    Goo Ao, Goo Ao¡ª¡ª

    The morning sun was very bright, making the sea surface sparkle. In the vast blue sea and sky, a group of white and gray seagulls flapped their wings and soared to their heart's content.

    A medium-sized three-masted sailboat with a load of nearly 500 stones sailed slowly on the sea, setting off waves and flowers. The hull was engraved with the wheat totem representing the Qijia of Dongrao, and the sail flag fluttering in the wind read three large golden characters "  "Golden Valley".

    Phew, the sea breeze is so comfortable!  Xin Lie stood on the bow of the ship, feeling the sea breeze. The Golden Valley had been sailing at sea for more than half a month, and it would arrive at Giant Rock City in less than a week!  What kind of world is waiting for him?

    ¡°Hahaha!  There is a large scar on his face, and his medium-long black hair is tied into a ponytail.  According to Xin Lie's observation, Captain Balu likes his ponytail very much and likes others to praise him for being handsome. He saw Xin Lie wearing a blue forehead band before and it looked quite handsome, so he thought about wearing one too.

    "What are you doing standing here?" Captain Balu had a hearty smile on his face. He came over and patted Xin Lie on the shoulder. He didn't care about the strength at all. Fortunately, Xin Lie was strong. If it had been someone else, or just  He was shaken to the point of being photographed.

    Because he was wary of his money being robbed, under the arrangement of General Manager Jino, Xin Lie was a poor farmer who went to the giant rock to make a living. He also took over as a handyman on the ship to reduce the shipping fee.  During these days, Xin Lie was very diligent and smart. He knew everything at a glance. In addition, he had read books and knew some words. Captain Balu really admired this young man.

    ¡ª¡ª

    "These birds are really singing!" Balu glanced at the seagulls in the sky and said with some dissatisfaction: "Wake me up early in the morning, grandma, I almost kissed you! Oh, by the way, what are you doing?"

    ??

    "Think of a bird! Won't you be able to see it in a few days?" Balu laughed again. After all, he thought about it and tried to describe it: "The giant rock is not bad, um  The scenery is beautiful, the roads are wide, the buildings are very tall, the market is very lively, uh, very big Not only is the city big, but the place for women is also big." He put his hands on his chest with an ambiguous look on his face.

    Xin Lie smiled and nodded, saying, "I also like the big ones."

    "The big one is good, the big one is good!" Balu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, this kid just had a bad temper towards him!  The captain smiled and said: "But boy, it's not interesting for you to work in the city. You might as well stay on the ship and run around with me. How happy it would be! What place is better than the sea? This route is very safe!"

    "Captain, thank you for your kindness, but no, I want to make my own way." Xin Lie sincerely refused. Balu calmed down and looked at him for a few times, then asked what he had been thinking: "Are you going to take the warrior assessment?"

    Xin Lie remained silent. He did not want to deceive the straightforward and easy-going captain, but he did not forget to agree to Jino's words.

    "I know." Balu patted him on the shoulder without hesitation, and said seriously: "If you don't pass the exam, you won't be able to get out! If you come to this ship, your future will be bright. You are a lovable guy.  .¡±

    "Thank you!" Xin Lie nodded heavily and suddenly thought, Mom and Dad were also like this, right?  Facing the sea breeze, heading to an unknown place.  He couldn't help but ask: "Captain, I've always wanted to ask you, have you ever been to Aizhou?"

    Balu has long been accustomed to his eagerness to learn and ask questions, such as how to read a sailing compass, why a sailboat can sail against the wind, what is scurvy, why eating fruits and vegetables is good, and so on It's like he wants to be a captain!  But Balu likes to teach others, so he will teach patiently every time. After hearing the question, he shook his head and replied: "I have never been there. The sea there is very fierce. I am not a bird warrior. This boat is small.  I don¡¯t dare to go!¡±

    "Can't the Jingu work?" Xin Lie looked around. The canvas was bulging in the wind, and the deck was as stable as the ground. In the storm a few days ago, the hull was only shaking a little.

    "Of course not!" Balu rejected his beloved ship in one breath. He tugged on the mast rope on the bow of the ship, his thick eyebrows furrowed, "The Golden Valley is a three-masted sailboat. It wants to sail through the sea of ??Aizhou.  Don't even think about it without a six-masted ship! Otherwise, a huge wave will come over and everyone will feed the fish. It would be better to be a bird steamer. And ah! There are too many pirates and pirates. Several of my brothers died there and escaped back.  I mean, those thieves will catch a handful of warriors!"

    Although the Jingu is engraved with the totem of the Qi family, in fact it is just that the ship was manufactured by the Qi family and can be considered as hanging under their door. Of course, a large amount of "insurance premium" must be paid to the Qi family every year.??, compared with that kind of big ship with sail flags and totems and warriors on board, it's too far behind

    Thinking of the negative feelings he had received in the past, Balu was a little uninterested. Warrior was indeed a better way out, but it was a pity that he failed to pass the assessment that year.  Looking at the young Xin Lie, Balu said: "If you want to become a warrior, you can join in the fun with others. There are many treasures there." He said mysteriously: "I also have a parchment treasure map.  My brother spent a lot of effort to find it a few years ago, and even warriors are envious of it!"

    Seeing Xin Lie's eyes slightly glaring, the captain looked even more proud and said: "I heard there is some ruins or something, I am most interested in how many treasures there are, but that guy doesn't dare to go to Aizhou anymore, naturally  I didn¡¯t need it anymore, so I bought it and kept it.¡±

    Seeing Xin Lie's fascinated look, Balu suddenly laughed, as if the trick was successful: "I just spent one gold, what kind of treasure does the ghost letter have? I just saw that it was exquisitely crafted and would look good hanging in the captain's cabin, hahahaha!"  "

    "Hmm" Xin Lie smiled and nodded. Maybe there is, maybe there is not. No one knows without looking for it.  But in the future, if I want to sail freely in Aizhou, it seems that I need to buy a big boat myself, which means a lot of money.

    Groups of seagulls were flying low in the sky, the sky was blue, and the sea was no longer loose at one end. Small and large boats made the waves ripple across each other. After twenty-one days of sailing, the Golden Valley finally sailed into the port of Giant Rock City!

    "Get ready to dock, get ready to dock!" The deck was busy. Captain Balu was walking around, giving directions with his big hands. The sailors all started to furl the sails and let the ship move forward slowly on the channel.

    From a distance, you can see a huge rock statue towering into the clouds standing on the shore. A man in armor is holding a long sword in his hand. The unsheathed long sword is standing on the ground. He is holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and his eyes are closed, as if silently.  I don¡¯t know who is guarding this metropolis, so majestic and so intimidating.

    Looking at the giant eagle and the blurry city in front of him, Xin Lie was completely entranced. Under his calm face, there was a heart that was about to jump out of his chest, blood boiling all over his body, and fists that were clenched unconsciously.  , is thata giant rock?

    The vast Big Rock Port has countless berths for ships, which are divided into ship areas, sailing areas, etc. Large ships and small boats enter, park and leave. Although it seems crowded, it is well organized.  Xin Lie saw many different totems representing different families, saw a six-masted sailboat, and saw a steamship larger than the Sea King, and its chimney was longer than the Jingu!

    There was also a jib-type crane that lifted boxes of goods on the deck and then unloaded them to the dock. Xin Lie had never seen that thing before. It looked a bit like oranges used for irrigating farmland, but it was not. He felt a click in his heart.  Does it still require hard work to have that thing?  Stayed for a while.

    There is a lively market next to the port, with people coming and going and shouting loudly. There are stalls and small shops everywhere. In addition to selling fruits, drinks, etc., the most popular ones are transportation. I guess it is for the guests who come from afar.  Be prepared, there are not only common animals such as donkeys, cows, and horses, but also some exotic beasts that Xin Lie cannot name, such as a gray-skinned beast with two long horns above its nose; there are also exotic animals gathered from trade from all over the world.  Rare treasures, and all these shops have totems hanging on them.

    Of course, Xin Lie also came across something he liked, but he spent two copper coins for one copper coin, so he didn't buy anything.

    After walking through a large section of forest road that slopes upward, you can see the true miniature of the Rock City.

    Puff puff puff puff - no wonder the seagulls flew so low. A group of unknown brown-red birds leaped from the forest and flew high in the clouds. They were all large and had long wings, almost covering the sun

    ¡°They are called ¡®Swift Birds¡¯ and red-bellied sea eagles.¡±

    Having finished the work of delivering the goods, the next step is the dock warehouse. Captain Balu and others are also free and walk towards Giant Rock City with Xin Lie.  Seeing his curiosity, Balu took the initiative to introduce: "Although they are just birds, in fact, their attack power is just as strong as that of tigers, and they are still social animals. Fortunately, the sea eagle is not aggressive, but it is not easy to ride it.  , he has a fierce temper."

    Xin Lie was surprised when he heard this: "Can it be tamed? It's so big, can't people fly in the sky?"

    "Yes! But warriors don't have many flying birds, let alone us! Let's ride something else." Balu laughed, and the sailors also laughed. The captain waved his hand and took the lead: "Let's go.  Let's take a walk and take you to see the best places in this city!" Thinking of something, his smile became brighter, "Do you know what Juyan is? All kinds of beauties! Black-haired, blond-haired,  Red-haired ones, brown-haired ones I¡¯m sure you haven¡¯t seen them before.¡±

    Xin Lie laughed again. They were all typical sailors. The three of them wereHe couldn't talk about women, and even though after a long flight, he also wanted to see what women with blonde, red, and brown hair looked like, he never forgot why he came to the Rock.

    The slightly restless heart quickly cooled down. The best place in the giant rock should be the Warrior Academy. Xin Lie said: "Captain, I want to visit the city first."

    "Haha, I know you are shy!" Balu burst into laughter, and the sailors laughed and said: "Brother, there is nothing to be shy about!", "You are still a virgin, are you?", "Haha, I  There is an old sweetheart with good skills, let her help you break it!", "You can also like the baby bird, everyone will chip in and give it to you!"

    "No, no! It really can't be done" Xin Lie waved his hands repeatedly. The more excited they were, the calmer his heart became.

    "Okay, I'll go shopping with you today. There's always a time when a country bumpkin enters the city!" Seeing that he was serious, Balu didn't force it. He knew that Xin Lie had ambitions, and said to his siblings: "You go and have a good time.  !¡±

    When we arrived at the city gate, we queued for a long time, and after successfully passing the inspection by the guards, everyone went their separate ways. The sailors went to drink and find women, while Captain Balu took Xin Lie to the busiest market in the city, Nanshi.

    Compared to the port shore, the city of Giant Rock was a hundred times more lively. Only then did Xin Lie understand what a prosperous metropolis meant, with towers hundreds of meters high, stone roads dozens of meters wide, bustling with traffic and tourists, and there was no need to go to brothels.  Xin Lie has already seen men and women with different hair colors and skin colors, as well as buildings, animals, clothing, and objects that he has never seen before

    He was so dazzled that he couldn't even hear Captain Balu's words. His mind was almost blank, with only one thought left: "Everything in the world is so rich."

    "The great God looks down on the land below, gathers the spiritual energy of the world, and sends sweet rain. Everything in the world and all things can find a suitable environment for survival. Ah - the great God grows grains to nourish people. Today  The grains are suffering from drought and may not grow well. Now I offer you some wine and dried meats. Please listen to the voice calling for rain. Fortunately, the rain will be great"

    In a noisy corner of Nanshi, a blond boy in shabby clothes strummed an acoustic guitar and sang "Blessings for Rain" affectionately. Two big dogs, one black and one white, and a little monkey performed acrobatics together, attracting a circle of people.  Stop and watch and pray for rain is one of the favorite songs of Dongrao people.

    After singing for a while, the little monkey wearing a red hat took a bowl and walked around asking for money. Passers-by often threw one or two copper coins. However, when it came to Xin Lie's feet, Xin Lie was indifferent.  , the little monkey immediately grinned and muttered something fierce at him!  Xin Lie turned around and left in embarrassment, while Captain Balu who followed behind laughed.

    "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this moment, loud shouts came out, and five or six young men and women were seen rushing from one end of the street on tall horses. The people hurriedly got out of the way, and some people couldn't avoid it.  He even jumped to both sides, but Balu suddenly grabbed Xin Lie and dodged to the side.

    "Haha!", "Haha!" The group of young riders roared past, leaving a string of laughter while the dust was flying.

    It is so dangerous to run a horse in the market, but no one among the people was surprised, and no one dared to complain. The merchants continued to sell things, the storytellers told stories, and the illusionists performed illusions The blond boy over there also continued to sing.  : "Ah, great God, please listen to this call for rain"

    "Those who dare to race horses and carry weapons in the city are warriors, especially those famous warriors with totem marks on their clothes just now. Don't mess with them!"

    Balu¡¯s expression was serious, without any hint of playful smile, and the long scar began to look fierce, telling that he had experienced a battle of life and death.  The captain could see that Xin Lie was a little angry, and his face remained serious: "Juyan is different from Gude. There are warriors everywhere here. Sometimes you don't know how you provoked people, and you don't know why you are guilty! So don't talk nonsense, don't  Looking at people randomly! If you want to survive, just keep your head down and be a good person, we can't afford to offend you."

    "" Xin Lie was silent and looked around at the bustling scene. In any case, he finally came to the place of his dreams, the giant rock!
