Although the storm was not going to stop for the time being, the man was no longer afraid and stood cautiously behind the young man. Thinking about what he had said before, he actually regretted it very much.
Looking at the deck, if there was a gap here, he could not wait to get in directly from here.
In the cabin in the distance, the woman was holding a steaming bowl of fish soup and was in a dilemma. Qing'er beside her seemed a little lost.
Chen Chao looked at the storm just a stone's throw away from him and said, "Don't be afraid. It's my duty to protect you."
Chen Chao turned his head, looked at the ashamed man, and said with a smile: "That's me. If I were really that kind of literati with a bad brain, brother, you would have saved others."
The man rubbed his head in embarrassment and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be more of an immortal than an immortal."
Before Chen Chao had time to speak, Qing'er had already walked over with the fish soup in his arms and handed it to Chen Chao in front of him. Chen Chao belatedly reached out and took a sip, but in the end he praised it.
Qing'er left without saying a word, but her cheeks seemed a little flushed?
The man sighed silently. As someone who has experienced this, he knew very well that his daughter would be worried about the young man in front of her for who knows how long.
But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. Who would look at this man in front of him and be indifferent to his unpredictable methods?
I'm afraid there isn't.
Chen Chao asked: "Is there a high chance of encountering that giant fish?"
For fishermen, encountering those giant fish just once is almost equivalent to a trip to the gate of hell. But for those monks who have achieved success in spiritual practice, those giant fish are not necessarily so scary.
If fishermen go out to sea and encounter those giant fish at every turn, and those giant fish also attack fishermen, then Chen Chao will probably organize monks to go out to sea to encircle and suppress those giant fish.
In the past years, it was ordinary people who supported the monks in this world, but now, things have actually changed quietly.
The monks have to do something for their weaker compatriots.
The man shook his head, "It's very difficult. We don't encounter it even once every ten or eight years. Compared with the storms and waves on the sea, the Sea Dragon King is nothing."
The chance of encountering wind and waves when going to sea is much higher than the chance of encountering the Sea Dragon King.
Chen Chao hummed, glanced at the rough waves in the distance, and asked, "Are you still fishing today?"
The man smiled bitterly and said: "If it weren't for you, everyone would have died here today, why would we be fishing?"
Chen Chao smiled and said: "It's a small effort, not worth mentioning, but I really have to go."
The man was startled when he heard this and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it out and could only look at Chen Chao like this.
"Don't worry, you won't die even if I leave."
Chen Chao jumped onto the previous boat, and the hemp rope was disconnected. The boat headed towards the waves, but it was not overturned by the waves. Instead, it opened a path forcibly, allowing the waves to roar on both sides of the boat.
.
Standing on the boat, Chen Chao looked at the fishing boat over there. The fishing boat was still out of the wind and rain.
"I drank a bowl of fish soup for you and gave you some gifts."
Chen Chao spoke calmly on the boat, and then big fish suddenly hit the surface of the sea and fell towards the fishing boat one after another.
In the eyes of the man, this scene was truly a unique spectacle.
Soon, a fishing boat was filled with fish.
There is almost nowhere to go.
The man burst into tears of gratitude.
Chen Chao just waved his sleeves.
A majestic air jet rose from the sea, like a tide, and shot towards the fishing boat. In just a moment, the fishing boat swept forward. It seemed that it would not be long before it would reach the shore directly.
Chen Chao stood on the boat, waved slightly, then turned around and walked into the wind and rain.
…
…
This sudden huge storm on the sea actually caused many fishing boats to suffer, especially those fishing boats that were closer to the fog.
Those on the periphery were lucky and survived.
Chen Chao kept moving forward in the wind and rain. When he encountered a capsized fishing boat, if there were any survivors, he sent them away. After a lot of trouble, the number of people was around dozens.
Only dozens of people were rescued, but I don’t know how many were left unsaved.
Chen Chao felt a little heavy.
Only as we got further and further away from the coast did this feeling ease slightly.
At this moment, the wind and rain suddenly dissipated, and the rough waves on the sea disappeared, leaving only calmness.
The sea breeze blew through Chen Chao's clothes, making a slight rustling sound.
But Chen Chao hadn't seen the so-called white mist yet.
In those legends, if you want to enter the Immortal Sea, you have to cross the white mist. However, in the past many years, only one monk who has not set foot in the Fuyun realm has successfully passed through the white mist.
That person is called Wu Hao.
But now that Chen Chao has crossed that realm, he is not worried about such things.
Suddenly there were some ripples on the sea surface in the distance, and a giant fish slowly appeared.
It is so big that the fins on both sides are almost as big as an ordinary large ship. At a glance, the whole body is probably over a hundred feet tall.
Chen Chao frowned slightly.
Although he didn't read much, he still remembered that there was a widely circulated Taoist article in the world, which recorded that there was a big fish called Kun in the North Sea.
Among them, Taozu said that he didn't know how many thousands of miles it was.
However, no one knows where the so-called North Sea is now, and no one has ever actually seen such a big fish.
What's more, the Taoist ancestor later said that the giant fish would turn into a roc.
Although the giant fish in front of him was much larger than the one he had seen on the fishing boat before, it was not the same size as the legendary giant fish.
However, Chen Chao quickly squinted his eyes, because when the giant fish approached, he saw a middle-aged Taoist standing on the back of the fish.
The Taoist was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with some beard, a lotus crown on his head, and a whisk in his hand.
At first glance, there is really no difference between this person and the so-called immortal.
Chen Chao stood in the boat and watched the giant fish slowly come to his side and then hover until he was not far away from the middle-aged Taoist man. The distance between the two of them was only a few feet.
The middle-aged Taoist looked at Chen Chao in front of him, and Chen Chao was also looking at him.
The two looked at each other, but neither of them was in a hurry to speak.
After a while, the Taoist in gray robe slowly spoke, "Your mortal bond is still intact. I would like to advise you not to go any further."
After hearing this, Chen Chao smiled and said, "How does the Taoist master know that my mortal bond is still intact?"
The gray-robed Taoist said: "You have reached a state of cultivation like yours, but you still can't let go of the life and death of ordinary people. You spend so much time and energy to do this. How can you say that you are wholeheartedly pursuing the great road?"
Chen Chao frowned slightly and asked, "Is it possible that practicing cultivation means cutting off love and sex?"
The gray-robed Taoist said calmly: "I've already talked about the sea of suffering. If you can't let go, the road to the other side will be extremely difficult. Don't you know?"
Chen Chao shook his head and said with a smile: "This junior has been practicing too much in his life, but he has still reached this stage."
The gray-robed Taoist was indifferent, "Although you may be able to reach the end of Wangyou due to chance, you can't cross the next step, even if you are so young."
Speaking of his youth, the gray-robed Taoist's eyes flashed with appreciation. It was rare for someone as young as Chen Chao to reach this level, even over there.
It's just that this is a good thing and a bad thing. If you have too little experience, you will not know the truth of the great truth. If you cannot enlighten yourself later, you will inevitably waste time in the same place.
Chen Chao asked: "Taoist Priest, I can't cross the Immortal Sea. Is it the Taoist Priest's decision?"
The gray-robed Taoist glanced at Chen Chao and said indifferently: "If you persist, Pindao will not block your way, but you must know that Pindao represents a truly good place. If Pindao
If I don’t look down on you and don’t lead you there, you will only die under the white mist.”
Chen Chao smiled and said: "It's not something that Taoist priest has to worry about. I heard that there seems to be someone who has crossed the white mist in this realm, right?"
After hearing this, the gray-robed Taoist was silent for a moment, frowned and said, "That's not the same thing."
He naturally knew about Wu Wei, and he also knew the ins and outs of the matter. At that time, after Wu Wei passed through the white mist, he should have gone to the Immortal Island to find a sect to practice, but he always stayed on the periphery. Although he still broke through in the end
, leaving again does not actually break the rules.
But when he passed through the white mist, it was actually very difficult given his condition. If someone hadn't secretly helped him, it would have been impossible.
But since that matter was against the rules, no one would point it out.
While the gray-robed Taoist was deep in thought, Chen Chao was actually getting information based on these words of the gray-robed Taoist. The Taoist in front of him looked more like someone from some sect who had come down to recruit disciples. He looked very talented and suitable.
Those who cross the sea are accepted into the sect and can also be brought into the white mist. Doesn't this reduce a lot of risks?
However, in the eyes of the gray-robed Taoist in front of him, he is the kind of person who is not suitable.
Chen Chao didn't care about this either.
"Since you are so stubborn, just do it yourself."
The gray-robed Taoist said a word and urged the giant fish under him to turn around and leave.
"Taoist Priest, the storm just now was caused by Taoist Priest, right?"
Chen Chao suddenly spoke.
"That's right, I'm just trying you. Unfortunately, your connection with the mortal world is still intact and you are full of worldly ambitions."
The gray-robed Taoist shook his head, still a little regretful.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing Chen Chao's voice behind him, the gray-robed Taoist originally thought that he was going to ask for help again, but he didn't expect that Chen Chao said: "In this case, Taoist Master, don't leave."
"how?"
The gray-robed Taoist became a little angry.
Chen Chao calmly said: "Seeking justice for the dead fishermen."
"It's a joke. These ordinary people will die as soon as they die. What's the point of justice?"
The gray-robed Taoist laughed angrily.
Chen Chao looked at the gray-robed Taoist in front of him and rolled up his sleeves, "You really deserve to die if you keep saying such things."
