The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 570 Mirage

 The men were drinking, but Sanniang was still in a low mood and kept sitting on the edge, distracted.

Hai Changkong’s whole story, 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 on the sea. Especially, they brought a powerful fleet with them, which was unsettling - a group of people were fighting passionately, and the result was Now even the goals of both sides 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 clearly what Zhao Changhe was saying. He smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "Tell me what island you are looking for."

Zhao Changhe gave a rough description, and Tang En was very interested: "If you can see Canglong Qisu's inner fire rising in front of 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 can't be 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, many people have wanted to find the end of the world, and who has succeeded? "

"Well…"

"The place Mr. Zhao mentioned does exist, but it is not the real junction of the sea and the sky. It is actually an island in the middle of the sea. The sun, moon and stars you see seem to be right in front of you, which is generally considered to be a mirage phenomenon, reflecting the true meaning of things far away. The illusion of the junction of sea and sky. Of course, there will be Poseidon believers who think it is a miracle." Hai Changkong smiled: "In fact, Poseidon may really be there, and the mirage may be the power of Poseidon. Appearance caused by distorted vision.”

Zhao Changhe was refreshed: "Where is this island?"

Hai Changkong stood up and said: "There are not many people who know about this island, and there are only a lot of people in the pirate group who know about it... Just find two experienced people to be your guides."

Tang En: "...Hua Zhenming, the turtle son, told me that he didn't know."

"Hua Zhenming probably fell in love with your ship and tried to keep you here until the business is done...but now they have no chance to implement it." Hai Changkong raised his hand and said, "The etiquette in my hometown has changed. What?"

 Zhao Changhe returned the greeting with an 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. 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 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.

Even 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 and 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 cannons, which were actually closer to stone cannons.

There were some in the warehouse of the pirate base, but they were cumbersome and inconvenient. Hai Changkong did not take them all 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 blind, the barrel is easy to destroy, and the distance is long. Why is Your Highness so interested?"

“Old Tang, forget about everything else, the interval is just too dark. The interval between the two shots of your crossbow is longer.”

 “But we can shoot far and have great power.”

 “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 it. 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 Wan Zhuang and Bu Qi 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, as if he had a deep meaning. : "If you don't do it right, half of the warriors will be eliminated."

Zhao Changhe only dares to say that half of this kind of world will be eliminated.

The 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 can't do it.

“Huh? I just asked you to contact me and express my feelings, but I didn’t expect you to actually reply.”

 Blind man: “…”

“Now that I’m back, how about the atomic bomb compared to you?”

"Boring." The blind man said calmly: "Why don't you tell me what your intention was in guiding Hai Changkong to talk about faith issues, intentionally or unintentionally?"

Zhao Changhe wondered: "Hai Changkong said it himself, what does it have to do with me?"

"Heh..." 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 impatient. 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.

 Perhaps this is the confidence of Immortality Seed. Unlike Hai Changkong, he is obviously a hero, but when he is nearly fifty, he has never been more confident. It seems that he has even given up the idea of ​​​​going back to land to take 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 the 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 and rotten shrimps were destroyed by us. After killing a lot of people, I didn’t see any new measures from Him.”

The blind man said: "Then just watch. While others haven't regarded you as an opponent worth taking seriously, 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 make a fool of myself, and I will disappoint you.”

 Blind man: “…”

“Why did you invite Lai Qi to disturb us? Are you in such a hurry?”

 “…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 at all for many things, but his intuition was so keen 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 them.

But looking at his lost look, he didn’t know whether he was looking at the crystal core or wandering around.

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 and the sky."

 “That’s not as good as that?”

"I once said that I wanted the Night Emperor to come to the world and let Xia Longyuan, Hai Pinglan and the others know that the emperor's hegemony was all lies." Sanniang leaned on the chair and tossed the two crystal cores: "I'm thinking, why I never thought about it myself to let them know that.”

Zhao Changhe said: "So is this what you plan to do now?"

“No.” Sanniang stretched her body and said, “I feel so annoyed when I think about this. I might as well go to sleep.”

Feeling Zhao Changhe's twitching expression, the blind man almost laughed out loud.

 Let you guide me, are you desperate?

But Zhao Changhe hugged him and said, "It is indeed my venerable family. This attitude is the cutest..."

 The blind man walked away angrily.
