Chapter 138: The Fallen Boat

The "horned dragon" broke through the storm, destroyed a number of ghost ships, and continued to sail on the sea.

After the storm, it was sunny again.

After more than ten days of drifting, Qi Xuansu and others have gradually narrowed the scope of the search and can roughly determine the range where the cloudy moon appears.

Then it became daytime and nighttime, resting during the day, waiting for the night to fall, and heading for the moon.

Waiting is always long, and boredom will further deepen this length.

When you first go out to sea, there is still a lot of freshness, but after a long time, the endless and monotonous sea water will wear out all the passion, leaving only endless boredom.

Qi Xuansu usually reads in his room, Hu En Ahan and Wu Tu also do their own things, and the "horned dragon" becomes very silent.

Wu Tu prays to Ishichel every day and confides in the goddess. Ishichel can probably hear it, but I don't know if she will respond. As far as Qi Xuansu knows, the gods can set up an avatar to deal with this kind of believers' wishes, automatically reply, and say some pre-set programmed words.

Hu En Ahan has the habit of writing a diary. In the past, when productivity was not developed, there were few people who could read and write, and paper was scarce. Only a very small number of people could write "notes", and there were very few diaries, most of which were travel notes.

Until now, when productivity has greatly developed, this habit has become popular on a large scale.

Although Hu En Ahan's diary is called a diary, it is actually not complete. If he has nothing to do today, he simply does not write it. Therefore, during the period when he made a mistake and was forced to stay indoors, he did not write a single word and stopped updating his diary directly. Thanks to Master Qi's order, he made a comeback.

After that, the frequency of updates suddenly increased. No matter how busy he is, he will write a few words. Even if he doesn't have time today, he will make up for it when he has time.

However, Qi Xuansu is very skeptical. Who would write his inner thoughts on paper? Is what is written on paper still his inner thoughts? Who writes a diary for a serious person? Anyway, Qi Xuansu doesn't write.

However, you can consider letting Xiao Yin write some. It is a great pleasure for parents to peek at their children's diaries.

No, you have to read it openly, and hold the diary high, because Xiao Yin is short and can't reach it.

Don't worry about whether it's right or not, just ask if it's interesting. What do you not want others to do to you? Being a high-ranking official in the Taoist sect means saying one thing and doing another. If you are consistent in your words and deeds, then isn't it a waste of your position as a high-ranking official in the Taoist sect?

Just as Qi Xuansu was completely immersed in the book, the sun was setting outside. The sky and the sea turned orange-red. The sunset was slowly sinking into the seabed, and the clouds and the sea seemed to be burning.

Lao Pang knocked on the door again, and his tone was excited: "Master, here! Here!"

Qi Xuansu put down the book in his hand, got up and opened the door: "What's coming?"

"The immortal is coming." Lao Pang calmed down a little.

Qi Xuansu became interested: "The immortal? The overseas survivors of the Taoist sect?"

"That's right!" Lao Pang said, "But I still don't know whether they are friends or enemies. Please tell me."

Qi Xuansu thought for a while: "Notify Chief Yang Gang, level 2 alert, let's see what happens first."

"Yes." Lao Pang took the order and left.

Qi Xuansu came to the deck outside. At this time, Wutu and Hu En Ahan also got the news. They came out of the cabin and gathered beside Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu looked far away,

and saw a whirlpool appearing on the sea in the distance. One after another, the snail boats were slowly rising from the seabed. Some had already floated to the surface, and some were still rising, which produced a lot of bubbles.

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised: "Is this the legendary 'Lunbo Boat'?"

It is said that when Zulong came to Jieshi in the east, there were people from Wanqu who came here on a snail boat. The boat is shaped like a snail, sinking to the bottom of the sea, but the water does not penetrate it. It is called "Lunbo Boat".

Hu En Ahan was also very surprised: "There really is a 'Lunbo Boat' in the world."

These snail boats, or Lunbo boats, did not move after rising to the surface.

Perhaps because the "horned dragon" was too majestic, the strange "Lunbo Boat" failed to take the lead, but seemed to be suppressed by the "horned dragon".

It was even a bit unequal, because the deck of the "horned dragon" was too high, and standing on it was naturally looking down from a high position.

Wu Tu stepped forward and shouted: "Who is coming?"

A strange man rose from the largest "Lunbo Boat".

Not drilled out, but rose.

A beam of light shot out from the top of the "Lunbo Boat", and this strange man was lifted up by the beam and left the "Lunbo Boat".

It was said to be strange because this person actually had some fish characteristics, and scales could be seen on the exposed skin, and the breath was also strange, not like a living person, but more like a monster. To put it more bluntly, there was a demonic aura.

But it is still in human form, not the form of a demon who has transformed into a human after cultivation. This is the original form.

From this point of view, these immortals are already half demon and half human.

But Wutu was not afraid at all. Under the erosion of the power of death, he looked even less like a human.

Everyone was the same: "Report your name, origin, and what you are doing."

The condescending attitude in the words was not concealed, but in a sense, Wutu was indeed qualified.

The immortal asked back: "Who are you?"

The accent of the Immortals is a bit strange. It's not like today's Mandarin. It should be the Mandarin they used at that time. After several changes, it finally turned into the weird accent now, but it can still be heard. After all, the accent here in the Southern Continent is He is also full of strange people, and he can speak in an orthodox Imperial Mandarin accent, which can make people look up to him.

Wutu sneered: "If you didn't know our details, would you come to us? Don't pretend to be stupid. But since you asked, I might as well say it again, we are the Taoist sect's plenipotentiary envoy and the chief of Beichen Hall. Zhenren, if you have any questions, just tell me and Zhenzhen will make the decision for you."

Don't look at Utu being evaluated as hopeless by Hu En'ahan. As Ixichel's right-hand man, he is by no means a mediocre person, and he is definitely not just relying on his admiration for the goddess to make the goddess treat him differently. He was capable, and he could see at a glance the purpose of these immortal people, who wanted something from his side, so he put on airs and talked about these immortal people as if they were ordinary people, and Qi Xuansu as if they were parents and officials.

This is to show off one's power first, and then negotiate the price.

The immortal man was silent for a moment and said: "My surname is Sun, my name is Sun Jiatu, and my ancestor's name is Shang Ling Xia Xiu."

Qi Xuansu thought to himself after hearing this: "He is indeed a descendant of Sun Lingxiu, and he is indeed an immortal person."

After Sun Jiatu introduced himself to his family, he continued: "I'm here

I want to ask Master Qi to help us, the Immortals, out of the same family. "

Qi Xuansu stepped forward and leaned on the railing to look at the Sun family picture below: "The Immortal Man comes from the Five Pecks of Rice Way, which is the Celestial Master Way. Patriarch Lu Xiujing reformed the Celestial Master Way and divided it into north and south. It was all later. As for the unification of the Taoist sects, it was even later. It happened later, did you know?"

Sun Jiatu replied: "Yes, we will also recruit some new members, most of whom are seafarers who fell into the water. From this, we will know about the changes in the land. I know that Xuansheng unified the Taoist sect to replace the Confucian sect and became the common master of the world. I also know that the four generations of masters He taught the great masters of the Five Dynasties how to open up Southeast Asia.”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "It is now the turn of the sixth generation of Grand Master and the seventh generation of Grand Master. It has been decades since the fourth generation of Grand Master and the fifth generation of Grand Master passed away. Now the Tao Sect's territory is more than ten thousand miles. There are more than tens of thousands of disciples? You are a remnant of the Taoist sect, and I am a disciple of the Taoist sect. If you are really in trouble, for the sake of Taishang Taozu, I will help you to maintain the friendship with my fellow sect."

Sun Jiatu said quickly: "Thank you Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu raised his hand: "Don't rush to thank me first. Since we are from the same sect, we naturally have to help each other, don't you think so?"

Qi Xuansu deliberately emphasized the word "each other" and looked at the Sun family picture below.

Although Sun Jiatu is an overseas survivor, as the leader of the Immortals, he is still discerning. He immediately heard the hidden meaning of Qi Xuansu's words: "If Master Qi encounters any difficulties, we should do our best."

Qi Xuansu said: "Very good, do you know Lanyun Sect?"

Sun Jiatu hesitated for a moment, then said: "I know, the distance between this place and Lanyun Sect is no longer

Far. "

Qi Xuansu looked at him: "Lanyun Sect's insect people do many illegal things. I went to sea this time to destroy the insect people. The army will arrive soon. Since you are a disciple of the Taoist sect, are you willing to lead the way?"

Sun Jiatu said: "Dare you disobey me? I just asked the real person to give you a clear warning, but I am powerless at this time..."

Qi Xuansu knew that these immortals would not let go of the hawk before they saw the rabbit, so he waved his hand: "Okay, come up and talk about your difficulties."

"Yes." Sun Jiatu responded, leaving the "Lunbo Boat" and flying towards the deck of the "Chorned Dragon".

Hu En'ahan whispered: "Real person, it's better to be careful. These people may also be the bait and trap of the female gentleman."

The female gentleman is talking about Zhou Mengyao, because like Qiniang, she is not a high-ranking Taoist priest and has no position. It is difficult to call her by her first name. You can't call her Master Zhou. The title of female gentleman.

Sir is a relatively neutral title, meaning elder, venerable, and teacher. As long as anyone is capable, he can be called "Sir" respectfully, regardless of gender or origin.

However, with the rise of Western learning later, I don’t know how it was translated. The Westerners’ respectful title for men was translated into sir. This misinterpreted the original meaning of sir and made many female Taoist priests unhappy. They always shouted: You can’t use “Mr.” Addressing women is a huge insult to women. It is an old disease and reflects the superiority of men and the inferiority of women.

In fact, in the classical context, most men are not qualified to be called "Mr."

Nowadays, Western learning has actually downgraded "Sir" and made it vulgar.

So I really wronged "Sir". It can only be said that it is the fault of Western learning and the fault of translation.

In any case, considering Zhou Mengyao's status and achievements, it would not be wrong to call her Mr. Zhou.

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what was going on.

Hu En'ahan said no more.

Qi Xuansu invited people to his room: "Let's talk here."
