Chapter 33: New Year's Bonfire on the Sea
The last day of the year 9949 in the Tenryu calendar.
The Yuyang sailed smoothly on the boundless sea, heading towards the Ancient Immortal Mansion, getting closer and closer.
Moshu looked boredly at the seascape outside the boat, the scenery on the sea, when I first saw it, I felt that it was magnificent, but after looking at it for a long time, it became a blue with no new ideas, and at this time, it was even darker outside the window, and it was already night.
Moshu turned his head, saw Yue Haoming meditating in the room, and sighed, this guy is simply a cultivator, that is, he doesn't like to read, he doesn't like to sleep, and he has no interest in having fun, this kind of life is simply dark.
"Ahh, go out and get some air, right?" Moshu asked.
Yue Haoming didn't even open his eyes, and he was not moved in the slightest.
Moshu sighed helplessly, shook his head and walked out of the cabin and walked to the bow of the boat.
The deck of a 50-zhang ship is about 10 zhang, and the end is extremely open, and under the mast of the bow of the ship, there is a tall man.
The sea breeze blew in his face, and the man poured it into his mouth with a jar of wine.
"Singing about wine, how much life is!" Moshu looked at the scene in front of him and felt something.
The man turned around and laughed: "What a song about wine, how much life is!" Come on, let's drink together! As he spoke, the man threw the jar in his hand over.
Moshu took it with both hands, and almost couldn't stand under his feet, why is this jar so heavy, no less than a hundred catties, just now I saw Brother Xiang flipping it with one hand so lightly, Brother Xiang is really powerful.
Xiang Gong didn't notice Moshu's embarrassment, he turned around again, facing the sea with a deep gaze.
Moshu walked over with the wine jar and stood with Xiang Gong, each thinking about it, silent for a long time.
"Brother Xiang, why have you been in the academy for ten years, with your qualifications, you can leave a long time ago." Moshu asked suddenly, when he didn't know him before, he thought that he was not qualified enough, but now that he is familiar with it, he found that the breath of Xiang Gong is natural, and he can clearly step into the totem realm at any time, but he is reluctant to break through, and he has been in this small school for ten years, Moshu is very puzzled, who doesn't want to break through early, and then he can go out early to make contributions and become famous.
"I haven't completed my cultivation yet." Xiang Gong replied.
Not perfect? How is it possible, it is said that when he entered the mansion, he had already been transformed into four cultivators, and with his qualifications, it was absolutely impossible to stay for ten years. Mo Shu looked at Xiang Gong puzzled.
"Ordinary people think that as long as they have cultivated to the fifth turn and the five elements are complete, they can condense the totem." Xiang Gong looked at the sea and said leisurely: "Others say that I have stayed in the Five Elements Realm for ten years, how stupid it is, my peers were far inferior to me back then, and now they have the cultivation of the elephant in the totem, and I still stay in the Five Elements Realm, but they don't know, now every bit of my accumulation in the Five Elements Realm, every drop of precipitation, will become a strong cornerstone in the future, these ten years, by no means wasted." ”
How much loneliness can you endure to reap how much success? The ink book was shaken.
"So, even if you can break through in the future, you have to calm down and think, are you really complete? Can't it really go any further? You know, if you break through, you can never make up for what you missed, then you may never, ever be a little worse than others, but you never know where the difference is. Xiang Gong looked at the ink book with a straight face.
Moshu nodded, he knew that this was the most valuable experience of his predecessors, and he would definitely remember it.
"Childe, Moshu, what are you talking about?" The voice that suddenly sounded was from Koto, and I saw that Koto also walked to the deck.
When he was introduced the day before yesterday, Xiang Gong said that Jiang Dong was his younger brother, but after Jiang Dong's title, Mo Shu knew that Jiang Dong was originally Xiang Gong's domestic servant, but the two grew up together and were like brothers.
"Let's talk about the New Year." Mo Shu replied with a smile, yes, there is still an hour, it will be 9950 soon, and it will also be the 9950th year of the founding of the Tianlong Dynasty.
"yes, it's a new year soon." Jiang Dong also walked over, looking at the vast sea of stars in the sky, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Don't be so sentimental, there is wine tonight and drunk tonight, it seems that there is still a lot of wine in this jar, we must get drunk today." Moshu shook the jar with difficulty.
Xiang Gong carried the wine jar with one hand, and the wine jar was as heavy as Mount Tai in the hand of Moshu, and it was as light as a feather in his hand. "Hehe, there are hundreds of catties in it, and it won't be a problem to get you two drunk."
Hundred pounds? It seems that this wine jar is still a talisman, Brother Xiang is so arrogant, even the wine jar used is a talisman.
"How can there be wine without food, wait for me to look for it." Mo Shu said that his divine consciousness was found in the Green Dragon Ring, because he lived in the valley, and his Green Dragon Ring had a lot of food prepared all year round, and after a while, the ground was full of a pile of food, dried fruits, fruits, vegetables, and meat.
It's just that those vegetables and meat are all raw.
After Moshu took out the ingredients, he kept pulling out things, such as branches of evergreen wood, fire crystal beads, iron sticks, and so on.
Xiang Gong and Jiang Dong were dumbfounded.
Xiang Gong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "There are so many treasures in your Green Dragon Ring." ”
Mo Shu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Because there are only two people in the family, Ah Hao and me, and it is inconvenient to cook, basically they eat a lot of barbecue, which is convenient." ”
Jiang Dong stammered, "So, you, you, you, are you planning to barbecue?" ”
Moshu nodded, "The barbecue with wine is excellent." ”
Xiang Gong also agreed, nodding his head and helping to insert the ingredients on the iron skewers.
"But, it's on the boat." Jiang Dong looked helplessly at these two guys who had no common sense at all.
Moshu kicked the plank under his feet, and there was a sound of gold and stone, and it was obvious that the plank under his feet was made of metal, "It's made of iron, it's okay." ”
Xiang Gong patted Jiang Dong on the shoulder to reassure him, and then the three of them began to prepare busily.
"Eh, what are you doing?"
"Brother, come and help, let's have a bonfire feast." Moshu beckoned Zhu Han to prepare together.
After a while, there was a loud noise on the deck, and several people stopped, and when they looked, a large shadow and a petite shadow appeared at the same time.
Moshu blinked, and on the entire ship, the only one who could have such a big movement was Shi Shi.
Mo Shu looked at it carefully, and the small figure next to the huge figure was not who Fang Jiangli was.
"What are you doing?" The voice of a woman who is like a bell will naturally not be the one who will leave.
Shi Shi looked at the four men in front of him curiously, either holding chicken wings or vegetables in his hands, looking very weird.
"Well, we're going to have a bonfire feast, do you want to be together?" Moshu explained to Shi Shi, but her eyes looked at Fang Jiangli, since she got on the boat, she had never been out of the room, nor had she said a word, Moshu was not good to come to the door rashly to disturb, she was worried, she always felt that after the assessment, she seemed to have a heavy heart, and her eyes were always melancholy.
Fang Jiangli frowned slightly, making a bonfire on the boat, which was not good, while Shi Shi was smiling, her favorite food was barbecue.
"Okay, okay, my favorite barbecue." Shi Shi approached step by step, and the ship's board shook violently.
Fang Jiangli asked hesitantly, "Will it catch fire?" ”
"Probably not, the deck is made of metal, and we'll be careful." Moshu explained.
"If you're afraid of fire, look for me." Shi Shi patted his chest and said, "Have you forgotten that I'm a formation master, set up a small fireproof array next to the bonfire, and keep it from burning." ”
Moshu's eyes lit up, yes, this is a good idea, but you don't have to worry about how to play now.
Shi Shi grabbed a handful of crystal coins from his arms, smelted them, and then placed them on the ground to form a formation, which happened to form a large circle.
"That's it?" Moshu asked puzzled, it didn't seem to be much.
Shi Shi nodded: "It's as simple as that, this is just a small formation, how complicated can it be, the crystal coin will always release the water power, so that the temperature in the circle will not continue to grow and cause fire, don't say, let's make a fire quickly." ”
Moshu stacked the evergreen wood, then put a few fire crystal beads into it, and then lit it with a flint talisman, and a bonfire was lit like this.
"Wow, what are you doing, don't call me!" The fire had just been lit, and another eldest lady appeared.
is another stark contrast between a tall and a petite, and this is Bai Qianqian and Han Qingrong.
"Miss Han, you're here too, I just thought about whether to call you." Moshu greeted warmly.
"I just thought about it, I just thought about it, but I haven't thought about it yet." Bai Qianqian muttered unreasonably.
Moshu was a little embarrassed, tonight's incident was indeed a temporary idea, and the fire hadn't even risen, where would he think of calling someone.
What no one noticed was that Jiang Dong looked at Bai Qianqian's gaze with some disgust, while Xiang Gong had a complicated gaze.
Han Qingrong smiled apologetically, this girl is so headless and brainless.
At this moment, another pair of uninvited guests arrived.
"What are you doing?" Such annoying words can only be said by Ying Yaoting.
Moshu smiled bitterly, why don't everyone usually come out, but when they come out, they are all together.
"What is this?" Luan Ye looked at it for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Burning the fire?" ”
"A barbecue, to be exact." Ink corrected him.
"Barbecue?" Luan Ye asked puzzledly, he grew up in a wealthy family, where had he seen such a commoner's thing.
Mo Shu nodded: "Why hasn't you seen it?" Do you want to be together? ”
Luan Ye was a little eager to try, he looked at Ying Yaoting, and Ying Yaoting said disdainfully: "It's all some untouchable tricks. But his eyes glanced at the campfire from time to time.
"Hmph, love doesn't come or not! What do you tell them to do? Bai Qianqian snorted coldly, and pulled Han Qingrong towards the bonfire.
Mo Shu ignored Bai Qianqian's words, and said to Luan Ye: "Do you want to try it, it's delicious." ”
Luan Ye was greatly moved, and looked at Ying Yaoting again, after all, he came with him, if Ying Yaoting didn't go, he would be embarrassed to leave Ying Yaoting.
"If you want to go, go there." Ying Yaoting said impatiently, and then turned around to leave.
"Young Master Ying, let's stay together, it's the New Year." Mo Shu looked at Fang Jiangli in amazement, it was amazing that she could actually speak.
Ying Yaoting stopped, turned around and saw Fang Jiangli's eyes, why, why was there undisguised pity and sympathy in it? Surprisingly, Ying Yaoting didn't get angry, nor did he speak, but slowly walked to the bonfire and sat down.
Moshu looked around, originally just wanted the three of them to drink, but I didn't expect it to be all here, by the way, Ah Hao was still in the room, Mo Shu patted his head and shouted: "I'm going to call Ah Hao and Teacher Shuang." ”
said that he hurriedly ran back to the room, but before he arrived at the room, he saw Shuang Ling standing at the door of his room, with a solemn expression, as if he was hesitating to knock on the door.
Moshu shouted, "Teacher Shuang, I was about to look for you." ”
"Huh?" Shuangling was taken aback, as if the little girl had accidentally broken her heart.
"We're going to have a bonfire on the deck, and when everyone is here, it's up to you and Ahao." Moshu explained, pushing open the door while worrying, Teacher Shuang shouldn't mind if we lit a fire on the boat, right?
Frost Ling didn't notice this in the slightest, the door opened, and at a glance she saw Yue Haoming meditating.
Shuang Ling looked at Yue Haoming, her expression was unpredictable, Mo Shu turned his back to the door and didn't see it, he walked straight to Yue Haoming and patted him on the shoulder: "Ah! Time to eat! "The moon is bright and there is no movement.
Moshu shouted again: "It's time to eat!" Time to eat! Ahh! ”
This time, Yue Haoming opened his eyes leisurely and looked at him expressionlessly.
"I'm willing to wake up, hurry, everyone is waiting for us." As soon as Mo Shu pulled Yue Haoming over, he walked out of the room, and said as he walked: "Teacher Shuang, let's go over together, everyone is here." ”
A bonfire, reflecting everyone's faces were red, during which Shuangling kept looking at the expressionless Yue Haoming and stopped talking; Moshu kept staring at Fang Jiangli, but Fang Jiangli didn't know what he was thinking, his expression was gloomy; Xiang Gong's gaze glanced at Bai Qianqian from time to time; The crowd is diverse.
And in the roaring bonfire, the new year has arrived.
