Chapter 138: How High Is the Sky
Chapter 138
In fact, since Xiao Zhan first met Fang Yu, he already had the idea of going to Qingzhou.
He wanted to see how big the boundless sea in Fang Yu's mouth was, how tall Fang Yu said there was someone outside the person, how tall that person could be, and how big the sky was.
He wanted to know even more about how powerful the Heavenly Sect really was, and how far apart Yanlong City was from them.
On the beach, Xiao Zhan waited quietly.
A sea-crossing ship came from a distance and stopped in front of Xiao Zhan.
After Xiao Zhan got on the boat, the sea-crossing boat started again, turning into a black light and passing over the sea.
Yan Kuan controlled the direction of the sea crossing boat and looked at Xiao Zhandao:
"My father said, when you get to Qingzhou, be careful."
Xiao Zhan nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one, and said with a smile:
"The reminder of the three elders, I take it to heart."
Yan Kuan didn't like to talk in the first place, so he concentrated on driving the boat at this time and didn't say much.
Xiao Zhan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Senior Brother Yan Kuan, how did you and the Third Elder meet?"
Yan Kuan is forty years old this year, and it is appropriate for Xiao Zhan to call him senior brother.
Yan Kuan curiously glanced at the cigarette between Xiao Zhan's fingertips, frowned and sniffed, and then spoke:
"The village was slaughtered, and my father passed by and saved me."
Xiao Zhan nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan was still a little hesitant, but the next moment he took it again, and caught it on his fingertips like Xiao Zhan.
After igniting it, Yan Kuan took a deep breath like breathing, but the next moment his face was red with choking.
But after he savored it, he nodded and said:
"Good baby."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded: "This is specially made with dozens of medicinal materials, which is harmless to the body and can calm the mind." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Zhan handed the remaining half a pack of cigarettes to Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan took the cigarette and frowned:
"Leave the rest to my father, so that he can taste this treasure too."
"If you don't do anything, I'll do something for you."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Senior Brother Yan Kuan has already helped a lot, not to mention that this thing is not valuable. ”
Yan Kuan didn't answer, and once again focused on the matter of driving the boat.
Despite the speed of the seafaring ship, there was no reference point on the endless sea, and the ship seemed to be stationary.
Such a journey is really boring.
Xiao Zhan sat cross-legged on the deck and couldn't help but sigh:
"The true vitality on this sea is dozens of times richer than that of the barren state."
Yan Kuan suddenly spoke:
"Even the true vitality of the edge of Qingzhou is thousands of times stronger than that of Huangzhou."
After a pause, Yan Kuan added:
"I don't like Qingzhou."
These two sentences sound inconsistent, but when they are said calmly from Yan Kuan's mouth, they are a little moving.
Yan Kuan took out half of the unfinished cigarette and lit it, and there seemed to be more words:
"In the future, when you completely control the Wasteland, can I stay in the Wasteland?"
Xiao Zhan was stunned, then nodded with a smile:
"The barren state is there, Senior Brother Yan Kuan can go at any time."
"Then it's okay, it's an agreement between us," Yan Kuan nodded, "I remember." ”
Seeing that Yan Kuan was very serious, Xiao Zhan also laughed.
"Senior Brother Yan Kuan, do you believe that we can control the Wasteland?"
"After all, the other four states have been staring at the Wasteland, and our strength is still too weak."
Yan Kuan shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhan with a serious face:
"Twenty years ago, I could only watch the village being slaughtered, and I could only hide on the roofs and shiver."
"Two years ago, I killed all those murderers."
"Nothing is impossible in this world."
Xiao Zhan looked at Yan Kuan in a daze, for a long time, got up and hugged his fists and said:
"Xiao Zhan has been taught."
Yan Kuan nodded, "There are still a few days before you arrive in Qingzhou, you can continue to practice." ”
"In addition, my father asked me to prepare a design drawing for you to cross the sea, the drawings are too complicated, and I will give it to you after I have sorted it out."
Xiao Zhan thanked him and sat down cross-legged again, breathing in and absorbing the rich true vitality in the air.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the true vitality absorbed by the body was so rich that Xiao Zhan was shocked, Qingzhou finally arrived.
Looking at the coastline in front of him, the gorgeous and majestic sea-crossing boats, and the mountains that reached into the sky in the distance, Xiao Zhan's face was solemn and he looked at Yan Kuandao:
"Senior Brother Yan Kuan, no one will notice us, right?"
Yan Kuan shook his head, "In addition to the sea-crossing ships of the major forces, there are also some hunting ships, and our one is the one that will not attract attention." ”
Xiao Zhan frowned, "Hunting? What to hunt? ”
Yan Kuan lowered his voice while controlling the docking of the sea-crossing boat:
"The sea is full of dangers, but it is also full of opportunities, many of which are delicious sea beasts, and those so-called big people like to eat this kind of food that others hunt by their lives, in order to show their dignity."
Xiao Zhan nodded silently, followed Yan Kuan off the boat, and then walked through the wide stone street and entered an iron shop.
That's right, this Senior Brother Yan Kuan, on the surface, is a blacksmith.
The blacksmith shop is small, the walls are covered with weapons of various shapes, and in the stove near the door, there is an unextinguished charcoal fire, which exudes a scorching heat.
Yan led Xiao Zhan into the back room and down to the basement.
After waiting alone for a while, he saw the third elder Yan Long descend to the secret room.
He looked at Xiao Zhan with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice:
"Did you encounter any dangers on the way?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded, "I encountered a few powerful sea beasts, but they were all solved by Senior Brother Yan Kuan, and there was also a nine-headed sea snake whose strength was comparable to that of the Danhu Realm, which was also escaped by us." ”
Yan Long's face became more solemn, and he pondered for a moment and said:
"You come to Qingzhou, I still don't think it's appropriate, Qingzhou has me to watch, you better return to Huangzhou and improve your strength first."
Seeing Yan Long's face full of worry, Xiao Zhan hurriedly said:
"Third Elder, we will not change what we said was good."
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to safety, you can always put your heart in your stomach."
Yan Long sighed, "Okay, I have prepared a few things for you, you must bring them." ”
As he spoke, Yan Long took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan opened it and saw that there were several masks inside, all different but vivid, and there was no trace after wearing them.
In addition to this, there are several things that resemble silver tickets.
Yan Long Road:
"This is a true yuan stone exchange ticket common in the four states, adding up to about 200,000 true yuan stones, you take it first and use it, it's not enough, I'll find a way."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and lowered his voice:
"If the three elders need the True Yuan Stone, just go back to Yanlong City to get it."
Yan Long firmly refused:
"No matter how many True Yuan Stones you find, they are the foundation of Yanlong City, I am old, and the True Yuan Stones are left for young people to use."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Third Elder, if your strength is increased by one point, the benefits to Yanlong City will be more, don't refuse if you are old, and in the future, you and Senior Brother Yan Kuan will take turns to go to Yanlong City to get the True Yuan Stone." ”
Yan Long waved his hand perfunctorily: "I can't use it if I have more, the True Yuan Stone issued by the Qingtian Sect is enough for me." ”
"Besides, I'll tell you something."
Yan Long's face became solemn:
"Now although the Qingtian Sect and the Famous Sword Sect have not sent people to the Wasteland, their attention to the Wasteland has intensified."
"I checked a lot of information, and I suspect that they were the idea of leaving behind the treasure in the Wasteland State."
"As for whether those treasures exist or not, no one knows at all, but the major forces in the four states have been looking for tens of thousands of years and have not found them."
Xiao Zhan's eyes flickered, and a cold light flickered under his eyes.
That huge number of True Yuan Stones is the foundation and hope left by the martyrs of Huangzhou, and it must not be snatched away by outsiders!
It seems that the Qingtian Sect and the Famous Sword Sect must be diverted again.
Seeing a flash of resoluteness in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Yan Long frowned: "Xiao Zhan, don't do anything impulsive, most of those treasures are a disguise, don't worry about being stolen by the Qingtian Sect and the Famous Sword Sect." ”
Xiao Zhan didn't continue the topic, and continued to look into the cloth bag.
The last thing in it is a scroll.
Yan Long said slowly:
"This is a map of the entire Qingzhou, which may be of some help to you."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Third Elder, is there a map covering the other four states?" ”
Yan Long smiled helplessly:
"Qingzhou alone is already boundless."
"There are maps covering other states, but they are very precious, even in the Optimus Sect, there are only a few copies."
Xiao Zhan was already very content, so he nodded and said:
"Third Elder, then I'll leave here first, so as not to cause you trouble."
Yan Long waved his hand: "It's all my own family, it's not troublesome to say anything." ”
"Remember, if you can't do anything, you won't do it, and you're not afraid of running out of firewood while you keep the green mountains."
"If you have any trouble, come to me and we'll figure it out together."
Xiao Zhan nodded heavily, then walked out of the basement, and then walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Yan Kuan was pounding a red-hot sword blank, and said to Xiao Zhan without raising his head:
"Have a nice trip."
Xiao Zhan made an OK gesture and strode towards the other end of the street.
I have to say that Qingzhou's true vitality is indeed strong.
Even if he walked on the street like this, Xiao Zhan could feel that the true vitality was constantly drilling into his body, constantly refining the meridians of his body.
Born in this kind of place, you don't do anything, and your strength is also rising gradually.
Thinking that Huangzhou was once such a place with a strong sense of vitality, Xiao Zhan was angry in his heart.
These true vitality are not all stolen from the wasteland.
Xiao Zhan changed into a strict and wide clothes, and he looked no different from the locals in Qingzhou, so no one paid attention to him, only a few young women who were traveling together turned their heads to look at him.
This town is located on the edge of Qingzhou, because the coastline not far away is the base of several major forces to cross the sea, so this town was formed.
But there are many shops here, there are many restaurants, and people come and go on the street, which is quite lively.
Xiao Zhan walked and watched, and soon came to a circular building in the center of the town.
The height of the circular building is more than 1,000 meters, and when you walk in, you can see that there are huge stone pillars on the ground, and a huge black wind eagle is tied to the stone pillars with a pitch-black chain.
Xiao Zhan looked at it with interest, and then walked over to an old man who was registering with a booklet.
The old man was wearing a gray robe, and the robe was embroidered with a black wind eagle flying in lightning, and there were three big characters 'Imperial Beast Gate' underneath.
Seeing Xiao Zhan coming over, the old man raised his eyelids, and asked casually while recording something in the booklet:
"Where?"
Xiao Zhan blurted out:
"Optimus Sect."
The old man looked up in surprise, but he didn't ask much, but said casually:
"Without permission, the Black Wind Eagle of our Royal Beast Gate cannot directly enter the territory of the Heavenly Sect, and can only send you to the nearest Qingfeng City."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Yes." ”
The old man didn't talk nonsense, took out a small bamboo piece-like thing, wrote the words 'Qingfeng City' on it, and then handed it to Xiao Zhandao:
"No. 25 Black Wind Eagle, you go over and wait for a while, and set off when everyone arrives."
Xiao Zhan glanced at the small sign, which was numbered and purposeful, but he didn't ask for his name and origin, which was quite humane.
Xiao Zhan looked around, and finally saw the mark of '25' on a hundred-meter-high stone pillar, and then walked over.
The Black Wind Eagle, which had lost a lot of feathers and was bare in many places on its body, was lying on the ground, obviously not in good spirits, most of which were old Black Wind Eagles.
On the ground next to it, dozens of people had gathered, without talking to each other, each standing in place and waiting quietly.
