Chapter 62: The ocean currents sent me eastward

Knowing that the shark was possessed and attacked him, Zhang Lu made up his mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He still remembers that there was a time in "The Complete Biography of the Water Margin", when Yan Qing went to sumo with Optimus Prime Ren Yuan, and saw Ren Yuan writing on a card: "Punch the Nanshan Tiger and kick the Beihai Canglong." "It's written quite imposingly, but it's actually completely nonsense, it's just a matter of fighting a tiger, this person is in the water, and he has nowhere to borrow his strength - unless it's not the sea, he can easily reach the bottom - and he will naturally fall behind when fighting with aquatic animals. Even if he was now close to the strength of the Earth Immortal, it would not be an easy task to defeat this big shark in the sea for a while.

But knowing that the other party is possessed, it is easier to do. At that moment, Zhang Lu turned around in the water, turned over to the shark's head, and his right hand poked down slightly, and he touched the top door of the shark. If you throw a punch, you may not be able to seriously injure the shark, but as long as you vomit your true anger, you will be annihilated.

For Zhang Lu, today's Zheng is becoming less and less of a threat to himself, on the contrary, he has not seen him for more than ten years, but he often misses it...... Why do you miss it? Because it has not been completely eliminated, it may be possessed and attacked at any time, and this has not been seen for a long time, Zhang Lu's own strength has increased greatly, and God knows if it will evolve? If the heavenly god is the same as the human one, it is estimated that the immortals do not need to be so close to the enemy.

However, the heavenly beings do not have to be possessed, they can do whatever they want, they are formless and indispensable, and it is difficult to detect them, and that is the most terrible problem. Depending on the situation, it is impossible for the immortals to completely seal the space-time rift, and this rift also has a tendency to increase and widen, once there is a large-scale leakage, the dwelling place of the immortals, and then the entire heavenly realm, may be destroyed by it.

I don't know how to put an end to it when I ascend to the sky...... Tai Sui's prophecy is not accurate. Zhang Lu has learned some divination, he knows what the so-called prophecy is, it may change at any time in the future, and there is no definite prophecy.

Fortunately, there was no sign of evolution, and Zhang Lu's true anger was injected, and he died immediately. However, it was extinguished, and the shark was slightly stunned, but it still refused to give up, raised its head and wanted to bite Zhang Lu again. Zhang Lu was the same as Fang Cai, holding the shark's upper and lower jaws with both hands, and struggling to break it - this did not need to borrow force, it was much more convenient than punching and kicking - the shark was in pain, shrank backwards, and then turned his head - and ran.

Zhang Luxin said that you are also a person who eats soft and is afraid of hard. After such a toss, he felt a slight tightness in his chest, and quickly surfaced and took a long breath. The wind and waves did not stop, and he tried to climb to the top of the waves, turned his head to look around, and only cried out bitterly in his heart: What about the coast, where has the coast gone? He tossed and turned with the waves, and he did not know how far he had been washed away from the shore.

Looking at the sky again, I saw dark clouds, occasionally lit up a flash or two, and saw that there was rain falling, and the stars were all covered by dark clouds, and it was impossible to judge the direction. Zhang Lu felt dazed, so he was swept into the valley of the waves again, and said in his heart, am I really going to be drowned in the sea?

Calm down, calm down, think about it...... Why did this man drown? Theoretically, it was because he was not in the water, he couldn't breathe, and he just had no roof, and he either couldn't swim at all, or he was too exhausted to float on the surface of the water. Another point is that the heat in the water is lost quickly, and how can people move without heat?

But none of this is too much of a problem for me. First of all, he can swim; secondly, he is strong and healthy, and he will not feel tired after waiting for three or five days of leisure; third, although he cannot completely resist the cold, as written in martial arts novels, Hong Qigong should be able to lie in the snow for several hours without dying.

Even if the Titanic sinks, Ruth leans on a board, won't she also float and float and survive? Isn't she better than that woman? At least it won't be a problem to carry it at sea for three or five days, I don't believe that this storm will not stop for three or five days? But when the wind is calm and the stars appear, you can explore the direction and swim back to shore.

Thinking of this, my state of mind finally calmed down -- Lao Tzu will become an earth immortal, how can he die so easily? So he stretched his limbs, sat in a backstroke state, and let the waves lap and rise with the current, trying to save his physical strength. He can hold his breath for a long time, about ten minutes or so, and he needs to get his mouth and nose out of the water to get some fresh air, so he doesn't feel tired at all.

The cold was a problem, but it wasn't that serious for him.

Soon, the heavy rain poured down, Zhang Lu closed his eyes, secretly lucked his true qi, and walked around the sky. After about six cycles in a row, according to my usual experience of meditation, it must have taken more than three hours, and finally the clouds cleared and the rain cleared. It was the middle of the night, and after a while, the stars in the sky gradually appeared, Zhang Lu was quite pleased, so he stared at the sky with wide eyes-

Alas, this star...... That's not right!

In fact, he doesn't know much about the stars, but out of the memory of this life, he knows that he has to rely on the North Star to determine the direction at night - not to mention GPS in this era, even the compass is not yet, although the function of the magnet pointing north has been discovered, but no one has figured out how to use it on the gadgets that can be carried around - but, the sky is full of stars, which one is the North Star?

You must know that Zhang Lu has been active in the Central Plains before, and he can see the starry sky in the Central Plains clearly, and the sky of the East China Sea will inevitably miss by a millimeter. In addition, after the clouds closed, the weather became very clear, the visibility was good, and it seemed that every star was so bright...... Strangely, it stands to reason that the state of the air on the ground should not have much effect on distant stars—even bright stars may be obscured by clouds, but there is no reason for a dark star to brighten suddenly.

Now at a glance, it seems that the sky is full of stars and all of them are of the same magnitude, so how can I find the North Pole?!

In desperation, he had no choice but to concentrate and meditate, and once again put his true temperament into the bamboo piece in his arms, and explored the location of Tianyuan. It has only been two days since he descended from Haixi, and logically speaking, he can't even reach the mouth of the Yangtze River, even if he is pushed by storms and waves for a few hours, how far can he go? Why does it feel like the abyss is so close at hand?!

The abyss is near, which means that the coast is far away -- Yu Jike said that the island where the abyss is located is "1,200 miles away from the east of the Huiji Sea." This violent wind has swept me out of the land for more than a thousand miles?

But there are many strange things in this world, let alone on the unpredictable seas, and maybe there will be a Bermuda on the east coast at that time, but few people go out to sea and go undiscovered. The most important thing now is not to meditate, but to get ashore quickly and get alive!

So according to the direction of the bamboo piece, Zhang Lu struggled to swim towards the east. Sure enough, just an hour later, he saw the small island, which was almost identical to Yu Ji's description that day. Struggling to climb onto the beach, he finally felt a little tired—and he didn't know if it was really physically tired or mentally tired...... So he vomited with real qi, and quickly dried his clothes with his body heat, and then sat down cross-legged, and then transported Zhou Tian.

By the time the red sun rose, Zhang Lu was already radiant and healthy. He stood up and walked towards the hill in the center of the island that Yuji had mentioned, and on the way there were several fruit trees, which he had never seen before, and whose names he did not know what they were, and on which grew a round berry of a pale yellow. Zhang Lu picked a fruit and took a bite of it carefully--not that he was afraid of poison, but that he would not be killed by waiting for the poison to be repaid--it was so sour, so astringent! But it could replenish some water and nutrients, so he gritted his teeth and ate six pieces in a row.

On the top of the peak of the small mountain, there is indeed a bottomless hole, and the cave wall is jagged, but it is not difficult to climb. Zhang Lu rolled up his sleeves, folded the placket to his waist, took off his bast shoes, and began to climb with his bare hands and bare feet. I don't know how long it took, but it was estimated that it was already below sea level, and when I looked up again, the entrance of the cave became not as big as a fist, and only a faint sunlight penetrated through it.

The problem, however, is that when you look down, it's still pitch black. Didn't Yu Ji say that there was light in the sky below? He could still vaguely see the blue sky, the white clouds, and even the purple gate of the Immortal Garden, why couldn't I see anything? Was it Yu Ji lying, or did Tai Sui seal the mouth of the well? Why did he seal the well? Zhang Lu couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

But after doubting, he couldn't help but reconsider his itinerary. If there is still a glimmer of light below, we can also judge how far the heavenly realm is - although it may not be accurate - and now it is pitch black, and who knows how long it will take to climb to the end. No matter how good your physique is, if you climb for ten days and half a month, if you don't say anything else, there will be nowhere to touch the clear water, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to even return to the ground at that time.

Forget it, I'd better go back. So Zhang Lu climbed back to the island, and then looked around, the sea and the sky were the same - how should I go back to the mainland?

The memories of the previous life poured into my mind, thinking that Guo Jing and Huang Rong were trapped on Mingxia Island, and Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were trapped on Ice and Fire Island, and then they all set up a raft and dared to go to the sea, and after going through hardships and dangers, they still returned to the mainland.

Fortunately, there were many big trees on the island, so I found an ancient tree about two hugs thick, and seeing that the wood was still quite hard, I immediately pulled out my sword and cut it down. To say that his sword was brought out of the Han Palace that day, but ordinary soldiers, under normal circumstances, cut down giant trees, even if they are not broken, it is inevitable to collapse, fortunately, Zhang Lu is full of energy, and he is very skillful, not only successfully intercepting a section of giant trees more than a foot long, but also hollowing out the wood heart, and spending three days digging into a canoe.

Then he exposed the canoe to the sun, supplemented it with fire, and loaded it with more than ten catties of sour berries, and then found a clear and windless day, left the island, and tried to set off back to the Central Plains -- he calculated that he had been on the island for nearly a month.

He sailed due west, and although the stars in the sky were chaotic and he could not rely on the North Star to guide his direction, fortunately, he could still see the sun during the day, and the position of the sun would not change drastically. After two days of doing this, there was a rare light breeze and waves, and there was no storm, and there were no sharks or whales that were possessed...... But at dusk that day, he meditated on the boat until night, and then when the sun rose again the next day, it was wrong......

I'm obviously drawing westward, so even if it's hard to keep a straight line, it's not going to ...... How did the sun rise from the left side? According to the sun's position, it is now due north! What kind of demon moth is this, is it caused by ocean currents?

It could also be a current, because the boat would automatically drift north without him paddling. Zhang Lu was about to readjust his course, when suddenly he saw a faint glimpse of green at the extreme of his vision. Is there an island? Just go up and take a break.

Half a day later, he landed on the island. The island looked much larger than the abyss, and when he dragged the canoe to shore, he found a few shallow footprints on the sand. Ah, there are people on this island? I might as well ask what kind of place this is, and how far away I am from the mainland.

After setting up the canoe for the time being, he strolled inland, and sure enough, after walking a short distance, he ran into a seafarer. The man was short and dark, dressed in tatters, almost as if he were wearing only a sack, carrying a large rattan basket on his back, and from time to time he was attached to pick up shells, shrimp and crabs.

Zhang Lu approached and arched his hand: "May I ask ......?"

The man looked up, a little stunned, and opened his mouth to reveal a large set of bird language. Fortunately, Zhang Lu is proficient in some spells of the confusion control system, and is good at recognizing people's consciousness - if he really wants to ascend to the immortal, then he will be able to completely give up language and communicate with each other with consciousness - so supplemented by gestures and expressions, he finally roughly understood the other party's words.

The man asked Zhang Lu where he came from and what his name was, Zhang Lu answered honestly, and then asked back, and the answer he got was: "I am a local, named Atona......" It is probably such a pronunciation, but it doesn't sound like Chinese. When asked what kind of place this was, and how far away the mainland was, the man first shook his head and said that the locality is the locality, and it is not a person, so how can it have a name? As for the mainland, this is the coastal area of the mainland.

The two exchanged views for a long time, and Zhang Lu roughly judged that this was not China, not even some remote area of China, but probably a foreign island; this poor man had lived by the sea all his life, and in his opinion, the inland was vast, and that was naturally the mainland—this island seemed to be quite large.

Calculating the distance and direction, did he accidentally sail to the Ryukyus? In other words, what is the name of the main island of the Ryukyu Islands? Well, this year will definitely not be called the name of the future generations, and even if you think about it, it will be useless.

Zhang Lu became curious, so he followed this "Atona" to his fishing village, which was very small, with only about 20 households, and the residents were all short, ugly, and poor, and had never seen much of the world. Fortunately, there was an old man in the village, who had traveled abroad as a teenager, and he told Zhang Lu that he had walked about 2,000 steps inland -- that is, to the north, and that there was a relatively large village where the villagers cultivated the fields for a living.

So early the next morning, Zhang Lu set out for the interior, and when he arrived at the big village, which numbered about a hundred households, he asked, and the answer he received was: "We are the subjects of the king of the ditch." ”

Zhang Luxin said that the ditch girl country is still in the sister country...... Wait, ditch girl, dog slave! I can't come to Japan for some reason, right?!
