On the bank of the vast East China Sea, eight people and one snake looked at the waves.
The man holding the sword looked at the huge ancient bronze sword and was eager to try it. He became the first person to eat the crab, "Let me go first!"
The ancient sword is quite spiritual. When the person holding the sword stepped up, a heavy force gently lifted his body up. This force was very powerful, but extremely gentle. Soon he stood firm on the ancient sword. Shape, excitedly waving to his companions.
"It's really magical."
The person holding the wine gourd in the team stared closely at the jade pendant in the shape of a wine gourd, and said with a bold smile: "Isn't this tailor-made for me?"
He jumped up, opened his arms slightly, and landed on it as lightly as a swallow. He picked up the gourd at his waist and took a sip excitedly. "The big gourd is under your feet and the wine gourd is in your hand. How beautiful!"
The tomboy young man next to him picked up the Allegro and started playing to the rhythm.
Seeing them like this, the woman on the side couldn't help but smile and shook her head, "Okay, let's not forget the important things."
Another strong man in the team looked at the rosary and had some thoughts, "This rosary is interesting, but will it slip if you stand on it?"
The young woman joked: "You are not usually the boldest, why are you so timid this time?"
The strong man couldn't stand being provoked by others. He turned over like a kite and stepped firmly on the rosary. The rosary seemed to be extremely smooth, but there was an inexplicable attraction under his feet, which firmly attracted him to it.
All three instruments have been found.
The old man on crutches said: "My legs and feet are inconvenient, so I'd better use a small tripod to cross the sea."
It can no longer be called a small tripod at this moment. It was enlarged several times by Ye Qin and looked like a huge boat, giving people a full sense of security.
Not to mention filling up the remaining five people, it can accommodate ten more people.
But because it has become bigger, the outside of the tripod has also increased a lot. It is not as light as jumping on the ancient sword or the wine gourd and jade pendant. It is still a bit difficult to get up.
"How can we get in?"
A white light emerged from Ye Qin's body and enveloped the remaining five people. They only felt a light and airy feeling around their bodies. When they came back to their senses, they were already inside the tripod.
The black cauldron is like a towering green mountain, creating huge waves on the calm sea. Ye Qin stands on the cusp of the wind and waves, with white waves splashing on the green scales from time to time.
The sea rippled layer by layer, rolling up slightly like fish scales. The seagulls flapped their wings and disappeared where the water and the sky met.
Behind the small tripod is an ancient bronze sword. The eyes of the young man holding the sword are shining. The breeze blows his long hair, and the Taoist robe is also blown. It feels like flying with the sword, as if the vast world is open to him to roam. Wander.
The jade pendant in the shape of a wine gourd is like a huge spaceship. The old man lies on it leisurely and comfortably, taking a sip of wine from time to time. His cheeks are a little red. With his hazy eyes, it seems that everything in the world is in his wine gourd.
Another person stepped on the rosary beads and sat cross-legged. He was actually meditating. He didn't even notice that his robe was wet by the sea water.
The five people in the small tripod were chatting freely, as if the wind and rain outside had nothing to do with them. The thick tripod blocked everything, and even the sound of the sea could not be heard. It was like two worlds.
They had the illusion that they were not in the vast sea at this moment, but on solid land.
"I don't know who this expert is that has the ability to help us cross the sea."
"Yes, otherwise we would still be staring at each other on the shore."
The five people subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the green shadow standing at the mouth of the tripod. They felt a little more at ease in their hearts.
Ye Qin naturally heard their discussion, but at this moment he was attracted by the sea in front of him. The boundless sea showed its vastness to the world.
The tides that shuttle back and forth between the sun and the moon will never stop and are tireless. It can accept the return flow of hundreds of rivers and integrate into the eternal dust. When it comes here, everything will become all-encompassing and hide endless mysteries.
Humanity's exploration of the sea has never stopped, but when facing it, there will always be fear and trembling in the heart. That is because of the moodiness of the sea and the unfathomable depth of the sea.
An inexplicable mood arose spontaneously, and Ye Qin was also affected by the scenery in front of him. His emerald green eyes carried the world, soaking his spiritual power in the sea water, feeling the tolerance and magnanimity of the sea.
As the sea water rippled, the demonic elixir in his body made a vague buzzing, but there was no sense of disobedience. Ye Qin could feel that the heavy power in his body had increased a bit.
However, there is an invisible barrier in the body that restrains this power. However, the current environment is not a good time to attack the barrier, so Ye Qin can only suppress it.
I don’t know when, the blue water suddenly turned dark green, and finally turned into a thick ink color, like an abyss descending.
There was a rumble in the sky in the distance, like thousands of troops galloping in, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.
The sky suddenly became overcast, and heavy dark clouds piled above. Even the sky could not bear the weight, and was teetering on the edge of falling.
The monster in the deep sea woke up again, and this time it was fierce. Huge waves hit the outside of the tripod, and even the five people inside felt the cold sea water falling in.
The expressions of the people following Xiao Ding also became a little nervous. The sea water kept churning, and they were angry that someone had challenged its authority and even wanted to cross the sea.
The waves were coming towards them, trying to overturn them all. It seemed that only in this way could the anger of the sea be calmed.
The wind and waves were so strong that the man holding the sword had to crawl on his knees, and so did the others. The sudden change made them a little uneasy, lest they be overturned.
If it fell into the deep sea, there would be almost no chance of survival.
"This storm is really too big!"
The sea breeze like a knife passed by them, scattering their voices in the sea water, and only the sound of whirring could be heard.
"If this continues, I'm afraid the situation will be bad for us."
"We won't be buried in this vast sea today."
Compared to the eight people who were crumbling, Ye Qin, who stood at the mouth of the tripod, remained motionless. Regardless of the wind and rain, his green scales, like the only light under the gloomy sky, raised a different kind of brilliance on the sea.
He released the power in his body, and as the green scale light arrived, the rolling waves seemed to sense some kind of majestic pressure, and had to lower their heads, not daring to make any more trouble.
The wave kept whimpering, like the low moan of a giant beast, but it was not as fierce as before. In the end, it became quiet, without any sound.
Everyone looked at Ye Qin with eyes full of awe, as if his existence was the sea-fixing needle. No matter how the waves surged, they would eventually return to calm.
With Ye Qin's blessing, the group finally crossed the vast ocean and stepped on solid land again. They felt as if they were in another world.
The man holding the sword looked at the sea in disbelief, "We really made it through safely?"
The time to cross the sea seems to be long, but in fact it is short. If it were not for the magic weapons that Ye Qin took out, such a large sea area would have taken at least several days and nights.
The moment they successfully reached the shore, all the magic weapons turned into light and dissipated into the air.
The Taoist priest turned around and asked Ye Qin respectfully:
"I dare to ask the demon fairy, if you have magical powers like yours, can you live forever?"
"Disaster."
"What if you ascend?"
"There is no such thing as ascension in this world. Crossing oneself is the other side."
Hearing this, the eight people were thoughtful, and then asked many questions, all related to cultivation. Obviously, these eight people were also cultivators. Unfortunately, they were trapped by the shackles of heaven and earth and had no chance to enter the realm of cultivation. They could only think hard and meditate. There are many great ideas, but they cannot be put into practice.
And this is also the reason why their masterpieces can be passed down to future generations.
"You might as well make a promise. If there is a chance in the future, I will grant you eternal life."
"Do you really mean what the demon fairy said?"
"Of course, but you all need to keep moving forward, don't be discouraged, practice hard, and study the principles of the Tao. In this way, we may meet again in the future."
"As you command!"
When he looked up again, the mysterious green shadow was no longer there, and there was no trace of him everywhere. It seemed that everything he had just experienced was everyone's hallucination.
There were a few fishing boats docked on the shore. They must have been nearby fishermen. Because the wind and waves were too strong just now, they did not go out to fish.
At this time, seeing eight people approaching, his eyes suddenly showed surprise. A fisherman asked curiously: "May I ask where they came from?"
"We come from Penglai."
The fishermen were immediately shocked. There was no boat going out to sea just now. Even if there was one, it would not be able to move forward in such a strong wind and waves. However, from the direction in which these people came, it didn't look like they were lying.
"The wind is howling and the waves are turbulent. How can the ship sail?"
The man holding the sword subconsciously touched the long sword in his hand, with a somewhat meaningful look on his face, "Of course ordinary ships cannot sail, but magic weapons can!"
After that, he opened his mouth to tell the story of his experience when he just crossed the sea.
The fishermen were stunned when they heard this, as if they were listening to a book from heaven. However, the expression on the man's face was extremely serious, and he did not look like he was joking.
"Are you kidding me? How could there be such a strange thing in the world?"
"Are there really fairies in the world?"
The flying sword that can accommodate a person standing, as well as the jade pendant and rosary beads, all sound a bit absurd, making people wonder if they made them up.
The eight people smiled and did not explain any more. If they had not experienced this kind of thing personally, they would not believe it.
The vast sea was covered with mist, and huge waves were set off from time to time, leaving endless legends. The eight people bowed respectfully towards the sea, and then disappeared from the sight of the fishermen.
This incident caused quite a stir in the local area and was spread by word of mouth among the fishermen.
Somehow, it was rumored that those eight people all had special skills and extraordinary abilities. They threw their magic weapons into the water, then stood on it and rode the wind and waves.
Even because the noise they made while crossing the sea angered the Dragon King on the bottom of the sea, there was a huge storm that day. The fishermen all said that it was the Dragon King who was angry.
"I'm afraid those eight people are not gods. They used their own magic weapons to display their magical powers."
"I originally wanted to go fishing that day, but the wind and waves were too strong. I dare say that no boat can sail. Who else but gods can have such a method."
"Hey, but why did I hear that someone helped them cross the sea?"
"It's impossible. The version I heard is that these eight people crossed the sea by themselves. How can there be a ninth person?"
"That's right. If there is, how could it not be recorded? Do you know the name?"
The fishermen's discussions mixed with the sound of the waves and were blown into the distance by the salty sea breeze. After hundreds of years, it has been impossible to find out the truth.
…
On the other side, Ye Qin has come to reality.
The blue sea is like a blue gem. Reflected by the blue sky and white clouds, it looks quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, a few seabirds pass by, and the peaceful scene becomes vivid in an instant.
After coming out of the time fragment, Ye Qin's aura continued to surge, and the mysterious energy impacted his body, which was more powerful than the previous times.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. He had accumulated a lot of strength in the past years, and now during his trip to Penglai, he was even more out of control.
The surrounding spiritual energy was also affected and converged towards Ye Qin. The originally calm sea surface seemed to sense an extraordinary aura and began to ripple in several circles.
Ye Qin suddenly felt a burning sensation in his heart, as if a fire was burning continuously, spreading from his internal organs towards his mouth.
He felt that he needed to replenish a lot of water now. Looking at the sea in front of him, he felt an inexplicable attraction. Although he was not good at water, he couldn't care about that much at the moment.
"Can it turn into a dragon when entering the sea?"
Following his true intention, Ye Qin dived in with a sudden force, and with a pop, a small splash of water splashed on the rocks.
The cold sea water enveloped Ye Qin, and the anxious feeling slowly diminished, but this was not enough.
There is also spiritual energy in the sea. Due to the rich spiritual energy here, countless transparent bubbles are formed, making a gurgling sound. From a distance, they look like boiling water in a pot.
There were marine creatures attracted by the spiritual energy. As soon as they got close, they noticed an unprecedented pressure. Although they didn't know what kind of creature it was, their body instinct told them to be respectful and avoid it. Soon, Ye Qin was at There were small fish and shrimps wandering around in the place, but they had completely disappeared at this moment.
Before Ye Qin could figure out why the strange thing was happening in his body, he felt an itching feeling in his abdomen again. The itching was unbearable, as if there were countless ants crawling around.
The feeling of anxiety and overflowing were mixed together, and Ye Qin felt uncomfortable all over his body. The snake's body was tumbling back and forth in the sea water, so that a vortex gradually formed on the sea surface above his head.
The arc of Ye Qin's stirring was getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on his body was also spreading out. He didn't feel it himself, but he was just suffering from the group of fish and shrimps, so he could only run away towards the distance as hard as he could.
The forceful air flow and spiritual power are constantly flowing in the sea water. If a fish accidentally touches it, it will be crushed to pieces in an instant, which is enough to show how much energy is surging in it.
A huge whirlpool formed deep in the seabed. Ye Qin was at the center of the whirlpool. The snake's body was getting bigger and bigger, and it was constantly circling. The whirlpool also expanded rapidly, like a giant whale, devouring everything around it crazily.
The dark green figure almost blended into the surrounding sea water. The horns on the top of its head were shining brightly. It seemed to have grown a lot. At the same time, Ye Qin could also feel that there was something trying to break through in the abdomen. And out.
…
There were several boats carrying out fishing operations in the waters of Penglai. The sailors on the deck were holding binoculars and observing the surrounding environment. Suddenly they seemed to see something and showed an excited expression.
“There are so many fish there!”
I saw countless waves on the sea surface in the distance, all signs of active fish schools. There were even many fish jumping out of the water. They were densely packed like countless black spots, which were very conspicuous in the clear water.
"Wow, it's a great harvest this time."
The types of these fish are different, but the number is extremely large, and judging from the direction they are heading, they all come from the east.
"It's strange. Now is not the time for fish migration. Why are all these fish coming here?"
The net that was cast was filled up quickly. When it was lifted up, even the light hull of the boat became a lot heavier. The sailors' faces were all smiles, and the hands holding the fish were trembling. .
The ships sailing nearby all caught a lot of money, and returned the same way with smiles on their faces.
Compared to the bumper harvest they had here, the Whale Luohao heading east found nothing. After casting several nets, they were all empty, not to mention fish, not even a small shrimp.
They could only keep going deeper.
"It's really a hell today. Several nets in a row were empty, which was unprecedented before."
"No, that's not the case. In the past, the worst situation was with half a network. I don't know what's going on today."
"I found a school of fish here before, but now where have all these fish gone?"
The crew members were talking a lot, wondering if it was their illusion, feeling that all the creatures in this sea area had disappeared without a trace.
Just as they were talking, the originally blue sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds. At first, everyone did not take it to heart. After all, the weather on the ocean changes rapidly. Due to the influence of air convection, it is normal for the sky to be clear one day and covered with dark clouds the next second.
"Hey, the weather forecast says it will be sunny today."
"Who can say what happens at sea? Rain is normal."
The blue water became deeper again, and countless small whirlpools appeared. Something seemed to be surging in it, and even the hull began to sway.
A huge wave slammed over, and everyone felt a strong shock, and some even fell to the ground.
In just a moment, the ink clouds covered most of the sky, which made people feel a little depressed for no reason. Even their hearts felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.
The waves in the distance were getting higher and higher, setting off a vast white sea line. The waves were magnificent, as if the entire seawater was pouring into the sky.
The dark clouds collided with the dark sea water, gradually blurring the boundaries. The scene was really spectacular. The crew had been sailing on the sea for so long and had never seen such a spectacle. For a while, they couldn't tell where the sky was and where the earth was. .
The crew looked at the sea and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why has the sea turned green!"
When everyone heard the news, the sea water that was originally as thick as ink suddenly glowed with green light, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
Due to the huge wind and waves at this moment, the water surface became extremely turbid, and the green light penetrated from the bottom of the sea water.
Everything has an unusual flavor.
"I feel like the sea is a little strange today. How about we return to sea?"
"Yeah, I don't know why I feel flustered. I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about?"
Some people started to retreat in their hearts. As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a strange roar coming from a trance, startling everyone.
I don’t know what kind of creature the sound was coming from. It was completely unheard of. It didn’t sound like a dolphin or a killer whale. It was full of inexplicable intimidation.
The people on the boat couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously looked towards the dark green sea, because the sound came from the sea.
Obviously they didn't see any marine life around!
Everyone present heard the cry, there was no way they heard it wrong.
People are always most afraid of the unknown. Even the most senior crew members can't tell what animal the scream is.
Just when everyone was anxious to return, someone suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance, his face turning pale.
When the companion next to him saw this, he couldn't help but urged: "Why are you still standing here?"
"Water, waterspout!"
The crew member pointed forward and spoke tremblingly.
Dark clouds rolled over the sea, lightning thundered, and heavy rain poured down. An extremely thick water column rose from the sea and penetrated into the sky, as if it had the momentum to destroy the world.
The sea water was about to boil, the whole world was shaking, and a fishy smell hit my nose.
On this black curtain, a huge water column connects the sky and the sea, like a ferocious beast. It sucks in a lot of sea water, but it still doesn't feel satisfied.
As if they had discovered the existence of the Whale Luohao, the waterspout came towards them fiercely.
Big raindrops fell down, the sky was suddenly torn open, the rain poured out at lightning speed, the sea breeze blew past my ears, and the huge hull was swaying, it looked like that Fragile.
Against the background of the water column, the Whale Luo suddenly became as small as an ant.
Everyone's eyes were about to burst, and they couldn't imagine what it would be like if they were sucked in by a waterspout. They were afraid that there would be no bones left!
"Retreat quickly!"
"Contact the Coast Guard. We encountered a waterspout and asked for support."
I don’t know if it was because of the influence of the waterspout that the signal couldn’t be sent out at all, so naturally their distress signal couldn’t be received.
The captain tried it several times. Looking at the big red cross on the display, he was so angry that he cursed his mother.
All the people in Jingluohao became ants on the hot pot.
The speed of the waterspout was really too fast, but in the blink of an eye, it had already closed a lot closer to the hull.
"No, the wind is too strong now and we can't drive at all."
To make matters worse, due to everyone's panic and erroneous operations, the ship moved very slowly and even kept spinning in place.
There are too many whirlpools on the sea, and they are so big that the ship sinks into them, as if in a swamp.
Whale Luohao is like a little snail, desperately trying to escape from the giant beast behind it, but it can't escape the suction from the sea breeze.
At this moment, they were facing a headwind, and the mast was under strong pressure. Finally, it could no longer bear it, and it reached the end of its life.
"Kacha!"
There was only a dull sound, and the crew looked up. There were many cracks on the mast, and their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.
The mast was broken and several holes were torn in the sail, making their bad situation even worse.
Seeing the waterspout close at hand, the water column was almost as high as the sky. Its power was unimaginable and could almost crush their bones.
That giant beast is destroying everything wantonly, and there is almost no chance of survival after being swallowed by it!
Everyone couldn't help but show expressions of despair, as if they had seen the God of Death waving to them.
At this critical moment, green light suddenly spread out from the ocean and enveloped the entire hull.
The originally strange green light turned out to be extremely magical to them!
Almost at the same time, the waterspout roared towards the Whale Faller.
The hull of the Whalefall erupted with huge shaking, and everyone's vision went dark. Before losing consciousness, they vaguely saw a green shadow rising into the sky!
At this time, on the shore, personnel from relevant departments also detected the existence of a waterspout.
"Longitude 205, latitude 307, the presence of a waterspout has been detected, please notify nearby ships to evacuate immediately!"
All the ships have returned, except the Whalefall.
There has been no reply to the message sent by the tower. According to their tracking, the direction where the Whalefall finally lost its signal was surprisingly not far from the waterspout!
For a moment, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom, and they had already prepared for the worst.
Based on the size of the waterspouts they detected, once they were involved, the chances of people aboard the Whalefall surviving were zero.
"Based on this situation, it is very likely that the Whalefall will not be able to come back."
Everyone has thought about sending a search and rescue team, but in this situation, no matter how many people are sent, there will be no return.
The sea is surging with deep colors, and the entire sea area has become unstable. The waves are beating on the rocks, and white foam is constantly being stimulated.
The sky in the distance is even more oppressive, as if there are countless mountains standing on the sea, and occasionally rumbles of thunder can be heard.
However, now is not the time for them to feel sad. Waterspouts are extremely harmful. If they land on shore, they will bring great disaster to coastal areas.
The pressure gradient in the small range of the waterspout vortex axis is particularly large, and the pressure difference can reach more than 20 hPa, which is hundreds or even thousands of times the average pressure difference inside the typhoon. Therefore, the internal wind speed is extremely high, often more than 100 meters per second.
When the local government learned about the formation of a waterspout on the sea, it immediately took it seriously. In order to avoid danger, private fishing boats were strictly prohibited from fishing at sea and villages in coastal areas were evacuated.
Fortunately, it is far away from the city, and there are only some fishing villages nearby, so it is more convenient to evacuate.
"It's strange. This waterspout formed so suddenly. There was no sign before."
"We have lived here for so long, and this is the first time we have seen a waterspout."
There were some elderly fishermen in the fishing village who had been fishing for a living all their lives. Seeing this scene, there was a look of fear on their faces.
"This is the Dragon King at the bottom of the sea who is angry."
The young man didn't believe this, "Uncle, you are superstitious. How old are you, the Dragon King?"
The old fisherman quickly made a gesture of silence, "You kid, be careful what you say. Be careful that the Dragon King hears it and floods our place."
After speaking, he kept bowing towards the sea and muttered something: "Lord Dragon, don't be surprised if there is something strange."
No one paid attention to the old fisherman's actions, just when they wanted to evacuate.
"Boom!"
Only an earth-shaking loud noise was heard, and among the noise, there was also a strange neighing sound, but they were mixed together, making it difficult for people to distinguish clearly.
"Did you hear anything?"
"It seems like an inexplicable creature is roaring?"
"Look ahead!"
The gloomy sea surface suddenly turned white, and a huge white line stretched from far to near. Everyone quickly saw clearly that the white line was composed of countless seawater, pouring into the sky, and the entire sky was submerged.
Just like the scene of the tsunami in a disaster movie, I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but after comparing it, I realized that it was even worse.
In front of the huge waves that covered the sky and the sun, human beings were like ants. Everyone's eyes were splitting, and they were shocked and fearful. Some people were even speechless because of trembling and fear.
"Run quickly!"
The speed of the huge wave was really too fast, but it had already reached their side of the sea within a moment. The world in front of them was shaking, as if someone was holding a stick and constantly stirring the sea water back and forth.
The sea water merged with the sky, like a rapidly rising white continent, with the momentum of ancient times, expanding the vast and infinite space, crushing towards them, squeezing their living environment.
Screams and cries were mixed together, like a doomsday scene, and everyone panicked.
However, how could human beings be faster than the waves? The huge waves were approaching and wanted to integrate all these ants into their bodies.
At this critical moment, that weird roar sounded again.
This time everyone heard clearly.
"Roar!"
It was deafening, shaking the heaven and earth, like the roar of an unknown creature from ancient times, with an unspeakable momentum.
The waves suddenly stopped, as if a pause button had been pressed, and were about to crash onto the shore. As if affected by an inexplicable force, they turned a corner and plunged back into the sea.
Go back where you came from.
Everyone was stunned, looking at the scene in front of them, it was really weird and funny.
The wave seemed to have a life of its own. Feeling the majestic aura in the air, it ran as fast as lightning.
Only a few small waves were left to hit the rocks, giving them a feeling of anticlimax.
The thunder is loud and the raindrops are light, that’s what they say.
Just now, they almost thought the doomsday in the movie was coming, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, but this is the result?
As the tide receded, the originally detected waterspout disappeared without a trace, just like it had formed suddenly without any warning.
The old fisherman fell to his knees with a pop, kowtowed and shouted:
"This is the Dragon King showing his spirit!" (End of Chapter)
