Chapter 366 Departure and Ship
The Flying Island Festival lasted a whole day, and it was extremely lively even at night.
However, Xiaoya and Zhao Zitong said goodbye to Gu Xing after dinner and went back.
Today was somewhat unexpected for Gu Xing.
He originally thought that, according to the descriptions in fantasy novels, at this moment, the configuration of two women and one man would always cause some jealous playboys on the street, or some shop owners who looked down on them, or enemies who were the opposite of best friends.
But nothing special happened.
Apart from blocking dozens of people who came to chat him up, Gu Xing basically did nothing.
Uh... I still did some of it.
For example, helping them taste food, being fed by Xiaoya, and being dragged along to play even though they were unwilling.
At the end, Xiaoya gave him a small puppet.
There is nothing special about the puppet, but it was carved by the stall owner and is very lifelike, looking like a smaller version of him.
Gu Xing rarely has the experience of hanging out with friends.
After all, in his previous life, apart from studying, he basically worked part-time to make money in his spare time.
That’s why, after graduation, I rarely kept in touch with the few friends I had left.
He also wanted to make friends again, but before he could do so, he came into this world.
Therefore, when he arrived at the back today, he was actually quite happy.
However, no matter how happy he was, after returning to the inn, Gu Xing began to practice without stopping.
The fun in life is just a spice on the path of practice; only practice is eternal.
Thinking of a sentence he had read from somewhere, Gu Xing smiled and continued practicing.
After the Flying Island Festival, the excitement is still there.
But on the next day, Qin Wen came back.
"Brother Gu, I heard from Yan Ji that you looked for me several times. What's the matter?"
Although Qin Wen was smiling, the fatigue on his face was still clearly visible.
"Nothing." Gu Xing shook his head.
Since you have already decided to go to the Sea of Blood, there is no need to look for Qin Wen anymore.
However, seeing Qin Wen's tired appearance, Gu Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Qin, what... have you been doing? Why do you look so tired?"
Qin Wen gave a bitter smile, then sat down next to Gu Xing and spoke.
"After going back, I didn't expect that my brothers were still ruthless. They didn't kill me, but now they are urging me to get married."
Gu Xing was not in a position to comment on the affairs of the Qin royal family, so he just asked a question that he was curious about.
"From Xuanluo Valley to Daqin, you ran back and forth in such a short time?"
"It's been more than ten days," Qin Wen shook his head, "and I borrowed the help of the peddler. Otherwise, how could I have done it so quickly on my own?"
After a pause, he forced himself to cheer up and spoke.
"Forget it, don't think too much about it, Brother Gu, let's go drink."
It was already time for dinner, and Gu Xing didn't refuse.
Although he was drinking, Qin Wen didn't dare to get drunk after the meal.
After all, if you get drunk and something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome.
After eating and drinking, I returned to the room and continued practicing.
In the remaining days, Gu Xing went to the treasure pavilion several times and spent some money to buy some necessities.
Then, it’s the beginning of the next month.
Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door.
The person knocking on the door was a stranger, but he took out a token from the treasure house.
"Mr. Gu, huh?"
"Yes."
Once both parties confirmed their identities, Gu Xing followed him to the treasure house.
It was still the familiar courtyard, but this time it was bustling with people.
Looking around, there were at least fifty or sixty people.
Among these people, almost all of them are very powerful, and most of them have black lines all over their bodies. Standing among these people, Gu Xing seems a little out of place.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Zhao Zitong?"
Gu Xing was extremely surprised. How could she be here?
Hearing the voice, Zhao Zitong turned around and saw Gu Xing, with surprise obviously showing on her cold face.
"Why are you here?" she asked, frowning.
"We are short of money." Gu Xing said bluntly, and at the same time he asked, "What about you?"
"I'm short of money." Zhao Zitong said it very bluntly.
Is she short of money?
Gu Xing thought about it and realized that she seemed to be really short of money.
Every time I met her, whether it was hunting at the beginning or the tomb of the dead later, she was basically running around to make money.
So why does she make money?
Do you want to practice like me?
Gu Xing did not inquire about this.
But at this time, Zhao Zitong suddenly spoke again.
"Don't tell Xiaoya that I'm participating in the mission."
Xiaoya doesn’t know?
These two are really good sisters!
A thought flashed through Gu Xing’s mind, but he just nodded.
"it is good."
Afterwards, the two had no more communication.
After all, both of them are quiet people and their relationship is not very close.
But even so, the two of them got closer, after all, they knew each other.
"Is everyone here?"
At the front of the crowd, Kang Yong was lazily lying on a recliner.
Hearing his words, a servant next to him came forward and counted the heads.
Finally, he came to Kang Yong and said respectfully.
"Senior Kang, everyone is here."
"All ready, then follow me."
As they spoke, a group of people, led by Kang Yong, walked towards the outside of the treasure pavilion.
The bustling crowds on the streets naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"So many people, what are they doing?"
An unfamiliar person asked the local next to him.
The locals exclaimed with a look of reverence on their faces.
"They are paving the way for the future of the Weird People!"
"..."
Regardless of how everyone viewed them, under Kang Yong's leadership, they soon arrived at a remote manor.
Being able to build a manor in the Hanging Valley, the person behind this manor must be of high status.
"Where is this place?" someone asked.
"Zhao Family Manor." Kang Yong turned around and replied coldly, then continued coldly, "Follow closely, don't wander around here, if something happens, don't blame me for not warning you."
When everyone heard him say this, they naturally became cautious.
In Xuanluo Valley, although the Zhao family does not show off their power on a daily basis, they are definitely one of the most difficult to deal with.
When Gu Xing heard the word "Zhao family", he turned around and looked at Zhao Zitong.
Zhao Zitong didn't react at all, with no expression on her face.
Following Kang Yong all the way, we walked along remote paths and didn't see many people along the way.
Soon, they came to the foot of a small hill.
Looking up at the mountain, someone inside was shocked.
"what is that?"
But no one answered him, and almost everyone was in shock.
Gu Xing also looked up, and then he saw a huge ship anchored at the top of the hill.
Looking from the foot of the mountain, one can only see the towering upper part and the mast.
But this alone is enough to be amazing.
After all, this is on the top of a mountain, not on the water!
Moreover, in this world, ships are actually very rare.
After all, there are many strange things underwater, and not everyone has the ability to escape through water like Gu Xing.
Therefore, more people traveled on land, using vehicles such as horse-drawn carriages.
There are still some ships in the Endless Sea, but they are basically resistant to attack and have various defensive and attacking functions.
After all, if the boat is not durable, it may capsize as soon as it is launched into the water.
Gu Xing didn't expect to see a ship here.
But why did Kang Yong bring them here?
In doubt, Kang Yong led everyone up the mountain.
The mountain is not high and we reached the top in a short while.
There is a platform on the top of the mountain, and the large ship seen at the foot of the mountain almost fills up the platform.
"Wow, is this a boat?"
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a ship!”
"..."
Many people could not help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the full picture of the ship.
Gu Xing didn't react to this. After all, although the boat on the top of the mountain sounded amazing, it was nothing compared to airplanes, high-speed trains, etc.
He was just a little curious as to why this building ship appeared on the top of the mountain.
"Everyone get on board." Kang Yong shouted to them, and then flew directly onto the ship.
Among the crowd, there were eight or nine people who followed him and flew onto the ship.
Then, there were only a bunch of those who couldn't fly, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Fortunately, the servant who had been following Kang Yong before spoke to them at this time.
"Everyone, please follow me. We will board the ship from here."
In fact, if everyone wants to go up, they can.
But it would be too embarrassing to climb or jump up huffing and puffing in front of everyone.
Following the servants, they boarded the boat via a staircase.
After boarding the ship, a group of people gathered on the deck.
Kang Yong stood at the bow, looking at them.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"I won't say anything more. You all know that most of you may not come back after this trip."
"If you still regret it now, you can bring it up, then the money will be returned and you can withdraw."
"Is there anyone who regrets this?" he shouted to the crowd.
There was silence on deck.
A smile appeared on Kang Yong's serious face.
"Very good, it seems that you are all a bunch of desperadoes."
"Then, let's go!"
Following Kang Yong's order, everyone suddenly felt a vibration under their feet.
Amid the slight panic among the crowd, they discovered that the boat under their feet was moving.
What followed was the emergence of energy ripples around the ship, shining brightly, countless formations appeared on the ship, a transparent shield covered the ship, and the ship began to rise.
Kang Yong glanced at the slightly noisy crowd and couldn't help but shout.
"Calm down. This mission is different from the previous ones. Because the destination is the Blood Sea, we need to steer this Ruyi Treasure Ship to get there. It is starting now."
After a pause, he continued, but the latter part of his words were directed to the servant beside him.
"Take them to their rooms and settle them down."
"Yes." The attendant responded and looked at everyone, "Please follow me."
After rising to a certain height, the Ruyi Treasure Ship began to move.
It was very fast, much faster than the carriage that Gu Xing had never used since he left Da Zhou.
However, with the protection of the formations on the ship, the people on the ship did not feel any fluctuations.
I just watched the surrounding scenery change, and it was left behind in an instant.
Gu Xing looked a few more times, then looked away and followed the attendant into the ship's tower.
The ship has three floors in total, and the first floor is where the ship's staff live.
Naturally, this ship also has staff.
Although it looks like a magic weapon, it is impossible to control such a huge ship with just one person's true energy.
Therefore, it actually relies more on various formations on the hull to operate.
And these formations also require people to maintain and adjust.
In addition, there were many other chefs and cleaners. At least when Gu Xing passed by, he saw some people busy with this.
Led by the servants, they went up to the second floor.
The second floor is full of rooms, arranged left and right and neatly displayed on both sides of the aisle.
The guard turned to them.
"Everyone, these rooms are for each person. You can look at the door to see who they belong to. Their names are written on it."
"Also, the rules in the treasure ship are similar to those in Hanging Valley. Another thing is that if you are not allowed, please do not enter other people's rooms."
"If you have any other questions, we have prepared a booklet for you in the room. You can take a closer look after entering the room. It records in detail the various rules of the treasure ship. After reading it, if you still have questions, you can come to me. I'm on the first floor."
"Okay, everyone please go find your own room."
When everyone heard this, they dispersed and looked for their own rooms.
Gu Xing mixed in the crowd, looking for his own name.
After a while, he found it in a relatively backward position.
There was a wooden sign hanging on the door with his name engraved on it.
And under the wooden sign, there was a piece of paper with the following words written on it:
"Open the door with this token."
Peel off the wooden sign and paper to reveal a groove.
The shape and size of the groove were exactly the same as the wooden sign, so Gu Xing placed the wooden sign on it.
Then, Gu Xing felt a surge of energy, as if a formation was operating.
Then the door opened and the token came out of the groove.
Gu Xing took the token, but he was curious about the formation.
But he didn't think too much and walked into the room.
The room was quite spacious, similar to those in an inn, fully furnished, and even had clean bedding on the bed.
At the end of the room, there is a window.
Through the window, you can see the vast sea of clouds outside, which can be used to relax your mind after practicing.
In the middle of the room, there was a table, and on the table, there was a brochure.
Gu Xing took it and started flipping through it.
As the attendant said, the booklet contains the ship's rules and regulations.
The contents are similar to those that need to be followed in Hanging Valley, with some additional supplements.
In addition, there are some things you need to pay attention to on the ship.
For example, eating.
The three meals a day on the ship are fixed but provided free of charge, and everyone can choose to eat or not.
If you want to eat, you can go to the first floor to eat when the copper bell rings.
In addition, everyone's activities are limited to the first and second floors and the decks. As for the third floor and the cabin, they are not allowed to enter. If they are discovered, they will be severely punished.
There are some other odds and ends, but they are not very important.
