Chapter 566: The Golden Ship
The rest of the sea journey was much smoother, at least no one was doing anything secretly. Halfway through the journey, there was no food on the ship. If you wanted to make a living, you had to go to a maritime trading place to buy rice, grain, water and other supplies.
The so-called maritime trading office refers to a large ship filled with supplies that wanders back and forth in a certain sea area. If a passing ship encounters it, try to hitchhike close to it, board the ship, and buy rice, wine, grain, and other necessary items. , but prices often rise several times. This is no stranger to ship passengers who often travel far away. However, when the captain first mentioned the maritime trading office, both Li Changxiao and Mu Qin were curious.
Li Changxiao was a familiar person, good at martial arts, and handsome and cheerful. He had already become close to the captain, and they went to the sea to fish and catch shrimps, or repair the ship, countless times. He pulled the captain and asked questions before he found out about the maritime trading office.
Later, he relayed the story to Mu Qin. Mu Qin was chewing dry and hard biscuits without paying attention, but his eyes were bright. He was obviously curious, but he restrained himself.
This guy is seducing me... Mu Qin didn't know what Li Changxiao was doing, but in the end, somehow, Li Changxiao, Mu Qin, and the captain reached an agreement that if they encountered a maritime trading office, they would Go check it out.
The two of them didn't care about things like rice and grain, they were just curious. If they encountered one or two more interesting things, their trip would be more worthwhile. Mu Qin glanced at Li Changxiao, who was laughing heartily, and his mood arose again, thinking that walking with this kid would be a lot of trouble. If you go by yourself, you will most likely stay in the cabin until you disembark. Who cares about this?

After thinking for a while, he said to himself: "That's all, that's all, I don't seem to be rejecting it anyway." The boat sailed for a few days, and they all ate fish and shrimp. Everyone in the boat felt nauseous when they saw the fish and shrimp, and they just wanted to eat something else. of.
In the thick fog that day, a large ship was looming. The captain looked up from the platform and saw that the large ship was about three stories high and the lights were dim. There was a high pole on the deck with a small red light hanging on it. It was swaying brightly and swaying like a Someone waved, which was very eye-catching. Even on the sea where there is thick fog, you can see clearly even from a distance of more than ten miles.
With such a style, it is undoubtedly an offshore exchange. The captain called out to Li Changxiao who was sleeping, and Li Changxiao called out to Mu Qin. Mu Qin did not shirk his promise, immediately stood up, put on his shoes and socks, and pushed open the wooden door.
Li Changxiao and Mu Qin lived across from each other. The strange thing was that Mu Qin was obviously aloof in everything, but when they went out to eat or have fun, they always accompanied each other and rarely saw each other alone. This strange image made it difficult for all the passengers on the ship to guess the relationship between the two. Someone saw the easy-going swordsman in white and boldly asked him, but the result was that even the swordsman himself couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't just say that Immortal Namu was his ex-girlfriend's master. I'm afraid that this opening, speaking truthfully, this relationship alone is enough for them to deal with all morning. Therefore, Li Changxiao would often laugh and fool him.
The boat wanted to get closer, but it was still about ten miles away from the trading place. Someone gave a warning not to get any closer. If you wanted to board the boat and trade, you had to sail over in a small boat. This was not deliberately making things difficult, but the thick fog on the sea made people more worried. It’s unpredictable. Just be careful in everything and you will never make a mistake.
It's reasonable and should be followed. The three of them put down the three boats and pushed each other across. Mu Qin said: "Old man, apart from the rice and grain on the boat, do you have any cloth and clothing to buy?"
"Do you want to change clothes?" Li Changxiao asked.
Mu Qin nodded, "Mu Qi is here, and maybe Mu Shu and Mu Painting are also here. After thinking about it, it would be more reasonable to change my clothes."
Li Changxiao looked up and down and saw that Mu Qin's Taoist robe was clean, tied around him, and elegant. He wondered how he would look if he changed his clothes. He held his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked the inevitable question, " Do you have any money left?”
Mu Qin's expression suddenly changed. When she first set off, she brought a lot of money with her. However, the price of this long-distance voyage ship was extremely expensive, and she spent almost half of it. In addition, the swordsman was not the owner of the remaining money. After coming and going, Mu Qin Qin is already in embarrassment of being short of money.
She touched her pocket, only a handful of copper coins were left, and she felt humiliated for a moment. Looking at the swordsman who gave up on his old skills, his eyes were naturally resigned, with a hint of resentment.
Li Changxiao realized this, drank silently, pretended not to know, whistled, and increased his speed. Just waiting to get on the boat, I still couldn't avoid that punch, which hit my shoulder without pain or itching. When he turned around, he heard Mu Qin's subtle hum and walked ahead.
The belated captain had a look of helplessness on his face. He couldn't get a word in during the entire trip, which made him feel a little depressed. The ship is three stories high. Standing on the deck and looking up towards the hull, you can see a purple gold plaque with three words on it: "Ten Thousand Gold Ship".
The hull of the ship is spacious and cannot be compared to a three-person boat crossing the sea. Entering the first floor, what you see is gorgeous decoration, carved beams and paintings, and magnificent. And there are no longer many people.
It was like returning to a big city, the bustling market streets were really dazzling. Where Li Changxiao looked, he saw a bunch of candied haws and looked at the price.
It is more than three times more expensive than ordinary candied haws. The captain said in a low voice: "This ten-thousand-gold ship is not only a place of supply, but also a place of joy for traveling. It's a pity that we are not lucky enough to enjoy it."
With that said, he led Li Changxiao and Mu Qin towards the firewood, rice, oil, salt and grocery store, mostly buying food seasonings, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and the like. There is actually no need to worry about eating on the sea, there are fish and shrimp everywhere. Sometimes the net is cast at night and closed in the morning, and the fish and shrimp caught are enough for one day's food.
It's just that it's difficult to make it delicious. If you eat it for too many people, it will make your body smell fishy and cause nausea and acid vomiting. In order to save money, the captain shopped around and made a careful selection.
The two looked at each other and felt that it was meaningless to wander around like this. This Wanjin ship floating on the sea must be wonderful. They should walk around boldly and see something. So they said goodbye to the captain and looked around.
"Be careful. There are many rules on this ship. In short, look less, talk less, and show off less." The captain carefully reminded.
Mu Qin still had that handsome look, as if he didn't care at all, but in fact he appreciated it and listened carefully. Li Changxiao was consistent in his words and deeds, nodded and said yes, and thanked the other party with a smile. Mu Qin also knew this truth, but he was arrogant and couldn't do many things. He thought in his heart that Li Changxiao's thanks were equivalent to my thanks, and saying more would seem long-winded.
Then he felt troubled again, thinking that people's feelings and face were the most difficult to deal with. Fortunately, there was such a drunkard by his side. He was good at it.
Maybe, just by raising his mouth, he could coax the girl into spending all her money for him.
Mu Qin held the whisk in one hand and chanted the flower formula with the other, peaceful and calm, but she didn't know where her mind was drifting. She had a high level of cultivation and a deep understanding of Taoism, so she couldn't be treated as an ordinary person practicing the void. Therefore, even Li Changxiao, who was proficient in the way of dreams, couldn't feel her shallow thoughts. He really thought that the Taoist nun was consistent in her appearance and heart and didn't listen to the worldly affairs at all.
He couldn't help but think that if there hadn't been the bridge of inquiry under the Eighteen Hells, Li Changxiao might not have known that Zhao Qing was Mu Qin.
