Chapter 173 The Sea
After walking south for several days, the two came to a plain called Fangmaping, and further on, there was an endless sea.
This plain is backed by mountains and the sea, and there are pastures everywhere, and there are many herders raising horses here, and as far as the eye can see, the coast is full of galloping horses.
There is a large market near the sea, where thousands of people live, and as one of the few plains on the coastline, there is also a wharf leading to Qiongzhou.
Because Wang Wang and Xiao Hei were too swaggering, Zi Yi asked Wang Wang and Xiao Hei to go to Qiongzhou as companions, and they came to a mountain top, Wang Wang jumped into the sea from the top of the mountain, and swam quickly in the direction of Qiongzhou, while Xiao Hei flew high and followed Wang Wang.
"Let's go, go to the dock and wait for the boat. Purple also walked to the market and beckoned to Akizawa.
Qiu Ze was puzzled: "Qiongzhou is not far from here, you can ride Xiao Hei with me, why do you want to take a boat?"
Zi Yi said in a low voice: "This sea is not as simple as you imagined, I don't want to say more, you can just follow me." ”
Qiu Ze had no choice but to follow Zi Yi into the market, this market is not much different from Wu County, full of fishermen selling fish, Qiu Ze saw those tanned fishermen, and a sense of intimacy rose.
After walking around the market for a long time, Zi Yi bought some dry food and took Qiu Ze to the dock, found a small teahouse and went to a secluded room on the second floor.
Zi Yi poured a cup of tea and tasted it carefully, Qiu Ze came to the window, looked at the many ships docked on the edge of the dock, and wondered: "There are many ships going to Qiongzhou here, let's just go with one ship by the way, what are you waiting for here?"
Zi Yi shook his head: "These boats are for mortal use, we are cultivators, and we can't take their boats." ”
"We're human too, so what's wrong?"
Zi Yi looked at Qiu Ze like an idiot and asked, "Before you went up the mountain, did you ever hear that there were cultivators in the world?"
Qiu Ze shook his head, his knowledge was profound, but he never knew about the existence of cultivators, if it wasn't for Xin Yibo's sudden appearance, he might not have known that there were cultivators in this world in his life.
"No matter what the strength of a cultivator, he will live longer than a mortal, and for a cultivator, a mortal is like an ant, in order to maintain the laws of the world, under normal circumstances, a cultivator will not easily show his mana in front of mortals, nor will he participate in the battle between mortals, so most cultivators will dress themselves up as ordinary people when they travel in the world, and there are very few cultivators in this world who know about cultivators. Saying that, Zi Yi asked Qiu Ze suspiciously, "Didn't your master tell you this?"
Qiu Ze shook his head: "The rules of the Qiyun Guan Sect are strict, if the disciples under the sect do not have the strength of the fifth-level spiritual cultivation, they will not be allowed to go down the mountain, if it weren't for the fact that you Devouring Sect are making trouble in the human world, I don't know how many more young people it will take to come to the human world." ”
Zi Yi nodded and said: "You have to remember that unless you reach the point of last resort, you can't exert your magic power in front of mortals, although we cultivators are also from mortals, but in fact, we are people from two worlds, and cultivators can't disturb the order of mortals, I said, for cultivators, mortals are like ants, if we make a move on mortals, mortals in this world will have perished a long time ago." ”
Qiu Ze nodded secretly, not realizing that Zi Yi had said a lot of "we" subtly, and after thinking about it, Qiu Ze asked, "Since you said that cultivators can't interfere with the order of mortals, then why does the Devouring Sect want to enter the Central Plains?"
Zi Yi looked at Qiu Ze again with idiot-like eyes, and said: "What does it have to do with mortals when they enter the Central Plains? As I said, cultivators and mortals are people from two worlds, and we only entered the Central Plains to seize the status of cultivators in the Central Plains, not to kill mortals indiscriminately. ”
"Then why are you killing people on the border, and you are using the bones of cavalry to refine necromantic cavalry?"
Zi Yi asked rhetorically, "How many sects are there in the Central Plains?"
Qiu Ze didn't understand what Zi Ye meant by asking, but he still spoke: "There are many sects in the Central Plains, and hundreds of schools of thought contend, and there are one view, two temples and thirteen sects with great power. ”
"Well, one view, two temples and thirteen sects, don't you know what the identity of Huangjue Temple is?"
Qiu Ze had heard Xin Lan briefly mention the Huangjue Temple, the disciples of the Huangjue Temple, all from the royal family, the Huangjue Temple will select some people from the royal family who have the talent of cultivating truth to enter the Huangjue Temple to cultivate, and then protect the empire, which is an important sect to protect the empire.
Akisawa said: "Huangjue Temple is a sect that guards the empire. ”
"Yes! Huangjue Temple is a sect that guards the empire, and the disciples of Huangjue Temple are all from the royal family, and these royal disciples with poor talent will be sent to the world, no longer surnamed Zhu, but with other surnames, and become generals in the army, think about it, even if you don't use mana, relying on martial arts alone, cultivators can also cause harm to mortals, right? Not only did they go against the original intention of the cultivators, but they also taught some low-level martial arts to the Ming army, so killing the Ming army was equivalent to killing half of the cultivators, and killing innocents indiscriminately against the Ming army was considered to be a matter of course! After all, it was Huangjue Temple that first violated the original intention of the cultivators. ”
Qiu Ze didn't know anything about the general situation in the Central Plains, and he didn't know how to speak, so he didn't answer anymore.
Zi Yi continued: "The sea is unpredictable, if we share a boat with mortals, if we encounter a huge wave, we can still escape, what will those mortals do? If it is you, can you save it?"
"Of course I have to save it!"
If you use your magic power to save mortals, mortals will know about the existence of cultivators, and disturb the order of the world, if you don't save them, they will all die, and you feel uncomfortable, so it is better to take a boat yourself. ”
Qiu Ze nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "Then are we going to find a ship ourselves?"
Zi Yi waved his hand: "No, I'll live a good life, there is a ship dedicated to carrying cultivators to dock today, we just have to wait." ”
After saying that, Zi Yi closed his eyes and began to absorb the aura.
Qiu Ze felt bored, so he sat by the window and looked at the sea, although he could walk, but the injuries on his body were too serious to heal in a short time, absorbing too much spiritual energy and his body could not bear it, but it would aggravate the injury.
At night, a gust of fishy sea breeze poured into Qiu Ze's nose, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at the coast, and saw a big ship covered in pitch black slowly approaching, although this ship and the ship moored near the dock looked no different, but Qiu Ze still knew that this ship was the ship that Zi Yi was waiting for, because as soon as this ship arrived at the dock, it immediately filled with the smell of elixir,
"Smell it, right? Mortals can't smell the elixir. Shiyi said to Akizawa, stood up, walked out of the teahouse, and slowly walked towards the ship.
The ship was a twenty-odd long ship, like a behemoth in the dark, and when it approached the dock, the ship was lit up with lights, which instantly illuminated the entire dock.
Closer away, Akisawa saw that the ship had many dark spots, and there were still signs of damage on the sampan, and he didn't know how many years he had been sailing at sea.
After the big ship stopped, a gate suddenly appeared on the hull, and a huge wooden board was stretched out from inside the door and placed on the dock, connecting the big ship and the dock.
A three-foot-tall dwarf walked out of the ship, came to the dock, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The guest officer has been waiting for a long time! The big ship has arrived, please board the ship immediately, and leave for Qiongzhou in half an hour!"
Hearing the gnome's words, hundreds of people gathered around, and the dwarf stood in front of the plank, shouting, "Don't squeeze!
A big man asked, "Boat family, how many silver taels do you want to go to Qiongzhou?"
The dwarf replied, "There is no need for silver taels, this ship is carrying destined people!"
The big man was stunned, laughed a few times, bumped into the person in front of him, and came to the dwarf, the dwarf took out a huge pearl from his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand, and when the big man walked by, he looked at the pearl in his hand, the pearl was not abnormal, he stretched out a hand to stop the big man's footsteps.
"Slow down, this strong man, you have nothing to do with this ship, please leave quickly!"
The big man was stunned for a moment, his eyes were not good, and he shouted, "What did you say?"
"Get out of the way. ”
A crisp voice came, and a thin woman passed by the big man, and the dwarf did not stop her.
Qiu Ze suddenly realized that when the thin woman passed by the dwarf, a slight mana fluctuation suddenly came from the pearl, it turned out that the pearl was used to distinguish between cultivators and mortals.
Seeing that the dwarf did not stop the woman, but stopped him, the big man shouted: "Could it be that the so-called destined person is a woman?"
The dwarf's face remained unchanged, and he said, "You don't need to know, this ship won't carry you." ”
The big man was so angry that he burst into muscles, and from behind him, more than a dozen men surrounded the dwarf, looking at the unresponsive pearl in his hand, the dwarf shook his head.
"I'm going to take your boat, what's going on?"
"That's right, old boy, get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way, or Lao Tzu will give you a good look!"
With the help of his companions, the big man clenched his fists and put it on the dwarf's face: "If you don't want to die, make way for Lao Tzu!"
The dwarf frowned, the big man thought he was scared, and he wanted to demonstrate, so he punched out, only to see the dwarf dodge very lightly, and flew and kicked the big man in the chin.
The dwarf's movements were so fast that before the big man could see it clearly, he let out a vague cry and flew out several feet away.
No one thought that this little dwarf would have this kind of kung fu, the companions of the big man, you look at me, I look at you, so he put a few cruel words in his senses, and helped the big man to leave quickly.
After this farce, everyone knew that the dwarf was a character that was not easy to mess with, and they slowly squirmed in line one by one, until in the end, only a few dozen of the hundreds of people managed to get on the boat.
After Akisawa and Murasaki got on board, they found a quiet place on the deck and sat down, and with a loud shout from the gnome, the ship slowly set off towards the endless sea.
