Ye Qing was taken over by the Immortal Sect of the East China Sea Islands and boarded a 100-meter giant ship to return home. On the first day on the sea, his spiritual consciousness could still sense the land. A few days later, seawater was nothing but seawater, filled with rich and cold water spirit.
world.
The clouds are all gray, and the snowflakes are like catkins. The sea breeze is blowing southward, and the white sails are bulging. The sailors on the ship are carefully crossing the sail ropes. They are bloated, and the white breath they exhale is frost on their beards. Looking far into the distance, the sea is blue and white -
Either unmelted snow or North Sea ice floes.
Sea-going ships have strong ability to withstand wind and waves. Liniang stood firmly on the top of the mast and looked out, ignoring the flying snow, only alertly exploring the large and small white spots in the distance - icebergs.
Stuning is an ice-free port. Once you go out of the shipping route and into the deep sea, you are still affected by the cold winter ocean currents. There are strong winds and waves on the sea, and the pressure difference between the waters creates mutual flows. There are also seasonal changes in the trade winds blowing across the sea and the spewing of spiritual energy.
The formation of a large-scale ocean current, which is now considered a cold current according to the coldness and warmth of the area it flows through, will inevitably bring floating icebergs, threatening the waterway.
But this is much better than the entire sea being frozen. With detection spells, it can be avoided no matter day or night, and the real person's spiritual consciousness is even more safe. Moreover, this ship is driven by a mixture of sails and magic circles, boosted by the north wind, and along the North Sea.
The ocean current goes straight down, and the triple overlap accelerates very quickly.
After another half day, Liniang returned to the cabin where she was resting, closed the door, paused for a moment, and then said: "The most dangerous iceberg area has passed. It will only take half a day to reach Nhazhou Island."
“Quite fast.”
Ye Qing nodded and looked away, continuing to read the navigation chart she provided.
With a flash of green light, some information entered Sichuan Lin's notes, and some were added to the logbook.
"Automatic recording of geography for ten miles of route."
"It's a pity that I don't have time. I spend more time sailing around."
As Ye Qing became a true immortal, Chuanlin's notes expanded in power. As long as they passed by, they would automatically collect geography and personnel wherever they went.
Therefore, Ye Qing was on land at this time, and the route actually took a long way on purpose, just to get complete information.
This cannot be done at sea, which is a bit of a pity.
"This year the iceberg swarm has expanded southward and is suspected to threaten the shipping routes. It remains to be seen..."
There is a thick stack of logbooks like this over the years on the table. The logbooks of the past few years after the emergence of astronomical tides are all important reference data.
You can collect and summarize the data just by looking at it, and it’s very thoughtful.
The solitary lamp only undulated slightly amidst the rocking of the ship's hull, and mixed with the white light of the snowy sky outside, illuminating the charts and logs brightly, creating a monotonous atmosphere.
Liniang lay bored on the table and said: "It's not too fast. It's always very convenient to go to Dongzhou in winter, but it's much slower to go back to Stuning. There is a sea area between Yazhou Island and Dongzhou where spiritual energy spurts intermittently. Although
It is conducive to practice. Ships passing by must take a long way to avoid the reverse current, but that route is threatened by icebergs heading south and is much denser than this sea area. Sometimes it will be delayed..."
Ye Qing listened to her explanation and roughly understood why the ship was late. He thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter. The one-way trip is quick, and the return journey is not urgent."
Liniang didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask any more questions, and just continued to tell him some details about Dongzhou: "Winter is here, and sea monsters and wild beasts generally don't appear much, but savages and alien races are very active..."
"They will use fire and clothing to keep out the cold. They are not too afraid of the cold, but they are short of food, so they can only rob our villages and towns... By late November, when it reaches its peak, all the major immortal sects and cultivating families will organize a joint counterattack. This is the winter
Anti-Congress…”
Ye Qing nodded slightly, knowing that for civilization, another civilization is the biggest enemy... Fortunately, the alien races are all simple civilizations, and the savages are even lower level.
Da Siming said that Dongzhou was made up of large and small meteorites that fell and emerged after being digested by the world. It seems right, but in a sense, isn't the invasion of foreign lands at this moment a meteorite magnified a quadrillion times?
If you can't digest it, you can only hold on to death. The reversal of fortune and misfortune depends on your strength.
Just as he was thinking this, a few rays of light cut through the sky outside the porthole. Ye Qing saw that the snow had become lighter.
"Nha Chau Island has arrived -" the captain shouted loudly.
Liniang jumped up, put all the information that Ye Qing wanted to bring into her backpack, and led him down: "This is the largest Nhajun port on Nhazhou Island - our sect is not far away, we should go now
When the Winter Defense Conference is being held, even Qingmai Taoist friends from the coastal states of the mainland will come to support..."
"But you came here secretly, so there is no need to come forward to disturb this place. I will take you directly to see the senior officials. His Highness Da Siming has already given the order, and all support is ready.
Follow her into the port area. This is a deep-water port with a warmer climate than Stuning. This can be seen from the sloped shape of the roof of the building - the steeper the roof, the better it can prevent snow accumulation, and the area here is relatively gentle.
Nhazhou Island looks very big rather than an island. The small scale of the river at the mouth of the sea can only be seen. The water color in this area is bluish, which is considered a deep sea area. The normal continental shelf is a shallow water area.
At this moment, the mountains and rivers are wrapped in snow, and embedded in the cold silver light is a prosperous port, with hundreds of merchant ships, a lively fish market with everyone coming and going, and the deeper spiritual mountains, which are full of life even under the winter snow.
All the way to the Qingmu Sect's mountain gate, some disciples recognized Liniang and greeted her warmly. They looked at the man behind her with confused eyes. It seemed that he only had the Qingmai Qi training layer, but the senior sister in the sect treated her with a friendly or even low attitude.
"Is this the Taoist companion she is looking for?" Some young male disciples looked at Ye Qing's handsome face and were a little jealous: "Isn't he a pretty boy who is just a free-for-all..."
Some people are curious, some question it, but they don't dare to ask. Power is respected here, and they can't figure out this newcomer. And the person who shows a protective attitude is a real Yang Shen, so no one dares to look down on him.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Qing took it indifferently and just followed Liniang forward.
The sun was shining brightly at this time, and it was paved with stones. When I entered the door, I saw a tall hall in the distance, and there were Taoist soldiers on the side of the passage, all standing upright.
The wind was blowing, and a chill came to his face. It was solemn. Ye Qing understood when he saw it: "I heard that there are three counties on this island, and the politics and religion are unified. It seems true."
I saw the billowing red energy concentrated in the Qingde energy, and when it was slowly exhaled, I had the Taoist energy of an immortal sect and the majesty of a human prince.
The two of them stepped onto the steps without stopping, and paused for a moment when they reached the main hall. Liniang looked back at him, a little confused, and asked in a low voice: "True Lord?"
"fine."
Ye Qing moved his fingers in his sleeves, and it was a fairy message secretly transmitted from the heaven and earth net. Just half a minute ago, the main body obtained information about the Qiu Mountain of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Yingxiang... The earthquake stopped the day before yesterday, and there were auspicious clouds hundreds of miles away, and spiritual energy was swarming.
Vision.
"The fusion of the Baibingyuan Cave Heaven and the Qiu Mountain Cave Heaven? Or will King Wei become an immortal? But the records in the Heavenly Court's Immortal Book have not yet been recorded. Could it be that Wei Yu is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?"
Ye Qing thought for a while and suppressed his speculations.
boom--
Noisy came, and there were many discussions. A loud voice spoke clearly: "... Your Qingmu Sect said that you want to invite Mr. Ye Zhenjun to come. We have prepared all kinds of support. Where are the good people now?"
The door of the palace closed, Liniang frowned and glanced at the palace, stared at Master Hua Yu who had just spoken, and secretly said to Ye Qing: "This is because the islands are dissatisfied that our Qingmu Sect has exclusive contact with you, the Banshan Island
I took this opportunity to force a woman to have a baby…it’s not against you.”
Ye Qing nodded to express his understanding and continued to listen calmly. It was a rare opportunity to directly understand the internal relationship of Qingmai, so he wanted to see it clearly.
"...I did things unfavorably. I was so tired that the Xianhou was blocked in the mainland by the Cai Dynasty. We all couldn't invite him if we wanted to. Alas..." Someone sighed: "We, Qingde, are already weak.
Constantly being eroded and penetrated by various virtues, we have retreated and pushed back again and again, and now we have retreated to the coast and the Eastern Wasteland."
"If we don't have an Immortal King, we will have no way to retreat."
"Didn't you say that the promise you made here remains unchanged?"
"Or...but it's hard to say how strong it is."
"Don't argue about this invisible matter. Let's discuss the matter of this winter defense counterattack. Since most of the senior officials of the Qingmu Sect are not here, I think it is better for Banshan Island to take charge..."
"We came across the sea from mainland China, and we just listen to you arguing like this?"
"Pay attention to kindness, pay attention to kindness..."
"The next topic——"
The conference table is a large oval table. The guest seats are empty. The first seat is empty. It used to be Qing Muzi's seat. The other seats are full of Qingmai monks. They are all Yang Shen Zhenren. There are men, women, old and young. They all seem to belong to the East China Sea forces.
summit.
The person sitting on the second seat was a Yang Shen from the Qingmu Sect. He was a little worried and couldn't hold his position. He glanced at Liniang and Ye Qing who had just come in from the door. His eyes lit up and he hummed: "The half year promised by the Immortal Lord is half a year. Why are you so anxious?"
?”
"Spring will start next year?" Master Hua Yu expressed disbelief. Just as he was about to sneer, he felt that the sounds around him were much quieter, so he couldn't help but look back.
A young Taoist priest walked up to the front. Liniang respectfully pulled out the main chair for him and stood behind him holding a long and narrow package.
Hua Yu's eyes wandered between her and the strange young man, and he was shocked: "You..."
At this moment, countless detection spells were swept over, and they all found that this young man was just a Qi practitioner... But would he be treated like this by Master Yangshen?
Ye Qing nodded to Liniang to express his gratitude. He pressed his hand on the back of the chair without sitting down. He glanced at everyone, met their eyes, and went to the main seat without saying a word.
Liniang bowed and came forward and shouted: "Zhenjun Nanlian, the Champion Grand Governor, the Marquis of Han has arrived."
There was silence for a moment, and then there was a buzzing sound, but in the blink of an eye, a kind of majesty rose up, and the hall immediately became silent again. The real people were silent and stared at Ye Qing, their hearts beating fast.
Master Hua Yu felt a trace of the fairy aura released by Ye Qing, and his doubts disappeared, and he immediately bowed down: "I didn't know that the clone of the true king was coming, but I didn't expect it to be welcomed from afar... pay homage to the true king."
"Greetings to the true king..." After looking around, everyone bowed down, and the hall became silent.
Many people looked respectful and happy. The question just now was only about whether they had arrived. As soon as they appeared, there was no more noise. Although it was just a clone, the intention of the representative was very clear. It was a certainty that the true king would come to Donghuang...
…maybe still a bit suspenseful, but at least it’s better than never seeing it.
"Those who don't know are not guilty." Ye Qing's smile did not change. He understood the dramatic scene just now and sighed secretly in his heart.
Qingde is indeed in a difficult situation. He retreated into a harsh environment. In a harsh living environment, bad tempers are just trivial matters. It's not that these people are uncooperative, it's just that they only obey the strong.
The power level in Dongzhou is in the period of tribal democracy, or it is a clumsy imitation of the Immortal Qingmai decision-making meeting, but it lacks a strong decision-maker like Qingdi.
Since the strength of each immortal sect is similar, Qing Muzi can convince everyone with his seniority and prestige in normal times, but when he is not around, the system completely collapses.
It is obvious that there is a disadvantage of Qingmai - there are almost no powerful princes, and there is even less white, red and yellow veined immortal kings to lead them.
This may be what Da Siming meant when he said, "Who else would it be if I gave you up?"
