Chapter 61, go to the sea to fight sharks

If you want to go to India through Nanzhong, you must first enter Yizhou, then there are four roads to go: one is to go down to Xiangyang first, tracing the water upstream, the other is from Jiangling against the Yangtze River, you can reach Ba County, and the third road is simply from Lingling to Jiaozhou, and then from Jiaozhou to Yizhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All three roads had to be shuttled through Jingzhou, and the problem was now full of battlefields from Xiangyang to Jiangling - according to Cao Cao, he left Cao Ren to garrison Jiangling, Zhou Yu led his army to attack it urgently, and Sun and Liu also rode out to harass the rear of Jiangling. Zhang Lu really doesn't want to go to the battlefield anymore, more than ten years ago when he went down to Dingmur Mountain for the first time, Henan is full of soldiers, ten rooms and nine empty situations, as at present, I feel sad when I think about it. He is now a little relieved of his original decision, if this is really into trouble, he doesn't know how many miserable scenes he will have to face - unless he is attached to the Cao family or the Sun family, he has always been in the base camp as a scribe, but if so, what is the point of crossing here?

To go to Yizhou, the fourth road is to go around to Guanzhong in the northwest direction, and then follow a few rugged and bumpy plank roads in the South Mountain to reach Hanzhong.

So after thinking about it, either I won't go to India first? Anyway, life is still long, even after ascending to the immortals, there is still a chance to travel far away. The loss of his short-term goal inevitably increased the inertia hidden in the depths of his soul, and he had no special thoughts.

So he picked up a dead branch from the side of the road, pointed one end with his index finger, and put the other end on the ground, and then released it violently—the dead branch fell to the ground, and the tip of the branch pointed due east.

"This providence also!" - although he did not believe in the will of heaven in the world at all - since it pointed to the east, then I will go to the east to play tricks...... By the way, if you want to go to a foreign land, you don't need to go to India, I can try to go to the sea. In his arms, he still carried the bamboo piece that Yu Ji gave him, which recorded the location of Tianyuan, why don't I go to Tianyuan and see if I can contact Tai Sui?

Regarding this "coup d'état" in the sky, Zhang Lu always had a doubt in his heart, but no one dared to say - including Zhang Jian - if he could directly face Tai Sui, maybe he could uncover the mystery.

So he set off from Bowang to the east, deliberately avoiding all the towns and villages along the way, and traveled for five days before finally arriving at the seaside. But when I got to the seashore, I was disappointed, and saw only gulls and birds, but no boats.

As far as the eye can see, there seems to be a village, so I strolled and inquired. In the past, when Chen Deng was the Taishou in Guangling, he made every effort to guard against Jiangdong, for fear that there would be spies to pass the news to and from Dongwu by sea, so the coast was sealed, and the board was not allowed to go into the water - anyway, there is a tradition of drying salt in this place, and there is really not much tradition of fishing, and the poor people on the seaside rely on collecting shellfish and shrimp to supplement their food, and they don't need to go to the sea at all.

When asked about going to the sea, the villagers said that you have to continue to go north, and that there may be fishing boats near Haixi County. But Zhang Lu waited until this step before he suddenly reacted - even if I could find the boat, how could I get the boat? I don't have any money...... I knew that I was in Bowang that day, so I asked Cao Cao to give a little. Cao Cao did want to give him a sum of "ancestral gold", that is, money, but Zhang Lu didn't think about it at the time, and said with a smile: "I cultivate the immortal way, I don't want to be ordinary, what is the use of money?"

Now that he thinks about it, he really wants to smack his two big mouths.

Forget it, one step is one step, so I set off north, and sure enough, I didn't travel a hundred miles, and I saw a small boat on the sea going up and down the waves. Find a small fishing village and ask the villagers, "Do you have any broken boats?" Can you give me one?

Zhang Lu wore nondescript clothes, but on the whole, he was more inclined to scholars--the sleeves were wide enough, the placket was long enough, and the ordinary people wanted to wear them like this, how could they go to work in the fields? If you want to give your lord a boat for nothing, then don't even think about it, even if the emperor comes, he can't just want to take my food away with his bare hands - unless he is an old man who brings troops to rob him, but as long as the ship is broken and the ship's wreckage is useless anyway, what if it gives it to you?

led Zhang Lu over to take a look, the ship was really ruined, almost completely falling apart, and only a few boards remained. In fact, with Zhang Lu's current cultivation ability, you can do it if you ask him to cut a boat now, although it may not conform to any mechanics and fluid mechanics, and it will definitely not be able to run fast, but the ships of this year have not been looking forward to how high the speed can be. The problem he had heard was that after the planks were cut and formed, they needed to be dried for a long time to dry them before they were painted, otherwise they would easily soak in the water - especially the corrosive seawater.

That's why I was looking for a scrap ship, and I asked the villagers for some more glue - that thing was not expensive, and it could be taken for nothing - glued together a few pieces of ship, and then lit a fire with real gas, and slowly dried it. The villagers laughed at him at first, saying that with this thing you put together, it may not sink when launched, but unfortunately it can't withstand the wind and waves, and if the boat is so easy to repair, we won't leave these boards everywhere, and promise to give them to you. But then I saw Zhang Lu rub his hands, and the flames started, and the villagers were all shocked, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed, and called "fairy".

Zhang Lu said: "I am not an immortal, and I occasionally get Taoism, so I want to go to sea to visit Xian'er." ”

After three days of preparation, he rowed what looked like a canoe into the sea. He is actually not very bold, the reason why he dares to venture into the ocean is because he has no fear, and he always feels that Zhang Jian has spent so much effort on himself, and he will not leave any alarm, and let himself drown in the sea. Well, even if Zhang Jian doesn't check for a while, won't there be a heavenly father? He won't let himself die easily.

Besides, now I will cultivate into an earth immortal, which will not scorch in the fire and sink in the water...... Okay, it can't be done, but it's not that simple as drowning. It's a big deal to go to sea to see if it's wrong, and I'll come back again.

Before leaving, he injected the true qi into the bamboo piece that Yu Ji gave him, and a thought penetrated into his mind, and hooked the stars in the sky, and the position was probably in the southeast direction. He pondered, I should follow the coastline south, and then go all the way east near Zhang'an County -- it would be safer.

He now has strong feet, like a galloping horse, and he can't travel thousands of miles in a day and night, but there are always six or seven hundred miles, so he can reach Xuzhou from Jingzhou in just five days -- this is still a bit of a detour, and if you really have to walk in a straight line, it is estimated that it will not take more than three days. But all this is useless at sea, and with a slight twist of the oars, the ship will leap forward like an arrow--he is strong enough--but can he reach speeds of up to three nautical miles per hour......?

Fortunately, the scenery on the sea is still good, and there is no pollution in these years, even if the sea is still blue, and there is only a slight fishy smell in the air. During the day, gulls and birds soar, fish jump, and at night, it is a real water and sky, and the view makes people feel refreshed. Of course, Zhang Lu had seen the sea in his previous life, but he had never stayed on the sea for so long, and when he came to this life, he had been separated from the ocean for a long time, and now he felt very cordial when he met again.

It's a pity that calm and calm are always only the surface of the ocean, the real sea is a moody tyrant, a moment ago it was fine, the next moment the sky was overcast, and then a strong wind swept in, and the huge waves rose to the sky. Zhang Lu stood up, pressed the board with both legs, and walked with one oar in one hand, fighting the wind and waves. The boat sank into the valley of the waves in an instant, and rushed up to the peak of the waves quickly, and the big waves poured Zhang Lu all over his body - if he was in the previous life, I am afraid that he was scared to pee on the spot, but in this life, he neither felt cold, nor was he much afraid, and even people and boats were like riding roller coasters, but he felt that even if he was a human in two lives, it was a rare thrill in his life.

Cultivating immortals is indeed beneficial, not to mention that it can overpower the great power of nature, at least dare to confront it head-on - if you really ascend to become an immortal, it is estimated that you will not take this mortal nature in your eyes. Zhang Lu let out a long howl, and his voice filled the sky, only to feel full of pride......

It's a pity that he can resist the wind and waves, and the broken boat that was hastily glued under his feet can't resist, and a big wave hits straight over, and the boat disintegrates in an instant. Zhang Lu was still laughing and scolding the sky one moment, and the next moment he sank directly into the water......

Fortunately, the sculls were still in his hands, and he could barely increase some buoyancy, so he held his breath, pushed his legs hard, and rushed straight up before he came out of the water, but was slapped down by a big wave. The sound of the waves was like laughter, mocking him: "Small, the earth immortal has not yet succeeded, you still dare to fight with me!" Several whirlpools rolled up, Zhang Lu raised his head, and he couldn't even see the surface of the water.

The water is stormy, and the underwater is relatively calm. Zhang Lu roughly judged the direction and swam towards the coast. He remembered that when the boat capsized, he could still see the coastline from a distance, and it was estimated that it would not be more than 100 zhang, and with his swimming speed, it would not take long for him to go ashore, but swimming, swimming, could it be that he made a mistake in judging his direction, why could he never see the land?

Although he is successful in cultivating, he still needs to breathe - he can't completely clear the valley, usually every ten days and a half months, it's best to be able to eat something, and fresh water can't be separated from it - so even if the time he holds his breath is several times longer than that of mortals, there is a limit after all, and he can no longer take a breath out of the water, and it is estimated that he can really drown alive.

In desperation, I had to paddle hard and kick my legs, trying to rush out of the water, but at this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of me, followed by a bloody mouth-

Damn, in this offshore place, in the turbid waves, there are sharks?!

Zhang Lu twisted his body, barely avoiding the shark's huge mouth. He leaned out of the water for a while, took a strong breath, and then sank again, only to see that the shark missed, turned around and pounced again. Zhang Lu had oxygen in his lungs, and he was no longer afraid of the overlord of the sea, so he immediately waved the oar in his right hand fiercely and slashed towards the shark's head.

On flat ground, it is estimated that this oar can directly open the scoop for the shark, the problem is that he is still sinking in the water, there is no way to borrow force, plus the density of the water, the resistance is greater than the air, the result of this oar is light and fluttering, and the movement is slow, the shark tilted its head and dodged.

But when the right oar came out, the left oar had already followed, and it still hit the shark's head from the side. The sound could not be heard clearly in the water, Zhang Lu watched as the wooden paddle broke into two, but the shark did not seem to be harmed, and the big mouth was already in front of him.

Zhang Lu had no choice but to abandon all the sculls, and his hands reached out one by one, firmly grabbed the shark's upper and lower jaws, and struggled to pull it. The shark was in pain, and hurriedly shrank back, and its tail rolled upside down, hitting Zhang Lu's side. Zhang Lu felt a strong surge, couldn't help but let go of his hands, swirling in the water and floating out.

The shark was also so strong, it was almost torn out by a person with his empty hands just now, but he was not afraid and pounced again. Zhang Lu dodged and dodged, and then he saw the eyes on the side of the shark's face - this look was not right!

It's you again! You're picking a good time to kill me!
