Chapter 43 The Dangerous Land in the Far East: Mirage at Sea!

Above the sea, waves surging, warships sailing on the sea surface, the sea breeze blows the giant sails on the masts, and the giant sails rush.

The old man sitting in a wheelchair looked up at the stars in the sky on the deck. The sea breeze was very cold, and even wearing a thick jacket, it felt biting inside. Behind him, Li Mao pushed the wheelchair for him: "Senior, should you go in?"

The old man nodded, and then Li Mao pushed him into the cabin.

The stars guide the direction of the warship. Inside the rear end of the warship, there are gears rotating, and the sound of iron cable pulling, steam coming out, and the warship accelerates further.

At the height of the battleship, at the top of the three-layer platform built up in a golden shape, a young man carrying a black treasure gun, holding a lookout glasses, observing the distant sea level. Tonight's moon only had a crescent outline, but the stars seemed even brighter than before. The waves on the sea were much more urgent than the previous two days ago. Somewhere in the distance, there might be a storm that would affect the waves here.

In the cabin, in a room more than ten meters wide, the girl called Xiaomeng was confronting each other with a tall young woman, one holding a sword and the other holding a flower umbrella. Suddenly, the two of them approached quickly, but they started fighting.

Outside the field, wearing a sky-blue chest-tight skirt, crescent-shaped jade hanging on her neck, a cute princess girl, holding a little black cat in her arms, looking at the two of them being trained. In such a sea, there are not many things that can be done besides practicing.

In the other room next door, the girl's moans, whether beautiful or painful, came from time to time. After a while, she calmed down. In the bed, the girl in the young man's arms thought to herself, what other postures did she have not played with by him?

The days at sea were indeed too boring, so boring that she began to feel that she didn't have enough knowledge and could not think of any new knowledge.

Hongdie already knew that the lover was the "master". This perception surprised her at first. Of course, no matter how surprised he was, it was not so incredible, just because now, no matter how capable he has, it will no longer make them feel strange. I don’t know when it started, but in their impression, he should be so omnipotent.

"Brother Ning..."

In the quilt, Hongdie asked curiously: "What does the end of the sea look like?"

The young man who was soft and fragrant in his arms smiled and hugged her tighter: "You will know then."

Hongdie pursed her lips and found that just as Sister Jian Li said, Brother Ning is good at everything, but he likes to pretend to be mysterious, which makes people hate it.

The young man pulled the quilt upward, covered her entire neck with only one head, and then said, "With your talent and your recent hard work, you have made great progress and can start the next step."

Hongdie said in surprise: "There is another step? People... they can't remember more postures."

"Uh, I'm talking about your swordsmanship, not your new posture."

"Ah? Oh!" I got it wrong.

"Your Seven Swords of the Emperor Girl, the first five swords have been trained, and the sixth sword has begun to have some prototypes. It is time to start thinking about the Seventh sword."

The girl grabbed the edge of the quilt and raised her head: "What is the Seventh Sword?"

The young man said: "Watch your enthusiasm for studying new postures these days. As long as you have this energy, you will definitely succeed."

"...Oh!" The girl also felt that as long as she had this kind of awareness, everything would be successful.

After thinking about it, she said softly: "Auntie seems to be practicing the seventh sword. She just asked her what the seventh sword looks like, but she didn't say it."

The young man said: "She doesn't want to affect you. Everyone's seventh sword is different. In fact, even with the same sword move, everyone's practices are different. Finding the sword path that suits them the most is the most important thing."

The girl stretched out her delicate arms from the quilt and hugged her neck: "I know, I know." She pouted and kissed her upwards, and then she became hot again.

It was at this moment that there was a sudden chaos outside. Ning Jiang lifted the quilt and looked at the door. Someone rushed over and knocked on the door outside: "Master Marshal?Master Marshal?" At the same time, Luanmei, Xiaomeng, Tao Fei, Hongdie and others on the other side also heard the movement, looked at each other, and ran out one after another.

On the deck, the young men from the Xuanwu Corps were already gathered. Ning Jiang and others stepped out of the cabin, and then they also looked up with these people. Luanmei said: "This is..."

In front of the battleship, there was a huge tower ship on the sea in the distance. Although One Piece is no longer small, it is nothing compared to that tower ship. The tall hull has a seven-story cabin. It looks like a black dragon.

After sailing on the sea for more than half a month, I could have seen such a large tower ship in such a place, which made the young men of the Xuanwu Corps stunned. The tower ship seemed to be far away, but it was the direction they were moving forward. Everyone held the Xuanwu gun in their hands tightly and prepared for the battle. However, the black tower ship looked more and more, occupying half of the sky, like dark clouds, and was still pressing towards them.

Beside Ning Jiang, the wheelchair was pushed out, and the old man on the chair said in surprise: "Mirage?"

Ning Jiang nodded: "It's indeed a mirage... a mirage on the sea."

Li Mao asked behind the old man: "Senior, Grand Marshal, what is a mirage?"

Luanmei, Tao Fei, Xiao Meng and others also looked at each other. Behind them, there was a red butterfly that was driving out like a waist ribbon.

Ning Jiang said: "The ship we see now is not real, but an illusion."

Tao Fei felt enlightened: "I heard that travelers in the desert sometimes encounter this kind of scene. They clearly saw the oasis, but they could not reach it. Some people said that it was the breath of a mirage dragon in the desert, and the illusion that tricked travelers away from the original path. The purpose was to make travelers get lost in the desert and die of thirst in the desert."

Ning Jiang said: "In fact, it's not a mirage dragon, nor a monster. After all, it's just a refraction of light. Due to the refraction of light, some landscapes that were originally in this position will be projected to other places thousands of miles away and will be seen by others. If you don't know, you think it's a monster."

Old man Xingluo said: "Theoretically, this is the same principle as the imaging of the small holes in the Momen Mo Sutra. The refraction of light can make people see other things thousands of miles away. On the sea, desert, and due to the terrain, this phenomenon is relatively easy to occur."

Luanmei said on the side: "As far as this is concerned, although the illusion appears in front of you, it really exists thousands of miles away or even further away?"

Ning Jiang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Everyone looked at each other and saw that the Black Dragon Gang's tower ship, although it occupied half of the sky, was constantly retreating as they approached. According to the old man and the Grand Marshal, although what they saw in front of them was just a phantom, the tower ship actually existed. This perception still surprised everyone.

Ning Jiang said: "If I'm not wrong..."

Old man Xingluo said: "Is this the ship that Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to sea to "seek immortals"?"

Ning Jiang said: "Not bad."

Xiao Meng said: "That ship is so big?"

Ning Jiang said: "What we see now is the effect of amplification after refraction of light, but since the ship can accommodate thousands of people and can sail in the distant seas, it is naturally not small. However, it is not surprising that the Qin Dynasty can be said to be the era of the most concentrated power and strongest execution in the entire Chinese history. The Great Wall was built in the north, the Western destroyed the ancient state of the country, and the Wuyue Ridge in the south. Although it was a second generation, the achievements it has achieved are beyond doubt. The efforts of the whole country to build such a tower ship is nothing for the Qin Dynasty."

Tao Fei said in confusion: "If the mirage we see now is the effect of refraction of light, but now it is clearly at night, where does this light come from?"

Others were also confused. Behind their heads, the night was still dark behind the warship, but the huge tower ship floating in the air appeared in the sky. Where did this light come from? They subconsciously looked at the old man and the young man.

Ning Jiang said: "It is probably magneto-optical in the extreme east."

Tao Fei said: "Master, what is magneto-optical?"

Before Ningjiang could speak, the old man Xingluo said first: "The four directions are called Yu, and the ancient times are called the universe. In ancient times, the sky was overturned, and a goddess stood in the four directions with the feet of a giant turtle, which was the four pillars of the sky. Although this is just a legend, there is indeed a 'four directions' in this world. According to the pre-Qin corpse, the four directions are called East Frond, West Wei, South Pole, and North Mining. Among them, North Mining and South Pole are both half a year for day and half a year for night, alternate in turn. There is a mysterious light that sometimes appears at night and is called aurora. At the east and west poles, it is difficult to distinguish day and night. There is no day or night. There is a different light from the aurora, which emits from the east and west poles and is called magneto-light. The mirage we see now should be projected from magneto-light in the extreme east realm."

The mirage in the distance is slowly dissipating, and the night is eroding forward, and the scattered glimmer is filled with mysterious colors until it finally melts into the darkness.

Ning Jiang said slowly: "The great sect, Xie Zengdao, has more than one world that has been annexed and occupied by the Shura Realm. At the beginning, they will use the wall of the cut off realm to erode the world they discovered. Once the wall of the cut off realm is completed, it will become the so-called "domain gate", thus connecting us with the Shura Realm. If I am not wrong, this wall of the cut off realm is to create the domain gate by devouring one of the four poles of other worlds. The land of Beiming was originally one of the four poles of our world, but now it has been swallowed by the wall of the cut off realm. In a few years, the domain gate will appear."

Everyone else was silent and didn't say anything.

The war did not end because of the pacification of the barbarians, and even greater disasters were waiting for the future. This was already a consensus among everyone.

Although the appearance of the mirage alarmed everyone on the "One Piece", the night was finally spent peacefully.

In the second half of the night, Ning Jiang and the old man Xingluo also discussed in detail. However, in addition to the emergence of the mirage, it is possible to infer that the tower ship that once took three thousand boys and girls to sea still exists in a corner of the world and cannot obtain other more useful clues. After all, the mirage is just a phantom, and its real source may be thousands of miles away or thousands of miles away.

During the following voyage, the waves seemed increasingly uneven.

That day, a storm swept over, and the waves were pushed like sea walls. Even the warships made of steel were like duckweed at this moment, being pushed by the sea walls, drifting with the flow in the tilt. Fortunately, countless skilled craftsmen were used, and after various new technologies were transformed, the One Piece, which was built, successfully blocked this wave of frenzy.

After the storm, the thin sunlight shone down, the sea returned to calm, and the sailors on the boat were exhausted.

Ning Jiang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea level in front of him, where the sky and the earth became turbid and full of fog. He knew that going further was the extreme east of this world.

This world is not round, it is something he has known for a long time. In his previous life, he had also visited Beiming and Xiwei, the extreme of the West, and had seen the real extreme of heaven and earth. However, at that time, he could not build such a warship with his own power, so naturally he never came to the end of the sea.

What was ahead of them? At this moment, even he was curious about it.

Although I stood at the bow of the boat and saw the turbidity in the distance, it was still ten days later when I entered. The sea surface was endless, and my vision was not blocked, so I could see very far.

Entering the foggy extreme east realm, here, you can't see the sun or the moon, the sun and the night, here, it seems that they have overlapped together, everything becomes weird.

However, following the star track diagram, they actually saw the sky above the fog, which was far away, but sometimes bright and sometimes destroyed. They could not know that this was a natural phenomenon that already existed here, and there were other unknown reasons, which caused such a situation, because the records of this place were actually very rare.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, only Shi Zi and Mo Zi had a certain degree of research on astronomy and geography. Among them, Mo Zi had a wide range of knowledge, but in turn, his research was not too deep.

Most of the works of Zizi have been missing in this era. Since Confucianism and Taoism were the only ones, the celestial phenomena have become part of the "resonance of heaven and man" and have been given various imaginary and authoritarian colors. There has been almost no progress in real astronomy. The works related to this are almost nothing.

But no matter what, since they have arrived here, they naturally have no hesitation, so they follow the fog and the dull turbidity of the sun and the moon...r
