Ding ding ding ding Mu Ziyun stood on the bow of the ship, shaking the bell brought from Wei State in his hand. The surrounding atmosphere was too depressing, and the jingling sound merged with the scene under the moonlight, making it even more eerie and strange.
Huzi came over and said, "There are people in those boats, living people."
Ding ding ding ding Mu Ziyun's mouth moved slightly and said: "Listening to this voice, I gradually realized that things are not that bad. We have a direction and we are still alive. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Hundreds of small boats seem to be pulled by a mysterious force in front of them. They are so close but not touching. When you calm down, you can still hear the sound of people sleeping soundly in the nearby boats. Huzi was shaken by the bell, and the tight strings were loosened. His eyelids immediately became heavy, and he yawned and walked into the cabin, saying: "You watch first, I will go to sleep for a while, and I will change in two hours."
Mu Ziyun flew lightly to the roof of the cabin, sat down cross-legged, and continued to ring the bell. After a long time, a kind feeling came over him. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was kind, but there was still room for it. In short, the feeling guided him to look in a certain direction.
It was a small dark blue boat, sandwiched between several large boats. There were several sacks piled on the bow and stern. The boat was clean and things were arranged casually, but it made people feel comfortable.
There was a girl lying on the side of the boat, with her chin resting on her arms. The girl was still young, but she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her skin was as good as snow. Her hair was tied in a playful knot, and the bottom part was spread out behind her shoulders. I saw her smiling brightly and staring at the moon in the sea.
Mu Ziyun stopped the bell, and the girl looked over. At first, she could only see the profile of her face. After turning her head, Mu Ziyun found that the girl was wearing an earring in her left ear. It was a thin and long sapphire blue bell that was tied to someone else's ear. No matter how beautiful you are, there will be flaws in your ears, but what she wears is the most difficult to find fault with. This girl’s appearance is not perfect, not as good as the Little Matchmaker, and similar to Wan Min and Pan Xiaowen, but she makes people laugh when she sees her. People are comfortable.
In addition, Mu Ziyun could still feel a familiar feeling of intimacy. Stepping on the cabin, Mu Ziyun wanted to fly over. At this time, soft lights poured in from the right side. When I turned around, I saw that the sun was peeking out from the sea level, and the moon had just passed the midline and was setting behind. It was such a strange sight. Half of the world was bright and half of the world was dark, but both were very quiet.
The boats marked out the "regions" one by one and entered the world of light.
The boat gradually became noisy, and many people walked out of the cabin, stretched themselves, smiled and looked at each other. Then there were the sounds of talking, water being carried, rice being cooked and wine being heated.
Huzi walked out of the cabin, rubbing his eyes, and said, "I just fell asleep, what should I do? It will be dawn soon."
"Hey! Look!" Someone stretched out his arms and shouted cheerfully, attracting people's attention. On the horizon, where the sun comes out, there is a dark thing protruding. When the rays of sunlight shine on it, it reveals its original shape, "Lu Di! It's Guanglang Liuli Island, we're here!"
"Hey Queen!" "Ha" Although they didn't know where that place was, Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi still cheered. A middle-aged man reminded them: "Don't forget to turn around and thank the helmsman Hu Na."
Only then did people remember that they should offer good things to thank the ghost who showed them the way - the legendary helmsman Hu Na. They took out the treasures from the cabin or their bodies, walked to the stern of the ship and threw them into the darkness behind without hesitation. The world is a rule set by humans and ghosts. Hu Na is a "stingy guy". If he is not rewarded, he will not be able to escape even if he gets rotten in the fog when he gets back on the ship.
Many "newcomers" like Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi followed the elders and learned to take out some valuable things and throw them into the sea. Hu Zi took out the "broken copper and iron" brought from Wei State and said : "Just threw these away."
Mu Ziyun took out all the packages, threw half of the money and food from the stern of the boat, and said, "Look at the good things they threw away. They threw away half of the full bag of golden beans. We can't be stingy, let's give more."
"Okay." Huzi had no choice but to take out some more items and throw them away.
The ship was no longer under the control of helmsman Hu Na. The young man rowed eagerly toward the mainland, and Mu Ziyun's ship was among them. The two of them had only been away from the Seven Kingdoms for eight or nine days, but they couldn't help but want to step on the soil. It was the middle-aged man again, shouting from behind: "There are many sea animals on this road, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of several feet high arose on the right side of Muziyun's ship. A sea monster really appeared! What was revealed was a tail, similar to that of a cat, wet and very long. The tail was rolled up into a pancake on the sea surface. After a while, the pancake jumped up as it slapped the sea surface. It turned out that it was not the tail, but the body of the sea beast. It was rolled into a pancake shape and covered the people as much as possible. .
Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi were panicking. Hu Zi had already raised the hammer. At this time, the boat next to them came over. There was a man standing on the bow. Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi had just seen him cooking fish and shrimp in a pot. He wolfed down the noodles and was not excited about the appearance of the land. He felt in his heart that this person should be a fisherman who often goes to sea.
Unexpectedly, the man was holding a knife in his hand. The style of the knife was very similar to a kitchen knife, but it was many times bigger. The man made a sound, kicked off one leg and jumped a hundred feet high, holding the "kitchen knife" With a single stroke out of thin air, the monster split into two halves, just like a person splitting a hill.
The body of the sea beast fell back into the sea, causing three more waves. Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi admired in their hearts. Although the power shown by the man just now was different from martial energy and magic energy, it was definitely not weaker than the two of them. He was a master.
When the man landed, the two rowed the boat over. Huzi raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your help, brother."
The man picked his teeth and replied: "No help, I'm next to you, even if the lid comes down, it will hit me."
Mu Ziyun asked, "I dare you to ask me what kind of skill my brother has that makes him so powerful." The man became more energetic and replied, "I am a magician, I can make a sly knife."
Huzi and Muziyun were stunned for a while, confused. The man said happily: "Hey, new guy? Where did he come from?"
"Huzhou"
"Oh, I'm from the Zangping Continent. I've been here for the past five or six years. The practices in various places are messy and have their own characteristics. Guanglang Liuli Island has been a gathering place for wanderers since ancient times. Over tens of thousands of years, some rules and regulations have been formed. Just now You have to learn to adapt when you come here.”
Seeing that the two of them were confused, the man simply slowed down the boat and explained: "Have you not seen the helmsman Hu Na in the fog? I don't know what it is, uh no no, sin, sin, sin." The man quickly walked to the stern of the boat and said After throwing away many good things, he ran back and said, "It's a good man. Oh, he existed a long time ago. He guided lost ships to several fixed places, and Guanglang Liuli Island is one of them."
"There are powerful people coming out of different places, and there are various ways of practicing. Several generations of ancestors worked hard to formulate the Tao Law. To put it bluntly, it is an extra training process, which does not affect the previous cultivation. They are all present in the bodies of living beings. The two juxtaposed 'balls' are not in contact with the blood vessel energy. Once a person crosses the boundaries of mortals, those two 'balls' will be activated and have an effect."
"Several generations of martyrs used young people to experiment and summarized the efficacy of 'balls' and gave them names. One is called Shenwan and the other is called Magic Pill. Shenwan is quite satisfactory and can accompany one's strength to grow and enhance one's abilities, while Magic Pill is extreme. If you advance, you can easily greatly improve your strength, but the risk is extremely high, and you will lose your life if you are not careful."
Mu Ziyun said: "Do we have to follow this way of cultivation when we come here?"
The man laughed and said: "This is not a method, but a process that must be gone through. You can just practice according to the original method. However, when your strength reaches a certain level, the double pills will be activated. At that time, you must follow the rules passed down. When you use it, you can choose whether to become a trance or a demon."
Huzi said: "Brother, are you possessed by a demon?"
"Ha, that's right. The damage from the demon wasn't too great at the beginning. I can handle it. I'm not going out to wander around anyway. I can stop here and stop driving. Thinking about the enchanted friends who are with me, how many of them are there? A year of cultivation can’t compare to what I have achieved in half a year, but I stopped here and they can continue to climb up in the future.”
Mu Ziyun asked again: "Brother, did you just say Long people?"
"Oh, the Long people came from ancient times. In the war between living beings, humans were weak and had to find a way out. They selected people with better foundation to form an army, trained them with various methods, and finally selected a group of people. , this group of people can do what ordinary people cannot, and can no longer live an ordinary life. Instead, they are elected as leaders, leading humans to find a place to survive among all living things. Later, humans slowly derived various ways of practice, intermittently. There will be people who exceed the limits of mortals. They can no longer be called mortals, they are all called Long, and they are called Long people."
"With the opening of the double pill, there are Long people who have exceeded the limit of Long, and then there are the Shen Li people, the Demon Zhong people, and then they seem to be the Shen Yu people, and the Devil abandoned people."
Hu Zi said to Mu Ziyun: "If we want to choose, we must choose God, and we can't go through evil ways."
The man laughed loudly, and Huzi said embarrassedly: "Brother, I'm not talking about you."
"Newcomers, I would like to advise you that being possessed or being possessed is not a choice between good and bad. Most of the bad guys in this world choose to be possessed because they are ambitious and patient. They would rather endure humiliation and live quietly than take the slightest risk. In the end, they will be trampled on. At the top of this world. I am a savage who can only live happily, so why bother to suffer and practice all day and night."
"Yes, brother is right, we don't have that kind of ambition, but" Huzi said with a smile, "I still feel that being possessed by a demon is a bit infiltrative, and being possessed by a trance sounds much better."
"Yeah, it's up to you. I'll leave first." It turned out that the boat had arrived at the destination, and the man only carried a bag and ran away. After the two of them set foot on the ground, before they could shout excitedly, someone approached and said, "How much is it?"
"What?" Mu Ziyun asked.
The man pointed to the boat behind him and said, "Well, boats, you won't need boats when you come to Guanglang Liuli Island. If you want to leave, there will be boat sellers on the other side of the island. This is the rule of this island."
The two of them looked to the side and found that everyone was selling boats. Not knowing the market situation here, the two of them sold the boats at a random price and walked to the island with their things.
Although this is called an island, it is actually much larger than Huzhou. Even if Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi fly, they will have to fly for several months to reach their opponent.
The two of them didn't know the way, so they ran in as they pleased. There were many side roads here, and pedestrians walked very fast. Gradually, the two of them reached a place where there were fewer people. Huzi carried the hammer and the package on his back, wiped his sweat and said, "Go to a higher place and look for something to eat."
Mu Ziyun looked around and soon found a wooden pole, which was several feet thick. Several bodies hung down from the pole and were tied to nails inserted into the ground. Mu Ziyun put down the package and stretched his waist. His mouth was dry and he was about to fly. Going up, a gust of wind hit my face. I squinted my eyes and opened them again, and saw a boy standing on the head of the wooden pole.
About the same size as Mu Ziyun, the back part of his head is tied with a black rope, and the rest is neatly scattered on the side of the face. He looks like a celestial being. He is handsome beyond ordinary, especially those eyes. If the little matchmaker's eyes can attract people's soul, , his eyes can shock the soul, his right hand is on his side, and his left hand is holding a black lacquered slender knife (in the shape of a Tang knife). There is a Taoist talisman tied to the slender handle with the word "Feng" written on it.
His clothes are all black, and when he casually looks into the distance, he has the majesty of an imperial city. However, his expression is very cold from beginning to end. Although the wind makes his clothes float, it makes people feel that he is heavier than the mountains, as if he is as tall as the tree. The poles grow together.
This kid seemed to be looking for a way too. The two of them met each other for a moment. Is it weird? Mu Ziyun thought to himself, why do I feel that this person is so kind, closer than the girl on the boat last night? Could it be that I have been sick at sea for many days without seeing anyone, but I just met so many people, and I don't feel the same way?
The boy's eyes were cold and he still didn't change his expression. Mu Ziyun grinned and said with a smile: "This one"
"roll!"
Mu Ziyun was dumbfounded by his sudden words. The boy's eyes seemed to move. He turned around and lightly stepped on his feet, then jumped out more than ten feet away, flying around various buildings or branches.
Mu Ziyun felt friendly, and the boy was also very strange. He rarely talked and never interacted with others. However, when he just saw Mu Ziyun, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, which actually made him have the urge to speak. It's just that he was not kind. When communicating, you can think of the word "go" in an instant.
Mu Ziyun's mouth was still open, Hu Zi stood aside and covered his mouth and burst into laughter, then patted Mu Ziyun on the shoulder, laughed and bent over, Mu Ziyun smacked his lips and cursed in a low voice: "Your mother of."
Along the way, he was full of anger. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He took out a few breaths and said, "This kid! He needs to be beaten!" Huzi smiled and said, "It's enough if someone doesn't beat you. Did you see that? He can move more than ten feet in one step, and he is even more powerful than you."
"Then you have to be beaten!"
While they were talking, they walked into the grass somewhere. When they saw smoke in front of them, their stomachs growled together. They forgot about everything and ran over there in a hurry.
"Hey!" Suddenly a small palm patted Mu Ziyun's shoulder, and then a playful face turned to the girl in front of him, who was wearing a bell pendant in her left ear on the blue boat.
Mu Ziyun still felt friendly when he saw it again, so he asked, "Are you looking for me?"
The girl nodded her head in agreement, very lively, and the corners of her mouth were bent and raised, making people enchanted by the sight.
"you know me?"
"I don't know you." The girl put her hands behind her back and said cheerfully: "But I think you look familiar. We should have met before. What is your name?" The girl knew that she had never seen this person before, but for some reason she felt that this boy looked very friendly. She He has an eccentric temperament, so of course he has to come over and test it out.
"My name is Mu Ziyun, and this is my brother Du Hu. We are from Huzhou, hehe." Mu Ziyun blushed a little.
"Oh, hello, Brother Ziyun, hello, Brother Huzi, my name is Lingdang, and I come from the Four Beast Realm."
"Nice to meet you," Huzi said with a smile. Mu Ziyun thought to himself, there is such a person who wears a bell and is called a bell.
Lingdang stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Ziyun, do you want to go to dinner? Take me with you. I don't have any money."
Huzi said: "Huh? You are dressed well. Did you lose your money?"
"Yeah, lost it, hum." The girl pouted and said angrily, "Just now they all threw things into the sea. I followed suit, but accidentally threw away all the money."
"Haha, let's go eat together, we're starving too."
"Yeah"
The three of them walked happily towards the smoke.
