Four days passed by in a flash, and after the ship traveled downstream along the Chaotian River, it arrived at the mouth of the sea.
The vast expanse of sea ahead can be seen at a glance. The sea level is relatively calm and somewhat empty, with only a few scattered fishing boats floating around.
On the east side of the estuary, there is a simple pier, and three slightly larger ships are docked next to it.
One of them is particularly large, about three stories high and at least fifty or sixty meters long. There are three white sails erected on the deck that have been furled. The size of this ship is basically the same as that of a luxury yacht.
Seeing Black Pearl and others appearing, many figures quickly appeared on the ship, among them an old man stood at the front with his hands behind his back, looking out.
This old man was the one who made Tang Chao feel palpitations when he was in the Cave Heaven Paradise.
"Whoa, whoa!" Everyone on the boat fell down and saluted the two Hai Lan siblings, including the master.
Hailan said softly: "Without any courtesy, get ready to leave for the East China Sea. We are returning home..."
Then Xiang Que followed Hailan and others down the ladder to the ship. After the old man glanced at the people from the Haizhou faction, he fell on Xiang Que.
"This is Qingshan's sword guard, Xiang Que. He is following us to Haizhou this time. He said that it might be possible to solve Hai Qing's problem..." Hai Qing explained, and then said to Xiang Que: "
This is Zhou Shan, the third housekeeper of Haizhou, who is responsible for my brother's daily life."
Zhou Shan nodded slightly and said: "Welcome Master Jian Shou of Qingshan. The journey on the sea is long and quite long. Thank you for your hard work."
Xiang Que said: "You're welcome..."
After Hai Lan's group returned, the people from the Haizhou faction immediately became busy. A large number of people began to arrange the departure in an orderly manner, weighing the anchor, raising the sails, and furling the deck.
Half an hour later, the ship slowly began to leave the port and headed towards the open sea.
This group of people in the East China Sea didn't seem to be very sociable and rarely spoke. After Xiang Que arrived on the ship, few people talked to him. He could also tell that this group of people seemed a bit boring and they didn't talk much to each other.
.
Hailan had someone lead him to a cabin, which was where he rested for nearly half a month. What he didn't expect was that the cabin was quite luxurious, with the layout similar to that of a star hotel, which surprised him even more.
The strange thing is that in this world without glass, there is actually a transparent window in this room, about thirty centimeters long and wide, and the glass is replaced with crystal. When looking outside, it feels like facing the sea.
It's like spring and the flowers are blooming. This is a proper sea view room.
During the first three or four days of sailing on the sea, Xiang Que felt quite fresh. He liked to lie half beside the bed and look through the window at the endless sea. Occasionally, he could see creatures swimming by in the sea, or
It was the surging waves that created waves, and it felt quite artistic.
But no matter how good the scenery is, you will get tired of it if you see it too much, and no matter how beautiful the woman is, she will do that.
Five or six days later, the wind picked up a little on the sea, and the waves gradually became louder. The rocking ship bumped from side to side, almost shaking Xiang Que.
The journey by sea boat is quite boring and difficult, because the scenery is the same, only the sea and sky are the same color, and the rest is nothing.
About halfway through the trip, we have completely entered the open sea area.
This means that the speed of the boat is a bit slow. It is propelled by three sails, and sometimes it will take a detour when the wind is in the wrong direction. Therefore, the boat not only does not go fast, but also becomes more arduous, heading towards the direction.
Que estimates that if it were a luxury cruise ship like that in the modern world, the journey would only take about six or seven days.
That day, in the afternoon, a sudden heavy rain stopped, the sea level became calm, and the weather outside was sunny and windy, so Xiang Que came to the deck to get some fresh air.
People in the East China Sea were fishing on the railings on both sides. They basically relied on this to make about 80% of their meals in the past few days.
But at this moment, a black shadow like the horizon suddenly appeared on the sea level in the distance, covering an area of about one kilometer long.
Xiang Que squinted his eyes and vaguely saw that it seemed to be an island?
"This island is a transit point leading to Haizhou. The supplies we bring on board cannot last more than ten days, such as fresh water..." Black Pearl walked over, came to his side and explained: "So
We will stop once on the way and then send people to the island. There is a lake in the middle of the island where we can get water."
Xiang Que asked: "Is this island very big?"
"It's almost the same as your Qingshan."
"What's on the island?"
"there is nothing"
Xiang Que frowned slightly. In his opinion, there would be nothing wrong with the island, because it was obvious that there was an aura lingering over the island, as if it were covered with mist, although it was a little light.
This is a broken Feng Shui magic circle. Its effectiveness must have disappeared. I don’t know whether it is due to the age or it was broken by someone. At this time, only a few bits remain.
Xiang Que was sure that there must have been people on this island before, maybe it was a sect from the outer sea.
More than an hour later, the ship was about a few nautical miles away from the island ahead. A dozen people from Haizhou crossed with their swords, flew into the air, then shot forward and landed on the island.
Immediately, these people dispersed in all directions.
"I've been on the boat for a long time, and I want to go down for some fresh air. Is it okay to follow them there?" Xiang Que asked calmly.
Hai Lan said: "You are free to do as you like. The island is not too big. If you have anything to say, just make a complaint. Our people will rush over soon. It will take about two hours for us to set off."
"Great..." Xiang Que tapped the railing with his toes, and he flew towards the island in front of him with a "whoosh".
After Xiang Que left, Zhou Shan came behind Hai Lan and said softly: "The strength of this Qingshan swordsman seems to be a little worse. He is only at the level of Xuying, which is a bit worse than you."
"I heard that he is a natural swordsman."
"Oh?" Zhou Shan raised his eyebrows, looked at Hailan and said, "It's been a long time since a sword species appeared in the Cave Heaven Paradise. This is a bit unexpected."
Hai Lan said: "Beihai Tianping Villa once went to Qingshan, but in the end it was forced to close the mountain and close its doors for thousands of years. It seems that it was all thanks to him."
Zhou Shan shook his head and said: "This is unlikely..."
