Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 570: Mirage
Chapter 570 Mirage
The men were drinking, but Sanniang's mood was not very high. She kept sitting on the side and distracted.
Hai Changkong's whole thing, although he felt that Zhao Changhe was quite in tune with it, he also had no intention of saying too much.
It sounds psychedelic, but in fact he came to the Tang family's boat just to determine what Zhao Changhe and Sanniang were doing at sea. Especially, he brought a powerful fleet with him, which was unsettling - a group of people could fight It was so heated that now the goals of both parties have just begun to become clear to each other.
Hai Changkong couldn't laugh or cry when he learned that Zhao Changhe was really just looking for an island: "Hai Qianfan is like a ghost. Things here have nothing to do with you, but you broke in and made a mess. ."
"Who said it has nothing to do with me? Gui...Sanniang's business is my business."
Hai Changkong glanced at Sanniang. Sanniang was still distracted and didn't seem to hear what Zhao Changhe was saying. He smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "What island are you looking for? Tell me about it."
Zhao Changhe gave a rough description, and Tang En was very interested: "If you can see Canglong Qisu's inner fire rising from before your eyes... it would actually be the boundary between sea and sky."
Zhao Changhe said: "Theoretically, right? Can we go all the way to the east to the end of the world?"
Hai Changkong shook his head: "Navigating the sea is not that simple. If you blindly go straight in a straight line, you will have to get involved in unknown ocean currents. In addition, there are supply problems and so on... Throughout the ages, there have been many people who want to find the end of the world, and there are Who has succeeded? ”
"Uh..."
"The place Mr. Zhao mentioned does exist, but it is not the real junction of sea and sky. It is actually an island in the middle of the sea. The sun, moon and stars seen are as if they are in front of you, which is generally considered to be a mirage phenomenon, refracting extremely far away There are real illusions where the sea and the sky meet. Of course, there are also Poseidon believers who think it is a miracle." Hai Changkong smiled: "In fact, it is possible that Poseidon is really nearby, and the mirage may be Poseidon. The power distorts the appearance caused by vision."
Zhao Changhe perked up: "Where is this island?"
Hai Changkong stood up and said: "There are not many people who know about this island, and many people in the pirate group know about it... Just find two experienced people to be your guides."
Tang En: "...Hua Zhenming, that turtle son, told me that he didn't know."
"Hua Zhenming is probably interested in "Mei Qian Thu" and is trying to keep you here so that he can slowly work on it after the business is done... But now they have no chance to implement it." Hai Changkong raised his hand: "Have etiquette changed in my hometown?"
Zhao Changhe returned the favor with a cupped hand: "No change."
"Then farewell." Hai Changkong jumped up and left: "When I have time in the future, I will drink and discuss swords with Mr. Zhao again."
Tang En looked at his retreating back and praised: "This Marshal Hai is quite a character."
Zhao Changhe nodded. In fact, even Hai Qianfan is a figure, should I say it or not... After all, not everyone can roam the sea for so many years and become a pirate leader that is a headache for all countries. It is also difficult for someone to support him. It's a pity that his mind turned into a demon and he died without even a few lines.
These people with the surname Hai seem to be basically the adopted sons of Hai Pinglan in his early years. They were taught martial arts by Hai Pinglan himself, from which we can also see Hai Pinglan's style. Not to mention anything else, just cultivating two levels of the Earth Ranking would completely surpass the ability of all the Heaven Ranking people in the Central Plains to teach disciples.
Of course, this is also closely related to the atmosphere of long-term battles at sea. The Central Plains has just entered troubled times, unlike the countries at sea that have been fighting back and forth. Moreover, the special resources at sea are actually huge and very nourishing. Unfortunately, no one has been able to enjoy them so far.
For example, the pirates' collections have obviously been confiscated by Hai Changkong, and the entire pirate group has been collected and returned. It is unknown how many people have escaped to become pirates, and it is unlikely that the whole group will become a pirate. Zhao Changhe wanted to get some resources, but he didn't have a single copper. Instead, he got some medicinal materials and fresh water, and asked a group of experienced people to serve as guides.
The unexpected harvest was a few artillery pieces, which were actually closer to stone cannons.
There were some in the pirate base warehouse, but they were cumbersome and inconvenient. Hai Changkong did not take them all away because they were too heavy. This time, Zhao Changhe carried them onto the ship, and several men squatted beside the cannon to study them.
"This thing seems to be mediocre when used by them. The range is not good, the power is too high, the accuracy is like blinding, the barrel is easy to destroy, and the distance is still long. Why is Your Highness so interested?"
"Old Tang, forget about everything else, the interval is just too awkward. The interval between the two shots of your bed crossbow is longer."
“But we can shoot far and powerfully.”
"Were you so strong at the beginning?"
Tang En was stunned and thoughtful.
Zhao Changhe finally got up and walked to the cabin: "Anyway, this is not something you can study. You have to specialize in the art. Let's sail first and go to the mirage island where you can see the junction of the sea and the sky. There is no need to go to Penglai."
"Yes."
"Tell Wanzhuang and Buqi later to find professional craftsmen and put more thought into it. Believe me, Bed Crossbow will be eliminated by it." Zhao Changhe walked, and suddenly stopped slightly. It seems to have a profound meaning: "If you don't do it right, half of the warriors will be eliminated."
In this kind of world, Zhao Changhe can only say that half of it will be eliminated.
Perverts like Yujing have reached the level of spiritual soul cultivation, and they are no longer human beings. Going up to the level of a blind man arresting people across time and space, at least modern technology cannot do it.
"Blind blind."
"What for?"
"Huh? Just call me to contact me and express my feelings. I didn't expect you to really reply."
The blind man: "..."
"Now that I'm back, by the way, how does the atomic bomb compare to you?"
"Boring." The blind man said calmly: "Why don't you tell me why you intentionally or unintentionally led Hai Changkong to talk about faith issues?"
Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "Hai Changkong said it himself, what does it have to do with me?"
"Huh..." the blind man said leisurely: "There are some things, don't pry around casually... You were quite cautious before, but I think you are a little wandering now."
Zhao Changhe didn't refute. It's hard to say whether he was floating or not, but he was a bit anxious. He really admired the blind man for being able to watch her silently for decades from Xia Longyuan to now, silently waiting for the opportunity she wanted.
Maybe this is the confidence of the longevity species. Unlike Hai Changkong, he was obviously a hero, but when he was nearly fifty, he never had the confidence to take a step closer. It seemed that he had even given up the idea of returning to land for a look. People are still human after all.
Zhao Changhe did not say anything about this, but instead asked: "Do you have anything to say about Poseidon this time?"
"No." The blind man said calmly: "You are not the only one in the world. There are many things worth seeing."
"For example, the game between Hai Pinglan and Neptune?" Zhao Changhe took the opportunity to ask: "Is Neptune a bit slow? I think it seems to have no reaction other than throwing a few structures to do things. Previously, the smelly fish was rotten. We killed a lot of shrimps and didn’t even look at it? Are there any new measures?”
The blind man said: "Then just watch. While others haven't regarded you as an opponent worthy of attention, you can still float for a few days."
"Even if you seem to inadvertently create a sense of urgency for me, I am still going to pick up the turtles and let you down."
The blind man: "..."
"Why did you invite Lai Qi to disturb us, are you so anxious?"
"...None of my business."
After putting down these four words, the blind man lost his voice completely, and his heart skipped a beat. He could finally understand the feelings of the people who had been investigated by Zhao Changhe in the past two years.
Obviously he had no evidence for many things, but his intuition was so sharp that it was ridiculously sharp.
Over there, Zhao Changhe had already opened the door and entered the house. When they went to move the cannon, Sanniang had already returned to the house early and was leaning against the window, weighing two crystal cores and thinking about it.
But looking at the entranced look, one doesn’t know whether he is looking at the crystal core or wandering in the outer world.
Zhao Changhe sat next to him and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"
Sanniang came back to her senses and smiled brightly: "It's nothing...I was thinking that the three levels of secrets in this palace are not as good as the sea."
"What better then?"
"I once said that I wanted the Night Emperor to come to the world, so that Xia Longyuan, Hai Pinglan and the others would know that the emperor's hegemony was all lies." Sanniang leaned on the chair and tossed the two crystal cores one after another: "I'm here Wondering why I never thought of letting them know this myself."
Zhao Changhe said: "So is this what you plan to do now?"
"No." Sanniang stretched out: "I feel so annoyed when I think about this, I might as well sleep."
Feeling Zhao Changhe's twitching expression, the blind man almost laughed out loud.
Aren’t you desperate to let you guide me?
But Zhao Changhe hugged him: "It is indeed my venerable, this attitude is the cutest..."
The blind man walked away angrily.
