Chapter 1
Chapter 1
The night is bright and the wind is clear, and the silver moon hangs high.
A large ornately decorated building boat is driving on the sea surface. Dozens of oars shred the silver moon reflected on the sea surface, splashing a straight wave path. The white waves are fleeting, and the splashing ripples also spread, boundless The sea is calm.
As the night deepened, the oarsmen at the bow shook the oars in unison, and the squad leader in charge of arranging the shift walked along the stairs from the bottom deck to the second floor of the building. He easily found the young general standing on the observation deck: " General, do you want to continue walking at night?"
This large ship named Jade Emperor has excellent long-distance sailing capabilities, but this long-distance voyage will be forced to suspend sailing every night, because King An needs enough peaceful sleep, and even a little vibration is unbearable. Picky master, the Jade Emperor drove slower than a snail, and the itinerary that could have been reached in six or seven days was abruptly dragged into more than ten days. Just like that, there is still a small half of the route left.
Lou Zhan, a young general in armor, looked at the sky and said, "I'm going to ask King An for instructions." After all, King An was assigned as the eleventh prince, not to mention he has a concubine and a brother in the center of power.
The Jade Emperor has four floors, with 200 oarsmen and soldiers and servants. King An occupies the topmost cabin exclusively.
The gatekeeper followed his master domineeringly, and when he saw Lou Zhan approaching, he raised his chin a little bit, and said in a harsh tone, "General Lou, Your Highness is not feeling well, and I told you not to let idlers disturb you."
There was a sound of the bead curtain hitting, and the imperial physician who was attending the clinic lifted the curtain and came out, allowing Lou Zhan to spy on the situation inside the cabin.The purple-gold incense burner in the corner wafted a calming fragrance, and amidst the smog, one could see a young man covered with a light yellow silk quilt lying motionless on the only soft couch, with black black hair hanging loose, pale face, and black lips.Wang An's facial features are actually very outstanding, but the hostility and arrogance between his brows destroyed the harmony of his face.
Seeing Lou Zhan, the accompanying imperial physician with a bitter face and deep hatred lowered his voice: "King An was so anxious that he passed out."
In fact, since boarding the boat, Wang An was in a bad state, sensitive and irritable, no one dared to offend him, and today he was so angry that he passed out.
Lou Zhan frowned. He didn't like this arrogant, picky and unreasonable King An, but he also knew that if King An was on the way, the imperial concubine and the third prince would never let it go. To be buried with the troubled prince.
He supported the saber on his waist, and stepped out of the cabin directly: "All cheer me up, raise the sails, speed up the sailing, and try to reach Qiongzhou smoothly in three days!"
Anyway, people are in a coma, and they won't be picky about the speed of the cabin, so drive the boat faster. I hope that this deeply hurt man can figure it out sooner, at least until the day he gets off the boat.
In the middle of the night, the hull suddenly shook violently, and the oarsman's exclamation came from the bottom of the building: "My lord, the sea hurricane!"
As soon as Lou Zhan got out of the cabin, he was directly blown by the strong wind and took two steps forward. At some point, a hurricane broke out on the calm sea, and the sails near the deck were all blown up by the wind. The huge waves were blown up by the wind, and even a giant boat like the Jade Emperor was swaying like a flat boat in the waves.
Lou Zhan didn't have time to think about it, and shouted sharply: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly lower the sail!" A thin and thin soldier climbed up, as strong as a monkey, and folded the sail two or three times. Raising the canvas in his hand, just about to slide down, a huge wave hit at this time, the mast without the sail was directly broken by the middle, and fell down heavily, the soldiers at the head of the pole were swept into the sea by the big waves, and directly knocked down to the bottom of the sea .
A wet head emerged from the turbulent waves, and while spitting out the seawater, it called for help: "Help!"
The oarsman nearby quickly threw down the thick hemp rope on the cabin: "You hold on to the canvas, and I will pull you up!"
The soldier who fell into the sea was quickly pulled up, panting heavily, and when he recovered from the state of lingering fear, he took a regretful look at the sail: "The canvas is all soaked by sea water. "
"You did a good job." Lou Zhan was not an overly strict general, his face was still stern, but his tone was much gentler, "Let's go back to the cabin and rest."
The deputy captain was at the helm. With rich sailing experience, he quickly turned the direction and kept the Jade Emperor away from the path of the hurricane. The thick hemp rope that saved people before was still hanging on the boat. As I dragged it, I felt that the hemp rope was a bit heavy.
Strange, did anyone get knocked down by the big waves just now?The oarsman tugged vigorously, and a pair of oily green hands rested on the board. The monster's eyes glowed with a strange green light. The hands were as thin as chicken feet, and there was a thin layer of duck-like webs in the middle. .
Wet, the strange-looking sea monster pulled the unsuspecting oarsmen out of the cabin, and with a "poof", green nails pierced into the flesh and blood...
"Monster!" The cook who came out of the cabin and saw the bloody scene screamed, and the cooked porridge spilled all over the floor.
Lou Zhan pulled out the sword at his side, and the sharp sword came out of its sheath. With a flash of cold light, he chopped off the hand of a sea monster that climbed up. The dark green blood fell on the cabin, and instantly corroded a small hole on the thick ship plank. Hole, he roared: "Array, let's fight!" "Archers prepare, shoot arrows!"
The Jade Emperor was originally a large warship, equipped with sufficient weapons, and most of the soldiers were navies who had experienced many wars. They quickly gained the upper hand and cleaned up the sea monsters around the large ship.After a brief fierce battle, the cabin was covered with that thick and disgusting green liquid. Except for the unlucky one who was pulled down at the beginning, no one was injured, but more than a dozen people were injured because of the blood of the sea monster. Poisonous, their exposed arms have wounds corroded by splattered venom.
Lou Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a quick adjustment, he wiped the sword stained with green blood: "The wounded ones rest where they are, and move on!"
The hurricane at sea seemed to be far away from this area, but before Lou Zhan could feel at ease, he found that the bow of the ship seemed to deviate from the original track.I don't know when the fog started to form in the sea area, and the light white fog gradually thickened. Looking into the distance, there was a huge fog cluster.
The Jade Emperor is very large, well-equipped, and has no fear of encountering pirates or sea monsters, but if it gets caught in the mist, it will lose its direction. Don't even think about living!
I don't know if it hit a reef, but I heard a violent impact, and the whole building began to sway, and the people in the cabin were in a mess.The little boy guarding the unconscious King An tried to grasp the surrounding things, but the objects in the cabin were not fixed, the cabinets were tilted, and even the bed on which King An was lying floated from the left side of the room to the west.
"Your Highness!"
An Wang was hit on the head by the falling vase, and a bloodstain was cut on his face by the broken porcelain.Imperial physician, go to imperial physician!The little boy ran out in a panic.During the crisis, the servant girl brought by King An subconsciously searched for the most reliable person on board.
But at this time, Lou Zhan, who realized something was wrong, rushed to the top floor and went straight to the stern, where the most important rudder was.He kicked the door open with a slam: "Old Cen, what are you doing?! The boat is going off course, do you know that!"
The middle-aged man turned his face, but his usual smiling face showed a look of tears streaming down his face, which startled Lou Zhan: "Old Cen, what's wrong with you?"
Through the window of the cabin, Lou Zhan saw the reef in the distance. Sitting on the reef was a slender figure with long hair like seaweed, and his bare upper body exuded a luster like pearls under the moonlight, like A weeping woman.At this moment, he suddenly heard an ethereal voice, and in a blink of an eye, Lou Zhan understood something: the guy in the distance is not a woman, but a sea monster that confuses people's hearts!The green-skinned sea monster is just a bait, and the sea monster is the real hunter behind it.
With quick eyes and hands, he slashed at his old partner's neck, causing him to fall to the ground, grabbed the rudder, and turned around, trying to turn the big ship around.But the situation didn't turn around, because more confused soldiers rushed over when they heard the movement, the steering wheel was even screwed off during the scramble, the building stopped and swayed in the wind and waves.
Without solving the internal troubles, Lou Zhan couldn't steer the helm in this state at all. He dragged out the helmsman who had been stunned by him, forcibly blocked the door where the rudder was located on the top floor, and forced himself to fight with all his energy.
As far as the young general could see, the wounded soldiers were easily confused by the sea monster, their bodies were still wounded, and they turned around and started attacking their companions who were taking care of them.Everyone can mercilessly chop off the head of the sea monster, but they can't easily attack their flesh and blood companions who fought side by side in the past when they are awake.Huge waves hit one after another, and the already heavy hull of the building shook violently again. Even though the character was tough and as strong as Lou Zhan, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate.
You can't think like this, the resolute young general bit the tip of his tongue, the smell of blood came up, his eyes were red, and he yelled: "Don't hurt the vitals, take off their weapons and knock them unconscious!"
At this moment, the sky has gradually taken on a fish-belly white color, and the sea water, which was dark blue at night, is also transitioning to light blue, and it will be dawn soon.The hurricane that hit again split the sky in two. It was indeed dawn, but it was a short distance away from them. The sea water and the sky were still as thick as ink. Wonderland, on one side is the abyss.It seems that they can't break free from the current predicament, they can only fall into the abyss.
Invisible despair enveloped the hearts of the people, and the soldiers who had been trying to resist could not help but fell into a state of loss. As soon as they relaxed their minds, they fell into the sad singing of the sea monster.
"Zi la" an extremely ear-piercing voice interrupted the lingering and mournful singing forcefully. The soldiers who were attacking each other suddenly stopped moving and looked at the cabin with dull eyes.
The silk and satin curtains had been knocked down by the strong wind, leaving only a beaded curtain. With one hand, a beaded curtain was pushed aside, and a figure that Lou Zhan felt familiar came out holding the zither.
Different from the manic, gloomy and distorted eleventh prince in his memory, Wang An who came out holding the guqin had a lazy temperament in his gestures, like peach blossoms in March in the spring, becoming the only one in this dark night. A touch of warm bright color.
The broken piece of the vase fell just right between Wang An's eyebrows. After being wiped clean with the hem of his sleeve, only a dark red blood scab was left on the center of his eyebrows. His smiling eyebrows and eyes made him a Jade Avalokitesvara radiating Buddha's light in the dim sky.
"Singing so well, how can there be no accompaniment." The young man enthusiastically made a gesture of playing the piano, resting his slender fingers on the strings, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he gently plucked the strings, and "Zheng" was a good name. One of the qin strings broke, followed by the sound of strings breaking one after another. After a while, there were only two thin strings left.
"I'm sorry, the strings of the qin are broken." The young man who said this said with a smile on his face, without feeling any guilt towards the qin.
Hearing these words, Lou Zhan felt angry for no reason. This King An's brain was smashed, and he came to join in the fun at this time. What was he expecting just now!Just at this moment, the interrupted singing sounded again, and the soldiers controlled by the sea monster didn't care about King An's royal blood, and rushed over with their blood-stained blades.
Lou Zhan was furious in his heart, but he still stepped forward and swung his long sword to clean up the oncoming troubles for King An.The young man standing behind him raised his hand, and the satin-cut robe slipped down, revealing a wrist that was thin due to illness.The light blue and lavender blood vessels are particularly obvious on the creamy white wrist, but it doesn't look ugly at all, but makes him look more like a jade man.
Jiang Chaosheng didn't seem to see the danger in front of him. He sat on the ground without paying attention, erected the guqin, and randomly pulled out the silver hairpin that binds his hair. After a closer look, he saw what kind of hairpin it was, and it was clearly a chopstick for eating.There is no way, Jiang Chaosheng is not An Wang Jiang Chaosheng who died in this catastrophe, but Chaosheng who is ebb and flow. Jiang Chaosheng can't play the guqin, he can only play the erhu.
Lou Zhan saw that Wang An used silver chopsticks as a bow and a guqin as strings, and actually played a tune. The tune changed from jerky to fluent. It turned out to be the "Eighteen Touches" that can only be found in the land of sensuality!With mourning music and joyful "Eighteen Touches", who can still mourn!
The wind and waves rose suddenly, and the strong wind blew the young man's head full of ink and black hair. He didn't look like a lunatic, but instead gave him a bit of madness.At the end of the song, "Eighteen Touches" turned into an impassioned "Broken Array Song". An angry siren.
The sea monsters on the reef are actually very ugly, with green faces and fangs, and green eyes. They cannot deceive people by their beauty, so they use their singing and white mist to deceive travelers.
The young man's deep voice sounded like gold and jade: "General Lou, what are you waiting for? I can't help you kill the demon with my own hands."
The soldiers under him lost control and stood blankly on the cabin, Lou Zhan came back to his senses, his arches stretched out, he touched the deck, jumped directly onto the reef, and ended the Kraken's life with a single sword strike.
The color of the sea water faded, and the large boat finally sailed out of the area attacked by the sea monster. The sunrise glow dyed half of the sky red, and dispelled the haze that enveloped the hearts of everyone on board.
Jiang Chaosheng put down the guqin with only two strings left in his hand. After life and death, he wanted to go back and lie down again.But before lying flat, there is one more important thing.He skillfully tied up his hair with silver chopsticks, and stretched himself in the sunlight: "My king is hungry, let's eat."
There was a lot of damage to the hull, and the cabin where Jiang Chaosheng was staying also needed to be repaired. He set up a set of tables and chairs near the viewing platform and enjoyed the food alone.
Unlike the turbulent posture of the soldiers, Jiang Chaosheng's gestures were very graceful, that is, the food on the plate was not decreasing at all slower than the soldiers on the third floor.
Hard pancakes are not really tasty, but they are the best that Lou Chuan can offer in such a short time.Jiang Chaosheng was not used to wasting food, so he casually put the cornbread he had bitten into his sleeve pocket.
But the sleeves were too wide, and he was not used to it. While walking along the cabin to digest food, the pancake accidentally fell into the sea, only a small splash was stirred up, and the ripples disappeared in an instant.Jiang Chaosheng looked at the bottomless sea with regret, forget it, it's just a pancake, go back and lie down, and we'll talk when we go ashore.
Under the surface of the sea, a group of small fish came up, and a slender but powerful hand swung the fish away violently, snatching away the big pie that accidentally fell into the water.
The boat sailed for a certain distance, but no one noticed a young boy with indistinguishable male and female appearance emerged from the water.He had a pair of emerald eyes, long seaweed-like thick azure blue hair scattered around his body, half of his upper body was not covered, and his creamy skin shone with a moist and bright color under the sun.
The shark silently followed the Lou Chuan all the way, staring at the handsome young man walking into the cabin, completely unable to see the figure of wanton flair, the young man slowly turned the round cake in his hand, imitating the appearance of that man, and opened it slightly. Lips, he was born with red lips and white teeth, like a young man who was pampered by a good family.
But the moment the boy opened his mouth, it only reminded people of a piranha with a silvery light and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Ji Xuanbing specially imitated Jiang Chaosheng's eating movements, and reluctantly took a big bite on the part with the shallow teeth marks, and only heard a click, and the pancake shattered into cake crumbs under the boy's sharp teeth.
This is the legendary indirect kiss!It is rumored that the human beings in the eastern country are very shy and traditional. This is not a simple feeding of a piece of cake, but it is clearly a bold enough show of love.Ji Xuanbing's cheeks flushed red, and the tail of the fish hiding in the waves was so excited that he slapped it vigorously, directly setting off a huge wave in the sea area. The fish that had swam far away did not escape after all. Dead fisheye.
A shy red cloud floated on the indistinguishable face of the merman. Yesterday, the sea monster tempted the ship on the sea surface, and he fought with his opponent in the deep sea.Thanks to the benefactor who played the music yesterday, the sound of the piano spread into the deep sea, which enlightened him and quickly defeated his opponent.
He was hungry after the fight, and benefactor gave him the food he was reluctant to eat to relieve his predicament. He is really kind-hearted.The shark holds grudges, but even more grieves.The grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring.The grace of saving my life...should be promised by my body!
