The fairy mountain on the sea suddenly rose up, attracting everyone’s attention.
Songhai Port, which has been rarely approached recently, is rarely busy again.
The people were chatting with each other outside, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the port did not come to evict them - they were too busy watching the scene, and it was not against the rules anyway.
After being obsessed with the strange scenery for a long time, Tianming and Shaoyu finally came to their senses.
"Shao Yu, what's going on with this... this mountain? Why is it floating in the sky?" Tianming, who had regained consciousness, immediately pulled Shao Yu's shoulders with excitement, pointed at the fairy mountain in the sky and shouted, "To the east
Are there really fairy mountains in the sea!?"
"...You ask me, who am I asking?" Shao Yu rolled his eyes, knocked off Tian Ming's Parkinson's-like hand, and replied angrily.
Fortunately, there was a well-informed master next to him who understood anecdotes and allusions and clarified the confusion:
"I heard that the high-ranking officials around our emperor seem to be... The National Master once said that there are three overseas fairy mountains outside the East China Sea, one is called Penglai, one is called Abbot, and the other is called... that one
...called Yingzhou!"
"Ouch!"
"According to legend, there are immortals on the mountain, both male and female, who are all extremely handsome and have lived for a long time, more than a thousand years!"
"Oh!"
"Also, the mountain is covered with exotic flowers and plants. Among them is a kind of fruit tree that blooms in three hundred years, bears fruit in three hundred years, and matures in three hundred years. It is said that mortals who drink wine brewed from this fairy fruit will immediately live forever.
You’re not old!”
"Really!?"
Every word this person says will cause a burst of exclamation and admiration from the people around him, and everyone will listen with rapt attention.
"But mortals can only see it from a distance at most, but they can never get close. It is said that only those with a predestined relationship can climb the fairy mountain and meet the immortal." The speaker continued to take out a few coins from his stomach while enjoying the crowd.
Lots of useful information.
At this time, the friends around him questioned...or complimented, "But I have never heard of anyone climbing the fairy mountain. Is there really such a thing as fairy fate?"
"Hey, you must have misunderstood this!" The man smiled and patted his friend, "If you climb the fairy mountain, you will naturally enjoy the blessings of immortality and fly to the heaven. How can you return to this earthly world?
, let us wait until?"
"Yeah... you're right!" My friend nodded, obviously convinced.
The people around them also nodded in agreement - this proves that the drama between the two of them was not in vain.
Just when everyone wanted to dig deeper into these rumors and anecdotes, some small changes occurred in the fairy mountain in the sky.
It was really a small change, but it immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers.
"Look! An immortal has appeared!"
Someone pointed at the fairy mountain and shouted excitedly, which immediately attracted everyone to look at it.
"Ah!? Where is it?"
"It's true! There really are immortals!"
Everyone was excited.
In fact, the immortals they call are just a few moving white dots appearing on the edge of the fairy mountain.
Originally, this fairy mountain in the sky looked like a pixel painting. It was unknown how far away it was from the shore. The scene everyone saw was illusory and hazy. Fortunately, this fairy mountain was big enough for people to see.
Probably.
But the few moving white dots that suddenly appear next to the mountain are really no different from pixels.
The so-called immortals are just common people’s conjectures.
Of course, such a guess is reasonable.
As for the Immortal Mountain, naturally the only ones moving on it are immortals. Although you can’t see clearly what they are, those white dots are definitely moving, and they are flying.
You can also guess it's a bird, but... wouldn't that be boring?
Tianming was not satisfied with what he heard, so he pulled Shaoyu aside and whispered:
"Shaoyu, don't you know anything about this overseas fairyland?"
"Uh..." Shao Yu touched his chin and thought for a moment.
Just now Tianming asked him why the mountains were floating in the sky. He really had no idea at all.
But now that this mountain has been associated with the legendary overseas fairy mountain, he has something to say.
You must know that in today's Central Plains, when it comes to belief in gods and legends, the most common ones are the land of Jingchu and the Bashu generation. Shaoyu has been exposed to it since he was a child, so he naturally knows a lot. It should even be said that he knows more than the one just now
Big Brother said more.
"There are actually many legends about the fairy mountains on the sea, and there are different opinions. Almost every legend is very different, and there is no conclusion."
"What the person just said is probably the same, but I haven't heard of anything similar before. I don't know why the Imperial Master told Ying Zheng this..."
Tianming didn't care much about this and casually added, "Uncle Gu, just say it casually, just for fun!"
The imperial master is none other than his uncle Gu!
If Gu Xun had known about such an incident, he would have put up big-character posters all over the city to clarify the matter - this thing about the Immortal Mountain on the Sea was all said by the Moon God and Ying Zheng, by the Imperial Protector, and he had nothing to do with it.
It doesn’t matter!
It is also understandable that it is not easy for ordinary people to find out some anecdotes about the government and the public, and generally they do not value authenticity and accuracy. It is normal for small changes in the communication process.
In fact, what the man said just now is not quite consistent with what Luna said to Ying Zheng, but it is enough for the melon-eaters to just listen to it for fun.
Regarding Tianming's indifferent explanation, Shaoyu thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It was just a legend. No matter what, let's continue talking about the topic of interest.
"I actually remembered a saying that is somewhat related to what we are seeing now."
"Tell me about it!" Tianming was immediately interested and urged.
Shaoyu didn't show off, and told his friends the story he had heard before:
"According to legend, there is a huge monster called a mirage deep in the sea."
"Monster!" Tianming exclaimed with wide eyes, getting more and more excited.
"It is said to be a type of dragon, and it controls the violent storms on the sea."
"It usually absorbs clouds, mist, wind and rain, and when the weather is clear, it spits it out from the body and transforms into a floating mountain peak or even a floating city, attracting passing ships and tourists."
"What happens after the attraction is over?" Tianming feels that this story is a bit gloomy and is probably not a good thing.
"After that..." Shao Yu deliberately lowered his voice and tried his best to enhance the atmosphere, "The mirage is hiding behind the illusion formed by the clouds and mist, quietly waiting for its prey to come."
"Prey..." After hearing this word, Tianming knew that he had guessed correctly, and that something bad had happened.
"A ship that encounters a mirage will never return, and the people on board will disappear forever behind the fog." Shao Yu did not say what the mirage would do, but the fate of the 'prey' was enough to explain everything.
When Tianming looked up at the "fairy mountain" in the sky again, he couldn't help but shuddered and trembled all over:
"Such a beautiful fairy mountain turned out to be a monster...and so dangerous!"
