Gu Jiu still stood there, looking at the towering wall, thoughtful.
He had discussed this with the Empress long ago. Qingqiu was their transit station. As for the matter of the Sea of Bitterness, it could not be accomplished overnight and needed to be carried out step by step.
And this first step requires someone to go to the sea of suffering.
Although Gu Jiu had received information about the Bitter Sea, he had never been there, so this time, he and the empress would go to the Bitter Sea to explore one side, understand the situation inside, and then make plans.
The old and dead Demon Eye of Qingqiu and the sudden intervention of the Yingxianmen force have brought a lot of variables to their plans, so some things must be done as soon as possible.
According to his original plan, he was going to rest in Qingqiu for a while, but now it seems that he doesn't have the time.
Today's Qingqiu is destined to be heavy.
At night, the walls without the magic eye can no longer completely block out the terrifying night scenes.
The doors of every household were closed, and the guards were stationed on the city walls, ready to go.
The imagined scene of evil demons invading did not appear. Perhaps it was because the monsters in the darkness had long been accustomed to this land and could not get close to it, so they did not come over for the time being. It might also be because the dead Teng Snakes and Yingxianmen immortals in front of the Demon Eye Wall were too intimidating, making the monsters dare not approach.
In the lunar world, the evil demons in the night are also divided into intelligent and unintelligent ones.
The wise ones, seeing the dead Teng Snake and the immortal, would naturally know that Qingqiu could not be provoked, but the foolish ones could not say for sure.
They only have the most instinctive desires and don't have too many concerns or fears.
So they died quickly, but in large numbers.
The night when Qingqiu was shrouded in the terrifying darkness passed quickly, and the clan did not encounter any unexpected situations.
But without the protection of the Demon Eye, Qingqiu is no longer as safe as before.
Gu Jiu asked Liu Wan and everyone else to stay here to provide support and protect Qingqiu's safety, while he and the empress went to explore the Sea of Bitterness.
No one dared to disobey the decision made by the Empress and Gu Jiu, so the Topaz Star Boat stayed outside for only two nights before setting off again.
But this time, there were only Gu Jiu and the Empress on this huge ship.
Chapter 12
The huge topaz star ship set off again under the gaze of everyone and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
The ship, which was once quite lively, now only has the Empress and Gu Jiu left.
Gu Jiu pulled out the rattan chair from the sword bracelet, then lay down on it, looking relaxed and contented.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still cloudy today and there was no sunlight, he would have felt like a wealthy man on vacation on a yacht at sea.
The empress sat at the bow of the ship with the incomplete map in her hand. She did not ask Gu Jiu which way to go, but just moved forward in the general direction.
Because Gu Jiu was a directionally challenged person and only remembered the general scenery along the road, asking him to find the specific direction was purely wishful thinking.
This time, the reason why Gu Jiu was so relaxed was because of the empress who was driving the boat.
With the Empress around, he doesn't need to take action even if the evil demons in the Taiyin Realm and the Yin World are so fierce.
He had already told Wu Mei that he only wanted to curry favor with someone powerful during this period of time.
After being hugged by others for so long, Gu Jiu finally found a thigh to hug. He had to admit that it felt really comfortable.
For example, now, in this extremely dangerous Taiyin Realm, he has the illusion of returning to Linshui Town.
At that time, his waist was not in good condition and he was lazy. He would sleep for more than ten hours at a time, and time seemed to be blurred.
But he still likes that time very much. At that time, he was relaxed and comfortable, without too many things to worry about.
Even if there was, he was too lazy to worry about it at that time.
But ever since Tang Kingdom's spiritual energy began to disappear, he had no choice but to get busy, feeling like he had no control over his own affairs.
But this was his own choice. He could ignore everything and continue to live a life of idleness and wait for death. At worst, he would welcome the end of the world with the people of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not do so in the end.
As a time traveler, Gu Jiu, who has been influenced by martial arts novels and heroic movies since childhood, still has a bit of heroic spirit in his bones, although he likes to stay at home forever.
Just like he said, he will retire after saving the world. If the world completely collapses due to his lack of participation and he can't even find a place to live and wait for death, he will regret it.
The Empress sat at the bow, silently steering the Topaz Starship across this desolate land.
With the Topaz Star Boat, the first part of the journey will be in simple mode. No matter whether it is day or night, most monsters and ghosts will automatically retreat when they encounter the Topaz Star Boat.
A few who are not smart enough will be swallowed by the topaz.
The empress knew that the greatest test would come from Guiyuan.
When the Topaz Starship arrived at the west coast of the Tang Kingdom, its surface was covered with various huge scars and looked like it was about to collapse.
Since entering the Taiyin Realm, she only felt that the wild man holding the giant hammer was a threat. In other cases, those little monsters and ghosts were just appetizers for this ship.
Night fell quickly, but the darkness was still isolated by the Topaz Starship.
The night here was too dark and it was inconvenient to travel, so the empress came to Gu Jiu and wanted to rest.
She looked at the lying Gu Jiu and said, "Do you have any extra chairs?"
There was no answer because Gu Jiu fell asleep.
After seeing this scene, Wu Mei couldn't help but get angry.
This Gu Jiu is too ignorant.
Not to mention helping to steer the boat, you're sitting so comfortably, why don't you give me one?
She looked at Gu Jiu lying on the rattan chair, stretching to the extreme, and she also wanted to lie like that.
To be honest, for so many years, the world has belonged to her, and the empress can basically get whatever she wants, so it has been a long time since anything can attract her, but at this time, she really wants Gu Jiu's rattan chair.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt that Gu Jiu's rattan chair was more comfortable than her phoenix chair, and even more comfortable than her nephrite bed.
That's why she just now frowned and asked Gu Jiu if he had any extra rattan chairs, but the guy actually fell asleep.
"Gu Jiu???!!!" Wu Mei continued with a frown.
In the end, the only answer she got was still Gu Jiu's even and beautiful breathing.
If Gu Jiu had not been traveling with the empress, he would definitely not have slept so soundly, because he knew that there were threats from the outside world. Even if they could not threaten him, they would threaten those who clung to him.
But this time it was different. With the empress around, he naturally had nothing to worry about. One who was trying to curry favor with someone should behave as one should.
Looking at Gu Jiu who was sleeping like a pig, Wu Mei had quietly clenched her fists.
There is no harm without comparison. I drove the boat all day, and you slept comfortably here. And when I spoke, you were the first one who dared not to answer.
Looking at the rattan chair wrapped around Gu Jiu's body, Wu Mei bent her body and stretched out her vicious hand.
The next moment, the empress let out a strange cry and her right eye turned into a panda eye.
She got beaten? So quickly?
The empress was just about to try to grab the rattan chair from under Gu Jiu's butt without anyone noticing, but as soon as she did so, she was punched.
She had never fought with Gu Jiu, and she initially thought she had an idea of Gu Jiu's level. Now it seemed that this punch was a little unexpected.
Although her attention was on the rattan chair at the time, there was no reason for her to get punched, right?
How fast does this punch have to be?
Wu Mei narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Gu Jiu who was lying there. She was no longer sure whether he was really asleep or just pretending to sleep.
The next moment, she attacked like lightning, but with a snap, her right hand collided with the opponent's left hand.
The rattan chair slid to the side a foot, and she took a step back, but Gu Jiu was still lying on the rattan chair and had not woken up.
Wu Mei immediately became interested and attacked again. For a moment, her arms were as fast as lightning, as if she had eight arms.
Finally, the rattan chair crashed into the side of the ship with Gu Jiu, and the empress stood there, but her left eye turned into a panda eye.
Gu Jiu shook his head and woke up from his daze. When he found himself lying on the side of the boat, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Why do I move around when I sleep?
Then he turned his head and almost jumped up in fright.
“Who are you?!!!”
The Empress looked at Gu Jiu fiercely with a pair of panda eyes and said, "You are still pretending!!!"
When Gu Jiu discovered that the other person was Wu Mei, he was bewildered and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with your eyes? Why did you suddenly want to put on smoky makeup?"
Without saying a word, Wu Mei walked over, grabbed the rattan chair, and lay down comfortably. She said lightly: "I will drive the boat during the day, and you will keep watch at night."
Gu Jiu looked at the empress's curvy figure lying there and said, "I'm on guard all night, aren't you afraid that I might steal from you?"
The empress narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You can try."
Gu Jiu pulled out another rattan chair from his sword bracelet, lay down, and said, "Forget it. Not to mention your age, just look at your smoky makeup. My appreciation level is really limited."
The empress lay there, pressing her chest as if she was pressing the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt.
This was the first time in all these years that she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Chapter 13 Passive Flight
At night, the lunar world is not peaceful.
The Topaz Starship emitted a faint yellow halo, which was very obvious in the thick night.
A giant centipede crawled out of the mud, turned its body, and approached the Topaz Starship.
Just as it was about to climb onto the big ship, it heard a crack, and only half of its body, which was as thick as a pillar, was left, and juice splashed everywhere.
A crack appeared on the surface of the Topaz Starship, which looked like a ferocious mouth, chewing half of the centipede's body.
The remaining half of the centipede's body rolled on the ground, looking extremely painful. Finally, it returned to the mud in disgrace, and no one knew whether it was dead or alive.
After an incense stick of time, half of the centipede's body was swallowed up by the topaz star ship. The topaz near the hole turned purple, and then as a burst of purple mist was expelled from it, the color of the topaz gradually returned to normal.
This scene is a bit like a poisoned person being detoxified.
One night passed quickly.
Gu Jiu and Wu Mei were lying side by side on the rattan chair, both sleeping soundly.
It was not until noon that Wu Mei slowly woke up.
She looked at the sky, immediately jumped up from the rattan chair, and asked in confusion: "How long have I slept?"
She hadn't slept for such a long time in a long time, and she felt lazy all over.
You have to know that normally she only sleeps for two hours a day at most, but this time she slept much longer.
She turned her head to look at Gu Jiu and found that he was still snoring and even licking his lips and mumbling some incomprehensible words in his sleep, such as clothes and Domas.
Well, before she didn’t really believe that someone would starve to death because they were too lazy and left steamed buns in the house but didn’t want to get up, but now she believes it.
The empress, who has lived for so many years, unexpectedly gained a lot of knowledge from Gu Jiu.
She didn't rush to wake up Gu Jiu. After all, the dark circles under her eyes had just disappeared not long ago, and she didn't want it to happen again.
So the empress could only sigh and continue sailing forward.
While sailing, she lamented that she was really old and had slept for so long.
Gu Jiu's rattan chair seemed to have some magical power, making her sleep very soundly.
So, while the boat was sailing forward, she was still lying on the rattan chair, looking like she was just waiting to die.
The Topaz Star Boat was traveling at a fairly fast speed, and by night, it had already left the lunar territory and entered the real Yin world.
The night here is not as dark as that in the Taiyin Realm, it seems to be filled with a layer of black fog.
Gu Jiu slept for a day and a night, and woke up with a stretch.
He looked at everything around him and realized that he had never been to this place before.
Judging from the night sky, he should have arrived in the underworld, but he had no impression of the pebbles all over the ground.
So he asked the Empress about her sailing route and found that she was not wrong, but where was this place?
Facing Gu Jiu's doubts, the empress frowned and said, "Could this be on the other side of this mountain range?"
Gu Jiu looked at the rocks on the ground that looked like giant eyeballs and said, "No, they don't look small. There's no reason why I didn't notice them at the time."
I saw these pebbles connected together, with no end in sight, looking like an ocean in the night.
So the two decided to rest for a night before making any decision. When dawn came, Gu Jiu could overlook the terrain from high above.
