Chapter 2 Going to Sea with the United States
After leaving his homeland, Yeluyun wandered aimlessly in the mountains and forests, he had never descended the mountain, and the original path down the mountain was also covered by plants because no one had walked for a long time. So he carried a silver gun and a burden, and shuttled through the mountains and forests at will, looking for a way around, and the mountains and forests were far away, according to his imagination, fortunately, he lived in the mountains for a long time, and the hunting skills were grouped, so his life was not bad, but he was a little bored in his heart, worried about his mission.
After walking around the mountains for a long time, he finally chose to walk along the Luo River, so he saw the first city, Ningshan City.
From a distance, the city is not big, but there are many boats coming and going on the river, which seems to be very lively, Yeluyun felt very curious, and couldn't wait to rush into this small city.
Soon after Yeluyun entered the city, a gorgeous carriage rushed into the city from the city gate, and the canopy was sewn with dark green flannel, embroidered with a hundred birds and a phoenix, leading the cart with two good horses with snow-white bodies, and a coachman in his thirties sat in front of him, with a thick face and strong eyebrows, a cyan short coat, blue trousers, and a snow breaking treasure knife stuck in his back.
Beside the coachman, there is a pretty girl in a ring costume, pink skirt, jade arms, blue hairpins, silver locks, big eyes, small nose, two small dimples, particularly endearing, eye-catching.
"Has Xianyun arrived?" A jade hand lifted the curtain of the car, and then a soft voice was heard.
"Miss, we have entered Ningshan City, should we find the inn first, or go directly to find Young Master Shu?" The girl in the ring costume smiled and asked back.
"Let's find an inn first, maybe they haven't arrived yet."
Xian Yun heard a hint of shyness in his tone, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and giggle, and the person in the car said coquettishly: "There are no rules, I know that I shouldn't have brought you out." β
Xian Yunjiao smiled and asked the driver next to her, "Brother Li, what do you say?" β
The coachman just smiled and didn't answer, so angry that Xianyun twisted him and said, "You know how to protect Miss." β
The man in the car said again: "Li Wei, don't pay attention to her, this girl is getting more and more unruly, she always makes fun of me." β
The coachman Li Wei suddenly stopped the carriage and said, "It's here." β
Xianyun turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a rather large inn on the right, a circle of wooden fences on the outside, a stable on the left side of the wooden fence, and a two-story small building on the front, and several small buildings behind the small building, all of which were painted red, very conspicuous.
Xianyun looked up for a long time and nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect this kind of inn in this small city." Then he turned around and lifted the curtain and said to the person in the car: "Miss will live here." β?
The girl in the car looked at it and smiled: "This place is good, let's do it here." With that, he stepped out of the carriage.
As soon as she got off the car, she attracted countless eyes, first of all, the carriage she was sitting in was too gorgeous, so it attracted attention, and as soon as she appeared, she was suddenly full of light and shocked the spot.
The girl's head is combed with the bun of an unmarried girl, wearing various colors of pearl and jade ornaments, a purple jade hairpin is inserted in the bun, and a gold and silver double phoenix is held at the tail of the hairpin, which is lifelike, reflecting the colorful light in the sun. Looking down further, with a small nose on her snow-like pink face, her cherry lips are like blood, her eyebrows are like ink, her eyes are like ink, and her talking eyes are dark in the Qingming Autumn Waves, a cirrus green brocade dress wrapped in a delicate body, which has a unique flavor, and the floral white long skirt shows that she is delicate and dusty. The most surprising thing is that the girl is holding a multicolored spirit banner with many symbols written on it that people can't understand.
Xianyun glanced around, pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss, you have attracted everyone's attention again." β
"Nasty!" The girl looked around a little unhappily, her eyes turned around, and her charming state naturally appeared, causing all the onlookers to be stunned, and the autumn wave suddenly froze halfway, and then she smiled slightly, turned her head and said to Xianyun: "Not necessarily, right?" β
Xian Yun said proudly with a look of disbelief: "How can anyone not pay attention to Miss Yi's face, I don't believe unless he is blind." β
The girl chuckled and said, "Why don't we make a bet, if I win, you won't be allowed to speak today." β
Xian Yun said confidently: "If I win, I will learn the Nine Heavens Xuanling Soul Channel**." β
"Okay!" The girl's hand pointed forward and said, "Look there, that person didn't look at me from beginning to end." β
Xianyun followed the girl's fingers and looked at it, only to see a person sitting next to the wooden fence outside the inn, with his head down, he couldn't see clearly, from the figure was a young man, the man was carrying a burden on his shoulder, and he was holding a silver gun in his arms, although the clothes on his body were not too dirty, but they were very shabby, and many places were scratched, revealing his solid skin. This young man was none other than Jeruyun.
Xianyun snorted and said disdainfully: "It turns out that he is a beggar, and this kind of person can't be counted." β
"Ahh The girl suddenly caught a glimpse of Yeluyun's empty sleeves, and couldn't help but snort softly, and said with pity: "He also broke a hand, it's very pitiful, you will give him the ingot of silver." β
Xianyun was stunned, and reluctantly took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, walked in front of Yeluyun, threw the broken silver on the ground, and said lightly: "My young lady will buy you something to eat with the silver." After finishing speaking, he left and didn't want to stay for a moment, as if he would be stained with filth after standing beside Yeluyun for a long time.
Yeluyun was startled by the silver that was suddenly thrown in front of him, staring blankly at the silver for a moment before he reacted. He picked up the silver, looked up, and saw that the carriage had entered the inn, and the girl who gave the silver was helping another beautiful girl to the inn.
He hurriedly rushed up with his gun in his hand, shouting as he went, "Wait a minute. β
Xianyun heard Yeluyun's cry, thinking that he was too young, and glared back, and complained: "It's really greedy to give the silver and still want it, but I don't know how to do it." β
Yeluyun rushed to the front of the two girls, handed the silver to Xianyun, and said with a smile: "I'm not a beggar, don't give me the silver." β
Xianyun was stunned for a moment, looked Ye Luyun up and down again, in addition to the indecent clothes on his body, this man looked pretty good, especially the gentle smile on his face, which made it easy to have a good impression.
The girl was a little embarrassed and felt that it was very impolite for her to mistake others for beggars, Ying Ying Yifu apologized: "Please don't be surprised if you offend a strong man." β
Although Xianyun was a little embarrassed, he thought very highly of himself, and felt that even if this person was not a beggar, he was not a superior person, and he was a cripple, and there was always a little discrimination in his heart, and at this time, he saw that the young lady actually apologized to him, and he was a little unhappy, and muttered: "What are you doing when you have nothing to do, sitting on the side of the road and wearing tattered clothes, whoever sees you will think that you are a beggar." β
Yeluyun smiled disapprovingly: "I think things are going to get distracted, so I didn't pay attention to the surroundings and sat down." β
As the saying goes, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, Xianyun will not say anything when she sees him with a kind face, and urges: "Miss, let's go." β
Ye Luyun caught a glimpse of the spirit banner in the girl's hand, and felt very curious, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" β
The girl looked at the spirit flag in her hand and said with a smile: "This is the spirit flag." β
"What is a Spiritualist Banner?" Yeluyun was full of curiosity, staring at the spirit flag, and saw a strange symbol painted on it, and he didn't know what it was.
Xianyun was a little impatient, feeling that this man was also like other men, because he coveted Miss's beauty, so he deliberately led Miss to speak lightly: "We still have to live in the hotel, and we don't have time to accompany you." β
The girl glared at Xianyun and turned her head and asked, "Ask the name of the strong man." β
"My name is Jeruyun, what is your name? Where to? Yeluyun still maintained his friendly and direct personality, and he asked.
Xianyun glanced at Yeluyun and complained: "How can you know the name of the rude young lady." β
The girl smiled slightly: "It's nothing, people like us who walk around don't care about any etiquette and convenience." Little woman Zhuo Wenyan. β
Xianyun pushed Zhuo Wenyan into the inn and persuaded: "Miss, don't talk so much to strangers, who knows if he is a good person or a bad person." β
"Slim Cloud." Although Zhuo Wenyan was sneering, Xianyun didn't care about anything, and kept pushing Zhuo Wenyan into the inn.
"Inside, please." When the guy saw that the two of them were dressed beautifully, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
Yeluyun didn't care about Xianyun's words, and walked towards the inn, but was stopped by the guy at the inn: "You stop!"
Yeluyun tilted her head to look at him and asked, "Why?" β
The guy squinted his eyes and swept him, stretched out his palm, stretched out his hand in front of Yeluyun, and said contemptuously: "Do you have any money to live in the hotel?" β
Yeluyun had just come down from the mountain, how could he have any silver, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The guy sneered when he saw his expression, and was trying to drive him away. Suddenly, Yeluyun took out a snow-white fox skin from his baggage and asked, "Is this okay?" β?
Before the guy could answer, he heard Zhuo Wenyan exclaim softly: "What a beautiful white fox skin!" β
Xianyun is also a person who has seen the world, and when he saw this complete white fox skin, he knew that it was a good thing, and saw that Zhuo Wenyan liked it, so he rushed and said: "We want this white fox skin." β
When the guy saw Yeluyun take out such a good fox skin, his face immediately changed, and he smiled and said, "Guest officer, please inside." β
Yeluyun took the fox fur and walked to Xianyun and handed it to her, Zhuo Wenyan reached out and touched it, felt that it was slippery and soft, and asked very fondly: "How much silver does this cost." β
Yeluyun said: "Just give it." β
Xianyun took out fifty taels from his arms and said, "Just fifty taels!" β
Without saying a word, Yeluyun accepted the silver and said with a smile: "Thank you." β
Staying for one night is only one tael of silver, and when the man saw that he had fifty taels of silver, he was even more enthusiastic and asked with a smile: "Guest officer."
Do you want to eat or stay at a hotel? β?
Yeluyun is not familiar with the affairs of the human world, and he does not know much about the world, and he only learns some books that he has seen in the heavenly realm, so he has
A little silly when he saw the guy asking, he casually asked, "Oh? Is there anything to eat here? β?
Xianyun laughed and teased, "There is nothing to eat at the inn?" Could it be that the coffin shop has something to eat? β?
As soon as the guy looked at Ye Luyun's dress, he knew that he had never seen the world, and although he looked down on it in his heart, his face did not dare to show a trace
smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to eat, I'll let the kitchen do it." β?
Yeluyun took out fifty taels of silver and asked, "What can you buy with these?" β?
"The guest officer can book a good banquet on the table for ten taels, you have too many these."?
Yeluyun didn't know the market, pointed to the silver and said, "You look at it, I'm hungry, get something first." β
The man didn't dare to take an extra piece of silver and leave for two taels.
On the side, Zhuo Wenyan and Xianyun also sat down, and Xianyun kept looking at Yeluyun and whispered with a smile: "Miss, that person is really interesting." β
Zhuo Wenyan smiled and said, "You can't take a fancy to him, right?" β
Xianyun snorted and said, "Miss will also be bad and make fun of me." β
Zhuo Wenyan pinched Xianyun's pretty face and said with a smile: "Who is called you, my sister-in-law, find a good family to marry earlier, and I can have clean ears." β
Xianyun turned his face and puffed out his cheeks and pretended to be angry. Zhuo Wenyan smiled, knowing that this girl couldn't be idle, so she ignored her. Sure enough, Xianyun couldn't help but speak after a while: "Does Miss really want to go to sea?" I heard that the sea is extremely rough and dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to come back. β
Zhuo Wenyan said faintly: "It's the danger that I want to go, Brother Shu wrote that there is a nameless island overseas, there are treasures on the island, which are good for us to practice Taoism, and we can even find spiritual objects to refine magic weapons, I don't have to worry about him going alone, so I want to accompany him, besides, the soul flag in my hand is also a magic weapon, if he is in danger, I may be able to help him." β
Xian Yun grinned and said, "I think Miss is afraid that the young master of the Shu family will not return, right?" β
Zhuo Wenyan's face turned red and said, "You are not allowed to speak if you lost just now." β
Xianyun stuck out his tongue and grimaced, "I don't care if I don't let me speak, you might as well kill me." β
Ye Luyun was sitting on the side, stuffing food into his mouth, and when he heard the island that Zhuo Wenyan said, he felt something in his heart: "I went down the mountain to find such a mysterious island as the Phantom Spirit Vine and Immortal Jade, maybe there is a Phantom Spirit Vine and Immortal Jade, if only they could go together." Thinking of this, he stood up, walked to Zhuo Wenyan's table and asked, "Does the island you are talking about really exist?" β?
Xianyun said unhappily: "What's the matter with you?" Eat your food and don't eavesdrop on us. β
"Slim Cloud." Zhuo Wenyan glared at her and said to Yeluyun with a smile: "Should you have something to do?" β
Yeluyun said: "I'm also looking for something, but the world is too big, I don't know where to look for it, and I want to see what you say." β
Xianyun glanced at him and said, "Don't dream, we won't take you there." β
Yeluyun said: "I'm not going to grab anything from you, I'm just going to see it, I can also help you do things." β
Xianyun glanced at his broken arm and said disdainfully: "You only have one hand, you can't even row a boat, in case you fall into the sea, you have to bother us to save me, see you better go home." β
Yeluyun saw that Xianyun didn't believe in his ability, smiled slightly, and suddenly pulled his right foot back, and kicked the tail of the silver spear placed on the table, and when the silver spear flew into the air, he kicked his legs up, pulled up, and landed on the barrel of the gun like a feather, and then kicked lightly with his right foot at the tail of the gun, and the silver spear slid in the air under the force. And he smiled and stepped on the barrel of the gun, and slid along the way, and before the gun flew to a wooden pillar, he must have hooked his left foot and turned his right foot, and the tip of the spear trembled sharply, and a lifelike peach blossom was pierced on the wooden pillar in the store. Finally, he kicked the gun again, returning it to its original table, and he himself jumped back to the same place, and the whole process was smooth and smooth in one go.
Xianyun was stunned, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhuo Wenyan stroked her palms and snorted and said with a smile: "The strong man is a real person, and he can't imagine that he has such a ability." β
Yeluyun smiled and said, "I don't know if I am qualified to go to sea with you now?" I don't ask for anything, I just want to see it. β
Zhuo Wenyan hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't know if I can go to sea, and I have to ask Brother Shu, why don't you be like this, you will be my entourage for the time being, and Xianyun and I both practice Taoism, but if you can't do martial arts, what jackals, tigers and leopards may not be able to react, maybe it will be better to have you." β
Yeluyun smiled: "I am a hunter, and I have the best way to deal with wild beasts, and I hunted the white fox skin." β
Zhuo Wenyan said with a smile: "In this way, it's best to sit down and eat together, we also have a coachman named Li Wei, he is my family's servant, his martial arts are not bad, I am relieved to have you to protect me." β
Although Ye Luyun showed his strength, Xianyun still seemed a little unhappy and muttered, "Young Master Shu will not be happy, right?"
Zhuo Wenyan said with a smile: "Brother Shu is not this kind of person, eat quickly, after eating, let's go to the dock to see, Brother Shu said that he will get on the boat here." β
Li Wei got the carriage and returned to the inn, seeing that there was an extra one-armed person beside the young lady, he asked in surprise, "Miss, what's going on?" How could he be here. β
Zhuo Wenyan said: "He also wants to go to sea, I will leave him as an entourage, it will be better for the two of you to be together." β
Li Wei looked at Ye Luyun with a suspicious gaze, turned his head and said: "Miss, it's not that I can't tolerate people, it's just that Miss's safety is too important, I don't want a stranger to stay by Miss's side, and I don't have time to protect him." β
Zhuo Wenyan smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate him, his strength is not worse than yours, and he is a hunter, and his experience in the wild is stronger than yours, which is very important to us." No one has ever been to that island, and I don't know what will happen, and with his help, maybe the chances of survival will be better. β?
Although Li Wei didn't believe that Yeluyun's strength was stronger than him, he believed in Zhuo Wenyan's vision, and he also knew that survival in the wild was not better than usual, and what was needed was experience, so he didn't say much, just lightly admonished Yeluyun: " Little brother, it's not that I look down on you, I, Li Wei is not that kind of person, since Miss agreed, I can't object, but after all, you are missing a hand, and there are many things that you can't do, I hope you have the energy to do it, don't cause any trouble for me and Miss, of course, from now on, you are one of us, and we will not sit idly by and ignore it. β
Ye Luyun smiled: "Don't worry, if something happens, I will jump into the sea to feed the fish by myself, and you don't have to worry about it." β
Xianyun was amused by him and smiled: "You're quite interesting, and I'll see if you really jumped into the sea by yourself when the time comes." β
Yeluyun grinned and said, "If you want to see it now, I can jump for you to see, but you have to find a rope first, otherwise it will be washed away by the waves, and you will really have to feed the fish." β
Xianyun felt that Yeluyun was talking interestingly, and her disgust gradually faded, and she smiled: "When the time comes, I will take an axe and wait to cut the rope." β
Zhuo Wenyan was amused by the two of them and smiled: "You two are not bored when you get on the boat." β
Li Wei also laughed.
Yeluyun didn't have any friends in the human world, and at this time, he had three more companions, and his mood was even more cheerful.
After eating, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest, and Li Wei took Ye Luyun to his room and admonished: "Now that we are companions, I hope you can do your best." β
Ye Luyun said with a smile: "Brother Li has something to say, just tell me that I just came down from the mountain and have never seen anything wrong in the world, please ask Brother Li for more advice." β
Li Wei saw that his attitude was humble and very satisfied: "I'm just a subordinate, just like you, so you don't have to be so polite, but I have seen a lot of things, so if you have any questions, just look for me." I always felt a little inappropriate when I went to sea this time, but Miss insisted on going, and I had no choice but to try to protect Miss as much as possible. Therefore, you should pay attention to the rest of the matter, as long as the young lady returns to the big 6 safely, our task will be completed. Also, don't say anything, or ask too much along the way, this is the key to saving your life when you go out, don't forget. β
Ye Luyun smiled: "I'm not going to grab the baby, I just want to see it, don't worry, I will do my best to protect Miss." β
Li Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "In the future, we will work together as long as the young lady returns safely, I will help you ask the master for a reward, and you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life." β
Yeluyun grinned, he didn't care about any reward, as long as he could find the phantom vine and immortal jade, it would be a great joy, and he didn't care about anything else.
After resting for a while, the four of them came to Ningshan Wharf in a carriage, which is the junction of the upper and middle reaches of the river, where the river transport is very good, and there are naturally many boats coming and going, and the wharf is full of large and small boats, which is very lively.
"Isn't that the one, Miss?" Xianyun asked, pointing to a large multicolored boat next to the dock in the distance.
Zhuo Wenyan looked at it for a while and said, "Maybe, let's go and ask." β
Yeluyun had never seen such a big ship, and his eyes straightened, and he exclaimed, "What a big ship!" β
Xianyun quipped: "It's rare and weird, and the sea ships are much more than this, if you see the sea boats, it's strange if you don't be scared to death." β
Zhuo Wenyan glared at her and said, "Why do you always make fun of him." β
Xian Yun grinned and said, "Who told him that he didn't know what to say, and it was funny, and I couldn't help it." β
Li Wei smiled and said, "You two are really born together, and you are a cloud, and you are also a cloud." β
Xian Yun's face was red and his ears were red, and he said angrily: "Brother Li, why are you teasing me." β
Zhuo Wenyan pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really one thing to cure one thing, you don't have anything to say now, right?" β
Xianyun made a grimace at Zhuo Wenyan in protest, making the other three laugh again.
When the carriage came to the dock where the colorful boat was moored, a middle-aged man greeted him with a smile on his face: "But Miss Zhuo has arrived?" β
Li Wei arched his hand and said, "Exactly, who are you?" β
"Sun Haiming, the second housekeeper of the Shu family, accompanied Shu Gongzi out to take care of everything. Shu Gongzi said that Miss Zhuo would definitely come, and sure enough, he was not wrong. When I saw this car, I knew that it would be no one else except Miss Zhuo, so I dared to come up and ask. β
Zhuo Wenyan lifted the curtain and asked with a smile, "Where is Brother Shu, Steward Sun, now?" β
Sun Haiming saw Zhuo Wenyan's eyes brightened, and he secretly sighed and said: "It is worthy of being from the Zhuo family, and it is indeed a national color, and Tianxiang is very compatible with the young master." The smile on his face became thicker, and he bowed and said, "The young master is waiting on the boat, Miss, please come with me on the boat." β
"Xianyun and I got on the boat, Li Wei, since Brother Shu has arrived, we don't have to stay in the hotel, you and Yeluyun go back and move the things to the boat."
Yeluyun looked at the colorful boat curiously on the side, and couldn't help but think of the painting boat he encountered in the zenith and the heartstring singing, and his heart jumped violently.
Li Wei saw him looking at the boat in a daze, looking stupid, he felt funny, pushed him and said, "What are you doing?" Let's go, we're going back to carry our luggage. β
"Oh!" Yeluyun answered stupidly, and then sat into the carriage blankly, but his mind was still thinking about the song and the girl.
After packing their things, they returned to the dock again, and saw Sun Haiming and the two of them talking beside the colorful boat.
Li Wei walked up and arched his hand: "Steward Sun, our young lady's luggage has arrived, and I don't know where to send it." β
Sun Haiming said: "Miss Zhuo's room is on the second floor, I will ask someone to send it up, and the room of the two of you is on the lower floor." β
When the two were talking, Yeluyun squinted at the two people who were talking to Sun Haiming, and now their clothes were the same as the four demons they met in the heavenly realm, but the expressions on their faces were different, these two people were not like the four demons, their faces were full of evil spirits, and they also showed a gloomy smile from time to time, but there was a trace of indifference in their eyes, which made Yeluyun look at it a few more times. The two also looked at Yeluyun, and when they saw that he had a broken arm, they didn't care.
There are three decks under the boat, and there is one cabin, and the deck has two floors, like a small building, which is a river boat, so the bottom of the boat is relatively flat and it is more stable to walk.
When he got on the deck, he saw Zhuo Wenyan talking to a handsome young man on the bow of the boat, and Ye Luyun knew that this young man must be Zhuo Wenyan's eldest brother Shu and her fiancΓ©, so he only glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
Zhuo Wenyan heard the sound and turned around to see that it was Li Wei and Ye Luyun, and introduced with a smile: "Brother Shu, they are my entourage, Li Wei and Ye Luyun. β
Shu Yuping saw that Yeluyun only had one arm, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did you bring a crippled person?" It's not going to play this time, and I don't know how dangerous it is. β
Zhuo Wenyan was a little displeased and said lightly: "If I have the ability, I will bring it without asking what cripples." β
Shu Yuping sensed the displeasure in Zhuo Wenyan's words and smiled: "Sister, I don't look down on him, it's just that the sea is vast, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, and I'm sorry for him." β
Zhuo Wenyan smiled: "What are you afraid of, didn't you say that the picks this time are all good hands?" Besides, you and I are both Dao practitioners, and if we can't even solve this kind of small problem, our Dao skills will be in vain. β
Shu Yuping smiled: "I said, but I can't take responsibility for what happened to you." β
"Hmph, don't ask my people for help then." Zhuo Wenyan smiled and mocked her sweetheart.
Shu Yuping didn't mind, but joked: "Isn't your person my person, isn't he still helping his future uncle." β
Zhuo Wenyan glanced at him, but her face was infinitely sweet, and when she saw Shu Yu, she couldn't help but look at the shore and asked, "Do you have anyone else to wait for?" β
Shu Yuping nodded and said, "Of course, I can't go to sea this time, and I accidentally invited a lot of people to go." Xuanqing and Xuanming, the two Taoists, you have seen them, they are all Taoists who have been practicing for many years, and their strength is not below you, and there are three more than me, plus you, I am a total of seven, all of whom are cultivators. β
"Young Master Jade is drinking in the city." Sun Haiming's words interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Knowing that, Wen Yan and I will personally greet you." Shu Yuping led Zhuo Wenyan off the color boat.
Ye Luyun and Li Wei got their luggage and returned to the deck, Ye Luyun was very unaccustomed to getting on the boat for the first time, and always felt that all the internal organs were shaking. Li Wei saw that his face was not funny and smiled: "You haven't been on a boat, have you?" This is still on the river, if you go to the sea, the wind and waves will be even greater, and the suffering is still to come! β
Yeluyun smiled bitterly: "There's no way to practice first, maybe it's good to go to sea." β
Li Wei smiled and said: "Slowly, I got used to it, the first time I got on the boat, it was worse than you, and I wanted to vomit when the boat rocked, and you were just a little uncomfortable, and it will get better soon." β
Xianyun walked over and teased: "Don't come up if you don't have the ability, I'll have an axe ready." β
Ye Luyun knew that Xianyun was troublesome, and he also felt funny and grinned: "My sister won't be so patient, right?" β
Xianyun glared at him and said angrily, "Who is your sister?" β
Ye Luyun squeezed his eyes and smiled: "It's not a sister, it's a sister?" β
"Ignore you." Xianyun turned his back angrily.
Li Wei smiled: "You two are really living treasures, I'll go get some wine to drink." β
Xian Yun crossed his waist and pouted, "Who do you say is the living treasure?" β
"Of course it's you, pouting all day long, not what a living treasure is." After Yeluyun finished speaking, he jumped away with an arrow step, and he was so angry that he chased after him
I didn't let him go.
Li Wei shook his head and walked off the colorful boat alone.
There are many people on the wharf, so there are many hotels that specialize in greeting boatmen, and the merchants are very hot. Ye Luyun chased after Li Wei and said with a smile: "That Xianyun really loves to make trouble." β
Li Wei laughed and said: "Why don't you marry her, it's fun to make trouble all day long." β
"I don't want it!" Yeluyun's face turned red and said shyly: "By the way, is there any good wine here?" Since he was drunk with Guan Haoyue for a month, he fell in love with wine, and Guan Haoyue also gave him a wine talisman, although he didn't know how to use it, but it also aroused a strong interest.
Li Wei laughed and pulled Yeluyun into the nearest tavern.
When the two of them finished drinking and returned to the boat, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the ship's hall, and when he saw Li Wei, he pointed at him and shouted, "Get me two jars of good wine." β
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, Sun Haiming hurriedly walked to the middle-aged man's side, and said with a smile: "Daoist Yuxuan, he is Miss Zhuo's entourage, and he has something to tell me." β
"It turned out to be Miss Zhuo's entourage, why is there still a cripple, it's really insulting Miss Zhuo." Yu Xuanzi squinted his eyes and swept Li Wei and Ye Luyun, and then said impatiently, "Go and get the wine." β
Sun Haiming nodded and said, "If there is good wine on the ship, I will ask someone to get it." β
Tamako nodded arrogantly, and then walked into the ship's hall again.
Li Wei smiled bitterly: "Mr. Sun, he is also a guest invited by your son?" β
Sun Haiming said helplessly: "He just has this temper, but it's nothing, don't mind." β
Li Wei smiled: "Your brother has suffered, if you have anything to help, just say." β
Sun Haiming smiled bitterly and shook his head, and walked straight to the lower level.
Xianyun walked down from the ship's building and said coquettishly: "Okay, you leave me, don't drink until now, you must call me next time." β
Li Wei and Ye Luyun looked at each other and smiled and greeted each other.
Two more guests came up in the next two days, the first one was Kong Zhan, with a pointed face, big ears, thin eyebrows, and small eyes, and a smile on his face. The second is called Guo Yongzheng, who is very tall, and his face is always faint, and he can't see joy, anger and sorrow. In addition, the people invited by Xuanqing Xuanming and Yuxuanzi Shu Yuping, who had arrived, had arrived, and there were a total of seven people.
On the third day, after Sun Haiming had prepared fresh water and food, the ship set off for the reef city at the mouth of the river, preparing to change ships there and go to sea again. Except for Zhuo Wenyan's master and servant, no one had seen Yeluyun's strength, so no one paid attention to him, he was just an ordinary entourage. Yeluyun is also happy to be at ease, and his main problem is to adapt to the bumps in the ship, but fortunately, he is naturally adaptable, and he will soon be able to come and go freely on the ship.
He lived in a small room with Li Wei, and there was usually nothing to do, but he still ran around. Slowly, he appeared, the atmosphere on the ship was a little unusual, he didn't know if he was suspicious, but every time he saw the five people invited by Shu Yuping, he always felt that there seemed to be something between them.
Xuan Ming and Xuan Qing always like the two of them to hide in the room, go in and out together, eat and sleep together, and never separate. Yu Xuanzi is holding the drunken pot and always humming strange songs inexplicably. Kong Zhan always had a smile on his face, but it made Yeluyun feel uncomfortable. The most insipid is Guo Yongzheng, his daily life is very smooth, rarely speaks, at most just nods and greets, and likes to sit quietly on the bow of the boat and blow the wind. And Shu Yuping and Zhuo Wenyan are the most normal ones, talking and laughing together all day long, for them, it seems that going to sea is not to go to that mysterious island, but to buy more time together.
Although Yeluyun felt strange, he didn't think too much about it, after all, he had just come down the mountain, although he was vigilant, he had seen the heavenly realm, the ghost realm and other visions, and had a higher level of understanding than ordinary people, knowing that death was just a process of transformation of form, and unless the soul disappeared, it would still exist in a certain corner of a certain realm.
After ten days of traveling, the ship finally came to the mouth of the sea, and anchored at the last port before entering the sea, Jiaocheng, Shu Yuping had already arranged for a large sea ship to wait at the pier, all they did was to relocate and carry out the final replenishment. So Li Wei and Ye Luyun had a day to relax.
As soon as the boat arrived, Li Wei pulled Yeluyun ashore.
"This is how the city by the sea is." Yeluyun looked at everything in Reef City in amazement, and kept chattering, especially about the strange architecture and customs of the town.
Li Wei smiled: "It is rainy and stormy on the seaside, so there is a place to shelter from the rain in front of the house, which is a unique style of coastal towns. There is also a lot of seafood, so you can try it, and it tastes good. β
Yeluyun's eyes were like honey peaks staring at all the new things like honey, and his mouth kept admiring for a while, and he asked casually, "Where are we going?" β?
"This is it." Li Wei pointed to an iron shop on the left.
The blacksmith shop is quite large, occupying the area of two storefronts, and there is a clanging sound of ironwork from time to time, and the walls and the ground are full of all kinds of ironware, and there are two blacksmiths in the shop, a shopkeeper, and a young man who looks like an apprentice.
Yeluyun asked curiously, "Do you want to buy weapons?" β
Li Wei sighed: "Who knows what will come across on the island, it is better to have a few more weapons, lest you have to deal with unknown enemies with your bare hands." β
Ye Luyun nodded and said, "What Brother Li said is right, I also want to buy something to bring with me." β
Li Wei smiled: "Pick me up for whatever you want." With that, he walked towards the store.
The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile and asked, "What do you want to buy?" β
"Well, I'm going to see the weapon." Li Wei stared at the weapons placed around him, felt dissatisfied, shook his head, and asked, "Is that all?" β
"You come with me, there's something good inside." The shopkeeper smiled and introduced Li Wei into the warehouse.
Ye Luyun walked around the shop alone, picked up a small dagger, and said, "I have a gun, as long as I have some short weapons." Then he picked out two daggers, one in his waist, one in his baggage, and one hidden in his boots.
After purchasing things, Yeluyun saw that Li Wei hadn't finished choosing and felt a little bored and idle, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Guo Yongzheng passing by the store, so he walked out of the door curiously and took a look, only to see Guo Yongzheng hurriedly walking into a butcher shop diagonally opposite.
Ye Luyun felt very strange, there was enough food on the ship, Guo Yongzheng didn't need to go to the butcher shop to buy things, and he looked a little ghostly, as if he was going to do something unseemly, instigated by curiosity, he hid next to the door and looked.
After a while, I saw Guo Yongzheng walking out with a big burden, and after looking around cautiously, he hurriedly walked towards the dock with the burden in his hand.
Yeluyun flashed into the armory shop, waited for Guo Yongzheng to walk past the door, and then walked out of the store and looked in the direction of Guo Yongzheng's departure.
He was extremely surprised by Guo Yongzheng's behavior, and muttered in his heart: "What is there to buy in the butcher shop?" It can't be buying meat, right? And what is such a big burden that seems to contain a lot of things? β
"What are you looking at?" Li Wei patted Ye Luyun, Ye Luyun was startled, and was about to explain, but saw Li Wei smile strangely: "So you are looking at her." β
Yeluyun was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw Xianyun wandering back and forth on the street alone, passing by the door.
"Slim Cloud." Li Wei shouted.
Xianyun was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw that it was the two of them who rushed over with a smile and said, "Why do you want to buy weapons here?" β
Li Wei smiled: "You won't be here to find Xiaoyun, right?" β
Xian Yun snorted and said, "Hmph, how could I look for him, it's just that I saw Xuan Qing and Xuan Ming sneaking towards the city, so I followed them, who knew that if I wasn't careful, I would lose them." β
Yelu Yun suddenly said: "The guests invited by Brother Li and Master Shu seem to be very mysterious. β
Li Wei sighed: "I didn't expect you to show up, these five people are indeed a little weird, in fact, Miss also has questions, but Shu Gongzi said that their personalities are like this, there is nothing abnormal." β
"Oh!" Yeluyun nodded, but he still didn't understand it in his heart.
Xian Yunjiao smiled: "I'm going to buy rouge gouache, which of you will accompany me?" β
Li Wei smiled and pushed Yeluyun towards her and said, "Xiaoyun will accompany you to I still have to buy something." β
Yeluyun grinned and said, "She'll be suffocated by me." β
Xianyun punched him and said, "If you want to go, go quickly, don't be so wordy." Then he turned to the center of the city.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Take your time and don't rush back." β
Ye Luyun knew that Li Wei was making a joke and made a face at him, so he followed, he felt that although Xianyun talked a lot, it was also interesting, and it was better for two people to go shopping than alone.
The two played and wandered for a long time before walking back, passing by a brothel, and suddenly saw Yu Xuanzi coming out of it, still full of alcohol.
Xian Yun snorted: "I don't think the people invited by Master Shu are good people, this is even a good person who came to drink flower wine during the day, and Miss really shouldn't be on the boat." β
Yeluyun asked curiously, "What is a brothel?" β
Xianyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Yeluyun didn't understand what was funny and asked, "What are you laughing at?" β
Xian Yun's words came to her lips and swallowed again, she was ashamed to speak, and she didn't explain what the brothel was for a long time, and her pretty face turned red with anxiety. Yeluyun was even more curious when he saw her like this, and asked again and again, and finally Xianyun said unhappily: "That's where men have fun." β
"Oh!" Yeluyun nodded as if he understood, looked at the brothel again, and muttered, "It's good to be happy!" Why is he not a good person. β
"You...... You're so stupid that I'm so angry. Xianyun puffed out his cheeks and walked forward indignantly.
Yeluyun felt interesting when he saw her like this, and he didn't let her go, chased after her and kept asking, which made Xianyun so annoyed that he had to explain it with a red face. In fact, she didn't know it either, but she knew from others that the brothel was the dirtiest place, so she couldn't explain it clearly, so Yeluyun was still confused.
Back on the boat, Yeluyun immediately found Li Wei and asked, "What is a brothel?" β
Li Wei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why did you ask about this?" β
"I asked Xianyun, she couldn't tell."
"Ask Xianyun?" Li Wei was dumbfounded by him, then laughed more than once, stopped for a while, pointed at Ye Luyun who was looking at him stupidly, and said, "You actually went to ask a yellow flower girl what a brothel is, haha, laughed at me." β
"Today we saw that Yuyuko went to a brothel, so we talked about this topic."
"Jade Son? Going to a brothel? Li Wei immediately put away his smile, his face sank, he thought for a while, frowned, and said: "A cultivator goes to a brothel, it seems that this person has a bad character, and the young lady has a beautiful appearance, if he fights the young lady's idea, it will be terrible." β
Yeluyun didn't know about this kind of thing, so he could only nod his head and say yes.
Li Wei solemnly admonished: "Xiaoyun, we have to be more careful, if something happens to Miss Yu, you and I will die." β
Ye Luyun nodded, pondering the whole thing in his heart, and felt more and more that this trip to sea must have unexpected encounters.
