C1895 The Logbook of Six Hundred Years Ago(2)

On the sixth day of December in the fifth year of Xuan De, the treasured vessel sailed from Longjiang Pass. Flags blotted out the sky for several days, the ship was connected to the vast soup. This is the first time I have set out to sea, and also the first time I have seen such a grand scene. I never thought that I would have the chance to step out of this world and walk towards the endless ocean in my lifetime.

Hai Yang, to us Chinese, what is she? This world was vast and endless; it was unknown. There was even a time when I thought that in the entire world, there was only China's vast land. Other than that, there was only the ocean.

I still clearly remember the smile in his old eyes when I boarded the treasured vessel and told him about my idea when I saw him. It seemed to tell me that this world is much bigger than you can imagine, my child.

According to their calculations, the number of people who were going to sea this time was more than 27,500. It could be said to be the largest ever. Moreover, I also saw some people in the crowd that I found very strange. They were completely different from the ordinary soldiers, but they didn't interact much with us. Furthermore, Zheng was very respectful towards them as if he called them immortal masters.

Although I heard some of the crew say that Zheng was in high spirits this time, almost as much as he was on his first voyage. I don't know why, but when I met him, he seemed to be in high spirits, but when he gave me the task of keeping the log, he showed an attitude as if this was the last time he was going to sea.

Although I know Master Zheng is already very old, I still hope that he can continue to live and lead me on another voyage! May God bless this old man so that he can live for a hundred years!

But anyway, the ship was out at last, and looking at the waves, I was more and more curious to know what kind of land existed on the other side of the ocean, and what surprises me there.

The words in the log were all in little letters, covering a whole page. Furthermore, this wasn't a modern type of log with very strong specifications, but more like a travel diary written by this young man who was going out to sea for the first time. Moreover, from these words, it was not difficult to see the surging passion and blood in this young man's heart, as well as his doubts about many things.

Staring at the contents of the page, Lin Bai fell silent. Although the contents on the first page were extremely general, he was still told to find something wrong. According to the diary, it seemed that not only the seafarers were out at sea, but also a group of people called by Zheng He as' immortal masters'. According to Zheng He's real mission, they might be the masters who inherited the legacy of the 6th generation ancestor.

According to the log, Zheng He already had a premonition that this trip to the Western Ocean would be the last in his life. Could it be that Zheng He wasn't an ordinary person but a member of a special family that could foresee his death?!

When he thought of this, Lin Bai immediately shook his head. No matter who it was, they wouldn't be in high spirits when they predicted their own deaths. Zheng He, on the other hand, had such enthusiasm. This meant that his work was about to be completed! Of course, the task was to set up the Dragon Chief of the Eight Lock Doors. That is to say, the seventh time at sea was the key to set up the Eight Lock Dragon Chief!

However, what kind of unspeakable weirdness happened afterwards that caused this clerk and these huge treasured ships to turn into such a ghastly appearance?!

Thinking to this point, the puzzlement in Lin Bai's heart grew deeper and deeper. He then flipped through the content of the book, trying to find the answer.

Xuan De, the tenth day of the Spring Moon in six years, Qingqing, Empty Waves! To be more accurate, the current me doesn't know whether this date is right or wrong, because after coming to the ocean, I discovered that the sun rising and the moon setting on the sea is different from the one on China.

This discovery gave me an inexplicable sense of horror. In fact, I felt that in these few short days, I had already rewritten what I had learned from books in the past few years. But when I told the seamen about this astonishing discovery, instead of getting approval, I was mocked by the drunken crew, who told me, "Boy, you've got a lot to learn."

The crew had never been very nice to me. Maybe it was because they found out that I was seasick when I got on board, and if there was a storm, I'd just squat in my room and throw up on the toilet.

The sea was a mysterious existence. It was also an existence that people yearned for. More and more, I feel that my decision to choose to go out to sea with Lord Zheng despite the disdain of my classmates was an incomparably wise decision.

Xuan De 6 February 14, Fog, Wave! The good news was that I was no longer seasick, and now I could sit and drink with the crew. And I also discovered that these crew members were very warm-hearted though they were rugged and carefree. Also, they told me a lot of things that happened when they followed Lord Zheng to sea. I never thought that there would be so many countries in the ocean and so many people that were completely different from China.

Those of my classmates who sit in front of their desks and read books all day long while shaking their heads and writing eight pieces of essay, will never be able to know that in the world outside the ocean, there will still be so many glorious things that Lu Li can do. They will never be able to know that this world is much broader than what they know and that there are so many things that they cannot understand.

Besides, I have another discovery. Drinking too much alcohol can cause a headache. I won't write anymore. Whoever wakes up first has to clean the toilet!

Xuande 6 March 1st, clear, there is wind! We have been to Xuanzang Zen Master once, that is known by the Tang as Tian Zhu, Zheng as India! After we docked, we met many enthusiastic people. Those people looked completely different from the Chinese. From the mouths of the crew members, they called them barbarians.

I also found something interesting. Among the barbarians, the ones with status and status seemed to be riding elephants decorated with precious stones and spices. Moreover, all of them were very respectful to Lord Zheng. Not only Lord Zheng, even those that Lord Zheng called immortal masters were highly respected by the barbarian leaders.

However, I was also surprised to find that among those who came to greet the master were some immortal masters who had lived in this place for a long time. Furthermore, when they saw Lord Zheng and the immortal masters, they were extremely excited.

I tried riding an elephant once, but to my surprise, the creature was very obedient and had a smooth back.

Xuan De, March 15, 6. Rain, no waves. There were no waves because I was still in India, still standing on the ground.

Lord Zheng and the immortal masters have also disappeared. I asked the crew members about it and they said that the same thing happened several times when they were out at sea. Every time they came to a place, the immortal masters and Zheng would disappear without a trace.

Maybe Zheng had a secret mission on him, I can't even guess!

In addition, although India was a barbarian, the place was rich in spices and precious stones. Gems that are incomparably precious in China are as cheap as porcelain here. We traded porcelain for many spices and gems. According to the experienced crew members, this exchange of spices and gems is enough to make up for the cost of the ship.

Xuande 6 May 17, sunny. I'm still in India, and I haven't left yet. Lord Zheng came back twice on his elephant, and each time he left, he took a large group of his crew with him. Master Zheng seemed to be in a hurry. He hurried back and forth every time, but when he returned, the immortal masters didn't follow him. They seemed to have other things to do.

Xuan De December 8th, 2006. We've been here nine months! It was the eighth day of Laba, but there was no snow here. The barbarians didn't seem to know what snow was. We had made the Eight Treasures Porridge, but Lord Zheng still hadn't returned.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Xuande, it was dark. Half a year later, we were still in India. Zheng had only come back once, but it could be seen that he was in a good mood. He even sat down and drank with us once. It was as if the thing he was about to do had made great progress and was about to succeed.

I asked Lord Zheng what was the matter with the wine. For the first time in my life, Lord Zheng said it was a matter of great benefit!

The heavens have blessed the bright future, and it had been so long! But I want us to leave as soon as possible. I'm tired of staying in this place.

On the eighth day of December, seven years ago. It was the same weather and the same festival, yet Lord Zheng still hadn't returned. In the Barbarians, life was not easy. With nothing to do, I began to teach the Barbarians poetry and music, but they were not to be taught. They don't know anything about benevolence and righteousness. They just want to get something from me.

Xuan De 8 March 15, Qing! Master Zheng came back and stayed in the camp for two days. He told us that the time of departure was approaching, and that we would be heading deeper into the ocean to learn more about it.

[God bless us! The day has finally come! We can finally leave this damn place!]

The fourth day of April, eight years, Xuan De!" Master Zheng was dead! Yes, it was Master Zheng who died! This was the news that the fleet and Lord Zheng's envoy, Lord Wang Jinghong, had brought back, along with the sailors who had left during the past year.

I don't believe that Lord Zheng is dead, but he is! God, why did you let him die?!

Zheng He died?! Seeing this, Lin Bai's heart couldn't help but tremble. According to the historical records, if Zheng He died, then it would be the time for the fleet to return! However, if they were to return, why would the boat appear here?!
