"Ceratopsian" broke through the storm, destroyed a group of ghost ships, and continued sailing on the sea.
After the storm, it's sunny again.
After more than ten days of drifting, Qi Xuansu and others have gradually narrowed down the scope of their search, and can roughly determine the range where the Yin Moon appears.
Then it became a matter of lying in bed during the day and coming out at night, resting during the day, waiting for night to fall, and walking toward the moon. .??.
Waiting is always long, and boredom will further make this long.
When you first go out to sea, there is still a lot of freshness, but as time goes by, the endless and same sea water will wipe out all the passion, leaving only endless boredom.
Qi Xuansu usually reads in his room, Hu En'ahan and Utu are doing their own things, and "Chorned Dragon" becomes very silent.
Utu prays to Ixichel every day and talks to the goddess. Ixichel can probably hear it, but he doesn’t know if he will respond. According to Qi Xuansu’s knowledge, the gods can set up a clone to specifically handle such believers’ wishes.
Make automatic replies and say some programmed words set in advance.
Hu En Ahan has the habit of writing a diary. When productivity was underdeveloped in the past, firstly, there were few people who could read and write, and secondly, paper was scarce. Only a very few people could write "notes", and there were very few diaries, and more were
Travel notes.
It is not until now that productivity has greatly developed that this habit has become widespread.
Hu En Ahan's diary is said to be a diary, but in fact it is not complete. If he had nothing to do today, he would not write at all. Therefore, during the period when he made a mistake and was forced to stay in seclusion, he did not write a word.
He immediately stopped updating the diary. Thanks to Qi Zhenren's guidance, after his comeback, the frequency of updates suddenly increased. No matter how busy he was, he would still write a few entries. Even if he didn't have time today, he would make up for it when he had time.
However, Qi Xuansu was very doubtful, who would write down what is in his heart on paper? Is what is written on paper still what is in his heart? Who keeps a diary among serious people? Qi Xuansu doesn't write it anyway.
However, you can consider letting Xiao Yin write some. Taking a peek at your child's diary is one of the great joys of being a parent.
No, you have to read it openly, and you have to hold the diary up high, because Xiao Yin is short and can't reach it.
Don't worry about whether it's right or not, just ask if it makes sense. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. As a senior member of a Taoist sect, you have to say one thing and do another. If you are consistent in what you say and what you know and do, then you are not a high-level member of the Taoist sect for nothing.
?
Just as Qi Xuansu was completely immersed in the book, the sun was setting outside. The sky and sea turned orange-red. The setting sun was slowly sinking into the sea, and the clouds and sea water seemed to be on fire.
Lao Pang knocked on the door again and said in an excited tone, "Master, here we come! Here we come!"
Qi Xuansu put down the book in his hand, stood up and opened the door, "What's coming?"
>
"The Immortal Man is here." Old Pang finally calmed down a little.
Qi Xuansu became interested, "Immortal people? Overseas survivors of Taoism?"
"Exactly!" Lao Pang said, "I just don't know if it's a friend or an enemy yet. Please let me know."
Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and said, "Inform Chief Yang Gang to be on level 2 alert. Let's check the situation first."
"Yes." Lao Pang took the order and left.
Qi Xuansu came to the deck outside. At this time, Utu and Hu En'ahan also got the news, and each came out of the cabin and gathered next to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu looked around and saw a whirlpool appearing on the sea in the distance. One after another, the snail boats were slowly rising from the bottom of the sea. Some had already floated to the surface, and some were still rising. From this, a large number of snail boats emerged.
bubble.
Qi Xuansu was a little surprised: "Is this the legendary 'Lunbo Boat'?"
It is said that when the ancestral dragon approached Jieshi in the east, some people from Wanqu arrived in a snail boat. The boat was shaped like a snail and sank to the bottom of the sea without being soaked by water. It was called "Lunbo boat".
Hu En'ahan was also very surprised, "There is actually a 'Lunbo boat' in the world."
These snail boats, or Lunbo boats, did not move at all after rising to the sea surface.
Probably because the "Chorned Dragon" was too majestic, the strange "Lunbo Zhou" failed to take the lead, and instead seemed to be suppressed by the "Chorned Dragon".
There is even a bit of inequality, because the deck of the "Ceratopsian" is too high, and standing on it is naturally a condescending look down.
Wutu took a step forward and said loudly, "Who is coming?"
A strange man rose from the largest "Lunbo Boat".
It's not drilling out, it's rising out.
A beam of light shot out from the top of the "Lunbo Boat", and the weirdo was lifted out of the "Lunbo Boat" by the beam of light.
It's strange because this person actually has some kind of fish characteristics. You can see scales on his exposed skin, and his breath is also strange. It doesn't look like a living person, but more like a monster. To put it in more straightforward terms
That said, he has a demonic spirit.
But it's still in human form, not the transformation of a demon into a human after it has achieved cultivation, that's what its true form is.
From this point of view, these immortals are already half demon and half human.
However, Utu was not afraid at all. Under the erosion of the divine power of death, he was even less human-like. Everyone just said, "Tell me your name, origin, and what happened."
Talking condescendingly
His arrogance is undisguised, but in a sense, Utu does have this qualification.
The immortal asked, "Who are you?"
The accent of the Immortals is a bit strange. It's not like today's Mandarin. It should be the Mandarin they used at that time. After several changes, it finally turned into the weird accent now, but it can still be heard. After all, the accent here in the Southern Continent is
He is also full of strange people, and he can speak in orthodox Imperial Mandarin, which makes people look up to him.
Wutu sneered, "If you didn't know our details, would you come to us? Don't pretend to be stupid. But since you asked, I might as well say it again, our real person is the Taoist sect's plenipotentiary envoy, the chief of Beichen Hall, Qi Zhenren
, if you have anything to do, just say it, and the real person will make the decision for you."
Don't look at Utu being judged as hopeless by Hu En Ahan. As Ixichel's right-hand man, he is by no means a mediocre person, nor does he make the goddess look at him differently just because of his admiration for the goddess. He has
He was able to see at a glance the purpose of these immortals, who wanted something from his side, so he put on airs and spoke of these immortals as if they were ordinary people, and Qi Xuansu as if they were parents and officials.
This is to show off one's power first, and then negotiate the price.
The immortal man was silent for a moment and said, "My surname is Sun, my name is Sun Jiatu, and my ancestor's name is Shang Ling Xia Xiu."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xuansu thought to himself, "He is indeed a descendant of Sun Lingxiu, and he is indeed an immortal person."
After Sun Jiatu reported his family status, he went on to say, "I am here to ask Master Qi to help us, the Immortals, out of consideration for the fact that we are from the same family."
Qi Xuansu stepped forward and leaned on the railing to look at the Sun family picture below. "The Immortal Man came from the Five Pecks of Rice Tao, which is also the Tianshi Tao. Patriarch Lu Xiujing reformed the Tianshi Tao and divided it into north and south. It was all later. As for the unification of Taoism, it was even later.
It happened later, did you know?"
Sun Jiatu replied, "Yes, we will also recruit some new members, most of whom are seafarers who fell into the water. From this, we know about the changes in the land. I know that Xuansheng unified the Taoist sect to replace the Confucian sect and became the common master of the world. I also know that the four generations of great leaders
, the great masters of the Five Dynasties opened up Southeast Asia."
Qi Xuansu nodded, "It is now the turn of the Sixth Generation Grandmaster and the Seventh Generation Grandmaster. It has been decades since the Fourth Generation Grandmaster and the Fifth Generation Grandmaster passed away. Today, the Tao Sect's territory is more than ten thousand miles away. Disciples
More than ten million? You are a remnant of the Taoist sect, and I am a disciple of the Taoist sect. If you really have difficulties, out of the kindness of the supreme Taoist ancestor, I will help you to maintain the friendship of the same sect."
Sun Jiatu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu raised his hand, "Don't thank me quickly. Since we are from the same sect, we naturally have to help each other, don't you think so?"
"
Qi Xuansu deliberately emphasized the word "each other" and looked at the Sun family picture below.
Although Sun Jiatu is an overseas survivor, as the leader of the Immortals, he is still very discerning. He immediately heard the implication of Qi Xuansu's words: "If Master Qi encounters any difficulties, we should do our best."
Qi Xuansu said, "Very good, do you know Lanyun Sect?"
Sun Jiatu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I know, this place is not far from Lanyun Sect."
Qi Xuansu looked at him, "Many of the Lanyun Sect's insect people have done illegal things. I went to sea this time to destroy the insect people. The army will arrive shortly. As a disciple of the Taoist sect, are you willing to lead the way?"
Sun Jiatu said, "Dare you disobey me? I just asked the real person to give you a clear warning, but I am powerless at this time..."
Qi Xuansu knew that these immortals would not let go of the hawk before they saw the rabbit, so he waved his hand, "Okay, come up and talk about your difficulties."
"Yes." Sun Jiatu responded, left the "Lunbo Boat" and flew towards the deck of the "Chorned Dragon".
Hu En'ahan whispered, "Real person, it's better to be careful. These people may also be the bait and trap of that female gentleman."
The female gentleman is talking about Zhou Mengyao, because she, like Qiniang, is not a high-ranking Taoist priest, nor does she have a position, and it is difficult to call her by her first name, so she cannot be called Master Zhou, who is a dignified immortal, so she is used conveniently.
A title for a female gentleman.
Mr. is a relatively neutral title, which means elder, venerable, and teacher. Anyone who has the ability can be called "Sir" respectfully. It has nothing to do with gender or origin.
However, with the rise of Western learning later, I don’t know how it was translated. The Westerners’ honorific title for men was translated into sir. This misinterpreted the original meaning of sir and made many female Taoists unhappy. They always shouted that they should not be addressed as “sir”.
Women, this is a huge insult to women. This is an old disease and reflects the superiority of men and the inferiority of women.
In fact, in the classical context, most men are not qualified to be called "sir". It is not just any man who is a sir. This is a title for achievement, not a title for status. Nowadays, Western learning actually refers to "sir"
"Mr." has been downgraded and vulgarized.
So I really wronged "Sir". It can only be said to be the fault of Western learning and the fault of translation.
In any case, considering Zhou Mengyao's status and achievements, it would not be wrong to call her Mr. Zhou.
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what was going on.
Hu En'ahan said no more.
Qi Xuansu invited the person to his room and "let's talk here."
