Chapter 165: The Senior Sister Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness (52)
The ship was so simple that apart from the wobbly hanging lamp on the bow, there were no other decorations or items.
The person steering the wooden boat was a sloppy-looking old man, who was quite old and had wrinkles all over his face that were as crisscrossed as ravines.
However, it is worth noting that the old man's hair was combed extremely neatly and fixed with an exquisite hairpin.
Due to the dim light, the exact shape of the hairpin cannot be seen, but it is certain that it is definitely not an ordinary item.
Several strong air waves came in succession, but they were all firmly blocked by the protective shield released by the hairpin.
Although the ship shook violently, it never capsized.
With nothing to do, Sister Liu began to ask the old man about the situation of the Eastern Continent: "Old man, how far are we from the Eastern Continent?"
Hearing Sister Liu's words, Yun Zhen gently pulled her and whispered, "Sister Liu, this boatman's cultivation is only at the foundation-building stage. His actual age may be younger than us."
When Sister Liu heard this, she was shocked and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I just called you the wrong name."
She looked at the boatman and said, "Boatman, I'm sorry. This is my first time going to the Eastern Continent. I don't understand some things. I'm sorry for offending you!"
At this time, the boatman's hands paused slightly, but soon returned to normal and continued to steer the boat forward.
"Are you from the mortal world?" The boatman seemed to be in the mood to chat. "Why didn't you take the teleportation array? It's very dangerous to go through the misty realm."
Sister Liu didn't care: "Although this is my first time, my friend is from the Eastern Continent. She can handle any situation."
"Then what are you going to do in the Eastern Continent?" The boatman might not have realized that after asking this question, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
Of course Sister Liu would not tell the truth at this time, she just said perfunctorily: "Let's go and have fun!"
But Yun Zhen saw all these details clearly. At this moment, another air wave came over, and the hairpin exerted force again.
Perhaps because she used too much force this time, Yun Zhen discovered the shape of the hairpin in the halo.
That was not a hairpin at all, it was clearly just a tree branch. However, the tree whose branches were "broken" probably had some power, so the branch also turned into a spiritual weapon.
Moreover, this branch should have undergone some rituals and refinements to give it excellent protective capabilities.
"Hey hey hey! How are you steering the boat? It's so bumpy!" Sister Liu almost fell down after what happened just now, and she yelled.
The boatman must have felt very sorry. He pulled out two ropes from near where the two were sitting and said, "This is what I usually use to stop the boat. The ropes are connected to the boat. You guys hold on to them. It will be better this way."
"You provide pretty good service!" Sister Liu felt much better now.
There must be something fishy going on here!
"Sister Liu, didn't you say before that you were going to Dongji Continent to look for someone? Does that person have any characteristics or any tokens that can be used to identify him?" Yun Zhen added a sentence in case Sister Liu refused to tell him, "This boatman has to meet so many people inside and outside, maybe he has seen the person you are looking for."
Originally, Sister Liu was going to blame Yun Zhen for being too talkative, but after hearing her explanation, she felt that what she said made sense, so she said, "My enemy is a good-looking man who likes to wear green clothes the most. When he left the mortal world, I gave him a piece of my branch."
Cyan? The boatman's clothes no longer had their original color.
Good looks? Now that he's so old, he can't tell.
The only suspicious thing was the hairpin made of a branch on the other person's head.
Yun Zhen continued to ask, "What was his cultivation level when he left the Mortal Continent?"
"Alas! He is just a Qi practitioner!" Sister Liu was also worried. "He has been gone for nearly a hundred years. I wonder if his cultivation has improved now. If he is still a Qi practitioner, I am afraid he has died of old age."
“Sister Liu, cultivators don’t have such short lives, and they can live for more than a hundred years!” Yun Zhen reminded her, “You should be more optimistic, maybe you will be able to see him soon!”
"When he attained enlightenment, he was already over 40 years old, and his physique was average." Sister Liu did not understand Yun Zhen's words, but was just sad, "Back then, he wanted to come to the East Continent so much that he didn't care about his family.
I was the one who buried both of his parents. Over a hundred years have passed. I don’t know if he has found the path he wants to pursue, or if he occasionally thinks that someone in the mortal world misses him.”
Sister Liu was complaining, but Yun Zhen was observing the boatman's performance comprehensively.
The other person's hands would tremble slightly, and he would turn his head away to avoid looking at them. There was even a moment when Yun Zhen felt that the boat was slowly descending.
This is clearly the result of the boatman not using his spiritual power.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I wonder if this boatman has ever seen a man in green clothes." Sister Liu asked and then laughed at herself, "It's been more than a hundred years, and you have to ferry so many people, how could you remember there is such a person!
And he used the teleportation array, so he might not need to take a boat at all."
