Text Chapter 107: Riding the Wind and Waves
Yan Xiu tried to ask, "Is the cave master going to sea?"
Miao Yi nodded, Yan Xiu understood, and turned to go get his mount.
Xue'er beside him couldn't help asking, "When will the cave master come back?"
Miao Yi looked back at the two girls, thought for a while, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go with me?"
The two girls nodded quickly, and Miao Yi smiled and said, "Go pack some clothes to change."
"Yes!" Without saying a word, the two girls quickly ran back to their rooms, and soon each packed a package and came out.
Probably because they were afraid of the cold outside, after all, the two had just stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and each wore a black and white fur coat, both made of good materials offered by Donglai City.
Miao Yi put the two people's packages into the storage ring, then called Heitan over, jumped on the horse, and pulled the two people to the back one by one to sit down.
It was the first time for the two to ride on a dragon colt. They looked a little excited, but they had seen how to ride a dragon colt before. They imitated it by stepping on the oracle bones on both sides of Heitan as pedals.
The dragon colt is half a body length longer than an ordinary horse, so it is no problem for three people to sit on it.
There was a sound of a dragon colt galloping and stopping outside. Miao Yi knew that Yan Xiu was coming, and turned back and said, "Hold tight."
Qian'er immediately stretched out her hands and hugged Miao Yi's waist. She had touched him when she served the cave master in the bath, and she was used to it. She was not shy to hug him. Xue'er hugged Qian'er again.
Heitan rushed forward a few steps in the yard, suddenly flew into the air, and flew over the roofs of the buildings, startling the two girls and screaming.
Fortunately, Miao Yi's magic power was added, otherwise the two would have been thrown off suddenly.
As soon as they landed on the square outside the main hall, Yan Xiu, who was waiting, was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the cave master also brought two maids with him. Seeing the cave master riding the black charcoal quickly, he immediately followed and chased.
The ground was white. It was winter, and the wind was cold. The dragon horse ran at an extremely fast speed. The two girls only heard the whistling wind in their ears, and the surrounding scenery quickly receded.
With Miao Yi's magic power, the two did not feel cold. Instead, they looked curious and excited, and liked this feeling very much.
"When your cultivation is enough to control the dragon horse, I will get one for each of you." Miao Yi turned around and smiled.
"Thank you, cave master!" The two girls smiled and looked forward to the arrival of that day.
With the speed of the dragon horse, it didn't take too long to reach the seaside with waves.
The so-called pier is a cave carved out of the towering reef cliffs by the sea.
Leaving the two girls outside, Yan Xiu led Miao Yi into the cave along a stone staircase.
The light inside was not very good, but the two of them could see clearly once their eyes were opened.
The cave had a feeling of being warm in winter and cool in summer. A double-decker boat was quietly moored in the belly of the mountain. It was obvious that it took a lot of manpower to build it.
Miao Yi, who boarded the boat and looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and whispered a few words to Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu was startled at first, and then nodded and accepted the order.
Then Yan Xiu carefully taught him how to drive the boat and how to maintain it with grease.
After the two of them left the cave, Miao Yi left a few people at the seaside and drove Longju to Donglai City alone.
Longju did not enter the city. He went to the city alone to purchase a lot of things and put them in the storage ring, and then left the city and drove Longju back to the seaside.
This time, he led the two girls and Heitan into the huge cave and took them on the boat together. The two girls dared not move in the dark on the boat and stood there obediently.
Miao Yi pulled Heitan to the inner cabin at the stern and tied him to a capstan with a shackle. Heitan was a little reluctant, but when Miao Yi showed him the little mantis to threaten him, he immediately became obedient and began to drag the shackle around the capstan. He was the power of the whole ship, so unlucky.
The propeller under the water at the stern gradually accelerated, and Miao Yi personally took the helm. The ship rode the wind and waves and rushed out of the cliff by the sea.
Qian'er and Xue'er, who were standing on the deck, staggered repeatedly, and suddenly saw the sun. Seeing themselves riding the wind and waves on the sea, they were very excited.
The faster Heitan, who was the power, ran, the faster the ship sailed, but this kind of running in circles was not pleasant. Unfortunately, this kind of ship was tailor-made for the dragon colt, and ordinary horses did not have such great strength and endurance.
Miao Yi then appeared on the deck and waved to Yan Xiu on the cliff. Yan Xiu bowed and jumped on the dragon colt and left.
For Miao Yi, this fight with Fan Renfang and Fang Ziyu was pure luck. Not to mention the help of the little guys, if he had not just broken through to the second level of White Lotus, he would have been beaten half to death by Fan Renfang's sneak attack. Afterwards, he could not resist the two people's remote magic attack with the first level of White Lotus. It was like picking up his life.
Therefore, he realized the importance of improving his own cultivation, but it felt a little unsafe to stay in Donglai Cave for cultivation.
Miao Yi had made it clear to Yan Xiu that this trip was not only for cultivation, but also for avoiding disaster. Because he had a falling out with Xiong Xiao, he was worried that Xiong Xiao would secretly harm him. Although Yang Qing came forward, maybe Xiong Xiao would not touch him for the time being, but it was unclear.
Just like he said to Qingju, he would not let Xiong Xiao go as long as he had a chance, but it was difficult for him to find an opportunity after all, while Xiong Xiao had a chance at any time, so it was better to be safe, better than avoiding him at that time.
Miao Yi temporarily entrusted the matter of Donglai Cave to Yan Xiu, and specifically told him that if anyone asked about him, he should say that he went to the mountains to practice.
The reason why I brought the two girls along was that I didn't want to implicate them because of my personal grudges. Other cultivators could surrender when they met a strong enemy, but the fate of maids was nothing more than becoming playthings. After the Fuguang Cave was breached, many maids had a miserable end.
Qian'er and Xue'er ran up and down the boat excitedly, pointing at the surrounding seascapes and chattering.
Miao Yi was not in that mood. What was so good about the seascape? He stayed on the sea for a full ten years. The reason he hid on the sea to practice was because it was not easy to be found.
He took out a jade tablet and looked at the sea chart in it. These were all prepared by Yan Xiu for him before, and they were collected and integrated from the sea merchants in Donglai City.
He checked the scattered islands in the jade tablet, finally determined the target location, and turned back to take the helm himself.
One day later, the boat anchored at an uninhabited island. After confirming that there was a spring on the island that could be drunk, Miao Yi leveled the rocky ground, cut down trees to make logs, cut down vines to weave into ropes, and together with Heitan, pulled the boat ashore, fixed and covered it with trees.
The two maids couldn't help with these rough jobs, so they could only watch from the side. They didn't understand why the cave owner did this. Shouldn't the boat stay on the sea? Why pull it to the shore?
The two girls soon found that this trip was not as fun as they imagined, and there were no other maids to give them instructions. The cave owner actually dug a cave here to practice in seclusion, becoming a true cave owner.
