After Zhang Daoling took Zhang Yuanyi to leave Wuyun Mountain, he hurriedly got on the road, and when they passed by Yingchuan County, they did not visit Yingchuan City, but went directly to Huawukou to take a transstate boat to Longwan Island. Zhang Yuanyi's early breakthrough caught Zhang Daoling off guard, although he was pressed back by Zhang Daoling, but the aura in Zhang Yuanyi's mansion has reached saturation and can be broken again at any time, Zhang Daoling has to spend a lot of time every night to help Zhang Yuanyi pressure the realm, but deliberately pressing the realm for a long time will do all kinds of harm and no benefit, so Zhang Daoling will be in such a hurry, and he won't even go to Zhou City, and the trouble he said at the beginning is like this.

Huawukou is the most prosperous ferry port in the south of Xuanling Kingdom, and the grass and trees ferry port in the north is called "the capital of flowers and plants", Huawukou communicates with the sea trade in the south and the outside world, especially the spice industry is very prosperous, and Huawukou is also famous. Huawukou not only has a large volume, but also the ferries are notoriously fast, even if it takes several months to go from the Xuanlin Kingdom to the ordinary ferry port in the north, the merchant ships at Huawukou only take a month. And the main reason for the speed is because the person in charge of Huawukou is the famous Blue and White Sect of Xuanling Kingdom, which has a long history, and this sect not only has a large sphere of influence but also has two monks in one sect, which is also the reason why he can become a bull ear in Huawukou. However, the Blue and White Sect did not rush to kill all the shares, but left forty percent for other small sects, other small sects were already weak, and they could only strive for perfection and continuously improve the speed of shipping in order to get more benefits, and the Blue and White Sect also used this to spur itself to compete with these small sects for speed. Born in sorrow and dying in peace, the big guy still understands this truth. But even if he gave up the Forty Percent Blue and White Sect, he still made a lot of money, and used the money for the cultivation of the disciples in the sect, so it has been showing a thriving momentum over the years, and there is a tendency to become a southern giant.

Because he was in a hurry this time, Zhang Daoling didn't hide it, and directly ordered the fastest boat with a generous shot, Zhang Yuanyi felt for the first time how great the master was, and the whole person was shining. But when he got on the boat, he didn't think so, the boat was indeed the fastest, but the room was the worst and cheapest.

This room belongs to the place near the warehouse where the debris is piled up, and it is full of dust, clutter, and most importantly, there is only one window, and the outside of the window is blocked by goods, I really don't know who designed the window, it is just too much.

Zhang Yuan's face was ugly, Zhang Daoling smiled awkwardly and said, "Just a moment, we are here to take a boat, not to stay at the inn." ”

Zhang Yuanyi sighed, forget it, who made his master a poor Taoist priest who was shy in his pocket, appoint it.

Because this room is really unbearable, Zhang Yuanyi is running outside except for sleeping.

This continent ship is not an ordinary continent ship, but a continent ship that leaps in the sky, and the continent ship takes the sea of clouds as the ocean and walks through the void. Zhang Yuanyi was the first to take this kind of ship, and when the ship took off, he thought that the master had cast a spell again, and then he thought about it and said that the eight heavens could move mountains and seas, and it shouldn't be difficult to make a big ship fly, so he didn't care. Since Zhang Yuanyi went to the mysterious world of his master, he was rarely frightened by other things.

This night was full of stars, obviously already on the clouds, but there were still flowing clouds, wisps of wisps, like a woman's skirt ribbon, slowly floating, dancing.

At first, Zhang Yuanyi was also curious about why there was still a layer of clouds on the clouds, until Zhang Daoling explained the mystery to him.

The heavens of the Seven Star Continent have nine layers, one is the moon sky, the second star is the moon, the third is the white star, the fourth day, the fifth is the glow, the six-year-old star, the seven town stars, the eight stars, and the nine left-handed heavens. So there is a saying, "When the moon falls on three trees, the sun reflects the nine heavens."

Generally, interstate merchant ships can only fly in the moon and sky layer, while monks are required to fly in the stars, of course, these are limited to ordinary monks, those who have not yet entered the cloud realm, but the sword flies. Once you enter the Soaring Cloud Realm, except for the Upper Triple Heaven, you still can't enter, and other places come and go freely. As for the upper three heavens, they correspond to the upper three realms, one realm and one heavy heaven. Therefore, there is a saying that cultivation is like ascending to the sky.

Zhang Yuan leaned against the railing, looking at the scenery in the distance, the scenery in the world. Occasionally, one or two clouds drift by and reach out to grab it, of course, it is wishful thinking and to no avail. But Zhang Yuanyi just keeps repeating and never gets tired of it.

Zhang Daoling kept standing by and watched Zhang Yuanyi play with Liuyun, silent. Zhang Yuan's mansion has reached the point of collapse, and if there is another situation like the female ghost Lin Jingwan, it will inevitably collapse and rise to the first glimpse in one go. So Zhang Daoling thought about it, if that situation really came to that time, then he would personally take Zhang Yuanyi to Longwan Island, at this time it was not as simple as flying in the sky, where he was going was a matter of a few steps. With Zhang Yuanyi's current physique, he may be in a coma for several months after experiencing this, but fortunately, it is not necessary.

The bow of the boat was lively, Zhang Yuanyi was attracted to the bow of the boat, there was a helm in the bow, a sail flag, and there were more than a dozen people on the bow.

At this time, there was a gray-robed middle-aged man holding a compass in one hand, raising his head and closing his eyes, secretly pinching the trick behind the back of the other, and reciting a mantra in his mouth. Then he opened his eyes again, and there was a look in his eyes.

Zhang Yuanyi was very puzzled and asked, "Master, what is he doing?"

Zhang Daoling replied: "He is the boat master, who is responsible for showing us the way and discerning the direction." ”

Zhang Daoling chatted with Zhang Yuanyi about the way here, "The boat master knows geography, stargazing at night, watching the sun during the day, and watching the compass when it is cloudy." Boundless, the sky and water are the same color, boats come and go, but the compass is the rule. Day and night, the slightest difference, life and death are the matter. ”

Zhang Yuanyi was a little surprised that the boat master was so important and played such an important role.

Zhang Daoling continued: "Some highly skilled boat masters can even lead the army to fight and play an irreplaceable role in the army. In the upper boat, the master is not called the boat master, but the life master, because it can already rely on observing the heavenly phenomena to deduce the heavenly opportunities. ”

Zhang Yuanyi suddenly thought of the Taoist priest in Cangwu City and said, "Is that the same as a fortune teller?"

Zhang Daoling's face was kind, he didn't know where to take out a cup of tea, and took a sip, the female ghost's tea was really good, "If you want to talk about the big categories, they are all physiognomy, proficient in divination, Kanyu, numerology, physiognomy, dream hunting, auspiciousness, etc." But there is still a big difference in subdivision, fortune telling is proficient in physiognomy, eight characters, word measurement, divination, are some reasoning blessings and misfortunes, predicting good fortune and evil, with the way of birth. The so-called physiognomy is a method of observing the appearance of people or places in order to predict good luck and evil. The so-called "phase" generally includes five types: seal phase, name phase, person phase, house phase, tomb phase, etc., which is a kind of divination to observe the image existing in the phenomenal world. Bazi, also known as Bazi fortune-telling or birth Bazi fortune-telling, is a method of fortune-telling. Word measurement is also called "split words" and "phase words". A method of divination in which the dot paintings of Chinese characters are dismantled or merged, and their meanings are appended to speculate on good fortune and evil. Divination is used for tortoise shells, yarrow, etc., and copper coins, tooth cards, etc. are used to infer good fortune and bad luck. These are all things that fortune tellers have to master. The fortune master is to master the four categories of astrology, the art of war, the calendar, and divination. Astrology predicts things in the world by observing and interpreting the position of the sun, moon, and stars and their changes, the art of war is to arrange troops, and the calendar is the law of making a calendar according to the celestial phenomena, and divination is the same, but the divination object is different. ”

Zhang Yuanyi listened carefully and tried to sort out these relationships in his heart, and gently repeated Zhang Daoling's explanation in his mouth. But I always feel that there is a big classification and I can't figure it out.

Zhang Daoling looked at Zhang Yuan's frowning as he pondered the question, and after a while, he said: "In short, fortune tellers reason numerology and make suggestions by looking at people, and fortune tellers naturally reason about numerology and formulate laws and regulations that meet the requirements by looking at all things. ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, his brows unfurled, but in a blink of an eye, he asked, "Then who is more powerful?"

Zhang Daoling smiled slightly, young is like this, he always likes to ask about the superior, the ferocity is too heavy, "Where do you come from so many must be superior, each line has its own way, just be proficient, just like this boat master, as long as his functions are foolproof and leaky, that's it." ”

Zhang Daoling pointed to the boatmaster at the helm and gave a thumbs up.

The same similar words, Zhang Daoling also said in front of the female ghost Lin Jingwan, and Zhang Yuanyi silently wrote it down in his heart.

The boat master has a very good ear and has been silently listening to Zhang Daoling's explanation, at the beginning it was also in the rules and regulations are recorded in some books, he is a scholar to read and memorize articles, but the more he hears the back, the more he feels that the man who looks like a scholar in a green shirt is not an ordinary person, first of all, he has a relationship with the boat master and the fortune teller, and then the differences and commonalities with the fortune teller, these are not recorded in the book, they are all to be figured out by themselves, and today's readers are all famous, and there are a few people who can calm down and study these! Of course, what made him feel good or in awe the most was the scholar's evaluation of the superior. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, and many people nowadays have no one in their eyes, don't they just feel that they feel superior to others, and those who do miscellaneous work look down on those who pick up dung, those who do business, those who are in charge of business, and those who are one product look down on those who are second, and so on.

Zhou Shi decided in his heart that he must get to know this person well, he put the compass into the Qiankun bag, walked forward, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Zhou Shi Takagi, I just didn't hear Mr.'s high opinion, and I was respectful, and I dare to ask this gentleman's honorable name?"

Zhang Daoling said softly: "Where do you dare to be the name of Mr., under the surname Zhang Daoling, just call me Zhang Sheng." ”

The word "sir" is indeed a very high-standard honorific title for Confucian scholars, and generally only old and respected people can be called sir. Zhang Yuan remembered that Zhang Shi was called Mr. in the town, and then shook his head, thinking about what he was doing, it was boring to talk to himself.

The boat master Gao Mu insisted on his opinion, and still called him Mr., Zhang Daoling couldn't help it, so he let him go, "Mr. Zhang wants to study physiognomy very deeply." ”

Physiognomy is a general term for deducing a technique.

Zhang Daoling said with a smile: "That is, I am lucky to have read a few books, and I will know some fur, so as not to laugh and be generous." ”

When the boat master heard this, he thought to himself, he was really a successful scholar, he spoke without leaking, and he didn't make people feel aggressive if he saved enough face, compared to those high-spirited young people, it was really like a spring breeze.

He stretched out his right hand and said, "Please Mr. Zhang follow me to the front to take a look, the junior just has some doubts and wants to ask for advice." ”

Obviously, in terms of appearance, his age is significantly higher than Zhang Daoling, but he calls himself a junior, which is indeed very respectful.

Zhang Yuanyi inexplicably thought of a sentence he saw in the master's book, "The witch doctor and musician are not ashamed of the teacher...... The family of scholars and doctors is not as wise as now."

Zhang Daoling accepted the invitation and walked forward.

Takagi pointed to the purple microstar in the sky and said: "I have been sailing for many years, I have never seen such a celestial phenomenon, the distance between the purple microstar and the Tianshu star was originally five times that of the Tianshu star and the Tianxuan star, but now it is only four times as much, what kind of celestial phenomenon is this?"

Zhang Daoling raised his eyes and saw that this was indeed the case, in fact, Zhang Daoling had already noticed these changes, not only Ziweixing but also the auxiliary star, the star of the Tianzun Jade Emperor, Bi Xing, Taichang True Star. The two hidden stars are also moving closer to the Big Dipper. It's just that the two hidden stars are invisible to the naked eye, and their trajectories can only be calculated by deduction. Because the other party is just an ordinary boat master, it is inconvenient for Zhang Daoling to say more than that, otherwise this boat master is not just a matter of death, once anything involves the general trend of the world, any dust that falls is a disaster for ordinary people.

Zhang Daoling pointed to Zi Weixing and said what could be said here, "If you look here, you will find that not only the distance, but also its direction is changing, slightly offset, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see it." ”

Takagi looked at it for a while, shook his head, and took out a ruler the size of a finger from the Qiankun bag, Takagi grabbed the end of the ruler connected together, and opened it from the other end, the arc was very small, Takagi was shocked, and said: "Mr. has good eyesight, there is indeed a small deviation." ”

After a while, Takagi looked panicked and sweating profusely. Zi Weixing is not only moving but also deflecting the direction, if this is the case, then how can he, the boat master, lead the way and how to steer, you must know that the sentence "the slightest difference, life and death are the matter" is not nonsense, if they are the boat masters who are a little careless, there is a mistake, it is really pushing people into the ghost gate.

Takagi was a little scared, if this is the case, he is not a guide, it is good that there is no accident, if something happens, it is a big sinner who harms people, but who dares to gamble on human life, he is not the outlaw who does the murder and overkill, he just wants to lead the way, so many years have never made a mistake in order to see that the guest is safe all the way, safe and sound, if something happens, then he would rather not be a boatmaster, so as not to have an uneasy conscience and suffer to live. Even though he loved this profession deeply, it may be that he really needs to leave this position. Thinking of this, Takagi felt sad and his expression darkened.

Zhang Daoling knew what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother, don't be sad. Isn't there a compass? ”

Gao Mu understood Zhang Daoling's kindness, shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know, this compass also follows Zi Weixing, and now that Zi Weixing moves, this compass also begins to move." ”

Zhang Daoling stretched out his hand and said, "Can you borrow it and take a look at it." ”

Gao Mu did not hesitate, took out the compass and handed it to Zhang Daoling, this kind of compass can be bought anywhere, there is no need to hide it.

Zhang Daoling took the compass, the compass is made of ordinary fine iron, the whole body is copper, in turn, there are a few small words in the seal below, "when the wind and rain are bright, only this plate is used", it is indeed a compass that can be seen everywhere under the mountain.

Zhang Daoling studied it repeatedly for a while and said: "If the elder brother can trust it, this plate will be lent to the next night, and it will still be returned here at noon tomorrow." ”

Takagi didn't think anything about it, so he agreed.

After returning to the room, Zhang Yuan saw Zhang Daoling dismantling the compass and dismantling it to pieces, Zhang Yuan looked stupid and said, "Master, you?"

Zhang Daoling ignored Zhang Yuanyi and began to reassemble it again. Zhang Yuanyi hurriedly began to pack his things, clothes, pants, and even a few pairs of straw sandals.

"What are you doing?" asked Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Yuanyi didn't stop to continue to pack up his things, and said: "I'm afraid that the master won't be able to repair this compass, and the two of us will be driven off the boat and won't have time to pack up our things." ”

Zhang Daoling smiled, and glanced at these compass parts again, all the parts flew into the sky around him, and for a while, like the stars and the moon, Zhang Daoling quickly swiped his fingers, and these parts flew back and forth in an orderly manner like small meteors, and after a while, a complete compass was assembled.

As soon as Zhang Yuan saw this situation, he hurriedly put down the things he was packing, ran over to beat Zhang Daoling's waist and knocked his back, and said something in his mouth: "Master, I know how a small compass can stump you? Who is my master, even if this ship is broken into slag, it can be repaired immediately." ”

may be for Zhang Daoling to believe, Zhang Yuanyi also beat his chest with his hand, which shook the sky!

Zhang Daoling smiled lightly and said: "You don't know who to learn from this sycophant kung fu, okay, if you have this kung fu, you should practice." ”

Many times, Zhang Yuan has a hippie smile, but as soon as he talks about practice, he will immediately turn off the fire, and practicing or something will always be his pain. He didn't understand that he had the feeling of breaking through the realm last time he faced the attack of the female ghost Lin Jingwan, but why he woke up after being unconscious. Zhang Yuanyi fell asleep with a depressed heart, alas, he was really melancholy.

The next day, after making an appointment, Zhang Daoling took Zhang Yuanyi to the appointment.

Zhang Yuanyi, who was far away, saw that the boatman Takagi was waiting there, and it seemed that he was still very concerned about this matter.

When Gao Mu saw Zhang Daoling, he immediately walked up and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you gain?"

Zhang Daoling took out the compass and handed it to Takagi, saying, "Look at how it is now." ”

Takagi took the compass and took out another compass, and a careful comparison between the two found that the needles of the two were indeed different, and the orientation map of the chassis had also been slightly changed, the pointing of this needle was slightly to the left than the original needle, and the scale between Qiannan and Xunnan was a little denser.

It's noon now, and the boatmaster doesn't need to look at the celestial phenomena as long as he looks at the sundial, Takagi took the compass to the sundial to compare, and found that the old compass has obviously deviated greatly, but the new compass is actually not bad at all.

Takagi said with a happy face, "How did Mr. Zhang do it?

Zhang Daoling smiled slightly, "I saw that the purple microstar was moving eastward yesterday, so I adjusted the disc needle slightly to the west, and considering that the difference between Qiannan and Xunnan would be affected by the deflection of the stars, I also changed the scale between the two." ”

Although Zhang Daoling said it lightly, Takagi knew that it was definitely not easy to dare to modify the compass without any difference, not to mention those hundreds of parts, just the scale of those thin hairs is not something that ordinary people can handle, and Takagi thinks he can't do it. There are only a few people who can do it in the whole Huawukou, and the compasses on the market are all made by imitating those master disks.

Takagi listened with admiration and said, "Sir is really a man of God, can you teach me this method of improvement, I will definitely have a retribution." ”

Takagi thought to himself that this kind of thing for the benefit of the world must not be hidden privately, and he must let other boat masters know about it, so as not to have an accident.

Zhang Daoling took out a drawing from his cuff and handed it to Gao Mu, and said, "The effort of raising your hands is not as significant as Brother Gao's escort for us." ”

Gao Mu held the drawings in his hand and said with a fist: "Mr. Zhang is benevolent and righteous, and he is really a model for scholars. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few cyan jade coins that Zhang Yuanyi had never seen before, "A small gift, it's not enough to repay, I'll make up for it next time when I prepare a gift of thanks." ”

Zhang Daoling rarely did not refuse, accepted the small cyan money, and returned politely, don't get along with the money.

That night, Takagi, the boat master, deliberately wore a purple star robe, holding a black and white feather fan in one hand and an antique compass in the other.

It's too depressing, just because this broken compass actually makes him afraid, he has been flying at a low speed, and he doesn't dare to increase a little speed, as the most skilled boat master of the Blue and White Sect, he actually has to suffer this grievance, it's really aggrieved, now it's okay, with this new compass in hand, he is confident that he can arrive at Longwan Island four or five days early.

With a wave of the boat's tall wood feather fan, he turned his qi into a dantian, standing in the wind, and his voice was mellow and powerful: "The southeast deflection is two feet and full speed forward!"

I don't look at the stars in the sky, and sometimes I look down at the compass, like a galaxy in the palm of my hand.

——

Nine Heavens Left Rotation Heaven

Huge stars are densely distributed, like large lanterns shining brightly in the left-hand sky. In front of these stars, the mountains of the world are like pebbles that look childish and ridiculous, and even greater than these stars are the sun and moon, which shine on the whole left-hand sky like day, and this is the highest level of the heavens, from which the sun, moon and stars seen in the world originate.

In the distance, the purple micro star at the top of the stars, as well as the two hidden stars of the auxiliary star and the Bi star, were moving at an extremely fast speed, as fast as a meteor, burning with raging fire on the surface, but there was no sign of shrinking, like three large fireballs. Towards the Tianshu Star, the Tianji Star, and the Kaiyang Star respectively, they are about to crash into pieces.

There are three people behind the largest purple microstar, one laughs wildly, one weeps bitterly, and one is full of anger, two after the auxiliary star, one is full of fear, the other is full of intoxication, and the two after the star, one is extremely evil, and the other has a dark fire in his eyes. Everyone is very different, and each of them pushes the three stars with all their might.

Someone was sitting on a chariot and there were nine heavenly dragons pulling it, a golden lacquered throne, with an indifferent expression, like driving away a mercenary.
