Chapter 20 Wishing
Ye Wangtian stood up, his internal energy began to circulate, and his whole body was suddenly covered with a layer of visible airflow. With a slight scolding, he turned into a wind wave and rushed out towards the primitive dense forest on the east side.
Walking through the dense forest with ancient trees, the wind howled in his ears, and the scenery on both sides retreated rapidly. Ye Wangtian was a little absent-minded. The words the old man said to him before he died still echoed in his ears. He thought of the old man's experience...
Almost everyone, including Ji Tie, has lived on this Luoqing Island for generations. It is an isolated place, surrounded by the sea, with no horizon in sight. Originally, in their understanding, the world was only
Being so narrow, this island is their entire world. Therefore, they live a carefree life, repeating the work every day, until they die of old age on this land.
The same was true for Ji Zhi and Ru Xin back then.
They admired each other and had feelings for each other, and came together just like other men and women in love on the island. The days passed like this, ordinary but full of warmth. If that person hadn't appeared, they would have slept together.
Under this familiar land.
Suddenly one day, a person who didn't belong here came to the island, causing a turmoil.
This was a middle-aged man with an average appearance, a mustache, and a very friendly smile. He should not have caused panic, but what shocked everyone was that he actually came out of nowhere!
However, he did not do anything harmful. He just walked around the island and exclaimed: "What a peaceful place!"
At this time, when he saw Ji Ji and Ru Xin, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he actively asked to give them some guidance in their cultivation.
Having seen the man's magical power of walking in the void, the two of them were filled with reverence and immediately agreed.
The man's eyes were really vicious. Ji Ju and Ru Xin were the two most talented people on Luoqing Island. Under the man's guidance, they quickly reached the state of Yihua.
The man was very happy about this and promised to take the two of them back to his sect before leaving. Hearing this, the two of them were excited and excited. Their ancestors had lived here for generations, and now they knew that they were on the other side of the sea.
With a broader world, no one could resist such a temptation, and they all readily agreed.
They hugged each other and cried, admiring their future life, and vowed to create a world overseas. When they have the man's magical power, they will return to the island and take everyone away from this narrow place and live in a broader world! This is
It was the only ideal they could think of at the time, and it became their belief.
What happened next brought all their hopes to naught.
One day, when the man was instructing the two of them to practice, a green-gold stream of light flashed across the sky in the distance. The man noticed it and stepped into the sky to catch it. It turned out to be a sword-shaped wood carving, which was covered with complex carvings.
Pattern, Duan is God
How strange! After the man carefully looked at this "sword talisman", he immediately moved his body and turned into a stream of light that flew towards the distant sea, leaving behind the two people on the island who were staring at his back in a daze. From then on,
Never came back.
Everything that happened after that could be imagined. Ru Xin, who was stubborn and arrogant by nature, was full of longing for the overseas world. She did not want to give up this only opportunity, and actually wanted to go to sea alone. Of course, Ji Ji would not agree, and the two
There was a dispute, and Ru Xin secretly built a boat on the beach alone and set foot on the vast sea. After a hundred years of lonely waiting, the old man built an empty grave for her.
When he thought about it, Ru Xin was wandering alone on the sea. Even if she arrived overseas safely, she would have died of old age long ago! Even so, who could have imagined what kind of pain the old man had in his heart during these hundred years!
My eyes are also blind! Living in darkness all my life really makes those who hear it sad and shed tears!
"I hope... in your lifetime... you can go to the other side of the sea for me... to see... the prosperity there..." This was the last thing the old man said to Ye Wangtian.
With one sentence, he passed away peacefully, which made him feel sad and sad.
Ye Wangtian, who was walking rapidly through the dense forest, was thinking about something when he suddenly heard the sound of rolling waves. His eyes narrowed and he realized that he had arrived at the eastern edge of the island before he knew it.
He stopped and looked back at the ancient trees around him. Few people came here to cut down trees. The ancient trees here were all very thick and over seven feet in diameter. Ye Wangtian nodded slightly. It was exactly this kind of wood he needed.
Ye Wangtian walked towards one of the trees. A stream of air condensed in his hand and turned into an air blade at his fingertips. He slashed diagonally through the entire thick tree. The ancient tree made a creaking sound and fell sideways.
To one side.
"boom-"
The sound shook the sky, igniting tens of feet of noisy smoke and dust, and a long ravine appeared on the ground. Ye Wangtian's figure turned into a phantom, wandering around the ancient tree, the air blade in his hand gathered together and never dispersed, and cut it horizontally.
The entire tree trunk and began to dig inside.
Not long after, after a loud noise, the surface layer around the trunk fell off, and the several-foot-thick log also split apart, revealing a dark red cylindrical piece of wood. This piece of wood was only about ten feet long and only half a foot in diameter.
, the color is much darker than that of the scattered logs, and it seems to be emitting a faint red light.
It’s tree heart!
Only ancient trees that have grown for more than a thousand years can have this redwood core. When it first appeared, it was only a tiny bit, not even the size of a fist. Like the redwood core that Ye Wangtian cut out, which is nearly two or three square meters in diameter, the tree is at least 20 years old.
It has to be more than a hundred thousand years old! In the outside world, it is considered a treasure of heaven and earth, but on Luoqing Island, there are so many ancient trees that are more than one hundred thousand years old that they are almost countless!
After Ye Wangtian cut open the heart of the tree, he left it there without asking anything. Instead, he turned to another tree and repeated the previous procedure again, not knowing what he was going to do.
Just like that, he cut out the heart of the tree piece by piece, and a large area was vacated in the dense forest on the coast. Thick branches were lying everywhere, and more and more redwood trees on the ground gathered, and he piled them on top.
At one place, a low mountain formed.
At sunset, Ye Wangtian let out a sigh of relief. On this day alone, he cut down dozens of ancient trees that were 100,000 years old and cut out dozens of pieces of the tree heart.
Looking at the mountains of redwood trees, Ye Wangtian sighed softly and said to himself: "Not enough!" Then he flashed and walked into the forest...
Soon, a month passed.
During this period, Ye Wangtian did not practice. He spent almost every day on the shore repeating the process of cutting down trees and cutting out the tree cores. At night, he returned to the old man's thatched cottage to rest. The tree cores piled up on the shore were unknown.
Juejian has occupied an area of tens of feet, and is several feet high. If you count it in detail, there are as many as one thousand two hundred yuan!
Looking at the numerous redwood trees, Ye Wangtian finally showed a relaxed smile: "That's enough this time!"
Ye Wangtian detected a piece of tree heart. When he turned his right hand over, a bone carving knife appeared. He then slashed from top to bottom, and the tree heart turned into two semi-cylindrical pieces of wood of the same size. Although the tree heart was larger than
The outer wood is several times harder
, Ye Wangtian couldn't use his internal force to turn into an air blade to cut easily, but fortunately, this carved knife was polished from the teeth of an unknown monster, and it was so sharp, and Ye Wangtian knew hundreds of techniques to use it to cut it open.
The heart of the tree is still very relaxed.
Ye Wangtian cut off the curvature of the heart of the tree with a knife and cut it into several rectangular wooden boards. Then he pulled his left hand around his waist and placed the robe made of red gray silk in front of his eyes. He looked at it carefully for a moment and then moved the carving knife in his hand again.
, the tip of the knife picked up the thread, and with a hiss, pulled out a long thread that was thinner than spider silk.
The red gray silkworm is a divine species. If it is chopped normally, even the bone carving knife cannot shake the silkworm's clothes. At this moment, it is unraveling it along the threads, but it is extremely easy. Ye Wangtian uses the silkworm silk to cut the wooden board on the ground.
Fix each piece and drag it to the shore, then pick up the second piece of tree heart and continue the previous steps.
His purpose is very clear. He wants to build a ship! An extremely strong ship that can withstand strong winds and waves, and even be struck by sea monsters!
In the next three months, Ye Wangtian repeated this process, cutting 1,200 pieces of tree heart into wooden boards, fixing them with sky silk, and then dragging them to the shore to connect with other wooden boards...
Soon, a huge ship about fifty feet long, made entirely from the heart of a redwood tree, appeared on the sea. The whole body was dark red, and each wooden board used to build the hull was half a meter thick, and it was extremely solid.
When he looked at his masterpiece, what he thought of was the old man's words and his eyes that were as deep as a dream but filled with eager longing. The oath he secretly made in his heart a few months ago was still etched in his mind.
I will go to sea in your place!
A knowing smile appeared at the corner of Ye Wangtian's mouth. No wonder he always felt that something was missing. That was it.
Ye Wangtian walked up to the hull of the ship, and the carving knife in his hand instantly appeared, and he began to carve on the hull. Like a wonderful pen, vivid paintings quickly appeared on the mahogany hull. Most of them were drawn by Ye Wangtian in the past four years.
What Dori saw and heard.
There is the introverted and humble Liang Yu, the domineering and strong Shan Shuo, the cute and cute Shan Yi, the arrogance of the young Zhang Xun, the ridiculous fat boy Muren, the lonely figure of the old man, and even the silver-eyed monster.
Ah Yin was also engraved on the hull of the ship. Next, some scenery was needed to embellish it. Ye Wangtian's eyes condensed, and an aerial view of Luoqing Island appeared in his mind.
The ancient trees are jagged...the outline of the mountain behind the dense forest...the human-shaped "Looking Stone" standing on it...the village surrounded by mountains and forests...even the old trees in front of the village and the old man's hut are like a splash of ink,
Start presenting one by one...
For a whole month, Ye Wangcai completed the carving of the entire ship. Looking at the ship now, the dazzling carvings are so vivid that they are like the original scene reproduced. The details, a look, and a smile are all expressed just right, and the macro
The whole ship also shows a magnificent momentum, almost ready to ride the wind and waves and travel far across the sea.
At this moment, Ye Wangtian was cross-legged to restore his internal strength. A surge of "intention" flourished on his own. He suddenly felt a buzzing in his mind, and the carved knife transformed from his inner thoughts began to move on its own. It trembled for the first time, the second time, and the third time.
..Ninety-nine trembling!
In the past six months, although Ye Wangtian has not practiced seriously, he has been practicing the Hundred-fold Sword Technique while building the ship. It is certainly a happy event to enter the Ninety-nine Layers at this moment.
But the next moment, a strange wave began to spread on his body. Ye Wangtian opened his eyes and smiled bitterly. He saw vague characters circulating in the air around him. This familiar wave...
I'm afraid this first trial is coming to an end! But...
Ye Wangtian looked at the huge hull, feeling empty in his heart.
Chapter completed!
