Chapter 443: Sailing
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Within a few days, Li Ji quietly left Fanghu Island and began his journey again.
This time, he changed to a merchant ship, which was not the first departure from Fanghu Island, but from Jianshao Island, thousands of miles away, and the destination was the farther Fanjing Island, the big island where the mountain gate of Atonandzong was located.
Because of the favorable topography of the Thousand Islands, the shipping industry is extremely developed, and the boat manufacturing has reached a very high height, and it is not uncommon for giant ships with two or three thousand materials to be used here; Merchant ships are also very flexible in their operations, rarely making one-way trips from one island to another, but mostly traveling tens of thousands of miles, stopping at dozens of islands along the way, replenishing food and fresh water, and loading and unloading cargo and special products.
Of course, such an itinerary is not something that ordinary ship owners can arrange on their own, in the Thousand Islands region, there is a large alliance of ship societies responsible for the operation of ships and ports, in terms of strength, only under the Atho Nanzong, Genting, it is just an organization of pure interests, and it is just a belief that is not inherited.
The merchant ship that Li Ji took was a large passenger and cargo merchant ship under the shipyard alliance, and the itinerary almost traversed the entire Kuril Islands, because there was a docking demand on Fanghu Island, so Li Ji was able to get a first-class cabin on it.
He came up anonymously, due to security considerations, the long-voyage merchant ship is particularly strict in the identity of the guests, but as the landlord of Fanghu Island, what is the difficulty of warding off evil spirits and wanting to make a fake? Therefore, all these measures are only for the mortal people, and they are basically useless for the monks.
But then again, how many monks are willing to endure the slowness of the seagoing ship? Flying fast and freely by yourself, and there is no risk, why bother to stay up with mortals?
Mortals who can afford this kind of ocean-going merchant ships are basically either rich or expensive, and most of the poor will choose those small and medium-sized cargo ships of four or five hundred materials to run near the sea, and the Thousand Islands region is a shallow sea, with limited wind and waves, and medium-sized ships of five hundred materials are enough.
The big ship naturally has the pomp of the big ship, not only the decoration is luxurious, the equipment is complete, and the most important thing is that there are monks on the ship to protect them, the monks come from the ship society alliance, the anti-Kraken is false, and the anti-talent is true.
In the Kuril Domain, there are no pure pirates, and once this kind of eye-catching profession is discovered, it is basically a fate of being surrounded and suppressed, and the two big factions will not allow such an organization to exist in a bright and bright way for the sake of their own face.
Although there are no professional pirates, from another point of view, almost all of the Xiuzhen sect are pirates! Whether it is the behavior of the sect or the behavior of the monks themselves, such robberies have been repeatedly prohibited, and they have never changed for tens of thousands of years.
It's just that like some regular sects, such as warding off evil spirits, imperial swords, Mingjianyu, etc., they have their own heritage, shell farms, territories and populations, and they have very few opportunities to play pirates, and the sects are not allowed; Others, such as the likes of Dagu Mountain, are not good at business and have a short inheritance, so they are more keen to rely on looting to make some small fortunes, but no matter who does this kind of thing, it is necessary to hide their whereabouts and change their identities, otherwise once the bottom is revealed, everyone will be unlucky.
Li Ji's upper class cabin is luxuriously laid, although the area is not large, but there are all kinds of equipment, and the bed is laid out, all of which are brand new and unused, such a service was only available on that kind of luxury cruise ship in the previous life, right?
There are also special cabins on merchant ships, and I heard that there are also maids waiting, that is, the waiters also warm the bed, Li Ji planned to try it, but unfortunately the special class is limited, and it has already been full, which is also a pity.
He has no cleanliness in this regard, but he has his own principles, for example, he would rather spend money to have fun and lift his pants and not admit it, rather than be contaminated with a female cultivator like Fangju Shuangyi, but he doesn't want to involve too much, but it has nothing to do with Shuangyi's strange taste.
Tofu Zhuang has been away for more than 20 years, and another 40 years will be the next reincarnation, and he really doesn't want to carry too much emotionally, not to mention that there is still an Enron now.
The days of sailing are a little boring, and Li Ji is not interested in making friends with those big names among mortals, it is completely unnecessary, now that I know each other, I am afraid that when we meet again, I can only see each other's descendants, the gap between immortals and mortals is not easy to smooth, and the more emotional investment is too much, the more sad it is, and it is useless to practice.
Therefore, it is easy for monks to enter the red dust, and since they have entered, of course, they must devote themselves wholeheartedly, otherwise there is no point; But it is difficult to get out of the red dust, it is not a matter of saying go, you need to give up a lot of things, family, love, friendship, brotherhood...... If one is not handled well, the mood collapses, and everything is over!
Li Ji will not deliberately devote himself to Hongchen, he hopes that he has never left Hongchen...... He doesn't want to one day cultivate himself into a stone without feelings, likes and dislikes, so when he can, he always likes to roll in the red dust, search for food, taste famous wine, and go to entertainment places to find chicks, which makes him feel that he is living a real life.
He likes to be close to him, to experience the life of mortals face to face, but he never throws himself into it, this is his way of experiencing, whether it will be effective only God knows, he is happy.
Therefore, the travelers on the merchant ship knew that there was another strange man on the ship, who was not very talkative, but liked to listen, curious about every new thing on board, even how the sailors set sail and how to anchor, and what he was most willing to do was to stand at the highest point where the merchant ship allowed the guests to move, and look blankly at the sea, sometimes for a whole day.
So there were rumors, scientific research failures, emotional disputes, brothers' walls, etc., and so on, there were good people to preach to him the philosophy of life, and there was a wealthy businessman who lived in a special class directly pushed the handmaid to him, saying that the spring breeze was once, and he forgot all the sorrows, so that he couldn't cry or laugh.
Well-wishers still account for the majority.
After a long time, it is not strange to see, everyone finally determined that this person is not the kind of person who is ready to jump into the sea at any time, and slowly lost interest, and the trip was slowly passed in this trivial way, every time he arrived at a new place, there were constantly guests getting off the ship, and there were constantly new guests making up, and slowly, Li Ji became the longest passenger of this merchant ship, and no one was curious about him anymore.
From Jianshao Island to Fanjing Island, the sea ship will travel for about half a year, which is not very difficult for the sailors, because there are more than a dozen ports to dock, and there are no worries about freshwater vegetables and vegetables, but such a long distance is only seven or eight days away for monks, especially sword cultivators.
With such a comparison of time, it is conceivable that there would be no monks on the ship except for one or two guarding monks.
Two months later, more than halfway through the voyage, it was a relatively empty sea, the islands in front and behind were seven or eight days away, and five monks flew in the sky, covered with their heads and faces, and knew without asking that the pirates were coming.
