Volume 3 The Rise of the Heroes of Middle-earth Chapter 151 Escaping from the storm and straying into the Sea of No Return
The sun is shining all over the land, and a new day is coming. And at sea, there was a bizarre scene. Above the blue sea, a black whirlpool kept moving. The vortex seemed to be moving very slowly, but it was actually moving at a rapid pace.
The black vortex is not small, but it is nothing compared to the whole sea. The whole vortex is like a drop of ink on a blue curtain, and if you don't look closely, you can't see its shape at all. Therefore, no matter how fast the vortex moves, it is difficult to see how fast it moves.
This black vortex is actually the storm encountered by the ship. The storm is in the endless sea, and it is not easy to see how powerful it is. Only those who are close to him in person can feel his powerful destructive power. Within a mile of the whirlpool, the wind was already howling. Further to the center, the wind is like a rain of swords and arrows. And amazingly, the center of the whirlpool is calm.
Under normal circumstances, the ship would be caught in the whirlpool. However, there are no absolutes, and there are exceptions to everything.
The black whirlpool had gone far in the sea, and a building ship miraculously rushed out of it. It may be a little reluctant to say that it is rushed out. It was more like it took a lot of effort to force itself out of the pull of the black vortex.
"We're out! We're out!"
"It's safe, it's safe!"
"I thought we wouldn't be able to get out......
"I knew it, I knew it. There are four condensation seniors who will definitely keep us safe!"
See the sun again, see the calm sea again. Whether it is a cultivator or a sailor, they are all excited at this time. Yun Yang had a smile on his face, and his smile was as bright as the sun. Ma Zhiyuan's unsmiling face also had a smile. This smile was like a powerful tonic, instantly diluting the tiredness on his face. The other two Qi Condensing Cultivators had a little fatigue on their faces, but they were also happy in their hearts.
The process of breaking out of the black cloud vortex was extremely bumpy, and everyone almost experienced the previous storm again. But what needs to be gotten rid of this time is the pulling force of the black cloud vortex. The two Qi Condensing Monks also showed their hands. Otherwise, with Yun Yang and Ma Zhiyuan alone, it would be really difficult to bring everyone out together.
In the process of rushing out of the black cloud vortex, a small episode occurred. This little episode is really surprising and surprising. At the moment before the ship rushed out of the black cloud vortex, the golden light on the mast suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and the mast almost couldn't withstand the tearing of the vortex and broke.
Thanks to Ma Zhiyuan's quick eyesight, he cast a spell again to protect the mast from breaking. But it was also because of this rapid spell casting that Ma Zhiyuan, who was already consumed too much, made it even worse, so that he had not fully recovered until now.
Yun Yang looked around, away from the black cloud whirlpool, the sea was calm and there was no risk. With a fist hug at the other two Qi Condensing Cultivators, Yun Yang walked a few steps quickly to Ma Zhiyuan.
"Senior Brother Ma, are you okay?"
Yun Yang stretched out his hand to help, but Ma Zhiyuan waved his hand. He took a deep breath and slowly put away the steaming aura above his head. slightly
After settling down, Ma Zhiyuan reluctantly spoke.
"There's nothing to do with us anymore, let's go back!"
Yun Yang nodded, and the two left side by side. It's just that Yun Yang is very close to Ma Zhiyuan, and he seems to be ready to support him at any time. The other two Qi Condensing Cultivators were not much better. Seeing Yun Yang and Ma Zhiyuan leaving, the two of them didn't stay long and left the deck one after another. It wasn't until all four Condensing Monks disappeared from the deck that all the Body Forging Monks reacted. As if they had a tacit understanding, they bowed in unison in the direction of the cabin.
Maybe the four Condensing Monks couldn't see their etiquette, maybe they could sense it, maybe they didn't take it to heart at all. But so what? After seeing the storm, they understood the horrors of nature. In that case, it would be difficult for them to survive. The four Qi Condensing Monks took action, which can be said to have saved their lives, and the benefactor who saved their lives should repay them. But they were only body forging cultivators, and the other party was a condensing qi cultivator, so they had nothing to repay at all. Only give a deep salute and don't forget the other party's rescue.
The cultivation world is a world where the weak eat the strong, and it is a stage for the strong. But no one said that the monks living in the spiritual world have no humanity and do not know how to be grateful. Maybe there were such beings at some point, but now at least they are sincere.
Boss Yang didn't think about it so much, and when he saw many cultivators doing this, he hurriedly followed suit, and took the remaining sailors with a deep salute. After thanking the four who had left, he saluted all the monks present again. It is also a force in the storm, and you can't favor one over the other. Thank you for this, and that one is no exception. Many monks received this ceremony, and then they went to take care of themselves. In the storm, they also made a lot of efforts. Only you know how much spiritual power you consume. Now they are also anxious to recover.
"The humane cultivation world is indifferent, and I think there are many untruths in this statement. If it weren't for these people today, we would all be buried in the sea."
Looking at the many cultivators who had left silently, a sailor shook his head and sighed.
"Yes......! , well, Immortal Master!"
The sailor originally wanted to talk about the man, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate, so he used the word immortal master instead.
"Yes, yes......"
The rest of the sailors also followed suit, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Boss Yang looked at the group of people with strange eyes, and finally couldn't stand it anymore after a long time.
"You bunnies know what a fart!"
Boss Yang scolded without hesitation, but then laughed out loud.
The sailors' voices were stunned, but then someone spoke.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean, I'm laughing at you stupid hats! What do you see and you praise cultivators?" Boss Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.
"They saved us, and they didn't have the slightest intention of coveting anything in return, aren't they worthy of our praise?"
A sailor couldn't get used to hearing this, and directly tilted his head to refute Boss Yang.
"What do you get in return?
An insignificant spirit stone, or your life?"
Boss Yang shouted at a few people, and then went to fumble for the cigarette pouch on his body. At this touch, I don't know when, the tobacco leaves in the cigarette pouch have already been wet with water. With a sigh, Boss Yang waved at all the sailors and motioned for them to come around.
The sailors opened their mouths, but did not refute. Boss Yang is right, they really have nothing to reciprocate. In other words, people don't look down on their returns. The sailors stepped forward unconsciously and reluctantly surrounded Boss Yang. Boss Yang sighed, and then continued to speak.
"What do you know? The lack of affection in the cultivation world is not something we said, but the evaluation of themselves in the cultivation world. This is not unreasonable, just take this one. The four Qi Condensation Cultivators didn't plan to show up at first. Later, he was recognized, and he had to show up. This can be seen from the expressions of two of them.
Besides, those forging monks, they can be regarded as sharing the hardships in the storm. But when they left, they didn't get acquainted with each other at all. Why? They're on the lookout for each other. What should we guard against? What we should guard against is that the other party suddenly attacks them and kills people and takes treasures. The monks only help because they are on the ship.
If the boat can't move forward, it's their time that will be delayed. They are helping for themselves, not for what you think. Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and in their eyes, we are like ants. ”
The sailors stopped talking, they felt that what Boss Yang said was right, but at the same time it was emotionally difficult to accept this fact. Seeing that some of the sailors were dazed, some suddenly realized, and some were expressionless, Boss Yang coughed heavily.
"Alright! Today, you will rot in your stomach. It's good to know for yourself, don't spread it to the outside world!"
The crowd of sailors was about to disperse, when suddenly a somewhat trembling voice sounded again.
"Boss, you...... Look at where we are now?"
Boss Yang was reminded by this and remembered what he should do as a top priority. Looking around at the surrounding sea, Boss Yang frowned deeply and hummed suspiciously.
"Go to the cabin and bring Luo Geng and the chart, go quickly!"
After a while, Luo Geng and the charts were all handed over to Boss Yang. Boss Yang rotated Luo Geng continuously, but each time he pointed in a different direction. After a few times, fine sweat oozed from Boss Yang's forehead. He took out the chart with trembling hands, and he didn't have any eyebrows after comparing it for a long time. The sea is vast and boundless. If there is no reference, where can the position be accurately determined?
Taking a deep breath, Boss Yang stabilized his mood. He put Luo Geng away and put the chart in his arms. With his back to everyone, the nervous and anxious expression on his face gradually disappeared. When the mood was completely calmed down, Boss Yang calmly explained to everyone.
"The sails were suspended, and the ship rested for a day. After a day, we move on. ”
The sailors were a little confused
, but did so anyway. The big ship lowered its sails and just went with the flow. After the storm, the passengers climbed onto the deck with the courage of three or two. As more and more people came up, the deck was also lively. Survive the storm safely, and people's hearts are happy. At this time, Boss Yang's heart was full of heaviness and he was not happy at all.
"Luo Geng is out of order, and he can't identify the direction. Sailing on the vast sea, not knowing the direction, is no different from sending you to death. Now, the only way to do this is to look forward to a sky full of stars at night, and to discern the direction through the North Star. ”
Surrendering one's life to heaven is not at all, and no one will be happy. The ship was out of sail for repairs, and the sailors were inspecting the hull of each other. Somehow, some rumors spread quickly among the crowd.
"Did you hear that, we seem to have been lost!"
"That's a big deal, there aren't many people who can survive in the sea of transkat, so we can't die on this sea!"
"Yes, I still have old mothers and young children to raise in my family, how can I be so unlucky......"
"Aren't there cultivators here, why don't they come out to help!"
All sorts of rumors are spreading. The three of them are tigers, and after a while, these rumors completely changed. The whole ship seemed to be about to meet the end of the world, and the emotions of the people were stirred. There are pessimistic and crying, there are angry shouts, there are compassionate, and there are gloating. All kinds of expressions, just to name a few.
Boss Yang surprisingly didn't care about this, he waited quietly. At last night fell, and the stars squeezed out of the darkness. Boss Yang found the North Star and clarified the direction. After taking out the chart and comparing it, he was instantly frightened.
At night, the sea becomes strange, colorful, like a broken dye vat. Boss Yang took a deep breath and slowly walked to the cabin. Some sailors wondered about Boss Yang's behavior, so they asked curiously.
Until now, Boss Yang has not hidden it anymore. It's just that the answer that came out of his mouth made the insider's heart full of coldness.
"There is no return to the sea, there is no return to the sea, once you enter it, it is difficult to return!"
