400
Water is a magical thing. As the basic material of construction, it can be gentle or fierce. It can moisturize everything delicately, or it can destroy a city in an instant.
Most of the water Du Heng had seen before was gentle, flowing quietly in rivers. But now, he felt the horror and cruelty of the sea.
He was making shrimp wontons for Xiaoxiao and the others. After opening the curtains, he could see the vast ocean. People say the ocean is blue, but the ocean Du Heng saw was green. There were large clouds floating in the sky. He listened to the sound of Zhou Lianhua's tail hitting the water. Everything seemed so beautiful.
When Wonton was halfway through, he could no longer see Linhai City. They had left the mainland far behind and were heading towards the vast and deep seabed.
It could be that the waves in the sea were much bigger than those in the river, or it could be that Zhou Lianhua was moving faster in the sea than the bream. Even with the formation to maintain stability, the frame was moving up and down with Zhou Lianhua's body. It felt like riding a boat, a little dizzy.
At first they could still see Zhou Lianhua's back, but later the waves were almost hitting the car curtains.
Xuan Yu put down the wontons in his hand and put the wrapped wontons in a basket: "The wind is blowing on the sea, the weather should change. Let's dive into the sea?" Du Heng responded: "Oh, okay."
Xuan Yu walked to the curtain, opened it and said something to Zhou Lianhua. Du Heng felt the sea water outside the barrier rising rapidly, and soon they were in the green sea water. Looking out the window at this time, you can still see the light shining through the water.
The green seawater piled up above his head, and the dull feeling of suffocation made Du Heng twist his neck subconsciously. He looked at Feng Gui and Jing Nan worriedly, only to see that the two were sitting at the round table with their lips tightly closed.
Xuan Yu walked over and transferred some spiritual energy to their backs: "Go forward for more than 300 miles and you will see the trench. The blue wave grass will grow in the trench. Just hold on a little longer."
Jing Nan weakly raised his hand and waved: "You said this an hour or two ago..."
Xuan Yu said seriously: "I won't lie to you this time."
Zhou Lianhua's voice came from outside the curtain: "Long Jun, there is a storm ahead. Should we go through it or around it?"
Xuan Yu said, "Let's go through it." Before diving into the water, he glanced at the clouds from afar. The thundercloud was quite large, and if he took a detour, it might take several more hours.
Zhou Lianhua dived deeper into the water, and when Du Heng looked up again, he could no longer see the light. Although he could not see the light, he could feel the power of the tide, and Zhou Lianhua's huge body was swept up and down by the tide.
Zhou Lianhua said seriously: "We are passing through the storm area. The waves on the water are too big, and the underwater currents are also getting bigger. Everyone hold on! I'm going to speed up!"
The feeling of seasickness became more intense. Du Heng had never experienced seasickness in his two lifetimes, but this time he felt it thoroughly.
The items in the frame were fixed in place by the formation, and it looked no different from being on land. But the people in the car suffered. Zhou Lianhua's body was rolled up and thrown down by the waves, and the wontons in the car were also tossed up and rolled under the table. Ciba grabbed the table leg directly and refused to give up.
Not only the little beasts suffered, but also the generals like Yun Zheng were not much better off. They fixed themselves on the chairs, each holding the armrests tightly. Chonghua's face turned pale, and his lips were tightly pursed.
This intense feeling of rising and falling was very similar to the crazy roller coaster that Du Heng had ridden in the amusement park when he was in his hometown. The feeling at this moment was even more intense than the crazy roller coaster!
Soon, Xiaoxiao and the others fell down. Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said, "Ugh—"
It didn't matter that he vomited, but the generals who were using spiritual energy to wash themselves to suppress their nausea could no longer hold it in. Chonghua rushed to the curtain and vomited violently, and Zhou Lianhua's angry curse came: "Chonghua! Where are you vomiting!!"
Chonghua took a while to come back to life. He hummed, "Why can't you swim more steadily?"
Zhou Lianhua was trying his best to rush forward, and he exploded when he heard this: "If you have the guts, come on! Do you know how strong the water is right now?!" Chonghua himself understood that with a physique like him, he would definitely be washed away by the current if he fell into the water.
Feng Gui groaned, and Jing Nan pinched his pulse: "Hold it! You are a demon god, you can't vomit!"
Feng Gui's face turned blue from holding back so much that he said word by word, "Who said that demon gods can't vomit?" Jing Nan's face turned pale, "You are a colorful phoenix flying in the sky, the ruler of the sky, and storms will take a detour when they see you. But when you got into the water, you vomited?"
Feng Gui felt that what Jing Nan said made sense, and his spiritual energy rolled around in his body: "Okay..."
As a result, Jing Nan turned around and vomited: "Wow——"
Feng Gui patted his back helplessly: "I asked you to say so much..."
Du Heng felt okay. He did feel a little uncomfortable, but at the moment, he felt much better than Feng Gui and Jing Nan. He could even stand up with the help of the table to wipe Xiao Xiao's mouth. Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu Mao lay flat on their backs with no hope in life: "Du Heng Heng... I'm going to die..."
Du Heng comforted him, "You won't die. It's just a small storm. You will be able to get through it soon."
After about two incense sticks, the bumpy feeling suddenly eased. Zhou Lianhua said hesitantly, "Eh? Long Jun, I think I went the wrong direction. It's not a trench in front of me, it looks like an island. Can you come out and take a look?"
Hearing Zhou Lianhua's voice, the monks climbed up with difficulty and gathered at the east window to look outside. They saw a huge shadow in the water, which really looked like land.
Xuan Yu stood outside the car with his eyes closed. He felt the direction and said, "The direction is correct."
This is strange. How come there is such a large island where there should be a trench?
Xuan Yu said: "The Chaos Sea embraces everything. It will devour some small worlds and also give birth to some small worlds. I think what we see is a small world that is taking shape." Just looking at the appearance of this small world, it may take tens of thousands of years for some climate to emerge.
Xuan Yu looked at the largest island and said to Zhou Lianhua, "Let's go to the largest island."
Feng Gui and his companions were suppressed too much in the Chaos Sea, and now the two demon gods were almost lying down. If they didn't find a place for them to rest and take a break, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.
Zhou Lianhua sped towards the island. When he was about to reach the shore, his body slowly shrank. Finally, Zhou Lianhua in human form stopped on the beach, dragging the bicycle frame.
Du Heng and Xuan Yu were the first to open the curtain and jump off the carriage. Du Heng's spiritual sense swept across the island. This was a small island. The highest mountain on the island was only more than 30 feet high. There was a mountain in the middle of the island, and there were some sparse broad-leaved trees on the mountain. Surrounding the mountain were beaches and reefs. Du Heng and his team stopped on a beach at this time.
It's called a beach, but in fact there are many huge blue-black reefs on the edge of this beach. The beach is covered with shells and conch shells. The gentle waves wash the beach, and soon the two marks left by the wheels were washed away by half.
Yun Zheng and the others walked down from the car with difficulty. The moment they landed, they felt the ground was shaking. Zhou Xiyue supported Yun Zheng with her left hand and held Lao Dao with her right hand: "Finally, I can see your weaknesses. It's not easy."
When the Zhou brothers were on land, they were often pressed to the ground by Yun Zheng and his men because of their huge bodies. This time in the sea, the fierce generals were all wilted.
Chonghua and Mao Buyan also helped each other get off the bike. Once they got to the beach, Mao Buyan lay down without any image. He kept muttering, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."
Seeing the group of people covered in dust, Du Heng felt distressed and amused: "Is everyone okay?"
Feng Gui came out from behind the curtain with a pale face. He jumped off the frame and lifted the curtain. Jing Nan then got off the car. Jing Nan's nine long and soft tails were exposed due to the shaking. He shook his tail and said, "It's so uncomfortable. I admire the demon cultivators in the sea. They can still practice normally under such fierce waves."
Feng Gui said quietly, "I think they tried to run to the shore because they couldn't stand the waves, right?"
Xuan Yu held Du Heng's hand and injected some spiritual energy into Du Heng's body: "Are you okay?" Du Heng nodded: "Yes, I'm fine."
Since he and Xuan Yu started practicing together, his cultivation has been improving. In fact, he was a little panicked. Thinking of what Wen Qiong said to him, his mind was full of: Don't be lazy, don't get something for nothing. However, he was getting something for nothing at this moment.
Soon Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu also jumped down. The two of them woke up quickly after feeling dizzy. When they jumped down, they were dazzled by the shells all over the beach. Xiaoxiao turned into a human form and called out to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu! Come and see, what beautiful shells! Look!"
Soon, the two of them were happily picking up shells on the beach, which made Feng Gui unhappy: "Why are we, who have higher cultivation than them, in such a mess?"
Jing Nan said: "Because this is the Chaos Sea, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the suppression."
Zhou Lianhua and Zhou Xiyue helped push the frame into the woods on the beach, and they found a place to set up camp. There were several species of trees growing on the island, most of which Du Heng could not name. But at this time, Du Heng could still name the trees around them.
Around them grew coconut trees as thick as a person, with bunches of green and yellow coconuts on them. Some coconuts fell to the ground and were swept away by the waves, while others took root and sprouted from their shells and turned into small coconut trees.
There were many small coconut trees around their camp. At this time, the sun was setting, and the orange sunlight shone through the coconut trees, casting swaying shadows. The temperature on the island was high, and gusts of sea breeze blew in from the sea with heat waves.
Jing Nan lazily lay on the lounge chair, squinting his eyes and looking at the sea: "Apart from the experience that made me sick, I have to admit one thing, the scenery here is pretty good."
401
After the storm, there was a layer of fish-scale clouds in the sky, and there was a red sun where the water and the sky met. The clouds were dyed golden red, and the water reflected the sky, with deep and light gold and red in sight. The sea and the sky were one color, and only the breeze was blowing on my face. This kind of scenery may not be seen many times in my life.
On this deserted path, the monks relaxed, sitting comfortably around the camp and looking at the surrounding scenery. On the beach not far away, Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu were competing to see who had picked up the most complete and beautiful conch shell. Du Heng and his friends could hear the laughter of the two children from time to time.
Xuan Yu looked around and said, "It should be safe here. Let's rest here today. I'll go find some green grass for everyone."
Hearing Xuan Yu say this, Du Heng quickly said: "Take me with you, I'll go with you." If it was the previous Du Heng, he wouldn't have the courage to say this, but now Du Heng's strength is no worse than Feng Gui and the others. With him around, Xuan Yu can be more efficient.
And the most important thing is that Du Heng has never seen the scenery under the sea!
Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then the Zhou brothers, you guys will be responsible for protecting Feng Jun and Fox God, and Du Heng and I will go into the water."
Jing Nan hummed: "I also want to see the scenery under the sea..."
Xuan Yu said: "After you take the green grass, I will take you and Xixi to have a good look." It's not that Xuan Yu is stingy, but the risk underwater is quite large. Jing Nan and the others are in the water in this state, not only can they not be helpers, they may even be a hindrance at the critical moment.
Jing Nan naturally understood this truth, he kept saying: "Go, go~"
As soon as the words fell, Du Heng and Xuan Yu flew up and headed for the sea. They flew to the air not far away, and their bodies suddenly sank. Not even a wave rose on the water surface, and the two people had disappeared on the water.
Xiaoxiao held a smooth and beautiful conch shell in his hand. He stared at the direction where Du Heng fell and blinked: "Hey? Du Hengheng and the others went into the water?"
Little Feather said, "Yes, we should go find the green grass."
Xiaoxiao looked confused: "...Aren't they going to have dinner before going down?"
Du Heng said he was going to make shrimp wontons for him, but he ran away halfway through? Is that reasonable?
The moment he entered the sea, a barrier with a diameter of ten feet was erected around Du Heng. The pale blue barrier separated the sea water, and even though Du Heng was descending rapidly, he did not feel uncomfortable or his spiritual energy was blocked.
The golden red on the sea gradually faded away, and the dark blue sea water enveloped the two people from all directions. Looking at the dark sea water in front of him, Du Heng was a little scared. People are afraid of the unknown, and Du Heng is no exception.
He felt that the ocean beneath his feet was like a huge mouth, and he didn't know what he would encounter ahead.
Xuan Yu seemed to see through Du Heng's thoughts. He said slowly, "Don't be afraid." As he said that, he took out two palm-sized shriveled things from his sleeves. They looked like fish glue and looked like mushrooms.
Du Heng subconsciously asked: "What is this?"
Xuan Yu gently sent the two things out of the barrier: "This is a jellyfish from the deep sea that can glow. It is called Kaguya Jellyfish. The dragons will use it for lighting."
After being immersed in the seawater, the Kaguya jellyfish quickly absorbed water and became round. They quickly grew from a shrunken mushroom shape to a larger and rounder shape, and their yellow-brown skin gradually expanded and changed color. Du Heng watched them slowly fade from yellow to a slightly transparent color.
Suddenly, a little milky white light appeared in the transparent internal organs of the jellyfish. The light became brighter and brighter, gradually illuminating the area several feet in front of Du Heng. This was not over yet, the jellyfish was still getting bigger and brighter, and at the same time they came alive!
Their mushroom-like caps trembled, and their tentacles hung long from below, with sparkling spiritual light flashing on them. Du Heng watched the two jellyfish fly diagonally below him. Although the two balls of light could not change the range of Du Heng's spiritual sense, they gave him great courage.
Xuan Yu sent out four more jellyfish, which swam to their left, right and in front of them. He smiled and said, "Can you see clearly now?"
It's not just that we can see clearly, it's like placing six searchlights around us with no blind spots! Du Heng smiled and said, "We can see clearly, but will our movements be too loud? Will they alarm the aquatic creatures in the sea?"
Xuan Yu chuckled and said, "I am the Dragon King. This place is still under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Clan. Under normal circumstances, sea beasts should avoid me when they see me."
Of course, this is not absolute. Many spiritual treasures and monsters will be born in the Chaos Sea. Even Xuan Yu dare not guarantee that he is the strongest existence in the water.
Du Heng smiled: "Okay, I will rely on Lord Long for the whole journey." The Xuanyu Tower Master held Du Heng's waist and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek: "As you wish!"
Du Heng and his companions did not swim straight down, but swam diagonally to avoid the turbulent current and dive forward. Du Heng could not tell how long they had been diving, he only knew that they walked a long way underwater after landing.
The seabed was not flat. There were coral reefs and schools of fish at a deeper level. The deeper they went, the more monotonous the coral reefs became and the fewer schools of fish there were. After they walked for a while, they saw a deep trench.
This ditch led far ahead. Du Heng swept his spiritual sense and saw that there was no land ahead. What appeared in front of him was a milky white water. His spiritual sense wanted to penetrate the sea water, but was blocked. This was strange. There was water that his spiritual sense could not penetrate?
Xuan Yu explained: "The Chaos Sea is boundless. Even the dragons cannot find out what is in front of the trench. No one knows what is under the white water. In recent years, no water demon cultivator who dared to explore it survived. If you see this kind of white water in the sea, you must find a way to avoid it."
Du Heng nodded: "So there is water that the dragons are helpless against."
Xuan Yu said: "Yes, there are two kinds of water in the sea that cannot be touched. One is the boundless water at the end of the trench, which the water tribe monks call white water. There is also a kind of water that is so black that you can't see the bottom, and it is thicker and more solid than ink."
Du Heng smiled and said, "I know. Is that kind of water called black water?"
Xuan Yu shook his head: "No, it's called evil water."
Du Heng was shocked when he heard this: "Bad water?! Is it the bad water I know?" It is recorded in the ancient books in the Taixu Realm that there is a kind of water in this world called bad water, which has a heavy texture and all living things will die if they touch it.
Du Heng had never seen bad water, he thought it was just a legend. He never thought that bad water actually existed in the sea!
Xuan Yu said: "It's okay, whether it is white water or dirty water, it will be fine as long as we don't touch them." When he said this, there was some worry between Xuan Yu's brows.
Du Heng asked slowly, "What's wrong?" Xuan Yu said, "When I came here a thousand years ago, the trench was dozens of times longer than it is now. Now it is only one tenth of what it was before. I think in a few years, the trench will be filled up by white water."
The living space of the aquatic creatures was compressed, and the cultivators in the water must be very anxious. No wonder the dragons were trying to get to the shore, but the shore was not safe either. Compared with the Chaos Sea, the oceans where the Taixu Realm and the aquatic creatures lived were as small as a speck of dust and could be swallowed up at any time.
Du Heng and his team found a gentle place and went down into the trench. The deepest part of the trench was limitless. The height of both sides of the place where Du Heng and his team were walking was more than fifty feet.
There are some huge skeletons in the trench, which are the skeletons left by sea monsters. The monsters regard the trench as their own burial place and sleep here quietly.
It was too deep here. After walking for several miles, Du Heng only saw black and white skeletons. Not to mention green grass, he didn't even see a fish.
Xuan Yu led Du Heng over the bones. His spiritual sense carefully scanned the bottom of the trench. "The blue wave grass will grow on the bones. It is only one inch long and dark in color. It is easy to miss it if you are not careful."
Du Heng had seen pictures of the blue wave grass in ancient books, but it was still a bit difficult for him to find it with his real sword and gun. After all, when the Saint Qing Heng was alive, he was very poor most of the time.
After searching for dozens of miles along the trench, Xuan Yu was delighted: "Found it!"
Du Heng followed his consciousness and saw a black thing growing under the curved ribs of a sea beast. It was only as thin as a hair, an inch long, and only a small piece as big as a broad bean.
This is the Bi Bo Grass?! What does it have to do with Bi Bo?! It doesn't have any spiritual energy fluctuations that a spiritual grass should have. If you don't know, you might think it's a shell stuck on a bone!
Seeing the true appearance of the green grass, Du Heng was shocked: "...It's different from what I thought..."
He and Xuan Yu moved closer to take a look, and the more they looked, the more they felt that the grass looked ugly.
Xuan Yu carefully shoveled off half of it, and left the other half on top: "The blue wave grass can prevent the cultivators on the shore from being suppressed by the Chaos Sea. It used to grow a lot, but now it's getting less and less."
Xuan Yu carefully put the grass in a conch shell and said, "It needs the nourishment of sea water. If it is placed in a jade box, it will soon turn gray and black."
Du Heng gave Xuan Yu a thumbs up: "As expected of Xiaoyu, if it were me, I wouldn't even notice it if I walked past it."
Xuan Yu was happy: "I have looked for the blue wave grass before, so I know a little about it." He stuffed the conch into the barrier, and then put it properly in his sleeve, "Let's go, let's go back."
Du Heng had long since stopped wanting to stay in the depths of the trench. It was dead silent here. If he were to look for the grass alone, he might not be able to find it even after searching for hundreds of years.
The return trip was smooth, and soon they walked out of the trench and swam towards the surface. When they flew up and hung in the air, they saw that the island they had come to was already thirty-four miles northwest of them.
Du Heng stepped on the spirit sword: "Come, Lord Dragon, I will help you fly the sword!"
Xuan Yu smiled and put his arm around Du Heng's waist: "Okay."
The azure spiritual light spread across the sea, and the two of them rushed towards the island. When they were about to approach the island, they saw a reef, and suddenly, Du Heng saw something shining with golden light among the reefs.
He looked carefully and saw what seemed to be a huge fishing net wrapped between the reefs, with something caught in it!
The spirit sword drew a beautiful arc in the sea and landed on the reef. Xuan Yu looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a fishing net entangled between the reefs, and a person was trapped in the middle of the fishing net. The person was curled up on a flat reef. He had long ice-blue hair, the upper body was a human, and the lower body was a gorgeous big fish tail!
Du Heng couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he got excited when he saw this: "Mermaid! Xiaoyu, look at the mermaid!"
Xuan Yu said in a deep voice: "This is a mermaid. He is very weak and needs to be treated quickly."
Du Heng was so excited: "So there really are mermaids! I heard that mermaids' tears can turn into pearls, is that true?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, it's true."
The author has something to say: The origin of the fishing net in this special little drama can only be understood by those cute little ones who understand.
On the Chaos Sea, a handsome young man was collecting nets on a willow-leaf boat: "One of the nets is missing... Did it catch a sea beast and get swept away?"
A gentle man with curly hair sat on the young man's boat, holding a black stick in his hand: "Just throw it away."
The young man complained: "Uncle Taishi made a fishing net that could even trap Yinglong, how come it was lost?"
The man tapped his fingers casually on the stick. "Just go back and ask Jianzhi to make a few more. His hair grows fast anyway."
Young man: “But…”
Man: "Let's go, disciple, go home. Maybe one day, your fishing net will come back again."
The willow leaf boat moved a hundred feet away in an instant, and the young man's voice could be vaguely heard: "Ah, I'm still very angry. Master will not have any share of the steamed scallops for lunch today."
Man: "...Evil disciple, watch the stick."
