Chapter 2: Departure from the Sea of Innocence (Mystery Ship Boss)

If you could start over, what would you be like now? This is a question that has been haunting Dongfang Xue's mind. After washing up in a hurry, Dongfang Xue packed up the luggage in the house, put it in the ghost ring, and when she left the room, she looked back and checked it, and saw that there was nothing left, so Dongfang Xue closed the door. Below the inn were ten ghost guards who had been cleaned up early and waited quietly, as well as Shen Mengli, who was sleepy-eyed.

Everyone followed the path pointed out by Shen Mengli and walked straight towards the port, there are ships going to sea every day in the port, as long as there are enough spirit stones, then it is only a matter of time before they arrive at Yaoguang Island.

But after everyone came to the port, the scene in front of them couldn't help but smack their tongues. The only port in the entire Eastern Regions, why is it so deserted? The port is not small, and there is no edge at all at a glance, Dongfang Xue guessed that this port should have half a day of laughter in the water city, and hundreds of ships of different sizes docked on the shore on the sea with the ebb and flow of the tide. It's just that the figures here are very sparse, and the scene in the hearts of Dongfang Xue and others is simply worlds apart.

Dongfang Xue looked at Shen Mengli who was leading the way in front of her, only to see that Shen Mengli was also frowning, wondering in her heart, when did this place become so desolate? Just when everyone stopped and didn't know where to go, suddenly Dongfang Xue saw a strong man walking down from the boat not far away, Dongfang Xue hurriedly stepped forward and called out to the man.

"This big brother, why is this famous Tianshui Port so deserted today?" Duguxue clenched his fists and asked politely at the man.

The man first looked at Dongfang Xue, and then glanced at the people standing behind Dongfang Xue, his eyes stayed on Shen Mengli, and he was a little surprised by the beauty of the woman in front of him. Dongfang Xue coughed lightly, interrupting the man's thoughts. The strong man knew that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly raised his hand and touched the back of his head awkwardly, and then politely replied to Dongfang Xue and said, "How many people are here to go to sea?"

Dongfang Xue nodded, and then said, "That's right! I don't know where I can rent a boat here?"

"Then it's a bit unfortunate that you're here!" the man said to Duguxue with a smile, and then shook his head with a sigh of regret.

"Where did this come from, big brother?" asked Duguxue suspiciously.

"You should have only recently come to Tianshui City, right? The city issued a notice as early as seven days ago, the sea has been windy and unsafe recently, so the sea will be closed for a month! Wait for the wind and waves to pass, and then open the coast!" The strong man explained to Dongfang Xue.

"So that's the case!" Dongfang Xue lowered her head and muttered, after knowing the reason, Dugu Blood Ring asked Xiang Zhuang: "Is it that in this month's time, there will be no boat to go to sea?"

The strong man shook his head, Duguxue looked at the strong man suspiciously, and the strong man explained: "It is inevitable that there will be people who are in a hurry, so there are some deadly helmsmen here, as long as the price is right, even if it is dangerous, they will go to sea, but is it safe on this sea... There is no guarantee..."After the strong man finished speaking, Dongfang Xue then hugged his fist at the strong man again and thanked him, and then returned to the people waiting for him.

Returning to the front of everyone, Dongfang Xue told everyone about the situation, Shen Mengli frowned, looked in the direction of the sea, and estimated that she had guessed the general situation. The ghost looked at Dongfang Xue and then asked suspiciously, "Young Master, then do we have to wait in Tianshui City for a month?"

Dongfang Xue frowned and nodded, and then said softly: "It's only like this......"

Just when Dongfang Xue was about to take everyone back to the inn, suddenly Dongfang Xue felt a strange wind coming behind her, very slightly, Dongfang Xue hurriedly turned around vigilantly, everyone found Dongfang Xue's abnormality, and quickly turned around in an instant. I saw an old man appear behind everyone at some point, and the ghost one drew out the Shura sword without the slightest hesitation, and the sword light was cold. This is an old man of eighty or ninety years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with white hair, although he looks old, but the spirit of this face is good. The old man's eyes were shining with the oriental snow.

Dongfang Xue saw that the old man had been smiling at him without hostility, although he didn't notice that he had just suddenly appeared behind him, and he was still weird in his heart. But Dongfang Xue still politely hugged her fist at the old man and asked, "What's the matter with the old man?"

"Ahem...... the old man coughed lightly, and then asked Dongfang Xue, "Childe is going to sea?"

"Originally, I planned it this way, but it was not at the right time, and it happened to catch up with the wind and waves, so I could only wait for a month...... "Duguxue explained to the old man.

The old man raised his hand and waved his hand, then pointed to a small boat not far away and said loudly to Dongfang Xue: "Childe, don't wait, little Lao'er, I have been rampant on the sea for more than 30 years, and this little wind and waves can't enter Xiao Lao'er's eyes, if Childe is willing, Xiao Lao'er is willing to sail for Childe, how?"

Dongfang Xue looked at the old man suspiciously, although this old man couldn't see any cultivation, but since he was able to appear behind Dongfang Xue quietly, he said that this person should have hidden his strength. Because of her past experience, Dongfang Xue didn't dare to be careless, and soon she would say no. But just when Oriental Studies was about to speak, the old man spoke in advance.

"Cultivating like Childe, there should be a rare existence in the Eastern Regions!" the old man looked at Dongfang Xue and said approvingly.

Dongfang Xue thanked the old man again and said, "The old man Liao praised!"

"But it's only the Eastern Regions!" the old man suddenly changed his words, and then said to Dongfang Xue: "If Childe is not from this island, and wants to return to the island today, then Childe wants to go to the Holy Land of Zhongzhou." ”

"Does the old man know about Zhongzhou?" Dongfang Xue said in surprise suddenly, but as soon as the words were asked, Dongfang Xue regretted it.

"Hahaha...... the old man suddenly laughed, and then quickly regained his composure, and said strangely to Dongfang Xue: "Zhongzhou people are outstanding people, Zhongzhou Danwu Academy is more beautiful cultivators who want to squeeze their heads day and night to enter the treasure land, in a month Danwu Academy is about to carry out the triennial apprenticeship ceremony, if the son misses it, he can only wait for another three years......" The old man sighed and shook his head after speaking, but a pair of radiant eyes never left Dongfang Xue's eyes.

"This ......" Dongfang Xue guessed in her heart, Maybe this old man thought that he was here to go to Zhongzhou to participate in the Danwu Academy ceremony. Dongfang Xue of Danwu Academy knows, this is an existence that has stood on Danwu Road for thousands of years, and there are countless strong people who have walked out of it during the millennium, if Dongfang Xue does not want to go in, it must be false. It's just that Dongfang Xue didn't know whether to be happy or sad in his heart, Danwu Academy's apprenticeship ceremony, which is only once in three years, actually allowed him to catch up, but he encountered this wave period on the sea, how can this be good......

Shen Mengli walked to Dongfang Xue's side at some point, stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Dongfang Xue's clothes, the purpose was to tell Dongfang Xue to be careful of this person. Dongfang Xue glanced at the old man in front of him again, only to see that the old man was waiting for Dongfang Xue to make a decision with anticipation, if this old man's cultivation is really profound, then why is he willing to be a ferryman here? What is his purpose? But after thinking about it, he is not the only boat owner in this port, so Dongfang Xue made a decision in an instant, he must go to sea today, but he can't take his boat!

After planning everything, Dongfang Xue bowed to the old man again, and then said: "The old man is bothered, I have a few brushes and I know in my heart that Danwu Academy may not be able to enter with my strength, so... The old man should go and ask others......" After finishing speaking, Dongfang Xue turned around and wanted to leave with everyone.

As soon as Dongfang Xue turned around, the old man suddenly stopped Dongfang Xue again, and then reminded: "The wind and waves on the sea this time are unusual, if Gongzi takes someone else's boat, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach his destination safely!"

"Others can't do it, why can't you?" Ghost Five Dugu Zhao looked at the old man and asked with a cold gaze.

The old man glanced at Dugu Zhao, and then explained to Dugu Xue: "I think the son has already guessed, the old man, I have already incarnated in the middle stage of my cultivation, and I have escaped death countless times on this sea, and I have more experience than others." ”

Dongfang Xue hugged her fist at the old man, and then without saying much, she led everyone and hurried towards the way she came. Although this old man confessed his cultivation, he was still suspicious, and an incarnate mid-stage powerhouse was supporting a boat at sea, which was inherently incomprehensible.

"An old man of yours is waiting for you at the Danwu Academy!" the old man suddenly shouted in the direction where Dongfang Xue had left.

Dongfang Xue suddenly stopped, her eyes were dull for a while, she didn't look back, she turned her back to the old man and asked, "I don't know who the old man said about is here, please let the old man know!"

"It's been three years since she entered the Danwu Academy...... the old man replied to Dongfang Xue with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he slowly walked towards his boat, he was very sure that Dongfang Xue would definitely go to sea today, and it would definitely be on his boat.

Dongfang Xue lowered her head and muttered, three years ago, the shocking change three years ago, there was no news after falling into Nangong Yu, Yanran Bai died three years ago, and was later rescued by a strong man in Zhongzhou, three years ago... So much happened three years ago......

"Young master!" As soon as the ghost saw that Dongfang Xue was caught in a memory that he couldn't extricate himself from, he immediately reminded him. Dongfang Xue heard the voice of the ghost one, and immediately woke up from the memory, glanced at the ghost one who was looking at him with concern, Dongfang Xue nodded. Then he turned and walked in the direction of the old man.

Shen Mengli was puzzled in his heart, the deceased, was his deceased a man or a woman? Three years ago... What happened three years ago? But doubts are doubts, Shen Mengli still hurriedly caught up with the white-haired man walking in front, and his heart was already uncertain.

When they came to the boat, the old man was hanging up the sails, and Dongfang Xue and Shen Mengli were standing aside and waiting. When the old man was ready, the old man looked around suspiciously, as if he was looking for something. Dongfang Xue hurriedly explained: "My guards have already gone back, and only the two of us went to sea on the old man's boat today. "In fact, just now, Dongfang Xue passed the ghost guards to the ghost ring when the old man was inadvertent.

The old man nodded, didn't ask any more questions, raised his hand and pointed to the cabin on the ship, and motioned for the two of them to go in and rest. Dongfang Xue signaled, and walked straight into the cabin, and Shen Mengli hurriedly followed. Although the ship is not large, the space on this ship is not small, there are four chairs in the center of the cabin, and a table with a pot of tea on the table. There are also four small rooms on the perimeter for resting. Dongfang Xue walked to the chair and sat down, Shen Mengli looked left and right, and began to look the ship up and down......

With suspicion of the old man's identity, the journey of the sea of vain began......

The ebb and flow of the sea is very calm, Dongfang Xue has not asked the old man who the old man is, Dongfang Xue has not asked why the old man knows himself, and how much does the old man know about himself? As for the old man's purpose, Dongfang Xue did not ask much, if the old man really intended to embarrass Dongfang Xue, then why did he have to wait for Dongfang Xue to get on the boat? With his strength, it was more than enough to deal with Dongfang Xue in the late stage of an out-of-body experience.

Who is it...... Who is it......

Who arranged all this...... Who is waiting for me......
