The ship looks ordinary from the outside, but the cabin is quite spacious.
The people on the boat were very respectful to Eulji Yuanban. When they saw Qin Xiao, they were all a little excited. Apparently they all thought that Eulji Yuanpan was done. However, there was an old monk there, which made everyone a little confused. I don’t know the old monk in black.
What a sacred place it is.
There were about ten people waiting on the ship. In addition to the sailors, there were also several handymen who were responsible for the food and daily life on the ship.
Before dark, Eulji Wonban gave the order to set sail.
By the time we reached the sea, the sky had completely darkened.
Qin Xiao was a little worried. When it got dark, his vision was blurred and it was difficult to see the sea clearly. He really didn't know if these people could see the route clearly.
But when I thought about it more carefully, since Eulji Wonban dared to let everyone set sail overnight, he should have great trust in the skills of the sailors. If the ship really ran into trouble, he would not be the only one to be unlucky, so he felt a little relieved.
The medicinal properties of his body have disappeared, and his internal energy can operate freely. After all, the old monk in black has been with him all the way, and Yanyan has no chance to use medicine on herself again.
But even so, he knew that he must not act rashly.
When they first set sail, Yanyan kept staring at her, but after a few hours, Yanyan no longer worried and entered a small compartment in the cabin on her own.
Qin Xiao knew clearly that on the sea, it would be difficult to fly unless he had wings.
At this time, there were no other ships on the sea, the vast sea was boundless, and in the cold winter, although there was no ice on the sea, the sea water was bitingly cold.
If you are cold and hungry, even if you are in the Zhongtian realm, you will definitely not survive for three days.
Eulji Wonban didn't know whether he was jealous of the old monk in black or for other reasons. After boarding the ship, he was very polite and had someone prepare a meal and deliver it to him personally.
As for Qin Xiao, Eulji Yuanpan did not neglect and sent him wine and food.
Qin Xiao felt a little strange. That night in the forest, the old monk in black knocked Eulji Yuanpan away. Although the injury was not serious, Eulji Yuanpan still suffered some internal injuries. After all, his face had not been very good these past two days.
, it seems that I have not fully recovered after two days.
Moreover, the old monk in black came to rob him, so he was naturally the enemy of Eulji Yuanpan. Eulji Yuanpan was so enthusiastic that Qin Xiao always felt that something was wrong.
After all, in his opinion, Eulji Wonban is really not a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
The person who dared to kidnap the Tang Dynasty general and plot to assassinate Bohai Molizhi was certainly not a good person.
The cabin is divided into front and rear cabins. There is a simple partition on the left and right corners of the rear cabin. The front cabin is spacious, with a desk and a blanket on the floor. Once the door is closed, it is not cold inside.
The rest of the people on the ship lived in the bottom cabin, and the sailors took turns steering the ship forward without disturbing the cabin.
The cooking on the ship was done in the bottom cabin. Yanyan stayed in the compartment all the time and rarely came out. Eulji Wonban only came over when delivering meals and rarely saw him in the cabin.
Qin Xiao was not worried about the poisonous food. Seeing that the old monk in black was eating it as usual, he was not polite.
"Master, do you want to play chess?" Qin Xiao was bored and lazy after a day on the boat. When he saw the old monk in black still sitting cross-legged in the cabin, and there happened to be a pair of Go in the cabin, he couldn't help but ask.
The old monk in black finally opened his eyes and saw that Qin Xiao had placed the chessboard on the table, holding the chess box in his left hand and playing chess with himself with his right hand.
Suddenly, he saw a look of surprise in the eyes of the old monk in black, staring at Qin Xiao's right hand.
Qin Xiao didn't pay attention. When he saw that the old monk in black didn't reply, he couldn't help but raised his head and saw a pair of eyes of the old monk in black staring at him. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Master must know how to play chess. I have no time to spare."
It’s okay, how about we play the next game?”
"I heard that you were born in Xiling?" The old monk in black lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Who are your parents?"
Qin Xiao was startled. He didn't expect the old monk in black to suddenly ask about his life experience. He thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"have no idea!"
"If I say that I am an orphan, will Master believe me?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I have never met my parents."
"Then who raised you?"
"Of course it's my adoptive father and adoptive mother." Qin Xiao said, although he didn't know why the old monk suddenly became interested in his life experience, but of course it was impossible to tell the truth. Naturally, the existence of Old Man Zhong would not be told to the old monk in black.
"Who are they?" The old monk in black asked. He was a monk with a calm mind and had always been motionless, but at this moment, there was a strange color in his eyes.
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Even if I tell them their names, Master won't recognize them. They are just ordinary country people, just two of the most ordinary people among the tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. Master, why do you suddenly pay attention to me?"
Are you so interested in your life experience?"
The old monk in black just stared at Qin Xiao without saying anything.
Qin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him. He raised his right hand, shook the chess piece in his hand, and asked: "Master, do you want to play a game?"
"As far as the old monk knows, you were once a jailer in Turtle City." The old monk in black said slowly: "Later, you were involved in the family dispute in Xiling and were accepted by Heiyu as his subordinate. Heiyu died in Li Tuo
With the hands of the Fan family, the entire Xiling fell. You ran from Xiling to the capital to report the news, but you were appreciated by the emperor and promoted to a noble rank." After a pause, he continued: "The Prince of Bohai, Yuan Gai Wushuang, set up a ring in Kyoto. He is
The fifth-level cultivation level was killed by your sword, and your cultivation level has also entered the Zhongtian realm. The old monk is not wrong."
Qin Xiao is not surprised that the old monk in black is so clear about his past. After all, he put down the Jiangnan Rebellion, killed Yuan Gai Wushuang, and led the commander Long Ruijun out of seclusion. Each of these things has made him famous, both in the government and in the public.
Everyone knew that he was a favorite of the emperor, so naturally many people investigated his past.
Very few people in the world know about what happened to me before I became the jailer of Turtle City, but my whereabouts after I became the jailer of the Turtle City Duwei Mansion are easy to find out as long as I am willing.
"The master knows me well, but I know nothing about the master." Qin Xiao stared at the old monk in black and said: "What is the name of the master? Who do you want to take me to? I wonder if the master can give me some advice?"
The old monk in black did not answer, but asked: "When you entered the capital, you were just a jailer, but later you were able to join the Ministry of War as an errand, and within a very short period of time, you were promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
This speed of promotion has been extremely rare since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. You don’t have a deep background behind you. Before entering Beijing, you had no connection with the Xiahou family and had no relationship with the palace. Why did you get the emperor’s favor?
Favored? Can General Qin tell the old monk?"
Qin Xiao thought that the information the old monk had was not accurate. Before he came to Beijing, he had indeed no relationship with the palace, but it would be wrong to say that he had no relationship with the Xiahou family.
He helped Xiahou Qingcheng to rescue Xiahou Qingcheng in Turtle City. After entering the capital, he was retained by the Ministry of War precisely because Xiahou Qingcheng spoke up for him.
Although I have never seen Xiahou Qingcheng in Kyoto since we left Turtle City, my relationship with Xiahou's family is not that shallow.
"If I say that I don't know why the saint treats him so favorably, do you believe me?" Qin Xiao sighed deliberately, thinking that he was regarded by the saint as the Seven Kills Auxiliary Star. Of course, he couldn't tell the old monk who he was.
I have no idea of the origin. If he were an enemy of the imperial court or the Xiahou family and knew that his fate was favorable to the saint, he would probably not let himself live.
The old monk in black pondered for a moment and finally said: "Take off your pants!"
Qin Xiao was startled, thinking that he heard wrongly, and couldn't help but ask: "What did you say?"
"Take off your pants." The old monk in black said.
Qin Xiao was sitting on the board of the boat. When he heard this, he couldn't help but shrink back and looked around. Of course there was no one else in the cabin. He said warily: "Master, don't make such a joke. In the clear sky and white sun,
You asked me to take off my pants, you... what do you want to do?" As soon as I said this, I felt something was wrong. Even in the middle of the night, I would never take off my pants in front of an old monk.
"Do you want the old monk to help you?" The old monk in black said calmly.
Qin Xiao cursed in his heart, secretly thinking that the old bald donkey actually had that kind of weird hobby?
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
He got up, turned around and was about to run out of the cabin, but after only taking two steps, he felt something hit his knee. He turned and fell to his knees. Then he felt a strong wind behind him. Qin Xiao
Although he knew that he was no match for the old monk, he was not a coward either. At the critical moment, he couldn't help but turn around and point his finger. His inner power burst out. This finger turned out to be the True Sword of the True Heart taught by his cheap master Shen Yaoshi. Qin
Xiao Yidu thought it was just acupuncture skills, but he learned from Yaoshi Shen in Hangzhou that this skill was actually the extremely advanced inner sword skill of Jian Valley.
Ever since he knew that this kung fu was a unique skill from Jiangu, he had practiced it countless times, hoping to make a breakthrough.
Of the three great inner sword skills of Sword Valley, only Shen Yaoshi's True Sword of True Heart and Young Master's True Sword of Ze Bing have been passed down. The True Sword of Ze Bing needs to be struck out with liquid. After seeping into the opponent's body, it will make the opponent's life worse than death. And the True Sword of Ze Bing
The real sword turns the inner force into sword energy. Once it is cultivated, the sword energy is much sharper than the real sword.
It's just that after I learned this unique skill from Supervisor A, except for one time of sword energy in Duankong Castle in desperation, there was never a second time.
When this matter was urgent, he pointed back and stabbed. He practiced the True Sword of Red Heart hundreds of times, and the energy came with the thought. Every time he practiced before, the energy would disappear when it reached the arm, and it was impossible to penetrate the fingers. But this time
In a hurry, the energy flowed extremely smoothly into the Shaoshang point on the right index finger, and with a "pop" sound, a sword energy burst out of the finger.
The old monk in black had already floated up from behind. He never expected that Qin Xiao could actually use the internal sword. When the sword energy came towards him, his face changed slightly. His figure flashed slightly between the lightning and flint, but the sword energy still hit him.
Although his skin and flesh were intact on the sleeves of his running robe, the sword energy had punched a hole in the sleeves.
Qin Xiao didn't expect that his finger would actually produce sword energy. He was stunned for a moment. The old monk in black was also startled. He raised his arm and saw the holes on the sleeves of his robe. He looked surprised and couldn't help but said: "Sword
