Volume 1 Chapter 32 Crossing the Sea
After flying away for more than ten days in the starry night, Zhuo Yuming finally came to the shore of the West Sea.
Huanggang is the westernmost city in Xuyun Prefecture and even the entire Void Spirit Realm Continent. The second city was built near the sea, and twenty miles west of the city wall is the coast of the West Sea.
There are very few original inhabitants in this Huanggang City, and most of them are the places where the monks who come and go between the two states of Xuyun and Penglai settle down. In addition to the many shops, there is also a city guard composed of elite soldiers from the two dynasties of Great Chu and Xinyuan. In addition, there are hundreds of monks from various realms drawn from the major sects of the entire Xuyun Prefecture who are also among the city protectors.
Although there are few examples of the Sea Tribes in the four seas landing and invading, there are still some defensive forces stationed in the city.
After Zhuo Yuming arrived in Huanggang City, he didn't stop, and after simply buying some food, he went out of the city and went straight to the port on the coast.
Since Penglai Prefecture is still more than 3,000 miles away from the coast of the West Sea, if a monk with a low realm wants to fly across the sea, it will also be a big test for the spiritual energy consumption in his body. In addition, there are countless sea clans of all kinds in the sea, and it is not uncommon for high-level sea clans to jump out of the sea to prey on the monks who come and go, so some sect forces have established a port on the seashore to carry the monks by ferry.
These cross-sea ferries are much smaller than interstate ferries, and most of them can carry dozens of people on a single ferry. There are formations on the non-transition ships, which can erect a spiritual shield to resist the sea breeze and guard against the Kraken. The speed of the ferry is not fast, from the coastal port to the boundary of Penglai Prefecture, it takes about half a day. The ferry boat collects ten spirit stones for one trip, and twenty spirit stones for a round trip. The price is also fair, even for lowly monks, they can afford it. There are more than 10 ferries in the coastal port, and there are four ferries every day to go back and forth, and after arriving in Penglai Prefecture, rest for an hour and wait for the monks who return there to get on the boat. More than a dozen boats rotate around each other, and three or four are left on standby on the shore every day for emergencies.
Zhuo Yuming came to the shore, looked at the ferry docked in the port, and thought silently in his heart. At his own speed, three thousand miles is a matter of four or five hours. As for the predatory sea clan, there are basically a few caves above the realm that will come out, and safety is not a problem. If you really encounter a sea monster with a high realm, you can't resist it with the aura enchantment on the ferry alone. I just flew directly across the sea, and it was a waste of time to take the ferry.
After making up his mind, Zhuo Yuming took off into the air and flew directly into the air with a ray of light.
In the sea of clouds above the high sky of the West Sea, there are not too few monks who fly through thin air. Zhuo Yuming flew away all the way and saw more than a dozen people. It's just that most of them are not how high the realm is, and they are all surpassed by Zhuo Yuming, who is flying extremely fast.
During this period, he also encountered several sea beasts jumping into the air to prey on the monks who flew over, and most of Zhuo Yuming avoided them. There was a seal with two people at the waist hugging each other, and the direction that rushed up was facing his location, Zhuo Yuming didn't bother to dodge it around the line, so he simply directly split the seal of the Yuan Infant Realm down with a divine thunderbolt.
Nearly five hours later, Zhuo Yuming finally landed on the island of Penglai Prefecture.
Penglai Prefecture is not like Qixia Prefecture, and the island area of Qixia Prefecture is vast, almost half of the area of Dongsheng Prefecture. Penglai Prefecture is just a small island, less than one-third the size of an ordinary state. There are only five Shangxian sects in the entire Penglai Prefecture, and the strongest ones are barely at the bottom level of the second-rate sects. The Supreme Elder with the highest realm in the sect also returned to the Tibetan realm in half a step, and the top combat power of the other four factions was only the peak of the Cave Xuan Realm.
However, there are no natural treasures or caves in Penglai Prefecture, and the only ones that are famous are several local specialty herbs and minerals, so other states are too lazy to send their subordinate forces to Penglai Prefecture to encircle territory. The atmosphere in the entire Penglai Prefecture is harmonious and stable, and there are far fewer disputes between the various sects than in other places. The greatest enemy of a state monk is the Sea Clan, who occasionally goes out to hunt human monks.
After going to the island, I briefly discerned the direction. According to the codex left by Nie Cheng, the patriarch of Cloud City, when the Emperor's Relic Palace was born, Nie Cheng was visiting friends in Penglai Prefecture. His friend was a monk from Penglai Prefecture, and his residence was in Dongfu, which was on a mountain range shaped like a bull's head. The location of the Emperor's Palace is more than 50 miles north of that mountain. In other words, the current human palace should still be sunk in the sea, and as long as you can find the Niutou Mountain, you can lock the approximate location of the sea area where the human palace is located.
However, there are still nearly 20,000 years before the human palace is alive. After 20,000 years of vicissitudes of life, the landform has changed, and it is still unknown whether Niutou Mountain exists now. After all, since you are here, you will go to find it slowly, and it is a big deal to explore the waters within a radius of fifty miles in Penglai Prefecture.
After making up his mind, Zhuo Yuming slowly took off into the air and flew around Penglai Prefecture, first trying to see if he could find the bull's head-shaped mountain range recorded in the patriarch's codex.
—————————————————
On the barren sandy land of Nanchizhou, a monk in a shabby monk's robe walked slowly alone. He seems to be an ascetic monk who has made merit to remove obstacles.
The monk had a sallow complexion, his eyes were blank, and he recited scriptures as he walked. Under the shabby gray monk's robes, he stepped on a pair of straw sandals stained with dirt. The monk folded his hands and wrapped a dull bead around his left wrist, but there was nothing else in his body.
As the monk walked all the way, a long footprint was left on the sand without a trace. On both sides of the footprints, there were also piles of corpses of demon beasts scattered around. These monsters of different shapes and shapes seemed to have been blown open from the inside out by something in their bodies, and all of them were mutilated and embarrassed to die. The ascetic monk seems to have been blessed by the Buddha and has merit to protect his body, and those demon beasts who want to tear him apart and eat him have all fallen three feet away from him.
Since crossing the 100,000 mountains and setting foot in Nanchizhou, the monk who has walked all the way for seven days and seven nights has finally stopped for the first time.
"Ghost Rulai, you come to my Southern Wilderness, what are you doing?"
It turned out that a middle-aged man with yellow hair was standing seven feet in front of the monk.
The man was extremely tall, but slightly thin. He has long yellow hair and a shawl, and wears a golden robe. The man just stood there, exuding a formidable and powerful aura.
The monk known as Ghost Rulai still didn't look up, just stopped reciting the scriptures, and said lightly: "The little monk was guided by the Buddha to come to the southern wilderness to promote Buddhism and help 100,000 demon clans get out of the sea of suffering. ”
After hearing this, the yellow-haired man laughed, pointed at the monk and jokingly asked: "You, a ghost monk who has been abandoned by both man and god, can still hear the guidance of the Buddha? I have heard about you in the Southern Wilderness, and it is rumored that the Lotus Temple, the holy land of Buddhism, has released news in the entire ethereal spirit realm that you have fallen into the devil's path and violated the three precepts of Buddhism, and you have been expelled from the Buddha's path." Why don't you save yourself, and you still have to save my demon clan from the sea of suffering?"
"The Buddha said that all living beings in the world can cross, and demons are also sentient beings, so naturally they can also cross. The little monk wishes to fall into the infernal hell and be reincarnated by thousands of obstacles. Cross your demon clan and leave the Southern Wilderness. ”
After reciting the Buddha's name, unmoved by the other party's sarcastic words, the monk lowered his head and continued.
"King of the Golden-Winged Roc, the little monk has come to help your clan, crossed the 100,000 mountains, and stepped into the Pure Land of Bliss. ”
