Chapter 236: The Pearl (Part I, Part I)
When the big ship spun violently on the surface of the sea, the people on it were already a little desperate. Although there is no shortage of strong people on this big ship, this is a deep sea area after all, and when encountering powerful heavenly beasts, as long as their ship sinks, even a heavenly king-level powerhouse will not be able to fly to land in one breath with his own cultivation.
However, after a period of violent spinning, and when their large ship had stabilized again, the giant tortoise's attack did not reappear.
What's going on? Isn't the big guy attacking anymore? Just when everyone was puzzled, all of a sudden, a cry for help came from their ears.
At the head of the big ship was an old man dressed in gray, who looked to be seventy or eighty years old. Previously, the protective shield of the celestial ship was maintained under his control. If it weren't for his existence, this big ship would have been doomed long ago.
Beside him, there were more than a dozen Heavenly Bead Masters standing, and suddenly heard the sound of a call for help, the gray-clothed old man waved his hand and said, "Go and have a look." ”
Immediately, someone went to the side of the ship, looked into the sea, and saw two figures looming in the water. It looks like it may not be able to hold it up at any time.
'Master of the old saying, there are two people in the sea, and they seem to be unable to hold on. The sailor hurried back.
The gray-clothed old man, known as the master of ancient sayings, frowned slightly, "Two people, how can there be humans in this deep sea? As he spoke, he led a kind of dzi master to the side of the boat and looked out into the sea.
Originally, he was still a little worried that he would meet an enemy in the sea, but when he saw Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er in the sea, some of the tension on his face disappeared.
This was because he could see at a glance the ages of Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er, and the cultivation of the Heavenly Bead Master was closely related to age. Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er both looked like they were only about twenty years old, even if they were Heavenly Bead Masters, how strong could they be? With a wave of his hand, someone immediately put the rope down and rescued Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er.
When Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er stood on the deck, their bodies couldn't help but shake, in the eyes of the people on the big ship, this was a sign of their weakness, especially when both of them urged the heavenly power to make their faces look paler. But in fact, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er were moved! Even though they were still on the boat, that down-to-earth feeling was too good for them.
Zhou Weiqing sat on the ground and said sincerely: "Finally saved, thank you, thank you." ”
The gray-clothed old man looked at the two suspiciously, and said, "Where did the two Xiǎo friends come from? How can they be in this deep sea?"
Zhou Weiqing had already discussed it with Shangguan Bing'er before, and when he heard this, he smiled bitterly without hesitation: "I and I also went out to the sea to hunt demonic beasts. It's just that our big ship doesn't encounter a dinosaur sea dragon.
Although it was only slightly touched by it, but the tailor's ship was finished, and after the mouth was finished, I and I have been floating in the sea, fortunately, we are both Dzi masters, and our bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, otherwise I am afraid that we would not have been able to hold on for a long time. Thank you for saving your life. ”
The gray-clothed old man's eyes moved, "You are also a Dzi Master?" At this time, only his god Sè was still relatively calm, and everyone around him heard Zhou Weiqing say the Dire Demon Sea Dragon, and their faces had already changed. You must know that the dinosaur sea dragon is a god-like existence in the sea, and encountering it is no different from encountering death.
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said, "Yes, I and I are both Heavenly Bead Masters, but our current Tianban consumption is a bit large." Can't prove it to you. If we can clear you and bring the judges back to the mainland, we will definitely pay back. ”
Zhou Weiqing said as he observed the person in front of him. The gray-clothed old man at the head looked ordinary, but his eyes were blazing, and his heavenly power was contained, and he was definitely a strong man with a heavenly king-level cultivation. No wonder they dared to go so deep into the sea, it turned out that there were powerhouses of this level.
In addition to the gray-clothed old man, there are five middle-aged people, all of whom are men, and their cultivation is not weak, at least they also have the realm of seven pearls. The remaining seven and eight Dzi masters are all young people, some male and some nv. They looked at Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er more curiously, but on the whole, these people were not hostile to them, and it seemed that their character was okay.
Of course, this is just a conclusion based on its appearance. He's watching people, and the people on these boats are watching them at the same time. The heartfelt feeling in Zhou Weiqing's eyes gradually weakened their vigilance.
Zhou Weiqing is not pretending, he is really feeling jī! Because he feels now, some people say that talking is so beautiful. After being lonely on the sea for so long, the feeling of seeing people again made him feel like he was going to cry. This is still the case when his jīng god is tough enough. If you change someone else, I'm afraid you won't be able to support it for even ten days.
The old man in gray walked slowly in front of Zhou Weiqing, stretched out a thin palm to Zhou Weiqing, Zhou Weiqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, and also stretched out a hand and handed it over, letting the old man in gray hold his wrist.
A strong heavenly force suddenly passed into Zhou Weiqing's body from the hands of the gray-clothed old man, Zhou Weiqing's body trembled slightly, and soon the feeling on his face became thicker.
Zhou Weiqing has the protection of holy power, coupled with the ring that Tang Xian gave him back then, it couldn't be easier to hide his strength. Not to mention a Heavenly King-level powerhouse, even if a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse is here, as long as it is under his deliberate cover-up, it is impossible to find out his true strength without using his hands.
The gray-clothed old man probed slightly, and his face was also a little surprised, "Xiǎo man, your cultivation is good! The future is limitless. Meeting is fate, since we have saved you, let's stay first. Come on, find a barn for their husband and wife. Give them another one more to eat, and then settle down. ”
"Yes. Immediately, a sailor came up, and Shangguan Bing'er and Zhou Weiqing, who were reluctant to stand up with bow leaders, supported each other, but had a little staggering footsteps, and walked towards the big boat.
It wasn't until their figures disappeared that a middle-aged man standing beside the old man asked in a low voice, 'Master, is there anything suspicious about them?'
Gu Yu shook his head and said, "That young man's cultivation is the righteous path exercises of Zhongzheng and peace, and his cultivation is not weak. And even if someone wants to deal with the old man, it is impossible to send someone to risk in this deep sea, it should be a coincidence, Wuzhu cultivation is just a thing, even if they have malicious intentions, they can't afford to make any trouble. This time, the shallow people were not very lucky, and they actually encountered something terrifying like the Xuanwu Demon Turtle. The previous harvest is still suspicious, so order the captain to return home. ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er naturally didn't know what kind of arrangements they had made, and when they entered the simple warehouse that had been arranged, they both couldn't help cheering and hugged each other tightly.
There is no doubt that they have approached the Xuantian Continent, and they have also met humans here, and the loneliness will definitely be far away from this. Relying on the disguise of his own strength, Zhou Weiqing believes that the other party will not pay too much attention to the two of them, as long as the two of them are honest, they will not bow their doubts. It was obviously much more comfortable to go to the Xuantian Continent on a big ship than to travel by themselves. Besides, even if the people on the ship were plotting against them, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er were not afraid.
Soon, someone brought food, and there was even hot fish soup, which made Zhou Weiqing feel a little more good about the people on this boat. After all, even if they pretended to be in trouble, they were saved.
The two of them lay on the chuáng in the barn and rested for a while, although the barn was simple, but at this moment, even looking at those simple woods, they had a sense of excitement from the heart. In many cases, only when you have lost can you know how to cherish it more.
The sky gradually darkened. Just when Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er were asleep, the cabin was knocked.
Zhou Weiqing got up and opened the cabin, only to see a young man he had seen during the day standing outside the mén and said to him: "Come with you, the master of the ancient language wants to see you." "This young man is not very polite, but he is not the kind that rejects people and thousands of miles away. Looking at Zhou Weiqing's gaze, it was more curious.
Zhou Weiqing hurriedly agreed politely, and Shangguan Bing'er had already gotten up when she heard the movement. The two of them simply cleaned themselves up and walked out of the cabin.
When the young man saw Shangguan Bing'er, who had changed into clean clothes and was simply dressed up, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he couldn't even move the steps under his feet for a while, but it was Zhou Weiqing who coughed and woke him up from his shock.
With a red face, the young man hurriedly lowered his head and led the way in front of him a little shyly. Zhou Weiqing smiled secretly in his heart, this must be a xiǎo virgin! Bing'er's beauty is probably the most heavenly to this kind of xiǎo virgin.
When Shangguan Bing'er followed Zhou Weiqing, she was already a desperate person, but she was still a little green at that time. With the passage of time, three years later, Shangguan Bing'er has completely become a real beauty, although the three Shangguan sisters have the same appearance, but their temperament is completely different. Shangguan Bing'er's gentle and delicate beauty is the easiest of the three sisters to suck the bow. At this time, she was wearing a water-green floor-length dress, without powder, more like an empty valley orchid, full of spiritual beauty. In the eyes of others, the only pity is that there is only Zhou Weiqing in her eyes, and she doesn't seem to see the young man's gaze just now.
Under the leadership of the young man, Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er walked into the interior of the heavenly ship.
This ship is really too big, with a length of more than 300 meters and a width of 80 Han Kai, which is extremely rare in the vast continent. Even if it is windy, it is difficult to make it shake in the slightest. It is quite stable in the sea, although the speed cannot be compared with the sea emperor shuttle, but it can only carry one or two people on it.
Entering the inner cabin of the big ship, led by the young man, they came all the way to a huge cabin.
In the cabin, there were several tables of banquets, but the styles of those dishes were a little novel to Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er, and they obviously did not belong to the vast continent.
The master of the ancient language sat at the head of the main table, and beside him was a middle-aged man with a resolute face who was about forty years old, this cloth man Zhou Weiqing had not seen during the day, but judging from his attire, it should be an important person on this ship, probably the captain or something.
There were three tables of banquets in total, except for those Dzi masters who had seen them during the day, the rest should also be important people on the ship.
Gu Yu beckoned to Zhou Weiqing and the others, signaling them to come to his table, Zhou Weiqing knew that the drama ròu was coming, and this person must be trying to clarify the origin of himself and Bing'er.
When he came in, his face was already full of feelings, and when it came to acting, Zhou Weiqing was definitely the number one on the vast continent.
Pulled Bing'er to the table of Guyu and bowed respectfully, "Master." ”
Gu Yu nodded to the two and motioned for them to sit down, and the two young people who sat in the first place under Gu Yu who had also appeared during the day looked at Shangguan Bing'er, although it was not possible to say that there was no evil to be done, but the strangeness was indispensable Shangguan Bing'er, who had changed his clothes at this time, was like an empty valley orchid, which made all the people on the entire big ship lose their eyes.
Shangguan Bing'er didn't seem to see those attentional eyes, she just lowered her head slightly, and leaned slightly in the direction of Zhou Weiqing, showing that she meant that Zhou Weiqing was in charge of everything.
Gu Yu's gaze swept over Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er successively, smiled slightly, and said: "I was in a hurry to save the two of you before, I don't know where you came from, can you tell me how you fell into trouble? After all, on this vast sea, the judge is responsible for the whole boat." ”
His words were very vague, but they also clearly expressed the meaning that they wanted to know the origin of Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er.
Zhou Weiqing nodded, and a touch of sadness flowed out of his eyes, not to mention these people in front of him, even Shangguan Bing'er, who knew that all this was pretended by him, was infected by this real sadness on him.
"The master and you saved our lives, of course, we have to tell us about the calendar. Humble Jing and I came from a Xiǎo family near the port of Ubato, and this time we went to sea to attach ourselves to a large ship. The family was broken, and only me and Humble Jing were left, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to hunt down this sea beast, obtain the Heavenly Core in exchange for some money, and buy some condensation scrolls for Cultivation and Humble Jing. Who has ever rested but encountered the overlord of the sea like the Dire Sea Dragon. We didn't even know what was going on, we just heard someone shout the name of the dinosaur sea dragon, and the next moment, our big ship was already shattered.
The referees were lucky, they were swept away by the sea and have been drifting on the sea. If it's a few days late, I'm afraid we'll die in the middle of the ocean. Oh, by the way, his name is Zhou Weiqing, Jing Shangguan Bing'er. This time we were able to get the rescue of the master and all of you, we are very grateful jī, the grace of saving lives, and we will report later. ”
Zhou Weiqing's words can definitely be described as sincere, which completely implies his identity as a victim, and at the same time, he and Shangguan Bing'er have made it clear.
As for the port of Ubaatar, it is the end point recorded in the sea map of the Sea Emperor Suo, Zhou Weiqing also knows such a place name of the Xuantian Continent, and it is obviously impossible for these people in front of him to suspect that they are from the vast continent, and with such a place name, it is enough for Ménghún to pass the customs.
Looking at Zhou Weiqing's bitter face, and listening to him tell all this, most people had a little sympathy on their faces, but the master of the ancient language did not move, and said lightly: "So, you are a casual cultivator? Being able to cultivate to the realm of five beads at this age doesn't seem to be too easy to "fire."
Zhou Weiqing sighed, as if he hadn't heard the suspicion in the other party's words, and said, "Although the family is broken, some cultivation techniques have not been lost. Master, look at this, you saved the lives of our husband and wife. If you are interested, I am willing to bring out the family exercises, which can be regarded as a part of the hearts of the husband and wife."
If everyone present was still suspicious of Zhou Weiqing and the others a moment ago, as soon as he said this, everyone could clearly feel his strong sincerity.
Whether it is in the Vast Continent or the Xuantian Continent, the ancestral exercises are the most precious to any Heavenly Bead Master, and since Zhou Weiqing expressed his willingness to bring out all the exercises, it is enough to prove his sincerity. Because everyone's exercises have their own characteristics, many things can be judged from them. Even this most precious thing has no reservations, which is equivalent to Zhou Weiqing has completely opened everything to himself.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Gu Yu's face suddenly softened a lot, waved his hand, and said, "When we have time, let's talk together." If you can cultivate to Wuzhu at such an age, you can be regarded as a material that can be made, and the old man is also willing to point out the big and second "fire."
Zhou Shiqing's words are beautiful, but this ancient master is not so easy to believe, since you want to dedicate the exercises, then I will see how your exercises are, and if you can make a person cultivate to the level of five beads in their twenties, this exercise is obviously not too bad.
The jiāo feng in the dark cannot be seen, but this jiāo feng is the most dangerous, and if one is not good, I am afraid that it will turn around immediately. Zhou Weiqing was able to behave so calmly because he had no ghost in his heart, he had no intention of harming this boatman, and with his cultivation, he was not afraid of what would happen if he turned his face. With the existence of the Sea Emperor Suo, they can easily land on the Xuantian Continent. It's just that if they can enter the Xuantian Continent through this big ship, they will also be able to have an official identity, and at the same time, they will be able to learn more about the situation of the Xuantian Continent, which will be of great benefit to the mission of this trip.
The diet on board is naturally mainly seafood, and a large ship like this one will only bring enough vegetables and fruits and a small amount of ròu food and grain with you when you go out to sea. The vast majority of food had to be obtained from the sea, which would guarantee them a long voyage in the sea.
However, it was such a dinner that was not a sumptuous dinner, and it was also eaten by Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er. Anyone who has eaten dry food for so long and has a hot bite to eat will feel extremely happy, which is a further proof of their experience of suffering in the sea.
After the meal, the master of the ancient language did not let Zhou Weiqing go, and directly invited him and Shangguan Bing'er to his cabin.
Compared with the one Zhou Weiqing and the others lived in, the cabin in the ancient language was much better. His cabin alone occupies all the space on the top floor of the big ship, not only has a spacious cabin, but even has a space for activities. Standing here, you can see the situation on the sea to the greatest extent.
Shangguan Bing'er was waiting outside, and Zhou Weiqing was taken into the cabin. And the two young men with strange faces before that were both disciples of the ancient language, and they also stayed outside at this time, trying to get close to Shangguan Bing'er. This is going to be replaced by Shangguan Su'er here, I'm afraid that any secrets they have will be revealed. Shangguan Bing'er didn't, no matter what the other party said, she just listened with a smile on her face, but rarely spoke. The two young men behaved even more, but they were also polite and did not have any excessive behavior.
In less than half an hour, the exclamation of the master of the ancient language suddenly came from the cabin, "This exercise of yours is simply used to commit suicide." You're so lucky that you've been able to cultivate to this level. What immortal magic skills, it's simply mortal divine skills!, fire
The room was opened, and Zhou Weiqing's face seemed to be a little helpless and walked out with the ancient language, but at this time, the ancient language, his face was full of shock, and his gaze was also very strange when he looked at Zhou Weiqing.
Shangguan Bing'er knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and she couldn't hold back a smile and lowered her head to stand beside Zhou Weiqing, and the two young men who looked at it according to their human appearance were jealous.
Gu Yu sighed and said, "Wei Qing, this kind of exercise of yours is really unheard of by the old man, and I can't give you any guidance." Go back to your cabin and rest. We have already started to return home. During this period before returning to the mainland, if you encounter any hostile situation, you and your husband and wife will have to contribute to the "fire."
Zhou Weiqing said respectfully: "This is as it should be" After the scene just now, they have obviously been recognized, and thus become a part of this big ship.
Next, of course, it was a very boring process for the original people on the ship, and occasionally beat some weak sea beasts to add to the harvest of the trip.
But for Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er, this kind of life is much more comfortable than what they had been on the Sea Emperor Shuttle before, they don't have to do anything, they can continue to move forward, and more importantly, on this big ship, they have a lot of understanding of the Xuantian Continent.
Zhou Weiqing is extremely adaptable to any environment, and he can easily get along with people, and by doing jiāo flows with people on the boat, he quickly gets useful information.
