In the Pokukai, if there is any other force that can compete with the Begging Alliance, it can only be the monsters scattered all over the sea.
Yes, once the red moon appears at night, the entire sea area becomes a world of strange creatures and vicious beasts.
There is an old proverb circulating among the boat people who live a miserable life: beg for life during the day and ask for your life at night!
What this means is that you have to beg for your life during the day to make an alliance with the world, and you have to be killed by strange things at night!
Forced by desperation, these boat people could only cling to the city to resist, using countless large and small boats to choose a place to connect together, and finally formed a floating city, which was also the original origin of the boat market.
It's a pity that Master Bai's realm is only spiritual enlightenment after all, and he only has some understanding of the situation around the three-eye well. He has never even entered Xuanwu City, where the Begging Union Sect is located.
But according to Xu Luo's guess, with Xi Xi's master Qin Xuanji's identity, most of the time he could find out the information only in Xuanwu City.
When Xu Luo thought of Gu Xixi and the two girls, he wished he could fly to Xuanwu City, and a rare feeling of impatience arose in his heart.
There is even a vague violent impulse in my heart, and I want to destroy everything in front of me.
Fortunately, at this moment, the green bamboo shadow in the sea of consciousness seemed to notice something, and suddenly trembled a few times.
Xu Luo was shocked, and intuitively felt that something was wrong with his mentality at this time, and it seemed a bit like a mental disorder.
I don’t know if it’s because the qi and blood in the body are blocked, or because I don’t know how long it will take for the body to recover?
He vomited for a long time several times, barely suppressing all the chaotic thoughts, and subconsciously looked at the sea in the distance.
Even though the Netherworld Technique cannot be used at this time, Xu Luo can still be keenly aware of the cold and sinister aura rising from the sea in the distance from time to time.
In addition, the crimson moonlight in the sky is obviously more dazzling and rich than in the Jueling Realm. In this environment, even Xu Luo is deeply afraid of going to sea at night, but at this time, there are countless boat people wandering on the dangerous sea.
Xu Luo couldn't figure out why the Begging Alliance was so unwise and wasted its precious manpower in such a wasteful way?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling behind him, and Bai Xiaoya's timid figure appeared in Xu Luo's mind, and he subconsciously turned around and chuckled.
"Why aren't you going to rest so late?"
Bai Xiaoya's thin figure walked out of the shadows with bare feet.
She looked at Xu Luo's pretty face, but a hint of flinching flashed through her clear pupils, and after a while she nervously gestured in sign language.
"Brother Xu, you should be a practitioner, right?"
Although her tone was full of questioning, her expression and movements clearly indicated that she had already confirmed it. The smile on Xu Luo's face did not change at all, and he just looked at her steadily without answering.
It wasn't until Bai Xiaoya's face showed a hint of shyness that he suppressed his vigilance and nodded in agreement, then asked doubtfully.
"Where did you see it?"
"smell!"
"smell?"
To be honest, this answer was a bit beyond Xu Luo's expectations. Bai Xiaoya stretched out her hand to make a few more gestures.
"You smell exactly like those adults on Baisha Island!"
Xu Luo looked at this smart girl lovingly and understood that what she was talking about should be the qi machine generated by the nourishment of spiritual energy.
But even so, for Bai Xiaoya, a ten-year-old child, to be able to detect it keenly is an amazing thing.
I have to say that God is still fair sometimes. When he deprives you of something, he will definitely give you other compensation.
Xu Luo waved to her.
Bai Xiaoya hesitated for a moment and then walked to sit next to him, but she playfully stretched her feet out of the platform, letting the gushing waves wash over her toes from time to time.
At this time, a smile from the bottom of her heart suddenly appeared on her face, as pure and clear as the snow lotus blooming on the iceberg.
This smile seemed to have a strange contagiousness, and even Xu Luo couldn't help but laugh along with it.
He suddenly understood, what was this little girl worried about deep down in her heart?
"Do you want to become a spiritual practitioner and cure your illness as soon as possible?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then nodded first, and then shook his head.
Xu Luo frowned and said hesitantly.
"You don't want grandpa to worry about you anymore?"
Bai Xiaoya's body trembled, and the expression on her face suddenly turned gloomy. She stared blankly at the red-lit sea in front of her without moving, obviously being told something that was on her mind.
Xu Luo sighed secretly in his heart. If he recovered from his injuries, it would be a piece of cake to bring the little girl into the country to practice.
But now he himself is in trouble, and he can't even use his spiritual energy. How can he open spiritual energy for others?
Seeing that Xu Luo remained silent but had a very stern face, Bai Xiaoya, who was stunned for a moment, timidly turned to look at him, and then quickly turned away as if she was afraid that Xu Luo would see him.
She quickly got up from the ground, bowed to Xu Luo and saluted, then ran back to the bamboo building.
Xu Luo subconsciously wanted to stop her, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't spit out even a single word.
Looking at the bright red moon hanging high in the sky, Xu Luo felt a little irritated for no reason, and simply went back to his room.
The next morning, Xu Luo did not get up early for the first time.
It wasn't until Master Bai's melodious recital came from downstairs that he slowly walked to the back window of the hall again.
But unexpectedly, he saw Bai Xiaoya, with a serious face, kneeling and sitting in the empty seat in the last row.
She was the only one in the whole school who was listening to Master Bai's lecture seriously, but unfortunately she couldn't utter a single complete word.
Xu Luo watched this scene quietly, the expression in his eyes changed and he didn't know what he was thinking...
In the afternoon, Master Bai still took Xu Luo out to sea in a small boat to catch snow fish. After all, every time a practitioner was asked to diagnose Bai Xiaoya, a lot of spiritual dew was consumed.
But something was obviously wrong with Xu Luo today. Master Bai saw it and was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask anything.
Perhaps all the good luck in the past few days had been exhausted. Today, until it was almost dark, neither of them caught a single snowfish.
"Hey, after Xiao Luo has laid this last net, let's go back first!"
Master Bai looked at the sky, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Xu Luo's hand that was pulling the net paused, as if suddenly awakened, he stopped all movements, turned around and asked.
"I have a question in my mind that I can't figure out. I hope Master can answer it!"
Master Bai's face looked a little surprised, and he stretched out his hand to signal Xu Luo to speak frankly.
"Why can't Xiaoya speak, but Master still teaches her how to read and write every day?"
Master Bai looked blank for a moment, then frowned and thought for a moment before speaking.
"If you don't tell me, I really haven't thought about this problem. It should be just a habit, right?"
As he spoke, his words became hesitant.
"This child has not had a mother since she was a child, but she is extremely sensible and filial. I just want to make her like other children."
Xu Luo nodded understandingly, without saying anything else he just pulled the fishing net up from the sea with force.
There was still no snowfish in the net, so Bai Fuzi picked two fat fish with tender meat and few spines, ready to go back for dinner, and then motioned to Xu Luo to put the rest back into the sea.
But Xu Luo seemed not to notice, just staring at the fish and shrimp struggling desperately in the net.
"You said that if we don't let them go, what's the point of struggling these fish and shrimps?"
Mr. Bai, who was putting the fish into the bamboo basket, subconsciously answered as if his brain was going crazy for some reason.
"There is so much suffering in this world, and no one can control it at all! Alas..."
He suddenly let out a long sigh and hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"It's like Xiaoya can't speak, but can she live her whole life in such a muddle?
I have no other extravagant hopes. I just hope that when the child gets old and leaves, he can honestly say that I have been here, or... I will never come again!"
Master Bai turned his head and looked at Xu Luo for a long time, as if he wanted to see into his heart.
"We people may never see the light in our lives, but don't we run towards the light?"
Xu Luo's body trembled slightly, the light in his eyes became more and more piercing, and his mind, which had been a little anxious and depressed for a while, suddenly lightened up.
"Master, you are indeed worthy of teaching and educating people all your life. Xu Luo would like to be taught this time!"
He saluted so solemnly and politely, but Master Bai looked a little embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands and laughed.
"You kid, please stop making fun of the old man. For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life..."
When he said this, he didn't know what he thought of, his voice suddenly became inaudible, and a sad look appeared in his eyes.
Xu Luo knew that it would definitely bring back past memories that he didn't want to mention, and he couldn't help but secretly curse himself for making trouble out of nothing.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the bamboo building ahead appeared in their sight.
Master Bai looked at the thin figure jumping happily on the tide-watching platform, and his happy smile returned to his face.
Before the boat could reach the bamboo house, Bai Xiaoya had already excitedly jumped onto the boat and took Master Bai's arm with ease.
As if he guessed what she wanted to say, Master Bai picked up the fish basket and patted it.
"I caught two of your favorite scaleless fish today. The fish soup will be the most delicious when I make it!"
Bai Xiaoya smiled so hard that her eyes turned into two crescents. Seeing her so happy, Xu Luo deliberately joked.
"It's a pity that we didn't catch any snow fish today, so we couldn't exchange it for spiritual dew."
Bai Xiaoya subconsciously made gestures with her fingers.
"It's okay. Compared to before, we have saved a lot more spiritual dew during this period."
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and touched her little head.
"Xiaoya is very good! She will be rewarded with good things in the future."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Bai Xiaoya's response, and took the initiative to carry the fishing nets and debris into the bamboo house. Bai Xiaoya's clear eyes stared at his tall back, but she no longer had the shrinking look of the previous few days.
As the days passed, Xu Luo's internal injuries recovered faster and faster, and even the coagulated Qi and blood loosened a little.
But he no longer felt anxious at all, and instead lived more and more like an ordinary boatman.
Her fair skin has taken on a bronze color, her brows and eyes have lost the sparkle of the past, and her net-free movements have become more sophisticated.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the two of them gained quite a lot every time they went to sea, and Master Bai's face became more and more smiling.
During this period of time, Xu Luo gradually fell in love with the tide viewing platform on the second floor. Later, he didn't even bother to go back to his room. He sat cross-legged and watched the sea all night. I don't know what he was thinking about?
Especially in the early morning hours, Xu Luo always feels that his mind becomes clearer and clearer.
He is most looking forward to the scene when the morning sun leaps out of the sky, which always gives people a sense of high-spirited and vigorous vitality.
When the first ray of morning sun reflected on Xu Luo's face, his half-closed eyes opened instantly, showing an ecstatic expression.
At this moment, the energy and blood in Xu Luo's body, which had been imprisoned and motionless, began to jump slightly.
This is like an introduction, the rhythm spreads rapidly along the meridians, and it travels around Xu Luo's body in every breath.
At this time, Xu Luo seemed to be in a daze of joy, just staring at the bright and beautiful blue sky in the distance.
The morning sun crept out of the sky little by little, and the strange thing was that every time it moved, the blood and energy in Xu Luo's body trembled more and more violently.
Until the red morning sun suddenly jumped up, the light was not particularly strong, but it instantly overshadowed the bright morning glow on the horizon.
Boom, surging energy and blood swarmed out of Xu Luo's body acupoints almost at the same time, forming a bloody red mist around his body.
The true form of a looming ferocious ape roared like thunder in the blood mist, but its body was only a few feet tall.
At the same time, Xu Luo's extremely familiar violent and unwilling consciousness instantly filled his mind. He subconsciously wanted to scream, but the sound scattered before it could fill the air.
Xu Luo looked back at the bamboo building behind him to make sure there was no movement, then turned his head again, with a silent smile on his lips.
Sure enough, I guessed it right. This confinement was caused by my own mental blockage. In addition, my body also needed to adapt to the presence of rich spiritual energy in the outside world, which resulted in the previous weird state of my body.
After a while, the qi and blood in the body slowly calmed down, and Xu Luo felt that about 30% of the qi and blood had returned to normal.
This also means that he can now use many of his magical powers, and he can finally let go of the worries he has been carrying for so many days.
The morning sun was equally dazzling today, but the relaxed look on Xu Luo's face suddenly turned into confusion.
Although his spiritual consciousness had not fully recovered, his keen intuition in the Ningsha Realm still detected that a small boat was heading straight towards the Bamboo Tower.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of Baisha Island. The dark ring on his finger had disappeared without a trace, and the expression in his eyes gradually became indifferent and calm.
As the boat got closer, Xu Luo saw clearly the figure standing on the bow of the boat, and couldn't help but show a strange expression.
This middle-aged man's face is 70% similar to Master Bai's.
In addition, Xu Luo also discovered something more interesting. The person's cultivation was already in the body-washing realm. Such a realm was not considered mediocre even in Xuanwu City.
Such a person would actually appear in this remote bamboo house in the early morning. It seems that there is a story in it!
Xu Luo had no intention of covering up his figure, and the visitor's eyes soon fell on his figure.
The boat sank violently, and a middle-aged man had appeared on the tide-watching platform, looking at Xu Luo with an obviously rude look.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Xu Luo didn't answer immediately, and looked him up and down before landing directly on the blue hair on his head.
There were two weird protrusions there, which gave Xu Luo an extremely bad feeling, as if he had encountered something extremely disgusting.
Seeing Xu Luo staring directly at the top of his head, the visitor subconsciously snorted coldly, and a sharp energy landed on Xu Luo hard.
But a scene that horrified him appeared. Xu Luo was still staring at the top of his head with a vigilant face, as if he didn't notice the Qi movement at all.
