C1 An Old Friend Party
"The Roc rises with the wind every day, soaring for ninety thousand miles. When the wind stops, it can still shake the vast ocean. "
On the East Sea, the sea water was bumpy, the waves were surging, and the great river went east, laughing at the heroes of the past and present.
Ye Changsheng, who was sitting on the railing of the large ship, looked at the endless East Sea and suddenly chanted Li Yong's song to express his current mood.
Before this, he received a phone call from his parents, which roughly meant that they wanted him to pay attention to his safety while traveling on the sea. Ye Changsheng naturally agreed and expressed that there wouldn't be any problems.
In addition, his parents subtly suggested that he give up looking for ancient myths and everything related to it. They wanted him to go home for a blind date and find a good job to live on.
Regarding this request, he only vaguely covered it up, and did not give a definite answer.
There was a fish in the Northern Ocean, its name was Kun. The size of a Kun. It was unknown how many thousands of kilometers it was.
It turned into a bird. Its name was Peng. The back of Peng. He didn't know if it was thousands of miles long;
This was what Zhuang Zhou had recorded. Some people said that he had once seen a real Kunpeng. When it was born, it covered the sky and covered the sun. Its wings covered three thousand miles, and it fell from the sky. His heart was shaken, and he used a large amount of power to write it down.
There were also people who said that he had dreamt of a Kun Peng, and that he had traveled for a hundred thousand years while riding on a giant beast. It was written with emotion, but in reality, it was not that exaggerated. It was just a type of divine beast that was purely created with his brain, and there was a great controversy.
However, the ancient people had passed away, and many things could not be traced back to the source. It was also unknown whether there really was a giant beast like the Kun Peng in this world.
On the large ship, the sea breeze blew over, giving it a sense of comfort. Looking at the sea, it was calm and tranquil, like a flat mirror.
"Changsheng, what are you looking at?"
A voice was heard. Ye Changsheng didn't even turn his head. He was still looking at the mirror-like ocean. He knew that Yang Wenn had come.
Yang Wenn had not seen him for a long time. Since the last time they had parted, they had been sworn brothers in university.
"I didn't see anything. I was just lamenting the wonders of nature. It created such a vast and boundless ocean, created mountains and rivers, and created a world suitable for humans to live in. "
Nature had changed the world for tens of thousands of years. After so many years, it changed the various terrains of the world, gathered, dispersed, and gathered. What kind of great power was this?
"The power of nature is unpredictable. I once read an ancient book, and the topography drawn on it is actually similar to the current Asian God. The Eastern Sea is actually marked as the Northern Ocean, what a joke. " Yang Wenn recalled an ancient painting that he had once seen and was filled with emotions.
"It seems like it was just a prank. However, I have once appraised that ancient book. It is indeed an ancient item, and it has existed for a very long time. " Yang Wenn said with a laugh.
That was bought by a slovenly old Daoist who set up a stall on the ground. Many years ago. . . He had dabbled in antiques and could tell that it was an ancient item. Therefore, he bought it from the old man for a few thousand yuan.
He did not expect to see such a ridiculous scene after flipping it open. Such an ancient item was priceless. It actually drew a modern map and marked the East Sea as the North Sea. It was extremely ridiculous. It greatly lowered the value of the ancient scroll.
"Oh? This East Ocean is the Northern Ocean?" Ye Changsheng seemed to have only heard a part of it as he muttered in a low voice.
This statement was too shocking. The East Sea had already been fully described in the geography. Until now, no one had ever mentioned that the East Sea was the Northern Ocean of the ancient era.
"Liar, how could the East Sea be the Northern Ocean?" Yang Wenn said with a smile.
The place where the North Sea was located had been recorded in many historical books. It was the location of the ancient North Sea. How could it be the East Sea?
It was just a prank by the rich. They drew a modern map on the priceless ancient blank leather scroll and then wrote the Northern Ocean on the Eastern Ocean.
"You can't say that. " Ye Changsheng retorted. "The world is vast and full of wonders. There are many mysteries and modern science that cannot be solved, and historical records may not necessarily be correct. What if this is a misunderstanding of their era? "
Many times, it may not be true. It might not be false, either. Many historical records are not recorded by the current generation. It is written by the descendants based on the historical records they have obtained, so they need to look at it with a reference attitude.
"Good, good, good. I won't argue with you. Whatever you say is what it is. You really are. In order to pursue these things, you actually gave up your studies and walked in those ancient lands. What a pity that Hua Qing was first!"
Yang Wenn heaved a long sigh. Ye Changsheng was obsessed with these things. He even gave up his bright future because of this. When he was in his prime, he chose to drop out of school and live in many ancient legends.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Most of the students are here. I haven't seen everyone have a good chat for so many years. " Yang Wenn patted Ye Changsheng's shoulder.
"Alright, you go first. I'll be right there. " Ye Changsheng was still looking at the sea, signaling Yang Wenn to go first.
After Yang Wenn left, he looked at Hai and let out a long sigh.
The wind became colder and colder. The sea breeze blew, and Ye Changsheng wrapped his clothes tightly around his body.
It was strange. The wind was already so strong, but why was there still no waves on the surface of the sea? This was very strange, but even though Ye Changsheng had doubts in his heart, he didn't think too much about it.
Just like what he had said before, nature was unpredictable.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Ye Changsheng saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces.
At the same time, there were acquaintances who saw Ye Changsheng.
It was a woman with pure red lips, an exquisite smile on her face, and a dignified bearing as she walked. At first glance, one could tell that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. She wore a yellow cap on her head, and her curvaceous figure revealed her youth. Every movement she made seemed elegant and natural.
She was elegant. She was Ye Changsheng's former college classmate. She was a very smart girl and had excellent grades. She had once expressed her love for Ye Changsheng, but was politely rejected by Ye Changsheng.
She walked towards Ye Changsheng, holding two glasses of red wine at the same time. She walked to Ye Changsheng's side and handed him a glass of red wine.
Ye Changsheng saw that it was Ya Qing and took the red wine safely. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly when he recalled the past.
"How have you been recently?"
Ye Changsheng and Ya Qing clinked their glasses and asked.
"It's alright. I don't have to worry about food or clothes. I exercise every day. " Qing Ya drank the red wine in one gulp and said with a smile, not showing any embarrassment because of the past.
She was also glad that Ye Changsheng had refused her back then. Otherwise, everything would have changed greatly. At least she had never heard that Ye Changsheng had found a job.
In other words, Ye Changsheng was still a jobless person. He spent all his time in the wilderness, deep in the mountains, and in secret places. He lived like a savage.
At this moment, another person walked over.
Ye Changsheng was also very familiar with this person. He was his former classmate, Dong Huaizhi.
He was once ranked second in the grade, and could also be considered a young talent. However, he had always been below Ye Changsheng, and he held a grudge against him. Now that he had graduated many years ago, with his family's relationship and his own methods, he had become the mayor of a county. It was said that he was going to be promoted soon, and could be considered a superior person.
In the past, he was very jealous of Ye Changsheng, because most of the time, people only cared about being first and not being second.
When Ye Changsheng was still around, he was just a foil.
But now, he didn't feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards Ye Changsheng. Instead, he had a feeling of being high and mighty.
Now that he was the governor of a county and held a high position, his future would be even more magnanimous. As for Ye Changsheng? No one on the streets could recognize him as the former number one Hua Qing.
Dong Huaizhi walked over with a faint smile and said, "Long time no see. "
"Yeah, long time no see. " Ye Changsheng and Qingya replied to Dong Huaizhi at the same time.
"Changsheng, I heard you haven't found a job yet? Why don't I recommend you to be a civil servant? This is a fat job. "
Ye Changsheng naturally disdained Dong Huaizhi's help. If he really wanted to, with his own abilities and brain, he would be able to reach a position even higher than Dong Huaizhi in a very short period of time.
However, that was not his goal. It was just that he was not in the mood.
"There's no need for that. I have my own path. " Ye Changsheng was cold. There was no emotion on his face.
"Heh, as expected of the first place in the grade. It's only natural that you have such a tone. " Dong Huaizhi continued to express enough mockery towards Ye Changsheng, and then said to Qing Ya:
"Qingya, there are old classmates over there who are urging you to hurry over. They are all anxious to wait and want to hear your heavenly music. "
"Ah, but. . . " Suddenly, Qingya hesitated. Previously, her conversation with Ye Changsheng had not ended. First, she was interrupted by Dong Huaizhi, and now, she was going to leave. Wasn't it not good?
"It's okay. You go first. I also want to hear your singing. " Ye Changsheng smiled kindly, indicating that Qing Ya did not need to worry about him.
"Then. . . Alright!" Seeing that Ye Changsheng did not say anything, Qing Ya could not refuse anymore. He followed Dong Huaizhi to the main stage and began singing the popular song with his sisters.
Ye Changsheng was not in the mood to appreciate it. He found a corner and stayed there. He drank red wine alone and no one came forward. He looked a little lonely.
At this moment, the surface of the sea was still calm, but it was getting weirder and weirder. The wind had exceeded the third level. It was heading toward the fourth level, but the surface of the sea was still calm.
The people in the cabin were singing and dancing. They were drunk and had no idea about the situation outside. Even Ye Changsheng didn't notice anything wrong. He just drank alone.
"Changsheng, I finally found you. Why are you hiding in the corner?"
Ye Changsheng raised his head and found that his good brother, Yang Wenn, had come. That was true. In such a situation, perhaps only Yang Wenn and Ye Changsheng had a close relationship like before.
He gestured for Yang Wenn to sit down, then took out a wine cup and filled it up for him.
"It's a long story, but this is also good. I'm happy to be free in the corner. " Ye Changsheng was very open-minded. He did not have a lot of negative emotions because of these things.
Since he had already made a choice back then, everything was just a last-ditch effort. He was not willing to be this one.
"I'm not talking about you, brother. You just threw away your great future like that. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Dong Huaizhi and the others who would be surrounded by stars and the moon right now. You're the only one!"
" It's fine, as long as I live happily. "
Ye Changsheng smiled faintly and drank the wine in his cup. Yang Wenn saw that Ye Changsheng did not care about it and could not help but feel discouraged. He drank the wine in his cup just like Ye Changsheng.
"Forget it, forget it. I will only drink today. Let's not talk about anything else. " Yang Wenn was also a carefree person. When he saw that Ye Changsheng didn't care about it, he didn't say much, and just drank with Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng drank as if he had returned to the time when he was in high spirits. He clinked glasses with Yang Wenn and laughed.
"How many dissolute men have we drunk in the past? Today, we are still unwilling to fall behind. Cheers to our future!"
