A sea ship is moored on the shore.
The size and appearance of the ship are the same as those of the Chen family.
However, two of the three masts on the ship have been broken; a piece of the ship's building collapsed; several holes were damaged in the ship wall near the stern. The entire ship looked scarred, and it had obviously been in more than one thrilling encounter.
At this time, several Chen family members were busy on the boat and on the shore.
An old man set up a stove on the beach and lit the smoke. And when he lowered his head to blow the fire, he let out a surprised sound——
"Huh……"
The three of them walked along the beach.
The two middle-aged men walking in front were in tattered clothes, soaked in tatters, and in a sorry state, but they looked lucky.
The young man who was left behind was about seventeen or eighteen years old. His upper body was bare, his feet were bare, his body was covered with water stains, and he had a tired smile on his face.
"Ouch——"
The old man threw the blowtorch, his beard trembled with joy, and waved repeatedly: "Man, where did this come from——"
Several Chen family disciples also dropped their axes, saws and hammers, and said in surprise: "The three masters are back!"
"Why are you here? Where are the others, Ah Hu..."
"Taoist Gan, Taoist Qiu, the young master's family has brought people up the mountain..."
Two middle-aged men talked to the Chen family's children and asked about the relevant matters.
The young man slowly stopped.
"Haha, I knew you were lucky!"
The old man greeted him tremblingly.
Yu Ye was the only one he called his buddy and boy. The person who made the fire and cooked on the boat was naturally Gui Yuanzi.
Yu Ye looked at Gui Yuanzi and felt very cordial, but full of questions. Tired, he sat down on the beach and said with a smile: "Old Taoist, this is for you -"
There were two more jars of wine beside him.
Gui Yuanzi hurriedly sat down and held the wine jar in his arms. He blinked and said mysteriously: "Boy, are you rich?"
Yu Ye took out a coat and put it on his body, then looked at the damaged ship and said curiously: "Old Taoist, please explain the whole story first, and I'll talk to you later!"
"Well, good wine——"
Gui Yuanzi couldn't wait to open a jar of wine. Before he tasted it, he was already full of praise. He nodded repeatedly and said: "For the love of the wine, listen to me..."
After the Chen family's ship got rid of the pirates, it sailed quickly for several days with the help of the wind, but did not want to deviate from the sea route and plunged into the storm. Fortunately, the children of the Chen family were all good sailors. Even though two masts were broken, the danger was finally saved. . Unexpectedly, the ship was damaged and could not continue sailing. It happened to be a small island in the sea, so it anchored here. Trees are indispensable for repairing ships, especially broken masts that are difficult to find. Seeing the high mountains and dense forests on the island, Ah Hu led people to cut down the trees. He has been away for two days and has not returned yet.
It was learned from Gui Yuanzi that the two parties had been separated for more than twenty days, and the unexpected reunion had a lot to do with the storm. Although the storm was terrifying, it also brought Yuye and the three here. Maybe it's good and bad, let's call it luck.
Yu Ye also briefly recounted his experiences at sea. Gui Yuanzi had other concerns.
"I don't ask about the thief's life or death, you just ask whether you have made a fortune. For example, the thief's treasure, fine wine..."
"There is no treasure, but I picked up a few jars of wine!"
"Bring it quickly—"
"The two jars of wine are a favor. The remaining wine is a transaction."
"how do I say this?"
"You know."
"Little slippery man!"
When Gui Yuanzi learned that Yu Ye had some fine wine, he looked at him with a more fiery look. He thoughtfully asked him to have a good rest, and then he happily stood up and left with two wine jars in his arms.
Night fell and a bonfire was lit on the beach.
The only people left here to look after and repair the ship were the five Chen family members and the Taoist priest Guiyuan who cooked the food. Being in an unpredictable place, Ahu and many other friends have not returned, which inevitably makes people a little uneasy. With the return of the three monks, there is also more relaxed laughter on the beach.
Twenty or thirty feet away from the beach, there is a hillside. On the hillside, there is a stone pit. Streams and rainwater gather in the pit, which is where ships replenish their drinking water.
Under the moonlight, Yu Ye ran towards the puddle.
After drifting on the sea for many days and soaking in the sea water for a long time, the body was already covered with salt flakes, which was really unbearable. After Gan Xing and Qiu Yuan washed up, he also carried a wooden bucket and a piece of soap locust and came here alone.
The moonlight is hazy and the sea breeze is refreshing.
Beside the bonfire, Gui Yuanzi laughed loudly with everyone, bragging about his experiences in the world of mortals, which aroused Gan Xing and Qiu Yuan's curiosity.
On the beach, the waves are rolling and the waves are undulating.
The endless sound of waves is like the breathing of the sea, dull and long.
Yu Ye took off his clothes and blew in the sea breeze. Then he poured a bucket of water on his head and picked up the soap locust to wipe it.
It is reported that although the islands here are lush with vegetation, they are uninhabited. It's just that it's a lot of trouble to repair the ship, and it seems that it will stay on this desert island for a while.
Yu Ye wiped the soap locust and rubbed away the dirt. Just as he was taking a shower, a figure walked closer and closer along the beach.
Yu Xin?
Yu Xin was surprised to see Gan Xing and Qiu Yuan, so he greeted them politely and waved to Yu Ye on the hillside. Gan Xing and Qiu Yuan ignored it, with sneers on their faces. Yu Ye was still washing up and it was inconvenient to make a sound. Yu Xin had to explain the reason to Gui Yuanzi, saying that it was difficult to find trees for making masts, so he was delayed for two days. If everyone still hasn't returned by noon tomorrow, everyone present will be asked to come and respond. After a while, he hurriedly left. He wanted to inform Ahu, Taofeng and others about the situation here.
Yu Ye finished washing, tied up his hair in a bun, changed into a coarse cloth jacket, put on a pair of cloth boots, and walked down the hillside carrying the barrel.
"How many years has this Taoist master been wandering around in the world?"
Gui Yuanzi was still bragging about his experience in the world, and several Chen family disciples listened with interest. I saw him taking a sip of wine, shaking his head and saying: "Oh, I can't remember clearly. I only remember the famous mountains and rivers in Daze and the women from all over the country. Tsk, tsk, in terms of different styles, the women in the north are fierce and the women in the south are enchanting. The coquettishness of the women from the Great Jersey is the most unforgettable of the infatuation of the women from the East!"
"Haha, you are such a shameless old man. You deserve to be praised as a Taoist priest!"
"The Taoist priest is also a human being, and he also wants to practice drunkenly and dreamily for a while. But the world is not old yet, but the man is already old; the world of mortals is still here, the wind and the moon are dying. Now, I, the Taoist priest, cook all day long, how fucking miserable!"
"Haha, Taoist priest is really interesting..."
Although Gui Yuanzi was doing a miserable job and had a good demeanor, his words were humorous and made several Chen family members laugh. Just seeing Yu Ye coming, he complained again: "Oh, there is only one waiter who is not obedient. It is really sad!"
Yu Ye put down the barrel and pretended to be concerned: "I have been traveling for many years and it is really hard. I don't know where you are from. I, my friend, will pay you a visit someday!"
"Well, that's quite commendable!"
Gui Yuanzi nodded slightly and said without thinking: "I live in Houtu Village, Yuntian Town. Man, I'm waiting for you to come to your door!"
"Yuntian Town? Yuntian Town in Qizhou?"
Yu Ye was a little surprised.
"if not?"
Gui Yuanzi twirled his beard and smiled, with an unpredictable expression.
"oh……"
Yu Ye originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out what was going on, but ended up confused. He picked up a burnt pancake and a water jug from the campfire, turned around and walked away silently. When he walked past Gan Xing and Qiu Yuan, they looked at Gui Yuanzi with suspicion.
More than ten feet away, there is another hillside.
Yu Ye sat on the hillside, ate pancakes, drank water, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I have been drifting on the sea for a long time, and I always feel uneasy, making me feel like a rootless duckweed, with a sense of fear and helplessness of drifting with the tide. Nowadays, it is rare to be down to earth, and my heart feels much more stable. I hope everything goes smoothly and I can reach Qizhou as soon as possible.
And where does Gui Yuanzi live? Houtu Village in Yuntian Town?
Yu Ye raised his hand and played a few spells.
An invisible layer of restriction shrouds the surrounding area. Although it is only about ten feet in radius, it can shield spiritual consciousness, isolate the wind and rain, and form a peaceful world of its own.
Yu Ye turned over his hand and took out a picture slip.
Map of Qizhou.
He was about to look for Yuntian Town on the map when he heard sarcastic laughter coming from his spiritual consciousness——
"Hey, you actually believed Gui Yuanzi!"
"He said he lives in Houtu Village, Yuntian Town..."
"Your stupidity always surprises people!"
"Jiaoying, tell me what you have to say!"
"Hey, are you angry?"
"Gui Yuanzi lied?"
"He didn't lie to you. The world is only as big as under the sky and above the thick soil. The so-called Yuntian Town and Houtu Village are just another way of saying it."
"oh……"
"Master of Taoism, your words contain hidden secrets. If you don't pay attention, you will be teased without even realizing it!"
"Have you confirmed that he is an expert?"
"No matter who he is, just be careful!"
Jiaoying was busy studying the escape method and had no time to be distracted. He said a few words and then stopped moving.
Yu Ye was stunned for a moment and shook his head secretly.
He once believed that Gui Yuanzi was a hidden master, and he firmly believed in this. But such an expert actually talked about the affair, and even had food, drink, prostitution, and gambling...
Another day passes in the blink of an eye.
Yu Ye was still sitting on the hillside breathing and breathing; Gan Xing and Qiu Yuan were hiding under the shade of the trees to practice Qigong. The three people suffered a lot in the storm and needed a few days of rest and recuperation.
The five Chen family members were repairing the holes in the cabin, with axes and hammers clanging incessantly.
Gui Yuanzi was dozing by the stove.
This situation and scene are not at all like being shipwrecked on a desert island or spending the rest of your life in a raging sea. Instead, everything is filled with leisure and tranquility. The so-called leisure and tranquility are always extremely short-lived.
At this moment, a petite figure passed by the beach.
"Yu Ye——"
Yu Ye opened his eyes and raised his hand to remove the restraint.
Restrictions are far easier to use than formations. Once you become proficient in practice, you can easily use them anywhere and you can do it instantly. This also benefits from Gan Xing’s inspiration and reference. He has no family, no sect, and no teachers. The magical powers he practices come from Jiaoying, as well as from his opponents and enemies.
Meng Qingqing hurriedly came closer, maybe due to excitement, with a touch of rosy red on her face, and said: "I thought it would be difficult to see each other again..."
She was speechless, her eyes were like water. The joy is beyond words.
Yu Ye stood up, embarrassed and speechless.
Meng Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her voice and said: "The mast that was cut down this time is too heavy to carry. Ahu asked me to send a message, please come and help!"
"It's just moving trees, why bother to mobilize troops?"
"Brother Gan, a cave was found on the island, which is suspected to be a refuge for monks. You and Brother Qiu may wish to go and give you some advice."
"Oh, where is the cave? You and I should go quickly..."
