The westernmost part of the continent is the Shoreless Sea, and the Eastern Qin Dynasty is not a country next to the Shoreless Sea, there are many small countries along the Shoreless Sea, and there are even many tribes that are not stated.

It is said that the shoreless sea is unknown, so no one wants to live and live close to the shoreless sea, and the Eastern Qin Dynasty has drawn the land circle farther, leaving a no-man's land between the Eastern Qin and the shoreless sea.

But it was only that there was no one at first, and after generations passed, there were still many tribes who chose to make a living in that area. Because there was no control of the big countries there, and because of their existence, the shoreless sea was no longer connected to the Eastern Qin, so the Eastern Qin did not require those small countries and tribes to submit, and gave them relative freedom.

However, those people still had a very difficult life, because although they guarded the sea, they did not dare to use it for a living. There is a thick fog on the shoreless sea all year round, and no amount of wind can blow away. People have also tried to let fishing boats go to sea, but unfortunately the fishing boats will not go far before they fall into the fog, not only can they not catch any fish, but many people will also fold into it.

Gradually, they gave up the idea of going out to sea to fish and switched to farming. Fortunately, the land can still grow crops, so people will not starve to death, and occasionally do some small business with Dongqin, so that they can multiply from generation to generation, and they have survived tenaciously.

The westernmost city in Eastern Qin and closest to the shoreless sea is called Shatu, which belongs to Qingzhou Prefecture. And between Satu and the shoreless sea, there is a small country called Lantang.

On this day, all the royal families of Tanglan Kingdom gathered on the shoreless sea, knelt down facing the shoreless sea, recited the unique prayer of Tanglan Kingdom, and begged the sea god with his most pious heart, begged the sea god to calm his anger, and begged the sea god to continue to protect the people of Tanglan.

Yes, they have always believed in the god of the sea, and every citizen of Tanglan has a statue of the god of the sea in their home. They believed that there were gods in the shoreless sea, and that the fog on the surface of the sea was an illusion cast by the gods. They are even more convinced that as long as they pass through that fog, they can reach the territory of the sea god, so that they can become mortal gods, live with heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.

Every New Year's Festival, the people of Tanglan will sacrifice to the god of the sea, and will take out the best food in their home and worship it in front of the statue of the god of the sea. Then burn incense and pray, praying for good weather in the future, being able to eat and clothe warmly, and the country and the people are safe.

In addition, when the Tanglan people encounter difficult things, or have an unbreakable knot in their hearts, or have a strong desire to be blessed with the help of the gods, they will also choose to worship the statue of the god of the sea. It's like people in Middle-earth burning incense and worshipping Buddha.

Therefore, when the shoreless sea gave birth to a mutation and the waves were fierce and surging, the Tanglan royal family decided to come to the seaside to worship the gods.

In addition to setting up the incense case, they also caught a person, a person who they considered to be slandering the gods and extremely disrespectful to the gods - the mad scholar, Meng Li.

It all originated from a miscellaneous book written by Meng Li, in which he wrote that he met an immortal on the shore of the shoreless sea, came out of thin air, and dissipated, leaving only the news about the queen surnamed Feng on the other side of the shoreless sea.

The Tang Lan people don't care about the queen surnamed Feng, let alone what Meng Li recorded in the miscellaneous records, how many shocking things about the queen surnamed Feng, all they care about is the statement "the other side of the shoreless sea".

Since the shoreless sea is called the shoreless sea, it is the shoreless, where does the shoreless come from?

Meng Li's statement obviously violated the taboo of the sea god, and he even wrote this statement into a miscellaneous book, which is a blatant provocation of the sea god's authority. So the sea god is angry, so the shoreless sea is not calm.

It's been a few months in a row, and the waves of the Shoreless Sea are becoming more and more fierce day by day, and now the waves are more than five feet high, even the Tanglan people who are most familiar with the Shoreless Sea have also felt the pressure, and the city territory is constantly retreating, and the power of the huge waves has made them lose two cities. Tang Lan is a small country, and there are only ten cities together, and if this continues, Tang Lan will be gone.

The place where they are kneeling now was originally not a beach, but a city in Tanglan Kingdom, but this city has become a dead city, and no one lives here anymore, everything has been emptied, and only empty houses remain.

And the reason why they can kneel here and face the shoreless sea is because the shoreless sea has completely swallowed the two cities in front of them, and the coastline has spread to the edge of this city, and the originally prosperous city has now become the seaside.

The Tanglan people tied Meng Li to a big tree, the roots of the big tree had been submerged in the seawater, Meng Li was tied to it, and half of his body was also immersed in the seawater, and when the huge waves came, the sea water would not reach his neck, and occasionally it would be poured into his mouth, making it difficult to breathe.

The Tanglan people kept reciting the scriptures of prayer, constantly praying that the sea god could stop his anger, and kept telling that they hoped that the sea god would swallow Meng Li and that all the sins would be borne by Meng Li alone.

Unfortunately, the sea god did not seem to hear their prayers at all, and the waves continued to rise day by day.

Meng Li's nerves were a little abnormal, and he kept shouting wildly: "There is no sea god at all, you stupid Tanglan people, you don't understand anything, there is no sea god at all, what are you praying for?" This is a sign of the coming of the great roar, this is a natural disaster, you don't go back to evacuate the people, you actually kneel here and recite the scriptures, are you stupid? ”

It's a pity that no one listens to him, and people still keep chanting the scriptures, which is the persistence of the Tanglan people and their belief.

Another mouthful of sea water entered Meng Li's mouth, but he kept shouting: "There are no gods in this world, and there are no gods in the sea." The fog of the shoreless sea is just a kind of sea array, as long as you can break through this sea array, you can go out to sea to fish, and you can obtain the resources of the sea through this sea area. Instead of chanting here, it is better to hide far away, as long as you avoid this natural disaster, you will go to find someone who can break through the sea array, so that your future generations can live better! ”

Some Tanglan people couldn't listen anymore and asked him loudly: "There are no gods?" Then why do you write in your miscellaneous notes that you saw a god? Why do you say that he came out of thin air and then dissipated? If it weren't for the gods, who could come and dissipate out of thin air? Or is that miscellaneous book of yours a fake at all? ”

"It's true, it's definitely true!" Meng Li immediately defended himself, but it was precisely because of this justification that he fell into self-contradiction, so that after saying this, Meng Li himself was confused.

Yes, if there is no god, then what kind of existence is the person I see? He really saw that person appear out of thin air, and he also watched that person dissipate into heaven and earth. He has always believed that what he sees is the immortals, but since he can see the immortals, why can't the Tanglan people see them too? Obviously, he believed that there were gods in this world, and he had seen it with his own eyes, so why did he deny the Tanglan people's belief in the sea god now?

Meng Li was completely confused, and at this time, Tang Lanren had a new speculation: "Crazy scholar, if what is written in your miscellaneous notes is true, if you have seen the immortals and are not lying, then is it possible that the one you saw is the sea god?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, Meng Li was also taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to say no, but how to prove that this was not?

Tang Lanren continued to analyze: "You said that the immortal knew about the things on the other side of the Shoreless Sea, and you also said that he told you many things that did not exist in this world at all. So how did he know? How did he know so clearly about the other side of the Shoreless Sea? Only if he is the god of the sea, he can know everything! Crazy scholar, what you see is the god of the sea! ”

Meng Li couldn't refute it, and even he began to follow the Tang Lan people's train of thought and began to speculate about the identity of that immortal.

Poseidon, this is indeed a direction! The probability that that immortal is the god of the sea is indeed very high.

Could it be that there are really gods in the shoreless sea?

"Then you won't let me go!" Meng Li suddenly shouted again, "I'm the one who has seen the sea god, and you still don't let me go!" ”

"Can't put it!" Gongsun An, the monarch of Tanglan Kingdom, said loudly: "The reason why the sea god is angry is because you have announced what he said to you to the world. The god of the sea just wanted to talk to someone, but I didn't expect you to write the secret of the god of the sea into a miscellaneous note, making it known to the world. So the sea god is angry, all of this is from you, from you, who can't keep secrets! We must offer you to the god of the sea, so that we can appease the wrath of the god of the sea, so that we can comfort the people of Tanglan who lost their lives in the wrath of the god of the sea. Crazy scholar, you damn it, no one can save you! ”

"That's right! Damn you, no one can save you! ”

The Tang Lan royal family shouted heartbreakingly, endless anger erupted from their eyes, and they couldn't burn Meng Li to death.

Meng Li was also a little panicked, the immersion of the sea water had already made him feel the breath of death, but he didn't want to die, he still wanted to see that immortal again, and he still imagined that one day he would be able to cross the shoreless sea and reach the continent on the other side.

He wanted to live the kind of life that the gods said, and he even wanted to meet the queen surnamed Feng.

He had too many unfulfilled wishes, how could he die like this?

"If you let me go, if you don't let me go, the sea god will be even more angry! Now that Tang Lan has lost two cities, don't you want to put the entire Tang Lan Kingdom into it? Meng Li shouted loudly, "Think about it, at first, the waves of the shoreless sea were just a little more fierce than before, but you couldn't hold your breath and went everywhere to arrest me." The result? You caught me, and you threw me in the sea, and you knelt down in the sea all day and night to chant the scriptures, but did the sea god's anger disappear? ”

Facing the trance of the Tanglan royal family, Meng Li's voice came again: "Instead of dissipating the anger, the waves are becoming more and more violent day by day. What does this mean? It shows that you are the culprit, and you have really offended the gods by arresting me! You are guilty! All of you Tanglan people are guilty! ”
