Chapter 12: The Disaster of Innocence
The next few days were unexpected. Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan's actions were tacitly staggered in time, and Qi Huan even felt that the two of them seemed to have discussed. It's a little apprehensive, but it's okay, and I hope it continues.
The ships traveled for many days, occasionally returning to land for resupply. Most of those landmasses are jutting terrain, or neighboring islands. Eventually, they came to the far south of the continent. The supervisor finally explained what to Jun Aoyan, and left with the sailors on the ship. Unexpectedly, Shui Wujun didn't come, Bai Ya thought that he would explain something to him at the end as Qi Huan said...... But Shui Wujun did not appear. Forget it, it's not a big deal, just take it one step at a time.
The three of them were left next, and they had to cross the ocean to the remote Biluo Islands. Fortunately, it only took one day in the past, and now it is also smooth. As soon as it was dawn, they set off again, and if they were lucky, they would be there before dark. Now, the scenery they could see on the land was very desolate, and they didn't know what it was like over there.
"This time is a bit hanging......" Qi Huan looked at Sha Zhong, feeling a little empty.
"What's wrong?" Ao Yan asked.
"If we land on the island before it gets dark...... In that strange place, there is something dangerous. β
"Indeed." Ao Yan sighed, "I can only pray that we have smooth sailing." β
"yes...... Eh, what about the Baiya people? β
Qi Huan remembered that he was still standing at the stern of the boat at first, and he would see that the person was gone. He circled the boat and couldn't find where he went. Just as he was about to enter the cabin to take a look, Bai Ya suddenly "banged" and smashed the position in front of him, startling him. Qi Huan raised his head and looked at the mast that was holding up the full sails.
"Are you a monkey?" Qi Huan patted his chest, "I'm scared to death." β
"Something isn't right." Bai Ya didn't pick up this stubble, "I can't see the sea area in front of me clearly." β
"Cut, then who can see clearly."
"It's all sea fog in that area."
"But now...... Isn't it calm? β
Bai Ya just kept shaking his head, muttering "Something is wrong, something is wrong".
Jun Aoyan just walked over and heard his words. She also looked in the direction of the boat, but she didn't see anything. She thought for a moment and said to the two:
"Didn't Taishi Yue Bai Zhi tell us that it is safe to travel in seven days?"
"Hey, you also believe the words of the court."
Jun Aoyan didn't quarrel with him, she believed what Taishi said, but she was a little unsure at the moment. Qi Huan stood there thinking about it, scratching his head, and his face became solemn. When Bai Ya walked away, Ao Yan asked him:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Within seven days...... Isn't Yue Baizhi playing some word game with us? β
"How so? There is no need for the court to make things difficult for us. β
"It's hard to say." Qi Huan folded his arms, "What if the seven days she said are seven days in total...... We've dragged on until now, and it's taken so many days, and it's hard to say what the weather is. β
"Do you know yin-yang arts?" Ao Yan asked, "I heard that thing can tell the weather?" I don't know anything about this. β
Pray for the spirit. He clapped his hands: "I'll do a little." There are tools on the ship, so I'll do the math. β
He turned and slipped into the cabin. Jun Aoyan was a little curious, so he followed to see. After a while, there was the sound of rummaging through the cabin. Bai Ya glanced inside, took a fruit in his hand, and looked ahead while nibbling on it. After taking a bite, he felt that it was not very fresh after leaving it for a long time, and it was wasted when he lost it, so he finished it with a frown. This iron-beaten stomach can eat two days' worth of food, who are you afraid of?
They drifted peacefully at sea for most of the day, and nothing happened. Towards dusk, a faint golden glow hung over the ship. After blowing the sea breeze for so long, Bai Ya was a little tired. He stretched, and it didn't look like he was worried about a shipwreck. He casually lifted the curtain of the cabin and was stunned.
ββ¦β¦ What are you singing? β
The ground was in shambles, there was not a place to put your feet down, and almost all the boxes and bags in the cabin were turned upside down. Some tortoise shells, weeds, and strange coins for divination. Paper talismans with strange symbols were scattered everywhere, and the box containing the Yin-Yang magic equipment was almost turned upside down. There is not much left to eat, otherwise the empty seams can fill the rice. Aoyan sat on an empty box, his feet off the ground, and Qi Huan lay on the ground and didn't know what he was doing. Bai Ya wanted to rush up and kick his ass, but he held back.
"Well, something went wrong with the foresight process." He scratched his head, "It's all your nonsense in the morning, and I'm still worried about the weather at night." β
"It's going to be dark soon." Ao Yan added.
"It's a disaster that can't be avoided, so don't toss these. The question is, have you come up with something? β
"This, uh, the weather is not good to say." Qi Huan frowned, "It feels like it's messy, it's wind and rain." β
"Nope. He also talked about earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. β
"I'm not, I don't have you, don't talk nonsense!"
Qi Huan patted the soil, full of mess. Although the next words are very serious, his disgraced appearance is really not convincing:
"But listen to me, no matter how I calculate it, it's a great omen!"
Jun Aoyan smiled: "You can't be allowed, right?" β
"Wow, why don't you believe me, I'm sad."
"Don't be poor." Bai Ya frowned, "Go outside and look at it yourself." Is there a boat on this boat? Rafts are also fine. β
When the two heard this, they hurriedly got up and walked out, and Qi Huan almost slipped and fell. At some point, the sky became a little dark. It was almost night, but it was unnatural. The twilight of the first few days was dark blue, and the warm light disappeared, leaving a little cool color as the last trace of the day. Today is different, today's color is close to gray, but it is not black, which makes people feel uneasy. It stands to reason that they had sailed into the confines of the archipelago, and from time to time they could see some small islands drifting behind them. But now, they could not see the outline of anything, and no seabirds had landed on the ship.
ββ¦β¦ Is it sea fog? "This is not a large ship, and there are no smaller ships. β
"HardγDid we meet a youkai?" Qi Huan rubbed his arm, the cloth scraped his skin itching, "Isn't the weather good?" I'm afraid it's not the sea seat. β
The ebb and flow of the waves gradually became more turbulent and more frequent, and the vague feeling of weightlessness was layered on top of each other, sometimes making people untenable. Bai Ya looked left and right, raised his head, and looked at the raised sail. He stepped on it in twos and threes, and with one slash cut the rope, and the sail suddenly fell.
"Hmm-what are you doing?"
Unfortunately, the edge of the sail covered Qi Huan's head. His hair was messy when he ripped it off.
"If you want to live, don't complain. Lower the sails, and if the wind blows, you will be affected. β
Jun Aoyan was a little puzzled: "Is there sea fog...... How can it be windy? β
"If it's a monster, anything can happen."
With that, Bai Ya had already pulled out the black and white scimitar from behind him. Jun Aoyan was silent for a moment, and also returned to the cabin to get the Mo knife. Qi Huan looked Bai Ya up and down, his eyes were strange.
"I didn't expect you to believe the monster's claim."
"Intuition."
"Well, even if you say that......"
Suddenly, the entire hull seemed to have hit something, and it trembled violently. Strange to say, the islands of the Biluo Islands are far apart and the waters are deep, and according to the previous records, there are no dangerous reefs at all. But at this moment, it was as if they had hit the rocks, and there was a strange "crunch" grinding sound from the bottom of the ship, and they even felt a vibration from the deck. Jun Aoyan took the Mo knife to control the balance, and walked a little staggered, but he was also very alert.
"What's going on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck the nearby sea, and there was a piercing crackling sound. The light of that moment ignited the thick gray mist around itβin the mist, there were many wandering, strangely shaped shadows. They can't tell if the shadows are real or not, and if so, what they are. They don't know how close they are to them. Then came a thunderclap, billowing and deafening.
"It's raining?!"
I could already feel the faint wind, with a sharp aura. Bai Ya looked around and felt that he couldn't judge the specific direction of the wind. It is disorderly, coming from all directions, and the purpose is to provoke them, and it is intensifying. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, but the fog around it is getting thicker and thicker, and it can't be blown away. The weather turned around so quickly that it's hard not to wonder if there was some monster at work.
There was a melodious and treacherous sound of the sea, sometimes it seemed like it was thousands of miles away, sometimes it seemed like it was whispering in the ears.
The temperature of the air drops quickly. Originally, at sea, the temperature difference between day and night was not as large as on land. But now they are visibly feeling cooled. Sure enough, this is not an illusion - some parts of the sea surface have condensed a few ice floes. Although it was not large enough to pose a threat for the time being, the undulating ships were constantly colliding and rubbing against them, and the sound of breaking made one suspect that the ship itself was cracking.
All this gives a very helpless feeling. On this vast ocean, not to mention people, this whole ship is a drop in the ocean. Qi Huan was even wondering, could it be that those ships had already been shipwrecked before they reached the Nine Heavens Kingdom? If he hadn't known that there was an enchantment, he really suspected that the demonic energy on the sea was the culprit that devoured everything.
"Ahh
Ao Yan let out a brief exclamation, for the hull of the ship was once again jolting, more violently than any before. But it wasn't the last, the shaking intensified, and the waves rose high, sweeping away the broken ice floe and constantly lapping against the side of the boat. In the face of the huge waves, everyone seemed incomparably small, even with weapons in hand, powerless.
Haze and fog gathered, thunder and lightning flashed, and the wind surged. They were lucky enough not to be torn to pieces by the waves. But soon it began to pour down, and the rain quickly accumulated on the ship.
"Lao Bai - what to do, Lao Bai!" In the rain, Qi Huan hugged the mast and shouted.
"Wait for death!" Bai Ya replied with a roar, "Or live!" β
