Suzaku Fury

When the rains are approaching, the rain is getting more and more.

Shenduyang, located in the southwest of the South China Sea, is very foggy in the early morning at this time, and the view is extremely poor.This situation is undoubtedly the most deadly for merchant ships still sailing at sea at this time.

Since the spice trade between the early Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Kingdom became more and more frequent, more and more merchant ships sailed from the Morro Kingdom to the Great Tang via the Poison Ocean.

Merchant ships from the sea were loaded with diptero, frankincense, cloves and incense from Dashi.Food merchants traveled thousands of miles to transport these exotic spices to Datang, just to bring back precious Tubo musk, cinnamon and camphor from Datang, and agarwood from Linyi.

In this way, Shendu Ocean has gradually become the necessary waters for Dashi to go to Datang.

As the waterways on the sea became more and more prosperous, the countries that the waterways passed through gradually emerged. Some of these countries have become the gateways and fortresses of the waterways, and the rapidity of their rise is unavoidable.But in this seemingly prosperous sea area, there is a country that frightens the merchants who come and go - the death of the Buddha.

The country where the Buddha passed away is also the throat of the sea.Every large food merchant ship going to Datang through the Poison Ocean must first pass through the death of Buddha, then leave Luoyue, then enter the South China Sea, and finally arrive at Fuxu Port in Guangzhou.However, when the Buddha passed away, in the Gegesengzhi country in the northwest, the people were violent. If a merchant ship passed by, the ship would be robbed and unloaded, and people would be killed to silence them.It is almost impossible to avoid this country by going through Heling.Therefore, when merchant ships pass through this sea area, offerings must be prepared in advance and handed over.Only to save money and prevent disasters, so as to get through safely.Over time, this country was called "Sea Ghost Gate" by merchant ships, which means:

The big boat wants to pass by the Buddha, and walk through the gate of ghosts.

It was just before dawn, the darkest time of the day.The surface of Shenduyang sea is pitch black, you can't see the bright moon when you look up, and you can't hear the sound of waves in silence. There is only an invisible white mirage. The whole Shenduyang ocean is like a foggy forest carefully laid by sea monsters, only waiting for lost prey. .

Suddenly, there was a sound of pushing waves in the fog, and a faint light floated out from the thick fog, gradually rendering a yellow light in the white mirage.After a short while, a jet-black carved bow slowly protruded from the mist.

It turned out to be a large merchant ship from Dashi.

A man wearing a disdash and a coufiye, with deep eyes and a high nose, stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back.His skin was dark, with tendrils on his cheeks, and his white robe moved slightly with the sudden sea breeze.

A white-clothed man who looked like an entourage walked behind him from the other end of the deck and whispered, ",. (His Royal Highness, please come in and rest.)"

The man who was called the prince paid no attention to it and just stared at the direction of the big ship.Suddenly, the white mist in front of him became slightly chaotic, and the white Kufier he was wearing was also blown up by the suddenly stronger sea breeze.

".(It's windy.)" the man said, looking down at the windfish installed on the bow.

Dingfengyu was passed down from Datang to Dashiguo and transformed by Sinan.The outer square and the inner circle of the fixed wind fish take the meaning of the round sky and the earth; four beasts are engraved on the four sides to indicate the direction; .

At this time, the magnetic fish in the fixed wind fish first swayed slightly, and then slowly stopped.

".(Your Highness)" the attendant urged.

The man raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, and just stared silently at the little magnetfish in front of him.

However, the sea breeze had just stopped, and it came again, and it was menacing.

The Kufiye on Prince Dashi's head was blown around by the sea breeze, but he had no time to think about it anymore—the little magnetic fish that was placed in the center of the fixed wind fish was now scurrying around in the water without any rules!He was so startled that he immediately turned his head to look at the red Dingfeng Banner in front of the sail, but the Dingfeng Banner was almost blown off by the strong wind.

",. (His Royal Highness, please enter)" the attendants panicked when they saw this, and urged the man to enter the cabin again and again.Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of piercing through the thick fog, and the attendant had no time to dodge, and was shot through the head by the arrow, blood spattered on the spot, and died instantly.

Prince Dashi was spattered with blood all over his face, before he could recover, a flying arrow flew past his cheek.With a cry of surprise, he squatted down quickly, and then climbed forward under the cover of the ship's side, and shouted into the ship while crawling: ",. (Stop advancing, it's a pirate!)"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous drums sounded in the dense fog, and arrows rained down all over the sky.

Prince Dashi hurriedly rolled to the side and hid behind the wooden box to escape the catastrophe, but the crew members who heard his voice and rushed out were not as lucky as him. After a scream, they were shot through by random arrows and died on the spot .

The deafening drums were getting closer and closer, and the sea water was also churned up.The white mirage was blown onto the deck by the turbulent wind, and even the faint light on the sail was covered by the thick fog.In the end, there was only endless darkness left on the whole ship, the shaking like the sky crashing and the sound of arrows falling on the side of the deck.

Just when Prince Dashi thought the ship was about to sink, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.The man hiding behind the wooden box just tried to climb out, but heard a cry from the thick fog:

"Tali! (Rope!)"

Before the echo disappeared, frantic roars came from the dense fog, and the sound after another was not inferior to the drumbeat just now.

"Asrama! (Board the ship!)" As soon as the voice fell, the sound of horns came from the thick fog.

Although the man didn't understand their language, his intuition made him hold the dagger pinned to his waist with his backhand.

Almost at the same time, a strangely screaming pirate swung from the thick fog to the sky above the ship with a hemp rope, and then jumped onto the deck.

"(Nobody.)" said one of the pirates.

The man quietly poked his head out from behind the wooden box, and he could only confirm by his voice that the pirate who boarded the ship was standing not far from the wooden box. Fortunately, the fog on the ship was too thick, and the other party could not see the situation on the ship at all.

"Angin (wind.)" a pirate with a hoarse voice ordered, and the rest of the boarding pirates followed suit: "Angin! (wind!)"

"Angin! Angin! Angin! (Wind! Wind! Wind!)"

Deafening shouts immediately came from all directions, and within a short while, a gust of wind swept through the big food merchant ship.The strong wind was blowing, and the mainsail, which hadn't had time to be furled, was shaking back and forth, and the whole ship was shaken endlessly.This strange wind lasted for quite a while, and the thick fog that filled the boat was instantly blown away by the strong wind, and the surrounding situation suddenly became clear, and the things that had been hidden in the thick fog gradually appeared clues.

The prince of Dashi who came from the other side of the ocean couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw the scene after the thick fog cleared.

It turned out that their ship had already been flanked by two pirate ships twice as large.

Two huge pirate ships covered the sky and covered the sun, they were as tall as their ships regardless of the height of the mainsail, and four big drums were placed under the watchtower, presumably the thunderous sound of the drums just came from here .The side of the ship that can't be seen is covered with skeletons that have been shriveled to the bone, which is creepy.

The surrounding fog was completely blown away by the gust of evil wind, and it was only then that dawn was about to break in the east.

The bloody red light illuminated the frighteningly shaped pirate ship, and Prince Dashi, who was hiding behind the wooden box, discovered that the deck of the pirate ship was already full of pirates holding weapons.

"Mencapai! (There!)"

The leader of the bald giant pulled out a blunt knife and pointed at the wooden box in the corner, and the rest of the pirates immediately rushed forward when they heard the sound.

The person hiding behind the wooden box knew that he couldn't hide, so he took out his dagger and jumped out from behind the wooden box.

The bald giant was over six feet tall with a blunt knife in his hand.He was strong and dark, with black scars criss-crossing his face, making him look hideous and terrifying.At this time, seeing Prince Dashi still drawing his sword to face each other without knowing what to do, he couldn't help laughing and pushing away the minions in front of him.With just a wave of his hand, he knocked out his beautifully crafted dagger with his blunt knife in just one stroke.

The bald giant grinned grinningly after he succeeded, revealing two rows of black and yellow teeth between his cracked lips.Holding the knife to the sky, he shouted: "Found! (found)"

Before the shouting stopped, a burst of contemptuous laughter immediately came from all directions.

Although Prince Dashi was trembling with fright, his dignity as a royal family did not allow him to succumb.With his left hand covering his right arm which had just been injured by the shock, he stared fiercely at the pirate in front of him.

After the blower was installed on the mainsail mast of the giant pirate ship, a figure in black robe stood still for a moment before disappearing from everyone's sight.

The author has something to say:

Note: Buddha's death is today's Palembang in Sumatra.Dashi is the collective name for Arabs and other surrounding countries during the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, in order to restore the image of the characters, I checked everything. The official language of Dashi at that time was Arabic, and Malay was used in Sumatra... So I am sorry, I pretended to be forced QAQ, please forgive me.
