According to ancient legend, the extreme south of the world is the South China Sea. There is a whirlpool called Guixu.

The South China Sea has been a poor and wild place since ancient times. Most of the people living here make a living by the sea and rely on going out to sea to fish to maintain a poor life. Near the sea, there is a family with only two brothers. The elder brother Daniu suffered from a strange disease when he went out to sea. He has not yet recovered. He can only do some simple work in the house every day, and the task of maintaining a livelihood falls on his younger brother Erniu.

Erniu shook the purse in his hand and showed an innocent smile on his face. He and his brother and his parents had gone early. Daniu pulled him up like his father. Daniu was not only his brother, but also his father. After years of going to sea, Daniu had also accumulated a lot of savings. It was enough to bring a girl from a neighboring village into the door, but after suffering from a strange disease, he could not go to sea to work and had to feed on medicine every day. After a while, the savings had bottomed out, and the girl's parents rejected the marriage. Erniu knew his brother's thoughts. He went out with a big ship at the age of thirteen, and over the years he had accumulated a lot of wealth. This money was enough for the betrothal gift for the proposal. In a few days, Erniu planned to propose marriage for his brother and marry the girl into the door.

The small household in the neighboring village also thought that the big bull was suffering from a strange disease. Although it was not a big problem, it did not have the ability to settle down, so the more betrothal gifts he asked for. For this reason, Erniu worked hard to make money for several years. The further it was, the more difficult it was, the more he wanted to go. In a few years, he had gone out to sea with ships of all sizes and went to countless dangerous places. At a young age, Bolanger, who was already a famous South China Sea. Today, he planned to go fishing with the Yu family's large ship. The distance was long and the conditions were difficult, so the wages were high.

"Little brother, do you know, what kind of boats have you just gone to the far sea recently?" A middle-aged man dressed in a scholar blocked Erniu's way and asked him.

Erniu pointed to a giant ship that broke down by the sea and said, "Sir, if you want to go to the far sea, please come with me. That giant ship belongs to the Yu family. There is only one ship in the South China Sea that will go to the far sea in the near future. If you miss it, it will be difficult for you to have a chance."

"So, thank you little brother." The middle-aged man took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Erniu. Erniu was happy and had a smile on his face. He had received rewards from others over the years. It is rare for him to be as generous as a middle-aged man.

Erniu took the man through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the boarding place of the ship. Erniu stepped forward and said to a white-haired old man, "Uncle Ming, this young man is going to the far sea." After that, he ignored the middle-aged man and boarded the boat alone to clear the deck.

"Old Yu Tianming is the manager of this 'Longji'. I wonder where the young master wants to go?" The old man put down the account book in his hand and greeted the man in front of him. Every time he went to sea, he would ask for the person who went to sea, and naturally he would collect some silver according to his feelings. The man in front of him looked extraordinary. If he wanted to follow the Longji's to sea, it would be an additional income, Yu Tianming would naturally be happy. "I'm going to Deng Nongqing, this time, I wonder if you can go to Xu Island?" The man shook the paper fan in his hand, and there was no sadness or joy in his expression. He was obviously thirty years old, but it made people feel a sense of vicissitudes.

"Wangxu! Since the young master knows this island, he must also understand the advantages and disadvantages. Yes, we are going to the Wangxu Island this time. If the young master insists on going, I will do this." Although Yu Tianming agreed to this matter, there was still a hint of difficulty on his face. However, Deng Nongqing had already thrown out a wallet, which was quite heavy, and he even got on the boat on his own.

Yu Tianming was very confused. This man knew a lot about the worldly ways. He just showed a hint of difficulty, and the man immediately took out a lot of money. He couldn't see through this man.

Deng Nongqing stood alone on the deck, standing upright, white clothes like snow, letting the sea breeze pass by. If he was close, he could still hear his muttering words such as "Yu Family", "Long Ji", "Ninth Time".

At night, several crew members were fishing on the boat, and Erniu was among them. He silently remembered that one of his ancestors had traveled all over the South China Sea with the boat, and even worked under a genius. He accompanied the man to every sea in the South China Sea, and even visited Guixu Sea Eye. After returning, the genius wrote the book "South China Sea Tuzhi", which was famous all over the world. Erniu's ancestors were also proud of this. Even today, Erniu is proud of his ancestors traveling all over the South China Sea. There is also a portrait of his ancestors and the genius in his home. Today, he saw Deng Nongqing, but he vaguely felt that the two had similarities, similar shapes and magicality, but he just felt that they were like each other. That person was a person hundreds of years ago, and it was impossible to have any connection with Deng Nongqing now.

"Little brother, have you been to Wangxu?" Erniu didn't notice that Deng Nongqing had already walked to his side, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and poured a mouthful of it from time to time.

Erniu was dazed. Just now, he almost thought that Deng Nongqing was the man in the portrait. The man in the portrait was also carrying a wine pot, but the person in front of him had a more vicissitudes than the portrait. He hurriedly said, "I know Wangxu. Last time I went to the far sea with a large merchant ship and saw Wangxu Island. However, the people on the boat were scared and dared not walk forward. However, this time our ship was much better than the merchant ship. Uncle Yu said that it would be on the island this time."

Deng Nongqing gave another sip of wine into his mouth, looked at the moon on the sea, sighed deeply, and said softly: "Guixu, it is Guixu."

The Longji has been driving for several months and has arrived at the far sea. It is only a few dozen miles away from Nawangxu Island, and it will be within one or two hours.

"Everyone is careful. We have already sacrificed to the Dragon King. We are going to the island!" Yu Tianming said loudly to everyone on the boat.

Over the past few days, Deng Nongqing and Erniu have had a lot of contact. Although Deng Nongqing is always taciturn and often stops speaking just one or two words, this has made Erniu gain a lot of knowledge. Deng Nongqing knows all kinds of strange fish and wonders that emerge in the sea, as if he, an experienced sailor, is a fledgling novice. Deng Nongqing often talks to himself, the most common sentence is "The ninth time". In his spare time, Erniu is also thinking about what the ninth time is, but he hasn't figured out why.

"Young Master Deng, is this Wangxu Island really what you said? Then why do we still have to land?" Erniu asked Deng Nongqing while pulling the canvas.

Deng Nongqing did not answer him, looking at the dark clouds of Wangxu Island, silent. After a long time, he said: "Guixu is the sea eye in the world. The sea water flows into Guixu and is swallowed. No one knows where he went. Wangxu is the boundary of the sea. After passing Wangxu, even though Guixu has water, it is no longer the sea."

In a blink of an eye, the Longji had approached Wangxu Island. It was just outside and the sky was clear. After entering Wangxu Island, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder in the clouds. On the island was a bare area, with no tree or a creature. Only at the center, there was a stone tablet with the word "莲" engraved on it.

After going to the island, the sailors on the boat were busy. Their purpose was to catch those strange and precious fish. Around Wangxu Island, no matter what strange fish could be found, all the fish, after arriving at Wangxu Island, tried their best to swim back. An unknown and strange attraction came from afar, sucking them away. They were facing the fishermen's fishermen's nets around them, and they did not retreat at all, as if it was even more terrible to be sucked away by that attraction.

Erniu saw with his own eyes that an extremely huge whale swam north desperately. Even if it hit their fishing net, it was not afraid at all, but the suction was too huge. The whale and the fishing net were also sucked away by that force. If the crew members had not let go quickly, they would have been sucked away by that force.

"Before looking at the Xu, it was Guixu. The sea eyes of the world devoured endless sea water." Deng Nongqing's voice sounded in Erniu's ears. Erniu seemed to see a whirlpool slowly appeared in the sea surface in the distance. The whirlpool was bottomless, and the endless sea water poured into it, but it was not bottomed out at all.

"Rumor, the end of Guixu is time! Through Guixu, you can... it can." Deng Nongqing's voice was a little excited. He held a sheep's brush in his hand and wrote a word on the stone tablet.

Although Erniu had never read a book, he also knew several numbers on the stone tablet. He saw that there were nine numbers on the stone tablet. The uppermost character "一" was already very vague, and the lowermost character was the word "小" written by Deng Nongqing.

Deng Nongqing's figure slowly disappeared from the sea. Erniu saw his body, as the sea water was sucked by the eyes of Guixu, he entered Guixu in an instant and no trace was seen again.

At this time, Erniu seemed to remember the person who traveled all over the South China Sea with his ancestors, also known as Deng Nongqing.
