My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 35 Calling
Just after Yin time, Qi Yuan woke up naturally, opened his eyes, and the low cabin roof was within reach.

"Well, at least a month at sea."

She grew up in a family of officials since she was a child. Although she is living in the rivers and lakes now, the girl is still a little squeamish.

Qi Yuan knows his faults and is often teased by his brother, but girls like to be clean, so what's wrong.

Can't the children of the rivers and lakes be clean?

Qi Yuan sniffed the clothes on his body, turned down the gondola with a bitter face, squeezed his neck, and opened the curtain.

I saw my brother Qi Bo lying on the bed, smelling of alcohol, muttering in sleep, scratching his face from time to time.

Originally, the elder brother slept in the hammock, and the younger sister slept on the bed board.

But last night when Qi Bo was with Sima Yan, Wang Huai was very drunk, and if it was not enough effort to put him in the hammock, Qi Yuan just threw him on the bed.

"Dead pig!"

Qi Yuan cursed bitterly, took the black whip hanging at the side, pushed open the hatch and walked to the deck.

It was getting dark, and the oil lamps on the walls of the aisle had already run out of oil, leaving only a faint light.

Qi Yuan stepped on the slightly wobbly floor, slowly walked through the corridor, and when he passed a cabin, he heard ear-piercing snores one after another.

This is the dormitory for the three recruits and the chief guard.

The appearance of the fierce duo flashed in his mind, Qi Yuan frowned, and disgust flashed in his almond-like eyes.

At this moment, squeak, the hatch opened, and the old Taoist came out with a haggard face.

The old Taoist yawned a lot, and when he looked up and saw Qi Yuan, he smiled awkwardly:
"Uh, Miss Qi?"

As soon as the cabin door was opened, the sound of snoring rushed in instantly, accompanied by a strong stench.

Qi Yuan immediately covered his mouth and nose, and stepped back.

Seeing this, the old Taoist hurriedly closed the cabin door, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old sir, are you going to exercise in the morning?"

Her impression of this vicissitudes old man is not bad.

"It's morning exercise."

The old Taoist smiled wryly, and pointed to the cabin behind him:
"I can't sleep anyway. Girl?"

"I'm used to practicing at sunrise."

Qi Yuan felt sympathetic, and considered whether to intercede with Sima Yan and help the old man change to a rest cabin.

"Young girl, you have to practice the law at such a young age. It's really enviable."

Qi Yuan's words seemed to have touched the old Taoist priest, and he heard the old man lament: "I've been ignorant for most of my life as an old man. Once I learned the way, it's already my dying years, and I have no strength to recover from it."

Qi Yuan didn't know how to comfort him, and said that he had only obtained some minor skills, but not the great truth. Although it was the truth, it might sound hypocritical.

Besides, the two of them were not familiar with each other, so the girl remained silent.

The old Taoist didn't expect to get a response from Qi Yuan, he had already said this emotion countless times.

So the only sound left in the dark corridor was the sound of footsteps.

call--

The sea breeze blows in front of him, blowing Qi Yuan's beautiful hair and blowing away his uncomfortable feeling.

"That little brother Jiang?"

The surprise of the old Taoist suddenly came, and Qi Yuan turned around to look.

I saw a tall and straight figure sitting cross-legged on the bow deck of the ship, breathing white air in the face of the white sun that had just risen in the distance.

There is a unique charm in that breath.

Qi Yuan has completed the first step of foundation building, and is now stepping into the second step of breathing. The energy in his body is full, and he has a sense of the aura of heaven and earth.

The formulas she practiced also made her very sensitive to changes in aura.

Relying on this ability, the brother and sister traveled the rivers and lakes and avoided many disasters.

So before, she could tell at a glance that Jiang Yuan had no cultivation.

However, at this time, Jiang Yuan was in a state where his thoughts had already been fulfilled, and the sense of qi in his body was born.

Moreover, during breathing, the energy surging all over her body was not weaker than hers at all.

How is this possible, in just one night, from no cultivation base directly to foundation building?

It took her a whole year to cross this threshold.

And this has already made her master warlock think that she has wasted Qi Yuan's talent, and died with regret.

"Is this person taking an elixir, or has he practiced the ultimate true method?"

Qi Yuan moved the formula silently, a cold light appeared in those almond-shaped pupils.

Through the "Dharma Eye", one can clearly see traces of mist wandering back and forth in Jiang Yuan's body.

That's insane!

Genuine Qi generation, that's right, it's the sign of getting started with foundation building.

"There seems to be something else."

Qi Yuan suddenly noticed that Jiang Yuan seemed to be sitting in a ball of clear light.

And that clear light is precisely the aura gathered.

"Food into the body?"

"impossible--"

The girl's cultivation level is not enough to maintain the "Dharma Eye" for a long time, and after such a short while, she has already started to feel dizzy.

The cold light in the pupils quickly dissipated, replaced by shock.

"It can't be food gas entering the body!"

"It's all about building a foundation overnight and stepping directly into the second step. The foundation is definitely not stable."

With the evaluation of "unstable foundation", Qi Yuan himself feels false.

Could it be that the foundation is stable after building the foundation overnight?
The girl felt that she might not be able to use her common sense to accurately guess Jiang Yuan.

She thought of the legendary fairy grass, such as the flat peach, it is said that eating one can instantly become a fairy.

After following her brother in the rivers and lakes for a long time, under the influence of the world of mortals, she has unknowingly classified herself as a warlock and alchemist, and lost the heart of a qi refiner.

Warlocks, alchemists and the like, indulge in small arts and give up the great way, laugh at themselves and forget about Kunpeng, and more importantly, their hearts are dragged into the quagmire of the world of mortals, and their imaginations are self-imprisoned.

To put it simply, although Qi Yuan has stepped into practice, her thinking has always flowed in the common sense of ordinary people, thinking that ordinary people should be so and so, and what is impossible.

However, the practice of immortality is to compete with the heavens, without a heart that transcends the ordinary world, how can one do extraordinary things?

This is what Qingyangzi said to Jiang Yuan at the beginning——

Red dust purgatory!

The horror of the world of mortals is that it will quietly wear away your Dao heart.

Therefore, practitioners should avoid the world of mortals, escape into the deep forest, and use the boundless world to purify their souls.

Qi Yuan was lucky to meet Jiang Yuan at this time, and it was also her chance.

Being in the vast sea, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, Qi Yuan's heart has become much calmer unconsciously.

In this state, Jiang Yuan, who surpassed common sense, gave her a head-on blow and broke the cage that imprisoned her.

When Jiang Yuan woke up from his cultivation state, he turned around and saw a girl staring at him blankly.

The shock on the girl's face hadn't dissipated, but those beautiful almond pupils were shining with an inexplicable light.

Jiang Yuan was attracted towards him involuntarily, as if in those pupils, he saw the sky of white clouds, mountains and wild forests.

boom!
The light in the pupil suddenly exploded, scattered into dots of light, and shattered in Yingying's eyes.

A smile naturally appeared on the girl's face.

In fact, Qi Yuan's appearance is not glamorous, but upright and generous, but this smile can only be described as elegant and vulgar.

The eyes of everyone on the deck, including Jiang Yuan, the old Taoist priest, and the sailors and guards on duty, all focused on the girl in an instant.

"Epiphany, this is epiphany!"

The old Taoist murmured, his expression was shocked, and he was even more envious.

How did you come to an epiphany?

Jiang Yuan didn't know why, but he couldn't help being envious.

At this time, Qi Yuan withdrew his smile, like a ray of sunlight disappearing from the deck, and everyone sighed in unison.

Not paying attention to the strange behavior of the people around him, Qi Yuan went straight to Jiang Yuan, saluted solemnly, and said in a melodious and clear voice:

"Qi Yuan will always remember the kindness that fellow Taoist gave me today, and if I ask for something in the future, I will do my best to repay it!"

The girl's posture was heroic and very charming, but Jiang Yuan was confused, and blurted out: "Why did I just call you?"

Qi Yuan smiled brightly, "Fellow Daoist brushed away the dust from my heart."

Jiang Yuan was even more confused, and the old Taoist next to him suddenly interjected, "Brother Jiang, this is a lucky coincidence, so don't pursue it."

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he sighed deeply, turned around and left lonely:

"I'd better go back and catch up on the cage sleep."

Jiang Yuan looked at the far away figure, and then at Qi Yuan who was looking at him with a smile.

At this time, the glowing red morning glow came from the distant sky and swayed wantonly on the boundless sea.

The rays of light shone on the girl's body, and that white and greasy face was as transparent as beautiful jade.

The confusion in Jiang Yuan's mind dissipated all of a sudden, not because he figured it out, but because he didn't care.

Seeing Jiang Yuan chuckled and said: "Miss Qi, if you want to repay me, you don't need to do it later, you can do it now."

Qi Yuan blinked his bright eyes, and said curiously: "Fellow Daoist, please tell me."

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand:

"Do you have gold? I can exchange it for spirit wine."
