Chapter 138 Landing

He was right, and he was well planned.

But Chu Yue really didn't have a good impression of Zebei, and she didn't feel that she was a good person, so she just raised her eyes and looked at Xie Siyun.

But looking at Xie Siyun, he was also looking at her, as if he wanted to make a decision for her. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Chu Yue's heart had some strange feelings inexplicably.

Seem...... It's love, right?

Seeing that none of them immediately agreed, Uncle Ze continued to speak with some trepidation: "Don't worry, if she does anything that makes you unhappy along the way, whether you just leave her or even give her a small boat to let her come back by herself, I will never say a word." We...... It's wrong. ”

He sighed, and the gray hair on his sideburns was particularly conspicuous: but only a few days had passed, and he seemed to be more than ten years old, and in the end Chu Yue looked at it and couldn't bear it: "Then tell her to pack her things, if she can't catch up, you can't blame us for not taking her." ”

Uncle Ze was stunned, and then hurriedly responded to the first moon, and it didn't take long for Zebei to come over with a package on his back.

Zebei changed his lively appearance in the past, and just stood silently behind Uncle Ze, and after being pushed by Uncle Ze, he saluted Chu Yue and Xie Siyun in a proper manner.

Hatsuki knew that if they got along as before, they would definitely not be able to do it. She ordered the sturgeon, who was about her age, to take her, and the sturgeon had a good personality, which must make Zebe more comfortable with her.

The people of Spirit Tomb Island don't seem to like the feeling of life and death.

So even if more than 100 people are about to leave, few people come to see them off. Yuanhu and Peach Whale also said a long time ago that they would not come to see them off, which made the distant sturgeon's eyes always red when they parted.

But for the better future of Spirit Tomb Island, among the more than 100 people, none of them hesitated.

After Xie Siyun and Chu Yue finally confirmed the number of people, the status of the ship and the materials on board, they gave an order-

They're finally going back!

Chu Yue didn't dare to think about what the Xie family was like now: there would definitely be no place for them anymore, and I didn't even know what they were like to the Xie Shen family.

Therefore, Xie Siyun and Chu Yue had already discussed: after they went back, they would not go back to Xie's house first, but would find a way to take Xie Shen's family out. The best way is to go to Jing Lixin first, and use Jing Lixin's identity as a "mysterious businessman" to make a comeback, which is much better than being put on the board by the Xie family as a fish as soon as he goes back.

From the Tomb Island, they prayed for a clear weather.

Fortunately, the sea also seemed to have noticed the difficulty of Chu Yue and Xie Siyun, and it was really smooth all the way.

Those who had never been out of Spirit Tomb Island since they were born had never thought that the outside world was so big. Seeing that Zebei's mood was much better, Chu Yue also felt more and more open.

Eventually, as Yuanhu had said, their ship landed under the cliffs of a village in Yunwu—

Except for Chu Yue, Xie Siyun and Xie An, no one else has ever seen the outside world.

They are numerous, but the village, which was a small village when it came from afar ten years ago, is now abandoned, and their landing here is not remarkable.

The most important thing left was: how could they transport the goods on their ship to the Great Yue Dynasty through Yunwu?

After deliberation, a plan was decided: they could temporarily settle down in this abandoned village, where they could change their tomb island-style ships and outfits. Xie Siyun and Chu Yue both have businessmen and humanities on their bodies, they are not close to the political center of Yunwu, they only cross half of Yunwu along the coastline of Yunwu, and then sail from the dock that connects with the Dayue Dynasty, and they can reach the South China Sea of the Dayue Dynasty.

When they arrived in Nanzhou, Xie Siyun and Chu Yue would be considered acquaintances, and when the time came, whether it was the people or goods they brought back, they would be properly settled.

However, plans are always not changing quickly.

When they had just put the village in order, the army of Yunwu had already surrounded the village—

Hatsuki thought she was asking where they were coming from.

But I didn't expect those people to directly target the first moon!

After Chu Yue and Xie Siyun were detained, she saw an arrest warrant. The arrest warrant was looking for a woman, saying that she had stolen an important belongings from the High Priest of Yunwu, so she fled in hiding.

This is not an uncommon thing, the most unusual thing is that there is a portrait of a woman on this arrest warrant, and her appearance is exactly the same as the first moon!

This made Chu Yue have to think that Qi Duo had told her and Xie Siyun that the reason why they would exchange souls was probably related to Chu Yue's life experience and the country of cloud witches.

If the arrest warrant is genuine, Chu Yue can almost conclude that the woman on the arrest warrant, who looks exactly like her and is called "Sha Niang", must be related to her mother or father.

Even...... It could be her real mother!

So he was going to be taken to the high priest after all, and Hatsuki simply didn't struggle. He only flattered those officers and soldiers so that they should not be embarrassed by the people brought from the Spirit Tomb Island, but those officers and soldiers also seemed to be on a secret mission, and they did not make any noise, nor did they touch a single thing, but just escorted all of them to the priest's hall of Yunwu.

Although the country of Yunwu is large, a large part of it is desert and seawater, so in fact, the inhabited communities are only concentrated in the northeastern corner of this peninsula connected to the mainland.

In just two days' journey, they arrived at Yunwu's political and governance cultural center: Cloud God City.

This was the first time that Chu Yue was able to get a glimpse of the face of this mysterious country, and she found that the closer people were to Cloud God City, the more they loved white, and the more solemn and pious they became.

With Cloud God City as the center, the class hierarchy is particularly obvious in the Cloud Witch Country in the form of ring outfits.

They went ashore in the outskirts, and most of the people in that area did the lowest jobs: carrying dung, raising pigs, etc., and there were no cities, and the villages felt an indescribable stench lingering in the air. There is no hope in the eyes of the lowest, and no one uses white, whether it is because it is not resistant to dirt or because they are not qualified.

And then there's the work that is a little bit more like theirs: washing, carding, and so on. People here can finally walk with their backs straight, and they can also use some white in their lives: white walls, white stone steps.

After this level, they can be considered more high-status people: their work is mainly business, they can wear white clothes, and they can already look up to the temple of the Cloud Witch Priests in the final center.

And the closest place to the Yunwu Hall is where the most honorable priests and ministers of the Yunwu Kingdom live. They didn't need to do anything else, they could kneel and worship the Yunwu Hall in all white. They have the supreme power of life and death, but they only use the name of "gods" to control people.

It seems that everyone has their own role, but it is just an absurd hierarchy.

Their team stopped at that pure white place, and Chu Yue and Xie Siyun were taken all the way into the sacrificial hall.

At the door of the priest's hall, they were asked to bathe and change their clothes.

Then they walked all the way on the white jade paved paths and stairs, barefoot to show their loyalty to the "gods".

And he entered the temple of the high priest without any problems—

They said that they were "invited" in, but in fact they were escorted in like prisoners.

In the temple of the high priest stood a man dressed in pure white with his back to them.

Judging from the back, the man was about forty years old, and his long hair was tied up high with a white ribbon.

Chu Yue heard those guards call him "High Priest", and she also had a little curiosity about this person who was the supreme ruler of Yunwu.

The high priest stood with his hands in his hands, and even after Chu Yue and Xie Siyun entered the temple, he didn't turn around, but just asked, "Did you catch Sha Niang?" ”

"Yes!"

The first guard was the one who had been guarding them along the way, and he clenched his fists at the high priest, and his tone was extremely respectful: "Found in the abandoned Xiaofang village in the south, some villagers who stayed behind saw them bring a large number of sea sharks ashore, and their subordinates went to capture them, although she did not admit her identity, but her appearance was really the same as in the portrait!" ”

"Oh......"

The high priest's tone seemed to be a little lost: "Those are all portraits from more than ten years ago, how can they be exactly the same?" You're afraid you're looking at the wrong person, right? ”

No matter what he said, Chu Yue was curious: why did the people of Yunwu actually call the people of Spirit Tomb Island the sea sharks? It seems that the fact of the existence of Spirit Tomb Island has probably been exposed a long time ago.

The high priest turned his head, but the moment he saw the first moon, he was stunned: "Really...... Same? ”

Chu Yue also saw the appearance of the high priest clearly: he was indeed in his forties, but he had a clean face and starry eyes. If it were a modern one, he would definitely be the type of "charming uncle" sought after by little girls.

But now in Chu Yue's eyes, I don't know whether it was deliberate or unintentional, I actually felt that his appearance was ...... It's a bit similar to myself.

Seeing that he was stunned on the spot, the head of the guard also took a step back: "The subordinates go down first, if the priest has something, he will call his subordinates at the door." ”

His footsteps slowly disappeared, and the high priest's eyes had a complicated expression, and he stepped forward and stared at Chu Yue carefully: "Sha Niang...... Is that you? ”

Chu Yue couldn't hear what the complicated emotions were in his tone, but she took a step back and rejected him thousands of miles away: "I'm not Sha Niang." My name is Hatsuki, not the person in the portrait. ”

Chu Yue's cold tone was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the high priest's enthusiasm.

He also took a step back and frowned slightly: "Chuyue? You and Sha Niang are ...... What relationship? ”
