195. Looking at the sea
To the north of the east, opposite Iceland to the south of the northern border of the frozen island.
In the afternoon, the sky is clear and cloudless, and sometimes seabirds skim the sea, catching fish and flying, bringing up a drop of water for the fishermen to cheer loudly on the shore. They were also trying to catch fish just now, but they didn't catch anything, so they had to dig some finger-sized crabs on the shore and take them home to eat, and sometimes when the tide was lucky, they could also pick up some oysters that were rolled up by the tide, and there were a lot of reefs nearby, so these guys who stuck to the reef were often remembered by the greedy children.
Between the land and the white Icelandic border, there is a vast area of blue rippling water waves, and no one remembers how many generations have raised the people here, but "the children of the sea eat on the sea" is an old saying left here from a long time ago, and people still live by it.
On the blue edge, just a few kilometers away from the neat little fishing villages, there are temples with red tiles and cornices and orange-yellow paper lanterns.
In the middle, on the contrary, is a very rough style of the tower, less of the exquisite design of those low temples, but more of the vicissitudes of life that have been precipitated for many years, like a mountain that has stood for a long time, surrounded by many temples, enjoying the wind and frost of the world, allowing time to leave traces on it, and then being repaired and sorted out over and over again.
Beneath the tower is a lush elixir garden, in which you can see young disciples in blue hair scarves busy going back and forth, their laughter occasionally blowing with the sea breeze between turning the soil and weeding. There are many petrels parked on the brown tiles above the tower, and the chirping is very noisy, but there is a kind of life and peace against the background of the sound of the waves.
The top floor of the tower was open on all eight sides, and the sea breeze passed through it without hindrance, and a string of red bells hung under the eaves rang, with a salty smell scattered in the air, diluting the calming scent of sandalwood, like a few drops of honey added to a cup of strong tea, which did not overshadow the original taste, and made the man in the room feel particularly refreshed in the meditation.
The man in the room opened his eyes, and the depths of his eyes were an endless blue, as wide and splendid, as wide and splendid, seemingly peaceful and slow, but with the hidden power of brewing an endless storm, close to the sky and the earth.
This middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, handsome and not too pretentious, but has a sense of alienation that is difficult to share with the world, wearing a sea-blue robe, and the long black hair that he is too lazy to take care of hangs down like that, scattered on his collar embroidered with sea stripes, and reaches to his waist and abdomen, which makes his temperament more and more feminine. In fact, this man's age is nearly two hundred years old, and for the cultivators of the Dongsheng Continent, this age is generally an old man, and those who still maintain such a "young" appearance are either old monsters who have cultivated to a special degree, or they are true geniuses whose Dao heart and divine sense are far superior to others, so that the more they cultivate, the more they can jump out of time.
Cultivation is cumulative, but there are only a handful of people who can attain enlightenment and enlightenment in middle age, and most people may choose secret methods to make themselves younger and show themselves in a more spiritual appearance in old age, but this man is not.
But at this moment, the footsteps of someone hurrying upstairs alarmed the man.
"Look, look, Master......! I! I just received a message from Senior Sister Shang! You, look at it!" A young man in his twenties, with his hair tied with a blue hairband, stumbled in, but his steps were too messy and his center of gravity was not steady, and as soon as the young man's ankle twisted, he hit his head on the door frame, and immediately squatted on the ground in pain and wailed in a low voice.
The man frowned, glaring dissatisfiedly at his closed disciple. I would have known that he would accept a calmer junior, such as an honest child like Qin Shi, unlike this child who is frizzy all day long, and is not suitable for guarding the door at all! Where is it suitable to be his own closed disciple...... But it stands to reason that Jiao'er should have come back a long time ago, this has been delayed for more than two days, and the news came at this time, is it because something happened on the road? Could it be related to the sudden high tide and low tide a few days ago, and the fish in the sea suddenly panicked and rushed to the shore?
But this wail also made the man lose the interest in continuing to meditate, and immediately flicked a drop of water from his fingertips, and the drop fell on the young man's forehead, instantly soothing the pain, and the young man quickly got up from the ground, blushing because he had once again lost his temper in front of the master of the temple.
But both the viewer and he are used to it.
The man said gently: "Sun Yan, take a breath and speak slowly, what is the news from Shang Jiao?"
"This ...... I think you'd better see for yourself, Master...... The news that the junior sister said inside should be the reason why a large number of sea fish died inexplicably two days ago. Saying this, this disciple named Sun Yan spread out his palm and presented the small bamboo tube inside.
The man's face was grim, but the bamboo tube poured out the letter, and after reading it several times in silence, he sighed heavily.
"Alas, I knew that such a thing would happen, so I didn't care about being discovered, and I kept possessing my consciousness with Guo Xu's child. I didn't expect to miss such a big thing, the Warcraft Tide, the Sect of Divergent Sects, and the Alder Gate...... The last one doesn't need to worry, they don't use their brains to dare to attack the people of our sect, but they are also a fool who has been used by those major sects...... But it's getting more and more interesting. ”
Sun Yan was a little puzzled: "Master, should we just let them come with Senior Sister Shang Jiao?
The man's gaze swept over the letter in his hand again, but instead of distinguishing the pros and cons, he focused on a few repetitive details, which were the scene of the tide of demonic beasts retold by Shang Jiao, and the scene where those demonic beasts were changed by the Lin clan of that sect, although there was a layer of paper and ink, but the man smelled the prototype of a higher level of power from it.
Today's view of the Dongsheng Mountain Gate has basically reached the bottleneck of the development of the Dao, most of the people who have cultivated to the extreme have the goal of cultivating a small world, since they can't ascend, they always want to become a realm of their own, and they don't think about the consequences of doing so, those people either go mad and fall into the balance of the demonic spiritual power and the divine consciousness is destroyed, or finally be distorted by the power of the small world and space. These people did not die well, but they made their successors more and more poised on this road, always believing that they were more outstanding and could do things that their predecessors could not......
For the Lord of the Sea Spectators, the world is nothing more than genius, mediocrity, and stupidity, and the decisions made by each person are only wavering on the road to becoming one of them. Now, it seems that there is a person who gathers "three talents" in one, and this person has many mysteries, which naturally makes it difficult for the viewer to give up the exploration of her.
From the beginning of embarking on the path of cultivation, the purpose of the Lord of the Sea is not the same as others, he is not for immortality, or even to pursue the true meaning of the Great Dao, but to conceal his own bloodline, so that he is strong enough to be above all living beings, and to avoid the fate of being arrested and tortured to death, so as to survive in this world. Although he grew up in the Dongsheng Continent, this Sea-Watching Lord was not born here, or even born in this world-
He originally fell from another world like the Demon Realm to the Dongsheng Continent, but fortunately, the previous Wanghai Guan Guan took him in, and raised him with his own hands, and protected him from those big mountain gates.
Therefore, the view of the viewer is often from the perspective of a more distant bystander, looking at everything that happens on this continent, and under his rule, Wanghaiguan seems to be extremely indisputable and peaceful.
But even if he had many twists and turns on the way to the path, it was enough to show that he was outstanding to get to this point, but even so, the viewer also caught a glimpse of the end of the path that he could reach, and the extremely abrupt end was like he saw a transparent porcelain fish tank in the sea, knowing that there was a wider world on the other side, but he couldn't take a step.
However, in the memory of the Guan Zhu when he was very young, there was no such imprisonment in the world, at least there was no such sad restriction in the "demon world" where he was very young, and all the cultivators went to the end, but they found themselves as if they were standing on a round ball and returned to the starting point, and they could not go anywhere.
The intuition that had developed over the years of the Guan Master's cultivation told him that these people from the Qi Sect, especially the Lin family, would probably be the key to his enlightenment. At least leave them a favor and befriend these people, so that Wanghaiguan can get far more benefits than others, anyway, for themselves, other mountain gates are not a trouble at all.
The brows that Guan Zhu had slightly frowned on because of thinking just now relaxed: "What stupid things are you talking about, Sun Yan, of course we can't stop your junior sister, these are all guests...... And no matter what, they have also solved the urgent need of my pampered daughter, and when her cultivation process stabilizes, and then spontaneously fuse the golden crow bloodline, her future will be even more open. This kind of kindness is not something to look at the sea, but it is always my own. ”
Sun Yan flattened his mouth: "Then I will reply to my junior sister directly? Just say that you welcome guests to the view? Really! With the temperament of the junior sister, she will definitely have to empty the granary and the medicine garden to fill the scene for these friends, and the people who will lose money will be Wanghaiguan!"
Guan Zhu laughed, this apprentice is usually a little clumsy, everything else is very good, especially in the management of the mountain gate chores, if it weren't for a few elders and stewards, I'm afraid he would have become the leader of Wanghaiguan, Lao Jia has been with himself I don't know how many times, but he has always refused to send him out, just for fear that this personal apprentice will be blinded by the red dust, but now it seems that Sun Yan, this kid has a tendency to develop towards Scrooge.
The viewer waved his hand: "Don't worry about losses, and don't put any cards, just treat it as if my old friend came to visit, ordinary good wine and good food are served, but you don't need to make any big tonic spiritual food, I'm afraid these people will not pay attention to these." You can rest assured that you can receive them, just come and tell me directly if they have any dissatisfaction, if Shang Jiao makes trouble, she will naturally see me first when she comes back, and I will teach her a good lecture at that time. ”
Sun Yan's mouth became even more ugly: "Liar, when did you say that you had made a junior sister! This is already a matter recognized by the whole Wanghaiguan! You have never trained a junior sister!"
The viewer cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Ahem, let's wait for her to come back this time, Jiao'er must be very tired after going out for so many things this time, I'll ...... when she rests."
In Sun Yan's already undisguised disdainful eyes, the viewer had no choice but to turn his face and look at him with a serious look: "So how is the rescue of the seaside fishing village?
When Sun Yan heard that the topic of the transfer of the viewer was too serious, he had no choice but to restrain his expression, honestly reported the situation of the seaside rescue, and asked again at the end: "Then I will go and reply to Senior Sister Shang Jiao now?"
The Lord of the Sea Lookers shook his head: "No, just let them come back directly, I think it should be about the same tomorrow." These letter birds from Esata are really not easy to use, how much more have you survived this time?"
"About seven out of a hundred...... Moreover, the cubs that survived after hatching were basically very weak and could not support long-distance flights at all, and it was still impossible to establish a civilian liaison station like Azata. Sun Yan honestly replied.
The viewer waved his hand and motioned for Sun Yan to go down, and after Sun Yan bowed, he hurriedly ran down the tower in a hurry, and the viewer clearly heard the voice from below, and knew that Sun Yan fell again when he went out of the gate.
The viewer looked outside the tower, the sea and the sky line, the two blues were so harmonious that people were at ease, thinking of the riot of the sea tide a few days ago, the viewer touched the small bamboo slip in his hand again, the time is matched with the tide of warcraft, it seems to be the answer.
But the way they solved the Warcraft tide, even he was amazed.
Assimilation...... Instead of pursuing my world, but achieving that the world is me?
It seems amazing.
The Sea-Watching Lord smiled, watching the sun sink in the west and approach the sea.
It casts countless fragments of light on the blue waves, illuminating the two patches of azure and dyeing the sea and the sky with color.
It wasn't until the sun set, rose again, and when it was sinking in the west, Shang Jiao and his party finally arrived at Wanghaiguan.
Shang Jiao sat in the carriage and asked Xuanyuan Yu again: "Xuanyuan Tongdao, don't you really have to hand over Lin Tongdao to me? at least give it to Su Jiujiu...... You haven't rested for four days, you haven't even eaten and closed your eyes, and ...... go on like this."
Xuanyuan Yu didn't speak, just looked down at Lin Ziyue in his arms: "No, you don't need to treat me as a ...... I don't need those things to stay alive. ”
Su Jiujiu sighed and shook his head at Shang Jiao: "You better go out and tell your fellow disciples first, don't be too extravagant, just find a place to accommodate us." We probably won't be staying long. ”
"Then listen to you, I'll go find someone first, by the way, I'll let my father come and see it when you settle down! He might be able to find a way!" After speaking, Shang Jiao also got out of the carriage like a gust of wind to do what she wanted to do, this time she went out of the far door, and it was indispensable to report to those elders, Shang Jiao was irritable when she thought of this, and she could only hand over Lin Ziyue's affairs to Qizong herself to have a headache.
Lin Ziyue has been in a coma for several days, and she has never woken up since she fell directly in the air that day.
Although his breathing and heartbeat were steady, he fell into a deep sleep...... It's as if you'll never wake up again.
