The fairy is fierce
Chapter 7: The Long Sea Journey
The waves on the sea were rough, and the strong wind carried snowflakes, blowing the flag of Yingyang Fairy Palace on the bow of the ship.
Cheng Jiujiang sat cross-legged under the flagpole on the bow of the ship, holding an umbrella in his hand to cover a small charcoal stove in front of him to prevent the wind and snow from extinguishing the fire.
There is a copper pot on the small charcoal stove, which is steaming with sliced fish fillets. Next to it are a small jar of wine and two small dishes of ginger and garlic sauce.
Zhao Wuxie, dressed as a swordsman, held a fishing rod in his hand and leaned out of the edge of the boat to catch sea fish. From time to time, he picked up chopsticks and took a bite while listening to Cheng Jiujiang's nonsense.

There are no dietary requirements for practitioners, and they will not starve to death if they don't eat or drink. However, on the sea where ghosts can't be seen, the spiritual energy is too thin to practice. The two men can't pass the time by practicing dual cultivation. Zhao Wuxie can only eat a few mouthfuls of hot food. Yeah, there's nothing else to do.
Fortunately, Cheng Jiujiang is older, has more experience, and is more talkative. The journey is not boring, but what he talks about is not very popular:
"...Longyang Dan is a good thing. It uses the blood of the Yellow Glory Snake as the medicine. It takes seven, seven and forty-nine days to refine it in the alchemy furnace. The Yellow Glory Snake is a genus of the dragon, and he has inherited one of his innate magical powers." The word 'yin' in the dragon's nature is so lustful, and its energy is said to give Linggu monks an 'immortal spear' that is comparable to an immortal weapon, and can break the untainted golden body of a jade-level immortal..."
"Isn't it just an aphrodisiac? There are so many of them in the world. What's so weird about it? Normal monks wouldn't need this."
"Hey, you are wrong. Aphrodisiacs are harmful to people. Longyang Pill is a good health product. It is suitable for both men and women. It only affects emotions and does not disturb the mind. People who practice practice pay attention to restraining their passions. Over time, they will easily lose sight of the world of mortals. I lost interest in dual cultivation. I didn’t touch Taoist companions for several years. When I did, it was routine, and then gradually I became a stranger..."
Cheng Jiujiang took out a box of Longyang Pills and said solemnly:
"Longyang Pill is a wonderful thing that is specially designed to increase the warmth between Taoist couples. No matter how old you are thousands of years old or how gentle and calm your personality is, just one pill can bring you back to the age you were when you were eighteen. The 'impulsiveness' of a wolf and a tiger... Both parties felt comfortable afterwards, and the lingering feeling of youth was naturally restored..."
Zhao Wuxie picked up the fish fillets and rinsed them in the sauce dish with a smile on his face:
"After hearing what Brother Cheng said is so powerful, I want to try it..."
"Hey, you can't try it here. It won't taste good if you eat it without a partner. Do you know that a female cat is in heat? She rolls around on the wall all night long and screams..."
Cheng Jiujiang was talking enthusiastically when Zhao Wuxie, who was sitting opposite, put down his chopsticks, held the sword leaning against him, and looked towards the stern of the ship.
Cheng Jiujiang was stunned and looked back, only to see a ship breaking through the waves on the snowy night.
The ship is about thirty feet long and is brightly lit. The light of the ship's protection formation can be faintly seen. There are figures walking around on the deck, most of them dressed in white.
Although I didn't look carefully, I could clearly feel the prying eyes coming from the ferry behind me, and then the flag hanging on the top of the ship's building flashed a few times.
When Cheng Jiujiang saw this scene, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Zhao Wuxie looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, he smiled and said:
"Look, I scared you so much. It's the ferry from Yingyang Immortal Palace. I'm one of you, so don't worry."
In fact, Zhao Wuxie was not surprised. The vast sea area had no trace, and he suddenly bumped into a chasing ship. With no way to advance or retreat, he would definitely be on guard.
Waiting for the ferry boat to transport people to approach, Zhao Wuxie relaxed a little when he saw the emblem of Yangxian Palace reflected on the boat building. He stood up and waited for the ferry boat to pass by.
As the large ship behind approached, it slowed down and a middle-aged man dressed as a butler appeared on the edge of the deck, speaking from a distance:
"I'm Han Long from Yingyang Immortal Palace. The two Taoist friends look unfamiliar to each other. The flag of Yingyang Immortal Palace is hanging on the boat, so I'm chasing you to have a look. Please forgive me."
As soon as Cheng Jiujiang heard this, he understood that the other party was doubting their identity, so he took out his sect badge and announced his family name:
"Cheng Jiujiang of the Iron Cu Mansion of Dongzhou, nicknamed 'Dugu Jiujiang', came here during this trip and met Miss Qiu of the noble sect in Thunder Bluff, and was arranged to run a boat back and forth..."
Han Long on the ferry, after a little inquiry and found that there was no problem, his attitude became much more friendly:
"It turns out that he is a disciple of the Valkyrie. It's a pleasure to meet you. We happened to be on the same journey and there is a banquet on the boat. Why don't you two come on board to sit down?"
These words were obviously just polite words. As soon as Cheng Jiujiang looked at the specifications of the ferry, he knew that the people on board were children of wealthy families. They were not in the same circle as monks with no background at all. There was no way he could talk to each other after getting on board, so he declined politely:
"Someone has to take care of the cargo on the ship, so we won't bother Mr. Han. We can just follow behind."
Han Long didn't say much when he saw this. Out of courtesy, he asked his disciples to fetch two jars of good wine and deliver them to the cargo ship via air, then returned to the ship building.
When the ferry passed by, Cheng Jiujiang drove the cargo ship and followed a hundred feet away. He picked up a jar of fairy brew and looked at it:
"Ha! As expected of the Immortal Chief of Yingyang Immortal Palace, his actions are really grand..."
Zhao Wuxie looked at the ferry boat in front of him. He couldn't see the details inside the boat due to the formation, so he asked:
"Who is on the boat? Miss Qiu?"
Cheng Jiujiang opened the wine jar and took a deep breath, with an intoxicated look on his face:
"No. Miss Qiu is more pragmatic. She only focuses on slaying demons and does not create ostentation. She takes whatever ship is available. Judging by the time, she has probably already arrived at Posu Island. The boat in front is a private ferry, and the person on it is probably Yingyang Immortal. The young master of the palace, Dongfang Xu..."
Zhao Wuxie stayed in Huajunzhou for a long time, but he was kept free by his master and worked at the bottom. He had never heard of this name. He asked:
"Is this person very powerful?"
Cheng Jiujiang nodded and said: "How powerful are the direct descendants of Yang Shen? When I first arrived in Xiaofengdu, I was lucky enough to meet him once. His appearance and temperament are so handsome, he is half as good as Brother Zuo..."
Zhao Wuxie was stunned for a moment, recalling Zuo Lingquan's cold demeanor that was comparable to that of an immortal in Luojian Mountain, and was slightly surprised:
"So handsome?"
"That's not the case. In my opinion, Dongfang Xu still misses Miss Qiu. Last time he picked someone up in Xiaofengdu, and this time he probably went to find Miss Qiu. It's a pity that Miss Qiu is dedicated to exterminating demons and defending the Tao, and she doesn't care about men. He never speaks falsely and ignores Dongfang Xu..."
"The granddaughter of the Sword God, and the descendant of the Yang God, she seems to be a good match..."
"Hey! Miss Qiu is a direct descendant of Lord Barren Mountain. Marrying to Yingyang Immortal Palace is equivalent to marrying Yingyang Immortal Palace and Juejianya. She has no relationship with Lord Barren Mountain. Can she be considered a good match?"
Cheng Jiujiang sat down by the stove and took a sip of wine:
"In my opinion, Miss Qiu, who has such a high moral character, will return home sooner or later to inherit the position of the Lord of Huangshan, so her husband has to come; the proud son of heaven in Huajunzhou will definitely not go to Dongzhou to marry into his wife. This husband You can only find it in Dongzhou. There is only one swordsman of the same age in Dongzhou who is worthy of Miss Qiu..."
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Zuo is not a womanizer."
Zhao Wuxie raised his hand, looked around a few times, and then leaned into Cheng Jiujiang's ear:
"Besides, no matter how powerful Miss Qiu is, she still has a relatively large backing. In terms of swordsmanship talent, being matched with Brother Zuo is considered a high ranking..."
"You're talking nonsense. Miss Qiu doesn't mention her talent and background. She has an all-powerful appearance, and she is paired with Brother Zuo, who is both a man and a talented woman. There is no such thing as a high profile. Miss Qiu is a high profile person. Who else in the world can match Brother Zuo?" A good match? Valkyrie... Bah"
When Cheng Jiujiang said this, he gave himself a big mouth and quickly bowed his hands:
"It's a sin, it's a sin, the disciple joked for a while, Grandmaster, don't blame me..."
Zhao Wuxie shook his head and laughed, but did not answer, but in his heart, he really thought so. For a swordsman, Zuo Lingquan is a god, so why should he be paired with a Valkyrie?
But he didn't dare to say this...
……——
In the same sea area, on another ferry two months apart.
The Bagua emblem of the Taoist ancestral family is hung on the boathouse. On the deck, there are more than ten monks looking at the snow across the railings and talking to each other. The remaining monks who are crossing the sea stay in the boathouse, listening to the sermons of the masters, and passing the long journey. Have a boring time.
There were quite a few passengers on the ferry, but there were no escorts escorting the ship, because the purpose of the ship was to go overseas to slay demons. There was no point in bringing bodyguards with soldiers when they went on an expedition.
As for safety, there is no need to worry. The first prerequisite for wanting to go to Posu Island is to be able to wield a sword. The monks on the ship have at least half a step of Youhuang Taoism. The higher you go, the more you go. There is no telling whether there is a certain ancestor of the Immortal Family hidden inside. , if this kind of ship can be attacked at sea, then the expert escort may not be useful.
On the third floor of the ship building, in a room facing the sea.
Zuo Lingquan was wearing a white robe and leaning on the bedside. He kept two swords at hand at all times. He held a "Demon Illustrated Book" in his hand and carefully memorized the identification methods and living habits of common monsters.
Monsters are actually very common. Those that are beneficial to people are spiritual beasts, and those that are harmful to people are demons. There is no essential difference between the two.
Zuo Lingquan was rarely seen in the past, because the beasts that walked in the territory of the righteous way and used people as food were all skinned and boned by people as an opportunity, so it was difficult to see the monsters that had become established.
But it's not the case outside. There are demon forces among the Youying alien tribe, and there are countless great demons that have become popular.
According to the book, the higher the realm of monsters, the more like humans they look. Of course, this does not mean that the human race is uniquely blessed by nature and must become human in order to practice; the way of heaven treats all living beings equally, and no one’s life is more valuable than anyone else’s. Pigs can all ascend, and there are no racial restrictions at all.
But the land of Jiuzhou is dominated by the human race after all. When birds and beasts embark on the path of spiritual practice, they first open up their spiritual wisdom, and then fall into a crazy stage of seeking knowledge, learning all kinds of knowledge that is beneficial to them like babies.
In a world dominated by the human race, the only things that can be learned are from the human race. As they learn more things, it becomes natural for monsters to speak and behave like humans.
Moreover, it is easier to hide and survive in the land of Jiuzhou when you become human. The body of a high-level demon can move hundreds and thousands of feet, which attracts too much attention, so most of them will hide their true body and walk in human form. It is difficult for ordinary people not to show off their appearance. distinguish.
The most powerful monster Zuo Lingquan has ever seen is the 'Four Elephant Divine Marquis' who transformed from a human into a monster. Naturally, he is a little afraid of those unknown real monsters. He may encounter monsters in the future. These early preparations , looked at it very seriously.
The lights were on in the room, and Jingxun, who was also reading a book in his arms, may have been sleepy from reading, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning on his chest.
Jingxun was wearing a pink-colored close-fitting top and thin trousers, revealing nothing. However, in order to keep her husband warm and eye-catching while reading, the collar was slightly unbuttoned, revealing a round and white body underneath; her mature cheek was pressed against her chest, Her soft lips were dotted with male-colored rouge, and she looked extremely alluring.
Unfortunately, the risks of going out to sea this time were unpredictable. In order to prevent accidents, Zuo Lingquan didn't want to play with his wife, so he could only put his hands inside the ball to keep warm, and he was craving for the white jade tiger that was still and full of juice.
Moreover, the ancestor didn’t know what he was doing these past two days. He was very happy to hear Jingxun say it, but he didn’t say anything when asked, and Jingxun was not allowed to mess around.
Jingxun didn't know the details, so he naturally didn't dare to mess around, so he could only lean on Zuo Lingquan's arms to help warm his hands.
The night was quiet. Zuo Lingquan flipped through a few pages of a book. When he was absorbed in reading, Jingxun in his arms suddenly condensed her breath and moved her eyes slightly, as if she was dreaming. ?
Zuo Lingquan had experienced such a scene last time and had experience. This time, he immediately realized that the ancestor was coming!
Here again...
Recalling the last scene, Zuo Lingquan quickly pulled out the hand between Tuan'er and smoothed the collar of Jingxun's chest to prevent the ancestor from coming to scold him.
But Zuo Lingquan underestimated the speed of the ancestor Shangguan.
The ancestor Shangguan didn't open his eyes, but it didn't mean that he didn't come. She just felt it and found that there was a hand touching her chest. She was slightly startled and quickly raised her arm to grab the thief's hand. !
Zuo Lingquan froze and wanted to pull his hand back, but he couldn't.
Patriarch Shangguan slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the man in front of him with cold eyes:
"What are you doing?"
Zuo Lingquan looked a little innocent, and motioned to his right hand that was still on Jingxun's conscience:
"Senior, don't get me wrong, I'll help Jingxun close her collar, so that you won't be embarrassed when you come over."
"..."
Patriarch Shangguan's expression slowly eased when he saw that Zuo Lingquan's reaction was not fake.
She had just been resting in the guest room of Zuo's mansion, and when she felt that Jingxun had fallen asleep, she came to chat with someone, but she didn't expect to fall asleep in Zuo Lingquan's arms again.
This time Zuo Lingquan knew to withdraw his hand first, and Patriarch Shangguan was quite satisfied. She let go of Zuo Lingquan's hand, sat up on the bed, and skillfully closed her collar:
"You have made progress."
Patriarch Shangguan's momentum was already amazing, and his condescending attitude, coupled with the posture of buttoning his underwear with a calm attitude, looked like a ruthless rich woman who had just had sex with her lover and was ready to put on her clothes and leave.
Zuo Lingquan felt something was strange, but he didn't say much, so he just asked:
"Senior Shangguan, why are you here?"
Ancestor Shangguan turned over and landed in front of the bed, raised his hand to hook the dress:
"Just came to take a look."
While speaking, Ancestor Shangguan found something wrong again, leaned over to look at the dark hole under the bed, a white fur ball, covering its head with its wings, pretending to be "unable to see birds", who knows how long it has been hiding, it has fallen asleep.
"What's wrong with it?"
"It was afraid that the Dragon King of the West Sea would show up to block the way, so it hid. I took it out to sea for a hundred miles, and when I saw that there was no reaction in the sea, I got on the boat, it should be fine."
"Lingguang God has said that the Dragon King of the Four Seas will no longer care about it, let it sleep on the bed."
After Ancestor Shangguan was dressed, he turned and walked out of the room.
Zuo Lingquan also stood up and put on his clothes:
"Senior, where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a walk, you continue to sleep."
"Oh..."
The ancestor obviously didn't want him to follow, Zuo Lingquan was confused, but he didn't ask.
After watching the ancestor Shangguan leave the room, there was no wife to hold him, Zuo Lingquan shook his head and sighed, he could only pick up the cowardly dumpling and hold it in his arms to continue warming his hands.
"Ji?"
...
I wish you all a happy new year in advance.
There are so many things to do during the Chinese New Year, so I wrote very little, please forgive me. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I guess I won't be able to write much!
