Chapter 211 Extra
There had just been a heavy rain not long ago, and now the dark clouds had dispersed to reveal the blue sky and white clouds. The sea surface sparkled under the clear sky, and the sea breeze made people drowsy. The waves gently hit the white beach, and the coconut trees swayed not far away. Du Heng and his group were having a barbecue party on the island.
They had been to this island before, and they found Yan Huaizhen near this island. At that time, they thought the scenery on the island was very beautiful. Xuan Yu told Du Heng that he would bring him here to stay for a while when he was free in the future. But later he went to the Dragon Clan and returned to the Taixu Realm, and he has not had time to come here in recent years.
There is a big grill under the coconut tree, and a row of shells are placed on the grill. This is a kind of scallop called moon shell. Its shell is very smooth, one side is brown-red like the rising sun, and the other side is milky white, like a full moon.
Each of them was bigger than a palm, and their shells were wide open, with the milky white side facing down and turned gray by the charcoal fire. In the concave shells, their plump meat was full of juice, which was bubbling.
The most delicious part of this shell is the meat in the middle, which is the most plump during this period. Next to the meat in the middle, there is a crescent-shaped egg sac and sperm sac. The egg sac is orange-red and the sperm sac is white. They taste delicate and delicious.
Smelling this, Du Heng felt like he could eat a dozen!
Xiaoxiao was filled with emotion. He sighed, "Shells are so good." Du Heng, who was cutting the scallop meat with small scissors, asked in confusion, "Huh? Why are shells so good?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Look, it has to bring its own bowl before being eaten by others. How nice." Du Heng chuckled, "The scallops will cry when they hear you say that! The scallops will be grilled in a little while. Didn't you say you wanted to eat scallops? Go ask Lao Dao and the others to cut some scallops."
Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled. If he was in demon form, he would be shaking his wings and looking proud. However, he was in human form now. The handsome boy wore a bright yellow robe and was as bright as the rising sun. Xiaoxiao pushed the issue further and said, "I want to stir-fry the scallops with celery. Stir-fry celery, okay?"
The scallops Du Heng mentioned are also a kind of shells in the sea. The shells are dark blue in color and look like a small fan. There is a ball of white and tender meat inside the scallops, which tastes sweet and delicious when stir-fried. Once, when Du Heng was cooking celery and shrimp, he suddenly had an idea and used scallop meat instead of shrimp. As a result, the celery and scallop meat that he stir-fried was eaten by Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao has remembered this dish ever since.
Du Heng said with a smile: "Okay, can I put some cashews in it for you?" Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Okay, okay!"
Jing Nan opened the curtain and looked at Du Heng, with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yu's suggestion is right, we really should take him out for a walk." Feng Gui continued: "Yes, everyone has had a hard time recently. If he stays in the village, I'm afraid Du Heng won't be able to bear it."
Father Du and Mother Du are gone. They lived for more than 150 years and died of old age with a smile on their faces. After they came to Taixu Realm, Du Heng took them to travel all over the world. The Feather Tribe, the Beast Tribe, the Sea Tribe, and the Human Tribe, as long as the conditions were right, he would take Father Du and his friends on a tour.
The old couple felt very relieved when they passed away. If they were still ordinary people in their hometown, they would not have lived to be 150 years old, and they might not have survived until they were 70 or 80. Just like what Du's father said, they had enjoyed everything they should have enjoyed in this life, and they had seen through everything they should have seen through. Seeing that Du Heng was loved by so many people, their life was worth it and they would not have any regrets.
Father Du and his family left one after another. Although he knew they were happy, the pain of losing his family still made Du Heng depressed. Before coming to this island, Du Heng hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
Du Heng and his friends also came here with the generals, Chonghua, Yunzheng and others. They all put down their work to accompany Du Heng. When there are many people, Du Heng will forget the pain of losing his parents. Not long after arriving on the island, Du Heng was busy preparing a barbecue.
Feng Gui reached out and touched Jing Nan's head: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to sleep for a while?"
Xiaoyu hadn't brought back the green grass yet, and the pressure from the Chaos Sea was suffocating Fenggui and the others. As long as Xuanyu brought back the green grass from the sea, they could happily go outside the car to eat the lobster shells that Duheng had grilled.
As they were talking, a giant green dragon suddenly rushed out of the water and rushed towards the beach. Chonghua and the others went to meet it: "Dragon Lord, have you found the blue wave grass?"
Xuan Yu fell on the beach and turned into a human. He shook his head regretfully. Du Heng asked, "Didn't we leave some of it there back then?"
Xuan Yu said depressedly: "The place where we found the blue wave grass was occupied by the white water." Let alone looking for the blue wave grass, the sea trench has almost been swallowed by the white water. Xuan Yu did not dare to take the risk and could only retreat first.
Seeing the disappointed looks in the generals' eyes, he said, "There is another trench more than 500 miles to the southeast. I will go there to look for it later."
As soon as Xuan Yu finished speaking, an objecting voice came from the side: "Lord Dragon, you can't go there." The speaker was the merman Yan Lingyuan. After learning that Du Heng and the others had arrived on the island, Yan Lingyuan brought his Taoist partner and children here to meet up with Du Heng and the others.
Nuo Nuo has forgotten that he would not let go of Du Heng when they were little. Now he only knows to chase Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu Mao and call them brother. Du Heng can only lure him over with grilled prawns.
Let's get back to the point. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yan Lingyuan said, "Lord Dragon, you don't know that the trench is completely different from what it was back then. The white water has taken over the trench, and it is full of sea beasts. Over the years, we, the mermaids, have not dared to approach there when we hunt."
Xuan Yu said: "If it was just a sea beast, I should..."
Yan Lingyuan shook his head: "Those sea beasts are very powerful. I suspect that the white water has occupied the sea beasts' original habitat, and the sea beasts in the deep sea have all run to the shallow sea. To be honest, even if I face the sea beasts, I have no chance of winning. And there are not just one or two sea beasts over there, once there are sea beasts, there will be a large group."
Feng Gui said: "Xiao Yu, don't take the risk. Otherwise, Nan Nan and I will take the Lowering Spirit Pill. Although we can't use too much spiritual energy, at least it won't be so uncomfortable." After taking the Lowering Spirit Pill, their cultivation will become no different from that of ordinary people, but conversely, the pressure of the Chaos Sea will have no effect on them.
Yan Huaizhen said seriously: "We are just here for fun. This area is also the territory of the mermaids. There are mermaids patrolling here, so there won't be any risks."
Everyone thought that taking the Spiritual Descending Pill would be more effective than asking Xuan Yu to go to the trench to find the Blue Wave Grass. Xuan Yu listened to everyone's words and said nothing. After a while, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Du Heng called out to everyone: "The scallops are ready! Come and eat!"
Hearing this, Chonghua and the others rushed to the grill with a roar. Du Heng didn't like to use strong flavors when grilling seafood. Fresh seafood could be most delicious after the simplest charcoal grilling. If everyone felt tired of eating, he prepared various dipping sauces on the side, and applied them on the seafood to change the taste with every bite.
Everyone loves this kind of seafood buffet. After all, it is next to the sea and you can just go to the sea and catch whatever you want to eat anytime.
The barbecue lasted from day to night, the generals drank and ate seafood, and finally fell to the ground. The campfire crackled, and the nocturnal coconut crabs began to appear slowly.
Du Heng looked at the coconut crabs moving slowly beside the campfire and smiled: "Chonghua and the others said they were going to catch coconut crabs at night, but they all got drunk."
Xuan Yu responded, "Yeah." Long Jun's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were blurry, and he looked like he was about to get drunk. However, Du Heng was happy just looking at him. He patted Xuan Yu's shoulder and said, "Xiao Yu, stop pretending. I know you are not drunk."
Xuan Yu's eyes gradually became clear, and he smiled embarrassedly: "You saw through it?" Du Heng snuggled up to him: "I've been with you for so long, don't I know what you're thinking? Do you want to go find the green grass while everyone else is asleep?"
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng's waist, and he leaned over to kiss Du Heng: "There are countless changes in the Chaos Sea. Nan Nan and Xi Xi are used to using spiritual energy, so they must feel uncomfortable when their cultivation is suppressed suddenly. If I go now, I will be there by dawn. Tomorrow I can let them eat the green grass."
Du Heng rubbed Xuan Yu's shoulder and said, "Take me with you."
There is no need to explain the reason, Xuan Yu understands it all. Hearing Du Heng say this, Xuan Yu laughed: "Okay, Xiao Heng, have you ever ridden a blue dragon?"
There was a slight sound of water entering the sea, and a green spiritual light quickly rushed to the southeast. Feng Gui sat up straight in the woods, looking at the sea and shaking his head: "Really, I am left alone to watch so many drunkards again."
The green dragon broke through the sea and sped away, with a layer of green barrier surrounding the dragon's body. Du Heng leaned on the dragon's horn. At this time, the sea was dark and the night wind was a little cold. When the wind and waves came towards him, the barrier helped him block them all.
With his lover under him, Du Heng felt particularly warm. As long as he was with Xuan Yu, he felt safe no matter where he was.
Xuan Yu's speed was not slow, but the wind and waves on the sea were still a bit strong. It didn't take long for Xuan Yu to dive into the sea. As soon as he entered the sea, the surroundings immediately turned into deep darkness.
Xuan Yu comforted him, "If you feel scared, just close your eyes and take a rest. I promise, as soon as you open your eyes, we will be at the trench."
Du Heng had drunk some wine, and at this moment, he was a little tipsy. His body was a little shaky, but his mind was still clear. Hearing Xuan Yu say this, Du Heng said, "Xiao Yu, thank you."
Xuan Yu was confused by this mindless thank you: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Du Heng said: "After mom and dad passed away, you have been trying hard to make me happy. Thank you, if it weren't for you and Nan Nan, I don't know what I would do." As soon as he finished speaking, Du Heng felt a gentle spiritual energy brushing over him.
Du Heng rubbed the spiritual energy and said, "In fact, I am not as weak as you think. Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of nature. If my parents have any regrets in this life, it is that I have not been able to give them a grandchild. However, with Xiaoxiao and them, my parents are very satisfied. As their child, my fate with them has come to an end, and I don't feel any regrets."
He understood the truth, but it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sad when he saw the two old men turning from two living people into two graves on the South Mountain.
Du Heng lay sideways with his hand as a pillow, and with his other hand he gently stroked Xuan Yu's mane: "Life must go on, there is no need to be sad about the passing of time."
Xuan Yu replied: "Yes, sooner or later, we will die. Living every day well is the real life."
Even for cultivators, it is inevitable to face birth, aging, sickness and death. Now that the Great Void Realm has been weakened too much by the Chaos Sea, it may not last for many years before the sea water swallows up the earth and everyone will have to go to the sea to feed the fish.
Du Heng's voice gradually weakened, and Xuan Yu kept paying attention to his breath. Du Heng closed his eyes and fell asleep with even breathing, and Xuan Yu's dragon tail swung faster.
Du Heng had a nice dream. In the dream, he went to a beautiful place. There was a huge tree in the dream, and there were colorful flowers under the tree. He wanted to get closer, but he woke up.
Xuan Yu had already reached the trench he mentioned. Just as Yan Lingyuan said, the trench was occupied by white water. With a glance, he could see a milky white area not far away. That was the white water that was feared by the sea monsters. To be honest, Du Heng didn't think the white water was that scary. If he had the chance, he would like to get closer and observe.
Xuan Yu turned into a human form. He floated in the sea water and looked around. Then he frowned in confusion: "Strange."
Du Heng knew what he was wondering about. Didn't Yan Lingyuan say that there would be many sea beasts in the trench? But after he arrived here, he didn't feel the breath of sea beasts. It was very peaceful here, and you could see schools of fish.
This place is more peaceful than the last time he came. When he was here last time, the trench was covered with blue-black reefs. Now it is full of colorful corals, which looks quite dreamy.
Du Heng said: "Don't worry about these, let's go to the bottom of the trench and take a look." The important thing is to find the green wave grass and go back quickly.
Xuan Yu responded, and he was ready to take Du Heng down to the trench. At this moment, the fish around him started to move frantically. Xuan Yu only saw countless fish coming towards him, and he turned into a human form and quickly protected Du Heng: "Be careful!"
With a quick glance of his spiritual sense, Xuan Yu quickly understood why the fish were rushing towards them. A huge golden fishing net fell from the sky and covered the surrounding sea area for several miles. The fishing net sank to the bottom, and the fish, shrimps and shellfish caught in the net moved wildly and squeezed each other.
Xuan Yu felt a huge pressure. Even a master like him was completely helpless when being squeezed by the fishing net and the fish school! He sent his spiritual sense to the fishing net, but the fishing net actually bounced his spiritual sense back! That would have been fine, but he found that the fishing net looked very familiar!
The last time I saw this fishing net was on Yan Huaizhen. He collected the huge and gentle fishing net, and in the final duel with Taishi Xuanwan, the fishing net sank into the passage with Taishi Xuanwan.
Xuan Yu was shocked: "We may have encountered something difficult."
He hadn't felt so frightened for a long time. Both the fishing net and the 'person' casting the fishing net gave Xuan Yu a huge pressure. Since the birth of Long Jun, he had never been caught in a net like a small fish.
If it was only Xuan Yu that was caught, that would be fine, but there were also countless fish, shrimps and shellfish caught in the net. The fish, big and small, came towards Xuan Yu in panic, and Xuan Yu could only smell the fishy smell, which was really not very pleasant.
Xuan Yu was about to struggle. He said to Du Heng, "Hold my horn. I'll float up and take a look."
The fishing net was like a curtain coming down from above. The stupid fish were afraid of the fishing net and only knew to escape to places where they could not see the net. At this time, if they wanted to avoid being trapped by the school of fish and getting injured, they had to float up.
Du Heng grasped the dragon horn in one hand and drew out the sword with the other: "Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yu rushed towards the water.
After passing through the panicked school of fish, they saw a huge silk net floating in the sea. The net looked very beautiful when it was spread out in the water. If you ignore the people inside the net, the net is like a veil or a curtain, and it is as soft as hair that you want to touch.
As soon as he hit the net, Xuan Yu felt the pressure coming from the net. Fortunately, the net was relatively soft, and the pressure did not cause him any substantial harm.
The mesh of the fishing net looks very big, but it is really difficult to break out of the mesh. The fishing net is always suspended one foot above Xuan Yu's head, and it seems that he can touch it with his hand.
After a while, the sea surface became brighter and brighter, and it seemed that it was daybreak outside. Xuan Yu felt the net tightening, and the force binding him became stronger and stronger, and there was an upward force dragging him. This saved Xuan Yu some effort.
He and Du Heng both looked up at the water surface, where a small black dot was floating. As they got closer to the sea, the dot grew larger and larger, looking like a small boat.
Finally, the fishing net broke through the water, with Xuan Yu holding the net on his head and a few fish jumping under Du Heng's feet. They looked at the culprit on the water through the net.
There was a ten-foot-long willow-leaf boat on the water. On the boat was a handsome young man in a black robe, with long black hair flowing down his back. When the fishing net broke the water, he was still singing: "The clouds are white and the sky is blue~"
Xuan Yu and his friends had seen many beauties, Feng Gui and Xiao Xiao were the best among them, but they had to admit that this young man's appearance was no less beautiful than Feng Gui's.
This young man had an outstanding temperament, but what he did seemed so down-to-earth. He was holding the line of the fishing net in his hand, and his gorgeous robe was tied tightly with a red strap. At this moment, he was bending over and stepping on the side of the willow-leaf boat, apparently collecting the net.
Xuan Yu and Du Heng didn't expect that their first meeting with the instigator would be so...dramatic. Xuan Yu looked at the young man warily, and after looking at him, he said a fact sadly: "I... am no match for him."
Not only was Xuan Yu no match for the young man, even if Du Heng was added, the two of them combined were no match for the young man. Xuan Yu was very confident in his feelings. If the young man attacked, he could kill himself and Du Heng instantly.
Xuan Yu felt a little regretful. He didn't expect his luck to be so bad. It would be fine if he died, but he couldn't let Du Heng take risks! Thinking of this, Xuan Yu looked at the young man with murderous eyes.
Before the young man could make a move, a girl with bright eyes and white teeth appeared from the boat. The girl frowned and tugged at the young man's sleeve: "Qingqing, he has murderous aura, do you need me to kill him?"
The young man didn't seem to expect that he had caught a dragon and a person in one go. Hearing what the little girl said, he quickly came to his senses: "Oh, sorry! I'll let you out right now. And Huahua, I've told you so many times that you can't kill people without a reason."
