Chapter 395: The first experience of the archipelago, the final sight of the phantom man
The arrival of a condensing monk didn't cause much commotion in the Burning Islands. Even under Xu Chenglin's caution, no one noticed his arrival at all. When he first arrived in the Burning Islands, Xu Chenglin felt that it would be better to familiarize himself with the terrain first. So he was silent and wandered around the six islands.
Although he had already found out some news about the Burning Islands before, he still saw a lot of things after this visit. Although these things have little to do with the vision of the island group, they are not a kind of discovery. A day, Xu Chenglin spent all day wandering. And in the evening, he finally saw the so-called vision.
The sky reflected by the sunset is a fiery red, and this red is really addictive. The waves crashed against the shore, not only rolling the shells of the sea into the sand. A golden yellow color that covers the entire sandy beach. Under the breeze, the entire beach looks like a golden-red stream.
As the sun sets over the sea, the sky begins to darken. The fiery clouds on the horizon seemed to know that the sun had set, and the original cheerful fiery red had turned into a slightly dull dimness. Just when the world was about to be darkened, the Burning Islands were different from the rest.
I saw that many head-sized fireballs appeared in the sky above the six islands. These fireballs seem to be flickering and flickering, but the light is constant. Faintly, these fireballs were slowly changing, showing signs of gathering together. Xu Chenglin had been watching this scene from a certain island, and he seemed to feel as if these fireballs were divided into nine parts.
Just as Xu Chenglin was fascinated, a simple voice sounded in his ears.
"Hey, friend, it's not long ago!"
Xu Chenglin had already noticed the arrival of this person, but found that there was no hostility and murderous aura on this person, and he still looked honest, so he didn't care too much. Knowing that this person was leaning towards him, Xu Chenglin realized that this person was looking for him. Even so, he pretended not to be aware.
His body trembled, and Xu Chenglin pretended to be awakened. He turned his head with a little displeasure, but after looking at the honest young man in front of him, he smiled helplessly.
"Daoyou's voice came so suddenly, it actually startled Pang!"
The honest young man was a little familiar, and he smiled before he continued to speak.
"Didn't you look at the Taoist friends carefully, and specially came to explain to the Taoist friends. ”
Hearing the honest young man's words, Xu Chenglin's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something. He smiled slightly and hugged his fist at the honest young man.
"Oh, so Daoyou has been here for a long time?
The honest young man smiled slightly, and also returned the salute with a fist.
"Brother is polite! A certain Chen Chu has been staying here for more than a month. ”
When Xu Chenglin heard this, he hurriedly shouted Brother Chen with a smile. Then he took advantage of the first acquaintance between the two, and exchanged a few words of greeting. Of course, he didn't know whether Chen Chu's origin was true or false, but his own origin was the same as before.
After the two chatted for a few words, Xu Chenglin asked his questions.
"Dare to ask Brother Chen, in the past month, I don't know what I have discovered? I heard that the vision here has been there at the earliest, I wonder if these people have discovered the source of this vision?"
The honest young man Chen Chu smiled, as if he had long known that Xu Chenglin would ask this. He smiled mysteriously and spoke.
"My brother's place is far from here, so I came late. But at night, it's not a bad thing. In the past month or so, the Burning Islands have not changed much. There were more and more fireballs in the sky, and they began to show signs of gathering. After all these changes, you can't see anything else?"
Xu Chenglin was a little surprised when he heard this, his eyes were wide open, and he made a stunned look.
"That's it? Didn't you find something else? Didn't you explore the six islands?"
Chen Chu smiled and then explained.
"I guess brother will have this question! Why haven't we explored, the aura here is sometimes calm and sometimes violent, and everyone's exploration method is not used here at all. Even the Yue Fan seniors of the various sects were only able to explore this archipelago preliminarily. But what they were able to explore, how could they share with us. However, it is said that some of the people who came to the scattered cultivators knew how to use feng shui, and they once detected that there was a large amount of fire element gathering under the islands, but then they never detected it again. But I guess it's fake! If you think about it, you'll know how the fire aura gathers beneath the surface of the sea. ”
Chen Chu said cheerfully, but he didn't see a few flashes of light in Xu Chenglin's eyes.
After digesting Chen Chu's words a little, Xu Chenglin asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Brother Chen said that there are Yuefan monks on the islands, I don't know how many Yuefan monks are here?"
Chen Chu didn't think much about it, and after a slight calculation, he replied.
"There are countless sects that have come here, but there are sects led by Monk Yuefan, that is, those dozen or so. According to preliminary estimates, there are almost twenty Leap Monks in the Burning Islands. ”
Hearing the amount reported by Chen Chu, Xu Chenglin took a slight breath.
"Good fellow! At the beginning, on the Pure Land, there were only a few dozen Yuefan monks in one gathering place. I didn't expect that the vision of an archipelago would lead to so many leaping monks. But it's not surprising, I can think of the relationship between legends and visions, and maybe the old monsters have thought of it too. ”
Xu Chenglin was secretly thinking about this in his heart, and suddenly thought of something else in his heart.
"It's hard to imagine that a small Burning Isle could gather so many Leaping Monks. But then again, the first sect of my Fengyuan Continent is also here to make trouble?"
Chen Chu raised his eyes and glanced at the air, then looked at Xu Chenglin and said with a smile.
"Brother Pang is talking about the Phantom Sect! But your news is really a little closed, I think you are not only far away, you should not have walked except for some years. ”
Chen Chu's words made Xu Chenglin a little stunned, and he immediately frowned and asked rhetorically.
"Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Chu nodded, looking like he was really like this.
"Brother Pang's words were not wrong at all in the past. It's just that about a year ago, the Phantom Sect no longer regarded itself as the number one sect in the Fengyuan Continent. There is a good saying, the tree is a big wind. The situation above this Pure Land, it is estimated that Brother Pang should know. What happened to the Thousand Buddha Temple was not because of some ghost caused by the Immortal Sect. We can't tell what is wrong with it, but in the final analysis, it is just because of the struggle of power. If it weren't for the title of the first sect, they wouldn't have been attacked by others......"
Chen Chu talked eloquently, looking like he knew the inside story. But Xu Chenglin listened to what he said, but it was undeniable. The Immortal Sect is a group of guys who play with corpses, just because they also want to become the first sect in the Pure Land. Jokes, it's a big joke. Not to mention that the sects of several other continents did not agree, even the monks of the Pure Land would not agree. Unless the Pure Land is not called the Pure Land, or everyone in the Pure Land changes to the cultivation of corpse arts, the Immortal Sect will become the first sect in the Pure Land. The real reason for the Pure Land Rebellion, Xu Chenglin didn't know what it was until now. But he expected that it was definitely not what Chen Chu said.
Not wanting to listen to Chen Chu's nonsense anymore, Xu Chenglin coughed twice and interrupted his talk.
What Brother Chen said made some sense, and suddenly Pang Moumao was stunned. But then again, Brother Chen didn't seem to have said anything about the Phantom Sect after talking for a long time. ”
Chen Chu laughed wryly, and he really didn't get to the point after saying it for a long time. He smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands before speaking.
"Speaking of this Phantom Sect, I actually still care about the appearance of this vision. This Phantom Spirit Sect is worthy of being the first sect in the Fengyuan Continent before, and two Yuefan monks came directly at once. It was a coincidence that these two monks were none other than the monks who first supported the Pure Land. Speaking of them......"
Seeing that Chen Chu was about to pull on the Pure Land Rebellion again, Xu Chenglin hurriedly interrupted.
"Brother Chen said that the Phantom Sect has also come over, but I have also taken a turn in this Burning Islands, why haven't I seen the shadow of the Phantom Sect. ”
Chen Chu's words were interrupted by Xu Chenglin again, somewhat displeased. He pursed his lips and put a smile on his face again.
"A group of people from the Phantom Spirit Sect felt that it was really not much fun to stay here, so they took more than a dozen Qi Condensation Stage cultivators to the sea to practice. But every once in a while, they came back to observe the place. I believe it won't be long before they return. ”
Xu Chenglin nodded clearly, and understood what was going on. Seeing Xu Chenglin's appearance, Chen Chu's eyes narrowed as if he had thought of something.
"Brother Pang cares so much about the Phantom Spirit Sect, could it be that he is not familiar with them?"
Although he didn't know why Chen Chu had such a question, how could Xu Chenglin easily answer this question. He smiled and made up a reason.
"Brother Chen said with a smile, if I am familiar with the Phantom Sect, I don't know where they went. It's just that I just suddenly thought of this question, and I asked curiously. ”
Xu Chenglin's answer was very casual, and Chen Chu couldn't tell the truth on his face. The two talked about some other things, and finally Chen Chu explained his intentions.
"The Burning Islands are now divided, and if one person is alone, he will not be able to gain anything. Only together will we be stronger. I wonder if Brother Pang has any intention of joining our alliance?"
I said that Chen Chu was idle and had nothing to do, why did he come to me, the original purpose was here. It's just that we are not destined to unite with you, otherwise it is unknown what will happen. ”
Thinking so in his heart, Xu Chenglin pretended to think deeply. After a long time, he sighed and shook his head.
"Thank you Brother Chen for your kindness! It's just that I came here to watch the trouble, and I didn't make any preparations. Joining you rashly is not only irresponsible for yourself, but also irresponsible for fellow Daoists. ”
These few sentences were very satisfying, so that Chen Chu didn't know how to refute Xu Chenglin for a while. Opening his mouth, Chen Chu finally sighed.
Brother Pang is reasonable, but if Brother Pang wants to join our alliance, he can go directly to the southwest to find us when the time comes. ”
Xu Chenglin showed apologies on his face and hugged his fists at Chen Chu. Chen Chu didn't blame Xu Chenglin, and also returned the salute with a fist. At this time, the two chatted a few more words. Chen Chu saw that there was nothing to gain from Xu Chenglin's side, so he took his leave and left.
Xu Chenglin digested the news revealed by Chen Chu, and he found a place to lie on his back and look at the vision in the sky. At this glance, it was a night that passed. The sun slowly rises over the sea, and the sky gradually brightens in the distance. The clouds on the horizon smiled again, revealing a red color. The fireballs in the sky seemed to know that their stage had passed, and they quietly hid their tracks, gradually becoming transparent. It wasn't until the sun came out that the fireball in the sky finally disappeared.
After a night's observation, Xu Chenglin still gained something. He discovers that the fireballs he sees at night are not entities, but illusory beings. If Xu Chenglin was asked to describe it, he felt that the fireball he saw was just one
It's just a kind of projection. However, where is the source of the projection, which makes Xu Chenglin puzzled.
One, two, five have passed in the blink of an eye. Over the years, Xu Chenglin had communicated with the monks on the island from time to time, and walked around the archipelago from time to time. But more than that, he explores six islands. Xu Chenglin's exploration is not aimed at the six islands, but to investigate the situation under the islands.
At the beginning, someone in Chen Chu detected the gathering of fire aura under the island, and many people took this as a joke. When Xu Chenglin heard this, he felt that it was very likely. He had been to the Southern Dipper Star Continent, and he knew about the existence of Hell Island and Haomiao Island. The Fire Hell Island can be next to the iceberg-like Vast Island, so it is not surprising that the fire aura gathers in the water. In line with the principle that there must be demons in the abnormality, Xu Chenglin specially selected the underground of the island for exploration.
Facts have proved that Chen Chu is quite right in some things. Although Xu Chenglin used his divine sense to explore, it still took him a lot of effort to actually explore. The aura fluctuations of this Burning Islands caused him great trouble. You must know that the aura is disordered to a certain extent, but it will directly tear off the divine sense. After some investigation, Xu Chenglin was slightly disappointed. He hadn't found out that there was a fire aura under the island, let alone a fire aura gathered.
"Oh yes, could it really be some people talking nonsense? No, who is idle and has nothing to do with this excuse?"
Shaking his head, Xu Chenglin was about to give up and continue to explore. At this moment, there was a stir on the Burning Islands. Xu Chenglin was attracted by this movement, and couldn't help but ask the monks on the same island.
A blue-clothed monk was stopped by Xu Chenglin, and after the two talked a few words, Xu Chenglin heard the blue-clothed monk's answer.
"What? you don't know? The Phantom Cult is back today, and it's said that these people aren't going to be gone anymore. ”
As soon as he heard that the monk of the Phantom Spirit Sect had returned, Xu Chenglin immediately came to his senses. With a warm smile on his face, he continued to ask.
"I wonder if Brother Tai can tell me that the Phantom Sect monk is now settled on that island?"
When the blue-clothed monk heard Xu Chenglin's words, he immediately smiled and spoke.
"It seems that Daoyou and the Phantom Sect have a lot of friendship!"
Xu Chenglin smiled undeniably, neither answering yes nor answering no.
The blue-clothed monk saw that he could not find any useful information, so he smiled helplessly.
"Daoyou's tone is really strict! But it doesn't matter, after all, it has nothing to do with me. The location of the Phantom Cult is actually not a secret. Do you know the island in the southeast? They settled there with people. ”
Xu Chenglin hugged his fists and thanked the man. Then he turned around and walked towards the island to the southeast.
It was just a short period of effort, and Xu Chenglin came to the southeast island. This time, he casually found someone to inquire, and Xu Chenglin knew the residence of the Phantom Sect and his party. Not only that, but he also inquired about the existence of two young fairies in the group.
Xu Chenglin knew that the Phantom Spirit Sect was led by two Yuefan monks this time, and one of them was still a Yuefan stage female cultivator. The remaining female cultivator is a condensing qi cultivator. The female cultivator who condensed qi cultivation was still among the people of the Phantom Spirit Sect, and the first person who popped out of Xu Chenglin's mind was Chen Luoxue. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and the more he thought it was possible, the more he wanted to make contact with the Phantom Sect and his group.
Thinking so in his heart, Xu Chenglin walked quickly towards the place where the Phantom Spirit Sect and his party had settled. He couldn't care about much, and wanted to see Chen Luoxue urgently. Just as he was about to hit the Phantom Cult's foothold, he suddenly saw three people walking out of the Phantom Cult's temporary residence.
These three people are all men, two of them Xu Chenglin doesn't know, but there is a short-haired man in Tsing Yi inside, but he still has some impressions.
"Damn! It's Bai Haoming! Why is this person still alive now, I thought he was dead a long time ago. In the early stage of Qi Condensation, this guy was really lucky! No, this cultivation was so unstable, it seemed that he had been forced to rely on pills and heavenly treasures. Hey, it's worthy of someone from the sect, this resource is really incomparable!"
Thinking so in his heart, Xu Chenglin's restless heart also calmed down. Glancing at the temporary location of the Phantom Cult, he turned his head and left directly.
Xu Chenglin didn't want to meet Bai Haoming yet, but he remembered that there was some grudge between the two of them. The enemy was very red when he saw him, and even Xu Chenglin was not exempt from vulgarity. I didn't see Xu Chenglin, I just glanced at it, and there were hurtful words in my heart. From this, it is conceivable what the situation would be if the two really met.
Now there are really a lot of Yuefan monks on the Burning Islands, and Xu Chenglin can't wait to be noticed by these people. If it caused any unnecessary trouble because of meeting Bai Haoming, it was something he didn't want to see. Moreover, the female cultivator of the Condensation Stage in the Phantom Spirit Sect was not necessarily Chen Luoxue. It was for these reasons that Xu Chenglin turned away.
"Something is wrong! According to my personality, even if I knew that Luo Xue was in that group, I shouldn't be so anxious. Why do I always feel anxious this time, it seems that I can't wait. It's only been a few months since they've been apart, so why do you feel like this? Could it be because of that drop of golden-red liquid from the Immortal Sect? No, why didn't it happen some time ago?"
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chenglin couldn't do anything, so he didn't want to ask for it.
Xu Chenglin often walks around, and he has seen a lot of people in the world. But there are some things that you don't experience on your own, and you never know how to do it. If you don't see each other, Xu Chenglin has heard this idiom. But he didn't know that his eagerness now was something called longing.
