The fishing boat sailed on the sea, blowing the cool sea breeze, and the hope of returning to the sect in his heart, Zhan Chen felt more relaxed than ever.

Looking at the vast sea, his mind also broadened, and he called out to a middle-aged man rocking at the stern of the boat: "Lao Jiang, which island are we going to in the Beihai Islands?"

Lao Jiang said with a smile: "Brother Zhan Chen, we are going to Meishan Island!"

"Is it almost there?"

"Not yet, three days to go!"

"Is it so far?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

"Brother Zhan Chen, Meishan Island can be regarded as the closest to our village among the Beihai Islands, and the three-day trip is very close. ”

"Oh!" Zhan Chen was a little disappointed in his heart, after all, this sea was too wide, but he was like an arrow.

The boat soon moved away from the scope of the small fishing village, and Zhan Chen looked around again, there was nothing but the blue overseas, and a sense of loneliness and loneliness arose, and he thought: "This is really a torment for a person to travel on the sea for a long time." ”

"I'd better go back to the cabin and practice first. As soon as he thought of cultivation, his heart was overjoyed, so he turned to Lao Jiang behind him and called: "Lao Jiang, I'll go to cultivate first, if the boat arrives, be sure to call me!"

"Okay, big brother, hurry up!" shouted Lao Jiang at the stern of the boat.

So Zhan Chen submerged in the cabin and began to cultivate.

Three days passed in a flash, and on this day, Zhan Chen was still cultivating, but he heard Lao Jiang shouting outside: "Brother Zhan Chen, we have arrived, we have arrived!"

Zhan Chen's heart moved, and he hurriedly finished his work, walked out of the cabin, and looked forward, only to see that between the sky and water, a touch of green appeared in front of him, and his heart was suddenly ecstatic, after a long voyage on the sea, the happiest thing is nothing more than seeing land.

After a short time, they arrived at the Meishan Island mentioned in the mouth of the old river. On the island, it is very lively, and on the wharf, dozens of boats of all sizes are parked, and the boatmen who come and go are busy loading and unloading some cargo ships.

After Lao Jiang parked the boat, Zhan Chen took out a few silver tickets from Qiankun's bag and stuffed them into his arms, saying, "Lao Jiang, this is for you!"

"But how embarrassed is this?" Lao Jiang had never seen such a large sum of money, and he was a little panicked for a while.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said, "You just accept it, this silver is a drop in the bucket for me." ”

Lao Jiang really needed money too much, and he didn't shirk it, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then! After a pause, he said, "Brother Zhan Chen, I'm actually a little sorry for you. ”

Zhan Chen asked in surprise, "How do you say this?"

"Aren't you going to Jintai Port?"

"Not bad. ”

"But we didn't have a boat to Jintai Port on this Meishan Island. ”

"What's going on?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but get anxious.

"The island that can really go to Jintai Port is the largest island in the Beihai Islands not far from Meishan Island - Yancheng Island. ”

"In other words, do I have to go from this Meishan Island to Yancheng Island before I can return to Jintai Port?"

"Yes. ”

Zhan Chen's expression relaxed and said: "Brother Jiang, don't scare me, I thought I wouldn't be able to reach my destination, it turned out that it would take a lot of trouble, but it doesn't matter, I won't have to go to Yanfall Island again." ”

"When you say that, I'm a little relieved. Lao Jiang smiled.

After saying goodbye to Lao Jiang, Zhan Chen casually found someone around him and asked, "This brother, do you know where there is a boat to Yancheng Island?"

The man replied, "Oh, you said that Yanfall Island, it's a long way from here, it's about half a month's boat ride, and there are several small islands on the way, and ordinary boats can't get there." But don't worry, we have a regular boat here every month that goes there. ”

Zhan Chen asked excitedly, "Then where can this ship be boarded and when will it set sail?" ”

The man replied, "If I'm not mistaken, it will be half a month." On that day, you'll be at this location early in the morning and wait. The ship was very large, three stories high, and the hull was carved with a dragon pattern, which was easy to identify, but the ship was a little more expensive, and it cost 500 taels of silver!"

"Do you have to wait for half a month?" Zhan Chen was a little disappointed.

"Yes, there is no way, I have to wait. ”

Zhan Chen nodded helplessly, turned around and left, he wanted to find a hotel to stay in first, and then wait here for half a month.

So, I first came to a hotel and ordered a few drinks and dishes to drink myself, but I heard two people talking about it.

One of them asked, "Brother, I first came to Meishan Island, and I don't know where to go around here." ”

Another person said: "Hey, you are the right person to ask! Although this Meishan Island is not big, it is famous for its scenic spots, especially the Meishan Mountain in the center of this island, which is nearly 2,000 zhang high, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, the snow scenery is beautiful, but the mountains are warm like spring, and the flowers are in full bloom, especially in this season, it is even more beautiful. ”

"And the mountains are full of aura, climbing in this is really pleasant, and the exhaustion is gone!"

"Oh, then I really need to go!"

"By the way, if you don't miss one place on the mountain, that is, the small Sumeru Temple on the mountain, then you must go!"

"Why?"

"Because I heard that the presiding master of this small Sumeru Temple, Master Zhiyuan, has migrated from the very center of the Ten Thousand Laws Continent. He is not only highly cultivated, but also proficient in the Dharma, good at enlightening sentient beings, and the most rare thing is that he also has a bodhisattva heart, is willing to give, and is approachable!"

"Oh, what is the state of Master Zhiyuan's cultivation?"

"It's hard to say, I've just heard people say it, it's unfathomable!"

"That low-level martial artist who has cultivated as a martial artist like me, will the master meet?"

"At first, I thought that it would not, but after I went up the mountain with the others, the master personally met us and recited the Dharma and Buddhist scriptures for everyone, so that my soul was baptized, like a spring breeze. After I listened to his teachings, my mind suddenly cleared up, and I went down the mountain, and the next day I broke through!"

"Oh, it's so magical! It just so happens that I have also broken through the bottleneck, it seems that I have seen this Zhiyuan mage! I will go up the mountain tomorrow and admire the master's demeanor!"

Hearing this, Zhan Chen also faintly felt moved, and thought: "There is still half a month to go, why don't I also go to the top of this Mei Mountain to have a look? Especially this Zhiyuan Master is worth seeing, maybe he can also gain something from his lectures and make a breakthrough!"

So, he first rented a room in the hotel at the foot of Meishan Mountain, rested for a day, and the next morning, followed a few tourists and walked straight to the top of Meishan.

Along the way, it is really full of flowers, lush, the higher you go, the more you can see a lot of rare spirit trees and grasses, planted on the side of the road, and no one picks them. These spiritual grasses and trees have injected a spirit of spirit into the mountains, making the surrounding environment more and more quiet, and the apes and birds in the forest are endless.

Zhan Chen gradually came to the top of the mountain at an altitude of nearly three thousand meters, and at this time, the concentration of spiritual energy in the mountain also climbed to a peak, and it actually formed a spiritual mist around him, and when he took a casual breath, he felt that he was light and healthy, and he seemed to have the illusion of returning to the cultivation tower again.

Zhan Chen was secretly envious in his heart, this was really a naturally formed excellent retreat environment, if he could cultivate in this mountain for a long time, why worry about not being able to cultivate by leaps and bounds?

Suddenly, a commotion and agitation sound came from afar, and he looked up, and in the distance, a white jade belt ran down from the high mountain, hitting the mountain rocks, forming a unique rhythm, which was a spectacular waterfall.

He couldn't help but stop for a long time and savor it. After a long time, I turned around, continued to climb towards the mountain, walked hundreds of meters, came to a wide flat land, a simple big temple stood horizontally in front of me, the radius was more than 100 zhang, the main hall tower of which was scattered, it was a grand view.

And the vermilion courtyard wall is covered with traces of vicissitudes, and adds a bit of historical weight and mystery to this temple, which is the destination of Zhan Chen's trip - Little Sumeru Temple.
