Wandao long distance

Chapter 436 Mirage
Li Qi looked at the old man, his cultivation was at level eight, and the big fish he was stepping on was a level nine spirit beast.

The old man stepped on the fish all the way to several miles away from Li Qi.

This distance, for the two parties, is already a 'face-to-face', the kind that can come in front of each other anytime and anywhere, but it does not mean that there is no reaction time at all.

"Old man, I'm here to ask for directions. May I ask how to get to Dongyu?" Li Qi asked.

"Ah, passer-by, you came to Donghai, but you opened your mouth to look for Dongyu, didn't you prepare?" The old man looked at Li Qi with a puzzled face, but the harpoon in his hand did not relax.

"I made preparations and called a boat familiar with the road, but the boat broke down on the way, so I had to go on the road physically. I thought I could see where Dongyu was with my eyesight, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. I also met a man on the way. It's only a sea loach, so I've been thinking about it, and I'm going to ask a local person!" Li Qi shouted here.

"So that's how it is. Passers-by, you wait here for a while. I'll go home and measure it for you. Dongyu will move. You must measure it every moment to find the location." The old man said.

"Then I'll wait here, please help me, old man. By the way, please accept this as a thank you gift." Li Qi said, taking out a fat pig from the mustard bag, and adding a stalk of spirit grass.

Just took it out of the mustard bag, and it's still covered with icicles.

This is the leftover from Paibomen's food. There are many fish in the sea, but there is no fat. This kind of pork should be more pleasing.

As for the spirit grass on the land, there are no more in the sea.

Seeing this, the old man changed his attitude.

"Since I got the gift, it's inappropriate for the guest to stand. Why don't the guest get on the boat with me? It just so happens that we are going to Dongyu this time. Why don't you go with us?" the old man said.

"Very good, very good, then I won't bother you." Li Qi nodded decisively as he wished for it.

It would be great if someone could lead the way, although he could definitely find it by himself, but why bother?

So, he carried the gift and boarded the boat with the old man.

When he came to the boat, Li Qi saw that the people here were all six or seven feet long, with red hair and black faces, and they were clearly different from the humans on land.

Their hands and feet are longer, their skin is shiny, even Li Qi saw that they have gills.

It is said to be a human race, but it is really not like it.

But it is also normal, the human race generally refers to all humanoid creatures, you must know that the Holy Flame clan is considered a human race.

The old man got on the boat and introduced Li Qi to the nervous men around him.

Li Qi also tactfully handed over presents right away. With the fat pig and spirit grass, everyone's attitude improved a lot and they all welcomed Li Qi aboard. Li Qi then continued to look at the boat.

This is a sea fortress with hundreds of ships connected together. It is several miles long and wide. Walking on it is no different from land, and obvious traces of spells can be seen on it.

This is a magic treasure ship, it looks simple, but the power is hidden in it, it should be their housekeeping treasure and the foundation of their foothold.

Li Qi was walking on the boat, and sea water splashed up from time to time, but everyone seemed to be used to it, and they didn't feel any resistance to things like getting wet all over the body. Socks, men and women don't mind being seen, and some even don't wear those simple clothes at all, so that they can go into the water at any time.

You can also see many children, boys and girls, all of whom are skilled, stretching poles, harpoons, etc., looking for turtles, crabs, clams, etc. in the water, competing to swim faster than fish and faster than fish. The people in the Paibo Gang have good water skills, and ordinary fish and shrimps cannot escape their hands, and they don't need their parents for food and clothing.

I also saw a pair of adult men and women. The woman steered the rudder with one hand and cooked the fish with the other, with her son and daughter on her back.

Going forward, I saw another workshop, which looked like a weaving workshop. Next to them was a pile of algae like hair vegetables and kelp, and they spread these things on the roof to dry.

Some of the dried ones were smashed by men with big bone sticks and smashed into strands of fibers. Skillful women disassembled these fibers, soaked them in some kind of potion, and then wove them into cloth. This is the most common green color worn here. cloth.

Going forward, you can see the blacksmith's shop again, beating some magic weapons clangingly.

Yes, magic weapon, there seem to be very few ores on the sea surface, so the blacksmith shop is just what Li Qi calls it. The most common raw materials for this shop are the bones of various fish, or special materials like pearls, and there are only a few Metal.

But even with only these things, it seems that a very good magic weapon has been made, including the harpoon, and many parts of this giant floating island.

After walking for a while, you can still see a huge fish, about ten meters long, which has been hunted and killed. It is hung on the boat, and someone is dismantling it.

The person who disassembled it held a knife the size of a thumb, and delicately scratched and pulled the whole big fish. This was the only metal utensil Li Qi saw after he came ashore.

However, Li Qi didn't think it was because he couldn't afford metal that he used a knife, because he knew a truth, the bigger the prey, the smaller the knife.

The more Li Qi watched it, the more interesting it became.

Is this the life of those ordinary people in the East China Sea?This is on the water, right?What about other races?
Unlike humanity and shamanism, which are mainly human races, the human races in the East China Sea are only a very small number, and judging from their appearance, they are also very demonized. It is estimated that they have a lot of demon blood, and even Li Qi can see many pure monsters. There are friendly people living on this boat, including the fish demon that the old man stepped on before.

This floating island has formed a unique ecological system. There are thousands of people living on it. They don't feel cramped. Instead, they float on the sea and live the life they are used to.

Li Qi opened his eyes.

This is the reason why he wants to go everywhere, how many scenery should there be in the heavens and myriad worlds?How many kinds of ecology, how many ways?
really interesting.

Li Qi continued to follow the old man interestingly, naturally there were countless gazes along the way, but with the old man around, they were all just curious and not hostile.

However, what attracts more attention is the old horse.

They seemed to have never seen such a thing as an old horse. From time to time, someone asked what an old horse was. When Li Qi said it was a 'horse', they were very confused.

However, after a while, Li Qi followed the old man into a houseboat.

"Guest, please come in, the compass is inside, through this, you can calculate the direction of Dongyu." The old man said to Li Qi.

Li Qima gestured with his jaw, and then looked at the compass.

The compass is placed on the niche, fine sand is laid on the bottom, and the plate is placed on the top.

But the old man came forward, took the level, set the lamp around, closed the window and looked at it, compared with engraved leaks, to determine the direction.

Li Qi watched his actions carefully, but found that he couldn't understand.

The markings on this compass are not the common north, south, east, west, or the heavenly stems and earthly branches that Li Qi is familiar with, but another kind of marking symbol.

This seems to be a set of methods that use the weather as the record, your own position as the origin, and use the scale to calculate the route.

Li Qi quickly summed up the method through observation.

This set of methods is not difficult, very easy to understand, but the effect is surprisingly good on the flat ocean.

Although the ocean is in three-dimensional space, the action can basically be said to be two-dimensional. There are no terrain differences such as hills and valleys. The horizontal plane allows the entire ocean to be in the same plane layer, so it is convenient to calculate coordinates A lot, this calculation method is very simple and easy to learn, but it is extremely accurate...

From the hands of everyone, who can develop it to benefit the world?
But it is also because it is easy to learn, so Li Qi only read it once, and he has already learned the method.

No way, Zhenzhi Yun's ability to directly read information is too strong, coupled with his vision of information flow, this delicate but not very complicated structure is something he can learn at a glance.

He couldn't even refuse to study, because Li Qi couldn't turn off Zhenzhi Yun at all, so he could only subconsciously ignore some messy information.

Moreover, this is ignoring, not shielding, he just learned to turn off his brain and let his brain ignore the useless information that Zhenzhiyun keeps sending.

"Ah, the result has come out. From here, walk towards the southeast corner in the direction of [-] centimeters, with a narrow [-] centimeters in the middle. Walk for four days and you will arrive. The guests will come with us. Come over?" The old man invited Li Qi.

"Thank you for your pointers, but I can go there by myself. Now that I know the direction, it will be much faster." Li Qi smiled and declined the other party's persuasion.

There is no need to stay, his moving speed is much faster, this will take four days, Li Qi reckons that he only needs one day is enough, most of the time in this day will be spent on finding the way.

"Guest, I'm afraid you don't know that the sea is dangerous. If you get lost, it will be difficult to walk afterwards. You can't measure it all the time. It's easy to get lost in the sea just relying on the direction I mentioned here. Scenery at sea, There is a difference of one inch in a thousand miles, if you accidentally take a wrong inch, you will be a thousand miles away from your destination." The old man advised.

Sea navigation is no better than land, basically there is no reference point at all, and the destination often moves, for example, Dongyu will move automatically, the old man is worried that Li Qi will leave alone, and accidents will easily happen.

Li Qi himself thought this way before, hoping that this floating boat could lead the way, but he just learned the other party's calculation method, so now he can already calculate the way by himself, so he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

So Li Qi replied: "Old man, I have already learned to recognize the way, so I don't need to bother you, after all, I am a stranger, and there are women and children on your boat, so I don't want to wait too long."

"Have you learned to recognize the way?" The old man was stunned.

Li Qi smiled, intertwining thousands of strands of air in his hands, imitating the big niche in this room, six inches long, half as the base, half as the axis, the base as the measure, the orifice as the eighth, and the By peep balance pivot
Afterwards, the model in Li Qi's hand started to run, referring to the astronomy, time, and current position, looking at the seven constellations in the north on the right, 93 degrees and eighty minutes, and the seven constellations on the right and west, 83 degrees and 85 minutes...

Then bring the speed of Dongyu...

"Well... old man, you seem to have miscalculated just now, but the direction is probably correct. If you follow the direction you said, do you see that we will be offset by three hundred miles? It doesn't matter if you can catch up." Li Qi pointed to the result of his calculation and said to the old man.

He didn't even think that he would make a mistake in his calculations. He had calculated all the more complicated transformations of the human body and the small world. To him, this kind of calculation was the same as oral calculation, multiplication and voting, and the result could be obtained completely by instinct.

The old man was dumbfounded, regardless of whether Li Qi's calculation was right or not, this set of procedures has basically been completely reproduced, and he can't find any mistakes.

But he still didn't believe Li Qi's statement, so he turned his head and went to check the calculation.

How could it be right for a person who is in contact for the first time?It took him half a year to master this skill.

It took a full two quarters of an hour to check the calculation, but after careful checking this time, the old man was shocked to find that Li Qi's calculation was correct. He was negligent before and miscalculated by one point, so he was wrong by a full three hundred miles.

"Guest...you have mastered this technique before?" The red-haired, black-faced old man raised his head, his original black face was changed to a red color of embarrassment, just like the feeling when he was playing with an axe.

"No, I only learned it after the old man demonstrated it to me. It's just that it's my talent. Don't be suspicious, old man. I really just came from the Western Lands. I didn't hide it on purpose, but it's disgusting." Li Qi was worried that he might misunderstand What, quickly explain.

But the old man took a few deep breaths and said: "I believe in the guest. If you really approached deliberately and deliberately concealed it, you would not show it for me. It would be better to simply say that you will not be easier. It can be seen that the guest is indeed It’s extraordinary talent.”

"It's just... the little old man studied for half his life, but he was surpassed by the guest at a glance. Dare I ask... what is the cultivation level of the guest?" the old man asked.

Hearing this question, Li Qi said, "Have you ever heard of the Nine-Rank Grading Method?"

"That's natural. After all, we have been dealing with Dongyu all the year round, so we naturally understand the nine-level classification method." The old man replied.

"I am now at the seventh rank, and I am barely qualified to travel the world alone. This time I came to Donghai to buy ingredients for an old man, and to relax myself by the way." Li Qi laughed.

"So that's the case, it's inconvenient for the little old man to stay, the guest, please go." After listening to the old man, he didn't want to keep him anymore.

Li Qi nodded, called the old horse, thanked the other party for his generosity, and left some air beads as a thank you gift, and left.

I learned the method of positioning at sea, which is very good.

However, just after Li Qi left——

This floating island made up of boats suddenly became unreal.

Then, the illusory floating island began to shake and turned into wisps of green smoke. All the vivid life on it, everyone, husband and wife, parents and children, finally disappeared under the sun.

Instead, it was a huge shell, with its mouth open, floating on the surface of the sea.

If Li Qi was still there, he would be able to recognize him.

This is one of the most famous strange beasts in the East China Sea.
