Chapter Seventy-Four: Searching for Spirits on a Desert Island
"Shopkeeper Yan, why are you here?"
"Shopkeeper Ye, there are important matters to discuss."
"Inside, please." The two greeted each other, and Ye Ming invited Yan Hong into the backyard of Mingzhenxuan, made a pot of tea, and invited him to use tea. Yan Hong is self-cooked, and he is not polite, so he drinks the spiritual tea.
Ye Ming saw that Yan Hong finished drinking tea, poured another cup for him, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yan came in a hurry, wouldn't he come here specifically to drink tea with me?" ”
Yan Hong was about to drink the second cup of spiritual tea, when he heard Ye Ming's words, he put down the teacup in his hand, snorted twice, and laughed: "Your craftsmanship is a little different from last time!" This tea color seems to be elegant, the tea taste is sweet and heavy, and the aftertaste is long, wait for me to drink another cup. ”
"You, five big and three coarse, people who don't usually drink tea, still learn from others to be vassals and elegant, and talk about tea ceremony. I was in a hurry just now, but now I'm coming to hang my appetite again, so let's get down to business. Ye understood Yan Hong and quipped.
Yan Hong picked up the cup and drank half of it, and was buried by Ye Ming like this, and the tea in his mouth also squirted out.
He said with a depressed face: "There was a benefit, I wanted you to go with me, with your attitude, it should not be uncommon, you didn't come." He was about to get up.
Ye Ming pressed Yan Hong's thick arm, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Yan, you say." Listen, little brother! ”
Yan Hong drank the tea residue in the cup, took out a piece of animal skin from the storage bag, put it on the table, and motioned Ye Ming to check it, "Look at this thing." ”
Ye Ming saw that a simple map had been drawn on the animal skin, and a few lines had been drawn on it. I didn't see what was going on for a while, so I asked, "What kind of map is this?" ”
Yan Hong showed a hint of pride on his face and said, "This animal skin is recorded on a map from three thousand years ago, and many place names on it are very different from now. Don't say it's you, even a monk like me who was born in Yueyang can only read half of it, and it's normal that you can't understand it. ”
Ye Ming pursed his lips and said, "It can't be the Ancient Monk Cave Mansion, right?" ”
"You know?" This time it was Yan Hong's turn to be surprised.
Ye Ming pointed to the map with his finger and said, "I guess, except for the ancient monk's cave mansion, who would be idle and make such old things."
Besides, this animal skin is made of a kind of monster animal fur that has long been extinct, you see, the ink drawn on it has been worn away for thousands of years, and some of it has fallen off naturally, and ordinary counterfeiting can't be so clever. ”
Yan Hong smiled at Ye Ming and said, "This map is indeed a record of a secret realm of caves created by ancient monks, do you know that the red leaves are scattered?" ”
Seeing Ye Ming shaking his head, he explained: "Hongye Sanren is a master of the late stage formation of the Yueyang Sea in our Yueyang Sea, of course, some people say that she is the Yuanying realm.
Legend has it that she settled near Mount Yuelu to practice,...... How about it, are you interested in exploring together? ”
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ming agreed to Yan Hong's invitation and decided to join the team to explore the Red Leaf Sanren Cave Mansion.
After spending a few days preparing to go out, Ye Ming explained to the two guys recruited by Mingzhenxuan, and then embarked on the trip with Yan Hong and the others.
There were six people in the group, and the other four were also invited by Yan Hong, and they were all monks in the foundation building realm.
After exchanging names, several people took care of themselves and stood on the teleportation array leading to the Yuebei Sea area.
Ye Ming was a little surprised when he saw one of the young men in the middle stage of foundation building, this person's name was Min Feng, he was a disciple of the Yueshan Sect, Ye Ming had seen this person take the lead in the Star Secret Realm to participate in the encirclement and suppression of himself.
Min Feng's appearance still made Ye Ming feel a little unhappy, but he couldn't show his emotions, after all, he used to be a smuggler Hu Shuo.
Ye Ming and the six of them got off the teleportation array, and when they left Yuebeifang City, they flew towards the northern imperial sword at great speed, and a few days later, they came to an extremely remote desert island in the Yuebei Sea.
The island is about 300 miles long, and the island is lush and green. It stands to reason that such a large island would be occupied by monks or mortals, but I didn't expect a few people to fly around the island and not find a single one.
However, according to the terrain on the animal skin map, several people repeatedly speculated, and finally determined that this island was undoubted.
Ye Ming and the six of them landed their flying swords and walked cautiously towards the middle of the island, there was nothing unusual on the way except for some ordinary beasts and seabirds.
Everyone gathered together to discuss for a while, and they all thought that they had come to the right place this time, and that there was no abnormality found on this island, which was the most abnormal place.
When everyone walked around the island and found nothing special, they returned to the center of the island.
"Fellow Daoists, what have you discovered?" The crowd was invited by Yan Hong, and when he saw everyone returning, he asked each other.
"It stands to reason that an island of such a size doesn't have small spirit veins, at least there should always be micro spirit veins. Have you found any spiritual veins? Qin Miaohan, the only female cultivator among the six, frowned slightly, and said what she was puzzled about.
"I have carefully explored the island several times with my divine sense, but I have not found any spiritual veins." Qin Mao's cultivation was the highest, and what he said was what others also wanted to say.
"You say, will the spirit vein be under the island?" Qiu Zhen was the lowest cultivator among the six of them, but his words made Ye Ming and the others' eyes light up, and their faces showed joy.
"If Senior Brother Qiu discovers the Cave Mansion, let's give you a credit, Yan Daoyou, don't you say?" As soon as Min Feng said this, everyone else looked at Yan Hong.
"I'm fine, what do the others say?" Yan Hong glanced at everyone and returned.
"The person was called by Brother Yan, and he said that he had no opinion, so naturally I had no opinion." Ye Ming immediately expressed his attitude.
"It's okay for our brother and sister, the key is how to divide the treasure after finding it." Qin Mao and his sister Qin Miaohan glanced at each other, and then expressed their attitude.
"Since everyone is fine, let's discuss how to divide the treasure! Brother Qin, the opinion was put forward by you, if you have any good suggestions, you can say it, if other people have different opinions, we will discuss it again. Yan Hong glanced at everyone and motioned to Qin Mao to say.
"Otherwise, let's divide it according to the common practice in the immortal cultivation world, whoever contributes more will share more, and as for whose merit is too large, it can be evaluated by everyone, which is also the most reasonable.
For example, Yan Daoyou provided a map, and also called us to participate in this treasure hunt.
If the cave is found under the island, Qiu Daoyou will take the first of the remaining treasures.
And so on, if the treasure is not enough, everyone will bid for it, and the spirit stones obtained will be divided according to the proportion of the merit.
What do you think of my proposal? Qin Mao touched Qin Miaohan with his elbow, Qin Miaohan thought for a moment and said what he was thinking.
Yan Hong laughed out loud and said, "I agree." ”
"Brother Qin, your sister is good, she thinks about it very thoroughly. Did she find a Taoist partner? ......" When Qin Miaohan spoke, Yan Hong looked at her delicate face, showing appreciation, and after he nodded in agreement, he said to Qin Mao.
The others also expressed their opinions, and then everyone dived under the sea and searched for them.
After Ye Ming pinched a trick to avoid water and dived dozens of feet underwater, he took out the water-avoiding beads.
With the protection of the shield light curtain to avoid the water beads, it was too convenient, and he quickly flew to the bottom of the sea and searched around the bottom of the island.
After a while, his mind sensed something different, and when he came closer, he found a transparent light curtain the size of a normal door, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Ye Ming waited in front of the light curtain for about the time of tea, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he surfaced, took out a transmission note and sent it out.
After the transmission note was issued, he waited quietly in place for the others to arrive.
After Mo You's meal, someone came, and Qin Mao, who was the farthest away, also came with a smile on his face, and also arrived half an hour later.
He was also the same as everyone else, asking Ye Ming how he found out about the formation prohibition.
He naturally said that he was lucky, and after coming down from the island, he sneaked into the front of the underwater cave.
Regarding Ye Ming's remarks, everyone had different thoughts, but they unanimously agreed that Ye Ming's contribution was not small.
Everyone pinched a trick to avoid water and dived into the seawater, Ye Ming didn't use the water droplets, and the speed was not fast or slow, and he led everyone to dive in the direction of the forbidden entrance of the cave.
After a meal, Mo Yue came to the transparent light curtain, and everyone found out that Ye Ming's credit was not small, if they came to look for it, they might lose their patience to find the cave mansion without months of effort.
The degree of secrecy of the transparent light curtain is that even if you stand directly in front of you, it is difficult to sense the fluctuations of the aura. Everyone opened their mouths one after another, revealing Ye Ming's luck against the sky.
Breaking the formation is a huge problem, this place is nearly a thousand feet away from the sea, not to mention the pressure brought by the sea, the key here is no light.
The identities of Ye Ming and Yan Hong, the two formation mages, are naturally also praised by everyone. So everyone discussed that Ye Ming and the Qin family brothers and sisters would be in a group, and Yan Hong and Min Feng would be in a group of two brothers and sisters, and they would take turns to break the formation.
Next, after Yan Hong and Ye Ming surveyed the formation light curtain together, when they decided that this formation prohibition was a fourth-order great array, everyone had both expectations and disappointments in their hearts.
Yan Hong said that his formation level was not enough, and when everyone heard about it, their hearts sank, and when they felt that this trip was about to fail, Ye Ming took out a spirit bead the size of a child's fist.
"Breaking the Formation Bead!" Yan Hong exclaimed in surprise, his face was full of shock, his eyes were round, looking at the Broken Formation Bead in Ye Ming's palm, he was about to step forward to grab it.
"How did you have this? Are you willing to give this treasure? Yan Hong took the Broken Array Bead handed by Ye Ming and asked twice.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "This Formation Breaking Bead was obtained from the Kui family, and this is the only one. Anyway, it's all a broken formation, where to use it is not used, now there is a ready-made formation, we can't break it, and using this thing is not considered dust. ”
