It means Jiuxiaoxu long sword

Chapter 55

Cultivation does not know the years, Chu Li only feels that his eyes are opened and closed, and the night has passed.

Outside the window, noisy voices gradually came. It used to be a town in the world of cultivating immortals, but at this moment, it actually showed a bit of fireworks in the world.

Chu Li simply put out her thoughts on cultivation, opened the window and looked towards the street.

Perhaps because it is located in Haiyuan, there are not too few monks here.However, due to the lack of supplies here, most of the monks can only rely on ferry boats to survive, so after so many years, there is no prosperity here.

Foundation-building monks can use weapons, so most of the boatmen at the ferry are serving foundation-building monks or Qi-refining monks who are not good at cultivation. In this way, the income will not be much higher.

It's not that they don't want to leave this place to seek a living elsewhere, it's just that a huge part of them were born and grew up here, and have already developed an inseparable feeling for this place.Moreover, the greater the opportunity, the greater the danger. Some monks may not like such a peaceful life in a quiet corner.

Compared with those casual cultivators who have sharpened their heads to find opportunities to survive, they are more like free and unfettered immortals wandering in the world.

It's just that everything in the world is yin and yang. They may live freely, but they will not be able to protect themselves in those sudden crises.

It can only be said that no matter what a person's future path is, it is his choice.

The street was bustling with people, Chu Li lost interest after looking at it for a while, and went downstairs to get the token of the room and headed for the ferry.

The ferry was also crowded with people, most of them were low-level monks who shuttled between the two states to make a living.

Chu Li's awe-inspiring power at the ninth level of Qi refining, many people quietly moved aside when they saw her, for fear of offending her if they were careless.

Chu Li was naturally happy, and went to the boatman who greeted her yesterday: "Senior, can I give this junior a ride?"

"I don't dare to say that you are a senior." The boatman waved his hands again and again, "I just rely on myself to be more than a hundred years older than the girl to reluctantly become a foundation cultivator. If the girl wants to, just call me Uncle Hu .”

"Uncle Hu." Chu Li yelled following his will, "From here to Zhongzhou, if you cross the ocean, I don't know how long it will take."

"If there are no accidents, half a day will be enough." Uncle Hu untied the rope tied on the boat, "Come up, girl."

After getting on the boat, Chu Li went directly into the sail shed and found a spacious place to sit cross-legged.

The boat was very small, and Chu Li hadn't observed it carefully before, but now that it came up, it was only now that Uncle Hu was not alone in this state.

The other person was a boy about eight or nine years old, leaning against the side of the boat with a pale face. When he saw Chu Li coming up, he shrank his thin body timidly, for fear that he would disturb Chu Li's quietness.

"This is……"

"Did you disturb the girl's peace?" Uncle Hu apologized, "This is my son who is suffering from a serious illness. We are the only two of us at home. We have no one to take care of him, so we can only take him with him all the time."

Chu Li asked casually: "I saw that the boatman next to me carried many people at a time, why didn't Uncle Hu take more boat passengers? He also earned more spirit stones, which are needed for the son to see a doctor."

Uncle Hu was slightly stunned, and then said sadly: "The girl doesn't know something. When a child is born, his meridians are blocked and he can't do the things of cultivation. The older he gets, the weaker his body becomes. After I lost my mother, the name of a lone star spread. Those who stayed here for a long time were unwilling to take my boat, but it is fortunate that the girl came here today, and it is a good idea for me."

"It's my fault, I accidentally brought up your sadness, Uncle Hu." Chu Li's eyes showed pity, "I don't know how many spirit stones Uncle Hu can earn from this trip?"

"This trip is worth fifty spirit stones." Uncle Hu paused slightly with his pole-holding hand, showing embarrassment: "The price was set by us boatmen, and it was supposed to be shared by those who boarded the boat. But this time only the girl was carried..."

Chu Li generously interrupted Uncle Hu's self-pitying words: "It's okay, I'm happy anyway."

After hearing Chu Li's words, the boy couldn't help but timidly glanced at Chu Li, and then at Uncle Hu.

Uncle Hu received the boy's gaze, and continued to talk: "The girl is from the sect?"

Chu Li asked curiously, "How did you know?"

"Those casual cultivators who are traveling are not as extraordinary as the girl." Uncle Hu grinned and smiled kindly, "Besides, the girl is so generous and demure, if she is not from a sect, I can't think of it How can we raise such a beautiful person as a girl."

Chu Li chuckled, as if she was embarrassed by Uncle Hu's praise: "Really?"

"is not that right."

At this time, the boat had already left the ferry leisurely, and the endless Wangzhou also turned into a thin line, gradually disappearing from Chu Li's sight.

Above the abyss, the sky is bright and the air is clear.

Chu Li looked at the weak boy in the corner, and couldn't help sighing slightly.

"I thought I practiced alchemy since I was a child, thinking that I could save the world and help people. Unexpectedly, there are always countless disasters hidden in every corner in this world."

Uncle Hu was slightly taken aback: "The girl is actually Danxiu?"

"Yes." Chu Li casually took off the sword on her back and hugged it in her arms, "I have practiced alchemy since I was a child, and I am not good at fighting. Master was afraid that I would be in danger when I went out, so I gave it to me." A dharma sword, I hope it can protect me a little bit in times of crisis, and it's a good thing."

"It's really enviable that the master loves his disciples so much." Uncle Hu asked, "I don't know where the girl is going this time?"

Chu Li pretended to be troubled: "I don't know either. It's just that the master said that I'm going to build a foundation soon, and it's time to go out to experience some experience and gain insights. It's just that I have never been out of the sect before, and this time I am disappointed." I don’t know where to go. On the way here, I heard people say that Zhongzhou is prosperous, so I thought about going there, and when I get tired of shopping, I can just find a direction to practice.”

"Zhongzhou is indeed prosperous."

After finishing speaking, the boat fell into a strange silence.

On the vast ocean, there was no one around, and within Chu Li's vision, he could only vaguely see seabirds occasionally flying past in the sky, as well as the dazzling sunlight.

"Gudong Gudong..."

Chu Li keenly caught the strange noise coming from the bottom of the boat, and asked in horror: "Uncle Hu, did you hear any strange noise?"

"Perhaps I encountered a sea beast." Uncle Hu's face was serious, and he spent some spiritual energy towards the pole in his hand during the conversation, "Miss, sit still, and I can continue to move forward after I capture this sea beast!"
