Chapter 424: The Way to the Inland Sea
"Let's train the body first, you keep the bracelet and the key for themselves, and keep the physical cultivation for two hours every morning. Su Fan said to Zhang Shanfeng: "There are also evening classes that will be held regularly, and I will hold another exam when I come back." ”
"Come back, uncle, are you going to set off?" asked Zhang Shanfeng.
"Yes, I'm going to go to the Sea of Eternal Night," Su Fan said, "I plan to take the top 100 disciples of the Gold List with me, Haotian Sect has just experienced a catastrophe now, and tens of thousands of new disciples have been added, so I will have to work hard for you next." ”
Zhang Shanfeng hurriedly said: "It's not hard, this is my duty, uncle, you can go with confidence, and everything in the sect will be left to me." ”
Su Fan nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.
......
The next day, Su Fan gathered a hundred disciples, and also gathered several elders, and went to Haotian Tower Square to gather together.
The reason why I want to bring a few elders with me is because although this trip is mainly for play, the world of cultivating immortals is full of dangers, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some troubles, especially when you go to the inland sea by yourself, in case of any accidents, bringing a few elders to take care of the disciples can minimize the risk.
As soon as he heard that he was going to go out to play, many elders with more active personalities took the initiative to ask for help, and Su Fan finally decided that Ji Yunxi and Hu Jinwan would accompany him, and in addition, he also called Sun Wusheng of Yaochi Holy Land and Xin Ming of Fire Spirit Sect.
The group carried three flying boats of Haotian Sect, led by Xin Ming, and set off towards the coastal town of Waihai City in the lower reaches of the White River Valley.
The Outer Sea City is the only coastal town in the Sea of Eternal Night, belonging to the nine sects of the White River Valley, the entire river runs through the city, dividing this coastal town into two areas, the west bank and the east bank, the southernmost point is the open sea of the Sea of Eternal Night, with its unique geographical advantages, attracting many monks to come to play and practice.
Su Fan and Xin Ming landed first, and it was already dusk when they arrived in Waihai City.
Because he had greeted him in advance, as soon as he landed, a middle-aged monk from the cave void period greeted him:
"Sect Master Xin Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time, our city lord heard that you were coming, and immediately sent me to pick you up. ”
Xin Ming nodded, "Long time no see, Captain Li." ”
Then Xin Ming retreated slightly, let Su Fan side, and introduced each other: "This is Senior Su of Haotian Sect, and this is the law enforcement captain of Outer Sea City, Li Heize." ”
Su Fan took the initiative to step forward and nodded slightly, "Hello Captain Li." ”
Li Heize couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Su Fan's face clearly.
What a handsome friar!
This was his first impression of Su Fan.
"Senior Su, hello, I am the law enforcement captain of Waihai City, my name is Li Heize, and I am your guide for this operation, responsible for all your food, clothing, housing and transportation here. ”
"I'm sorry for you. ”
"It's a pleasure to serve you. ”
After that, Li Heize looked behind the two of them, "Sect Master Xin, didn't you say that there are more than a hundred disciples who came back here, why did you only see the two of you?"
Su Fan said: "They are still behind, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive." ”
Li Heize said: "In this case, then please stay at the Seagod Restaurant first, the city lord has been waiting for a long time, your disciple will let me receive it...... Sect Master Xin, do you know the location of the Night Sea Restaurant?"
Xin Ming nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Then please take Senior Su over first. ”
"Good. ”
Su Fan followed Xin Ming on the coastal avenue, and not far away was the endless sea of eternal night.
The waves rub against the fine sand and make a "whooshing" sound. In the sky not far away, white seabirds chirp loudly, and from time to time they plunge headlong into the sea, and then jump out with a small fish in their mouths.
Su Fan took a deep breath, in addition to the salty smell of the ocean, the air was also filled with extremely abundant spiritual power, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
After a while, Xin Ming took Su Fan to an incomparably luxuriously decorated restaurant, pushed open the box on the top floor, and the city lord sat inside.
"City Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Xin Ming arched his hand.
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry for you, Wang's body is quite tough. The city lord stood up and greeted him: "You two, please take a seat." ”
After the two sat down, after Xin Ming's introduction, Su Fan and Wang City Lord got to know each other, but Su Fan didn't say much, but looked at a large table of seafood and was fascinated.
It is worthy of a coastal town, and the dishes served are all rare beasts in the sea that are rarely seen, and their size is at least twice as large as usual.
It seems that there must be something extraordinary about this sea of eternal night, otherwise it would not be possible to give birth to such an abnormal creature, so I have to explore it myself.
Seeing Su Fan staring at the dishes on the table, City Lord Wang couldn't help but say a little proudly: "Senior Su, there are no good things in this city, so I can only entertain you with these home-cooked dishes, I hope it can be with your appetite." ”
Home Cooking?
Su Fan smiled and said: "City Lord Wang, you see that this lobster is three times larger than the lobster sold outside, how can it be said that it is a home-cooked meal?
"Hahahaha, Senior Su is really fast-talking, I really admire it. The city lord laughed and said: "Yes, if the seafood in my Outer Sea City is said to be the second in the world, no one dares to call it the first in the world, and these are all thanks to the sea of eternal night full of aura." ”
Finally got to the point? Su Fan leaned forward slightly:
"Yes, I came here for two purposes, one is to take my disciples to practice and play, and the other is to go out to the sea. ”
"Go to sea?" Wang City Lord's face changed slightly, "Senior Su is planning to go to the Inland Sea of the Sea of Eternal Night?"
That's exactly what I mean. ”
"This ......" The city lord looked embarrassed, and stopped talking.
"Is there any problem, City Lord Wang?" Su Fan wondered, "Didn't Xin Ming tell you before?"
"Yes, it's just ......," the city lord said in a slurching voice.
Xin Ming frowned on the side and said, "City Lord Wang, Senior Su is not an outsider, you can say anything directly." ”
The city lord sighed and said slowly: "Okay, since that's the case, Wang will tell the truth, Senior Su, you may not be able to go to the Inland Sea." ”
"Can't go, what do you mean?" Su Fan frowned.
The city lord took out a piece of parchment in the shape of a map from the Qiankun ring, walked between the two and said:
"Senior Su, I wonder if Sect Master Xin told you about the rules for entering the Inland Sea?"
"Rules, what rules?" Su Fan looked at Xin Ming, who also spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.
Su Fan frowned and said, "Xin Ming only told me that entering the inland sea requires the 'right to go to sea', and I don't know the rest." ”
"Since I don't know, let Wang tell you about the specific situation. ”
The city lord spread out the parchment on the table, and Su Fan and Xin Ming came over.
"This is a nautical chart of the Sea of Eternal Night, which is known to be divided into open and inland seas, and this map depicts the condition of the entire open sea. The city lord explained: "That is, you are just now."
The sea I saw when I first came. ”
"You mean to say that all we can see is the outer seas of the Sea of Eternal Night?" asked Su Fan.
"Clever!"
"And where is the Inland Sea?"
The city lord pointed to the large and small red crosses on the map and said, "There is only one way to go to the Inland Sea, and that is to find the 'Sea Eye' of the Sea of Eternal Night." ”
"Sea Eyes?"
"Yes, in the depths of the open sea of the Eternal Night, there are countless undercurrents, most of which are real submarine whirlpools, and only a very small part are passages to the inland sea, which we call the 'sea eye'," said the city lord Wang, "and the so-called 'sea right' is a tool used to distinguish the real from the fake 'sea eye'. ”
After listening to the explanation of the city lord Wang, Su Fan roughly understood that the so-called inland sea and the open sea were not simply divided by the distance of the sea area, but were equivalent to two independent spaces, and the 'right to go to sea' was equivalent to the key to open the door of the inland sea.
"Then why do you say that I can't go to the Inland Sea? Are you afraid that my cultivation is too low to resist the undercurrent of the passage?"
"That's not the case!" the City Lord said loudly, "Although your cultivation seems to be only in the Golden Pill stage, I know that your strength is definitely more than that. ”
"Oh, did Xin Ming tell you?"
"No, it's my analysis from your appearance, your conversation, and Sect Master Xin's attitude towards you. The city lord said in a deep voice.
"I didn't expect you to be quite observant, that's right, my cultivation is indeed quite deceptive, but that's not the point, you went on to say why you can't go to the Inland Sea. ”
"Actually, the reason is very simple, have you seen these large and small red crosses?" Wang City Lord pointed to a red cross and said, "As you can see, these red crosses were originally what I called the 'Sea Eyes', but for some reason, these 'Sea Eyes' have successively turned into real submarine whirlpools. ”
"A real undersea whirlpool?" Su Fan sat up straight and turned his head to look at him, "You mean the passage is closed?"
City Lord Wang nodded and said, "Just a few days ago, we sent a monk from the Yuan Infant Stage to explore the last known 'Sea Eye', but he has not been heard from so far, so I think he should be missing. ”
"Missing?" Su Fan frowned, "So, I really can't go to the Inland Sea?"
"Senior Su, it's not that I don't believe in your strength, but now I really don't have the way to the Inland Sea, so I advise you to have a good time here for a few days......"
Su Fan interrupted softly, "What if I find a new 'Sea Eye'?"
"What did you say?"
"I said, what if I find a new 'sea eye'?"
"New 'Sea Eye'?" the City Lord shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, it's impossible. As far as I know, the 'sea eye' has only decreased, never increased, over the past thousand years. ”
"Lord Wang, what hasn't happened doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I believe that things are man-made, since I've come here, I'm going to go to the Inland Sea anyway. ”
Su Fan stood up and slowly walked out of the door: "You eat first, I'll go see if the disciples are here." ”
After he left, the City Lord asked Xin Ming, "Sect Master Xin, what is the origin of Senior Su? Obviously he is just a monk of the Jindan stage, why do I always feel that I can't see through him?"
"That's right if you can't see through it, haha," Xin Ming replied with a smile.
City Lord Wang sighed lightly and said, "Alas, since he insists on going to sea, then I won't force it, let Li Heize accompany him tomorrow." ”
