Chapter Twenty-Six: Out of the East China Sea, Old Mussels Spit Gold Beads
The East China Sea is vast, and the vast ocean is still on the land of Donghua, which is the most knowledgeable person in the world, and it is impossible to say how many spiritual islands and fairy mountains are in the East China Sea.
However, such a vast realm has made the East China Sea cultivation world, scattered cultivators, companion cultivators, small sects, and scattered cultivation forces innumerable, although there are Xuanmen major sects of the Three Mountains Immortal Sect, preaching the East China Sea, but it is not so wide.
Vendetta battles take place on the sea all the time, and there are few teleportation arrays connected between the spirit islands in various places, and in this case, there are still sea clans in the sea.
Therefore, in the East China Sea, sea ships are the necessary tools for travel, and unless they are advanced in cultivation, they dare to fly alone on the sea.
On the coast of the East China Sea, Yunbaoxian City, known as the largest market on the coast of the East China Sea, is also the first seaport on the east coast of Shenzhou.
The port is not far from a green tile glaze, jade rock gold pillar, in the treasure building of the book 'Pengxuan Pavilion', Xu Zhuang is standing in front of the window with his negative hand, looking at the sky from afar, the blue sky is like washing, the sea tide is surging, the flying fish leaps over the waves, there are birds flying low and passing by, there is a small leaf flat boat, there is a big Baizhang building boat, and sail to the line of the intersection of water and sky together.
This group is bustling, and it is very different from the scene when I went to the East China Sea and passed through here, but it is similar everywhere.
When he was recalling, a calm male voice suddenly came from behind: "Your guest has come to the pavilion, and you have missed the welcome, please forgive me." ”
Xu Zhuang looked back and saw a person entering this living room, this person looked middle-aged, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a jade plate decorated with a gold wire red rope around his waist, with the word 'Penglai' inscribed, and a standard dress of the Sanshan Immortal Sect.
As the only Xuanmen sect in the East China Sea, the disciples of the Sanshan Immortal Sect are all proud of the Immortal Sect, but the people in the sect are not very numerous.
Although Pengxuan Pavilion was opened by the Penglai line of the Sanshan Immortal Sect, not all the deacons in the pavilion are disciples of the Immortal Sect, so the person who came should be the person in charge of the Pengxuan Pavilion here.
Xu Zhuang didn't have the habit of holding a big one, turned around and arched his hand and said, "Where is it, Xu suddenly came to visit, and your pavilion has not been lazy." ”
The middle-aged Taoist said with a smile: "Your Excellency is too modest, the jade order you showed represents my identity as the most honored guest of Pengxuan Pavilion. It's just that most of the people who hold this order are in the East China Sea, and this is the first time to receive it on the coast of the East China Sea, so the people below are slower to react. ”
"Is there such a thing? Brother Zhang didn't mention it to Xu, but he could find him by going to Pengxuan Pavilion with this order. Xu Zhuang was surprised.
Twenty years ago, when Xu Zhuang and Zhang Ji got acquainted, they were not the disciples of Taisu Zhenchuan today, and the weight of a high-grade Jindan monk could be called a sentence at most, and he had good potential, but it didn't seem to match the value of this jade order.
The middle-aged Taoist said: "It seems that this order is really the one that Senior Brother Zhang gave away twenty years ago." In the past, Senior Brother Zhang sent this order away, and did not explain to the cabinet who it was given to, which caused a little turmoil. Only today did I know that Senior Brother Zhang's vision is really unique. ”
Xu Zhuang said: "Oh? Did Daoyou know Brother Zhang? ”
"Yes, that's exactly what you did to receive you." The middle-aged Taoist apologized and said: "I'm ashamed to say that Your Excellency is a guest of honor Peng Xuan, but there are two things that this pavilion cannot accept from the things you proposed. ”
Xu Zhuangqi said: "What is the reason for this? ”
"Ahem...... The matter of where Senior Brother Zhang is located that you asked is not classified in the East China Sea. But Senior Brother Zhang, who is partial to life, now has a special identity, so he only comes to Pengxuan Pavilion to inquire, and the pavilion has to ask about his intentions. ”
The middle-aged Taoist said, "Of course, now that you know your friendship with Senior Brother Zhang, there is nothing that cannot be explained. Now Senior Brother Zhang has entered the Pengxuan Pavilion on Zhaoyue Island and is in charge of the position of the pavilion master. ”
Xu Zhuang suddenly said: "As I remember, Zhaoyue Island Pengxuan Pavilion should be the Pengxuan Pavilion Headquarters, right?" Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang is now in a high position, and he should be cautious. And what about the other thing? ”
The middle-aged Taoist said embarrassedly: "Daoist friends want to take the Pengxuan Sea Boat to go to sea, it is not a coincidence, the day before yesterday, the Pengxuan Sea Boat has been, and the route stops at sixteen islands, and there is still a long time before the return date...... If you are in a hurry to go to sea, there are several other sea boats under the name of Pengxuan Pavilion that can immediately take Daoyou to sea. ”
"I see, but I have nothing to do with Peng Xuan Haizhou." Xu Zhuang didn't care, "As for the other sea boats, there is no need, thank you for your kindness." ”
Pengxuan Sea Boat is a big ship cast by Pengxuan Pavilion to cross the sea, not afraid of any storm blowing, the tide is dangerous, it can carry the number of 10,000 people, not counting the activities, storage space, and the sailing speed can be compared to the speed of ordinary Jindan monks.
However, Xu Zhuang didn't have much desire for Peng Xuan Haizhou, and he wanted to take this boat just because he was shocked when he first saw Peng Xuanhai Boat when he was young.
Since there is no fate, Xu Zhuang can fly out to sea, as for other sea boats, they are more than a step different from Pengxuan sea boats, which is really unnecessary.
Since there was a reason for the incident, Xu Zhuang was not worried, so he asked about other matters.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Taoist also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and responded: "Other matters have naturally been prepared for Your Excellency. ”
He clapped his hands, and in response to the sound of a maid entered the room, and saw that she had been waiting for a long time, still smiling like a flower, holding a white jade square plate in both hands, and the things that Xu Zhuang needed were lying quietly on the plate.
"This is the high-quality fire cloud sand that Daoists need." The middle-aged Taoist pointed his hand, "A total of two hundred full numbers, Daoyou came suddenly, this is already all the surplus in the pavilion, and the remaining money is all exchanged for Daoyou for the Three Mountains Immortal Treasure for a total of six hundred." ”
Xu Zhuang took a grain of cloud sand from the plate and looked at it, and said secretly: "With this quality, refining the fifth-order Red Fire Gang Thunder should be enough, and it can be used to refine the fourth-order Gang Thunder, and the power can also increase by one or two, which is worthy of this high price." ”
Xu Zhuang took a total of 1,000 pieces of the same Taisu money to purchase high-grade cloud sand, and entrusted Pengxuan Pavilion to exchange it for the Sanshan Immortal Treasure refined by the Sanshan Immortal Sect for use at sea.
The value of the Three Mountains Immortal Treasure is almost the same as that of the Taisu Law Money, that is to say, this cloud sand will cost two Taisu Law Money, which is enough to exchange for two hundred fist-sized spirit stones! If Xu Zhuang had used this kind of cloud sand to refine the Red Fire Gang Thunder in the past, he would have declared bankruptcy after not using a few pieces.
Xu Zhuang waved his sleeves and put away the cloud sand and the three mountain immortal treasures, nodded at the middle-aged Taoist and said, "Since Peng Xuanhaizhou has already gone to sea, I don't want to stay, so I will leave first." ”
The middle-aged Taoist arched his hand, took out a roll of leather from his sleeve and said, "Do you want to fly out to sea?" The sea is vast, and the slightest difference on the way to escape is a thousand miles, and I have prepared a chart for Taoist friends, and Taoist friends can accept it for comparison itinerary. ”
Xu Zhuang was a little surprised, but the chart was indeed suitable for him, so he took it straight and said, "Then thank you." ”
"Daoist friends are polite." The middle-aged Taoist smiled, "Then I'll send it to Daoyou?" ”
"Don't bother." Xu Zhuang pointed to the window behind him and said with a smile, "I'll go from here, and save you and me a little effort." ”
"Hahaha, Daoyou is also a wonderful person." The middle-aged Taoist waved his sleeve robe and said solemnly, "Please." ”
Xu Zhuang was no longer polite, walked to the windowsill and arched his hand, then flew up to the clouds, until the buildings on the ground were the size of ants, and then took out the chart from his sleeve and compared the direction, and flew away.
——
Zhaoyue Island is located in the depths of the East China Sea, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Donghua Continent, and it is not an easy distance for ordinary cultivators to cross, not to mention the vast sea.
In the past, Xu Zhuang went out to the East China Sea, took a sea boat, and needed to travel to the islands, and it took nearly two years before he arrived at Zhaoyue Island, and saw the appearance of one of the most prosperous islands in the East China Sea.
And now, if hundreds of thousands of miles away are flying away at full speed in Xuzhuang, it will only take ten days and a half to arrive. Of course, when you are in a hurry, it is impossible to fly at full speed all the time, and the sea is vast, and it is inevitable that there will be some deviations.
The cool breeze of this night, the stars and the moon are clear, the white and purple moonlight makes the vast and silent sea look quite dreamy, and the blowing sea breeze brings gusts of water vapor, which is refreshing.
Xu Zhuang flew away, and suddenly his spiritual sense moved, and his eyes fell not far away. I saw a waterfall, and the white moonlight fell from the sky on the surface of the sea, and one of the golden beads the size of a skull jumped up and down, swaying freely in the moonlight.
And under the moonlit sea, there was a huge black figure the size of a ship.
Xu Zhuang opened his eyes and looked at it, only to see that what was hidden under the dark sea surface seemed to be a huge sea mussel, opening the mussel shell, trying his best to swallow it, attracting the moonlight in the sky to form a waterfall-like moonlight, and the golden pill jumping up and down in the moonlight was not a demon pill, but a pearl spit out from the mussel shell.
"It turned out to be an old clam spitting pearls, such a gold bead, the heat is not trivial, I'm afraid this big clam has been raised for more than a thousand years."
Such a situation is really rare, and Xu Zhuang was taken aback. He didn't have any strange psychology, the treasure of the heavens, if the sky grants it, it will naturally be unhindered, as for killing the mussel and taking the pearl, if it is not necessary, he will disdain it.
Xu Zhuang did not give birth to greed, but the situation of the sea mussel was not stable, the old mussel spit pearls, and the vision of Yuehua's refinement had attracted peeps, and suddenly a huge shadow swam on the surface of the sea, and a tense atmosphere was already filled in the air.
As if sensing the crisis, the big mussel suddenly surfaced, letting out a heavy whine like a whale's breath, the sea water was turbulent and rolling, and the moon rose even more, washing the gold beads and falling quickly towards the mussel shell.
This big clam is alert, but it is still a little late. I saw that the shadow in the sea seemed to know the situation, without dragging mud and water, and swam rapidly, and then approached the big mussel shell, and rushed violently, so that the mussel shell really toppled over like a ship, and a sharp-toothed monster like a fish and beast suddenly broke out of the water, and a bloody mouth sucked a gust of fishy wind, wrapped in a golden bead and swallowed into the belly.
"Whew!!" The big clam vibrated violently, and opened its shell like a madman, revealing the golden flesh inside, and the layers of circles trembled with the whimper of the big mussel.
However, the strange fish fell back to the surface of the sea, only to pump its tail very hard, and then pulled the clam shell over, and with a swing of the tail, it dived into the deep sea.
This big mussel shell is really not suitable for fighting, and it is still very bulky, just calling with all his might, trying to recall the golden bead, but there is no response, whimpering, and wailing.
"Hey." Xu Zhuang witnessed the whole process in the air, and finally moved his heart of pity, and sighed, "God has the virtue of a good life, since you have been met by the poor Dao, it may also be your fate." ”
I didn't see any movement from him, but there was a sharp chill between the heavens and the earth, and a slight burst of blood suddenly dispersed in the sea, and the call of the big clam suddenly responded, and a golden bead the size of a pill's skull broke through the layers of waves and flew back to it.
"Roar!" The strange fish still went and returned, with a wound that was still overflowing with blood, and with the golden bead galloping, the fierce roar continued, Xu Zhuang's brows furrowed slightly, and his hanging fingers raised slightly.
With a terrible scream, the strange fish flicked its tail and disappeared into the sea, fleeing.
After all, Xu Zhuang still didn't hurt its life, and turned his eyes back to the big mussel, which withdrew the gold bead into its shell, and the mussel shell was half-closed and cautiously guarded, but it didn't close its appearance of getting up and running away, and let out a whine into the air.
"It's ...... Are you calling me to show up? Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, then lowered the cloud head and fell into the sky above the big mussel, revealing his figure.
"Whew!" Seeing Xu Zhuang's appearance, the big clam let out a joyful sound, and suddenly opened the shell again, and a silver light swayed, flying in front of Xu Zhuang, showing a pearl, the size of a fist, round and bright, and exuding the color of the moonlight spirit inside.
"There are other mussel beads, is this a reward for me?"
Xu Zhuang took the pearl, and then looked at the big mussel, which had already closed the shell, and sank into the sea with a grunt, disappearing into the bottomless deep water, and couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this a blessing?" This mussel bead is of little use to me. ”
This fist-sized pearl, although it is not as good as the previous gold bead, is also a treasure, among which the Yuehua Spirit Essence, I don't know how many times it is the big mussel that has swallowed it, but it is no longer of much benefit to Xu Zhuang's current cultivation.
But after all, it is a small opportunity, that is, it is exchanged for spirit stones, and it may be able to exchange for dozens of Taisu money.
Xu Zhuang shook his head with a smile, still put it in his sleeve, took out the chart and unfolded it, looked at it carefully against the starry sky, and said in his heart: Thanks to this chart, although there was a slight deviation along the way, it was not far away. Hundreds of miles further on, there should be a few islands, it is better to find one to rest for a while.
In the past few days, he has traveled under the stars and nights, and in just five or six days, he has escaped 200,000 miles away, and there is no pause during the period, although he has not exhausted Xu Zhuang's mana, but it has also cost a lot.
According to this method, you may be able to reach Terutsuki Island within ten days, but if you really encounter some sudden changes on the road, it will inevitably be overstretched. So Xu Zhuang planned to find a place to rest and meditate to recover his mana.
Xu Zhuang was about to continue to fly, suddenly stopped his figure, and secretly said strangely: How vast this vast ocean is, I have been traveling day and night for the past three days, and I have not encountered anything, how can I have so many "fates" today?
