Chapter 4 Going to sea
"Zongxun has met Master Du, Mrs. Du..."
Chen Xun followed the deacon's disciples to enter the magnificent hall of the inner courtyard and saw Du Liangyong, the head of Guihai Pavilion, one of the three major seaguest sects in Yangquan County, sitting on the cloud bed with a yellow face, walking forward to the ritual.
Chen Xun could sense that there were four late-stage monks in the wing room on both sides, who were vigilantly paying attention to every move here. It seemed that Guihai Pavilion was a little worried about him, a casual cultivator who was unfamiliar with him.
Or maybe Guihai Pavilion was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Du Liangyong was attacked, and was poisoned and paralyzed in close proximity. It was not strange that they were so careful and alert.
Chen Xun and Du Liangyong saluted respectfully, and there was no divine appearance in their eyes, and they seemed a little restrained. However, the divine light contained behind their pupils was like an open eye. It could be seen that Du Liangyong was indeed a strange poison in his body. Several black poisonous evil spirits were attached to his veins like maggots attached to his bones, and it seemed that countless fine beards were born, piercing into his bones and flesh, eroding his essence of qi and blood.
Du Liangyong originally cultivated into Lingyuan, and was one of the few early-stage strong men in the Tianyuan Realm in Yangquan County. However, this alien poison made him unable to refine a trace of spiritual energy and gather into the spiritual sea. Judging from his pupils, his soul was also extremely weak.
After a while, Mrs. Du took a dark green pill for Du Liangyong to take.
Although this pill has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, Chen Xun saw that Du Liangyong was not only able to cheer up his spirits slightly, but the poisonous evil constantly had new qi and blood to erode, which became more and more condensed in Du Liangyong's body.
Chen Xun secretly felt that Du Liangyong's own cultivation should not be able to remove the poisonous evil from his body...
It is easy for Chen Xun to remove the poisonous evil in Du Liangyong's body, but seeing that Du Liangyong has no worries about life for the time being, Chen Xun will not risk his identity being exposed.
Besides, Guihai Pavilion can establish a foothold in Yangquan City and stands with Liuhua Tower and Fanzi Cliff three-legged tripod, so there should be stronger sect support behind it.
It would be easy for the sect forces behind Du Liangyong to send a powerful Yuandan realm to remove the poisonous evil for him.
During the conversation, when Du Liangyong's words revealed the intention of recruiting, Chen Xun immediately refused without vaguely to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and asked Guihai Pavilion to create too many expectations in him.
Chen Xun said: "Zeng Master Du, Mrs. Du invites each other with great affection, Zong Xun is grateful. The family has fallen, and this time he strives for wealth and prosperity to make a living is just Zong Xun's original intention to go out to sea. After traveling tens of thousands of miles away from home for several months, Zong Xun realized that he used to stay at home to practice, but he was actually a frog in the well. When he went out to sea, Zong Xun also decided to increase his knowledge and help his cultivation. Zong Xun was over 30 years old, and it was too late to decide to practice at this time, but please don't advise me..."
Seeing that Chen Xun had made up his mind, Du Liangyong was inconvenient to persuade him, so he asked his maid to offer gifts to thank him, saying, "There was originally a sea boat going to sea at the end of this month in Guihai Pavilion, but due to this change, it may take some time to drag it out, and the brothers Zong would have to wait in Yangquan for some days."
Seeing that Du Liangyong was quite calm, Chen Xun wanted to look up to him and thought that he would change to other powerful people in the Tianyuan realm. Even when the sect was defeated, it would be difficult for him to have such a good temper for the Zhenyang realm casual cultivator with a low cultivation level.
Chen Xun stood up and said goodbye after giving the courtesy, not disturbing Du Liangyong's cultivation of illness.
************************
"Liangyong, what do you think of Zongxun?" After Chen Xun left, Mrs. Du helped Du Liangyong into the inner room to rest.
"He has no spirit in his eyes, but his temperament is quite good, and he gives people a very strange temperament. I promise to be good at observing people's skills, but I can't understand them. Maybe he is really a family that is not in the world, and the past few months of travel have caused his mind to be tempered, which gives people such an impression..."
Du Liangyong thought about the impression Chen Xun gave him, and always felt something strange.
"The next trip to Jiyue Kingdom is a big deal. Liangyong. Since you can't see through Zong Xun's roots, do you still want him to take a boat to sea?" asked Mrs. Du.
"Who has no secrets that are not for foreigners?" Du Liangyong smiled and said, "Since he has no malice to Guihai Pavilion, even if he has his own difficulties, we need to break the casserole to ask the end? He is kind to Guihai Pavilion, and it is worth taking him to go to sea. You find two old seamen and talk to him about the dangers at sea, so as not to know nothing after going to sea."
"I will arrange other things, but how to remove the poisonous evil on your body? You really don't go back to the mountain gate. Please help from your two masters?" Mrs. Du asked with concern.
Du Liangyong sighed bitterly: "After Master was in the process of transformation, I didn't follow their arrangements everywhere. First, I left the mountain gate and returned to Du to take over the management of Guihai Pavilion. I also married you, the daughter of the enemy sect, and gave birth to Tong'er. I went back to the mountain gate and asked them to help me remove the poisonous evil, and most of them would only suffer some ridicule. I have no worries at this time, and the poisonous evil will always have a chance to remove it. I will never surrender and ask them for it..."
"The next trip to sea is a big deal. It is related to Guihai Pavilion's thousand-year foundation. How can you go to sea like this?" asked Mrs. Du.
"Going to sea depends on wisdom but not strength, otherwise, my cultivation level is not enough," Du Liangyong said. "With the four elders help me, nothing will happen. I have been through it for so many years."
*********************
Guihai Pavilion arranged for Chen Xun to reclinize the yard, which had a bamboo forest separated from other yards, which was very quiet.
Chen Xun is here to be at peace.
Since his identity can be recognized by Guihai Pavilion, he can temporarily gain a foothold in Yangquan City.
With this identity, even if the sea boat does not go out to sea in the short term, he can still take other sea boats to leave the Yunzhou continent.
Although Du Liangyong was quite regretful that he could not recruit Chen Xun as a guest official, he still sent a chart as a thank-you gift.
The Sea of Flying Stars is vast, and even the inland sea areas within the Yunzhou and Jiyue Islands are hundreds of thousands of miles wide, not slightly smaller than the territory controlled by the Xiwu Dynasty.
In such a vast sea area, the number of monsters living and thriving is far beyond imagination.
Although there are also sects and countries established by human cultivators on Jiyue and other islands, some monsters with strong strength as human celestial realm have gathered into demonic forces in the Falling Star Sea. This is the biggest headache for the southeastern and eastern regions of Yunzhou...
There is a Longmen Sect in Yunzhou, and the Xuantian Sect defends the Southeast and Eastern Regions, and can resist the invasion of the Inland tribes, but the sects and island countries built by human cultivators overseas are not so lucky.
From time to time, news of the island country being swallowed up by the demon clan came, and Yangquan County has long been used to it.
It is natural to say what risks will the seamen and merchants in Yangquan and other counties experience when going to sea on sea boats.
However, great risks also create great opportunities.
Not to mention the countless rare treasures in the vast sea of falling stars, the products of island countries such as Jiyue are mostly insignificant things in Yunzhou. If they are transported to Yunzhou counties, they can get ten times or even hundreds of times huge profits.
There are also many disciples of various sects who ignore the danger of falling from the sea of stars and sneak into the deep area to practice. Many people use this opportunity to obtain breakthroughs, but countless people die.
The more detailed sea charts of the Falling Star Sea are all secrets that are not passed down by sea passenger sects like Guihai Pavilion. The sea charts sent by Du Liangyong are just simple books.
Even the simple book is a precious information explored by countless seamen with their lives, which cannot be easily obtained by the free cultivators of Zhenyang Realm that Chen Xun portrayed at this time.
Although it is not a spiritual cultivation area around Yangquan City, it is a good harbor with the best terrain in thousands of miles of water nearby.
Whether it is Guihai Pavilion, Fanzi Cliff, or Liuhua Tower, there are actually stronger sect support behind it.
In addition to these three companies, there are dozens of sea-climbing sects of different sizes, gathering tens of thousands of sea-climbing merchants here to make a living, making Yangquan City much more lively than inland cities.
Whenever there are sea boats by the port and business travelers gather, they want to buy the rare treasures brought back by seamen as soon as possible.
Yangquanfang Market, which is once every three months, is even more lively. There are even monks who work hard tens of thousands of miles away to see if there are any treasures in Yangquan worthy of their pockets.
Chen Xun disguised himself as a casual cultivator with limited cultivation, so he naturally would not join in these fun things. He had to watch the lively market and waited for going overseas to Jiyue and other island countries, so he had opportunities.
He lived in Guihai Pavilion's other courtyard for more than two months. Mrs. Du sent someone to inform him that Guihai Pavilion would arrange several sea boats to go to sea in the near future to make him ready...
***************************
Chen Xun disguised himself as a casual cultivator who was separated from his family slaves. Apart from a thin horse, his luggage was lost with his family servants. What preparations could he have?
After consulting with the old seamen in Guihai Pavilion, Chen Xun spent two days to buy some items. The day before going out to sea, he entered Meiling Fort outside Yangquan City of Guihai Pavilion.
Meiling Fort is an important place outside Yangquan City. Although it is very inconspicuous, it may not be enough for the middle and late stages of the return of the fetus realm to practice in seclusion, it is one of the most rare spiritual veins and spiritual acupoints near Yangquan City.
Meiziling Mountain extends into the sea, and the terrain of the southern foothills is sunken, forming a natural harbor pool, which is also the unique dock port of Guihai Pavilion.
When Chen Xun entered Meiling Fort, three sea boats were mooring at Wugang.
The three sea boats are about the same size, about thirty feet long, floating on the blue sea surface as blue as a mirror.
The capital of the ship was carved out of ebony to create a huge sea beast statue, and the giant sail was like the converging black bone wings of the sea beast.
The towering mast is covered with a layer of red fine copper, and the mysterious secret seal is engraved with densely packed, making the entire mast merge with the hull like molten gold cast iron. It is impossible for ordinary wind and waves to break the mast.
The entire sea ship is made of thick giant wood, and there is a faint light of inspiration inside the hull.
With Chen Xun's eyesight, it is not difficult to see that in addition to the red fine copper covered on the surface of the hull, the mysterious secret seal with various wonderful uses engraved, these three sea ships also contain small defensive magic arrays; and there are four defensive magic arrays carried inside each sea ship.
The biggest problem with the defensive magic circle outside the mountain gate is that it is difficult to use continuously.
Without the prohibition on gathering spirits, the only way to solve this problem is to prepare several more defensive magic arrays on the same ship so that one magic array can be used in rotation and other magic arrays can be used in rotation.
