The book never ends

The time of January is but fleeting. I have prepared for many years before, and it will be much smoother when I am about to set off.

Jiang Ce and Ji Wuduan stood on the bow of the big ship, breathing the slightly fishy sea breeze, watching the people who saw them off gradually turning into black spots, and finally they could go back, but parting was inevitably a little melancholy.

The wind raised the sails, and the big boat with a height of more than one foot moved away from the blue water and gradually accelerated. It passed by the small fishing boat like a giant beast, and soon left the port far away, and the land could not be seen.

Jiang Ce stared at the point on the map that marked him and didn't seem to move a bit. His brows were tightly frowned. It seemed that the Moro Sea was much bigger than imagined. Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations and enough They sailed at sea for half a year.

He and Ji Wuduan had already fasted, so naturally they didn't need food and water, but those ordinary people couldn't.

Liang Gaoyuan stood not far from them, looking at the sky with a serious expression on his face. "National teacher, it is rumored that there are sea monsters in the Mara Sea. I think the crew members only have some brute force, not much force. I don't know if they will be able to survive the crisis."

Jiang Ce nodded, but didn't give him any guarantees. After all, he couldn't tell what he would encounter on this trip.Fortunately, the system can display the map and the red name. If you encounter them at that time, just let the boat avoid them.

He thought for a while, and said to Liang Gaoyuan: "Since you are my disciple from now on, don't call me my master, just call me master, and I will make up the apprenticeship ceremony when I go back."

Liang Gaoyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Ce, and called out a little excitedly: "Master, please accept my disciple's bow."

He looked up at Ji Wuduan who was beside Jiang Ce again. Logically speaking, this person was the prince of Chen Guo, but he heard Jiang Ce call him master, and he was a little unsure what to call him, so he could only look at Jiang Ce as if asking for help.

Jiang Ce was taken aback for a moment, he had never thought about how to make his apprentice call Ji Wudu before.They are no longer masters and apprentices but Taoist companions, so their seniority is naturally different from before. Do they want to be called masters?

When he was in a dilemma, Ji Wuduan who was next to him suddenly said: "Since your master and I are Taoist couples, you can just call me uncle."

Liang Gaoyuan knew the relationship between the Taoist couple. He remembered that the national teacher and the crown prince had already become relatives, so he followed what he thought in his heart and called out: "Master, bah! Uncle!"

Jiang Ce laughed a little at his inaccuracy, but Ji Wuduan beside him looked indifferent, apparently not paying attention.He coughed lightly, thinking that since he accepted his apprentice, he should give him some greeting gift or something, so he took out from his backpack the pair of swords given to him by the master uncle Qingsong Taoist and handed it to Liang Gaoyuan.

Looking at the pair of swords, one can't help seeing things and thinking about people. The tragic death of Taoist Qingsong seems to be still vivid in his memory, reminding him of the hatred that he will never forget no matter what.

Liang Gaoyuan was sent away. In order to make the trip safer, Ji Wuduan led Jiang Ce around the boat, and used the Five Elements Stone on his body to set up a small defensive circle on the boat. If it doesn't run out, or encounters an opponent above the stage of transformation, the ship can sail safely on the sea, and those storms are naturally not a problem.

The two did not return to the cabin until night, because the ship was so large that it was directly divided into four floors, the first and second floors were used for living, the third floor was the operating room for the ship's navigation, and the bottom floor was used to store the crew their living supplies.In order to solve the troubles they encountered, Jiang Ce and Ji Wudu chose to live on the first floor.

Due to the addition of defensive formations, the ship sailed very smoothly on the sea. Jiang Ce was sitting on the couch in the cabin, holding the portrait Yuan Qingyuan gave him in his hand.

Before preparing to go to sea, I was busy all the time and didn't have time to take a closer look. Now that I have finally got some free time, Jiang Ce put this matter on his mind, and wanted to take a closer look to see if he could find any clues.

Jiang Ce was very familiar with the long black hair and the clothes that were layered like bamboo shoots. He had trained Hua Ge before, so he couldn't even recognize the broken military uniform.It seems that this predecessor was worn in the 80s.just that face...

The outline of the meticulous painting is not very recognizable, only the soft lines of the face can be seen, but the elegant temperament of the whole body is fully revealed, and it can be seen that the artist's skill is good.

Jiang Ce was watching intently, but the portrait in his hand was suddenly taken away. He turned his head in doubt, and met Shang Ji Wuduan's eyes with a hint of displeasure.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ce asked quickly, wondering why Master was upset.

Ji Wuduan held the portrait in his hand, but his eyes fixed on Jiang Ce, "Do you like a man who looks like this?"

"Uh..." Jiang Ce looked at him inexplicably, always feeling that the situation was not right, "Master, what are you talking about?"

Ji Wuduan's voice was as cold as ever, and he couldn't hear much emotion, "I saw you take out this portrait to look at it a few days ago, don't you like it?"

Jiang Ce was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then suddenly fell down on the couch, his face was buried in the quilt, and his body was still shaking strangely.

Seeing his unusual appearance, Ji Wuduan couldn't help but feel a little worried, she possessed her body and stretched out her hand to turn him back to the front, and he saw a smile on his face, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Ce slowed down, and hooked his neck with one hand. Although the smile on his face faded, it could still be seen that he was in a good mood. "Is Master jealous?"

"Jealous?" Ji Wudu frowned. He had never eaten that kind of thing in his hundreds of years of life.

Seeing his bewildered look, Jiang Ce probably guessed something, and he didn't want him to think too much when he had enough fun, so he explained directly: "Master, do you still remember the person that Monk Cao Deng asked me to find?"

Ji Wuduan nodded, the monk didn't ask anything afterwards, he had already let it go before he left, after all he had promised before, after thinking about it, he knew the painting in his heart, "Is this the portrait of that person? "

"Yeah." Jiang Ce took out the portrait from his hand and unfolded it, pointing to the person in the painting, "This is the person I'm looking for, if I find him, I'll know why I came here, and why I went back Method."

Ji Wuduan felt his heart tighten when he heard the back, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Ce, "You still want to leave?"

Jiang Ce looked up at him, but remained silent.He had deliberately ignored this question at first, but now that someone raised it, he really didn't know how to answer it for a while.Before he experienced so many things and expressed his heart to this person, he really wanted to go back, but now...

Ji Wuduan let him go and stood up, his eyes gradually covered with a layer of ice, "If you want to leave, I will never stop, I just hope you can live a happy life in your own world."

He pointed at the portrait, "I also recognize this person, who happens to be the one that Baidi loves. This time, when I go back, I need to go to Baidi City to recover my body. You also happen to be looking for that person, so it's perfect After he finished speaking, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and it was too late for Jiang Ce to come to his senses and try to stop him.

Jiang Ce, who was left behind, was also a little annoyed when he saw his decisive attitude.Didn't he say he wants to go back yet? Why did he get angry so casually? The teacher who revived the first life seems to have a lot more temper than before.

After being angry, there was a sadness of being left behind. Although I knew who the person in the painting was, I couldn't feel happy at all.He lay on his side on the couch, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out whether he should go back or not.There are her parents over there, and here...the ones she loves.What a dilemma.

I don't know how long it took, but when Jiang Ce was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly surrounded by someone from behind.The familiar cold fragrance is tangy, and there is also a hint of sea breeze. This person must have stood outside for a long time.

He turned around and reached out to hug him.

"Sorry, I don't want to embarrass you." A slightly deep voice rang in my ear.

Jiang Ce was a little surprised. In his impression, Master is not a person who can apologize. He has really changed a lot now. Compared with the appearance of a banished fairy before, he is now more like a person. Jiang Ce's heart softened instantly. Down, the phrase "I will not leave" almost blurted out.But he still can't figure out what he thinks, and he can't make any promises.

"Master, I like you very much, and I like this world very much. If I have to leave at that time, I should only leave for a while, and I will come back." If I can go, I should be able to go back. All Jiang Ce can think of is This is the best way.

He really wanted to go back and see how his relatives over there were doing, maybe he could provide them with care until the end of their lives, he still had a role as a man.

It's not too late to come back after all the things over there are settled. After all, compared with ordinary people over there, people here can live for a long time, hundreds of thousands of years, but it's just a flick of a finger.

Ji Wuduan sighed lightly, and hugged the person in his arms tighter, "If you leave, I will wait for you in seclusion, I just hope you can remember what I said today."

Jiang Ce hummed lightly, barely making a promise, and what happened in the future was not something he could have predicted.The worst thing is that there is no return. He doesn't want to think about it. Before he meets someone, it is meaningless to think about it.

The two of them never brought up this topic again. Although Ji Wuduan was cold-tempered, he was very good to the person he loved, and there was basically no conflict between the two of them.Jiang Ce felt that this time at sea was the happiest time he had spent in Zongmen when he was young.

The sea voyage was very smooth, and there were no accidents.Ten days later, Jiang Ce finally felt relieved when he saw the dots on the map finally moved a short distance.

Calculated at this speed, they only need about a hundred days to reach the edge of the Morro Sea on the map, and the edge should be the legendary enchantment.

What is waiting for them there is still unknown. They continued to move forward for a month, and there were few seabirds, and finally encountered several large sea monsters one after another.But the level is not high, and Jiang Ce can easily handle it by himself, so the monster is here to give him experience.

In their spare time, he and Ji Wuduan would teach Liang Gaoyuan and Yuan Qingyuan some basic cultivation techniques. Although they still lacked spiritual power and could not cultivate, they could at least comprehend some of them.

What is the relationship between Liang Gaoyuan and Yuan Qingyuan, Jiang Ce does not know, but what Yuan Qingyuan said that day, "marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog" and so on. Agreed, accepting one is accepting, and accepting two is also accepted, there is not much difference.

Obviously, Yuan Qingyuan's comprehension ability is much better than Liang Gaoyuan's. After all, he is a disciple left by that senior, so he still has some basics.

Of course, Jiang Ce didn't know much. Most of the time, Ji Wudu was teaching, and he was learning together.

In the early years, because of his systematic martial arts, he didn't learn many Taoist exercises. Now that his cultivation level has improved, learning some basic knowledge is also very beneficial to the growth of Taoism.

He couldn't enter the mysterious and mysterious void that he experienced in Dongzhiji, presumably there should be geographical restrictions.

Jiang Ce is not in a hurry either. According to Ji Wuduan, his strength is now ranked among the top [-] in the cultivation world.What's more, after returning to the cultivation world, there is a lot of spiritual power for him to absorb, and there are some secret realms where he can spawn monsters. In places with high-level monsters, it will definitely be easier to upgrade.

They spent more than three months at sea in this way, and soon they will reach the edge of the Moro Sea.

Looking at the map, Jiang Ce couldn't help but feel a little excited. The place not far between the sea and the sky is the place he wants to go back to.

The bottomless sea was surprisingly quiet, like the calm before the storm.

Jiang Ce gradually felt something strange. A small red dot suddenly appeared on the map and broke into his field of vision. The red dot came from the direction of the border, and the distance was at least thousands of kilometers, but it made Jiang Ce feel inexplicable. There was a sense of crisis.

Different from the red name that I occasionally encountered before, it was definitely a terrifying existence to the extent that even a person of his cultivation would find it dangerous.

Ji Wuduan walked out of the cabin, still with an indifferent expression on his face, and only softened when he saw Jiang Ce. He walked to Jiang Ce's side, and quickly noticed his uneasiness, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ce's brows were tightly furrowed, and he only glanced at him before turning his head and staring straight ahead. There were already more than one small red dot on the map, and the number of them was gradually increasing one after another. He was galloping towards them quickly.

Jiang Ce clenched his fist and murmured, "I don't know if it's too late to go back..."
