On the deck, bamboos were piled all over the floor, about as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

"Brother Han," Lu Xing walked down the hill of stone houses and came to Han Rui, confused: "Are we going to use these bamboos to leave the island?"

Just after breaking open the stone door, Lu Xing found himself on a small island surrounded by endless sea.

Han Rui nodded, pointed to a line of small seal characters on the boulder on the left, and said: "Floating islands are easy to sink. Cross the river with a reed, and the way out is to the north. This is an assessment set by the owner of the Wen Dao ruins."

Lu Xing then looked around and saw the Wen Dao ruins. He didn't understand them as well as Han Ruilai did.

"Senior brother, the bamboo has been prepared, and all the sharp branches on it have been smoothed." A disciple from the academy came over and said respectfully.

"Okay, you go and ask the disciples to gather at the shore." Han Rui nodded, and after the disciples from the academy walked away, he asked Lu Xing, "Does Your Majesty know how to cross the river with a reed?"

"I know that Patriarch Bodhidharma once broke a reed on the shore and crossed the Yangtze River with a single breath machine." Lu Xing said.

Han Rui nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "What the prince said is true, but what Patriarch Bodhidharma crossed was an ordinary river, and the sea in the Wen Dao ruins contains the spirit of culture."

Facing Lu Xing's confused gaze, Han Rui continued to explain: "To cross the sea of ​​Wen, you need to pour the Haoran Qi into the Nanzhu first, so that you can resist the erosion of the Wenhai. Countless strange beasts are bred in the Wenhai, and you can avoid it if you surround yourself with the Haoran Qi.

Their invasion."

Lu Xing suddenly understood and said: "In this way, compared with the ordinary way of crossing the river with a reed, it only requires the support of Haoran Qi."

"Having said that, the sea of ​​literature is vast and there will be countless fog on the sea, making it difficult to see the direction clearly. During this period, it will be a test for the awe-inspiring spirit of the experienced disciples." Han Rui raised his eyebrows, changed his tone, and asked: "Prince

Are you feeling awe-inspiring?"

Lu Xing shook his head and said, "No, but since Mr. Chu is willing to let me participate, he must have some means."

"Yes, the sage asked me to take more care of the prince," Han Rui nodded, took out a jade ring from his waist, and said, "This is an artifact that has been nurtured by Haoran's energy for many years. Although it is not a cultural artifact, it contains Haoran's energy.

His Qi is no less than that of an ordinary Confucian cultivator in the realm of a gentleman. The prince can use his sword intention to mobilize the awe-inspiring Qi, so it is not difficult to cross the sea of ​​literature."

Several shouts were heard not far away. Except for one or two disciples who were still inspecting Nanzhu, most of the disciples had already assembled and greeted Han Rui who was standing taller.

Han Rui waved to the disciples, then turned around and said the last words to Lu Xing.

"Although I don't know why the wise man admires the prince so much, I, Han Rui, will remember Uncle Chu's instructions and I will be responsible for the prince's safety in the Wen Dao ruins."

Lu Xing didn't respond. He smiled faintly and followed Han Rui to the shore.

Han Rui walked to the front of the crowd, raised his voice, and said loudly: "We will cross the sea later and stay closer to each other. If there is an accident, we can support each other."

"Of course, if someone feels that his awe-inspiring energy is insufficient, he can ride on a bamboo with me, Han Rui." As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes fell on Lu Xing, as if it was Lu Xing who said this.

Looking at the looks cast by the poor disciples around him, Lu Xing showed a smile on his lips and lowered his voice: "You guys, don't you know that I am talking to you? If you can ride on Brother Han's boat,

"Crossing the sea of ​​literature is a sure thing, so why are you hesitating? Go quickly."

Among them, a disciple from a humble family with spiritual eyes raised his hand in a hurry and shouted: "Senior Brother Han, can I do it?"

Han Rui glanced at the disciple from afar and said, "Okay, you can follow me."

Then, he pointed at one of the disciples in the academy and said: "Zhuo Dong, since you have entered the realm of a gentleman, go and pick a disciple from a poor family with weak cultivation among the crowd to take care of you."

"Me?" Zhuo Dongben stood there in a daze. Hearing Han Rui's words, he pointed at himself with his right hand, and then he picked up the disciple from the poor family closest to him, raised his hand high, and said: "Okay, just

He got it."

"Ah——, thank you very much, Senior Brother Zhuo. I am Lin Pingzhi. Thank you, Senior Brother, for your support." Lin Pingzhi was very excited as he was selected and thanked him repeatedly. The fear in his eyes towards the vast sea of ​​literature suddenly disappeared.

After finishing these words, everyone understood that a gentleman can carry a person across the sea of ​​literature.

At the same time, many people's eyes secretly fell on Tan Jing. You must know that she is also a gentleman.

Seeing this, Tan Jing smiled slightly and walked towards the crowd. Everyone made way for him, wondering which lucky person would be chosen by the concubine.

"Your Majesty, would you like to ride with me?" Tan Jing blinked her right eye, raised her skirt slightly with one hand, and bowed.

The remaining disciples from the poor family sighed, but they were helpless. As Lu Xing's eldest son, it was not surprising that he was favored by Tan Jing.

Lu Xing stayed on the spot, his eyes were dull, and he had no intention of expressing his wishes. His eyes fell on Tan Jing's jade hands, and he sighed in his heart: I really want to--squeeze...

"Bah, bah, bah, the master is a gangster, trying to take advantage of others." Xiao Gu seemed to hear Lu Xing's thoughts, and his voice reached Lu Xing's Niwan Palace through the ties of kendo.

"Go away," Lu Xing cursed in his mind: "I'm just curious about who the gentle jade hand that handed me the note was?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Her black hair fell down to cover some of her cheeks, and Tan Jing secretly moved her hands behind her back, as if to dodge Lu Xing's gaze.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Xing finally said: "Thank you Miss Tan for your kindness, but I still won't cause you any trouble."

With that said, Lu Xing stepped past Tan Jing, ignoring the strange looks from everyone, and walked to a pile of bamboos to start picking out the one that suited him.

"Okay, everyone, get ready to get off." Han Rui said loudly: "Junior sister Tan has just broken through to the gentleman realm, so there is no need to force it."

When the Nanzhu went into the sea, everyone was distributed in a cone shape. Han Rui and his disciples from the poor family stood on the Nanzhu, mobilizing the awe-inspiring energy to adhere to the Nanmu, holding a slender bamboo stick in his hand to stir up the water.

Crossing the river with a reed, supported by the awe-inspiring aura, everyone steadied themselves on the floating sea and headed north together.

Most of the disciples from the humble sect had unstable centers of gravity, and their use of Haoran Qi was relatively rough, so they were slower. However, Lu Xing seemed to be even slower than them, and fell far away.

"Master, you can do it, or can't you?" Xiao Gu sat on Lu Xing's shoulder and said anxiously as he watched the others riding the nanmu farther and farther.

Lu Xing used his sword intention to mobilize Haoran Qi, just like using a small bowl to scoop water from a large vat. It took a lot of time just to fill the nanmu with Haoran Qi. Then using bamboo sticks to stir up the water surface was also a technical job. If

If the Haoran Qi can be firmly attached to the top, it will push the water with great force. However, the Haoran Qi attached to Lu Xingxing's bamboo strips cannot hold on for long and becomes soft as soon as it enters the water.

"This..." Lu Xing glanced at the distance between himself and everyone in embarrassment. He was really far away and could only see small black dots.

"Forget it, I'll help Master." Xiao Gu reached down from Lu Xing's shoulder, grabbed two balls of Haoran Qi and wiped them on the bamboo strips, saying, "Master, try again."

Lu Xing tried his best to stroke, and it really worked. Nanzhu's speed was much faster. He smiled and thought to himself: "Xiao Gu, sit down and rush!"

"Your order! Charge!" Xiao Gu sat back on Lu Xing's shoulders, squinting at the sky, as if observing the rules of the world here.

The speed of the nanmu under Lu Xing's feet increased sharply, and it shot out as quickly as a small boat, with waves arousing at its tail.

It didn't take long for him to catch up with the people in front of him, then slowly slowed down and mingled with a few disciples from poor families.

"Your Majesty, how awesome is he? He can actually drive so fast."

"Your Majesty, can you teach us how to do it faster?"

Several disciples from poor families who were struggling to support themselves said to Lu Xing that the sea of ​​literature was more bumpy than they thought, and the Haoran Qi was being consumed faster than they thought.

Lu Xing had a smile on his face, and was about to give each of them some Haoran Qi so that they could relax, when he suddenly received a message from Han Rui.

"Your Majesty, please don't take sides. The sea of ​​literature is a test for the relics of Wen Dao. If you can simply cross the sea of ​​Wen, then it won't have the effect of training."

Han Rui had been observing Lu Xing from a distance, and just now he wanted to slow down and wait for Lu Xing, but he saw Lu Xing using his sword energy to attach Haoran energy to the bamboo strips, making the bamboo move as fast as a small boat.

"Your Majesty's swordsmanship is really impressive——"

Tan Jing rode the nanmu float to the left. She observed Lu Xing with her peripheral vision, opened her mouth slightly, and murmured: "The sword energy carries the object and lasts for a long time. I still remember that this is the sword spirit of the great master in the book."

ability……"

In a perspective invisible to everyone.

Looking up through the bottom of the water, almost all the bamboos have sporadic light spots. At a depth of thirty feet from the water, many fish are secretly following them along the way.

In the depths of Wenhai, a huge lantern lit up the bottom of the sea. The fish's mouth was covered with teeth as high as a human, and its body was particularly huge. The two huge fish eyes rolled upwards. After seeing countless light spots, it swam.

The speed suddenly increased.

A trace of clouds gathered in the sky, and the mist on the sea increased. Only the blurred figures of the people could be seen from a distance of more than ten feet.

Han Rui frowned, took out the sword from his waist with his right hand, used the sword as a pen, and his aura as ink, and wrote in the air:

"There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and hang sails directly to help the sea."

A figure of a white-clothed swordsman appeared in the sky. The sword tip shattered the golden subtitles. The sword blade swung towards the sky and turned into a boundless rain of swords falling down.

The dark clouds were shattered, and the water mist around everyone was dispersed by the sword energy.

Han Rui shouted loudly: "Look at the people around you clearly and don't fall behind."

Behind the crowd, Lu Xing followed leisurely, chatting with the disciples from the humble family.

"The prince kills Qi Mu, which is really satisfying."

"Qi Mu has been causing trouble for a long time. Your Majesty is here to eliminate the trouble for the people."

"Of course, my eldest son is very clear about rewards and punishments, so I can't compare with the tyrannical Qi Mu!" Lu Xing looked very friendly, which made many disciples from a humble family have a sharp impression of him.

…

"Master," Xiao Gu grabbed Lu Xing's ear and said, "There is something under the water."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment and looked at the water below him. The color of the water was gradually deepening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Be careful! There are schools of flying fish underwater!"

Ahead, Han Rui exclaimed. Hearing this, everyone mobilized their Haoran Qi to form a barrier.

At this moment, Lu Xing was the only one who did not open the Haoran Qi barrier. Countless black shadows gathered towards the water at Lu Xing's feet.
