call-
The wind blew, and the waves rolled back and pushed towards the departing ship. Lu Liangsheng shifted his gaze, from the four scholars to the dock behind. The black shadow swam out to the sea, and its limbs gracefully touched the water, revealing the outline of a dragon head. Its beard fluttered, and it opened its mouth to let out a dragon's roar, blowing a strong wind. The sea surface around the ship suddenly collapsed, forming more than a dozen huge whirlpools.
Squeak~~~
The hull began to sway slightly along with the water puddles, and the keel instantly groaned with friction, and the speed of pushing away the waves gradually slowed down.
Lu Liangsheng turned around and called out, "Master!"
On the back of the old donkey crawling over there, the bookshelf was kicked open with a bang. The Toad Taoist looked around, jumped out of the small door, and turned into a fat old man.
He smiled and said, "Why do you call me master?" At the same time, he turned around and saw the long shadow passing over the sea. He felt the dragon's might, and his smile froze.
"A dragon that becomes a god?!"
"Master, come to the bow."
The scholar had no time to explain to him, he stretched out his fingers and made a gesture, and the old and the young instantly switched positions. Lu Liangsheng kicked off the deck and threw himself into the sky behind the ship, facing the dragon head that had opened its huge mouth and was about to bite the stern of the ship. His robe sleeves flicked open, and the instant the gesture changed, it turned into a huge palm covering him.
—Qian Yang Palm!
The palm of his hand glowed with the imperial edict. The moment he approached the dragon's head, he placed his palm on it. The divine light penetrated the black shadow directly, making a loud bang. The long shadow shook, tilted in mid-air, and screamed: "Ho-ang!!"
As it roared, the dragon swung its head and knocked the scholar back with a bang.
'Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Guishui and Bingmao! '
With his black hair fluttering in the wind, Lu Liangsheng, who was flying backwards, used his fingers to move the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches around his body, raising the Xunfeng to resist and create some distance. He hooked his feet on the mast of the boat and hung his body diagonally on it. The Xunfeng he raised pushed the hull to break through the obstructing wind and waves, and directly broke through the rapids and water, heading towards the farther sea.
"land!"
"good!"
"born!"
It seemed that the black shadow could not leave the range of the temple. It chased for a distance and then hovered over the sea, wandering around, with human voices shouting.
"You won't find it!"
"If you leave Jiuzhou, you will die—"
"We are always watching you, watching you in the sky!"
The roaring sound gradually became ethereal on the sea. When the distant dock and the floating giant shadow turned into a black dot, Lu Liangsheng lightly descended from the mast and left his original position. The heavenly stems and earthly branches that had been fluctuating just now also changed, and the Xunfeng stopped.
The big ship was still sailing forward, parting the waves. The Toad Taoist standing at the bow saw that his disciple was fine, so he withdrew his magic, glanced behind him, and then came over, stroking his white beard.
"Liangsheng, that was the Dragon King in the temple just now. He governs an area of the sea. How did you offend him?"
"It's a long story."
Lu Liangsheng adjusted the magic power in his body, pinched the magic spell again, and used the water-controlling magic to push the ship forward. After a moment, he told the Toad Taoist the whole story.
"Master, you may not know that the First Emperor in your body warned me that once I leave the range of the Ten Thousand Spirits Formation, the gods in the sky will cast their Dharma images to interfere with me. This should be to prevent me from finding the place of Guixu, or in other words, to prevent me from obtaining the Kongtong Seal."
As for why this magical weapon is not in the hands of those gods, it is very likely that it would cause great harm to the gods, so it is possible that it is sealed in Guixu.
Otherwise, why did they repeatedly stop the First Emperor from going out to sea to find the seal, and why didn't they move it for so many years
Toad Taoist listened to every word, walked silently to the side of the ship, looked at the boundless sky and sea, his eyelids twitching unconsciously.
Damn it, I just offended some monks or mountain ghosts, but now I have offended a bunch of gods. Alas, there are so many people in the village, why did they think of teaching him magic in the first place
Hmm…
How could you be so dejected when you are approaching the demon king? Aren't you even worse than a disciple
Taoist Toad put his hands behind his back and slowly turned around, looking at the pier that was getting farther and farther away, and nodded: "Liangsheng, since it has already happened, don't worry about it. The more those gods try to stop you, the more they are afraid that you will find the Kongtong Seal. From now on, the sea is vast, and you and I will join forces to break through it. If anyone dares to block our way, we will kill him cleanly!"
On the other side of the cabin, the old donkey snorted and neighed twice, indicating to the toad that he was still there.
"Haha, okay, I'll listen to Master."
Lu Liangsheng smiled, reached out and stroked the old donkey's head, then walked over to the four scholars lying on the ground.
"But, there are still these four people, so there are six of us in total."
The four people on the deck were blown from the dock to the deck by the strong wind. They were lucky. Lu Liangsheng checked them and found that their internal organs and bones were not injured. He raised his hands and lifted the four people into the air, then sent them into the cabin to rest and see if there was anything useful in the cabin.
"Just put the four of them here first."
This ship had only three floors. The first floor was mostly occupied by the ship's workers and merchants. After putting the four scholars in the wooden cabin to rest, Lu Liangsheng went down to the second floor. There was not much cargo in the empty cabin. It seemed that there had been a sudden heavy rain yesterday and the cargo had not been loaded yet. After walking through the second floor, there were only a few barrels of water and some food and fodder, but no meat or vegetables available.
"Master can only eat sea fish now."
After checking the third floor, which was full of tools for repairing ships, there was nothing unusual. Lu Liangsheng returned to the deck and said, "Master, besides some food, there is only clean water and this."
The Toad Taoist dragged a small lounge chair over there and placed it on the deck to bask in the sun. He raised the fishing rod in his hand, and the latter turned back into the form of a toad, lazily turning his head to take a look.
"Leave it there. It can always be used..."
The master and the disciple sat and lay on the deck, chatting for a while, and cooked a pot of porridge on the small stove in the cabin. After that, Lu Liangsheng went to the bookshelf, took out "Liezi", patted it in his hands, and moved a small stool to sit on the side of the boat.
He stretched out his hand and hooked the fishing rod. He swung it forward, and the fishhook fell into the sea dragging the rain line.
Wow…
Wow wow wow~~
The wind blew in with a fishy smell of the sea. The old donkey lying on the cabin door yawned listlessly, and rested his head on his crossed forelimbs in boredom. The Toad Taoist lazily turned over his bulging body, revealing the densely packed bumps on his back, and continued to sleep soundly.
In the sea breeze.
The black hair came out of the bun and stroked on the shoulders. The scholar in a green robe listened to the sound of rolling waves and basked in the sunshine. He looked at the contents of the book intently, pondering the distance to the so-called Guixu place and the direction to go along the way. Occasionally, the buoy on the sea would shake and fall, so he would pull the fishing rod casually, pull up a big fish, and throw it onto the deck, making a "clack" sound on the fish's tail.
The old donkey raised its head, ran over happily, pawed at it with its hooves, and jumped back and forth on the deck excitedly.
It seems like a pleasant afternoon.
