Volume 1 Leaving the Chaos Chapter 70 The Water of the Waves of the Cross-Sea Temple
Ning Baifeng inquired about the direction of the cross-sea boat, and went straight to the Canglang ferry.
Canglang Ferry, the only cross-sea ferry port from Lizhou. The remote island can only be connected to the outside world through this place. Intracontinental communication can be done with Xinhe, Xinjian, and all kinds of things, but the continents are too far away from each other, and communication methods such as Xinhe Xinjian may be intercepted or exhausted before they fly out of the boundary of a continent.
Therefore, the connection between continents can only be relied on cross-sea boats, but this is not the case, thousands of years ago, a genius of the miscellaneous family was inspired by the immortals in the paintings of calligraphers and painters, and refined a kind of painting paper. The drawing paper is written in duplicate, and the handwriting will appear on the other drawing paper, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be clearly seen. This genius of the miscellaneous family refined this kind of paper, which was originally intended to be used to pass on the book to the beloved woman, but accidentally added a way of communication between the continents. So this method has been given a beautiful name, called Mandarin Duck Book.
But this mandarin duck book also has drawbacks, it can only be used once, and it can be written when it is finished, and it cannot be erased and rewritten. At the same time, the price of refining this kind of mandarin duck book is also extremely high, so those who can use it are all rich and noble immortal families, and cultivators who don't have the financial resources can only listen to it.
Therefore, for the vast majority of cultivators or sects from various continents, they need to communicate with each other, and the most important way is to cross the sea, although the efficiency is low, but it is better to be stable and the cost is small.
Therefore, a large-scale communication hall will be built at the ferry crossing of the sea boat to collect or send various messages.
Ning Baifeng was standing at the door of the Communication Hall at this time, looking at the busy crowd coming in and out, and was thinking about whether to send a message back to Li Wan and Yuan Zhen.
After thinking about it carefully, he still dispelled this idea, Li Wan doesn't know what the situation is now, spreading the news indiscriminately will only cause trouble, even if Yuanzhen is there, anyway, there has been an agreement, and it is the same whether the news is passed on or not.
Therefore, Ning Baifeng turned around and walked towards another taller building, with a golden plaque hanging on the majestic hall, and three extremely bold characters of the Cross-Sea Hall were written on it.
Ning Baifeng has been practicing calligraphy for a long time, and he has a certain ability to distinguish between the opinions of words. As for the three words of the cross-sea hall, they are already three powerful characters, and it is impossible to see whether it is an offensive talisman or a defensive talisman for the time being, but it can be confirmed that it can be hung on the main hall of the cross-continent ferry, and its grade is definitely not low.
The hall is also very busy, behind more than a dozen beautifully made wooden tables, a ushering person is receiving people of different colors, all of whom pay to take the number plate, and then turn around and leave.
The person who received Ning Baifeng was a young woman with an ordinary appearance, and what she saw with Ning Baifeng's Qi Hope Technique was the cultivation of the Second Realm of the Mortal Fetus, as for whether there was a hidden cultivation of qi like the old man at the windward bridgehead in Linhai County, it was unknown.
After a short conversation, Ning Baifeng got a message that made his brows furrow.
There is only one trip every six months, and the last time it left was two months ago, and it will be four months before the next trip, which means that it will not be available until the end of the year. Moreover, the cross-sea boat can only go to Zhenzhou, and if you want to go to other places, you have to transfer to other cross-sea boats in Zhenzhou.
This gave Ning Baifeng a little headache, and in desperation, Ning Baifeng could only book a room now to avoid crossing the sea boat but not being able to get on the boat.
This time, Ning Baifeng learned to be obedient, and did not choose a high-end residence with a single courtyard, but bought a medium and independent room, and the location is estimated to be good, after all, the price of the same medium room is also different, and the one that Ning Baifeng bought is just not up or down.
The cost of the cross-sea boat was ten treasures, and Ning Baifeng's hands trembled a little when he paid the money. Tongbao money, that is not folded money, converted into worldly gold and silver, can be piled up into a small mountain. Fortunately, this young woman only needs the boat fare, and she doesn't charge any errand fees like the old man, otherwise Ning Baifeng really plans to live at the bottom of the cross-sea boat.
The reason is simple, cheap, save money.
Out of the Cross-Sea Palace, Ning Baifeng wandered around with the crowd. When he walked into a street by chance, he suddenly saw a Jianwentang, which reminded him of when he was in the Butterfly Valley, the old Taoist priest took him and Yuanzhen to Jianwentang to buy books, and the mustard seed bag still retains the "Catalogue of Mountains and Seas" and "The First Solution of Swordsmanship" given by the old Taoist, as well as some other books.
Ning Baifeng sighed with emotion and walked in with a smile. The layout of the hall is still the secular books downstairs, and the immortal family records upstairs.
Ning Baifeng deliberately walked downstairs for a while, and selected a few books that could be seen, as well as calligraphy books that were widely circulated by the calligrapher's children.
After wrapping up his things, Ning Baifeng stepped onto the second floor.
What catches your eye is a row of cubicles, with pots of tea and people of all shapes and sizes sitting.
Ning Baifeng didn't plan to buy any immortal classics, so he didn't go to the big counter, but just walked around the cubicle, found an empty one, and sat down.
The small cubicle in the hall is actually very particular, which is also what Ning Baifeng only learned from reading miscellaneous books and "Catalogue of Mountains and Seas". There is a lot of news about the temple, so much that it can be used to sell for money, and such a small cubicle is called the hearing room, and people who want to listen to all kinds of news can sit in it and wait for a while, and there will be hyacinths from the temple coming over, and if they want to know what to ask directly, they will collect money according to the situation.
After pouring tea, an old man walked into the cubicle, sat opposite Ning Baifeng, and said with a smile: "Old Ke Ziyan, if there is anything you want to ask, you can say it now." ”
Ning Baifeng drank the tea in his hand, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Old man, in fact, I don't have anything to ask, I just came to Jianwentang to hang out, and I just want to find someone to chat with when I sit in." ”
Ke Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, there are many people who come to this hall to listen to the news, but there are not many people who come to talk to people, this person is a wonderful person.
Ke Ziyan said with a smile: "In fact, listening to the news is also chatting, if the son has no purpose, then there is no talk about it, and what he says is more bland and tasteless than this tea." ”
Ning Baifeng said: "In this case, the old gentleman might as well pick up a few interesting ones to talk about what news he has heard recently." ”
Ke Ziyan thought for a moment, and said seriously: "There are still a few major events recently, since the beginning of the year, there was a ferry boat crashing incident on the border of Beiliang, which was rumored to be cut off by a giant knife from outside the sky, and many people are exploring where this knife came from, but the results have not yet been found. On the contrary, it was a big accident in the place where the ferry fell. The first half of the ferry fell outside the Dry Water City, and after a chaotic treasure robbery battle, the Dry Water City was razed to the ground, and tens of thousands of people in the city were not spared. ”
"Another ferry crashed in the mountains and forests, and it was also a great battle, and there was not a single mountain more than ten zhang within a radius of thirty miles. In the battle between the two places, it is rumored that several Yuanying Earth Immortals have fallen, and the number of Jindan Earth Immortals who died is two-handed. ”
Ning Baifeng was a little frightened, fortunately he left in time that day, if he was greedy for money and treasures, he would definitely not survive if he went to the place where the ferry crashed.
Ke Ziyan waited for a while, and saw that Ning Baifeng didn't speak, thinking that he didn't feel anything about the news, and then continued: "Three months ago, the giant sea tide in Linhai County under the mountain struck, rushing to a giant clam of the mysterious realm. ”
Ning Baifeng smiled, he really guessed it, so there was no competition for such a treasure, it was a bit too much to say. After all, the shopkeeper was hearsay, or he deliberately concealed the truth in order to solicit business, which is difficult to say. Fortunately, I didn't go to join in the fun, otherwise I would have had a good time.
Ning Baifeng smiled: "Old man, are there any others?"
Ke Ziyan held the teacup and pondered for a moment, and said: "Two months ago, the sword aura in the Jutong Mountain Range in Taikang County, Northern Liang Kingdom, was soaring, and it could be seen clearly dozens of miles away, this kind of vision was obviously a treasure was born, but many people rushed over afterwards, but they didn't find anything, it is said that there was once a mundane mountain villa there, and it also disappeared. ”
Ning Baifeng's heart was shocked, and he was about to ask, but he quietly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and asked, "Has anyone found out anything?"
Ke Ziyan shook his head, "No, the people who went there returned in vain, but I heard that there were several fights in the mountains and forests, and there were a lot of filthy things." ”
Ning Baifeng breathed a sigh of relief, the villa was fine. Thinking that there was no need to talk any further, he got up and paid and left.
Walking on the streets, the lively scene once again poured into the eyes and ears, and the bustling sound was endless.
Ning Baifeng was still wandering aimlessly, still recalling the words of the hyacinth Ke Ziyan in his mind. This made him feel like a disaster star, where he went, something happened, it was still the earth-shattering kind, and several things related to him in succession made him sigh a little.
When wandering to a huge square, Ning Baifeng was shocked by the huge archway on the square.
In the center of the square within a radius of one mile, there is a memorial arch dozens of zhang high, and the big plaque in the middle is written with the four big characters of "the water of the waves", which is as majestic as the waves. There are two stone carving dragon turtles standing in front of the archway, there are more than ten zhang high, look up, you can feel the momentum of the dragon turtle stone carving more, the center of the archway is a blurry water mirror, there are people in and out constantly, obviously the archway is the entrance and exit of a secret realm.
Only then did Ning Baifeng understand that he had come to the largest cultivation sect in Linhai Canglang Mountain, and it was the only cultivation sect, Canglang Sea Palace.
Although Canglang Sea Palace is suffix with the word palace, its strength is much stronger than that of some mountain gates with the prefix of the word in Lizhou, just because Canglang Sea Palace sits on the sea Canglang Mountain, holding the only cross-sea ferry in Lizhou, and its financial resources are almost no less than that of Qianzhong Valley. There are even rumors that the palace master of Canglang Sea Palace and Luojiashan in the South China Sea of Zhenzhou have a marriage, otherwise Luojiashan's cross-sea boat will not dock at Canglang Mountain near the sea.
Luojia Mountain is the top gate in Zhenzhou, and it is not much worse than the True Martial Arts Dojo of the Martial Arts Holy Land. There is an old saying in Zhenzhou that circulates among cultivators, Zhenzhou South China Sea, half of the Luo family.
If Canglang Sea Palace is really as rumored, hugging the big thick leg of Luojiashan, it will be even more incredible.
Ning Baifeng looked up at the dragon turtle stone carving, and then looked at the big characters on the archway, "Hey, it's really imposing!"
