Chapter 14 Across the Sea

The sea is wide and boundless, and a large ship is docked on the pier where the waves are constantly lapping, and the boats are full of people. This is a merchant ship that goes to Xiniu Hezhou, and it goes back and forth between Nanzhan Buzhou and Xiniu Hezhou to resell special products, and also carries people as a cargo ship. Just as the ship was full of cargo and was about to leave, a voice came from a distance: "Wait!"

A scholar in a green shirt came from a distance with a tightly wrapped little guy, the scholar had a beautiful eyebrow and a sword around his waist, and the little guy was short but a hairy face.

"Scholar, you didn't take the wrong boat, my boat is going to cross this ocean to the west!" The boss of the boat is a man in his forties, with a Chinese face that looks very honest, his skin is particularly dark because of the long-term sea breeze and sun, and the muscle lines on his body are obviously in stark contrast to the delicate scholar.

"The boatman, there is no mistake, our brother is going to the west to join his relatives! I wonder if the boatman can give us a ride!" said the scholar with a smile as he saluted.

"Even if you go to your relatives, I don't embarrass you, and I will take ten taels of silver per person on my ship as the fare, but when it comes to the ugly words, the blessings and misfortunes on this sea are unpredictable, if something happens and I die, I am not responsible!"

The scholar smiled and promised, and at the same time took out twenty taels of silver from his bag, and the sharp-eyed sailor saw that there was not much money in the thick bag, only a few books were neatly placed in it, and he couldn't help muttering: "What a poor scholar!"

The scholar seemed to hear this little muttering and smiled at the sailor, this scholar and the little guy were Lu Yu and the monkey, the two of them had been walking for more than half a month and finally caught the boat to Xiniu Hezhou, otherwise they would have to tie a raft to the west by themselves.

The two of them were led by the sailor to their cabin, which was not very large, with two small wooden beds and no other decorations.

"According to the captain of the boat, it will take another three months to get to Xiniu Hezhou, and we can only rest here during this time!" Lu Yu said as he sat on the small wooden bed and looked around at the monkey.

"Scholar, this ship is really beautiful, much more magnificent than the raft I went to sea, and this is worthy of the name of the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave!" said the monkey happily as he touched the cabin.

After Lu Yu got acquainted with the monkey, he found that this Monkey King was full of energy, just like a curious baby who kept asking all day long, and he didn't talk because he knew that once he talked, the monkey would definitely have to ask non-stop, but the monkey Tian** Man may be the pure heart of the Taoist Sutra, and then he opened his bag and took out a copy of the "Nanting Sutra" to read silently.

It's also strange to say, it's not that Lu Yu hasn't read this scripture before, and he hasn't felt any magic, but since he met the monkey, maybe he knew that he could get a glimpse of the way of immortality by virtue of the monkey's chance, or maybe he didn't have that kind of sincere fear after knowing that it was Journey to the West, Lu Yu felt that the whole world was different.

It seems that the originally vague world has become clear, and the mountains, rivers, plants and trees that have not been noticed before seem to have life, which makes people feel more intimate when they look at it, and when they read these Taoist scriptures again, they find that the charm is profound, although they are not involved in specific cultivation methods, but they also feel that the avenue of heaven and earth is in it.

After a period of time, Lu Yu lived in a simple house, reading in the cabin all day long, and the monkey was also diligent in learning the script of the human race after the initial excitement, just because he felt that illiteracy was indeed not the quality that an immortal should have, and he was going to be immortal The Monkey King would not be ashamed to say that he was illiterate.

Time passed gradually, and when they were halfway through, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and Lu Yu and the monkey hurriedly walked out of the cabin, finding that the black clouds outside covered the sun and the wind was raging, and they saw that a storm was coming.

On weekdays, the gentle and calm sea set off high waves and kept lapping against the hull, and the squeaking sound of the hull could be faintly heard, and the boat boss looked at the sky with a serious face, he knew that this would be a rare storm with many years of sailing experience.

"Lu boy, let's hurry to the cabin, the storm is coming!" As soon as the words fell, a thunder resounded in the sky, frightening the monkey and quickly hid in the cabin, because the heavenly thunder is the punishment of heaven and earth, especially for a person with a deep spirit like the monkey, he can even feel the extreme destruction from this thunder. This made the arrogant Monkey King secretly ruthless, secretly saying that he would one day face the thunder and not change his color.

Lu Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he looked at the back of the monkey running away, he really couldn't imagine that the monkey who was not afraid of the sky and the earth would also be afraid one day. He turned around and said: "Thank you Boss Chen for your kindness, as the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and Xiaosheng also wants to see how magnificent the storm on the sea is!"

The boss of the ship looked at Lu Yu in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this scholar was unusual, but he didn't say anything against it, he was still busy directing the sailors to put away the sails and protect the goods.

Lu Yu looked at the dark clouds in the sky, felt the stormy waves, his heart was calm and joyful, and his expression became more and more relaxed, and after a while, the torrential rain poured over the sea, and the thunder and wind seemed to play a wonderful symphony that belonged to nature, so that Lu Yu was fascinated, he closed his eyes but could still clearly feel the water flow at the bottom of the sea, the raindrops falling in the sky, and the water vapor hidden deep in the dark clouds, he wanted to embrace these water vapor but it seemed that there was always a barrier that could not be broken. However, Lu Yu now does not feel annoyed by this, maybe it is just that the opportunity has not arrived.

The storm came and went quickly, and after a while, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the thick dark clouds and shot straight into the boat, Lu Yu opened his arms and felt the magic of heaven and earth, and his heart was calm and healthy. A rainbow appeared from the sky, colorful and beautiful.

The sailors have also stopped their work, quietly enjoying this rare moment of peace, maybe this is the greatness of nature, he gave **** will also give you a sunny rainbow after the wind and rain stop.

Although Lu Yu did not cross that barrier this time, he faintly felt that the harvest at sea this time was enough for him to use for a lifetime, thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a bright smile and looked at the monkey in the cabin who had not yet shown his head and shouted: "The monkey is coming out to see the rainbow!"

At the same time, the Buddha of Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple is opening the altar to preach, it is really a heavenly flower, and the ground is surging golden lotus. Suddenly, he looked far to the east. When he looked down and saw his eldest disciple Jin Chanzi secretly dozing off among the monks, he couldn't help but show a meaningful smile. Many great supernatural beings also sensed the providence of the underworld at this moment, and some people couldn't help but sigh: "It's going to start!"
