Chapter 80: The Return (4,000 Words)

The solid and dense walls, the soft white bed, the bright and warm candlelight, the warm rice wine on the stove exudes a strong aroma of wine, and the new blue clothes are neatly folded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Cheng slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his arms, turned over and sat up from the bed, and saw Zhao Xiaoqi sitting aside drinking tea alone, looking very relaxed.

Bai Cheng rubbed his temples, regained his spirit, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, how long have you been asleep?"

Zhao Xiaoqi put down the teacup in his hand, yawned, and said, "It's almost three days and three nights, brother, how long have you not slept like this?"

Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "I haven't slept well for a long time, but it's hard for my brother to take care of me." ”

Zhao Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "What am I working on? The eldest lady asked me to keep an eye on you for the past two days, and I don't have to go out to work, which is a lot easier." ”

Bai Cheng's heart moved, thinking of the long-haired girl, and couldn't help laughing: "The eldest lady has a heart." ”

Zhao Xiaoqi also smiled and said: "The eldest lady has always been a thunderbolt method, the bodhisattva heart, it's good that you know! Okay, I'll go out and report to the eldest lady first, and then go to see her after you wash up." ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Zhao for taking care of you, thank you for your concern." ”

Zhao Xiaoqi smiled, got up and went out, not long after he went out, there was a green-clothed maid, carrying a food box, bringing out a few exquisite side dishes, followed by two strong men, carrying a large basin of steaming bath water.

After these people put things away, they didn't say a word, and then left.

......

Three days earlier, Bai Cheng had boarded the sailing ship, and after chatting a few words with the ship's owner, the handsome long-haired woman, he felt a little tired, so he asked for a cabin and planned to rest for a while.

He thought that he was just a little tired and could recover his spirit after a short rest, but he didn't expect that he would eat and sleep on the coral reef and fight day and night for a year.

He hadn't relaxed his mind before, but once he relaxed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, and his fatigue suddenly poured out like a tide, completely drowning him.

Bai Cheng smiled bitterly, took off his clothes, and took a happy bath in the steaming fragrant soup, he had not touched hot water for more than a year, and at this time he soaked in the water, only feeling that there were 48,000 pores on his body, just like eating ginseng fruit, which was extremely refreshing and comfortable.

After soaking in the fragrant soup for a while, Bai Cheng dried his body, made a knife with his hands, shaved off the beard that had accumulated on his face for more than a year, and cut the long hair on the back of his head, so he hurriedly put on a new blue shirt, poured a few glasses of rice wine, ate a few dishes of side dishes, and walked out of the room after he was full of wine and food.

The room was under the plywood, and beyond the door was a long corridor in which he had been left with crew when he had come yesterday, but it was empty today.

Bai Cheng was surprised and walked down the corridor to the deck.

At noon, the sky was just right.

After stepping onto the deck, Bai Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

In front of the sculpture is a bronze incense burner, and on both sides of the incense burner are four-color dishes, all of which are the most rare fresh vegetables and fruits on the sea.

Hundreds of people on and off the ship, regardless of their positions, ages and children, all gathered on the deck, with solemn expressions, bowing down and chanting.

Seeing this scene, Bai Cheng was slightly stunned, and casually pulled a crew member over and asked, "Dare to ask this brother, what are you doing here?"

The man turned around and whispered, "Shhh ”

"Nine-eyed Sea God, what is this?" said Bai Chengqi.

Legend has it that ships passing by here will encounter all kinds of misfortunes if they do not worship sincerely, so all the ships passing by will offer all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits to worship this true god. The long-haired woman's hearty voice came out from behind Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng turned around, only to feel that his eyes lit up, only to see that the long-haired woman had changed into a peach-colored long dress, with a peach blossom on her face, with a hint of softness between the heroes and martial arts, she was also a stunning beauty, and she couldn't help but be in a trance, and then smiled and said: "It turned out that Miss Lin is here." ”

On the same day, after he got on the boat, he chatted with the long-haired girl, and knew that this girl's surname was Lin, and she was originally the daughter of a maritime family in Jiaozhou, and this was also the first time to go to sea for training.

Miss Lin didn't answer directly, she glanced Bai Cheng up and down, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to wash up, and you are quite handsome!"

Bai Cheng was slightly embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Miss praised it falsely." ”

Miss Lin blinked and said, "Don't be modest, Miss Ben never praises people, you are indeed a bit extraordinary!"

Bai Cheng was speechless for a while, this Miss Lin didn't treat him as an outsider too much, Rao was quick to react, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Bai Cheng changed his words and asked, "Miss Lin, since everyone is worshiping the sea god, why don't you worship Miss Lin?"

Miss Lin pursed her lips and said, "Worship, why does Miss Ben want to worship? Who knows if this sea god is real or fake?"

"The eldest lady said carefully, you can't talk nonsense, the old lady has seen the nine-eyed sea god with her own eyes, and she can't fake it!" I don't know when the old housekeeper also came over.

Bai Cheng let out a soft "oh", turned to face the old butler and asked, "Mr. Wen, I don't know what this sea god looks like?"

The old housekeeper took a breath and said: "It was still fifty or sixty years ago, the old lady took the boat out to sea, and saw the nine-eyed sea god born in this sea area, the sea god is hundreds of zhang high, the twelve wrists and feet are more than 100 long, and the nine eyes are shining. ”

Bai Cheng frowned and asked, "Old Mr. Wen, why does it sound like a squid?"

The old butler's face turned red, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "What squid? The nine-eyed sea god only has some similarities in appearance with the squid, how can it be called a squid?"

"It was originally a squid, I don't believe you look there!" Miss Lin suddenly pointed to the sculpture on the bow of the boat.

Bai Cheng used his eyes to look at the sculpture on the bow of the ship, and saw the black jade sculpture through the heavy figures.

Although this black jade sculpture is carved a little abstract, it looks like a squid, and he is quite familiar with this squid, which is clearly the nine-eyed king squid he killed the day before yesterday.

When Bai Cheng saw this statue, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, and asked, "Mr. Wen, how do you think that piece of meat tasted a few days ago?"

"It tastes good, firm and tender. The old butler's words were a little strange, and he didn't know why Bai Cheng asked about this.

Bai Cheng smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart, I am afraid that the nine-eyed sea god you worshiped has now entered his stomach.

The old housekeeper only felt that Bai Cheng was inexplicable, and he didn't know what he wanted to say, so he paused and said, "The hour is almost up, you all go with me to the front to worship the sea god." ”

Miss Lin pouted and said, "Grandpa Wen, can I not go?"

The old housekeeper's face was serious, and he said earnestly: "Miss, other things are up to you, but this matter is up to you, if you don't go to worship, I'm afraid of us..."

Miss Lin didn't wait for him to finish, then sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll worship with you." ”

The old housekeeper frowned and said, "The old man didn't force the eldest lady, but..."

As he spoke, his eyes kept sweeping towards Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng was stunned and asked, "Mr. Wen, do you want to worship this sea god in the future?"

The old butler said solemnly: "As long as you are on this boat, you must go to worship the sea god, and there must be no exception." ”

Bai Cheng sighed lightly and said, "This is indeed not a sea god..."

The old butler's face sank, and he said, "Young man, don't talk about it, otherwise you will bring disaster to us, and it is not something you can bear." ”

Bai Cheng shook his head, turned his head to face Miss Lin, and said, "Since Mr. Wen insists on this, I can only say goodbye, Miss Lin, let's say goodbye today, and he will meet again in the future!"

Miss Lin smiled softly and said, "In the vast sea, where else can you go?"

In the laughter of the mayor of Bai Cheng, he flew up, jumped out of the sailboat, and said: "The sky is high and the sea is vast, where can you not live?"

Miss Lin was shocked, but she didn't expect Bai Cheng to leave without stopping at all. Although she guessed that Bai Cheng was armed with martial arts, she didn't expect him to jump off the vast sea.

Everyone on the boat was shocked when they saw Bai Cheng jumping into the sea, some shouted loudly, some were dumbfounded, Miss Lin stomped her feet, pointed at Zhao Xiaoqi, and said, "You still don't want to save people?"

Zhao Xiaoqi had a bitter look on his face and said, "Why is it again..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked out of the boat motionlessly, like a wooden clay sculpture.

Bai Cheng flew out of the sailboat, and his figure slowly fell downward.

Just as he floated to the surface of the sea, suddenly a blue light flashed, and an artifact in the shape of a flat boat suddenly appeared at his feet, slowly lifted him up, and flew into the air.

Bai Cheng stepped on the Nine Tricks Empty Boat, looked back and smiled, and gave a salute to Miss Lin and the others, and then lightly touched his toes.

The Nine Tricks Empty Boat suddenly accelerated, flying towards the north like lightning, leaving only a white line behind it.

The old butler was dumbfounded, standing on the deck, motionless, and only after a while did he react, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and shouted loudly in the direction of Baicheng's departure: "The gods have appeared!

When the boat heard this, they all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The gods have appeared, the gods have appeared." ”

Only Miss Lin stood still, looking at Bai Cheng's distant figure, her eyes showed a strange look, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

In the future, the sailing ship returned to Jiaozhou, and from the mouth of the ship's sailors, there were many deeds of immortals, which were not mentioned later.

......

Leaving Miss Lin and her party, Bai Cheng flew for a few more days before returning to the Jiuyao Islands.

He first went back to the bamboo building on Jidu Island, the doors and windows in the bamboo building were closed, everything was still the same as before he left, and the head of the Fengnuo Dao had obviously not returned.

After Bai Cheng rested for a while, he drove the Nine Tricks to the Taiyin Island Meritorious Workshop to hand over the task of dismantling the magic weapon to Chief Zhou.

More than a year ago, when he left the Jiuyao Islands, he took over the task of dismantling three magic weapons under the hands of Chief Manager Zhou, and they were all completed on the coral reef, and he happened to come back today to hand over the task.

Manager Zhou hadn't seen Bai Cheng for a year, so he was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked him where he went.

Bai Cheng said that he was bored on Jidu Island, so he went to a nearby desert island, and did not come back to hand over the task until he dismantled the three magic weapons a few days ago.

Points in the Merit Workshop are extremely difficult to earn, and even if an ordinary scholar only takes one task, it often takes a year, but a person like Bai Cheng who connects three tasks can complete it in two years, which is considered extremely fast.

Manager Zhou did not have the slightest suspicion, and after checking the results, he immediately recorded the meritorious points for Bai Cheng.

The three missions have a total of 2,100 Merit Points, which, together with the remaining 380 Merit Points from the previous time, make a total of 2,480 Merit Points.

Bai Cheng waved his hand, bought two more great virtue-level relics at the moment, and turned around to leave the Meritorious Workshop. Before leaving, he took on three more tasks, and then turned to leave.

Bai Cheng walked in the sky, returned to Jidu Island in the blink of an eye, and slept happily in the bamboo building.

The next day, he recuperated his spirits, sat cross-legged on the rooftop, took out all the three great deer-level relics, and prepared to refine the three relics together.

After more than a year of sea penance, after absorbing the essence of many sea beasts, his physical body has now cultivated to the realm of his true body without leakage at the peak of qi cultivation, and as long as he makes up for the lack of mental power, he is expected to climb to the realm of the god refining grandmaster.

If an ordinary person wants to enhance the power of the mind, it will naturally be difficult, but he has the help of breaking the jade and returning to the original formula, and he is the best at refining the mental power in the relics and reading stones, and one night's kung fu is enough to withstand the effect of others for a year.

Bai Cheng opened the white jade locket and pinched the relics on his fingertips.

The relics of the Great Virtue class are slightly different from those of the Venerable Class, with a slightly lighter color and a slightly smaller shape.

Bai Cheng took a light breath, twisted the relics with his two fingers, placed them in front of his eyebrows, and slowly sank into the mental world, slowly reciting the "Xuan Ming Dharma Body Returning to One Sutra", introducing the mental power into the mental world, and then running the method of tempering the mind in the Jade Returning to the Yuan Jue, turning this Dao strong horizontal mental power into the power of the mind.

In an instant, the relics turned into a torrent of gold, flowing into the world of the mind and pouring on the glass world.

This golden torrent appeared from the void and was divided into three, and a part of it was poured on top of the glazed world, turning into layers of transparent glaze, expanding the twenty-zhang glazed world inch by inch.

The other part seeped along the gap above the glazed world, turning into a little golden light, condensed in the glaze, and was constantly preyed upon by the purple arowana.

The last part left the glass world and poured on top of the jade house in the void, and as the golden torrent was poured, the jade house continued to expand. (To be continued.) )
