What is "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water"? Things are different and everything is wrong. Neither Su Ren nor Zang Peng can figure out what is going on in this world. They also asked some people to ask, and the results made them even more confused, because what they got
The answer turned out to be that it has always been like this and has never changed. This makes people have to think carefully about whether there is a deviation in their cognition, or whether they have come to another world, just like suddenly appearing in the jungle.
It’s the same as those guys who disappeared quietly. Now that it’s different from before, what should we do?
Chengdu is a small town by the sea. There is only one street running through the middle of the town, with sparse thatched houses on both sides. Due to disrepair and damage from the sea wind, it is very dilapidated. There is no inn at all, let alone a restaurant.
The six of us could only find a tea stall to take a rest. There was tea here, which surprised Su Yi, because tea only grows on the top of mountains, and the seaside environment would not be suitable, but no one expected them to drink it.
These teas are produced by the seaside, and they also have a nice name, sea tea. Sea tea is not actually tea, it is a plant in the sea that is dried and soaked to give off bursts of fragrance. Su Ren looked at it carefully and shook his head with a wry smile.
Isn't this just seaweed? When can seaweed be eaten like this?
Traveling through the island group was impossible without a boat, so Su Ren asked someone to hire a boat. The boat was not big, and several grown men were tightly packed in it. The boatman was a very talkative person, and when he saw that Su Ren and others were dressed in matching
Since his actions were extraordinary, he decided that these people must be rich people, so he entertained them even more diligently, hoping to get a few more rewards before leaving.
The largest city nearby is called Zitong, which is actually the largest island. Under the stars of the surrounding islands, it seems to be the seat of the government. From the boatman's mouth, I learned that the current Dahan and Su Ren recognized each other.
Zhihan has undergone earth-shaking changes. The people here are not only good at driving boats, but also have the ability to shuttle through the water. It is said that some people can hold their breath in the water for an hour, and many people even have fish gills growing behind their ears.
Something. The city lord of Zitong City is such a fish man.
Su Ren suddenly remembered a movie about how humans changed and grew fish gills after the continent disappeared, but in the end they found land. I just don't know if the current situation is the same as in that art work.
.
"Haha!" The boatman always laughs twice before speaking: "No one knows what it was like before, but myths say that this place used to be a large land. Later, the sea flooded and the land was submerged underwater. The small islands we live in now are actually
Even at the top of the mountain before, no one had the ability to look under the sea, not even the city guard. Although he could stay underwater for an hour, he could only go ten feet deep."
Su Ren nodded: "Then besides us big men, what other countries are there?"
The boatman laughed and said: "I heard that there is a big island to the west. It's big enough to grow crops, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It's a paradise on earth!"
"What's the name of that place? Has anyone been there?"
The boatman shook his head: "That is the kingdom of heaven. Only those who are approved by the God King can go up there. I have never heard of anyone going up there in so many years. Thirty years ago, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to send troops to attack, but they could not defeat the God King's people.
I also gave them a lot of compensation.”
Speaking of the word "god king", Su Ren suddenly thought of that beautiful face. The boatman continued: "Other places are at most like us big men, with a few islands. A big country has a dozen small islands, and a small country has a dozen small islands."
There are also one or two, but they are small countries and cannot compare with us big men."
The boat shuttles back and forth between the islands along the ocean current, and there is no need for a sail. The boatman has been making a living at sea all year round and is as familiar with the sea as his own home. Suddenly a particularly large boat appeared on the horizon. After the boatman saw it, he hurriedly moved himself
The ship left the channel and hid in a nearby bay to wait. The big ship was not just one, but one after another popped out from behind on the horizon. There were more than a dozen of them. The huge hull was painted with a black protective film, and it stood upright in the sky.
In front of everyone, the ship's hull was wide, its masts were tall, and it stirred up waves ten feet high wherever it passed.
Su Kai said: "Sir, this is comparable to the warships you built in Guangzhou back then."
Su Ren smiled slightly: "It's different. We used wood back then. Look at these ships. They are real ironclad ships."
The giant ship suddenly slowed down as it was about to approach Su Ren's small boat. The sails slowly slid down, and the huge iron anchor entered the water, making a creaking sound. The waves kept rolling, and the boatman hurriedly maneuvered his boat to avoid being hit by the waves.
Turn. It can be seen that the boatman is very nervous. He doesn't know why those warships stopped suddenly. There are no other ships around, which means he is the only one. The boatman looks at the six people in his cabin. Could it be that these people
What's the problem? If you are a bad person, you will suffer.
No one was seen disembarking from the big ship, but instead they heard the sound of an emergency assembly call. This order, including Su Ren, were all very familiar to former warriors. The armored ship sent out a series of cheers along with the sound of the trumpet, and there was not much time for them to come together.
Soldiers in military uniforms appeared on the side of the ship, neatly dressed and with ribbons behind their hats raised high.
"Sir!" Zhang Hua was a little excited. He was left in Guangzhou by Su Ren back then, and he was part of the Han Dynasty's first navy.
With the waving of the command flag, a tall figure slowly got off the big ship with a small boat. Su Ren had already recognized that person. That person was none other than Li Ling. Back then, Su Ren asked Li Ling to go to the East China Sea to train troops.
Unexpectedly, Li Ling is still in the navy. This is the second acquaintance Su Ren has met. Maybe he can learn something from Li Ling's mouth.

The boatman was dumbfounded. He had never seen a general kneel down before a poor man. He had already figured out who he had brought with him since he got on the boat. The middle-aged boy should be the leader, but he didn't expect it to happen.
It's so big, could it be some high-ranking official in Jingcheng?
After bidding farewell to the boatman and giving him a lot of reward, Su Ren followed Li Ling aboard the warship. The wide deck was much more comfortable than a small boat. In Li Ling's captain's cabin, Su Ren took the honorable seat and said, "Your Majesty's letter to me.
Any ideas?"
Li Ling said: "Your Majesty is naturally happy and sent me specially to pick you up!"
Su Ren smiled slightly and sighed: "It seems that boy Huo Guang bullied Your Majesty quite a lot! Your Majesty wants to use my tiger skin as a banner."
Li Ling also smiled: "Since the teacher retired and the late emperor ascended the throne, with the help of Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie, Jin Rixi, and Tian Qianqiu, the Han Dynasty has been safe, trade has been smooth, and the people have been prosperous. Since the death of the late emperor, Your Majesty
It has only been a few years since I ascended the throne and it has already begun to decline..."
"Stop!" Su Ren interrupted Li Ling and asked, "When did this big man become what he is today?"
Li Ling was stunned: "What do you mean, sir?"
Su Ren pointed out the window. Li Ling looked puzzled. Su Ren said: "The Dahan I know should be a continent, fertile fields, mountains, and grasslands. Now when you look around, why is it all sea water?"
Li Ling scratched his head inexplicably: "This has always been the case. The continent that the teacher mentioned is only in the Kingdom of Heaven to the west. The student has never been there." Li Ling's eyes suddenly became brighter: "Sir, have you been to the Kingdom of Heaven? How is the scenery there?
"
Su Ren finally gave up the idea of continuing to ask questions. Now this big man is no longer the big man he knew. Although he has not changed much, it is no longer the place where he lived and struggled. Could it be that he has traveled through time again, or that
