After the children's one-month celebration and a night's rest, Ye Yiqing ordered the crew to pull the anchor and sail away from Baoxiang Kingdom. They had to continue sailing westward.
Grateful to Ye Zhen for saving their kingdom, he sent them many precious treasures on behalf of the Luo King.
"This is the Treasure Mother. I heard that every fifteenth night, it is placed at the seaside, where all kinds of treasures are gathered. This is the Sea Mirror Shell, which is so transparent that it can reflect the sun. There are also the Great Fire Bead and the Clear Water Bead …" Ye Zhen looked at the gifts sent on behalf of the Luo King and was stunned. "I didn't expect that although Baoxiang Kingdom is small, there are so many treasures, and they are all rare in the world."
Ye Zhen glanced at the gifts. "These are all treasures obtained from the bottom of the sea. They must have collected a lot of precious treasures over the years."
"We only gave them a few dozen bolts of cloth and porcelain. It seems that they have suffered a loss." In return, Ye Yiqing sent silk and cloth on behalf of the Luo King. They seemed very happy, thinking that the silk was some kind of treasure.
"For us, silk and porcelain are things we are used to seeing, but for them, these are all rare things. Therefore, the things that they think are treasures are not worth mentioning to us, but the things that we think are treasures are also not worth mentioning in their eyes," Ye Yiqing explained to Zhao Yang with a smile.
"No wonder the merchants in the past always liked to go to sea with silk, tea, and porcelain. With these things, they can exchange for a lot of treasures."
"Keep them, we can still use them at sea, especially this winter rhinoceros. The nights at sea are getting colder and colder. Put it beside the two children and they can avoid the cold." Ye Yiqing said.
"Good." Ye Zhen took out what she could use and let Hong Ling put the rest. "Dad, where will we go next?"
"I asked Chi Man. He said that he would arrive in Luofu in about ten days." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Zhen was stunned. She remembered that in Qi Yanling's travels, there seemed to be a mountain between Luofu and Baoxiang.
For the next month, Ye Zhen paid special attention to the scene outside the ship, but she never saw the mountain that was recorded in Qi Yanling's travels. She didn't even see the Luofu Kingdom on the route map.
"Will the mountains on the sea disappear?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
Ye Yiqing said, "Yes, it will. It's normal for islands and mountains to disappear from the sea due to rising sea levels or other natural causes such as earthquakes. It's not unusual for an island to appear at any time."
"There's actually such a change in the sea." Ye Zhen was amazed and looked up at the sea. Suddenly, she found that she could see a mountain. "Dad, there seems to be a mountain over there."
Ye Yiqing took the binoculars and looked over. There was indeed a mountain in front of them. Although it was different from the route map left by Qi Yanling, it should have been shifted by the earthquake in the past hundred years.
"It shouldn't be just a mountain," Ye Yiqing said.
Their ship got closer and closer, and they could see more clearly in front of them. It wasn't just a mountain, but a very large island. It looked many times larger than the island in Baoxiang Kingdom. They first saw a steep and flat mountain with a spring at the top. From afar, it looked like a white horse hanging upside down from the top. There was a huge waterfall that was thousands of feet high, and beside the waterfall was a large round stone that looked like the head of Bodhisattva.
The folding fan was too steep for their ship to stop at all, so they could only continue to sail forward. After about an hour or so, they saw a large port. There were already many ships parked nearby. Boatmen shuttled back and forth in the port. It was bustling with people coming and going. It seemed to be not inferior to Jinkou City at all.
Ye Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. She turned to Ye Yiqing. "Dad, is this … Luofu Kingdom?"
"It shouldn't be." Ye Yiqing shook his head. Luofu Kingdom was similar to Baoxiang Kingdom. Such a large port should not have been built by Luofu Kingdom.
"The port looks similar to Jinkou City." Ye Zhen said. "Shall we dock?"
Ye Yiqing was very interested in this place. It was really rare to find such a developed country on the sea.
"Let's dock." Ye Yiqing nodded and ordered the ship to sail to the port.
If this was not the Luofu Kingdom mentioned by Qi Yanling, then it must be a new island or a new country that appeared later.
The port was indeed very lively, and it seemed that there were all kinds of people here. Some had blond hair and blue eyes, and some had black skin all over their bodies. Ye Zhen was amazed by the scene in front of her. Needless to say, the others were completely stunned by the scene in front of them.
"Dad, their streets are really similar to Jinkou City, and … did you notice that even the houses look the same?" Ye Zhen whispered. Although there were still some differences, they looked very similar.
Ye Yiqing found that the buildings here were more modern. He was almost sure that Qi Yanling must have left a lot of traces on this island.
He remembered the rumor that all the descendants of Qi Yanling had disappeared in the Jin Kingdom, and their whereabouts were unknown. Did they come here?
Their ship was very big. As it slowly approached the shore, several people who looked like officials immediately came over.
"Where did your excellency come from?" When they saw Ye Yiqing, they asked in very clear Chinese.
"We are all merchants from the Jin Kingdom. We passed by a treasure land and wanted to come here to look for business opportunities." Ye Yiqing replied with a smile, looking really like a businessman.
The leading official said, "Then please come and register."
"Good." Ye Yiqing nodded and handed the binoculars in his hand to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was still immersed in shock. She almost suspected that they were on the wrong route and that they had already returned to the Jin Kingdom. She watched Ye Yiqing disembark and register with the officials. When she turned her head, she saw other ships approaching. The officials saw that the other party was a blue-eyed man and spoke in a different language. Anyway, Ye Zhen did not understand what he was saying.
It was … amazing!
"What is this place?" Zhao Yang asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Maybe there are more surprises in it." Ye Zhen was excited. She even felt that they would be able to stay here for many days. There were so many surprises on the sea.
Ye Yiqing came back and said, "They are the port trade officials. We need to go through their trading firm to trade here. Let's get off the ship and have a look. The goods will not be taken away for the time being. Man Qin and Tian Jiu will look after them."
"Through the trading firm?" Ye Zhen was surprised. "Isn't that the same as Jinkou City?"
"Isn't this another Jinkou City?" Zhao Yang was also surprised. "Is it another Jin Kingdom?"
It was impossible to be another Jin Kingdom. Maybe it was the disappeared Jing Kingdom.
