Bu Xiaotian nodded heavily and explained:
"I have told you before that my long sword is the legendary 'Go-Jiang'. It is a pair with another divine sword 'Moye' that was made at the same time. 'Go-Jiang' is a male sword." Moye' is a female sword."
Before Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, Letian had already guessed what he was going to say next. A look of surprise appeared on his face and he asked:
"Could it be that the female sword in Senior Sister Lan's hand is the legendary sword - 'Moye'?"
Bu Xiaotian nodded again and said:
"Um."
Seeing Bu Xiaotian nod, Letian confirmed his guess, and then asked:
"So that's why you often look at her secretly?"
When he heard Letian say the words "look at her secretly", Bu Xiaotian's ears turned red and he nodded again in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Letian shook his head and said word by word:
"I do not believe!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's suddenly surprised look, Letian said slowly:
"First of all, when you look at Senior Sister Lan, eight out of ten times you look at her, not at the sword in her hand.
Secondly, I am not a fool. Although the look in your eyes at him is very vague and often fleeting, it still betrays your thoughts.
I can conclude..."
When Lotte said this, he paused deliberately, and then continued:
"You~ like~ her~"
Hearing the last four words, it was like a thunder that exploded in Bu Xiaotian's heart. Bu Xiaotian suddenly blushed with embarrassment, shook his head hurriedly and denied:
"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's hasty denial after hearing what he said, Letian burst out laughing. It took a while before he stopped laughing and said with a smile:
"I wasn't sure at first. I just tried to deceive you, but your reaction turned out to be self-inflicted!"
Bu Xiaotian immediately understood that he had been fooled by Letian!
But now I realize it is too late, so I have to plead with Lotte:
"Please don't tell anyone else about this! Especially Senior Sister Lan!"
Letian looked at the pleading look on Bu Xiaotian's face and said doubtfully:
"You obviously like her, why don't you say it?
If you keep it in your heart like this, how will she know that you like her?
Maybe one day she will fall in love with someone else, and then it will be too late for you to regret it! "
Hearing this, Bu Xiaotian showed a hint of bitterness on his face and said:
"I know, but I can't say that even if she does get together with someone else in the future, I will only bless her secretly!"
Lotte is still a little puzzled:
"Why don't you tell me?"
"Senior Sister Lan is a proud daughter of heaven. I am just an ordinary disciple. I always feel ashamed in front of her. Besides, I still have things to do. I don't know what the outcome will be. I don't want her to be the same." Get involved.
If one day I finish what I should do and she hasn't met anyone else yet, I will definitely express my feelings to her. Even if she really rejects me, I won't have any complaints!
Promise me not to tell Senior Sister Lan about this! "
After listening to Bu Xiaotian's words, Letian didn't know what to say, so he agreed:
"good!"
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian stopped talking, Letian stopped staying any longer and turned around and walked out of the room, leaving him alone in the room in a daze.
As the door was closed by Lotte, the room gradually became quiet, as if even the noise on the street was cut off. Bu Xiaotian looked in the direction of the South China Sea, wondering what he was thinking.
Although his sight was blocked by the tall city wall, there was still a slight fishy breeze blowing in from the window, shaking his clothes, and then slipped out through the gap in the door.
…
The next morning, the sun was rising.
After a night's rest, several people met in the inn lobby.
Bu Xiaotian thought of the conversation with Letian in the room yesterday and glanced at Lan Yunxin without leaving any trace.
He was still as beautiful as ever, standing quietly where he was, like a fairy on earth.
Seeing that Lan Yunxin didn't show any strange expression, Bu Xiaotian knew that what he was worried about had not happened, and his slightly hanging heart was relieved.
Each of them carried a somewhat bloated package. This was dry food that Lotte went out to buy yesterday. Although there was no shortage of edible fish and shrimps in the sea, they were at sea after all, and there was no place to make a fire. They couldn't eat raw food, right? ?
Letian looked at the slight change in Bu Xiaotian's expression, then looked at Lan Yunxin on the other side, shook his head slightly and said nothing.
"Amitabha!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Fa Ming announced the Buddha's name and said:
"Now that everyone is ready, let's set off now."
"good!"
The other three people had no objections and nodded.
In this way, several people left the inn and walked towards the city gate on the other side.
On this side of the sea, the city wall is tall and thick, more than twice as majestic and strong as the city wall on the other side.
Compared with the nearly ten feet high city wall here, the city wall they entered yesterday looked like a courtyard wall built by an ordinary wealthy family.
There are a lot fewer city gates here. There are two pairs of small doors embedded in the wall far apart, one for entry and one for exit.
The city gate is narrow, barely large enough for two people to walk side by side.
Although the door out of the city was open, no one was seen going out. Maybe it was because the siren was making such a fuss that no one dared to go out?
There are also two people standing in front of the door. They should be gatekeepers like brothers Jiang Rulong and Jiang Ruhai.
When Bu Xiaotian and his party walked to the door, the two people just glanced at them with slight surprise, but didn't say much.
The four of them entered the city gate one after another without any intention of talking to each other.
After entering the city gate, I discovered that the city wall was not only very high, but also very thick, as much as five feet thick. Behind the small city gate was a long corridor, sloping slightly downward, although there was light shining in from the entrance of the corridor in front. , but still seems a bit dark.
Several people couldn't help but quicken their pace and walked out of the door on the other side in less than a moment.
After exiting the gate, the front suddenly became wide and bright.
Except for the extremely tall city wall behind him, there is no other obstruction around him.
In front of me is the endless sea, with waves of sea wind blowing in front of me, pushing layers of waves onto the beach. When they recede, another layer of waves rushes up again. The rays of the morning sun shine on the sea, complementing the blue sky. , so refreshing!
Looking at the scene of the sea and sky intersecting in the distance, several people felt an inexplicable sense of relief in their hearts.
There are hundreds of large and small boats on the distant shore, including fishing boats, cargo ships, and passenger ships specially designed for people to go out to sea.
There were a few scattered ordinary people nearby, walking towards the coast where the boat was parked, and it seemed they were going to sea.
But Bu Xiaotian and the others have no intention of getting a boat. The place they want to go is Cangwu Mountain, which is three thousand miles away from here. It doesn’t matter whether it can be reached by ordinary boats. Even if it can be reached, it will take several months. time, it is easy to lose direction.
And if there are only a few of them on a large ship, they cannot be used, nor can they find ordinary people to sail the ship. If they really encounter a sea monster, they are still sure of being able to escape unscathed, while ordinary people can only wait to die.
The few people stopped staying any longer. Lotte sacrificed his magic weapon and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the depths of the South China Sea. When the others saw Lotte flying away, they all sacrificed their magic weapons and followed closely.
Someone in the distance noticed the movements of the four of them and suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.
But in the blink of an eye, the four figures disappeared into the distant sky, leaving only a few ordinary people with expressions of admiration and admiration on their faces.
In the evening three days later, about 2,500 miles deep into the South China Sea, on a small island that should have been deserted, several people were sitting cross-legged and meditating.
It was Bu Xiaotian and his party who set off from Haizhou City and entered the South China Sea three days ago.
In order to guard against the group of sea monsters that they might encounter at any time along the way, they did not go all out, otherwise they would have reached Cangwu Mountain by now.
Although Lotte has only been to Nanhai once, he has memorized the route here firmly in his heart. He led several people to fly along the way. With the compass in his hand, he could always find such a place when the sky was getting dark. Rest on the island.
It is said to be a small island, but in fact it is just a ten-foot-wide reef exposed out of the sea. There are only a few grasses swaying in the wind. I don't know how they survived here.
After listening to the words of the two brothers Jiang Rulong and Jiang Ruhai outside Haizhou City that day, they had been prepared for the attack of the sea monster. However, in the past three days, the situation they were worried about did not appear, and they did not even see a sea monster.
If the two brothers didn't look fake when they spoke, they would have suspected whether they had been deceived.
When they first entered the sea, the four of them were surprised to see some strange seabirds and fish. However, the scenes they saw every day during these three days were almost the same. Looking around, they saw nothing but blue sky except sea water. I can't help but feel a little boring.
None of them were in the mood to speak, they just sat there silently recovering their energy.
Gradually, the blood-red sunset sank into the sea, the red-golden afterglow also disappeared little by little, and the sky became dark.
I don't know since when, the sea breeze gradually became stronger, and huge waves hit the reef where they were standing one after another. A few grasses swayed left and right in the wind, as if they would be swept away by the strong wind at any time, but they eventually Still persisted.
The four of them just sat cross-legged on the rock, letting the strong wind blow and fluttering up and down, but their bodies remained motionless.
Layers of clouds gathered in the dark sky, blocking the light of the stars and the moon, making the surrounding area even darker.
Boom——
Dull thunder sounded in the distance, one after another.
Finally, a raindrop as big as a bean was carried by the strong wind and slapped on Bu Xiaotian's face, making a soft "pop" sound, which was covered up by the howling wind.
It's raining.
The rain came quickly, from just a few scattered raindrops at the beginning to the heavy rain in just a moment.
During the storm, Bu Xiaotian and the four of them were still sitting on the rocks motionless. As long as they released their true energy, not a drop of rain could hit them.
Thunder was rolling in the sky, and there was a violent storm all around, but the expressions of the four people did not change at all. They did not even open their eyes and take a look around, just like four statues connected to the rocks below them.
The storm lasted all night and finally stopped at dawn.
When the dark clouds dispersed, the sun had already risen, leaving only a few cotton-like white clouds floating leisurely in the sky. In the mist, a rainbow bridge appeared over the sea, which was extremely beautiful.
Several people also stopped their efforts at this time and stood up.
Faming glanced out of the corner of his eye and said in surprise:
"I didn't expect that these few weeds could withstand the wind and rain last night!"
The other three people heard the words and looked around, and sure enough they saw the weeds swaying slightly in the sun, as if they were dancing happily for the rest of their lives.
Letian looked at the few weeds and pondered for a moment, then said:
“They have been growing here since the beginning, and they were born with no choice. They are surrounded by sea water, and they can only survive by relying on rain from the sky.
But it can't rain every day here, so they have no choice but to dig their roots deep into the cracks in the rocks to absorb the remaining rain and moisture inside and barely survive.
This heavy rain seems to have brought them great torture, but at the same time, it also brings hope of life.
Not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners like us are struggling to survive in this world? "
"Amitabha!"
After hearing what Letian said, Faming seemed to have realized something, clasped his hands together and said:
"Senior Brother Letian's words are deeply indicative of Buddha-nature. He is a man of great wisdom. Why don't you enter my Buddhist door and cultivate to the supreme enlightenment?"
Faming had said this several times since he learned that Lotte was a casual cultivator. Seeing him mention it again, he joked as always:
"Come on! You have too many precepts to be a monk. I don't want to live within the rules all day long. Is the wine not good? The meat is not delicious? Or is my wife too cruel? Do I want to become a monk without thinking? "
Fa Ming was not upset when he was rejected. Just when he was about to continue persuading, Bu Xiaotian who was listening to the side suddenly said in surprise:
"What do you think that is?"
