Zhongzhou, Minghai City.

Minghai City is located on the coast of the South China Sea, which belongs to the boundary of southern Fujian. Facing the vast South China Sea. Since the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the tiger was summoned to pacify Huaiyi, and the countries in the South China Sea expressed their submission to the Zhou Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven exercised sovereignty and governed the sea area. No matter which dynasty or generation, the South China Sea has always been a maritime frontier under the rule of the Central Plains. Thousands of miles of snow and waves in the sand crashing on the reef, I don't know how much history has been witnessed.

Minghai City is known as the pearl of the South China Sea, with a rich history and culture, and the world-famous Sizhou Temple is located here. The weather is magnificent, and the incense is flourishing. There is a saying of "one into Sizhou Temple, do not go back", the temple is dedicated to the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva, the virtuous monarchs of the past dynasties have come here to visit, open the water and land puja with a great heart of compassion, raise donations, and relieve the victims of the world.

Xinyuan Residence is a teahouse in Minghai City that has witnessed a century-old history. The name comes from the couplet of 'fragrant Qingyi House, green and pure heart'. The locals of southern Fujian who live in Minghai City drink fragrant tea, brew a pot of tea in the quiet afternoon, and the hot water washes away the green leaves rippling in the cup, stretching the fresh aroma collected in the famous mountains and rivers to fill the room, meditating between the water, and nourishing the mind in the taste.

And just because of a pot of good tea, no matter the elegant and layman, they all meet in this new source residence, and they all gather here to talk about the story of the south and the north of the world, and the red dust and happiness. The four upstairs were full, and the tea guests tasted fragrant tea and ate exquisite snacks. to be able to open the conversation and talk about those days. In the noisy teahouse, a handsome young man slowly walked up the building, revealing an indescribable chic when he moved. It's really a young man with a jade tree in the wind!

Lu Yang saw that there were many guests in the building, so he immediately picked up a clean window seat, the wind outside the window was soothing, and he could see the vast sea in the distance when he raised his eyes, and his heart was open, so he called Dr. Tea to come close and asked him what kind of good tea was here.

"What do you want? We have fragrant tea and snacks here, as well as Fujian fruits. Dr. Tea greeted him with a smile on his face, and he saw that Lu Yang was handsome and extraordinary. Don't dare to slack off immediately. This teahouse brings together visitors from all over the world, the qin is gentle, and the fragrance floats in four seats. It's also an elegant place. He made a generous move, threw a silver ingot to Dr. Tea at random, and said, "A good pot of tea." ”

"A pot of the best Anxi Tieguanyin!" Dr. Tea was overjoyed, and soon brought a pot of good tea and four exquisite snacks. It's pineapple crisp, nougat, green mango, and shakya fruit. The plate is neatly arranged, and when you pour out the cups, you can smell the fragrance of tea. It's really good tea!

"Hey, my old brother, how did you make money when you went to sea this time?" a hearty laugh echoed in the teahouse, and a shipman dressed in a rich silk robe welcomed his old friend to the teahouse. Shoot out the silver taels, and call Dr. Nacha to serve good tea. And his friend who ran the boat was also a wealthy man, smiling honestly:

"Hahaha! This trip back from the sea, thanks to the blessing of Mazu, did not encounter strong winds and waves. Our fleet of twenty ships sailed south, went to the land of Sulu to exchange goods with the islanders, and all returned with a full load!"

Lu Yang listened attentively, it turned out that this rich man was a ship merchant running on the sea, they were full of goods from the Ming Sea City, passing through the South China Sea and Xisha, and to the Sulu country in the sea and its people to trade goods, Sulu has pearls, called sand pearls. Its color is blue and white, and it is priceless. The Central Plains people are good at taking their strings as jewelry, and the pearl color does not fade after many years, which is really the best grade.

Despite this, the profits of such trade are huge. But this line of trade fleets is all rich and noble in exchange for their lives. Think of the vast South China Sea, there are thousands of miles of vastness, and the deep place is like an abyss. It is precisely because of the vastness of the sea that it is endless. Therefore, there are millions of fish and dragon aquariums in the sea, and many whale salamanders are making waves, each dominating a sea area.

However, what is more dangerous than the whale salamander and giant crab is the unpredictable wind and waves in the South China Sea. At this time, the ship-merchant asked his brother, who was a great man who traded with Sulu, and said, "O old brother, if there is anything to be gained on the next time you go to sea, you will bring more brothers with you." ”

The giant laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother knows." Maritime trade is the most dangerous of all trades. Every year when the year is cold, when the warbler flies and the grass grows, the northeast monsoon prevails in the South China Sea, and the waves in the sea are nearly a foot high. And in June, until October. It's typhoon season. If the sky in Minghai City is gloomy, it will be an endless wind and rain. ”

"At this time, the southwest monsoon prevails on the sea, and the violent storms are numerous, and the land of Xisha is even more windy. There are many typhoons every day, and they come suddenly, and they come suddenly. If there is more rainy weather in Minghai City, the wind and waves on the sea will be extremely huge. If we do not keep the time, we will go to sea rashly. Then before the fleet reaches the land of Sulu, it will be swallowed up by strong winds and waves under the South China Sea......"

Listening to the words of this giant, Lu Yang secretly said that it was reasonable. At four times, climate change is constant. If it is not done according to its reasoning, it will inevitably lead to an irreparable situation. Experienced fishermen often say: 'Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets'. It not only has the principle that you need to be well-prepared to do things, but also contains the great wisdom of understanding the time, which is thought-provoking.

Lu Yang came to Minghai City this time, and he was fortunate to listen to such remarks in Xinyuanju. I deeply felt that he had to prepare for a long trip to the sea first. Wang Ping, the head of the Taishang family, once guided his Nanhai Tianchi, but he didn't know where to hide it in the sea. The South China Sea is full of waves, and the seemingly peaceful waves are actually full of dangers, so he plans to stay here for a while, find someone who is familiar with Haiti's experience and willing to help him, to help him find the destination of this trip in the vast sea.

I heard that the tea guests in Xinyuan Ju gathered in twos and threes, and there were many discussions, but most of them were mundane things. Lu Yang was a little helpless and was about to move. But his heart moved, and he sat back in place quietly. But hearing the sound of footsteps, there was a woman who looked like a bright moon and was born with a beautiful nature, and she moved lightly and went up to the teahouse. Suddenly the pavilion fell silent.

When everyone saw that this woman was so beautiful, they couldn't hold it, and their hearts became awe-struck. Even Dr. Tea greets visitors from all over the world all day long, and he has never seen such a beautiful woman. She is as green as water, and a smile can tug at the heartstrings of men in the world. Shaking the incense wind, he walked up and smiled at the ship's merchant.

Everyone in that banquet was stupid, this was just a woman, but she had such a breathtaking ability. It is impossible to take your eyes off where she is.

Only Lu Yang was sitting still, and he saw that where the woman walked, there was a damp water stain on the ground. Extremely heavy moisture. Moreover, the reason why she can have such charm makes the men in the teahouse forget their hearts. It's actually the result of the art of seduction. So this beautiful woman is most likely turned into a demon, Lu Yang is very curious at this time, she is a water elf, but she came to this popular place, I don't know what she wants to do.

But seeing that this woman took out a jade gold-plated waist card from her sleeve, as soon as this card came out, Lu Yang suddenly praised the good jade. He once entered the Chang'an Palace, and he often saw this kind of beautiful jade, which was the jade from Lantian. Now the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the world is prevalent in the pursuit of Lantian jade, this jade plate has a gold cloud pattern, is the ancient seal big character 'turning waves and leaping waves' is also.

Although the texture of jade products is hard, there is a saying that 'the stones of other mountains can attack jade'. The so-called stones of other mountains are made of corundum, jade sand, masonry powder and other materials whose hardness is higher than that of jade. When inscribed, wrap a layer of gold and then engrave the lettering, you can achieve the effect of hollowing. This jade plaque is very exquisite, with the atmosphere of an official. But the woman eagerly asked the merchant:

"May I ask this official, have you ever met someone who wears this waist card?"

Seeing the waist card made of this beautiful jade, the merchant rubbed his eyes and smiled kindly: "Girl, if you take this card out, there are few people who know the treasure." But I had a relationship with the owner of this treasure. Looking at the entire Minghai City, if his water kung fu is called second, no one dares to call it first. Last year, when I was about to set off on the Southern Voyage to trade with overseas, I also went to visit him with a red wine ceremony and asked him to work for our ship. But he insisted. ”

"Hey...... It's a pity that a good man is now trapped in prison and will not be able to save his life!" The merchant sighed, but said suspiciously: "Girl, who are you? Why do you have this Lantian jade plate that has been lost? If you pick it up by chance, you might as well sell this card to me at a price." As for the price...... Let's all discuss, discuss!"

The woman did not answer the origin of his Lantian jade plate, and when she heard that the man was now in prison, his life was instantaneous. Immediately said nervously: "Does the official know what big mistake he has committed and will be locked up in prison?"

"He missed the time limit set by Taishou, and lost the Lantian jade plate in the sea, and now he deserves to be killed. The Taishou of Minghai City has set a date for execution at the entrance of the East Market at noon tomorrow......"

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale, and she immediately lost her soul and turned around and ran, she was already panicked at this time, and she only hoped to find the holder of this Lantian jade plate in Minghai City. Seeing her go downstairs in a hurry, Lu Yang followed closely behind, and quietly got up and followed.

He looked into it with his discerning eyes, and he already knew that this woman was the embodiment of a sea spirit, and she was definitely not human. At this time, when you are in the city, if you lose control of your emotions and hurt the people, it is a scourge that must be eliminated. As a disciple of Xuanzhen, he should guard against such demons. Although he quietly followed a beautiful woman at this time, it was quite unidentifiable, but it was really helpless.

The woman wandered around the city and into a dimly lit alley. Apparently aware that he was being followed. But with Lu Yang's current pupil technique, it is enough to perceive everything she has done. Not only did he smile, but he walked into the alley without fear. But above the surrounding walls, there was a faint layer of water. It's a pity that Lu Yang has already seen through these clues, but seeing that he stopped, he said lightly:

"Manipulating the water to spread on the walls of the alley hides a murderous motive. It may be able to hide it from others, but it can't hide it from my eyes. Come out......"
