[884] parted ways, the lair of the Daomen
"Let's go!"
Xia Wuren's determination undoubtedly gave us great confidence, and the big ship soon set sail again, and under Xia Wuren's guidance, it followed the road map he had drawn, zigzag......
Facts have proved that the road map drawn by Xia Wuren is really effective!
It didn't take long for me to be keenly aware that Penglai Island, which was originally vague in front of me, had become more and more condensed at this time......
Obviously, we are indeed getting closer to Penglai.
And the so-called "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", this saying is actually the same at sea, because it does not seem to be a very long distance, but it took us nearly five hours of sailing time!
And with the greatest horsepower, we sailed nearly 300 miles, and then we reached the vicinity of the island!
It was only then that I finally got a glimpse of the entire island. It's big, but it doesn't have the kind of overseas fairy mountain scenery I imagined, on the contrary, what we see at this time is almost completely in ruins.
The swarthy earth was riddled with holes, and there was not even any trace of vegetation growing on it, as if it had been bombarded by a nuclear bomb, and it was a desolate and apocalyptic place.
And at the other end of the island, there is a volcano that is constantly gushing out, although there is no trace of magma, but there is a large amount of volcanic ash to cover the sun, almost the entire island is covered with a thick layer, adding a bit of depression and slaughter.
This is where my grandfather used to fight?
Even after nearly 20 years, Penglai Island still seems to still have traces of the battle of that year, the black soil full of holes, the low mountains that have almost completely collapsed, and the black-brown blood stains on the rocks that have long dried up, all of which show the tragedy of the battle that year.
"Quick! Turn off the engine, you can't go any further! ”
As soon as he arrived within about five miles of the island, Xia Wuren couldn't help but turn off the engine for the first time, and then said with a solemn face: "The vicinity of Penglai Island is full of dark wood, and it is not excluded that there are traps arranged by the 'Huidao Gate', for the sake of safety, let's take small boats to land separately!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xia Wuren hurriedly let people put down the dinghy, and the dinghy could only carry about ten people in total, for the sake of caution, Xia Wuren and I did not board the dinghy at the same time, but Xu Jingyang and I led a few disciples of the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" to land first. Xia Wuren and the elder of the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" continued to stay on the big ship, just in case.
Fortunately, Xu Jingyang and I landed smoothly, and after making sure that there was no danger around, Xia Wuren and the others took the dinghy one after another and continued to land.
At the same time, Xu Jingyang also got in touch with the Religious Affairs Bureau's base camp on Penglai Island, and I believe that it won't be long before someone will come here to pick us up.
Sure enough, after we waited for about half an hour, several officials from the Religious Affairs Bureau finally arrived at the scene. But we were asked to sail to another landing site on the island, because the headquarters of the Religious Affairs Bureau was actually set up at that landing site, and only that part of the entire island was completely under the control of the Religious Affairs Bureau!
In desperation, the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" and his party, which had just successfully landed, could only take a small boat to board the big ship again.
When it was our turn, Xia Wuren paid an extra eye, and took out the "Wujin Xuantie Rod" on the spot, and after carefully sensing it, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, which stopped me and Xu Jingyang who were about to board the ship.
Xu Jingyang and I immediately understood, so we discussed with several officials of the Religious Affairs Bureau, and asked them to take the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" and his party to the base camp of the Religious Affairs Bureau first, while Xu Jingyang and Xia Wuren and I planned to act alone.
Judging from Xia Wuren's actions just now, it is not difficult to guess that the entrance to the "Tianchi Secret Realm" should be not far from here. Instead of delaying the time to rush to the base camp of the Religious Affairs Bureau, we might as well find a way to enter the "Tianchi Secret Realm" here!
Several officials of the Religious Affairs Bureau, knowing that we were special, did not say much about it, nodded their heads, and only briefly admonished us, and then left us and boarded the big ship.
As for the shipowner who accompanied us before, he naturally went to the base camp of the Religious Affairs Bureau with them at this time.
The purpose of our trip is to enter the "Tianchi Secret Realm" to find an opportunity, so it is naturally inconvenient to take an ordinary person with us, so let him go to the base camp of the Religious Affairs Bureau to rest first, which is undoubtedly the most reasonable plan at present.
Seeing that we were not traveling with them, the elder of the Heavenly Master's Mansion suddenly had a flickering eye, and his expression was extremely complicated for a while.
They are all old and sophisticated guys, and with his eyesight, he can naturally guess that we should have other ways to enter the "Tianchi Secret Realm". Of course, he wants to follow us into looking for opportunities, but unfortunately our relationship is not good, so it is naturally difficult to talk about it at this time!
After a moment's hesitation, he chose to give up, and the ship set sail, but he just bowed his hand at us, thanked us, and followed the ship away with a gloomy face.
"Let's go!"
After watching the big boat go away, Xia Wuren didn't hesitate anymore, and took Xu Jingyang and me to disappear on the beach.
As Xu Jingyang and I expected, according to Xia Wuren, he really sensed the opportunity of the "Tianchi Secret Realm" through the "Wujin Xuantie Rod", and the entrance should be not far from here.
Hurrying all the way, the front can't help but become more and more desolate, the ground is full of thick volcanic ash, and there is no living creature in sight.
And the further we went, the thicker the ash on the road ahead, almost like snow, and in the back, the thick ash was almost up to our knees.
"Holy!"
Looking at the thickening volcanic ash around here, I couldn't help but stop on the spot, and then the fox asked with a fox face: "Are you sure this ghost place is the legendary Penglai Immortal Island?" ”
I really can't imagine that the "Huidaomen" would choose this nest here, this ghost place where birds don't, and even plants can't grow, let alone where humans live.
"Nothing strange!"
Xia Wuren shook his head directly, urging me to continue moving forward, and said with a smile: "I have already said it, what you see may not be true!" Go a little further and you'll know ......"
As soon as the words fell, Xia Wuren didn't say anything more, so he quickened his pace and rushed straight to the crater in front of him.
Look at this posture, could it be that the crater in front of you is still a cave?
Or is the entrance to the "Heavenly Pond Secret Realm" actually hidden near the crater?
Seeing Xia Wuren's determined face, Xu Jingyang and I suddenly smiled bitterly, and we could only follow Xia Wuren to continue to move forward, hoping that the situation was really as he said, there was no hole ahead......
As time went on, the burning sensation in the air became more and more intense, and at this time, we were very close to the crater.
"Huh?"
It wasn't until this moment that I couldn't help but suddenly let out a snort, and the Qi field suddenly poked out, and I was shocked to find that in this scorching air, there was an extremely strong fire attribute energy!
This can't help but remind me of the Maoshan Sect's "Fire Pure Yang Palm", this is a fire attribute exercise, if you cultivate here, it can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
I seem to have somewhat believed what Xia Wuren said just now, although the environment of this ghost place is harsh, it seems to be of great benefit to some special cultivators!
The further we went, the more obvious that feeling undoubtedly became, and the scorching sensation in the air forced us to stretch out the Qi field defense! Because without the protection of the Qi field, the scorching air alone can almost burn our skin......
"This should be it!"
Suddenly, Xia Wuren stopped all of a sudden, and said with a solemn expression on his face: "Unexpectedly, the entrance to this 'Tianchi Secret Realm' actually happens to be hidden in the lair of the 'Huidao Gate'!" ”
"Huh?"
It turns out that this crater is actually the nest of the "Huidaomen"?
With a sigh of surprise, Xu Jingyang and I couldn't help but change our faces drastically, and couldn't help but hurriedly asked, "This can't be another conspiracy, right?" How can there be such a coincidence in this world? ”
"That's hard to say!"
Xia Wuren's expression became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but take out the "Wujin Xuantie Rod" again, and in an instant, the black stick, which was originally plain, suddenly lit up with bursts of strange light at this time! The runes on it flickered, and it really pointed in the direction of the crater not far from here!
"I can't care so much!"
It was only at this time that Xia Wuren spoke: "Even if it is really a conspiracy, we have no way to retreat now, the old director and Xiaoyi have all entered here!" I'm afraid we'll have to get in there as well! ”
