Chapter 20 Section VIII

After an unknown amount of time, two more people came out from the cabin, saying that Tang Kai ordered them to replace them.After Liu Fengwu explained clearly, he also called the soldier on the watchtower to get off the cockpit together.The soldier was tied to the mast. Although he was safe and sound, he was so frightened that he couldn't even stand on the deck, and the helmsman's hands were clasped on his chest because he was desperately pulling the rudder. No, I'm afraid it will take a day or two to recover. As soon as he arrived in the cockpit, he didn't take off his dripping clothes, so he fell headlong on the bed and fell asleep.In the cabin, the sound of the storm outside suddenly became much quieter, almost inaudible, and the bed was shaking endlessly. He knew that the future was unpredictable, but he still dreamed of the imperial capital, his parents and her.

When Liu Fengwu woke up, he felt that his throat was a little dry and his head was groggy. He knew he was suffering from a cold, so he took two wind-dispelling pills from the medicine box in the cabin and swallowed them.This Wind Dispelling Pill is a proprietary medicine made by Yetai, it is very effective in treating colds, I don't know if it is the effect of medicine or what I think in my heart, after swallowing it, I feel better.He touched the clothes on his body. The wet clothes were a bit damp. He took out a set of clothes from the suitcase, put them on, and walked out of the cockpit.

As soon as I got out of the cockpit, I felt my eyes light up, and I couldn't help feeling refreshed.It was already dawn outside, and there were white clouds floating in the sky, which seemed to be within reach. The storm finally passed.He was delighted, stretched his limbs, and moved his muscles and bones.At this time, a soldier behind him said: "Liu Tongzhi, you are awake." The soldier was scrubbing the deck with seawater at the bow, and the wet canvas was spread out in the sun to dry.Liu Fengwu said: "Is everyone okay? Where is General Tang?" "General Tang suffered some minor injuries. After the medical officer applied the medicine to him, he was still sleeping. General Liu, this storm is so severe, where are we now?"

Where is it?Liu Fengwu suddenly remembered this question.He still remembered that the helmsman said that the compass was broken, but no one knew where it was now.He looked around, the sea was vast, with fine waves rising and falling, as calm as a big tablecloth, and the broken bugle was like a bean in the tablecloth.He said: "Reverend Yuqing must know." At this time, a little mage came over and asked, "Is the boat packed?" The soldier said: "It will be ready soon, Master, please wait a moment." He lowered his head to scrub the deck again, as if he wanted to wipe the deck until it was spotless.Liu Fengwu said: "Realist Yuqing also wants to come on the deck?"

"The real person said that he would do another Dragon God Sacrifice to thank heaven and earth. Commander, this kind of storm scared us to death. There is no such powerful storm in the big river." The soldier was very talkative, and he was still talking endlessly, but Liu Fengwu went up thinking about the Dragon God Festival he just mentioned.The Dragon God Sacrifice requires humans as sacrifices, who will Yu Qingzi sacrifice this time?Could it be her? Liu Fengwu's heart tightened.Last time at the Dragon God Festival, the girl named Zhu Xihong fell into the sea and was rescued from the sea shark's mouth by herself. Yu Qingzi felt that she had broken the Dragon God Festival. Should she be sacrificed this time?

The more Liu Fengwu thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, and she became very anxious.Yuqingzi was ordered to go to sea by the emperor, and he was only in command of half of the sailors on board, so what else could he do unless he wanted to rebel?That Zhu Xihong looks half or half like a princess, he really doesn't want to see her chopped into pieces to feed the sea shark, but what can he do now? At this time, the little mage came over and bowed to him: "Liu Tongzhi, you have worked hard for these three days." three days?Liu Fengwu was startled, and said, "It's been three days?"

"That's right, it's been three days and four nights since I met Jiaoyun. General Liu is so heroic, and the whole ship was safe and sound. Dudu Deng delegated this matter to the general, he really knows people." Three days and four nights.Liu Fengwu couldn't help being a little shocked.He slept for a day and a night at most, and the storm has lasted for two days and three nights.It was really a blessing to be able to escape in such a storm. He remembered that the scene in the storm was more dangerous than being surrounded by the enemy, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The little mage turned around to leave, Liu Fengwu said: "That's right, little mage..." The little mage turned his head when he heard the words, and said with a faint smile, "My name is Yu Anzi, and Liu Tongzhi can just call me Yu Anzi." "Master Yu'an, what is this place?" Yu Anzi looked around, pondered for a moment and said, "We are heading east now, and we really don't know where this place is. My teacher said that from Wa Island to the east, we will find Cangming, which is the largest ocean in the world. It's Cang Ming, where exactly is it, I can only take a step to see."

Even Yu Qingzi didn't know where this place was, so there was no way to draw this chart.Liu Fengwu was at a loss for a while, and said: "Okay." On the return journey, it’s not too late to take a closer look, but now the surrounding area is so vast that I really can’t draw anything. At this time, the boys and girls had already come out of the cabin.They were locked in the cabin for the past few days, all of them were pale and dull, but they became active once they got out of the cabin.Liu Fengwu stepped aside and let them walk over.These young men and women were all wearing gauze gowns. Although they were a little wrinkled, they looked like they were blown by the wind.

After passing through several teams, I suddenly saw Wu Qiujing in the crowd.She also saw Liu Fengwu looking at her, she pursed her lips and pointed to her side with her chin.When Liu Fengwu saw the woman next to her, she couldn't help being shocked. The woman seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, her expression was still a bit tired, her face was almost transparent white.Under the long eyebrows that entered the temples, a pair of eyes flowed like crystals, still very energetic.When she saw Liu Fengwu, she saluted unobtrusively, and then walked seriously among the crowd. She is Zhu Xihong?When Liu Fengwu rescued her that day, she didn't pay attention to look at it. Looking at it now, this woman really looks like a princess, but she is a little more delicate and a little less gorgeous than the princess.Liu Fengwu raised her hand to her head, and was about to salute, when she suddenly came to her senses, and grabbed the back of her head with her hand.His action must have been a little ridiculous, and several girls burst out laughing out loud, Yu Anzi could hear it, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't make any noise!"

After they stood up, the team of handymen began to play Chui Da Da again.Liu Fengwu leaned against the side of the boat, and suddenly remembered the Dragon God Sacrifice that day, he was standing in the same position, and Zhu Xihong was standing a few steps in front of him, looking at her back, she looked like a county Lord.He couldn't help touching the jade pendant on his chest again, still in a daze. At this moment, Tang Kai's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "General Liu, you're up." He turned his head, and saw Tang standing behind him with a white cloth wrapped around his head, holding his hand on the railing.He said, "General Tang, are your injuries okay?" "It's okay, I don't know how much more serious the injury I suffered back then." Tang Kai looked at those women, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Oh, fortunately, this group of little ancestors didn't have any accidents, otherwise you and I would have nothing to eat. .” Those soldiers are nothing to Yu Qingzi, right?Liu Fenggu thought of the five soldiers who died in the storm, and said dejectedly, "I just hope that this kind of thing won't happen to me in the future." Tang Kai laughed and said: "General Liu, don't be scared out of your wits, this kind of thing is not easy to come across, we are also unlucky." At this time, the music sounded again, and the boys and girls parted a way. That's Yuqingzi coming out.Liu Fengwu looked at the hatch, but saw Yu Qingzi coming out with Yu steps unhurriedly. Although he had been locked in the cabin for a few days, his face was still as white as beautiful jade, elegant and elegant, and he was not tired at all. color.Behind him, Yu Anzi and another little mage were carrying Xu Xingzi. Seeing Xu Xingzi, Liu Fengwu felt relieved.What is Xu Xingzi's purpose, he doesn't want to worry about it. Xu Xingzi was covered with a cloth under his nose, and he seemed unable to take a single step. He was carried off the ground by two little mages.When the three of them walked through the crowd, the boys and girls gathered together again and hid them in the crowd. At this time, the music sounded again, and the boys and girls began to sing.I don't know what song they sang, but the voices of those young people sang faintly, very nice. Liu Fengwu was listening intently, when suddenly, amidst the singing, a man's voice came out: "You are all fooled!" followed by a scream.The voice was too abrupt, Liu Fengwu and Tang Kai stretched out their hands to the waist knife at the same time, but immediately realized that it was Xu Xingzi calling. Before Xu Xingzi was killed, his mouth must have been covered, but now he was able to speak somehow, so he yelled.The singing voices of those boys and girls just became chaotic, and then returned to calm, but Yuqingzi's voice sounded: "The dragon leaps into the sea, and there is a god to feast!" In the singing of those boys and girls, there was a panic. What did Xu Xingzi mean by "you are all fooled"?Liu Fengwu couldn't help frowning, he looked at Tang Kai, there was nothing unusual about Tang Kai, he just looked at the piece of meat that was thrown into the sea with interest. Perhaps, it was a battle between the Shangqing Danding School and the Qingxu Tuna School.Even the battles between monks like Fatong are so bloody, let alone the battles between princes and ministers in the court.Liu Fengwu raised her head and looked at the sky. There were still white clouds floating in the sky. After the storm, it was as crystal clear and spotless as a piece of blue thin ice.He lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Xihong again, but this time she was standing firmly. Tang Kai suddenly said: "General Liu, look in the water." Liu Fengwu looked at the sea surface at the bow, there were two sea sharks fighting for food, he said: "What's wrong?" "Sea sharks can smell blood the most. Why are there only two this time?" Liu Fengwu couldn't help being a little surprised.There are the most sea sharks in the sea. Usually, when some garbage is thrown away on the boat, sea sharks will follow. That time, there were more than a dozen sea sharks in the inner sea to sacrifice to the Dragon God. How come there are fewer sea sharks in the middle of the sea?He said, "Maybe he hasn't come here yet." As soon as he finished speaking, the sea water at the bow of the boat suddenly turned upside down, and the surface of that piece of water was undulating as if it had been boiled.Tang Kaidao: "What you said is exactly, ha ha, Hai Shark has a bad nose, this time they rushed over together." Yuqingzi was still chanting loudly, throwing pieces of meat into the water.Thinking that the meat was still on a living person just now, Liu Fengwu just felt sick.It's not that he hasn't killed people before, but he only kills when he is on the battlefield. He doesn't use human flesh to worship gods like Yu Qingzi.He just wanted to turn his head away, so as not to look at the bloody scene, but just as he turned his head away, the singing of Xi Le and the boys and girls stopped abruptly, replaced by screams of extreme horror. What happened again?He turned his head to look, and just as the scene jumped into his eyes, he felt that the blood all over his body turned into ice, and he almost fell to the ground.
