Chapter 80: Set sail
Xu Fu is a doctor, and he really doesn't want any bloody conflict in this picturesque place.
He knew all too well who his soldiers were. The Qin law stipulates that those who kill one enemy soldier will be promoted to the first rank. Therefore, when the Qin army was fighting, it was common to see some soldiers with seven or eight heads tied to their waists, charging without their lives. In their eyes, where are the enemy soldiers? It is clear that there are one title voucher after another.
If this kind of person is not restrained by military discipline, he will not be able to control it at all if he kills him with red eyes.
However, fortunately, although the Qin army was ferocious, it was not as ruthless as the Qin law. It is not uncommon for soldiers to see their comrades-in-arms being cut off their noses and chopped off their hands and feet. As soon as the superintendent read the decree, the whole army was immediately solemn.
Xu Fu was a little relieved and led the crowd towards the place where the smoke was rising. After traveling for more than ten miles, it suddenly became clear that it was a very large village, and many people were working in the fields. When they saw the black-clothed and black-armored Qin army, they were both curious and scared.
The herald stepped forward and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am Xu Fu sent by the Great Qin Qin, and I am ordered by the emperor to patrol the four seas. Wait for the people of Huahua to come back quickly!", but all the peasants looked at him with a smile, apparently not knowing the language.
Xu Fu waved his hand at the herald, walked up to a person in person, pointed to his mouth, and then pointed to his ear, and asked, "Do you understand?"
The man shook his head in confusion.
Xu Fu made a very angry look again, patted his chest, and asked, "Where are your officials?"
Maybe this action is too vivid, and the person actually understands it. He nodded again and again, pointing to a large house in the middle of the village.
Xu Fu turned around and shouted, "Doctor Cheng!"
Cheng Yong immediately trotted over: "The last will be." ”
"You let the sergeants stay for the time being, and I'll go back when I go. So he went to the village.
Xu Fu looked to both sides and found that the inhabitants of this island were much shorter than the Qin people, especially in front of the tall Qin army, they were like children. Their houses are naturally smaller, but they are unique in their rustic shapes.
He stopped in front of the big house, where a wooden frame with vermilion paint stood like some kind of unfinished gate. An old woman saw Qin Jun from afar, and hurriedly came out to greet her. She was dressed in white and red in a red dress, and she was supposed to be a priest or something.
Xu Fuwen said: "Old man, I am the Great Qin Emperor Qincha, and I am ordered to find overseas immortals. Don't be afraid, my soldiers know the rules very well. ”
Although the old man didn't understand what he meant, he realized the kindness in his words, and made a gesture of invitation to invite Xu Fu into the house.
There was nothing special in the room, except that there was a statue on the throne.
This statue is a beautiful goddess, with a graceful posture, bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at Xu Fu affectionately. Xu Fu couldn't help but look stupid......
On the carriage, Gu Hanyue pointed to the icon of a virgin goddess on the chart and asked, "Brother Kongkong, which bodhisattva is this?"
Kongkong'er smiled: "This is not a bodhisattva, but the sun goddess Amaterasu, who is believed in by the whole people of Fuso country." Legend has it that she was born in the left eye of the ancient god Izanagi, and was the most powerful and beautiful deity in heaven and earth. ”
Gu Hanyue snorted and said: "Don't bully me that I haven't been to Fusang, my father has raised a few Fusang disciples, I know a lot about them! Everyone in Fusang believes in Buddhism, where did the sun goddess come from?"
Kongkong'er said: "Miss Gu, you only know one and don't know the other. The Buddhism of Fusang was passed down by several Chinese monks, and although the religion reborn after the localization of the Fuso people is also called Buddhism, it is not the same as ours. For example, Amaterasu Okami, which I just mentioned, her other incarnation in Fuso is the Buddha of the Great Nippon Nyorai. ”
Gu Hanyue was taken aback: "They actually dare to say that the Buddha is a woman?"
Kongkong'er smiled again: "What is this? Guanyin Bodhisattva's image when he was in Tianzhu was a male body. Bodhisattvas have no appearance, all beings are equal, what is the difference between being male and female?" After speaking, he couldn't help but chant "Amitabha!"
Gu Hanyue was even more surprised. She thought about it, but she still couldn't accept the fact that "Guanyin Bodhisattva is a man".
Ji Qingben was sewing and mending the clothes that Lu Heng was wearing when he went to sea, and then he also asked, "Brother Kongkong, what does it mean to draw this Amaterasu god on this chart?"
Kongkong'er held his chin and said while thinking: "In my opinion, Xu Fu must have arrived in Fusang when he went to sea. To this day, there are still many legends of Xu Fu in Fusang, and some people say that the 500 boys and girls that Xu Fu brought from Daqin are his ancestors. The place of Amaterasu shown on the map may be inextricably linked to the overseas senzan. The islands are not far from the mainland, and they are in the shipping lanes, so we can find out. ”
While talking, people outside shouted and neighed, and their voices were noisy. Ji Qing lifted the curtain and saw that it was Lu Longcheng who had arrived. But seeing the dust of the cars and horses, there was an endless stream.
The scenery of the north is different from that of the south, and there are many generous and sad people in the land of Yan and Zhao since ancient times. Most of the people who come and go are seven-foot men with bows and swords, and they have a sense of masculinity compared to the beautiful Jiangnan and the rich Shudi.
The buildings here are also the same as people, thick and strong, known for their durability, but lacking a bit of finesse.
Lulongcheng originally belonged to the lonely bamboo country, and now it is the seat of Liaoxi County, and there are many merchants who come and go. Pearls, sables, mountain ginseng and other goods from the Far North are loaded and shipped here to all parts of the country.
With the blessing of Miss Gu, the group naturally passed unimpeded, and arrived at the ferry after exchanging the passage documents. But I saw that a brand-new building ship was already moored in the harbor.
This giant ship is more than ten feet long, and it has a three-story wall-like attic on it. With a crossbowman in between, it can be transformed into a formidable weapon of war. The bow of the ship was a large glittering brass nail, and a hideous creature was glaring at the waves viciously, as if warning and threatening.
The four old servants of the Gu family had been waiting for a long time, and immediately welcomed everyone onto the boat. The furnishings here are even more luxurious. Not only does each person have a separate room, but also the hall and kitchen are all available. There were fifty-one sailors on board, and they were not treated very well, and they had to live in damp and dark cabins.
The boss Gu Feng said: "Miss, three, can this boat still be used?"
Gu Hanyue nodded: "Not bad." Turn around and let my dad reward you. ”
Gu Feng lowered his head: "Miss, the old slave is old, and he doesn't want any rewards, I just want you to listen to a few words from the bottom of my heart: The waves on this sea are treacherous, no better than the land." Please miss, don't make a little child, take care of everything, so as not to live up to the heart of the old slave. ”
Gu Hanyue was stunned and said, "What, aren't you going with us?"
Gu Feng said: "Of course we go together...... But when people are old, they like to nag a few words, don't blame Miss. ”
Gu Hanyue patted him on the shoulder: "Daweng, I know you are good for me." I'm not a kid anymore, and I know what to do and what not to do. You can rest assured. ”
Everyone waited for the boat to start while talking, only Lu Heng looked at the sea and didn't say a word. Is there really something he is looking for on the overseas immortal mountain? The answer to this question is hidden under the waves along with the sinister undercurrent. Suddenly, the crowd cheered and the boat sailed. Their first stop was the island marked Amaterasu on the charts.
