Qin Xuanji took Cao Jinxing to the pier and prepared to board the ship to Zhenshou Island.
This is the only place on Kiryu Island open to the public. The fog is slightly sparse and there are many merchant ships parked on the sea, all coming to Kiryu Island for trade.
The passengers on the ship have different appearances, including Central Plains people, Nanyang people, Frankies... many of them can be identified as "not my race" at a glance.
There are many businesses operating on Wuliu Island, including selling fish, pearls and "green heads".
The islanders of Wuliu Island are good at fishing, pearl hunting, and even better at raising clams. Although the pearls produced are not as brilliant and rich as the pearls in the Fang family's secret place "Wanzhu Cave", the blue light is faint, as if
Yuehua has a mysterious and magnificent beauty, which is loved by various forces. Every year, merchant ships come to buy it at no expense.
"Second Miss."
"Second Miss."
…
As Qin Xuanji walked along, the vendors on both sides saluted respectfully.
The Qin family taught the islanders how to make a living. It is all because of the Qin family that Wuliu Island has developed to the extent it is today, and the islanders are all grateful.
Qin Xuanji nodded in return, held Cao Jinxing by one arm, and slowly came to the center of the pier.
Cao Jinxing noticed that in addition to selling fish and beads, the vendors also sold porcelain, weapons, and even low-grade martial arts secrets.
"What's this……"
Cao Jinxing became interested. Is there such a workshop on the island? Look at the porcelain and weapons, and they don't look like new ones.
"This is something salvaged from a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea. We call it 'Qingtou' here."
Qin Xuanji explained: "The weather at sea is changeable, storms and fog occur from time to time, and many merchant ships capsize and run aground because of this. There is no shortage of treasures on board. There are porcelain, weapons, spices, wood, glassware and other ordinary treasures, as well as
Treasures from heaven and earth, martial arts secrets...
There are masters on the island who specialize in Qigong. They can hold their breath for several hours in the deep sea. Just to salvage these sunken treasures, my family has trained a group of people... It seems that I haven't seen it since I came back. I guess something is wrong... By the way, you
The ink cube that was opened yesterday was fished out of the sunken ship."
"I see……"
Cao Jinxing suddenly said: "This bowl of rice doesn't taste good. There are many sea beasts in the sea. Most people don't know your "Secret Technique of Driving the Sea", so salvaging may not be easy."
"Indeed it is."
Qin Xuanji sighed and said: "But... it's not that we don't want to teach. The key to the "Secret Technique of Driving the Sea" is the 'medicine blood'. It requires soaking thousands of poisons and medicines from an early age, many of which are fourth-grade treasures.
It's so rare that it's impossible for everyone to practice it... And dad said that the secret technique of driving the sea is too overbearing, and using it too much will harm the world. If fishermen know this secret technique and don't exercise restraint, sooner or later the rare beasts will become extinct.
, this is a huge sin.”
"really."
Cao Jinxing nodded and said with sincere admiration: "Master Qin Island is far-sighted. Fortunately, this technique is in your hands. If it had been for money, all the strange beasts in the East China Sea would have been wiped out."
Qin Xuanji's eyebrows were curved, and she was very happy to hear it, and said: "There is a kind of people who don't know the "Secret Technique of Driving the Sea" and are not afraid of sea beasts. They can breathe underwater, and their swimming speed and water fighting are better than those on the shore."
"oh?"
Cao Jinxing asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"Shark man."
Qin Xuanji said: "The sharks are remnants of ancient times. It is said that they have the blood of Gonggong and can swim unimpeded in the sea. However, it is just a legend. Dad said that he has seen a real shark once, so we are not so lucky...
Here we are, this is one of my three main ships, [Caiying]."
The two came to a large ship made of sea willow wood, and saw a very beautiful hawk with spread wings on the bow of the ship.
The gangway mechanism is triggered and slowly extends to the ground.
"Second Miss."
A European with blond hair and blue eyes, holding a harp, who was in his forties, bowed slightly and had a very respectful attitude stepped out of the boat.
Cao Jinxing was a little surprised that there was actually a foreign captain in the Qin family's merchant ship. Qin Zhaonan's mind was really extraordinary.
Qin Xuanji introduced the two of them, and Cao Jinxing also learned that the captain's name was Raymond. He was originally a ship doctor in the Balkans. Fifteen years ago, when he sailed to the East China Sea with Frankie's fleet, the merchant ship he was on was attacked by a sea monster.
He was the only one left alive on the ship after being attacked and sank. He was rescued to Wuliu Island by Qin Zhaonan, and later became Qin Xuanque, Qin Xuanji's foreign language teacher.
After the two of them completed their studies, he became the captain of the Caiying due to his good sailing skills and kind-hearted character, responsible for escorting cargo between the islands.
This time I will take his boat to the Treasure Island.
The Sky-Swallowing Whale needs to stay on Kiryu Island, while the Ushiki hides on the bottom of the sea and follows along.
As for why he didn't take Duan Munan's boat... he had already said it. Qin Xuanji hated staying with him, and Cao Jinxing was not interested either.
Anyway, the poison has been administered...
The two get on the boat.
Regulus followed closely beside Cao Jinxing and looked around. Raymond seemed to like animals very much. He took out a pack of fried dried fish from his pocket and handed it to him. Regulus looked at Cao Jinxing. Cao Jinxing nodded.
Fourteen smelled it, confirmed that it was not poisonous, and went up to the deck with the small bag in his mouth.
"sail!"
Raymond gave an order, and the sailors began to rock the oars, with him controlling the rudder. The Caiying followed Duan Munan's ship in front and slowly sailed towards the Treasure Island.
"Captain Raymond has been working at my house for fifteen years. He has been working hard during these fifteen years and is not a bad person."
Qin Xuanji whispered: "Besides, what he is responsible for is not the core business. If he is not of my race, his heart must be different. Although dad has given him a future, he is always on guard against him. It will be okay."
"Um."
Cao Jinxing nodded and looked at Raymond.
Raymond was taciturn and concentrated on maneuvering the boat. Cao Jinxing felt carefully and found that he had a special energy that seemed to be similar to his internal strength.
"Huh?"
This was the first time Cao Jinxing came into contact with overseas "martial arts". He found it very interesting and murmured to himself: "This doesn't seem to be true qi, it's a bit rough, more like the 'jing qi' formed by the manifestation of vitality. It's a bit interesting...
"
Cao Jinxing thought in his mind, and a ball of milky white energy slowly appeared in his palm.
Raymond sensed it and turned his head suddenly, looking at him in disbelief: "Mr. Cao...you, why do you use 'vitality' (Latin: ur)?"
"Oh? Is this your power?"
Cao Jinxing's words were also in Latin. Raymond was even more surprised after hearing this. He looked at Qin Xuanji with wide eyes and forgot to steer the boat for a moment.
Qin Xuanji chuckled: "Jinxing's learning ability is more terrifying than that of me and eldest sister. Captain Raymond doesn't need to be surprised."
Raymond was full of surprise. Without saying a word, he called the second mate to steer the boat. Then he walked towards Cao Jinxing and exclaimed: "It's incredible! Mr. Cao can use vitality without 'baptism'. If the people of the Inquisition know about it,
, I’m afraid it will cause trouble. Mr. Cao would be better off not using this power in front of other people.”
"Inquisition?"
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows, and the ball of energy in his hand dissipated. Only then did Raymond look away and briefly talked about the origin of the power of "vital energy".
Everything in the world never changes from its origin.
The existence of "ur" in Europe is similar to the vitality of the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty, but it is paradoxical. It was discovered and promoted by the ancient Greek sage Aristotle, and became available to Europeans after his disciple Alexander the Great reformed the "meditation method"
an extraordinary power.
Aristotle believed that all creatures with souls flow this vitality, but it can only be used after it is opened or activated. This means that even if ordinary people have vitality resources, they may not be able to use it in their lifetime.
Different creatures have different amounts of vitality and different attributes due to their own characteristics, which can be roughly divided into four categories: earth, water, wind, and fire.
Cultivation is an idealistic exercise.
Because the cultivation systems are different, the exploration of power is also different. As time goes by, the methods of opening up or activating the vitality are monopolized by religions and nobles. Now Little Franky (Spain) is getting stronger and stronger, gradually becoming the first generation empire on which the sun never sets.
Go forward, what assists the king in running this huge empire is religion and the Inquisition!
In Raymond's understanding, only those who believe in God, and only God's servants "bishops" and "knights" can help others regain their strength, but Mr. Cao, who is in a foreign country and does not understand God, can actually...
If the people in the tribunal knew about this, trouble would definitely arise!
"It's not that troublesome."
Cao Jinxing smiled faintly, looked at his palms and said: "It's just the embodiment of the spirit. The goal of our cultivation is to unite heaven and man, to seize the eight qi from the outside world, and live as long as heaven; you are to strengthen your body, dig deep into your soul, and focus on
Understanding the power of the spirit is more elusive, but it is also unique...
Zhongyuan Zhenqi can use various martial arts, but your 'ur' is born and manifested by the spiritual soul. Everyone is different, and I am afraid they are all unique... Haha, isn't this a superpower? Is it possible?
Sewn."
The last sentence is inaudible.
Cao Jinxing shook his head and laughed.
It’s a credit to those gangsters who planned to find a way out for foreigners in the world of high martial arts. Otherwise, China would be too strong, both a mythical beast and a divine man, and I am afraid that it would have been able to unify the world during the time of the First Emperor.
"Mr. Cao! You..."
Raymond was even more surprised: "You...you have known about 'ur' before?"
Cao Jinxing said: "No, this is the first time I've seen it in you."
Raymond couldn't believe it and said: "How is this possible...even I don't understand it as thoroughly as you..."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said: "One method can be used to master all methods, so why bother. However, your kind of power is quite difficult to learn. Everyone's vitality is unique. My simulation is half the result with half the effort, which is far inferior to using martial arts... Lei
Captain Mond, your vitality attribute is healing, right? It can allow you to heal quickly?"
"Yes."
Raymond was shocked by Cao Jinxing, and his attitude became more and more respectful, saying: "My father originally wanted to train me to be a 'knight', but my vitality is not suitable for fighting. It can only speed up the healing of the wound. After baptism, I will
Abandoned by the Knights..."
Raymond sighed.
Cao Jinxing nodded in understanding. Little Frankie's approach is to cultivate elites. Ordinary people can't even practice martial arts.
The weak will always be weak, and the strong will be stronger!
Speaking of which, it is almost the same as Qi Jian Yue Fu. The difference is that the country is large enough, the population base is large enough, and there are no other "sects" to divide the students, so it will not face the same problem of lack of supply as Qi Jian Yue Fu.
"The Inquisition...the Frankies stationed in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou should have their shadow. After the incident of Matsuura Takanobu sponsoring Japanese pirates, those people must be expelled! They are used to eating fat meat, but they are suddenly not allowed to eat it.
There will definitely be trouble... haha."
Cao Jinxing secretly remembered that sooner or later he would face them.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can deal with them better next time you see them!
So, on the next journey, Cao Jinxing showed a strong interest in "ur". Raymond was indeed kind-hearted. He thought that Cao Jinxing was the legendary "God's Blessed One", a person blessed by God, and wanted to join the Holy See.
, so I can tell you everything I know, and I can tell you everything I know.
Cao Jinxing smiled and inquired about various information.
Raymond shook off everything he knew.
Such as the combat prowess of priests, bishops, archbishops and other rank representatives, and what kind of martial arts the knight captains of the knights use...
Raymond told the story to promote the reputation of the Knights, while Cao Jinxing listened to the enemy's information and gradually understood the strength of the Inquisition.
Qin Xuanji looked sympathetically at Raymond, who was talking more and more enthusiastically.
What a pity, Captain Raymond still doesn't know how evil that villain is.
What you said will eventually help him kill more people from the Knights...
It wasn't until he arrived at Precious Beast Island that Raymond stopped with unfinished content.
——It is rare to meet such a good listener as Cao Jinxing. He is obviously from a big country in China, but he is so interested in the Holy See.
Cao Jinxing smiled and said: "Don't worry, things on the island won't take long. Let's continue talking about it when we return."
Raymond also smiled: "Okay, there are very few people in the East China Sea who understand French and Latin. My Chinese is not very good. Many times... the words don't express what I mean, but Mr. Cao can understand me.
, I’m waiting for you sir on the boat!”
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Cao Jinxing and Qin Xuanji disembarked from the boat and walked onto the Beast Island. Duan Munan was already waiting with his confidants in front.
"Bad guy, Captain Raymond let you cheat miserably."
Qin Xuanji quietly transmitted the message and patted Cao Jinxing gently.
"How can this be a lie? He is the confider, and I am the listener. You see how competent I am as a listener, but he hasn't said enough yet."
"Pfft!"
Qin Xuanji couldn't help but laugh, leaning on Cao Jinxing and laughing so hard that her branches trembled.
Cao Jinxing was afraid that she would fall, so he put his arms around her waist.
"?!"
Duan Munan across from me looked at him with fire in his eyes, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: Bitch! Bitch!! Bitch!!!
"Second Miss."
Duan Munan lowered his head, hiding his murderous intention, and said respectfully: "Should we go to Holuo Fish Lake to cut the holuofu meat first, or should we collect the mature Wangyou fish and golden doll first..."
Qin Xuanji sneered in her heart and said expressionlessly: "What do you think?"
Duanmu Nan said: "He Luoyu's condition is even more serious. I just received the news and it's already in so much pain that I can't eat the fish food. It's better to cut off the attached meat first..."
Qin Xuanji and Cao Jinxing looked at each other.
Cao Jinxing stretched out his hand to hold down the two fire guns at his waist, and nodded imperceptibly.
Regulus narrowed his eyes and stayed close to Cao Jinxing, his half-foot-long claws appearing and disappearing.
Qin Xuanji nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to you and go to Heluoyu Lake first."
Duanmu Nan was delighted: "Yes."
Everyone walked towards the artificial lake in the center of the island.
There are birds flying in the dense forest on both sides.
Deep under the sea, the cow ghost slowly extended its tentacles...
These days I feel like I have to cough up my lung tube. Today I went to the doctor to prescribe medicine and I feel better after taking it. This chapter is too late.
