Chapter 031: Ascending the Immortal Ship
Half a year later, on the blue sea, on an ordinary beach, more and more people began to gather. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although there were more and more people, no one spoke, and very few people even moved. Those who arrive early, before dawn, appear on the beach. However, until the evening, there is a constant influx of people into the beach.
It was just getting dark, and a small black dot appeared on the horizon in the distance. Sharp-eyed people spot it immediately. Someone couldn't hold back and began to shout: "Dengxian boat! Dengxian boat is coming." ”
There was a small commotion in the crowd.
But many more people still stood motionless, like stone statues and wood carvings.
Hu Jin was wearing a black tights, a black hat on his head, and a black tulle hanging in front of him.
This outfit is the same as when I teleported half a year ago.
Most of the people on this beach are dressed like this.
He came early, so he was almost at the front.
He was the first to see the ship, but he didn't say anything.
He was only a little taken aback, the speed of the ship was too fast. More than the speed of any ship on the planet, so to speak.
It didn't take long for the ship to appear on the surface of the sea miles away. It was a building ship. The waterline is low, and the part that is exposed to the water is divided into at least three layers. If you add the two layers in the stern, there are five layers.
The boat came to a halt in the distance.
This is not a pier, although the waterline of the ship is low, but after all, it is a big ship, and it is close to the limit of land.
Soon, the small boats were lowered from the big boats, and a hundred and ten big men boarded the small boats and rowed to the beach.
When they appeared on the beach, there was another small commotion.
However, the commotion subsided with great speed, and a loud voice sounded: "Those who want to pay tribute to Xiandao, go directly to the boat." ”
Hu Jin immediately moved and stepped on the nearest boat. There were more than a dozen people like him, each on a small boat, and a few were empty.
In each small boat, a strong man was left behind, and they were rowed towards the big boat.
"The rest of the people, it's still the old rule, take a hundred. There are more than a thousand people here, and four wheels are enough. But those who lose, there is still a chance to challenge the winner. Now come and draw lots......"
As he spoke, there were ten strong men, dropping something on the ground. With a flash of light, ten rune rings appeared on the beach.
Everyone automatically lined up in a line of ten and the draw began.
Hu Jin knew that on every ship, there was at least one Immortal Island Elder Zhuji in charge. Among that group of strong men, there were at least a dozen of them, who were Qi refining cultivators.
The coastline of the blue ocean is very long, and the same thing is happening in at least a hundred places. At this time of year, pick once.
If the tribute can satisfy the elder, they will directly get a place to go to Immortal Island.
If you're not satisfied, you'll have to go back to the beach and participate in the audition.
Like them, it is very rare for more than a dozen people to pay tribute at a time, and generally seven or eight people are considered a lot. And among these dozen or so people, if there are two or three tributes, it can enter the elder's eyes, even if it is very good.
The rowing man had a lot of strength, and it didn't take long for him to row the boat next to the boat. Hu Jin climbed to the deck along the soft ladder dropped on the big ship.
The deck is made of fine wood and is cleanly washed. After Hu Jin and his party went to the deck, they were led to the aft room.
As soon as you enter, it is a wide hall, more than ten meters wide and twenty or thirty meters deep. In the middle of the main hall, where they walked, was covered with a thick carpet.
In the depths of the main hall is a small three-story platform, on which is placed a large chair in the shape of a dragon chair. A monk leaned on it with a big grin, and two ladies next to him, one was gently fanning, and the other was feeding him spiritual fruits.
Around the platform, several incense burners are placed, and incense is lit in the furnace, and the aroma spreads throughout the main hall. An indescribable frivolous aura lingered around everyone.
"Bring it up. ”
After Hu Jin and the others saluted, the monk said impatiently.
Immediately, someone like Xiao Shami walked over from the side, took the things handed by Hu Jin, and walked onto the platform.
"Thirty spirit stones, a piece of medium-grade hundred-year-old lightning strike wood, weighing three catties, and a delicate jade pendant, which has the effect of calming the mind. After a few cases, Xiao Shami read the name of the gift on the lid of the box crisply.
"Oh, show me the Ning Shen Jade Pendant. The great monk sat up, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the box flew in front of him. The lid of the box opened, and the spirit stone, lightning strike wood, and Ning Shen jade pendant appeared in front of him, within reach.
"What's your name?" the great monk looked at Hu Jin for the first time.
Ding Ran. Hu Jin replied indifferently. This name is indeed a person, and he is a killer in the Blue Ocean Empire jointly controlled by the Five Elements Gate, the Demon Gate, and the Sword Gate.
He wanted to go to the fairy island on the blue sea, and these things were all tributes he had prepared.
This man is mysterious and has just risen for less than a year. He is ruthless and does not leave a living mouth. No one knows the specific situation of him, not only his physical appearance, but also whether he is a man or a woman, and how old he is.
He robbed Hu Jin and was killed casually. Hu Jin saw that his identity was available, so he took it and used it.
Hu Jin's indifferent tone, firstly, was in line with Ding Zhiran's identity, and secondly, he did not put the monk in his eyes.
At this time, he was already refining qi at the ninth level. Even if you don't sneak attack and don't use the formation, you can easily defeat Li Jianyang at the beginning.
The great monk in front of him is only as strong as Li Jianyang, and he is a monk in the early stage of foundation building. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Your tribute, the Sprinkle family likes it very much. You don't need the spirit stone, you can hold it useful. As he spoke, he threw the spirit stone back.
Hu Jin took it easily, the big monk looked very satisfied, picked up the jade pendant again, and threw it to the maid who played the fan: "This thing is very good, you can take it." ”
He picked up the lightning strike wood and put it in his Qiankun bag: "Just make a magic weapon for the Sprinkle family." ”
Finally, he picked up a jade slip, paused slightly in his hand, and threw it to Hu Jindao: "This is your identity jade slip." When you arrive at Dengxian Island, you don't need to do anything else. ”
With that, he beckoned, and another small novice approached.
"Take him to cabin 1. The great monk waved his hand.
"Yes. Xiao Shami walked out of the main hall with Hu Jin, walked to the front deck, and went down to the first floor. After passing through the wide walkway, we came to the stern. Along the way, he was introduced to the dining room, the public bath, the common room, and so on.
Cabin 1 is just below the main hall and is much smaller. However, there is also a small bathroom, a quiet room, a bedroom, and a living room. On this ship, it can be regarded as luxurious.
"It was cleaned every day. Three meals a day will be delivered by someone, but you can also go to the public dining room. ”
"I know, there's Master Lao. Hu Jin stuffed a silver ticket into the hand of the little novice. The silver ticket of the empire can also be used on Dengxian Island. Xiao Shami is still an ordinary person, and it is too ostentatious to give the spirit stone.
Xiao Shami looked at the large amount of silver ticket in his hand, and his face immediately bloomed, and he withdrew with thanks.
Hu Jin shook his head, the great monk looked like a fake monk, probably because he liked this kind of dress, or it had something to do with the exercises he practiced. Unexpectedly, his subordinates were also a group of fake monks.
However, it has nothing to do with him.
He went straight to the ashram and began to meditate and pranayama. Tianhe specially activated a generation of hosts, infiltrated the hall upstairs, and began to inquire about the news.
I don't know if it's the carelessness of the great monk, or the limited conditions for boarding the immortal boat, and the spirit stones are not enough. The main hall's defensive formation was not activated, and Tianhe's tentacles easily penetrated it.
In a short time, the tributes of more than a dozen people were checked. There were three more lucky people, like Hu Jin, who were qualified for tribute and were directly left on the Dengxian ship. The rest were sent back to the beach to join the race for 100 places.
In the main hall, tranquility was restored again.
"Master, that Ding Xuanran, do you want the disciple to be him?" Xiao Shami, who had been in charge of delivering tributes in the main hall, suddenly said gloomily.
The great monk glanced at him and said, "Little Pony, do you know how many people die every year on these hundred immortal ships?"
The little novice was stunned, obviously not expecting the great monk to suddenly say such a thing.
"The people competing for 100 places on the beach, which one is not the martial arts heroes, high-ranking officials, and dignitaries of the Blue Ocean Empire...... Even born royal. In order to compete for 100 places, hundreds of people have to die. A hundred immortal ships will kill tens of thousands of people. The rest, almost all of them were wounded, even the first hundred who were qualified to board the ship. ”
"I know what you want to say...... "The big monk waved his hand at Xiao Shami: "You want to say, these people are originally cannon fodder, right?" However, among the 100 immortal ships, a 'Immortal Master' like you who has entered the Qi Refining Period will always fall one hundred and eighty. ”
Glancing at the stunned little novice, the great monk continued to talk eloquently: "Even an elder like me usually loses three or five years a year. ”
"The waters of the Blue Ocean Empire are deep. In addition to the Five Elements Gate, Demon Gate and Sword Gate on the surface, there are many small and medium-sized immortal cultivation sects and immortal cultivation families in the empire. Those who competed for the quota of the Immortal Ship were themselves cultivators in the Qi Refining Period or even the Foundation Building Period. Once upon a time, there was a tragedy of the old monster slaughtering the whole boat. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Shami's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat flowed straight down.
"That Ding Xuanran, no matter how I look at him, he has no cultivation, but the more I look at it, the more frightened I become. Don't provoke him, I want to live a few more years. ”
"Of course, don't be too afraid. Since they are incognito, they will not take the initiative to make trouble. You just don't know anything, just treat them as air. ”
"Yes!" the little novice trembled.
Hearing what the great monk said, Hu Jin was also surprised. He didn't expect that there would be so many famous halls in it.
Perhaps it was the words of the great monk that worked, and the four-month sea voyage was lonely and boring, but it was very peaceful.
Hu Jin stayed in cabin No. 1 all day and didn't go out, and no one even came to trouble him.
On this morning, when the maid was delivering the meal, the little novice who had led the way the day before appeared again.
He respectfully said to Hu Jin: "Master Ding, there is still an hour, and the ship will dock. Now that you've got your status, you can leave the ship and go wherever you want. ”
Then, the maid began to set the meal.
Hu Jin walked to Xiao Shami, who was about to go out, quietly took out a silver ticket, and put it directly in his palm: "Little master, thank you for taking care of you along the way." ”
In fact, this was the second time he had seen this little novice, but he said it naturally, and the little novice listened calmly, and neither of them felt anything strange.
Xiao Shami secretly glanced at the denomination of the silver ticket again, and whispered to Hu Jin: "Master Ding, in fact, that identity jade is useless, you can take it just in case." What is really useful is still the spirit stone and the yellow and white things. ”
"Thank you, little master. Hu Jin stuffed another silver ticket over.
Anyway, he has a lot of these things, they are all 'sent' by Li Jianyang, and they are not very useful, they are used on Xiao Shami, which is very good.
Xiao Shami left with a smile on his face.
