Chapter 494: Everything Comes to the Surface, Collecting People's Hearts on the Way

When the day came, the night faded, and Xu Chenglin and others also discovered a strange phenomenon at this time. I saw that the waters, which spread for dozens of miles, began to shrink gradually. It's not so much shrinking, it's as the water in the water is flowing backwards back into the sea.

It's just tea time, and a large area of water at night quickly disappears in front of everyone's eyes. The body of the kraken in the water has long been salvaged and taken away by the monks. And the demon blood mixed in the water also flowed into the sea with the water. After the water recedes, the place is really clean except for some puddles that have not dried up.

At this time, Xu Chenglin and the others were all in a trance, although everyone had heard Ximen Feng say that the waters would fade during the day, but they didn't expect it to fade so quickly, including Ximen Feng himself, they didn't expect this situation. If it weren't for their own experience, several people would have thought that they were sleepwalking last night.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Raising his eyebrows, Tang Xiaotian said with a chuckle.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing that Tang Xiaotian had something to say, Chen Yuan asked curiously.

Tang Xiaotian smiled and didn't answer, but Chen Moheng spoke at this time.

"The length of time the tide rises and falls, although the speed varies according to the water area. But the ebb and flow of the tide inevitably came too quickly, don't you think there's something wrong?"

"That's right! I've crossed multiple continents before, and I've never seen a high tide fall into any body of water. I don't rule out the reason for the special services of the geographical environment, but I am more inclined to have something strange in it. ”

Xu Chenglin nodded and added his opinion.

Hearing the explanation of the two, Chen Yuan frowned. Looking at the place where the coast meets in the distance, she felt a pair of huge hands manipulating everything.

"Hehe! There are some things that we don't have to guess about, just ask. ”

Ximen Feng smiled, and then looked around. After seeing a young monk not far away, he smiled and walked towards him.

"In the Ximen Peak of the Lower Ten Thousand Law Immortal Sect, I wonder if I can ask Daoist friends for some news?"

The young monk was still cleaning up some fragments of the Siren's corpse, and subconsciously raised his head when he heard someone approaching. After hearing that it was Ximen Feng's words, this person immediately showed some trepidation. He was a cultivator in the Tempering Period, and being treated so politely by the Qi Condensing Monk gave him great face, not to mention that this person was still the hero who led them to defeat the Kraken.

"Seniors know everything if they ask!"

The young monk clenched his fist at Ximen Peak, and then bowed his head and said.

"Oh, no need to be polite! Let me ask you, is there a lot of ebb and flow here, what is the time of the tide, and how long is the period?"

After listening carefully to Ximen Feng's three questions, the young monk didn't even think about it, and shook his head directly at Ximen Feng.

"My predecessors didn't know it! Although this place is coastal, the terrain is actually higher than other places. If it weren't for the sea water brought by the Siren's landing, this place would never have been affected by the ebb and flow of the tide. ”

Ximen Feng nodded clearly, and then asked again.

"The ebb and flow caused by the Kraken, is this everyone's speculation or did someone deliberately put it forward?"

This question made the young monk think for a moment, and then he answered Ximen Feng.

"This should be everyone's speculation, and I don't remember anyone going out of their way to state or explain the issue. Is this question important, if it is important, I can help the seniors to inquire. ”

"Oh, no, I'm just asking. ”

Ximen Feng smiled and waved his hand, rejecting the young monk's kindness.

The young monk was slightly disappointed when he was rejected, but he still smiled and asked Ximen Feng.

"What else do you need to know?"

Ximen Feng thought about it for a while and found that everything he wanted to know had already been asked. So he nodded lightly and smiled at the young monk.

"It's fine, thank you for informing me. ”

The young monk nodded, smiled, and got busy again. Seeing this, Ximen Feng also turned around and walked towards Xu Chenglin and the others.

The conversation between Ximen Feng and the young monk was not loud, but Xu Chenglin and the others heard it clearly. Seeing that Ximen Feng was back, Tang Xiaotian smiled and said a little proudly.

"How's that? I said no problem, this tide is really weird!"

The rest of the people smiled and didn't speak, but Chen Luoxue threw Tang Xiaotian a roll of his eyes and directly transmitted it to him.

"Oops, look at what excites you. It's not like a few of us haven't been to the South Dipper Star Continent, so this situation was naturally discovered. The reason why I don't say it...... Huh!"

A thousand words are all in plain sight, but Tang Xiaotian knew what Chen Luoxue was going to say, it was nothing more than to give Tang Xiaotian a chance to show his face in front of Chen Yuan.

"Hehe, I'm not taking advantage of the opportunity given by my brothers, if I don't say that, wouldn't it be a brocade night walk? ”

Tang Xiaotian's expression on his face did not change, but he sent a message to Chen Luoxue with a smile.

Chen Luoxue was a little speechless, she felt that it was perfect to describe Tang Xiaotian at this time with different appearances and inconsistencies.

Ximen Feng smiled and nodded to everyone, then thought about it and said to them.

"There is something strange about this tide, so let's take note of it for now. Regarding the time when the kraken landed on the shore, it was after the sea beasts of the Fengyuan Continent broke the seal. Whether this is a coincidence or something to do is now just speculation. Don't take advantage of the next few days, we will be patient and observe. No matter what it is, I believe there will always be clues. ”

When it came to getting down to business, several people became serious. They nodded their heads one by one and discussed their future plans with each other. Today, it seems that all the problems that everyone is facing today have surfaced. The vague unfolding of the selection of the Holy Son, the strange behavior of the sea tide, and whether the landing of the kraken was related to the sea beasts of the Fengyuan Continent were three questions that needed to be solved in front of them.

Less than half an hour before the waters dissipated, the monks had already sorted everything out. The spoils of war were carried onto the flying boats, and the bodies of their companions were sacrificed to make it safe. Sect Master Tian and the others looked at the few people who were still talking, and finally decided to remind them.

"Fellow Daoists, last night's Kraken was repulsed, but that doesn't mean it will be calm tonight. You'd better take advantage of the calm day and rest early!"

When Ximen Feng and the others heard this, they all nodded. Seeing this, Sect Master Tian said again.

"If you don't dislike it, come and rest on our flying boat, which will leave this area and go inland for supplies. ”

"The Flying Boat is back inland for resupply, isn't this a real gathering place yet?"

Tang Xiaotian was surprised, so he asked in a low voice. But after asking, it suddenly came to my senses.

It was a gathering place for monks, but only a gathering place for battles. Since there were wartime gathering places, of course there were post-war gathering places.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?"

Tang Xiaotian, who originally wanted to talk about going over and taking a look, thought of the three major problems in front of him, and his words changed violently.

"Let's go, let's take a look, anyway, it's not in a hurry!"

Seeing what Tang Xiaotian meant, Ximen Feng said with a smile. It is true that things are not in a hurry, and even if they are all here, there is a high probability that they will not get anything, but it is better to do what they should do.

After saying this, Ximen Feng took the lead and headed towards the flying boat. The rest of the people were also interested in the inland gathering place mentioned by Sect Master Tian, so they also got on the flying boat with them.

As soon as a few people landed on the flying boat, Sect Master Tian started the flying boat. It is worthy of a flying magic weapon specially used to carry monks, and in just a few breaths, the flying boat came to the sky.

After a slight pause, the speed of the flying boat was fully expanded, and it jumped out directly with a whoosh. Everyone watched as the battlefield under their feet continued to shrink and finally disappeared from sight.

"That's fast! It's almost faster than we can fly!"

Tang Xiaotian's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise.

"Sacrificing most of the defense and space size, if the speed is not as fast as ours, then this refining method will be too failed. But any refiner who can refine a flying boat should be quite skillful. ”

Xu Chenglin explained with a smile on the side, and Tang Xiaotian nodded after hearing this.

Where there is a strong, there must be a weak, just as there is no perfect world. Just as if you abandon your defense and go all out, your attack will be much sharper, and vice versa.

Since boarding the flying boat, Chen Moheng has been a little reluctant to speak. Ximen Feng noticed his actions, so he asked him strangely.

"Second brother, from the beginning of the flying boat, I told you to stop talking, I don't know what you want to say?"

Chen Moheng saw that his behavior was discovered by Ximen Feng, so he could also hide it and whispered.

"I'm wondering if it's too inefficient to fight the Kraken at night and rush back inland to resupply during the day. Why didn't the monks from the inland gathering place take the initiative to come?"

Although Chen Moheng's voice was not loud, Sect Master Tian still heard it. But seeing him smile and walk towards a few people, he explained as he walked.

"It's not that they don't want to come, it's that it's a real hassle. At the front line of our battle, what we lack is not only all kinds of supplies, but also people. Other monks could come to their aid, but some of the wounded monks couldn't handle it. Several of the flying boats have been requisitioned by us, and it is better for us to rush back in the shortest time if they come over. And we don't go back every day, and today you're just catching up with the seven-day rotation. ”

Hearing what Sect Master Tian said, Chen Moheng understood what was going on.

With a slight fist clench, Chen Moheng looked at Sect Master Tian with a smile.

"Mo Heng speculated wildly, and hoped that Sect Master Tian wouldn't mind. ”

"Eh, where is it. I thank you before it's too late, how can I blame you. ”

Sect Master Tian smiled and waved his hand, and then as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Ximen Peak.

"This time, I was able to bring back so many kraken corpses, thanks to Ximen Daoyou. When you get to the gathering place and exchange these kraken corpses for spirit stones, you will definitely not lose your fellow Daoists!"

"I'll just say why he came here at this time, it turned out that the discussion was mainly about distribution, and it was supplemented by the second brother's confusion. ”

Tang Xiaotian's voice quickly sounded in everyone's ears.

"It's just human nature! If they take all the Kraken corpses for themselves, what do you think of them? Villain before gentleman, that's right. Besides, being a gentleman first gives you a face, even if you are a villain again, it is in the past. ”

As soon as Tang Xiaotian's words fell, Chen Moheng's voice appeared in everyone's ears again.

"Do you lack spirit stones, do you lack materials for the calcined body and the condensation stage kraken?"

Ignoring the words of the two, Ximen Feng just said this.

A few people thought about it, and they understood the meaning of Ximen Peak. Immediately, they all answered that there was no shortage of them, only Tang Xiaotian muttered that they were cheap.

Ximen Feng smiled and ignored Tang Xiaotian. He didn't want to discuss the matter of spirit stones with Sect Master Tian and the others at all, one of the reasons was that he didn't want to get involved too much with them, and the other was that the spirit stones sold by the kraken's corpse were really nothing to them now. Instead of arguing for a little petty profit, it is better to buy people's hearts directly.

Thinking so in his heart, Ximen Feng said to Sect Master Tian with a smile.

"Sect Master Tian, don't be afraid to tell the truth. There are a few of us, and there is actually no shortage of spirit stones. This is the first time I've been here, and I would like to thank you for your cooperation. If it weren't for everyone's joint efforts, they wouldn't have been able to kill so many Krakens. The spirit stones sold by the corpse of this kraken, our share will be divided equally among everyone. It's not easy for everyone to work hard for so long. Spirit stones are very important to everyone, and the more strength there is, the more likely it is to live. ”

Ximen Feng's words were very casual, but Sect Master Tian was extremely shocked after hearing it. In his mind, discussing how to distribute it with Ximen Feng and the others this time would inevitably lead to a lot of words, and he was even ready to cede most of the spirit stones. However, what he didn't find was that Ximen Feng's reaction completely subverted his thoughts.

After taking a few deep breaths, Sect Master Tian stabilized his emotions before he spoke.

"If I understand correctly, Daoist means to distribute your share of the income of spirit stones to all the monks?"

Ximen Feng nodded and smiled without saying a word.

Sect Master Tian choked up and nodded heavily before speaking again.

"Fellow Daoists, if nothing else, I would like to thank you on behalf of all the monks who participated in the battle. If a few of you can be useful to us in the future, we are duty-bound!"

As he spoke, Sect Master Tian clenched his fists heavily at Ximen Feng and the others.

"Haha!

Although he was happy in his heart, Ximen Feng only smiled slightly. also hugged his fists in return, and Ximen Feng said softly.

"You're welcome! Everyone is a monk, so we should help each other!"

As the saying goes, a good word is warm in three winters, and a bad word is cold in three springs, and there is nothing wrong with using this word here. The two light and fluttering words that had no substantive effect immediately warmed the hearts of Sect Master Tian and the others who heard it.

Sect Master Tian came to discuss the distribution on behalf of a group of monks, and it was impossible for anyone to know about such an important matter. Therefore, when Ximen Feng said those words, many monks were as shocked as Sect Master Hetian.

It wasn't until Sect Master Tian expressed his position on behalf of the monks that the monks came to their senses. After hearing Ximen Feng's warm words, all the monks couldn't help but admire Ximen Feng in their hearts.

"Good people, really good people! not only distributed the spirit stones that belonged to them to everyone, but also said such heart-warming words, what is this not a good person?"

All the monks have similar thoughts in their hearts at this moment.

Ximen Feng and the others knew that their move to buy people's hearts was successful, but they didn't know that it was beyond their expectations. Invisibly, the monks actually developed a sense of reverence for several people.

Speaking of which, it is reasonable for a few people to be revered by others. Several of them are not very old, but their cultivation is undoubtedly in the period of condensation. And many people are still in the tempering stage at their age. Not to mention anything else, this cultivation alone is enough for many monks to worship.

Aside from the cultivation of things, the backgrounds of several people are also really good. Looking at the few of them carefully, except for Chen Yuan, who is now out of the sect, the rest of them are all from one of the seven major sects. It is extremely rare to be born in a big sect, and what is even more commendable is that a few people do not have the arrogance of other big sect monks.

Sect Master Tian felt that the monks should express their gratitude to Ximen Feng and the others, so he thought about it for a while and decided to send a few people a favor.

"Fellow Daoists, let us express our gratitude to a few Daoists who have come to support. Not only did they help us fight off the Kraken for the first time, but they also shared the profits from the spirit stones sold by the Kraken's corpse for free. ”

What Sect Master Tian said, in fact, the monks knew about it a long time ago. It's just that everyone is forced to suppress their excitement and doesn't express it. It's one thing to know, it's another thing to show it. Sometimes it's just the way it needs to be, and you have to pretend you don't know when you know it. Because there are some things that can't be too obvious, just understand them in your heart.

Sect Master Tian's words became the last straw that crushed the camel. In the end, the group of cultivators in the Tempering Stage on the flying boat still couldn't withstand the impact of excitement, and shouted towards Ximen Feng and the others one by one.

"Thank you seniors for your generosity!"

"If the seniors are in need, I, Wang Tianliang, will definitely saddle the horse before and after!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too!"

......

Emotions are contagious, and the Tempered Body Cultivators were so excited one by one, even the few Qi Condensing Monks on the flying boat were also excited. At that moment, there was a Qi Condensing Monk who couldn't help the impact of excitement, and greeted Ximen Peak with a fist. The rest of the Qi Condensing Cultivators seemed to be aware of it, and they also hugged their fists in greeting.

"A few Taoist friends are really righteous people, and we admire them!"

"I'm really impressed!"

......

Several Qi Condensation Monks sincerely hugged their fists with Ximen Feng and the others, but there were also shrewd Qi Condensing Monks who smiled lightly and symbolically hugged their fists.

When Ximen Feng saw this situation, he also understood what was going on. His act of buying people's hearts is not obvious, but there are still smart people. Besides, the Qi Condensing Cultivator is not stupid, and he may not react for the time being, but he will always come to his senses. But even if they realize that a few people are buying people's hearts, they will not say it directly, after all, eating people with short mouths and short hands with short hands.

Smiling and clasping his fists in return with the Qi Condensing Monks, Ximen Feng glanced at the faces of several monks who had been reflected without a trace. Everyone is a person who understands, and a few people who have been specially cared for by Ximen Peak nodded and smiled when they received his gaze. Seeing through it or not saying it, this is the wisest person.

successfully bought people's hearts, Ximen Feng felt very satisfied. Even with Xu Chenglin, they also have some pride in their hearts. The battle was victorious and bought people's hearts, and Ximen Feng and his party were proud of this trip. Just when they were in a relaxed mood, the speed of the flying boat also seemed to be much faster.

Unconsciously, thousands of mountains and mountains flashed quickly under everyone's feet. The speed of the flying boat quietly slowed down, and the altitude of the flight gradually decreased. The scene below gradually magnified, and everyone already knew by this time that the gathering place in the interior was about to arrive.
