"According to the star positioning techniques taught by the high priest, we should be arriving in Nanzhou soon!" Qingyang, who was sitting on the deck, holding a Si Nan and letting the handle of the spoon rotate continuously, said affirmatively.
"But we have been sailing on the sea for more than half a year, and I have heard you say this for more than half a year!" Jia Yi, with his bare chest, pulled the rope of the sail with Che Shao. Even though life in the mountain and sea world was so hard, he had not lost any weight.
"This time it's really coming!"
Qingyang said this in a decisive tone, but as soon as he finished speaking, a look of sadness appeared on his face.
"What I'm more worried about is! Has Fengdu arrived?"
“After all, in this mountain and sea… no one controls his own destiny!” Qingyang put down the Si Nan in his hand and looked into the distance.
Jia Yi tied the rope tightly, leaned against the side of the boat, took out the few remaining tobacco leaves he had, took a deep sniff without smoking, and then carefully put them away.
"Hey, if you ask me, if we can't go back, then we can just go back to the Dahuan Dynasty. It wouldn't be bad to go back and be the ruler of a country!"
"After all, there is no other way, right? Sometimes you just have to accept your fate! Lao Zhu, Chen Chong, Lan Zi and the others can't go back either!"
When he said this, Jia Yi's voice suddenly dropped: "I can't even take a bone back with me!"
On this day, there was a thick fog on the sea. In the fog, a large sailing ship finally broke through the water. Qingyang and Jia Yi, standing on the deck, finally saw Nanzhou.
The fog dissipated, revealing the mountains, one upon another, stretching endlessly.
After landing, the three men ran down the boat along the rope and ran along the gravel beach, shouting and screaming.
After two days of rest, they continued to sail southward along the direction of the South Continent, looking for the sea and mountains that they were familiar with.
Finally, after a month, we found the direction of Yumin Kingdom.
Seeing a familiar figure hovering in the sky, hundreds and thousands of feathered creatures hovering in the sky, chasing the waves and catching sea fish, Qingyang and Jia Yi stood on the deck and laughed at each other.
The feathered creature, dressed in linen short clothes, with a bird's head and a human body, spread its wings and flew around Qingyang and his boat. It opened its mouth and spoke spiritual words in an accent that they were familiar with.
After experiencing this journey through mountains and seas, it felt like a lifetime in just a few years.
The Yumin Kingdom has changed a lot. Its population has increased, and it now owns two cities. There is also a town on the coast. In the city, one can even see traces of mermaids, intelligent monsters, and even a big demon that has transformed into a human.
I heard that these big monsters were able to shed their demon bodies and transform into humans only after swallowing the transformation pills refined by the mermaids.
The market is extremely lively, far surpassing the former Monster Market in Flying Squirrel City. It is a bustling night market with monsters surging and lanterns flashing, as if hundreds of ghosts are parading at night, which has a unique atmosphere.
After staying for one night, they headed directly to Fengshen Mountain in Yumin Kingdom. The people of Yumin Kingdom said that someone was waiting for them there.
When flying over the border of the Yumin Kingdom from the sky, you can see the crisscrossing farmlands, villages, towns, and animal farms below. Hundreds and thousands of Yumin people spread their wings and soar into the sky.
There was even a magical winged wind rider who could ride the wind and control lightning. It seemed as if so many years had passed since Qingyang and the others left last time.
Then we arrived at the magical and beautiful Fengshen Mountain. The large jungle at the foot of the mountain had been completely reclaimed, and there were houses and towns all around the mountain. Then we arrived at the square altar halfway up the mountain, under the tall Yumin Kingdom stone tablet.
During the dinner, they saw Zhang Heming who had returned from his trip with the Wind Rider, and two other people who had come down from the human world.
"So? Fengdu hasn't arrived yet?" When Qingyang heard this, he suddenly lost his appetite even though there was a table full of delicious food.
Jia Yi put down the bronze cup he was holding, with a gloomy look on his face: "We are already late, and we haven't arrived at Fengdu yet. It seems that we have already..."
Zhang Heming seemed to have not spoken for a long time. The three of them had completely turned into wild beasts in the jungle. They stuttered and spoke for a long time before they could speak clearly: "No... No... I... I mean..."
"Fengdu... he is now in the Mermaid Country!"
"He has also...has also...already written a letter to the Lord of the Red Flame Kingdom!"
At this time, Zhang Heming bit his tongue and spit out in one breath: "It should be here in two days!"
Qingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! That's good!"
I just don’t know whether it means that it’s good that the person is okay, or it’s good that he can go back!
Jia Yize looked at Qingyang and the two foreigners beside him, who seemed to exude a beastly aura. They really looked like demons, barbarians, and witches. No one could recognize that they were people who had received a complete education and came from a highly civilized society.
“It seems like it’s not easy for you either!”
After listening to the experiences of the three of them, Zhang Heming suddenly realized that one person was missing: "Zhu Rong... also... died?"
Qingyang stood up, filled the glass of wine in his hand, and placed it on the empty seat beside him: "Well! In order to save the two of us... he... died!"
"I still remember the last time, it was me, Fengdu, and Zhurong. The three of us traveled through the mountains, crossed the sea, slayed the dragon, and entered the underworld..."
Qingyang drank the wine in one gulp and shouted, "How comfortable and carefree!"
The three of them got drunk in the Yumin Kingdom on Fengshen Mountain and did not wake up until the next night.
Only at this time did I think of going to the beach to welcome Fengdu, and then hurried to the sea.
The three of them spent a day rushing to another city in the Yumin Kingdom, standing on the shore of the sea, and found that Fengdu had not yet arrived.
"There is not a single shadow of a ship on the sea!" Qingyang stood on a huge rock by the sea and looked into the distance. His divine eyes shone with light, as if penetrating the endless distance.
"Do you think this guy is fascinated by the beauties in the Mermaid Country and won't come again?"
"Don't tell me, he is the most reserved among us. Last time he said that we were drooling over the Queen of the Mermaid Country. I think he is the one who is horny deep down. This time he came to the Mountain and Sea Realm, saying that he had a purpose, and it was to target the Queen of the Mermaid Country!"
The three of them judged Fengdu's personality and character, and then came to a conclusion.
"But this guy is always punctual. It seems...!"
Jia Yi was about to say something when suddenly there was movement on the sea.
With a loud bang, the calm sea suddenly exploded, creating huge waves that swept around and even hit the rocky beach, soaking the three people on the beach like drowned rats.
A three-story bone ship broke through the sea surface, emerged from the seabed, and appeared above the sea.
The three of them could tell at a glance that it was a magical weapon, but no one had expected such a large magical weapon. Anyone who could control such a magical weapon was definitely not someone with low cultivation.
With the impact of the waves, the ship approached the coast at an extremely fast speed.
Accompanied by wind, rain and huge waves, a man in a black dragon silk robe, steered the gorgeously and exquisitely decorated bone ship, emitting bursts of spiritual light. He stepped on the ghost head decoration on the bow of the ship, stopped the ship, bent down from high above the ship and looked at the three of them.
The ship parked in front of the three of them looked like a tall building on a city wall, and Fang Xiu was standing on top of the city wall.
"Why do I seem to hear someone saying bad things about me?"
Qingyang, Jia Yi and Tianshi shouted at the same time, with excitement and ecstasy on their faces.
"Fengdu!"
"Fengdu!"
“You’re finally here!”
Fang Xiu stepped on the ghost head and came to the huge and gorgeous bone ship. He flicked his long sleeves and laughed: "I'm here to pick you up!"
