The Celestial Labyrinth: Love Across Ten Continents

The third

After Mo Ming left, Ban looked at Feng Yi, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

He said calmly, "Don't look at me like that. Even though I lied to him, I had no choice. I'm not sure if he is the same as you. If I ask him rashly, it might be bad if the secret is revealed."

Ban nodded and smiled: "I know that Second Senior Brother is the best. They all say that you are very bad, but I don't think so."

Feng Yi lowered her eyelashes, touched her head, and said nothing. Suddenly, she threw her a heavy bundle. Ban opened it blankly, only to find that it contained all kinds of new clothes and two rolls of colorful silk fabrics.

He jokingly said, "If you think I'm good, then make some clothes for me. Second Senior Brother has already bought the material for you."

Ban was a little embarrassed and whispered, "Okay, okay. But my craftsmanship is not good. If it doesn't fit and doesn't look good, please don't laugh at me, Second Brother."

Feng Yi raised the corners of her lips: "How could that be? As long as it's made by Junior Sister, I like it."

Ban's face began to turn red again. She followed him closely, holding her bag, unable to say anything.

Should she tell him that she has a husband and cannot be too affectionate with other men, and he cannot be too intimate with her, otherwise she will be a bad woman who does not keep her husband's chastity in her mother's eyes? However, he did not say anything, if she said it out loud, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Ban, Ban, you need to calm down and stop imagining things. Senior brother treats you well only because you are from the same school, and master treats you well only because you are his disciple. If you have unreasonable thoughts about this, you will be unworthy of their kindness.

She kept mumbling to herself for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. She chased after him openly, grabbed Feng Yi's sleeve and asked repeatedly: "Second Brother, where are we going now?"

Feng Yi narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment: "Let's find an inn to stay in, don't bother Aunt Lu. And by the way, take some rest, because we're going to go out to sea by boat."

Ban was shocked: "We still need to take a boat?!"

The last time they went to Taoyuan Mountain in Fenglin Prefecture, it took them half a day just to fly. If they took a boat, how long would it take them to get there?

Feng Yi looked at her helplessly and said, "If you don't take the boat, do you expect Second Senior Brother to carry you two across the sea? You little girl can't bully your Second Senior Brother like this."

Ban had nothing to say.

The two found an inn on the street and stayed there. When they went upstairs, Feng Yi suddenly said, "Master and Senior Brother will also be meditating in Lingyan Cave for three days. When we leave, I wonder if they will catch up with us. It would be better if we don't run into them."

This sentence made Ban unable to sleep well all night.

The little white paper man in her sleeve was apparently thin and soft, but to her it seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.

She closed her eyes and kept telling herself: You have a husband, you have a husband, you have a husband... She repeated this thousands of times and finally fell asleep. It was just a dream. The husband drawn on the paper suddenly jumped down and turned into Mu, holding a flower and smiling. Somehow, he suddenly turned into Feng Yi, leaning against the moon.

After waking up, Ban couldn't help but blame herself for dying at such a bad time. At least she should have seen her husband's appearance before dying, so that she wouldn't have to imagine him as someone else's.

She spent three days in this state of confusion, constantly wavering between being a woman's virtue and being immoral. She felt more and more like a bad woman, and was in a constant state of anxiety.

On the third day, Mo Ming was indeed waiting at the Basai Ferry early. As for the master and senior brother who had made Ban worried for a long time, they did not show up until they successfully boarded the boat. She didn't know whether she was relieved or disappointed.

It takes at least half a month to take a boat from Shengzhou to Yingzhou. In the first few days, Ban thought the vast ocean was very interesting. He stayed at the bow every day, counting seagulls during the day and stars at night. But he felt more and more bored as time went on. In the end, he just hid in the cabin and slept like Fengyi and the others, and he was too lazy to even talk.

"Second Brother, how many days will it take to reach Yingzhou?" When Ban was extremely bored, he finally couldn't help but ask while eating.

Feng Yi still abided by the rules of Qingyuan and did not eat meat. She only picked up two pieces of vegetables with chopsticks. While drinking tea, she said slowly: "It will take three or four days. No one can predict the exact time when sailing on the sea. There are too many unpredictable situations."

As he was speaking, he saw Mo Ming coming over with a colorful dress in his hand, looking sad. "I never thought there would be unscrupulous merchants in this fairyland. I spent so much money, but they gave me a torn dress!"

Ban leaned over to take a look out of curiosity, and saw that what he was holding in his hands was exactly the new clothes made in the garment workshop in Shengzhou. It was said that the material was more expensive than the Tianxiang Lake blue silk, and it was covered with jewels and precious stones. It was a pity that there was a thumb-sized hole on the chest, so it was obvious that he could not wear it outside.

"Didn't you check the goods when you bought them?" Feng Yi took a look at them, rubbed them with her hands, and asked curiously, "It looks like it was newly stamped. Did you stamp it yourself?"

Mo Ming blushed and stammered, "The boss said that this is a garment made of fire-resistant rat fur, and it is not afraid of water or fire, and is invulnerable to swords and guns. I... I tried it with a dagger... Who would have thought that it would be broken with just one poke..."

Feng Yi couldn't help laughing out loud and threw the clothes to him: "Obviously he is bullying you, a foreigner with no experience. How precious is the fur of the fire-raced rat? It is not only one level lower than the green silkworm of Tianxiang Lake, but even gods may not be able to wear it. How could he sell it to you at that price? This is indeed made of fur, but it is not made of fire-raced rat, but the fur of the mole from Zhichun Mountain. It is probably warmer than ordinary clothes, but it can't protect against water, fire, swords or guns at all."

Mo Ming clutched the clothes awkwardly, not knowing whether to throw it away or cry while holding it. Ban hurried over to comfort him: "Brother Mo Ming, don't be sad, it's just a hole. I saw that the clothes are too fancy. I helped Second Senior Brother make clothes these two days, and there is some leftover fabric, the color is similar, I will help you mend it."

Inexplicably, he thanked her with a cupped hand, "Thank you so much for troubling Miss Ban. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! If you have any requests in the future, I will definitely do it for you."

Ban laughed in horror: "This... is not a big deal, not a big favor... It's just patching a hole..."

He shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "No, to be honest, this dress... was bought for my fiancée whom I haven't seen for several years. I had to leave her before the wedding due to some things. Now that things are almost done, I can finally return to my hometown. This dress is a gift for her..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Yi asked, "Brother Mo, do you know where your hometown is? The two of us are going down the mountain to gain experience these days, and we don't have much to do, so we can give you a ride."

It was clearly a cliché, but Brother Mo Ming didn't notice it at all. He smiled generously and said, "My hometown is in Sichuan, Shu, and Yuzhou. I'm afraid you haven't heard of it, so I don't dare to trouble you to see me off."

Ban almost jumped up, pointed at his nose, and trembled, but couldn't utter a word.

He looked at Ban in bewilderment and asked curiously, "What happened to Miss Ban?"

Feng Yi propped up her chin and said lazily, "I only have one question for you. Did you find the Tuyan drum and give it to True Lord Qingling?"

This time it was Mo Ming's turn to jump up. His whole body was shaking, and his face was turning pale and blue.

At that time, Ban finally understood that he was born into a martial arts family, had learned a lot of martial arts, and had been traveling around the world since he was a child, with extraordinary talent. Because he did not kowtow at the mountain temple, he was captured and taken to the Ten Continents in the Sea in a dream at night, and was told to obtain the Tuyan Drum and Shui Liuqin within ten years.

As he was skilled in martial arts, he was naturally stronger than Ban, who was weak as a kitten. After traveling around the ten continents in the sea for two or three years, he actually found the Tuyan Drum in Wuqiong Valley in Juku Continent. After that, he made inquiries everywhere and learned that the Shui Liuqin was hidden in the old palace of Lezheng Shishan in Yingzhou. When he was about to set off, he met Ban and Feng Yi.

Feng Yi heard this and nodded and smiled, "It seems that the True Lord now has two relics of the gods. If he gets three of them, he will be able to accomplish his goal, and the only thing missing is the Shui Liuqin. No wonder he is so anxious."

After he said this, Ban and Mo Ming looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

He explained, "The five artifacts of gold, wood, water, fire and earth gather the power of the five elements and are extremely powerful. The Mu Hao Ling was obtained by my friend, and the Tu Yan Drum was obtained by Mo Ming. They were all given to Zhen Jun. The Golden Pipa was stolen, and the Fire Control Flute is in the hands of the Demon Dao. Zhen Jun has no ability to get it, so he can only focus on the Shui Liu Qin, which is the most difficult to get. As long as you get it, his wish and yours will be fulfilled, so let's take what we need from each other."

Mo Ming sighed, "I have never believed in these gods and ghosts, but now I have to believe in them, but I am still confused. No matter what he wants to do, we have to work hard to go back. Miss Ban, I can't believe that you and I are from the same place."

Ban nodded blankly, stared at Mo Ming, and whispered, "You are the third one. I wonder if there will be a fourth or fifth one."

Mo Ming slapped the long sword at his waist and said, "This Master is too incompetent! He asked me, a rough and rude man, to run errands for him, but why did he kidnap a little girl? Isn't that just sending her to die in vain? Miss Ban, Mo Ming will protect you to the end. It will be your credit if I get the Shui Liu Qin. I think I have already given him the Tuyan drum, so the Master will not make things difficult for me."

Ban looked at him gratefully and was about to speak when he suddenly felt the entire boat being hit hard by something. The three of them immediately lost their balance and rolled to the ground. The vase decoration in the corner also fell down with a clang.

Many people outside were screaming: "It's a mermaid! We encountered a mermaid!" For a moment, some were crying, some were shouting, some were running, and some were jumping into the sea. It was a mess.

Ban bumped against one wall and that wall, like fried beans in a pot, tossing and turning, feeling dizzy and dazed. Finally, someone grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the cabin. The fishy sea breeze immediately blew in her face, mixed with the swirling sea water, and soaked her almost instantly.

The bow was full of terrified people, clinging to the deck tightly, trying to find a foothold in the storm.

It was already dark, and it was raining heavily. The sea and sky were pitch black, and I couldn't tell the direction at all. The sea water was boiling and tumbling, and I didn't know what huge monster was hiding underneath.

Ban was pressed to the deck by Feng Yi, and screamed in pain. Mo Ming drew his sword from behind and said sternly, "Feng Yi, Miss Ban, please retreat! There is a monster under the boat!"

Just as he finished speaking, a thick, long, black object shot out from the sea. It was slippery, like a monster's tail, and wrapped around the hull, like a child playing with a toy. With a c***k, the whole ship was broken in two, creaking as it broke apart, and the people on board cried and screamed.

Ban was pressed tightly on the deck, and the man pressed his chin on her neck to prevent her from moving. She felt dizzy, and the broken boat fell into the sea, being tossed around by the big tail, and was about to be sucked into the whirlpool.

She had never encountered such a thing before, and she was so frightened that her voice became hoarse. Suddenly, she heard Feng Yi whisper behind her ear: "Don't panic, I'm here! That monster is a little bit complicated, I can't use the cloud-flying technique, you hold on to me, don't let go for a moment!"

The broken boat finally sank, and the cold sea water swept up, as if countless pairs of powerful hands were tearing her body apart. Ban choked on the water a few times, and it tasted extremely salty and bitter, and it was even more painful when it got into her eyes. Fortunately, Feng Yi tied their belts together, and he held her body tightly, and the two did not separate for the time being.

A huge monster suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea. It had a slender and black body, was a hundred feet tall, had a prominent head and two eyes that were like huge lanterns in the black fog, shining with cold light.

【sinner--!】

Someone seemed to be shouting in the air, [Why don’t you leave him now?! ]

In panic, Ban suddenly remembered the strange dream. He looked up at the monster again and understood something in an instant.
