Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 104: Before winning or losing, the anger surges, and the game is the great power of Luo

"Knock knock."

Sailing on the sea can sometimes make time blurry.

Xu Heng has not shown up since he got on the boat. He focused on refining his robes. Several days passed by unknowingly until someone knocked on the door.

He slowly opened his eyes, exhaled, stood up, and opened the door with a thought.

It turned out to be He Chengfeng who knocked on the door. He waited outside until the door opened and Xu Heng walked out slowly. Then he said, "Master Xu, we are about to change to a sea boat. Please follow me."

"So that's how it is. Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist." Xu Heng nodded and followed He Chengfeng onto the deck. He found that there were already quite a few people there, each looking at the front of the fleet.

Xu Heng also looked there and saw an island approaching in front of him at a very fast speed, and behind the island, a shadow was faintly showing up.

"Yunhu Sea Boat?" Xu Heng's heart moved. He had already guessed the origin of the shadow. Sure enough, as the fleet passed the island, a huge creature suddenly revealed its true form.

"...Oh!" On the merchant ship, those who saw it for the first time exclaimed in surprise. Even Xu Heng couldn't help but reveal admiration in his eyes.

What does a large ship that is eight hundred and forty feet long and more than five or six hundred feet wide look like?
No matter who looks at it, it would be difficult to think of this thing as a ship. It is more like a floating land than a ship. The buildings on it are more like a city than a ship's tower. The hull floating dozens of feet high on the sea is like a continuous city wall... The whole ship is parked there quietly, and it is even more majestic than the island next to it.

At this time, there were ships anchored ahead. The planks hanging from the ships were like steps to climb a mountain. Coupled with the tiny figures starting to climb up on the ships, there was an extreme contrast.

“No matter how many times I see Haizhou, I always feel insignificant.”

He Chengfeng sighed like this, but Xu Heng did not respond. He felt a little puzzled, paused, and had to change the subject and said: "The guards need to board the ship first. I see that the goods are shipped to the ship, so I can only trouble you, Taoist priest, to board the ship with me as a show."

"It should be so." He Shanhai had also mentioned this matter before, and Xu Heng naturally agreed.

Soon, several merchant ships of the He family were approaching. The ship lowered its planks, but He Chengfeng did not leave. Instead, he flew up. Several guards on the ship also separated and flew after him toward the ship.

Seeing this, Xu Heng gently tossed the hem of his robe, and a breeze swirled under his feet, carrying his body into the air. He looked as graceful as a startled swan and as light as a feather, yet incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye he was already on the boat.

At this time, He Chengfeng also landed on the deck. Seeing him flying down leisurely with fluttering sleeves, he was stunned for a moment, then he said: "The Taoist master's escape technique is very exquisite."

Xu Heng just smiled slightly and stood beside him. Seeing this, He Chengfeng said no more and turned his attention to the goods being transported.

The goods were of various sizes, with whole boxes of spiritual materials and herbs, and also stored items sealed with restrictions. It was impossible to tell what treasures were inside. The people from He's Treasure Shop were busy transporting them for a full half an hour before they were ready.

Only then did the passengers get on board. This had nothing to do with the guards, as the stewards on the ship would make arrangements. He Chengfeng called a few of his men to look after things, and then took Xu Heng to find He Chengluan.

He Chengluan was on the bow, talking to a man who looked like a manager. After a while, he turned around, got off the bow and said, "The old rules, except for the full-day guard every eight days, you only need to patrol occasionally."

He Chengfeng did not respond, obviously he had expected this. He Chengluan turned the conversation around and said to Xu Heng, "Master Xu only needs to show up during the day's duty. I won't bother you with the rest of the inspections."

"Oh?" Xu Heng said, "That couldn't be better. I would like to thank you, Commander."

"The Taoist priest is a distinguished guest. If we were not afraid of gossip, how could we ask him to do such rough work?" He Chengluan smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Xu Heng before letting He Chengfeng take Xu Heng to rest.

The guards' rooms are all arranged in one place, which are actually very spacious and have all the necessary furnishings, but they are not as spacious as those for passengers. There are also upper rooms, elegant rooms, and even independent attics to choose from.

Xu Heng didn't care about these things. He went to his room, closed the doors and windows as usual, and then sat down cross-legged on the bed.

To comprehend the Dao, to concentrate the strength, to refine the Dharma, cultivation sometimes involves these minute details. These past few days he had been busy refining his robes, and he had been a little slack in his studies. Now that he was on the Yunhu sea boat, with a journey of nearly three months to go, it was time to speed up his cultivation.

Xu Heng spread out his sleeves, and a small furnace and a pill bottle appeared in his palm.

This small furnace has a name, called Zi Yang Furnace. As long as it is released, it will transform the nearby spiritual energy into a smoke with positive spiritual energy. The pill bottle contains Yin Hua Dan. Both of them were prepared by him for his practice outside the mountain, and they are now in use.

He placed the Zi Yang furnace and turned the lid. The efficiency of this thing was not very high. After waiting for a while, a thin wisp of purple smoke floated out.

Seeing this, Xu Heng poured out a Yin Hua Pill and swallowed it, then inhaled the purple smoke and slowly began to practice magic.

As Xu Heng gradually got into the groove, the room soon fell silent, with only the magical power on the doors and windows still shining brightly.

This is the embodiment of the condensed magic power. If it is not taken back by Xu Heng and is not consumed by external factors, it can exist in the world for decades without decreasing or increasing.

However, after Xu Heng's practice reached this stage, his progress was no longer as good as before. Obviously, if he wanted to make another qualitative leap, he had to reach the level of Hesha.

Of course, although this matter is imperative, there is no urgent need to see results. Moreover, by accumulating bit by bit, one can still increase his magic power at a slow rate. Therefore, Xu Heng never neglected his practice.

Xu Heng's practice took another three or four days before he came out of his meditation. He collected the magic power on the doors and windows, and suddenly opened the window with a flick of his fingers, revealing the moonlight outside. It turned out that it was night.

He walked closer to the window with his hands behind his back, and suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing on his face, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Xu Heng had been in a state of meditation for several days, and the Yunhu sea boat had already started moving. Although there were few reference objects on the sea, it was not difficult for him to see with his sharp eyes that the sea boat was traveling at a speed beyond imagination.

Such a huge vessel traveling at such a fast speed could probably cause a storm, but being in the boat felt stable, with a gentle breeze blowing on one's face, which undoubtedly showed the sophistication of the restrictions on this large sea-crossing boat.

"I heard that behind the Yunhu Fairy City is a famous Jindan Zhenren. It seems that what he said is true." Xu Heng thought to himself. He took a casual glance and found that the sea boat was quite lively.

In the ship building not far away, there were candles, hanging lights and decorations, and the sounds of stringed instruments and singing were endless. It was obvious that there were many dinners and rituals going on, and there were quite a few people on the deck.

In addition to the guards on duty at a certain treasure shop, there were many people sitting there leisurely, drinking under the moon and enjoying themselves.

There were still nearly three months to reach Xingxiu Sea. Not everyone could stand the loneliness like Xu Heng, so it was reasonable for him to have some fun. Not to mention them, even Xu Heng felt that he was too absorbed in cultivation, and had deviated from the essence of traveling. He thought about walking on the deck.

Xu Heng did what he thought, but when he got on the deck, he felt it was a bit noisy. After looking around, he found that the bow was quiet, so he went there.

When he reached the bow, looking at the line where the water and sky meet in front of him and feeling the boundless vastness of the ocean, Xu Heng realized that the sounds around him gradually faded away, as if even the world in his heart became wider.

Suddenly he wanted to recite a poem, but although he was in the mood, he had difficulty grinding out ink. He couldn't help feeling a little amused, thinking that when he was young, he was also known as a child prodigy in the Xu clan school. Although he has read a lot of Taoist books now, he has indeed written fewer articles.

Xu Heng was reminiscing in his heart, his eyes still fixed on the space between the sea and the sky, but they suddenly moved and locked onto a certain spot in front of the boat.

"Hmm?" Xu Heng's brows gradually frowned. If what he saw was correct, it should be a small shadow, and it seemed to be still moving?

"A living thing? Or a boat?" Xu Heng pondered for a moment, then got off the bow and called the nearest person on duty, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please come and take a look."

The man saw that Xu Heng also had a token hanging around his waist. Although he was not from the same family, he thought that he had discovered something and hurriedly went to the bow of the ship to take a look.

Xu Heng asked, "There is something in front of us. Do you need to inform Haizhou to avoid it?"

The man took a look and saw that the shadow had grown much bigger in just a moment. It looked like something was indeed moving forward. However, after hearing what Xu Heng said, he curled his lips and said, "With the speed of the sea boat, any monster that hit it would be crushed to pieces. Don't pay any attention to it."

Xu Heng frowned and asked, "What if it's a ship?"

The man waved his hand in annoyance, and said, "If a ship sees a sea ship coming, can't it avoid it?" Then he got off the bow, as if he was afraid that Xu Heng would get entangled with him, and went to patrol in the distance.

"This?" Xu Heng actually knew that what the man said made sense, but for some reason he felt a little uneasy, so he turned around and looked at the shadow again. As the distance got closer, the outline of the thing gradually became clearer.

It was neither a ship nor a sea monster, but a bamboo raft with two figures sitting side by side on it, paddling with wooden oars, one on the left and one on the right!

"Not good." Xu Heng turned around to look for someone again, but with the speed the sea boat was moving, he was afraid that it would collide with them in a moment. His eyes changed slightly.

"Are these two people deaf or stupid? Why didn't they release their divine consciousness? Why didn't they avoid it?"

Xu Heng frowned deeply. He knew that anyone who could travel on a bamboo raft in such a distant sea must be a cultivator. But he found it hard to understand why they didn't avoid it.

But no matter what, he couldn't just sit there and watch. It was too late to find someone to inform him now, so he simply held his breath, pointed at the sea from a distance, and shouted, "Where is the Sea Force?"

There was no response, but a huge wave suddenly surged up, like a mountain peak suddenly about to break through the sea surface, lifting the bamboo raft and rushing out hundreds of feet away, avoiding the route of the Yunhu sea boat.

The next moment, the sea boat went straight forward and smashed the wave into pieces. Xu Heng's body shook slightly. He knew that the sea powers were scattered by the sea boat and these magic powers could not be taken back. He couldn't help shaking his head.

God is merciful and merciful, so Xu Heng did not feel any regret. He just hoped that the two people would cherish this glimmer of hope.

However, just as he was about to get off the bow, his ears suddenly moved and he seemed to hear the faint sound of quarreling. A strange look appeared on his face.

A voice said, "No, no. This big ship didn't evade us. Someone used magic to push us away. I won."

"Bullshit!" Another voice suddenly raised its head and shouted, "This big ship didn't hit us, so of course I won!"

"What are you arguing about? I'm trying to reason with you." The former was very calm, and immediately retorted: "We are betting on whether this big ship will collide. It has nothing to do with whether it collides or not."

The two of them argued for a while and then shouted in unison: "Then let's find someone to judge the matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of breaking air. Xu Heng turned around suddenly and saw two figures breaking through the sea breeze and landing on the deck as if the restrictions of the sea boat were nothing.

Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, he saw two people coming, one of them looked middle-aged, wearing a tall black crown with nine red dots painted on it, and a very strange robe with dragon seals, phoenix scrolls, cloud patterns, thunder patterns... but they were intertwined into various strange arrangements of numbers such as three, nine, two, and eight.

The other person is even more peculiar. He looks neither old nor young, like the appearance of all living beings and also like himself. He has a messy Taoist robe, a dry chest, and a gourd hanging around his waist... Isn't he the Taoist priest?
When the two men arrived on the deck, they still insisted on their own opinions. Xu Heng originally wanted to say hello to the Taoist priest, but he couldn't get a word in.

The guards on the sea boat suddenly saw someone coming up and became alert. They surrounded them and someone shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Yunhu sea boat?"

As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, as if at any moment he would give the order and everyone would catch him.

The two men stopped at the same time, turned their heads and looked over, without any sign of annoyance on their faces. Xu Heng even had a rather impressive expression on his face when he saw the strange middle-aged Taoist priest.

The Taoist Shuohe shook his head slightly and said, "I am the Taoist Shuohe. My friends, please don't be impatient. It is not the right way to fight over a disagreement..."

The guard leader frowned, but he didn't get angry in a hurry. Instead, he seemed to be lost in thought.

Instead, the middle-aged Taoist priest showed impatience on his face and coughed violently, interrupting the Taoist priest's preaching and attracting everyone's attention.

He seemed quite satisfied, cleared his throat, and whispered a poem:
"The universe is a big game, and the sun and the moon can both be used as strategies.

Tao is nothing more than a word, and all living beings are swimming in the Tao.

The temper surges before winning or losing, and gambling is a great skill.

Only when you understand the mysterious method of gambling can you know that everything is empty. "

Xu Heng was listening and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
