Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

On that day, the autumn wind blew away the summer heat.

There are thin clouds floating in the sky, but they cannot block the clear blue sky.

A few seagulls flew by and dived into the sea to catch fish and shrimp in the sea. Their white wings flickered in the sun, adding vitality and vigor to the sea surface.

A large ship was sailing slowly on the sea with its sails spread, and the hull left a shallow mark on the calm sea.

"Boss, this time we can stay out to sea for a while. We made a lot of money from this trip!" a crew member said excitedly to the captain.

"Don't you just want to spend a few more days with your wife?" another crew member joked.

"We are preparing to enter the sea ban period, so we really need to rest for a while. When we dock, I will treat everyone to a drink to celebrate!" said the captain.

"The captain is treating us, I won't show any mercy, everyone drink up!"

The closed season is established to protect marine resources. During this time, the sea area is strictly closed to fishing so that fish can reproduce.

Some fishermen in coastal areas will hold a grand ceremony on the beach to show their respect and gratitude to the sea.

They would worship the sea god and pray for peace in the ocean and a good harvest.

Fishermen use this time to repair their boats, sort out their fishing gear, or return home to reunite with their families.

This time the ship not only caught a lot of seafood, the captain also accepted a commission to transport a monster egg. As long as the ship docked at sea, he could get fifty taels of gold, which was more than they could earn from several voyages.

"I was thinking I'd stop working after this one job, but since the captain said he'd buy everyone a drink, I'll finish this one first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain punched him on the head.

The captain still wants to live a few more years, but you know, what his crew just said is a symbol of death in mortal novels.

After I finish this job, I will retire. After I finish this job, I will go home and get married. After I finish this job, I will sleep soundly.

Such words could not be said, especially since they were still at sea. What if this kid turned out to be a pessimist?

Although he also felt that after completing this job, he wouldn't have to go into business next year, but he couldn't say such things out loud!

The captain led six crew members and stood on the deck at the bow, on which were placed two white candles and a copper incense burner.

The captain lit three thin incense sticks, and a crew member placed a plate of fish, a plate of shrimps, and a plate of oranges.

The seven people knelt down and prayed to the calm sea, kowtowed three times to the sea god.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Poseidon. We have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child at home. We hope you can bless us to reach the sea safely."

In the minds of fishermen, the sea god is the god who protects their safety at sea. For people who rely on the sea for their livelihood, they must respect the sea god.

Therefore, before every voyage, people would pray to the sea god for a safe journey and a good harvest.

The captain stood up and yawned. He hadn't rested for more than ten hours and was about to take a nap.

The crew member who had just said he would stop working after this job shouted loudly: "Captain! There seems to be someone on the sea!"

The captain was no longer sleepy and woke up instantly. Would they really encounter something strange like in mortal novels and die here?

His mother, wife and daughter at home still depend on him for support, he can't leave them here.

It’s all his crew’s fault!

The captain looked in the direction of the crew member's finger. Under the scorching sun, the sea was sparkling, making the scene in the distance seem a little blurry.

"How could it be a person? Could there be someone falling into the sea?" another crew member asked doubtfully.

"In this kind of sea with no shore, there are still people who survived the disaster. Can we see it?"

"I've seen this plot in some mortal novels. It's about a beautiful girl who falls into the sea and dies. The protagonist rescues her, and then the rest of the story develops. The protagonist either helps the girl get revenge, or she becomes the protagonist's wife."

"Either that girl was transformed from a monster, and because of the difference between humans and monsters, she ended up in a regrettable way." said a crew member who was familiar with secular novels.

"Go to bed early tonight, you can dream about anything." said another crew member.

"If that person in the distance is a person, I will eat the board in my hand!"

The captain blocked the sunlight with his hands and squinted his eyes. He was a warrior so his eyesight was better than the crew members. As his vision gradually became clear.

In the distance, a man was standing on the sea, suspended in the boundless blue, and it seemed that the man was stepping on a sword!

This is deep in the sea, two hundred miles away from the nearest land. How could someone be standing there?

The captain had also heard of monks, but he had never seen one. The man was wearing a gray robe, which did have some of the characteristics of a monk.

What concerned the captain even more was that the man seemed to be waving at him, which was the most fatal thing.

Is that person a monk or a monster?

He had sworn to the sea god that he would lend a helping hand if he saw anyone in distress at sea, and now was the time to fulfill his promise.

"That's indeed a person, let's drive over and save him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crew members who were just joking immediately tensed up and the previous relaxed atmosphere disappeared without a trace. They didn't expect that it was really a person!

They were just joking.

"Boss, do you really want to go over there? I think there's something fishy about this matter!"

"Are you the boss or am I the boss? If you don't listen to me, I'll kick you into the sea and swim back by yourself."

As the boat got closer and closer to the figure, it gradually became clearer, and the crew could see that it was indeed a person. His facial features were well-defined and his face was handsome. He seemed to have a different temperament from ordinary people, with an extraordinary aura.

"He actually stepped on the sword!" said a crew member in surprise.

The other crew members then noticed that the man in the gray robe was standing on a sword. Could this be the legendary immortal?

The ship stopped in front of the strange man, he sheathed his sword and jumped lightly onto the ship.

This person was Xu Yeyu. He accepted a commission from the sect, but this place was very far away from his sect, so far that he needed to connect several maps to find it.

Originally he planned to take a merchant ship, but there were no direct merchant ships to the county town near his destination, and it would be troublesome to go around and take another merchant ship.

So he built a raft and a paddle, planning to travel by raft. When he was in a good mood, he would use the paddle, and when he was in a bad mood, he would use his Qi to paddle.

Unexpectedly, while he was eating, the raft hit a rock and a big hole was made on it.

He had no materials to repair the raft, so he had to abandon it and fly with his sword instead.

But he was only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the true Qi in his body was not enough to fly across the ocean on a sword. After flying for a distance, he had to stop on the sea to restore his true Qi.

Generally, only cultivators above the Foundation Breaking Stage can fly on swords to travel. There are very few cultivators like Xu Yeyu who can fly on swords in the Foundation Establishing Stage.

Soon he saw a large ship and waved to them for help.

And then there was the scene just now.

The captain looked awed and said, "Brother, we fishermen have never seen the world and don't know how to address you."

"Just call me Young Master Xu, or you can call me Brother." He continued with a smile, "Thank you very much for your help, otherwise I might have to stay at sea for a long time before I can continue flying."

After hearing his words, the captain and crew members all determined that the person in front of them was the legendary monk, and only monks could fly with swords.

They thought that the monk would be aloof and disdainful of communicating with mortals, but they did not expect that this monk would be so polite and courteous.

Two crew members pulled the crew member who said he was eating wood planks aside.

"Brother, what did you just say you wanted to eat?"

"If I remember correctly, you just said you wanted to eat a wooden board, right?"

The crew member who said he wanted to eat the wood planks felt a little guilty: "Can I not eat it? I was just joking."

"If you don't eat, are you still a human?"
