Chapter 19: The End of the Sky and the Corner of the Sea
The foggy sea area lingers all year round, and even at noon, it is a black eye, losing a sense of direction, and getting lost in it.
It's a vast labyrinth of the sea, trapped in it by all the creatures that dare to challenge it. There are all kinds of strange beings inside, magical vines and giant trees, magnificent flowers, huge mice, misty elves, and unbelievable lives beyond people's imagination.
Legend has it that there is also an Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion in the Misty Sea, which contains great treasures, but no one dares to dig into it. Even the most experienced navigator is doomed when he gets inside.
Zhou Sheng used great power to penetrate this sea area, and broke through ten thousand laws with his strength, no matter what illusion or enchantment, he was penetrated.
After passing through the misty sea, a different breath came to his face.
The water is still that kind of water, and it is still blue in the distance, but Zhou Sheng understands that the easternmost part of Shijie has arrived. The Misty Sea is more like a barrier that separates the main continent from here.
"Go"
He stepped on the surface of the waves, and he hurried forward, setting off a long wave on the water.
......
......
"Shijie's East, so that's it!"
Zhou Sheng floated on the water, looking at a continental plate not far away. The legendary Cape of the End of the Sea is a huge reef, or a smaller piece of land.
The reef is the size of a dozen large states, and most of it is barren with only a few population centers. With a total population of less than 200,000, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and this is the scene of the end of the sky.
"This is the Cape of the Sea......
Zhou Sheng's heart gave birth to a touch of pride and changes in the world. There is also a feeling of tears. Indescribable feeling. It's just that the taste is not right in my heart.
Zhou Shangnian swept and found that there were at least several sages squatting on it, one of which he was somewhat familiar with, and with a light sigh, he landed there.
......
This is an endless pile of rocks, and as far as the eye can see, there are no plants more than a meter long, and sparse shrubs and nests of wild grass are the main scenery.
The weeds gathered in piles. It's like a farmer digging a nest and planting a few seeds, and the seeds sprout and huddle together.
The poor soil is not suitable for growing crops at all, and the soil layer of less than half a meter is mostly formed by the accumulation of rocks. There is no water source in the ground, because it is not the crust, it is just a big rock.
The farmers in front of them carried the soil that they had painstakingly collected from the ground, carefully laid it on the haode rocks, and sprinkled them one by one. Lay out the soil and flatten it so that it will not be swept away by the strong winds. Point out the beans. Each grain is carefully clicked into the nest with your fingers, and then watered with a small kettle......
Food. Water is a big problem.
There is no groundwater, so you can only drink rainwater from the lake, and when it comes to the dry season, it is difficult to drink rainwater.
Gobi!
Yes, this is the Gobi Desert.
The most important thing in the gravel is the scorpion, which is also one of the few meats that people eat here, and it is difficult to eat hares in such a desolate place. The scorpion tastes good, cut off the poisonous needle on the tail and fry it in oil.
I took a breath of air, and there was a special smell in the air, different from the taste of the main continent.
"The wind is up, the sky is cloudy~~"
"It's raining, go home and collect your clothes!"
The busy peasant suddenly threw down the farm tools in his hand, took nothing, and ran to a house built of black stone not far away, and took back all the dried peppers and lentils dried on the window, and took all the catties of soybeans in the dustpan.
Zhou Sheng looked up at the clear sky and wondered in confusion, but then he felt that the concentration of water vapor in the air increased greatly, and dark clouds gathered from afar, and it began to rain in an uproar. This process took less than three minutes, from the beginning of the gathering of dark clouds to the onset of heavy rain.
The weather is changing.
"Strange, this is not normal."
Zhou Sheng looked at the place where the dark clouds came, and saw that there was a stone mountain more than ten kilometers away from here, and there was a big green toad in the stone mountain that was sleeping soundly, and at this moment every day, it had to wake up and yawn a few times, and the dark cloud was its spitting saliva.
This toad looks very pleasant, much more haode than the old toad, turquoise like a jewel, crystal clear.
"Interesting, this toad is also a different species, I don't know how many years it will take to grow so big, I don't know what the taste of toad soup is?"
Zhou Sheng muttered a few words and entered the stockade.
......
There was no wall in the whole village, because there were no terrible beasts on the rocky beach to attack the village, and the big beasts did not have enough food here and would starve to death sooner or later, unless it was a xenomorph like the toad.
The rain stopped after a few breaths, but the lake in the center of the village was a few centimeters high, and it was a place of joy for the indigenous people.
......
Zhou Sheng walked on the streets full of stones, and several indigenous people came over to talk about it, and Zhou Sheng spread his hands, indicating that he did not understand what they were saying.
The language is not the common language of the main continent at all, and the pronunciation is also different, and when I saw them touch their mouths up and down, a large number of words that did not know the meaning were spit out.
"Yours, what you say, I don't understand!"
Zhou Sheng didn't have this kind of language stored in the language library in his mind at all, even if he learned it now, he would be able to understand the basic words, just a few words was like understanding a language, it was pure fantasy. Of course, he can also use the spirit to transmit, so that he can cross the boundaries of language and race, but now he doesn't have to do it at all, it's too much less fun.
When several indigenous residents heard Zhou Sheng's words, they couldn't understand it, and looked him up and down a few times, and they were also dressed strangely, so they dragged him into the village and walked to a clean stone house.
A thirty-year-old woman in an apron walked out, and the natives spoke to her. Then the woman said in fluent Chinese dialect: "Hello, guest from afar, if I remember correctly, little one, we haven't seen each other for almost two months......
Zhou Sheng haha smiled, "Heavenly Fox Sage, you are a guest from afar, in this foreign land, it is rare to meet a fellow villager, don't you invite me to have a few drinks and reminisce about the old days?"
"Come on~~"
After a few words with the natives, the woman turned and went back to the house.
......
In a clean and simple room, two urchins of six or seven years old were playing, they were wearing linen coats, their skin was a little dark, and their big eyes were bright.
On the wooden pier sat a middle-aged man in his thirties, carefully carving woodcuts, and the foals and orangutans were vivid in his hands.
The woman touched the heads of the two children dotingly and told them to go out and play.
The man glanced up, then greeted him warmly, spoke a broken Chinese dialect, and brought out the most delicious food in the house to entertain the guests. A plate of fried scorpions, dry-fried small yellow croaker, the staple food is a rhizome called goat milk, goat milk is a vine, the rhizome is rich in starch, can be eaten.
There was no liquor, because there was no fruit and grain to make wine here, only a tea made from bush leaves, which tasted somewhat strange.
Zhou Sheng took a bite of the scorpion, looked up at the gentle woman, and had a strong sense of illusion.
"Are you really a Heavenly Fox Sage?"
"What, you don't know me anymore?"
"No, it's just hard to imagine meeting in this situation, it's your husband and son?"
"Hmm!"
It was hard for Zhou Sheng to imagine that a sage would marry an ordinary person like this, they had a long life, there was no need to do so, even if they wanted to comprehend reincarnation, they didn't have to fall into it themselves.
The couple lived happily ever after, and their two sons were smart. Zhou Sheng picked several baskets of wild grapes, bayberry, bananas and other fruits from several islands in the space bag and gave them to the two boys.
The child, who had never seen such a delicious fruit before, immediately had a round belly.
After being a guest here for two days, talking a lot about customs and customs, the woman kept nagging about planting sweet potatoes or beans this year, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she asked Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng frowned and thought for a long time before he said earnestly: "Grow sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes have a large yield......
Three days later, Zhou Sheng took his leave and left, using this time to learn the indigenous language of the area.
After walking through a few settlements, I finally came to the easternmost part of the end of the sky, and it is also the easternmost point of the entire Shijie.
The land of the far east is full of auspiciousness. (To be continued......)
