Chapter 48 Ming Treasure Ship
Chapter 48 Ming Treasure Ship
The realm of ghosts and gods often possesses unpredictable power, but there are also differences in strength. Some realms of ghosts and gods can only alienate cultivators in the Jindan realm, but they cannot alienate those who have cultivated to the Yuanying realm.
In some realms of ghosts and gods, even great masters in the fusion realm will be alienated when they enter!
Li Jindou had already reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and was a great master who had cultivated his primordial spirit. Unexpectedly, he fell into a trap in this seemingly inconspicuous kiln factory. It was like a complete disaster!
He was extremely anxious and spoke to the two of them repeatedly, even using gestures, but after being porcelainized, his vocal cords were no longer flesh and blood, but porcelain, and the sounds he made were similar to bird calls, which outsiders could not understand.
Seeing this, Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. He took out paper and pen from the book box and handed them to Li Jindou.
Li Jindou transformed into a porcelain doll that was only slightly taller than the pen. He held the pen and wrote and drew on the paper. Only then did the two understand what he meant.
Li Tianqing said quickly: "Xiao Shi, my grandfather has been affected by the alienation of the ghost realm. It will take some time to suppress the alienation and restore his true body. The longer the delay, the deeper the alienation, and the more difficult it will be to recover. Let's return to the village quickly!"
Chen Shi's eyes sparkled as he suggested, "As long as you're willing to pay me some money, I can help your grandfather recover his true form."
Li Tianqing hesitated and asked Li Jindou.
Li Jindou continued writing and drawing on the ground. Li Tianqing said with embarrassment: "My grandfather doesn't believe you."
Li Jindou's face darkened, and he thought, "Although Tianqing is smart, he has one bad point, he always speaks out everything."
Chen Shi had no choice but to let them take the two of them out of the mountain.
"What did Senior Li encounter in the kiln factory?" Chen Shi asked.
The porcelain doll transformed by Li Jindou was hiding in his bookcase at this moment, sticking its head out to look out. Upon hearing what was said, it wrote and drew in the bookcase, and after a while it held up a piece of paper.
The paper contained words such as kiln workers, cave dwellings, and the origin of jars.
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. Li Jindou must have gone to the kiln factory to search for the origin of this ghost and god realm, but was chased by the kiln workers.
Looking at his writings, it seems like he was caught by the kiln workers and thrown into the cave, but he managed to escape.
"Senior Li, have you found the origin of the kiln factory?" Chen Shi asked.
Li Jindou nodded.
“What is the origin of the kiln factory?”
Li Jindou hesitated for a moment, then painted on the paper. It took him a long time to finish the painting.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing came together to look, and saw that the drawing on the paper was a statue with eight arms and four faces. The statue was sitting cross-legged, and each hand was holding a weapon.
The face of the statue was full of compassion, as if it had great sympathy for the world. However, in the eyes of the two men, they always felt that there was something weird about it. Instead of being compassionate, it made people feel creepy.
"What kind of statue is this?" Chen Shi asked puzzledly.
Li Tianqing said: "Eight-armed Doumu Bodhisattva."
Chen Shi knew nothing about this and was about to ask when Li Jindou held up a piece of paper with the word "porcelain" written on it.
The two men realized that the Eight-Armed Dou Mu Bodhisattva statue was not a statue, but porcelain.
Li Jindou took back the paper and raised it again. The words "very high and very big" were written on the paper.
"A large porcelain statue of Bodhisattva is the origin of this realm of ghosts and gods?"
While the two were thinking, Li Jindou held up another piece of paper with the word "removable" written on it.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were both stunned. What does movable mean?
Is it the Bodhisattva statue that is movable, or is it the realm of ghosts and gods that is movable?
"Either is fine." Li Jindou held up the paper.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing looked at each other and their expressions became serious.
"This ghost realm and the Bodhisattva statue are a huge evil."
Li Tianqing murmured, "If it moves, won't all living things turn into porcelain wherever it passes?"
Chen Shi couldn't help but shudder. If this evil Bodhisattva moved, Huangpo Village would be the first to suffer!
"Fortunately, this evil Buddha has never moved." He smiled, feeling really unsure.
Just because it has never moved, doesn't mean it will never move.
Just like many people believe that the true God from outer space never changes, didn’t it get dark a quarter of an hour earlier a few days ago?
Li Jindou originally planned to go to the kiln factory to look for clues about the True King's Tomb. He did not find the whereabouts of the True King's Tomb, but he did find out the origin of the ghost and god realm of the kiln factory, which was also a great gain for Chen Shi.
He wanted to ask if anyone had seen other porcelain dolls, but Li Jindou was very frugal with words, so he didn't ask too much.
It is believed that these porcelain dolls were caught by kiln workers and thrown into the kiln to be burned.
They returned to Huangpo Village. Li Jindou hid in the west wing. His soul suppressed and turned into porcelain, trying to restore his true form. Li Tianqing went to take care of him, but found that he could not help at all, so he had to retreat.
Li Jindou's porcelain transformation lasted for a short time, and his own cultivation was extremely powerful. By the time he had dinner in the evening, he had already refined the porcelain from his head and turned it back into the head of the Six Yangs.
With a head, reversing porcelainization would be much easier, but his small body with a normal person's head on top looked incredibly ridiculous.
But at the same time it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful and your neck tilts, your head may break the porcelain neck and roll down.
He didn't dare to turn his head, let alone lower his head.
By midnight, when everyone was asleep, Li Tianqing had fallen asleep, and only Li Jindou was still working hard.
At this time, whispers were heard in the yard, and it sounded vaguely like Chen Yindu's voice.
"The moonlight is so beautiful today, I want to eat someone!"
"Black Pot, you smell so good! You should eat the Black Pot first."
"To raise a grandson and prevent him from starving, you should start by eating him from a young age!"
"No, I can't bask in the moonlight...but they smell so good, and so do my neighbors! I have guests today, so it's hard to go out...and the guests smell so good too."
……
Li Jindou was so frightened that he trembled and his neck was almost broken.
His mind was suddenly turned into porcelain when he was distracted. He quickly calmed down and suppressed the porcelainization. However, it would probably take longer to restore his true form this time.
The next day, Li Tianqing got up to check on him, only to see that Li Jindou was no longer sitting cross-legged, but lying on the bed. His body above the chest had regained flesh and blood, but the part below the chest was still porcelain.
It's just that the upper body is that of an adult, while the lower body is as small as a porcelain doll, which looks indescribably strange.
Suddenly, Li Tianqing seemed to remember something, and rushed out in a hurry, shouting: "Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi! I may have found the clue to the True King's Tomb!"
He pulled Chen Shi and ran out, saying with a smile: "Now that we have found the tomb of the True King, there is no need to arrest you, and I can go back and report back!"
Chen Shi followed him, and the two of them came to the vicinity of the kiln factory. Li Tianqing looked around carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Found it!"
He walked quickly forward and came to an open space outside the kiln factory. There were only scattered weeds but no trees.
Li Tianqing walked forward along the open space, very excited: "This is a road, the road leading out of the kiln factory!"
Chen Shi didn't quite understand.
Li Tianqing walked along this rugged mountain road and explained: "When the road was built, they used large stones to tamp the rocks, and then poured rice soup on it. It was often trampled, so it was difficult for plants to survive for thousands of years. You can see that there are dense forests in other places, but only sparse weeds grow here, which shows that this is an ancient road!"
Chen Shi looked around and found that this place was indeed different.
However, the road is narrow and covered with low bushes on both sides. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that this is a mountain road.
Chen Shi asked in confusion: "Why are you looking for this road?"
Li Tianqing said: "When the True King was buried, the fired porcelain and pottery were sent to the True King's tomb. In other words, as long as the road is cleared, we can find the True King's tomb along this road!"
Chen Shi was full of admiration and praised: "Tianqing, you really know a lot."
Li Tianqing smiled and said, "Whenever I have free time at the Li family, I read books. The more books I read, the more I know."
Chen Shi looked around and said, "But this road is not the way to the True King's Tomb. I have been to the True King's Tomb many times and I am very familiar with it."
"Isn't this the way to the True King's Tomb?"
Li Tianqing was very confused, "So where does this road lead to?"
Chen Shi looked around, also looking confused.
He had traveled almost all over Qianyang Mountain with his grandfather, but had never been here.
The two were in a playful mood and walked along the road. The road was not smooth. In some places, the road was broken and turned into cliffs, which should be caused by an earthquake.
Chen Shi climbed down along the green vines, and Li Tianqing bravely followed him. Soon they reached the bottom of the cliff and continued along the broken road. They saw that the road was getting wider and wider.
Suddenly, a dry riverbed came into their sight in the valley ahead.
The river has been dry for many years, but on the riverbed there is a large ship.
A huge ship.
The petrified ship!
Chen Shi was extremely surprised. It was also his first time to come to this strange place. He didn't know that there was such a big river in Qianyang Mountain.
Although it is dry, the width of the riverbed still shows the scale of the river at that time.
This is the first time I have seen such a huge ship.
Soon, they came to a dry riverbed and walked upstream along the river.
The outline of this river channel in the past can be seen. The river surface is dozens of feet wide, and the water seems to have dried up very quickly. There are even some corpses of large fish at the bottom of the river, which have been petrified.
The big fish is extremely large, with a mouth full of ferocious and sharp teeth. They can even pass through the big fish's mouth and come out from the throat.
Chen Shi looked at these strange giant fish bone fossils and suddenly realized: "This big river is Dejiang!"
Li Tianqing was puzzled: "How do you know this river is Dejiang? Dejiang should be on the other side of the mountain."
"Because this fish is a large fish that is unique to Dejiang River. Its name is Gun and it likes to eat people. Something must have happened that year to change the course of Dejiang River."
He talked about Granny Sha using him as bait to fish. Li Tianqing's eyes widened when he heard it. He said excitedly, "This is fun! Xiao Shi, borrow Granny's fishhook and try to hang it on me!"
Chen Shi thought about it and shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous and it's easy to die."
Li Tianqing had no choice but to give up.
The two continued along the river. In the river there were not only fossilized skeletons of large fish, but also fossils of various other aquatic creatures, all of which were strange and bizarre.
They came to the huge ship and saw that it was 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide. The hull was petrified, but the wood texture could be seen.
"A petrified wooden ship? How could there be a petrified wooden ship? This doesn't make sense."
Li Tianqing walked around the big ship and murmured, "This ship was petrified by a strange magic. If the petrification is released, it can still cross the ocean and ride the wind and waves. Wait a minute, the style of this ship seems to be the legendary treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty..."
He looked dazed, and muttered, "The Great Ming Treasure Ship, it turns out there really is a Great Ming Treasure Ship in the world! Is this Great Ming Treasure Ship left behind by the True King? Could it be that there is a way to return to our homeland on this ship?"
Chen Shi was puzzled and asked, "What is the ancestral land?"
"The ancestral land is the Ming Dynasty, it is the divine land!"
Li Tianqing said excitedly, "This is where our ancestors came from! Do you know where our ancestral home is? Do you know why this place is called Xinxiang, Xiniu Xinzhou? This history is recorded in the ancient books of my Li family!"
He suppressed his excitement and told the story slowly.
Many years ago, a eunuch named Sanbao, under the order of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, led a fleet of Ming treasure ships with 27,000 people into the dark sea with high winds and rough waves.
After seventeen years of drifting and floating in darkness, the fleet finally found a strange continent in the dark ocean.
A continent that no man has ever set foot on.
The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and is home to countless rare and exotic animals.
Twenty-seven thousand Ming soldiers cut down trees and built a city dock on the coast of this strange continent, which they called Xinxiang.
I mean, a new hometown.
Xinxiang was opened as a port and built as a city, becoming the first place of residence of the Ming Dynasty in this area.
Eunuch Sanbao returned and reported to Emperor Chengzu, who was very pleased and named the new continent Xiniuzhou.
Since then, Chinese people have been migrating to Xinzhou in an endless stream, expanding the territory, and the Ming Dynasty unified Xinzhou, Xiniu.
All people today are descendants of the immigrants of that time.
"We have lost contact with our ancestral land for a long time. Since the death of the True King, Emperor Jiajing has not sent a new king to rule Xiniu New Continent for more than 6,000 years."
