799, ordinary life

The morning light is faint and the sea breeze is blowing.

Lingyu sat at the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of seabirds.

On the ship, the monks were busy in an orderly manner.

The old monk Gong Wenlong sat on the deck with a gourd and a small wine glass, drinking wine with taste.

The sun rises above the sea level, and the red round sun casts a layer of golden light between the water waves.

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed this kind of peace and quiet, and Lingyu has almost forgotten what it's like to be lazy.

Thinking about it carefully, she hasn't had a day of leisure since Dan Crush rebuilt. Even a few decades ago, when she lost her cultivation, she was exhausted day by day.

Cultivation, Destiny, Conspiracy...... After a long time, I thought that I was living such a life.

In fact, she also had a time when she cultivated to be low, worked hard to make money, and calculated every penny to spend it.

became a high-level monk, and he had the power to move mountains and seas, but he became more and more dissatisfied. I want to have more power, I want to defeat those who are against me, and I want everyone to be unable to say no in front of me......

When did it become so campy?

Thinking back to the beginning, if she knew that she had such a day, high up, holding the lives of thousands of monks in the sect, standing at the peak of the Cangming realm, and showing the face to whomever she wanted, she would definitely be so excited that she couldn't sleep, right?

However, when you stand taller and taller, you often get used to this feeling and no longer have any excitement.

Now, in the midst of these foundation-building monks, she experienced that feeling all over again.

Reverence for the fairy road, anticipation for the future, and. That sense of satisfaction that has paid off.

Cai Ning's voice came from the high platform.

"It's here. Anchoring. ”

All hands on deck. Throw the iron anchor into the water.

After the boat came to a halt, some put on their gear and prepared to go to sea.

Cai Ning walked over and explained to Lingyu and them: "This piece is the densest coral group on Lingshu Island. The income from coral picking is not much, but it is very stable, in case we don't encounter sea beasts, we will have to rely on the income from coral picking to make a living. ”

"I see. Cai Daoyou. Can I get into the water? Lingyu asked her.

Cai Ning hesitated, Zhuji Monk, she was able to lurk underwater for a long time with her cultivation, but she was not worried about any accidents if Lingyu went into the water. It's just that the technique of coral picking is unique, and it can't be learned in a while.

"Xiao Cai, let her go." Old Man Gong drank a little wine and said, "Cheng Daoyou's cultivation is high enough, and he will be fine." ”

Gong Wenlong spoke. Cai Ning didn't object: "Cheng Daoyou, it's your first time going to sea." If you don't have the corresponding equipment, just go into the water and take a look. Make money, don't rush at this time. ”

Lingyu agreed. As for what to do after entering the water, Cai Ning can't care about it......

As he spoke, those who were ready to enter the water were already dressed in their gear. The clothes they wore were specially made of the skin of some kind of sea beast, so that they could swim in the sea. The Qiankun bag for corals and the knives used to cut corals are also different from ordinary ones.

Everyone also brought a spiritual weapon to warn, which can save lives at critical moments.

The few who went into the water were all early stage cultivators, Cai Ning, Gong Wenlong and Xie Qi did not move, they wanted to preserve their strength and keep them to deal with sea beasts.

The seven people went into the water one after another, and Lingyu said to Xu Yi and jumped into the sea.

Corals grow offshore and need sunlight, so they don't go too deep.

Lingyu dived into the sea, and could see the sunlight penetrating from the sea surface, reflecting the sparkling waves of the transparent seawater.

In the deep blue water, colorful corals loom in the middle, and schools of fish shuttle in the middle, bumping into the people who enter the water, not afraid at all, and even come up to bite, as if they are curious about what it is.

Lingyu chased among the schools of fish as she watched the people picking corals.

Of course, what they want to pick is not ordinary coral, those that have no aura, no matter how beautiful they are, they are useless to the monks. What they are looking for is a special species hidden deep in ordinary corals.

This is easier said than done. It's easy to find special corals and pick them up, and there are no special requirements. The difficulty is that it is not easy to find a special species from the dense coral thicket. In this sea area, there is a small spiritual vein at the bottom, so most of the corals that grow out have aura, and only when the quality meets certain requirements can it be sold for money.

The monks who went into the water rummaged among the corals, and in addition to the special corals, they would also rummage through pearl shells, sea stones, or seaweeds, and maybe there were some treasures hidden in them.

After a while, Gao Zi'an found a coral, and he gestured to Lingyu, motioning for her to come and watch.

Lingyu swam over and saw him pull out the special knife, gently pry it along the bottom, and then cut it neatly, quickly putting the coral into the Qiankun bag.

"Cheng Daoyou, the polyps under these corals are basically alive, be careful not to hurt them." Gao Zi'an used his divine sense to transmit, "When you go back, you can also buy a coral knife." ”

Lingyu nodded and thanked him.

After looking for a while, he dug up a few more corals, and Gao Zi'an rummaged through the seagrass and rocks.

One of their companions found a huge pearl shell and dug up a round spirit bead, which envied everyone. The beads were of excellent quality and could be used in medicine, selling for more than the corals they collected. Half of what they pick up themselves, in terms of scores, goes into their own pockets.

Every time a treasure is found, an atmosphere of joy spreads throughout the sea.

Even if they don't find it themselves, they can get a share of the money, and the more the total income, the more they can share.

Pick for half a day, rest for a while, and continue to enter the water.

After two days of picking corals, another sea boat came to this side, and Cai Ning gave an order, and everyone returned to the ship and began to count the harvest.

They were lucky, and everyone had joy on their faces.

Listening to the noisy and noisy appraisal on the deck, Lingyu said to Xu Zhi: "Don't you think it's very vivid?" It's been a long time since I've felt this way, and finding a tiny coral can bring so much joy. ”

"Hmm." Xu Cheng didn't have much expression on his face, but Lingyu clearly saw a different love in his eyes.

Xu Rui's feeling will be more profound, right? He was different from her. When refining gas and building a foundation. There is simply no chance to experience this kind of life. I don't know how ordinary monks live.

He doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, as long as he cultivates, he will naturally have a large amount of spirit stones for him to spend. He will not be happy at a little gain, because with a sword hanging over his head that will fall at any time, survival has become the biggest problem......

Now, when he came into contact with these ordinary monks, he discovered this ordinary life. There is much more joy than he has.

The higher you cultivate, the more you have, and the fewer things you can touch.

When did they begin to lose the joy of their gain and indulge in their own power and hegemony?

In this sea team, Xu Yi saw that he had never been more vigorous, and Lingyu reflected more on his dependence on strength.

Although some people always say that she is domineering and arrogant. But Lingyu never felt that he was really a person who relied on his strong strength to run rampant. She relied on her own cultivation. It is to achieve its own goals, not to show off its might.

However, when she truly reflects on her heart, she cannot deny that she is becoming more and more dependent on power.

No matter what she thinks, she is indeed relying on her strength to run rampant.

What if one day, there is no cultivation? She couldn't help but shiver at this thought.

Assuming that she had no cultivation, she felt that she would not be able to live.

In this way, does it count as an over-reliance on power? Have you become a slave to power?

She didn't dare to think about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her state of mind was not as perfect as she thought.

On deck, all the harvest was put away, and the ship lifted anchor and continued on its way.

Now they are going to the deep sea.

For a few days, Lingyu was very silent, and Xu Yi was also absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gao Zi'an often came to talk to her.

"Cheng Daoyou, I heard that Lingcang's sect is very strong, are you having a hard time in Lingcang?" He was most interested in the matter of Lingcang.

This is a very interesting phenomenon, the scattered cultivators of Xingluohai always think that the Lingcang Sect is domineering and domineering, and the scattered cultivators are living a very difficult life.

And Ling Cang's scattered cultivation often feels that the order of Xingluo Sea is chaotic and not as safe as Ling Cang.

"It's okay, it's not very difficult, it's similar here."

"Huh, wouldn't you? I heard that your Lingcang sect is very domineering, and most of the resources are controlled by them. ”

That's true, but some of the resources are open. Moreover, there is a sect to maintain order, and no one will be bullied casually. Lingyu said implicitly.

In Lingcang, the status of loose cultivation is of course not as good as that of the disciples of the sect, but with the sect to maintain order, whether it is the major immortal cities or the gathering place of loose cultivation such as Huiling Lake, it is relatively safe.

Xingluohai is relatively free, but it is also chaotic, if there is no backer, there is nowhere to reason if you suffer.

In general, the scattered cultivators have a better life in Xingluohai than Lingcang, all kinds of resources are open, there are many ways to obtain them, and they will not be held in the hands of the sect. However, there are gains and losses, and Xingluohai is much more dangerous than Lingcang.

Gao Zi'an asked a lot about Lingcang with great interest, and along with it, other people also surrounded Lingyu to ask questions when they were idle, which relieved Lingyu's depressed mood.

Cultivation of the state of mind is not something that happens overnight. There are many people who have been lost in their state of mind for many years until they have an epiphany.

After several days of sailing, they finally reached the deep sea.

Cai Ning summoned everyone and issued an order: "We have reached the deep sea, everyone must be vigilant, once the sea beast appears, immediately enter the battle state." ”

"Zi'an, Xiaoyuan, you guard in shifts."

Gao Zi'an and a young girl responded.

"Gu Qiu, Mingyi, you two assist them, if something is wrong, warn immediately."

A couple in their early thirties said they received.

"The others are business as usual." After Cai Ning finished speaking, let them all return to you.

"Cai Daoyou, what are we doing?" Lingyu asked.

Cai Ning smiled: "You can just call me Xiao Cai or A-Ning, you don't have to see me like this." Then he said, "You can cultivate to a high level, just sit in the town, and when the time comes, you will be the main force when you find the sea beast." ”

"Okay." Lingyu has no problem with this distribution method. (To be continued......)
