The time on the merchant ship is quite boring. As we go out to sea, the scenery outside disappears.
Instead, there is a busy, boundless sea.
Zhang Qingfeng spent most of his time in his room meditating and practicing carefully.
He has encountered a bottleneck, but has been unable to cross it and reach the next level.
But Zhang Qingfeng is not in a hurry.
Patriarch Bodhi once said that you should not force your practice, what matters is that it will happen naturally.
Sometimes being too persistent in breaking through the realm makes it difficult to reach the realm of enlightenment.
Life on the merchant ship was quite simple. After eating, I would chat with Xiao Wuyan and others.
Everyone is quite familiar with each other.
In the early morning, when it was dawn, Zhang Qingfeng walked out of his bedroom and came to the deck. Liu Xudong was sitting in front of the deck fishing.
"Are you up so early?" Zhang Qingfeng greeted with a smile, and then said: "I heard from Captain Wang that we should be able to arrive in the next two days."
"Well, it will probably take these two days." Liu Xudong nodded.
This merchant ship does not have any so-called satellite positioning, nor does it have any reference objects on the sea. It can only ensure that there are no big problems with the direction.
As for when exactly it will arrive, that can only be based on Captain Wang’s experience.
At this moment, a piece of land faintly appeared on the sea ahead.
"arrive?"
Looking at the distant land, Zhang Qingfeng and Liu Xudong looked at each other and hurried to notify Wang Daolin.
Others, more or less, also heard the news and rushed to the deck immediately.
Although the journey was uneventful, the days on board were indeed difficult.
After the ship docked, Wang Daolin held the telescope in his hand and said: "Well, it is indeed Xiniu Hezhou, anchored."
Later, Wang Daolin said to Xiao Wuyan who came after hearing the news: "Team leader Xiao, I will have someone take you to the shore in a small boat later, and then the boat will stay here for half a month."
"You try to come back within half a month."
"If you can't make it back in time, you have no choice but to go to the Lingang Pier in the Shitu Kingdom. We have our people there too. Then you can just find a captain named Hu."
"The Lion and Camel Kingdom is very big. It is a real demon kingdom. Remember to pay attention to your safety." Wang Daolin said with a smile.
Zhang Qingfeng and others nodded. On the way, they naturally learned many clues about the Lion and Camel Kingdom from Wang Daolin.
To put it simply, there are still many humans in the Shitu Kingdom, but most of them are treated as slaves.
In this country, only monsters can do business and serve as officials...
From top to bottom, it is a complete demon kingdom.
Zhang Qingfeng, Yi Qingling, Chu Wanning, Xiao Wuyan, Liu Xudong, Fang Jin, Qian Guli.
A group of seven people quickly boarded a small boat and were slowly taken to the shore by the crew.
After sending them ashore, the crew quickly left.
There is a dense forest near the shore.
Xiao Wuyan took out a simple map of the Lion and Camel Kingdom drawn by the Demon Catching Bureau.
He frowned slightly, thought for a while, pointed to the map and said: "Our approximate location is right here. Walking out of this forest is a place called Red Earth City. Once we get to Red Earth City, we need to find a way to get some horses to drive.
Towards the capital of the Lion and Camel Kingdom."
"After we arrive in the capital, we have to find our own way to find Yang Mu's whereabouts."
Speaking of this, Xiao Wuyan pondered for a moment and said: "The three great demons of the Lion and Camel Kingdom are unusual. If we encounter the three demons of the Green Lion, the Dapeng, and the White Elephant, we cannot force them to defeat them."
After a pause, Xiao Wuyan said: "The first goal is to find a way to find Yang Mu."
"yes."
Everyone nodded and then headed into the dense forest.
…
At the same time, in the Lion and Camel Kingdom, inside the magnificent palace.
In the main hall, several great demons were sitting together, and the table was filled with delicacies from all over the world.
The three great demons, each with the head of an animal or human body, ate the delicacies on the table.
After a while, a figure slowly walked into the hall.
It was Yang Mu. Yang Mu had a sullen face and was wearing a black robe.
"Brother is here." The three monsters, Dapeng, White Elephant, and Blue Lion, stood up quickly.
The four of them became sworn brothers three hundred years ago.
"Everyone, take a seat." Yang Mu smiled faintly and sat down casually.
"Brother, I heard that Tang Sanzang is coming to our lion and camel country recently. If you eat his meat, will you really live forever? Will your cultivation level be greatly increased?" White Lion licked his lips.
"Yes, brother." Bai Xiang whispered: "This word first spread from us. As a result, monsters from all over the world rushed to eat Tang Sanzang..."
Yang Mu said slowly: "He is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. He has been practicing for ten lives. If you eat him, your cultivation level will definitely increase greatly."
"It's just that you remember, after catching Tang Sanzang, don't talk nonsense, and don't tie him up for two days before eating him."
"On the way back, I ordered someone to set up a frying pan. You can even eat it raw."
"Eat him immediately, don't give Sun Wukong a chance to find someone else."
Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how many monsters caught Tang Seng along the way, and ended up popping champagne at halftime.
Either Sun Wukong will come to your door, or Sun Wukong will find various gods to deal with him.
"Brother is right." Bai Xiang nodded repeatedly.
Yang Mu asked slowly: "How many of those people in the demon catching bureau have caught?"
"Seventy or eighty of them, they are all locked up in the dungeon." Bai Xiang was a little puzzled.
Yang Mu's eyes flickered for a while, and he asked slowly: "Is there anyone named Liu Xun, or does anyone among them know Liu Xun?"
Bai Xiang shook his head and said, "No, they all claimed not to know him."
"Then, where is the entrance to the forbidden area?"
Bai Xiang still shook his head: "These guys are very tight-lipped. No matter how they are tortured, they still refuse to tell where the entrance to the forbidden area is."
Speaking of this, Bai Xiang was a little confused and asked: "Brother, what is the so-called entrance to the forbidden area that you are trying so hard to find?"
"You have been more concerned about this issue recently than you were about Tang Sanzang."
Yang Mu just smiled and said, "It's okay, let's eat."
…
A few days later.
Seven fast horses arrived in front of the capital of the Lion and Camel Kingdom.
On the city gate, there are also carved statues of lions, elephants and rocs.
However, the guards here are also humans.
"We're finally here." Zhang Qingfeng frowned slightly and looked at the scene in front of them. Along the way, they saw a lot of monsters.
There are even some monsters. Seeing that they have good prospects, I want to catch a few of them and send them to the market to be sold.
Naturally, the monster disappeared from the world.
"When you get to the capital of the Lion and Camel Kingdom, keep a low profile." Xiao Wuyan reminded, and soon, several of them dismounted, sent the horses away, and then walked into the capital.
