Chapter 246: "The Riddle"
Early in the morning, after saying goodbye to the villagers of Yueqin Village, Xuan 'Yu' and 'Lu' Xia set out for Rixian Village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Jasmine, who had transformed into 'Lucia', was silent, and she thought back to her mother, Ophelia, over and over again. Although she has been clamoring to leave, she is really leaving, and she is suddenly very reluctant, Jasmine has lived on the island since she was a child, and has never left her mother for half a step, but now she has to hide from her relatives and embark on an unknown road alone.
Xuan 'Yu' always felt as if she had kidnapped someone else's 'daughter', and asked Jasmine again about her intentions, but she got the answer that she still had to leave. Xuan 'Yu' knows that there will always be sadness, but her mind will not change, and this Jasmine is not as fragile as she seems. Turning his mind, he remembered the expressions of the village chief of Banku and the witch doctor Ophelly, it was a complete relief, the departure of Xuan 'Yu' had restored their lives to their original state, and they were no longer entangled in the coming and going of the gods. I am like a passerby in their lives, coming and going in a hurry, but ...... He glanced down at Jasmine again...... With a light sigh, it doesn't seem to be all passers-by......
"I still don't understand, we don't have a ticket, what if we get to Rigen Village?" As she approached her destination, Jasmine finally shook off her sad thoughts and asked what she thought was a practical question.
"Who said you have to have a ticket," Xuan 'Yu' smiled and whispered, "Do you want to taste the taste of rubbing the boat?"
Jasmine was a little worried at first, but when she looked up to meet Xuan Yu's bright eyes, she suddenly felt much more relaxed, and the trip should be smooth sailing. The broken hair in front of Xuan's temples fluttered in the morning breeze, connecting the seagulls flying up and down between the sea and the sky behind him, and under the clear sky, a large ship gradually came into view, and the dancing flag had the word "riddle" reads;
"It's nice to give the ship a name like that!" Xuan 'Yu' muttered to himself, and then shifted his gaze to the small but bustling nameless dock in Rixian Village.
There were still two hours before the boarding time, and the merchants were already here. Since their cargo had already been loaded onto the ship in advance, it was easy to carry only a little luggage with them. They came from all over the world, and they were gathering together to talk about the world at this time, and Xuan 'Yu' and 'Lu' Siya were 'mixed' in them, but they were not very eye-catching.
On the big ship, the nuns were busy on the deck, but they couldn't see the sailors. Xuan 'Yu' approached a merchant who was waiting for the ship, greeted him politely, and asked, "Why is there no sailor on this ship, can it still be a nun at the helm?"
The guest was unrestrained: "Brother, you are here for the first time." ”
"That's right, please advise. "Xuan 'jade' said.
"'Riddle' is such a ship, all the nuns are in control, not to mention the sailors, even the rats on the ship are male!" he laughed heartily.
Xuan 'Yu' also echoed and laughed a few times: "That's fresh, this time I can see the heroic posture of the 'nuns' driving the boat, but it is also very interesting." ”
The merchant laughed and patted Xuan 'Yu' on the shoulder: "It depends on luck!"
"What do you say?" Xuan 'Yu' asked suspiciously, but he was answered by a long horn, and this time he could tell from the sudden surge of people that it was the signal to board the ship without asking any more questions. Soon, Xuan 'Yu' and the short 'Lucia' were left behind, and they were pushed and pushed to the back of the line.
Xuan 'Yu' was very tall, and he could see at a glance that an elderly lady was following the list of heads on the "Riddle", and there were two nuns beside her, carefully checking the identity of the passengers. Not only did they check the information at the time of registration, but they also had to be carefully interrogated before they could be released on board.
Jasmine pulled the corner of Xuan's 'jade' coat and said in a low voice: "So strict, how can we rub the boat?"
Xuan 'Yu' put his finger on the 'lips', then bowed down and whispered to Jasmine, "Close your eyes and count to three!"
Jasmine didn't know why, but she did it anyway. One, two, three! When she opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find that she was already on the boat! She wanted to scream excitedly, but was covered by Xuan 'Yu': "You must be a little bit of a thief;
"How did you do that!" Jasmine asked in a low voice, still unconcealed her excitement.
"Well...... "Xuan 'Yu' was having a headache how to explain the effect of magic to her, when she suddenly heard footsteps from far and near, pulled Jasmine and quickly stepped back.
Although Xuan 'Yu' used simple teleportation magic to get on the ship, he didn't know the structure of the ship beforehand, so he didn't know where part of the ship he was in now, and he could only tell that it was a long corridor with a 'door' in the front and back, and a partial 'door' in the middle. Footsteps came from the front, and as the 'door' opened, they flashed into the side 'door'.
Although the words "cargo compartment" were written on the "door", what Xuan "Yu" saw when he came in was an empty room.
"Didn't you say that the merchant's goods were already on the ship?" Jasmine shook her head, "Is it possible that all the merchant's goods have been sold?"
"Is that really a blessing to the God of Wealth?" Xuan 'Yu' put his ear to the 'door' and heard the two nuns who came in whispering.
"Where's the mystery?"
"Don't worry, it's already ready!"
Xuan 'jade' rolled his eyes and began to think. What exactly did they mean by the riddle? As they were thinking, Jasmine's whispered roar came from their ears: "What do you mean, what is the God of Wealth?"
Xuan 'Yu' let out a long sigh in his heart: "I'll go out and have a look, you are waiting for me here, you can't go anywhere, you know?" Xuan 'Yu' crossed the boring question and changed the direction of the topic.
"Oh......" Jasmine was quite obedient, but after honestly agreeing, she grabbed the corner of Xuan's jade's clothes again, and kept fanning the wind with her other hand, "It's really hot here, I'm thirsty, can you find me some water?"
"Okay," Xuan 'Yu' agreed, and then opened the 'door' lightly, looked around, and then flashed out. He walked down the corridor and opened the 'door' where the two nuns had just entered. What appeared in front of me was a ladder, and when I went up, I suddenly realized that I had been staying at the bottom of the cabin, but it was okay, but I was also able to hide steadily.
Xuan 'Yu' stepped into the guest hall of "Riddle" and looked out the window, and half of the people on the dock had not come up. At this time, there were few people in the guest hall, and the merchants who got on the ship generally rushed to their rooms first, but even so, Xuan 'Yu' still met acquaintances here.
In the port, Xuan 'Yu' had asked him for news, and although it was only a one-sided relationship, the other party seemed to be deeply impressed by Xuan 'Yu'. , he patted Xuan 'Yu' on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Brother, you are 'very fast', I didn't see that you had come up at a glance." ”
"Oh, yes, come early in the morning...... the corners of Xuan 'Yu''s mouth rose slightly, and his eyes wandered away from the merchant for a moment, "The luggage has been placed?"
"I've been in my room long ago," said the merchant, stretching out his arm, "I'm just too idle, and it's too guilty for me to stay in that little cubicle!"
Xuan 'Yu' smiled faintly: "Aren't you afraid of losing the goods?"
The merchant waved his hand: "The valuable things are all on the body, as for the goods...... he pointed down, "It's not in the goods warehouse, don't worry!"
"Really...... In the cargo warehouse?" Xuan 'Yu' thought of the empty 'dang' and 'dang' warehouse, and he reminded suspiciously, "It's better not to be careless." ”
The man froze for two seconds, then laughed and said, "Thank you brother for reminding me, but the riddle is safe!!"
"That's good, I'm also a newcomer, I don't know what business to do, and I have to ask you for advice on many things. Xuan 'Yu' continued to ask quietly, "For example, did we carry those goods on the ship ourselves?"
"That's right, it was already settled yesterday afternoon!" said the merchant.
"It takes that long to advance?" Xuan 'Yu' said.
"The cultivators are slower, but they are safe, perhaps protected by their gods, and there has never been a problem going back and forth in this dangerous sea!"
"Perhaps...... Is it?"
The merchant's hearty laughter echoed in the cabin again, Xuan Yu's smile disappeared after turning around, his deep gaze probed to the bow of the boat separated from the guest hall, and the figures of the nuns shuttled through the crowd of fish and dragons, even though everything was so orderly, Xuan Yu' still vaguely smelled the strange smell hidden in this "riddle"!
