Linhai Pier.
Ahead was a huge ship docked on the shore.
Most of the surrounding boats are fishing boats, which are slightly smaller in size. Only this long-voyaging sea-going ship looks very huge.
"This large ship will have to dock for two hours and replenish all kinds of supplies before it can set off."
The scholar breathed out and said: "But we also need to buy some things to prepare. You don't need anything. I haven't been able to live without food. I still need to prepare food and clothing. You were always urging me to escape before, and I was everywhere.
I want to inquire about the news, but I don’t have time to prepare these miscellaneous things..."
"What do you mean, I'm urging you to run for your life?"
The voice in the bronze mirror seemed quite dissatisfied and said angrily: "It's not like you haven't noticed that that dragon is clearly a great demon comparable to the Golden Pill. It defeated the Zhennan Army and disrupted the secular dynasty. There will definitely be extreme consequences.
Big troubles will bring out the experts gathered in the Holy Mountain."
"Although I don't know why, there has been no movement on Jusheng Mountain so far, but I conclude that there will be movement on Jusheng Mountain sooner or later."
"Sooner or later, this dragon will be killed, but do you think that if you kill a dragon at Jusheng Mountain, you will stop there?"
"If you think so, you are a bit naive. I can conclude that after the disciples of Jushengshan slayed the dragon, they will definitely have to monitor this world."
"You possess true energy. Although you have not yet condensed the Dao Seal and cannot be said to be a cultivator who has entered the temple, I may not be able to escape with my life. Last time I was lucky enough to have a remnant soul, so this time I may not be able to escape."
"I originally wanted to try to seize King Chen's treasure, but I got the chance to escape from the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain and obtain the Taoist Seal overseas."
"Unexpectedly, a Zhuang Ming appeared from the sky, took the treasure by force, and raised a dragon."
"He will definitely be finished. If you and I continue to stay, we will also be implicated."
"If you don't run for your life, the day he is killed by the Jusheng Mountain will be the day when you and I will suffer."
"You brat, you're still smarter than you are old. Just listen to my teacher and you won't be wrong."
——
Twenty miles away.
There was a carriage moving slowly.
The horses are magnificent and the carriage has a simple appearance without too many decorations, but it still does not hide the fine workmanship.
"Sir, everything in Huai'an has been prepared," Lu He said in a low voice as he rode beside the car.
"Where is Huaibei? What do I want?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"I was transferred from Huaibei last night. I was delayed a little on the way. I probably won't arrive until later."
"In less than an hour, it's time to set sail." Zhuang Ming said thoughtfully.
"Liu He has already gone to take care of these things. As for the dock, Bai Qing has already gone to summons. It will be delayed for an hour."
"Then just wait."
——
An hour and a half later.
The scholar came back here again with his baggage on his back.
He looked at the huge ship, spat, and cursed: "This ship is really dark. A trip to the sea with the ship actually costs one hundred taels of silver. Fortunately, I just borrowed some silver."
He actually didn't have much silver in his hands, so he had no choice but to borrow it.
Although there are no acquaintances everywhere, there are quite a few wealthy people.
He has many ways to make people donate generously.
For example, the one hundred taels of silver on hand was borrowed from a fat old man who was greedy for wealth.
As for how you can conclude that someone is rich and unkind even if you have never met him?
This method of identification is very simple. He can't even pay the boat fare, and the rich old man is still unwilling to donate generously. He has a heart of stone, so how can he be benevolent and righteous?
"The ship will leave in half an hour, should we board the ship now?"
"You can't get on this boat." A voice suddenly came from the bronze mirror.
"Why?" the scholar asked in astonishment.
"The people on the ship all have bad fortunes and are extremely dark. There is a thick haze between their brows and eyes, which is probably unknown." The voice in the bronze mirror seemed quite solemn.
"Unknown?" the scholar asked doubtfully.
"To put it bluntly, they are all about to die." Bronze Mirror sighed slightly.
"What?" The scholar was startled and said, "Are you all poisoned?"
"It's not like poisoning, but the whole ship is shrouded in haze. I'm afraid something big will happen if you go out to sea on this trip. If you board the ship, you won't be able to escape." Bronze Mirror's voice became deeper and deeper.
"This..." The scholar hesitated for a moment and said, "What should we do now?"
"Abandon ship." The voice in the bronze mirror said solemnly.
"I paid all the fare." The scholar suddenly took a breath.
"Do you want to die?" Bronze Mirror's voice said angrily.
"Didn't you say that if you stay in Jusheng Mountain, you will definitely die?" The scholar said helplessly: "You have agreed to go to sea as soon as possible."
"If you board the ship now, you will definitely die." The voice in the bronze mirror also showed some hesitation, and finally said: "Anyway, it has been delayed for several days. Let's wait for another two days and continue to look for other ships to go to sea."
——
But at this moment, I saw a horse galloping towards me.
There is a man above, with a solemn face and a slightly ferocious look. He carries a sword at his waist, but his right sleeve is empty. He is clearly a one-armed man.
He rode his horse to the pier, immediately dismounted, jumped lightly, and got onto the ship.
"Old Wu."
"Master Bai?"
"it's me."
Bai Qing said seriously: "The ship will set off temporarily."
The captain of the boat asked in astonishment: "Why?"
Bai Qing came closer and whispered: "Young Master is on the way, preparing to take your ship to sea."
The boss of the boat looked surprised and said in surprise: "Young Master?"
Bai Qing stretched out his hand, pressed him down, and said: "Don't make any noise, this trip to sea is a secret, and the identity of the young master cannot be exposed."
The captain's expression changed slightly, then he nodded and asked, "When will the young master arrive?"
Bai Qing responded: "Young Master has been here for less than half an hour. However, a batch of goods has arrived from Huaibei and will be delayed for a while. You have to postpone setting sail."
The boss of the ship nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. Our ship only transports goods to sea and carries passengers. There are not many people on board. Just let them know. If they don't agree, we will return the shipping fee to them..."
——
On the dock.
The scholar rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
Although he had agreed on the boat not to return, no one could take advantage of him.
"Don't add extraneous branches." A helpless voice came from the bronze mirror.
"Teacher, since we are not going to go, we have to return the one hundred taels of silver for the shipping fee. It is only natural and right," the scholar said sternly.
"You are good at everything, but you take money too seriously."
"You have never experienced the grievances from childhood to adulthood."
The scholar took a deep breath and prepared to board the ship to argue. He paused and then said hurriedly: "If there are warriors on the ship, I can't defeat them. You have to help me."
The bronze mirror in his arms was silent.
At this moment, a strong man was seen walking to the bow of the ship and shouting loudly.
"The ship will continue to dock and set sail for the time being. The specific time has not yet been determined."
This strong man was tall and strong. He raised his head slightly and shouted: "Friends who have paid the boat fare before, if they are not willing to wait, you can refund the boat fee and find another way."
However, he also seemed quite confident. The Dongsheng Dynasty had very little contact with overseas countries and was relatively closed-off. Most of the ships that went out to sea were fishing boats that made a living in the offshore, and there were only a few that could actually travel overseas.
The scholar was quite angry when he saw such a tone.
"What a bastard! So irritating!"
"Let us wait?"
"Are you looking for another way?"
In the past, he would have been extremely dissatisfied, but at this moment, he suddenly thought that he had to refund the shipping fee. He thought it was not easy to refund the shipping fee, so he probably had to force it.
Isn’t it just what you want now?
Thinking of this, the scholar felt relieved.
God is really helping me!
"I am indeed a person blessed by nature and blessed by heaven."
The scholar laughed and was about to step forward to collect the boat fare.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the bronze mirror in his arms.
"etc!"
"What's wrong, teacher?"
"Strange things..." The voice in the bronze mirror said with a hint of confusion: "The disaster on this ship has disappeared, and the haze and death energy on them have all dissipated."
"What?" The scholar was quite surprised.
"It's okay now. You can go to sea with this ship." The voice in the bronze mirror said in a low voice.
"Teacher..." The scholar's tone was strange.
"Um?"
"I always feel..." The scholar paused for a moment, then his expression became more complicated and said, "You always seem to be teasing me?"
"..."
"Do you really think this is funny?"
