Chapter 2445

It's like two opponents, each accumulating their own chips and trying to solve each other's chips at the same time.

When the chips accumulated by both sides are almost the same, it is the moment when Jihad really breaks out.

In the underworld, death and sleep are the only ones who control the situation now. On the side of the holy land, the one who controls the situation is naturally Saiqi, who is the Pope.

They stood in the position of the chess player, taking this upper boundary as the chessboard, and were playing chess.

After the doom of fairyland passed, Xiao Zhi and they stayed in fairyland for a few days. Then Xiao Zhi and Tong Hu left the fairyland.

After leaving the fairyland, Xiao Zhi asked Tong Hu to return to the holy land first with Shi ang, di Cao and ye. As for him, he took the silver robe of the altar and went to Venice alone.

From the Qing Dynasty to Venice, you need to cross the South Pacific. Xiao Zhi took a merchant ship from Fujian to Venice.

……

The lonely ship drifted on the sea. The merchant ship was full of goods. These goods were purchased from Fujian commercial port in the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing government adopted a closed door policy. Ordinary merchant ships are not allowed to go to sea at all, even along the coast of Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The slightly larger fishing boats were smashed and were not allowed to go to sea at all. There are only occasional fishing boats of small fishermen.

The merchant ship itself belonged to the Yamen of the Qing court. Otherwise, it was for the Qing court to go to Nanyang to buy some rare items for the imperial use, or to deal with envoys of some countries in Nanyang. Itself is not open to the outside world.

As for Xiaozhi taking a boat, it is naturally the kind that God doesn't know. With his ability, it's not difficult to get on the ship silently and hide in the ship so that people can't notice it.

Even if Xiao Zhi is willing, even if he is swaggering around the boat, he has many ways to make people can't see him at all.

The crew of the merchant ship are coming and going. But in fact, they don't have much to do. Most of them are some sundries on the ship, and the rest are just taking time off. Those who are really busy are those who are in charge of lookout and observe the sea surface and climate.

When the crew were idle, I didn't know when, from the sea, seagulls flew over and landed on the sails. Seeing such a situation, the experienced old crew members on the ship greeted and asked the crew to start preparing for the fight against the storm.

The seagulls landed on the ship and stopped. A storm was coming.

Sure enough, it was not long before the sea, which was still clear, was shrouded in dark clouds from nowhere. For a time, the wind was blowing, and soon, the heavy rain poured in.

In the rainstorm, the originally calm sea seemed to turn over at once. The whole sea was shaking, the sea rolled, the huge waves were constantly photographed, and the whole ship swayed on the sea, as if it were a duckweed that would overturn anytime and anywhere in the storm.

Some novice crew members trembled with fear at such a scene. Those experienced crew members responded calmly.

However, I don't know if God is not beautiful. The storm became more and more violent on the sea, and it didn't stop all night.

The terrible storm raged, pushing the merchant ships around at will, and the huge waves beat down from time to time, as if to break up the ship.

In this case, not only those novice crew members, but also some experienced old crew members looked a little flustered. And finally. Soon, the thing they were most worried about came. The storm was raging and finally reached an unprecedented level.

The terrible waves on the sea surged as if the whole sea had been stirred up, and the ships went up and down in the huge waves and were thrown into the air for a while. After a while, they were sent to the bottom of the valley. All on board felt as if they were wandering between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the valley!

Finally, the ship trembled in the huge waves and seemed to be unable to support it any longer. At this time, the old crew on the ship shouted, "come on! Cut the mast! Cut the mast!"

The violent rainstorm slapped on their faces, reflecting desperate faces. Cut off the mast, which means that the ship has reached the most desperate situation. Even if this storm is over, they are afraid that they have no way to sail. They can only be driven by the ocean and ocean currents.

However, at this time, a lazy voice sounded in everyone's ears, "cut the mast? What do you do with the mast? If you cut the mast, how can I Venice? I don't have time to drift with you on the vast sea."

With the sound falling, the crew who were shivering on the ship could see clearly. From the ship, a golden light rose. The golden light rippled. Everywhere they went, centered on the ship, the originally raging and rolling sea seemed to be overwhelmed by an invisible force in an instant.

Not only that, the golden light rose into the sky and pierced into the sky like a sharp sword. The golden sword runs through the sky and directly splits the dark clouds covering the sea!

The golden light shines, the thick dark clouds disintegrate in an instant, the rainstorm is still clear, but the sunshine in the sky still penetrates the gap of the dark cloud layer and shines down. Then the dark clouds broke up completely, the rainstorm stopped suddenly, and the whole sky seemed to clear up in a short time.

The golden light pierced the dark clouds and disappeared. The sea, which had been surging, seemed to calm again. Then the golden light rising from the ship gradually converged and finally disappeared.

But at the last moment when the golden light disappeared, the lazy voice sounded again, "look at the compass, adjust the position and go back to the route. I'll go to Italy in a hurry."

This sentence fell down, and then the lazy voice said, "by the way, tonight, there are some small stoves specially opened for officials on the ship. Can you stop burning rays? It's OK to try it once or twice. You officials eat rays every day and don't feel bored. Can you change something else? I see there are some pickled beef in the warehouse. I think it's good to stew beef with potatoes tonight."

Hearing this lazy voice, the crew on the merchant ship were stunned at this time. They were all numb and didn't know how to react for a while.
