"Water Dragon Art!" "No, you have to do this. First draw a circle to attract the mana, and then let it flow through the seven meridians and eight meridians. Only in this way can you ensure the success of the spell." "Then how do I compare with my hands?" "That's it!" Ma Xiaoyu grabbed Yin Xiu's hand and led his fingers to draw circles in the air, from the Beidou to the south sky. "How is it? Have you learned it? The basic techniques of Maoshan Technique?" "I've finally learned it..." Yin Xiu said hesitantly. "What does it mean to calculate? If you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't." Ma Xiaoyu's eyes widened. When discussing spells and clothes, she was always more serious than expected. Yin Xiu could only smile and say, "How about we do it again?"
"Of course I'll do it again! Practice until I know how to do it!" Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu were practicing their skills on the bow of the boat, while Liu Banxian and Ren Qi were sitting in the background. "A match made in heaven! A match made in heaven!" Liu Banxian kept patting his thigh. After a pause, he looked at Ren Qi next to him who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, "Brother, what do you think?" "What do you think?" Ren Qi raised his eyelids slightly, revealing a little eyeball, and then closed it tightly, "Out of sight is out of mind!" "Hey! I don't know how to appreciate it! If it weren't for your hair being so long, I would have thought you were a monk." Liu Banxian couldn't help but shake his head. In fact, when he heard this, he felt a feeling of hatred that iron could not become steel. But the person in front of him is Ren Qi, a master of swordsmanship. If he hits him, he can be killed with one finger. If he scolds him, Ren Qi looks like a stone. No matter what you say, he will not react. Just when he was angry, the sailor who had been standing on the mast and looked out shouted: "Wen Ling is just ahead!" The sailors immediately cheered, and the speed and atmosphere of work on the ship became enthusiastic. "What, are we staying in Wenling?" Ren Qi opened his eyes. "Yes, I discussed it with the emperor before, maybe you weren't listening at that time. When we encountered Mr. Hong before, we took a long detour and used the maximum power, which caused a lot of losses. So it is best to resupply in Wenling and take a rest to avoid wasting time later. What do you mean, sir? " For this swordsman who can draw his sword so fast that people can't see it, and can break people into two pieces with a single slash, the sea dog is more in awe of him than Yin Xiu. After all, although Yin Xiu can fight, he doesn't look like a natural born killer. As for the man in front of him who even carries six swords on his back, it is really hard not to associate him with a cold-blooded butcher. The sea dog was cautious, fearing that if he said anything wrong, he would be hacked to death on the spot. "Since Yin Xiu already knows, you can just do it without asking me."
Ren Qi said lightly and closed his eyes again. But Liu Banxian became interested and waved to the sea dog, "Captain, how long will we stay in Wenling?" "Two days!" The sea dog pointed out three fingers and said, "Stay a maximum of two days. After replenishing fuel and doing some maintenance, we can leave immediately." "Fast enough!" Liu Banxian nodded, "Wen Ling, I've been here once before when I was traveling in Jianghu. It's quite a port!" "It's even bigger now!" Sea Dog smiled and said: "After the establishment of trade, there are more foreigners, Persian merchants, and Japanese compradors here. There are more of these people coming and going here, so it becomes more and more lively, and it is almost as big as Hong Kong Island and the Magic City." "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Liu Banxian murmured. "Hey, who can explain this clearly? We who make a living at sea only care about where we dock today and where we will land tomorrow. We can't take care of other things and it's not our turn." "You don't care, and I don't care either. No wonder Jiuzhou is like this." Liu Banxian murmured. "Master, what did you say?" "It's nothing," Liu Banxian waved his hand, "It's just a calculation." "Speaking of fortune telling." Sea Dog rubbed his hands, "I wonder when, Master, you will be able to make a fortune for me when you have time? In the past few years, I have always felt that my luck has been mediocre. I want you, an expert from this world, to give me some guidance. Of course you can." It would be even better if you could point out a way and help me change my destiny." "Not a big deal." Liu Banxian raised his head and glanced at the sun, "But today is not a good time. Can we wait for a while?" "Of course! Of course!" Sea Dog nodded, "It just depends on when it's convenient for you." While talking, the boat gradually floated into the harbor with the current. Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu stopped practicing and looked around at the boats in the bay. As the seal said, ships from all over the world, big and small, old and new, all docked here. Their Black Widow is like a clown duck among them, and it will be crushed by those big ships if they are not careful. "Emperor, in two days, probably two days, we will be ready." The seal still held out three fingers. "Understood! Just do as you say. At sea, you are the boss. Just do whatever you think you want to do." "But we have to go ashore eventually." Sea Dog grinned, "Like now, when the ship docks, it's up to your boss to decide what we are going to do." The two of them were quite happy flattering each other like this.
Other sailors hurriedly packed up the cables and cargo holds, docked the ship at a fixed berth, and marked it. After finishing their work, most of the sailors jumped ashore in a hurry and ran out without looking back. "What the hell are they running so fast?" Ma Xiaoyu asked doubtfully. "Seeing a ghost is a ghost, it's just a lustful ghost." Yin Xiu pointed to the front and saw that the sailors who had seemed very dedicated and conscientious on the ship were already mingling with the prostitutes on the shore in the blink of an eye, and they were having a wild time. Either walking and talking at the same time, or impatiently dragging the woman towards the hotel. It seems that the wave of life and death moments at sea did put a lot of psychological pressure on them, so much so that they were in urgent need of release at this moment. "How?" Yin Xiu turned around. "What's going on?" Ma Xiaoyu turned her head and asked, her eyes full of doubts. "I mean, should we also go ashore and find a hotel to rest?" Ma Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You!" "It's time to find a place to rest!" Liu Banxian stretched out and said, "My brain was almost shaken by the rocking on the boat, and I haven't had a hot bath for several days. Who can withstand this?" After hearing Liu Banxian's words and looking at Yin Xiu's sincere eyes, Ma Xiaoyu realized that she had made a mistake, and her ears suddenly turned red. "Miss Ma, your ears are so red, have they been blown by the wind?" Liu Banxian asked doubtfully. "no!" Ma Xiaoyu picked up a package and jumped to the shore. Then she turned to look at Yin Xiu, "Why don't you hurry up?" "okay!" Yin Xiu also turned over and jumped out of the boat. “Hey, young people are just impatient.” Liu Banxian glanced down, shook his head and said: "Although our boat is small, it is still several meters above the ground. You are really not afraid of breaking your legs. Are you capable of this?" As he said that, he swayed down the boat ladder to the shore. When he looked up again, Ma Xiaoyu had already pulled Yin Xiu away. Behind Liu Banxian, Ren Qi followed him with a sword on his back, following every step. …… "Dude, stay at the hotel!" Yin Xiu took the lead, came to the counter, and patted the table. It's afternoon now, not nearly evening yet, which is when hotel business is at its most deserted. After all, this is not a tourist place. The only people who come to stay at the hotel are tourists in a hurry and sailors smelling like fish. These two types of people either want to save money or are pressed for time, so they will not come here at this time. Stay in the hotel. So the waiter was taking a nap inside the counter, so he couldn't help but feel a little irritated by such a noise.
"I know, it's [-] cents for a room. If you check out before twelve o'clock, you'll get double the amount if you check out after one o'clock!" "Two rooms!" Yin Xiu paid three dollars. The waiter was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ma Xiaoyu who was standing behind him, admiring the mural, and then nodded to Yin Xiu understandingly. He said loudly: "Sorry, there is only one room left, guest." "Are you kidding me? How can this poor place be filled up so quickly?" Yin Xiu's eyes widened. "Hey, you don't know something. There is going to be a storm on the sea, and all the nearby boats have come to the harbor to take shelter. If I didn't think that these two are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match, I wouldn't rent it out. . If you want to stay, hurry up, otherwise you will have to sleep on the street when other guests come. " Yin Xiu turned around in embarrassment and said to Ma Xiaoyu: "On the way here, I did see many people. It seems that this guy is not lying. I am afraid that the hotel at the port is really full." "What should we do?" Ma Xiaoyu was a little confused. "Why not." Yin Xiu sighed, "How about you stay here and I'll just go back to the ship for a few days. I'll be leaving soon anyway." As a man, I don't take a shower, suffer from insomnia, suffer from rheumatism, and get cold at night, but it doesn't matter. " As he spoke, he stretched his waist vigorously, and his whole body crackled. "Isn't this bad?" Ma Xiaoyu was a little confused. "Why not?" Yin Xiu waved her hand, "There's only one room left, why can't I argue with you? It's not good for one of us to sleep on the bed or the floor alone?" "Then..." After a pause, Ma Xiaoyu showed her teeth and bit her lip gently, "How about you go back to the ship first? I'll call you when there are vacancies here!" "..." Yin Xiu turned around, glared at the snickering waiter, and took back two of the three coins placed on the counter. "Okay, then if you need anything, just call me! Good afternoon!" Yin Xiu turned around and left. As soon as they returned to the ship, Yin Xiu saw Liu Banxian standing on the dock, looking around constantly. When he saw Yin Xiu, he immediately ran over. "Why, your place is full?" Yin Xiu said listlessly. "No, I ran back, and someone is following me!" Liu Banxian said anxiously. "Following you?" Yin Xiu frowned, "Could this be your imagination?"
"Hey! With my ability, if someone is following me, can I find it?" Liu Banxian sighed, "I didn't discover it, it was Ren Qi who told me." "Oh, that makes sense." Yin Xiu turned around and looked around, "What about Ren Qi? Why isn't he here?" "He asked me to come back and find you, and then he went to chase the two people who were following him." Yin Xiu covered her forehead and said, "Damn! He won't chop people to death in the street later, right?" This is not an exaggerated imagination, but a reasonable reasoning. With Ren Qi's style, it would not be surprising to do such a thing. But no matter what, it is impossible for Yin Xiu to go to Ren Qi first. Because among their group, if there is anyone who will receive special attention at present, it is of course only Liu Banxian. The imperial court wants him, and the White Lotus Sect also needs him. As for Yin Xiu and others, in the eyes of others, they are just Liu Banxian's "thugs". Who would waste their energy on these bones that are harder to chew than the last? Therefore, the most important thing right now is to ensure Liu Banxian's safety first, and everything else can be put aside later. Thinking of this, Yin Xiu stood closer to Liu Banxian. "Let's go back to the ship first and look for the seals." "Yes!" Liu Banxian couldn't help but nodded, "He is a local snake and a dragon across the river, so he will definitely find a way." "Whether there is any way or not, it is much better than standing on the shore." Yin Xiu walked quickly to the berth of the Black Widow and shouted twice to the ship, "Seal dog! Sea dog!" The sea dog didn't respond to him, and the sailors on the ship didn't make any move either. According to Sea Dog, even when he docked, even if he, the captain, went ashore, at least half of the people should be on the boat. But now, no one responded to his call. Just when Yin Xiu felt something bad, someone poked her head out from the side of the boat. It was a woman with a delicate face and a thin layer of powder on her face. "Handsome guy, come up and sit down?" Yin Xiu shook his head, "Isn't it appropriate for a man and a woman alone to talk on the boat for the first time?" "Oh?" The woman gently covered her mouth and seemed to laugh, "Why weren't you so conservative when we were in the hotel?" Seeing that she even had eyeliners around her, Yin Xiu couldn't help but laugh, "You did all these tricks just to invite me to come up and have a chat?" "And the one next to you." The woman stretched out her red nails and pointed at Liu Banxian. "This……"
Before Yin Xiu could say anything, Liu Banxian took the lead. He walked to the front, adjusted his sunglasses and straightened his collar. "I, Liu Banxian, Liu Yisi, although I am handsome and charming, will inevitably make several women feel sad for me due to unintentional mistakes wherever I go, but in fact I am not a casual person. To be honest, it is difficult for me to accept an invitation from a woman of unknown origin like you. " "Unknown origin? Okay!" The woman chuckled twice, and with her feet a little lower, she rose into the air and turned somersaults in the air. Then the golden rooster stood on its own with its toes standing on the side of the ship. "The Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect, Sister Lian, together with the White Lotus Sect members, respectfully welcome Mr. Liu from Wollongong. Please come aboard and have a talk!" Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian looked at each other and couldn't help but feel that things were getting interesting. (End of chapter)
