Chapter 31: Secret Crossing

After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Huansheng only felt that his horizons had broadened a lot, and he nodded with emotion: "I see, it seems that the world is so big and the universe is far beyond my imagination."

In vain, I thought I had seen it thoroughly, but I didn't expect it to be just a frog in the water who just sat in a well and watched the sky. ”

As he spoke, he saluted the old man again, "Thank you, old man, for making me gain a lot of knowledge and self-reflection."

Your Excellency is knowledgeable, unlike the layman, who does not know the name of the high surname, what kind of identity did you have before? ”

"My surname is Sen, my name is mysterious, and I am really ashamed of my ancestors when I talk about the past," the old man said bitterly: "It's shameful to be a person, don't mention it." ”

Hearing that Sen Xuanji was reluctant to mention the past, Zhang Huansheng did not force it, but nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing that he was so understanding, Sen Xuanji's face softened slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "Young man, what is your surname, and what was your identity before you were deceived into this thief ship?" ”

"My name is Zhang Huansheng," Zhang Huansheng said with a smile, "My parents died when I was a child, and I was adopted by the Tzu Chi Hall run by the Xuguo government.

He turned sixteen years old this year, and the government was no longer in charge, so he wanted to find a way to live, because he heard that although the sea merchants were dangerous, they made great profits and were quite promising, so they fell into this evil trap. ”

Hearing this, Sen Xuanji nodded in disbelief, but he didn't ask anything, only whispered, "So that's the case." And he spoke no more.

At this time, the young men from Nanyang who were thrown into the cabin with Zhang Huansheng finally relieved themselves, and struggled to get up straight from the straw pile one by one, looking around in fear and trance, speechless for a long time.

The entire chamber was thus completely silent.

In this way, more than a dozen poor teenagers from the prosperous counties of Yanhuang Linhai, and thousands of old and young women and children from the Great Chu Border Fortress Fortress, these two existences that can be said to be incompatible, were imprisoned together because of chance.

However, although their origins are very different, in the eyes of the slave traders, they are all just goods, and life will not be easy.

Every morning, dozens of baskets are thrown in with a little salt to taste, herbs to avoid miasma, hard dough cakes like stones, and dozens of buckets of water are all the food.

When I was sleepy, I could only sleep directly in the straw pile, using the dry grass to fight against the extremely cold undercurrents that appeared from time to time in the wild sea.

In such a terrible environment, people in the cabin died of hunger and cold almost every day.

From time to time, there are more unfortunate people, because the herbs mixed in the dough cake are not effective enough to avoid the miasma, and they are hurt by the chaos miasma, and suddenly go crazy and kill each other.

Because relatives often get together in the cabin, the final result of this kind of person is usually to kill relatives and then die of exhaustion, which is really tragic.

Fortunately, Nasen Xuanji was extremely authoritative among the old and weak women and children in the power country, and maintained the rules in the cabin, and every time someone died, he would be discovered in time and thrown from the vent like a sea;

All the people defecate in one place;

Coupled with the extremely cold undercurrent in the wild ocean, in addition to freezing people to death, it can also freeze the plague, so the great luck in misfortune is that there is no great epidemic in the cabin that will make people die.

But even so, the scene of staying in a lonely boat of hell, which seems to be in a ship, suffering every day, but never sailing to the end, is still more and more unbearable.

Among the thousands of slaves, I am afraid that only Zhang is still alive and has always maintained a peaceful state of mind, secretly looking forward to it.

Since he was imprisoned in the giant ship, he actually quietly used his wind control magic power that night, blowing the sails, and quietly trending the sea ship towards the land that he sensed in the dark, and the land occupied by the primordial gods.

If it was something out of nothing, creating wind breath out of thin air, and blowing such a huge wooden boat to sail, Zhang Huansheng's strength at this time would not be able to do it at all.

But there are strong winds on the savage sea all the time, and he can easily do it just by taking advantage of the situation to turn these naturally formed sea breezes in a different direction.

And this kind of borrowing power is also one of the great benefits of the Yuan Shen after evolving into the top foreign gods and demons and awakening the supernatural powers.

Zhang Huansheng has actually been planning since a few years ago, going to sea to find the land occupied by his Yuan Shen, and ending the inexplicable summoning of the demon in the underworld, which is becoming more and more heart-scratching and almost becoming a cultivator.

After a lot of consideration, it was finally decided to use the power of maritime merchants to fulfill this wish.

This is because since ancient times, merchants in the wild sea, although they can rely on astrolabe positioning, there is no fixed shipping route.

The reason is that I don't know how many terrifying monsters are hiding in the depths of the vast ocean, and no matter how familiar a route is, a powerful kraken suddenly swims in, and suddenly a radius of hundreds of miles becomes dangerous waters, so there is never a truly safe waterway.

As long as the general direction is right, there is no retreat from the north to the south, and there is no danger ahead, the maritime merchants will let the ships sail, wait until they cross the ocean and cross the sea, and after docking, they will gaze at the stars and locate themselves, and rush to their destinations along the coastline safely and steadily.

According to the impression left by Zhang Huansheng's return to Nanyang Mansion with the fleet of the Howling Wind Army when he was young, as well as the direction he sensed in the dark, combined with the navigable charts of the east and west continents, it was determined that the giant island where the Great Sumeru Temple was located happened to be between the east and west continents.

In this way, as long as he can step on a merchant ship that sails to Xizhou, Zhang Huansheng can use his wind control magic power, and unconsciously drive the sea ship to the place occupied by the dragon elephant transformed by his original god.

It is precisely because of this that he pretended to be deceived and got on the giant ship of the slave traders.

No matter how well the merchant ships are built, they cannot compare with the warships built by the government.

This slave trader's sea boat also has some talismans engraved on the bottom of the boat, which will be activated by water power in case of rapids, reducing the weight of the giant boat, and the head of the monster hanging on the bow of the ship also has the ability to break the waves, which can reduce the impact of the deep sea undercurrent on the sea boat.

But compared to those when the Howling Wind Army crossed the sea, there was a special magic weapon at the stern to make waves, pushing the voyage, the entire hull was engraved with charms, and the mountains were heavy but not sinking when it was stormy, and the warships that were as light as goose feathers but did not float when sailing on weekdays were still very different.

Ten years ago, it was only ten days on the warship of the Howling Wind Army, and Zhang Huansheng was born in the yellow land, but this time he secretly adjusted the direction of the sea ship according to the induction in his heart, and the wind sailed for more than 20 days, but he still did not return to the giant island where the Great Sumeru Temple was located, fortunately, the distance was not far away.

At noon that day, after gnawing on the cake as hard as a stone, Zhang Huansheng habitually shrank in a corner of the cabin, seemingly falling into a fugue, but in fact, he secretly tried his best, exerted his magical power to resist the wind, and made the final sprint.
