The westernmost part of the mainland is the shoreless sea. Dongqin is not a country next to the shoreless sea. There are many small countries along the shoreless sea, and even many tribes of unsuccessful countries.

It is said that the shoreless sea is unknown, so no one is willing to live and live near the shoreless sea. Dong Qin even further out the territory and left a no-man's land between Dong Qin and the shoreless sea.

But it was only at first that there was no one. After generations of changes, many tribes still chose to make a living in that place. Because there was no control of a big country there, and because of their existence, the Wushanhai and Dongqin were no longer connected, so Dongqin did not require those small countries and tribes to surrender, and gave them relative freedom.

However, those people still have a very difficult life because although they guard the sea, they dare not use the sea to make a living. There is a thick fog on the shoreless sea all year round, and no matter how strong the wind is, they cannot be blown away. People have also tried to let fishing boats go out to sea, but unfortunately, they will fall into the fog if the fishing boats cannot go far. Not only can they catch any fish, but many people have also turned in.

Gradually, they gave up the idea of ​​going out to sea to catch fish and instead farmed. Fortunately, the land still grows crops, so people will not starve to death. They occasionally do some small business with Dongqin, and survive tenaciously from generation to generation.

The west of the Eastern Qin Dynasty and closest to the shoreless sea is called Shatu, which belongs to Qingzhou Prefecture. And between Shatu and the shoreless sea, there is a small country called Lantang.

On this day, all the royal families of Tang Lan Kingdom gathered on the shoreless sea, knelt down facing the shoreless sea, recited the unique prayer of Tang Lan Kingdom, begged the sea god with his most pious heart, ask the sea god to calm down, and ask the sea god to continue to protect Tang Lan's people.

Yes, they have always believed in the sea god, and every Tanglan citizen enshrines the statue of the sea god in their homes. They believe that the shoreless sea has gods, and the heavy fog on the sea surface is a illusion scattered by the gods. They firmly believe that as long as they pass through that fog, they can reach the territory of the sea god, thus break away from the mortals, live with the heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and the moon.

During the New Year Festival, the people of Tanglan would sacrifice to the sea god, take out all the best food in their homes and worship them in front of the sea god statue. Then they burn incense and pray, pray for good weather in the future, be able to eat and wear warmly, and have a peaceful and prosperous country.

In addition, when Tang Lan people encounter difficulties, or have a knot that cannot be untied in their hearts, or have strong wishes that need to be blessed by the power of gods, they will also choose to worship the statue of the sea god, just like the Middle Earth people burn incense and worship Buddha.

Therefore, when the shoreless sea changes arise and the waves surging fiercely, the Tanglan royal family decided to come to the beach to worship the gods.

In addition to setting up the incense case, they also caught a man, a man who they believed to be slandering the gods and was extremely disrespectful to the gods - the crazy scholar, Meng Li.

Everything originated from a miscellaneous note written by Meng Li. In the miscellaneous note, he once wrote that he met an immortal on the shoreless sea, who came out of thin air and disappeared, leaving only news about the queen named Feng on the other side of the shoreless sea.

The Tanglan people no matter what the queen surnamed Feng, and no matter how many amazing things Meng Li said about the queen surnamed Feng, they only care about the statement "the other side of the shoreless sea".

Since the shoreless sea is called the shoreless sea, it means there is no shore. Where does the other side of the shore come from?

Meng Li's statement obviously violated the taboo of the sea god, and he even wrote this statement into a miscellaneous note, which was openly provoking the authority of the sea god. So the sea god was angry, so the sea without shore was uneasy.

It has been several months in a row, and the waves of the Sea of ​​No Sea have become more fierce day by day. Now the waves are more than five feet higher. Even the Tang Lan people, who are most familiar with the Sea of ​​No Sea, feel the pressure. The city territory continues to retreat, and the power of the huge waves has caused them to lose two cities. Tang Lan is a small country, and the cities together are only ten. If this continues, Tang Lan will be gone.

The place where they are kneeling now is not a beach, but a city in Tanglan Kingdom, but this city has become a dead city, and no one lives here. Everything has been emptied, leaving only empty houses.

The reason why they kneel here can face the shoreless sea because the shoreless sea has completely swallowed up the two cities in front, and the coastline spread to the edge of the city. The originally prosperous city has now become the seaside.

Tang Lan people tied Meng Li to a big tree. The roots of the tree had already been sank into the sea water. Meng Li tied it to it, and half of her body was also immersed in the sea water. When the huge waves hit him, the sea water would not reach his neck, and occasionally it would pour into his mouth, making it difficult to breathe.

Tang Lanren kept reciting the prayer scriptures, praying that the sea god could stop being angry, and constantly telling the hope that the sea god would swallow Meng Li, and that all the sins would be borne by Meng Li alone.

Unfortunately, the sea god seemed to be unable to hear their prayers at all, and the waves were still higher than the day.

Meng Li's nerves were a little abnormal. He kept shouting wildly: "There is no sea god at all. You stupid Tanglan people, you don't know anything, there is no sea god at all. What are you praying for? This is a sign of the coming of a big roar. This is a natural disaster. If you don't go back to evacuate the people, you actually kneel here to recite scriptures. Are you stupid?"

Unfortunately, no one listened to him, and people were still chanting scriptures constantly. This is the persistence of the Tanglan people and their belief.

Another gulp of sea water entered Meng Li's mouth, but he kept shouting: "There are no gods in this world, and there are no gods in the sea. The fog on the shoreless sea is just a kind of sea formation. As long as you can break this sea formation, you can go out to sea to catch fish and obtain resources in the sea through this sea area. Instead of chanting scriptures here, it is better to hide away. As long as you avoid this natural disaster, you will go to find someone who can break the sea formation. In this way, your descendants can live a better life!"

Some Tang Lan people couldn't listen anymore and asked him loudly: "There is no god? Then why did you write in the miscellaneous notes that you saw a god? Why did you say that he came out of thin air and disappeared? If it weren't for a god, who could have come out of thin air and disappeared? Or was your miscellaneous notation simply fake?"

"It's true, absolutely true!" Meng Li immediately defended himself, but it was precisely because of this defense that he fell into contradiction, so that after saying this, Meng Li himself was confused.

Yes, if there is no god, what kind of existence does the person he saw? He really saw that person appear out of thin air, and also watched that person dissipate between heaven and earth. He has always believed that what he saw is a god, but since he can see the gods, why can't the Tang Lan people see it too? He clearly believed that there are gods in this world and had seen it with his own eyes, so why should we deny the Tang Lan people's belief in the sea god now?

Meng Li was completely confused, and at this time, Tang Lanren had a new speculation: "Crazy Scholar, if the words in your miscellaneous notes are true, if you have seen a god or not lying, then is it possible that the one you met is the sea god?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Meng Li was also shocked and subconsciously wanted to say no, but how can he prove that this is not?

Tang Lanren continued to analyze: "You said that god knew about the opposite side of the Sea of ​​Wushang, and you also said that he told you many things that do not exist in this world at all. So how did he know? How did he know so clearly about the opposite side of the Sea of ​​Wushang? Only when he is the sea god can he know everything! Crazy scholar, what you see is the sea god!"

Meng Li had no way to refute, and even he began to follow the Tang Lan people's ideas and began to speculate on the identity of the god.

Sea God, this is indeed the same direction! The chances of that god being a sea God are indeed very high.

Could it be that there are really gods in the shoreless sea?

"Then you won't let me go!" Meng Li suddenly shouted again, "I have seen the sea god, so you won't let me go!"

"Can't let it go!" Gongsun An, the king of Tang Lan, shouted: "The reason why the sea god is angry is because you announced what he said to you to the world. The sea god just wanted to find someone to talk to, but you didn't expect that you actually wrote the sea god's secret into a miscellaneous note, which made everyone know about it. Therefore, the sea god was angry. All this comes from you, and it comes from you, a person who cannot keep the secret! We must present you to the sea god so that the angry god can calm the sea god's anger, and so that we can comfort the Tang Lan people who lost their lives in the sea god's wrath. Crazy scholar, you deserve to die, no one can save you!"

"Yes! You deserve to die, no one can save you!"

The Tanglan royal family shouted heart-wrenchingly, and endless anger erupted from their eyes, and they could not burn Meng Li to death.

Meng Li was also a little panicked. The soaking of the sea water had already made him feel the breath of death, but he didn't want to die. He wanted to see the immortal again. He was still illusioned that one day he could cross the shoreless sea and reach the continent on the other side.

He thought about living the kind of life that the gods said, and he even wanted to meet the queen named Feng.

He had too many wishes that had not been fulfilled, how could he die like this?

"You will let me go soon. If you don't let me go, the sea god will be even more angry! Now Tang Lan has lost two cities. You shouldn't you want to put the entire Tanglan Kingdom in?" Meng Li shouted loudly, "Think about it, at first, the waves in the sea were just a little fiercer than before, but you couldn't hold back and arrested me everywhere. What's the result? You caught me and buckled me in the sea. You still knelt on the sea and recited scriptures all day long, but did the sea god's anger fade away?"
