Peerless cultivation

Chapter 14 Merchant Shipping

Duan Chenfeng flew over the endless sea for almost a day, but he still didn't see land. Is there something wrong with his flight route?Now the energy in the body has been consumed almost, and there are no islands on the sea. If he can't get on the road again, he may fall into the sea and drown due to the exhaustion of his internal strength.

The wind from the sea blows gently into the air, mixed with a salty smell, the surrounding scenery is strangely similar, and it is impossible to distinguish the north, south, east, and west.After flying for a while, I vaguely saw a ship coming towards this side. Duan Chenfeng was so excited that he couldn't express it in his heart, he used the true energy in his body to hold the purple cloud pendant, and quickly approached the ship. .

As it got closer, Duan Chenfeng realized that it was a very large merchant ship with countless cargoes hoarded on board. People in twos and threes on the deck all looked confused and felt a little strange in their hearts. near.When approaching the hull, Duan Chenfeng reversed his hand, and Ziyun Pei disappeared in the body instantly. With the Dementor flute in his hand, he landed lightly on the deck without even making a slight sound.Duan Chenfeng used phantom fascination and came to a corner of the deck in an instant. There was a young man in his 20s in the corner, wearing a gorgeous dress, facing the sea. He seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked friendlyly: "Hello."

Hearing a strange voice, the other party looked back suspiciously. When he saw Duan Chenfeng beside him, he was startled and said in shock, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Duan Chenfeng said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm just a cultivator living in the sea. Some time ago, the island where I lived suddenly collapsed, so I escaped, and I happened to meet you."

"Really!" He still had some doubts about Duan Chenfeng's words.

Duan Chenfeng nodded and continued: "My true energy is almost exhausted, so I need a place to rest to replenish my true energy. I happened to see you, so I came here uninvited. I'm really sorry if I disturbed you."

"Are you really a cultivator?" The other party seemed to be interested in Duan Chenfeng's identity.

"That's right!" Duan Chenfeng knew that there was no cultivator on board this boat, so he couldn't do without proving his identity, so he took out the Dementor Flute and held it casually, and the Dementor Flute came out, changing all kinds of He moved, and then stretched out his hand, and the Dementor Flute returned to his hand again.Then he said: "How about it, now you don't doubt my identity!"

The other party nodded, and said with some joy: "Hello, Mr. Cultivator, my name is Wang Li, and everyone calls me Ali." He seemed to have thought of something when he said this, and said loudly in the direction of the middle of the deck: "Brother , come quickly, we are saved."

After a while, another young man came running not far away. He looked a few years older than Wang Li and was also dressed in gorgeous clothes. After seeing Duan Chenfeng, he asked Wang Li: "What's the matter, Ali, he who is it."

Wang Li told about Duan Chenfeng, and said to Duan Chenfeng: "Mr. Cultivator, this is my brother Wang Qiang."

Wang Qiang also gave Duan Chenfeng a friendly smile, and then said, "Hello, Mr. Cultivator."

When they yelled like this, Duan Chenfeng felt a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Don't call me Mr. Cultivator, my name is Duan Chenfeng, you can call me by my name or Chenfeng from now on."

Wang Qiang said happily: "That's it! I'll ask you to call you little brother, how about it."

Duan Chenfeng felt that it was a lot more friendly, and said with a smile: "Okay! Brother Wang Qiang"

Wang Qiang said: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the other people on the boat first!"

"Okay!" Duan Chenfeng nodded, and followed Wang Qiang to walk towards the middle of the deck.Called by Wang Li just now, many people have come on the deck, Duan Chenfeng counted, there are about ten, and each of them has a vigilant expression on their faces.

After being introduced by the two brothers Wang Qiang, Duan Chenfeng knew that this was a merchant ship, the ship belonged to their two brothers' family, and the rest of the people were hired workers and servants to help transport the goods.Brother Wang Qiang is from Tianyu City. They are going to transport some cultivators' magic weapons to Tianmeng City in the north. Since the cost of sea transportation is relatively low, they choose sea transportation. Fleeing here, fortunately, the robbers haven't chased them these days, or they really don't know what to do.Although the robbers didn't come after him, they didn't dare to go back, and the cultivators protecting him couldn't be contacted, so they could only wander in the sea like this.They all know the cruelty of robbers, if they fall into their hands, there will be no bones left.

At this time, Wang Qiang looked at Duan Chenfeng, as if seeing hope, and said, "Little brother Chenfeng, you must save us!" The servants and hired workers next to him also said in unison.

Duan Chenfeng is kind-hearted, how could he refuse?So he said: "Don't worry, I will try my best! If the other party has a master of cultivation, I can't help it."

Wang Li continued at this time: "Don't worry, there won't be a master of cultivation among the robbers. Think about it! If they are really masters of cultivation, who would want to be a robber?"

Duan Chenfeng was right when he thought about it. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "What year is it now?"

Everyone knows that Duan Chenfeng is a cultivator who has retreated. They still have a certain understanding of cultivators. After all, cultivators are regarded as gods in this world. It is normal for a cultivator to retreat for ten or twenty years. Duan Chen When they heard Feng's words, none of them laughed. Instead, they felt that cultivators were really mysterious and powerful.

Wang Qiang replied: "It is now August 1257."

Unexpectedly, it has been five years since I left, no wonder I have grown so tall, five years have passed without knowing it, how is Wan Qing now?They're all grown up girls!No longer will you be pestering yourself to play around all day long!For a moment, Duan Chenfeng was full of emotions, yes!It's time to go back and see Wan Qing, if she knows that she is not dead, how happy she will be!

"What's the matter, Chenfeng." Seeing Duan Chenfeng standing there, Wang Li couldn't help but said.

Duan Chenfeng regained his composure from his thoughts, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I lost my composure, I just thought of many things from the past for a while."

"It's fine." Wang Qiang also smiled. They were in a particularly good mood today and said, "Little brother, I'll prepare a room for you. After your skills recover, we'll go back and teach those robbers a lesson. Ali, you go prepare." dinner."

Ali said: "Okay, I'll go." Then he went to prepare a bowl of meals.

Why doesn't Duan Chenfeng want to go back quickly at this time!Go back and see his naughty and lovely Wanqing sister.Is the tight relationship between them really just brother and sister?He always felt that Wan Qing was the most special existence in her heart, with a strange feeling.Thinking of this, his hand inadvertently touched the Qingguang ring, and a clean white handkerchief came out first in his hand.

Wang Qiang, who was walking in the cabin, saw a handkerchief suddenly appeared in Duan Chenfeng's hand, and said with a smile: "This must be a gift from your beloved!"

After Duan Chenfeng heard it, he thought of Wan Qing bandaging his wound back then, blushed slightly, and said nothing.

Seeing that Duan Chenfeng didn't speak, Wang Qiang thought he had acquiesced, and continued: "You must have been separated for many years, and it seems that you are not very old. Since you have kept the girl's things all the time, it means that she must have something special in your heart. Why don't you find some time to visit her! Explain to him clearly."

Duan Chenfeng also murmured when he heard this: "Yes! It's time to find a time to talk to her." For a moment, infinite thoughts filled the whole atrium.

Wang Qiang led him to a room, explained a few words, and left.Duan Chenfeng looked at the handkerchief, smiled slightly, and put it in the Qingguang ring.Sitting on the bed, he started to practice, and quickly adjusted to the state of samadhi, still operating the fused true energy in his body according to the previous practice method.The two cultivation methods taught to him by his father and Tao Dao Tianjun are roughly the same, except that the method of cultivating the truth emphasizes control. As long as the true energy is circulated in the body, the lost internal energy can be replenished.And the practice of magic power is about controlling the amount. As long as there is still a trace of magic power in the body, it can slowly condense on the original magic power and increase the internal power.Duan Chenfeng successfully merged the two Dao methods together, and the power control and volume control run together. This time, with the previous experience, the recovery speed is faster than the last recovery. It didn't take long. The true energy replenished the original six levels, he thought, as long as he practiced for a while, the inner strength would be fully replenished.

Coincidentally at this time, Wang Qiang asked him to go out to have dinner on the deck, and Duan Chenfeng stopped practicing, came to the deck, and simply relaxed.Suddenly, he felt a subtle energy fluctuation in the air around him, which disappeared in an instant, and he was a little surprised. Could it be that there are still cultivators on this boat, but when he came, he clearly didn't feel that there were any practitioners in the world of cultivation among them. people?Could it be that his Taoism is much higher than his own, and he can't find it.

Just when he was wondering, dinner started, Duan Chenfeng thought about what happened just now, and asked Wang Qiang: "Are all the people on board here?"

Although Wang Qiang didn't understand why Duan Chenfeng asked such a question, he thought that Duan Chenfeng must have his reasons for asking, so he said: "There is also a cook in the cabin."

"En! You eat first, I'll go to the kitchen." Duan Chenfeng said to Xiang Qiang.

"What else do you need? I'll ask someone to prepare it for you." Wang Qiang said.

Duan Chenfeng smiled and said: "No need." Mirage used it again, and the next moment, he had already come to the door of the kitchen. At this time, he found that the chef seemed to hide something in his body, but he was very fast. Chen Feng didn't see clearly what it was, but doubts arose in his heart.

The chef is a middle-aged man in his 30s, with a very ordinary appearance, and he belongs to the kind of person who forgets when he sees it.Seeing Duan Chenfeng appearing suddenly, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Duan, is there anything I need?" He was a little nervous when he spoke, which made Duan Chenfeng even more suspicious.

"It's okay, I asked you to have dinner together." Duan Chenfeng pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile.

After hearing Duan Chenfeng's words, the other party obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, you go first, and I'll come."

Duan Chenfeng asked: "What else should I be busy with?"

The chef thought for a while and replied, "Not anymore."

"Then let's go out together!" Duan Chenfeng looked at the chef, trying to see something in his eyes, but unfortunately, apart from a little flustered earlier, the other's expression now seemed to be all right.

"Sure!" The chef followed Duan Chenfeng to the deck.

Wang Qiang was very unclear about Duan Chenfeng's behavior. He didn't eat when he was eating, so why did he go to a chef? Could it be that these meals didn't suit his taste.Just when he was thinking wildly, Duan Chenfeng and the chef appeared in front of him, stood up hurriedly, and said, "Little brother, the dishes are getting cold, let's eat quickly!"

Duan Chenfeng returned to his seat and prepared to eat, Wang Qiang and Wang Li hurriedly poured double the wine and said, "Come on, little brother, we two brothers toast you."

Duan Chenfeng smiled, shook his head and said: "Brother Wang Qiang, Ali, I'm really sorry, I don't drink."

"Then how can it be done! How can a man not know how to drink!" Ali said loudly at this time.

Wang Qiang also echoed, saying: "Yes! Little brother, just drink some!"

Duan Chenfeng inadvertently glanced at the chef next to him from the corner of his eyes, saw that he was not looking at himself, and was eating intently with his head down, while the others were all looking at him. I drink."

Duan Chenfeng stood up as he spoke, picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp, the hot feeling spread from his throat to his whole body.After finishing the drink, the chef looked up at him with a mysterious smile on his lips.

Duan Chenfeng also smiled slightly at the chef. Seeing Duan Chenfeng looking at him, the chef hurriedly lowered his head and continued eating.Oddly enough he didn't drink.

"Okay." Ali filled Duan Chenfeng again at this time, and said happily: "Come, Chenfeng, have another drink."

Duan Chenfeng didn't refuse this time: "Okay, drink." He drank it again.When he drank a glass, Duan Chenfeng felt a faint fragrance in the wine, and he couldn't detect it if he didn't pay attention. This time, he deliberately let the wine stay in his mouth, savoring it slowly, the more tasteful he felt, the more wrong it became.After the wine I drank before entered my body, it suddenly dispersed to my four meridians and eight meridians as if I was looking for something, and then the true energy in my body was unexpectedly out of my control, slowly draining away, more and more come less and less.

At this time, the sound of a boat sailing suddenly appeared around, very weak, as if it was rushing here, Wang Qiang looked at the dark sea, and asked doubtfully: "What's going on, why is there the sound of a boat sailing."

A sailor-like servant next to him was lying on the deck, listening with ears. After a while, he stood up with a panicked look on his face, and said, "Master, it sounds like there are many robber ships coming to us. The hungry direction is coming."

"What's going on, why do the robbers know we're here." His face showed anger and confusion.

A painful expression appeared on Duan Chenfeng's face, and he said word by word: "Because there are traitors on the boat." After finishing speaking, he fell down. Wang Li next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly supported him, and shouted worriedly: "Chenfeng, What’s wrong with you."

Wang Qiang also showed a nervous expression, and said, "Little brother, what's wrong with you."

"Because he was poisoned." The chef said something surprising when people were puzzled.

Wang Li raised his head, looked at the chef, and asked, "A Dong, how do you know that?"

Wang Qiang was obviously much smarter than Wang Li. Looking at the fallen Duan Chenfeng, he said with some guilt: "He fell down." He pointed at A Dong.

"Hehe!" Adong smiled with satisfaction: "People say that the eldest son of the Wang family is very good at doing business, but he is so smart. Yes, I poisoned him. The poison in him is the number one poison in the cultivation world—— Liuxiangsan. Also, my name is not Adong, but my real name is Zhang Dongliang, a member of the bandits, and I came to you because of this ship's magic weapon." He pointed to some goods piled up on the deck.

"Liuxiangsan?" After Wang Li heard it, he asked inexplicably, "What is Liuxiangsan?"

Wang Qiang replied in despair: "It's colorless and odorless, Liuxiangsan that slowly loses true energy."

"That's right, if he doesn't get the antidote before the true energy in his body disappears, he will be a useless person." Zhang Dongliang laughed out loud at this point.

"Zhang Dongliang, I'm fighting with you." Wang Li ran up to him angrily when he heard it, and was about to make a move, but when he stretched out his hand in the air, he realized that he couldn't use any strength. He wondered, "What's the matter, why did I Can't use your own strength?"

Zhang Dongliang opened Wang Li's hand that stopped in mid-air, and said contemptuously: "Because you are also poisoned, everyone knows that Liuxiang powder is used against cultivators, but they don't know that Liuxiang powder is also useful for ordinary people. It will make you lose all the power in your body in a short period of time, because the price of Liuxiang powder is too high, so no one uses them to deal with you ordinary people, if this kid didn't appear suddenly today, I would not use this thing."

At this time, Wang Qiang only wanted to save Duan Chenfeng, so he said: "How can you teach me the antidote? I know you want this boat. We will leave it to you. Please let this brother go. He is innocent. .”

Zhang Dongliang shook his head, and said calmly: "Now you are not qualified to negotiate terms with us."

At this time, Wang Li understood part of the whole story, but there were still many puzzles. He asked, "I don't understand. You could easily kill us before, why wait until now?"

Zhang Dongliang said with a smile: "The magical artifacts on your ship are secretly protected by so many masters of cultivation, what a joke we are doing."

"So you forced us to an uninhabited sea area, and then killed us, so that the world will not suspect that you did it, and they will think that our ship encountered a storm at sea and sank at the bottom of the sea." Wang Qiang analyzed Said.

"Yes, you are very smart, but you are still going to die." Having said that, Zhang Dongliang looked at the dots of light in the sea under the night and several robber ships that were approaching, and smiled happily: "Let you live for a while , After the robber brothers come, we have finished moving things, and since we live together for such a long time, I will give you a ride."
