Chapter 241: Deep sea legend

"Into the deep sea."
The treasurer of Jin Yan, Tian Mozhi, stood on the deck and said in a low voice.
The sea was still calm and there were no strange signs in sight, and there seemed to be no difference from the sea area before, but Tian Mozhi sighed as if they had crossed some boundary.
Lei Wujie, who was tired of practicing swordsmanship, was sitting there resting and asked curiously: "Tian Owner, is there any obvious difference between shallow sea and deep sea?"
"There are officers and soldiers in the deep sea." Tian Mozhi said meaningfully.
"Are there officers and soldiers?" Lei Wujie was puzzled. They hadn't seen many people for several days, and occasionally saw some big boats fishing. Most of the time, at first glance, there was only one of them in the whole sea. In such a place, there are still officers and soldiers?
Tian Mozhi's hand pointed at an isolated island in the distance: "I saw it, that island is called a deadly island. There are many vicious criminals in it. They couldn't be executed for some special reasons, so they were locked on that island. Go on. There is no boat to leave on that island. Every month there is an official boat to bring fresh water, and the soldiers on the island who guard the criminals cannot leave by themselves. So it is called a deadly death. Every time I see it, I knew I was in the deep sea."
"Since you are so afraid of those criminals leaving, you must have committed a felony but reluctant to be executed. What is the reason?" Lei Wujie was puzzled.
"Because they are still useful." Tian Mozhi took out the pipe and began to smoke the cigarette slowly. The sea is very humid, and smoking a cigarette can make the whole body feel comfortable. "Some mouths have important things. Some of the information that can contain some people is kept, and some are thrown here by revenge."
Lei Wujie nodded: "Senior, you know a lot. Hey, senior, a boat is coming in the distance."
"The land of the deep sea hides many amazing secrets, so ordinary fishermen are not allowed to enter, but official ships and some large merchant ships can still enter. What's all the fuss about seeing a ship." Tian Mozhi said quietly.
Lei Wujie loved to listen to the stories of Jianghu since he was a child, from the top masters on the killer list, to the peerless sword immortals guarding the Quartet, and the hidden masters who can change the dynasty of Apocalypse City, but these stories rarely involve the sea. So the stories Tian Mozhi said aroused his curiosity, especially the vicissitudes of life in his tone, which made him even more ticklish. Lei Wujie asked again: "How many novel places are there in this deep sea? You can tell me the treasurer Tian."
"Don't practice swords anymore?" Tang Lian, standing on the top of the boat, leaned down and said with a smile.
Lei Wujie waved his hand: "Practicing swords every day, I'm tired, I want to listen to the story today."
Tian Mozhi didn't mind, although his face was still dismissive, he really told the story: "Three hundred nautical miles to the east, there is a gem island. It is full of naturally occurring gems. All of them are natural and excellent in texture. They are rare treasures even if they are placed in the nine cities of Qingzhou. However, there are many hidden reefs around the island, where the official house is guarded, but even the official house enters the island. , There are not many who can come out. Even if the island is out, there are not many who can return to the inland. The human heart is a terrible thing, so now officials only guard the island, but rarely send people to the island."
"This island is suitable for bleakness." Lei Wujie murmured.
"Further north, there is a Dragon Fire Island, which is a volcanic island. When the volcano erupts, the magma jets are hundreds of feet high. The magma melts into the water. When it encounters seawater, the seawater is instantly evaporated, and the mist evaporates. The islands are all surrounded by mist, and looking from a distance, it is as shocking as if you have come to the end of the sky." A gleam of light flashed in Tian Mozhi's eyes.
Lei Wujie nodded: "Then take a look if you have a chance."
"That's not easy to wait. Some volcanoes will not erupt once in a hundred years, and some will erupt two or three times a year, which is not accurate. But you can go to the east, you can go to the north, and it is best not to go to the south." Tian Mozhi asked again Tao.
"Why?" Lei Wujie's curiosity started again.
"It is said that there is a sea monster to the south. The sea monster is called a nine-headed monster snake. It is said to have only one body but nine snake heads. The body can be compared to a long cedar ship. It can be swept over by one body and can sweep the mast of the ship. Broken. Although I haven't seen it, I did go to the merchant ship to the south, and few can come back." Tian Mozhi took a cigarette, "I have a friend who has been to the south, and he returned after only one night. He said that he did not encounter a sea monster, but when the night came, he heard the low roar of a monster in the distance. The sound was majestic and terrifying, and it scared him to return immediately. The official ship to the south did not go very much, so it would Is there any travel discs? Merchant ships sneaking in go south, and occasionally they can come back. They are also fetching chestnuts from the fire. Most of them ran back inland secretly and no longer mentioned the South China Sea. So the South China Sea is very mysterious."
"What about Xi Mian? What is the allusion to Xi Mian?" Lei Wujie hurriedly asked.
Tian Mozhi was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Lei Wujie. His gaze was no different from that of an idiot. He put down his cigarette stick and pointed to the west: "Little brother, look at the west."
Lei Wujie turned his head and looked blank.
"The west is where we came. There is no sea, only a continent called Beili! Your hometown!" Tian Mozhi rolled his eyes.
Lei Wujie blushed immediately.
Tian Mozhi sighed and changed back to that serious face again: "But neither the volcanic island nor the sea monster can be regarded as terrible. The vast sea, the most terrifying thing is the human heart."
"Human heart?" Lei Wujie thought of the story about Tian Mozhi that Xiao Se had said before, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"In the vast sea, one person's heart on a ship has changed, and the entire ship's people will be buried." Tian Mozhi muttered.
The ship that Lei Wujie only saw was getting closer and closer. Lei Wujie turned his head and looked around, and saw a big flag hung on the ship. On top of the flag was a goshawk with outstretched wings. The eagle has no head.
"What a strange flag." Lei Wujie murmured.
Tian Mozhi's expression changed: "It's bad."
Hearing a whistling sound, a feather arrow burst out of the air and charged towards Lei Wujie. The arrow was so powerful that the person who bent the bow should have a lot of strength. This reminded Lei Wujie of the "longbow chasing wings, Hundred Ghosts and Night" that he encountered at the border, but today is different. Yujian couldn't get into Lei Wujie's eyes.
Lei Wujie waved his hand and cut down the feather arrow with a sword: "What is this?"
Tian Mozhi took a breath: "I just forgot to tell you that in addition to officers and soldiers and merchants, there are pirates at sea."
