Origin

Since it was still early, I was not in a hurry to go to the East China Sea, so I walked around the beach first. There were few people rushing to sea at this time, and it coincided with the low tide. There was a lot of seafood left on the beach. The Yi people only ate a few kinds of fish and shellfish. They don't dare to eat seafood and crabs. If no one catches them, there are more of them. Crabs as big as bowls can be seen everywhere. They don't run away when they see people. Instead, they put up their big pincers in protest.

Although the dinner last night was rich, Wu Zhongyuan didn't eat much. He only drank a lot of wine and peeed a few times. When he felt hungry, he caught a few crabs and grilled them over a direct fire without a pot. Naturally, crabs wouldn't He was roasted and struggled violently. starter

It felt too cruel, so I changed the method, tied it with straw rope, buried it in the sand, and lit a fire from above. This method was good and could cook it well.

Crabs are inherently delicious, and they taste better when grilled than boiled. However, you should not eat too much seafood, as eating too much may lead to gout.

After eating, he wanted to go to the toilet. Before returning, he was also curious about what the ancients used to wipe their butts. After returning, he learned that toilet paper was also used in ancient times. After the hemp leaves are dried, they are similar to modern toilet paper, but they must be rubbed before use. , you have to add a small amount of water when kneading, otherwise it will break easily.

Can you wipe it clean? Yes, it's very clean. It's not that the quality of the hemp leaves is good, but that people at this time had very good eating and resting habits. There was more plant fiber in the food, which was not as greasy as what modern people eat. Moreover, this People at that time did not stay up late, and staying up late was not a good habit, and gastrointestinal function would be seriously disturbed.

After eating and drinking, and having a good sleep, at sunrise, he summoned the green dragon armor, put it on and set out.

This is not the first time he has flown over the sea, but when he came here with Li Bie, he only flew over the Bohai Bay. This time he is going to the deep sea. To say that he is worried, he is not very worried. After all, he is not ignorant of the sea. As far as he knew, he still knew the general situation of the East China Sea, and he also knew where the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Islands were. To say that he is not nervous at all is not true. He is still a little nervous. After all, what he knows is the modern East China Sea, not the East China Sea five thousand years ago. At this time, there were all kinds of strange and large creatures on the land, and in the sea There are definitely more unknown creatures.

You have to fly a little higher, so you don't get too close to the sea so that some sea monster doesn't rush out and swallow you.

There was no map at this time. The references provided by the old blind man were time and location. The old blind man took a bird and flew west from Turtle Island. After flying for two hours, he arrived at a distance of twenty miles due south of the estuary. This time he arrived Flying eastward from twenty miles due south of the entrance to the sea, because I was not in a hurry, I didn't fly very fast, and only maintained a speed roughly equal to that of a bird. starter

After flying hundreds of miles, I didn't find any large sea monsters in the sea, but just because you can't see them doesn't mean there aren't any. After all, sea monsters live underwater, and they can't just jump around on the surface of the sea.

There is endless sea water in all directions. In this environment, people will feel lonely and afraid, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. He feels weak and depressed.

Fear comes from the instinct of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. Only fools don’t know fear. But when faced with fear, people will have two reactions, one is to avoid, and the other is to fight back. The former is a coward, and the latter is a warrior. Wu Zhongyuan Naturally, he belonged to the latter. When he noticed the fear in his heart, he released his spiritual energy and swooped down quickly.

He wore the Azure Dragon Armor. The Azure Dragon Armor has the ability to repel water. With his current ability and cultivation, the Azure Dragon Armor can repel seawater within a radius of nine feet. Because the dive speed was too fast, many sea fish did not have time to swim away. After the seawater receded, Jumping around on the dry seabed.

Different from inland rivers and lakes, there is very little silt on the seabed, and the feet are soft but do not sink. Wu Zhongyuan stood on the seabed and looked up, and found that the sea water above had closed. The range of Qinglongjia's water protection was nine feet in radius.

It can open nine feet to the front, back, left, and right, and only nine feet upward. Beyond this range, the sea water will automatically close.

Feeling interesting and having a lot of fun, I activated the Green Dragon Armor and swept eastward from the bottom of the sea. The terrain in the sea is actually very similar to that on land, with undulating plains and mountains.

However, he stopped not far away. He was not afraid of trouble and there was no need to cause trouble. Doing this was no different from Nezha causing trouble in the sea. It was really looking for trouble if it disrupted other people's normal life and work order.

In addition, the green dragon armor consumes spiritual energy to resist water. The faster you run, the more serious the spiritual energy is consumed. It is completely different from the spiritual energy consumed by flying across the land. It is not a difference of several times or dozens of times, but It is hundreds of times faster consumption. The reason why this happens is undoubtedly because the resistance of water is much greater than that of air, which is a difference of eight hundred times.

When we came out of the water, we roughly estimated the depth of the water, which should be about thirty feet. This data is not very different from modern data. Among the four seas, the South China Sea is the deepest, measured in kilometers. The East China Sea is second, about two hundred meters. The Yellow Sea is only a few dozen meters away. The shallowest is the Bohai Sea, which is only a dozen meters.

The unknown breeds fear. Some people are afraid of the dark simply because they don't know what's in the darkness and what's going on at the bottom of the sea. Wu Zhongyuan felt at ease, figured out the direction, and headed east in a straight line.

The flight of birds mainly relies on magnetic field navigation, and they basically fly in straight lines, so Wu Zhongyuan also strives to fly in straight lines when flying. There will definitely be errors, but they should be minimized as much as possible.

There are not seagulls everywhere in the sea. As long as you see a large group of seagulls, there will definitely be islands and reefs around. I didn’t find any big islands along the way. I saw a few small islands and reefs. The environment is similar to modern times and there is nothing strange about it. The place.

At around midnight in the morning, Wu Zhongyuan arrived at his destination. To be fair, he was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect to find the island so smoothly.

The shape of Turtle Island does indeed resemble a turtle. The so-called resemblance means that it is not an ordinary turtle. The island is composed of one large, five small, and six parts, with four legs, a head, and a carapace. It is estimated to cover an area of ​​about two hundred acres, making it a medium-sized island. size of the island.

There is a thick fog surrounding the island, which is similar to smoke, but is actually a poisonous miasma. Although he is immune to all poisons, he can sense the existence of poisonous gas. This kind of miasma is something he has never encountered before, and it should be his own. From the bottom of the sea.

Passing through the miasma, the situation on the island can be seen at a glance. Those Yi people were not mistaken. There is indeed a city on the island. It is located in the middle area of ​​the island. However, it is not a city where people live in groups, but more like an ancient palace. The reason why it is said It seems that most of these stone buildings have collapsed, and the remaining parts are covered with thick moss and have no longer regained their original appearance.

There are many fruit trees on the island, which are planted in a relatively regular manner, and the signs of human management are obvious.

Although there is miasma on the outside, there is no miasma on the island. There are also special varieties among those fruit trees. It is already winter, but some of them are still green with green leaves and fruit.

The Yi people's description of Turtle Island as spooky and terrifying is a bit exaggerated. It doesn't feel scary here, and there are no ghosts crying in the daytime. The situation here just feels dilapidated and desolate, like coming to a twilight village that has been abandoned for a long time. .

There is a mountain on the island, and the dilapidated stone building was built in the middle area of ​​the island, located on the mountainside. There is also a pavilion base left on the top of the mountain. There are several similar bases in other parts of the island, but only the base is left, and the buildings on it are gone. There must have been many exquisite buildings here. But now it is run down.

The direction of Turtle Island is from east to west. There is a tall stele on the easternmost reef of the island. The stele is three feet high and has obvious edges and corners. It is definitely not a natural formation.

Due to the distance and wrong angle, Wu Zhongyuan could not see whether there was any writing on the stele, but according to common sense, the name of the island should be engraved on it.

Judging from the size of the island and the remaining buildings, it is obvious that this is not a place where ordinary people live and reproduce. It should be a place where some extraordinary people once lived.

After a general observation, he urged the Qinglong Armor to go to the east of the island.

He wanted to read the words on the stone tablet, but stopped midway. He suddenly saw a person.

The peaks on the island run east-west, lower in the west and higher in the east. The main building is located on the mountainside. There are several remaining pavilions on the top of the mountain. Due east of the mountain is a steep stone wall, about a hundred feet high. There is a stone platform in the upper area of ​​the stone wall. , two people stood on the stone platform.

One of them was wearing white clothes and was looking eastward. The angle was wrong and the head and face could not be seen, but she had a graceful figure and should be a young woman.

Next to her stood a man in gray, with a stooped figure and his head lowered.

If you look closely, you will see that the man in gray is not a human, but a gray-haired monkey, much larger than an ordinary monkey.

The woman in white stood still, and the gray-haired monkey stood beside her and waited quietly.

It was not surprising that the woman Wu Zhongyuan appeared, because the Yi people had heard someone playing the piano before, and they also heard a woman crying and laughing, which meant that there was a woman on the island.

But the monkey is wrong, because according to the old blind man, there is a bird on the island that can transform into a man in black. It is obviously a bird, but why is there a monkey?

Feeling suspicious, he looked around. The temperature on the island was much higher than the outside world, and there were many tall trees growing everywhere. Soon he found a black figure in the forest to the right of the stone platform where the woman was standing.

Judging from the position of this person, this person obviously hid his figure deliberately and did not want the woman in white to see him. What is going on? What is going on with the man in black, the woman in white and the gray-haired monkey? What kind of relationship is it?

At this time, neither the two men nor the monkey noticed him, so Wu Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to go east, landed slowly, hid in the forest, and observed from a distance.

The woman in white was as motionless as a statue. It was obvious that the monkey wanted to move, but he restrained himself from moving. When noon came, the monkey took the initiative to reach out and pulled the woman in white to move up the steps to the top of the cliff.

The man in black followed behind, observing from a distance.

As soon as the man in black moved, Wu Zhongyuan could see his appearance clearly. He was a thin old man, with a decrepit appearance.

After the man in black followed the woman in white and the monkey, Wu Zhongyuan walked around to the east to look at the stone tablet.

There is really text on the stone tablet. The four large characters are ancient and clumsy. If you look carefully, you will find that the name is Xinyue Divine Palace...
