Two hundred and eighty-four: going to sea (2)
Li Buzhuo watched Quan Ying enter the house before retracting his gaze. Although Zhulong's soul is powerful, his spiritual intelligence is not as smart as a cicada, and he cannot communicate with others. So Li Buzhuo didn't know why it responded to Quan Ying, so he could only think that she had a strange treasure.
Thinking of Quan Ying's performance of being a little withdrawn and timid after getting on the boat, Li Buzhuo couldn't help but think: "As a matter of fact, although she acted unbearable, there were no ordinary people who went out alone to sea."
Li Buzhuo himself possessed two treasures: the Painting Sword Book and the Zhulong, and did not covet Quan Ying. He immediately returned to the boat room to consolidate his practice of the Dharma.
…………
For three consecutive days, the sea was calm.
Every day, the sea master sailed according to a mechanism called "Hydney" on the bow hitting the corner of the ship. After three days, the Shaling Navy finally became far away.
It was early morning, and the sun slowly rose. Standing along the boat, looking eastward, the back of the fleet in the distance was as small as a row of ants, covered by hazy thin and fog.
Li Buzhuo looked down at the boat. The Yao people were always riding in wooden boats, patrolling the sea with sharp and bright eyes like sea eagles. Sometimes, one of them pierced into the water and hugged a sea fish with shiny scales.
Li Buzhuo was looking down. The middle-aged Yao man holding the fish looked up and looked at Li Buzhuo. He grinned and gave Li Buzhuo a smile, threw the fish at his feet, raised his hands and shouted at Li Buzhuo, staring at the wine bag in Li Buzhuo's hand, and pointed at the fish under his feet.
Although Li Buzhuo could not understand the ambiguous verbal speech of the Yao man with a stiff Shaling accent, he also knew that he wanted to drink, so he smiled and threw the wine bag gently. The Yao man skillfully took the wine bag, pulled the plug and took a sip, and his eyes became brighter. He showed a mouthful of white teeth to Li Buzhuo, then put his palms on his head, and made a strange position for Li Buzhuo.
"This is the way the Yao people bless you. He is asking the sea master to bless you." The head of the ship who led the boat approached and explained to Li Buzhuo. He saw the sea fish under the Yao people's feet and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a silver bead. It looks like this and it is at least forty kilograms. Today you have a good taste."
As he said that, Gangshou called Liaoshou on the side of the deck and hung a wooden barrel with a cable. The Yao people under the boat understood and put the silver spit beads into the wooden barrel. When Liaoshou pulled the wooden barrel, the Yao people put his hands together and shouted to Gangshou: "Hai Yinuo, Lu Nuo!"
When Gangshou heard this, he frowned slightly, and moved his eyes to the mist in the distance, thinking about something.
Li Buzhuo asked, "What are he talking about?"
"He said that the sea would be angry, that is, it would be a storm." Gangshou withdrew his gaze and glanced at the silver spitting beads again. "If you are willing, I will let the kitchen handle this silver spitting beads on your behalf. After half an hour, someone will come to ask you to taste it."
"It's been a labor."
After Li Buzhuo agreed, a crew member took the fish away. Gangshou left in a hurry and ordered the crew to set sail and prepare anchors.
At this time, a sea breeze blew, and the wind was filled with the sound of whales coming from a very distant place.
"Is there a storm?"
Li Buzhuo looked into the distant sea.
………………………………………
Half an hour later, someone came to Li Buzhuo's boat room and invited Li Buzhuo to the dining hall in the boat building.
The food of the people in Dongji is very different from that of Middle Earth. On sea boats, they even eat from the sea. In the past few days, Li Buzhuo has eaten all the fresh fish, shrimps, crabs and shells that are fished at any time in the sea. The silver beads obtained today are a very rare type of sea fish. They usually only move in the deep sea, and occasionally undercurrents under the sea will appear in the shallow sea.
Chu Hong had arrived at the kitchen hall, and the Qi-refiners on the boat were basically invited.
The silver beads have been made into rare stews on the table. In addition to frying, stir-frying, stewing, and also raw food. Chu Hong first picked up a chopstick of fish and said, "If it is sweet, silver beads are the top in the sea, especially the thickest fish belly, which can be said to melt in the mouth. However, the silver beads live in the deep sea all year round and die when they come out of the water. If they die for two hours, the taste will turn sharply, and the sweetest fish oil will become fishy. Therefore, even if the princes and nobles cannot enjoy this delicious food." Then he put a piece of fish into his mouth and chewed and tasted it carefully, and then smiled at Li Buzhuo and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
Everyone raised their chopsticks to have a banquet, and they exchanged their experiences at sea at random. Today was Li Buzhuo on duty. After the banquet, Chu Hong asked, "Can you find any abnormalities on the sea today?"
Li Buzhuo said: "It may be a bit of a storm, but it seems that nothing is wrong."
Chu Hong nodded and said, "I have heard from Master Hai. Since that's the case, I will trouble Brother Li for the rest of the time today."
At this time, a Qi-refiner named Ge Chuan at the table said, "I have some doubts about practicing this morning and ask Senior Zheng. Senior Zheng said that you are on the same boat and are very destined to be together, so he said that in the afternoon, he would like to pass on some practice experience to answer questions and answer questions for us. I see that this silver sprinkler is because Senior Zheng wants to make good relationships that he went out to sea to give us a full taste."
Zheng Donglai's eyes drooped and said calmly: "It's not a question of teaching, it's just some experiences. I dare not cherish it myself. It would be a blessing if I could help you."
Chu Hong looked at Zheng Donglai and smiled and said, "Brother Donglai has been in the innate world for a long time, and he is only half a step away from reaching the master. It is really a rare opportunity for you to impart experience, and it also makes my ship shine brightly."
"Thank you, Senior Zheng, for being selfless." Everyone moved one after another, and someone immediately stood up to thank him.
Zheng Donglai comforted his socks: "If you want to praise me again, I will leave with you. This dining hall is not a place to discuss practice. If you want to communicate and realize practice, please follow me to the quiet room."
After saying that, he got up and left.
Everyone followed, but Li Buzhuo was still tasting the sashimi on the table. Zheng Donglai took a step and suddenly turned back to Li Buzhuo and said, "Thanks to you today, I have tasted the deliciousness of sashimi again. Everyone here needs to discuss practice. Why don't you go together?"
Li Buzhuo said: "I should be on duty on the deck today and can't get rid of it. Besides, my meager knowledge is not a joke in front of you."
Zheng Donglai frowned slightly, said a pity, and turned around and left.
"I don't know how to lift up." Ge Chuan glanced at Li Buzhuo, his voice was extremely low, but everyone present was Qi Refiner, and his six senses were keen, so most of them naturally heard it.
Li Buzhuo didn't care and smiled slightly. Everyone left and stopped. Li Buzhuo's eyes turned and saw Quan Ying sitting at the table, restless, as if she wanted to keep up but didn't dare. Li Buzhuo noticed that she had never spitted the silver beads at the whole banquet.
