Seeing that Uncle Nian was about to leave, Xun Que stopped in front of him and said with a smile: "Uncle Nian, why are you so desperate? ”

Uncle Nian's cloudy eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, and said, "Old man, you can't guess my thoughts, and you won't understand." I don't have any other skills, so don't tease people like me when I'm old. ”

"Uncle Nian, I am a phase master below." Xun Que raised his eyebrows and looked at Uncle Nian with a smile.

Uncle Nian looked at Xun Que expressionlessly and said, "Can the phase master turn back time decades ago?" If I can go backwards, I'll help you build a ship! ”

"No, no, Uncle Nian, I can't help you turn back time, but just now, these young people are nobles and nobles for you." Xun Que had an unfathomable expression on his face.

Uncle Nian turned around, looked at Zhang Sui, Wuxin Monk, Ah Xin, Lu Xiaoman and Zhou Yanxin, shook his head and said, "Just these dolls?" It doesn't add up to an old man, I'm old! ”

"Ambition is not in the young, and the same is not in the old. Uncle Nian, you might as well try and talk about your difficulties. You also saw that these two groups of us are holding dragon pattern jade pendants, you don't have to worry that we are here to make fun of you, right? Xun Que followed the good path.

Uncle Nian pondered for a while, nodded and said, "You're right. ”

"If you tell us about your difficulties, we won't be able to do it then, and we can't blame you, right?"

"That's right."

"If you can't solve your problem, then you can't make a good ship, and the responsibility is not yours, but ourselves, right?"

"That's true."

"But what if we're done? It has been a fiasco, but if we complete your problem, you will be able to accomplish your greatest achievement in the last moments of your life, after all, the great ship you built carried us across the southern abyss. ”

Xun Que looked at Uncle Nian with a smile and didn't speak.

Uncle Nian paced, looking at Zhang Sui and the others for a while, and Xun Que for a while, for a long time, he still walked towards the town.

Xun Que was speechless, and was about to catch up, but he heard Uncle Nian say: "You go to the house and wait, I'll cook a meal!" ”

Zhang Sui and his entourage entered the house on their own.

Looking at Lu Xiaoman, who was sitting opposite him, and Zhou Yanxin, who had been keeping his head down, Zhang Sui wanted to speak several times, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Yanxin, didn't you let you go back?" Minami no Abyss is very dangerous, you can't go! ”

Zhou Yanxin's two little hands were pulled together, his head was lowered, and he didn't speak.

Lu Xiaoman opened his mouth and said coldly: "What we do is our own business, what you do is your business, we don't have much to do with you, I have made it clear that night, what are you still struggling with?" ”

Zhang Sui clenched his hands into fists, glanced at Zhou Yanxin, who didn't say a word, didn't even look at himself, took a deep breath, slowly spit out, and stopped talking.

Uncle Nian bought a few fish and came back, and when Zhang saw this, he followed Uncle Nian over and helped make braised fish.

Uncle Nian was full of praise for Zhang Sui's craftsmanship, even Xun Que, Wuxin Monk and Ashin.

Ju Xiaoman and Zhou Yanxin sat far away, eating the dry food they brought.

After eating and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Uncle Nian beckoned to a few people and said, "Follow me." ”

Zhang Sui, Ju Xiaoman and his entourage followed Uncle Nian out of Zhutian Town in confusion.

I saw that Uncle Nian rented a carriage and said to the coachman: "Xiao Li, go to the near sea." ”

Zhang Sui and the others jumped into the carriage and left in the carriage.

The term "inshore" refers to a large lake that flows into Minaminobuchi.

The carriage traveled for nearly half a day, and it was only at night that it reached the edge of the lake.

There were many fishing boats docked on the shore of the lake, and when Uncle Nian took Zhang Sui and Ju Xiaoman to arrive, it was already night, and the people on the fishing boats had gone home.

Sent back to the carriage, Uncle Nian took Zhang Sui and Ju Xiaoman and them to jump into a small boat, and then Uncle Nian supported the pole and drove a group of people along the west side of the lake.

Looking at the reeds on both sides of the lake that gradually grew higher and higher, Zhang Sui and Ju Xiaoman and their party were a little puzzled and puzzled.

It's not that they are worried about Uncle Nian's deception, Uncle Nian's cultivation can only be regarded as a high-level warrior at most, for a group of martial kings like them, there is no difference between them and ants.

Until Ashin exclaimed, pointed his right hand ahead and said, "Boat!" There are boats there! ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Ashin, and saw that as the boat gradually and laboriously sailed into the reeds, one side was tattered, and the canvas embroidered with a green dragon was clearly visible.

Finally, Uncle Nian propped up the boat and slid into a clean river.

The river is nearly ten zhang wide, and there are no weeds or reeds in it!

In the river, everyone looked at a large boat in front of them in shock.

The large ship is nearly six zhang long and two zhang wide, and the mast of the ship is nearly six zhang high, and there is a lookout at five zhang.

There are two bed crossbows on each side of the ship!

Uncle Nian sat on the bow of the boat out of breath, directing Ashin and Monk Wuxin to row the boat towards the big boat.

When the boat came to the side of the big ship, he saw that the two sides of the big ship were firmly chained to the reeds on both sides, and the chains were soaked with dew, but there was no rust.

Everyone looked up at the big ship and was amazed.

Looking at the big ship, the monk Wuxin said: "Old donor, it turns out that you have already prepared such a ship and waited!" ”

Xun Que's eyes flashed with light, and said: "The river on both sides has been artificially cleaned, and the iron chains on both sides are clean without a trace of rust, these must be Uncle Nian's handiwork." ”

Uncle Nian climbed up from a ladder made of hemp rope hanging down from the big boat, stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the endless lake in the sky, and said, "I have made this by myself in the nearly twenty years since my son went to the Thousand Machine Sect. From the choice of a plank, to the construction of each part, it was only last year that the ship was built. I come every day to clean the river and clean up the boat. I often wonder if the ship will be buried in the reeds with me when my soul returns to heaven. ”

The Wuxin monk said: "Then now the old benefactor doesn't have to worry, he scared the poor monk, and thought that it would take several years for you to build a big ship." At that time, maybe the old benefactor kicked his legs halfway and went to the Western Heaven Elysium. ”

Ju Xiaomanqiao had a hint of excitement on her face, and said: "In this case, Uncle Nian, we will sail away on this boat, and the elders of the younger generation will thank Uncle Nian for his kindness for twenty years!" ”

Zhang Sui said with a cold face: "This ship is ours." ”

Ju Xiaoman sneered: "So, are you ready to fight with me and my little sister?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Sui and Ju Xiaoman were about to quarrel, Uncle Nian laughed and swept away his previous decadence.

Zhang Sui and Ju Xiaoman both looked at Uncle Nian suspiciously.

Uncle Nian stroked the beard under his chin and said, "You are all going to Nanzhiyuan, this ship is enough for you to be together." ”

Ju Xiaoman snorted coldly.

"But-" Uncle Nian's expression was solemn, he looked at Zhang Sui and Ju Xiaoman and said: "This ship is missing a part now, without it, if you go to Nanzhiyuan, you will be blind in Nanzhiyuan, and it won't be long before you lose your way in Nanzhiyuan." ”

"My father once said, what is the most terrible thing in the sea? Level 6 and above monsters, hurricanes and disorientation! ”

"And now to set off, we are faced with one thing that would have met the most terrible thing without it."

Zhang Sui blurted out: "Compass? ”

"Compass?" Uncle Nian looked at Zhang Sui in surprise and said, "Have you ever been to sea?" ”

Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "I have often heard people say that the place marked by the compass always points to the north, which is a must for sailing at sea. ”

Uncle Nian nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's the same thing, but the name is different, I only heard my father say it, it's called a compass." And in our dynasty continent, it is said that the five kingdoms now only have three compasses. ”

"It's only three!" Zhang Sui couldn't believe his ears, in his original world, the compass was a very common thing.

Uncle Nian said: "There are only three, and one is rumored to be in the hands of the first martial god. ”

Zhang Sui was a little surprised, the first martial god had taken Leng Muning to Lingdao, if there was no compass, it should be impossible.

"One is in the Thousand Machines Sect, and it is enshrined in their ancestral temple."

"And the third one is in the general's mound, ninety miles east from here. In the general's grave, in the coffin of the tomb owner. ”

Uncle Nian looked into the distance and was silent.

Ah Xin said: "Brother Sui, then I'll go to the general's mound to get it for you." ”
