Chapter II: Investigations

Passing through a dark passage, the front suddenly brightened, a breeze blew in, Zhang Zhiping shrugged his nose, smelled a moisture and salty smell, and became more and more sure of what kind of place this is, sure enough, as soon as he came out of the hole, the endless sea came into the eyes of the two, sparkling, the smoke was vast, the sky was clear, and the scales were rushing.

Although Zhang Zhiping had seen the sea in movies and television in his previous life, he had never been to the beach; not to mention Wu Yong, who grew up in the Zhou Kingdom since he was a child, his memory of the sea was only in some words, and he thought that the sea was just a big lake!

Standing on the cliff and looking at the sea, the sea and the sky are one, and you can't tell whether it is water or sky. As the saying goes: the fog locks the mountain, the mountain locks the fog, and the sky is even the water and the tail water is even the sky. The sea in the distance, under the delicate sunshine, is like pieces of fish scales spread on the water, and like a naughty child constantly jumping to the shore.

Nearby, waves surged in, crashing against the rocks, making a roar of collapse and spraying snow-white foam. The two of them looked at the vast sea, and suddenly felt open-minded, and some of the depression caused by being chased by the Red Demon quietly dissipated, and the whole person became refreshed.

Zhang Zhiping was a little addicted to this new beauty, Wu Yong was not as pretentious as Zhang Zhiping, and after a moment of amazement, he came back to his senses and began to explore the surrounding situation.

After a slight glance, I didn't find any demonic energy or prohibition, and the aura was also very thin, not like a monk. After thinking about it, he cautiously flew up from the side of the cliff, and soon reached the top of the mountain, taking in the situation around him.

Ascending to the heights and looking into the distance, Wu Yong found that they were now on an island, with a radius of about 100 miles, and the high mountains below them divided the island into two parts, the south side was lush and green, and there was a lush forest, and in the north, there was a town with a faint human population. Whew, it doesn't seem to be a deserted place.

At this time, Zhang Zhiping also flew up, after all, he was still in an unfamiliar environment, and it was not the time to enjoy the scenery. Looking at the people in front of him, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect us to come to the sea area, but I don't know which of the four seas is here?"

Wu Yong had also read some records from the four seas, nodded and said, "It seems that there are no monks stationed on this island, only a mortal town, now we go there directly to see?"

Zhang Zhiping shook his head and said: "There are so many mortals on the island, and our rash appearance will inevitably attract people's attention, so let's investigate the situation first." After saying that, he used the technique of seeing and hearing, and used his powerful perception to probe the situation in the town.

Wu Yong frowned when he saw this, but he didn't say anything. This kind of appearance, a little too cautious, after all, as an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, he is no different from an immortal in front of mortals, if this is still timid, then what kind of immortal is he cultivating?

Is it true that if you don't reach the top for the rest of your life, you will have to hide yourself like a mole for the rest of your life? Wu Yong was a little noncommittal to Zhang Zhiping, but this is not a big deal, and the two still have cooperation for the time being, so let him go.

Zhang Zhiping didn't know what Wu Yong was thinking in his heart, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, everyone has their own way of living, so why force it? Under his perception, he quickly collected the situation in the town, in general, the language style is consistent with the mainland heritage, with a strong local accent, which can be roughly understood; the clothing and clothing are different from the mainland, and the material should be made of linen cloth unique to this place; one thing to note is that the people here seem to believe in the gods, not to mention that there is a temple in the center of the town, and every household has a statue of the gods, so be careful not to accidentally conflict in the future.

After briefly telling Wu Yong about the situation here, the two discussed it and soon learned the language style here. However, they didn't plan to go directly to contact these mortals, and after descending the mountain to approach the town, they quietly sneaked into the city lord's mansion, ready to learn more about the situation here.

There are no monks in the city, and with the strength of the two of them, they can be called unscrupulous. However, the two of them didn't mean to hurt these mortals, and one illusion went down, causing the rest of the people to faint, and then directly cast an ecstasy spell on the city lord and began to inquire in detail.

The city lord didn't know too much, but he unexpectedly knew a lot of news about immortal cultivators. According to him, immortal cultivators and mortals are not as distinct as the mainland overseas, that is because the sea is often infested by demon beasts, and they can survive thanks to the protection of immortal cultivators.

Therefore, the mortals on the island believe in the immortals very much, and they worship at home, and he, as the lord of the city, has a fairy incense left by the immortals, which is worshiped by him in the ancestral hall, if the demon beast is found in the sea, it can be helped by the immortals after it is lit.

In addition, the most famous thing on the island is that a hundred years ago, the Immortal Peak had a strange light, attracting a large number of immortals to come. It is rumored that on that day, the island was covered with wind and rain, and the earth shook and the mountains shook, and it took three days before it stopped, but the topography of the entire mountain changed dramatically, and these mortals could only kneel and pray to the gods at that time, and they were in awe of the mountain, and named it the Immortal Peak, even after a full hundred years, no one has ever been to the mountain again.

This is a small island in the East China Sea, all the people who live on it are mortals, and there are some islands scattered nearby, most of them are like this, only to the east for thousands of miles, there is a large island with a radius of thousands of miles, called Lingyuan Island, which is the center of this area, it is rumored that there are immortals living on it, and there are many strange islands around, all of which are immortal residences.

After asking some more things, and after finding that this city lord didn't know more things, Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong quietly left and returned to the Immortal Peak at the beginning.

Although it was only some vague news, the two of them quickly judged that the immortal cultivation world here was far more prosperous than the five kingdoms immortal cultivation world. Because according to what the village chief said, there is a powerful island lord on Lingyuan Island, who rules tens of thousands of miles of sea territory in this area, and a Jindan stage monk alone may not be able to do this, only the rumored Yuan Infant stage monk can have such a lofty status.

This suddenly made Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong surprised, the appearance of the Yuan Infant Stage Monk shows that this place is more suitable for cultivation, but it also shows that the danger is far greater than that of other places, and the two of them are small Foundation Building Stage monks, and they may fall in this strange place if they are not careful.

The two discussed for a long time, and then decided to thoroughly heal their injuries first and then go to Lingyuan Island after getting ready. After all, this is just a mortal island, and the aura is lacking, so it's okay to stay for a short time, but if you want to cultivate, you have to go to the immortal cultivation realm.

In the next few days, Zhang Zhiping studied this dilapidated celestial ruin, and at the same time repaired Zhihai with the imprint of celestials, and Wu Yong didn't know where to hide to recuperate, and he couldn't even see a human figure. Most of the things in the ruins have been destroyed, but according to rumors, this incident happened a hundred years ago, and it should have been done by the monks on Lingyuan Island.

Soon ten days passed, Zhang Zhiping's Zhihai was finally repaired, at this time, Wu Yong also appeared again, but his expression was not good-looking, and after seeing Zhang Zhiping, he took the lead in saying: "Senior Brother Zhang is polite, Senior Brother has some things I want to ask Senior Brother for help." ”

Zhang Zhiping was stunned when he heard this, what is the matter with this Wu Yong? But he quickly smiled and said: "Senior brother is polite, you and I are in this strange place, we should watch and help each other, I don't know if there is anything important that senior brother needs help?"

Wu Yong's face improved a little, and he hurriedly said: "Senior brother's magic attainments are famous in the five countries, I don't know if there is a way to cure the sea of knowledge?"

"Zhihai hurt?" Zhang Zhiping suddenly felt interesting, he had just repaired Zhihai. However, repairing one's own sea of knowledge is not the same as repairing other people's sea of knowledge, so he immediately said: "I can deal with some simple problems, if it is too serious, I need to take a closer look, after all, the sea of knowledge is the soul incarnation, and I can't say for sure." ”
