revived the low-hanging flag.

The gale slammed on countless newly opened windows, and on the unsuspecting heads, slapping out large bags one after another.

The soldiers standing on the city wall hurriedly grabbed the city wall for fear that they would be blown down.

In the palace, the papers on the king's desk flew in the sky like snowflakes.

At that moment, the people of the entire Wengang City were shocked and looked at the miracle that appeared in the sky. In the port, General Zhongli stared at his brothers on the ship, with a trace of pride and a trace of loneliness in his heart.

The sailors on the white ship were even more in awe. Only then did they realize that the general's brother was actually an omnipotent awakened person, and hurriedly raised the white sails.

On the sea, two breaking waves were drawn behind the white boat, speeding towards the north.

On the bow of the boat, Hou Wen and Liuhuo stood side by side, looking at the beautiful scenery in the sea. Hou Wen didn't seem to have recovered from the stinky fart just now, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling stupidly. However, his next words made Flowing Fire suddenly impress him.

"Within three days, the entire Wengang City will know that General Zhongli has a brother of the Awakened. From now on his position will be unbreakable..."

The ship traveled all the way north, and during the journey, the flowing fire felt more and more the ingenuity of Hou Wen's spell. He didn't really change the direction of the wind on the sea, he just created a circular hollow in the fierce northerly wind.

The hollow was not large, and it was only about a mile in diameter around the center of the white boat. But in this hollow of the ring, the south wind is blowing.

The journey was smooth and the sea view along the way was not boring at all. The sunrise and moon setting on the sea, the birds flying and the fish jumping, make the flowing fire who has never been out of the sea very excited.

In a chat with Zhongli's butler, that is, the captain, Liuhuo learned something about Tianshan Island.

Tien Shan Island is located deep in the sea, in the north of the country. The climate is cold, with only two seasons a year, winter and spring, and the entire island is surrounded by numerous reefs. Only the western side of the island is suitable for boats, and there are many fishing villages scattered there.

There is no political power on the island of Tien Shan, and people gather scattered on the west coast to make a living from fishing. Later, the Dongli people opened up a route to Tianshan Island, and also passed on some farming techniques, but the spring on the island is too short, except for some vegetables with a short growth period can live, don't think about food or anything.

However, although Tianshan Island is desolate, there are many treasures. Fishermen often go out to sea to hunt a huge Jiaoyu, the fat of which is a good lamp oil, which is not only smokeless but also has a faint aroma. The bones of the Jiaoyu are very white and strong, and they can be made into handicrafts and various musical instruments.

In addition, this sea area is also rich in a kind of delicious cod, the Tianshan people made these fish into jerky and sold to the merchants of the Dongli country, these jerky has always been the mouth of the princes and nobles on the mainland.

What's more, in recent years, crystal stones have been found on Tianshan Island, which has made businessmen from all over the world excited.

"Jiaoyu, cod, crystal stone, this is the most valuable cargo on Tianshan Island," said the housekeeper.

"Your boat is going to go to the Chu Kingdom, right? go to sea with me, Brother Zhongli will lose a lot..."

Before Liuhuo finished speaking, Hou Wen took over the conversation and said.

"It's a loss, now there is no one else to go to Tianshan Island except our boat. At present, the goods on Tianshan Island are in short supply, especially in the Chu State. ”

"The housekeeper will purchase more goods on Tianshan Island, and go back to Chu Wugang with the two of us. At that time, your eldest brother Zhongli will be rich, and this trip will earn more than he usually earns in a year..."

After speaking, Hou Wen squeezed his eyes at the housekeeper, looking like he couldn't hide it from me.

The housekeeper also smiled after hearing this, "That's, that's it, if it weren't for the adults to cast a great spell, we wouldn't be able to go to Tianshan Island in this season anyway..."

Just as everyone was chatting, the sailor at the bow of the ship suddenly shouted.

"I see the island, Tianshan Island is almost here..."

Hearing this, Liuhuo hurriedly looked into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, a snow-white iceberg stood above the sea in the distance.

As the white boat got closer and closer, Tianshan Island became clearer and clearer. This is a large island of ice and snow hanging alone in the sea. The whole island is a huge mountain range, with a large number of cliffs standing on the seashore, and it is difficult to see the beaches that are common on ordinary islands. Only the west side of the island can faintly see a long coastline.

The white boat slowed down, carefully dodging the reefs in the sea, and gradually approached the west coast.

"The small village in front is the only port on the entire Tianshan Island, and even the trestle bridge was built with the help of our Sanyin Kingdom. We all call him San'in Port. We have our affairs officer stationed in the port..."

The steward seemed to be very familiar with the environment, and in a short time the ship approached the pier.

At this time, there were already many people waiting on the pier, they did not expect that there would be ships coming here in this season, and the clerk was very enthusiastic to see the people from his hometown.

"Oh, isn't this the chief butler of General Zhong's family?

"Send two distinguished guests to the island, and purchase some goods by the way..."

Liuhuo and Hou Wen were led by the affairs officer to the official residence of the port.

"The two adults are wearing a little less, and now it's just past the middle of summer in my hometown, right? It's getting cold here, and in less than a month, it will snow on Tianshan Island..."

"The two adults will take a rest first, and I'll arrange the banquet..."

Hou Wen stopped the affairs officer's busyness and briefly inquired about the situation of the crystal mine.

"The crystal mine cave is here in the north, it's easy to find, walk along the coastline all the way north, and you can find it at the end of the coast... But I haven't been there, it's too far away and too remote... And a few years ago, it was said that the village over there was in some trouble..."

Liuhuo and Hou Wen were not interested in wasting time in the port, so they simply packed up some food, and asked the housekeeper to prepare two sets of luxurious leather clothes to keep out the cold, and then ran north.

The two of them performed a spell of wind and galloped north along the coastline, taking a short break from a small fishing village to ask the local fishermen questions about the crystal caves.

But the farther north you go, the more something feels wrong.

At first, no anomalies were found, but the further north I went, the fishermen became more and more worried.

Later, I inquired in detail and learned that the annual sacrifice selection event was about to start again.
