Duan Chenfeng has been flying on the endless sea for almost a day and still hasn't seen any land. Is there something wrong with his flight route? Now that the energy in his body has been almost exhausted, he can't even see an island on the sea. If he can't land again,
Otherwise, he might fall into the sea and drown due to internal exhaustion.
The wind from the sea blew gently into the air, mixed with a salty smell. The surrounding scenery was strangely similar, and it was difficult to tell the north, south, east, and west. After flying for a while, I vaguely saw a ship coming this way.
Duan Chenfeng was indescribably excited. He used the true energy in his body to control the Ziyun Pendant and quickly approached the ship.
As they got closer, Duan Chenfeng realized that it was a very large merchant ship with countless cargoes stored on it. The people on the deck in groups had confused eyes and felt a little strange in their hearts.
When he got close to the ship, Duan Chenfeng made a reverse movement with his hand, and the Ziyun Pendant instantly disappeared into his body. With the soul-capturing flute in his hand, it landed lightly on the deck without making even a slight sound. Duan Chenfeng
Using the phantom, he came to a corner of the deck in an instant. In the corner was a young man in his twenties, wearing gorgeous clothes, facing the sea. He seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked friendly: "You
good."
The other party heard the unfamiliar voice and looked back in confusion. When he saw Duan Chenfeng next to him, he was startled and said in panic: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Duan Chenfeng said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm just a cultivator living in the sea. The island I lived in suddenly collapsed some time ago, so I escaped, and I happened to meet you."
"Really!" He still had some doubts about Duan Chenfeng's words.
Duan Chenfeng nodded and continued: "My true energy is almost used up, so I need a place to rest to replenish my true energy. I happened to see you, so I came uninvited. I'm sorry if I disturb you."
"Are you really a cultivator?" The other party seemed to be interested in Duan Chenfeng's identity.
"Yes!" Duan Chenfeng knew that there was not a single cultivator on this boat, and he couldn't do it without proving his identity, so he took out the soul-capturing flute and threw it back casually. The soul-capturing flute came out of his hand and changed in various ways in the air.
Then he stretched out his hand, and the soul-capturing flute returned to his hand. Then he said: "How about it, now you have no doubt about my identity!"
The other party nodded and said with some joy: "Hello, Mr. Cultivator, my name is Wang Li, everyone calls me Ali." After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and said loudly in the direction of the middle of the deck: "Brother
, come quickly, we are saved."
After a while, another young man ran up not far away. He looked a few years older than Wang Li. He was also wearing gorgeous clothes. After seeing Duan Chenfeng, he asked Wang Li: "What's wrong, Ali? He
who is it."
Wang Li told Duan Chenfeng what happened, and said to Duan Chenfeng: "Mr. Cultivator, this is my brother Wang Qiang."
Wang Qiang also smiled friendly at Duan Chenfeng, and then said: "Hello, Mr. Cultivator."
When they called me like this, Duan Chenfeng felt a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Don't call me Mr. Cultivator. My name is Duan Chenfeng. From now on, just call me by my name or Chenfeng."
Wang Qiang said happily: "That's it! How about I call you little brother?"
Duan Chenfeng felt that this made him feel a lot more friendly, and he smiled and said, "Okay! Brother Wang Qiangqiang."
Wang Qiang said: "Let's go, let me take you to meet the other people on the ship first!"
"Okay!" Duan Chenfeng nodded and asked Wang Qiang to walk towards the middle of the deck. When Wang Li called him just now, there were already a lot of people on the deck. Duan Chenfeng counted them, and there were about ten or so people.
There was a warning expression on his face.
After the introduction of the two brothers Wang Qiang, Duan Chenfeng knew that this was a merchant ship. The ship belonged to the two brothers' family, and the other people were hired workers and servants to help transport the goods. The Wang Qiang brothers were from Tianyu City.
, they were going to transport some cultivators' magic weapons to Tianmeng City in the north. Since the cost of sea transport was relatively low, they chose sea transport. Who knew they encountered bandits on the road, so they started to escape and escaped all the way here. Fortunately, this
The robbers didn't chase them for a few days, otherwise they really didn't know what to do. Although the robbers didn't chase them, they didn't dare to go back, and the cultivator who protected them couldn't be contacted, so they could only wander on the sea. They all
Knowing how cruel the robbers are, if you fall into their hands, your body will be completely destroyed.
Wang Qiang looked at Duan Chenfeng at this time, as if seeing hope, and said: "Brother Chenfeng, you must save us!" The servants and hired workers next to him also said in unison.
Duan Chenfeng was kind-hearted, so how could he refuse? So he said: "Don't worry, I will try my best! If the other party has a master of cultivation, there is nothing I can do."
Wang Li then continued: "Don't worry, there won't be any masters of cultivation among the robbers. Think about it! If they are really masters of cultivation, who would want to be a robber?"
Duan Chenfeng was right when he thought about it. Suddenly he thought of something and asked: "What year is it now?"
Everyone knows that Duan Chenfeng is a cultivator who is in seclusion. They still have a certain understanding of cultivators. After all, cultivators are regarded as god-like existences in this world. It is normal for cultivators to be in seclusion for ten or twenty years. Duan
After hearing Chenfeng's words, none of them smiled. Instead, they felt that cultivators were really mysterious and powerful.
Wang Qiang replied: "It is August 1257."
I didn’t expect that it had been five years since I left. No wonder I had grown so tall. It turned out that five years had passed unknowingly. How is Wan Qing now? She has grown into a big girl! She no longer pesters her to play around all day long.
Come on! For a moment, Duan Chenfeng was filled with emotions, yes! It’s time to go back and see Wan Qing. If she knew that she was not dead, I don’t know how happy she would be!
"What's wrong, Chenfeng?" Wang Li couldn't help but said when he saw Duan Chenfeng standing there stunned.
Duan Chenfeng recovered from his thoughts and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I lost my temper. I just thought of many things from the past at the same time."
"It's okay." Wang Qiang also smiled. They were in a very good mood today and said, "Little brother, I will prepare a room for you. After your skills recover, we will go back and teach those bandits a lesson. Ali, you go and prepare."
dinner."
Ali said, "Okay, I'll go." Then he went to prepare a bowl of food.
Why doesn't Duan Chenfeng want to go back quickly at this time? Go back and see his naughty and cute sister Wan Qing. Is the close relationship between them really just a brother and sister? He always feels that Wan Qing is the most special in her heart
There is a strange feeling in existence. Thinking of this, his hand inadvertently touched the Qingguang Ring, and a white handkerchief appeared in his hand.
Wang Qiang, who was walking in the cabin, saw a handkerchief suddenly appear in Duan Chenfeng's hand and said with a smile: "This must be a gift from your beloved!"
After Duan Chenfeng heard this, he thought of Wan Qing's dressing of his wound. His face turned slightly red and he said nothing.
When Wang Qiang saw that Duan Chenfeng didn't speak, he thought he acquiesced, and continued: "You must have been separated for many years. It seems that you are not very old. Since you have kept that girl's things, it means that she must have something unique in your heart.
status, why don’t you find time to go see her! Then explain it clearly to him.”
Duan Chenfeng heard this and murmured: "Yes! It's time to find time to talk to her." For a time, infinite longing filled his heart.
Wang Qiang took him to a room, gave him a few brief explanations, and left. Duan Chenfeng looked at the handkerchief, smiled slightly, and then put it into the Qingguang Ring. He sat on the bed and began to practice, quickly adjusting into concentration.
In this state, he is still running the fused true energy in his body according to the previous cultivation method. The two cultivation methods taught to him by his father and Daode Tianjun are roughly the same, except that the Tao method of cultivation is about control. As long as the true power is
The circulation of Yuanli in the body can replenish the lost internal force. The practice of magic requires control. As long as there is still a trace of magic in the body, it can slowly condense on the original magic and increase the internal force. Duan Chen
Feng successfully merged the two Tao methods, and the control force and the control volume worked together. This time, based on the experience last time, the recovery speed was even faster than the last time. It didn't take long for the true energy to be recovered.
His inner strength had replenished the original six levels. He thought that as long as he practiced for a while, his inner strength would be fully replenished.
It happened that at this time, Wang Qiang asked him to go out on the deck to have dinner, so Duan Chenfeng stopped practicing, came to the deck, and simply relaxed. Suddenly, he felt a subtle energy fluctuation in the air around him,
He disappeared in an instant, and I was a little surprised. Could it be that there were cultivators on this ship, but when I came, I didn't feel that there were people from the cultivating world among them? Could it be that his Taoism was much higher than mine, and I couldn't find it out.
Just when he was wondering, dinner started. Duan Chenfeng thought of what had just happened and asked Wang Qiang: "Are everyone on the boat here?"
Although Wang Qiang didn't understand why Duan Chenfeng asked, he thought Duan Chenfeng must have a reason for asking, so he said: "There is also a chef in the cabin."
"Well! You eat first, I'll go to the kitchen." Duan Chenfeng said to Xiang Qiang.
"What else do you need? I'll ask someone to prepare it for you." Wang Qiang said.
Duan Chenfeng smiled and said: "No need." Phantom Mirage was used again. The next moment, he had come to the door of the kitchen. At this time, he found that the chef seemed to be hiding something in his body, but he was very fast, and Duan
Chenfeng didn't see clearly what it was, but he also had doubts in his heart.
The chef was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a very ordinary appearance. He was the kind of person who would be forgotten at the first sight. Seeing Duan Chenfeng suddenly appear, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Duan, do you need anything?" He spoke.
Duan Chenfeng was a little nervous when he was doing this. As a result, Duan Chenfeng became even more suspicious.
"It's okay, I asked you to go to dinner together." Duan Chenfeng pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile.
After hearing what Duan Chenfeng said, the other party was obviously relieved and said, "Okay, you go first, and I'll come."
Duan Chenfeng asked: "What else is there to be busy with?"
The chef thought for a moment and replied: "No more."
"Then let's go out together!" Duan Chenfeng looked at the chef, trying to see something in his eyes. Unfortunately, except for the slight panic before, Duan Chenfeng's expression really looked like nothing was wrong now.
"Okay!" The chef followed Duan Chenfeng to the deck.
Wang Qiang was very confused about what Duan Chenfeng did. He didn't eat when he was eating, so why did he find a chef? Could it be that these meals were not to his taste. Just when he was thinking about it, Duan Chenfeng and the chef appeared in front of him, busy
He stood up and said: "Little brother, the food is getting cold, let's eat quickly!"
Duan Chenfeng returned to his seat and prepared to eat. Wang Qiang and Wang Li hurriedly poured twice as much wine and said, "Come on, little brother, we two brothers will toast you."
Duan Chenfeng smiled, shook his head and said: "Brother Wang Qiang, Ali, I'm really sorry, I don't drink."
"How can that be done? How can a man not know how to drink?" Ali said loudly at this time.
Wang Qiang also echoed, saying: "Yes! Little brother, just drink some!"
Duan Chenfeng inadvertently glanced at the chef next to him out of the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he was not looking at him and was concentrating on eating with his head down, but the other people were looking at him, he felt even more strange, so he smiled and said: "Okay,
I drink."
Duan Chenfeng stood up as he spoke, picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. A burning sensation spread from his throat to his whole body. After drinking, he saw the chef raising his head and looking at him, with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Duan Chenfeng also smiled slightly at the chef. When the chef saw Duan Chenfeng looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and continued eating. The strange thing was that he didn't drink.
"Okay." At this time, Ali filled Duan Chenfeng's cup again and said happily: "Come on, Chenfeng, have another drink."
Duan Chenfeng did not refuse this time: "Okay, drink." He said and drank again. When he drank a glass, Duan Chenfeng felt that there was a faint fragrance in the wine, which was impossible to detect without paying attention. This time,
He deliberately let the wine stay in his mouth and tasted it slowly. The more he tasted, the more he felt something was wrong. After the wine he drank entered his body, suddenly, as if he was looking for something, it dispersed towards his four meridians and eight meridians.
Then the true energy in his body was actually out of his control, and slowly drained away, becoming less and less.
At this time, the sound of a ship suddenly appeared in the surroundings. It was very weak, as if it was rushing here. Wang Qiang looked at the dark sea and asked doubtfully: "What's going on? Why is there the sound of a ship?"
A servant who looked like a sailor was lying on the deck nearby, listening. After a while, he stood up, with a look of panic on his face, and said: "Master, it sounds like there are many robbers' boats coming towards us.
The hungry direction is coming."
"What's going on? Why do the robbers know we are here?" His face showed anger and confusion.
Duan Chenfeng had a painful expression on his face and said word by word: "Because there is a traitor on the ship." After saying that, he fell down. Wang Li, who had quick eyes and quick hands next to him, hurriedly supported him and shouted worriedly: "Chenfeng,...
What’s wrong with you."
Wang Qiang also looked nervous and said, "Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Because he was poisoned." The chef said something surprising when people were confused.
Wang Li raised his head, looked at the chef, and asked, "A Dong, how do you know?"
Wang Qiang was obviously much smarter than Wang Li. Looking at the fallen Duan Chenfeng, he said with some guilt: "He was the one who did it." He pointed at Adong.
"Haha!" Adong smiled with satisfaction: "People say that the eldest son of the Wang family is very good at doing business. I didn't expect him to be so smart. Yes, it was me who poisoned him. He was poisoned by the most strange poison in the world of cultivation——
Liuxiangsan. Also, my name is not Adong, my real name is Zhang Dongliang, I am a member of the bandits, and I came to you just for this ship's magic weapon." He pointed to some goods piled on the deck.
"Liu Xiang Powder?" After Wang Li heard this, he asked unclearly, "What is Liu Xiang Powder?"
Wang Qiang replied desperately: "It is a colorless and odorless liquid that slowly drains away the true energy."
"Yes, if he doesn't get the antidote before the true energy disappears in his body, he will become a useless person." Zhang Dongliang burst out laughing when he said this.
"Zhang Dongliang, I will fight with you." After Wang Li heard this, he ran to him angrily and was about to take action, but when he stretched his hand in the air, he realized that he couldn't use any strength at all. He wondered: "What's going on? Why am I
Can’t you use your own strength?”
Zhang Dongliang opened Wang Li's hand that was still in the air and said contemptuously: "Because you are also poisoned. Others know that Liuxiangsan is used to deal with cultivators, but they don't know that Liuxiangsan is also useful for ordinary people. They
It will make you lose all the power in your body in a short period of time. Because the price of Liuxiangsan is too high, no one will use them against you ordinary people. If this kid hadn't suddenly appeared today, I wouldn't have used this thing."
Wang Qiang just wanted to save Duan Chenfeng at this time, so he said: "How can you teach me the antidote? I know you want this boatload of things. We will give it to you. Please let this brother go. He is innocent."
.”
Zhang Dongliang shook his head and said calmly: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with us now."
At this time, Wang Li already understood part of the story, but there were still many things he didn't understand. He asked, "I don't understand. You could kill us easily before, why did you wait until now?"
Zhang Dongliang smiled and said: "Your ship's magic weapon is secretly protected by so many cultivation masters. What a joke if we do it."
"So you forced us into uninhabited waters and then killed us, so that the world would not suspect that it was you who did it. They would think that our ship encountered wind and waves at sea and sank to the bottom of the sea." Wang Qiang analyzed.
said.
"Yes, you are very smart, but you still have to die." Having said this, Zhang Dongliang looked at the little lights in the sea under the night and the several robber ships that were about to approach, and smiled happily: "Let you live for a while.
, after the bandit brothers arrive and we have finished moving our things, since we live together for such a long time, I will give you a ride."
