Chapter 457: Out to Sea

It has been on the car for eleven days, especially the shock absorption of the carriage in this Divine Continent is not very good, even the body of the monk of Tianyou is a little unbearable. But at last we got to the beach, and although we had to rock on the boat for another half a month, for those who don't get seasick, a spacious cabin is better than a cramped carriage.

Smelling the salty smell in the air, Tianyou suddenly remembered his yacht. The small yacht from LΓΌrssen is one of his rites of passage, and it is completely customized according to God's own ideas, and it is the only one in the world. In terms of luxury, this boat can only be considered average among yachts, but when it comes to speed and seaworthiness, it is properly the first in the world. Small-section hull design, lower pontoon with water skid function. When cruising at low speeds, it is as stable as Mount Tai, and the wind and waves below level 6 do not feel any shaking. But when you turn on all three jets, it transforms into a furious sea spirit, giving you a taste of what it means to dance on the crest of the waves.

Unfortunately, God blesses the little yacht that he will never see him.

"Childe, you can get out of the car. Ah Xiang's voice interrupted Tianyou's thoughts. Putting away the drawings in his hand, Tianyou got up and got out of the carriage.

Stretching his waist, he moved his stiff limbs that were holding in the cramped carriage, and Tianyou looked around.

You can't see the sea here, but the salty smell in the air indicates that you are already close to the shoreline. Even in the sensitive hearing of God You, a faint trace of the sound of the waves can be heard. However, the direction of the sound was blocked by many buildings, and in the distance there was a small mountain peak, which just covered the coastline.

"God, you're coming to the beach for the first time, right?

In the past few days, Tianyou and Mi Tianque have to meet every day, and the two are completely acquainted.

Just like Tianyou's previous judgment, Mi Tianque is a very wise person, and he is not arrogant, but has a hint of cynicism. It's not too rude, and it's not so rigid and dull. It can be said that this kind of personality is very attractive to people other than old pedants, especially a time-traveler from the earth like Tianyou. After all, compared with the natives of the Shenzhou Continent, Mi Tianque is more like a modern person's personality, and it is obviously easier for Tianyou to have a good impression.

In fact, Mi Tianque not only has a good personality, but also knows how to measure proportions. Although he is seen every day these days, he behaves very ordinary. That's right, it's ordinary. Neither deliberately flattering, nor distancing, but just letting them go from strangers to acquaintances.

Because the relationship has become much closer, the relationship between Tianyou and Mi Tianque is no longer so different. Seeing Tianyou look around, Mi Tianque keenly guessed that Tianyou was looking for traces of the sea. However, he miscalculated one thing, and that was that Tianyou had not only seen the sea, but also knew the ocean better than he did. Of course, Tianyou does not understand the sea of the Shenzhou Continent. After all, there are no island-like monsters in the oceans of the earth.

Shaking his head, he rejected Mi Tianque's kindness. "I'm just curious why I didn't listen directly to the seaside. You can't hear the tides here, so it's probably a short distance from the shore. ”

Mi Tianque explained with a smile: "This sea breeze is not as strong as on land. There is no worry about a mountain blocking here, and on the seaside, sometimes the wind is strong and even the trees can be blown off, so most of the fishermen and merchants in the vicinity gather here to form this county, and the real port is still behind the mountain in front. ”

"Is that Jiashan?" asked Tianyou, looking at the hill in the distance. This mountain is not big, but it is very famous, it is said that there is a statue of a goddess on the top of the mountain, but it is very strange that this statue does not know who is carved, people nearby call her the sea god Niangniang, but in fact, no monk has really heard of this great god.

Of course, Mi Tianque also knew about the statue, and immediately guessed what Tianyou wanted to ask about the statue.

"You don't want to go to the top of the mountain with me, or I'll take you to see it. That's right, the statue of the sea god Niangniang is said to be on the mountain. If it weren't for the fact that the fog wasn't too heavy at the present hour, it would have been directly visible. ”

Tianyou nodded noncommittally, turned around and jumped off the wheel. "Are we boarding the ship tomorrow?" Because it was almost dusk at this time, it must be because it was too late, so he temporarily rested in this county seat for the night, and he would go to sea tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Mi Tianque's answer was unexpected.

"Tomorrow, God bless, you're too anxious, aren't you?" Mi Tianque said with a smile: "You and I can leave at any time with our empty hands, but it takes time for the goods to be loaded onto the ship." Recently, the wind and waves at sea will gradually become bigger, they are all long-distance runners, know the rules, it is estimated that they will load the ship day and night, and they will probably be able to go to sea in the afternoon of the next day. If they were to be loaded without hurry at another time, it would take at least five days to do it. ”

In fact, there is no need for Mi Tianque to explain, Tianyou reacted by himself after he finished speaking. This is not the earth, there are no cranes and containers. All the goods had to be loaded and unloaded by manpower, using two wooden gangplanks and two improvised winches. Such conditions are not available to every ship. It is said that there are only five berths with winches on the port side, and about two dozen raised trestles can be used to carry supplies directly to the ship's deck with gangplanks. As for the rest of the ships that are not in position...... I'm sorry, but find a place to build a 40-degree slope with a plank, and then push it down and drag it to the boat.

Because of the poor loading and unloading conditions, basically relying on manpower assistance, the goods do not dare to be loaded into large packages, and can only be carried up in small pieces, which is naturally not fast. It is said that they can leave at noon the day after tomorrow, which is the result of the maritime merchants increasing the money and letting the workers work overtime day and night. In another time period, the speed can be imagined.

Because the jade embryo in his hand has reached the completion stage, Tianyou has hardly been out of the house since he lived in Humen County. Although I was tired enough, I finally completed the trial-type Lingquan core. Of course, this simplified version of the Spirit Spring Core is actually more like a relatively high-power Spirit Gathering Array. This effect was deliberately done by Tianyou, the purpose was of course to worry that someone would know that he could be the core of the spiritual spring and cause trouble for himself, so Tianyou deliberately controlled the effect of this thing, weakening and weakening it. So much so that now this piece of jade feels more like a spirit gathering array carved inside. If there is any difference, it is that the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array is slightly stronger.

Of course, the artificial spirit spring is a spirit spring after all, and it is not at all the same order of magnitude as the spirit gathering array.

Spirit Gathering Array, as the name suggests, is a formation that gathers the surrounding aura, and the effect changes with the strength of the surrounding aura. In an area where there was no aura at all, it was naturally impossible for the Spirit Gathering Array to conjure aura. On the contrary, the artificial spiritual spring is an infinite source of spiritual energy that can use the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint to self-circulate, even in the spiritual energy desert, as long as there is not something around to suppress the spiritual energy, the artificial spiritual spring can produce an endless stream of spiritual energy. For this alone, this artificial spirit spring is not much stronger than the Spirit Gathering Array.

It can be said that the Spirit Gathering Array is like a solar cell, and only with light can it generate electricity. The artificial spiritual spring is more like a nuclear power plant, which is filled once and generates electricity for a long time, and is completely unaffected by external conditions.

"Wouldn't it be bad to give away this kind of thing?" Holding this jade pendant that had been made into an artificial spirit spring, Tianyou asked with some concern.

In Celestial Blessing's mind, Moon Shadow's voice replied, "You can't say it's foolproof, but you don't have to worry too much about it. There are many mistakes in the structure of your artificial spirit spring, and you have deliberately leaked some of the power of the five elements, even if someone really finds out that there is something strange in it, they will only think that you have some research on the artificial spirit spring, and will not directly believe that you can make an artificial spirit spring. Besides, that Mrs. Ni is just an ordinary person, but her status is extremely noble, and ordinary people dare not touch her things. ”

Tianyou thinks about it, anyway, this is just a defective product, and it was deliberately downgraded, but I don't worry about being found out.

Putting away the jade pendant, Tianyou was about to turn around and ask when he could leave, when there was a knock on the door. Before Tianyou could open the door, the door was pushed open.

Hu Qingxuan walked in from the outside, glanced at Tianyou and said, "They are ready to go." ”

Tianyou nodded, "Then let's pack up and get ready to go." ”

Outside the inn, King Yizhou's convoy was already waiting on the side of the road. Tianyou and Mi Fusheng saluted, and then everyone got into the car and went all the way to the beach.

Skirting the Jiashan Mountains that block the coastline, the first thing that catches your eye is a silvery sand beach. The gentle, smooth white sand stretches from one end of the line of sight to the other, joining together like a winding Milky Way, separating the black sea rocks at the edge of the continent from the blue sea in the distance.

If it were on earth, it would definitely be a tourist destination. All it takes is a few beach chairs and a few photos to post on social media, and in less than a month, tourists from all over the world will be flocking to fill the place.

However, in this Divine Continent...... Not to mention tourists, even people are rare.

From here, you can see that deep in the golden sand, there is an area of distinct color. It was a busy harbor of black rock and wood, and a winding stone path connected to the road beneath their feet.

Tianyou made a brief observation from a distance, although this port was not as good as those ocean-going ports on the earth, it was also one of the best in this Divine Continent.

The huge pier made of pure stone, with a long wooden trestle that stretches from the golden sand into the sea hundreds of meters away, and in the distance you can see a half-moon-shaped breakwater, hundreds of sailing ships lined up neatly in the breakwater to anchor.

Tianyou has good eyesight, and he can see that there is a large fleet of ships that have been lined up not far outside the breakwater, and it seems that they should be waiting for them to converge.

Before the team of the king of Yizhou arrived at the dock, soldiers had already begun to clear the site first, the workers in charge of loading and unloading were isolated to a corner of the port, and the ships on both sides of the trestle were also emptied, leaving only two huge ships that were obviously different from ordinary ships. They were two super-large sail warships that were several laps larger than the surrounding merchant ships. The walls are usually tall, and there are female walls at the top of the walls to block arrows and battlements for shooting, and there are many flap windows on the sides of the ship. I'm not sure, but I think it should be a firing port or something.

"How? This Gold Coast deserves its name, right?" When Tianyou was observing the port, Mi Tianque came to their car on a horse at some point, and asked proudly as he looked at Tianyou, who was still looking into the distance.

Tianyou looked down at Qi Tianque and said approvingly: "I heard that the Gold Coast is beautiful, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." It's just that the Gold Coast is called gold, but why is the sand all white?"

After listening to Tianyou's words, Mi Tianque laughed and said, "You don't know anything about this virtuous brother. The Gold Coast is actually full of white sand, but the sand is crystal clear, and when the sun and the moon alternate, the beach will be printed golden by the sun. At that time, the scenery was truly beautiful. There are many literati who like to travel in the mountains and rivers to see it, and when they go back, they give it the name of the Gold Coast, and over time everyone also acquiesces to this name. ”

Tianyou nodded and said, "I see." It's a pity that we came late, I'm afraid we won't be able to see such a beautiful view!"

"The fleet is already waiting for us, and I'm afraid it won't work today. But God forbid you to pass through this place on your return journey, and it will be the same when you see it then. ”

Tianyou nodded and didn't say anything more, and the carriage had already entered the harbor at this time.

The port here is made entirely of rocks, and the surface seems to have been polished and smoothed to the same level as the cement floor. In addition, there is a specially raised stone road from the port to the shore, so you don't have to worry about the high tide or the wheels getting stuck in the sand.

Arrived at the port smoothly, and everyone got off the bus one after another. Mi Fusheng specially called Tianyou to talk to him about the arrangement. It turned out that he and Tianyou were not in the same boat, but separately. However, the ship is of the same size as the other one, and at least it doesn't look noticeably different from the other.

With all the people on board, the boatmen on the dock were also released. They held long wooden poles, pressed against the side of the ship, and then shouted the trumpet together, and the legs of the ship were removed from the near trestle, and after that, the bottom row of portholes on the side of the warship suddenly opened, and the rows of wooden oars were neatly unfolded into the water and began to slide forward, pushing the hull to slowly retreat further away from the port.

The battleship that Tianyou was assigned to was lined up relatively far behind, so he followed behind the ship of Mi Tianque and Mi Fusheng. Without entering the cabin, he could clearly see that the ship in front of him had left the dock a certain distance and had unfurled two rows of long oars. Three rows of oars drove the ship out of the harbor and out of the gap in the breakwater, and it was only then that the sailors on the deck began to shout and raise the sails.

Soon, the battleship in front passed through the breakwater, and it was the turn of God to bless their ship to leave the port, and the sailors here began to be busy sailing. Tianyou watched the sailors busy on the deck with interest, while Qi Xiaomei and Hu Qingxuan stood behind him on the left and right, like two guards. But the tiger girl, who was jumping around the whole deck, and running up the building to see what the helmsman and captain were doing, was like a child with ADHD. But thinking about Tiger Girl's previous life, this is a reasonable thing.

The wind was good today, and the speed of the warship, which was only half sailed, still jumped up a notch. Tianyou saw that the long oars on both sides of the hull in front of him were retracted, and he thought that he should do the same on his side.

Originally, Tianyou thought that only these ships outside the breakwater were with them, after all, he probably knew the number of convoys when he came, even if the carriages were loaded together, these ships outside would definitely be enough. However, the actual situation is slightly different from what Tianyou thought.

After they got out of the breakwater, the merchant ships in the back harbor also pulled anchor and left the harbor one after another, following them to join the outside fleet. In the blink of an eye, it had gathered into a huge fleet of hundreds of large and small ships, and there were more than a dozen warships mixed in it.

Ships at sea are different from those on land, and they must maintain sufficient distance from each other, especially because these sailboats have very poor steering and maneuverability, and they need to leave enough space. So the convoy of hundreds of ships spread out on the sea, and it looked like a thousand troops. I can't see the beginning and the end in front of me, but I feel that there are sail shadows everywhere in front of me.

"Wow...... It's spectacular...... "The tiger girl, who has finally inspected the boat inside and out, is finally quieter. After reading it on the ship, the surrounding scenery attracted her attention. This would be an imposition to marvel at the sheer size of the fleet.

However, the tiger girl's state of excitement lasted less than an hour before it ended. Not because there was nothing around that caught her attention, but because ...... This girl is actually seasick.

"Is it better?" patting the tiger girl on the back, Tianyou took the porcelain bowl containing the decoction from Hu Qingxuan's hand. "It's a big monster, it's actually seasick! You see that Qingxuan is also going to sea on a boat for the first time, isn't it okay? Come, hurry up and drink this, specialize in seasickness, just drink it." ”

"I ...... "The tiger girl was interrupted by a violent vomiting as soon as she wanted to speak, but unfortunately she didn't vomit anything after retching for a long time....... Stretched out his hand to block the decoction handed over by Tianyou, frowned and refused: "No...... No more...... When I smelled this, I wanted to vomit even more...... "This time I really sprayed a big mouthful of water, but fortunately, they were prepared and put a wooden barrel underneath."

Seeing that she was so disgusting, Tianyou also looked at Hu Qingxuan helplessly and asked, "She has to vomit out the decoction after drinking it like this, is there any other way?"

Hu Qingxuan thought for a while and said, "There is no way to do this, the first time I took a boat, this is like this." But it's okay if you don't drink this medicine. The tiger girl is a demon body, and she can get used to it. After drinking this medicine, it will be almost half an hour, and if you don't drink it, you should recover at most in the evening. ”

"What? I'm going to vomit until late...... Until night?" I heard that it would take so long, and the tiger girl was also afraid. looked at the decoction in Tianyou's hand, thought about it, took it and poured it down, and then immediately twisted out the word "king" on his brows, "Vomit ......"

Seeing that she was about to vomit again, Hu Qingxuan suddenly reached out and covered her mouth. "Hold back, don't spit it out. It's good to hold it back. ”

Although the tiger girl was uncomfortable, she also knew that long pain was better than short pain, so she forcibly swallowed back half a bowl of medicine that came up in her mouth.

"It's so uncomfortable, ...... in my stomach" Hu Niu was obviously quite uncomfortable after swallowing the medicine, but just after complaining twice, Hu Qingxuan suddenly leaned over and blew a pink breath on her face. Halfway through her words, Hu Niu fell straight down with a soft body.

Tianyou knew that it was Hu Qingxuan who fascinated her, and just took this opportunity to make the medicine in her body work, and when she woke up, she should be able to adapt to the conditions at sea.

Speaking of which, although monsters are demons, they are still inseparable from the essence of animals. This tiger belongs to the feline family, and none of these felines like water. Seasickness is a normal thing.

I slept until the afternoon when the tiger girl woke up leisurely, I don't know if the medicine worked or the big demon's physique was good, in short, this girl has completely recovered her previous vitality. Before, Tianyou didn't understand what it meant to be alive and alive, but now he understands. The tiger that came to life was simply more energetic than Erha, and he didn't play in the bow and stern, and he tossed until the evening before it was a little quieter.

In the meantime, the captain of the ship has come to meet with Tianyou. This person didn't know Tianyou's identity, only knew that this was a guest of King Yizhou, so he spoke very politely.

The other party briefly told Tianyou some precautions at sea, and also told him about the itinerary these days.

According to the captain, the sea conditions are very good today and the wind direction is suitable, so it is expected to reach the destination ahead of schedule. Of course, the so-called advance is only one or two days less, in fact, it is still necessary to sail at sea for more than ten days. Of course, this is not the limit speed of this ship, the main reason is that the merchant ships in the fleet are too slow, which slows down the speed of the fleet, otherwise at the speed of this ship, it can actually dock on Yizhou Island in four or five days at most.

According to the plan, they will not sail directly to Yizhou Island this time, but will go a little further south, first send the merchant fleet to the vicinity of Hong Kong Island, and then turn due east to sail towards Yizhou Island.

This Hong Kong Island is a large island close to Yizhou Island, the area is quite large, and there are more than a dozen natural harbors on the shore. In addition, the island is rich in seafood and many precious resources, and over time it has developed into an extremely important maritime trading point. Ships from the south to the north will transfer their goods here, and even most of the goods from Yizhou Island are first sent to Hong Kong Island by small boats, and then transported to the inland by large ships.

The reason why Mi Fusheng's fleet was so slow was because it also carried many merchant ships between Hong Kong Island and the mainland. As soon as they arrived on Hong Kong Island, the merchant ships would be separated from them, and the fleet would be able to speed up at that time. However, the distance between Hong Kong Island and Yizhou Island is actually very close, and after arriving at Hong Kong Island, it will only take about four or five hours for this warship to reach Yizhou Island. The real delay was the sea route before arriving on Hong Kong Island.

Although I feel that this time to go to sea is indeed very long, Tianyou has no other way. He couldn't fly with his sword, and even if he could, as a guest, he wouldn't be able to leave from Qi Fusheng's fleet, so he could only wait in a hurry.

On the first day of the fleet's departure, Tiger Niu was quite excited, but after a day of playing, the freshness passed, and on the second day, she began to get bored. Fortunately, Mi Tianque came to the boat and invited them to go fishing together, and finally found something to do. It's a pity that the tiger girl is really not suitable for fishing, this girl is completely the protagonist of the story of the kitten fishing, holding the fishing rod and hanging for a while before losing patience, simply diving into the water to catch fish by herself.

Although cats usually don't like water, the amazing thing is that this species is actually quite watery. In addition, the tiger girl is a big demon after all, and with her intelligence, she naturally can't be seen as an ordinary tiger. So after throwing away the fishing rod, she actually caught a fish from the sea with her bare hands. What's even more infuriating is that although there is only one, the fish caught by the tiger girl is extremely large, which is several times more than the total harvest of God blessed their group of people who have been hanging for a long time.

"Hurry up, help me do it, I'm going to eat fish at noon." Using demonic power to shake the sea water on her body, the tiger girl excitedly shouted at the sailors on the ship, commanding them to help make fish.

It's just that the sailor looked at the fish that was longer than himself, but he pumped it straight, and he struggled for a long time before carefully persuading: "This fish can't be eaten!"

"Why can't you eat it?" Hu Niu asked angrily, "Is it only the fish that hangs up is a fish, and the fish I caught is not a fish?"

The sailor was just an ordinary person, and he was already very nervous in the face of the distinguished guests of the King of Yizhou. Now I was frightened by the coercion unconsciously released by the tiger girl, and I couldn't even speak. Even if it is an ordinary tiger, humans will instinctively fear in front of it, but the tiger girl is a tiger demon at the level of a big demon, and the deterrent effect is almost scaring the sailor.

Fortunately, the captain rushed over before the sailors collapsed. Compared with the sailor, this guy is a bit of a cultivator, plus his status is higher, and he is not so timid, so he is not greatly affected.

The captain patiently explained to Hu Niu, "You don't know something. This vast sea, boundless, is much more than the products on the land. What is on the land, we have it in the sea. Therefore, like monsters and the like, we naturally have a lot of them in the sea. ”

"Monsters?"

Of course, the tiger girl knows what she caught, but this is just a big fish that has just had a trace of demonic power, and for her, it is a fish, except for the big, it is no different from ordinary fish and Ben. So suddenly hearing this word made Tiger Girl a little confused.

The captain said very seriously: "Yes, there are also monsters in this sea, and the one you caught is the lowest existence among those fish demons. Originally, when we were fishing and fishing at sea, the only ones we could hang up were ordinary fish. Although this fish demon has not yet developed his mind, he is not as stupid as ordinary fish, and knows not to bite the hook, and he also knows how to get out from under the fishing net. Therefore, unless there is an accident, it is generally not caught by fishermen. But once it is really caught, then it must be released immediately. ”

"Let go? Why should I let go of the fish I caught? A fish demon whose wisdom has not been fully opened, can it still eat us?"

When the captain heard this, he was anxious, "This fish demon doesn't matter, if it's on the shore, it's eaten." It's amazing that it's not close to the beach for a while. But we're in the sea, so that's not going to work. ”

"What's wrong with the sea?"

"The fish demons in this sea are different from the demons on land, they are all organized. Ordinary krakens don't dare to provoke the fish demon easily, otherwise they will inevitably be killed. ”

"What kind of murder?" was asked by Tianyou, because he was also curious.

Seeing that Tianyou was interested, Mi Tianque explained on behalf of the captain: "In fact, there is a very powerful demon king living in this sea, and it may even have reached the level of a great demon king. He rules most of the demon clans in the nearby seas. If someone hurts their demon clan, they will inevitably be retaliated.

Originally, if it was on land, there would naturally be monks to deal with it. But this sea is boundless, and the kraken comes and goes freely, even if there is a great power willing to make a move, he can't find him, so he can't deal with it.

Fortunately, the demon king is also responsible, never taking the initiative to attack humans, nor will he participate in other kraken's attacks on humans. Only when someone first captures and harms the Kraken will he take action.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, everyone has agreed that even if the demon clan in the sea is fished, they will be released directly and not provoked by them. ”

"What if the Kraken attacked the human ship first?" asked Qi Xiaomei.

"Then you can resist as much as you can, even if you kill the demon clan. As long as it is not a human who takes the initiative to attack, the demon king will not interfere. ”

"This demon king is reasonable. After Tianyou sighed, he turned to the tiger girl and said, "Since this is the case, we still don't want everyone to make trouble." Tiger girl, throw that fish demon back into the sea. ”

"Oh. Some reluctant tiger girls did not disobey the meaning of Tianyou, dragged the fish demon to the side of the boat, and then kicked it down.

The fish demon is also powerful, and he was kicked out of the water a hundred meters away before falling into the water with a pop, and he wagged his tail like nothing and dived into the deep sea in the blink of an eye. This has to be replaced by something on the earth, and if it is kicked so far, it is estimated that it will be kicked to death a long time ago.

The tiger girl who has no prey is naturally sullen, but after Tianyou said that she would divide half of the fish she caught, this girl became energetic again. It's just that what they don't know is that they have already broken the unspoken rules of that demon king.
