Fengyun Chapter 51: Tears in the Pearl of the Sea and Moon (3)
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these beads?" Mingzhu baby retracted into the placket and didn't want to see the two shark beads, Jing Qingli touched the awkward Mingzhu baby through the clothes, a little helpless.
The conch mask revealed a pair of eyes of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's positive color said: "Ten high-grade spirit stones for ordinary grades, one low-grade spirit essence or one hundred high-grade spirit stones for high grades." I don't know how much you need? What is the grade? ”
"At least ten high-grade and at least twenty ordinary grades."
The shopkeeper thought about it, was a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "Don't hide it from the nobles, the small shop only gets eight high-grade ones, and fifty ordinary grades, you see ......."
"A piece of high-grade spiritual essence can be knotted with more than ten strands of spiritual pith, in exchange for all the shark beads and high-grade supplies you said, how about it?"
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard the 'high-grade spiritual essence', but when he heard that he needed to reveal the source of the news, he hesitated, asked the guy to bring a pen and paper, and after he finished writing, he respectfully handed it to a few people opposite, and said: "The only thing that the small shop can reveal is this, and the villain's books are true." ”
The high-grade shark beads came from Yunmeng Island, and he received the goods at that time, passing through Yunmeng Island, and the people on the island sold him dozens of shark beads at a low price. Although he also doubted the origin of these shark beads, in the face of money, he had already dispelled that suspicion.
It seems that this time a new situation has emerged. Several people knew it in their hearts, and the pearl baby threw out a round spiritual essence and nested it in the clothes. Leaving a high-grade shark pearl, Jing Qingli gave the rest of the shark beads to Ye Yuanyuan, including the various medicinal materials and ores needed to unseal the pearl space before.
Ye Yuanyuan felt the cadres who were divided in the storage space and the pile of things collected, and he was excited and nervous.
After shopping around the black market again and buying a few small things, a few people went back to the alley, knocked on the stone wall, and were led back to their original room by Fang Xiaojiu.
--------
The sea breeze was howling, and Jing Qingli squinted in the wind.
Hundreds of grey and white seabirds swirled over the blue sea in front of them, and from time to time the seabirds swooped down and picked up small silver fish that were constantly struggling. The waves crashed against the hull and the deck shook slightly.
Mingxi walked behind her and looked down at Jing Qingli's black hair and the little ears that peeked between the strands. The sea breeze gently lifted her hair and swept it around Mingxi's neck, and the itch from the ends of her hair reached her heart.
The breathing of the person behind her spilled into her ears, and this extremely small sound accompanied by a warm breath enveloped her firmly, even more obvious than the lapping of the waves. Everything was shielded, as if the whole world was just her and the people behind him.
Jing Qingli wanted to end this strange atmosphere, but she didn't move.
"Everyone!" A deep voice rang out from not far away.
A man with a strong back stepped down from the lookout and used his spiritual power to spread his voice throughout the ship, ensuring that everyone could hear it. After the man had finished shouting, some of the crew and passengers went up to the deck, waiting for the captain's next words.
"Everyone-Yunmeng south is shallow, we have to go around to the east of Yunmeng, and after we get to Yunmeng, you can get off the boat and go to Yunmeng for a tour, or you can stay on the boat and set sail again in a day!"
The first to react after hearing the news were the shirtless crew members, who cheered in unison, looking forward to this rare resupply, but some people still whispered doubts: "Boss, can we go down too?" ”
It was a small boy with a thin build, looking about the same age as Yuanyuan. At this time, facing the gaze attracted by his question, the little face that had not yet been blackened by the ocean was a little red, he lowered his head, his fingers pinched the corners of his clothes, and he regretted it a little.
The man glanced at the little boy and laughed loudly: "What? I always say that I am homesick, and you are not happy to let you go back at this time? After the Chinese characters finished speaking, the rest of the crew also laughed, and the young man raised his head with a shy smile on his face, but there was still a hint of silence in his eyes.
The man waved his hand, and the crew members rushed back to pack their things like monkeys, and some relatives were running around the crew of Yunmeng Island while still talking about what they wanted to bring to their families. The young man stood there stunned for a moment, touched his neckline, and turned back to the cabin with heavy steps.
At this moment, Jing Qingli took a step to the side, her face had recovered, and she just wanted to say something, when a glutinous voice sounded in her ears: "Mother!" Mother! Look! ”
Jing Qingli subconsciously found the direction of Mingzhu's baby, but Mingxi also looked at the colorful beads that were floating as usual.
The beads were wrapped with extremely fine diamond wire, and the other end of the silk thread sank into the sea, and as the pearl continued to drift closer, the diamond wire was stretched very tightly, and the sea water around the end of the sea surface was also surging, as if something huge was struggling with the other end of the silk thread.
Jing Qingli got closer, and clearly saw that the black shadow under the sea surface became clearer and clearer. Mingzhu Baby snorted twice, sped up and rushed into the air, only to hear the sound of rolling waves, a big black fish broke out of the water, twisting his body desperately in the air. Its sharp teeth opened and closed, and the other end of the diamond wire was stuck between the upper teeth, and although the gold steel wire was slender and almost integrated with the sky, the black fish could not break free.
The sound of the big fish coming out of the water attracted many crew members and passengers, who looked at the big black fish struggling in mid-air with surprise on their faces, and for a while not many people noticed the extremely thin diamond wire and the small bead on the other end.
Jing Qingli frowned, wanting the pearl baby to hide from being discovered, the pearl had already thrown the big black fish over, fortunately, the deck was big enough, the black fish was about a zhang long, and it didn't hit anyone when it landed in the middle of the crowd. The children who were curious and screaming at the black fish were startled by the black fish that was suddenly thrown on the deck, and their laughter choked in their throats and hiccuped several times.
The black fish lay straight on the deck, its upper and lower jaws trembled slightly, the scales on its neck were scraped off by something, and a line of blood was imprinted on the white and tender flesh, slowly flowing blood. The diamond silk was taken back at some point, and the pearl baby slipped to the two mothers by taking advantage of the crowd commotion, with a small piece of diamond silk around her body, and a familiar transparent bead tied to the other end, which was still stained with blood.
The resentful soul that was originally wrapped around it was a little unstable at the moment, feeling the emotions of his mother, Mingzhu Baby Ma threw the shark beads back into the space to raise, and he got into the cuffs of his mother and refused to come out. Jing Qingli choked back, glared at Mingxi, who had a gentle face, and she sneered: "Look at what you are used to!" ”
"It's always a child's heart, don't worry about it, Qingli." The corners of Mingxi's mouth bent, and he raised his hand to pick up a strand of the long hair that fell from Jing Qing's sideburns to his waist and abdomen, and his tone was gentle.
Her heart trembled at the cry of 'Qingli', and her face burned, completely ignoring that a strand of her hair was still in his hand. Jing Qingli turned her head in embarrassment, and saw that the young man who was originally asking was staring straight at this side, to be precise, staring at Mingxi's cuffs.
The young man bit his lip, his eyes were full of joy and hesitation, he saw Jing Qingli look over, as if he had been caught by someone, turned around and ran back to the cabin, his back was indescribably sad.
Jing Qingli's face fluttered, she squinted at the young man's panicked back, and then turned her head to look at Ming Xi's cuffs thoughtfully, but she didn't suspect that Ming Xi had anything to do with that young man.
Hiding behind the kitchen door, the boy pulled out the neck rope that he had tied for many years, and a transparent bead hung from the light blue and dusty string. The boy leaned his back against the wall, his heart aching. He held the bead in both hands, as if the man had handed the necklace that night.
"Where the hell are you? Yuesang ......" The young man's soft muttering finally turned into a sigh.
On deck, the captain jumped down from the lookout and looked at the autumn-faced fish in amazement, for he had seen a bead hoisting the fish up, but then the bead was gone. Thinking that it should be some powerful spirit treasure on the ship, he swallowed greedily if he didn't come out to claim him.
"I wonder which one captures the prey?" The captain glanced at the autumn fish that was not yet dead, and poured his voice into spiritual power and sent it out. The captain is the cultivation of the peak of foundation building, most of the people in the boat are mortals, and a small number of monks except for Xiao Shaocheng Lord and Ye Yuanyuan who have each pressed the cultivation to show the foundation building Dacheng, and they are only in the Qi training period or the foundation building Xiaocheng.
Anyone who goes out will be a little disguised, the captain knew that there must be a monk on his ship this time who was far more cultivated than him, and wanted to ask again, only to hear a faint voice sounding around him: "I want to make a good fate, and you will wait for a share of food——"
The captain was overjoyed when he heard this, and beckoned a few of the still stunned crew members to start handling the big fish on the spot, and shouted: "Thank you! Everyone's dinner is in full swing! ”
The rest of the passengers squinted with laughter, and the women led the children away from the bloody scene, leaving a few men to help with it. A few daring children rushed to pick up the scales that had been scraped off, chasing and laughing all the way.
Xiao Junyu rolled his eyes at Jing Qingli, as soon as he heard that someone had caught a big fish, he thought about it, who knew that he was caught by Jing Qingli as soon as he turned a corner and asked to say that sentence.
At this time, I figured it out, and after learning that it was the fish that Mingzhu Baby pulled, Xiao Shaocheng Lord did not show the slightest surprise, but glanced at Jing Qingli with disdain, shook off her crooked sleeves and walked back to the cabin to stare at Ye Yuanyuan's drum refiner.
Mingxi laughed softly, and his face, which was originally like a mountain and warm jade, softened at this moment, and it was a little dazzling. Jing Qingli saw him smiling so happily for the first time, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed Mingxi's cheeks and pulled them to both sides. The delicate skin in her hand, and the soft touch made her can't help but squeeze the meat on Mingxi's face again, and a good smile made him puff into a little chick's mouth.
Jing Qingli looked at the changed Mingxi and smiled happily, and her eyes crashed into Mingxi's smiling eyes. Her shadow was reflected in those deep, focused eyes, and her subordinates couldn't help but relax. Mingxi took Jing Qingli's hands off his face and held them in the palm of his hand, Jing Qingli felt the slightly cool hands, and somehow felt that the temperature was a little scorching.
"Qingli ......," Ming Xi lowered his head and called softly.
