Chapter 228 - Gille Island
The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Lu Weng walked in with food, "Childe, we don't have too many supplies on the ship, so we can only let you settle for a while, and when you reach the deep sea, you can eat all kinds of seafood delicacies." ”
"Oh. "Chu Jing is not allergic to seafood, but he doesn't like it very much, his purpose this time is not to travel, but to find the right foot of the sealed.
The big ship sailed slowly on the sea, and the captain had no intention of doing anything, except for the skylight, blowing the sea breeze, and looking at the seabirds, Chu Jing had nothing to do.
Finally, on the fifth day of sailing, the captain revealed his hideous face.
Lu Weng rushed into Chu Jing's room with a group of sailors, and shouted loudly with his bright harpoon: "Boy, if you know each other, hand over all your belongings, I can spare you from death!"
"Lu Weng, what do you mean by this......" Chu Jing pretended to be incredulous.
"What do you mean, of course? Lu Weng laughed and said, "I heard that people on land know how to do kung fu, I have observed you for so long, but you are just an ordinary person who is powerless, and you dare to go to sea alone as weak as you, and today this matter is considered as your tuition." ”
Chu Jing also smiled, "Since you know that it is impossible for an ordinary person to go to sea alone, why can't you wait any longer and investigate more clearly." ”
As soon as Chu Jing's momentum was released, everyone only felt that a wind pressure was coming, and they couldn't resist it, and they collapsed to the ground one after another.
"Oh?" Chu Jing said in surprise as he looked at Lu Weng, who was still standing, "I didn't expect that people overseas also know martial arts." ”
A large amount of cold sweat broke out on Lu Weng's forehead at this time, he was already very cautious, he didn't expect Chu Jing to be this kind of character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, hidden so deeply, that even he, an old Jianghu, has not seen through it.
In fact, he can't be blamed, who would have thought that a young man would be a hidden master. At least Lu Weng had never seen someone of such age and strength.
Chu Jing smiled, restrained his momentum, and said: "I won't kill you, don't be too nervous, the sea belongs to you overseas people after all, and you still have to show me the way, so don't be nervous." ”
Seeing that Chu Jing didn't seem to care about him, Lu Weng didn't even stop the sailors behind him from running out, he quickly knelt down and said: "It's Lu Weng who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, don't be surprised by Gongzi, I will return all this money to Gongzi." ”
Lu Weng held the 1,100 taels of silver tickets in both hands, but Chu Jing didn't take it, and he didn't care about this little money.
"You deserve this, and if you can send me to the island of Gilles, I can give you more. ”
"Yes, the villain knows. Lu Weng knelt out, not daring to look at Chu Jing again.
This Lu Weng is a self-aware person, Chu Jing likes such people, they clearly know where their position is.
The small wave quickly calmed down at the beginning, and the sailors on the fishing boat only regarded him as a rich fat sheep before, but now they didn't even dare to look at Chu Jing, for fear that Chu Jing would be killed if he didn't like it.
These overseas people don't know much about the mainland, but the brutality of the warriors is very clear.
When any overseas person arrives in the Lishen Continent, the first thing they will be explained is not to offend any martial artist, not even to look at their swords and eyes.
Chu Jing didn't care about these sailors, they didn't look like the aesthetics of people on the mainland.
Lu Weng didn't know where to hide these days, he was no less afraid of Chu Jing than any sailor, after all, he wanted to kill Chu Jing.
If this was not an endless sea, Lu Weng would definitely be killed by Chu Jing.
He didn't know that since Chu Jing came to the Leaving God Continent, he had only killed the Heavenly God Ye Qingsong in total, and not killing was his bottom line, the bottom line of conscience.
However, Chu Jing is not averse to killing, he has a lot of low-level cards, if he really wants someone to die, just summon a character to come out and take the knife for Chu Jing.
The sea is calm, at least after so many days at sea, the wind is beautiful, even in winter, the sea breeze is warm.
Chu Jing simply took a fishing rod and caught fish on the deck.
The deck had been cleaned by sailors these days, leaving only the salty smell of the seawater, but the fishy smell was gone.
Because Lu Weng was hiding in the room and no one was in charge, they did not continue fishing, and this trip to trade with Tiannan Mansion had already made Lu Weng and the sailors harvest a lot, and at this time, they caught the fish and took it to Jile Island, but it was not worth a few dollars.
The flour and cereals in the cabin are the bestsellers of the island.
Although the fishing boat is moving, the fish in the sea are very easy to catch, and there are always some schools of fish following behind the fishing boat, some of them are attracted by the sound of the fishing boat, and some of them like human household garbage.
In some large turbine ships, there are many fish that are accidentally killed by the turbine, which will attract many big fish to have a full meal.
The hook of the chujing fish was hung with high-grade scallop meat, which was told by the sailors that this bait was the easiest to attract the best fish.
It's a pity that Chu Jing doesn't seem to have a talent for fishing, maybe the speed of the boat is too fast, Chu Jing fished all morning, and there were only two small fish the size of a palm.
It's certainly not enough for a meal.
With Chu Jing's strength, it couldn't have been easier to catch a few fish in the sea, but he didn't do it, he just wanted to kill time.
The food on the ship was not bad, looking at Lu Weng's size, the chef on the ship must have been carefully selected by him, and Chu Jing did not need to improve the food by himself.
The sailors did not do anything in the meal, perhaps because they were intimidated by Chu Jing's momentum, and they were worried that they and the others would be killed before Chu Jing was poisoned.
"Go back, the storm is coming!"
Suddenly, Lu Weng didn't know when he stood on the deck, shouted loudly to the sailors, and said respectfully to Chu Jing: "Childe, the storm is coming soon, you should rest in the cabin." ”
"Storm?"
Chu Jing remembered the terrible storm he saw in the movie, accompanied by heavy rain came strong winds and huge waves, the rain was not terrible, the terrible waves.
A wave more than ten meters high can smash a large ship made of steel in an instant.
"How did you know the storm was coming?" Chu Jing asked.
"The wind, the feeling. Lu Weng replied.
It is worthy of the old captain who has lived at sea for decades that he has such an amazing judgment ability.
After a while, a black cloud drifted in the distance, it was not even a cloud, and half of the sky was infected with black.
Chu Jing was in the cabin, looking at the black sky through the skylight.
Then it's a storm.
The storm came quickly, the rain seemed to be directly splashed down with a huge basin, directly connected into one, the wind was howling, the fishing boat was up and down in the huge waves, and the books in Chu Jing's cabin were scattered all over the ground, and even Chu Jing felt a little dizzy from shaking.
He floated slightly, and only then did he feel better.
Ling Xujing can even avoid seasickness, the advantage is that there are too many. It is true that the power of nature surpasses that of humans in some ways, and even the gods would not have survived a violent storm without shelter.
Chu Jing somewhat understood the reason why the powerhouses on the continent didn't like the sea.
On land, they can control everything, and landslides and earth cracks are no longer a problem, but when it comes to the sea, they can only go with the flow, and the strength of human beings is completely insufficient to compete with the boundless sea.
The storm lasted all day and night, and did not clear until the next day, and there was not the slightest sign of the storm except for the rain that had accumulated on the deck.
Luon was also on deck, discussing the broken sail with the sailors.
"Thankfully we were able to survive this storm, but the sails were broken and could be repaired tomorrow. "Lu Weng came over to report to Chu Jing about the situation of the fishing boat.
Chu Jing was very happy about Lu Weng's transformation, he didn't want this experienced captain to hide in the cabin all the time, he still needed to ask a lot of knowledge.
"This storm is quite big, have you experienced it often before?"
Lu Weng shook his head fiercely, "The reason why I encountered a storm this time is purely a coincidence, I have traveled all my life, and the storm I have experienced is only a single digit. ”
He was only in his fifties, and he began to board ships in his teens, and went to sea twice a year, only about sixty times.
It seems that storms are not used all the time, especially when experienced sailors can avoid stormy times and turn around before they arrive.
"Tell me about the island of Gilde. ”
Lu Weng thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, there is nothing to introduce, although Jile Island is far away from the mainland, the residents on the island have also moved to Jile Island from the mainland, and their living habits are similar, but they eat more fish on weekdays, just like those people who live by the sea." ”
Chu Jing nodded, it was too close to the Divine Continent, it was difficult to appreciate the exotic customs, those alien Chu Jing were quite curious, but it was a pity that they had completely disappeared into the long river of history.
"So, what other islands have you been to besides Gille?"
Lu Weng said: "I don't go to many islands, every fishing boat basically has a fixed route, and the customers who have won it with great difficulty must be maintained, and they can't just change the course." ”
"Then how did you get back to the mainland? I mean, why did you have almost no trade with Tiannan Mansion before, and suddenly it happened?"
Lu Weng replied: "Actually, this is all thanks to an adventurer named Ma Jun, who lived on the hidden islands, and since he was a child, he liked to sail long distances, once he rescued a fisherman from Tiannan Province in the waters near Tiannan Province, and then followed the fisherman's guidance to discover the route from overseas islands to the mainland. ”
"I see. ”
Was this just an accident? The people who had left the mainland reached the islands overseas and settled down for a long time.
As a result, they forgot their way back, and it is only today that someone is lucky enough to find this channel, what a coincidence.
Chu Jing suddenly thought of a question, "Why haven't you seen the demon beasts in the sea?"
Along the way, the only danger was a storm, but none of the legendary sea monsters were seen.
Lu Weng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, muttering a prayer in his mouth: "Lord Seagod forgives, Lord Seagod forgives sins, we have no disrespect at all, please go around us ......"
It seems that the monster beast in the sea is a taboo subject.
After praying for a while, Lu Weng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and whispered to Chu Jing: "Childe can't talk nonsense at sea, the storm is okay, we still have a good chance of survival, but the demon beast is ......"
He attached himself to Chu Jing's ear and said, "The demon beasts in the sea are all very large in size, as long as the fishing boat is attacked by them, basically no one will be able to survive safely." ”
"Why?" Chu Jing was puzzled, the demon beasts on the land were cleared and suppressed, and ordinary people might be afraid, but they were not afraid enough to ask the Divine Mansion for protection.
And what kind of god is the sea god, there is not only one god in the world who created the world, after the god died, he left an angel, and the angel was killed by the ultimate king and others.
After drinking the water of eternity, a group of gods were born, which is almost common knowledge that children on the continent know, and Chu Jing also killed a god who had lived for five thousand years with his own hands.
Lu Weng said with great fear: "The demon beasts in the sea will attack the fishing boat first, in this vast sea, without the fishing boat, even if you can float on the sea, you can't distinguish the direction, and there is no food supply, it is almost a mortal situation." ”
Chu Jing understood, because the demon beasts in the sea were all big men, and the powerful Wu might be able to kill them, but the ship was destroyed, and the tools on the ship to measure the direction and route were gone, and they became blind on the endless sea, and they didn't even know where to go.
You must know that Jile Island and Tien Nam Province can travel for half a month, what a long distance, and if you are a little off, you may miss Jile Island and get completely lost in the sea.
Even the gods were reluctant to set foot overseas, not because they were afraid of the monsters in the sea, but because they were afraid that they would lose their way without a ship.
However, listening to what Lu Weng said, there are not many interesting things overseas.
In addition to chasing the pace of the ultimate king, Chu Jing really couldn't think of what the point of going overseas was.
There were no demon beasts attacking, although Chu Jing's journey was a little flawed, but Chu Jing was also worried that he would be lost in the vast sea, so it was better not to have demon beasts.
After a long journey of fifteen days, Chu Jing finally saw an island.
"Is there only one island on this route?" Chu Jing only saw the sea, the sun, the moon, stars, seabirds, and sea fish on the way, and nothing else.
"Yes, Jile Island is the closest island to the mainland on this route, and further south, it will pass through Chongdao, Hades Island and other islands. Lu Weng instructed the sailors to collect the sails while explaining to Chu Jing.
There are large and small islands less than 100 kilometers south of Tien Nam Province, but the inhabitants of those places are not overseas people at all, and only those who live thousands of nautical miles away are considered overseas places.
The fishing boats gradually approached the island of Jile, which was much larger than Chu Jing had seen from a distance, and the extremely long coastline, which stretched for an unknown number of miles, and a huge harbor was located on the coastline, in which five large fishing boats of the type of Lu Weng were moored.
Lu Weng smiled: "Now our trade with Tiannan Province has made us a lot of wealth, and more and more fishermen have joined in, which is why we have today's Jile Island." ”
It can be seen that Lu Weng is really happy about the development of Jile Island.
He added: "Childe doesn't have to worry that the people on the island will not welcome outsiders, there have been some mainland merchants who have landed on Jile Island before this. ”
Chu Jing nodded, waiting for the fishing boat to come to shore.
Although he knew that the right foot of the sealed person was not on this island, Chu Jing couldn't wait to see this overseas island.
