Qi Xuansu, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked out of the hall.
I saw a large ship breaking through the sea of clouds and descending slowly. Its bow looked like a dragon's head. The ship's body was covered with wisps of water vapor. Water droplets kept rolling down, and a hazy sound fell below the ship.
Light rain.
It was like a dragon carrying a pavilion flying from the depths of the sea to the sea of clouds. Wherever it passed, there was wind and rain.
This is the flying boat.
The flying boat landed in the lake outside the palace, setting off layers of blue waves and filled with water vapor. Finally, it floated on the lake like an ordinary boat.
Qi Xuansu only felt that it was an eye-opener.
No wonder the port is built on the top of a mountain.
After the airship came to a complete stop, a long wooden staircase was lowered from the ship. There were handrails on both sides, and the bottom was connected to a gap in the lake embankment, so that the suspended staircase would not sway at all.
Then a group of people came down the stairs. Most of them were impressive and had good status. They did not stay here and quickly dispersed. A seventh-grade Taoist priest finally walked down the stairs and said loudly: "Please show me the ultimatum and the
Jade cards, board the ship one by one."
The people who had been waiting for a long time in the back hall began to board the ship one by one. After the seventh-level Taoist priest inspected the ultimatum, he returned the ultimatum to those who boarded the ship, but left the jade token behind, and later returned it to the person in charge of selling tickets.
of female crown.
Qi Xuansu followed the crowd, checked the ultimatum, and boarded the flying boat.
In fact, this was not the first time Qi Xuansu went to the ancestral court, but last time he took the land route, which was very hard, and it was the first time he went to the ancestral court by flying boat.
Feizhou is a building style, divided into three floors, just like an inn. The first floor is an ordinary room, a single room, which is not simple, and has only one bedroom. The second floor is the upper room, which not only has a bedroom, but also is equipped with
A small study room is dedicated to Taoist priests of the fourth grade and above.
As for the third floor, it is where the cardinals who control the spaceship are located, and no casual person is allowed to enter it. The cabin below is where the formation where the spaceship can travel in the nine heavens is located, and entry is also prohibited.
The three-story pavilion is connected by stairs internally. After the flying boat takes off, all the doors of the three-story pavilion will be closed and no one can enter or exit. The flying boat will also activate its formation to withstand the fierce wind.
There is still one day left before the flying boat sets sail. At this time, the pavilion is not closed, and you can visit it freely on the deck.
Qi Xuansu walked around on the deck, looked at the scenery for a while, and then came inside the pavilion. A corridor ran through the entire first floor. On the left and right sides of the corridor were neatly arranged rooms. Qi Xuansu found his room, which contained only a bed and a table.
, you can meditate and fall asleep, or you can lie down and fall asleep. There are several Taoist classics on the table, including Taishang's Five Thousand Words, "Nanhua Sutra" by Nanhua Taojun, and several volumes of "Taiping Guangji".
For passengers to kill time.
Qi Xuansu plans to spend this time by meditating and practicing Qi.
The cultivation methods of each lineage are different. Qi practitioners practice qi, alchemists practice meditation, and martial arts practitioners strengthen their muscles and bones. As a hodgepodge, Sanren can also practice qi and meditate. As for strengthening their muscles and bones, such a bedroom,
But I can't stretch my legs and feet to practice boxing.
At this moment, a man with a slightly wretched appearance passed by Qi Xuansu's door, glanced at him, was startled for a moment, and then stopped.
Qi Xuansu, who was about to close the door, noticed this strange man, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "This fellow Taoist...is there something wrong?"
The wretched man smiled wretchedly and asked, "Does this fellow Taoist tell fortunes?"
Qi Xuansu subconsciously thought that the person in front of him was a liar, but then he thought about it, this was a flying boat going to the ancestral court. The people who could ride on the flying boat were all Taoist priests of high rank. What kind of liar would come here to cheat?
Qi Xuansu prevaricated and said perfunctorily: "I am shy in my lower pocket..."
The wretched man smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter, it's fate that you and I meet each other. I won't take any money from you today."
Qi Xuansu heard what this wretched man said, so he had no choice but to invite him into his room.
The wretched man took out something similar to a handkerchief from his sleeve, shook it open, turned it into the size of a chessboard, and spread it on Qi Xuansu's bed. There was a black and white Yin and Yang Pisces drawn on it, with the words "Iron mouth cut straight" written on the four corners.
"Four words.
Qi Xuansu remained calm and did not speak.
The wretched man looked Qi Xuansu up and down, and said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist, you are not simple."
"How do you say this?" Qi Xuansu pretended to be surprised.
The wretched man shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, faces come from the heart, and I happen to know a little bit about the art of face recognition."
Qi Xuansu asked: "I wonder where you learned Taoism?"
The wretched man stroked his sparse beard and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yu, how old is Chi? In his early years, he studied Taoism in the Wanshou Chongyang Palace. Later, he became a minor master in Taoism. Under the orders of his master, he went down the mountain to help the world and accumulated external skills. On the river.
By the way, I once met Master Donghua by chance. Master Donghua saw that I was predestined with him, so he taught me the 'Taiwei True Technique'. As long as I practice it persistently, I can see the will of heaven and the atmosphere of the earth."
Having said this, the wretched man's face showed regret, annoyance, helplessness, and sadness. He then said: "Unfortunately, Brother Yu is a little weak and cannot practice this method. Fortunately, Brother Yu is still a blessed man. When he traveled to Qizhou, he met him again.
Master Donghua, so I asked Master Donghua for advice on the 'Ziwei Dou Shu'. Fellow Taoist, are you sure?"
Donghua Zhenren was a strong man, ranked among the top among the thirty-six real people, and was extremely famous.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think of what he had casually said: "Master Donghua greets the commander", so he had to suppress his smile and said: "It turns out that Brother Taoist is a disciple of Master Donghua. It's disrespectful. I haven't asked Brother Taoist about Gao's name yet?"
The wretched man smiled slightly and tried his best to show off his popularity, pretending to be casual and wrote: "My surname is Pei, and I am Pei Xiaolou."
"Brother Pei Dao." Qi Xuansu handed over his hand again, "My surname is Qi, and my double name is Xuansu."
Pei Xiaolou gently twirled his beard, looked Qi Xuansu up and down, and said, "Brother Qi has a good face. The good thing is..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted Pei Xiaolou: "Pei Xiaolou, you idiot, are you hiding here to show your face to others?"
Before Qi Xuansu could react, he saw a big hand grabbing Pei Xiaolou's back collar and lifting him up.
A tall woman squeezed her way into the already crowded room and scolded Pei Xiaolou: "You don't even urinate and take a picture. You are born with a miserable life and poor appearance, so you can show it to others."
Mr. Xiang? I’m not afraid of misleading others! How could I be so blind that I fell in love with a guy like you? I’ve been with you for more than ten years and I haven’t had any luck at all. I’ve just suffered a lot!”
Qi Xuansu was momentarily intimidated by the aura of this tall woman and did not dare to make any move.
Although Pei Xiaolou is as tall as a bamboo pole, she can lift it with one hand, which shows that the strength of this strong woman is no longer comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, her opening made Qi Xuansu's ears buzz, like a Buddhist lion's roar.
of power.
Perhaps because he couldn't save face in front of outsiders, Pei Xiaolou frowned and said: "What's wrong with my face? Do I have a very peaceful face? If I don't endure hardship, how can I enjoy happiness? As the saying goes, only by enduring hardship can you be a human being.
Master, according to my calculations, if you have to endure hardship for another ten years, you will be lucky."
"Ten years? Bah!" The tall woman became furious and slapped Pei Xiaolou in the face.
But he never thought that Pei Xiaolou was extremely flexible. He shrank and slipped out, leaving only an empty robe in the woman's hand. Immediately after the golden cicada escaped from the shell, Pei Xiaolou ducked down again and passed directly from the woman's side.
Sneaked out.
The woman became more and more angry, and immediately turned around to chase him. The two of them gradually went away, leaving only Qi Xuansu and the piece of cloth that was "cut straight by the iron mouth".
Qi Xuansu calmed down and felt that his horizons had broadened too much in the past few days. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
It is true that Qi Xuansu has not seen much of the big world, but he is not a newbie and has rich experience. Naturally, he knows that Pei Xiaolou and the tall woman are not ordinary people. They are only strangers with unique skills.
Regardless of whether they are real people who don't show their faces, playing games in the world, or have innocent minds, or have other agendas, it is always best to stay away from them.
Pei Xiaolou and the tall woman were gone forever, which made Qi Xuansu feel a little more at ease, closed the door of the room, and began to meditate.
The day passed by in a hurry. When Qi Xuansu woke up from trance, the flying boat had already set sail. Qi Xuansu got up from the bed and looked out through the glass window. He saw only the vast sea of clouds and the golden light.
The windows are also blessed with special formations. Not only can they withstand the wind, passengers in the building cannot open the windows and can only watch the scenery through the windows.
Only those who have reached the stage of being a celestial being can ride on the wind, so this is the first time Qi Xuansu flies into the sky. Seeing the scene outside the window, it is inevitable that his heart will surge and he will not be able to regain his consciousness for a long time.
It wasn't until Qi Xuansu felt that he was a little hungry that he came back to his senses.
Only then did he remember that he only had breakfast at the Qingpinghui contact point on July 13th. Today was July 15th, and he had not eaten water or rice for two days. This was no wonder Qi Xuansu was negligent. It was really his fault.
I took a flying boat once and didn't know the rules here.
As for the flying boat, they will also provide some tea, wine and food, but these are only available on the second floor and are not available on the first floor. Most of the other experienced passengers brought their own dry food. Qi Xuansu did not prepare any, and he did not learn to "bigu".
Technique", you can only starve.
It takes a total of twelve hours from Huainan Mansion to Zuting, that is, one day and one night.
At first, Qi Xuansu was quite interested in the scenery outside the window, but as time went by, the seemingly endless white clouds became boring, so Qi Xuansu had to pass the time by meditating and practicing Qi.
At this moment, a Taoist with fluttering sleeves rode on the clouds and mist, passed over the flying boat, and headed straight towards the ancestral court.
