(There are mountains and seas in the north, which are vast as far as the eye can see. The mountains don’t know their cliffs, and the sea doesn’t know their corners)
After traveling for several months, he entered the underworld, entered the dream world, and established himself as the Demon King. When Lanfeng and his party left the Luzhou realm, they saw the snow-covered Cangshan Mountain behind them and the floating clouds at rest, and the mountains in front of them were covered with green velvet and covered with yellow clouds. Only then did they realize that it was already cool autumn in the world.
The trip was a long one, and everyone originally planned to make up a few Flying Body Techniques to catch up on the journey, but after what happened to the Snow God, everyone was knotted in their hearts. In this troubled time, although the God Clan did not forcefully investigate the disappearance of Feng Huo, the number of spy nets placed in the Three Realms has clearly increased.
Not to mention the pursuit of Feng Huo, the collusion between Yang Jian, the first god of war of the gods, and Zu Boti is enough to shock the entire Three Realms. Although Sanqing Tianzun did not make any big moves on the surface, there was already an undercurrent of suspicion within the core protoss.
In particular, the secrets of Beiju Luzhou are also being watched by the gods from the east and west. To explore or not to explore is just a matter of time.
In this way, Lanfeng and his party had to slow down their pace, walking in the mountains and forests day and night. It took half a month before they could hear the waves ringing in their ears from a distance.
The morning glow is blurred by the sea fog, the fog rises from the top of the mountain and locks the fog in the mountains, the mountains and the scales, the sky connects to the sea and the tail sea chases the sky. Only a touch of fish belly white could be seen up and down, and only the sound of rushing waves could be heard.
In the early morning, there are small houses of sea dwellers dotted here and there, and occasionally there are fishermen shouting slogans loading nets on the bow of the boat.
The North Sea is different from the East China Sea. The East China Sea once had the green velvet of Aolai Huaguo Mountain lining the sapphire blue waves. However, due to the cold air of Luzhou, the coast of the North Sea appears gray and blue all year round.
Everyone was sitting on a cliff looking at the North Sea. The rain was falling and the sun was missing. There are Feng Yilanfeng, Ruoxuehai Yesheng, and Mo Yunmu Zhizhi, a total of six people.
"Beihai is the territory of Dragon King Ao Shun. This trip is closer to Luzhou, and there should be many navy soldiers. We must be careful," Feng Yi said.
Lan Feng said: "The North Sea is so vast. If we can't use our magical powers, I really don't know when we will be able to find out the whereabouts of the Sea-Monster Flag."
Mo Yun said: "The world is full of hardships. The Kraken Flag can be hidden in the territory of the Beihai Dragon Clan, so it is definitely not something ordinary people can find." Speaking of this, Mo Yun pointed to the houses below, "These Beihai residents have been here for generations. We might as well listen to some legends about gods and ghosts from their mouths, maybe we can get some clues about this place."
Having said this, everyone walked down the cliff and walked towards the sea dweller's residence.
Looking closely at the residences of these sea dwellers, the houses are built independently and are far apart. The building materials used were not masonry but giant fish bones as beams and pillars. The house was elevated six feet above the ground, with a bone ladder leading down. There is also a small raft hanging by the window on one side of each house.
When everyone saw a man in front of him wearing a mandarin jacket coming out of the house, they stepped forward to ask.
Feng Yi said: "Brother, stay here. We are businessmen traveling in the Central Plains. We passed by the North Sea and saw the unique scenery. I would like to rest here for two days. Can it be convenient?"
The man rubbed his eyes and looked at the group of people up and down. Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, Mo Yun picked up a stone from his feet and secretly blew on it and crushed it into pieces of silver.
He stepped forward and handed some money to this young man's hand and said: "This young man, I have been traveling for many days and slept in the open air. You see there are still women, so it is convenient for us to have a place to stay and get some hot water to wash up." Take a bath or something. The money will be used as our tolls."
The little brother saw that Mo Yun was generous with his actions and that Ruoxue was a woman who did not look like a gangster, so he nodded and led everyone into the room.
After sitting down, the young man lit a stove and took some wine and meat from the side room and put it on the table.
The little brother said, "Everyone, eat well. I'll boil some hot water."
"Brother, there's no rush." Mo Yun said, "It's still early and we are new to your place. Could you please tell us some interesting stories about the North Sea?"
Seeing that these people were of high-spirited nature and had accepted money from Mo Yun, the young man agreed and poured wine for everyone.
He took out the cup and handed it to everyone. Everyone saw that the cup was clear and full of color. It was actually a glass cup rarely seen in the Central Plains. The young man smiled and said: "There is rich sand and gravel on the seaside. Almost every household has more than a dozen glass cups to entertain distinguished guests. Don't be surprised."
As he spoke, he poured the wine from the stone pot. The wine was orange-yellow in color, and accumulated crimson red after flowing into the cup. The aroma of the wine is diffuse, but not intoxicating. Instead, it has a light clarity.
The younger brother said: "This wine is made from the gladioli that is unique to the North Sea, and is dyed orange by the unripe yellowtail."
"Where's the red underneath?" Lan Feng asked.
The younger brother smiled awkwardly: "Guests, let's drink first. I'm afraid you won't dare to drink if I tell you."
Everyone was stunned, and Mo Yun said: "There is no wine in this world that I dare not drink, but I just say it doesn't matter!"
The little brother said: "This crimson color is the blood on the tip of the tongue of a sea creature in the North Sea. This sea creature is called the sea pig dolphin. It has thick skin and is cold-resistant. The blood on the tip of the tongue has a spicy taste. It is also the blood on the tip of my tongue that wards off the cold in the winter in the North Sea. It’s a must-have. Although it’s not the depths of winter yet, it doesn’t hurt to drink a little.”
Mo Yun was happy to hear this and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Guest..." Before the younger brother could speak, Mo Yun's face turned red from suppressing his emotions and he sprayed the wine towards Hai Yesheng with a "pop" sound.
The latter had a bad eye, so when the young man's eyes were focused on Mo Yun, the dark feather on his shoulder sent out a strong wind and threw the wine to the ground.
"Ahem, it's so spicy!" Mo Yun coughed.
The young man smiled and said: "This wine needs to be tasted slowly, the guests are still a little impatient."
Lan Feng didn't drink, but seeing that Mo Yun was short of food, he couldn't help but take a sip out of curiosity.
The wine was spicy and sour, and when I drank it, a wave of heat rushed from my throat to my nose. He took a long breath to expel the heat in his chest, and when he inhaled, he felt a slight sense of coolness!
"Good wine!" Lan Feng couldn't help but sigh, "What's the name of this wine?"
The younger brother said: "This wine is called 'Sunset.' Although we have day and night on the coast of the North Sea, we can't see the sun because of the sea fog. But every time the sun sets on a sunny day, the sea fog illuminated by the glow is red and orange. We turned this scenery into fine wine. It has been cloudy these days, but if you are lucky enough to wait until it clears up, you will be able to see the beautiful scenery."
Mu Zhizhi looked out the window at the sea fog with squinted eyes, and asked: "Beihai, are there any legends about gods and ghosts?"
"Things about gods and ghosts?" The little brother was stunned, and then laughed, "Isn't this Sihai the Dragon King, haha. What other things about gods and ghosts can there be?"
Mu Zhizhi played his flute and said, "Master Long Wang doesn't treat you well, otherwise you wouldn't hang the house so high and hang fishing boats by the windows. Am I right?"
"Don't dare to say that," the little brother said hurriedly, "The Dragon King all does good deeds. We do this because the Dragon King often uses huge waves to pull in some unfortunate drowned people and sunken ships from the sea. Especially the five A hundred years ago, a three-story merchant ship came in, loaded with gold, silver and jewelry, which allowed us fishermen to live a prosperous life for several generations."
"Five hundred years ago!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes were shaken.
"Brother, can you tell me in detail?" Feng Yi said.
The little brother shook his head: "How do you want me to elaborate on what happened five hundred years ago? I can only tell you that the ship is still on the beach ten miles east. But there is nothing valuable there anymore. It’s an object, and it’s also haunted. I advise you not to think about that boat. Come on, have a drink!”
As everyone raised their glasses and drank, they all understood in their hearts that the shipwreck must be gone.
After watching the seascape through the day, when the sky was getting dark, Ruoxue's ears heard the rustling sounds beside the waves. At this time, the younger brother had gone back to his room to rest, and Ruoxue winked at Lanfeng.
Lanfeng understood and pulled out a thin feather from his arm and blew in. The thin feather fluttered twice in the air and turned into a seabird and flew towards the seaside.
The seabird landed on the rock and looked around, and Lanfeng was also in the house looking at everything outside through the seabird's eyes.
"It's the patrolling Yaksha." Lan Feng said, and he drove the seabird to fly eastward. After a while, the shadow of the giant merchant ship was faintly visible. "We found the sunken ship, but there are so many yakshas. We might have some trouble getting in."
Feng Yi said: "What are they doing at the sunken ship?"
"Drink." Lan Feng said, "It seems that the sunken ship was used as a party place."
"Hey, little bastard, come and serve Grandpa a drink!" Lanfeng saw a patrolling yaksha staggering over through the seabird's eyes. He reached out to grab the seabird and stuffed it into his mouth. Lanfeng sneered and suddenly turned the seabird into demonic fire.
The screams started, but no one knew what happened next.
"Everyone, let's go." Lan Feng asked.
Everyone nodded and took advantage of the darkness to explore the sunken ship. Before leaving, Mo Yun threw the remaining silver on the table.
After leaving the room, the seven people except Ruoxue hid in the wisteria gourd. Ruoxue transformed into a snow bat and shrunk down to the size of a palm, carrying the gourd and flying. These patrolling yakshas have hidden tricks on their bodies and cannot be seen by ordinary people. This is why it is said that sunken ships are haunted.
Ruoxue stopped on a dead tree next to the sunken ship and saw a group of yakshas chattering around a yaksha with half a face left. These yakshas had round bellies, covered with swollen green skin, and their mouths were open with saliva dripping from them.
Ruoxue tapped the gourd with her foot and saw a group of yellow worms the size of sesame seeds flying out of the gourd. They circled quietly and landed on the tip of each Yaksha's nose.
Suddenly, the bugs exploded and emitted yellow smoke, and sneezing sounds were heard. After a while, the green-skinned yakshas all fell to the ground, snoring.
At this time, five rays of light flashed, Lanfeng and the others came out of the gourd, and Ruoxue also transformed into a human body. The six people stepped forward and saw these yakshas staggering around, but they also smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Feng Yi said: "Sea patrol yaksha, it is the duty of patrolling the sea area to guide the souls of the sea to find the way to the Netherworld. These people actually neglected their duties and came here to drink."
Lanfeng walked to the sunken ship and saw that there were more than two feet of holes in the hull, part of it was on the water and part of it was in the sea. After five hundred years of wind and rain, the part exposed on the shore has long been weathered and only the keel remains, and the barnacles on it have also cracked. Only the outline in the sea can be vaguely seen, but there are also many fish and shrimps as shelter.
Feng Yi said: "Make a trick to avoid water, go down and have a look."
