Chapter 13: The Mirage
Baoluo City covers an area of thousands of miles, from west to east there are hundreds of miles, even if the white night by boat, the speed is not slow, when the port at the mouth of the sea in the east of the city, it is already the twilight of the sunset.
The sun gradually sets in the western mountains, and the boat stops at the mouth of the sea in the white night, looking at the vast night above the East China Sea, and can't see far.
However, at this time, the stars in the sky gradually appeared, reflecting on the surface of the sea, and the sea and the sky were connected, as if the stars were coming out of the East China Sea. It doesn't look magnificent.
makes Bai Ye can't help but think of a poem in his previous life: The stars are brilliant, if they are out of it!
This situation is simply a perfect portrayal of this poem. He couldn't help but be intoxicated, and simply let go of the control of the boat, let it drift with the tide, and gradually sailed out of the sea and into the East China Sea.
The boat undulates with the waves on the sea, and the reflected stars are all around, as if driving in a sea of stars. Occasionally, schools of fish can be seen chasing the starlight, swimming in the sea in patches, frolicking by the boat, and shattering the starlight.
Bai Ye slowly lay down in the boat, controlling the boat, not far from the estuary, looking up at the stars in the sky, sleeping on the sea of stars, the nervousness and cautious mentality along the way, gradually let go and became relaxed.
He is ready to wait for tomorrow's sunrise on the sea at this estuary, and see the even more magnificent sunrise in the East China Sea.
The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it! The stars are brilliant, if out of it!
He has already seen the splendid beauty of the sea and sky, and the stars and Han, so naturally he can't miss the magnificence of the 'big sunrise in it'.
In fact, at this time, here to watch the night view of the stars, waiting for the sunrise is not only the white night, there are people in the attic on the shore drinking to the moon, there are people fishing for the stars on the boats on the sea, and even there are flying magic weapons in mid-air chasing the wind and the moon.
Watching the stars at night and the rising sun at day have always been the two most beautiful scenery here, attracting many people to visit and sightsee here every day.
Lying on the boat in the white night, looking at the stars in the sky, in the sea of dantian knowledge, the natal bronze mirror is still constantly swallowing spiritual energy and refining mana.
His mind gradually fell silent, and he slowly entered a state of self-forgetfulness, forgetting the skin of his body, only his spirit soared, dancing with the stars, and gradually seemed to merge with the stars.
In the sea of dantian knowledge, the spiritual light of the natal bronze mirror flickered, gradually synchronizing with the shining of the stars in the sky, as if resonating. The rhythm and rhythm of the aura also slowly changed, and a little bit of starlight emerged from the surrounding starlight, being swallowed and refined.
The white night was intoxicated and unwilling to wake up, and the boat and the sleeping man seemed to gradually dissolve in the starlight and become one with the starlight.
Time passed slowly, the sky full of stars rose in the east and set in the west, and gradually disappeared, the starlight between heaven and earth gradually dispersed, the white night gradually woke up from the mysterious selfless artistic conception, the surrounding darkness, it was the darkest time before dawn, he was a little dazed for a while, but his heart was extremely clear.
"Huh?" Suddenly, he found that in his Zhihai Dantian, his mana had increased dramatically, and this night's kung fu was no less than a month's usual practice!
"It's those starlight!"
Although he was in a state of selflessness during the night, he was still clear about his state and experience subconsciously, and immediately thought of the starlight that the natal bronze mirror swallowed from the starlight.
The mana refined by Starlight overnight was actually equivalent to the mana obtained from refining the aura for a month, which really made him smack his tongue.
"Refining spirit stones in the Qi refining period, refining spirit jade in the foundation building period, refining chalcedony in the Jindan period, refining the flower of the sun and moon and the essence of the stars in the Yuan infant stage!"
"In other words, this Xinghui should have been an existence that only the Yuanying True Monarch could absorb and refine!"
"No wonder the effect of one night is worth the work of a month in ordinary times!" Bai Ye sighed, and then frowned again, "It's a pity, last night's state is hard to find, it should be regarded as a kind of enlightenment realm, and if you want to enter it again, it is a pity! It's a pity!"
Shaking his head again and again, Bai Ye said in his heart that it was a pity, but he was helpless, this was a matter of chance, and he couldn't cultivate it, so he could only rely on luck.
However, after the accumulation of starlight this night, Bai Ye found that most of the mana in his sea knowledge dantian had been stored.
Before this mission, he had just advanced to the second layer of qi refining, and the mana in the dantian sea of knowledge had been refined, and there were only less than two percent left.
And this mission, the inspection of the seven countries of Qingyang River, but it took a lot of time, it has been more than four months so far, and he has not relaxed his cultivation except for the daily inspection of the white night.
In addition, in the past two months, he has obtained the crystallization of divine power, and the speed of cultivation has been greatly accelerated, and now it is not far from the consummation of the mana of the dantian.
"It seems that this mission is over, and after returning to the mountain, it is time to exchange the spiritual liquid and prepare to break through the third layer of qi refining!"
"I don't know, how much merit can be obtained from this mission, is it enough to exchange for enough spiritual liquid?"
In the dark night before dawn, the white night lies on the light boat, listening to the waves in my ears, looking up at the darkness of the sky, and my thoughts are flying.
Gradually, there is a red glow and golden light in the depths of the sea, which is blurred in the clouds and mist on the sea, golden and brilliant, like a fairyland!
Bai Ye knows that this is the rising sun and the great sun will rise. He immediately suppressed all his thoughts, sat cross-legged on the light boat, and watched the sunrise over the East China Sea.
At this moment, on the shore, in the sea, and in the air, there were also many monks and mortals, all of whom were holding their breath and concentrating, quietly waiting and watching.
The red glow and golden light are getting wider and wider, and purple qi is gradually diffusing and emerging in it. It is the sunrise sun, shining on the clouds and mist, formed by the continuous refraction and divergence of the clouds, which is a very thin sun essence after decomposition, and can also be absorbed and refined by low-level monks.
Bai Ye immediately urged the natal bronze mirror to rip off a wisp of refining from the purple qi in the sky to enhance the mana.
The daily morning sun purple qi has always been a 'feast' that many low-level cultivators must not miss, and Bai Ye has never missed a single time in this mission.
And at this moment, on the shore, in the air, and on the sea, there are also many monks who are swallowing purple qi.
Especially in the sea, when the waves are rippling, you can see groups of fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs, floating on the surface of the sea, breathing in and out of the purple breath of the rising sun. The scene was spectacular.
In the depths of the East China Sea, at the junction of the sea and the sky, the purple qi quickly spread, spanning three thousand miles.
In the pervasive purple air, the morning sun erupted, as if jumping out of the East China Sea.
The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it!
At this moment, cheers rang out one after another on the shore and in the sea.
Bai Yepan sat on the light boat, facing the morning sun, shining with golden light, and also smiled.
While everyone was watching the sunrise and cheering, in the distance, under the morning glow and sun, in the midst of the sea fog, an island suddenly appeared.
The island looms, with plants and trees on it, animals and birds, and it seems to be full of life.
On the shore, in the sea, and in the air, bursts of exclamations immediately rang out.
That part of the sea, there was no such island, and it suddenly appeared, was it a mirage, or did a hidden secret realm suddenly appear?
In the midst of the exclamations, on the shore, on the sea, and in the air, a path of light immediately flew up and rushed towards the island that suddenly appeared.
However, no matter how fast these monks were, they were not as fast as the speed of the sea demon clan.
Halfway through their flight, in the distance, a demon clan jumped out of the sea, wanting to land on the emerging island.
As a result, the island was just an illusion, and the jumping kraken pierced through the illusion and fell into the sea, splashing a large splash.
Seeing this, many monks and krakens who rushed to that island stopped one after another and sighed each other. It turned out to be just a mirage.
The monks and krakens who had gathered dispersed one after another.
Bai Ye stood on the light boat at this time, looking at the island that appeared in the distance, the natal bronze mirror in the Zhihai Dantian was rotating rapidly, and the two forbidden laws of the 'Kunlun Mirror' on it were like two swimming dragons, swimming rapidly.
The mirage of the illusory island seemed more real to his eyes.
He could almost smell the fragrance of the earth, the freshness of the plants, and the neighing of birds and beasts.
It's so real, it's palpable, as if it's just a film that isn't tight, and he can't believe it's just a mirage!
"Maybe that's true, it's just hidden by space, forming an illusion?"
Bai Ye felt the two 'Kunlun Mirrors' forbidden laws on the natal bronze mirror, and suddenly thought in his heart.
Just as he hesitated to step forward, the island suddenly became more illusory, more and more hazy, and gradually disappeared.
And at the moment when the island was about to disappear, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the island, blowing away the dense branches and leaves, revealing a corner of the eaves!
"There's someone on the island!" Bai Ye was startled and wanted to take a closer look, but the island had completely disappeared.
He took the initiative to urge the 'Kunlun Mirror' legal ban, but it was difficult to find the slightest trace of the island, so he had no choice but to give up. It seems that even if that island is not a mirage, but a secret realm hidden in space, it is difficult to do anything with his current cultivation and the two 'Kunlun Mirrors' legal prohibition.
Or wait for his cultivation to improve, the natal bronze mirror to advance, and he can better grasp the power of space, if this 'secret island' has not been discovered, let's take a look.
Sighing softly in his heart, the pleasure of the tour was over, and the white night would not stay longer, and as soon as the light boat turned back to the city, he was ready to visit the city of cultivators.
On the second day, Bai Ye and the other five disciples gathered in the city and handed over the task to Elder Luo.
Bai Ye also returned the Jindan puppet to Elder Luo.
When the other four disciples saw this, their faces had different colors, but with Elder Luo there, no one said anything.
Then everyone took the flying boat back to the southern mountain gate, and Elder Luo left alone.
"This junior brother ......" Bai Yefang was about to leave, but he was suddenly stopped by someone.
It was one of the four people who were doing the same task, dressed in a golden robe, and he looked quite round, stopped in front of Bai Ye and saluted, and said with a smile on his face: "Senior brother, my name is Shen San, I don't know what to call my junior brother?"
Bai Ye looked at the other party, saluted back, and said, "Senior Brother Bai Ye has seen Senior Brother Shen. ”
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Bai. Shen San asked with a smile, "I don't know what the relationship between Senior Brother Bai and Elder Luo is?"
Hearing Shen San's inquiry, the other disciples who were about to leave couldn't help but stop and look this way.
Bai Ye smiled, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. ”
"Oh, I don't know what puppet ...... just now," the other party asked suspiciously, obviously unconvinced.
"That's because I encountered an inexplicable attack on this mission, and Elder Luo borrowed a puppet to protect me. Bai Ye said.
"Attack?" Shen San frowned, his face still suspicious.
The rest of the people also didn't believe it, everyone participated in this mission, they traveled all the way without wind and waves, how could there be any attacks and killings?
Besides, this is the realm controlled by the sect, who else dares to attack and kill the disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect here?
Bai Ye didn't care whether they believed it or not, greeted each other and left.
