Chapter 712 Red Sea, Black Chicken Country
It took Li Changxiao more than five months to cross the Red Region, sometimes walking, sometimes riding in a carriage or a speedboat, and seeing strange people, strange trees, and strange things along the way.
When he arrived at the border of the Red Territory, he encountered another strange thing. He was riding in a merchant's carriage and passed by a piece of red soil. The red soil was soft and undulating. When the wind blew, it was like the sea surface, with rolling waves and layer upon layer, which looked very strange.
Out of curiosity, he wanted to step into the red soil, but was stopped by the coachman, who told him that there were trillions of "red maggots" hidden in the sand. If he touched even a little bit of it, most of his flesh would be eaten away.
Li Changxiao didn't believe it, but he didn't step into the sand in front of the coachman for fear of scaring him. He just followed the original path to the destination, got off the carriage, and then quietly turned back and stepped into the "red sea".
As soon as I stepped in, I saw countless red bugs crawling on my feet in the sand. Those red bugs were only as thick as a thumb, but they had sharp fangs that could bite through my clothes.
Li Changxiao pulled back, brushing off the red maggots on his clothes, and could smell a faint stench of decay. He turned back deliberately, just out of curiosity, and regarded this place as a natural wonder. He didn't really want to overturn the red sea, destroy the insect nest, burn the sea of insects, and make everything clear. He was not so overbearing, and besides, this world was not his. He didn't see this scene often, so he stayed by the red sea, took out the booklet he carried with him, and recorded this wonder.
He looked up at the sky, down at the earth, and recorded it in great detail. He was even more interested, and began to paint a picture of the Red Sea in a booklet. Li Changxiao felt it was a pity every time he picked up the paintbrush. He had been interested in finding some famous painters and learning some painting techniques.
But it seemed like more than a hundred years had passed, and he was always delayed by various things and could not calm down. Although with his current supernatural powers, he could present everything he saw on paper without any error. However, in his opinion, there was a fundamental difference between painting with the skills of a painter and drawing every stroke.
After a closer look, he saw a golden tree standing in the middle of the Red Sea. The tree was not very tall, and because the Red Sea covered a vast area, the golden tree standing in the middle was very difficult to see with the naked eye. Even Li Changxiao, after a quick glance, did not notice this place, thinking it was just a grain of golden sand. After further observation, he realized that it was actually a tree.
He drew and drew, and wrote down the golden tree in the booklet. After recording all the wonders in the booklet, Li Changxiao couldn't help but think of the trouble book in Wanshi Villa.
He smiled leisurely. He didn't care at first, but now thinking back, when he traveled around the world, he wanted to record everything he encountered in a book. It was the same desire as when Mr. Wanshi Wei Jing stayed at the villa and registered all the rare treasures in the garden.
Just record it in the book, don't worry about it. Li Changxiao flipped through the previous book and saw that over the past few hundred years, hundreds of strange things had been recorded in bits and pieces.
In addition to famous mountains and rivers, there are also quarrels between street women, neighborhood gossip, and many interesting coincidences. At the end of some records, Li Changxiao would add personal annotations and opinions with a brush.
For example: More than a hundred years ago, in Qingfeng Prefecture in Dingyu, there was a mountain with a great reputation. Li Changxiao heard about it by chance. At that time, he thought, traveling in the secular world, if I heard about such a sacred mountain by chance, wouldn’t it be a pity if I didn’t set out to see it immediately? I would miss the natural scenery in vain. So he came from afar, just hoping to take a look at the beautiful scenery in the mountain.
As a result, when we arrived at the place, we found that the so-called famous mountain was only a hundred feet high. The scenery was even more ordinary. Although the mountains were clear and the water was beautiful, it was superficial. It was all artificial and intentionally fabricated. There was no natural charm at all. It could not withstand careful scrutiny and feeling. It was not worthy of the word "famous mountain". Li Changxiao was so angry that he felt cheated. He drank a few big mouthfuls of wine and comforted himself. So he explored the reason and found that at the foot of the famous mountain, there was a rich family who created a mountain and water summer resort.
The so-called famous mountain was just a rumor spread by the rich family to attract tourists. Therefore, Li Changxiao recorded this incident in a booklet, and the comment at the end was: the scenery is average, the summer resort, the people are treacherous, they were deceived, they felt unfair, and both the host and the guest punched each other and ran away after the fight.
Li Changxiao picked up his pen and was about to make some comments. Although he had no intention of exploring the origin of this place, he could vaguely guess something.
He commented with a pen: "In the 'Earth Turtle' in the Endless Forest, there are also these red maggots. The Earth Turtle is involved in the ancient secrets. Under the 'Red Sea', there may be something similar to the 'Earth Turtle' buried? That's why the red maggots are flooding the sea?"
Li Changxiao commented: "The Endless Forest Tortoise cost the human race countless efforts. Before this, the human race must have made countless attempts."
Li Changxiao put away the booklet, took a deep glance at the Red Sea, stretched himself, gathered all his thoughts, and continued on his way. The trip to the Red Territory enriched his experience a lot.
After leaving the Red Region, we arrived at the Green Region. The Green Region was originally a place where alien races temporarily lived, and the human race was originally small. But in the previous battle, all the alien races were wiped out, leaving only poisonous miasma all over the ground.
The human race is physically weak, and their resistance to poison is barely detectable, so it is still difficult for them to survive here for long. Therefore, after the Red Domain disease spread, most humans migrated to the Ding Domain, and very few moved to the Green Domain.
Since Li Changxiao entered the Green Region, he has rarely seen people. Occasionally, they would meet and exchange a few words, but nothing happened. The green plants in this region are towering and much more lush than other places. In terms of scenery alone, it can be regarded as the best among the best.
Li Changxiao walked along the same path as Mei Sanniang. Although he had never heard of her purpose, her experience, and her story, he gradually understood it during this journey.
He still wanted to go north.
Go find her...
Along the way, Mei Sanniang left many traces, and in many places, she even left traces intentionally, as if to let people know that she had been there. When passing by a certain Wuji country, she had a fight and slapped the king three times, which made the king so angry that he is still looking for that woman. It was also strictly prohibited that women in Wuji country were not allowed to open inns and be the shopkeepers themselves.
