An old lady's life

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the sky was covered with heavy snow, and the north wind was howling, making the windows eaves clang. The lights in the rooms of Rong Mansion gradually went out, only some lanterns under the corridor were still bright.

Hongye thought that she hadn't seen wormwood for a long time, so she entered the space of wormwood, and didn't see her in person, but found her flower buds shining brightly, it seemed that wormwood was practicing.

I don't know what stimulated Ai Cao, but she practiced much more diligently than before, and she hasn't seen her for half a month.

Not seeing the wormwood, Hongye turned around and left the space of the wormwood, and entered the space of Lianhua, where she came to explore from time to time, and saw all kinds of rare beasts, even the dinosaurs on the earth, She also saw a group of them, but unfortunately, she couldn't reach the place where the dinosaurs were for the time being. It was because Lianhua saw them curious that she showed them.

Lianhua threw Hongye out of the space. In front of her, Hongye and wormwood could still maintain their spirit bodies, but they couldn't if they were too far away.

Seeing her look like an old monk in samadhi, Hongye felt very discouraged. Are these ancient sages like this?

"I have not become a saint under Hongjun Daozu's sect." Hongye didn't realize that she was muttering to herself, and the words had already been spoken. Lianhua heard the words, and a smile flickered on the corner of her lips.

Hearing Lianhua's words, she wasn't embarrassed either, she floated onto Lianhua's arm and sat there, Lianhua stroking her head in a good mood.

"You seem to be more powerful than the Sanqing sage, why aren't you a sage?" Just ask if you have any questions, this is Hongye's advantage.

Because the cultivation base of Hongye and Wormwood is still young, Lianhua never talked about her personal situation before. At most, she talked about the various times and spaces she has been to and the various situations she has seen, which can be regarded as increasing the experience of the two daughters. .

"Being a saint under Hongjun Daozu's sect is subject to the control of heaven. I don't want to be restrained, so naturally I won't become a saint under Hongjun's sect." Lianhua looked with nostalgia in her eyes, and she stroked Hongye's head, " These things will be told to you slowly after the transformation.”

Hongye pursed her lips, and told her parents to coax the children into doing certain things when they grow up.But Lianhua didn't want to say that she didn't force it, just like she said, now is really not the time.

"Ai Cao has been working hard recently, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Lianhua still smiled and said: "Don't worry about her. It may be because of your two personalities. You cultivated much faster than her. You used to be one small realm behind, but now you are almost two small realms behind. If she doesn't work hard, she will be different from you The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, don't worry, I'll look at her."

Hongye nodded. In that case, she should slow down and spend more time reading in the future.Thinking about it this way, she remembered that she had business tonight.

She coughed before faltering: "Mother, can your consciousness cover the entire planet?"

Lianhua's expression remained calm: "Looking for someone?"

Hongye nodded and explained the situation. She actually didn't want to use such a privilege. After all, mortals have a mortal life, and relying too much on others is not a good thing after all... But looking for Zhou Chao and the others doesn't seem to have much to do with this?

Lianhua listened and nodded, Hongye only saw a white lotus flashing between her eyebrows, and within a cup of tea, Lianhua said: "On the sea near Fusang, about [-] miles away from us Far."

Hongye's eyes lit up, Lianhua looked at her, and said with a smile: "It is the Pacific Ocean next to Japan in later generations. Now Dafeng calls Japan the country of Wa or Fusang. The Pacific Ocean has no name yet, and is called Dongyang by the navigators."

Hongye nodded, silent in her heart, she should read more history books.

"Fifteen ships, each with less than 30 people on board." Lianhua said again, and Hong Ye fell silent when she heard that. She remembered that there were more than 800 people on these fifteen ships when they sailed.

Zhou Chao and others went through a lot of hardships and finally returned to the familiar sea area, but they were robbed by Fuso people in Dongyang. I'm tired, but I'm about to get home, everyone's spirits are high, and this battle may not be lost.

Of course, they can't lose. If they lose, they will die!This time they went to sea, they had already sacrificed a lot of people, but it seems that they can't do it well, so they can only fight a tough battle!

November is the middle of winter, the capital city has already been flying, and this sea is no exception, snowflakes are flying in the air, the sea breeze is blowing, and the cold air is pouring straight into the neck.

Fifteen ships including Zhou Chao were surrounded by ten ships of the other side. If the bows and ammunition were at their peak, they would not be afraid of these Japanese people. They were really running out of ammunition and food. With less fire/guns, this road is almost used up. The bow and arrow were replenished at the last supply point, but they are not as good as the opponent's fire/guns.

Looking at the weapons on the opponent's ship, it is obvious that they have everything they need. This is no ordinary pirate.

"Brother Zhou, what should we do?" Seeing that he would be able to return to Beijing in less than half a month, but he didn't want to be stopped here, the Japanese were really hateful.

"Fight hard, or everyone will die!" A strong sailor next to him gritted his teeth, and he was full of regrets. He survived the wind and rain in the more dangerous ocean. I'm afraid he will not be so lucky this time. up.

The other party smiled arrogantly. They have suffered a lot in the hands of Dafeng's navy these years, and the chances of robbing Dafeng's merchant ships are getting less and less, but they did not expect that it is already November, and there are merchant ships passing by This is a god-sent opportunity, and if you don't rob, you will be sorry for the opportunity given by the Rizhao God.

Zhou Chao and the others couldn't understand the Japanese language they spoke, so they could only see each other's actions from their body language.

Suddenly, the water was rippling, and everyone didn't take it seriously. Isn't it common for the water to move on the sea?However, the arc of this water fluctuation is getting bigger and bigger.

Not only the Japanese were surprised, Zhou Chao and others were also taken aback.

Under the turbulent water waves, the Japanese boat was getting farther and farther away from Zhou Chao and his boat. The Japanese were in a panic and were trying to get the helmsman to lean in the middle. There is no way to do anything, and the direction of each ship is not the same.The Japanese boat was taken far away by the water waves, and the uncontrollable situation disappeared until dawn. This situation caused a group of Japanese people to commit seppuku on the boat and kept praying to the God of Rizhao. They were wrong. In the future He never made a mistake again, but he didn't say what the mistake was.

After Zhou Chao and the others reacted, they started the ship and left quickly. There was also a Japanese ship in the same direction. It would be impossible to make a forest by itself. The people on that ship were afraid. And revenge them?But Zhou Chao and the others just wanted to leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible, so they didn't bother to trouble them.

When they were far away, Zhou Chao and his brothers came back to their senses, as if they had saved their lives.

Under the dark sky, the mist filled the air, and they couldn't see 500 meters ahead. It was already late at night. They were also worried about the Wa country, so they didn't plan to stay in Dongyang. They planned to find an island to stop after passing Dongyang. Come down and rest for an hour or two, don't dare to stay in this meeting, hurry up and leave, and return to the sea area of ​​Dafeng, only the safety can be guaranteed.

"Brother Zhou, don't you think this is very evil?"

"Never mind ghosts and monsters, they helped us anyway, otherwise we might all die at the hands of the Japanese tonight. If it weren't for our lack of weapons, I really want to go back and kill that sticky Japanese."

"That's right, it must be our Dragon Lord who helped us."

"The next time we go to sea, we must prepare more weapons. If we meet the Japanese who rob us, we will definitely fight bloody battles!"

Just now they were nervous, but now they are relaxed and everyone is tired. Zhou Chao ordered most of the people to go to rest. He and a few brothers kept vigil.

They may not be familiar with other sea areas, but Zhou Chao and the others are very familiar with the sea area of ​​Dafeng. They can find the way even with their eyes closed. landed.

Fang Lianhua saw Zhou Chao and others get out of trouble, and said: "Meet the pirates played by the Japanese army, but I caused a little trouble, they have already escaped, and they should arrive in the capital in about ten days."

Dongyang is close to the capital, so it is natural to go to the capital first, so there is no need to detour to Haicheng.

Hongye was afraid for a while, if she hadn't received a letter from Boss Song during the day, and she had asked Lianhua for help on a whim, would Zhou Chao and the others have all sacrificed themselves in Dongyang tonight?

"The life and death of a mortal is just entering the next reincarnation, you don't need to take it so seriously." Lianhua said indifferently, her eyes passed through thousands of water vapors, and fell on an unknown place.

Hongye frowned, and said after a long time: "I know this truth, but if they are dying, it can be regarded as joy and mourning. Such an accident will not only cause pain for their family members, but also worry about themselves. Let alone the next reincarnation , without the memories and feelings of the previous life, the person is no longer that person.”

Lianhua shook her head with a smile, Hongye nodded emphatically when she saw this, and said, "I know that you and Daozu Hongjun look down on mortals and regard them as ants, but there is another saying, 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog. ’, the life of a mortal is actually not different from that of a sage, but the life of a sage is too long, while the life of a mortal is only 100 years.”

After pondering for a moment, Hongye said again: "Actually, the relationship between a saint and a mortal is the same as that between a mortal and a mayfly." It is only because of the length of life that a saint appears superior.

Lianhua smiled and sighed: "We will discuss this topic later." She is not looking down on ordinary people, any living beings are worthy of respect, but after a long time, she doesn't care much about many things, she is interested in exploring However, there are too few things that interest her, and she ignores even life and death.

The last time I was interested in exploring the two flower buds on the main body for no reason, now the problem of the flower buds has been solved, and I am waiting for the little flower to grow up.

Hong Ye pursed her lips, and treated the children with the mentality of "you will know when you grow up", which is inexplicably uncomfortable.

Lianhua smiled and said: "I didn't mean to deny you, but you are still thinking from the perspective of a mortal. When you grow up to a certain stage and then think about this, you will find that you have many different points of view."

Still with the mentality of 'you'll know it when you grow up', Hongye was speechless, and immediately changed the subject: "Where's that stupid little sea beast?"

"It's oh, it's gone to retreat and practice." The little sea beast is now forgetting to eat and sleep to practice in order to transform. What Lianhua didn't tell Hongye was that the little sea beast knew that the two 'senior sisters' hadn't transformed yet, so their self-confidence suddenly swelled. They took shape before.

Hongye left from Lianhua, went to the wormwood space first, saw that the wormwood hadn't come out yet, but the buds were twinkling, extraordinarily beautiful, thinking that it was getting late, she exited the space and went back outside.
