Chapter 8: Dragon Boat Attack
When they arrived at the sky dragon boat, they followed the gate that opened at the bottom of the boat and boarded the boat with others, and there was a pavilion not far from it, which was convenient for those relatives and friends to send them off, and there were people at the bottom gate of the boat who were checking the bamboo slip tickets, and then let them pass one by one.
"The surface of this Sky Dragon Boat looks almost entirely wooden, I don't know what the internal structure is" Jiang Xiaobei pondered, and then slowly walked up the stairs.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" At this time, a fat businessman in a jade-colored robe rushed up behind him, his face was full of oil, and he looked nervous, and accidentally bumped into Jiang Xiaobei, but Jiang Xiaobei didn't move at all, but the fat man staggered for a moment, and then quickly got up and apologized.
"En" Jiang Xiaobei nodded, but he noticed that the fat man who looked like a businessman was holding a cloth bag tightly in his hand, so he even gave priority to the cloth bag if he accidentally fell, which was a little strange, guessing that it might be something important.
Slowly walked directly down the spiraling staircase to the deck of the Sky Dragon Ship, the staircase passage has many forks leading to those rooms, there are rooms on the ship for the passengers to rest, before taking the bamboo is the upper room, the so-called upper room is a room on the deck for one person to live alone.
I didn't go to the room for the time being, there was a spacious hall on the deck for the guests to stay, so I found a place to sit down by the window, and there were many guests in the hall, nearly half of them were monks, and in addition to those who were extremely wealthy and powerful, what made Jiang Xiaobei strange was that he accidentally bumped into his blue-clothed fat man before, and he was also here, and it was extremely normal to hold the cloth bag tightly in his arms, but the slightly flustered eyes betrayed him.
didn't think much about it, Jiang Xiaobei's attention was quickly put on the sky dragon boat, someone came to remind everyone, the dragon boat was about to take off, as the last group of people boarded the boat, the sky dragon boat trembled, and then slowly got up from the ground, more than ten minutes later, it rose to the sky, suspended and did not move, and then the hull seemed to flicker a blue light, and a light blue light curtain slowly appeared around the hull to envelop the entire dragon ship, and the dragon boat slowly moved in a certain direction, and then the speed became faster and faster, and finally stabilized。
There was no sound at all in this process, and at this time, many people on the deck looked out of the ship around the railing, and the floating clouds were on their side, and the shadows of the people under the ship gradually became smaller, and the whole city was now in sight, which caused many people to admire and cheer.
Jiang Xiaobei is also a worker, he is not curious about the scenery he can see, at first he felt a little novel, but after seeing that the dragon boat was stable, he felt a little bored, and there was a figure in a gray robe who walked over slowly.
"This friend, can I sit here" The gray-robed figure was a middle-aged man, and he asked Jiang Xiaobei very politely at this time.
"Naturally, it's free" Jiang Xiaobei had explored before, in addition to the monks of the passengers, there were also a lot of people on duty on the dragon boat, all of them were monks, I think it was the operation of this sky dragon ship or the personnel who maintained safety, and the quality was surprisingly high, there were more than a dozen people in the True Yuan Realm, and the highest cultivation had reached the Soul Gathering Realm, although there was only one, and this person happened to be the gray-robed man in front of him.
I am afraid that there are no less than dozens of dragon ships in this Sky Dragon Pavilion, if there is a figure from this Soul Gathering Realm on each ship, it is already extremely terrifying, and this place is just one of the nearly 100 cities under the jurisdiction of Mochizuki City, the number of monks in this Soul Gathering Realm alone is alarming, and this is just one of the operations of those sects, which shows how huge the power of those sects that operate this dragon ship is, it is beyond imagination, at this time to see this person come to talk, although it is strange, but he has never done anything when he first came here, and it is impossible to have a holiday with anyone, and he is not afraid of shadows, so he naturally has no scruples。
"Don't misunderstand, you must also know who I am, I live a boring life on this dragon boat, in addition to cultivation, I am thinking about how to pass the time, this time I saw that Taoist friends can't figure it out, I'm afraid it is far beyond me, so I have the heart to make friends, I take the liberty to come, please don't be surprised" The gray-robed monk sat down and smiled, and then waved his hand, and someone brought up a fruit plate of snacks and wine.
"Where is the matter, there are friends all over the world, it is naturally good to be able to get acquainted with people, I call Jiang Xiaobei, I don't know how to call friends" Jiang Xiaobei is happy now, this person can sit on the sky dragon ship, he must also be a disciple of that sect, I am afraid that he is extremely knowledgeable, if he can make a friend, he will benefit a lot just by chatting about himself, where will he refuse.
"Haha, okay, under the surname Lu Dan's name, Brother Jiang directly called me by my name" Then Lu Qin saw that Jiang Xiaobei was also easy to speak, and his interest came.
"My name is a bit of a daughter, no way, my parents gave me this name at the beginning, don't laugh" Lu Qin was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Xiaobei, and hurriedly explained.
Then the two of them talked while drinking, and they talked very happily, Jiang Xiaobei knew a lot of things during the conversation, and asked Lu Qin about the matter of the Dragon Dragon Pavilion, because it was not a secret, Lu Qin actually knew everything, it turned out that these huge Dragon Pavilion was not monopolized by a single sect, but in the Great Cloud Country, all the more than a dozen sects that could be ranked together operated, governed and shared profits, and it was also one of the important sources of income for those sects, Lu Qin was one of the disciples of the Lingyun Sect, because each sect wanted to share the profits according to the size of the contribution, and the disciples under the door would take turns to guard these dragon ships, It is an extremely important task in the sect, Lu Qin has been guarding this dragon ship for two years, and there is still a year to wait for the task to be completed, and the next disciple who comes to rotate will hand over the task, so that he can return to the sect again.
"By the way, I don't know what kind of sect Brother Jiang is, I don't seem to know anything about these things that seem to be common sense" After talking for a while, it was Lu Qin's turn to be strange and asked.
"I have no sect, the cultivation method passed down from my family, and then I have been practicing alone in the deep mountains since I was a child, and I have not been out of the deep mountains for a long time, so naturally I don't know anything about some things" Jiang Xiaobei had already made a good stomach, and he would naturally say it with a sincere face.
"It turns out that Brother Jiang is a casual cultivator, and when he has cultivated to such a point, he is afraid that he is not only talented, but also his own efforts are definitely not small" After hearing Jiang Xiaobei's words, Lu Qin was full of admiration and praise, as if it was not easy for this casual cultivation to be successful.
"Where is it, it's just pure luck," Jiang Xiaobei waved his hand and said.
"Although I don't know what level Brother Jiang's cultivation has reached, but after all, casual cultivation is difficult, and there are very few people with great achievements, at this time, it is the time when the various sects open their doors once every decade, why don't Brother Jiang take this opportunity to worship that sect" Lu Qin said with a sincere face.
"I'm not too young, and I still have the exercises passed down by my family to practice, and those sects can still accept me" Jiang Xiaobei also had this kind of thought before, I am afraid that my three exercises are coming to an end, and finding a new cultivation method or a way back is also one of the things that must be done in the future.
"Brother Jiang thinks too much, how can he not accept it, as long as there is no dissent, and he can pass the assessment of each sect, there is no big problem, many monk families will also discharge the children of the family to participate in the assessment of the sect at this time, after worshipping the sect, with the support of the sect, the family has also added a trace of heritage, those people will naturally have the cultivation that originally belonged to the family exercises, it doesn't matter at all, but it is easier to get ahead than those ordinary disciples." Lu Qin's words directly dispelled Jiang Xiaobei's concerns.
"That's it, that's great, when the time comes, I'll go and participate in the assessment of that sect, if I can get into the sect, it's great," Jiang Xiaobei nodded and said.
"This is a grand event, most of the people who have come to take this dragon boat in recent days are going to participate in the opening of this sect and mountain gate, otherwise where are so many passengers on weekdays, you see these people, they are all like this" Lu Qin also said with a smile at this time, and pointed to some people casually, including the young man and woman, and there are also many middle-aged people who have a little cultivation.
Just when Lu Qin and Jiang Xiaobei were talking happily, the dragon boat seemed to tremble very slightly, and then stopped, Lu Qin's originally happy expression suddenly became serious, and he stood up directly, looking at the passengers scattered around him with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaobei's cultivation is not weak, although he is not familiar with the sky dragon ship at all, but under the divine sense, he has noticed something strange, and he has already known before that this dragon ship relies on a kind of energy emitted from the inside and outside to maintain power and can be suspended in the air, the source of that energy is not clear for the time being, but he also roughly understands the principle of operation, first holding the dragon boat in the sky, and then the vitality cover on the surface not only envelops the hull, but also resists the wind in the sky, and the most important thing is that it presents a rotating force that seems to be a gyroscopic top to push the hull forward, The dragon ship, which was originally extremely normal, had a strange force transmitted out of the cabin in the earthquake just now, and it actually ran a little obscurely.
"Recently, it is precisely because of this prosperous era in Mochizuki City, not only those cities under the jurisdiction of Mochizuki City, but also the people of the entire Great Cloud Country have come one after another, so those who have a heart have also come out, and since the past two days, there have been occasional accidents with the dragon boat one after another, I hope I think about it too much" Lu Qin said very seriously.
At this time, a few people also ran up from the belly of the boat and told Lu Qin about the situation just now.
"You call everyone, check the passengers on the dragon boat one by one, check the boarding charms, and check the things you carry, and report to me if you find a special situation" Lu Qin hurriedly gave an order.
At this time, Jiang Xiaobei frowned, although this matter has little to do with him, but now he is still on the dragon boat, and if something happens, it will be very troublesome, and at this time, he inadvertently looked at the place where he bumped into the fat man who looked like a blue-robed merchant when he boarded the boat.
The fat man still sat at a distance and did not move, but his hands trembled unconsciously, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was pale.
"Be careful!" But in an instant, Jiang Xiaobei sensed that the cloth bag in the hand of the blue-robed merchant actually sprouted a trace of white light, and the power that affected the dragon boat before was not hidden at this time, and it gushed out directly from the cloth bag, and Jiang Xiaobei could only shout in a hurry, then stood up and quickly retreated behind him.
"Everyone be careful, quickly leave the deck, jump directly off the dragon boat, there is a spirit talisman spell on the bamboo slip, you can be guaranteed not to die" But in an instant, there was nothing in the cloth bag, emitting a fierce blue light, and then slowly floated up, forming an extremely huge blue ball of light, and there were lines of lightning on it, and under the influence of the blue ball of light, such lines of life and death also appeared on the light curtain of the entire dragon ship, and at the same time, the blue ball of light emitted an extremely dangerous aura, and when Lu Qin saw this, he also hurriedly retreated, and the luck Yuan Li roared repeatedly.
"This bamboo slip still has this kind of function!" Jiang Xiaobei was surprised, at this time, the other few patrolmen on the ship fled directly to the deck after listening to Lu Qin's words, and jumped directly off the sky dragon ship, many of the passengers scattered around were monks, and their reactions were not slow, and they hurriedly learned to jump down when they saw someone taking the lead, but some of the passengers who were just tight and wealthy were panicking and screaming, making a mess.
Jiang Xiaobei didn't dare to slack off, and when he saw that Lu Qin was also pulling his legs, he also followed, and directly passed through the crowd and jumped on the deck......
