Chapter 169 Pretending to Be Relaxed
——Thanks to Tianluoqi and friends Z of Light’s Dark Side for their rewards. And Zhao Weihuang for urging me to update.
On the second day, Shi Xuan taught Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying how to read in the sun on the deck as usual. Now that there were disciples from the Blood Demon Sect, Shi Xuan forced himself not to think about things related to cultivation, and let the true qi flow naturally in his body along with the changes of yin and yang between his body and the world.
"Haha, brother Shi, you used to be a private school teacher, right? I think you teach very well." The speaker was a guest who was also basking in the sun on the deck. His name was Rob. In terms of appearance, he was not special. He had an above-average appearance, but he was a bit more romantic. He would talk about women every three sentences. But one strange thing was that he always wore a round and big felt hat, which tightly wrapped his hair. Only the black roots of his hair could be seen from the outside.
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I did work as a temporary teacher for a while. Haha, I often run into you, Brother Luo, these days. You seem to like sunbathing very much, right?"
Rob stretched and said with great enjoyment, "Sunbathing is the most comfortable thing besides women."
"What women?" Zhou Yi asked curiously. Zhou Ying also looked puzzled.
Rob touched Zhou Yi's head and said, "Hehe, when you grow up, you will understand it naturally. Yes, when you grow up, it will be natural." The latter sentence was said to Zhou Ying.
"I don't know why you are going to the North Pole, Brother Luo? To visit relatives?" Since it was just a casual chat, Shi Xuan casually asked Rob about the purpose of going to the North Pole. 70% of the passengers on this ship were going to the North Pole to visit relatives.
Rob chuckled: "I heard that there are many female cultivators in Guanghan Sect, and there are even more beautiful ones! Plus the cold flavor of the Arctic, it's really sad to think about it. I went to the Arctic this time just to see it!" This remark caused Feng Ming, a cold young man who was watching the sea next to him, to snort coldly, as if he had no good feelings for this kind of playboy, but Rob didn't care at all, and continued to talk about the imaginary female disciples of Guanghan Sect.
This guy can travel so far for women, he is really determined. Shi Xuan didn't want to continue to talk about this aspect, so after a few perfunctory words, he continued to teach the two children to read.
…………
At night, Shi Xuan was reading a book, and suddenly there was a strange movement projected on his mind like a stone falling into the water. This was not caused by spiritual perception. You must know that Shi Xuan has never released spiritual perception since he got on the boat, but a natural induction. Although it is not as good as divine consciousness, it is also a lot better than before.
Shi Xuan smiled faintly and continued to read without any abnormality. Then he felt that he was being spied on. After the feeling of being spied on Shi Xuan several times, he left and went to other rooms. It seems that the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect are looking for any monks who have sneaked on board. However, even if Shi Xuan does not use the little tricks he has learned from the Yuanshen Zhenren Talisman, these two Qi Induction Stage monks will not be able to find Shi Xuan's abnormality.
After a while, someone outside shouted: "Everyone come to the deck, and those who violate the rules will be killed without mercy." It sounded like a steward of the Fan family.
Shi Xuan pretended to open the door in a panic, and then saw He Ji, Cao Yuanze and others standing at the door with horrified faces, looking at others, while Zhou Chen walked out in panic and confusion, holding the two children who had not yet woken up.
He Ji was also somewhat knowledgeable, and he forced himself to calm down: "It's okay, it should be those monks who sneaked into the fleet, it has nothing to do with us."
Hearing He Ji's words, everyone nodded as if they had grabbed a straw: "Well, it should have nothing to do with us." Then they slowly walked to the deck together.
A blood-robed monk stood on the deck, who was the older disciple of the Blood Demon Sect. He stood with his hands behind his back, watching with satisfaction as everyone on the boat walked out tremblingly. Behind him were more than a dozen guards, and in front of him were two managers of the Fan family.
Seeing that everyone was there, the manager of the Fan family said: "This time it was the immortals of the Blood Demon Sect who came to check if there were any spies who sneaked onto the ship, so there is no need to panic, as long as you have nothing to hide."
Everyone could accept this statement, but being called to the deck in the middle of the night, who didn't feel a little uneasy? The Blood Demon Sect monks killed innocent people more than once or twice, and the North Sea was cold at night, so everyone began to tremble involuntarily.
The Blood Demon Sect disciple seemed very happy to see everyone like this, and even showed an expression of enjoyment on his face, and then said coldly: "You walk past me in groups of ten."
Not daring to disobey his words, the passengers on the boat started from the left and walked from left to right in groups of ten. When they passed in front of the Blood Demon Sect disciple, they were swept by his cold and fierce eyes. Some people were scared to run quickly, some were scared to collapse on the spot, and some used their hands and feet to crawl forward.
Whenever he saw this scene, the Blood Demon Sect disciple laughed loudly, looking very satisfied. Suddenly, he pointed at a passenger and said: "Your hat is too ugly! Take it off!"
That person was Rob. The big felt hat on his head was indeed ugly, but the Blood Demon Sect disciple just wanted to see Rob's ugly face when he was scared.
Rob's face suddenly became ugly, and he took two steps forward: "Shangxian, I have a sore on my head, it's really ugly, can I not take it off?"
The Blood Demon Sect disciple looked at him coldly: "What do you think?"
Rob smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay." As he spoke, he slowly reached out to his hat. Suddenly, two red lights flew from under the hat to the disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, and then a fierce explosion occurred. At the same time, Rob threw the hat and turned into a dark cloud. When his body merged with the dark cloud, it turned into a dark light and quickly went to the horizon.
The Blood Demon Sect disciple reacted quickly. A blood-colored shield appeared in his hand, blocking most of the explosion power. Unfortunately, he was blocked by this and could only see Rob's back. The ochre-red radish-like hair on his head was particularly eye-catching. This guy turned out to be a carrot spirit! I don't know what means he used to hide his breath, but he couldn't cover up the part of his body that was not fully transformed.
How could he give up so easily? The Blood Demon Sect disciple turned into a blood light and chased after him. At the same time, a blood light rose on another boat and followed closely.
Everyone on the deck was stunned. There really was a cultivator, but were they going back now? Or not? To be cautious, everyone unanimously decided to stay here and wait until the Blood Demon Sect monk came back and spoke before leaving.
Shi Xuan admired Rob very much. A carrot spirit that was hundreds of years old traveled thousands of miles and risked great danger to rush to the North Pole for the beauty of a human woman. What kind of spirit is this? This is a spirit of lust!
The north wind blew by, and Shi Xuan saw that Zhou Chen looked cold holding the two children, so he took off his outer robe and handed it over: "Put it on Xiaoyi and Xiaoying. The weather in the North Sea is not like that in overseas countries."
Zhou Chen hesitated and said: "What will you do, Mr. Shi?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Shi is young and strong, and he exercises often. He won't get sick if he blows the cold wind."
After hearing what Shi Xuan said, Zhou Chen took Shi Xuan's outer robe and said thank you repeatedly.
After half a quarter of an hour, the two blood lights flew back from the sky and landed on the original boat. Seeing his bad face, it seems that he didn't catch up with Rob. It's only a day's boat ride from here to the North Sea border. It will take less than an hour to escape. There's no way to notify the patrol team to intercept him.
Seeing that everyone on the boat stayed where they were, the Blood Demon Sect monk's face eased a little, and at the same time, he was not very interested. In addition, he was anxious to go back and enjoy a monster corpse to relieve his depression, so he waved his hand and said, "Thirty people will pass together."
There were less than a hundred people left who hadn't passed. Shi Xuan was in the second batch and walked in front of the Blood Demon Sect disciples. He was wearing thin clothes, and deliberately made his face pale, his lips purple, and his body trembling. There was nothing else conspicuous about his body. He used the small method he learned from the Yuanshen Zhenren Talisman, so the Blood Demon Sect monk just glanced at him and didn't pay much attention to Shi Xuan, allowing Shi Xuan to pass easily.
Among the last thirty people, there was the cold young man Feng Ming. This guy's disguise was not very good, and he could only deceive the average Qi Induction Stage. At least Shi Xuan could tell at a glance that he was a monk.
Feng Ming seemed to dislike pretending to be scared or terrified. He walked between the two people with a cold face, trying to get by. The Blood Demon Sect disciple frowned and was about to teach this stinky boy a lesson. At this time, a blue light flew out from the boat where another Blood Demon Sect disciple was, and a blood-colored light was entangled behind him.
Seeing this, the Blood Demon Sect disciple immediately became excited, waved his hand and turned into a blood light to chase after him.
After a while, a scream came from a distance, and then two Blood Demon Sect disciples were seen returning with satisfaction. They no longer landed on the original boat, but went directly back to the boat where the young master of the Fan family was. I think they plundered the blood essence of the cultivator and needed to meditate and practice.
Not long after the two entered the cabin, seven or eight rays of light, including red, grayish white, and blue-gray, flew out from the other boats and rushed back to the road. It seems that these hidden monks were still hoping for luck after Rob was discovered at first. They waited until the second monk died tragically and then gave up their thoughts and took advantage of the opportunity of the two monks' cultivation to escape collectively.
However, Shi Xuan had already passed the test and there was no need to escape again. Even the monk named Feng Ming returned to his room coldly without any fear. I think he has some strength and confidence.
"Okay, you all go back to your rooms. There should be no more searches on this ship in the future." The manager of the Fan family clapped his hands and comforted everyone. After all, these were his sponsors. Apart from the ship fare, a large part of the spirit stones and silver money used by everyone on the ship every day fell into the pockets of several managers.
Shi Xuan took Zhou Yi from Zhou Chen's arms and said, "Okay, Brother Zhou, you are tired too. Let me hold one for you. Go back and take a shower with hot water before going to bed." Because of the existence of cultivators, most ships sailing on long voyages are equipped with formations that can convert fresh water and heat cold water. They use spirit stones as the core of the formation and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to operate on their own, so there is no shortage of hot water for bathing.
