Half a quarter of an hour later, the nearby sea was filled with the wreckage of a shipwreck!
All fourteen ships sank!
Not only was Fang Yun's dragon boat not damaged, but the bow was even bigger and stronger, and the ram was ten feet longer and thicker!
The scholars around the Hailang Mountains watched silently, unable to say a word.
When Fang Yun was about to collide, the other members of Fang Yun's fleet had already arrived and they also watched silently.
It wasn't until Fang Yun started heading towards the Hailang Mountains that they reacted.
“They are both ships, why are they so different?”
"Quick! We have finished the fourth poem. Let's follow Fang Xusheng into the Sea Wave Mountain Range. If we can get into the heart of the sea, we will definitely see him fighting with the strongest ships in Zong Lei's fleet! Especially since there are sea beasts in the heart of the sea, I wonder what the scene will be like!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I can't wait any longer!"
The fleet quickly headed towards the Hailang Mountains. Inspired by Fang Yun's famous poems, these scholars had an extremely high average level of poetry from the fourth poem. All the ships changed drastically. Some became particularly strong, some became particularly flexible, and some became particularly fast.
Because the title of the fourth Xuehai poem is "Driving Straight Ahead", more than half of these ships can charge short distances, far exceeding what was possible before, but far inferior to the dragon boats like Yun that can fly in the air.
On the beach in the open sea, huge ships or warships appeared one after another, and finally there were fourteen large ships lined up on the beach.
"That's... seems to be a ship from the Zong Lei fleet? Hehe, it probably encountered a shipwreck. Nothing to see."
"Eh? Where are their people? After the ship sank, we should be able to see people. Why is there no one on the fourteen ships?"
“Will it become a ghost ship?”
"Interesting! Let's go check it out!"
Thousands of people on the shore hurried towards the place where the fourteen ships were.
When a large number of people arrived nearby, the fourteen ships were still quiet, which made people feel uneasy.
"Long Kuo? Are you there? Long Kuo?"
No one on Lei Longkuo's boat responded.
After everyone shouted for a while, no one answered, and the Lei family of the Zong family finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to board the ship.
The group quickly boarded the ship and found Lei Longkuo lying on the deck. His breathing was steady, but his face was a little pale.
"It looks like nothing happened, that's good."
"Maybe not!" said Chai Leng.
"What advice do you have, Mr. Chai?"
"The Sea of Learning is just like the Mountain of Books. You need to enter with your mind. Our bodies here are actually made up of our mind. You see, Lei Longkuo's face is pale, which means his mind has become scarce. It has been worn away by a powerful force!"
"This is normal. My mind was worn out by the wind and waves, and I couldn't hold on any longer, so I fell off the boat. After returning to the beach, I woke up immediately and was not lying on the deck at all."
"His situation is different from yours. For example, in your case, you were stabbed in the body and fainted due to the pain, but you only had a wound and just lost too much blood, without much damage. Any Jinshi medical book can cure you. Lei Longkuo's situation is more like someone chopped off his hands and feet. It is not something that can be cured by ordinary medical skills. At least a great Confucian medical book combined with medicinal herbs is needed to regenerate the severed limbs."
"I see. Then... what should we do?"
"This is a sea of knowledge. We have no power and can do nothing." Chai Leng said helplessly.
"Let's go check out the others and put them together."
Then, everyone lifted the fourteen people together and laid them side by side on the beach.
These fourteen people were very similar, their breathing was steady but their faces were pale, making them look like they were dying.
Suddenly, Xue Daxueshi said, "It looks like we failed to get into the eye of the typhoon! Are there any friends from the Saints Family?"
"I am from the Meng family, and I have indeed heard of this. The eye of a typhoon is calm inside. But the wind outside is extremely strong, which can not only damage the hull, but also damage the mind. Almost every few years, someone fails to break into the eye of a typhoon, and it is said that after the failure, they will be in a coma for a while before waking up."
“That’s true.”
"The fourteen of them must have failed in their joint attempt to break into the eye of the typhoon."
Everyone nodded.
However, a loudmouthed person from the Zong Lei fleet suddenly said, "The fourteen of them did not enter the eye of the typhoon. They had already passed the typhoon wall and headed to the Hailang Mountains with the others. As long as they pass the typhoon wall, they can't go back to the eye of the typhoon. Something must have happened!"
"We must get to the bottom of this!" The Zong and Lei families were excited.
The two friends, playing chess and playing music, stood aside and looked at each other with gloomy faces. When they saw the fourteen ships, both of them felt bad, but they didn't say anything.
Suddenly, someone shouted in a thunderous voice, "Do you remember what the piano and chess friends said just now, that these two shameless people failed to stop Fang Xusheng, and the Zong Lei fleet sent more people to the Hailang Mountain Range to sink the dragon ship? Everyone, calculate the time, it's about the same as what the piano and chess friends said, just over two quarters of an hour!"
"Yes! The time has come! My friends in music and chess, Fang Xusheng is not here, why are there so many people from Zong Lei's fleet back?"
"I understand! These fourteen ships were most likely sunk by Fang Xusheng! They must have failed to gain anything in return!"
"Haha, there's really no need to worry about Fang Xu Sheng. These scoundrels are no match for Fang Xu Sheng!"
"No mistake!"
"I don't believe it if it's someone else, but if it's Fang Xusheng, it's very likely!"
Many people breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed.
"But why are all fourteen of them unconscious? Why do they seem to have failed in the eye of a typhoon?"
"I don't know about that. Is it related to Fang Xusheng's fourth poem?"
"Very likely."
"No! Is it related to Zhixue Shi?" Xue Daxueshi, who had previously fallen out with the Zong and Lei families, suddenly said.
"Mr. Xue, please tell us one by one."
"Fang Xusheng once entered the eye of a typhoon, and his ship was attacked by a strange typhoon. You all know this, right?"
"indeed."
"I heard that they caught a boat full of fish." Everyone nodded.
"What is the full text of the poem of wisdom? Let me repeat it: 'The ancients spared no effort in learning, and the hard work of youth was completed in old age. What is learned from books is always shallow, and one must practice to fully understand it.' The most important part of this poem is practice! Why is the dragon boat getting stronger? If it stays there, will it get stronger? No! It must be because of the wind and waves that the dragon boat gradually becomes stronger! In other words, the dragon boat can absorb the power of wind and waves for its own use! Therefore, the impact of the dragon boat has a force similar to that of the eye of a typhoon!"
"That makes sense! I was lucky enough to pass the typhoon wall, but my boat was just overturned by the wind and waves. I have seen the way Fang Xusheng's dragon boat sails, and it feels like the wind and waves are helping the dragon boat, which is very strange."
"If this is true, then these fourteen people will probably need to rest for a year or so before they can recover! Injuring the mind is more terrible than injuring the literary courage!"
"Since Fang Xusheng has sunk these evils, he must have entered the Sea Wave Mountain Range now, right?"
"I hope he can catch the supreme literary mind. It is said that there is a fountain of talent in the sea of learning."
The Wave Mountains are a strange mountain range made up of sea water. The dark mountains are constantly changing, and countless peaks seem to be flowing.
For other ships, the Sea Wave Mountain Range is an almost insurmountable chasm, but for the enemy ships it is very easy. Once the waterway is blocked, they can simply leave the water and fly over the mountains easily.
Not long after, Fang Yun arrived at the top of a mountain of waves. Below the mountain, currents appeared that were obviously different in color from ordinary seawater, as if there were dozens of rivers in the sea.
