Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 22: Shrinking Talisman?
A month later, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Uncle Jiu finished some things and prepared to take his disciples back to Maoshan.

"Master, how do we get there?"

It's a rare opportunity to travel so far, and Qiu Sheng and Wencai were so excited that they couldn't sleep a few days ago.

As for the test on what you have learned when you arrive at Maoshan, we will talk about it when the time comes.

"Use the Shukuchi Talisman."

Uncle Jiu spoke and took out four bills from his pocket.

"Shrinking Earth Talisman?!"

"Master, you also know this kind of magic!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were surprised and quickly took the "Shrinking Talisman" in their hands.

Li Kunshan was also quite surprised and came over to watch.

"Tsk! What kind of shrinking talisman is this? It's clearly a boat ticket!"

"That's right, if we don't take a boat, do we have to walk?"

After tapping Qiu Sheng and Wencai on the head, Uncle Jiu snorted and continued.

"Take your tickets. If you lose yours, just walk to Maoshan. Also, each ticket is 500 wen, so please pay the money."

"No way, Master, you're asking for money for this too. You're too stingy."

"You are all so fat now, how can I not squeeze some out of you?"

"Master, I have no money."

Wencai had a bitter face and felt a little aggrieved.

Mr. Ren gave him two silver dollars. He originally wanted to save them, but he had no choice but to spend them lavishly as he was with Qiu Sheng every day.

By the time I came to my senses, the two dollars had already been spent.

As for Qiu Sheng, he got fifty yuan and now his pocket is still full.

"If you don't have money, go borrow it! It's your fault for spending money recklessly!"

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at Wencai and went back to his room to sleep.

The three apprentices curled their lips, collected their tickets, and went back to sleep.

The next morning, the four masters and apprentices left the charity cemetery, carrying large and small bags. Knowing they were going out, Ren Fa had someone prepare a carriage.

It took two days of travel by horse carriage to reach the Fuzhou seaport terminal.

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and thank Master Ren for me."

After thanking the driver, Uncle Jiu took his apprentices to take a boat ride.

The boat leaves at 12 noon, and it is now 10:30, which is just the right time.

"Wow! What a huge ship!"

Standing on the shore, Qiu Sheng and Wencai were both excited as they looked at the huge ship in front of them, which was nearly a hundred meters long, with four or five floors above and below, and a chimney on the deck that was more than ten meters high.

They never thought that they would be able to ride on such a luxurious ship in their lifetime.

Even Li Kunshan, a time traveler, was surprised. In this era, he felt that he saw the shadow of his previous life for the first time.

"Wow, what's with that? That's the real one."

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at his three idiot apprentices and pointed to the left side of the ship.

The three of them were startled, and looked in the direction Uncle Jiu pointed, and were stunned for a moment.

"No!"

If the huge ship just now was a whale, then this one is at most a big turtle, which is a huge difference.

Not only is it much smaller, but it is also round and flat, and does not look impressive at all.

"Can this ship run fast? It will delay the date any further."

"A ticket for this kind of boat costs five hundred coins. Master, you are too greedy."

Wencai and Qiu Sheng complained for a while, looking reluctant.

Even Li Kunshan couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little lost.

I have to say that I am most afraid of comparison in everything.

If they hadn't seen the huge ship first, perhaps they wouldn't be so disappointed at this moment.

The boat ticket has been bought long ago and cannot be changed.

"Wow! You can see outside from here!"

"This bed is so small. I don't know if I'll fall off when I sleep on it at night, but it should be very comfortable if it rocks."

But soon after getting on the boat, everyone was attracted by the new and novel things in front of them.

There was a cabin on the second deck with four beds in total, just enough for the four of them, the master and his disciples.

Throwing the luggage aside, Qiu Sheng leaned against the window and looked out excitedly, while Wencai was testing the bed to see if it was comfortable.

"I've never seen the world."

Uncle Jiu hummed softly, found a bed by the window, and lay down leisurely.

"This one is mine!" "Then I want this one!"

Seeing this, Wencai and Qiu Sheng quickly grabbed a bed each.

In the end, only the one near the door was left, looking at Li Kunshan with a smirk on his face.

Li Kunshan smiled and didn't argue with them, putting his things away.

Woo~woo~!

At twelve o'clock noon, with the sound of a low whistle, the Manta weighed anchor on time.

"Ugh~!"

Less than two hours into the journey, the swaying worsened as the boat moved further away from land. Wencai, who had previously looked so excited, suddenly turned pale and slumped over the bed, vomiting.

I feel seasick.

"Let's go for a stroll on deck."

Wencai was in excruciating pain, but the remaining three were fine.

After taking a look at Wencai, he realized that he would not die, so he happily went out to play.

"A bunch of heartless people... Ugh~!"

Looking at the closed cabin door, Wencai stretched out his hand, and before he could finish his words, he held the spittoon and started to spit hard.

Not only did he vomit out the dry food he had eaten at noon and the noodles he had eaten in the morning, but he also vomited out what he had eaten last night.

In the end, there was nothing left to vomit, and only some green bile was forced out.

"Wow! What's that smell? Did you poop on the bed?"

The three of them came back in the evening, and the pungent smell when they opened the door almost pushed Qiu Sheng back.

Looking at Wencai again, he was lying on the edge of the bed, as limp as an octopus.

"I brought you some food, but it looks like you can't finish it."

Qiu Sheng said this, then sat on the edge of the bed and started eating the snacks.

Li Kunshan opened the door to let the smell out, walked over to look at Wencai, and couldn't help but curl his lips, he felt like he was being marinated.

Uncle Jiu shook his head and gave Wencai some water.

As night fell, the boat shook even more violently.

"Ugh~!"

Wencai lay on the edge of the bed, retching again.

Not to mention the smell, the noise is so loud that it is impossible to sleep.

"It's really troublesome."

Uncle Jiu got down from the bed, opened his bundle, and took out yellow paper and a red brush.

To prevent fire, there were no candles or anything like that in the cabin, and electric lights were only found on luxury ships.

There was only a rustling sound, and Uncle Jiu drew a talisman in the dark, walked up to Wencai, and stuck it on his forehead with a snap.

"Ugh, eh? I don't think I'll throw up anymore."

Wencai was stunned, touched the talisman on his forehead, and looked happy.

"Wow, Master, what kind of talisman is this? It can even cure seasickness!"

Qiu Sheng turned over and sat up, looking surprised.

Li Kunshan was also surprised. Besides catching ghosts and zombies, could the talisman really cure diseases?
"Calming Talisman. I feel seasick because my mind is restless."

Uncle Jiu snorted softly and turned over to sleep.

"Meditation?"

Qiu Sheng scratched his head, not quite understanding.

Li Kunshan seemed to be lost in thought, feeling that it was not that simple.

"I think I'm a little hungry. Is there any hot water?"

Not wanting to vomit anymore, Wencai sat up and asked.

"There's still hot water at this time."

No one paid any attention and everyone turned around and went to sleep.

Wencai could only get up by himself and eat a piece of dry food in the dark.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the talisman or a psychological effect, but the next day when the talisman was removed, Wencai no longer felt seasick.

"Wow! The sea is so blue!"

Early in the morning, I followed everyone to the deck, looked at the blue sea, and danced with excitement.

It takes five days and four nights for the ship to travel from Fujian to Jiangsu, and the journey has just begun.

"Let's go have breakfast."

Li Kunshan stretched and greeted everyone.
