Chapter 622: Little Immortal
At about noon, the fleet of these two great ships set sail.
Some people from Whitewater came to see it, but there wasn't much excitement. These people, including many on board, did not think that this voyage would last long.
Because the owner of the ship is Lu Baishui - a man with a net worth. How can such a person be like an outlaw who does not spare his life?
It was also because there were officers and soldiers on the ship, and I heard that the officers and soldiers were escorting a young Taoist to find the Immortal Mountain...... Probably just to defraud the governor of his money. I won't really go to find any fairy mountains.
They expected the ships to return before the port froze, in two months.
- only half guessed correctly.
But that's another story.
Departing at noon, the boat gets faster. After about an hour, the port of Danfeng is thrown below sea level, and about three hours later, when the sky is getting darker, the ship reaches its maximum speed.
The sea was windy, but it was slightly warmer than on land. It is also a rare occurrence for some people who have never been to sea.
Those people are strange...... The Ninth Prince is naturally even more rare.
This wayward dragon son has been on land and in Weishui for a thousand years. In the past, I only thought that Weishui was an incomparably magnificent river, but now when I see the sea, I know that there is really such a vast water area in the world!
A man is afraid of the cold, and he huddles in the cabin, how can he be afraid of the cold?
So, I wanted to go to sea to play.
Before today, Li Yunxin would not agree - the ocean is vast and there are many aquariums. There must be more demons than on land. Once this matter causes some trouble, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. But now I know that Xie Sheng is also on the boat...... I wish the nine sons were leaving.
Whether it's naïve or stupid, he won't be able to fight Xie Sheng, and sooner or later he will show his feet.
Therefore, Lu Baishui ordered someone to clear out a cabin where the ballast stone was placed and sealed it. He and the Ninth Prince made a way to escape into the cabin, and after thousands of instructions, they asked the Ninth Prince to escape from the bottom of the boat and go to the sea to play.
And then...... Start doing your own thing.
He moved to the bilge. Most of the seafarers and sailors lived in the bilge, and some passenger traders also lived in the bilge.
At this time, it was difficult for large ships to go to sea, so as soon as they heard that Lu Baishui's two huge ships were going east, many people came nearby—these people wanted to visit relatives and sell goods on the eastern islands. Originally, I could only wait until the beginning of spring, but now I have caught up with a bargain. Therefore, they don't know each other well, and they are giving him a chance to blend in.
And so it was, and four more days passed.
- It was a very busy four days.
In these four days, this fourteen or fifteen-year-old "Li Xiaogongzi" got to know a lot of people. It is because he has "just entered the WTO" and is full of eager enthusiasm. When getting along with people, I can't wait to act old. But in the eyes of a young man like him, "old and sophisticated" is probably throwing money to make friends and showing off his family background.
This is in the eyes of a truly shrewd person, but he is a fool.
But who doesn't like such a fool? In four days' work, dozens of taels of silver have been spilled—saying things like "My father told me that I have many friends and many roads." But I don't know that it's not what all friends need, and it's not that if you receive money, it's your friend's.
On the fifth day, when he had become acquainted with half of the people on the ship, he "accidentally" said that when he was on a trip as a teenager, he had seen a stone tablet by a bridge, on which a poem was engraved. It was naturally strange to see such a stele in such a remote place, so I stopped and read out the poem on the stele.
But he knew this poem - it was written by a Confucian after he abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion, and very few people knew about it.
On a small mound next to the monument, there was an old man with fairy wind bones reading. So he asked the old man, "Sir, how can there be such a poem here?"
The old man put down the book and looked at him, and said, "This is a Taoist poem written by Zhou Mudun in his later years. You know at such a young age?"
Then he put down the book, invited him to the house by the bridge to drink tea, and talked to him again. Then I realized that although this young man looked careless and looked like a rich boy who didn't learn anything, he was actually very insightful about the "way of easy reasoning".
So he said, "I have carved this poem for so long that no one has been able to tell where it came from." Now you know that you and I have our fate."
He accepted him as a disciple and passed down the art of spying on the heavens.
There is a reason why Li Yunxin told such a story.
When he was trapped on the top of Yunshan, he chatted with Xin Xiliu and Su Yusong for the first few days. Although there are turbulent waves hidden between Yan Yan and Yan, he did learn some allusions related to Taoism.
Zhou Mudun, who abandoned his official position and went into hiding, actually became a cultivator in the end. And the talent is extremely high, and the cultivation realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it only took four hundred and forty-six years to advance to the realm of Taishang and become the 211th generation of the Dao Lord.
And the old man on the mound is also very famous among the Daoists, and he is the later Daoist Langya Cave Heaven's throne and the master of the Dacheng Mystic Realm.
The "he" in the story, whose secular name is Liu Xingfu - has been walking in the world since the old man taught the Fa, and has a son and a daughter. Later, in his old age, he realized the Tao, and spent 916 years cultivating to the realm of Taishang, becoming the 212th generation saint of the Taoist system - it was the teacher of the 213th generation of the later scholar Yu Meng.
This is a story that mortals in the world are unlikely to know. But those who practice must know. The people of Mu Nanju and the people of Freemasonry must also know. Because the three people in the story actually produced two saints, it is a very rare thing, and it can be regarded as an outlier in the cultivation world.
But now he is acting like this, and he is a mortal who knows nothing—once someone who knows about this old news hears it, they will inevitably pay attention to him.
Once the attention is focused on him...... There will always be flaws.
So many people jokingly came to him to see his fate.
Li Yunxin is not proficient in this, but he is proficient in psychology. After getting along with this group of people for so many days, how can you not see which person is living in poverty, which person has a bad family, which person is cowardly and fearful, and which person may have a deep blood feud?
Therefore, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he talked about the past and old things of these people, good fortune and bad luck, and there was no one who did not hit.
This group of people was really shocked—only to know that this was really a little fairy! and it soon spread throughout the ship.
So...... Three more days.
When the two giant ships sailed to the Chuliao Sea, the first fish took the bait.
Li Yunxin lived in a cramped compartment in the bilge, and at midnight, the hatch was gently pushed open.
A woman with a headscarf and coarse cloth clothes, but her appearance was still "the posture of a middleman", walked in. Li Yunxin did not fall asleep, lying in the hammock with his arms on his pillow, and he didn't seem surprised by the woman's arrival.
So the woman stared at him expressionlessly, and said softly, "The people of Mu Nanju." Or are you a Freemason?"
