Chapter 223: The Classic of Mountains and Seas
The true dragon is hidden in the sea.
Chen Ji hugged Xia Shumin's slender waist, and under the envious gaze of Lu Huai and others, he walked against the wind and flew towards the southwest.
After a short time, I saw a large island, the island is densely forested, there are strange mountains, the mountain is thousands of feet high, the peak is covered with snow, the waterfall flows down, and forms a deep pool between the valley.
"Childe, look, what a blessed land for the immortal family!"
Xia Shumin, who was holding Chen Ji, saw the islands and peaks in the vast ocean from the air, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise with a poem: "The snow on the top of the peak hangs thousands of miles, and the apes and cranes in the mountains are still surprised." The water platform is scattered under the silver flowers, and the chaos chisels through the mountain roots. ”
Chen Ji smiled dumbly, looked down at her little face with excitement, and said with a smile: "I remember you asked, what kind of poultry is a social animal, is it from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", what did you say at that time? Monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas appear on overseas islands? ”
While speaking, he took Xia Shumin in his arms and landed on a mountain rock in the middle of the island, looking condescendingly at the deep pool not far away.
The water in the pool is very deep, and there is a faint cold air coming out, making the surrounding leaves frosty, and there seem to be few animals on the island, at least Chen Ji didn't hear any birds and beasts.
"Well...... this"
The little lady's face turned red, and she whispered: "Shu Min just thought about it, the strange beasts of the Mountains and Seas may still exist in the overseas islands, and the records of the ancients are true." ”
She sneered again: "Childe, you can't always blame me, maybe this island has existed for a long time, for example, not far from Zhao Kingdom, there are Penglai, Pengqiu, abbot and other ancient books recorded in the fairy island!" ”
"There is Penglai Immortal Island overseas?!"
Chen Ji was a little surprised, he heard about it for the first time.
"Yes, there has always been, my mother-in-law has also been to see it, it is full of victims who escaped by boat during the war in the Central Plains, and the inheritance is also the clothes of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and now there are also maritime trade routes with Zhao State, and big ships often come and go."
"She's been?"
Chen Ji felt more and more strange about the composition of this world.
It is similar to some myths and legends of the Xia Kingdom in the earth, but there is no fairy god, and when he crossed into this world, the place where he went to the picture scroll seemed to be the "fairy world".
Since the words and words of the little lady, it can be confirmed that this world has some kind of existence of the will of heaven and earth, and it can also be called the way of heaven, and the little lady is the embodiment of the will of the way of heaven?
"Wow!"
Suddenly, there was a strange cry from the deep pool, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, and a strangely shaped beast emerged from the pool.
Xia Shumin was startled, hurriedly looked, and saw a person's face growing on a giant snake, the face of the person had a sad expression, but its eyes revealed a bit of curiosity, staring at her and her son.
"Gong, Gong, Gong!"
Xia Shumin trembled and shrunk into Chen Ji's arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chen Ji's eyes narrowed, looking at the giant snake with a human face in the pool, waiting for its further movements.
"Woo~~~"
The giant snake with a miserable face let out a strange scream, which shook the water of the pool and rippled, and the sound spread far away on the island, and after a while, seven or eight monsters rushed over, staring at Chen Ji and Xia Shumin from all directions on the trees, in the air, and on the mountainside.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Chen Ji's face was strange.
These monsters resemble tigers, apes, cats, and fish, but they are all strangely shaped, such as the fish has wings, the whole body is bright red, and the tail fin is smooth and long.
They come around, but they don't attack.
Instead, it's like watching him and the little lady?
"Childe?"
Xia Shumin raised his head tremblingly, and was immediately attracted by these strange-looking monsters, and said in a trembling voice: "Childe, that fish is like a silverfish in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, ah, the waterhole is a rampant, and that white ape is like Zhu Yan?!" ”
As she spoke, she became excited, and she didn't know whether she was happy to see these rare birds and beasts, or proud of her erudition.
"Win the fish? Lynx? ”
Ashamed, among the few strange beasts she said, Chen Ji had heard of Zhu Yan.
"Well, the ancient books record that winning the fish is the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, and the sound is like a mandarin duck...... Childe, we saw it, will it cause a flood?! ”
"I think it's better for Shumin to keep his mouth shut."
"Hmm!"
Xia Shumin covered his mouth and stopped talking.
Chen Ji smiled, and after confirming that these rare birds and beasts similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas would not take the initiative to attack, and did not have much strength, he turned around and left with Xia Shumin first.
According to the inferences he saw, these strange beasts are not strong, but they are very spiritual, smarter than ordinary birds and beasts, and they seem to have a sense of identity with each other, and they will call for friends.
This world is moving more and more in the direction of cultivating immortals, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
……
Back at Prince Lu Huai's camp, Chen Ji told them the news.
"Strange beasts recorded in ancient books?"
Lu Huai's heart moved, and he looked at the two of them: "Brother Chen, I don't know if eating them will be as stated in the book, with a lifespan of eight hundred, clear ears and eyes, and no poison." ”
Xia Shumin glanced at him.
Chen Ji said casually: "I guess not." ”
After finishing speaking, he and Xia Shumin said goodbye and left, went to find the nearest spatial rift, and prepared to go to the intersection of the four realms.
"Childe."
Xia Shumin, who was hugged by Chen Ji in his arms, called him.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, it's nothing, I just want to tell my son, Shumin's cousin, I'm afraid I'm not ambitious."
"Oh?"
Chen Ji flew with her in the cold wind of the Arctic, surrounded by thick ice and snow, but Chen Ji's fairy power was enough to block the cold and make the little lady in her arms as cute as a hamster.
The topic of conversation between the two is quite like what husband and wife will talk about behind closed doors.
Xia Shumin looked in the direction of his cousin's camp from a distance and whispered: "He has a very heavy mind, he brought back the spirit grass before, and he sent wood to the trapped people not long ago, plus what he said just now, it seems to have the intention of provoking. ”
Chen Ji thought about it for a while, indeed, those people in the rivers and lakes at the intersection of the Four Realms expressed their gratitude to the prince for sending wood, and from the point of winning people's hearts, the prince did a better job than his emperor's father.
"Whatever he does."
Chen Ji shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "As long as it doesn't disturb my lady." ”
The little lady's face turned red and leaned into his arms: "With the son here, Shumin naturally doesn't need to worry." ”
Chen Ji kissed her white and tender forehead, led her to a spatial rift, and entered it smoothly.
The darkness struck again, accompanied by a howling wind, which made Chen Ji react immediately:
The place he crossed this time was not the basement of Zhou Wan's house.
"Childe, it's so windy outside!"
Xia Shumin took the initiative to leave his embrace, stood firmly, took out the Qingying Immortal Sword in his sleeve, and held it tightly in his hand.
She also asked Chen Ji not to protect her with immortal power, lest her strength run out.
After the fairy protection disappeared, she immediately felt the ubiquitous wind, which made people's cheeks hurt, and scared Xia Shumin hurriedly surrounded her face with a thick towel, revealing only a pair of clear eyes to look around.
"Be careful."
Chen Ji uses his light and heat ability to light up all around.
The two of them looked around clearly.
It was on a high-rise building, and the glass outside the window was almost completely shattered, and the wind poured in from the high-rise building, blowing the contents of the building into a mess.
"Huh?"
Xia Shumin looked back and forth, "Childe, we seem to be at Sister Wan's house?" ”
She saw the stairs, and she also saw the second floor, there was still a bare iron rod hanging from the roof, and the very beautiful chandelier of Sister Wan's house was gone, and there were faintly shiny broken lamps on the ground.
"Go up and have a look!"
Chen Ji took her little hand and walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor together.
Sure enough, the layout here is almost the same as Zhou Wan's top-floor duplex, with rooms on the left and right of the living room on the second floor, and the open-air garden on the roof.
"Sister Wan's family has become really miserable."
Xia Shumin, who was tightly wrapped, stood in the living room where the three of them played cards together, watched TV, and read books the night before, and felt a lot of emotion for a while.
Obviously, the three of them were chatting in a warm and comfortable high-rise building the night before, sitting on a soft sofa, and the lively night scene was outside the window.
As a result, when she came to this world, Sister Wan's house became so miserable in front of her.
Chen Ji asked her: "Shumin, do you like it here?" ”
"Naturally, I like it, Sister Wan is very good!"
"Did you think about this place in your mind when you crossed over?"
Chen Ji wants to study what the principle of this random crossing is.
The last time he and Zhou Wan came, this small world created an entire underground doomsday base.
This time, he and the little lady suddenly came here again.
The randomness is too great!
Xia Shumin recalled seriously and shook his head: "Shumin had a thought at that time, whether Childe and I would come to Sister Wan again, no, in the basement of another Sister Wan's house. ”
The result is that you have come to the top duplex?
Chen Ji couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he could only look for it in this house with her, and then went down the stairs to look downstairs to see the other rooms.
In the end, only one thing was confirmed:
The building is structurally intact and there is no chaos.
"Gong, Gongzi."
Suddenly, Xia Shumin's voice trembled slightly, and his little hand pulled him, pointed to the ground outside the window, and said, "It seems that someone ......"
"Someone? Is it Wang Shaodang Liu Sangu them? ”
Chen Ji held her hand and looked at the ground near the window.
There was a dim light in the sky, the ground was pitch black, and in the cold windy and snowy streets, there was a faint light that flickered and flickered.
"It's indeed people, it should be Wang Shao, when they came to the restaurant building with a flashlight to explore."
Chen Ji asked Wang Shaodang and others to keep an eye on that building, according to Haichengzhong, the distance between the Touch Love Restaurant and Zhou Wan's top-floor duplex is only two or three kilometers, which is very close.
"I'll call them."
Chen Ji chuckled, staring at the place where the light was emitting, two rays of light bloomed in his eyes, piercing the darkness and shooting towards there.
"Childe also knows the spell of the golden eye?"
Xia Shumin laughed.
"I'll get a lot, I'll show you them all when I have time!"
Chen Ji laughed at the little lady beside him.
It's a pity that the untrained daughter didn't want to be crooked at all, but happily hugged his arm.
"Childe ......"
"Wait!"
Chen Ji, who had been paying attention to the outside, noticed that something was wrong, and after stopping Xia Shumin, his eyes were fixed on the light on the ground in the distance.
It shook violently, and was moving away quickly, scurrying away toward the west.
It proves that the person holding the lamp, while fleeing from the place where Chen Ji was, was frightened by his sun's rays.
"He's not Wang Shao when they?!"
Chen Ji immediately made a judgment.
Wang Shaodang and the others had seen his light and heat ability, and even if they hadn't seen the Ultraman Ray move, they should have deduced that it was him.
In addition, even if you can't guess that it is him, the direction of escape should not be west, but south.
"Childe, who is he? It seems to be running somewhere. ”
"He's going to that building! Let's go, let's keep up! ”
Chen Ji hugged Xia Shumin's waist, flew out of the window, and chased in the direction of the man.
The other side is also very fast.
Moreover, the other party seemed to feel his pursuit and continued to speed up.
chased and fled, and soon came to the building where the Touch Love Restaurant was located.
The lights went out.
The figure fled into the building, turning off the light in his hand and hiding.
Chen Ji didn't act immediately, and watched from afar.
"Childe, is he a monster?"
Xia Shumin asked softly.
She was deeply impressed by the monster last time, and she remembered the restored building in particular, so it was not surprising that nothing happened here.
"I can't say, why don't you say something?"
Chen Ji wanted to try the little lady's ability to speak her mind.
Xia Shumin was not stingy with his "ability" at this time, and immediately said: "I hope that Gongzi will go smoothly and find out the traces of that person!" ”
Chen Ji: "......"
Forget it, it's too embarrassing little lady.
Chen Ji flew up with her and went up to the floor where the Touch Love Restaurant was located, and returned here for the first time.
The last time he met the centaur Currim here.
This time......
Three minutes later, Chen Ji, who was waiting silently with Xia Shumin in the restaurant, bumped into a masked black shadow monster.
As soon as he entered the dining room, he breathed a sigh of relief and lit up.
In an instant, the two sides looked at each other, and Xia Shumin, who was frightened, subconsciously asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
The black shadow monster didn't say a word, and when he turned off the lights, his body suddenly disappeared.
Chen Ji kept an eye on him, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, stabbed it, and ripped off the black cloth on his body.
But the man is gone.
Chen Ji kept the light on, and went to the kitchen of the restaurant with Xia Shumin to take a look, and there was nothing abnormal.
I waited patiently for a while, confirming that the other party had disappeared without a trace.
"Strange!"
Chen Ji groaned.
The shadow also seems to have mastered the way to get here, and it is a very secret way, he does not want to tell people, he does not want to communicate with people, and he flees as soon as he sees people.
Prove that there is a ghost in your heart.
But how exactly did he leave? Is it an ability, temporarily hidden, or has it left this small world?
"What is Childe's guess?"
Xia Shumin was as confused as he was.
Chen Ji smiled: "There is no speculation, the other party fled without saying a word, leaving only a rag, no information at all, wait for him to appear." ”
After saying that, he didn't bother anymore, and used his light and heat ability to dry the black cloth on the ground, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he picked it up.
The black cloth is an ordinary fabric, which should be deliberately put on by him to cover his identity, not the original dress.
Chen Ji didn't know which world he was from, maybe there was such a dressing style in a certain world, and he didn't see clearly whether he was holding a flashlight or some other light-emitting tool.
Everything is a mystery, and there is only one clue to black cloth.
"It doesn't look like the tailoring methods of Yongkang County and the capital."
Xia Shumin took the black cloth and judged.
She can embroider, and some clues can be seen in the movement of the thread.
