Yefutidaolu

Chapter 115: The East Sea has arrived
Just think about it, you know, the Zuo family will check the flying boats, the merchant caravans on land, the mountains and forests, the tower ships, the seaports, various intersections, the county town, every place...

Who is he? Does he really think Yuezhou is his home?

In Gao Jian's opinion, even if it was the Zuo family, the local aristocratic families would definitely be unhappy if they conducted such a level of screening in Yuezhou, and they would definitely ask the reason.

Can the Zuo family explain the reason?
Of course not.

If the reason is revealed, doesn't that mean that the Zuo family will be severely controlled by the noble families of Yuezhou because of this incident?
As an aristocratic family, the Zuo family is not easy to deal with. Their various methods and resources make Gao Jian dumbfounded. So... are the aristocratic families in Yuezhou easy to deal with?

The same, everyone is of the same level, and the Zuo family is even a little poorer. After all, Cangzhou is a remote and poor place, and you can't get much money even if you squeeze its bones.

Yuezhou is a big province, much larger than Cangzhou. The local aristocratic families are die-hard supporters of the Divine Dynasty, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Divine Capital Yangjing. They are the best of the good families and have access to more resources than those in border areas like Cangzhou.

After all, when it comes to aristocratic families...

In the world today, the most powerful family is actually the 'royal family'.

Therefore, the resources that the Zuo family can mobilize are limited, and are only limited by how big their "face" is.

The only reason they were allowed to search here was because of 'face'.

It is impossible for the Zuo family to act so recklessly here. They don’t have that much face.

Therefore, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan.

The best bet is that they won't choose to invest a lot of energy in the water flow at the estuary because the impact of doing so is too great.

If you want to screen the estuary of a large river.

Then you need to check not only the ships coming and going, but also the entire underwater area.

Whether it is fish, something that needs to be hidden under the water, or even the corpses thrown into the river and washed away every day, the Zuo family must go deep into the water and check them one by one, and may even need to cut off the river itself.

Gao Jian absolutely believed that they had such ability.

For high-level practitioners, cutting off a river and then examining what is inside is not something incredible. They can indeed lift a river.

But the premise is that 'the river has no owner'.

The river at the estuary is too big to be dealt with, and since the Zuo family cannot control it all, the river will be one of the few breakthrough points.

Thinking of this, Gao Jian closed his eyes and let himself be washed away by the current under the water.

Find a stone and tie it around your waist to press yourself down so that you don't float to the surface.

then……

Take some sleep.

I was so nervous all night and so tired.

"Dansha, I'm asleep."

"Just sleep well." Dansha replied softly.

Now that the big He Luo fish has been handed over, then... just believe it.

----------

Five days have passed.

For five days, Gao Jian didn't leave the river at all and was washed all the way to the sea.

When he was hungry, he would catch fish to eat; when he was irritated, he would eat some algae. He lived a life like a wild beast and never came out of the water.

After all, water itself has a certain concealing ability.

This concealing ability comes from "water transportation".

People have destiny, countries have destiny, and water has destiny. The destiny of a river flows along the river, which can not only wash away possible smells, traces, etc. on a physical level, but the destiny itself can also prevent some detection methods.

It's like hiding in a lead box when doing an X-ray scan. The probe will be bounced off the lead box and cannot penetrate deep into it.

If you want to investigate, you must use your exploration methods to penetrate the waterways of the rivers.

Even the Zuo family wouldn't be able to maintain this level of investigation continuously for twelve hours a day, right?

So Gao Jian moved carefully under the water.

It's safe to do this, the only problem is that it's uncomfortable.

If he had a choice, Gao Jian actually wanted to choose a flying boat that could reach the East China Sea in one day.

It is cold and dark at the bottom of the water, your whole body is freezing, it is difficult to keep your feet on the ground, and there will be carnivorous fish and even large aquatic beasts that may attack you. It is really painful.

Moreover, the most difficult thing is actually getting along with those building ships.

The ship was moving very fast and the waves it created were huge. Gao Jian was often caught in the turbulence, and the people on it defecated and urinated into the river, so Gao Jian had to stay away from it.

As for being hit by rocks and tossed around by waves, that is commonplace.

The only food they can eat is raw meat and algae, and they have to eat this for five days at a time. It's really a torture.

Gao Jian thought he was a very patient person, but after five days he could hardly bear it anymore.

It's really hard.

However, the good thing is that we are now very close to the estuary.

"I can already smell the ocean current, look, those are sturgeons and shad," Dansha reminded.

"Anadromous fish, right? That looks like it's getting closer." Gao Jian nodded.

Anadromous fish are those that usually live in seawater, but during the breeding season or other times, they will choose to migrate into freshwater.

They have the ability to live in both fresh water and sea water. Seeing them means that the estuary is approaching.

"The name is quite appropriate. You are quite good at naming. But that's about it. Be careful. As long as you enter the East China Sea... everything will be over. I can't say anything about the Zuo family. The Divine Dynasty family is very strong, but the Baishanjiang Dragon Palace will definitely die." Dansha said viciously.

Although compared to her voice, this kind of viciousness seems a little cute.

But Gao Jian knew.

She means it.

Thinking about it this way, suffering for five days is nothing.

Gao Jian couldn't help but feel cheerful. Although there were more and more ships near the estuary, the situation on the bottom of the water was getting worse and worse, and the waves were getting more and more chaotic, but it was difficult to fish in troubled waters, and he would be safe soon.

"From this perspective, the estuary is at most a hundred miles away, which is very close." Dansha couldn't help but cheer.

After all these years, she can finally... go home.

"By the way, your swimming skills have improved rapidly. Now you should be much better at swimming than ordinary humans." Dansha couldn't help but bring up other topics.

There's nothing she can do about it, she's just very happy now.

She seemed to be interested in everything, and the dragon soul seemed to be much more active. Gao Jian rolled his eyes. He had been in the water for five days, fighting various water beasts every day, struggling in the waves stirred by a lot of building ships, and was almost crushed by a building ship once. Being able to survive can be said to be a strong enough body for a third-level warrior.

The water-repellent beads also played a significant role. If there were no water-repellent beads, I would have lost my strength after being soaked in water like this. Water is actually very "sticky".

The faster the water flows and the higher its viscosity, the more it can pull on the human body. Therefore, in a fast-moving water flow, people will find it difficult to move. The resistance given by the surrounding water will become very high, and they can only be carried by the water.

Gao Jian managed to hold on for five days in this state.

It is reasonable that the water properties have been improved.

"However, most people won't improve as fast as you in five days. Now you are almost more agile than a fish in the water. Gao Jian... You really are a genius, right?" Dansha said suddenly.

Gao Jian's swimming skills are improving at an astonishing rate.

If a person is smart, he will make rapid progress in whatever he does.

"I've always been a genius, what's the problem?" Gao Jian answered casually.

"There is no problem now, but I feel that... your talent may soon become an obstacle for you." Dansha seemed to have relaxed and suddenly said something deeper.

If it was Dansha who was wary of Gao Jian at the beginning, she would never say this. Even if she thought so, she would carefully hide these words.

But as they were almost at the East China Sea, she seemed to relax and chose to say something that could only be said to people who trusted each other.

"Become an obstacle? Why? Can geniuses also make mistakes?" Gao Jian didn't quite understand.

Dansha explained: "Genius generally takes two forms."

"Generally speaking, geniuses are gifted in a particular area, such as calligraphy, combat, talisman drawing, or playing the piano. They may appear unremarkable in other areas, but in their own field, they burst forth with astonishing creativity and spirituality. They focus on the area they love."

"But there is another kind of genius. They have no 'spirituality' and no outstanding mastery or creativity in any field. They learn anything at the same rate as ordinary people. The only difference is that they master it much faster."

Dansha organized his words, trying to accurately describe his point of view: "Probably, compared to the first type of genius, who has a specific talent for a certain project, people like you, Gao Jian, have a talent for the act of 'learning', which is a completely different direction. In a sense, for ordinary people, people like you are like omnipotent, and can do everything."

"I have seen the lake of your heart in your divine gate. It is broad and flat, so I can be sure that you are such a person."

I don’t have any spirituality and I don’t have any special feelings about other projects, but I learn quickly.

It's not about having a talent for a certain thing, but having a talent for the act of "learning" itself.

Such a person can easily be called an 'all-rounder'.

"Isn't this great?" Gao Jian felt that cinnabar was a very apt description.

He certainly didn't have any special "intelligence" for anything, but so what? His heart was vast and broad, a manifestation of his talent. He learned everything very quickly.

The characteristic of this type of heart lake is "inclusiveness". It can accommodate various ways of thinking, various different ways of cognition, learn things quickly, and adjust itself quickly.

Correspondingly, if the heart lake has a "special" shape, for example, if the heart lake of a practitioner who practices evil methods is narrow, dark, and dull, then when he comprehends those vicious and narrow techniques, he will have extraordinary comprehension.

But at the same time, when he comprehended the magnificent magic, he found it difficult to understand and couldn't understand why there would be such self-sacrificing idiots.

This 'special' type of heart lake is 'spiritual' about certain things, but may be disabled in other aspects.

A genius who can calculate 10,000 digits of pi in his head may not be able to tie his shoelaces.

To be fair, Gao Jian felt that his own was better.

So he didn't quite understand why Dansha said something like "becoming a hindrance to oneself".

"Well, for mortals and practitioners of low realms, this is indeed a good talent, but the problem is that when you reach a high level, you will become...unreachable to them."

"When that time comes, you will find that even if you know everything, you are still just a little bit away from the peak, and you may never catch up with this in your entire life."

From the perspective of the Seventh Realm of Dansha, Gao Jian learns things very quickly, but... he doesn't seem to have much spirituality and is very rigid in what he learns.

He learns whatever is taught.

Although they learn quickly and can even reach the teacher's level quickly, it is difficult for them to break through and surpass the teacher.

This is already a terrifying talent for ordinary practitioners, because they can only learn anything in such a rigid way, and their speed is far slower than Gao Jian. But for those truly spiritual geniuses, Gao Jian is just a large wooden barrel that knows a little more than ordinary people.

"For a genius of your level, this kind of thing must be difficult to accept, right?" Dansha's voice sounded a little worried.

They were almost reaching the East China Sea when she said this because she felt that perhaps Gao Jian would be able to accept it a little bit now.

However, contrary to her expectations, Gao Jian curled his lips and said, "Is there such a thing? I don't believe it."

"Huh? You don't believe it?" Dansha was stunned.

She is at the seventh realm, and this is the vision of a seventh realm!
"You are too stupid and what you say is not credible." Gao Jian replied.

He's saying now that he won't be able to do it in the future. Dansha is really taking advantage of him. As soon as they get to know each other a little, he starts to show his displeasure to him.

This little dragon.

"Hmm..." Dansha held it in, and then stopped talking, hiding in Gao Jian's mind.

I kindly reminded him of future problems, but he still said this...

I won’t talk to him about this anymore!
"Cinnabar?" Gao Jian called out at this time.

"What?" Dansha's voice was still a little angry.

"Thank you. Although I can't use it, I appreciate your kindness." Gao Jian said.

Dansha said nothing.

Gu... Never mind. If you have any questions, just tell him so that he won't suffer any loss.

If he doesn't listen, I won't tell him anymore!
As for Gao Jian, he went all the way down.

In the end, the distance was less than a hundred miles.

He was speeding underwater.

This river is hundreds of meters deep, so the bottom of the water is very dark. Gao Jian needs to concentrate very hard to avoid obstacles and pass through it. Even so, he is still ambushed by water beasts and hit by rocks from time to time.

But there is only a short while left.

He silently estimated the distance in his mind.

Fifty miles...

Thirty miles...

Twenty miles...

Five miles.

One mile...!
There were no obstacles throughout the journey! The Zuo family didn't find him!

East China Sea, here we are!
