Chapter 35 Boarding
No one knows why Duobao Sect blows up the flying boat from the Hidden Sword Sect, or no one knows whether Duobao Sect is the one who blows up the flying boat.
But it is a fact that the flying boat is gone, and finding the next way out is imminent. As for the reason of the matter, it is too late to explore it carefully.
There are only two roads in front of Qian Yang and others. Either stay in the crescent moon and wait for the Yinjianmen to send a flying boat to rescue again, or find a suitable one in the existing large flying boat in the crescent moon and board a sailboat.
The monks fight against the will of heaven and fight for their fate, and the word "fight" tells the monk's survival rules. In the hearts of everyone, they are actually unwilling to stay in a strange place with many crises, such as the strange place in the crescent moon continent, passively wait for the arrangement of fate.
After a brief discussion, the controversial issues have been transformed without a trace to whether they should take the boat from Zhuyufang or Sihefang.
According to Lao Zheng, merchant ships passing through the Crescent Monthly Continent usually do not refuse other monks’ requests for boarding, but passengers need to pay a considerable fee.
Moreover, Lao Zheng has acquaintances on these two flying boats, and his friendship is not very deep, but he still has the face of paying for a boat ride. In other words, the initiative to take the boat is still in the hands of the people of Yinjianmen.
Everyone discussed it enthusiastically for a while. Some people thought it was better to ride on the flying boat in Zhuyufang. After all, the guard power on that boat was quite good. If an unexpected situation occurred, he could borrow some power.
Others objected, and they believed that because Zhuyufang's strength was qualified to compete with them, if they really got on the flying boat of Zhuyufang, their initiative would be greatly reduced. Moreover, if they encountered attacks from Duobao Sect, the monks of Zhuyufang would never be able to fight against Duobao Sect with them.
In contrast, Sihefang, which has weak defense power, will undoubtedly give the Hidden Sword Sect a greater choice.
Both sides have different opinions and cannot argue.
Qian Yang never made any statement. He firmly believed that the choice of Hidden Sword Sect should have been fixed. The so-called group discussion is just a formality. People like him who are not clear about it should not cause trouble for others, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble if someone understands it and wants to guide him later.
Sure enough, when everyone was discussing it almost, Lao Zheng spoke up: "I think, even if Duobao Sect takes action against us, the number of people who can be dispatched will be limited. What do you think of Fellow Daoist Qian?"
Qian Yang nodded quickly: "That's right, I'm going to hide it from you. The grudge between you this time and the Duobao Sect actually originated from the personal grudge between me and some people in the Duobao Sect. Even if that person can use some excuses to raise the conflict to the level of the sect, the conflict between the sects is far from so intensified."
After looking at Lao Zheng's expression, Qian Yang continued: "So, this incident is just someone who takes personal revenge, so he cannot use the Duobao Sect's staff on a large scale, otherwise once the situation expands, he will not be able to deal with the consequences."
Lao Zheng smiled and nodded: "Fellow Daoist Qian is right, but since Duobao Sect intends to take the initiative to attack us, at least the strength on paper should be above us. So I boldly speculate that the personnel used by Duobao Sect should be about twice ours. I think the error of this number should not be very large."
Everyone nodded.
Lao Zheng continued: "Since that's the case, if we take the flying boat in Zhuyufang, our manpower and Zhuyufang's manpower will be combined, our strength will not be inferior to Duobao Sect too much.
If this is the case, Zhuyufang may not necessarily stand by, because after all, we paid."
A person next to him mentioned this but shook his head: "Old Zheng, no matter how many people there are, Zhuyufang cannot fight with Duobao Sect. They are merchants and there is no reason to offend their customers."
"That's right!" Lao Zheng nodded in agreement, but continued: "It is indeed impossible for Zhuyufang to fight with Duobao Sect, but even if we can't borrow their power, we can still borrow some momentum. Duobao Sect will definitely be afraid of the power that is not inferior to them. So I think riding on the flying boat of Zhuyufang is more beneficial than disadvantages!"
Qian Yang nodded secretly, seeing what others said, it was reasonable and seamless!
Of course, with Qian Yang's insight, he definitely has reason to believe that if Lao Zheng wanted to take the flying boat in Sihefang, he would definitely be able to come up with a set of equally reasonable and well-founded statements.
In the final analysis, there is actually no essential difference between a word and a deception.
"There is only one problem." Wu Qingshui said: "Are those people in Zhuyufang reliable?"
Lao Zheng was silent for a moment before answering carefully: "If you borrow a hundred courageous behavior in Zhuyufang, they dare not plot against our Hidden Sword Sect. However, if there will be some people on the ship with ulterior motives, no one can tell. I can only say that most of the people on the ship should be reliable!"
"Then let's get on the boat in Zhuyufang?" Wu Qingshui asked.
Lao Zheng turned to look at Luo Yongxi: "What do Junior Brother Luo think?"
Luo Yongxi looked at Qian Yang: "What do Senior Brother Qian thinks?"
Qian Yangxin said, okay! My social status is so high that it is unconsciously high?
"It's good that you'll decide, I have no objection." Qian Yang was still tactful. Luo Yongxi was a person who didn't know what he thought. He was so old that he couldn't know what he thought. He couldn't say that he would take you up!
When Luo Yongxi heard Qian Yang's words, he had no objection and said to Lao Zheng: "Just decide."
Lao Zheng looked at Wu Qingshui and said that it was: What are you doing? Give me a message now!
Wu Qingshui curled his lips aggrievedly: "You decide!"
Lao Zheng asked loudly again: "Everyone has no objection, right?"
Some people said they had no objection, some people didn't say anything, so things were decided so happily.
Lao Zheng laughed: "Since everyone agrees to take the boat in Zhuyufang, I will run for everyone and try to choose a spacious room for everyone."
Qian Yang did not know how Lao Zheng negotiated with the people from Zhuyufang, but soon, the group of sixteen people successfully boarded the flying boat of Zhuyufang and was assigned two quite spacious adjacent cabins for rest.
When he was out and on the boat, the eight people had already treated him well. No one was dissatisfied with this. However, Qian Yang was somewhat puzzled about how smoothly he boarded the boat.
According to his understanding, Zhuyufang is a cargo ship, and it is a cargo ship loaded with high-value items. Even from the perspective of safety, it should not bring a group of strong outsiders along the journey that is already full of crisis.
After the people of the Hidden Sword Sect were settled, Qian Yang deliberately consulted Lao Zheng about this, and the answer he got really surprised him.
Lao Zheng told him that the reason why the cargo ship is willing to carry passengers is actually because the people who run the boat want to earn a lot of extra money with this!
The journey from Zhongzhou to Western Wilderness is both hard and dangerous, if you don't take the opportunity
If you make a little money, no one is willing to do this kind of chore. Therefore, a monk who runs a boat makes a small profit while delivering goods, which can almost be regarded as a hidden rule in this industry.
When the water is clear, there is no fish. The chamber of commerce or sect behind the flying boat can only turn a blind eye to it. Lao Zheng even said that he had made a lot of money before.
Qian Yang smiled and said, would he have made a profit this time if the flying boat was not bombed?
Lao Zheng smiled but said nothing.
Eight men lived in a room, and the air quality in the cabin was imaginable. Qian Yang was not willing to stay in it for too long, but was banned from getting off the boat by Lao Zheng, so he could only find a reason to wander around on the deck.
Luo Yongxi has been following Qian Yang silently, and she dared not leave her step a little while as if she was caring for a three-year-old child.
Qian Yang did not refuse, but just looked left and then on the boat, looking at some casually to chat with some people.
The people in Zhuyufang are all in the service industry, and they are concerned about greeting people with a smile. Qian Yang is willing to chat, while the people in Zhuyufang are unwilling to refuse. So it didn't take long for Qian Yang to learn a lot about the situation on the ship.
For example, the manager on the ship was surnamed Feng, and his cultivation level was in the Jindan stage. He was previously the shopkeeper of a large shop in Zhuyufang in the Western Wilderness. He had just changed his career to be responsible for cargo transportation.
Zhuyufang came to the Western Wilderness this time to send another person to take over his job. This time, the voyage is the first time that Manager Feng has delivered goods.
For example, Manager Feng's deputy is affectionately called Lao Qiao. This Lao Qiao only has the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage and is not considered a serious person in the Zhuyufang. He is about to retire.
But it was this old Qiao who had been running all his life. He was the oldest person on this ship and a veritable old driver.
Manager Feng was just a little bit old and was not familiar with many things, so he promoted Lao Qiao to his side. While helping him share his worries, he also solved the problem of the benefits of retired comrades.
Manager Feng still trusts Lao Qiao quite a bit. According to a quick-talking disciple of Zhuyufang, the way for people from the Hidden Sword Sect to climb the flying boat is Lao Zheng's way.
If there weren't people who knew each other, and so many people in the Hidden Sword Sect wanted to board the boat, Zhuyufang would probably have some concerns.
In addition to Superintendent Feng and Lao Qiao, there were more than 20 men from Zhuyufang, including eight monks from Jindan. I don’t know which cabin they were hiding. Anyway, Qian Yang had never seen any of them. Those men swaying around on the deck were foundation-building monks.
Qian Yang thought for a moment and realized that the Jindan monks in Zhuyufang should be responsible for the goods, and those goods that are said to be of great value should be hidden in them, while the Foundation-building monks are responsible for the ship to do odd jobs.
In addition to the monks from Zhuyufang and Hidden Sword Sect, there were also more than a dozen individual tourists on the ship. For ordinary monks, if they wanted to travel between the Western Wilderness and Zhongzhou, taking a merchant ship was the most convenient one. Qian Yang and Lao Ding also rode a small chamber of commerce when they came to the Western Wilderness before.
The treatment of individual tourists is definitely not as good as that of the people from Yinjianmen. Of course, there is no single living room. Zhuyufang only leaves the space used to pile up debris on the bottom of the flying boat.
Although more than a dozen people live in a utility room, it is not crowded, but after a two-month voyage, it is enough to reach the brink of collapse.
Qian Yang's mind has always been different from ordinary people, and I don't know what he was thinking. Anyway, he walked to the legendary utility room as he walked.
