Two hundred and eighty-three: going to sea (1)

Early in the morning, a red sun emerged from the sea. Looking at the sky from the shore, the Fusang divine tree in the extreme distance seemed to be born in the rising sun.

Several returned ships unloaded their sails from a distance. The port was already very noisy and lively, with ragged slaves and organ beasts carrying goods together. Li Buzhuo came to the shore, about an hour earlier than the appointment with Chu Hong.

The ship of Shengong Pavilion has been prepared on the shore. The ship is made of iron wood and is coated with top-quality waterproof vermilion paint, which is dozens of feet long.

At this time, several simple boats made of hollowed-out sea wood floated on the sea. The lives on the boat had smooth light brown skin, simple clothes, but surprisingly bright eyes. One of the oldest, standing on the head of the boat, holding his head up and speaking a stiff Sanling dialect, was struggling to talk to Chu Hong. After a while, he didn't know what Chu Hong promised, so he looked happy.

Li Buzhuo saw that there were only simple cooking utensils in the small boats, and there was nothing else. The light brown-skinned people in the boat seemed to be integrated with the small boats under their feet, and no matter how tides fluctuated, they would be like walking on flat ground.

Li Buzhuo felt aroused. He studied overseas acquaintances in Hedong County. He heard that there were "Yao people" overseas. They were born in the sea and could not go ashore for their entire lives. Their appearance description was very similar to the strange people in these boats. It is said that the Yao people were born cursed and could not leave the sea. Even the small boats under their feet could only cut down a strange wood called "rootless" that was born in the sea to make. But they were also very good at water. They did not use harpoon fishing nets. They could just snatch the big fish into the sea and quench their thirst directly.

It is said that the Yao people occasionally have contact with foreign races in the sea. If there are Yao people escort them, the fleet will not be afraid of wind, waves, sea beasts, or invasion of aliens.

Li Buzhuo took only simple luggage and boarded the iron armored ship of Shengong Pavilion, greeted Chu Hong, and was taken to arrange a boat room. The ship of Shengong Pavilion naturally could not compare to the Hundred Ghosts Dragon Boat of Wuji. There were only some simple furnishings in the boat room, but it was cleaned very dry and clean.

In a moment, it was the eve of the ship's departure. The boatmen were taking the helm, the sails raised, and some people took the unique almanac of the sand to calculate whether the corresponding tides today were safe. At this time, the Qi Refiners invited by Chu Hong also came and gathered in the room, with a total of eleven people.

Eight of these eleven people were from Shaling, most of whom were acquainted with Chu Hong. While talking to each other, Li Buzhuo also heard their identities and knew that the highest cultivation among the Qi Refiners here was the one who sat on the head of Zheng Donglai, who was innately perfect in his cultivation. He was only one step away from Linmen, and he was expected to become a master. Although he had not been able to step out for nearly twenty years, everyone still unconsciously took him as the leader.

The remaining three people, including Li Buzhuo, were qi refiners from Shaling. One of the middle-aged men with a gentle and handsome face, the surname Fang Poyue, was from Hongzhou, and the other petite woman with a look of only a little twenties, was named Quan Ying, and claimed to be from Longzhou.

After asking everyone to take their seats, Chu Hong said: "I have already negotiated with you about going to sea before, but I still have to take the initiative to mention it again. In these days, you can practice on the ship and ask the people on the ship if you need anything. However, you can also ask one person to take turns on the deck every day. Although the crew under my hands have a telescope that can see the situation on the sea, it is not as good as you have spiritual consciousness and can detect danger."

"Since we have boarded the boat, we are naturally entrusted by others and are loyal to others." Someone immediately said with a smile.

"I feel relieved if you have Anshan's words." Chu Hong smiled, came to the sand table chart in the house, pointed to the sand table and said: "Today we set out from the port and we can catch up with the Shaling Navy who followed the whale in three days. According to the latest news yesterday, the long whale is not long since its death. I think it will not be delayed on the way. At the normal speed, it seems that our ship will be able to reach the foot of the Fusang Shenmu in less than half a month."

"We will protect Zhou Quan of the merchant ship during this period, so Boss Chu can rest assured." Someone said.

Chu Hong talked about the boat in detail like everyone else, and then everyone dispersed. As soon as Li Buzhuo returned to the cabin, Fang Poyue approached and said, "It turns out that you are also from another place. You are going to sea with the boat. Is it just to go to the crack of the Tianzhu? "

Li Buzhuo said: "I need to escort the masters and seniors from the Dharma Realm when entering the crack of the Tianzhu, but I don't have this way."

"That's natural. We, like the Qi Refiner with a thin background, naturally don't have to think about entering the crack of the Tianzhu. What's more, I have self-knowledge. With my cultivation level, even if I get treasures in the Tianzhu, it's a crime to bear a treasure, and it's just to attract others to think of it." Fang Poyue smiled self-deprecatingly, "In fact, there are many opportunities outside the Tianzhu. I heard that just a month ago, there was a deserted valley under the foot of Tianzhu suddenly growing overnight. Most of the time, there were strange treasures coming out, or a strand of the essence of the Tianzhu that had not been found was scattered here."

"One night, there were thousands of trees growing?" Li Buzhuo was slightly moved. Since January had passed, Fang Poyue had never heard of anyone finding the treasure there. The changes in the deserted valley were probably caused by humans. He thought to himself: "Is it Jiang Dongjun's work, it is indeed near the Tianzhu."

Seeing that Li Buzhuo was quite moved, Fang Poyue nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have the opportunity to enter the Tianzhu, but this kind of opportunity is to fight for. However, I was traveling in a hurry and came to Dongji alone. You saw it on the boat just now. Dongji's Qi Refiners are quite united. I saw Brother Li, you are walking alone. It's better for you and me to work together to take care of you."

Li Buzhuo came to Fusang Shenmu to find an opportunity to enter the crack of the Tianzhu. His purpose was different from Fang Poyue. Moreover, Fang Poyue was just an innate Qi Refiner who had not yet fulfilled the Great Zhoutian. Even if Li Buzhuo's cultivation level fell, if he was with him, he would find a burden for nothing. He politely refused: "I have something to do under Fusang Shenmu. Brother Fang, why not go to that fellow Taoist named Quanying?"

"It turns out that Brother Li has something to do, it's really a pity." Fang Poyue shook his head and sighed with a regretful expression. He didn't care about Li Buzhu's second half of the sentence. He just looked at the Qi Refiner in the boat room. Seeing that Li Buzhuo was calm and had the determination to be calm in the face of changes, he came to the door. However, Quan Ying was careful and seemed to be incompetent and had just come out to experience it. I don't know which senior from the family is so heartless. He is not afraid of being deceived by letting this little girl come out to experience it. Walking with her, he undoubtedly caused trouble. There are many burdens, so Fang Poyue would not have this thought.

At this moment, a girl in blue walked into the boat room and it was Quan Ying. Fang Poyue smiled at Li Buzhuo and said goodbye and left.

Quan Ying seemed a little withdrawn and timid by nature. She looked at Li Buzhuo and Fang Poyue, then avoided her eyes and hurried into her own boat room. Li Buzhuo watched her enter, but at this time, the Zhulong squinted on her waist suddenly shook slightly. Li Buzhuo knew that the Zhulong soul that was lying on the yellow buds in the sea also let out a low moan.
