Qi Xuansu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked out of the hall.

I saw a building ship break through the sea of clouds and slowly descend, its bow seemed to be a dragon's head, and the hull was shrouded in wisps of water vapor, and water droplets continued to roll down, and a hazy light rain fell under the ship.

It is as if a dragon is flying from the depths of the sea to the sea of clouds from the depths of the sea of clouds, and the wind and rain are prosperous everywhere it passes.

This is the flying boat.

The flying boat landed in the lake outside the temple, setting off layers of blue waves, and the water vapor was filled. Eventually, it floated on the surface of the lake like an ordinary building boat.

Qi Xuansu only felt that it was an eye-opener.

No wonder the harbor was built on top of a hill.

Once the boat had come to a complete stop, a long wooden staircase was lowered from the boat, with handrails on both sides, the bottom of which was connected to a gap in the embankment, so that the empty staircase would not wobble in the slightest.

Then a group of people walked down the stairs, most of them with lofty spirits and good status, did not stop here, and soon dispersed. A seven-rank Taoist priest finally walked down the stairs and said in a loud voice: "Please show your basket and jade plaques and board the ship in turn." ”

The people who had been waiting for a long time in the apse began to board the ship in turn, and after the seven-grade Taoist priest inspected the basket, he would return the urn to the person who boarded the ship, but he left the jade plaque and returned it to the female crown who was responsible for selling the ticket later.

Qi Xuansu followed the flow of people, inspected the coffin, and boarded the flying boat.

In fact, this is not the first time Qi Xuansu has gone to the ancestral court, but the last time he took the land route, it was very hard, and it was the first time to go to the ancestral court by flying boat.

The flying boat is in the style of a building boat, divided into three floors, like an inn. The first floor is an ordinary room, a single room, not a simple one, only one bedroom. The second floor is the upper room, which not only has a bedroom, but is also equipped with a small study, which is dedicated to the use of Taoist priests above the fourth grade.

As for the third level, it is the cardinal who controls the flying boat, and no one is allowed to enter it. The lower cabin is where the formation of the spacecraft can travel above the nine heavens, and it is also forbidden to trespass.

The three-story pavilion is connected by a staircase inside, and when the flying boat takes off, the doors of the three-story pavilion will be closed and no one can enter or exit, and the flying boat will also activate the formation to resist the fierce winds.

There is still a day left before the ship sets sail, and at this time the pavilion is not enclosed, and you can explore the deck at will.

Qi Xuansu walked around the deck, looked at the scenery, and then came to the inside of the pavilion, a corridor runs through the entire first floor, the corridor is a neatly arranged room, Qi Xuansu found his own room, there is only one bed and one table in it, you can meditate, you can also lie down and sleep. On the table, there are several Taoist classics, including 5,000 words from Taishang, as well as Nanhua Daojun's "Nanhua Sutra", as well as several volumes of "Taiping Guangji" for passengers to pass the time.

Qi Xuansu was ready to spend this time by meditating and practicing qi.

The cultivation methods of each vein inheritance are different, the qi refiner is to practice qi, the fang is to meditate, the martial artist is to boil the muscles and bones, and the scattered people are a hodgepodge, practicing qi can also be practiced, meditation is also available, as for the muscles and bones, such a bedroom can not stretch the legs and feet to practice boxing.

At this moment, a slightly obscene-looking man passed by Qi Xuansu's door, his eyes swept over, first stunned, and then stopped.

Qi Xuansu, who was about to close the door, noticed this strange man, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "This fellow Daoist...... Something? ”

The lewd man smiled lewdly and asked, "This fellow Taoist, is it a fortune teller?" ”

Qi Xuansu subconsciously thought that the person in front of him was a liar, but after thinking about it, this was a flying boat to the ancestral court, and the people who could take the flying boat were all Taoist priests with grades, which liar would come here to cheat?

Qi Xuansu prevaricated perfunctorily and said: "Be shy in the lower sac......"

The lewd man smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, you and I meet is fate, and I won't take a penny today." ”

Qi Xuansu heard this lewd man say this, so he had no choice but to invite him into his room.

The lewd man took out a piece of something similar to a handkerchief from his sleeve, shook it away vigorously, turned it into the size of a chessboard, and spread it on Qi Xuansu's bed.

Qi Xuansu remained silent and did not speak.

The lewd man looked Qi Xuansu up and down, and as soon as he spoke, he was full of emotion: "This fellow Daoist, you are not simple. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qi Xuansu pretended to be surprised.

The lewd man shook his head and said: "The so-called phase is born from the heart, and I just know a little bit of the art of face-to-face." ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "I don't know where you learned the Tao?" ”

The lewd man stroked his sparse beard and said in a deep voice: "How old is the foolish brother, he used to learn Taoism in Wanshou Chongyang Palace in his early years, and later became a small Taoist, and he was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to help the world and accumulate external skills. On the bank of the big river, the poor road once met Donghua Zhenren, Donghua Zhenren saw that I had a relationship with his old man, so he passed on me 'Taiwei Zhenshu', as long as I practiced constantly, I could see the will of heaven and check the earth's qi. ”

Speaking of this, the lewd man's face was full of regret, chagrin, helplessness, and amazement, and then said: "Helplessly, the foolish brother has a little bit of roots, and he can't cultivate this method." Fortunately, the foolish brother is still a blessed man, and when he traveled to Qizhou, he met Donghua Zhenren again, so he asked Donghua Zhenren for advice on 'Ziwei Doushu'. Fellow Daoist, are you accurate? ”

Donghua Zhenren is a strong person, ranking among the top 36 real people, and is very famous.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think of his casual nonsense "Donghua Zhenren greets the commander", so he couldn't help but smile and said: "It turns out that Brother Dao is a disciple of Donghua Zhenren, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. Haven't asked Brother Dao for his name? ”

The lewd man smiled slightly, tried his best to show a little popularity, and pretended to be an understatement: "Under the surname Pei, Pei Xiaolou is also." ”

"Brother Pei Dao." Qi Xuansu gave his hand again, "The younger brother's surname is Qi, and his double name is Xuansu." ”

Pei Xiaolou gently twisted a beard, looked Qi Xuansu up and down, and said, "Brother Qi's face is good, it's good to be ......."

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted Pei Xiaolou's words: "Pei Xiaolou, you embryo killer, and you are hiding here to show people's faces?" ”

Before Qi Xuansu could react, he saw a big hand grab Pei Xiaolou's back collar and lift him up directly.

A tall woman squeezed into the already crowded room, and said to Pei Xiaolou: "You don't pee and take pictures, just your natural miserable appearance, and show others your appearance?" Don't be afraid of misleading people's children! Why was the old lady blind in the first place, and she fell in love with such a good person! I've been with you for more than ten years, and I haven't enjoyed any blessings, so I'm sinful! ”

Qi Xuansu was intimidated by the momentum of this tall woman for a while, and he didn't dare to make a move.

Although Pei Xiaolou's figure is like a bamboo pole, he can lift it with one hand, which shows that the strength of this strong woman is no longer comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, when she opened her mouth, it shocked Qi Xuansu's ears to buzz, and she had the power of a lion's roar in Buddhism.

Pei Xiaolou was probably unable to wipe his face in front of outsiders, so he stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with my face?" If I don't endure hardship, how can I be happy? As the saying goes, if you have to endure hardship, you will become a master, according to my calculations, if you endure hardship for another ten years, it will be transferred. ”

"Ten years? Phew! The tall woman was furious, and slapped Pei Xiaolou's face with one palm.

But he never thought that Pei Xiaolou was extremely flexible, his body shrank, and he had slipped out, and there was only an empty robe left in the woman's hand. Immediately after that, Pei Xiaolou, who had broken off the golden cicada, lowered his body again and slipped out directly from the woman's side.

The woman became more and more angry, and immediately turned around to chase after her, and the two gradually drifted away, leaving only Qi Xuansu and the "iron mouth straight" cloth.

Qi Xuansu settled down, only feeling that he had opened his eyes too much in the past few days, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Qi Xuansu has indeed not seen too much of the world, but he is not a fledgling stunned young man, he has rich experience, and naturally knows that Pei Xiaolou and the tall woman are not ordinary people, but they are strangers with unique skills, whether they are real people who do not show their faces, play the world, or have a childlike nature, or have other plans, in short, it is better to stay away.

Pei Xiaolou and the tall woman were gone, which made Qi Xuansu feel a little more at ease, closed the door of the room, and began to concentrate on meditation.

The time of the day passed in a hurry, and when Qi Xuansu woke up from his meditation, the flying boat had already set sail, Qi Xuansu got up from the bed, looked out through the glass window, and saw only the vast sea of clouds and golden light.

There are also special formations on the windows, which can not only withstand the wind, but also the passengers in the building cannot open the windows, so they can only watch the scenery through the windows.

Only when he reaches the stage of heaven and man can he walk against the wind, so this is the first time Qi Xuansu has flown into the sky, and when he sees this scene outside the window, he will inevitably be excited, and he will not be able to return to his senses for a long time.

It wasn't until Qi Xuansu felt that he was a little hungry that he came back to his senses.

Only then did he remember that he had only had a breakfast at the contact point of the Qingping Society on July 13, and today was July 15, and he had not eaten water and rice for two days. It's no wonder that Qi Xuansu was negligent, it was the first time he had taken a flying boat, and he didn't know the rules here.

As for the flying boat, it will also provide some tea and wine to eat, but that is only available on the second floor, not on the first floor. Most of the other experienced passengers brought their own dry food, but Qi Xuansu did not prepare, and he did not learn the "grain opening technique", so he could only go hungry.

From Huainan Mansion to the Ancestral Garden, it takes a total of twelve hours, that is, one day and one night.

At first, Qi Xuansu was still quite interested in the scenery outside the window, but after a long time, it seemed that the endless white clouds became boring, and Qi Xuansu had to use meditation and qi practice to kill time.

At this moment, a Taoist with fluttering sleeves rode the clouds and fog, swept over the top of the flying boat, and went straight to the direction of the ancestral garden.
