Chapter 709: The Lost Ghost
I frowned when I heard this, looked at Shui Er in confusion and asked, "But what exactly is non-touching the cause and effect of the Three Realms?" ”
Shui'er smiled miserably. "If you don't touch the cause and effect of the Three Realms, it is a person, a thing, no matter how hard you work and how you strive for it, even if you exhaust your life's energy, there will be no result."
In just one sentence, I heard endless sorrow from Shui'er's eyes and words.
It is unacceptable to spend a lifetime without results.
But what is even more unacceptable is that before the beginning of this matter, you already know the result, but you still have to do it without hesitation.
If this is really the case, once I really break through the saint realm one day, then the consequences will be unacceptable to me.
"Scared?" Shui'er asked, looking at me.
I nodded. "I'm afraid."
"Afraid of losing Wei Junyao?" Shui'er asked.
"Well, yes." I replied truthfully,
"But if you don't step into the realm of the Sage, how are you going to fight against the King of the Netherland? How to fight against Inkie? And how to protect her? Shui'er asked.
I looked at her in silence and didn't speak.
"The trade-offs are all in your thoughts, but at this time, you don't have much time to think about the gains and losses." Shui'er said.
"Is there no way to change it?" I asked.
"If I could, there wouldn't be so many demons in this world." Shui'er said.
"Can the devil be exposed to cause and effect?" I asked.
"It can be a cause, but it must be a bad effect." Shui'er said.
"Then the Sage has no cause and no effect?" I asked with a light breath.
"Yes." Shui'er replied.
I shook my head bitterly, not knowing how to speak, because both paths I wanted to choose.
"Maybe that's not what I'm thinking about right now." I said helplessly. "And there is always a precedent for everything, and nothing in heaven and earth is set in stone, right?"
Shui'er looked at me with a smile, nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
The sea of fire was swallowed up by the power of the stars within, and we raised the sails again, and continued the blue-scaled ship towards the depths of the East China Sea Divine Domain.
Wei Junyao's body is depleted of essence, and there is basically no possibility of awakening until I help her find the energy that can replenish the spirit of the blood phoenix.
During the voyage, Shui Er and I spent most of our time on the board of the boat to keep an eye on the weather conditions in the sea area, trying to find the wind blade or the immeasurable thunderstorm as soon as possible, and we would also guard Wei Junyao from time to time with a canopy in the middle, so as to check whether there was any abnormality in her body at any time.
Time passed like this day by day, the East China Sea Divine Domain was vast and boundless, and for more than ten days at sea, we did not see any land and islands, until the sea of fire disappeared, and we did not see where the mountain shadow that Wei Junyao said in his mouth was.
This kind of life is boring and boring.
If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to chat with all the time, I felt that in the face of such a vast sea, and Wei Junyao, who had no goal or direction, and was unconscious in the canopy, I would soon go crazy.
And on the seventeenth day of going out to sea, we didn't wait for the crane fairy, but when the first light of dawn broke through the sky and shot to the sea, we saw the first island in the East China Sea God Domain.
When the mountain shadow of the island appeared, Shui'er and I even wondered if we were mistaken.
At that time, the night had not completely subsided, and I could only see a behemoth standing quietly on the water from the back of the dawn.
"It's the island!" Shui'er cried out in surprise.
The two men stood at the bow of the boat, watching in disbelief as the distant mountain shadows gradually became clear as the dawn brightened, and a smoky, majestic island appeared in their sight.
There really is an island!
After a brief moment of stupefaction, I hurriedly changed the direction of the sail and took advantage of the sea breeze to move the ship closer to the island.
"I'll go check it out first!" Before the boat could get close to the path, Shui Er stomped his feet and rushed out of the boat.
Thump!
The moment she left the boat, the sound of falling water was heard instantly.
The water fell directly from the bow of the boat into the sea.
Startled, I hurried to the edge of the boat and reached out to pull her up.
"What's going on?" I looked at her with a strange smile and asked.
Shui Er's face was also full of doubts, and he didn't care about being soaked by the seawater, so he stomped his feet again and wanted to leave, but his eyes widened in shock, turned his head to look at me and said, "I can't feel spiritual power here." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I instantly understood the meaning of her words, and at the same time tried to urge the Dao Heart at the dantian, and found that things seemed to have returned to the ten-mile long steps in Yuehua Mountain in the past, and the Dao heart was weakly suspended in the dantian, and the light receded, completely losing my control over it.
The two looked at each other, and then turned their gaze back to the island.
The whole island is completely shrouded in a white fog that covers the sky, and it is completely surrounded by seawater, which pushes and crashes against the reef wave after wave, making the sound of high and low waves, like a mysterious place.
The two looked at each other, and Shui Er murmured, "Did you hear that?" ”
I nodded in amazement. "It's a bird's call."
In the sound of the waves, we actually heard the faint birdsong mixed in with it, which made my and Shui'er's brains completely unable to turn around.
At this time, with the sudden shaking of the bottom of the boat, the green scale boat ran aground on the beach of the island.
When the boat arrived here, it was already in the white fog, and the visibility around it instantly became less than ten meters, and faintly forward, and it vaguely saw the corner of the stone staircase, spreading towards the depths of the dense fog.
Shui Er and I didn't dare to get off the boat at the first time, but we just stood on the board of the boat and watched for a long time, and found that when we arrived here, the Dao heart was completely dimmed and there was no light, and we were sure in our hearts that the source of the power that bound the cultivation was on this island.
"What could this be the place?" Shui Er looked up at the layers of white mist on the top of the mountain, and said with a blurred look.
"It shouldn't be the Three Realms Divine Mountain, right?" I said with a wry smile.
Shui'er shook her head. "No, how could the Great Saint Ancestor fall in such a place, this is impossible."
The two stood there and discussed for a while, and decided that Shui'er would stay and take care of Wei Junyao, and I would go ashore first to investigate the situation on the island.
Before getting off the boat, I tried to summon the doom, but I was surprised to find that the Dao heart could not function, and even the doom could not appear.
At this time, Shui Er took out a sword from the canopy and handed it to me, saying, "Princess Junyao's, you take it first." ”
Feng Xiang Sword.
I nodded, grasped the hilt of my sword in my palm, and jumped from the bow of the boat.
But at the moment when the soles of my feet landed, I seemed to hear someone talking, and suddenly a spirit was agitated, and my body froze in place and did not dare to move.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yi?" Shui Er asked with concern at the bow of the boat.
I shook my head, didn't speak, and focused my attention on my ears, and at that moment, there was a squirming, as if someone was putting their mouth to their ears, and the noise of whispering instantly penetrated into the eardrums and echoed in my mind.
"Who?" I whispered.
"What's wrong?" The water seemed to sense my abnormality and tried to jump off the board, but I stopped me.
"You wait for me on the boat, I'll be here soon."
With that, he took a step forward with his sword, but before he could take a few steps, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the white mist in front of him, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps from near to far, and quickly jumped up along the corner of the stone steps.
I didn't dare to chase forward, after all, this is the East China Sea Divine Domain, and any abnormal situation may cost us our lives, I plan to go as far as the stone steps, and if I don't find anything again, I will turn back to the Blue Scale Ship and continue to Han Xing, looking for the Three Realms Divine Mountain.
Rustle rustle......
The sound of all the whispers, like a nightmare, clinging to my ears, at first I just felt a little weird, but now, I began to feel agitated.
I want to lift my sword to cut off the tongues of these long-tongued children with a sword, and return the roots of the ears to a quiet place.
And in fact, that's what I did.
The body uncontrollably swung his sword at the white mist around his body.
Every sword was swung in the air, and every sword exerted all its strength, as if it were not to kill, but to vent anger.
After a few minutes of slashing, my whole body began to sweat profusely.
I took a heavy breath with my sword, and I always felt that on this island, not only could I not use my Dao heart, but even my physical strength was consumed very quickly.
"I can't stay any longer."
I gasped heavily, and no longer waited to reach the stone steps, I turned around and walked behind me.
But the moment I turned around, a humanoid black shadow appeared in the white mist, blocking my way.
"Who are you?" I subconsciously raised my sword across my chest and stared vigilantly at the dark figure in front of me.
The shadow stood silently, not speaking, but I could feel that he was watching me at the moment.
A person and a shadow confronted each other in the white fog for a moment, and the black shadow seemed to turn around, and then walked to the side, a little trying to show me the way.
I was stunned, but the visibility distance of ten meters was very limited, and before I could react, the black shadow disappeared in one direction.
I hesitated, and then walked in the direction where the shadow had disappeared.
In the fog and unfamiliar environment, the speed of walking is not fast, but the black shadow is obviously waiting for me, always maintaining a certain visual distance, and will not let me be lost.
I tried to say hello to him a few times, but he didn't speak, didn't even walk soundly, like a ghost.
Ghost?
When this word came to my mind, I couldn't help but shudder.
I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me that there was this kind of unjust soul in the Yellow River.
Drowned in the river, but his family could not find his body, and his ghost wandered the Yellow River and its banks for a long time, looking for passers-by or boatmen to try to get them to help him find his body.
Although the legend of the East China Sea God Domain has never had a living person survive, there are not a few people who have come to explore throughout the ages, could this figure in front of him be a great power who once died in the sea and wanted to find me to help him transport the body out?
If so, he wouldn't hurt me.
Because Grandpa said that this kind of ghost is a ghost who has lost his way home, and instead of hurting people, it will repay the person who can transport his body out.
The shadow followed forward step by step, although it was not visible in the thick fog, but the sound of the waves could be heard more and more loudly, it should have been at the edge of the island again from the position where it had gone deep before, and after walking for a while, the black shadow finally stopped and stood still.
I stood behind me and hesitated for a moment, then drew my sword forward, the shadow still moving.
Call......
With a soft breath, I clenched the hilt of my sword and walked forward again, and I came behind the shadow.
And the moment I stood on my heels, the black shadow suddenly went into a trance, like smoke blown away by the wind, drifting in the thick fog and disappearing.
And walking here, it also confirmed the previous speculation, the waves hit my legs, and the black shadow led me to the edge of the island.
Not only that, but as I looked down at the waves washing over the beach, a pale-skinned corpse appeared in plain sight.
And so it was......
I let out a long breath at the sight of the body.
It was a lost ghost who wanted to go home and came to me to help.
I looked around, knowing that the shadow would not be hostile to me, so I bent down and held the corpse on my shoulder, and when I turned around and was about to go back the way I came, the shadow reappeared.
Only this time he appeared behind me, not with his back to me, but close at hand, with his eyes open, staring at me.
