Ji Tang

Chapter 802 The ten-year journey home!
On the vast sea, the moonlight filled the air, and a huge fleet was slowly moving forward on the night sea.

This is a fleet composed of twelve three thousand stone ships. In the night, you can still see a flag hanging on the mast of the ship.

Don!
The originally bright colors are now much duller, but under the blowing of the sea breeze, you can still feel the faint calmness and domineering!

Yes, this is the fleet that went to sea ten years ago.

At this point, it's back.
On the deck, Tang Jian, who was already gray-haired, looked toward the southwest with his handrail down, and there was Chang'an, where he dreamed of returning to his dream at midnight.

Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng, Wang Xuance, and Xue Li were silently accompanying him behind him.

Beside them were two old men dressed in strange clothes. They were the diviner Tinaire and the prophet Calimor of the Mayan civilization.

It was now the eve of the moon's waning and sunrise. Tang Jian was so homesick that he couldn't sleep. Ji Qing and others were worried about the elderly Tang Jian coming out alone.The two Kanels heard that they would be able to conquer a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty tomorrow, so they came out impatiently to wait, wanting to see what this magical and over-the-top vassal state looked like for the first time.

"Mr. Tang, you'd better take a rest!"

Ji Qing whispered.

But Tang Jian smiled, waved his hand, and sighed: "This man can't sleep at an old age. I didn't expect that there would be a day when he could return to the Central Plains."

"At the beginning, I came here with the great ambition of making a name for myself before my death, but now..."

Tang Jian smiled casually. All the fame and fortune, all the fame before and after his death, were all passing by in his eyes now, not worth mentioning at all!
The sage said well, traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, this is the ambition that a scholar should have.

Before arriving in Maya, both Ji Qing and others, as well as him, thought that the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous country in the world, both academically and culturally.

But after seeing the numeracy and astronomical achievements of the Mayans, I realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. They underestimated the people in the world.

Who would have thought that on the other side of the sea, thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, there would be such a group of races similar to the Central Plains people.

Although in his opinion, their system and production capacity were not worth mentioning, they far surpassed Datang in other aspects.

In particular, their achievements in mathematics and astronomy were beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Maya's knowledge of astronomy far exceeded people's imagination. They were able to master the laws of solar eclipses and the movements of the sun, moon and Venus.

This was simply unbelievable in the Tang Dynasty. The earth under your feet was a sphere, and it could even self-generate and revolve around the sun.

A week without autobiography is a day, and a week without the sun is a year. The distance from the sun forms spring, summer, autumn and winter.

At first he thought they were fantasizing, and even despised their ignorance.

But in the end, it turned out that he was the most ignorant one, because according to what Ji Qing and others said, this was consistent with what their husband, that boy Ji Song, said!
Thousands of miles apart, he came to the same conclusion. After in-depth exploration, he had to admit that he was convinced.

"It's really unimaginable that you guys come from such a far away place."

Tinaire all praised.

There were more than [-] people coming on the ship this time, including hundreds of scholars and leaders from all walks of life. The others were young students and their disciples.

As well as the messengers from the largest city-state in the Maya, the recognized king of the Maya, they brought greetings from thousands of miles away.They could have brought more people with them, but who would have known that they would encounter a reef not long after setting off, and a ship would be knocked out of a big hole and remain silent.

Although some things were lost, fortunately there were no casualties.Everyone was rescued before the ship sank completely.

But the problem that followed was that there was not enough space on the ship. In the end, Maya had to streamline its personnel, leaving only more than 500 people.

"Yes, I have been sailing on the sea for more than three months and I haven't reached my destination yet. This is simply a miracle!"

Karimor made a strange movement and muttered something.Tang Jian knew that this was a kind of prayer etiquette, just like the Tang Dynasty Buddhist's joining hands ceremony and the Taoist's head-offering ceremony, and the words in his mouth were no different from those of Amitabha and Infinite Heaven!
They believe in the sun god and a totem that is very similar to a dragon, which is the same as the belief in the Taiyi god before the Han Dynasty.

Things in the world are always so strange. Two ethnic groups that are basically unrelated and far away have the same beliefs and similar totems. What an incredible thing!

"I wonder how my husband is doing? We decided where to stay for ten years without permission. Maybe everyone thought we were gone!"

Liu Xiancheng is a delicate and sad person, and he said with some emotion.

"Hehe, after all, I won't be able to escape after being beaten this time. Since I haven't seen my husband yet, I can just be happy for one day!"

Wang Xuance looked at Tang Jian and said, "Mr. Tang, you have to stop me when the time comes. It would be bad if you get hit by sir. I'm afraid of the pain!"

"Hahaha!"

Wang Xuance was the one who jumped out the most. As soon as he said his words, everyone laughed, and the sadness that had just risen in their hearts suddenly disappeared completely.

"You! You are just a little naughty boy, but you are most similar to that boy Ji Song. But I already have old arms and legs, and that boy Ji Song is in his prime. If I want to beat you all up, I can't help it! "

Wang Xuance looked at Xue Li again. He was the most powerful martial artist here. He had killed many people in the army over the years, and he had honed his abilities and other skills.

The three of them focused on learning, but their martial arts skills were neglected a lot. Now they are no match for Xue Li, especially their superb archery skills. They are revered by the Mayans as the God of Arrows, and no one can match them.

Xue Li followed the path of a military general and had little interest in these knowledge, so he led his soldiers to walk in the jungle all day long, exploring the four directions, and fighting was inevitable.

"Don't count on me!"

Xue Li knew what Wang Xuance was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He had not been tricked over the years. He had been trained for it. How could he be fooled?

"I am good at martial arts, but you have also seen my master's martial arts. Do you expect me to resist? I'm afraid you are overthinking. Anyway, if I can block it, I will block it, and if I can't, I will run away. I can't beat you, but I’m still somewhat sure about running.”

"As for you."

He glanced sideways at Wang Xuance and said, "Just wish yourself good luck!"

Tinaire and Carl Moore are both smart people. They have been together for nearly ten years and have long been able to speak fluent Tang Mandarin. Naturally, they can understand what they are saying.

But just because he could understand it, he became very interested in the Ji Song they talked about.
