Chapter 50: A Seaside Fishing Village
The sky is as dark as a curtain, there is not a single cloud, the stars and the waning moon reflect each other, and the starlight and clear light are sprinkled in pieces. The snow-white waves rolled, and there were silver-white swimming fish jumping out of the sea from time to time.
Gu Nan controlled the flying boat to move forward at an altitude of about 300 zhang above the sea, and a layer of luminous light shimmered brightly to resist the oncoming wind. Although the kun ray had long since disappeared, the two did not dare to let their guard down. Who knows if any of the rays are hiding, hiding in the shadows, ready to attack them?
Suddenly, there was a violent whistling sound, and a huge shadow was seen moving rapidly across the sky. Gu Nan fixed his eyes and saw that it was a strange fish that was bigger than a kun ray. What a strange fish has divine wings on its back, strong and powerful with gusts of wind.
Gu Nan struggled to keep the flying boat alive and avoid being swept away by the strong winds. The speed of the flying boat plummeted, and it almost came to a standstill. He carefully looked at the strange fish and found that the strange fish was pitch black but covered in golden veins, and there were fins erect on its back, and dragon whiskers swayed at the corners of its mouth, blocking the starlight and clear light, as if carrying many stars and moons forward.
"What's wrong?"
The swaying flying boat woke up the little fat man, he was a little confused, and subconsciously followed Gu Nan's gaze, and he also found a strange fish on the sky. The strange fish still vibrated the huge divine wings and quickly moved away. The little fat man suddenly discovered that a strange fish had sharp teeth on its tail!!
The strange fish flapped its wings and disappeared, turning into a black dot in the blink of an eye, and disappearing where the sea and the sky met.
"What kind of fish is it? that can soar over the nine heavens? and is bigger than the body of a ray. That ray is nothing compared to this strange fish."
Gu Nan's mind was shocked, and he couldn't help but be in a trance. The strange fish is even more peculiar than the fish, not only with wings, but also with dragon whiskers swaying at the corners of its mouth. The Xue clan has a large collection of books in their library, but Gu Nan has not seen any record of this strange fish!
"Don't you think this strange fish is similar to which one of them?" the little fat man pondered, "This strange fish is the same as which one of them, and it also has sharp teeth at the end of its tail."
"It seems to be a bit of an impression," Gu Nan recalled carefully, then nodded, and said, "You mean that this strange fish is a close relative of the Kun ray?
"Maybe it's not a close relative, maybe it's an ancestor," the little fat man thought for a moment. Although the strange fish did not exude much coercion, just because of the flapping of its wings, it set off such a violent wind that it almost blew the flying boat down. This is enough to show that the strange fish is powerful, even more terrifying than any one of the rays!
"The ancestor of the Kun ray, and can soar for nine days?" Gu Nan was shocked and vaguely guessed. But this speculation is too terrifying, to know which existence is the same character as the ancient ancestor!
"Which strange fish is flying in the direction of the south?" asked Gu Nan.
"Hmm," the little fat man replied.
"Is it a coincidence? Wings on the back, from north to south, these situations are all in line with this," Gu Nan muttered.
When the little fat man heard this, a passage suddenly flashed in his mind: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, and it turns into a bird, its name is Peng, and it flies angrily and migrates in the South China Sea."
"Could it really be the Kunpeng Ancestor?"
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes, and felt a little dreamy. The name of the Kunpeng Ancestor is too big, and his cultivation has reached the point of reaching the peak, and he can fight with the Ancient Ancestor without defeat.
"We're so lucky, isn't it?!" His mouth was wide open, and his jaw was about to fall off.
Gu Nan looked at him with disdain and said, "Is it so exaggerated?"
"Kunpeng Ancestor is a legendary figure. There is no exaggeration at all, only more exaggeration," the little fat man said solemnly.
The strange fish was far away for a long time, and the fierce wind blowing in the void finally stopped, and the flying boat finally stopped shaking, and the speed of its progress began to increase rapidly.
Nearly a month passed, and the flying boat finally gradually approached the North Luzhou region. The surrounding sea is no longer a snow-white iceberg, but instead a scattered island like a star. Gu Nan and the little fat man looked a little embarrassed, after all, they had been adrift at sea for more than half a month, and there was a sense of exhaustion between their eyebrows that could not be hidden.
During this month, they experienced many crises, but they all escaped easily because of the flying boat. Only once, they encountered great danger, and finally tried everything to escape, and even both of them suffered a lot of injuries.
On the third day after witnessing the strange fish, they found an island in an area of the ocean. The two wanted to have a good rest, so they went to the island, and danger struck.
There are a large number of Qing Tianpeng in the Fourth Secret Realm on which island, and their strength is extremely terrifying, and they can smash the two of them with a flap of their wings. There is even a king bird in which Qingtian Peng, and his cultivation has touched the threshold of the fifth secret realm, and half a foot has stepped into it.
Qing Tianpeng, a descendant of the next generation of the divine bird Qingluan, contains the thin blood of the divine bird in his body, and his speed is far faster than that of ordinary birds, and he is the only overlord of any island. Under the order of the king bird, a large number of Qing Tianpeng patrolled over the island, and the flying boat of Gu Nan and the two lost its effect.
Fortunately, the two of them are very witty, since they can't go in the air, they go underwater. The Qingtian Peng clan is powerful, so there are no other powerful beasts in the sea. Gu Nan sealed the acupuncture points around the five internal organs, which could turn external breathing into internal breathing, and replaced the nasal cavity with the pores around the body. The little fat man also has a special method of absorbing qi, so the two of them have been swimming a distance of several hundred zhang before returning to the sea, and the envoy quickly left this sea area with the flying boat.
Since then, the two have not been on an island. Even if they happened to meet them, they quickly avoided them and didn't dare to go to the island at all. Because what happened to Qing Tianpeng left them too much impression, which made them a little afraid!
"Where is the land? I finally don't have to look at this disgusting sight."
On the flying boat, the little fat man burst into tears. I've been looking at the same scene for a month, and he almost threw up. Gu Nan also felt deeply, although he didn't have a strong reaction like the little fat man, he was just as uncomfortable.
Directly in front of the flying boat, a pitch-black line appeared where the sea and the sky met. As the ship approached, the lines began to twist, bend, and quickly enlarge. It's the land they've lost for a long time. Large and small reefs are scattered and dotted, with bare mountains winding. Fishing boats and nets are laid out along the beach, and there is a fishing village not far from the beach.
"Let's lower the flying boat, it's not far from the land here, there shouldn't be any fierce beasts" Gu Nan was a little worried, one was worried that it would frighten the villagers of the fishing village, and the other was that there were cultivators in this fishing village who would be able to see the wonder of this flying boat, and it would cause unnecessary trouble at that time.
Chubby also saw Gu Nan's concerns, and then nodded. This is the Northern Luzhou region, but it is not a place such as the bitter cold of the Far North. The folk customs here are not as simple and simple as the Xue clan, because there are too many temptations and interference factors from the outside world.
The flying boat headed towards the fishing village on the sea, breaking the waves like an arrow from a string. When you get close to the fishing village about 300 zhang, you start to slow down and follow the waves.
The distance of hundreds of zhang, even if it follows the waves, is only less than a stick of incense. Gu Nan and the little fat man stood in the flying boat, looking at the beach from afar, and there seemed to be a smell of earth in the air.
The waves crash against the sand, washing the sand grains clean and loose, leaving clear footprints when you step on them. On a reef on the beach, a young woman is sitting on it, a pair of ** jade feet are washed by the sea, she is carefully feeling the coolness brought by the sea.
