Mirror of the Sky

After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Huansheng only felt that his horizons had broadened a lot, and nodded with emotion: "So that's the case, it seems that the world and the universe are far beyond my imagination.

In vain, I thought I had a thorough knowledge before, but I didn't expect that I was just a frog in the water just sitting on the well and watching the sky. "

As he spoke, he bowed to the old man again, "Thank you, old man, for giving me a lot of knowledge and self-reflection.

Your Excellency has a wide range of knowledge, unlike ordinary people, you don't know Gao's surname and name, what kind of identity did you have in the past? "

"My surname is Sen and my name is Xuanji. Speaking of the past, I am really ashamed of my ancestors."

Hearing that Sen Xuanji was unwilling to mention the past, Zhang Huansheng did not force it, but nodded with a heartfelt heart and said, "Yes."

Seeing him being so considerate, Sen Xuanji's expression softened a little, and he asked, "Young man, what is your last name, and what was your identity before you were deceived into this pirate ship?"

"My name is Zhang Huansheng," Zhang Huansheng said with a smile, "My parents died when I was young, and I was adopted by the Tzu Chi Hall run by the government of Xu Guo.

I turned sixteen this year, and the government was no longer in charge, so I wanted to find a way to survive. I heard that although it is dangerous to run a business, it is very profitable, and it has a promising future, so I fell for this evil. "

Hearing these words, Sen Xuanji nodded in disbelief, but he didn't ask anything, he just said softly, "So that's the case." Then he stopped talking.

At this time, the Nanyang youths who were thrown into the cabin together with Zhang Huansheng finally breathed a bit of their breath.

The whole cabin returned to a dead silence.

In this way, more than a dozen impoverished teenagers from the prosperous prefectures of Yanhuang and Linhai, and thousands of old and young women and children from the frontier fortresses of Great Chu, who can be said to be irrelevant, were imprisoned by coincidence. together.

However, although their origins and origins are very different, in the eyes of the slave traders, they are all just goods, and life will not be easy.

The dozens of baskets thrown in every morning are seasoned with a little salt, herbs to avoid miasma, hard dough cakes that are sun-dried like stones, and dozens of buckets of water are all the food.

I was tired and sleepy, so I could only sleep directly in the straw pile, and use withered grass to fight the extremely cold undercurrent that appeared from time to time in the wild sea.

In such an extremely harsh environment, people in the cabin died of hunger and cold almost every day.

From time to time, there are even more unfortunate people. Because the herbal medicine mixed in the dough cake is not effective in preventing miasma, they are hurt by the chaotic miasma, and they suddenly go crazy and kill each other.

Because relatives often get together in the cabin, the final result of such people is usually to kill their relatives and then die from exhaustion, which is really tragic.

Fortunately, Na Sen Xuanji is very authoritative among the old and weak women and children in the country of Quan, and maintains the rules and regulations in the cabin. Every time someone dies, they will be discovered in time, and they will be thrown into the sea from the vent;

All defecation is fixed in one place;

Coupled with the extremely cold undercurrent in the wild ocean, in addition to freezing people to death, it can also freeze the plague poison, so it is a great fortune in misfortune that there is no major epidemic in the cabin that will make people die.

But even so, this kind of situation in a lonely boat in hell, which seems to be staying in a boat, suffers every day, but never sails to the end, is becoming more and more unbearable.

Among the thousands of slaves, Zhang Huansheng is probably the only one who has always maintained a peaceful state of mind, secretly looking forward to it.

Ever since he was imprisoned in the giant boat, he actually quietly exerted his magical powers to control the wind that night, blew the sails, and quietly steered the boat toward the land occupied by the primordial spirit that he had sensed in the dark.

If it is to create something out of nothing, to create wind breath out of thin air, to sail such a huge canoe, it is impossible to do it with Zhang Huansheng's strength at this time.

However, there are strong winds on the wild sea all the time, and he just took advantage of the situation to turn these naturally formed sea winds in a different direction, but he can easily do it.

And this kind of ability to take advantage of the situation is also one of the great benefits of Yuanshen's evolution into the top foreign gods and demons and awakening of supernatural powers.

In fact, Zhang Huansheng started planning a few years ago to go out to sea to find a place occupied by his own primordial spirit, and to settle the inexplicable part of the mind that became more and more troublesome, and almost turned into an inexplicable summon of a spiritual demon.

After a lot of consideration, I finally decided to use the power of maritime merchants to fulfill this wish.

This is because since ancient times, in the barren sea, although you can rely on the astrolabe for positioning, there is no fixed channel.

The reason is that I don't know how many terrifying monsters are hidden in the depths of the vast ocean. No matter how familiar you are with a route, a powerful sea-monster suddenly swims and becomes a dangerous water area for hundreds of miles, so there is never really safe water. Channels exist.

Therefore, sea traders rely more on luck. As long as the general direction is right, and they do not retreat from the south to the north, and there is no danger in front of them, the maritime merchants will let their ships sail, and wait until they cross the ocean and land on the shore. After that, stargazing and positioning, and rushing to the destination safely along the coastline.

According to Zhang Huansheng's impression of returning to Nanyang Mansion with the fleet of Xiaofeng Army when he was young, and the orientation he sensed in the dark, combined with the navigation charts of the East and West continents, the location of the Daxumi Temple was determined. The giant island is right between Dongzhou and Xizhou.

In this way, as long as he can set foot on a merchant ship sailing to the West Continent, Zhang Huansheng can use his magical power to control the wind to drive the sea ship to the land occupied by the dragon and elephant transformed by his primordial spirit. .

It is precisely because of this that he pretended to be deceived and got on the slave trader's boat when he knew that it was not right.

No matter how well a merchant ship is built, it cannot be as good as a warship built by the government.

This slave trader's boat also has some talismans engraved on the bottom of the boat. When it encounters rapids, it will be activated by water power, reducing the weight of the huge boat. The head of the beast hanging on the bow also has the ability to break waves, which can reduce the impact of deep-sea underwater currents on the boat. .

However, compared with those of the Xiaofeng Army when they fought across the sea, there was a special instrument at the stern to create waves and promote the sailing. The entire hull was engraved with spells. In the event of a storm, the mountains were heavy but not sinking. When sailing on weekdays A warship that is as light as a goose feather but does not float is still very different.

Ten years ago, Zhang Huansheng had been on the scorching earth for only ten days on the Xiaofeng Army's warship, but this time, he followed the feeling in his heart and secretly adjusted the direction of the ship. I did not return to the giant island where Daxumi Temple was located, but luckily it was not far away.

At noon that day, after nibbling on the hard-as-stubborn pancake, Zhang Huansheng shrunk as usual in a corner of the cabin.
