Chapter 418 Ding Sheng
I saw a dilapidated merchant ship swaying with the current, and the mast had long been broken and stuck upside down in the water.
Xiang Xuan's mind swept across the merchant ship, several already soaked corpses stuck in the cabin, and a disgusting rancid smell filled the air.
Although this scene is a little cruel, and the smell is also a little unpleasant, but for Xiang Qi, it is good news, at least it can prove that human beings have been here, but they don't know how far away from the mainland is here.
Xiang Qi guessed that the merchant ship was likely to encounter a stormy weather, and in desperation, he sailed into this natural haven and wanted to dodge, but for some reason, the mast suddenly broke, and the ship was also overturned by the huge waves, and several people on board were trapped in the cabin and drowned.
As for the number of the merchant ship, after Xiang Qi flew around the merchant ship for a week, at the bow of the ship, the words "Little Germanium Island" and "Lin Family" were written prominently, presumably this is a small Germanium Island Lin family merchant ship.
Next, Xiang Qi swept his divine thoughts into the cabin again, and there was nothing else in the cabin except for some gold and silver belongings. Presumably, this cargo ship encountered an accident on the way back.
As for these deceased, they must be all mortals, with no mana at all. Just imagine, if they were immortal cultivators, they wouldn't be trapped in the cabin and drowned.
I don't know if it was a flash of inspiration or idleness, Xiang Qi inadvertently swept his divine thoughts to the bottom of the sea, and something that flickered with a faint fluorescence caught his attention.
The sea water is not deep, and it looks like a dozen feet, only to see Xiang Qi grasp the void, and with a "whoosh" sound, the thing was ingested into his hand.
When I looked closely, it was a token with the word "Purple Spirit" written on it.
This token was held in the palm of his hand, heavy, and extremely cold, but what Xiang Qi cared more about was that it turned out to be a magic weapon.
The existence of magic weapons means that there are immortal cultivators here, and in this caravan, there is actually a magic weapon, which means that they have contact with immortal cultivators.
But then, Xiang Qi did not leave here, but flew to the top of the highest mountain and looked ahead to see if there were any merchant ships passing by.
The appearance of this merchant ship also shows that there is likely to be a route nearby, as long as it is long enough, it is still possible to encounter one or two cargo ships.
The aura here is still very thin, but it can still be done by providing a few months of cultivation.
In order to make life not boring, Xiang Qi made a few crab cages and a few pairs of fishing tackle, and when he was tired of cultivation, he went to the beach to throw a few hooks; However, Xiang Qi's divine thoughts swept around from time to time to ensure that not a single merchant ship was left behind.
Enjoying the fun of fishing, tasting the delicious seafood such as crabs and prawns, Xiang Qi feels that the life of this fisherman is also comfortable and very comfortable, and now he also enjoys this beautiful and happy life.
Three months later, when a merchant ship sailed into Xiang Qi's sight, he almost jumped up excitedly, threw the fishing line in his hand violently, and shot away at the merchant ship.
Under the search of the divine thoughts, the merchant ship was full of mortals, and there was not even a single immortal cultivator, so Xiang Qi had no worries and slowly landed on the deck of the merchant ship.
Perhaps the boss of the ship saw Xiang Qi falling from the sky, and hurriedly gathered the crew, leaving only a few deputies in charge of sailing, all of whom came to the deck, and looked at Xiang Qi as if he was looking at the gods, and immediately knelt down and bowed.
The language spoken by the captain of the ship was an obscure dialect, Xiang Qi frowned, and listened attentively for a quarter of an hour, but still didn't understand a word.
Xiang Qi shook his head helplessly, the boss of the boat thought that the immortal was unhappy, and even kowtowed like garlic.
"Big brother, I can roughly understand their language, so I'll put their language into your spiritual sea. Just when Xiang Qi was at a loss, the voice of asking the sky sounded in the spiritual sea.
Hearing this, Xiang Qi was overjoyed.
After a while, Xiang Qi only felt a spiritual light flickering in the spiritual sea, and instantly mastered this language.
"Ask the immortal to spare the villain's life!" At this moment, the voice of the boat boss also came into Xiang Qi's ears.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt everyone's lives. Xiang Qi was overjoyed, he really had two times to ask the sky, and he really understood the language of the boat boss, and after secretly praising the sky in his heart, he said in a broken foreign language.
"Really?" The boat boss looked surprised, looked up at Xiang Qi, and there were still seven or eight points of disbelief in his eyes.
"Of course it's true!" Xiang Qi said this without doubt, and did not wait for the boat boss to speak, and then said, "You guys stand down, I have a few questions to ask the boat boss." ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and after kowtowing to Xiang Qi to thank him, they hurried back to the cabin.
And the captain of the boat, kneeling there, trembling and holding his knees, not knowing what to say.
"The captain of the boat got up and spoke. Xiang Qi took a few steps forward, grabbed the shoulders of the boat boss with both hands, and pulled him up.
"Just ask if there is anything in the immortals, the villain will definitely know everything, and there will never be the slightest concealment. The boat boss half-arched his body, patted his chest, and said in a big way.
"Okay, where did the boat boss come from and where are you going?" Xiang Qi asked the first question.
"Xiao Lao'er's surname is Ding Mingsheng, a merchant captain of the Lin family caravan on Xiaogermanium Island, a few months ago, he carried a batch of goods to Dagermanium Island, thousands of miles away, and now he is on his way back. The captain of the ship did not hide it, and said fifteen-ten.
Hearing this, Xiang Qi secretly thought to himself, could it be that the Lin family of Little Germanium Island in the mouth of the boat boss was the same as the capsized merchant ship he saw before? This is too coincidental, right? If this is the case, he can follow Ding Sheng to infiltrate the Lin family to find out a thing or two.
"Presumably Captain Ding has also guessed the identity of my immortal cultivator, there are also immortal cultivators on your small germanium island. Xiang Qi touched his chin and said seemingly casually.
"Yes!" Ding Sheng said categorically.
"Since there is, Xiang has another question to ask Captain Ding. The Lin family just hired immortal cultivators to transport goods, so why let you mortals transport goods. After all, mortals are like duckweed in this vast sea, and if they are not careful, they will be swallowed by the sea. Xiang Qi's mind came up with those few dead wets that sank into the sea, and his heart was full of doubts, a cultivator's storage bag was the best medium to transport goods, if he could really hire an immortal cultivator, it would be much more convenient and safer than using a cargo ship to transport it.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't afford it!" Ding Sheng's face was full of helplessness.
"Oh?" Xiang Qi let out a meaningful "oh".
"The immortals don't know, hiring immortal cultivators, which can we mortals do. Not to mention the expensive employment money, it is extremely difficult to get to know each other. Ding Sheng paused, and then explained, "Although the mortals of Xiaogermanium Island live with immortal cultivators, mortals live in low-lying places near the sea, while immortal cultivators open caves on the top of the mountain, without the permission of the city lord, how dare mortals go up the mountain to invite them." Besides, hiring a Superior Immortal who is at the fifth or sixth level of Qi refining, the consumption of spirit stones in just one month is more than a hundred. And the employer, the Lin family, may not be able to earn a hundred spirit stones a year, so the average small family can't afford to hire immortals. ”
After listening to Ding Sheng's explanation, Xiang Qi nodded frequently, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Captain Ding, is Little Germanium Island still far from here?"
Ding Sheng thought about it for a while, and then said, "There are probably two months to go." ”
