"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river. ”

A middle-aged man, with a slender figure, wearing a gray brocade robe, his long hair was slightly pulled up with a red coral, his hands were in the air, looking at the smoke in the distance and the red sun sinking in the west, standing there silently, for a while, suddenly chanted such a poem by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty "Make it to the stopper".

"Changqi Xian, it turns out that you are here. It's really a good poetry!" A short and fat old man walked from behind, with a round face and no beard, and slowly walked from behind. There was also a woman in her early twenties, with a melon seed face and red phoenix eyes, looking forward to it, full of style, but with a hint of cold arrogance.

The middle-aged man who had just recited poetry turned around, with a warm smile on his face, and arched his hand slightly towards the man and woman who came over, and said, "Senior Jiang, Miss Jiang." ”

"'The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river', which is the desert scenery of the Western Regions, but now we are in the vast East China Sea. Shen Gongzi, just reciting these two sentences of Wang Maha, it was unexpected. The woman, surnamed Jiang, walked over, holding the side of the boat, and looked at the blue and deep sea under her feet.

It turned out that these three people were actually on a big ship, and the big ship was sailing in the vast East China Sea.

Of course, I know that this is in the vast East China Sea. But what is the difference between the boundless East China Sea and the desert full of wind and sand? When a red sun falls into the water, why should we distinguish between the long river and the sea?。。 Shizun gave up himself and went to Lushan, and now he has no hope for the road, so he has to take over the important task of the clan and manage the matter of crossing the sea and doing business. The sea is like layers of sand, dripping water, like mud, the bitter sea is like a desert, and the sunset cannot be chased.

That Shen Gongzi was bitter in his heart, but he smiled slightly, and said lightly, "The fleet set off from Dongying Nagasaki, counting today, it is already the third day. If there is no major storm, then in two days, you can return to Zhoushan Port. The task of our trip can be successfully completed. ”

The ginger girl, seeing that she was actually being ignored, had a layer of frost on her face, and her silver teeth bit her lip gently, as if she was hesitating to continue talking.

It was the short and fat old man next to him who took over the conversation and said with a smile, "This trip to Dongying is really thanks to Brother Changqi, who escorted him along the way. Otherwise, it would be a hundred dares for Jiang, and Jiang would not dare to take the eldest lady to sea. ”

This old man, who is both old and well-cultivated, is not vulgar, that Shen Gongzi is not good at slacking off, seeing that he is so polite, he solemnly replied, "Senior Jiang, you are serious." Changqi just followed the experience of Jiang's seniors, and along the way, thanks to Jiang's seniors' maintenance and guidance. ”

"The virtuous nephew is worthy of being a disciple of Haoran Zhenjun, the lord of the big island of Dongji Island, not only has a Confucian skill, but also has the gentlemanly charm of ancient Confucianism. The old man replied with a smile, obviously very satisfied with the middle-aged man's humble attitude. Then, the old man, glancing at the young woman beside him out of the corner of his eye, as if he didn't notice a trace of awkwardness in the scene, was about to speak again.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper hurriedly trotted over from the stern, walked up to the three of them, and said, "The eldest lady of Qiyu, the second master, Shen Gongzi, and a wild monk came from behind, saying that he was going to take a boat back." ”

The Jiang family is led by Jiang Manqing, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and Jiang Ranshan, the second master of the Jiang family, and the Shen family is led by Changqi, the eldest son of the Shen family. Moreover, the two families joined forces for the first time to make a big deal, and secretly there was a marriage, because this shopkeeper was also a member of the Jiang family, but he also named Shen Gongzi, and counted him as a person who needed to be informed.

Wild monks?

Jiang Ranshan flicked his sleeves, frowned and looked at the last big ship in the fleet, and could vaguely see a monk standing on the deck and confronting the sailors on the ship.

"In the middle of the sea where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, how can a monk suddenly appear? It must be a spy sent by the thief! Just cut it and feed the fish!" Then Miss Jiang Manqing finally spit out the stuffy breath that was holding in her chest.

"Let's come and see you. If a cultivator happens to be passing by, Senior Jiang, we might as well make friends with one or two. *Qi said.

Jiang Ranshan groaned slightly, then nodded, motioned to the shopkeeper, invited the monk to the main ship, and then returned to the cabin with Jiang Manqing and *Qi.

A pot of Longjing spring tea, slowly drank most of it. Someone is out to tell you, and they have already been invited. But one after the other, a monk and a girl walked in.

The monk, seventeen or eighteen years old, looking at his outfit and appearance, was obviously a person from the Central Plains, and he was indeed a cultivator, and his cultivation was about the third layer of mortal dust. Writing this, all the officials naturally understand that this monk is Wuxu.

It is said that Wuxu came out of the Dragon Palace World in the East China Sea that day and flew westward, bent on returning to the mainland as soon as possible to see how Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng and Wang Baobao fought, and then went directly to Lushan. After flying for a day, I saw a large fleet of twenty ships in front of me, which was about to escape into the clouds and sweep away. But he suddenly saw that every ship in the fleet was wearing the flag of the Shenzhou League.

The first time, it was Wuxu who learned that Lu Miaoying didn't know what to do, looking for himself everywhere, and wanted to be unfavorable to himself, so he got on the boat from Quarry Rock and went down the river to Putuo Island in the East China Sea. The ship he was on was also flying the banner of the Shenzhou League. Moreover, that time I met Wu Demon Dao, Miss Long Jing, and that Pan Ruoxue. At that time, he almost died in Taihu Lake.

Later, Wuxu gradually learned that the original Shenzhou League was an alliance formed by some monks from all over the world, but in fact, it was Dongji Island that presided over the overall situation, and the person who came forward to preside over the major events was Pan Ruoxue, who was the princess of King Wu in the world.

Wuxu didn't expect that on the East China Sea, he encountered a fleet under the banner of the Shenzhou League, so he lurked down and listened carefully, this fleet actually went to Dongying Nagasaki to do business with those people in Tu Sihai. Food, medicine, and weapons were transported, and silver with white flowers, shining treasures, and delicate Fuso women were brought back.

On the mainland, the righteous army was hungry and cold, and they were fighting bloody battles with the Yuan army, but these people actually started foreign trade, took the scarce materials, and funded the Long Qian's gang, not to mention, but also trafficked/sold women. What a bastard!

What's more, your Shenzhou League, Dongji Island, still have an enmity with the little monk?

Wu Xuan had an idea in his heart, although he would not kill all the people in the fleet and throw them into the sea to feed Wang Ba, but this fleet and its materials must be detained.

Therefore, he was enlightened and angry, pretending to be a little monk of the third layer of mortal dust, and first went on the ship to meet the person in charge of the fleet.

When Wuxu landed on the deck, the sailors and guards on the ship couldn't help but be shocked, and one by one they took their swords and surrounded him. Higher, there were several archers, pulling out their bows, and the arrows were aimed at Wuxu's bald head.

Wuxu didn't say much, just said that he was in a hurry and wanted to take a hitchhike.

If it weren't for the fact that Wuxu fell from the sky, many swords would have been beckoned. A small leader, who stopped his subordinates who were already suffocating in the boat, looked at the little monk in front of him with no fear, and was ashamed to take a boat with a tailwind, and finally called a subordinate sideways and ordered him to report to the main ship quickly.

Seeing this, Wuxu didn't say a word, no matter how the other party asked, he didn't speak. The back simply lowered his eyebrows and looked at the deck, just waiting for a loud shout from the other side, so that he could hurt others. Although the death penalty is avoided, a small punishment cannot be escaped.

Unexpectedly, Miyuko Nakajima didn't know when she flew out of the sea, holding a dagger, and smacked viciously at the sailors and guards on the ship.

There was a man in the fleet who knew Japanese, and a look of even more disgust appeared on his face, and he walked up to the little leader and whispered a few words in his ear. The little leader, his eyes wide open, waved his hand to give the order. Fortunately, Jiang Ranshan's order arrived. This avoids an anomalous bloodshed.

Wuxu walked expressionlessly in front, while his divine sense transmitted to Miyuko Nakajima, who was following him, "Why did you come with you?"

"Miyukiko, I'm here to protect my lords. ”

"Who wants you to protect!Where do you come from!" Wuxu was very depressed, just now this Nakajima Miyuko said to those people on the boat, he could understand what he was saying, "Swear to protect your lord." You brutalize the girl of Toei, and Nara Jingu will not let you go. ”

"Although the adult's cultivation is superb, it is Miyukiko's responsibility to protect the adult. Miyuko Nakajima replied respectfully.

Forcibly protected by others, Wuxu is the first time he has encountered it. If she had her spare time, Wuxu could have educated her for three days and three nights with the teachings of Buddhism and Zen teachings, but now, when there was something important, Wuxu snorted with his divine sense, and then said, "Okay, later, you can take those Fusang women back!"

。

Jiang Ranshan, his brows furrowed deeper than before, and his two eyes stared at Wuxu and Miyuko Nakajima for a long time before he said, "You are from the Toei Nara Shrine?"

Wuxu looked at Jiang Ran Mountain, the four-layer cultivation of mortal dust was the highest in the cabin. On the same day, on the Yangtze River, on the ship of the Shenzhou League, Wu Demon Dao, cultivation is already the eighth layer of mortal dust, and the dragon girl, although there is only about seven layers of mortal dust, but the cultivation is faintly incomprehensible, I can't imagine that after the opening of Lushan, do a big deal in international trade, and the person in charge is only four layers of mortal dust. is really a hero in the world, all on Lushan.

immediately snorted coldly, "When the life and death of the Central Plains are at stake, you are waiting for one by one to only care about getting tickets, and heaven is intolerable!" With a wave of his hand, Jiang Ranshan, *Qi and the others were fixed there.

At the same time, Miyuko Nakajima, who was behind her, turned her wrist and brought a cold light, turning the two guards standing behind her into a pool of blood.

Wuxu sensed it and was stunned, "Okay, these people should also be killed." There is no such thing as great nationalism, and you have to kill yourself. Then, he pointed to wake up Jiang Manqing, who was too frightened and fainted, "You go out to give orders, and all the people in charge of the fleet will come in and obey the order." ”

Jiang Manqing was stunned, looked at Jiang Ranshan, and *Qi.

Jiang Ranshan, his whole body seemed to sink into an ice cellar. After the opening of Lushan, almost all the real monks in the world rushed there. Take the few real monks on Dongji Island that I knew, for example, they, along with many of their disciples, had long been out of contact. But I didn't expect that in the vast East China Sea, I actually met a real monk! Could it be a real monk from the Toei Nara Shrine?

Jiang Ranshan suddenly realized in his heart that he knew that when he went to sea this time, the goods of the twenty big ships were ostensibly traded with Deacon Tu of Dongji Island, but in fact, some of them were secretly traded with the Divine Palace through the middlemen of Gui Song Ting. Therefore, this time, as long as he puts out the banner of the Shenzhou League, the Dongying Demon Cultivator, the Dongying Shrine, the Shenlong Shogunate established by the Dragon Diver, and even the pirates of Dongying Kagoshima will not be embarrassed. Now, a real monk, disguised as a small monk of the third layer of mortal dust, subdued himself and * Qi in one fell swoop, obviously trying to eat black. And most likely it is Toei Nara Jingu. Because, the pirates of the East Sea Demon Alliance and Kagoshima do not have real monks, and the Dragon Shogunate is the only one who is a real monk, so it is impossible for him to change his face and do such a thing in person, right?

Jiang Ranshan, nodded and signaled Jiang Manqing to do what Wuxu said, knowing that it was the plan for the future, and only by not provoking anger and disobedience to Wuxu and saving his life was the best ending. He is in the fourth layer of mortal dust, and he has just entered the third layer of mortal dust, how can he fight with a real cultivator? Jiang Ranshan even felt that it was a great fortune to be able to refine some poisonous exercises so that he could never recover and never be reborn.

After a while, twenty captains walked in. Wuxu, who had already entered the mandala Dharma Realm with his divine consciousness, sealed and took these twenty captains, including Jiang Ranshan, *Qi, Jiang Manqing, and Miyuko Nakajima, into it.

Wuxu sat on the futon, knocked on the wooden fish, raised the incense, and then, under the gaze of everyone, said to Miyuko Nakajima, "There are three big boats, loaded with your Fuso women, you take them back." But don't talk about today's things indiscriminately. ”

Miyuko Nakajima, kneeling there, was chattering again, to the effect that she was going to swear to follow and protect the adult, and the Fuso woman of the three big ships was also left to Wuxu.

Wu Xu's right palm erected on his chest flipped slightly, knocking it out of the Dharma Realm.

Then, facing Jiang Ranshan and *Qi, he said, "As monks, you don't want to seek the Great Dao, but you don't care about the great cause of the world's resistance to the Yuan, sell/sell in-demand materials, and disregard the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and smuggle Dongying women. What is the crime?!"

Jiang Ranshan, stunned, listening to this tone, is this real monk in front of him or a Han person? Seeing Wu Xuan looking at himself, it seemed that he really wanted to answer himself, and he couldn't help but turn his heart sideways, and simply said desperately, hoping to be able to say the right appetite of the old monster in front of him.

"The Jiang family and the Shen family, to which the seniors and juniors belong, spare no effort to fight against the Yuan army on weekdays. This time, the fleet went to sea to trade, although it was said that there were food, medicines, and weapons sold/sold, but all through normal channels, and obtained the permission of King Wu. The majority of the profits will be handed over to King Wu. This is really wronged in disregard of the great cause of resisting the Yuan!"

"Can silver recruit the Yuan army, or can it kill the Yuan army?" Wuxu doesn't believe that in this era, there is a financial crisis, and silver is needed to calm it.

Seeing that Jiang Ranshan was speechless, Wuxu asked again, "Smuggler woman, what do you say?"

"Qi Yu predecessors, Dongying Fusang is also a series of wars, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, the local people are also hot, these Dongying girls, in the local either sold into the green building, or were filled into military prostitutes, before the war, even divided and eaten. I waited to buy it, but they couldn't ask for it. ”

"How are you going to settle the houses you buy? Are you going to sell them to the Qinglou in Zhoushan? Or are you going to sell them to those disabled and old people in the mountains? In this way, you will damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries and fool the people of the two countries, are you not afraid of karma?" Wu Xuan couldn't help but remember the words of those sailors and guards who had lurked down before.

"Dongying Fusang, an overseas wilderness, is a vassal country of the Celestial Empire, how can there be diplomatic relations between the two countries?" one or two captains muttered.

"Stop, stop, stop!!" "After the cliff mountain, the east of Fusang, the whole country, dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling in the west for three days, ru su mourned, and the momentum was not the yuan. Now, the Yuan army is marching southward, and the righteous army is in danger, and you and others only know how to sell/sell materials and smuggle women, but they are not ashamed to say that what a wild land, what a vassal country of the Celestial Empire! What a shame! People will humiliate themselves and others will humiliate them!"

Wuxu said in the end, word by word, such as Huang Zhong Da Lu, like a wooden fish Buddha chime, those captains were shocked and coughed up blood.

"Senior, real person overhaul, enlightened monk, please give advice, how should the younger generation practice, how to act?" * Qi, bowed and asked.

"In the Dharma, there are some causes and effects, but if you say them, you may not understand them, and if you say them, you may not understand some truths. Wuxu said slowly, but he was asked. In the sense of consciousness, Miyuko Nakajima had been waiting outside, and did not leave with the three big ships carrying the Toei woman.

After pondering for a moment, Wuxu said, "The little monk doesn't kill people indiscriminately. You obey the orders of the little monk and steer the fleet well. When you arrive at Zhoushan Port, the little monk asks you to leave on your own. ”

Naturally, everyone is submissive.

Wu Xuan then knocked on the wooden fish again, causing the incense burner to rise and float into the mouths and noses of the people, and then said, "This is the Buddha incense of the little monk Dharma Realm, so you can do it." ”

After speaking, the imprint in his hand changed, and he took a deep breath. Everyone only felt that their three souls and six spirits were about to leave their bodies and float into the incense burner. This is the realization of the void and a slight subtle use of the Dharma Realm of Annihilation, causing everyone's divine consciousness to leave the body, to be turned into nothingness, and to achieve the fragrance of the Dharma Realm.

After seeing the powerful means of enlightenment, everyone went out of the Dharma Realm and obediently went their separate ways.

In the cabin of the main ship, Jiang Ranshan, *Qi, and Jiang Manqing sat on the chairs, their expressions pale and their hearts were like ashes. Miyuko Nakajima stood beside Wuxu, but no matter how angry Wuxu was, she didn't leave, as if she was going to die here. Even if Wuxu is in danger with three Dongying women, Miyuko Nakajima is indifferent.

Thinking of those Dongying women, it seems that it is also a problem to send them back rashly, and Wuxu finally has to acquiesce to Miyuko Nakajima to stay in the fleet for the time being.

As night fell, the fleet, which was supposed to be suspended, continued to move slowly under the supervision of twenty captains. On each ship, a string of night pearls is hung, gently swaying with the wind, emitting a cold light, and together with the bright moon in the sky, the surrounding sea is clearly illuminated.

Looking from afar, on the occasion of the sea and sky, a water of dreamy light and shadow, ups and downs, dissipates with the waves, and comes with the moon. It is like a string of faint camel bells in the vast desert, in the night, with the wind and sand, melodiously drifting into the distance.

That's right

The desert is lonely and the East China Sea is singing, and the sun sets over the long river.

The mantra of the Dharma realm is a Buddha chime, and the luminous pearl dreams of camel bells.
