Is Master happy?

Life at sea is boring, except for daily labor, Xiya spends most of his time meditating in his guest bedroom, occasionally going to the deck to get some fresh air.

It took three days to travel by water, and at dusk for the last three days, I could see some shadows of land. In the distance, at the junction of water and sky, there were several islands floating on the sea. Bai Qi saw the island on the mast, and tapped lightly He headed towards several ships standing side by side with the lead ship, and gave instructions to the helmsman in turn, and then saw the other ships departing separately, each in a different direction.

"Where are they going?" Xi Ya saw from the side of the boat, turned around and asked Bai Ye.

Bai Ye blinked her white jade eyes, and said with a smile: "There are seventeen islands in Haikou, and we have seventeen ships, each going to one of them." He pointed with his finger not far away, "Then That’s where we’re going, the one in the middle of the Haikou Islands.”

"That's it." Xi Ya muttered, stretched his waist, and felt a lot more relaxed.

Bai Qi landed on the deck, scanned his clothes, saw the two of them here, walked over slowly, and said in a flat voice: "You two are free again?"

"Today, today, master asked me to come up to get some air." Bai Ye shrank her neck and stammered, as if she was worried, but Xi Ya was exceptionally calm, she just nodded and said: "Master, I have finished my homework today, and I am just short of it." Uncle Shi pointed out."

Bai Qi sighed lightly, and said: "Tomorrow, it's time to go ashore in a short time, there are a lot of troubles, Xi Ya, you and Bai Ye will help out later, I have other things to do."

"Yes." Xi Ya nodded obediently and watched her leave.

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, turned her head and whispered to Xi Ya: "Do you know what Sister Bai Qi is going to do?"

"I don't know?" Xi Ya shook his head and asked him, "Why are you asking this?"

"I know," Bai Ye looked around and saw that no one was around, so she leaned forward and whispered in her ear: "The people from Xuanyuan Kingdom may have arrived long ago, our two countries will build a sea wall together, sister Bai Qi I just had to go and say hello."

Xi Ya glanced at him sideways when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "You criticize Master Uncle again, aren't you afraid that she will punish you?"

"Don't dare to criticize, don't dare to criticize, I'm just curious." Bai Ye rubbed her face, and didn't dare to say anything more.

When it was getting close to the shore, it was already dark, so Xi Ya followed Bai Ye to pack his luggage, while Bai Qi flew to the other side of the island, and didn't come back until the people of Bai Minguo lit up the bonfire and began to prepare meals.

She greeted the leaders, then went to look around, and finally found the figure of Xi Ya in a remote and dark place outside the crowd, came up and sat beside her, looked at her and said leisurely : "Why don't you sit by the fire?"

Xi Ya looked up, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "This place is good, it's quieter."

Bai Qi glanced at her sideways, smiled lightly, "Be more introverted, it's not different from what Yao Zhou said."

Xi Ya paused for a moment, looked up at her quickly, and then pretended to be casual and asked: "Has Master ever talked about me with you?"

"After a few words, it's nothing more than a compliment to show off." Bai Qi stood up and patted her on the shoulder, "Come on, accompany me to relax, I just don't like excitement."

Xi Ya lowered his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, got up neatly, swept the dust off his clothes, followed her to the forest, away from the noisy bonfire.

There was silence in the forest, the moonlight fell lightly, covering a thin layer, Bai Qi led her to the beach, stepped on the soft white sand, stood quietly by the sea, leisurely watching the tide ebb and flow.

Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, then sighed and asked: "Xi Ya, can you tell me what the scenery of this ancient city is like?"

"Imperial Upper Territory?" Xi Ya frowned and thought about it, and said seriously: "There are cities, villages, markets and shops in the human world, which are extremely noisy. I don't know what it will be."

Bai Qi looked back at her, with a little light shining in his white eyes, "I heard that there are various duties in the world, mortals have their own positions, and there are various festivals and festivals, different customs and customs in different lands, obviously it's just a short time. , but derived many differences, unlike here in the Heaven Realm, there is often no difference from the West Sea to the East Sea."

"Perhaps so..." Xi Ya hesitated a bit, "I haven't been to many places, so I don't know very well."

"You have been to many realms, which is enough to make me envious." Bai Qi chuckled, "I thought that I would go out to the West Sea when I became an adult, travel to other realms after traveling through the ancient realms, and finally go to the mortal world for a while. But until now, the farthest place I have been to is Nanshan.”

"Why didn't the uncle go out for a tour?" Xi Ya asked her aloud, the moment the words fell, she understood in an instant.

In Bai Minguo, there are many things that cannot be separated from her. As the patriarch, how could she leave at will.

Bai Qi didn't complain about anything, and said flatly: "It's nothing more than finding something more important."

"Uncle Master... do you want to go out and have a look now?" Xi Ya leaned forward and asked her cautiously.

"Think about it, why don't you think about it." Bai Qi turned his head and looked at her, smiling unabated, "It's just that now I don't have the drive I used to have, and I don't have the mood of a newborn calf."

"Master said he would take me to the upper realm of Yuntian, Uncle...would you like to visit with us?" Xi Ya looked at her and asked cautiously.

"...No." Bai Qi lowered his eyes when he heard the words, shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Uncle Master..." Xi Ya wanted to speak a few words of advice, but just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light passing by, and nimbly dodged sideways. In a blink of an eye, it was Bai Qi who was holding a silver-white long sword against her stabbed in the body.

With a smile on the corner of Bai Qi's mouth, he said: "That's right, you hid very quickly. I have free time today, so I just came to try you myself."

"Okay." Knowing that she didn't want to talk about that matter again, Xi Ya drew out the Cloud Slashing Sword with his hands behind his back. The two swords collided and clanged. Bai Qi didn't use his immortal power, and the two just met each other with sword moves. After ten strokes, he slowly closed his momentum.

At night, they rested in a tent that was simply set up, and in the early morning of the second day, everyone got up early and gathered on the beach. It was necessary to set up a platform to worship the sky before they could start building the sea wall.

Only then did Xiya see the so-called citizens of Xuanyuan Kingdom, walking around from a distance, all of them were snake-tailed people, dressed in exotic blue embroidered costumes, with countless braids tied on their heads, the leader Dressed in red, the man stopped at Bai Min's country with his clansmen, and nodded to Bai Qi.

There was no need for the people of the two countries to say anything, they all raised their banners and burned incense, and each sent out a wizard holding a jade disc to pray.

Xi Ya watched, but felt puzzled, so he asked Bai Ye in a low voice, "Isn't this the heaven, who are we praying to?"

Bai Ye's expression was respectful, and upon hearing what she said, she just said indifferently: "To the old gods and... Heaven."

"The way of heaven?" Xi Ya muttered softly, feeling some inexplicable emotions in his heart, whether it was doubt or enlightenment, the way of heaven, the way of heaven...what is the way of heaven?

The prayer over there was over, and several people carried the sacrifices to the seashore, and all poured them in. Seeing that the sacrifices were scattered and gone with the waves, nearly a hundred people from the two countries knelt down in unison. When others knelt down, he himself had no choice but to half-kneel.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Bai Qi came to look for her, and said that he would take her to a place where she could practice in peace of mind. Afterwards, craftsmen would do the building of the sea wall, and she was useless.

The two tidied up casually, Xi Ya said goodbye to Bai Ye, and the two left with their swords together, Xi Ya didn't know the direction, and just followed Bai Qi, after staying for several hours, they vaguely saw a On a deserted island, fell down.

The coast of the island is full of barren rocks and gravel, and there is only a green forest near the island. Bai Qi led her for nearly half a day before entering the furthest place. There is a lush red-leaved mulberry tree with a pole like a tall column and branches like a coil. , the canopy is lush and dense, and it is several miles wide.

Xi Ya was shocked by the scene in front of him, and saw a crystal light falling from the canopy of the tree, smashing to the ground.

Bai Qi led her to the other side of the red mulberry tree. There was a stone cottage built by the mulberry tree. Now there was a layer of red leaves on the top and a layer in the courtyard. It looked like a house that hadn't been lived in for a long time look.

Bai Qi's face was indifferent, and he waved his hand and a breeze blew away the pile of fallen leaves. At least he could see the general appearance from the outside. Then the two entered the house, only to see that the inside was already damp and moldy, and the table and cabinet were full of accumulations. The water, the mattress on a wooden bed is as cold as a cold spring.

Xi Ya carefully found a dry place to stand, looked at Bai Qi, hesitantly said: "Uncle Shi, it seems that no one can live in this place."

"I know." Bai Qi returned to her, but his words were so cold, then he raised his hand in front of him, and blew lightly, suddenly a pure white flame burst out, followed by a slight wave of Bai Qi's hand, and then suddenly swept across the whole place. room.

Xi Ya was taken aback, and was about to raise his hand to block the flames, but Bai Qi said: "Don't be afraid."

The flame didn't burn people, it was only slightly hot, wrapped around the room and burned for a while, then extinguished, burning away the moisture inside.

Bai Qi set a spell outside the house to keep out the fallen leaves and dew, and the two rolled up their sleeves to tidy up, at least the house looks liveable now.

It was already dusk after cleaning, Bai Qi urged Xi Ya to do his routine homework, the island had the most rocks, so Bai Qi took some rocks out and piled them into a stone figure, temporarily to be Xi Ya's opponent.

Although I don't know how the sea wall is built on the seventeen islands in the distance, Xi Ya practiced hard every day under the red mulberry tree, and his skills have accumulated a lot. It's just that Bai Qi has to go to the island every day for a few days. Looking for something, Xi Ya asked her, but she refused to say it, which made Xi Ya really puzzled a lot.

One day, the moon and the stars were thin, Xi Ya fought the stone man a few times on the edge of the sea, and when his strength was exhausted, he prepared to withdraw and go back. Bai Qi is not on the island today, so he went to the sea wall to check, Xi Ya No one dared to stay too late at the beach for fear that something might happen.

After washing up for a while, she fetched water and prepared to go back. She took a step, and suddenly heard the sound of "Chi Chi" on the surface of the sea not far away. Under the quiet moonlight, a slender shadow was vaguely seen floating on the sea.
