Now she is more like a gentle, fragrant and beautiful woman.
If it weren't for the long sword at his waist and the tight clothes on his body that gave him a certain temperament, he probably wouldn't be regarded as a warrior.
When Senior Sister Hong Miao faced Qi Xiheng, her temperament was gentle, quiet and graceful.
"Yeah." Xi Heng responded naturally:
"I've done a quick search on land, but I want to go to the sea, otherwise I won't be able to settle down."
"But sailing on the sea is always fraught with danger, not to mention crossing the thousands-mile Chonghai Sea... No one in this world has ever been able to cross the Chonghai Sea and come back again." Hong Miao advised.
She didn't want Xi Heng to go too far or to a dangerous place.
“Then maybe I’ll be the first.”
Xi Heng smiled lightly: "Maybe the other side of Chonghai is really a fairyland, and those who have been there don't want to come back."
"What's more likely is that those who were willing to cross the sea have died on the way." Hong Miao shook her head and reminded.
"No matter what, I will go anyway, Senior Sister." Xi Heng waved his hand.
She would not be persuaded by her senior sister, and what she came here to talk about was not this matter.
But...
"However, I also know that this journey may be quite dangerous, so Senior Sister, please don't follow me this time."
Hong Miao guessed that Xi Heng would say such a thing, and was not surprised at all, but she still wanted to persuade him:
"Why do you insist on going when you know it's dangerous?"
"Senior Sister is a warrior, so she should understand, right?" Xi Heng asked back.
However, she also noticed that for some reason, her martial artist attributes had gradually weakened since her senior sister's revenge.
I'm afraid it's been a long time since I drew my sword.
"Even so... but." Hong Miao sighed softly: "What's so good about immortals? Even you insist on looking for the ethereal and invisible immortal."
Xi Heng smiled lightly: "If I become an immortal, I can be with Senior Sister for a long time."
"As long as you and I treat each other sincerely, it doesn't matter how long it takes." Senior Sister Hong Miao retorted.
"But what I want is this long-term relationship."
"..."
When the other party was silent, Xi Heng offered his own suggestion:
"Senior Sister, please go back to Jiangning first. I may not find anything on this journey like before. If I can return safely later, I will look for you."
"How long will it take after that?" Hong Miao pursed her lips.
"Maybe a hundred days, maybe a year, maybe even longer." Xi Heng wasn't sure.
I don't know how many thousands of miles the vast sea is. It would take an unknown amount of time to cross it by boat.
In the Great Zhao Kingdom, no one has ever heard of anyone being able to cross the Chong Sea, and many books even say that the Chong Sea has no end.
But as a time traveler, Xi Heng believes that this world should also be a sphere.
After all, the sun is round, and so is the moon.
As long as we keep sailing eastward, we can either cross the Chonghai Sea or circle around and return to the territory of Da Zhao.
After all, there will be an end.
However, there are always many troubles at sea, such as tsunamis, storms and so on.
I wonder if the big ship built by the Goddess of Red Sky can hold up.
If the ship sank in Chonghai, even if she was a Huajin warrior, she would not be able to return to Dazhao with Qinggong...
So, it is indeed somewhat dangerous.
For others, the dangers are something to consider carefully.
But for Xi Heng, there was no need to think too much about it.
It's just a life, let the sea take it if it wants.
If it really doesn't work, after becoming emperor, I will build a few bigger and more stable ships and cross the sea again.
Anyway, she was determined to go this time.
……
The next day, noon.
Xi Heng brought dozens of Dark Sky believers who were willing to cross Chonghai with her and arrived at the huge port in the coastal part of Mingzhu City.
Mingzhu City is a large coastal city with many large ships.
However, today, these ships, which are huge enough in the eyes of ordinary people, are obviously overshadowed by a brand new ship in the center that is more than 60 meters long, can carry hundreds of people, and has more than a dozen thick sails hanging high.
The sunlight shines on the stitched and pasted planks, making the entire hull appear complete. The size alone makes the ship look majestic.
"good."
Xi Heng looked at the appearance of the ship and saw many former Jingming Sect's helmsmen, craftsmen, sailors, boatmen and other personnel boarding the ship.
This huge ship does look like it can cross the ocean.
"This ship has compartments to separate water. Even if there is a leak, it will not be directly submerged like ordinary ships." The Scarlet Sky Goddess who was captured by her explained:
"Many craftsmen are also on board. If the ship hits a reef or is attacked by a sea beast, we can immediately send people to repair it - all for the sake of safely crossing the Chonghai Sea."
"Hmm..." Xi Heng nodded gently:
"Have you arranged the cabin and everything?"
"nature."
"To prevent you from having any bad intentions, you and I will stay in the same cabin."
As a martial artist who had mastered the Hua Jin martial art, she was not afraid of this person whose muscles and bones were injured and unable to cast spells.
By the way, living together would also allow the other party to teach her how to use flying swords and various fire techniques.
The Goddess of Red Sky lowered her eyes and said yes, as if she had accepted her fate.
"Let's go." Xi Heng led this man and dozens of Dark Sky Sect soldiers behind him onto the big ship.
There was not only one huge ship on this trip, there were also two large merchant ships and smaller sailing ships accompanying it.
The horn sounded, and dozens of people pulled up the anchor together, and the huge sail was spread out.
The west wind blew the sails, leading the ship to sail far to the east.
Xi Heng stood on the deck, leaning against the side of the ship, looking back.
As she went farther and farther away, the land in the distance was pulled farther and farther away, shrouded in layers of pale white mist.
Disappeared at the edge of the sky.
……
The first day at sea.
Xi Heng took out the prepared rice paper and fine brush from his cabin and quietly began to write his sea diary.
There was really nothing to do at sea, so after uploading, selecting a cabin, and briefly understanding the respective positions of the people on board, she was free.
I was a little busy in the morning, then stood on the side of the ship and looked at the sea view which hardly changed. After listening to the cry of seagulls and the sea breeze, I returned to my large cabin in boredom.
The Goddess of Red Sky was also sitting here in meditation. Ever since Xi Heng returned, she had been asking him about the various key points of the Chi Ling Tian Fa, asking over and over again as if interrogating him, until she had almost understood it all, and then she gave him some free time.
After resting for a while, Xi Heng took out the flying sword again, held the sword finger and swayed it left and right on the ground, and asked the Goddess Chi Tian how to activate it intactly and why the flying sword was able to ignite the fire before.
"Are you really a demon?" The Goddess Chitian looked at Xi Heng and always felt that although the other party knew magic, he seemed to have no idea about many common sense issues.
"Guess?" Xi Heng kept it a secret.
"..." Chen Fenghuo was silent for a long time, looking at the other party's murderous aura, but in the end he didn't say much, and obediently told the story about the flying sword and magic weapon.
……
"I see. To use the full power of the flying sword, you need to directly inject spiritual energy into it and touch a certain part of it to control it... just like a button."
Since they were not cultivators of Taoism or Qigong, they had no spiritual energy in their bodies, so they could only use spirit stones as a remote control to practice slowly.
Xi Heng put the spirit stone on it, and immediately the blade of the flying sword was ignited with fire. The blade, which was originally rough and simple, only hard but not sharp enough, immediately became extremely sharp after being touched by the fire.
Wherever the fire touches, even the hardest rock can be cut through.
But on this huge wooden boat, Xi Heng couldn't try out the killing effect of this flame too much.
If the fire could not be stopped and the whole ship sank, her plan to find the immortal would be ruined.
Therefore, Xi Heng did not practice fire magic on the ship, and when practicing flying sword, he only controlled the direction of the sword strike, and did not use spiritual energy to make it ignite flames.
During the practice, the days passed one by one.
Xi Heng recorded his own practice experience every day, and gradually gained some new understanding of the so-called magic, and gradually improved.
Five days had passed outside, and the surrounding scenery was still the same unchanging calm ocean.
Sunlight, clouds, and sea.
Standing on the deck of a ship, these three things are the only things you can see.
Xi Heng originally thought about looking for the so-called Chonghai Fairy Island on the way, but let alone the fairy island, there was not even a small island to be seen nearby.
There were no markings on the sea map, so the helmsman could only estimate how far the ship had traveled based on his experience.
In Xi Heng's eyes, no matter how fast or slow the ship was going, everything around it looked the same.
The sea seems to be endless.
"How long will it take to cross this sea?" Xi Heng said to himself as he listened to the gentle waves and the sound of the tide.
"It took Columbus less than 40 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean... It shouldn't take more than 100 days for me to cross the Chonghai Sea once, right?"
If no supply sites such as islands can be found during the voyage, the supplies on the ship will only last for more than half a year.
"It would be nice to have a map and GPS..."
……
On the tenth day, the sky was dark and overcast.
Layers of dark clouds covered the sun, and suddenly heavy rain fell.
The sailors on the ship shouted one after another to fold the sails, return to the sides and stern to set up the long oars, and many people rowed together to continue to provide power for the ship.
Although the rain was heavy, the strong wind blowing in our face was not that strong. The waves under the boat were not violent, and we could only feel the boat swaying slightly.
The boatman kept collecting the rain water that fell on the deck in wooden buckets and pouring it out, and his constant shouts could be heard from afar.
Xi Heng stood in the cabin, looking through the porthole at the busy scene on the deck, listening to the creaking sounds caused by the swaying of the ship, and sighed:
"This kind of weather will also slow down the progress..."
A flash of lightning exploded in the sky, illuminating the world.
A rumbling sound was then heard, and the power of the natural disaster made everyone tremble.
“I hope the rainstorm will end soon.”
Xi Heng returned to the cabin and sat down, quietly reading some books he had brought to kill time.
The Goddess of Red Sky closed her eyes and meditated calmly, seemingly unconcerned by the thunder and rainstorm nearby.
……
Five days later, the heavy rain still did not stop, at most it would only gradually subside from time to time.
After the light rain, the weather was not calm, but there was a heavy rainstorm with howling winds.
The huge ship was swept by the waves and was shaking continuously, and the chessboard that Xi Heng had used for entertainment these days was in disarray.
The big ship floated up and down in the waves, unable to resist the power of heaven and earth at all, and could only go with the flow and be swayed.
The overly gloomy weather also affected people's moods. Xi Heng looked up at the boundless sky, thinking only that it would be great if he had the ability to disperse the dark clouds.
The girl fantasized about what would happen after she practiced Qigong and became an immortal.
According to legend, practicing Qigong not only can achieve immortality, but also gives one the power to ride on clouds and call the wind and rain.
