After staying on Taohua Island for a few more days, Xiang Nan and Guo Jing left immediately and prepared to return to Jiaxing as it was approaching August 15th.
Zhou Botong just got windsurfing these days. Because it can use the wind power of a sail, it is faster, more difficult, and naturally more thrilling than a surfboard. Therefore, Zhou Botong has been playing so hard these days that he doesn't want to go back to Jiaxing.
However, when he heard that there was a fight back in Jiaxing, not only between Xiang Nan and Guo Jing, but also between Quanzhen Sect, Jiangnan Seven Monsters, and the northern martial arts, he immediately became interested in watching the excitement.
"If you don't call me during the fight, how can you do that? Let's go together, go together." Zhou Botong said immediately.
"Old naughty boy, this competition is related to the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect. You are not allowed to mess around. Otherwise, the Quanzhen Sect loses and the Chongyang Patriarch will lose face." Xiang Nan warned.
"With me here, how can the Quanzhen Sect lose? If anyone dares to disgrace my senior brother, I, the old naughty boy, will definitely not give up." Zhou Botong said immediately after hearing this.
"Hey, that's right." Xiang Nan smiled, "Behave well and I'll make a skateboard for you later."
"Good brother, what is skateboarding?" Zhou Botong immediately asked curiously.
Xiang Nan then briefly explained how to play skateboarding.
Zhou Botong was indeed interested and nodded immediately.
"Master Huang, do you want to go with us?" Xiang Nan invited Huang Yaoshi again.
"..." Huang Yaoshi hesitated for a while.
In fact, he had been on Peach Blossom Island for twenty years and was already tired of staying there. He also wanted to go out for a walk. It's just that a person as arrogant as him can jump forward as soon as he hears the excitement. What kind of style is there?
"This is a major event in the martial arts world between the north and the south. I'm sure Ouyang Feng will definitely go, and the Nine-fingered God Beggar Gang Leader Hong will definitely not be absent." Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately smiled and said, "If Lord Huang doesn't go, wouldn't he be disgraced? few."
When Huang Yaoshi heard this, he felt that it made sense.
If Xi Du and Bei Bei both go, what can I do if I don’t go? After all, Peach Blossom Island is located off the coast of Jiaxing, and he is half the owner. If he doesn't show up, he seems to be afraid of them.
At that moment, he also decided to go together.
…
Afterwards, everyone came to the dock together and prepared to sail the boat out to sea.
"Everyone, let's get on the boat." Huang Yaoshi took the lead and said.
"Hey, Huang Laoxie, you are so stingy. Why don't you let us ride on that new ship, but let us ride on this old ship?" Zhou Botong said unhappily when he saw it.
It turned out that there were eight large ships docked at the pier, one of which was particularly beautiful, with a high stern and gorgeous appearance. The hull was painted brilliantly and stood out.
In comparison, the boat they were riding now was small and old, a big difference.
Huang Yaoshi's expression changed slightly and he said, "Botong, this boat is broken and has not been repaired. We cannot sit on it."
Seeing that the boat was very new, Zhou Botong didn't believe it was bad at all. He curled his lips and said, "I have to take that new boat! Huang Laoxie, why are you so stingy?"
Huang Yaoshi said: "This boat is the most unlucky. The people on it are either sick or in trouble, so it is never used when it is docked here. How could I be stingy? If you don't believe it, I will burn the boat right away to show you."
After saying that, they made a few gestures, and the four mute servants immediately lit the firewood and ran over to burn the boat.
Zhou Botong suddenly sat down on the ground, tugged at his beard, and cried loudly, "I want to take a new boat, I want to take a new boat."
"Old naughty boy, don't be ridiculous, Island Master Huang is doing this for your own good." Seeing that he was confused, Xiang Nan immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth, "Do you know that there is a custom in the south of sending plague ships.
If a plague breaks out in a place, a ship will be built and sent to the sea. This boat looks new, but in fact the bottom of the boat is made of raw rubber and ropes. Once it enters the sea, it will disperse when encountering wind and waves.
When the time comes, no matter how great your martial arts skills are, if you fall into the vast sea, you will definitely die. So Lord Huang is doing it for your own good and doesn't want you to die, so stop messing around. "
After Zhou Botong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he climbed up from the ground and said, "So that's it. If you had told me earlier, I would have wasted all my efforts for a long time."
Huang Yaoshi had a look of astonishment on his face. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to know Hua Chuan so well, as if he was a prophet of the unknown. It was really weird. However, in the past month, Xiang Nan seemed to have too much talent, and he was already used to it.
"Tell you to stop fooling around." Xiang Nan smiled, "Just be honest, I'll tell you something fun later."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Botong nodded.
…
Immediately, the boatman raised anchor and sail, taking advantage of the south wind to sail westward.
"Good brother, what fun do you have?" Zhou Botong asked as soon as he went to sea.
Xiang Nan smiled, then found a fishing rod and bait, threw it into the sea, and in a short time, he caught a big shark.
"It's just fishing, what's so fun?" Zhou Botong asked puzzledly when he saw this.
Xiang Nan did not waste his mouthpiece explanation, but directly found two wooden sticks and propped them between the shark's upper and lower lips. Then he smiled at Zhou Botong and said, "Old naughty boy, have you ever ridden a horse? Have you ever ridden a shark?"
"Ride a shark?!" When Zhou Botong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiang Nan then threw the shark into the sea. As soon as a shark enters the water, it immediately tries to escape.
When the old naughty boy saw this, he immediately jumped down and sat on the back of the shark.
When the shark is frightened, it will dive around.
"Old naughty boy, beat it." Xiang Nan shouted.
The old naughty boy slapped the shark's head with his palm, which made the shark painful and became more and more fierce.
Seeing this, the old naughty boy firmly grasped the head and neck with both hands and kicked the shark's belly with both legs. After struggling for about two hours, the fierce shark finally gave in and allowed the old naughty boy to drive him.
The old naughty boy immediately rode it across the sea, galloping east and west, just like a horse on land, and was very happy.
Seeing this scene, Huang Rong's eyes shone with envy, "I have been playing in the sea for so many years, why didn't I think of this thing? How stupid!"
Huang Yaoshi also nodded secretly, admiring Xiang Nan's clever idea for being able to think of such a thing.
…
After two days of sailing, the ship arrived in Jiaxing.
It is now August 14th.
After the boat docked, Zhou Botong took out the wooden stick from the shark's mouth and threw it back into the water. "Old man, you go back first. I'll come play with you another day."
After the shark returned to the water, it immediately swam towards the deep sea, fearing that it would never dare to touch bait again in this life.
"Good brother, you really have an idea. This is really fun." Zhou Botong happily said to Xiang Nan.
He had stayed on Peach Blossom Island for fifteen years and never thought about riding a shark. If he had known it was so fun, he wouldn't have been so bored that he started fighting with himself.
But then again, if he didn't know how to fight each other, he wouldn't dare to go out of the cave to play at will.
"Nothing, there are more fun things." Xiang Nan smiled, "Let's go, let's go to Zuixian Tower first."
Qiu Chuji and the Jiangnan Seven Monsters arranged to compete at the Zuixian Tower, while the Jiangnan Seven Monsters and Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian and others arranged to compete at the Yanyu Tower.
