Chapter 965: A Seaside Village
A small village by the sea, it has been fishing for generations.
It's just that I don't know why, in recent months, there have always been villagers who have never returned.
It stands to reason that for a family who makes a living from fishing, this kind of accident is normal.
But when there are more people who don't return, it will be abnormal.
On this day, another family hung a white cloth in front of the door, which represented the death of someone in the family in the rules of the mortal world.
The women wept and cried in front of the door, and there were several peasant women around her, who seemed to persuade them.
The two men not far away couldn't help but wrinkle their eyebrows and sigh.
One of them had extremely rough hands, and at first glance he knew that it had been caused by a long period of exposure to the wind and sun, and for the first time, one of his faces also looked weathered, and he was only in his twenties, but he was already forty years old.
Coupled with the sad look on his face, it seems to be full of vicissitudes.
Holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, he looked in the direction of the sea, and sighed with his companion next to him, "I don't know how long this will last." You said that our sea area was fine last year, but what is happening now? ”
The companion next to him leaned lazily against the stone, and directly buttoned the straw hat, covering his entire face, "Probably the blessing of the immortal has lost its effect." ”
The cultivation realm is struggling, not only for monks, but also for these mortals.
They don't have enough strength to fight against things that are beyond their ability, such as demon plants and monsters, and those who can survive in such a region can be said to have their own opportunities.
The words reached the ears of two men dressed in different ways.
Of course, this one was dressed differently, but compared to the villagers, in the cultivation realm, it was actually just the most ordinary Dao robe.
The two men were a man and a woman, the man had a good face and a casual demeanor, and the woman wore a white hat.
Seeing a tea shed not far away, the woman pointed ahead and gestured to speak there.
"There's a pot of tea. ”
From the accents of the conversation between the two, it is not difficult to hear Chu, these two should not be from the Qinglan Continent.
As the shopkeeper poured water for the two men, he heard the good-looking man ask him, "Do you have any people here who are good at making boats?"
The shopkeeper's hand pouring water paused slightly, causing the originally vertical water flow to swing slightly.
"It's self-existent, it's just ...... You two want to go to sea by boat?"
The man glanced at the boss, and it was this glance that made him discover the surprise in the boss's eyes.
"What, what's wrong?"
The shopkeeper sighed and shook his head, "I advise you two to think twice, this area has not been very calm recently." ”
The two remembered that when they first came, they saw the picture of the woman crying and the picture of talking to the man.
This time, even the woman in white, who had not spoken, couldn't help but lean away and make a look of listening to her ears.
The man put a piece of silver on the table, "Tell me about it." ”
The shop is located in a small fishing village all the year round, although there are also foreign guests to visit, but almost all of the visitors are monks, so the basic ones received are spirit stones, and the copper plates are still a few, not to mention the silver.
For him, although the spirit stone is more valuable than silver, there is nowhere to exchange it, so to survive here, silver is more useful than the spirit stone.
It was also for this reason that his eyes glowed green after seeing that the guest officer had given such a large piece of silver.
The shopkeeper quickly put away the money, and then slowly said about the strange things that happened in the small fishing village in the past few months.
Among them is the part where the fishermen do not return.
As for the woman who was still crying, it was because her husband had gone out and never returned, that she had hung a white canvas in front of the door, and she had a son who was only two years old.
The man's eyes flashed thoughtfully, "When I first came, I heard two villagers mention that there is something about protection, can you tell me what happened?"
The shopkeeper nodded, "You know, there aren't many mortals in this area, just because this place is not a suitable place for mortals to live in the first place.
But we are a group of mortals, where can we go without here, with our legs and feet, even after walking this life, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a place suitable for mortals to live.
Perhaps, our ancestors thought the same thing, so we have stayed here for generations.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, this sea area was even more unstable than it is now, and fishermen did not dare to go too far.
The chief hurriedly withdrew before it was dark, but even so, many people died.
It wasn't until later, when our ancestors saved a cultivator, that the small fishing village finally changed.
In order to repay us, the cultivators did not know what they had done, so that in the sea areas they could explore, there were almost no more lives.
Later, it was passed on by the villagers as the blessing of the cultivators. ”
The white-clothed nun knocked thoughtfully on the table.
It turns out that the reason why the small fishing village was able to survive in this area for so long was because there was a cultivator thousands of years ago, and he didn't know what he had done here, so that the people of the small fishing village had been safe and sound when they went out to fish.
But as for what exactly was done, it's not hard to guess, it's nothing more than an enchantment or a magic weapon.
But now, she sat here and didn't feel either the aura gathering or the barrier wall, and it was obvious that what the cultivator had set up here had been broken.
Probably because of this, accidents keep happening.
You know, without protection, these fishermen are no different from the food of the monsters in the sea.
The man tilted his head slightly, "Do you want to care?"
The woman said coldly, "Go back to the sect as soon as possible." ”
The man smiled meaningfully, "It's just that if you want to leave, someone must be willing to cross the sea." But now the situation is obviously impossible, so you can only ask someone to build a ship.
It's just that the time to build the ship is probably at least a month.
And during this time, I think we can use this to find out the reason, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue, right?"
When the nun heard this, she couldn't help but be a little irritated, "I'm really fed up!
After that, the female cultivator left the tea shed directly, leaving only the male cultivator to continue drinking tea, unhurried, as if enjoying a leisurely life.
The man sat in the teashed for a while, and asked the shopkeeper who could build a ship, before leaving.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, the shopkeeper was a little confused, "Didn't these cultivators all take some flying boat to cross the sea directly?"
It was only as soon as this thought was formed in his mind that he heard the shout of the guest at another table, and the idea that had just been born disappeared in an instant with the shout.
If you want to talk about the flying boat, in fact, the two of them have it. It's just that he was thrown by the nun during the hunt.
The male cultivator thought of what had happened along the way, and the smile on the corner of his lips unconsciously added a little coldness.
Some people never know how much trouble their self-righteousness can cause to others.
At the same time, he couldn't understand how the sect would send Luo Ge to find him.
Yes, this man and woman are none other than Su Shi and Luo Ge from the Haoran Sect of the Haotian Continent.
For the task given to him by the Su family in Haotian Continent, it is now a complete failure.
I just hope that later, that one won't add new difficulties to their return trip.
