The ox said, "Hey,
I didn't praise you,
What's there to be afraid of? I'm busy farming here, so I didn't see anyone coming. "
Pei Ming said, "If that's the case." As he said that, he took a step forward. The farmers immediately raised their hoes and said, "He was trampled to death! He was trampled to death! "
Pei Ming frowned slightly,
"What trampled to death?"
The ox said, "You trampled to death the crops they painstakingly planted.
Apologize. "
Pei Ming lowered his head to look,
He said patiently, "If I'm not wrong, this is just wild grass."
The ox said curiously, "You're a general who fights and kills.
What do you know? It's grass and crops.
Don't we farmers know better than you? "
Although Xie Lian could already tell that the people of Yushi Village were deliberately making things difficult for Pei Ming, he could not help but be curious about whether it was grass or crops. Pei Ming was the martial god who guarded the north.
Why would he apologize to a group of farmers for such a boring reason? He directly ignored it.
He took a few steps forward and shouted, "Qingxuan, come out! Your brother is going through the tribulation now.
The situation is not good. Something is going to happen! "
"…"
Shi Qingxuan had originally planned to hide in the house and not go out.
Pei Ming would not force his way in, but when he heard this,
He said, "What?!" He opened the door and rushed out.
Pei Ming glanced at the ox.
"As expected, you've come here again!"
Shi Qingxuan was stunned. After a moment, he reacted and jumped back.
He said, "Don't scare me. How can it be so fast? This is too sudden. I thought it would take at least a few more months? " However, just now in Immortal Capital, the navy had indeed left in a hurry. It was as if they had gone to deal with something important. He immediately put two fingers together to touch his temples. This was the hand seal of the Spirit Communication Technique. However, when he raised his hand, he remembered that he had lost all his magic power. He could not even care about his melancholy. He hurriedly grabbed Xie Lian and said, "Your Highness, help me ask if this is true."
Xie Lian and Ming Yi both entered the Spirit Communication Array. As expected, it was already a mess inside. It was extremely bad. Many of the Heavenly Officials seemed to be watching the East Sea. They all muttered, "Oh my god … this situation … as expected of the Water Hengtian!"
"This, this, this, can we survive this …"
The stronger the magic power and the more times a Divine Official had gone through tribulations, the more dangerous the next heavenly tribulation they had to face. Shi Wudu monopolized the waterways and monopolized the wealth. This was his third tribulation, so one could only imagine what it would be like. Xie Lian replied, "It's true."
The bull was still blocking the way, so Pei Ming couldn't force her way through. She said from afar, "You're not a kid anymore. Who would lie to you about something like this? Transcending the Heavenly Tribulation wasn't a date to have a meal. How could it be a good day to change into new clothes before going? He was caught off guard! He is now in the East Sea. There are huge waves in the East Sea, and no one can go in or come out. He is fighting the waves, and suddenly someone reported that you ran away. How can he pass the tribulation in peace? "
Shi Qingxuan said, "Then hurry up and tell him that I'm in Yushi Village!"
Xie Lian listened to the spirit communication array and said, "I can't do it anymore. Right now, the entire sea region where Master Navy is undergoing his tribulation has released a layer of frenzied magical force field. I'm afraid he's in a mess, and no one can talk to him! "
Shi Qingxuan rushed out and said, "Bring me there!"
Pei Ming stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go!"
However, Ming Yi suddenly flashed and blocked in front of Shi Qingxuan with a serious expression. Shi Qingxuan said, "Brother Ming, what's wrong?"
Ming Yi frowned and didn't say anything. However, Xie Lian could roughly guess what he was thinking and why he wanted to stop Shi Qingxuan.
Was it really the right thing to do to help the navy survive this Heavenly Calamity?
If the matter of changing his fate was true, Master Navy would have to accept the corresponding punishment. Then, before he could be held accountable, he had to first help him reach a higher level. Was there really nothing wrong with doing this?
The reason why he could guess it was because Xie Lian was also thinking about this problem. Shi Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "… Brother Ming, I … thank you. But no matter what, that is after all … I'm still worried. Let's get through this first! "
After saying that, he rushed to Pei Ming's side and turned around, "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Master Rain! Thank you, Ox! Thank you, everyone! I'll repay you in the future! "The two of them left in a hurry. Ming Yi stayed on the spot for a moment and followed. Xie Lian looked at their backs and didn't move. Hua Cheng slowly walked out of the house and said, "Brother, aren't you going?"
After thinking for a while, Xie Lian shook his head and said slowly, "I can't care about this matter. Let's see how they solve it first. "
Shi Qingxuan was in it. At this moment, he still couldn't figure out what to do. He was also in a difficult position. Although Xie Lian could understand why Shi Wudu had to do this, he couldn't agree with this method. The ideal outcome was for Shi Wudu to admit his guilt and accept his punishment. Ming Yi probably hoped so too, which was why he stopped Shi Qingxuan. However, with the pride and arrogance of Master Navy, this was almost impossible. After sitting in such a high position for so many years, no one would be willing to come down.
If it was someone else, Xie Lian would probably immediately report this matter to the Heavenly Courts. However, thinking of how friendly Master Wind had always been, at his brother's critical moment, he couldn't turn hostile for the time being. That would be like taking advantage of someone's precarious situation, adding insult to injury, and not caring about the past at all. He could only see how they solve it first. If the final solution was still not appropriate …
Thinking of this, he said to Hua Cheng in a self-deprecating manner, "San Lang, your advice before was probably right. Sigh, this matter. "
Hua Cheng smiled and was about to speak when Xie Lian's expression suddenly changed. He heard Ling Wen in the spirit communication formation say, "What?! A few hundred fishermen's boats were stirred up??? At this juncture?! "
Xie Lian was startled and cried out, "Fishermen? Where were they stirred up? East Sea? "
If the spirit communication formation was a mess just now, then the porridge was spilled on the ground and fed to the dogs now. Ling Wen didn't even have time to reply, but his voice was still considered calm, "Excuse me, which martial god is on duty? Old Pei? "
Pei Ming said in the formation, "Don't be anxious, I brought Qingxuan over there, Master Geomaster is also there. You should first calculate how many hundreds of people were trapped in the storm, so that we can bring them all back and try not to miss a single one. "
Ling Wen said, "Then I will have to trouble you. Master Navy has now exploded the execution field, no one is allowed to enter the range of his tribulation. The Middle Heaven's Heavenly Officials will definitely be beaten to a pulp if they enter, but the Upper Heaven's Heavenly Officials can still try to break through the barrier. I'm afraid there are more than two hundred people affected, just the two of you alone might not be enough, we need a martial god. Which martial god is there? General Nan Yang? General Xuan Zhen? "
Someone replied, "Aren't the two generals grounded for destroying the Celestial Capital, we can't call them now …"
"What about Tai Hua? Is Prince Tai Hua back? "
"Not back! He was sent out. "
"What about Qi Ying?"
"Who knows where he went, this person has been blocking all spirit communication all year round, he doesn't listen to anyone, it's not like you don't know!"
Other than these few, which martial god in the Upper Heaven's Heavenly Officials could be ranked? Even in the midst of his anxiety, Xie Lian couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that his reputation as a god of trash was so strong that everyone had forgotten that he was a martial god? He quickly said, "I! I'm here. I'll go. Are we going to the East Sea to fish up fishermen? "
Ling Wen said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, right now the winds and waves of the East Sea are very dangerous, your spiritual power won't be effective, what if …"
Xie Lian said, "It's fine. I've fished in all four seas, there wasn't a time when I went out to sea without encountering strong winds and waves, often drifting on the sea for ten days to half a month, I'm already very used to it. "
"… …"
The Heavenly Officials couldn't help but think, "That's fine too! In the end, what else have you done??? "
The current situation was critical, there was no time to think too much. Ling Wen said, "Okay. Then I'll have to trouble you, General Pei, you guys cooperate! "
Pei Ming said, "Okay!"
Xie Lian closed the spirit communication, turned around and said, "San Lang, the East Sea …"
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw that Hua Cheng had already changed into a fresh fisherman's outfit. He threw a die, grabbed it with one hand, and put the other hand on the door. He simply said, "Let's go!"
Xie Lian stared blankly for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Okay!" and followed.
When they opened the door, what they saw wasn't the furnishings of the house, but a gray beach.
The two of them came out from a small fishing house on the beach. This small house was one of the most commonly used footholds in the East Sea to shorten the distance by a thousand miles. Beyond the beach was the vast and boundless sea. The reason why the beach was gray wasn't because the sand was gray, but because the sky was gray, and the sea was also gray. Dark clouds rolled in, heavy and oppressive, making it hard for people to breathe.
Far away on the sea, from time to time, a monstrous wave would rise, as if a towering wall had been erected on the flat ground. Then, it would immediately collapse. There were also water pillars that were like water dragons that soared into the sky, like tornadoes that wreaked havoc and madness, rising and falling again. Dense thunder crawled across the horizon, twisting and malevolent.
A brand new big ship was moored on the beach. One couldn't have nowhere to land on the sea. If they only flew in the air, they might be struck down by a bolt of lightning, so they had to have a ship. This ship naturally wasn't an ordinary ship. Shi Qingxuan, Pei Ming, and Mingyi were already on the ship. When they saw Hua Xie and Pei Ming coming out of the small fishing house, Pei Ming said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Shi Qingxuan sighed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you … ah! It's been hard on you. I'm really sorry. "
Xie Lian boarded the ship and said, "It's just my duty. How do we sail this ship? "
Pei Ming saw Hua Cheng who was crossing his arms leisurely behind him and said warily, "Unrelated people, please retreat. This storm isn't fun."
At this moment, Hua Cheng was wearing plain clothes that were patched up, but it still couldn't hide his handsomeness and intelligence. He was just like a handsome little fisherman as he smiled and said, "I'm not an unrelated person, I'm just following my Highness."
Xie Lian also said, "He's a member of my palace."
However, Pei Ming had already drawn his sword and didn't give in. He insisted and said, "Retreat."
Before Xie Lian could reply, Hua Cheng had already said to him in an abnormally firm manner, "No. I must accompany you on this trip. "
The two sides were in a stalemate for only a moment, but Shi Qingxuan was able to see through the four seasons. He said to Pei Ming, "General Pei, there's no problem with this person, hurry up and set sail!"
As he spoke, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky and struck the surface of the sea. The entire stretch of seawater was filled with lightning, and it shone brightly, turning into a fluorescent green color. It was as if a huge heart had suddenly started to beat and breathe. The scene was spectacular and extremely terrifying. Pei Ming didn't want to wait any longer and shouted, "Open!"
The body of the ship shook violently, and there was a series of sounds of a circular axis turning. Without anyone operating it, the ship actually left the beach on its own and quickly headed towards the depths of the sea. It opened up a path in the lightning, thunder, and stormy waves.
Although the wind and waves were strong, Xie Lian, Hua Cheng, Pei Ming, and Ming Yi all stood extremely steadily. Only Shi Qingxuan didn't fall because he was grabbed by Ming Yi. Xie Lian said loudly, "Can this ship withstand this kind of wind and waves?!"
Pei Ming said, "It should be able to barely do it now, but it's hard to say if it will work in the future!"
The ship was already moving extremely fast, and the seawater on both sides splashed up high. However, Shi Qingxuan said, "Can you go a little faster?"
Pei Ming said, "This ship burns mana, it's already the fastest it can go!"
Shi Qingxuan clenched his right hand tightly. That hand was originally holding the Wind Master's fan. With a fan, a gale would rise from the ground. With a good wind, this ship could go at least forty percent faster. However, right now, it was empty, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. At this moment, Hua Cheng patted Xie Lian and said in a low voice, "Brother."
Xie Lian turned his head and opened his eyes wide. He saw that on the surface of the sea about seventy to eighty feet away, there was a small fishing boat spinning in the wild waves. On the boat, there were a few vague figures, and they seemed to be calling for help. However, the cries for help were all swallowed up by the thunderous waves.
Fishermen in distress!
This was the purpose of his trip. Ruo Xie flew out, wrapped around the waists of those fishermen, and lifted them up. The few fishermen's feet stepped on the deck of the large ship, and they almost went limp. However, Pei Ming immediately opened the door of a cabin and threw them inside. When those fishermen opened the door again, they would discover that they were already on the shore.
After Hua Cheng and Xie Lian fished up thirty or forty fishermen, the large ship also got closer and closer to the center of the storm and the huge waves. At this moment, there must be a lot of Heavenly Officials watching this terrifying scene from afar. There must also be a lot of mortals exclaiming in shock and fear at the might of heaven. More and more lightning struck this ship. This lightning would be attracted by the source of magic power and chase after people with strong magic power to strike. This was why it was best to hide far away when other people were going through a tribulation, because it would bring disaster to the fish in the moat.
Right now, Shi Qingxuan was a mortal, and Xie Lian's magic power was enough for him to ask a question in the spirit communication array. Hua Cheng's magic power didn't need to be used at this time, so he kept it well. Thus, that lightning would specifically greet Pei Ming. Several times, he used his sword to strike back the lightning with ease and skill. This kind of skill, Xie Lian quite admired. If it were the Heavenly Officials of the Central Heavens here, not only would they be chased and struck, they wouldn't be able to fight back. That was why they couldn't let them in. After passing through this barrier, not long after, Shi Qingxuan suddenly shouted, "Brother!!!"
Xie Lian raised his head, and sure enough, among the seven or eight water dragons that soared into the sky, he saw Shi Wudu, who was floating in the air with his white clothes fluttering.
Although his body was still pressing on the huge waves, he seemed to be a little uneasy, and the pressure was not stable. Those savage water dragons would occasionally find opportunities to get close, waiting for the opportunity to swallow him into their stomachs. There were a few times when he narrowly avoided them. The large ship was still dozens of feet away from him. If the Wind Fan was still there, Shi Qingxuan could suppress the wind and waves a little. However, right now, he was just a mortal, and even his voice couldn't travel far, so he could only be anxious. When Pei Ming opened her mouth, her voice traveled extremely far, "Senior Brother Shui! Qingxuan has found him! "
Just as she finished speaking, Shi Wudu opened his eyes.
At the same time, a huge wave rose to the sky and suddenly fell down. The large ship was lifted high into the air, but it couldn't keep up with the falling speed of the huge wave. The whole ship hung in the air and fell rapidly. Xie Lian used Thousand Pounds Falling to stabilize his body, and firmly grabbed Hua Cheng's hand, saying, "Be careful!"
Speaking of which, it was strange. Hua Cheng was clearly taller than him, and it was effortless for him to carry him with one hand. However, Xie Lian always felt that this person was light as a feather, as if if he wasn't careful, he would disappear, so he grabbed him very tightly. At the same time, Hua Cheng also grabbed him with a backhand. On the other side, Pei Ming said, "Senior Brother Shui, calm down! If you don't suppress the waves, your little brother will drown to death! "
Shi Wudu saw the ship on this side, and also heard his words. A green aura flashed across his face, and his hand seal suddenly changed. It was as if a layer of law field was shaken up around his body, and the seven or eight water dragons that had been circling around him were instantly destroyed, turning into a sky full of rain, and fell down with a pitter patter.
The falling rain was like falling stones, hitting the deck with a pitter patter, and hitting people until they felt a dull pain. However, after this, the wind and waves also slightly restrained. Shi Wudu slowly descended and landed on this ship. Everyone was beaten until they were drenched. Shi Qingxuan wiped his face and said hesitantly, "… Brother."
Shi Wudu's face was still green, and he strode over and said, "I told you to stay here, why did you run around! Are you happy because you want to anger me to death!!! "
Shi Qingxuan really didn't know what to say. When he didn't see him, he was worried, but when he saw him, he thought about that matter again. He couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, and said, "… Sigh, I just … I …"
In the end, he scratched his head and sighed, "It's good that you're done transcending the tribulation. I think, I still feel that … "
Shi Wudu interrupted him and said, "Who said that I'm done transcending the tribulation?"
Shi Qingxuan was stunned and said, "Wasn't that just now?"
Pei Ming wiped her hair with water and said, "Don't be happy too early, this is your brother's third tribulation, how can it be so simple? It will take at least seven days and seven nights. That just now was just the beginning. "
In reality, even the first tribulation wasn't so simple. Come to think of it, the 'tribulation' that Shi Qingxuan faced back then, as compared to others, was much weaker. He must have also thought of this, and his face dimmed. Xie Lian was concerned about the purpose of this trip, and he asked in the spirit communication formation, "Ling Wen? We have now entered the sea region where Master Navy is transcending the tribulation, can you point out where the fishermen that got swept into the storm are? "
Ling Wen said, "Wait a moment." After a while, she said, "Sorry for the trouble. Today, there are 261 fishermen that got swept into the area of his tribulation, and they are scattered too far apart, there are only a few … "
After saying a few words, her voice started to stutter, and Xie Lian couldn't hear it clearly. He said, "What's wrong? Ling Wen? "
He thought that his magic power had been used up again, but when he raised his head and looked at Pei Ming's expression, it was obvious that it was the same on his side. The few of them hadn't discussed when Xie Lian saw a few dilapidated boats floating over on the surface of the sea not far away, and he said, "It's probably because the aftermath of the opening was too big, and the spirit communication wasn't smooth, it might be better in a while. Ling Wen said that 261 fishermen were washed away by the waves, let's save as many as we can first. "
Naturally, no one objected. Pei Ming said, "Senior Martial Brother Shui, go in and rest for a while. You have just endured the opening, I don't know when it will come again. You are also unlucky this time, to actually affect so many mortals. "
Shi Wudu seemed to be a little tired, he nodded his head slightly, pushed open the door of another cabin, and went in to meditate. Shi Qingxuan seemed to want to say something serious to him, but since he hadn't finished transcending the tribulation, he couldn't say it at this juncture, so he could only swallow it down. He prepared to walk to the side with Ming Yi gloomily, but Shi Wudu opened his eyes again, and said sternly, "Don't run around, come over, sit here."
Shi Qingxuan could only squat down beside him.
After half a day, when it was deep into the night, the big ship floated deeper into the East Sea.
Although the spirit communication was still intermittent, it could still be used. During this time, Xie Lian and the rest had already saved more than two hundred fishermen. Those fishermen were originally fishing in the sea normally, who knew that there would suddenly be such a huge storm, sweeping them to the surface of the sea too far away. It was impossible for them to float back on their own. If they floated for a few days and nights, they might have starved to death, died of thirst, and become dried corpses. Suddenly being saved, it was like being saved from a desperate situation, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Drifting on the sea like this, who knew how many days and nights it would take to save all the fishermen, Shi Wudu also didn't know when the third tribulation would officially start, and there would be danger at any time. Under such circumstances, Pei Ming still didn't change his style, at night, he saved a few fishermen sisters, and they were so scared that their eyes were blurry from crying. He hugged them into his arms and comforted them with a gentle voice, what a sweet and sweet feeling, and then sent them into the cabin. A few girls were still reluctant to part, hoping to see him again when they opened the door. Shi Wudu meditated for a long time, and his complexion was much better. He opened his eyes and said, "Don't you always have high standards?"
Although those few fisherwomen were in their youth, they were only average, and they were indeed far from the standards that Pei Ming used to hunt for beauties. But after he hugged the women, his face instantly glowed, and he touched his chin and said with a smile, "I saved seventy to eighty unshaven old fishermen in a row, when I see women, I feel that they are outstanding beauties, hahahaha."
Hearing this, Shi Qingxuan and Mingyi didn't want to look at him anymore. Xie Lian shook his head, and he found it a little funny. He sat side by side with Hua Cheng, and after sitting for a while, he suddenly felt an emptiness in his stomach.
The others on this ship didn't need to eat, and although Shi Qingxuan was also a mortal now, Xie Lian suspected that Shi Wudu must have fed him some celestial pill, the kind that could fill his stomach for a few days, so he didn't seem hungry now. This ship wasn't built in the mortal realm to go out to sea, so it definitely wouldn't be prepared with food. Xie Lian got up and wanted to go into the sea to catch a few fish, but Hua Cheng, who was beside him, passed something over. Xie Lian looked down, and it was a snow white and soft bun.
He sat back down and said in a low voice, "Thank you, San Lang."
Hua Cheng also said softly, "Big Brother, use this for the time being. You'll be fine in a while."
It was still the same bun, and it was split into two halves. The two of them sat together and slowly gnawed on it. Pei Ming, who was on the other side of the ship, heard them talking in low voices. He wiped his hair and said, "Did the two of you discover something? Why don't you leave your small world and tell us about it? "
Xie Lian was just about to say a few perfunctory words to him, but he suddenly frowned and said, "Don't you guys feel that there's something wrong?"
Mingyi also frowned, raised his head and said, "Yes."
Xie Lian stood up and said, "This ship seems to be moving a lot slower. Is it because the mana is not enough? "
Pei Ming said, "How is that possible? The mana that was poured into this ship before we set off can allow us to travel on the sea for another two days. "
Xie Lian walked to the side of the ship and put his hand on the side of the ship. He said, "But I keep feeling that this ship suddenly became very heavy … …" Before he could finish his sentence, his voice suddenly stopped. Other than Shi Wudu, the few people gathered at the side of the ship and asked, "What's wrong?"
There was no need to ask. Just by looking, they knew what was going on. Even though the sky was already dark, they could still vaguely see that the draft of this big ship had suddenly become abnormal. It had become a lot deeper. Furthermore, it was still continuously deepening!
Xie Lian immediately said, "Is the bottom of the ship leaking?! Did it hit the rocks? Or did something dig a hole under the water? "
Pei Ming said, "Impossible! How could we not sense it hitting the rocks? This ship isn't an ordinary ship. Ordinary things can't dig through it, unless … … "
He seemed to have thought of something and choked. Mingyi said, "Unless what?"
Pei Ming said, "It's broken."
Shi Qingxuan said, "What's broken?"
