[I'm sorry.,I can't log in today.,Chapter update is late.,Sorry.,Add more tomorrow!]
Coming out of the God King Cemetery, the two did not stay, this time both of them had a big harvest, they had to go back quickly to digest the gains this time, and when they left, Zixin also asked Sun Chen if he was willing to go to her family.
Sun Chen didn't agree, but he still said that he would definitely go if he had a chance in the future, but not now, he would definitely go to the Zi family, but not now, his strength is too weak now, and the Zi family can kill him with a random elder, and he doesn't like the feeling of being under the roof.
Seeing that Sun Chen was unwilling, Zixin snorted coldly and flew away, Sun Chen touched the tip of his nose, expressing helplessness and speechlessness, this can also offend her?
Sun Chen didn't dwell much on this matter, identified the direction, and flew away, because the sect competition of the Wuji Immortal Gate was about to start, and he had to hurry back, after all, Sun Chen also had expectations in his heart for the Yin and Yang Dao of the Wuji Immortal Gate.
Sun Chen now first has to determine his location, he is now a strong man with a sevenfold spirit pattern, but he can be regarded as a strong person, of course, referring to his contemporaries.
The energy contained in his body was far more than that of the ordinary Spirit Pattern Realm, and when he flew up, he was blessed with the level of "Wings of the Underworld", and his speed was almost comparable to that of the Heavenly Cultivation Realm, but he didn't see any towns exist after flying for a long time.
In the end, his spiritual power was exhausted and he fell down on the edge of a large lake.
Looking at the almost boundless lake in front of him, Sun Chen felt speechless, did he actually get lost? This made him feel a little cheap, a monk actually lost.
He thought carefully about the memories in his mind, trying to find a record about this great lake, but he didn't expect to really let him find it, this big lake has a strange name "Bitter Sea!"
He didn't know why a big lake was called "Bitter Sea!", and he also knew that after he crossed this big lake, he would go to a place called "Spring River City", and as long as he passed that city, he could return to the range of the Infinite Immortal Gate.
After understanding the general situation, Sun Chen jumped up, ready to fly over this big lake, but as soon as he flew up, he felt a pressure pressing on him, he retreated, and then passed, repeatedly tried and found that only the range of entering this big lake would be restricted, which made him surprised.
However, how to cross the river has become a problem, is it a detour? No, he immediately overturned this idea, if he detoured, I don't know when he will be able to return to Wuji Immortal Gate, Sun Chen was thinking hard about countermeasures, and suddenly there was a voice, "Little brother, do you want to ferry?"
Sun Chen's eyes lit up, and when he went to the ferry, he saw someone coming, an old man in gray on a small boat, gently rocking an oar, paddling the lake, and slowly walking towards the shore.
The old man was about seventy or eighty years old, his beard was white, his eyes were dull, he seemed to be a mortal, Sun Chen observed carefully, he didn't believe that an ordinary old man could come and go freely on this big lake.
However, after Sun Chen's repeated observations, he still didn't find anything special about the old man, but this did not make Sun Chen completely unguard himself, but he was more vigilant in his heart.
The old man seemed to see what Sun Chen was thinking, and said with a smile, "Little brother, I have been on this big lake all my life to attract guests back and forth, the origin of this bitter sea, I will tell you in detail, little brother, please get on the boat!"
Sun Chen stepped into the boat and stood in it, a small table was placed, two small stools, and a pot of tea was boiling next to it, steaming.
The old man took the oars of the boat, and the boat suddenly went offshore, and under the impetus of the lake, it went to the other side.
The old man smiled faintly, pointed to the stool on the boat and said, "Little brother, please sit", said, I don't know where to find two cups, poured out the boiled tea, poured two cups, and gave Sun Chen a cup, "Little brother, please try this tea, this is a good thing, it is boiled and brewed in the water of this lake, but it is a must!"
"Oh?" Sun Chen was surprised, but he didn't go to serve the cup, but looked at the old man, the old man smiled faintly, picked up the teacup, drank it, and said while drinking, "Little brother, do you know why the old man is reluctant to leave this big lake, one of the reasons is this tea!"
Sun Chen picked up the teacup, shook it slightly, a few wisps of floating leaves swayed, looked at the tea reflecting his shadow, and said while drinking, "Oh?
The old man shook his head, and did not answer Sun Chen directly, but said, "Do you feel it?"
Sun Chen just wanted to shake his head, suddenly, he drank this cup of tea, which brought him a special feeling, he tasted it carefully, there was confusion in his eyes, as if he was struggling, as if he was helpless, and finally he opened his eyes and said, "It seems to understand whether you understand or not!"
There was a smile in the old man's eyes, and he wiped away his wrinkles and said, "You are very honest, when I tell you the origin of this lake, you will have a rough understanding!"
The old man poured the tea in the cups of the two again, looked into the distance with cloudy eyes, and seemed to say to himself, "Have you discovered the prohibition, do you know how it came about, and why is this lake called the Sea of Bitterness?"
The old man didn't look at Sun Chen's eyes, and said while drinking tea, "Legend has it that there was great power in ancient times, it was an era of ten thousand races, among which there was a demon named reincarnation, this demon was powerful to the sky, he fell in love with a woman, that was a proud girl of the sky, and then the woman used him for some reason, and then he turned himself into this big lake, called "Bitter Sea!", speaking of which, the old man stopped and said, "Do you understand?"
Sun Chen drank the tea one after another, savoring the special feeling in the tea, he frowned slightly, and then let go, there was a flash of essence in his eyes, he raised his hand and bowed, "Thank you, old man!"
The old man smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "That's because you have a good understanding, some people don't understand it all their lives, and even if they do, they will continue to walk, just like me, otherwise there will be no such sea of suffering, hahaha!"
Sun Chen's eyes flickered, and finally got up and bowed, "I, Sun Chen, swear again, with this lake as evidence, if I, Sun Chen, can take that step one day, I will definitely come here to resolve this sea of suffering and rescue the old man from this sea of suffering!"
"Okay, Sun Chen, I really didn't misunderstand you!" The old man laughed, waved his big sleeves, and suddenly the sky turned, and when Sun Chen saw it clearly, he found that he was still on the boat, and the boat had not moved from beginning to end, but at this time, he was no longer on the lake he had just come, but on the other side.
Sun Chen's eyes flashed, but he was not too surprised, he had long known that the strength of this old man was extremely powerful, but now it seemed that he still underestimated him, it seemed that it was not easy for him to complete that agreement.
Sun Chen didn't say much, but got off the boat and bowed to the old man, the old man smiled faintly, rowed the oars, the boat gradually moved away, slowly engulfed by the fog, and faintly heard the old man's vast singing.
Sun Chen watched the old man leave, he wiped the cold sweat on his head, his journey can be described as the most dangerous one in his life, on the surface it seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging secretly, if he is not careful, Sun Chen may be killed by this old man.
The old man knew his identity from the beginning, and this lake was already weird, but it made people feel that he was very normal when he was already weird, and then he let him get on the boat through Sun Chen's curiosity and helplessness.
Sun Chen could roughly guess some abnormalities, but he was really in a hurry, secondly, he did have some curiosity about this lake, and thirdly, Sun Chen didn't think that this old man's strength was strong, and he couldn't imagine that this old man was trapped in this lake, so he got on his boat.
After that, he asked Sun Chen to drink tea, Sun Chen was jealous, and did not drink it, so the old man picked up the teacup and drank tea in his usual life, so as to eliminate Sun Chen's suspicions, and took the opportunity to use the legend of the bitter sea to lead to a topic, and let Sun Chen understand something, which eliminated most of Sun Chen's doubts, because in Sun Chen's original thoughts, the old man would not be too simple, and the old man gave tea to help Sun Chen realize that this move undoubtedly made Sun Chen believe in him more.
At this point, Sun Chen invisibly received the benefits of the old man, and then the old man deliberately showed a flaw, because there was no fire under the tea stove, the teacup was even more age-old, and the tea was a big flaw, because Sun Chen deliberately shook it, he found that although the tea was true, it was without lines, which was undoubtedly a failure.
So, this is also the scene where Sun Chen swears, Sun Chen thanked the old man several times, one is the old man's ferry, the second is to thank the old man for his enlightenment, and the third is that the old man handed him one thing, that is, don't trust others easily.
Sun Chen shook his head and sighed, this time it can be regarded as buying a lesson, he is still too young, but this is not to blame Sun Chen, after all, it is an old monster who does not know how many years he has lived, thinking of the dialogue with the old man along the way, Sun Chen is still terrified when he thinks about it now, because almost every word he says with the old man is on the verge of life and death.
Sun Chen strode forward, he glanced back at the "Bitter Sea" lake, there was a glint in his eyes, and he kicked it under his feet, and suddenly took off.
Sun Chen walked all the way, and after a while, he saw a city in the distance, he thought for a while, saw a big river in front of him, and knew in his heart that this was Chunjiang City, and the big river under his feet was Chunjiang.
Thinking that Sun Chen descended the clouds and walked on foot, this city is not far from the Wuji Immortal Gate, Sun Chen is not in a hurry, firstly, he wants to inquire here about the recent situation of the Wuji Immortal Gate, and secondly, he also wants to rest and replenish the food, although they don't eat or drink for half a month, after all, he has not cultivated to that extent, and secondly, this mortal food is also a kind of enjoyment, and he doesn't want to abandon it.
Sun Chen walked all the way, there were many monks who were similar to him on the road, he took a look, there were actually a lot of Spirit Pattern Realm, and even he saw one or two powerhouses of the Heavenly Cultivation Realm.
Sun Chen was a little confused, could it be that the strength of this Chunjiang City is so strong, there are so many cultivators, and the strength is not weak, Sun Chen frowned, and didn't ask more, after all, here, maybe someone will see that he is an outsider, maybe someone has already targeted him, after all, as long as Sun Chen doesn't run the exercises, almost no one can see his bottom line, at this time, he is an ant in the flesh realm in the eyes of others, and he can't pinch it as much as he wants.
Although Sun Chen is not afraid, he doesn't want to cause more trouble, but there are often some things that don't happen to you if you don't hide from them.
Suddenly, there was a sentence in front of him, "Brother Zhang, I saved your sister for you, I'll go first!"
As soon as the words fell, Sun Chen saw a little girl thrown over by a figure, Sun Chen subconsciously caught it, and then he consciously carried the black pot for others, and his face suddenly turned black.
The few people who were originally entangled with the young man saw that the little girl was caught by Sun Chen, and immediately rushed towards him, and drank "It's him, he's that kid's helper!"
