As a martial country, the Tianlan Empire has border wars almost every year, and in order to expand its territory, it often points the spear of war at the surrounding island lords. In addition to cross-sea warfare, this ability also brought great convenience to the merchants and travelers along the domestic seas.

Now.

In the endless blue sea, there is a fish-mouth sailboat sailing at a constant speed.

This is a passenger ship, and it is departing from the docks of the central provinces on its way to the northern provinces. The scale of the ship is large, with a high white sail pole as high as more than 20 meters, and the ship is covered with two floors of housing and carries a total of more than 400 passengers.

"Whew, it feels good to be able to speak. Muwen stood on the side of the railing and whispered to the blue sea.

"Actually, I think it's funny that you use writing instead of talking. Xia Nan next to him teased.

Charlene looked at Mu Wen and subconsciously leaned over to her sister's side, as if she was still a little afraid of Mu Wen's hideous appearance in the Kapo Mountain. Speaking of Mount Kapo, Muwen tried to ask the old man who was guarding the tomb when he was at the crimson tomb, but unfortunately the old man disappeared after closing the door.

His eyes fell on Charlene's arms, fluffy, Xiaobai was tired of playing earlier, and he was curling his tail and snoozing at this moment.

A sound of footsteps approached, and Mu Wen turned his head to see a big man with thick arms approaching him.

The man's name is Yang Da, the biggest feature is that he likes to wear a sailor's hat crookedly, he is the deputy on this ship, and on the way over, Mu Wen saw him carrying several bags with a little weight in his hand.

The thick smell of roasted black pepper wafted out of the bag.

"Here, the captain asked me to bring it. Yang Da smiled heartily.

Mu Wen took the bag, thanked him, and opened it to see that as expected, the bag was full of barbecued condiments octopus, and the two big dead eyes gave people goosebumps. This is not surprising, the captain is very enthusiastic and sends people to bring the grilled octopus every day, not for Mu Wen and others, but for Xiaobai.

It goes back to eight days ago.

Everyone left the Crimson Tomb and boarded the passenger ship that was about to go to the Central Province overnight, but fortunately, the wanted notice of Ping Yancheng had not yet been sent here, and the passenger ship was not hindered.

The first three days were uneventful, and on the evening of the fourth day there was a sudden storm.

In the wind and rain, there were several waves on the sea.

The passenger ship was blown around like a lonely leaf in the sea, which frightened the passengers into screaming, and the experienced captain had already issued an order for all the crew to fight, saying that he was unlucky to encounter the most unwilling underwater monster.

Sure enough, after the waves passed, several great white sharks and prismatic conch kings appeared in front of the boat.

Their bloody teeth are terrifying, they belong to sea monsters, and they all have five-star strength. The captain first ordered the people to throw down the food, but the sea monsters still didn't have enough to eat, and they grinned at the people on the passenger ship.

The crew is ready to fight to the death, and it is at this time that Xiaobai makes a gorgeous appearance.

Xiaobai was looking at the sea and was in a good mood, but after being disturbed by these sea monsters, he jumped on the board of the boat angrily, and said two immature "snorts" to the sea monsters.

Immediately, the sea monsters dispersed in horror, leaving the captain and the others dumbfounded in place and rubbed their eyes.

After that, the path of the passenger ship was unobstructed, and it never encountered the terrifying sea monsters again, and even when it crossed the rumored dangerous Triangle Gap, it was extremely calm.

The captain was furious, and since then he has offered Xiaobai as an ancestor.

In addition to exempting Mu Wen and his party, he also paid out of his own pocket to serve delicious food to Xiaobai every day.

It's just that Xiaobai likes to bite the claws of the octopus in so many delicacies, so the crew catches octopus every day, such as today's careful barbecue seasoning sent by deputy Yang Da for Xiaobai.

"Hmm. Xiaobai was awakened by the fragrance, and happily grabbed the octopus and nibbled on it.

Yang Da didn't leave in a hurry, leaned over and whispered in Mu Wen's ear: "Man, didn't you think about the captain's proposal last time?"

"I won't say yes. Mu Wen said.

"That's a pity. Yang Da shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the cabin with a look of pity.

Mu Wen glanced at his back, turned his eyes to look at Xiao Bai, and sneered in his heart: Just 8,000 gold coins want to buy Xiao Bai?

Picked up Xiaobai and carried his favorite grilled octopus back to his room.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the cry of "hey, hey, hey", and I was shaking through the walls.

After Mu Wen put down Xiaobai, he walked into the next door, only to see Wang Qidan running in a circle in place with a red face, and when he saw Mu Wen coming in, he accidentally confiscated his feet and hit the wall.

"Ahh

Wang Qidan greeted respectfully while bleeding from his nose: "Good master." ”

Mu Wen was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "How is the task assigned to you completed?"

"Boxers do push-ups in groups of fifty, and three sets are completed. Squatting on the upper and lower knees in groups of 30, a total of eight sets were also completed. There are also 100 laps in the room, and I have already run the sixty-second lap. ”

Wang Qidan scratched his head as he spoke, and replied seriously: "I have been exercising very hard, and I am not lazy at all." ”

"Although the qualifications are not good, the victory is good. Muwen nodded.

After receiving the compliment, Wang Qidan was secretly happy in his heart, he knew that he was a person with a few pounds and a few taels, and he only hoped that he would be satisfied if he could learn a trick and a half from Mu Wen. According to what Mu Wen said, he doesn't have the ability to cultivate the sword spirit now, so he has to slowly lay a good foundation for himself first. The so-called foundation is the three steps of a warrior: forging the body, quenching the bones, and strengthening the tendons.

Ordinary cultivators have been martial artists since they were young, and by the time they reach the age of development, they have basically become spiritual beings.

At a time like Wang Qidan, who is not too old to say big, but not too small, he has only started to practice at this time, which is much slower than his peers. If you want to complete the three realms of a martial artist, it will take three years and four years to say the least with his qualifications.

Mu Wen has not officially accepted the apprentice, and now he is still in the test days of Wang Qidan, but the master who faced Wang Qidan's mouth has acquiesced, and he can be regarded as half an apprentice. In this way, as an apprentice, his strength is not good, wouldn't he lose the face of Mu Wen as a master when he goes out.

"Hey, I'll give you a devil training when you get to the Northern Regions. Mu Wen stared for a while and said, "Do you have the confidence to survive when the time comes?"

Wang Qidan's face turned pale, and he replied stubbornly: "My mother is from the novel, people take a cheap name and shit luck is not easy to die, I will try not to disappoint the master." ”

"Good. ”

Mu Wen looked approving, wiped the ring, and after a burst of white light, a four-foot long sword appeared in his hand.
