383 Experiences at sea
The green mist suddenly dispersed, revealing brilliant sunshine and a gentle breeze, and the traumatized Jinwu Mountain finally flew out of the mist and descended into the wilderness. This made the passengers on Jinwu Mountain cheer, the dead monk died unlucky on the road, and the surviving monk was lucky to live to the end. Although the starting point is the same, the end point is very different.
The Boundary Monument of the Savage Realm is in a city, or the city is built around the Boundary Monument, and the busy transportation hub always creates a bustling city, and this rule also applies in the Misty World.
When the Golden Crow Mountain appeared, a few clear birdsong also sounded, and a few Golden Crows flew in the sky, and landed directly on the Golden Crow Mountain, which was the local Golden Crow to welcome the clansmen who came from afar.
The golden crows were greeted by relatives, and the rest of them could only silently descend the mountain and leave here. Zhang Cundao also took Fengwu and the others out of Jinwu Mountain and came to Longjin City below.
This Longjin City was built on an isolated island, to be precise, this boundary monument is on this isolated island. The island is oval in shape, eighty li at its widest point and thirty li at its narrowest point. The middle of the isolated island is raised, a hundred feet above the sea, and the boundary monument is at the highest peak.
The traffic in Longjin City is busy, there are monks flying around in the sky all the time, and there are huge ships passing on the sea, although it is prosperous here, everyone is in a hurry, and it seems that the city is extremely impetuous.
Everyone went down to Jinwu Mountain, and those who were prepared either went to take a boat or flew away by themselves. And unprepared people, such as Zhang Cundao, can only stand on the street in a daze.
At this time, Zhang Cundao saw that Bin Quansheng was talking to a few people, and seeing that they were talking happily, it was estimated that someone from the Sword God Sect came to pick him up. Bin Quansheng also saw Zhang Cundao, he nodded to Zhang Cundao from a distance, and then followed those people.
Zhang Cundao and the others were stunned on the street for a while, and then Zhang Cundao said, "Okay, let's find a place to settle down first." He pondered for a moment, and then said: "This barbarian realm has a vast area, and there are many degrees in China, among which the Great Tang Kingdom is the most powerful. Why don't we go to Datang Kingdom to settle down, so that it will be more convenient to inquire about the news. ”
Everyone nodded, they were all people who had never been far away and had no ideas, so they naturally looked forward to Zhang Cundao's words.
So, Zhang Cundao inquired and knew that there would soon be a ship going to Quanzhou City in the Tang Kingdom, and if they set off now, they would be able to keep up with this ship. Zhang Cundao didn't have a lake, and hurriedly led everyone to the port, and saw a big ship untying the rope and about to set sail.
"May I ask if this is a boat to Quanzhou City in the Tang Kingdom?" Zhang Cundao hurriedly asked the sailor who untied the rope.
The sailor nodded and said, "Exactly, are you going to Quanzhou City?" It's still time to catch up. A quarter of an hour later we'll be gone. ”
There was nothing to say, Zhang Cundao and they hurriedly got on the boat, and then after paying a sum of fare, they were considered to have boarded the big boat. This big ship is called Yuanfu, but it is actually a cargo ship, which mainly travels between Quanzhou City and Longjin City, transporting materials and making money. This pulls people just by the way.
It's not that Zhang Cundao doesn't want to fly to the Tang Kingdom, it's just that he is not familiar with the place when he first comes to this world, and he doesn't know where the Tang Kingdom is, so following the boat is the best choice.
The big ship slowly sailed away from the port, and there seemed to be a wave pushing the big ship. Dingyuan looked at the big ship carefully, and suddenly said to Zhang Cundao: "This ship has neither sails, nor chimneys, nor oars, what kind of power does it rely on?" ”
As soon as she said this, Zhang Cundao was also a little curious, could it be that this ship has a formation and relies on the formation to pass? However, he thought about it, this ship was mostly carrying materials used by mortals, and if he used the magic circle to drive it, the resources consumed would not be able to make ends meet.
Just when Zhang Cundao was curious, the ship arrived outside the port, and then Zhang Cundao saw the captain come to the side of the ship with a few sailors. The sailors carried several trays with some gemstones such as pearl agate in the trays. Then the captain gave the order, and the sailors poured the pearl agate into the sea.
In the next second, the waves swelled in front of the big ship, and several blue-gray heads emerged from the sea.
"Boss, do you want to go to Quanzhou? Do you think I'm not hit? A blue-gray head shouted.
The other big heads didn't say anything at this time, just grinning and looking at the captain.
The captain looked at the person who spoke, then nodded and said, "Yes, you can't take this job?" ”
"Medium! I took it! The big head smiled and said immediately. When the other heads heard this, they didn't say anything, and they dived into the water and disappeared.
After a while, the waves began to surge again. I saw a huge whale float up, its body tied with a thick hemp rope, and the blue-gray man on its back. At this time, the blue-gray man also revealed his figure, he was about three feet tall, his whole body was blue-gray, and his hands and feet were webbed. I saw him take the hemp rope from the whale and tie it to the boat, and then shouted, and the big whale swam and pulled the big boat to move.
Seeing this, Zhang Cundao finally understood what power the ship relied on. He looked interesting, so he stretched out his hand to beckon the sailor and asked, "Little brother, let me ask, what's going on?" ”
The sailor knew that Zhang Cundao was a ship from Longjin City, and most of them were outsiders who had just arrived in this world, so he smiled and said: "My lord doesn't know, this is an alien, their clan is a famous sea coachman, they control giant whales, and they specialize in pulling boats on the sea. The sea conditions in the Barbarian Realm are changeable and the road is complicated, and it is very dangerous to not have them to lead the way. ”
Zhang Cundao nodded, and then asked curiously, "What are these strangers called?" ”
"Oh, they're called River Blues. Because the skin is blue. ”
Well, the sea coachman river blue man...... The race that controls giant whales usually makes a living by pulling boats.
The sea of the Savage Realm is not an ordinary sea, and the sea here is either windless and waveless, or hurricane and terrifying. When there is no wind and no waves, it is really no wind at all, there are no waves at all, the whole sea is like a mirror, and the ship cannot move against the sails at all.
And when there is wind, it is hurricanes and waves, the waves can be as high as several feet, and hurricanes can overturn large ships. In this case, it is useless to have sails.
If you don't rely on the sail and use other power, then the next thing to consider is the direction. There are stars in the Savage Realm, but these stars are often running around and cannot be located in astrological signs at all. If you don't rely on the stars, then what positioning do you have to rely on on the endless sea?
Finally, there are still countless dangers on this sea, and if you rush into the dangerous sea, people will die, and ships will enter and capsize.
But as long as there is a sea coachman pulling the boat, then it will be much better. The River Blue are ocean aliens who have a knack for spotting storms and know how to dodge them. And the giant whale pulling the boat can provide power, and the river blue man is the head snake in the sea, so he can also avoid many dangers. These advantages make them the most important transportation force in the sea.
For example, yesterday, the river blue man suddenly turned the head of the fish and swam in the other direction. Then the captain asked him why he had taken a detour, and the river blue man said that there was a storm. Sure enough, two hours later, a great storm broke out behind the side, and the majesty of the wind stretched for hundreds of miles.
The people of Helan are not only escorted, they are actually quite good at doing business. Still yesterday, after escaping the storm, the river blue man suddenly shouted: "Boss! There is a rainbow after the storm, do you want to see it? ”
The captain twitched his cheeks, waved his hand and said, "If you don't go to join in the fun, you can just hurry with peace of mind." ”
However, the passengers on the ship were a little curious, so they asked, "It's getting dark, why is there a rainbow?" You're not lying to us, are you? ”
The river blue man smiled and said, "My mother said, let me not deceive people, I never deceive people." ”
When he heard this, the passenger said, "In that case, take us to see it." ”
When Helan heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay boss, but this has to add money." ”
The passenger who spoke was stunned, but then he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give you money, and if it's good-looking, I'll have a reward!" With that, the merchant took a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg from his bosom and threw it away.
This pearl is like gravel to the huge river blue man, but the river blue man is very happy to take this 'gravel' and then say happily: "The boss is atmospheric! ”
When he had finished speaking, he ignored the captain's objections, and pulled the boat to the place where the storm had occurred. By this time the storm had dispersed, and there was a surging fishy smell in the air, which was the smell of ozone. When the ship arrived, it was almost dark, and everyone was looking forward to seeing the rainbow on the sea.
But I waited for a while, until it was completely dark, and I didn't see half a rainbow hair. The passenger felt a little deceived, and immediately shouted: "Didn't you say there is a rainbow when you pulled the boat?" What about this rainbow? Are you all liars? ”
The stranger smiled and said, "A good meal is not afraid of being late, this rainbow on the sea doesn't look at the sea, but what is in the sky." ”
This slightly mocking remark stunned the passengers, and then someone almost said, "Look at the sea!" ”
So everyone looked down. They saw a scene they would never forget.
Vast expanses of colored light rose from under the sea, at first they were extremely intense, and then they became more and more intense. At first, it was like a light ink, and then it was a heavy makeup, and the colorful lights on the dark sea lit up one after another, and gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Colored bands of light are formed, stretching for more than ten miles on the sea, and if you look closely, this is countless glowing jellyfish swaying in the sea. Some of these jellyfish emit red light, some emit blue light, and some emit green light, and the three lights correspond to each other and merge into various colors, which really seem to be rainbows.
The sea of the savage realm is very violent when it is violent, but when it is romantic, it is very romantic. He is like a perverted domestic violence man, after beating you up in a storm, he will buy flowers and gifts to create romance to coax you.
Because of the special nature of the Savage Sea, these seawaters do not usually blend, only the waves brought by the storm will stir the seawater. At this time, the waves will turn all kinds of materials on the bottom of the sea to the surface, and these jellyfish, which usually feed in the middle and lower layers of the sea, will also chase food and float to the surface together.
A large amount of food gathers a large number of glowing jellyfish, which is why there is a strange spectacle of the 'rainbow on the sea after the storm'.
"Wow! It's beautiful! Feng Wu, Nine-Tailed Fox and Dingyuan said in amazement.
"It's really beautiful, this should be the scenery of 'drunk and ignorant of the sky in the water, full of boats and dreams to press the galaxy'." Zhang Cundao also sighed.
As soon as his poem came out, the three girls were silent for a while, and the difference between culture and culture was reflected......
The beauty lasted for more than half an hour, and as the food on the surface of the sea slowly sank to the bottom, the jellyfish also chased the food and dived underwater. The brilliant brilliance slowly disappeared into the water, like a dream slowly waking up. Finally, when the last glimmer of brilliance disappeared, everyone felt a sense of loss.
At this time, the river blue talent commanded the giant whale to continue to advance.
The big boat traveled for another three or five days, and on this day, the river blue man controlled the giant whale and stopped. He even untied the hemp rope from the giant whale and let the giant whale go to the sea to hunt for food. The captain asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Why don't you go? ”
The river blue man looked into the distance and said, "The Sea Dragon King is traveling, this is not passable." ”
The captain's face changed when he heard this, and then he waved his hand and motioned for the river blue people to have a good rest, and he went to rest himself. Zhang Cundao was a little curious, so he beckoned the sailor again and asked, "What does this Sea Dragon King mean?" ”
The sailor said with some fear, "This Sea Dragon King is the name of the dragon of the sea and the Dao of the sea. Every time he travels, he takes a lot of goblins with him, and he can't even collide with them. If you want to be safe, you have to wait for the Sea Dragon King to swim through the area. I guess I'll have to wait three to five days. ”
It turned out to be the Yundao Giant Demon, no wonder they were so nervous. This ship is an ordinary ship in the final analysis, even if there are monks on board, it will not exceed the Divine Light Realm, so naturally it does not dare to provoke the Yundao Giant Demon.
After figuring it out, Zhang Cundao didn't bother to meddle. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, just waited.
After waiting for three days, the river blue man seemed to have received some news, and he quickly recalled his giant whale, and then put on a hemp rope to let the giant whale swim quickly. This time he urged very quickly, and the giant whale did not retain his strength, and swam quickly. It seems that he is very desperate to get through this place.
After a day of high-intensity swimming, the whale was too tired to move at night. The river blue man untied the hemp rope again to let the giant whale regain his strength, and he also relaxed at once. It seems that this danger has passed.
Just like that, on the thirteenth day, a huge land appeared, and the port of Quanzhou arrived!
Quanzhou City, also known as Quanzhou Port, is a port city and one of the thirteen port cities opened by the Tang Kingdom. This does not mean that the Tang Kingdom is closed to the rest of the country, but because other places are dangerous in the sea, either entrenched by goblins, or there are many undercurrents. Only when these thirteen ports are guarded by the Tang Kingdom can trade safely.
When they were almost at the port, the river blues untied the whale and left, and they should not have gone far, but continued to wait nearby.
And Zhang Cundao and the others got off the boat and entered the city after the ship docked.
