Chapter 323: Strange Danger in the Sea
When Zhang Fan and the others heard this, they knew in their hearts that the endless ocean was the area where the drought was restrained. Akon asked, "Then don't you want to look at Shijie in the distance anymore?" ……”
The maiden took out the reed flute and handed it to Akon, "Stay, this is a gift from the King of Dryness, and I will return to my realm now." Thank you for taking me through the shijie of life, which is fragile, but makes me happy. ”
Akon wanted to say something, trying to win back this powerful follower, but was stopped by Zhang Fan. The woman's human-like face and body gradually withered, turning into the essence of a thousand-year-old zombie, and then continuing to sand and dust, circling through the cabin, and passing through the reed flute in Akon's hand, bringing with it the sound of a resentful flute......
"Take care, you need my help to blow this flute...... "The dust flew out of the cabin and drifted northwest......
Akon sighed, put away the reed flute, Zhang Fan patted him, and comforted: "There are gains and losses, and there is nothing bad between gains and losses." ”
…………
At this time, it was early winter, and the south wind led all the way to Hangzhou with two fleets. At this point, the two fleets parted.
The ship did not go straight to the east, but followed the current and the south wind to the southeast, and traveled for five days, all the way to an island called Da'ar Naipo. Zhang Fan remembers that this place seems to be modern Okinawa, Japan. Once here, turn the bow of the ship and head north. Along the way is the Ryukyu Islands, which have many islands that can be replenished at any time.
And in this sea area, there is a different atmosphere enveloped it......
In the distance, black clouds were gathering, and experienced sailors could tell that it was a storm coming. Monk Jianzhen also stood alone to the bow of the boat, looking at the foggy front with cloudy eyes. Could he, who is already blind, still be able to see the weather?
Zhang Fan stood behind him, and Jianzhen's feeling always made him feel that this high monk did not seem to be blind. Because Jianzhen never takes the wrong medicinal materials when he grabs medicine for patients, this makes Zhang Fan, who is also from traditional Chinese medicine, very depressed, his eyes are very good, and he has to carefully distinguish the medicine before he can get it right, this senior monk......
Jianzhen turned his back to Zhang Fan, but seemed to see through Zhang Fan's thoughts, and muttered: "Are you thinking that I can see the weather?" ”
"It's just that I don't understand, and I have to ask for advice." Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then replied.
"I am blind in my eyes, but I am not blind in my heart. I have been to sea many times and encountered storms, and I can already smell the breath of this storm when it comes. Alas, the road ahead is not peaceful! ”
Zhang Fan was not surprised in his heart, it was strange that this voyage could be safe.
Jianzhen pointed to the black storm clouds, "Look, what's different there?" ”
Zhang Fan looked closely, but saw that there was nothing special about the black cloud, "The disciple has shallow knowledge and doesn't know the origin of the storm, so he can't see anything unusual about the storm black cloud." ”
"If you only look with your eyes, you naturally don't know your true face. Look hard! ”
This old-fashioned teaching, from the mouth of Jianzhen, but it is different, Zhang Fan held his breath and condensed, closed his eyes and meditated, and then opened his eyes again, looking at the sky, still did not find anything.
"Let you look with your heart, but you are still blessed with eyesight, how can you see clearly?"
"I also need the master's guidance." Zhang Fan humbly arched his hand.
"That's it." Jianzhen sighed and stretched out a finger to draw it in front of Zhang Fan's forehead. With a slight sting, a faint trace of blood appeared on Zhang Fan's forehead, and it seemed that there was a faint golden light.
"You close your eyes ......," Jianzhen said.
Zhang Fan closed his eyes as he said, but found that there was still a vast sea in front of him, which was no different from when he opened his eyes, and it seemed to be more thorough and clear! Shocked, he opened his eyes again.
"Close your eyes!" Jianzhen shouted.
Zhang Fan was prepared this time and closed his eyes tightly. The view in front of you is like no! I could see it more clearly than before, and there were countless monsters with teeth and claws flying in the black clouds in the distance!
That feeling is not to see the ghosts in the sandstorm in Loulan, in the stormy black clouds on the sea, those monsters are even more illusory, as if they are in another space, and they are not real!
"Master? ......" Zhang Fan asked in surprise.
"See for yourself! Look carefully! Jianzhen seemed to know what he was going to ask and stopped him.
Zhang Fan closed his eyes and stared, using the ability of Jianzhen to bless him to look at the sky in the distance, the black clouds. I found that those monsters seemed to be real and illusory, and they looked very much like the Yaksha I saw in the Hell Path, but their bodies flickered, and they seemed to be blocked by some barrier, and they couldn't break through!
"Master? Those monsters seemed to break through some obstacle and come here.
"They're the target, and that's me!" Jianzhen said.
"Master! ......" Zhang Fan exclaimed.
Jianzhen smiled, "They stopped me five times, well, it can be regarded as six times, this time it seems to be much weaker!" ”
"Why did the master let me know?" Zhang Fanning looked at Jianzhen fixedly, and found that his ability could not see through the attributes of Jianzhen.
Jianzhen turned his head, looked at Zhang Fan with cloudy eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "For anyone who can fight against demons, I am a Buddha believer, I have the obligation to spare no effort to help!" Your future, well, shouldn't belong here. ”
Zhang Fan was not surprised in his heart, it should be normal for this senior monk to be able to see the identity of himself and his teammates. However, when Jianzhen speaks of the future of the three of them, does he mean in other scenes, or in the precept holder shijie? Or is it the reality of shijie?
Jianzhen's next sentence actually answered Zhang Fan's question, "It doesn't matter where you are, as long as you can strictly abide by your heart and understand the true meaning of the Buddha, this is enough." ”
This time, Zhang Fan was moved, bowed deeply, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the master's guidance, the disciple will remember it." It's just that the master has already gained the ability of heaven? Or is there a sense of his heart? ”
"Magical powers are only the end, but self-grasping is the right path for us Buddhists!"
Zhang Fan listened to it and thought it was true. It's another deep salute. The two of them were talking about the Dharma when they heard cheers coming from the back side of the ship.
Zhang Fan looked back, but saw more than a dozen sailors, lying on the side of the ship, watching the jubilation in the sea. Looking into the sea again, it turns out that Akon Greenwing is sitting in Willis, driving on the sea, salvaging a strange gray and white thing.
It seemed to be very slippery, and Akon managed to grab onto it, and it slipped off again. There was a sigh on board. Or Greenwing plunged into the mass of unidentified matter and picked it between Willis. The two grabbed the gangway hanging down the ship, took Willis, and went up to the ship.
"What a big piece of dragon incense!" The sailors cheered and chatted around the gray-and-white objects on the deck.
An experienced business traveler carefully inspected this piece of dragon incense and said, "Good guy, this is the most high-quality dragon incense!" After more than 100 years of floating on the sea, the impurities have been washed away! You see, it's all white! ”
"Hey, hey! A small fortune! Akon said proudly to Greenwing, this thing was discovered by Greenwing first, floating on the sea, I don't know what it is. Asked Akon, although this kid had never seen it, he was the first to think of this special spice.
After getting it on the deck, all the crew members were envious, this is a great fortune!
Zhang Fan brought bad news to the excited two, and Akon Green Wing hurriedly put away the dragon incense and came to the bow of the boat.
Now there are no islands and reefs to dock in front of and behind the ship, so we can only watch as the storm clouds press towards this side, and the sails on the ship have been folded and the mast has fallen.
The black clouds pressed up, and with the dark clouds came an unstoppable hurricane!
In the next moment, everyone felt the most terrifying power of nature! Zhang Fan and the three of them now know what is called a leaf boat! This sea boat, which is more than 20 meters long, is like a leaf, unbearable! If it weren't for the physical strength bonus of the three of them, the sea ship would have been bumped and seasick by this stormy sea.
The sailors on board shouted to maneuver the uncontrolled sea ship. Now Zhang Fan can only see that one sea ship is still in sight, and the other two have long been blown away by the storm!
Jianzhen stood on the deck with his head bowed, regardless of the turbulence of the ship, he just bowed his head and chanted the scriptures, and the rich Buddha light on his body spread to all around, infecting all the people and becoming calm. Even this Buddha light has the ability to heal, so that some seasick and vomiting passengers have recovered. And they all feel that this monstrous wave is no longer so terrifying.
There are also storms and waves, which cannot directly destroy the sea ship. The black wind and waves are like a monstrous giant hand, just fiddling with the boat like a toy, but it can't be crushed!
In Zhang Fan's eyes blessed by Jianzhen, he could see the monster in the black wind, wave after wave of incarnation hurricane, slamming into this sea ship, but they were all outside the surging Buddha light of Jianzhen, crashing into pieces!
If this continues, this storm and waves will not be able to destroy this ship. The other ship survived because it was not directly attacked by these monsters.
Could it be so simple to break out of this storm zone?
The answer is no! I saw another sea ship suddenly untouched by the waves, and tossed at will, as if something was arching under the hull. The sailors and passengers on the ship were all screaming in fright.
Suddenly, several tentacles tens of meters long rushed out from under the black sea, each tentacle was the thickness of a water tank, and the side that grabbed the sea ship was covered with round fleshy suction cups the size of face plates. Zhang Fan could even see the recess of the suction cup, densely covered with sharp black teeth!
More tentacles rushed out from all sides of the ship, winding their way to grip the hapless square ship! As the tentacles fly, the decks, sails, and masts of the sea ship are torn and scattered! The seafarers on the ship were also swept up by tentacles and thrown into the sea!
For a while, the screams on the sea ship came and went! Zhang Fan and the three of them were stunned!
The tentacles tightly strangled the square sea boat, and suddenly, with a fierce force, the sea ship was like a walnut wrapped in tentacles, and suddenly crushed open! Immediately after, he was dragged under the dark sea by those tentacles and disappeared! If it weren't for the fragments of the sail mast still floating on the sea, one might have wondered if there might have been any ships there.
