C1897 Diary from Six Hundred Years Ago(4)

Xuan He, 18 June, Qing! We finally entered the depths of this continent. This place is completely different from what we experienced in Hua Xia, the forest here is dense, even I do not dare to imagine it, using the wood here, we can definitely build a huge fleet that is a hundred times larger than our treasured vessel.

Their understanding of this place was only limited to the era of blade farming.

But the dense jungle also brought us unbearable pain. In these humid and hot climates, there are many poisonous snakes, wild animals, and epidemics in the dense jungle. We entered the forest with five thousand people, but there are only four thousand and five hundred left. That is to say, in this short span of two months, we have lost five hundred people!

Damned jungle, when will we be able to reach the end of the forest and find the place that the immortal masters were talking about?!

Xuan He, July 17th, Qing! Another month has passed, but luckily, we have no more personnel to wear out. And all of this is thanks to those immortal masters as well as Immortal Liu. They showed me many spells that I could not imagine.

Before that Immortal Liu, the enormous python and the roaring fierce beast were like paper in front of him. With a slight movement, he was able to completely defeat them, and even tame them. Even in this humid and hot climate, as long as Immortal Liu gives us a talisman, we will be able to recover.

Zi Yu was confused, but everything I've seen was not a god, so what could it be?

Other than that, perhaps Immortal Liu was the true Immortal Liu. However, he had already experienced four dynasties, and Immortal Liu had died a long time ago. I even started to wonder if Immortal Liu was like Lord Zheng and that their death was just a smokescreen for commoners like us. Even the high and mighty Lord Emperor seemed to be just a mortal like us.

Xuan He, December 8th, Rain! I have not felt cold in a long time. Even the changes of the four seasons seem to me to be very far away.

I was beginning to miss my classmates, who were probably sipping their porridge and sitting under the bayberry trees, watching the snow and singing and having fun. But I was lucky compared to them because I had seen too much that they had not seen, too much that they could not understand.

Xuanhua and the second day of the tenth month, Qingqing! The day of the Dragon Raising Its Head has arrived. The immortal masters have told me that we have finally reached that place!

I take back what I said before. The people on this land can't be called barbarians. They seem to have had a splendid civilization, too, and where they lived I saw many great ruins that were not inferior to the Great Wall. But I do not understand why such a great civilization has not been inherited by the people who live on this land.

Other than that, Lord Zheng and the immortal masters left us under Immortal Liu's lead. They seemed to be confirming something.

Xuanhua and March 4th, Qingqing! Immortal Liu returned, as did Lord Zheng. They brought back good news and a piece of bad news.

The good news was that they had finally found the place they were looking for after such a long journey. The bad news is that we're likely to be here for another half a year or more before we can return.

When can I go back? I want to go back to China, back to the bright days of spring, summer, autumn and winter!

In addition, some of the sailors could no longer hold back and started to get along with some of the barbarian girls. Although some of the barbarian girls also showed good feelings towards me, I was unable to accept it.

In addition, chili, sweet potatoes and corn taste good, but without rice and wheat easy to swallow.

Xuanhe Ten Year May 6th, Rain. We came to the places that the immortal masters mentioned, but we didn't expect so many terrifying ant dens to exist here. Those seemingly insignificant ants seem to be even more terrifying than a huge army, yet everywhere they go, plants and trees don't even exist. Under their assault, we only have three thousand of our four thousand five hundred men left.

This was a failed journey, and the reason for all that was happening was very simple. It was because there was a person who did not listen to Immortal Liu's arrangements and acted rashly. Because of him alone, 1,500 people had died ….

It was precisely because of Immortal Liu's strength that we did not cause any greater losses. This was a very fortunate thing.

In addition, Immortal Liu seemed to have changed his mind. It was as if he wanted to reform the remnants of the barbarian civilization and use those things to accomplish something that would benefit him for generations. I don't understand. If such a thing really exists in this world, then how can there be so many changes in China's dynasties? And why would so many people die tragically in the war?

I told Immortal Liu my question and he answered it for me. There is no such thing as an unchanging dynasty, nor is there any such thing as an unchanging rise or fall, but a generation has to do what a generation should do, because there are some things that if you don't do them, you will make the world worse.

Furthermore, to my surprise, I fully agree with Immortal Liu's words that seemed to be very outrageous. Saints, these thoughts are something students shouldn't have. But I don't understand, since there is the teachings of a saint, why would there be a rise and fall?

Xuan He, December 8th, Qing. It's the eighth of the year, and I've already had six days at sea!

The project is finally coming to an end. According to Immortal Liu, we should be able to return to the ship in about half a month. Long time no see, long no see, I'm coming back!

Furthermore, Immortal Liu has already told us everything. We finally know what we are doing. It turns out that it wasn't just us, that had already completed this task six times in the Western Ocean.

This time, we will be the last time this formation is completed. Immortal Liu said that this matter would benefit Hua Xia for a thousand years. I believe that everything Immortal Liu said will be completed, and we will return to the Ming Dynasty!

Xuan and 11th January, 15th. Clear, there's a wave!

Everything is finally done. We are finally going back to the Ming Dynasty. We are finally going back to the Ming Dynasty. According to the sea map, as long as no more than a year has passed, we will return to Daming. Perhaps my family, and my friends, now think I am buried in the boundless sea!

But a year from now, I will show them what I have experienced, and all the great things I have witnessed!

Xuan and the third day of March of the eleventh year. Yin, no wind, no waves.

We're in trouble! For some reason, after a huge storm, we entered a pitch-black sea. There was no light, no people, no life, only endless darkness.

I asked Immortal Liu why he was doing this. He told me that maybe everything was just a matter of days. It was because we did something that some people didn't want us to do that we suffered such a calamity.

I don't know what a day is, but I just want to get out of here, and I want to go back to Daming!

Also, after that storm, many of our immortal masters have disappeared, and many of our immortal masters had suffered unfathomably serious injuries. Even Immortal Liu had become very weak, and when he spoke to me, I felt that he was an old man at the end of his days.

Xuan and the fifth day of the third month of the eleventh month!

We had entered an ominous place, and our crew was dead and wounded, with only five hundred men left. We buried those who died in the sea, and we buried them in the sea.

Additionally, Immortal Liu and Lord Zheng went to the coastal lands. Immortal Liu said that he wanted to obtain a sliver of destiny for us, that he wanted to find a way for us to survive!

Xuan and the eighth of March of the eleventh year!

I can't wait for Immortal Liu and Lord Zheng to return!

I can't write anymore. They're back, they're all back!

I'm going to die!

At this point, the log book had come to an end, and the words on the last page were already illegible. That blurry figure was just like a human being enduring a huge amount of fear and trepidation while scribbling. Even if Lin Bai tried his best to read, he could only get a general idea of the situation!

After slowly closing the notebook, Lin Bai felt his heart pounding. He truly did not expect that in the past few years, there would actually be such a grand and majestic past. Those seniors actually truly arrived on this continent.

What was even more unexpected was that the 6th generation Patriarch and Zheng He were both here. But where did they go now, and why did they leave the ship? Had the Sixth Patriarch found a way for them to survive, or had something happened?

And what's the last thing in the diary that says they're back, they're all back?

Thump! Thump! Thump! But at this moment, Lin Bai suddenly felt a violent vibration beneath his feet, as if something was striking the bottom of the boat, causing it to start shaking!
