Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

In the Black Wind Sea, at the edge of the Red-Black Trench, a three-sail fishing boat was rising and falling in the waves.

The three sails of the fishing boat were all furled, leaving only three bare masts, creaking in the wind.

Under the main mast, a muscular man with a worried look on his face said, "Shen Xiangu, our boat can't hold on any longer. It may fall apart at any time. Do you think we should go back and repair it first?"

The person who spoke was Liu Boer, who had been waiting in the sea for more than a month. He had said this countless times, but to no avail.

Beside the ship, Shen Chenqing faced the sea, his face a little haggard, and responded as usual: "Wait and see, what if Master Zhao and the others come back and can't find us?"

"What are you coming back for..." Liu Bo'er looked helpless, but said, "Shen Xiangu, you saw what happened yesterday. This place is extremely evil. If the boat sinks, we will all be buried in the belly of the fish."

Shen Chenqing's expression changed slightly, and her red lips slightly opened, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Both sides fell into silence for a moment, with only the sound of waves hitting the hull.

After a while, Liu Boer didn't give up and clasped his fists again and said, "Shen Xiangu, Heizi and I are both mortals. We have wives and children at home. They all depend on us for food. Please have mercy on us."

This time, Shen Chenqing finally couldn't hold back, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Three days. If they still don't come back after three days, we'll go back." She said it firmly, but when she turned her head, tears began to well up in her eyes.

A beauty's tears can break a man's heart. Although Liu Boer couldn't bear it, he still said, "Okay, then wait for three more days!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly stepped back. He was so sad that he couldn't bear it.

After Liu Boer left, Shen Chenqing wiped his tears with his sleeves and sobbed, "What a loser! With such a character, how can you climb the avenue!"

After a while, Shen Chenqing finally stopped crying. Just as she was about to return to the warehouse, she suddenly heard Heizi's voice on the observation deck shouting, "Oh no, the water monster is coming. We are all going to die."

Such shouting has occurred many times this month, especially in recent days.

Heizi is a mortal after all. It is not easy for him not to completely collapse in a place where even cultivators dare not easily set foot.

"Why are you panicking? Let me see!" Liu Boer shouted loudly and leaped onto the mast.

As soon as he climbed to the middle of the mast, he saw a flash of silver light underwater on the right side of the ship, and something was about to break through the water.

"Oh no, could it be a silverback shark!" Liu Boer cried out in his heart.

Gradually, the foreign object became larger and larger, until one day it jumped out of the water.

The sword-like tip of the door panel poked out of the water, followed by a red local dog.

"Woof...Woof...Woof" the dog started barking immediately when it saw Liuboer.

"Why are you yelling? Haven't you seen anyone before?" Qian Xiaoyi immediately rushed out of the water.

Liu Bo'er's panicked expression suddenly turned into a smile, and he shouted loudly: "Master, it turned out to be you!"

On the fishing boat, Shen Chenqing heard the sound and immediately rushed to the side of the boat. When he saw the two people on the flying swords, the tears that had just stopped not long ago burst out again.

But this time, he was smiling.

"Master Zhao, you're back!" Shen Chenqing asked softly, with tenderness in his eyes.

"I'm back. I kept you waiting for a long time. It took a lot of effort, but I got some results." Zhao Rui landed on the deck and retracted the flying sword.

On the side, Qian Xiaoyi was in high spirits. Seeing Zhao Rui's modesty, he immediately flattered him and started to brag: "It was more than just a trick. This time it was extremely dangerous and almost fatal. But your Master Zhao's prestige, humph! You wouldn't dare to believe it if I told you."

Liu Bo'er's eyes rolled and he immediately added: "Master Qian, can you tell us about it? Let us mortals broaden our horizons."

Shen Chenqing's charming eyes immediately turned to Qian Xiaoyi, and his anticipation was evident in his words.

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Qian Xiaoyi stroked his beard and described his experiences along the way with some exaggeration.

He was quite good at picking out the key points, like the plot of "Once the Splitting Light Sword comes out, a hundred thousand people can't do anything to me!" He talked about it in great detail, trying to make Zhao Rui into a peerless swordsman.

As for picking up the storage bag, he discounted it, saying only that he obtained a martial arts technique and a precious sword, without mentioning any other treasures.

Of course, he never mentioned the embarrassing incident of him touching dog poop.

Everybody was mesmerized by the performance, and when it ended, Liu Bo'er and Hei Zi clapped their hands in approval, with a look of deep enjoyment on their faces.

Zhao Rui stood aside. Although it was something he had experienced himself, he listened with great interest.

The ability to achieve such an effect was naturally a skill that Qian Xiaoyi had acquired through decades of intrigue. How to report the same thing in a brilliant way without distorting the facts and making the listeners feel comfortable, this had been played out countless times in the Holy Palace of Yan State.

Shen Chenqing was quite familiar with this kind of routine, but she put all her thoughts into expressing her longing.

"Well, we have to let this blockhead know how much we miss him." Shen Chenqing thought for a moment and did not mention anything else. He just told the story of how the Black Dragon Whale was killed by lightning yesterday and how various monks fought over its body.

In this way, although she didn't say any sentimental words like "I miss you", she subtly expressed her feelings: "Look, I'm risking my life to wait for you, so why don't you like me?"

After Shen Chenqing finished speaking, Liu Boer and Hei Zi naturally did not want to be left behind, and they also scratched their ears and cheeks to express their emotions:

"I was so scared at the time. I didn't make any money, and I almost died."

"It's a miracle that our ship didn't fall apart despite all the chaos. This must be because you guys have a deep affinity with the immortals. I want to bring honor to you as well..."

The two of them were talking attentively, but Zhao Rui fell into deep thought. He remembered the lesson Lu Xuan had taught him a long time ago.

Going the way goes for ordinary people, going against the way goes for immortals. After practicing for a certain period of time, there will inevitably be three disasters and nine difficulties, and thunder tribulation is the first of the three disasters.

Could the unusual movement on the Black Wind Sea yesterday be due to the Foundation Establishment Pill?

After some thought, Zhao Rui decided that when he returned to Jinzhu Town, he must carefully review the information and conduct a thorough research.

Everyone chatted for a while, and as the sun was setting, Zhao Rui took the lead and said, "Everyone, we have been out for more than a month, and I believe everyone is very tired. This place is full of dangers, how about we go back first?"

"It is indeed not advisable to stay here for long. Heizi, quickly raise the sails and start the boat. Let's go." Liu Boer immediately stepped forward.

"okay!"

The two of them moved swiftly and headed straight for the mainsail, but before they had taken a few steps, Zhao Rui said, "No need, I think this boat is about to fall apart. When we get back, I'll give you a new one."

Liu Bo'er was confused and was about to ask when he saw Zhao Rui move his sword finger slightly and summon the flying sword behind him.

When the flying sword was unsheathed, it was just an ordinary weapon four feet long, but after it reached the air, it immediately began to grow larger until it turned into a giant sword as wide as a door panel.

"Come up everyone." Zhao Rui said.

"Woof!" The dog barked, then jumped lightly onto the flying sword.

"I forgot how they got back!" Liu Boer suddenly realized and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master. We are very lucky to be able to ride on the magic weapon of the immortal."

A group of people jumped onto the flying swords one after another, leaving Shen Chenqing standing in front of the flying sword, looking timid.

She glanced at Zhao Rui several times, hoping that he could help her.

For a long time, Zhao Rui kept looking straight ahead, indifferent.

"You blockhead! I won't talk to you in three days." Shen Chenqing snorted coldly, leaped up and jumped into the middle of the flying sword.

Seeing this, Qian Xiaoyi smiled knowingly, leaned over and touched Gouzi's head and said, "What a hypocrite! You're mumbling down there, worrying that Qing'er has been waiting for too long!"

"Brother Gou, you don't know how many treasures we gave up. Let me calculate! Those steel-toothed octopuses must have cost at least 17 or 18 pots of purple gold beads."

When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice so that only Shen Chenqing who was standing beside him could hear it.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, are you telling the truth?" Shen Chenqing moved closer to Gou Zi.

"How could that be false? When have I ever lied to you?"

"Oh, then I don't want to believe it!"
