In the blink of an eye, several months passed in a flash. Basically, every month, Tangning would take the initiative to find Qi Mingxu to inquire about the situation.

Every time Qi Mingxu asked him to wait patiently.

In this way, after more than four months, Tangning suspected that she was fooling herself.

One day, there was a knock on the door outside, and he opened the door to see Qi Mingyun standing outside the door with a smile all over his face: "Junior Brother Tang, you can leave now."

"Are there any merchant ships out to sea?" Tangning asked hastily.

Qi Mingyun nodded slightly, and the two of them left the inn immediately, and came to the backyard of Wutong Pavilion of Taixuan Zong. In the spacious and bright hall, there sat a middle-aged man with a square face and a middle-stage Nascent Soul.

"Junior Brother Tang, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Song Xian. The Song family is a rich family in the county. Their fleet will soon go to sea. You can take their fleet. Fellow Daoist Song, this is the one I mentioned to you. This sect is Junior Brother Tangning." Qi Mingyun introduced from the side.

Song Xian nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Tang, fellow Daoist Qi has told me about your situation just now. I think it's better to talk about some things in advance, so as to avoid disputes."

"All ears are here."

"First of all, we are not merchant ships for transportation. The Nether Sea has a vast territory, and there are many kinds of monsters multiplying in it. Due to the existence of the Nether Sea organization, it occupies the islands on it, and it is expressly forbidden to hunt monsters in the sea, so those who use this The fishing teams that make a living can only operate in the waters secretly." Song Xian said: "We specialize in transporting those hunting fleets and sending them to designated locations."

"The Song family's small family is inevitably targeted and attacked by the Nether Sea organization. Every time we go out, we will change to the banner of the noble sect. Since you are recommended by fellow Daoist Qi, of course I can trust you."

"It just so happens that there is a hunting and fishing team on our boat. We want to hunt in the waters near Zili Island. We can release you there, and then you can go to Zili Island by yourself. As for the cost? Because we are smuggling, the risk is relatively high. , is slightly more expensive than ordinary merchant ships, and requires ten million spirit stones, what do you think?"

"No problem." Tangning found the storage bag in her hand, took out [-] million Lingshi and handed it to him, "When can we set off?"

"Don't worry." Song Xian took the storage bag: "I want to introduce you to the fishing team hunting in the waters near Zili Island. When the time comes, you will get on and off the boat with them. Let's go! I'll take you there Meet them."

"it is good."

"Fellow Daoist Qi, let's take our leave first."

The two left the Wutong Pavilion, escaped all the way, left the pier, and came to a remote place in a barren mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there was a room, two people escaped from the light, and the door of the room opened, and several men and women came out of it, the leader was a tall man with a late Nascent Soul cultivator, and the people behind him were also Nascent Soul cultivators .

"Fellow Daoist Song, why are you here? I don't know why?" the leading man glanced at Tangning and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, there is a small matter that needs your help, so I'm here to bother you."

"Please come in." Several people entered the room and took their seats.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, let me introduce you. This is Tang Ning, Daoist Fellow of Emperor Taixuanzong. This time he is also going to Zili Island, and he happens to be on the same journey as you, so I brought him here. I hope you can take him to sea with you. Song Xian introduced: "Fellow Daoist Tang, this is Fellow Daoist Wen Qingyun, and these are members of his fleet. You Wen's fleet is also well-known at this pier."

When several people heard this, they all frowned slightly. Wen Qingyun said, "What does Fellow Daoist Song mean, that fellow Daoist Tang wants to go out to sea with us to hunt in the waters near Zili Island?"

"No, no, Fellow Daoist Tang is just on the way with you. He has other important things to go to Zili Island. When he boards the ship, he will say that Fellow Daoist Tang belongs to your fleet. I hope Fellow Daoist can help. These three million souls Shi is Song's wish, so treat it as fellow Daoist Tang's boat ticket." Song Xian took out a storage bag and handed it to him.

"Song Daoyou is too polite. Why should you be so trivial? If Tang Daoyou is just passing by, it is of course no problem to go with us."

"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Tang, you discuss the details, and I won't bother you. Let me leave." Song Xian said, got up and left.

Tang Ning has now roughly understood the way this is going on. The Song family is a powerful man in Ziju County. Smuggling and smuggling hunting and fishing boats is one of the properties under his family. The fishing boats sent to the designated location, after these fleets hunted the monsters, they were responsible for transporting them back, and bought the monsters they hunted by the way.

Not only to earn transportation costs, but also to share the corresponding profits from hunting monsters.

And these hunting fleets also need the protection of the Song family. Without them, it is impossible for these stragglers to reach such a distant sea area to hunt monsters and beasts, and they are very likely to be discovered by the Nether Sea organization during the journey.

The two sides are mutually beneficial. For the Song family, although this matter has certain risks, basically the risks are borne by these casual repair fleets. If they catch monsters, they will buy monsters at a lower than market price and share the profits. .

If the casual repair fleet had an accident during the hunting process, or encountered a powerful monster and unfortunately died, or was discovered by the Nether Sea Organization and was attacked, it had nothing to do with them. They had already earned the round-trip travel expenses.

No matter how they are calculated, they are the biggest winners. For the sake of safety, the Song family even put the name of Taixuanzong on the transportation. Presumably Taixuanzong's column stationed in this county should also share some profits, otherwise the Song family would not dare So grandiosely doing this business in the name of Taixuanzong.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, I don't know why you went to Zili Island?" Wen Qingyun asked after Song Xian left.

"I have some personal matters to deal with, friend Daoist, when will your fleet depart?"

"In half a month, the Song family merchant ship will transport us to the waters of Zili Island."

"So when will your fleet return?"

"Generally we will wander around this sea area for a year and then return on its merchant ship."

"It's like this. At that time, I may need to return with you. How should I contact you then?"

"Fellow Daoist Tang is busy with the work at hand, just go back to where we got off the ship and wait. A year later, the Song family's merchant ship will come back to pick us up."

The two chatted for a while, and Wen Qingyun introduced several other members of the fleet to him. They exchanged polite greetings, and each of them settled down to practice qi refining.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and at Wuyue Wharf, in the huge parking area for vehicles and ships, ships of different sizes landed in a clear-cut frame.

In the cabin of the Xuanling ship, Wen Qingyun entered from the outside, and said a word of departure. Soon, the hull made a roaring sound, the light flowed, and slowly rose into the sky, and came to a huge sky spirit ship. Under the command of the monk above, the mysterious spirit ship landed steadily on the deck of the heavenly spirit ship.

Several people walked out of the cabin, and a man with big ears came to meet him, holding a file in his hand, and glanced at everyone: "Fellow Daoist, you are going to Zili Island this time, there are six people in total, right? "

"good."

"There is no one else!"

"No, Fellow Daoist Xin can check inside the ship."

"Forget it, can I still not trust you?"

Wen Qingyun flipped through his hands and handed him two storage bags.

The man took the storage bag and inspected it, then handed him a number plate: "I wish you all the best in your journey."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xin."

Tangning turned her eyes and saw that there were several mysterious spirit ships parked on the deck at this moment, occupying almost half of the entire deck.

The words of the seventh column of Taixuanzong's sixth army were flying on the flag at the bow, and the logo of Taixuanzong was also engraved on the hull, and the words "Thunder" were written on the flag at the stern.

As time went by, some mysterious spirit ships boarded the "Thunder" one after another. At around midnight, the deck of the "Thunder" was already crowded with hulls of various sizes, about thirty or forty ships. as much.

Finally, there was a loud bang, and the "Thunder" battled with light all around, and slowly soared into the sky. After using the light curtain, it soared straight up into the clouds and galloped away towards the south.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, when your fleet went out to hunt monsters, did you encounter obstacles from the Nether Sea?" Inside the Xuanling Ship, Tangning came to Wen Qingyun's room, and the two sat opposite each other, chatting.

"I once encountered a patrol ship in the Nether Sea, but luckily we escaped."

"If they find out, what kind of punishment will there be?"

"If you submit obediently and don't resist, generally your life will not be in danger, but your gains from hunting monsters will be confiscated, and then you will be imprisoned, ranging from ten to twenty years to fifty or sixty years. let you go."

"One thing is strange to me. Logically speaking, it is difficult to guarantee the secrecy of such a large-scale operation as yours, and the intelligence network established by the Nether Sea Organization is very large. It should not be too difficult for them to know your foothold. , but they have not severely suppressed you, do you think they are intentionally letting you hunt monsters in the sea?"

Wen Qingyun smiled: "Fellow Daoist Tang seems to be very concerned about their movements!"

"I'm just a little curious. To be honest, I had contact with them a few times when I was in Donglai County. I had some dealings with them. I know that they have strict internal rules and regulations. They have explicitly prohibited outsiders from hunting monsters in the Nether Sea. , Turning a blind eye to your actions, it really puzzles me. In my impression, once they give an order, they will strictly implement it. How can they adopt such an attitude of tacit approval towards you. "

Wen Qingyun said: "I can't answer this question for you. After all, I'm not a member of them. But as far as I know, the Nether Sea Organization is quite tolerant of casual cultivators hunting monsters in the sea. They just don't allow those Organized forces, such as Xuanmen, aristocratic families, and chambers of commerce have hunted in the sea on a large scale. As for the reasons for this, I think there are several aspects."

"First, they are more tolerant and friendly to casual cultivators, and relatively hostile to Taoism, aristocratic families, and chambers of commerce."

"Secondly, the fleet of solitary repair organizations like ours has a limited number of monsters that can be hunted down, not even a drop in the bucket, so they don't bother to spend time and energy on special management, only occasionally Send a patrol boat to walk around and make a show."

"Thirdly, it is not easy for them to fully control a sea area as large as the Nether Sea. If it is to prevent a few small-scale fleets from hunting, it is not cost-effective to send many people and ships to patrol day and night. .”

Tangning nodded, as if she agreed with his statement, "Then how did you deal with the monsters you hunted?"

"Just sell it directly to the Song family. They have a special person in charge of this matter. When the "Thunder" sends us back, it will directly take us to the monster processing station, where the price will be settled."

"Fellow Daoist Wen, what if I miss the return merchant ship due to business delays, what should I do then?"

"Then you can only try your luck. Wait another year. If you find fishing boats hunting nearby, discuss with them and come back together."
