Night.

In autumn, the sea breeze blows to the shore. Yang Ming and Xiao Se were lying on the roof of the courtyard, looking at the four people talking and laughing below, Yang Ming had a feeling:

"The night of the heavenly steps is as cold as water, lying down and watching the morning glory Vega."

"You're comfortable." Xiao Se patted Yang Ming in fear: "Hey, what's going on with that old man?"

Yang Ming shrugged his body and said, "What else can I do, this person went to the far sea without a walk."

"Huh?" Xiao Se was taken aback, and then he quickly analyzed what Yang Ming had said earlier, and said thoughtfully: "You said that those two fish can only be caught in the deep sea, then there is no doubt that he has indeed gone to the open sea."

Then, Xiao Se looked at Yang Ming suspiciously, "It's just, how did you know about those two kinds of fish? Could it be that you've been to the deep sea too?"

"I said no, do you believe it?" Yang Ming slowly stood up, looking at Xiao Se still with that suspicious expression, Yang Ming pursed his lips: "You don't believe it, it's better not to say it."

"Alright, the man has arrived." Xiao Se was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Ming.

On the roof, the man was dressed in black and stood straight beside Yang Ming.

Twilight Yumo, who was eating fish below, noticed movement on the roof, and her eyes were also cast.

"It's okay, it's my date. Keep eating and don't let anyone else notice." Yang Ming explained to Twilight Rain in a voice that only he and Twilight Ink could hear.

Twilight nodded and turned her head to continue eating.

"Follow me!" Yang Ming spoke, and his figure jumped into the bamboo forest behind the courtyard.

Xiao Se and the man in black didn't say much, and hurriedly kept up with Yang Ming's pace.

The old man took off the hood on his head and slowly walked towards Yang Ming.

"I didn't expect you to be quite punctual." Yang Ming showed a hint of a smile.

"Don't dare not come." The old man's face was still unwavering.

Then he asked, "Boy, are you not afraid that I will kill you by acting so swaggeringly?"

"Kill me?" Yang Ming laughed, "Your strength is not enough, so... Got it?"

The old man looked at Yang Ming's fearless appearance, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Who are you talking to me on your behalf?" Is it the North Departure Mansion? Or is it some big force?"

"On behalf of myself." Yang Ming replied.

The old man slowly put down the hood in his hand: "If you have anything to say or ask, just ask, if I want to say, I will tell you."

"Yang Ming." Xiao Se glanced at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming smiled faintly, "So, did you go to the deep sea?"

The old man nodded: "I can judge the distance I go to sea by the fish, I have to say that you are indeed a knowledgeable person. Then I'll get straight to the point."

"I want to hear about it." Yang Ming said.

"I'll be honest with you, the fish did have a few nets, and if it weren't for my strength being much greater than that of a normal fisherman, I would have almost missed it. However, after they were caught, their horrible fish kisses killed one of my brothers in a single game." The old man said.

Yang Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't they attack your ship?"

"Attacked, just not fully pierced." The old man said truthfully, he didn't seem to care why Yang Ming asked this.

"Oh?" Xiao Se sneered, he knew very well the power of this sword kiss, it could easily penetrate a big tree, even if the wood at the bottom of the boat was relatively strong, after all, the thickness was there, and the length of the fish kiss was still enough to pierce it.

"Your ship isn't wooden, or rather, it's not all wood." Yang Ming walked up to the old man and stared at his eyes.

"How do you know?" The old man's pupils shrank slightly, and his figure unconsciously took a step back.

Yang Ming put his right hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, speak slowly." As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful internal force erupted from his body, blowing away all the fallen leaves, weeds, and bamboos around him, leaving only a bare patch

land.

"Your strength is above the Escape Realm." The old man was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "I have a wooden plate and an iron plate at the bottom of my boat, and I sandwiched the iron plate between the wooden planks, and then made the hull a little wider."

Yang Ming bowed slightly: "That makes sense. And how did you come up with the idea of taking out the guts of the fish and preserving them with ice?"

The old man said calmly, "Every time I go to the open sea to fish, I don't need ice, and before I reach the shore, the fish have already rotted; As for the removal of the internal organs, I discovered it by chance, and as long as the internal organs are removed, even if there is no ice, the fish will decay much more slowly."

"Then why do you want to go to the open sea?" There was a lot of Yang Ming who spoke, but Xiao Se. It stands to reason that even if a fisherman is in the offshore waters, as long as he spends some time, he can still harvest a lot, but he goes farther into the deep sea, there will be unknown dangers, not to mention, once caught by the government, it is a serious crime.

"Hey~" The old man sighed lightly, he slowly sat down on the stone beside him, "It's ridiculous, old man, I think this world may not be like the 'round sky' as people say by mouth", and I want to explore the truth of this world. A few years ago, Li Yi had the same idea as me, but later, when he went to sea, he was caught by the government."

Hearing this, Xiao Se was slightly startled, and he hurriedly looked at Yang Ming beside him. Because Yang Ming also said something similar.

"Oh, by the way, Li Yi is the inn where you live, the son of the shopkeeper." The old man explained.

The people in the city had basically heard of Li Yi's matter, and even outsiders like Yang Ming had heard of it.

"So, you're also the heir to his legacy?" Yang Ming said.

"Sort of." The old man looked up at the sky, "But when I drove the boat all the way south, the scene I encountered was indeed as the book said, there was no wind or waves, the sail could not rise, and the boat could not move. I drifted there for more than half a month, and finally there was a storm at sea, and I was able to escape, and then I caught those two big fish."

"That's a good explanation." Yang Ming smiled slightly, "You sailed to the equatorial windless zone, where there is no wind all year round, and the boat is naturally not feasible, unless there are a hundred people paddling at the same time."

"There's really no wind there." The old man nodded thoughtfully.

"Equatorial windless zone!?" Xiao Se looked puzzled, it was the first time he had heard this term. "There is no wind to explain, but this equator, what is this?"

"The equator is the middle of this world, the north of the equator is where we are, and the equator is south..." Yang Ming forgot to look at the old man: "Uncle, if you are further south, you should be able to see some islands."

The old man waved his hand: "My name is Changyu, you can call me by my name." Then he asked, "Just, how did you know there were islands to the south?"

"The little student knows astronomy and geography." Yang Ming pretended to be a scholar and talked eloquently. provoked Xiao Se to roll his eyes.

"Xiaosheng has something unclear, and I hope Uncle Zhang will solve his doubts." Yang Ming said.

"What?" Changyu is a little unclear. Just now Yang Ming said that he knew everything, and now he came to ask him again, which made him really a little confused.

"You are a master of the Freedom Realm, whether you are in the rivers and lakes or an official in the court, you will not get mixed into such a field. You also know that after becoming an official, it is very easy to get a line."
