Du Heng frowned slightly when he heard this and fell into deep thought.
He once built a water temple to take in the view of the boundless sea, and he also had some understanding of the situation in the East China Sea.
The vast sea area east of the fourteen states of the Central Plains: Youzhou, Hezhou, Pengzhou, and Fangzhou, is what is commonly called the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is considered to be divided into offshore and offshore areas, and the conditions in each are different.
The area within 10,000 miles after going out to sea is considered an offshore area. There are many islands in it, and many people live on them. Most of them migrated there during the war in China.
Although the people living on these islands have been far away from the Central Plains for a long time, their culture, language, customs, etc. are all integrated with the Central Plains, so there is no obstacle to communication.
Maritime merchants from the Central Plains basically ended up in this offshore area.
Further outside, it is no longer the coastal sea, but the open ocean.
The sea area thousands of miles away from the coast of the Central Plains is called the pelagic area, and its scope is extremely vast. Even if you travel millions of miles eastward, you will not be able to see any large land.
However, although there are no land masses like the Nineteen States in the Central Plains in the East China Sea, there are many large islands.
The areas of these islands vary. Most of them are equivalent to the size of three or five counties in the Central Plains. Only a few large islands are comparable to the area of a state in the Central Plains.
Unlike the people who live on the offshore islands, who are basically the people from the Central Plains who migrated there during the war, the creatures living on these offshore islands may not even be called human beings, and should be regarded as aliens in human form.
Legend has it that their ancestors were the bloodline heirs left behind before the gods and demons were expelled from this world in ancient times. They were born with many incredible magical abilities.
In the Great Xia Dynasty after the Great Qian Dynasty, these descendants of gods and demons once served in the court and even held important authority.
Later, during Da Xi's battle against Xia, the descendants of gods and demons on Da Xia's side performed extremely well in the war, causing considerable losses to Da Xi.
Therefore, after Da Xi destroyed Xia, he expelled these descendants of gods and demons and their descendants from the land, leaving them to live on islands in the sea and never be able to return to the land.
Over time, these heirs of gods and demons and their descendants established countries on the islands where they lived, and developed civilizations with their own characteristics.
These countries were collectively called the Far Ocean Barbarians by the Central Plains Dynasty.
And because the appearance of these descendants of gods and demons is completely different from that of the Central Plains people, such as red skin and blue hair, red eyes and yellow hair, two horns on their heads, two wings on their ribs, etc., the Central Plains people have some feelings for these distant foreigners.
Another name.
That is the "Sea Clan".
In the thousands of years of recorded history of the Nineteen States of the Central Plains, these sea people are not good people.
Whenever there is a war in the Nineteen States of the Central Plains, strong men fall one after another, and the overall strength drops significantly, some sea tribes from the far oceans of the East China Sea will come across the water, preparing to land and plunder the resources and creatures on the land.
If there is any unusual movement over the East China Sea, it is most likely caused by the Hai Clan.
Moreover, at this point in time, from the perspective of the Hai Clan, the overall strength of the Central Plains has plummeted.
It is indeed very possible for those sea tribes to plan to land and plunder at this time.
However, according to historical records, the Hai Clan's landings were often carried out in one go and on a large scale, and no traces would be revealed before the actual action was launched.
It has never happened before that fog suddenly rises on the sea like this, and many light and shadow scenes appear.
At this time, Cheng Yujun stood up and reported: "Tao Zun, there is a similar situation in the sea area east of Youzhou, but no one has gone in to investigate it yet, but the people along the coast are quite panicked about it, which may affect the Great Zhou Dynasty
of stability.”
After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Du Heng relied on the secret organization established by the Taoist Palace to still secretly help maintain the stability of the country and quietly handled many major crises. This created an environment for the stable development of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
All this is to enable Dao Zun to recover as soon as possible and regain his full strength so that he can resist the evil alien god that will come to the world in more than forty years.
"Well, there is indeed something fishy about this matter." Du Heng manipulated the Taoist Master to gently nod his head and said in a deep voice, "Since this fog can kill people in the Zhen Gang Realm, the danger is not small. Next, I will send the Water God
Go to the East China Sea to find out."
"Tao Zun, there are also changes in the Western Regions." At this time, another person stood up, cupped his hands and saluted, "The countries in the Western Regions have begun to quietly unite, and they seem to have the intention of invading Liangzhou."
Immediately afterwards, another person raised his hand and said: "Reporting to the Taoist Master, there are reports from maritime merchants in the South Seas, saying that strange beasts have appeared on the islands in the South Seas and frequently attack ships passing by."
At this time, the Taoist palace became quiet.
Everyone present felt that there must be something wrong with the sudden concentration of these abnormal situations.
"Is this the influence exerted by the evil gods from outside the world on our world?" Cheng Yujun frowned, "Although the evil gods from outside the world cannot come directly in person, it is still possible to exert influence to a certain extent and disrupt the development of civilization in our world.
Did it.
"However, now that the Water God and the Gold God have been stationed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the surrounding countries should be aware of the power of these two people, but these places still dare to move. Could it be that there is some special reliance on them that is not afraid of the power of these two people?
?”
"Maybe it's a test." Du Heng also stood up and said in a deep voice, "It has been six years since Tian Xing was killed by Senior Water God. It should be enough for the Lord of the Central Thick Soil to be ready for the test."
Then, he manipulated Dao Zun and said: "I will send people to the East China Sea, the West Region, and Nanyang respectively. There is no need to worry about it. If you have other things to report next, if not, you can ask me about your doubts about martial arts practice."
This is the basic process of a Taoist palace gathering. First, report the recent abnormal events, and then explain the martial arts practice.
This is also the moment that the members of the Taoist Palace Party are most looking forward to.
Next, there was a series of enthusiastic questions, and Du Heng answered them one by one.
…
In Shuicheng County, Linhai County, Pengzhou, in a very ordinary-looking aquatic product shop.
After Fang Ning dressed herself up, she planned to go out.
At the age of eighteen, he had grown up and started to take care of the business in the shop. When the boy saw him, he smiled and asked, "Is the Young Master going out?"
"Well, I went out to meet a friend." Fang Ning nodded and left the shop.
He was very excited inside.
I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to receive the Water God, one of the Five Elements Gods, who sat down with the Taoist Master!
He was very grateful for the Taoist palace gathering.
This changed his destiny.
Two years ago, Fang Ning's family was still very poor and could only make a living by fishing at sea. He had no way of practicing martial arts, so he could basically see the end of his life at a glance.
But one night, as if in a dream, he came to the Taoist Palace and met the mysterious Taoist Master and other people who were also dragged to the Taoist Palace for a gathering.
Since then, fate has changed.
In just two years, Fang Ning has become a warrior at the breath level, the fourth level of martial arts, and is about to enter the inner strength level of the fifth level.
Looking at the entire Shuicheng County, he can be considered a little master.
"It is said that the Water God is a young woman with a beautiful appearance. I must not lose my etiquette." Fang Ning tried hard to adjust his mentality, calm down, and then went to an uninhabited coast to wait.
Last night, the Water God sent him a message through Tao Zun, giving him the time and place to cooperate with the Water God in investigating the fog in the East China Sea.
The water on this coast is very unstable and the terrain is not very good, so there are not many fishing boats going out to sea here. Only occasionally some children come here to pick up seafood washed up from the sea. Most of the time, there are no people.
Fang Ning arrived here very early, and no one came here until noon.
Suddenly, he saw a black light shining on the horizon. In the blink of an eye, the black light came into the air less than ten feet away from him and slowly landed.
Immediately, the black light dissipated, and a tall young woman wearing a dark dress, with stunning appearance and extremely cold temperament appeared.
It is the water god controlled by Du Heng.
"Greetings to Senior Water God!" Fang Ning saluted hurriedly.
In the Taoist palace gatherings in the past two years, Water God would occasionally show up, so he knew Water God.
"Are you Cangtian Lord?" Du Heng controlled the Water God, looked Fang Ning up and down, nodded gently and said, "I have been practicing martial arts for two years, and it is not bad to have such a state. Take me to see the fog of the East China Sea.
Bar."
"Senior, I don't dare call you Heavenly Lord in front of me. Senior, just call me Fang Ning." Fang Ning hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.
"It doesn't matter, this is the title of Tao Zunding, and I should call him this way." Du Heng said with a smile.
Then a black water mysterious light rose up from under his feet and flew into the sky. At the same time, another black water mysterious light flew out, swept Fang Ning into the air, and took him flying towards the East China Sea.
The so-called "Cang Tianjun" is the code name for Taoist palace gatherings.
After Daogong pulled people in, everyone was wrapped in mist and their true identity was not revealed. However, to communicate with each other, they needed a title that could represent their identity, so Du Heng used Jiutian as everyone's code name.
The center is called Juntian, the east is called Cangtian, the northeast is called Biantian, the north is called Xuantian, the northwest is called Youtian, the west is called Haotian, the southwest is called Zhutian, the south is called Yantian, and the southeast is called Yangtian.
Corresponds exactly to nine futons.
Among them, Du Heng himself is Jun Tianjun, Cheng Yujun is Biantianjun, Zhang Liuliu is Xuantianjun, and Fang Ning is Cangtianjun.
Apart from these four people, the other three are called You Tianjun, Hao Tianjun and Yang Tianjun respectively.
There are also Zhu Tianjun and Yan Tianjun who have not yet been decided, waiting for fate.
…
High above the East China Sea, the sky is as clear as blue.
Du Heng flew as a water god, and could clearly feel that the power of water in this sea area was not normal. It seemed to be inexplicably thinner, and many creatures in the sea became listless and even dying.
"Most of the water power has been gathered further east." Du Heng secretly thought in his heart, and then continued to fly forward for hundreds of miles, and soon saw scattered
Mist is scattered in this sea area.
With his eyesight, he can clearly see the scenes inside these fogs.
The pavilions, pavilions, and flying figures that appear on its surface are all extremely powerful environments. What is really hidden in this mass of mist is an extremely huge strange fish.
This kind of seawater that is more than a hundred feet long and lurks under the fog. The surface emits a shimmer that allows the fog to show a specific image. As long as someone is attracted into the fog, the strange fish will take advantage of them to indulge in fantasy.
Swallow it in one gulp.
However, the strength of the strange fish is not very strong, it is only equivalent to the ordinary Zhen Gang Realm. Therefore, those who previously entered the Zhen Gang Realm into the fog to explore were not eaten, but they were also harmed by the illusion created by the strange fish and lost.
life.
"There is something wrong with these strange fish." Du Heng's eyes swept over the fog, and at the same time he waved his hand, and suddenly thousands of black water mysterious lights scattered, and each mysterious light hit one without any bias.
A cloud of mist.
In an instant, all the fog on this sea area dissipated, and the strange fish hidden inside did not even have a chance to escape, and disappeared in an instant.
Except for the nine strange fish that Du Heng specially preserved for research, all others no longer exist.
"Senior Water God, is this solved?" Fang Ning looked at the words below in shock. He had just clearly seen the process of the fog disappearing.
Just by raising your hand and waving your hand, all those strange and unpredictable sea fogs disappeared!
Completely effortless!
What kind of power is this?!
No wonder you are qualified to stand beside Dao Zun, it is really awesome!
But at this moment, he heard the indifferent and stiff voice of the Water God again, and saw the Water God gently shaking his head and saying calmly: "This is not the end yet."
Immediately, Fang Ning felt the howling wind in his ears again.
This time, it was wrapped in that black water mysterious light and continued to fly forward.
Obviously the Water God does not think that just eliminating the fog and strange fish in that sea area will solve the problem.
"We are still flying to the east. We will soon reach the place where the distant foreigners are."
Fang Ning briefly estimated the distance to the coast and thought to himself, "It's estimated to be six to seven thousand miles away. I'm afraid it's really about to arrive. Could it be that Senior Water God wants to go directly to the distant ocean barbarians to settle accounts?"
Are these strange fogs above the East China Sea really related to the distant barbarians?
Is it their conspiracy?
For a moment, many speculations emerged in Fang Ning's mind, but soon all of them disappeared.
Because, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
I saw that the originally boundless sea ended in front of me, and a giant "wall" rising from the sea with billowing white mist connected to the sky and reached to infinite heights.
At the same time, it continues to spread to both the left and right.
This means that in the near future, this giant "wall" composed of strange white mist will cross the entire East China Sea.
The offshore area and the offshore area will be completely separated.
From then on, no one could travel between the offshore and the ocean unless they could cross this white wall.
