Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

I'm afraid not, it's probably because there was something wrong with Guyun Pavilion that attracted enough monsters to complete Chongyun's commission.

He also thought about whether it might be a phaseless rock or something, but if it is really a phaseless rock, that would be fine, because that thing doesn't move, it just moves in that area.

Originally, I thought that the hexagram was just a reference, but this time I went to sea to find a way. If I couldn’t find the ghost in the hexagram on the sea, I went directly to Guyun Pavilion to find the Phaseless Rock.

However now it seems...

"What happened to Guyun Pavilion?" Shen Ming asked.

"When I came back from Dao's wife, I would pass Guyun Pavilion, and sometimes I would go up to dig something."

"But this time when my fleet and I went to Guyun Pavilion, we were attacked, and I lost more than ten men."

"The assailant is a sea monster, and it has no entity. It is composed of water elements and looks like a dragon. According to the existing clues, this does not seem to be something that would appear under normal circumstances."

"It's kind of like...a water elemental creature?" Xiangling turned her head.

"It's similar in nature, but completely different in function." Beidou said with a slightly dignified expression, "Water element creatures are creatures anyway, and they also have survival instincts."

"But that kind of sea monster is different. They don't seem to have any biological instincts other than attacking living people. They don't have any fear, anger, survival, etc."

"Can that still be called a creature?" Shen Ming frowned.

"That's why we need to investigate." Beidou said as a matter of course, and then looked at Shen Ming and Xiangling, "How is it? This time, people will really die? It’s related to a Demon God, so it’s too late to quit now.”

"Fighting sea monsters?! Cool!" Xin Yan said excitedly, "Take me and take me, just think about it, and I feel that my inspiration is constantly pouring out!"

"Pure water element, in that case, it can't be used as an ingredient." Xiang Ling was distressed.

"Then can I pull two more people?" Shen Ming said in a low voice.

Beidou narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Ming.

"If it doesn't work, forget it." Shen Ming smiled dryly.

"Not everyone can get on my boat." Beidou snorted lightly, but still asked, "Who are those two people you mentioned?"

"It's Xingqiu, the second son of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and his follower, Chongyun." Shen Ming.

"Huh? That kid Xingqiu?" Beidou raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Ming, "Did you hang out with him?"

"No, I promised Xingqiu and Chongyun that they would find a powerful monster that they could fight with their own hands." Shen Ming resolutely did not mention divination.

Although I don't know what Beidou's attitude is, but judging from some details, Beidou belongs to the type who firmly believes that man can conquer the sky.

Although her sailors are very interested in these issues, Beidou personally does not seem to believe in fate, so it is better not to touch this bad luck.

Beidou pondered, then waved his hand, "Forget it, you just tell them that they can go to sea together if they want to, but they can prepare their own boats, and they can only hang far behind my fleet."

"After all, this time is not an ordinary danger, and I don't want anything to happen to Xingqiu."

......

The affairs of Xingqiu and Chongyun finally had a breakthrough, and Xin Yan seemed to be writing the score happily.

This made Shen Ming slightly relieved.

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, living room.

"What? Are you going to Guyun Pavilion?" Xingqiu and Chongyun asked.

Chongyun's attitude is eager to try, while Xingqiu is a little dignified.

"Do you have to go to Guyun Pavilion?" Xingqiu reconfirmed.

"Other places are either too far away, hard to find, or not suitable for heavy clouds." Shen Ming shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

"Guyun Pavilion..." Xingqiu kept opening and closing the fan in his hand, and walked repeatedly in the room with his legs.

"What's the matter, Xingqiu, in the past you were always the first one up, why did you shrink back instead?" Chongyun was puzzled.

"That's not an ordinary place." Xing Qiu shook his head, then looked up at the ceiling.

"I learned from ancient books that Guyun Pavilion is a place to suppress demon gods. The steep mountain peaks are actually rock spears inserted by the rock king when he suppressed demon gods."

"And the one suppressed in Guyun Pavilion was one of the demon gods who were suppressed by the rock king during the demon god war - the demon god of the vortex, Oser."

"Ah, here..." Chong Yun looked at Shen Ming, and his voice was a little softer, "You don't want me to fight the demon god, do you?"

"You're joking, how could I have the guts to provoke the Demon God?" Shen Ming said.

"It's because Guyun Pavilion has a small problem recently. There are many sea monsters in the nearby sea area. Theoretically speaking, the strength of these things is not afraid of your physique."

"Then...try?" Chongyun always looked at Xingqiu.

Xingqiu thought about it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't hold back the excitement of adventure, and witnessed the temptation of the remaining power of the demon god with his own eyes, so he decided to try it out.

"By the way, Big Sister Beidou said that you should prepare your own merchant ships." Shen Ming.

"You don't need to tell us that we will do this. I dare not take Big Dipper's boat." Xing Qiu subconsciously patted his head while talking.

......

On a sunny day, the crew members of the Southern Cross finished their rest and began to return to the ship one after another.

Beidou stood on the deck of the Death Omen, staring into the distance, and behind him were Xiangling Xinyan and Shen Ming.

The fleet at the port moved slowly and gradually left the harbor.

In a place where no one was paying attention, Sitting in the gazebo, staring at the large fleet that was gradually going away.

Wave for a waiter.

"Continue to inform and order the related industries of the Seven Stars to fully support the Southern Cross Fleet and not neglect it."

"It's almost the Lantern Festival..."

"Before that, we must completely resolve the matter over at Guyun Pavilion!"

Chapter 41 Sailing the Seas

In the open sea of ​​Liyue Port, a large fleet is slowly moving forward.

At this time, the fleet was fully armed, with bows, arrows, crossbows, and cannons, as well as ropes and kerosene.

They have fully entered the fighting state, but if you look carefully, you will find that in this group of fleets, many crew members are not as nervous and serious as they appear.

On the deck of the Death Star, the crew is in the realm of routine.

but......

"Oh, it's still comfortable to be at sea." Beidou moved a folding stool and sat on the deck, holding a super-large wine bowl in one hand.

"Sister Beidou, you are just greedy for alcohol! Be careful that you won't be able to stand up at that time." Xiangling looked at Beidou. She hadn't gotten any seafood or other ingredients, but she had been poured down several glasses of wine.

"Don't say that, for people like me who have spent most of their life at sea, the sea is what we are familiar with." Beidou sighed.

"The alcohol is slightly drunk, and the sway is the sea. We have long been used to it. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Xiangling glanced at Beidou, snorted intentionally, and walked towards the ship's galley.

I didn't get any seafood ingredients today, so just take some edible things and use them.

Shen Ming was at the side, holding a glass of wine handed over by Beidou in his hand, sipping sips with a quite calm expression.

Shen Ming was very familiar with this kind of experience of being persuaded to drink. When he was still on the earth, the beasts in the same dormitory at the university could drink better one by one.

Originally, Shen Ming's capacity for alcohol was not good enough. Taking beer as an example, one bottle was fine, but two bottles of eyelids would fight, and after three bottles, his head would start to go numb.

But during the college period, they also practiced an extra bottle. During this period, Shen Ming also learned opportunistic methods, just like now, whoever persuades him to drink, he will not refuse.

But just sip it in small sips, usually someone will come and fill you up after you sip half of the glass, but...

Isn't this better than pouring cup after cup?When the reception is over, many people think that your glass has never stopped, but in fact you only drank two or three glasses.

"Shen Ming, your speed is too slow." Big Dipper held the bowl, looked at Shen Ming, and complained.

"I'm drinking, I'm drinking." Shen Ming raised his glass calmly, and then... took a sip.

"Boring..." Beidou muttered, and took another sip.

"Hey, sister Beidou! Don't drink any more, do you want to eat later?" Xiangling snatched Beidou's bowl and said with a stare.

"Xiangling? Didn't you go to the kitchen?" Beidou asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to the kitchen, here you go! Peanuts!" When Xiangling came to the food, it was like a different person, extremely confident.

She put the peanuts from the kitchen on the table before going to the kitchen again.

While the three of them were communicating, Xin Yan was sitting on another folding stool on the other side of the Beidou, holding a glass of wine in his hand, with a troubled expression on his face.

"Huh? Xin Yan, you can't be...haven't had a drink before." Beidou's eyes drifted over.

"Hmm—" Xin Yan blushed, and retorted, "How is that possible?"

With a splash, he poured the contents of the wine glass into his own mouth, and drank three gulps!

"Good job! This is the boldness of the sea! Haha!" Beidou laughed.

"Hi--" Xin Yan hiccupped and shook his head.

"By the way, aren't we going to find out what happened to Guyun Pavilion?" Shen Ming said, while looking at the guarding crew members around, "Is it really okay for us to be so relaxed?"

"Hey, you don't know that." Just as Beidou was about to say something, Xiangling came back from the kitchen.

"Hey, Xiangling, can you..." Beidou.

"There is really nothing in the kitchen." Xiangling said with a bitter face, "It's really hard to imagine how you and your crew usually come here."

"Don't drink, don't drink, hurry up and grab the ingredients." Xiangling shook Beidou's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, don't shake it, I'll catch it now." Beidou got up and shouted at the crew, "Ready! All of you have enlarged your eyes a little bit. Whether you can have a good meal tonight depends on what you can catch. Already!"

"Oh!" The crew shouted in unison.

......

The route from Liyue Port to Guyun Pavilion is actually not very crowded. After all, the sea conditions are dangerous, and Guyun Pavilion is also deserted, so there are no business opportunities.

But this is for fleets with insufficient firepower. For armed fleets like the Southern Cross Fleet, this route is full of all kinds of exotic beasts.

Often catching one would make a lot of money, or it would be studied by Liyue's Seven Stars, or it would become a delicacy on the table in a restaurant.

As the fleet moved forward, the queue gradually dispersed. If not counting the surroundings of Guyun Pavilion, the entire sea outside Liyue Port is still very friendly, but the surrounding area of ​​Guyun Pavilion is too dangerous.

So it doesn't matter if you take it easy when you're just starting out.

"Although we all claim to be part of the sea, if we really want to start sailing, we won't be able to get down within a few months at a time." Beidou looked at the sea, and the sea breeze blew away her hair.

"We always need some entertainment to get us out of the usual boring time, such as some small games, or fishing activities."

"Of course, catching fish still depends on luck." Beidou lowered his head and smiled, "After all, not all routes have fish to catch on both sides."

"Although there are many sea creatures on the route from Liyue to Guyun Pavilion, the sea is really too big, and whether you can catch them depends on your luck."

puff-

"But we're lucky, you see."

On the decks of several ships, the crew cast down fishing nets and hook locks, and fished back vigorously.

The mesh of the fishing net has a large opening, which allows many small fish and shrimp to escape, but it doesn't matter, the crew of the Southern Cross will not pay attention to these small shrimp.

What they paid attention to was the big guy who was constantly struggling in the fishing net, swimming constantly and violently under the sea surface.

This is a breed they have never seen before.

"Up the crossbow!"

boom!boom!

Two crossbow arrows connected with steel cables successfully hit the big fish. The barbs on the tip of the arrows firmly stuck to the main texture and bones, and the surrounding area was stained red with blood.

"Sister, we caught a big one! It's a species I've never seen before! Do you want to sell it?" the crew shouted.

"What are you selling?! We are here to carry out missions! We are not here to do business! Open this fish for me! Let's eat meat tonight!"

The fleet set off again amid the cheers of the crew. In the middle of the boat, a big fish that was still struggling was dragged forward slowly by the steel cable.

Chapter 42 Banquet at Sea

At the same time, not far behind the Southern Cross Fleet, an unarmed merchant ship was slowly following the Southern Cross Fleet's track.

In fact, the crew of the Merchant Ship Southern Cross Fleet saw it very early, but the eldest sister said no, so no one cared.
