Chapter 104 The Qi Xingyong game before winning or losing is originally a great Luo Gong
"Knock knock."
Navigation on the sea sometimes blurs time.
Xu Heng had not shown his face since he boarded the ship. He devoted himself to refining the cassock. A few days had passed before he knew it, until someone knocked on the door.
He slowly opened his eyes, let out a breath, stood up and opened the door with a thought.
The person who knocked on the door turned out to be He Chengfeng. He waited outside until the door opened and Xu Heng slowly walked out. Then he said: "Taoist Master Xu, I will transfer to Haizhou soon. Please come with me, Taoist Master."
"I see, thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me." Xu Heng nodded and followed He Chengfeng onto the deck. He found that many people were already there, each looking at the front of the fleet.
Xu Heng also looked away, and saw an island in front of him approaching at an extremely fast speed, and behind the island, a shadow appeared faintly.
"Yunhu Haizhou?" Xu Heng's heart moved. He had already guessed the origin of the shadow. As expected, as the fleet turned around the island, a huge monster suddenly showed its true form.
"...Oh!" On the merchant ship, those who saw it for the first time exclaimed. Even Xu Heng's eyes couldn't help showing admiration.
What does a large boat with a length of 840 feet and a width of more than 500 feet look like?
No matter who looks at it, it is difficult to think of this thing as a boat. It is more like a floating land than a boat. The buildings on it are more like a city than a boat building. The hull of the ship, which is tens of feet high on the sea, is like a continuous city wall... The whole ship is parked there quietly, and it is even more majestic than the island next to it.
At this time, there were ships parked in front of them, and the rafts hanging down from the ships were like climbing stairs. Together with the tiny figures starting to climb on the ships, there was an extreme contrast.
"No matter how many times I see Haizhou, I always feel insignificant."
He Chengfeng sighed, but Xu Heng did not answer. He felt a little puzzled. After a pause, he had to change the subject and said: "The guards will need to board the ship later to take care of the cargo being transported to the ship, so I can only bother Taoist priest, come on board the ship with me to make a show.”
"It should be so." He Shanhai also said this, so Xu Heng naturally agreed.
Soon, several of He's merchant ships had arrived nearby. The rafts were hung from the boats. However, He Chengfeng did not leave, but flew up on his own. Several of the guards on the ship also separated and followed him. Then he flew towards the sea boat.
Seeing this, Xu Heng gently flicked the hem of his robe, and a breeze blew up under his feet. He then carried his body and flew away. He looked as graceful as a startled dragon, floating like feathers, but he was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, we were on the sea boat.
At this time, He Chengfeng had just landed on the deck. Seeing his clothes fluttering and leisurely flying down, he couldn't help but be startled, and then he said: "The Taoist Master's escape skills are so exquisite."
Xu Heng just smiled slightly and stood beside him. Seeing this, He Chengfeng said nothing more and turned his attention to the goods being transported.
These goods ranged from big to small. There were whole boxes of spiritual materials and medicinal herbs, and there were also storage items sealed with restrictions. It was hard to tell what kind of treasures were inside. The people from He's Baohang were busy transporting them. It takes half an hour to be considered appropriate.
After that, the passengers would board the ship, which had nothing to do with the escort. There were deacons on the ship who would make arrangements. He Chengfeng called a few of his men to look after the spot, and then took Xu Heng to look for He Chengluan.
He Chengluan was on the bow of the ship, talking to a man who looked like a steward. After a while, he turned around and got off the bow of the ship and said: "Old rules, except for the full-day watch once every eight days, you only need to be on duty once in a while. Just patrol.”
He Chengfeng didn't answer, obviously he had expected it. He Chengluan turned the conversation and said to Xu Heng: "Daoist Xu only needs to show up when he is on duty all day, and the rest of the inspections will not bother him."
"Oh?" Xu Heng said, "This is the best thing. I would like to thank the commander for this."
"The Taoist Priest is a distinguished guest. If we were not afraid of gossiping, how could we ask the Taoist Priest to do such rough work?" He Chengluan showed a smile on his face and exchanged a few polite words with Xu Heng before letting He Chengfeng take Xu Heng to rest. .
The guard's rooms are all arranged in one place, and they are actually very spacious. All the furnishings are not scarce, but they are not as good as those of the passengers. There are also upper rooms, private rooms, and even independent lofts to choose from.
Xu Heng didn't care about this. When he got to his room, he sealed the doors and windows as usual, and then sat down on the bed.
The Tao needs to be understood, the strength needs to be concentrated, and the Dharma needs to be practiced. Sometimes in practice, there are these subtle details. In the past few days, he has been busy refining the dharma robes, and he has been a little slack in his homework. Now he is on the Yunhu Haizhou, and there will be nearly three months of training. We have a long journey to go, but it’s time to improve our practice.
Xu Heng stretched out his sleeves, and a small furnace and an elixir bottle appeared in his palm.
This small furnace has a name, it is called Ziyang furnace. As long as it is released, it will convert the nearby spiritual energy into a kind of smoke with positive spiritual energy, and the elixir bottle contains Yinhua elixir. Both of them are He had prepared it for his practice away from the mountains, and it came in handy at this time.
He set up the Ziyang furnace and turned the furnace lid. The efficiency of the furnace was not very high. After a while, a thin wisp of purple smoke floated out.
Seeing this, Xu Heng poured out a Yinhua Pill and took it, inhaled the purple smoke, and then slowly started practicing the method.
As Xu Heng got better and better, the room quickly fell into silence, except for the magic on the doors and windows that remained bright and brilliant.
This is the embodiment of the condensation of mana. If it is not taken back by Xu Heng and not consumed by external factors, it can survive for decades without decreasing or increasing.
However, Xu Heng's practice has reached this point, and his progress is no longer what it used to be. Obviously, if he wants to make another qualitative leap, he must fall into the "Hesha" barrier.
Of course, although this matter is imperative, it does not result in immediate results, and with accumulation of money, it can still increase some mana at a slow speed, so Xu Heng has never neglected his practice.
It took Xu Heng another three or four days to practice this practice before he withdrew from the tranquility, collected the magic power on the door and window, and suddenly opened the window with a snap of his fingers, revealing the moonlight outside like water. It turned out that it was the middle of the night. .
He walked closer to the window with his hands behind his hands, and suddenly felt a soft wind blowing on his face, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
A few days after Xu Heng entered samadhi, the sea boat in Yunhu Lake had already started moving. Although there were few reference objects on the sea, it was not difficult to see with his eyesight that the sea boat was traveling at an unimaginable speed.
Such a behemoth, so fast, might have stirred up a storm, but inside the boat, I felt safe and sound, with a gentle breeze blowing on my face, which undoubtedly showed the mastery of the restraints on this sea-crossing boat.
"I heard that behind the Yunhu Fairy Market is a famous Jindan Daoist. It seems that what he said is true." Xu Heng thought in his heart. He took a casual glance and found that the sea boat was actually quite lively.
In the ship building not far away, there are candles, hanging lanterns and colorful decorations, and the sound of singing and music from silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly. It is obvious that there are many dinner parties and Dharma meetings going on, and there are also many people on the deck.
In addition to the guards who were on duty at a certain treasure house, there were many people sitting around, drinking wine in front of the moon, enjoying themselves.
There are still nearly three months until we reach Xingxiu Sea. Not everyone can endure loneliness like Xu Heng, so it is reasonable to have some fun. Not to mention them, even Xu Heng felt that he was too obsessed with practice and that he had strayed away from the essence of traveling. As soon as his mind changed, he had the idea of walking on the deck.
Xu Heng did what he thought of, but when he got to the deck, he felt it was a little noisy. After looking around, he found that it was quiet on the bow of the ship, so he headed there.
Arriving on the bow of the ship, looking at the line where the water and the sky meet in front of him, and feeling the boundless vastness of the ocean, Xu Heng felt that the sounds around him gradually faded away, and it seemed that the world in his chest was wider.
He suddenly wanted to recite a poem, but although the interest came quickly, it was difficult to write the ink for a while. He couldn't help but feel a little funny, thinking that when he was young, he was also known as a child prodigy in the Xu Clan School, and now Although I have read many books on learning Taoism, I have actually written fewer articles.
Xu Heng thought in his heart, his eyes still stayed between the sea and the sky, but suddenly moved and locked on a place directly in front of Haizhou.
"Huh?" Xu Heng frowned gradually. If what he saw was correct, it should be a small shadow, and it seemed to be in motion?
"A living thing? Or a boat?" Xu Heng pondered for a moment, couldn't help but get off the bow of the boat, called the person on duty closest to him, and said, "Fellow Taoist, please come and take a look."
The man saw that Xu Heng also had a token hanging on his waist. Although he was not a member of the same family, he thought he had discovered something, so he quickly boarded the bow to take a look.
Xu Heng asked: "There is something right in front of you. Do you need to tell Haizhou to get out of the way?"
The man took a look, and in just a moment, the shadow had grown much larger. It did seem like something was moving forward. But after hearing Xu Heng's words, he curled his lips and said, "With the speed of Haizhou, , no matter what kind of monster hits it, it will be smashed, don’t pay attention to it.”
Xu Heng frowned and asked, "What if it's a ship?"
The man waved his hand angrily and said, "Wouldn't the ship avoid the ship when it saw the sea boat colliding with it?" Then he got off the bow of the ship. As if he was afraid of Xu Heng's entanglement, he went to patrol in the distance.
"This?" Xu Heng actually knew that what the man said was reasonable, but he felt a little uneasy for some reason, so he turned back to look at the shadow. As the distance increased, the outline of the thing gradually became clearer.
It was neither a boat nor a monster in the sea. It was actually a bamboo raft, with two figures sitting side by side on it, one shaking a wooden oar to the left and the other!
"Not good." Xu Heng turned around to look for the person again, but with the speed at which the boat was traveling, he might have collided with it in just a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but change slightly.
"Are these two people deaf or crazy? They don't have any spiritual thoughts? Why don't they know how to avoid them?"
Xu Heng frowned deeply. He knew that in this far sea, someone was traveling on the sea with only a bamboo raft. He must be a practitioner, but it was hard to understand why they didn't avoid it.
But no matter what, he couldn't just sit idly by and watch. It was already too late to find someone to inform him. He simply lost his breath, looked towards the sea from a distance, and shouted: "Where is the Sea Splitter?"
There was no response, but a huge wave suddenly surged up, as if a mountain peak was about to push out of the sea. He held up the bamboo raft and rushed hundreds of feet away, avoiding the progress of Yunhu Haizhou. route.
The next moment, Haizhou went straight over, but smashed the wave into pieces. Xu Heng's body swayed slightly, knowing that the Fenhailishi was knocked away by Haizhou, and the mana could not be recovered, so he couldn't help but shook his head.
God has a good life, so Xu Heng doesn't feel any regrets. He just hopes that the two people will cherish this chance of life.
However, just as he was about to get off the bow of the boat, his ears suddenly moved again, and he faintly seemed to hear the sound of a quarrel, and a strange look appeared on his face.
A voice said: "No, no. This big ship didn't give way. Someone cast a spell to push us away. I won."
"You fart!" Another voice suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "This big ship didn't hit us, of course I win!"
"What are you arguing about? I'm trying to reason with you." The former was very calm, but immediately retorted: "We are betting on whether this big ship will collide, and it has nothing to do with whether it collides or not?"
The two argued in confusion, and then both shouted: "Then let's find someone to judge."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of breaking through the sky. Xu Heng suddenly turned around to look, and saw two figures breaking through the sea breeze. They looked at the sea boat as if it were nothing, and fell on the deck.
Xu Heng was startled for a moment, only to see two people coming, one was middle-aged, wearing a high black crown with nine red dots painted on it, and a very strange robe with dragon medals, phoenix embroidery, and cloud patterns on it. , thunder patterns... but intertwined into various weird number arrangements of three, nine, two, and eight.
And the other person is even more peculiar. He looks like an old man but not old, a young man but not a young man, like all living things, like a solitary person, with messy Taoist robes, dry chest, gourd hanging on his waist... Couldn't he be the Taoist who talks about peace?
When the two of them arrived on the deck, they were still holding on to their own opinions. Xu Heng originally wanted to say hello to Taoist Suohe, but he couldn't get in the conversation at all.
On the other hand, the guards on Haizhou suddenly saw someone breaking in. They became alert and surrounded them. Someone shouted: "Who is it? How dare you break into Yunhu Haizhou without permission?"
As he said that, he raised his hand slightly, as if he would gather together to capture him at any moment if he was given an order.
When they saw this, they both stopped and turned their heads to look down. There was no anger on their faces. Xu Heng even saw the weird middle-aged Taoist with a rather dignified expression on his face.
The Taoist who spoke of peace shook his head slightly and said: "I am a Taoist of peace. Dear friends, please don't be impatient. Taking action if you disagree is not the right way..."
The guard commander frowned, but he was not in a hurry to get angry. Instead, he seemed to be deep in thought.
On the contrary, the middle-aged Taoist's face suddenly showed impatience, and he coughed violently, interrupting the Taoist's sermon, and also attracted everyone's attention to him.
He seemed quite satisfied, cleared his throat, and recited a poem in a low voice: "The universe is a big picture, and the sun and the moon can all be used to plan it.
The Tao is just a word of gambling, and all living beings are in the middle of the Tao.
Before winning or losing, anger surges, and gaming is a great achievement.
After participating in the mysterious method of gambling, you will know that everything is empty. "
Xu Heng was listening and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
