According to ancient legends, the extreme south of the world is the South China Sea, and within the South China Sea, there is a whirlpool called Guixu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The land of the South China Sea has been a poor and wild land since ancient times, and the vast majority of the people living here live on the sea and rely on fishing to maintain a poor life. Near the sea, there is a family, only two brothers, the elder brother Niu was infected with a strange disease when he went to sea, and has not yet recovered, and can only do some simple odd jobs in the house every day, and the task of making a living falls on the younger brother Erniu.

Erniu shook the money bag in his hand, with an innocent smile on his face, he and his brother's parents went early, Da Niu pulled him in his heart like a father, Da Niu is not only a brother, but also a father. After many years of working at sea, Da Niu had also accumulated a considerable amount of savings, which was enough to bring a girl from a neighboring village into the door, but after suffering from a strange disease, he could not go to sea to work, and he had to feed on medicine every day. Erniu knows his brother's thoughts, he has been going to sea with the big ship since he was thirteen years old, and he has accumulated a fortune again over the years, and the money is enough as a dowry for the marriage, and in a few days, Erniu plans to propose marriage for his brother and marry the girl into the door.

The small households in the neighboring village also think that the big cow is suffering from a strange disease, although there is no big problem, but there is no ability to settle down, so the dowry required is a lot more, for this reason, the two cows have been desperately making money for several years, the farther and more difficult he will go, a few years down, he has followed the large and small ships to the sea countless times, has been to countless dangerous places, young is already a famous Bo Langer in the South China Sea. Today, he plans to go fishing in the open sea with the Yu family's big boat, the distance is long, and the conditions are difficult, so the salary is high.

"Little brother, do you know what ships are going to the open sea recently?" A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar stopped Erniu's way and asked him.

Erniu pointed to a giant ship anchored on the beach, and said: "If Mr. wants to go to the open sea, please come with me, that giant ship belongs to the Yu family, and in the South China Sea, there is such a ship that will go to the open sea in the near future, if Mr. misses another opportunity, it will be difficult." ”

"So, thank you, little brother." The middle-aged man took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to Erniu, Erniu was happy in his heart, and he also had a smile on his face, he had also received rewards from others over the years, and it was rare to be as generous as this middle-aged man.

Er Niu led the man through the streets and alleys, and soon came to the boarding place of the ship, Er Niu stepped forward and said to a white-haired old man: "Uncle Ming, this son is going to the open sea." After saying that, he didn't care about the middle-aged man, and got on the boat alone to clean up the deck.

"Old Yu Tianming, is the steward of this 'Longji', I don't know where the son wants to go?" The old man put down the account book in his hand and greeted the man in front of him, every time he goes to sea, there will be people who ask to follow him to the sea, and naturally he will collect some silver taels depending on the situation, the man in front of him has an extraordinary look and bearing, if he wants to follow this Longji to the sea, it is an extra income, Yu Tianming is naturally happy. "In Xia Deng Langqing, this time, I don't know if you can go to Wangxu Island?" The man shook the paper fan in his hand lightly, and there was no sadness or joy in his expression, obviously he was thirty years old, but it made people feel a sense of vicissitudes.

"Look at the ruins! Since Childe knows about this island, he must also understand the stakes, yes, this time we are going to Wangxu Island, if Childe insists on going, the old man should do this. Although Yu Tianming said that he agreed to this, there was still a hint of difficulty on his face, but he didn't know that Deng Rongqing had already thrown out a money bag, which was quite heavy, and he even got on the boat by himself.

Yu Tianming was very puzzled in his heart, this man knew a lot about human affairs, just now he just showed a trace of embarrassment, and the man immediately took out a large amount of money, this man, he, couldn't see through.

Deng Rongqing stood alone on the deck, standing upright, white as snow, letting the sea breeze caress by, if he was close, he could still hear him muttering words such as "Yu family", "Longji", "the ninth time" and so on.

At night, several crew members were fishing on the boat, Erniu was also among them, he silently remembered that one of his ancestors had traveled all over the South China Sea with the ship, and he was working under a wizard, accompanied by that person who had been to every sea area in the South China Sea, and even more to the eyes of the Guixu Sea, after returning, the wizard wrote the book "Atlas of the South China Sea", famous all over the world, the ancestors of Erniu were also proud of it, that is, to this day, Erniu is also proud of his ancestors who have traveled all over the South China Sea, and there is a portrait of the ancestor and the book wizard in his home, Today he saw Deng Rongqing, but he faintly felt that the two had similarities, similar shapes, and strange spirits, but he just felt that it was just like that, that person was a character hundreds of years ago, and it was impossible to have anything to do with the current Deng Rongqing.

"Little brother, have you ever been to Wangxu?" Erniu didn't notice that Deng Rongqing had already walked to his side, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and poured a sip into his mouth from time to time.

Erniu was in a daze, just now, he almost thought that Deng Rongqing was the man in the portrait, and the man in the portrait was also carrying a wine jug, but the person in front of him had more vicissitudes than the portrait, and he hurriedly said: "Wangxu I know, last time I went to the far sea with a big merchant ship and saw Wangxu Island, but the people on the boat were scared and didn't dare to go forward, but this time our ship is much better than the merchant ship, I heard Uncle Yu say that this time I will go to the island." ”

Deng Rongqing took another sip of wine into his mouth, looked at the moon on the sea, sighed deeply, and whispered: "Return to the ruins, return to the ruins." ”

The Longji had been traveling for several more months, and had already come to the far sea, only a few dozen miles away from Nawangxu Island, and it would be reached in an hour or two.

"Everyone be careful, we have already sacrificed to the Dragon King, we are going to the island!" Yu Tianming said loudly to everyone on the boat.

For many days, Deng Rongqing and Erniu have been in contact with a lot, although Deng Rongqing is silent every time, often just one or two sentences and no longer speaks, but this has made Erniu grow a lot of knowledge, all kinds of exotic fish emerging in the sea, all kinds of wonders, Deng Rongqing is well aware, as if his experienced sailor is a fledgling novice, Deng Rongqing often says some words to himself, the most one of them, is "the ninth time", in his spare time, Erniu is also thinking about what the ninth time is, It's just that I didn't come up with a reason after all.

"Deng Gongzi, is this Wangxu Island really what you said, so why do we still have to go ashore?" Er Niu pulled the canvas and asked Deng Rongqing.

Deng Rongqing didn't answer him, looked at the cloudy Wangxu Island, was silent, and said after a long time: "Guixu is the eye of the sea in the world, the sea water flows into the ruins and is swallowed, no one knows where it went, and Wangxu is the boundary of the sea. ”

In the blink of an eye, the Longji has approached Wangxu Island, just now it was still clear outside, after entering Wangxu Island, the sky is full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder in the clouds, and the island, it is a bare piece, there is not a single tree, there is no living being, only in the center, there is a stone tablet, on which is engraved a word "ruins".

After going to the island, the sailors on the ship are busy, the purpose of their coming here is to catch those strange and precious fish, and around this Wangxu Island, no matter what strange fish can be found, all the fish, after arriving at Wangxu Island, are trying their best to swim back, a nameless and strange attraction comes from afar, sucking them alive, facing the fishing nets of the fishermen around them, they do not flinch, as if it is a more terrible thing to be sucked away by that attraction.

Erniu saw with his own eyes that a huge whale was desperately swimming north, even if it hit their fishing nets, it was not afraid at all, but the suction was too huge, and the whale was sucked away by that force along with the fishing nets, if it wasn't for the crew to let go quickly, they would also be sucked away by that force.

"Before looking at the ruins, it is the ruins, the eyes of the sea in the world, swallowing the endless sea water." Deng Rongqing's voice sounded in Erniu's ears, and Erniu seemed to see that a whirlpool slowly appeared on the sea surface in the distance, and the whirlpool was bottomless, and the endless sea water poured into it, but it did not see the bottom at all.

"It is rumored that in the ruins, the end is time! By returning to the ruins, you can ..... Deng Rongqing's voice was a little excited, he held a sheep's pen in his hand, and wrote a word on the stone tablet.

Although Er Niu has not read a book, he also knows a few numbers on the stele, he saw that there are nine numbers on the stele, the word "one" on the top is already very blurred, and the bottom is the word "Jiu" that Deng Rongqing just wrote.

Deng Rongqing's figure had slowly disappeared into the sea, and Er Niu saw his body, as the sea water was sucked away by the sea eye of the ruins, he entered the ruins in an instant, and never saw a trace again.

At this time, Er Niu seemed to remember that the person who traveled all over the South China Sea with his ancestors was also called Deng Rongqing.

Return to the ruins, the end
