Chapter 694

The most western part of the mainland is the no shore sea. Dongqin is not a country close to the no shore sea. Along the no shore sea, there are many small countries, and even many tribes.

It is said that the no shore sea is unknown, so no one is willing to live near it. The eastern Qin Dynasty further delimited the territorial circle, leaving a no man's land between the eastern Qin Dynasty and the no shore sea.

But it was only at the beginning that there was no one. After generations of changes, many tribes chose to make a living there. Because there was no great power control there, and because of their existence, the boundless sea was no longer connected with Dongqin, so Dongqin did not ask those small countries and tribes to submit, and gave them relative freedom.

However, those people still have a very difficult life, because although they are guarding the sea, they dare not make a living by using the sea. There is a thick fog on the shore less sea all year round, and no matter how strong the wind is, it can't disperse. People have also tried to let fishing boats go out to sea. Unfortunately, fishing boats can't go far and they will be trapped in the fog. They can't catch any fish, but they also fold in many people.

Gradually, they gave up the idea of fishing and turned to farming. Fortunately, crops could grow on the land, so people would not starve to death. Once in a while, they would do some small business with Dongqin. After so many generations, they survived tenaciously.

Shatu, the city farthest west of the eastern Qin Dynasty and closest to the boundless sea, belongs to Qingzhou Prefecture. Between satu and the boundless sea, there is a small country named Lantang.

On this day, all the royal families of tanglan gathered at the seashore and knelt down facing the seashore. They recited the unique prayer of tanglan. They begged the God of the sea with their most devout heart to calm their anger and to continue to protect the people of tanglan.

Yes, they have always believed in the God of the sea. Every tanglan people's home worships the statue of the God of the sea. They think that there are gods in the boundless sea, and the heavy fog on the sea is an illusion cast by the gods. They also firmly believe that as long as they pass through the fog, they can reach the territory of the sea god, so that they can escape from the world and become gods, live with the heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.

Every new year's day, the people of tanglan would offer sacrifices to the God of the sea. They would take out the best food in their family and offer it to the statue of the God of the sea. Then I pray for a good weather in the future, food and clothing, and peace of the country.

In addition, when tanglan people encounter difficulties, or have a knot in their heart, or have a strong desire to achieve with the help of the power of the gods, they will also choose to worship the God of the sea. It's like Chinese people burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

Therefore, when the boundless sea changed and the waves surged fiercely, the tanglan royal family decided to come to the seaside to worship the gods.

In addition to setting up incense cases, they also caught a man, a crazy scholar, Meng Li, who they thought was slandering the gods and extremely disrespectful to them.

It all originated from a miscellany written by Meng Li. In his miscellany, he once wrote that he met an immortal on the seashore of Wuan. He came and disappeared out of thin air, leaving only news about the queen surnamed Feng on the other side of Wuan.

No matter what empress surnamed Feng is, and no matter how many shocking actions empress surnamed Feng has made in the miscellaneous records of Na Mengli, what they care about is the saying "the other side of the sea without shore".

Since the boundless sea is called the boundless sea, it means that there is no shore. Where is the other side without shore?

Meng Li's statement obviously violates the taboo of Poseidon, and he wrote this statement into a miscellany, which is a blatant provocation to the authority of Poseidon. So the God of the sea was angry, so the boundless sea was not calm.

It's been several months. The waves of the boundless sea are more and more fierce day by day. Now the waves are more than five feet high. Even the tanglan people who are most familiar with the boundless sea feel the pressure. The city territory continues to retreat. The power of the huge waves has made them lose two cities. Tang Lan is originally a small country, and the city is only ten. If it goes on like this, Tang Lan will be gone.

The place where they are kneeling now is not a beach, but a city of tanglan kingdom. However, this city has become a dead city. No one lives here any more. Everything has been emptied, leaving only empty houses.

The reason why they can kneel here and face the boundless sea is that the boundless sea has completely engulfed the two cities in front of them, and the coastline has spread to the edge of the city. The originally prosperous city is now the seaside.

The tanglan people tied Meng Li to a big tree. The root of the tree had already gone into the sea. Meng Li was tied to it and half of his body was immersed in the sea water. When the huge waves came, the sea water would not reach his neck, and occasionally it would pour into his mouth. It was difficult to breathe.

The tanglan people kept reading the scriptures of prayer, praying for the God of the sea to stop his anger, and also kept telling the hope that the God of the sea would swallow up Mengli, and all the sins would be borne by Mengli alone.

Unfortunately, Poseidon did not seem to hear their prayers at all, and the waves were still higher day by day.Meng Li's nerves are a little bit abnormal, he kept shouting: "there is no God of the sea, you stupid tanglan people, you don't know anything, there is no God of the sea, what are you praying for? This is a sign of the coming of the roar. This is a natural disaster. If you don't go back to evacuate the people, you are kneeling here to chant scriptures. Are you stupid? "

Unfortunately, no one listens to him. People are still chanting sutras. This is the persistence of tanglan people and their belief.

Another mouthful of sea water came into Meng Li's mouth, but he kept shouting: "there are no gods in this world, and there are no gods in the sea. The fog on the inshore free sea is just a sea array. As long as you can break the sea array, you can go out to fish and get the resources in the sea through this sea area. Instead of chanting scriptures here, you'd better stay away. As long as you avoid this natural disaster, you'll find someone who can break the sea array. Only in this way can your descendants live better! "

Some tanglan people couldn't listen any more and asked him loudly, "is there no God? Then why do you write in the miscellany that you saw an immortal? Why should we say that he came out of thin air and disappeared? If it's not God, who can come and go out of thin air? Or is your miscellany a fake? "

"It's true, absolutely true!" Meng Li immediately defended himself, but it was precisely because of this kind of defense that he fell into self contradiction, so that when he said this, Meng Li himself was confused.

Yes, if there is no God, what is the person you see? He really saw that person appear out of thin air, and he also saw that person disappear between heaven and earth. He always believed that what he saw was the immortal, but since he could see the immortal, why couldn't the tanglan people also see it? Obviously, he believed that there were immortals in the world, and he had seen them with his own eyes. So why deny the tanglan people's belief in the sea god now?

Meng Li was completely confused. At this time, tanglan people had a new conjecture: "crazy scholar, if what you wrote in your miscellaneous notes is true, if you have seen something about immortals that is not a lie, is it possible that the one you saw is Poseidon?"

As soon as he said this, Meng Li was also surprised. He subconsciously wanted to say no, but how could he prove that it was not?

The tanglan people continued to analyze: "you said that the immortal knew the things across the boundless sea, and you also said that he told you many things that didn't exist in this world. So how did he know? How did he know the opposite side of the boundless sea so well? Only when he is the God of the sea, can he know everything! Crazy scholar, what you see is Poseidon

Meng Li couldn't refute, and even he began to follow the train of thought of tanglan people and speculate on the identity of the immortal.

Poseidon, this is really a direction! The chance that the immortal is a Poseidon is really great.

Is it true that there are gods in the boundless sea?

"Then you will not let me go!" Meng Li suddenly cried out again, "I'm the one who has seen Poseidon. You still don't let me go!"

"No way!" Gongsun an, the emperor of Tang Lan, said in a loud voice: "the reason why Poseidon is angry is because you have made public what he said to you. Poseidon is just looking for someone to talk to. I didn't expect that you wrote the secret of Poseidon into a miscellany and made it known to all. So the God of the sea is angry. All this comes from you, who can't keep secrets! We must dedicate you to the God of the sea. Only in this way can we calm down the anger of the God of the sea and comfort those tanglan people who lost their lives in the fury of the God of the sea. Crazy scholar, you should die. No one can save you! "

"Yes! Damn you, no one can save you! "

The royal family of tanglan screamed bitterly, with endless anger in their eyes. They couldn't burn Meng Li to death.

Meng Li was also a little flustered. The immersion of sea water had made him feel the breath of death, but he didn't want to die. He wanted to see the immortal again. He was still dreaming that one day he could cross the boundless sea and reach the other side of the continent.

He wanted to live the kind of life that the immortals said. He even wanted to see the queen named Feng.

He has too many wishes not fulfilled, how can he die like this?

"Please let me go. If you don't let me go, Poseidon will be more angry! Now Tang Lan has lost two cities. Do you want to take the whole Tang Lan kingdom in Meng Li cried out, "think about it. At first, there was no shore, but the waves were more fierce than before. You couldn't hold your breath and went everywhere to catch me. What happened? You've caught me, you've banged me in the sea, and you've been kneeling on the sea all day, chanting sutras. But has the fury of the sea god gone

Faced with the trance of tanglan royal family, Meng Li's voice came again: "the sea god has not abated his anger, but the waves are more and more fierce day by day. What does that mean? It shows that you are the culprit, and you really offend the gods when you catch me! You are guilty! All you tanglans are guilty
