Chapter 21: The King of the Sea Beast (1)
The king of sea beasts
mentioned earlier that Shangguan Rui took Xiao Yunlong to go to sea to find passing ships and return to the isolated island to save Miss Murong.
Xiao Yunlong flew into the clouds, and after a while, it was far away from the isolated island, and Shangguan Rui asked it to fly in only one direction, because the vast sea was afraid that it would lose its way. Xiao Yunlong was young and strong and flew for nearly an hour, flying over the vast sea was such a pleasant and exciting thing, but Shangguan Rui had no intention of enjoying himself, and only focused on the blue sea that was illuminated by the sun like countless scales.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally saw a thing the size of a fly's head on the distant sea, Shangguan Rui's vision was very wide and saw that it seemed to be a ship, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and immediately commanded Xiao Yunlong to fly over, and gradually saw the shadow of a lonely sailboat, which turned out to be a fishing boat that went out to sea to fish, Shangguan Rui was even more relieved and busy with Xiao Yunlong docking at the side of the boat.
This move has already alarmed the fishermen on board, who are two people, one old and one young.
"It's hard, is it a kraken? It's all because we often come here to fish, and we offend the gods, so we have to be punished. In fact, we only fish for food and clothing, and we are never insatiable, so can't you open the net?" the boy was a little incoherent in panic.
And the old man was already on guard with a sharp harpoon in his hand.
"Old man, don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions here, I just want to ask you to make it convenient to save my friends who are on the next isolated island. Shangguan Rui saw the two of them at a loss, and immediately clasped his fists and said politely.
"Who are you, and what is the matter with the friend who saved you?" The old man saw that Shangguan Rui was extraordinary and polite, thinking that he was a poor family, and the other party would not make any crooked attempts, and the other party's attitude was respectful and not half malicious, and the hands that clenched the harpoon and the tense heart gradually relaxed at the same time.
"This matter is a long story, in Xia Nai Wenshi sent Guan Rui, because of the conflict with the Sea Dragon Gang was pursued by the other party's clipper, unfortunately encountered a typhoon on the way to swallow up our warship, we were washed by the waves to a lonely island and luckily picked up a life, but the ship has been destroyed and there is no way to survive, and finally fortunately Xiaoyunlong helped to come here to ask for rescue. Shangguan Rui explained the situation succinctly and clearly.
"The thieves of the Sea Dragon Gang have always been tyrannical and evil in our East China Sea, and we, the poor people who make a living from fishing, have also suffered from it, but I didn't expect Gongzi to be poisoned by him, so how can I not help. Shangguan Rui said sincerely, the old man naturally had no suspicions, and the fishermen in the nearby area were not oppressed by the Sea Dragon Gang, and they even had a kind of hatred for the enemy.
"You said that you are the famous Wenshi faction Shangguan Rui!" The young man was surprised when he heard Shangguan Rui's words, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"This eldest brother is really too exalted, and he is an unknown junior in the Wenshi faction, how can he talk about the four words of fame. Shangguan Rui's humble statement is tantamount to admitting the matter.
"Shaoxia must be tired all the way, if you don't dislike it, get on the boat and drink a cup of tea first. The old man knew Shangguan Rui's identity and immediately warmly invited him to board the ship.
Xiao Yunlong can understand human language, and landed on the ship honestly and unceremoniously, after all, it was young and flew too long all the way, so tired that it lazily lay on the deck to rest.
At this time, the young man warmly entertained the distinguished guests with a cup of tea, and saw that the cup in his hand was dilapidated, and the edge of the cup was full of tea stains and a small corner was missing.
Shangguan Rui was informal, politely took the cup and drank it all, he relied on coconut water to quench his thirst for the past two days, and at this moment the tea has a different flavor, but he didn't expect that the usually insignificant cup of tea could be so sweet, and he sighed a little in his heart.
The old man looked at Xiao Yunlong carefully and said in surprise: "Long Xiu has been a horned dragon for five hundred years, and a thousand years for Ying Long, this little guy must be the essence of the dragon Ying Long, this is a rare ancient beast that is rare in a thousand years, and it is really a blessing to be able to get Ying Long's help." "The old man knows that the dragon has always been a symbol of luck and mascot, and the joy on his face is definitely more exciting than catching a hundred catties of big fish.
"Uncle is right, it is indeed a blessing in disguise to be able to get Xiao Yunlong's help. Shangguan Rui found that this legendary divine beast was not so respectful in his short time with Xiao Yunlong, on the contrary, he felt that Xiao Yunlong was like a carefree, innocent and lively little naughty boy, and his temper was almost human, if he didn't have its help, he might really have to be trapped on a desert island for the rest of his life, so he couldn't be higher or lower than Duan Xiyun, and he didn't have a chance with the highest realm of the Dao, and he was extremely grateful to Xiao Yunlong in his heart.
"The dragon has always been a symbol of luck and auspiciousness, and it is rare to see the defendant in the past thousand years, and we will definitely go for a lifetime of good luck when we see it. "The innocent thoughts, the innocent words, coming out of the mouth of this simple boy who grew up in the ******, did not make people feel the slightest absurdity.
The old man saw that his son's honest face showed a kind of luck, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said with words that he had said more than a thousand times, and taught: "Be a man and keep to yourself, work diligently, luck will definitely accompany you, if you are lazy and take luck to get something for nothing, it is inevitable that you will be unlucky, and you will eventually achieve nothing." ”
"Yes, yes, you don't have to worry about this anymore, Dad, the child already knows. "The old father's teaching, the young man is afraid that his ears have heard the cocoon, and an honest person like him is forced to change the topic under the pretext, "I see that Shangguan Shaoxia is eager to save people, please explain the direction of the isolated island, and we will set off immediately." ”
"Go straight to the southeast. Shangguan Rui pointed into the distance.
The young man nodded and pulled up the sails that he had sewn again, he was strong and effortless, "Today is the northwest wind, which is blowing in the direction that the young man is pointing to, and seeing Ying Long is really going well and smooth sailing." ”
Xiao Yunlong just flew more than two hundred miles in one breath, and a dilapidated fishing boat, even if it sailed with the breeze, was as slow as a snail, when would it be able to return to the isolated island.
Shangguan Rui was a little anxious in his heart, "At the current speed, it may not be possible to reach the isolated island after dark." "Every cultivator has an aura that belongs to his own nature, some talented people, when their own aura is cultivated to a certain extent, they will derive another aura that is born with their own aura, Shangguan Rui's aura in his body belongs to the water phase, water can generate wind, a genius like him has already cultivated the aura of the wind phase in his body, and now he has been able to master it proficiently, he pointed to the recipe, "Wen Shi Secret Technique? ”
The spell was activated, the wind swooped in on the face, and the sails were blown up by the strong wind like the muscles of an adult's arm, as if to foretell that it was full of power at this moment, and the fishing boat immediately sped forward, and the bow of the ship opened the waves like scissors in the sea as magnificent as blue silk.
"The people of the Wenshi faction are really powerful. The old man couldn't help but marvel when he saw this old friend who had accompanied him to sea for more than 40 years, and had never tried to sail with such spirit as he did now.
The young man was even more happy to see Shangguan Rui show his might, if it weren't for the fear of disturbing the other party's spell casting, he would have already cheered out at this moment.
The fishing boat was moving forward like a seabird, sailing for about an hour, and it was estimated that it had already traveled most of the way, although it was a small spell, but the time was too long, and Shangguan Rui's spiritual power was also consumed excessively, so he had stopped and crossed his knees to breathe.
"Stop!" the old man exclaimed suddenly, coldly.
Shangguan Rui opened his eyes vigilantly, and before he could ask, the old man had already spoken first, "Ahead is an area infested with huge sea beasts, and our ancestors have warned us that we must not break in. ”
Shangguan Rui's eyebrows squeezed together slightly when he heard this, and from the old man's slurred speech just now due to panic, it could be seen that the sea area in front was definitely unusual. He looked into the distance, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky were gathering, and the dull thunder came intermittently, and the huge waves in the sea in the distance were monstrous, and the waves were hidden and turbulent, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, always feeling that everything that happened today was too smooth and inconsistent with this unpredictable and dangerous sea, and the ominous premonition hidden in his heart was finally about to be fulfilled.
"The sea ahead is indeed impossible to go, the old man has already seen some brave and adventurous peers enter that sea area, but there is no survivor, blindly entering is undoubtedly nine deaths. Seeing Shangguan Rui's expression, the old man felt a little embarrassed in his heart, he himself had lived a long time, even if he was buried in the sea, he was not much afraid, but how could he let him take risks with his young son.
Shangguan Rui understood that the old man was a warm-hearted person, and he also knew his difficulties, so he didn't force it, he saw that Xiao Yunlong might have been in Jia for a long time, and he was a little bored pacing back and forth, his heart moved slightly, "This place is not far from the isolated island, Xiao Yunlong should be able to remember the direction." Immediately walked to Xiao Yunlong's side and gently touched his head, "Xiao Yunlong has something to ask for below." ”
Xiao Yunlong was like a tame kitten, rubbing his head affectionately against his master's palm and nodding his head happily.
"It's not far from the island, please can you go and get that girl to this ship. "Shangguan Rui didn't want to embarrass Xiao Yunlong until he had to, but now he has reached a dilemma.
When Xiao Yunlong heard this, he shook his head very reluctantly, and made a loud noise to express strong resistance.
The demon beast also has its own self-esteem and its own persistence, not to mention that it is a divine beast, it is difficult for a gentleman to be strong, and Shangguan Rui no longer insists on it, so he has to find another way, and he is thinking hard.
Suddenly, a lonely boat came with the waves in the distance, and at the same time, a rough man's voice came from the boat, "Is it Uncle Shuisheng?"
"It turned out to be Xiaohai. The old man could tell from the figure and voice of the man on the bow of the boat in the distance that it was an acquaintance.
The boat gradually got closer and saw that it was also a simple fishing boat, and there were two people on the boat, an old man and a young man, and the dark and sturdy young man spoke with joy, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
The old man on the other boat jumped on the boat and patted the old man Huang Shuisheng on the shoulder, "Old Huang, I haven't seen you for a while, and my body still looks so tough." He looked at the strange but outstanding young man on the boat, and was a little surprised, "I wonder what kind of wind blew you to this sea?"
"Indeed, we were blown here by a gust of wind invited by Shangguan Shaoxia. The old man Huang Shuisheng told Shangguan Rui the ins and outs of asking for help.
"It turned out to be Shangguan Shaoxia of the Wenshi faction, disrespectful and disrespectful. "Old man Yang San always feels very familiar when he hears the name of Shangguan Rui?
"Shangguan Rui, Shangguan Rui, are you the proud son of Shangguan Rui of the East China Sea?" Yang Hai, the third son of Yang, also followed, and when he heard the name of Shangguan Rui, his eyes lit up with ecstasy.
"That's right, what you are looking at is Shangguan Shaoxia, the proud son of the East China Sea. Huang Shuisheng's son Huang Ping had already helped him admit his identity in a high-profile manner before Shangguan Rui could speak.
"Everyone has lifted up, and the name of the proud son of the East China Sea is really well deserved. Shangguan Rui humbly hugged his fists.
"Why should you be modest, I think there is no one in the East China Sea who is more suitable for the title of proud son of the East China Sea than you. "The old man Yang San never trusts people easily, but he is convinced of Shangguan Rui's identity, although he doesn't know the strength of the other party, but with this amazing face in front of him, look at the East China Sea and ask who can match him......
