Chapter 314: Will the Island Disappear?
For many monks, they pay attention to the 'wealth and fortune dharma', and the 'land' refers to the dojo of cultivation. For many attained monks, a good ashram can often do more with less effort, allowing them to embark on a faster state of cultivation.
The Sea Dragon Base that had just been set up a while ago was not Xu Haibao's ideal cultivation dojo. In a real dojo, there can't be too many idle people, etc. If there are too many people in the ashram, it will also disturb the monks' pure cultivation, which is not conducive to retreat and practice.
The turtle and snake island in front of you seems to be far from the inland and very desolate. But for Xu Haibao, as a monk who majored in the water element, this island resembles a Xuanwu, which is more conducive to arranging formations and cultivating and absorbing more water-based aura.
Xuanwu itself is a water-based spirit beast, and rearranging this island, Xu Haibao believes that it is a heaven-sent cultivation dojo for him and the snapping turtle that is the spirit beast protecting the island. Simply furnished, this island is really unusual.
After repairing the four broken pillars of the island, the earth's leylines vibrate, and Xu Haibao could almost believe that this turtle and snake island was far more mysterious than he imagined. But for a short time, you shouldn't be able to see the mystery of this island.
Looking at the tide slowly retreating in the distance, Xu Haibao knew that it was not the tide that receded again, but the island was slowly rising. This ascent is so slow that many people on the island don't even notice it.
After accompanying everyone for a simple meal, Xu Haibao also instructed Tang Xingyou to tell the remaining team members on the salvage ship to take care of the boat. As for Xu Haibao himself, he was busy overnight to prepare for the future cultivation dojo.
Liu Xiaohan, who traveled with the boat, already knew that this island would belong to Xu Haibao in the future, and even for a long time in the future, Xu Haibao would stay on this island. But for Liu Xiaohan, she always felt that this island was not magical.
From Xu Haibao's excited expression, Liu Xiaohan could somewhat guess that this island was only very unusual. This trip made Liu Xiaohan truly feel the powerful power of Xu Haibao as a monk, which simply subverted her previous cognition.
Before going to do things, Xu Haibao also smiled and comforted: "Xiaohan, you look at the warship bird first, I estimate that it will be busy for a while at night." If you want to rest, don't wait for me. No, I'll probably be busy until dawn. ”
"Okay, you go and get busy with you, I'll take care of myself!"
After appeasing Liu Xiaohan, Xu Haibao came to the bottom of the sea again. Standing at the foot of the island, Xu Haibao could feel the earth's veins trembling. Passing by the pulsating power of the seabed, Xu Haibao soon felt that the island was constantly rising.
"There's a mystery to this island!"
An isolated island like a dead thing, which can attract the trembling of the leylines under the sea, is enough to show that this island is different. But as it stands, the island is rising so slowly that almost no one notices that it's rising.
After staying at the bottom of the sea and observing for a while, Xu Haibao found that if he wanted to see the whole island buried under the seabed, he was afraid that he would have to wait for a long time. To Xu Haibao's amazement, the pedestal under the island seemed to be formed by basalt condensation.
What amazed Xu Haibao even more was that the spiritual power that could penetrate the rocks had hit a wall at the bottom of the island. Spiritual power penetrated into the buried undersea base, and only basalt rocks stretching for several kilometers could be seen.
Like a mountain range buried under the sea, it forms an isolated island in the East China Sea. But under the island, what is magical, it is still necessary to wait for the island to slowly surface before it is possible to see some clues.
Coming to the location where the snake's head was, Xu Haibao took out the snapping turtle that was freed in the space, and the half-stunned snapping turtle quickly swam to Xu Haibao's side and lay down. Touching the snapping turtle's raised head, Xu Haibao said, "Look at the new home I found for you!"
As the snapping turtle looked at the island, its eyes suddenly became solemn, and it opened its mouth from time to time to call. Standing on the uneven body of the snapping turtle, Xu Haibao said softly: "Around this island, let's take a look around!"
Stamping lightly, the snapping turtle carrying Xu Haibao quickly swam along the bottom of the island. Judging from the emotions fed back by the snapping turtle, Xu Haibao can also perceive this island, which seems to have an inexplicable sense of intimacy for the snapping turtle.
In view of this situation, after patrolling along the seabed with the snapping turtle, Xu Haibao finally found a place to use the snapping turtle to cultivate, and asked him to stay here to explore the turtle and snake island. Later, Xu Haibao will also make some precautionary arrangements.
Returning to the island, Xu Haibao found the white fat jade that had been exchanged from the Special Chamber, as well as some gold nuggets and copper bricks, from the Nameless Pearl Space, and planned to start refining the array flag. Xu Haibao also tried this kind of formation method for the first time.
Compared with arranging the Spirit Gathering Array, the next Xuanwu Escape Water Array to be laid needs a 'gold inlaid jade' array flag. A kind of formation flag with copper as the base, gold as the edge, and jade as the heart, the spells of each jade talisman are different, and finally the same formation.
Looking at Tang Xingyou and the others who stayed on the other side of the island and refined those gold bricks alone, they were really a little surprised. In their opinion, the boss's methods are becoming more and more mysterious, and he is becoming more and more like a fairy man.
The jade talisman of the water array, Xu Haibao had carved it earlier. What needs to be done now is to wrap the melted gold juice around the jade talisman. As for the copper ingots, they will be used as the base of the array flag, and they will be buried in the eyes of the island.
This kind of flag has a long service life, and of course its price is not cheap. Looking at the array flags that were constantly refined, Xu Haibao also felt that the consumption of true qi and spiritual power was huge. At the end of the night, he only refined a dozen array flags.
Fortunately, this formation is only used for defense and concealment, and the attack power of the formation is not too strong. Therefore, after the formation is formed, it will only hide the location of the array, forming a kind of maze, so that people cannot find the existence of the array.
When the sun rose from the sea level in the early morning, Xu Haibao also took the opportunity to practice for a while. Taking advantage of the fact that his vision was still good during the day, Xu Haibao escaped into the sea around Turtle and Snake Island, and buried the array flag refined at night into the deep sea next to the island.
In addition, Xu Haibao was still on the periphery, spending a lot of effort to move a lot of reefs to lay down the reef formation. Of course, in order to be able to dock the ship and enter the island in the future, Xu Haibao naturally had to open up a navigation line into Turtle and Snake Island.
Once the Xuanwu Escape Water Formation is formed and no one is to guide you, it is believed that the passing ships will not be able to find the right route to enter the island except for hitting the reef. Even in many cases, solo diving fighters are unable to touch the island.
What's more, in the deep sea below the island, there is also the existence of snapping turtles, which are island protection spirit animals. At least in Xu Haibao's opinion, even if some countries send some commandos, he doesn't need to take action in person, and the snapping turtle will let them clean up.
was busy for three days in a row, although he seemed physically and mentally exhausted, Xu Haibao still seemed very happy. When leaving by helicopter, Liu Xiaohan, who accompanied him away, also said curiously: "Brother Bao, the fog here seems to be getting bigger and bigger, did you make it?"
"Well, a lot of people are paying attention to the movements of our salvage ships now, and staying in this area for so long will definitely arouse some people's curiosity. If it weren't for the proximity of this place to China's territorial waters, I am afraid that many people would have secretly sent ships over to inquire about the situation.
The fog that forms now slowly gathers over the island. In two days, even the most sophisticated spy satellites will not be able to discover Turtle and Snake Island under the clouds. And most importantly, will the island disappear soon?"
"What do you mean?"
"You should know the refraction of light, right? When you get to the salvage boat, you'll find that the place where you should be able to see Turtle and Snake Island will become a sea-like existence. Even places where there are no reefs nearby will be treated as many reefs. ”
Use the Xuanwu Escape Water Array to completely hide the Turtle and Snake Island. Even if someone wanted to get to the island, they couldn't find a way to get there. Even soon, this turtle and snake island will make people feel that it has completely sunk in the East China Sea.
The reason for this is that Xu Haibao doesn't want to attract too many people's attention in the future. As the amount of clouds and mist accumulated by the Escape Water Array expands, the sea area will become invisible. If you pass by a ship, you will also be extra cautious in sailing.
Fortunately, the Escape Water Array is more used for defense and hiding, and it is not a harmful formation. Once close to the edge of the formation, those reefs that are exposed to the sea will also remind passing ships not to approach this area.
What's more, according to the nautical charts provided by the state, this sea area is also famous for its many reefs. With the exception of small fishing vessels, large passing vessels do not make this voyage at all. And here, small fishing boats are also rare.
It's not too far from the open sea, and now it's a disputed area where many small fishing boats don't dare to fish. In this way, if you really want to go to the island, I am afraid that you are also a person with ulterior motives.
Before leaving Turtle and Snake Island, Xu Haibao used seven spirit stones to build a small spirit gathering array for snapping turtles in the center of the island. In this way, even if you stay on the island, the snapping turtle can get excellent cultivation.
The extra aura will also spread to the surrounding area, increasing the amount of aura on the island. After Xu Haibao comes to renovate it in the future, I believe that this turtle and snake island, which is about to disappear from the sea chart, will also be rejuvenated.
Regarding the news that Xu Haibao asked for Turtle and Snake Island, the leaders above quickly approved it. In the eyes of these leaders, Turtle and Snake Island is too far inland and is located in an area where the maritime sovereignty of the two countries is disputed.
Such an island is of little significance to the development of the country. The most important thing is that even if there are resources on the seabed nearby, Xu Haibao will not develop them. If the country wants to develop it, I am afraid that it will have to wait for a long time.
When the salvage ship arrived at the Yanmen Wharf, Xu Haibao's trip to the East China Sea was also announced. Liu Xiaohan, who returned to school, was sent to the campus, and Tang Xingyou and others were also ordered to return and go to Fulin Island to rest for a few days.
As for Xu Haibao's words, after sending Liu Xiaohan to the academy, an armed helicopter was quickly docked on the salvage ship's parking platform. When Xu Haibao left alone in a helicopter, Tang Xingyou also gave the order to start the boat in a timely manner.
On the next trip to the capital, Tang Xingyou and they didn't want to participate, and Xu Haibao didn't want them to participate. There are some things that are not all good to know too much. Pretending to be confused once in a while is also a smart person's choice!
