Two hundred and eighty six: empty ship
"The fish wife is a foreign race in the sea. She is not as smart as others. She is born to breathe in the moonlight and cultivate qi and practice." Zheng Donglai observed the fish wife from afar. "Although this fish wife ignored the merchant ship so close because she was in the middle of her life, it can also be seen that her spiritual sense is weak, at most it should not exceed the perfection of the seat. I am old and weak, so I will not rob you of you."
The Qi Refiners were hesitating, but as soon as Zheng Donglai finished speaking, someone volunteered.
Immediately afterwards, Li Buzhuo saw someone preparing a ship. Two Qi Refiners jumped off the deck and approached the fish woman.
Suddenly, Li Buzhuo heard a very sharp and thin sound in his ear, far exceeding the frequency that ordinary human ear consciousness could recognize. If Li Buzhuo had not been tempered by the withered and prosperous energy, although his spirit was weak, his six consciousnesses were still sensitive, but he would have maintained the level of a master Qi Refiner, and he would never have noticed this sound.
Even after looking back in the sound, I saw that Quan Ying, who was still on the side of the deck just now, was gone, and the sound came from below the deck.
Li Buzhuo's heart moved and looked around. He saw that everyone, including Zheng Donglai, did not notice the sound, walked down the deck without moving, followed the sound and came to a boat room below the deck. The door was closed and the sound came from now on.
Li Buzhuo listened quietly to the breath inside, raised his eyebrows, and said to himself: "It was her? This voice is definitely not something that ordinary people can make. It turns out that she is also a sea clan, and she is mixed in the crowd. I was negligent for a moment and only recognized it now."
Li Buzhuo identified from the breathing sound in the boat room that the person in the room was Quan Ying, and then he realized why Zhulong reacted to her. The shape and spirit of Zhulong's sword spirit is similar to that of dragons, and he was born with a trace of dragon spirit. The clans in the sea can trace their roots to some extent to the dragons that have disappeared.
At this time, the sound that Li Buzhuo heard was sharp but not harsh. Instead, it contained the charm of being as ethereal as abyss and as vast as smoke, which was somewhat similar to the shark song described in the book.
Li Buzhuo thought of the news he heard on the boat these days that Chu Hong went out to sea for a treasure called dragon gauze. It is rumored that ancient ancestors had seen a real dragon in the sea. The dragon robes worn by the real dragon were cut into dragon gauze woven by the mermaids in the palace. It is said that the dragon gauze can be big or small, can avoid water and fire, and is subject to various laws without damage. The shape can also change with the heart. If you can get it, it will be like gaining magical powers.
Chu Hong went out to sea to find mermaids, and Quan Ying could sing mermaid songs and get on the merchant ship Shengong Pavilion, so her identity was naturally self-evident.
"She is actually a mermaid?"
Li Buzhuo remained silent and stayed away from the boat room.
After returning to the deck, the shark song still did not stop. Li Buzhuo looked from afar. The fish woman was shocked and suddenly looked up from under the water. She saw a ship approaching hundreds of feet away. In an instant, she suddenly pierced under the water, disappeared, leaving only a splash of water.
The people watching from afar on the Shengong Pavilion merchant ship exclaimed in unison, and Chu Hong looked even more nervous.
The two Qi Refiners in the distance followed the fish woman into the water, and then there was no movement on the sea surface. After half a cup of tea, the two went out to sea together. One of them seemed to have suffered some injuries on their arm, and they obviously returned empty-handed.
"Oh!" Chu Hong sighed and turned around and stopped looking at the sea.
Zheng Donglai smiled and said, "God has the virtue of being alive. Boss Chu did not catch the fish wife, which is also a merit."
Chu Hong smiled bitterly: "It would be fine if he just caught a glimpse of the traces of the fish woman, but this time it is a chance to be seen in a century. You should know that when the fish woman is awake, even the waves ten miles away cannot escape its perception. Only when the fish woman is awake, it is only focused on reproduction and has no defense from the outside world. Generally speaking, the fish woman will choose a very safe place, but this time it is probably affected by the whale falling. I want to go to search for the Fusang divine tree with you, so I found my spouse halfway and neglected to prevent it. I am afraid that this opportunity will be difficult for me to encounter again in my life. Unfortunately, the mermaid can make waves. If the fish woman's fish tendons are used as a piano, the journey will be greater than at least 30%.
"The opportunity cannot be forced." Zheng Donglai comforted him, "Although Boss Chu has not obtained a fish wife today, he will definitely gain something when looking for dragon silk tomorrow."
"I'll just let you know the auspicious words." Chu Hong sighed.
At this time, Quan Ying walked up from under the deck and came to the edge of the boat. When he saw the two Qi Refiners returning empty-handed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Li Buzhuo saw through her identity, he did not point it out. It is said that the mermaid is gentle and will not hurt people on his own initiative. Li Buzhuo was unintentionally concerned about her and Shengong Pavilion. Since he received the money from Shengong Pavilion as a Qi Refiner in the Status of the Site and took over the task of escorting the merchant ship, he just did his own job. As for whether Quan Ying had dragon silk, Li Buzhuo was not very concerned. The treasure was an external object and was of no use for practice. If he could get it, it would be the demon of the inner world.
The people on the boat were still regretting the fish woman. They were standing at the bow of the boat. The sea master who was monitoring the sea surface with the "Hydney" mechanism suddenly looked a little strange and came to Chu Hong to report a few words.
"Hmm? The news of the Shaling Navy has disappeared?"
When Chu Hong heard this, he frowned and came to the bow of the ship. He looked at the Shaling Navy fleet in the distance with his eyepiece. He saw that the Shaling Navy in the mist in the distance was still sailing forward, but several ships turned around from the fleet and drove towards the west.
The Qi Refiners could see a rough idea without using the eyepieces, and couldn't help but talk.
"The Shaling Navy has a boat turn around... There is a sea master in the Shaling Navy who can understand the sunshine of the clouds and sunshine a hundred miles away. Is it because there are big waves ahead?"
"Maybe I'm going home to pick up the fleet."
"Why can't Hyacin receive news from the Shaling Navy?"
"Let's talk about it when the ship is approaching."
Chu Hong hesitated for a moment and ordered the merchant ship to continue moving forward.
After most of the day of the ship, the two ships that left the Shaling Navy finally appeared ten miles away. It was already sunset. Even if the Qi Refiner had super-eyed eyes, it would be difficult for him to see clearly, so he could not even use the flag verb. Chu Hong had to order people to get off the anchor and stop the ship, waiting for the two warships of the Shaling Navy approaching.
Li Buzhuo looked up at the sky and saw large clouds gathered in the night sky, but they did not cover the moon, and the entire sea surface seemed very cold and graceful. Quan Ying was on the edge of the deck, looking at the group of Yao people thinking about something, and suddenly her nose raised, reflecting the sea breeze from the east, and suddenly her eyebrows frowned slightly and she muttered to herself in a low voice.
"It smells bloody?"
