Chapter 030: Something is Better Than None
Xu Zhongda didn't speak, Gong Huaiming didn't say anything, and both of them were thinking about the unknowable future. Gong Huaiming was not worried that Xu Zhongda would make the decision to hand him over to the Hundred Flowers Palace, but what was the use of worrying, in this vast and boundless sea, unless Gong Huaiming could take down this ocean ship, otherwise, there would be nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape. What's more, even if he takes down the Ocean Ship, what can he do, he will always have to settle in the three major islands, and when the time comes, he will still have to face the fate of being hunted down.
Pulling Xu's business into the water and relying on Xu's business is the best way out that Gong Huaiming can think of at present, and there is no other way.
After a while, Xu Zhongda sighed, pointed to the storage bag and jade pendant that Gong Huaiming brought, and said: "Huaiming, the Kraken Master was killed by you, the crisis we encountered this time can be calmed, and the goods entrusted to us by the Hundred Flowers Fairy to our Xu firm can be preserved, all of which depend on you." You'll leave it to you. ”
"Yes, Mr. Xu. Gong Huaiming responded, he first grabbed the jade pendant in his hand, and then pointed to the storage bag, "Let me deal with this too?"
Looking at the storage bag, Xu Zhongda felt that his heart was dripping blood, the things used by cultivators were priceless treasures for secular people, if it was replaced by other times, if Gong Huaiming killed a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace, even if he didn't take the storage bag and all the things in it as his own, he would add five to Gong Huaiming, but now, he didn't dare to take down this hot potato, he had to leave a back road for the Xu family's firm, even if this back road might not work, then he had to keep it. Something is better than nothing.
Xu Zhongda waved his hand and motioned Gong Huaiming to take all the things away, he didn't dare to speak, lest as soon as he opened his mouth, he would change his mind and let Gong Huaiming leave the things.
Watching Gong Huaiming put away the jade pendant and the storage bag, Xu Zhongda's heart twitched violently, the priceless treasure passed by him like this, how could he not feel distressed?" "Huaiming, that jade pendant is not valuable, if I were you, I would throw it into the sea." This kind of worthless thing, only if it is thrown to the bottom of the sea, others will not find it and treat it as a treasure. ”
Xu Zhongda reminded Gong Huaiming very vaguely, and the latter understood that Xu Zhongda must have seen something as soon as he heard it, and deliberately reminded him in this way, "Mr. Xu, I know what to do." ”
Xu Zhongda nodded, "Huaiming, if there is anything in the future, you can find me." You are the person of my Xu firm, and the Xu firm is your home. ”
Xu Zhongda is trying to win over Gong Huaiming, since he has decided to help Gong Huaiming cover up, then he must do it thoroughly, putting aside the crisis brought by Gong Huaiming's killing of the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace to the Xu family's business, in Xu Zhongda's opinion, Gong Huaiming is very worthy of being wooed. There were so many people on the Ocean Ship, when they saw the Siren Master, none of them dared to move, only Gong Huaiming not only moved, but also killed the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace, this is where Gong Huaiming is far superior to ordinary people.
Of course, from now on, when Xu Zhongda told anyone about Gong Huaiming's bravery this time, he was saying that Gong Huaiming killed the unfaced Siren Master and killed him, and he didn't dare to tell anyone his guess, he didn't want to take the initiative to stuff his neck under the guillotine to find death.
Gong Huaiming withdrew from Xu Zhongda's cabin, and the crisis in front of him passed for the time being, but he still didn't have a clue what the future would look like. This kind of powerlessness of being at a loss and not knowing where to start, Gong Huaiming doesn't like it very much. But if you don't like it, you can only bear it. He is now helpless, everything has to rely on himself, to struggle, to struggle, to struggle, to struggle, to fight, only when he is high one day, stepping on everyone's heads, can he completely control his own destiny.
Gong Huaiming walked to the side of the boat first and threw the jade pendant, which represented the identity of the peony fairy, into the endless sea.
The channel where the Ocean is now located is one of the deepest places in this sea area, the sea is more than 10,000 zhang deep, the strong water pressure, the demon beasts of the deep sea, are two insurmountable obstacles for everyone, even if Gong Tianyou personally goes out, he may not be able to fish up the jade pendant from the bottom of the sea, as long as the jade pendant cannot be found, there is one most important evidence missing, no one can say that Gong Huaiming killed the peony fairy.
After that, Gong Huaiming returned to his cabin and couldn't wait to take out the peony fairy's storage bag.
The storage bag of the peony fairy and the storage bag used by the junior cultivator in the worship hall of the Great Gong Dynasty are very low-level goods, not only do they not need to use spell sacrifices, but they also do not need to use blood sacrifices, and they can be used in whoever hands they fall into, as long as they master certain skills. Gong Huaiming had a successful experience of using a storage bag, and it didn't take much effort to take out the things that the peony fairy put in the storage bag.
The peony fairy is not favored in the Hundred Flowers Palace, she herself has limited talent, and she does not know how to please the Hundred Flowers Fairy, so her status in the Hundred Flowers Palace is not high, otherwise, she will not be sent to the Hundred Flowers Island to guard the dock. However, after all, the Peony Fairy is the inner disciple of the Hundred Flowers Fairy who was officially admitted to the door, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy still passed on some cultivation techniques to her and gave her some treasures. Now, these things are all cheap Gong Huaiming for nothing.
There are not many things in the peony fairy, a book, two jade pupils, a peony-style flying magic weapon, plus some messy things, all counted together, there are only a dozen things.
When Gong Huaiming saw the book, he almost laughed, the book had more than 200 pages, half-new and not old, and it was thrown into the garbage heap, and it was estimated that no one would look at it. But in Gong Huaiming's eyes, it became a priceless treasure. The title of the book is only five words - Xiuzhen Baiwenlu, which is the introduction of some of the most basic common sense of Xiuzhen Taoism, what acupoints, meridians, cultivation realm, heaven and earth treasures, etc., just like the "Three Character Sutra" and "Basic Arithmetic" in the school, it is a basic thing that can no longer be basic. Gong Huaiming is lacking this kind of thing now, he went to Baihuafang City with five hundred taels of silver, just to find such a book, but he didn't come across it. Unexpectedly, from the captured loot, he found what he needed most.
Gong Huaiming simply gathered the things left by the peony fairy, put them in the first storage bag he got, and then used a double-edged axe to chop the peony fairy into several pieces, and threw the remains of the storage bag into the endless sea. After thinking about it again, he reluctantly threw a few treasures with the mark of the peony fairy into the sea along with the jade pupil Jane, and only by doing so could he avoid the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace coming to the door and searching for evidence.
The treasure is lost, Gong Huaiming is not distressed, but this is the helpless move of a strong man to break his wrist, what he has to consider now is not the value of those treasures, but to save himself first, embark on the road of cultivating the truth, and become a cultivator. Until then, all hidden dangers that may hinder this goal must be removed.
After doing all this, Gong Huaiming sat down and began to read "Xiuzhen Baiwenlu" seriously. According to the records in the book, it is a very popular book, and the peony fairy does not have the habit of writing names and taking notes in the book, so the "Xiuzhen Baiwenlu" is already a little worn, but there is no superfluous handwriting on it, and it will not be too much of a problem to stay.
Time passed day by day in the process of Gong Huaiming's study, and the ocean ship of Xu's firm successfully arrived in the Thousand Ice Islands. After Xu Zhongda handed over the treasure entrusted by the Hundred Flowers Fairy to Qianbing Zhenren, he did not dare to stay in the Qianbing Islands for a long time, and after purchasing in the Qianbing Islands, he took the ship and rushed to the Dongju Islands the next day.
During this period, Gong Huaiming did not rush to cultivate, but studied the "Hundred Records of Cultivation" over and over again, and he wanted to make sure that he completely mastered the content in it, without the slightest deviation, and then began to practice the "Qi Induction Technique". He did this to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and it is very clear from what is said in the "Hundred Records of Cultivation" that cultivating the truth and learning the Tao is a very dangerous thing, especially when you get started, if you are not careful, you will damage the meridian dantian, causing irreparable damage, and when the time comes, even if you have a good spiritual root, it will be in vain.
Thanks for the tip of "Still Laughing", thank you.
