The merchants from the Tang Dynasty have completed their purchases from Junzi Kingdom and are returning to the building ships one after another.
The Kingdom of Gentleman is the last stop of this voyage, and most of the merchants have returned with full loads, looking forward to returning to China as soon as possible to sell these rare and rare overseas goods at a good price.
It was night, and the lights on the building and boat were brightly lit.
Some of the merchants presented barbecues, some brought out fine wines from their collections, or ordered their concubines, Mei Ji, to dance and cheer for the guests. They drank wine and laughed happily on the deck of the ship.
The center of this sea banquet was still Tang Ao and his family.
Everyone had figured out Tang Ao's temperament, and knew that although he possessed miraculous powers and was a fairy in the world, he was not ostentatious and treated others gently, just like a mortal.
So they all followed suit, putting aside their previous restraints and choosing some allusions from literati and interesting stories about the government and the public, which really interested Tang Ao.
In addition, the merchants also discussed overseas trade with Lin Yuanyang, and sent their female relatives to talk to the Tang family and Lin family about their family's personal problems, secretly pleasing the two ladies.
As for Tang Ao and his party, the most special one - the ugly monk who narrowly escaped from a shipwreck a few months ago, has been neglected.
Although Tang Ao was very polite to the monks, Tang's disgust towards him was secretly noticed by everyone.
All the merchants had already concluded in private that Mr. Tang must have a kind heart and sympathize with the ugly monk's misfortune, so he reluctantly took him in.
But the ugly monk really didn't know what to do, so he stayed under someone else's roof, but he still wandered around all day long, which made Mr. Tang angry and scolded him. Fortunately, Mr. Tang had a lot of immortals and didn't care about him.
In a cabin high above the building, Yuan Tengfei looked through the window lattice at the happy crowd on the deck, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Then he turned to the white-haired immortal and Manager Wang in the cabin, bowed and bowed, and said with a low smile: "Poor those ignorant businessmen, they really think Tang Ao has great powers. But they don't know that every time he repels the nine heads
The Demon King was deliberately staged by the Nine-Headed Demon King ordered by the Immortal Chief."
Bai Xianlang said: "Having said that, Tang Ao is also a strange person. Every time he fights against the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, not only his injuries are repaired quickly, but his cultivation level also improves by leaps and bounds. It's as if..."
"...It's like divine help." Mr. Wang said.
The two of them looked at each other and could see the puzzled look in each other's eyes.
Yuan Tengfei laughed dryly and said softly: "There is no god, but there is a scoundrel and ugly monk..."
Bai Xianlang glanced at Yuan Tengfei lightly.
Yuan Tengfei felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his head rumbling.
Over the past few days, he has received guidance from Bai Xianlang and secretly taught me secrets. His skills have improved rapidly, and he is only one step away from the realm of soul-watching, which makes him more and more satisfied.
At this moment, he suddenly woke up. In the eyes of Bai Xianlang, he was nothing more than an ant. One look could determine life or death. He was obedient at the moment and did not dare to speak nonsense again.
Suddenly, a burst of clear and melodious fairy music came from far away across the sea.
The eyes of Bai Xianlang and Manager Wang lit up at the same time.
"coming……"
On the deck of the high-rise ship, Zhou Yi was faintly isolated by the merchants. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth, who was leaning on the side to drink alone.
Long before Bai Xianlang and Manager Wang heard about Xianle, he had already seen the bird surrounded by aura that appeared out of thin air in the south of the coastline of Junzi Kingdom.
The bird was obviously transported from somewhere using magic.
There are people and monsters on the boat, many of them are familiar old faces.
"Oh? They actually got mixed up together."
Zhou Yi smiled.
At this moment, an invisible and colorless magic power, like a thin thread, suddenly emerged and wrapped around the bird silently.
It didn't come from Bai Xianlang or Manager Wang, but from someone hidden outside the two ships.
The Taoist charm contained in the magic power is very profound and mysterious.
This person's cultivation level is as high as that of an Earth Immortal.
"Sure enough, when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. Bai Xianlang and Manager Wang are just bait... Let's see what this person wants to do."
Zhou Yi thought to himself, remained calm and continued to pretend to be a wandering monk, drinking wine by leaning on the string of the boat.
As the fairy sound came and the spiritual light appeared, the merchants on the boat also saw the fairy boat passing through the moonlight and waves. They were all shocked, dumbfounded and at a loss.
A clear and elegant voice came from the fairy boat.
"Tang Ao, a scholar from the Tang Dynasty in China, you have an affinity with my mistress. Please come up here for a while."
As the voice fell, a rainbow light rose from the fairy boat, crossed an arch-like arc, and fell into the building boat.
The rainbow light faded and turned into a white jade floating bridge.
On the high point of the Jade Bridge, there are three immortals, two men and one woman, wearing flowing clothes and miraculous figures.
Especially the fairy in the center has a delicate face, and her beauty exudes a solemn temperament that cannot be violated.
Everyone on the boat dared to stand, so they all knelt down, knelt down, and prayed to the three gods.
Even Tang Ao was stunned.
He knew in his heart that this was Princess Xiu who was wandering overseas and came to meet him after receiving a message from her own merits and virtues.
But he never expected that Princess Xiu would appear in this way.
Tang Ao calmed down and was about to take a step when his sleeve was grabbed by the woman beside him.
"Husband, you can't abandon us..."
Tang Ao looked at Tang who didn't know what he was thinking. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was about to explain when he suddenly woke up.
The princess must have had a purpose in setting up such a huge formation and pretending to be a sea fairy. He could not expose her identity.
"Don't worry, madam. I'm just going up to talk to those immortals for a while. I will never leave you behind."
Tang Ao comforted in a low voice.
But Mrs. Tang still refused to give up and cried.
Lin Yuanyang still couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and separated the two of them, pointing at his sister and scolding: "Why are you so ignorant? Tang Ao's immortal destiny is your immortal destiny. Now you have delayed his immortal destiny.
It’s you who will regret it in the future.”
Tang Ao glanced at his wife and brother gratefully, sighed softly, stepped forward, and climbed onto the Jade Bridge.
Under the moonlit sky, Tang Ao bowed to the three people in front of him, and then said excitedly: "Tang Ao meets Her Royal Highness, I don't know these two..."
Princess Xiu smiled and said: "This is my teacher, Yan Qufu. This one is Mr. Huang, who is also an expert in the world."
Hearing the words "Yan Qufu", Tang Ao stood in awe, turned around and bowed deeply to the middle-aged man with white beard and hair: "I have heard for a long time that General Yan fought against the aliens at the northern border, especially guarding Beirong alone.
In that battle of Dao, I killed nearly ten thousand enemies, stood firm on the city wall, and did not move a step for half a month, and made great contributions to protecting the people of our Central Kingdom. I am well-deserved for the name of Martial Saint!"
Yan Qu's Mansion also gave him a gift: "Mr. Tang, thank you for your praise. Yan is a martial artist, and in order to stabilize the country and govern the country, you still need to wait for the literati to come up with suggestions."
Tang Ao didn't dare, and then turned around and bowed deeply to the "Mr. Huang". This man looked kind and kind, with a smile on his face, like a rich man. He might have accompanied the princess here, so he was obviously not an ordinary person.
"I wonder when the princess plans to return to China with me?" Tang Ao asked in a low voice.
A complicated look appeared in Princess Xiu's eyes: "I came to see you tonight because I intend to tell you... that I am not planning to go back for the time being."
Tang Ao's face changed slightly, and he also showed some confusion: "Could it be that the princess hasn't found the treasure that can reveal the true face of the false prince?"
"Yes and no."
Princess Xiu sighed softly: "It wasn't until I traveled overseas and set foot in the Pure Land that I understood one thing. Even if I can expose the true face of the false prince, it is still difficult to defeat the forces behind it. If you want to truly save me in Central Earth,
In times of crisis, there is only one solution."
"The princess actually arrived in the Pure Land?"
Tang Ao looked surprised, then calmed down and said: "Please give me some advice, princess."
Chen Lingxiu looked at the endless cold smoke waves between the sea and the sky at night, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.
"We can only wait, wait for one person to come back. Only if he comes back, maybe we can bring order to the chaos and defeat the forces behind the false prince."
Just like that year on the Yuqing River, he killed the big demon and allowed himself to return to the clan.
Although she was not happy at first, over the years, after experiencing palace turmoil and countless open and secret fights, she gradually understood that everything was destined, including the appearance of that monk.
"Waiting for someone?"
Tang Ao murmured in a low voice, looking puzzled.
He was about to ask again when suddenly, a burst of clear laughter came from the building boat below.
"No wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess has been reluctant to return to Chang'an City. It turns out that she had great adventures overseas and actually became an immortal.
However, you are my Princess of the Tang Dynasty after all, and your father and brother miss you dearly.
Please, Your Highness, follow me back to the palace."
At the same time as the laughter rang out, powerful auras rose from the building ship.
Dozens of figures flew into the air and surrounded the four people on the Jade Bridge. The leaders were Bai Xianlang and Manager Wang.
'Oops! I fell into a trap.'
Tang Ao's face changed slightly. Seeing the familiar faces disguised as merchants, he knew that he had been targeted by the pretender prince's men from the beginning.
After wandering at sea for three or four months, living together on the same ship, I was unable to see through it.
"A bunch of rats! Do you really think that this general can't recognize your true colors?"
However, Yan Qufu suddenly roared, stood up, took out the copper pipe from his waist, and slashed it forward.
A majestic killing spirit, like a waterfall falling, rolled towards the palace secret guards headed by Manager Wang.
"Devil, suffer death!"
Buzz!
From the bodies of the more than twenty palace secret guards, dark and deep demonic energy arose, turning into ghastly demonic shadows. Ghosts cried, wolves howled, and blood boiled, fighting with the Yanqu Mansion.
On the other side, Mr. Huang also rose into the sky, controlled the clouds and mist, pressed down lightly with his palms, and then lifted up.
boom!
Thousands of water spirits rose from the sea, turned into warriors of the water tribe, waved flags and shouted, besieging Bai Xianlang and other immortal sect cultivators.
"Little tricks."
Bai Xianlang muttered something in his mouth, then waved his long sleeves forward, as if millions of earth essences were summoned by him, and in an instant he built an earth city above the sea to block the offensive of the water tribe's heroes.
He narrowed his long eyes, looked at Mr. Huang up and down, and suddenly sneered: "So it's just a yellow croaker? Tsk, tsk, Her Highness the Princess went overseas and ended up in the company of evil spirits. It's really ridiculous."
Mr. Huang snorted coldly: "How presumptuous! You are the evil one! They are called the Royal Immortal Sect, but they are the lackeys of the fake prince Youjiaojun. What they do is indistinguishable from that of a demon!"
He suddenly transformed into a yellow croaker with a height of nearly a thousand feet. Golden light overflowed from his body, and there were faint signs of burning his tail and turning into a dragon.
As he changed back to his original form, he summoned the power of the water tribe to rise again, like a million soldiers, destroying the city and the stronghold. After several attacks, he broke through Bai Xianlang's defense.
"Hmph, how dare you look down on me, Mr. Huang? Let me tell you, I am a pure land, and the great protector with a yellow beard is also here."
As he spoke, Huang Xu's giant fish eyes showed a trace of regret. Many years ago, he once joked to a group of county nobles on the Yuqing River that he was the great yellow-bearded Dharma protector under the holy monk, but he did not expect that his words would become a prophecy.
.
Over the years, due to drastic changes in the demon world, he had no choice but to leave the Yuqing River. He wandered all the way with ups and downs, hiding in Tibet, but was eventually extradited by the mysterious Pure Land and became a protector of the Pure Land as a demon clan.
It was not until later that he realized that this creation was closely related to his relationship with the holy monk.
But even in the Pure Land, the holy monk who once played in the human world has gradually become a legend. After many years, no one knows where he is... or whether he is still there.
The moonlight was like water, before it fell into the sea, it was cut into pieces by the air waves during the fierce battle, like snowflakes floating in the air.
The ordinary people on the building boat had already been frightened out of their wits by the battle between the "gods" above their heads. They were lying on the ground one by one, trembling, muttering words, praying for peace.
Many merchants also secretly swore that if they could return to China safely this time, they would worship God day and night and never go to sea again.
On the Jade Bridge, Tang Ao had opened the treasure scroll of merit to block the aftermath and protect the merchant ships below.
At this moment, a familiar feeling rose from the bottom of Tang Ao's heart.
"Don't...don't come!"
The thing he least expected to see happened.
Among the turbulent waves of the sea, a huge monster slowly rose up. It was the nine-headed monster that had often appeared and fought with him for more than a month.
"Princess, leave quickly!"
Tang Ao gritted his teeth, held the treasure scroll of merit, and flew towards the nine-headed monster.
This monster didn't come sooner or later, but it chose this time, and it was clearly trying to take advantage of the princess.
Since he caused everything, he has to end it naturally. If he can't stop it...then he can only retaliate with death!
Tang Ao's eyes were red, and he had a death wish in his heart.
He was in mid-air, subconsciously looking down at the ship.
On the deck, Ms. Tang was hugging her two children, crying and trembling.
She was obviously frightened to the extreme, but she still raised her head tremblingly, trying to find herself, her eyes full of worry.
Tang Ao felt a sudden pain in his heart.
Although Tang's family is a bit of a philistine, that's because they have been running around with him for many years, endured hardships, and had to worry about everything in order to survive.
He had finally achieved success in cultivation, but he couldn't even give her a fortune...
Tang Ao's heart was filled with deep reluctance and self-blame.
Suddenly, a strange but familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Scholar Wu, don't be stunned. Continue acting... No, keep fighting!"
Tang Ao was startled, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the nine-headed demon king opposite with a face full of jest, "Acting?"
The Nine-Headed Demon Lord snorted coldly: "Idiot, haven't you guessed it yet? I'm here to play with you every night, and I'm not just under the orders of my Buddha to deceive those thieves. The mastermind behind the scenes is about to show up tonight, I
From now on, you will finally no longer have to act with your kid."
Tang Ao's heart was shaken, and he looked down, finally seeing the young monk who was sitting casually on the corner of the deck, blowing the sea breeze, with a calm face.
