Zhang Hao stood on the side of the ship and quietly watched the crazy war on the shore. The madness of the war was beyond imagination. In other words, there was only madness left here.
Under the influence of hatred, belief, and possibly religious thoughts, everyone launched a crazy and brutal battle. People fell into the sea one after another like fallen leaves.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh: "This is not a war at all, this is mutual consumption!"
After waiting for a while, Chen Yansong quietly touched it back, his face still showing shock. "The exploration is almost done.
Tsk... I was in the stage of becoming a god, and I went to eavesdrop on the conversation of the juniors. The language was still a bit unclear. I had to use illusions to guide them to talk nonsense, and I slowly got used to their language. Fortunately, I figured it out.
The general situation is: about a hundred years ago, there used to be a demonic sect called the Tiandu Sect here, which was very powerful and was probably similar to the Holy Land here.
But later, the leader of the Tiandu Sect died suddenly and unexpectedly, and a strong man at the peak of the God Transformation Stage died in mysterious circumstances, which led to the split of the Tiandu Sect.
Tiandu sent two disciples to steal the sacred objects of Tiandu Mountain respectively. One took away the Holy Fire of Nine Heavens, and the other took away the Red Lotus of Nine Earths.
He also won over some disciples of the Tiandu Sect and founded the Holy Fire Sect and the Red Lotus Sect.
Nowadays, both sects claim that they are authentic and accuse the other of being the murderer of the master! Such wars often occur now. But this time it seems to be particularly fierce.
Because of the hatred of killing the master, the different philosophies of the two sects, and the hatred formed in the previous war, it gradually evolved into this."
Zhang Hao slowly exhaled, "For one murderer, there were so many casualties. These two sects are not serious sects, right?"
At this time, Zhao Dahe spoke: "I know a little about this. I heard about it when I was in Kunlun Continent. The Taotu Continent is the world of the Demon Cult.
The east and northeast of Taotu Continent are fine, as they have contact with the outside world; but the inland and western regions, as well as the south, are still... relatively barbaric. It is said that many sects have human sacrifices!"
"Demon sect?" Zhang Hao looked at the war on the shore, frowned slightly, and finally decided: "We can't dock here, we will be involved in the war. Sail north along the seaside to see if we can find any traces of people.
"
Chen Yansong also agreed. He took a peek just now, and the master was also frightened. On the battlefield, there were at least eight gods-transformation stage, Nascent Soul stage, and golden elixir stage countless people fighting on both sides; under the foundation-building stage, there were mountains and plains. This is
A collective suicide war, so crazy!
The battleship started slowly and sailed towards the north; but after all, the battleship was not completely hidden from the masters of the seaside battle. With the light of the battle, they could vaguely see several relatively large black spots moving on the sea. But they did not look towards the direction of the battlefield.
, just didn’t pay attention.
However, looking at the 'black spot' moving towards the north, King Zuo, who was fighting in the Holy Fire Sect, was finally careful. He ordered a disciple in the Nascent Soul stage to go along the coast to see the situation. In case it was some secret hand of the Red Lotus Sect - then
At first glance, it looks like a ship, not a sea monster! And it’s a bit strange to see a ship in the open sea.
The battleship went north along the coast, but Dugu Junjie recorded this place. Because of this unprecedented encounter, Dugu Junjie marked this location as: Flame Corner!
The warship is about one kilometer away from the shore and sails at a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour. There are many sailors on the bow of the ship who are responsible for observing the water depth to prevent stranding. To observe the water depth, special small spells and professional magic weapons are used.
The sky gradually became brighter, and everyone on the battleship could gradually see the scene on the shore clearly. Just like the Kingdom of Qixia, the shore near the open sea was desolate. Along the way, we saw several large and small rivers entering the sea, but there were no traces of people.
"How about... returning? The war on the seaside may be over." Zhao Yuhang, the captain of the Zhiyuan battleship, expressed his opinion.
"Let's go forward for half a day and take a look." Zhang Hao said. The sea is vast, and the edge of a continent is also vast. It is too early to draw conclusions after just looking at it for a while. Anyway, now that we have seen land, our morale has begun to rise.
But the shore is too desolate, and there are several small rivers, but they are not enough for warships to enter.
By noon, the battleship was about to turn around and return, but at this moment a figure appeared on the shore and waved to everyone. The figure was flying in the air, and because it was one kilometer away, it was difficult to see clearly, but you could clearly see the other person waving hello.
"It seems that someone has already discovered it and has probably been following us for a long time." Zhang Hao said thoughtfully.
"I'll go over and take a look!" Zhao Dahe took the initiative to fly out.
After a while, Zhao Dahe flew back, "Young master, we are from the Holy Fire Sect. They said that during the battle last night, King Zuo of the Holy Fire Sect discovered us."
"Hey!" Zhang Hao nodded, "I noticed that we only communicated now, and the other party is also very wary, but this also shows that the other party should have the possibility of communication. Please ask the other party to board the ship."
After a while, the disciple of the Holy Fire Sect landed in front of Zhang Hao, stepping on the steel deck. He looked left and right in surprise, and saw a "strange ship" made of "Xuan Tie" sailing from the outer sea.
He looked around for a long time before finally looking at Zhang Hao with a frown: I don't know how a 'child' in the foundation building stage came to meet him on such a big ship!
Zhang Hao was also observing the other party. As soon as the other party approached, a hot breath of fire hit his face.
This person's breath was as hot as a flame, and his complexion was a bit unusually red, as if he had drunk some wine. There seemed to be a faint light of flame swaying in his pupils.
According to Zhang Hao's experience, this person has the aura of the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and his clothes are a little weird - compared with the country of Qixia. The clothes are similar to black Taoist robes, but there are patterns of flames, and there is an indescribable weirdness.
.
This is different from Liu Xinyu's Gongfu. The Gongfu is majestic and noble. However, this man's Taoist robe looks a bit weird and erratic.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhang Hao had to take the initiative to speak: "Hello, we are from the fertile land in the north, and we are here for business. I am the young master of the trading company, and I am responsible for this transaction."
"Ah...oh...hello...this is the Holy Fire Sect, and I am He Liguang, a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect's Zuo Dharma King."
Communication between Zhang Hao and He Liguang is... a bit difficult, as the language gap between the two sides is not small. However, across two worlds, there is no foreign language, only pronunciation, language habits, etc. are slightly different, which is already commendable.
But this made Zhang Hao even more puzzled: two worlds so far apart can actually speak the same language. There really is a secret in this world. You know, there were so many languages in a small Europe on Earth.
The two of them just communicated in a stumbling manner, and the people next to them sounded anxious; but both parties were strangers, and neither of them trusted the other, but they were unable to directly communicate spiritually.
After stumbling for more than an hour, the two of them completed the basic exchange:
Zhang Hao said, we are here to trade, and we have brought precious black iron, elixirs, steel, some magic weapons, and even weapons of war, etc. What we want to trade are mainly medicinal materials.
He Liguang said: It sounds very interesting, but this matter needs to be reported to my master before he can make a decision. So, can you provide some samples?
Zhang Hao said: There are not enough samples, so I will give you a gift for my first visit. One ton of black iron, 100 kilograms of steel, 500 kilograms of various elixirs, a crossbow, and two complete sets of weapons and armor made of steel.
He Liguang thanked Zhang Hao and accepted the things he brought out, and then directed the team to continue heading north. However, after more than ten kilometers, they came to the mouth of a relatively wide river. The water here was gentle and completely different from the one seen last night.
That big river is so turbulent.
Standing at the bow of the ship, He Liguang said in high spirits: "This is the Qingluan Kingdom, and this river is called Qingsha River. Legend has it that the founder of the Tiandu Sect met his grandmother here.
At that time, the ancestor was riding a fire dragon and the grandmother was riding a green luan. They met in the river. At that time, the evil dragon in the river was poisoning all living beings. The grandmother took off her veil and threw it into the river to protect both sides and trap the evil dragon;
'White Rainbow Sword', kill the evil dragon.
From then on, the river remained calm and moistened both sides of the river.
From now on, this country will be called Qingluan Country, and the river is called Qingsha River. It is said that the green yarn remains in the river to this day, suppressing the river. There are also special sacrifices among the people."
As he spoke, He Liguang himself felt a little longing for it, looking at the river slowly flowing into the sea, feeling a little lost in thought.
"It's a beautiful legend." Zhang Hao praised it.
He Liguang's tone was a little high: "No, this is not a legend. Because this matter is clearly recorded in our "The True Wonderful Treasure of the Patriarch"! It was dictated by the Patriarch and recorded by the first generation disciples."
When encountering such a "crazy believer", Zhang Hao quickly apologized. He Liguang seemed to have held it in for too long and started talking non-stop with Zhang Hao.
Seeing the warships gradually sailing into the river mouth, Zhang Hao looked at the calm, translucent Qingsha River in front of him, reflecting the green scenery on both sides of the river, and said with some fascination: "What a beautiful, broad river. I can personally visit the Tiandu Sect.
?"
"This...hey...the Tiandu Sect has split!" He Liguang said, "About a hundred years ago, the master of the Tiandu Sect wanted to pass the position of headmaster to his eldest disciple, but the second disciple was unwilling to do so and actually killed him.
Master! He also accused the eldest disciple of killing his master and taking away the Nine Earth Red Lotus, one of the sacred objects of the Tiandu Sect!
The eldest disciple only kept one of the holy objects, the Nine Heavens Holy Fire.
Later, the Tiandu sect also split.
The eldest disciple led most of the people to create the Holy Fire Sect, using the Nine Heavens Holy Fire as its sacred object; and this is the leader of our Holy Fire Sect, Patriarch Shengyang.
There is also the traitor who led some people from the Tiandu sect to create the Red Lotus Sect, which uses the Nine-District Red Lotus as a sacred object. The traitor calls himself the Ancestor of Zhenyang.
More than a hundred years later, the traitor still refuses to admit his mistake!"
He Liguang said it simply, but Zhang Hao understood the general situation of the year. But the truth... Zhang Hao was hard to judge. For the time being, he could only nod but said nothing.
The warship finally docked at the estuary and stopped moving forward. He Liguang took the gift from Zhang Hao (actually a sample) and flew away. He said: It will probably take more than a day to come back, so let everyone wait patiently.
In fact, it only took He Liguang more than half an hour to meet his retreating master, Zuo Dharma King Qi Baichuan. After a night of crazy fighting, both sides were exhausted.
He Liguang told the story, and Qi Baichuan was surprised: "A warship made entirely of black iron? Displacement is about 13,000 tons? Crossing the open sea? How big is this 13,000 tons? If converted into our units?"
"Zhang Hao and I checked the units. One ton is 1,000 kilograms, and one kilogram is equivalent to about 1.5 kilograms here. 13,000 tons, which is almost 20 million kilograms!
Master, twenty million kilograms of black iron can arm all our soldiers to the teeth!"
Qi Baichuan stopped. Although he was already the Dharma King of Zuo, and the Holy Fire Sect respected Zuo, he was still a little shocked when he heard this data. This was Xuan Tie.
"By the way, Master, this is a gift from Zhang Hao."
Qi Baichuan stopped He Liguang's movement, turned around and asked King Right to take care of the team, and he quickly flew to the Holy Fire Cult headquarters with He Liguang.
The headquarters of the Holy Fire Cult is no longer at the old location of the Tiandu Sect, but has been moved to a new location. After a hundred years of development, this place has become very prosperous, with densely packed buildings on the towering mountain peaks.
Qi Baichuan took He Liguang to the foot of the mountain, then climbed the steps and quickly headed to the main hall on the top of the mountain. Flying is not allowed within the holy mountain - unless something important happens that is related to the life and death of the Holy Fire Sect.
At the highest point of the Holy Mountain, in the center of the hall, is a flame altar. Among them, a lavender flame, exuding a sacred and noble luster, the height of a person, is burning quietly. There are a circle of masters sitting around.
, while practicing, I talk about guarding the holy fire.
