Chapter 14 second quarter

Before dawn the next day, he gathered all his men and gathered on the deck.The mouth of the sea is a small town, and it has not been affected by the flames of war, and the residents are quite calm.The local officials also received an order, saying that the emperor sent a mage to the sea to find the fairy medicine, and came early in the morning to pay his respects to Yuqingzi. After a mess, after replenishing the food and drinking water on board, the Pojun sailed out of the port.The Dragon God Sacrifice was too cruel, and Yu Qingzi was probably afraid of being seen by people and causing commotion, so he ordered it to leave Hong Kong several miles before it was carried out.

After driving for two miles, it was dawn.The broken bugle stopped on the sea, surrounded by vast sea water.A wooden bed has been placed on the bow of the Pojun, and incense is also inserted in the incense burner on the small table beside it.Liu Fengwu was feeling a little impatient, when suddenly there was a sound of music in the cabin.These are the chores brought by Yu Qingzi.Holding some musical instruments in their hands, they came out slowly, the music was faint and audible.These handymen are lined up at the bow, and it is the virgins and virgins who come out.After they all stood up, a young mage said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, I invite the real person to come down from the altar!"

Yuqingzi came out.His two disciples helped a man in a long robe to walk behind him. This man was in his forties, his face was pale, and he seemed unable to even walk.When he walked past Liu Fengwu, he saw that the man even closed his eyes. At the beginning, maybe it was wishful thinking, but when things came to an end, I was still afraid.Liu Fengwu didn't know what it was like in her heart, so she could only keep her face sullen, not letting herself show any expression. When Yuqingzi walked through the crowd, the boys and girls parted ways.They were all wearing long clothes, but the male was light red and the female was white. When Yu Qingzi walked by, those red and white long clothes were blown by the wind, like a wave of water.Yu Qingzi walked onto the bow, and his two disciples supported the man to lie on the bed. Yu Qingzi looked at the rising sun on the sea and raised his hand.

The music grew louder.In the sea breeze, the sound of music is ethereal, and the bow of this boat is like a fairyland. Yu Qingzi turned around and walked to the bed, touched the incense burner with her hand, and the three incense sticks lit up, and a wisp of white smoke curled up.Although the sea breeze was not strong, the smoke only rose more than a foot before being blown away by the wind.At this time, the boys and girls sang in unison, but they didn't know what to sing.In the midst of music and singing, suddenly, the man uttered a scream, and the music suddenly became chaotic, and immediately returned to calm.

That man must have been killed.Although Yuqingzi was at the height of the bow, Liu Fengwu couldn't see what he was doing because there were many people separated.He looked at Tang Kai who was on the side, but Tang Kai didn't change his face, he was fascinated by the rising sun on the sea. At this time, the music was raised again, and amidst the music, a piece of something was thrown into the sea.Several soldiers rushed to the side of the boat to look, Liu Fengwu shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" When he turned his head, he saw a vortex in the water beside the bow, glowing a faint red color, probably this is where he threw it.He just felt uncomfortable for a while, and almost vomited, a soldier shouted: "What is that!"

On the edge of this swirl, there is a black fin swimming.But in response to the soldier's words, with a "wow", a fish rushed out of the water, causing a wave of water. Yu Qingzi said loudly: "The dragon leaps into the sea, and there is a god to feast on." He shouted loudly, and following his shout, those disciples, boys and girls also shouted, and for a while they couldn't even hear the music Arrived. It's a sea shark.Liu Fengwu remembered hearing from veterans who had gone out to sea with Deng Dudu before that there was a very ferocious big fish in the sea called sea shark, with a ferocious temperament, it would gather together when it smelled a trace of blood, and it could bite people with one bite into two sections.

At this time, there were more and more sea sharks, and there were about a dozen of them at the bow of the boat.Although the water army is a water army, most of this group of people have never been out at sea, and this is the first time they have seen a sea shark, and they are all dumbfounded.This group of sea sharks robbed human flesh for a while, and suddenly started biting each other again. One sea shark was bitten to pieces, but it was still chasing other fish. Get a bloody smell. Liu Fengwu felt a little dizzy in front of her eyes.He clenched his fists and closed his eyes, trying to wake himself up.At this time, a burst of exclamation was heard, and someone shouted: "Someone fell into the sea!"

He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a figure falling in front of him.The man was dressed in a white robe, and was a virgin.She was standing not far in front of Liu Fengwu, and she was probably shaken by the smell of blood.At this time, she was still in the air, her long clothes were blown up by the wind, as if flying in the wind, but everyone knew that as long as those sea sharks gathered, she would become the second sacrifice. The woman's hair was messed up by the wind, and half of her face was exposed. Liu Fengwu felt a blur in front of her eyes, and suddenly grabbed an iron anchor on the railing, and shouted: "Help me grab it!" With a leap, he has jumped out of the ship rail.

Liu Fengwu's movements were too fast, and the soldiers beside him hadn't come to their senses, he had already jumped out, a few hands quickly grabbed the rope, and pulled it hard, at this time Liu Fengwu was already a few feet away from the water surface, he saw Two sea sharks had already swam towards the woman in the water, raised their heads and shouted: "Quickly let go of the rope!" Although he shouted urgently, there were more than a dozen soldiers holding on to the rope, and they couldn't let it go for a while.He saw a sea shark approaching the woman, he was very anxious, he stepped on the iron anchor and jumped suddenly, he pulled out the knife from his waist.

The place where he jumped was about ten feet away from the woman, the iron anchor was dangling by the side of the boat, at this time it was swinging to the side of the woman, the distance was only five or six feet.Liu Fengwu leaped six or seven feet, stepped on the back of a sea shark, he slashed straight down, and the waist knife pierced the top of the sea shark.How could this sea shark be able to endure such pain, a six-foot-long body swayed violently, Liu Fengwu felt as if hit by a fierce horse, she suddenly lost her balance, the waist knife had come out of the sea shark's body, It was also thrown off by the sea shark, and fell into the water with a "boom".

Under the pain, the shark opened its mouth suddenly and bit Liu Fengwu.At this time Liu Fengwu has fallen into the water, although he is proficient in water, but no matter how superb his swimming skills are, he will never be as flexible as a sea shark. He knows that he can't escape, he is stepping on the water, and is about to fight back with a knife, but he hears an arrow With the sound of the arrow piercing through the air, the sea shark was hit by an arrow in the cheek. Under the protection of the pain, it rushed out of the water for three or four feet, and a long body fell flat again, splashing a large splash of water. Liu Fengwu's eyes hurt from the splash of water, and he also sank into the water.He can see in the water, and when he looked in the water, he saw that the sea shark had suffered two serious injuries and was still struggling desperately. The wound was bleeding continuously. A piece was bitten off from the belly. Although the sea shark was seriously injured, it was still extremely vicious. It turned back and bit the sea shark again. The two big fish were bitten into a ball, and the surface of the sea was boiling like boiling. The woman floated on the surface of the sea, only three or four feet away from him. Liu Fengwu knew that if she didn't save people now, she wouldn't even be able to go back.He bit the waist knife in his mouth and swam towards the woman.As soon as he reached her side, he wrapped his left arm around the woman, and was about to swim to the side of the boat, when his head came out of the water, he felt a bloody smell rushing towards his face, and a shark was about to bite him. Those sharks have all swam towards here.Liu Fengwu still held the woman with her left hand, took the knife from her mouth with her right hand, shouted loudly, and sliced ​​the knife against the water surface.He didn't use as much force in the water as he did on the shore, but his knife was still very powerful, and he chopped right at the pointed nose of the sea shark, cutting off a piece of the sea shark's nose as well. Under the pain, Haiyu bit Liu Fengwu's waist knife.Even in the water, Liu Fengwu could hear the sharp sound of the sea shark biting the blade, like a pair of iron tongs twisting.With a sharp force in his right hand, he lowered the blade of the waist knife straight down. The sea shark was exerting force, and the waist knife immediately cut the corner of its mouth in half, and it came out, but the sea shark still seemed to be biting the waist knife, a giant still Sway side to side. Liu Fengwu has also experienced a lot on the battlefield, he has never seen such a ferocious sea fish, he couldn't help feeling palpitations, and was stunned.At this moment, Tang Kai could only be heard shouting from the boat: "General Liu, catch him quickly!" Tang Kai lowered another anchor.This time because it was aimed at and lowered, it was just above Liu Fengwu's head.Liu Fengwu put the waist knife in his mouth, only to feel the smell of blood on the knife.This sea shark was grabbing human flesh just now, and I don't know whether the bloody smell is human blood in its mouth or the sea shark's own blood, Liu Fengwu didn't dare to think too much, and put the woman on the iron anchor with force of both hands , he pulled the anchor tooth with one hand, took off the waist knife with the other hand, and shouted: "Quick pull!" Tang Kai pushed hard on the boat, even though there were two people hanging on the anchor, plus the weight of the anchor itself, it was really heavy, but he still had enough strength to pull it. As soon as it was pulled out of the water, the shark suddenly rushed out of the water again and rushed towards Liu Fengwu.Liu Fengwu curled up her legs suddenly, the sea shark bit the space, and slammed into the chest of the ship with a "boom".Liu Fengwu raised his head and shouted: "Quickly pull! Quickly pull!" He didn't think much when he jumped into the water, and he fought to survive this time in the water. Although it was only a short moment, he felt like it was over. For several years, I just look forward to going early in the morning, so I don't have the vigor when I just jumped off. Tang Kai used both hands together, and there were soldiers to help him, he immediately rose up quickly, and immediately pulled up more than two feet, although the shark jumped high, it couldn't bite him now.Liu Fengwu still didn't dare to be negligent, holding the waist knife in one hand, staring at the sea shark, this sea shark was bleeding because of the injury, and bit into a ball with the sea shark beside it, but the sea shark just now had been bitten to death, Lying on the water skin with a white belly turned over, motionless. As soon as the iron anchor was pulled up, several soldiers reached out and grabbed Liu Fengwu and pulled him onto the deck.Liu Fengwu felt that the joints all over her body were loose, and she couldn't even stand firmly.He looked at the woman, her whole body was dripping wet, her clothes were tightly attached to her body, her face was too pale, and the other two virgins were rubbing her chest to control the water.He asked, "Is she saved?" Before the two women could speak, someone suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The voice was that of one of Yu Qingzi's apprentices.The group of people immediately moved out of the way, only to see Yu Qingzi walking over with a sullen face, quite angry. It must have disturbed his Dragon God Festival.Liu Fengwu's heart trembled, Yu Qingzi would not take his anger on him, but maybe it would be bad for this woman.Just as he was about to speak, Tang Kai said with a smile, "Really, congratulations." His words were a bit abrupt, and Yu Qingzi couldn't help being startled, Tang Kai said: "This time, General Liu cut the shark and stood up, and he became the master. It's smooth sailing. The Dragon God must be telling us with this sign, and this trip will definitely not be empty." His words were a bit forceful, but Yuqingzi showed a smile on his face, and said, "General Tang is right. Dragon gods have spirits, and sharks cannot invade them." As soon as he spoke, the two disciples behind him also let go of their throats and said: "The dragon god has spirit, sharks cannot invade." The boys and girls beside him also shouted in unison, and even some soldiers joined the ranks. Where the shark can't invade, it was almost torn alive by the sea shark.Liu Fengwu put the knife back into its sheath, thinking about it.There were a few teeth marks bitten by the sea shark on this hundred-smelting steel knife, looking back at the scene just now, Liu Fengwu couldn't help being afraid for a while. How on earth did he have such great courage to go into the water to save this woman regardless of the dozen or so sea sharks?Liu Fengwu really couldn't figure it out.He looked at the woman again, and the woman had already controlled the sea water and woke up.Looking from one side, her profile really looks half or six like a princess. Just for this reason?Liu Fengwu felt a pain in her heart.It was only because of her side profile that she looked like a princess that she made herself desperate to save people.He had made up his mind to forget the Princess forever, but only now did he realize that he would never forget. There is a peninsula in the northeast of the empire, stretching out into the sea, opposite to Guluo Island, and enclosing an inland sea.The mouth of the sea is hundreds of miles away, and after bypassing Cape Diwang, the open sea is reached.The fairy island on the sea mentioned by Yuqingzi is in the north, and it will pass through the strait between Juluo Island and Wa Island, but no one knows where it is. It is dusk.Looking back now, I can no longer see the coast of the empire. The two faint lands on the left and the right are Juluo Island and Wa Island.Liu Fengwu stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the setting sun ecstatically. Every day, she is farther away from her.Liu Fengwu stretched out her hand to her chest and pressed the jade pendant, feeling another burst of pain in her heart. Is there a day to come back?From the day he went to sea, he felt a little uneasy.Although he has been in the Marine Corps for several years, he has never been to the outer seas. He also followed Deng Canglan to the inner seas to train troops before.Looking around, there is nothing, only the sea breeze blowing, and I can only see gulls chasing the stern of the ship, and the huge broken horn between the water and the sky, just like a fallen leaf on the river, or smaller than the fallen leaf on the river. At the beginning of the empire, the islanders of Wadao were extremely obedient and sent people to pay tribute every year, so that the emperor ordered Wadao to pay tribute not too often, but only once every ten years.However, when the power of the empire declined day by day, the island barbarians began to refuse to accept it, and repeatedly attacked Juluo Island across the sea.When the Snakeman first emerged, the island barbarians even invaded with all their troops, and the king of Juluo Fan was unable to support him, so he asked the empire for help.At that time, Deng Canglan brought 10,000 sailors to the aid, joined forces with Juluo Turks, and defeated 100,000 barbarians on the island, so that the barbarians did not dare to invade again. Juluo Island is actually a peninsula, but it is only connected to the mainland by a line.The southernmost point is a small island called Renhua Island. After the Broken Army made its last replenishment there, it could only seek replenishment in the sea by itself.Fortunately, the broken horn is very big, full of supplies, it can sail on the sea for more than a year.During this year, as long as fresh water can be found on a small island, there will be no worries.Two of Yuqingzi's handymen are fishermen from Juluo Island. They have fished in the open sea several times and are quite familiar with this area. They acted as guides for this trip.But the farthest they have been has only been more than two hundred miles outside Juluo Island, and they are at a loss when they go further out, and they still have to explore step by step along this journey.Deng Canglan, the supreme commander of the navy, did not object to this trip to sea. The main reason is that he also wanted someone to draw a chart of the situation in the open sea and bring it back.This task was mainly undertaken by the two centurions Tang Kai and Liu Fengwu. The virgins were saying their evening prayers on the foredeck.Although the legal system is divided into two factions, the two factions actually come from the same source, and this type of ceremony is the same. Evening prayer is held every five days, and today is the first time since departure.The sea breeze blows from west to east, and the singing voices of the boys and girls are fragmented by the sea wind, and they cannot be heard clearly, more like faint singing voices from the fairy island. In the distant imperial capital, would she also be watching from a high place?Liu Fengwu didn't know.For him, these things are as far away as the fairy island on the sea mentioned by Yuqingzi, which is beyond his imagination.Through the clothes, he grasped the jade pendant tightly, but his heart felt even more painful as if it was broken.
