Chapter 62: Out to Sea
Several people chose their own rooms, Zhang Ye naturally chose with Hua Xiaoyan, and the young man who asked Zhang Ye frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and he kept following Zhang Ye and chose the room adjacent to Zhang Ye. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The room was simply furnished, in addition to a bed, there were two benches, Zhang Ye looked in the room for a few moments, and then turned around and went out.
Suddenly, the hull of the boat shook, and Zhang Ye's body lost his balance and almost fell to the groundβthis is the start of the boat.
Someone came into the barn and knocked on the door one by one, beckoning everyone to the deck.
With the addition of the six people who came before, there were thirteen in total, and all of them were on the deck. In the middle of the deck is a protruding stone platform, embedded with spirit stones, with flashes of spiritual light, and a man in black standing aside to manipulate it.
There were two people standing next to the man in black, both of them were half-old, their hair was gray, wrinkles were looming on their faces, but their eyes were all attentive, Xun Qiu was standing beside one person, pointing at Zhang Ye and the others and saying something.
The old man who listened to Xun Qiu's words was also dressed in black, with a big round face and a medium build, and he looked quite kind. He followed Xun Qiu's gaze and looked at Zhang Ye and the others one by one, the expression on his face was first relaxed, and then gradually became gloomy and ugly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied.
The other old man was also dressed in black, with a stern expression, and glanced at Zhang Ye and the others, but his face remained unchanged at all. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Listen to me." β
"Now that you're all on board, you must know it all. Although they are all cumbersome words, I still have to say it again, so that you can live in peace in your hearts. β
"The old man's name is Lan Zhuo, and the person next to him is called Lan Gaoyuan, and they are all people who have left Lan Island. As you know, we are rich in barite from Lan Island, which is an indispensable material for refining magic weapons and arranging formations, so we have also made a lot of spare money over the years. β
Lan Gaoyuan smiled gently at everyone, but there seemed to be a hint of worry in his eyes.
Lan Zhuo said: "As you know, this sea is never calm, and we don't hide it from you, but our merchant ship was indeed hit hard and suffered a lot of losses when we came, so we asked you to escort you." You only need to escort us to the island of Delilan, and you will naturally benefit from it. β
......
Zhang Ye listened for a while, and finally understood the situation, the people in charge of the ship were two old men, who came out of Lan Island. When the merchant ship arrived, it encountered pirates, and the monks on board suffered too many losses, so they had to ask for an outsider to escort them.
The two old men each said something, and someone replied a few words, and that was the end of it. After that, the invited guards chatted with each other, and the scene gradually became lively.
The young man kept pulling Zhang Ye to speak, and the topic was always about pirates, wind and waves, etc., and his interest was extremely high. Zhang Ye replied to him, walked out towards the side of the ship, looked at the coastline that was gradually moving away, looked at the blue sky and the sea, and was faintly excited in his heart.
No wonder there are always people on the beach who say they want to conquer the sea. This endless sky and sea, just looking at it, makes people feel excited.
The young man beside him suddenly lost his voice as he spoke, Zhang Ye turned his head to look and saw that he was also looking up at the sea, looking excited, like a child.
Zhang Ye turned around and saw that the two old men had left the deck. There were still a few people left on the deck, but they were all the guards who followed Zhang Ye and some people in black, and the people in black must have been people from Lilan Island, and they were talking and laughing together, holding each other's shoulders, and it was extremely harmonious. The guards who had come before had all gone back to their rooms.
Zhang Ye faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he turned around and continued to look at the magnificent scenery of the sea and sky, listening to the sound of the waves, and gradually put this matter aside in his heart.
When the sun was shining and the people on the deck were scattered, Zhang Ye walked to the room with the young man beside him.
When he reached the lower floor, Zhang Ye saw Xun Qiu standing at the door from a distance, was stunned for a moment, broke away from the youth, and followed Xun Qiu.
It turned out that Xun Qiu also lived in the lower floor. Zhang Ye entered the room and found that Hua Xiaoyan was already in the room, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Xun Qiu said: "The situation is a little different from what I thought. β
"You have all seen that in addition to the people from Lilan Island, there are also six people on the ship who are also Zhuji monks, but when I inquired about the news before, I had never heard of the existence of these six people. β
Zhang Ye asked, "Did they deliberately hide these six people?"
Xun Qiu frowned and said, "I am also wondering about this matter." If they were really deliberately hiding the news of these six people, for something, it seemed completely unnecessary for them to do so. If I hadn't deliberately hidden the news, how could I have left out the six of them?"
Hua Xiaoyan smiled and said: "You just don't want to admit it, you didn't do this well!"
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Xun Qiu's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said, "This ...... How to ......"
The two laughed, and Xun Qiu was even more embarrassed.
After laughing, Zhang Ye suddenly understood why he felt wrong before, and asked, "Since there are already six foundation building monks on the ship, what are you doing with so many Qi cultivators?"
Xun Qiu smiled proudly this time, "If not, how can you get on the boat?"
Both looked at him in bewilderment.
Xun Qiu said proudly: "When I inquired about the news a few days ago, I recognized Nalan Gaoyuan as the person in charge of the ship, and when I came out in the morning, I saw him getting off the boat. β
"This old man can only practice qi cultivation," Xun Qiu said, "I followed him quietly, and when I saw him enter an inn, I followed up to find out that the ship was going to leave in the morning, but at this moment he wanted to recruit guards at the inn." β
I offered myself, and he looked at me a few times and agreed. He also wanted to recruit another person, and I thought that you might not have a chance to get on the ship yet, so I told him that I still had a companion to bring with him, and he thought for a while, and he agreed. β
Zhang Ye's face was full of surprise and asked, "Isn't this too easy?"
Xun Qiu frowned, "Originally, I thought that he really lacked manpower on this merchant ship, and he was going to sea soon, maybe because of the urgency of time, he hired me so rashly." But now it seems that it is not so simple. β
Zhang Ye asked again, "Then why are you only looking for Qi cultivators?" β
Xun Qiu glared at Zhang Ye and said, "At that time, where can I go to find the foundation building monk?"
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, the three of them didn't stay in this port for a few days, where did they go to find the foundation monk?
Xun Qiu continued: "So I just found a few on the side of the street. I thought that this old man would lose his temper and drive everyone away, but he didn't expect to stay. β
As he spoke, the three of them frowned, which was really weird.
