Chapter 2 The Sea of Stars (Prosperous Year, Auspicious First Day)
The Sea of Stars mentioned in Kuimu's mouth is actually a dense turbulence of time and space, and the passage into the continent of the Kingdom of God floats up and down in this turbulence, like a ship floating in the sea. Akasu fell at the end of the group, and slowly moved forward with the group. From a distance, the passage looked like a weed floating in the sea, and it looked like it would be broken by turbulence at any moment, but Akasu knew that he shouldn't be so vulnerable. Because he found that every once in a while there would be several nails carved into the tunnel. This kind of array nail is usually a secret treasure used only when repairing and guarding the great array in the outside world, and along the way, the place where this secret treasure is used has been encountered in at least ten places, which shows that the three parts of the wind god have paid too much for this passage after countless years.
Akasu carefully observed the boundless turbulence of time and space, and at the same time felt a hint of mystery when he first entered this space. It was a breath of life and death energy, intertwined in this vast and boundless sea of stars. That subtle feeling, if he hadn't cultivated the energy perception of the Heaven and Earth chapter before, Akasu wouldn't have been able to perceive it at all. In his perception, life and death are like two opposite sides, and they are like one interdependent, more like the cycle of you coming and going.
"Tonight, the boat is in the middle of the stream.
Today, I have to be in the same boat with my son.
Shame is good, not shameful.
The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king. ......”
Akasu, who was perceiving the subtlety of life, suddenly heard a song in the ancient language of the beasts floating in the boundless sea of stars, singing in the voice of a man with a low voice, low and sad. Listening to this song, Akasu thought of teaching him the ancient beast language of the green mantle, and also thought of the owner of the green mantle, Mo Lingxi, and his thoughts suddenly drifted far, far away......
The experienced disciples of the Wind Spirit Department had obviously heard this ethereal song as well. The song was full of affection, but only a few of the disciples could understand it, and found that the language used by the orcs was similar. And the disciples who couldn't understand couldn't help but think of all kinds of strange rumors about this sea of stars, and one by one's faces became nervous, and some disciples even broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course, Kuimu, who was advancing in front of him, heard this song as well, but he only secretly adjusted the reaction of his whole body to the best state, and was ready to respond to the enemy in case he needed to. didn't even look back, and said loudly: "You don't need to panic, you will often encounter this kind of weirdness in the future." The song of the sea of stars just now is "Song of the Stars", and it is said that before the formation of the sea of stars, there was a country called the Xingchen Dynasty, and the third prince of the Xingchen Dynasty, Zixi, often played in the river, and the bells and drums rang in unison. Once, an orc who rocked a boat, as soon as the music stopped, hugged the oars and sang a song in the language of the beast. Zixi didn't understand, so he asked someone to translate it into Xingchen language. It was discovered that the song was sung about the deep and sincere love of the orc boatman for Zixi, which moved the prince a lot. When you learn the language of the orcs, you'll understand the meaning of this song. The song we hear today may be what happened in this sea of stars during the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, which was recorded by a special energy magnetic field, and appeared at a special moment. It's even more bizarre than this, I've seen the mirage bazaar back then, there's not much to worry about, everyone follow closely, there is still an hour of road we can get to Zhenbeitai. ”
Kuimu hummed a minor tune in his whistle and continued to move forward. When the disciples heard Elder Kuimu's explanation and relaxed whistle, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this kingdom of gods was really not ordinary, and they had encountered something strange as soon as they entered the Sea of Stars. Some of the old disciples who had been here before, although their expressions were a little relaxed, were still careful to guard against unknown dangers. Because they know that although they are currently in the outer area of the Star Sea, it does not mean that they are absolutely safe, and there was once a disciple who was greedy for an orc corpse floating in the distance, and he caused a strange situation in this peripheral passage, and a group of more than a dozen people turned into demonic beasts without warning and buried themselves in the Star Sea. As a result, the expedition to the Kingdom of God suffered extremely heavy losses.
The crowd continued on their way, and the strange song did not ring again. However, Akasu didn't seem to be at ease, after experiencing the weirdness of the endless sea, Akasu had a special instinct for this kind of unprovoked ballad, and he was convinced that this song would not sound for no reason, and his party must have attracted the attention of some lurking being. As for who this being is and what his intentions are, I can't feel it for a while.
At some point, Mordo rubbed to the back of the group, quietly shoved a green-skinned gourd into Akasu's hand, winked at Akasu at the same time, and then quickly caught up with the others. Thinking of Moldo's look of suppression and shock after taking a sip, Akasu smiled helplessly. This green skin gourd, which seems to be only the size of a palm, should be an existence similar to a storage bag, with experience, Akasu shook the gourd, and without asking him, he understood what was inside, at least three jars of wine. Before coming to Vientiane World, Akasu was still a child who had just turned twelve, and he drank with his friend Lukes and them quietly stealing two sips. And now, although only a dozen months have passed, Akasu's growth can no longer be measured by traditional time, and those experiences of Yerusi have completely reborn Akasu.
He opened the wine gourd and took a sip gently, and a clear flow down his throat made the whole person feel refreshed. In this way, Akasu followed everyone through the original rickety road and arrived at Beitai, the first gathering place of the Aeolian Clan, in a small amount of time.
Zhenbeitai is located on a vast dark red land, and from a distance, it looks like a giant beast squatting in the wilderness. Although the city looked dilapidated, it was still extremely tall, even comparable to Qinzhou City in the Heavenly Divine Illusion Realm. There are two words engraved on the city tower like flowers and birds, and I heard the old disciple say that this is the text of the Xingchen Dynasty of the year, and the word 'Zhenbei' is written on it. This is said to be a pass on the northern border of the Star Dynasty, and out of the pass is the world of orcs. After the Great Tribulation, the Xingchen Dynasty became the Xingchen Sea, and the north platform of this town, along with a large piece of land, was fortunate to remain, floating in endless turbulence. Out of Zhenbeitai, you need to cross a desert to enter the second pass to Mingdu, from there to enter the starry turbulence channel, and finally enter the first island. Like countless other great clans, the Wind God Clan still retains its own foothold in this world of the gods because it was once extremely brilliant, which is the north platform of this town. After Zhenbeitai, for these children of the Wind God Department, they really entered the world of the Kingdom of Gods full of crises, including the indigenous inhabitants of this world, the various forces left over from the hundreds of races in the Vientiane Realm, and the giant beasts of the desolate wilderness that have lasted for countless years.
Akasu followed the disciples into the inner city quickly. This inner city is not too big, about two miles wide and narrow, there are some scattered shops around, and the shopkeepers are all orcs, obviously the north platform of this town has been integrated with the local world, and this place has become a place for the Fengshen clan to trade with the orcs of this world.
"Let's rest for the day, and tomorrow we will cross the Mowusu Desert," Yinhua said to the children. After saying that, he walked with Kuimu and the holy woman to a tall stone house. The stone house is located in the northwest direction of the inner city, and next to the house are a few salamanders that are special to this area, and the huge lizards are covered with soft blankets, which can be seen that the local orcs rely on this lizard for transportation. On a boulder outside the stone house sat an old orc man in armor, squinting his eyes and smoking a long, thin cigarette pouch, and the tobacco in the pot flickered and flickered in the dimness. Look closely, this cigarette stick is made of a special animal bone, the whole body is white and crystalline, the smoke pot is made of purple cooked copper, and it is the craftsmanship of the Heavenly Craftsman Pavilion in the Vientiane Realm.
"Kuimu, you're late this time, all the good things have been replaced by Nur Hua" The old orc obviously knew Kuimu, and greeted him from afar
"Haha, as the old saying goes, a good meal is not afraid of being late. Old wolf, let's see if you like the gift I gave you," Kuimu said, taking out a storage bag from his bosom and throwing it at the old orc.
The old man named the old wolf took the storage bag, poked his head and looked at the contents of the bag with the tip of his nose trembling slightly, and his happy mouth was about to reach the root of his ears.
"Dragon Soul Grass, you actually brought Dragon Soul Grass!Hehe, say it, my friend, what do you want from me" The old wolf took the storage bag, stretched out his hands and hugged Kuimu and made a close salute.
"Let's rest for a day, and then roast an alpaca in the evening, and we'll say it's okay to eat it. I brought the monkey wine with me this time," Kuimu said with a smile
"Children, go and slaughter two alpacas, and I'm going to have a drink with Elder Kuimu in the evening," the old wolf shouted into the stone house behind him.
"Let's go, let's have a cup of tea in the house to drive away the cold," the old wolf warmly invited everyone into the stone house.
This orc called the old wolf is said to be a hybrid descendant of the Anemo God Clan and this indigenous orc, and has stayed near Zhenbeitai for a long time, doing business between the orcs and the Anemo God clan. At the beginning of the period, the north platform of this town was guarded by the children left by the Wind God Department all the year round, and as the power of the Wind God Department gradually weakened, and the disciples and orcs who were responsible for the town guard combined to leave countless descendants. The matter of guarding the north platform of the town was gradually handed over to these half-blood orcs. Because these orcs are not pure orc descendants, the orc royal court of the kingdom of God contemptuously calls them half-orcs, does not accept them back, and slowly they no longer want to return to the so-called orc tribe. He has lived for a long time in the cities at the junction of the various Vientiane realms and the kingdom of God. The old wolf is the chief of the orc tribe in Zhenbei this year, and he governs the desert within a radius of 700 miles outside Zhenbei Terrace, and the outer area of the Xingchen Sea near Zhenbei Terrace. Every year, except for reinforcing the passage, there are no other affairs arranged by the Fengshen Clan, and they are also leisurely.
After receiving Elder Yinhua's order, the disciples of the Wind Spirit Department looked for a place to rest in twos and threes, and some of the old disciples who had been to the Kingdom of God had already gone to some shops to exchange some things that might be used in the future. There was even a disciple who took a beaded flower and gave it to an acquaintance of a cat-eared beauty, and the two happily burrowed into a tent in the distance.
Moldor somehow took out a piece of roast beef and stuffed it into Akasu's hand, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Don't look at it, that catwoman can hook away people's souls at a glance, you see that little chest is shaking and shaking." If you really want to find an orc girl, brother, I can take you somewhere," he said, with a look of knowing everything
Akasu felt a chill in his heart, and his face turned red. He originally looked at Catwoman and somehow remembered Yun Ji that Ye Rusi met in the world of gods, remembered the lingering night with Yun Ji, and remembered the bits and pieces of Yun Ji. As soon as Moldor persuaded him, his face turned red involuntarily.
Akasu ignored Moldor and found a secluded place to drink. Moldor looked at Akasu as if he was angry, and touched his head, thinking that he had not said anything wrong. Perhaps the god made him embarrassed by what he said, so he didn't dare to disturb Akasu anymore, and sat down on a big rock near Akasu and drank heavily. Molder is a good wine, and the amount of wine is good, and after a while, he drank a few jars of wine, and then lay down on the bluestone and fell asleep, snoring loudly for a while, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
The people around him saw that Moldo had drunk too much, and no one bothered him, obviously this kind of scene was not the first time that everyone had seen it in the Wind Spirit Department.
Akasu saw from a distance that Moldo had drunk too much and was sleeping, and he didn't say anything, but drank the wine in the green gourd one after another. He thought of the ballad of the Sea of Stars, and then thought of the mysterious feeling of life and death that he had experienced, and finally couldn't help but think of Yun Ji. After returning to the Vientiane Realm, what he missed most about the Celestial God World was actually the time when he had adventures with Yun Ji. I don't know if it's the regret left by not rescuing Yun Ji in the end, or if Yun Ji's appearance is very similar to the holy daughter of the Wind Spirit Clan, and after seeing the spirit element in Akasu, I miss Yun Ji even more. Young people will always encounter a certain relationship inadvertently, because they do not realize the preciousness of this relationship, and they are always very nostalgic after losing, whether he is missing the woman who made his heart ache or miss the innocent years, no one will know, maybe he just misses that unattainable regret.
