Su Yun swam along the sea navigation map and transformed into a young Kun to travel in the sea, which was less tiring than flying in the sky like Tianpeng. However, he still could not catch up with Yuan Shuo's fleet until nightfall.
At night, there are many giant monsters on the sea. Some of them live in huge clam shells, have human bodies and golden hair, and hold fist-sized pearls in their hands. Some of them have snake hair, human bodies but many legs, like giant octopuses walking on the water.
Some have four wings on their bodies, flying from the water and soaring into the sky. Others are like sea monsters with huge eyes on their heads, shining in the sea and illuminating the seabed.
There are all kinds of strange sea monsters. Although the Kun that Su Yun transformed into is also six meters long, it is still much smaller than these sea monsters.
"Our North Sea is still safe!"
Su Yun was very careful and didn't dare to sleep at all. He forced himself to hurry on and thought to himself, "We don't have these monsters in the North Sea!"
Upon hearing this, Yingying hit him on the head with the book and said angrily, "The giant monsters in the ocean are no match for the monsters in the North Sea! The giant monsters in the North Sea can compete with the old man in Tianshiyuan!"
Su Yun smiled and said, "I have lived in Tianmen Town since I was a child. I often go to the North Sea to collect traps and catch blue rainbow crabs. Every time I go there, I am safe and sound. I have never encountered any sea monsters or monsters. The North Sea is very safe!"
Yingying was furious: "The North Sea to the north of Tianshiyuan is also called the Endless Sea. It is infinite and you can never reach the end. In ancient times, many demons escaped from there! Only you feel safe!"
…
The two quarreled and avoided the giant sea monster.
Kun is good at swimming and is much faster than a sea dragon. By daybreak, Su Yun estimated that he had swum two to three thousand miles. When he surfaced, he saw Yuan Shuo's ships in sight.
He breathed a sigh of relief, swam under the two cargo ships behind, suddenly jumped out of the sea, turned into a roc, flapped his wings and flew into the air, catching up with the building ship.
Su Yun swooped down, and the naval spiritualists on the ship hurriedly took a defensive posture. The Tianpeng that Su Yun transformed into spread its wings, slowed down, and then dispersed from the Tianpeng Cave.
His body returned to normal, he fell from the air, grabbed a cable and slid down, landing safely on the deck.
"Su Shaoshi is back!"
The Tiandao Academy scholars on the deck were surprised and delighted, and gathered around him. Su Yun gave them a brief account of his experiences along the way, hiding the details of Yinglong and the agreement between Su Yun and the Kun woman.
Everyone was dazzled and amazed by what they heard, and they praised it again and again.
Bai Yuelou said: "When the island sank and the shipwreck occurred, we fished out a spiritualist who was from the Great Qin."
Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he quickly asked: "Where is that person? I have something to ask him!"
Li Zhuxian said: "The Great Qin spiritualist is extremely powerful. He has already reached the Liyuan realm and has cultivated to the Lizhu. After we rescued him, he suddenly became violent and planned to kill the Shuiheng leader and seize the boat, so that we would work for him. The senior sister aroused the devil in him, and Uncle Jiao took the opportunity to kill him."
The senior sister she mentioned was Wutong.
Su Yun was surprised and looked at Wutong. Although Wutong was very powerful, she was still at the Yuandong realm. Even if her ability was extremely high, it was impossible for her to control a strong man at the Liyuan realm so easily.
You know, the strength of a spiritualist at the Liyuan realm of Daqin is almost the same as that of a spiritualist at the Yuanshuo Tianxiang realm!
"That Daqin spiritualist has a bad character and is full of demons. He is not as good as Yuan Shuo's spiritualist of the same level."
Wutong seemed to see his doubts and said, "His mind is more susceptible to the awakening of evil, and easier for me to control. If my cultivation was a little stronger, I could order him to die with just one word."
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that Yuan Shuo is indeed superior to the Qin Dynasty and other countries. The old saints' unique skills are unique."
Yu Qingluo was greatly encouraged when he heard this.
“But it didn’t help.”
Wutong said calmly: "To me, no matter whether you are practicing the old sacred skills or the new ones, your state of mind is vulnerable. Your Dao heart will shatter at the first touch."
Su Yun, Bai Yuelou and the others looked unhappy. Wutong looked around and sneered, "You don't believe it?"
Her magic power exploded, and immediately everyone on the boat began to develop inner demons. Bai Yuelou was the first to succumb, laughing loudly, pinching her fingers and twisting her head while singing and dancing. Li Zhuxian was the second to succumb, followed by Ye Luo and others.
Li Muge's sword heart was steady and motionless, but Wutong activated his magic power to increase his magic power. Li Muge also laughed and joined the dancing crowd.
Su Yun has been practicing the old sage's secret skills since he was young, resisting desperately and striving to purify his soul.
Suddenly, Wutong broke into his spiritual world without him knowing when. She was wearing a thin red gauze and her jade feet were lightly lifted, revealing her snow-white skin.
Su Yun was already fourteen years old, and his sexual desire was gradually rising. Seeing this situation, his Taoist heart was broken, and Wutong immediately took advantage of the opportunity and started singing and dancing happily.
Wutong smiled, but suddenly the smile froze on his face and his eyes fell on Yu Qingluo.
Yu Qingluo's mind was extremely stable. No matter how hard she searched for the devil in her soul, she could not find any trace of it. She could not help but feel awe-inspired: "This little girl from Huoyun Cave seems to have the mind of a saint. I cannot penetrate her at all!"
She dispersed her magic power and did not take Yu Qingluo seriously. Although Yu Qingluo had a strong heart for Taoism, his cultivation was still weak. Moreover, Yu Qingluo's main training was the unique skills of the old saints, so his strength was also weak.
Su Yun and the others came to their senses and were shocked. Even Su Yun became much more honest and no longer addressed Wu Tong as "senior brother" all the time. Instead, he was polite to Wu Tong and always called her "senior sister".
Of course, in front of Ye Luo and others, Su Yun always called him "senior brother".
In the past few days, Su Yun taught everyone the various star techniques and cave display methods that he used to comprehend the seventy-two caves in the sky. He also taught the Tiandao Academy scholars how to determine the location of each cave in the sky and helped them open the seventy-two caves in the sky.
Opening up the seventy-two caves in heaven may seem simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.
The data of each person's seventy-two caves are not consistent, because the spiritual world of each spiritualist is different, so it needs to be recalculated.
But fortunately, they are all scholars of the Tiandao Academy and are extremely intelligent. They basically do not need Su Yun's help to determine the locations of their respective seventy-two caves.
Even if the direction is determined, it is extremely difficult to open up. How much can be opened up depends entirely on each person's cultivation.
The scholars entered the Wenyuan Pavilion of Tiandao Academy and checked the books. One of them suddenly asked, "Tiandao Academy scholars, why are there only a few of us?"
When he said this, everyone was surprised.
Every year, Tiandao Academy would select the most outstanding 10 to 20 scholars from all over the country. As the number of such scholars accumulates, there are now around 200 scholars in Tiandao Academy. As for those with higher levels of cultivation, they are often sent to various places to serve as officials.
However, since these scholars entered the school, they have not seen any other scholars from the Tiandao Academy, which is really strange.
"Didn't the young historian tell you? Qiu Shuijing's reform failed, and more than half of the Tiandao Academy scholars followed him to reform. The remaining Tiandao Academy scholars followed Qiu Shuijing to Lingnan."
Wutong said: "The emperor dismissed them from their posts and convicted them of robbery. Their Heavenly Dao orders were also taken back. The twenty of you are the last scholars of the Heavenly Dao Academy."
Li Muge, Bai Yuelou and others felt heavy in their hearts and looked at Su Yun.
Su Yun looked up and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me? I don't need to tell you these things. Just go abroad and study hard. If the sky falls, I will hold it up for you!"
The sea journey was long, and even though the sea dragon was very fast, they still had to sail on the sea for six or seven days before they saw land.
The head of the Water Balance said, "Sir Su, the Great Qin is ahead."
Su Yun and others came to the bow and looked towards Daqin, only to see huge pieces of land floating in the sky, like fragments of a planet.
The most shocking thing is that one of the huge pieces of land is floating above the territory of the Qin Kingdom!
On that piece of continental fragment, there is a magnificent city, which is even more magnificent than the one in the East!
Between this floating land and the continent, there are various magnificent buildings. Those buildings connect the land and the city in the sky, and are extremely prosperous.
Su Yun looked from afar and even saw countless towns!
"That is the kingdom of Qin, Yundu."
The head of the Water Balance said, "Shaoshi, I, Yuan Shuo, have an embassy in Yundu. Shaoshi only needs to go to the embassy, and the Shaoshi of the Supervisory Department will take over. I can only send Shaoshi to land, not to Yundu. The currency in circulation in Daqin is Qinghong coins, but the people do not use Wuzhu coins. If Shaoshi wants to buy something, he should not use Wuzhu coins or notes."
Su Yun bowed to express his gratitude, and the Shuiheng official quickly returned the greeting.
The tower ship entered the Daqin Haiyi and docked at the pier. Su Yun looked back and saw that the sea area around the Haiyi Wharf was bustling with tower ships and large battleships shuttling back and forth, transporting goods. It was extremely prosperous and even busier than Yuan Shuo's Haiyi Wharf.
"Young Master, there is one more thing!"
The head of the Water Balance stood on the ship, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young Master, you must be careful of some people with Yuan Shuo's face."
Su Yun was puzzled, and the Shuiheng leader said, "They converted to Daqin. They don't worship their ancestors, but only worship the gods of Daqin. They just hate that they have the face of Yuanshuo people. They treat us Yuanshuo people more cruelly than the Semites. Shaoshi must be careful of them! The Semites may leave you a chance to live, but if they get the chance, they will definitely kill you."
Su Yun kept it in mind and thanked him again.
"If Shao Shi has any difficulties, please go to the Overseas Yuanhui."
Shui Heng waved goodbye and said, "The old boss of Yuanhui is very powerful and well-connected. Maybe he can help you."
Su Yun was stunned: "The old boss of Yuanhui?"
The ship left.
Su Yun led the group to the dock. A teacher from Tiandao Academy had already completed the customs clearance documents. An official from Daqin Haiyi came over. He was a Semu man and said, "I am Hu Feiyu. I am waiting for the envoys here in the name of Lord Cang Jiuhua. I will be responsible for sending the envoys to Yundu. Are these the only envoys?"
He looked behind Su Yun, and saw that Su Yun was followed by more than twenty young boys and girls. They did not bring any rare treasures, and their carriage was also ordinary.
Cang Jiuhua went on a diplomatic mission to Yuan Shuo and brought with him countless argali. The backs of the argali looked like palaces, extremely gorgeous, and were filled with all kinds of treasures, jewels, and precious stones that reached the sky.
Among Su Yun's group, only Tian Feng and Ye Luo's Feilong each carried a small wooden building on their backs.
Feilong is a python that transformed into a dragon. He has a big belly and was fattened by Ye Luo. Tianfeng is obviously still a fledgling and its feathers have not even grown fully.
Tianfeng was very indignant. She spread her furry little wings and carefully showed Hu Feiyu the first feather that had grown on her wings.
Hu Feiyu gritted his teeth and followed Su Yun onto the Phoenix Chariot, which drove out.
Hu Feiyu introduced Su Yun to the customs and culture of Daqin and the scenery along the way.
The written language of the Great Qin State was brought over by Yuan Shuo's spiritual masters during the pioneering period. The cultural classics were also passed on to Yuan Shuo by those spiritual masters, so there were no obstacles in communication.
While listening, Su Yun looked out the window, observing the customs and habits of Daqin. He saw that the architecture of Daqin was somewhat similar to that of Yuan Shuo, but had developed different forms and had an exotic style.
There were also many schools in Daqin. The schools in the countryside were bright and beautiful, and there were large numbers of young scholars going in and out of the schools.
Su Yun stopped the car and looked over, he saw many scholars running towards one place, it was very lively and noisy.
"Lord Hu, what are they doing?" Su Yun asked.
Hu Feiyu got off the car to inquire, and said, "These are country scholars. They heard that there is a treasure land that has bred natural treasures and is about to be born, so they went to try their luck."
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of what happened in Shuofang Thunder Valley. He said in a deep voice: "Does the Great Qin Kingdom also have more than one ten-li?"
"More than one ten miles?"
Hu Feiyu laughed and said, "How is that possible? The precious lands of our Great Qin are all ownerless. The natural resources and treasures belong to those with virtue."
Su Yun looked at Wutong, who nodded slightly and whispered, "He's telling the truth."
Hu Feiyu changed the subject and said with a smile: "But these country folk are all poor, how can they rob the aristocratic families? They run over there just to offer blood sacrifices to the natural treasures. The ones who really pick the peaches are usually the people from the aristocratic families."
Su Yun was stunned.
Hu Feiyu continued: "I have never heard of a child from a poor family being able to obtain a treasure."
"Then why do these scholars still want to rob?" Li Zhuxian asked puzzledly.
"Because it has no owner." Hu Feiyu said as a matter of course.
Everyone felt chilled.
"This is much more cruel than Shili Yuyi. This is really stingy..."
