The Great Demon King of the Void revealed his true form, sneaked in the deep sea, stretched his body, and said: "Ye Sheng, I have been trapped in Tianchi for these years and have never had the opportunity to reveal my true form. This deep sea actually makes me feel like I was a child again."
The voice of the Great Demon King of the Void appeared in Ye Sheng's mind. This was the power of the contract. As long as they did not leave for thousands of miles, the Great Demon King of the Void and Ye Sheng could communicate with each other attentively.
Ye Sheng stood on the deck, looking at the deep blue sea. Occasionally, he could see Kunpeng-colored figures passing by.
The Great Demon King of the Void swims freely without worrying about being exposed. The bottom of the ocean cannot be explored. There are too many ferocious beasts hidden. Even if someone sees it, they will blame it on the sea monster. No one will think that it is a Kunpeng.
The merchant ship rode the wind and waves, overcoming thorns and thorns, and moved forward. The Great Demon King of the Void followed around. Sometimes it would let Ye Sheng go a day ahead, but it would catch up in ten minutes. Kunpeng's speed could not be exceeded.
A few days later, as we entered the deep sea, the people on the boat began to have nothing to do and chat among themselves.
Manatee was in charge of the people on the boat. He took a stroll when he had nothing to do. He was very attentive to Ye Sheng. It was probably because Ye Sheng was generous and he wanted to make friends with him.
Ye Sheng was also happy to talk to him and find out about the situation overseas.
On this day, Ye Sheng and Manatee were sitting on the deck, with food, wine and meat laid out, blowing the sea breeze, and a parasol above their heads, feeling relaxed and at ease.
Manatee and Ye Sheng have been chatting very well these days, and today he is the one inviting Ye Sheng to drink.
Ye Sheng did not refuse.
Manatee poured a glass of wine for Ye Sheng and said: "This is a specialty of Xianling Island. It is very delicious. It is brewed from the wine spirit in the deep sea. The taste is outstanding. People in Daqin spend thousands of gold to buy wine, but the output is poor."
not tall."
Ye Sheng was quite surprised. He invited himself to drink. He was willing to bring out such good wine. It seemed that Manatee was quite heroic.
"Take a bite." The manatee smiled and said proudly.
Ye Sheng tasted it and drank a glass of sake. He felt that the thousands of years of ice he drank was spreading all over his body from his throat to his stomach. It was as if he had stripped naked and entered the ice field. He was shocked by the cold, but then there were waves of warm sunshine.
It radiates from the limbs and bones.
"Good wine." Ye Sheng blurted out, it was really good wine.
The manatee said proudly: "I told you, this is good wine."
"Brother Manatee, don't you feel bad if you serve me such a fine wine?" Ye Sheng asked with a smile.
"What do you mean? Treat hospitality with good wine. This is how I, Manatee, behave. I have had a lot of fun chatting with you these days. I, Manatee, recognize you as a friend and treat you with good wine, isn't that okay?" Manatee
road.
Ye Sheng gave a thumbs up and said: "Honour, just your pride, you are my friend, my first friend after going to sea."
Manatee said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. Brother Ye, you have to know that people who go to sea must learn to have fun and comfort themselves, and learn to cherish any good thing they encounter."
"Why?" Ye Sheng asked curiously.
The manatee pointed around and said, "Do you think this vast sea is beautiful?"
Ye Sheng nodded and said: "The sea is vast, connected to the sky and the earth, with rolling blue waves, so beautiful."
"You look like a newbie at first glance." Manatee pointed at Ye Sheng and said, "People like us who make a living on the sea, when they see this sea, they just want to curse, damn it."
"Because of boredom?" Ye Sheng guessed.
"Yes, because we are tired. Do you know how long it takes for us to go to sea once?" Manatee asked Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng shook his head, he didn't know.
"Three months, coming from Fairy Island, one month, staying in Daqin for a month, selling and buying goods, and then going back for another month, going to sea four times a year, spending more than half of the year at sea.
"I'm tired of looking at this vast sea. If you don't learn to regulate yourself and be grateful for the little things in life, you will go crazy." Manatee told Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng nodded as he listened. People who spend a lot of time at sea really need to learn to regulate their own moods. Apparently Manatee regarded Ye Sheng as a mood regulator this time.
"Brother Manatee looks young, but he has quite a lot of experience at sea." Ye Sheng asked.
"No, I went to sea when I was fifteen years old, starting from a small fishing boat. It has been ten years, and many old masters have no experience like me." Manatee said proudly.
Ye Sheng was quite surprised, he didn't expect to meet a veteran.
"I can look at the weather to detect wind and rain, the dimensions to check the direction, and the sea view to identify dangers. I can do these." Manatee gave himself a thumbs up.
"Brother Manatee is so powerful, so instead of going to sea on his own, he becomes someone else's crew?" Ye Sheng asked curiously.
"This family is a wealthy family on Fairy Island. The young master wanted to go to sea and gain experience. Because he knew my name, he asked me to come and help. I was given a lot of money, so I agreed. After this trip, I will go back and buy a boat.
A small merchant ship, carrying goods by itself." Manatee told of his ambition.
Ye Sheng listened with interest. Manatee's experience was quite inspiring. He was poor since he was a child. He went to sea at the age of fifteen and worked in the sea for ten years. He gained a good reputation and became a veteran. Now he is planning the next step of buying a boat.
His experience was completely different from Ye Sheng's.
He is more about the efforts and struggles of small people and moving towards their goals.
His obsession with cultivation is not very deep. Because of his talent, he only wants to break through his innate nature and live for two hundred years.
Manatee is a very ordinary person. Among all living beings, he is very inconspicuous. If he hadn't told Ye Sheng himself, Ye Sheng would not have known about his experience.
But he is very real.
He lived a very simple life and wanted very simply. Such a simple person actually gave Ye Sheng a sense of enlightenment.
Life is better if it is simple.
Set a goal, do your best to achieve it, and then enjoy the goal or move on to the next goal.
Ye Sheng enjoyed the conversation with the manatees, and the stories of ordinary people were also inexplicably touching.
Manatee has suffered a lot. He said he was on the edge of life and death several times, but Ye didn't see his fear or fear at all. All he saw was gratitude for life and longing for the future.
Such a person made Ye Sheng's heart settle among practitioners.
No matter how you practice, you are still a human being, so it is better to be simple.
After chatting with Manatee for a long time, the wine was finished and the food was almost eaten. Ye Sheng thought that the party was about to end, but the drunk Manatee suddenly stood up in shock, staring at the sea with a pair of eyes, looking around with a nervous expression.
Not drunk at all.
"What's wrong?" Ye Sheng asked curiously.
"I feel it, there is danger coming, it's the sea monster." Manatee said seriously.
"You go back to the room quickly, and I will inform the captain that the sea monster is coming and must retreat, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated." The manatee ran away at once.
Ye Sheng stared at the depths of the sea and frowned, the sea monster was coming.
In his mind, the voice of the Great Demon King of the Void rang out: "Ye Sheng, there is a giant python coming from the deep sea. It has transformed into a dragon. Its target is your merchant ship."
