The ocean is blue and boundless, and a small boat is floating in it.

Some people were lying on the boat and some were rowing.

The sound of voices was faintly heard.

"Sanhua Empress has become more and more skilled in rowing." Song You lay lazily on the boat, his large bamboo hat completely blocking the scorching sun on the sea. He held a coconut and sucked it through a thin bamboo tube. He looked at the man wearing a raincoat and wearing a

The girl rowing a boat in a bamboo hat, "At first glance, I thought she was an old fisherman who has lived on the sea since childhood."

"Miss Sanhua is amazing!"

"Not only is it powerful, but it also rows very fast."

"That's right! Rowing very fast!"

When the little girl heard this, she immediately accelerated her paddling speed.

"Miss Sanhua, aren't you tired?"

"Miss Sanhua, you are not tired!"

"Indeed, Sanhua Empress is so powerful, how can she get tired after rowing for a while?" Song You said, turning his head and looking at it, pointing in the direction, "Go that way."

"OK!"

The little girl rowed forward vigorously.

There are a few rocks over there, just barely above the water.

There are two figures sitting on the rocks.

The two figures were both strong and powerful. They sat cross-legged on the rocks but remained motionless. They sat there for an unknown amount of time. Looking from a distance, they could only see the gathering of spiritual energy around them, and they looked like stone sculptures.

"Bang..."

The small wooden boat hit the rocks.

The little girl was startled and quickly turned sideways to look.

Fortunately, the boat was not damaged.

The two figures have opened their eyes, and their movements are almost the same. They stand up at the same time and salute to the Taoist:

"I have met the immortal master."

"I have been waiting for the immortal master for a long time."

"Are you two satisfied with those two islands?" Song You was also wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, resembling an old fisherman, but he didn't wait for their answer before he continued to speak, "From the perspective of the two of you, you two are the most famous people in the world today.

It is a rare big demon whose body is as big as a mountain. The two islands serve as a dojo for the two of them, which is a bit frustrating. I happened to be walking in this sea area during the next period and found that there are many large and small monsters in this entire area.

Many islands are full of spiritual power and have mysterious auras. I just happened to take the Dongfang soil from them. I don’t know what will happen in the future, so I ask you two to stay here for me and take care of them."

"Master Immortal means that the islands in this large area of ​​​​the sea will be designated for us as a dojo?"

"Then the Sea Dragon King might agree?"

"In order to replace the effect of Dongfang Earth, I have set up a large formation in this sea area. From now on, it will be difficult for outside creatures to come in." Song You said, "If you two want to stay here, you need to take the time to help me.

Maintain this formation and don’t let its spiritual power dry up. Look after the many islands for me to keep them calm. At the same time, if there is chaos in any country due to the weakening of spiritual energy, notify me in time. Also monitor the maritime shipping for me.

, if the sea dragon makes waves again, from now on, the two people in the sea can come and go freely."

"It turns out that the changes in the spirit of this world during this period were caused by Mr."

"I'm willing."

"I have nothing to say to you two. I just hope that you can practice here with peace of mind and not be arrogant. You have lived up to me."

Song You raised his hand to write in the air and wrote two runes. The light actually condensed and never dispersed. Then he waved his hand casually and flew towards the two big demons. This was the proof of controlling the magic circle.

With such a great demon, there is no need to say more.

"Thank you, Master Immortal!"

"I will definitely live up to the great kindness of the Immortal Master!"

"Master Immortal, please rest assured. If the dragon breaks his promise and causes trouble on the sea again, there is no need for you to take action. The two of us will try our best to kill it on this sea!"

Both great demons said to him solemnly.

"Thank you both very much."

Song You still trusted their moral character.

I learned this once in Yeshan.

"Let's go, Empress Sanhua."

"OK……"

The little girl pushed the oar backwards, causing the boat to move backwards.

The Taoist stood on the bow of the boat, making seals and casting spells.

"Buzz..."

In the distance, the sea and sky light up one by one.

In that place that is too far away to be seen, there seems to be a square invisible curtain, falling from the sky and rising from the sea. The islands on the sea are either covered in mist or distorted, and for a moment they seem to have become mirages.

, and after a while, they all disappeared from the sea.

The boat slowly sailed into the boundless sea and soon became an invisible black dot.

At this time, the sea was much cooler than when we first arrived.

Even though it is still a sunny day, the sun is scorching hot, and the temperature that shines on the clothes is much weaker.

"It's almost the beginning of autumn..."

"Is it almost the beginning of autumn?"

The little girl rowing the boat caught the key point instantly. She kept moving her hands but stared at him.

"yes."

"Then Empress Sanhua will be one year older."

"you do not say."

"How many years has this been?"

"Mingde has been here for nine years."

"Nine years..."

Empress Sanhua looked at the sky and did some calculations.

Even counting from the day I met a Taoist priest and became a human being, it has been eight years.

Why haven't you grown much taller?

Empress Sanhua was a little distressed for a moment.

The Taoist had already picked up the fishing rod presented by Lu Zhixian, found a small fish in the water basin in the boat, put on the fishhook, and then followed the example of Sanhua Empress before him and fished on the sea.

…

Langzhou, Lan'an County, county government.

A visitor from the county government came to visit today.

It is said that they are maritime traders from Yangzhou.

Yangzhou has always been prosperous, and maritime merchants have taken risks, which is like going overseas to make gold and making a lot of money. The magistrate of Lu County doesn’t know why these wealthy businessmen came to this remote place, but since everyone respectfully mentioned

When I came to visit with gifts, he did not show off his official airs, but welcomed me warmly.

After the two parties chatted, they discovered——

This group of maritime merchants actually came back from the Long Arm Country just two months ago.

This is incredible.

In the past year or so, there have been frequent storms and waves at sea, many of which were strong enough to overturn a ship. Some people have seen a huge dragon-shaped figure in the storm, and they all said that the Sea Dragon King was angry. For more than a year, there have been only a few people along the coast.

I heard that sea merchants are burning incense and worshiping gods more and more frequently, but as long as the gods they worship are really effective and they are worshiped diligently, the inspiration they get is just not to go to sea during this period. I haven’t heard of anyone who dares to go to sea or from the sea.

Came back.

Not to mention the Long Arm Country is so far away.

The magistrate of Lu County did not come from a scientific background, and he did not have any contempt for merchants. On the contrary, he often admired these courageous people in his early years, so he talked with them in detail.

This discussion is even more outrageous.

It is said that they stayed in the Long Arm Country for more than half a year. After the storm on the sea calmed down, they plucked up the courage to go out to sea. Unexpectedly, there were still many dangers along the way. They killed the sea monsters that climbed up the ship at night, and even managed to retreat.

A sea beast that is ten times bigger than a sailboat, has experienced wind and rain, and even seen the Sea Dragon King with his own eyes.

After returning to Yangzhou, everyone was terrified.

After resting for a while to calm their nerves, at the same time, during this period, maritime merchants from Yangzhou often came to look for them, asking them whether the sea was safe or not, and they couldn't leave for a while. It was not until recently that they took the time to come.
