141 Original sin of mortals
Spending time with a whole bunch of immortals is definitely not a good experience.
Everyone is meditating, and it seems that capturing the little bit of electricity from the electric field is the only serious thing that everyone can do, and in comparison, Wu Xiaoqing is particularly boring and unprofessional.
It seems that these flyers have a tacit understanding with each other, and the distance between them is limited to about twenty meters, no more, no less. If you enter this range, the other person will open their eyes from the closed state and stare at you until you exit the range. As for more than that, it's basically unlikely, there are too many people here.
No matter which direction the eyes look in, it is a dense crowd of people. Wu Xiaoqing felt like he had entered a giant beehive, and he was a disguised bee without wings.
The most uncomfortable thing is the lack of privacy.
On earth, Wu Xiaoqing has never paid attention to this, and he has always felt that he is a big person, in the past, when several buddies went to the toilet together, they compared the size and peeked at each other's love letters to girls...... I don't think it's a big deal. Even in the summer, go swimming in the river in the village, even if there are old women and girls on the shore to watch, Wu Xiaoqing doesn't mind at all.
But when he got here, Wu Xiaoqing couldn't be calm.
The search and rescue team is right about one thing, these flying people do have an absolute advantage over the earthlings physiologically.
It's not just that they don't have to eat or sleep, they can recharge. In almost every other field, this is true.
For example, the sense of smell.
You know, it's a world where it's hard to even drink water, and the overall temperature is warm and pleasant.
Wu Xiaoqing has been here for more than a week.
This means that there will inevitably be some smell on his body, normal humans will secrete some sweat more or less, and the replacement of skin cells will inevitably cause dirt.
But those flying people don't seem to have this problem at all, and when asked about Yan Xiu's topic of bathing, Yan Xiu said that they have never taken a bath in their lives. All of them have reached the realm that the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng said, there is nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. Their bodies are basically perfect, perfect, "hardly" need any external material inputs, and "hardly" produce any waste.
So they look forever ethereal, always clean.
But Wu Xiaoqing doesn't have this function, not to mention those immortals with an unusually developed sense of smell, even Wu Xiaoqing himself can smell this sour smell on his body.
It can be seen that Yan Xiu realized this a long time ago, but he just didn't say it. But others in their vicinity were a little less inclined to put up with it.
"Yan Xiu," someone said to Yan Xiu, "take out the mortals you brought!" Are you going to dispel us by his smell so that you can absorb more aura? ”
Yan Xiu glanced at Wu Xiaoqing and signaled him not to get excited. Yan Xiu didn't say anything to the man, and after the man finished speaking, there was no next move, but after a while, he left the original meditation position by himself. After that person left, a new flying man took up that position, but maybe he also smelled it, so he moved a little towards Wu Xiaoqing a little farther away.
Wu Xiaoqing noticed that when he moved, everyone behind that person also moved a little towards the periphery with a tacit understanding. As a result, as the complainer said, Yan Xiu gained a little more space.
"This is what the Ascension Realm looks like," Yan Xiu said to Wu Xiaoqing, "As long as you have a spirit stone in your hand, others will be afraid of you." ”
But the extra space didn't make Wu Xiaoqing feel better, and he still felt uncomfortable. The eyes of the people around him made Wu Xiaoqing feel that this was not a botanical garden but a zoo, and he was the animal that was being watched.
But if you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it, except for this island, Wu Xiaoqing has no other place to go for the time being. According to the search and rescue team, they have entered the island and a densely populated area. As long as Wu Xiaoqing opened his eyes, he could see a lot of people flying over and over, and there were even several fights, which took place on the periphery of this island. It seems that the duel was caused by a trivial matter, but the tens of thousands of people who meditated on the scene didn't seem to care about any of them, and they all stayed in their own territory as if they were asleep.
The search and rescue team suddenly marked a small red circle in the glasses, and then asked Yan Xiu: "What is on the back of that immortal in white clothes?" ”
Wu Xiaoqing saw the person in the red circle, the other party looked older and was as old as Qingyun Dao, with a flying sword in his hand, but in his hand, he was holding something that looked strange, that thing seemed to be a cauldron, but the bottom did not protrude, and it looked like a round shield, but such a big shield was bigger than all the shields that Wu Xiaoqing saw in the previous mission. And this "shield" is completely round, generally speaking, if the shield is so large, it will not be made into this shape, because the waist is too wide, beyond the need for protection, and if it is to be made round, there is no need to make it so big.
What's more, this is the world of flying swords, and all the weapons are 360-degree attacks without dead angles during the battle, and the speed of the weapons is huge, and the shield is a purely defensive weapon that is almost invisible.
That Dao Master should have just entered this Ten Thousand Souls Island, and after he walked in, he immediately formed a no-man's land with a radius of more than a hundred meters around him, and the other flying people consciously kept their distance from him. According to what Yan Xiu said, the logic that strength determines space, the identity of this shield trapeze should not be simple.
"It's a shield, it's also a magic weapon," Yan Xiu looked at the man and said, "This shield is called the Xuantie Shield, and it's a common magic weapon in the Ascension Realm. ”
"Artifact?" The search and rescue team was curious, "It's the same as the one from your Nine Heavens Gate, the Nine Heavens Magic Mirror?" ”
"Of course, there is a world of difference from the treasure of the Nine Heavens Illusion Mirror. Although this Xuantie Shield is not as wonderful as the Nine Heavens Phantom Mirror, it is also very practical to protect one's life when traveling outside. ”
"What's the point?" Wu Xiaoqing still didn't think that this kind of shield could be of any use in a gravity-free environment. In a gravitational environment, two people face each other, and the interface of almost combat is almost one-dimensional, and the shield can naturally block most of the frontal attacks. But the sword here will fly, and holding a shield in your hand will only delay the opponent's time to control the sword and turn one more corner.
"When the two sides fight against each other, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and this shield can collect the enemy's flying sword."
"Put away the sword? How to receive? ”
"This shield can generate suction, and once the flying sword gets close, no matter how much it costs divine thoughts, it can't escape. Therefore, the Xuantie shield is also known as the sword hunting shield. ”
While he was talking, the Daoist had already approached them, and in terms of the trapeze's territorial consciousness, he was about to enter Yan Xiu's territory.
Yan Xiu's face moved slightly, and he said loudly: "This fellow Daoist, but is there something wrong with him?" ”
"Exactly," the man stopped and continued, just pointing to the spirit stone that Yan Xiu was holding in his left hand, "Your spirit stone is good, it is prepared for the spirit test." ”
"Daoyou has won the prize, and it is used for spiritual testing."
"It's a coincidence, I'm here to prepare for the Spirit Examining Conference," the man glanced Yan Xiu up and down, and said with a smile, "It's just that I have prepared this Xuantie shield below, so I can't afford to prepare the spirit stone." Let's do it, it's simple, you and I have a game, with the shield stone as a bet, if you win, you will go to the conference, and if you lose, you don't have to be embarrassed, and it's not too late to go home and practice for decades. ”
Yan Xiu realized that this person was not good, he put away his meditation posture, stretched his body slightly, and said coldly: "It's really unfortunate, I still have to do something in the next place, and I have no intention of competing with Brother Dao." Brother Dao should take care of himself. ”
"Then I'll be more direct," the other party said with a smile on his face, but in his hand, he had already taken the shield off his back and put it in front of him, "To fight or not to fight, not with you but with me!" Come out and fix it, right? Don't dirty someone else's island, you still have a mortal with you...... Hey, it's okay, mortal, you can run for your life now, and when I settle the matter here, I'll chase you, you have to run faster. ”
As he was talking, the managers who disliked Wu Xiaoqing had already approached, and three or four came at a time, they surrounded the three of them and said to them: "If you have a grudge between you, go out of Wanling Island to solve it, don't spread wild here." ”
The other party smiled: "That's exactly what I mean, everything just looks at the Taoist friend opposite." I'm waiting for him to answer. ”
Yan Xiu mocked: "In this way, this is still mine." Everyone has testified that I have no intention of dueling, and it is he who provokes me. ”
"That's not right," said the old man with the shield, "I ought to say that you provoked us first." Take this stinky mortal to this island of all souls! I just can't get used to it! Big guy say, yes and no! ”
There was a burst of laughter around them, and the few people who had just been slightly driven out by Wu Xiaoqing's smell applauded. Seeing this, several green-clothed Dao people from Wanling Island said to Yan Xiu: "In this case, you should go out, or hand over this mortal - Wanling Island protects every cultivator who comes to this island, but mortals are not counted." ”
Wu Xiaoqing and Yan Xiu looked at each other for a short time, and according to the instructions of the search and rescue team, he nodded lightly. Then he activated the flying carpet and flew towards the outside of Wanling Island.
Yan Xiu soon followed, and Wu Xiaoqing whispered to him: "How sure are you in this battle?" ”
Yan Xiu bit his lip tightly and shook his head gently: "I'll drag the other party here, you can quickly escape back to Jiutian Island, or you may have a chance." ”
"No chance at all?" The search and rescue team said, "How long can you delay?" It took us seven hours to get here, and if we were to hold on, we would have to fight for at least three or four hours. I've seen your battles, and your aura will be exhausted in half an hour at most, and even if you have two spirit stones, it's only within two hours. ”
"I'm afraid it can only drag on for half an hour," Yan Xiu said, "I don't have any experience in cracking the Xuantie Shield. ”
