Chapter 280: The Emperor
The black clouds pressed against the seawater, making the originally blue sea water seem like ink at the moment.
Even an old fisherman like an old fisherman who has been fishing for many years is very stunned when he sees this scene, he has not encountered wind and waves when he goes to sea, but what he sees now is really the first time in decades!
After a short while, the old fisherman came to his senses, and he turned his head and shouted, "Cut the nets and turn around immediately!"
The sound was so loud that the smoking gun in his hand was shaken, and a lot of tobacco leaves were scattered!
Fishermen in order to prevent too many fish from getting off the net, under normal circumstances, are tied to the side of the boat, now the fishing net is cast, no more than no less in the fishing net must be some fish, now the wind and waves are coming, it is too late to collect the net, if you rub again, it is estimated that this wave to the front, whether it is a person or a fish, will be buried in the sea.
The fishermen on the boat are all veterans, so naturally they will not make a move to die for the sake of some fish, and after the old fisherman yelled, he immediately made a decision, took out the dagger in his arms, and cut the fishing net.
Then some fishermen hurriedly pulled the sails and tried to turn the bow of the boat.
Ge Youyu looked at the sea in the distance with an ugly face, just like that, his whole face turned white, he had been out to sea for a few years, and the biggest wind and wave he had ever seen was just caused by a strong wind, when he tied himself to the boat with a rope, but when the wind and waves came, he was almost thrown out, and when he survived the wind and waves, his body was full of bruises, and his body was like falling apart.
When I went back that day, my father, who had never had a good appetite, ate a whole pickled fish, and he didn't speak, but he always ate a lot anyway.
After eating, the two fathers and sons sat in front of the door, and the man, who had not talked much in his life, turned his head and said to him, so that he would not go to sea in the future, and when he died, he would think about this matter again.
At that time, the teenager just shook his head and did not speak.
His father looked at him seriously and said: "Do you know, the best fishermen in the world will have times when they see the wrong time, and it is inevitable to encounter sea waves, once they meet, it is useless to use any tricks, whether they can come back alive or not, it all depends on whether God wants your life!"
At that time, he was reluctant to say that he would never go to sea from now on, because he wanted to study hard for a few years, and when he grew up, he would be able to replace his father.
It's good for him to face the wind and waves alone and let his father stay at home.
And his father, what he was thinking at the time, was that if the two fathers and sons were on the boat, one day they encountered a storm and waves, and the two of them would be gone.
It is better to die one than two.
As for this, he wants to practice swords, in fact, there is also a reason for this, that is, fishing is such a thing, his father will do it after his grandfather does it, and then his son will do it after he does it, and he will be a fisherman for generations, so he will rely on God for food.
If one day God doesn't have a good temper and kicks over the rice bowl, there will be no food left.
After practicing the sword, not only does their family no longer have to go to sea, but even the children and grandchildren behind them will not be able to.
But I didn't expect that there seemed to be no hope at this time.
Even if that good-looking boy brother is a legendary immortal and has some skills, can he still fly in the face of such a big storm?
In a trance, a swarthy man with a pale face came over with two bulging things, first stuffed one in Zhou Zhou's arms, and then the other pressed on Ge Youyu's stomach, and then tied him tightly with hemp rope.
Seeing this thing, of course the boy knew, it was a gourd that had been roasted with fire, very hard, and the outside had been sewn with rags, as long as he held this thing tightly, it would not sink.
It's just that gourds like this are very rare, so there are few in an entire fishing village, and there are more than a dozen people on this boat, but there are only two.
When he encountered the waves, he took them and gave them to the two children.
This is the tacit rule of the fishermen, when encountering the waves, the old ones die first, and the young ones live first.
The swarthy man said as he moved his hands: "You have a good water nature, remember to hold Xiaozhou, don't stay at sea for a long time, swim to the shore early, there are man-eating fish in the water, don't get hurt, the fish smells fishy, you can't run away." ”
The young man looked at his father with tears in his eyes, choked up until he couldn't speak.
The swarthy man pulled out a smile that wasn't ugly, "If you can go back, remember to help your mother more in the future, don't go to sea in the future, find another errand to do, after all, I can't let your mother worry about it all day long." ”
After saying this, the swarthy man tightened the rope, then turned around and tied the gourd for Zhou Zhou, and instructed while tying it: "Xiaozhou, when the time comes, I will follow you Brother Yu, and if he takes you, you can't die." ”
After tying up, the swarthy man glanced at the two children, originally, he wanted to tie these two people together, but after thinking about it, if something happened to Zhouzhou later, it would become a drag on Ge Youyu, so forget it.
He had already given him the gourd, and told his son to remember to take him, and if he really couldn't wait a while, he couldn't let his son die with him.
Of course, he has some selfish intentions, but at this time, it is actually very good.
There are kindness and selfishness, this is the ordinary people, if there is only kindness and no selfishness, probably they are really saints.
Gu Luo was in the distance, taking in all this, and then looked at the waves that were already approaching.
Even if the old fishermen had reacted quickly enough, the waves were coming so fast that there was not much chance of escape.
After all, human power cannot fight against the power of heaven and earth.
The old fisherman looked depressed, turned his head to look at Gu Ming, as if his face was full of wrinkles and apologies, "Gu Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I took you a lot of silver, but I also gave you a life." ”
"It's not necessarily dead, it's too early to say that. ”
Gu Meng exhaled a breath of turbidity and said with a smile: "It's not a desperate situation, don't give up." ”
The old fisherman shook his head, looked at the sea, and said with emotion: "The old man has been fishing all his life, and he has never seen such a big wave, no way, really no way." ”
Gu Meng looked light, but in fact, he was very unsure, this wave was too big, of course he could be safe and sound, and it was not difficult to leave even with two people, but as soon as he left, then the rest of the people would definitely die here.
But if he didn't go and survived in the waves, he would still feel that it was not a problem, but I am afraid that there would be no way to save the fishing boat.
However, after a short period of thought, Gu Meng had already made a decision.
But before he can make a move, he has a question to ask.
Gu Meng asked seriously word by word: "That emperor who is no longer the emperor, if you do your best to protect your people, even if you fail, will you not blame him?"
The old fisherman was stunned, but still replied: "That didn't say, in fact, as long as the emperor has us in his heart, how can you ask for so much for other things?"
Gu Meng nodded and said with a smile: "It's not much, such a little thing, where is it." ”
Before the words fell, the candle in Gu Ming's hand had already appeared, and he didn't look back, he fell on the sea, his clothes flew up, fluttering like a fairy.
Looking at the waves, which were no more than ten feet away, Gu Meng said to himself: "How can you be indifferent?"
As the sword qi circulated in the qi mansion, the candle in his hand swam, and the sword body became all blue, since it was on the sea, there was no better sword trick than the Chaosheng sword technique.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air in his chest, Gu Meng grinned and swept forward on the sea.
On the fishing boat behind, all the fishermen's eyes widened.
What's going on, that Gu Gongzi, who looks better than the best-looking girl in the city, is not an ordinary person, he can run so fast?
Zhou Zhou jumped up with cheers, "Okay, okay, you don't have to die, Brother Gu is very powerful." ”
Ge Youyu looked at the sea suspiciously, although he was not so excited, but he also had some expectations.
Perhaps, you really don't have to die.
On the sea over there, Gu Meng was a few zhang high waves that were rolled up, which was already less than a few zhang.
I didn't feel it from a distance, but when I got to my eyes, I realized that these waves several feet high looked extremely magnificent, and Gu Meng smiled to himself: "There are not many people who look at the tide like this." ”
The waves didn't laugh with him, and soon rolled up in front of him, Gu Meng gritted his teeth, and handed out a sword in his hand, and countless sword qi poured out from the sword, but it didn't spread out, but like an awl, it surged towards the waves.
In the Chaosheng sword technique, most of the sword moves are used for defense, but it is okay to fight the enemy normally, but now Gu Ming's realm is not high, if he uses it to deal with this wave, he is afraid that he will be shot away immediately, so he did not choose those defensive sword moves, and picked the most powerful sword move in it, and it is also the only sword move used to kill.
He's going to break the waves, force them back in both directions, and leave an area big enough for the fishing boats to be unharmed.
This is much more proactive than passive defense, and the only uncertainty is not knowing how long this wave is.
How long can this sword last.
But Gu Ming, I can't care about so much at this moment.
Reasonable, this fishing boat, he must save it!
Before the waves, the sword really begins.
The sword qi surged towards the waves, and as soon as it came into contact, the waves in front of him were forced to be forced away for a few feet, Gu Ming's face remained unchanged, his body kept sweeping forward, and the sword qi became thicker and stronger.
By the time they had moved a few feet forward, the area left behind by the waves forced by the sword qi was enough for the fishing boat to be safe and sound.
It's just that when the waves go in both directions, in an instant, they get higher.
And because of the huge power of this heaven and earth, every step that Gu Meng took from then on, it would take a lot of effort!
After a while, Gu Luo was already a bead of sweat on his forehead.
A few feet further on, I was soaking wet.
Gu Meng gritted his teeth and was silent.
The turquoise sword qi and the sea water are exactly the same, and they are already intertwined, making it difficult to tell which is the sword qi and which is the sea water.
Gu Meng felt incomparable resistance, and after dozens of zhang, the whole person's wrist was already extremely painful, and soon his arm was also sore, and the consumption of sword qi was even greater.
Struggling to survive in the waves that I don't know how far away is the biggest problem.
Because who doesn't know where the end is.
When the time comes, even Gu Luo may be in some danger.
However, Gu Meng had already chosen, so he would not give up.
Looking at the waves in front of him, Gu Meng gritted his teeth and tightened the sword in his hand.
......
......
Above the sea, a white cloud was far above the waves.
On the white clouds, there were two people standing on it.
One was dressed in white, like an ordinary scholar, and the other was tall, with some red hair, like fire.
These two people are none other than Emperor Ning Qi and Chifa who traveled from the East China Sea to the South China Sea.
Standing above the white clouds, I could clearly see the young man who kept drawing his sword in the waves.
There was some special emotion in Chifa's eyes, but he couldn't see what it was, he didn't speak, but he also knew that it was definitely not a coincidence that he saw Gu Meng again this time.
Emperor Ning Qi turned to look at the fishing boat in the distance, shook his head and said, "For such a boatload of people, you have to gamble with your own life, such a son and grandson, do you still think he is good?"
Chifa smiled and said: "For the sake of the lives of his own people, the minister thinks that he is very much like Your Majesty, Your Majesty fought overseas barbarians, northern thieves, isn't it also for the subjects of Daning?"
In fact, no matter what Emperor Ning Qi thought at the beginning, was it because he had a responsibility or something else, as long as the ending was like this, that is.
Emperor Ning Qi said: "Speaking of which, all of my sons were good at calculations back then, and they thought about protecting themselves first, and no one was as stupid as him?
This Emperor of the Ages spoke without any emotion, whether it was praise or ridicule, as if he was just stating something that had nothing to do with him.
It was rare for the red hair to say more, "No matter what, the minister still thinks he is very good, if it was a thousand years ago, the minister would even dare to make a statement to His Majesty, and let His Majesty make him the crown prince." ”
Emperor Ning Qi was puzzled: "A thousand years ago, if he was the crown prince, he would be able to fight the human spirit of the Manchu Dynasty?"
Any prosperous dynasty, any virtuous monarch, any prosperous era, the courtiers who can stand firm, especially the courtiers who can gain a foothold in the capital of a dynasty, are all first-class people, and they really can't fight them.
So being a good monarch is never so easy.
The red hair smiled: "It's still young, if Your Majesty is willing to polish more, he can maintain this nature, it's really good, but now it's just talking, not back then." ”
Emperor Ning Qi smiled silently.
This thousand-year-old emperor, who can be said to be the most calculating and the greatest, I don't know what such a young man would think, especially that young man, or his only descendant in the world.
Red Hair suddenly asked, "Do you want to help him?"
Emperor Ning Qi said, "I didn't come here to help this little guy. ”
The red hair opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Emperor Ning Qi said again: "But if you are willing, I will not stop you." ”
The red hair answered, said that the minister retired, and his figure disappeared in a flash, and he disappeared without a trace.
As a courtier, there are some things that you can naturally know at a glance.
This couldn't be more familiar.
After the red-haired figure dissipated, Emperor Ning Qi fell from the white clouds and fell to the sea, he walked slowly on the sea, and he didn't even feel a little ripple.
You know, under the influence of the waves, this sea area is certainly not calm.
He kept walking slowly on the sea, and it was about half an hour before he stopped on a sea, as he said, he didn't come here for Gu Ming.
He is not the kind of person who is willing to take his descendants to heart, in other words, he is such a person, even his own son can kill if he says to kill, how can he care about a descendant who does not have much blood connection with him?
In his heart, probably in the world, there are only three kinds of people, one kind of people he regards as strangers, and the other kind of people he regards as chess pieces.
Only the last category of people will he have some appreciation.
Which kind of person Gu Luo counts among these three kinds of people, Emperor Ning Qi didn't think about it for the time being.
Standing still on the sea, he took out a small golden figure from his bosom and threw it into the sea.
The little golden man that could have been held in the palm of his hand fell into the sea, sinking all the way, and then growing bigger, and when he was about to fall to the bottom of the sea, he had become as tall as a person.
But it didn't stop for a while, and after it had gained a foothold at the bottom of the sea, the little golden figure continued to grow in size until it was several feet high, and then stopped.
Now the size of this golden man is exactly the same as after it was built.
......
......
The red hair quietly appeared at the back of the waves, and after a glance at the sea, he waved his hand calmly, and a majestic qi machine quickly gushed out, suppressing the waves directly.
The sea was instantly calm.
He turned his head and glanced at the distance, and saw that Gu Meng was still dozens of zhang away from here, so he nodded, such a distance, it was okay to come to Gu Ming.
So his body dissipated and returned to the white clouds.
Emperor Ning Qi had already returned.
Emperor Ning Qi glanced at the sea and asked, "Didn't let him see it?"
Chifa smiled and said: "Although the minister is not as good as Your Majesty, it is not something he can see." ”
Emperor Ning Qi nodded and said calmly, "Let's go." ”
Red hair asked, "Where is Your Majesty going this time?"
Emperor Ning Qi said: "Go to Beihai, that ice and snow, it is probably not a good place to go. ”
......
......
Gu Meng gritted his teeth and walked forward for dozens of feet, his wrist was already red and swollen, and his arm was almost unconscious, but at this moment, it was as if a sword had pierced something.
When he looked up, the sea in front of him was calm and calm, and there were no waves.
He paused, breathing a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, I felt weak, and I rolled into the sea.
As the sea sinks.
Countless swimming fish swam past him, and Gu Meng opened his eyes, looking at these fish, and also at the scene in the sea.
The sea is not the same as the land.
Naturally, there is something to see.
As he slowly sank, Gu Meng saw a lot of things, some tattered fishing nets, and some fish bones hanging on them, thinking that they were accidentally touching the swimming fish, and in the end they didn't break free until they died.
He saw a large fish in the bottom of the sea in the distance, already dead, and countless small fish were gnawing at its corpse.
It is normal for the big fish to eat the small fish, and the small fish to eat the shrimp, but when the big fish die, it is the belly of these small fish and shrimp.
It's a cycle, and it's a law of nature, whether it's a fish or a person.
Suddenly, Gu Ming's strength returned to his body, he spit out the seawater in his mouth, closed his mouth, and the whole person began to float towards the sea.
A big fish in the distance was several zhang long, and when it looked at the sinking Gu Ming, it wanted to take a bite, but when Gu Luo resurfaced towards the sea, it sensed the danger and quickly swam away.
That's what they do.
It didn't take long for Gu Meng to float from the sea to the surface of the sea, he exhaled a big mouthful of turbid air and wiped his face.
Looking at the sea, Gu Meng was extremely tired, but also extremely happy.
At this moment, although there is no qi left in the Qi Mansion, it will not die here.
I don't know why, after killing so many cannibalistic Taoist priests before and now after slashing back the storm, Gu Meng will feel very comfortable.
Somewhat cozy.
As if he was born to do something like this.
......
......
On the sea, the fishermen on the fishing boat watched Gu Meng cut the waves with one sword, and the remaining waves roared on both sides of the fishing boat, which was quite spectacular.
For the whole hour, they watched the waves rush on both sides, but their fishing boat was always unharmed.
The people who escaped death were not only happy, but also shocked.
Of course, it's for Gu Ming.
The young man who cut through the waves with a sword is their great benefactor.
Ge Youyu and Zhou Zhou untied the gourd on their bodies and looked at the sea, Ge Youyu suddenly said to the swarthy man on the side: "Dad, I want to learn swords with Gu Shenxian!"
The swarthy man turned his head to look at him, and said with some hesitation: "Gu ...... If the gods are willing, of course they can, but I'm afraid that you are not this material, and people will not look down on you. ”
The young man said resolutely: "I must go to learn swords, and I will not be afraid of this kind of thing in the future!"
The swarthy man's eyes were a little relieved, but he was still a little worried.
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Gu is not only powerful, but also a very good person!"
On deck, the old fisherman leaned against the boat, his hand holding the cigarette gun trembling slightly, and he remembered something only then.
It was the one who left the fishing village before that after he went south and north, he knew a lot of things, and when he came back, he said one thing, saying that it was their emperor master, after he was captured, he didn't die.
Not only did he not die, but he also went to practice and became a god on the mountain, and I heard that he is very famous now!
What's more, he also said that the emperor was born very good-looking.
At that time, the old fisherman asked how good-looking he was, and the later life said that as long as he saw him, he would definitely think that he was the best-looking person in the world.
At that time, the old fishermen will be skeptical.
At this moment, I remembered the words that Gu Meng said before getting off the boat.
The old fisherman is not stupid, although he is short-sighted, but he is really not a stupid person, thinking of those words, he understands, it turns out that Gu Meng is their emperor master.
It's true!
The old fisherman knelt on the deck, kept kowtowing to the sea, and muttered in his mouth: "Long live the emperor, long live, you...... You really haven't forgotten us!"
