Chapter 100: Casting Lots (2)
Chu Qing rushed over and also shouted, "Xiao Jiu?"
Yi Dingjia, who was originally carried by Chu Qing, couldn't help persuading her not to approach the sailboat, saying that what if there were any powerful monsters, at this time, when she heard that several people knew each other, she quietly stopped talking.
Xiao Jiu looked at Chu Qing, his eyes were full of excitement and excitement, and a feeling of reunion after a long absence crept into his heart, and all kinds of feelings of longing converged before he could ask.
"Boom"
A loud bang came, and the wrath of the zenith thunder was terrifying.
Xiao Jiu had to hurriedly speak: "It's going to rain heavily, everyone come on the boat with me." After saying that, he shook his body and flew back to the ship first, and everyone didn't say much, and they all followed.
Everyone fell back to the deck, Xiao Jiu took a step forward, raised his hand to open the cabin gate, looked back at the sky where the wind and clouds gathered, and said urgently: "Come in with me." ”
Chu Qing looked up, and it turned out that the big butterfly he saw was a huge kite, and there was also a horn lamp on it, so he saw a bright spot on the huge black shadow from a distance.
Everyone walked down the stairs below the deck into the cabin, only to see a person standing in front of them, but it was a short red-clothed monk Jiao Hougen. Seeing Feng Shuzhu coming in, Jiao Hougen hurriedly got up to greet him and bowed his hand, and what surprised Chu Qing even more was that there was a little chubby bear bag sitting next to the table, and an orange cat girl sitting opposite, and the little chubby bear bag was comparing something.
Chu Qing was overjoyed in her heart and shouted, "Bags." ”
The little chubby bear bag didn't seem to believe the familiar voice calling it at first, turned his head and saw that it was really Chu Qing, only stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped off the chair, crawled over with a rolling belt, and stretched out his hand to Chu Qing to hug him, and the little chubby bear bag had tears in his eyes.
After calming down for a while, Chu Qing also said quite movingly: "Bag, where have you been?
The little fat bear bag nodded repeatedly.
I heard the wind and bamboo on the side and said, "Xiao Jiu, how did you sail such a big ship?"
After mentioning this, everyone realized that this sailboat was not big from a distance, but when they entered the cabin, they found that it was much more spacious than 20 people.
But I heard the shopkeeper Meihe suddenly shouting on the side, "I want to turn around immediately and go back to the Central Plains." ”
The short red-clothed monk Jiao Hougen looked embarrassed and said: "It's not a secret, neither of us can sail a boat, but we just bought this boat to follow the waves and drift on the sea for a few days, and at this time it is also trapped here, or it came up with a way to use a kite to attract people over." As he spoke, he pointed to the little chubby bear bag.
When the little fat bear bag heard someone praise him, he was even more energetic.
Chu Qing pinched his bag and praised it. "Gee, it's still our bags smart. ”
Xiao Jiu's eyes kept staring at Chu Qing, and although he didn't want to move away at this time, he said: "Brother Feng, we have also been waiting in Cangqing Mountain for a while, and we can't see you, I heard the monks of Kongjue Temple say that we went to Shuiyue Palace, and when we arrived at Shuiyue Palace, we heard that the monks of Kongjue Temple said that Master Kongxing and others went to Interrupted Island, although we didn't know the direction, but we still chased all the way. As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Qing again, but saw that his attention was completely focused on the little fat bear bag.
Shui Lingyue and Granny Duan stood aside and were silent, the orange cat girl had already returned to its owner, and Granny Duan happily couldn't stop touching its back with her hands.
Hearing the mention of empty travel, the monks of Kongjue Temple couldn't help but look gloomy.
The shopkeeper Meihe shouted: "Oh, you can't sail the boat, you still dare to come to the sea, don't talk about the wind and waves, even the monster will tear the boat apart, you guys come with me, turn the bow of the boat, and go back to the Central Plains." As he spoke, he pointed to the monks of Kongjue Temple, and then led a dozen people to the deck.
Outside, the wind was high and the waves were strong, and the lightning was thundering.
The shopkeeper Meihe began to brave the heavy rain, running back and forth, desperately shouting and commanding everyone to operate, and after a while, people felt that the boat had turned around, and immediately put their minds at ease.
Xiao Jiu closed the cabin, invited everyone to sit down, and listened to the wind and said, "How is the situation in Cangqing Mountain?"
Xiao Jiu looked around, and finally set his eyes on Yi Dingjia.
Yi Dingjia looked at him, and his beard curled: "The old man has worked hard all the way to the sword, and he wants to go to sleep, you can talk about it, and you won't eavesdrop." Then he went to the corner of the cabin, lay down on a pile of sacks, stretched, yawned, and fell asleep with his head down, whirring.
Xiao Jiu retracted his gaze, looked at Feng Shuzhu again, and only listened to him: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, there are no outsiders here." ”
Xiao Jiu said: "Lin Xianniang returned to Xunxianglou, but she just closed the door and didn't see her hurt people again." ”
Feng Shuzhu nodded in contemplation for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the short red-clothed monk Jiao Hougen.
Jiao Hougen hurriedly said: "Feng Shaoxia, there is no news of Liang Zong on the side of Luotian Mountain, the Liang Mansion is empty, everyone has disappeared, and it is rumored in the surrounding countryside that Liang Zong is the devil, and the statues and portraits of the gods that were originally enshrined in the family have also been thrown everywhere, and people are like hiding from the plague." ”
Feng Shuzhu nodded, sighed slightly, and said lightly: "Liang Zong is indeed the devil, and he is also the apprentice of Jiuli Chifang on Intermittent Island, and he has been killed by us." ”
Hearing this, the two of them were shocked and then looked happy, and Xiao Jiu said again: "Brother Feng, what are you going to do next." ”
Feng Shuzhu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "First go to Fangwai Mountain, and pay tribute to the Venerable Master and Master Kongxing." ”
The two couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard it, but they also guessed nine times out of ten, seeing that the corners of Feng Shuzhu's mouth moved, they looked at the hundred robes on the table, and did not continue, and the two did not ask any more questions.
The cabin suddenly fell silent, except for Yi Dingjia's dry water like thunder, even the little fat bear bag and the orange cat girl did not make any sound, they all lay next to their masters, reunited after a long absence, adding a little closer.
Outside the boat was already waves, the shopkeeper Meihe was soaked, shouting in the wind and rain, directing the monks of Kongjue Temple to hold the sail and turn the rudder, coil the cable, and drain the water outward, and the sea boat was obviously familiar to him.
Layers of huge waves like hills, driven by the sea breeze, swept from afar, rushed to the side of the ship to stir up waves several zhang high, roaring, if it were not for the monks of Meihe and Kongjue Temple who were in practice, I am afraid that they would have been swept into the bottom of the sea.
The huge butterfly kite, dancing in the wind, "hula" sounded, as if to cheer for everyone, the little light on the kite is even more stubbornly lit, like the strong belief of human beings to conquer nature, that is the crazy sea, the only bit of light, at this time it can be undulating, can swing, but will never give up brightness.
The hull of the ship was pushed by the huge waves, sometimes extremely tilted, and some of the tools on the deck rolled to one side, and the monks of Kongjue Temple had to use their mana to stand firmly, and the hull of the ship swayed in the wind and rain.
The shopkeeper Meihe saw that the situation was not good, he rose up, took a few breaths, turned into a spherical shape again, rotated rapidly, rushed to the rows of huge waves, rubbed the huge waves that set off, and the waves were scattered, which was a block for the precarious sails, but the huge waves in the sea were so violent, a wave just passed, a wave came again, the shopkeeper Meihe insisted on a cup of tea for less than a time, then he was defeated, his body was suffocated, turned into the same, and fell on the deck, the monks of Kongjue Temple hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the shopkeeper Meihe panted and said: " No, no, this mast will break in a while, quick, get out of the cabin, find a plank to seal the entrance from the inside, as long as it does not enter the water, this ship will not sink. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly lifted the shopkeeper Meihe, opened the hatch on the deck, and jumped in one after another.
Seeing that everyone was like this, the people inside hurriedly stood up, only to see the monks of Kongjue Temple couldn't help but say, found a wooden board to seal the entrance tightly, the shopkeeper Meihe collapsed aside, smiled at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger and pointed to the top, and said: "The wind and waves, it's too big, I'm afraid the sail is ......", before the words were finished, everyone only felt that the hull of the ship was tilted, and a "click" sound came from the deck, and the hull shook from side to side a few times before it stabilized.
Then I heard the sound of the sea, as if it had overflowed the deck, and a small stream of water also dripped from the entrance of the cabin, and the shopkeeper Meihe hurriedly asked for the plank, and walked up to seal it carefully, which was a relief.
Feng Shuzhu stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "It's hard to be the shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper Mei He waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm also saving myself, if I don't have this boat, I'm afraid I would have exhausted my strength in the wind and waves and died in the belly of the fish." ”
Feng Shuzhu nodded, and said, "But you don't know this boat?"
Everyone turned their eyes to the shopkeeper Meihe, which should be something that anyone present at the moment was eager to know.
Seeing everyone like this, the shopkeeper Meihe seemed to feel a little embarrassed, but immediately cleared his throat and said: "Don't think that I am the shopkeeper who only knows how to make money, I used to be the boss of this sea running boat, and I am not proficient in the work on this ship." After speaking, he said: "Don't worry, although this ship is not as good as my second floor, it is no problem to withstand such wind and waves and go ashore." Seeing that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "It's just that you shouldn't be too relaxed, I can't judge where this ship is going." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qing said busily. "Will it blow to Intermittent Island again?"
The shopkeeper Mei He waved his hand and said with a smile: "No matter how big the wind and waves are, there is a direction, I have observed for a long time, this wind and waves are blowing towards the Central Plains, so I dare to give up the mast and hide in the cabin." ”
Everyone let out an "oh", thinking that as long as they leaned on the coast of the Central Plains, it didn't matter.
After the shopkeeper Meihe finished speaking, he secretly became sad again, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, my second floor, it was made of seawood that I tried so hard to find." ”
Yi Dingjia didn't know when he woke up, and stepped forward and said: "Oh, the old man said that the second floor is so powerful, it turned out to be made of sequoia wood, I heard that a tree takes five hundred years to become a tree, and it is rare to gather so much wood, I am afraid it is really rare, and the shopkeeper Mei is really powerful!" ”
After listening to the shopkeeper Meihe, not only did his mood not improve, but he became even more sad, Yi Dingjia seemed to have reacted and said the wrong thing, covered his mouth, and flashed to the side.
Everyone had to shake their heads again and again, and Yi Dingjia said again: "Give up your wealth to avoid disasters, give up your wealth to avoid disasters, fortunately, your life is worry-free." ”
