The Sutra of Nothingness

"Okay, one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones means one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones. Then when can we set off?" Shangguan Duo immediately agreed.

"Tomorrow! We will come here to look for you early tomorrow morning. After all, it will take a certain amount of time for us to prepare to leave the ship." The sailor opened his mouth and said. In fact, he never thought that you would agree. He just wanted to increase the price infinitely to make you give up this trip. Go to sea. But your unhesitating look and your straightforward attitude of agreeing deeply touched his heart. With so much given, he could rest for a while and not be afraid anymore.

"Okay, let's drink now, and let's have a good time!" Shangguan Duo felt happy when he saw that the matter was resolved, and immediately pulled the sailor to take a seat.

"Boss, since we have agreed, we will not drink this wine again, otherwise it will delay your trip!" The sailor clasped his fists and bowed, then turned and left, and the rest of the people followed.

"Uh... Boss, do you provide accommodation here?" It was Shangguan Duo's turn to be dumbfounded. He didn't expect the Russian sailor to be so honest.

The boss was also stunned by his question. The two of them just looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They even forgot to bring up the wine that the boss had cooked in his hand.

"Uh, boss, forget it if it's not there. Let's go out and look for it again!" Shangguan Duo said immediately, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ah, no, no, no, our accommodation here is to sleep in this shop. We will not charge too much. We are just aggrieved to a few distinguished guests!" the boss responded.

"No grievance, no grievance! Please ask the boss to heat up a few more bottles of wine to warm us up at night." Shangguan Duo replied hurriedly.

It was really cold in the cold harbor in the middle of the night, and the cold wind that brought mental damage was blowing. If the shop hadn't been strong enough, I'm afraid such a strong wind would have blown everyone away.

The boss was also afraid that they would not be able to sleep apart, so he specially moved the table off the hot kang, and he lay on the small kang in the back room.

Soon, the night passed, and the boss got up early the next morning to make breakfast. After all, he also knew that the sailors would set off at dawn, so he would naturally come to call them very early.

"Thank you boss for the hot porridge. There was a lot of trouble last night. There are 800 low-grade spiritual stones here. Although it's not a lot, I would like to ask the boss to accept it as a token of our gratitude." After Shangguan Duo took a sip of the hot porridge, he felt a rush all over his body. warm.

It can be felt that in order to prevent these thinly-clad people from being cold, the boss specially added some elixirs to the porridge.

"Guest, you are giving too much. How about this? I still have some clothes to keep out the cold. Can you take them with me? Otherwise, I will feel uneasy after accepting this money. They are all old people. I hope you don't dislike these old clothes!" The boss was also an honest man. Although he did not refuse Shangguan Duo's spiritual stone, he rummaged through a pile of clothes for them and separated them into men and women.

"Thank you very much, boss!" Shangguan Duo said in thanks.

"You must be careful when going to Cam Ranh Island. It's so cold here mainly because it's close to the North Pole, and Cam Ranh Island is the big island closest to the North Pole, so it will definitely be even colder. Frostbite can really happen over there, especially If these two female guests don't pay attention to keeping warm, they will have to be carried back to thaw." The boss consoled them with sincere words.

"Little brother, it's time to go!" Before Shangguan Duo could say thanks, the sailor entered the store first, shouting loudly.

"Boss, prepare some hot wine for us. We are going to drink on the ship!" Seeing that they were about to set off, Shangguan Duo hurriedly said to the boss.

"Hey, it's been prepared a long time ago! I knew you needed it, so I heated it up early in the morning. You can drink it directly when you get on the boat!" The boss got up and gave Shangguan Duo and the others several wooden boxes, which contained the things that the boss had packed. of mulled wine.

"How much, boss?" Shangguan Duo asked hurriedly.

"No need, this is enough!" The boss slowly stood up and walked to the back room, raising the storage bag in his right hand and replied.

Not long after, a large ship parked in the port started and slowly headed north. On the ship, except for the sailors who were busy in the energy room, everyone was called into the small space of the captain's cabin by Shangguan Duo.

"Everyone, I bought you some hot wine before I left. Let's try it quickly. You couldn't taste it yesterday when you came here. Today, while you have nothing to do, let's have a taste!" Shangguan Duo hugged him all the way. He said as the box was slowly displayed in front of them.

"Since the guests invited us to drink, don't be polite, let's drink!" It was the sailor who agreed to Shangguan Duo yesterday who spoke. Only then did the other sailors accept Shangguan Duo's kindness. After a closer look, this group of people recognized it. Surprisingly, more than half of them were the same people who came together yesterday.

The days of sailing are boring. The boring life coupled with the "swaying" day after day will make people who are used to staying on land start to vomit after a short time. The good thing is that as monks, they can suppress the uncomfortable feeling with their spiritual power, so after drinking, everyone fell into practice, and the sailors returned to their posts.

Tang Douhua, who had led the navy into battle, was not afraid of this. Standing on the deck of the ship, she was in a daze, her thoughts drifting to the capital of the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away.

I remember back then when she was so high-spirited, pointing her spear, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers followed her into battle. But now that she has a family, Ren is running around, which is not much different from the previous days. She doesn't know whether her choice is right or wrong. Anyway, she is still free and happy now, and she has no regrets.

But the day she boarded the ship reminded her of the dream she had when she was suspended from death, especially the feeling at the moment of her death. It was like ice penetrating into the bone marrow, stirring up the hair all over her body.

"Woo~! Woo~! Woo~!" While she was still dazed, a siren sounded. It was made from specially made horns, and the sound was rich and penetrating. As long as it is blown, everyone on the whole ship can hear it.

Just when the alarm sounded, the hull suddenly shook violently. If Tang Douhua hadn't reacted and retreated quickly, she might have fallen into the sea at this moment.

"Douhua? Douhua! Douhua!" Soon, Shangguan Duo's cry rang out. As soon as he finished practicing, he found that the people around him were missing.

He was so anxious that he jumped up and looked around, but Tang Douhua, who heard Shangguan Duo's anxious shouts, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and quietly enjoyed the feeling.

On the other side, Chao Wendao had already rushed to the captain's room to inquire about the situation.

"The one-horned manatee has discovered our ship and is attacking now! Those guys are rough and thick-skinned. Our attack will not cause much damage to them. On the contrary, the puncture damage caused by its single horn to the bottom of the ship is fatal!" Captain! explained a group of people gathered in the room.

"Then what should we do now?" Chao Wendao asked anxiously. After all, if the ship is damaged and they enter the cold sea water, not to mention the consumption of spiritual energy to resist the severe cold, just the amount of energy hidden in the sea will There are enough sea beasts to kill them thousands of times.
