Chapter 10: The Guide
(Recently, the interruption has become more serious, mainly because of the enterprise reform, I am now very busy commuting to and from work every day, and my emotional state is not stable enough, and I have a lot of worries, so I can only update it intermittently, forgive me.)
Because I don't know when I'll be able to write the follow-up content, I just spoiled it first, which is a little compensation. The next chapter will be very long, very long, in addition to entering Penglai Xiandao to find medicine, there are also important emotional lines and friendship lines to explain. Shen Fei and Shao Baiyu will reunite after a long absence, and fall into a deep-seated crisis, which comes from the outside and from each other. How to say it, this chapter is the most important chapter of the whole book, it is the watershed of the two protagonists, whether it is grace and righteousness, or brotherhood is as heavy as Mount Tai will be seen from now on. I definitely want to write, and I want to write coolly, and I want to write satisfactorily. Give me a little more time, the work will settle down and it will start to be stable and updated, and now it's a new place, and I can't help myself, forgive me. )
Night, Moon,
Familiar scenes, familiar nights!
At the West Coast Wharf, Shen Fei arrived quietly.
At the time of parting, the matchmaker ran out of the inn and grabbed Shen Fei's sleeve and shook her head desperately, but Shen Fei did not waver, for him, even if there was only a slight opportunity, he had to try.
A lot of things are in a wordless state, and there is no need to understand a lot of things, just move firmly towards the goal.
For Shen Fei, resurrecting Nalan Ruoxue is the only goal at the moment, compared to this goal, the battle for domination of the world, the preaching of the human kingdom, and the reunion of brothers are all dwarfed. Shen Fei must resurrect Nalan Ruoxue, and it was not until the moment the other party stepped forward that he finally realized that Nalan Ruoxue's position in his heart had long been unshakable.
Shen Fei appeared on the west bank of the dock, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the masked man was standing not far away. He was really thin and thin, and the robe on the masked man was blown up again and again under the cold night wind, and the outline of the skeleton could barely be seen.
A wooden path leads to the front, and a high pile is erected every 15 meters, and white paper lanterns are hung on it.
The light is dark, the wind is cold, and the night is cold!
With the masked man standing in the distance, it makes this place seem a little scary.
Shen Fei was not afraid, he didn't shiver a single thing under the cold wind, and his body burned with a red blood-like qi.
Shen Fei vaguely felt that the place where the masked man was going to take him should be the real main island, there was no specific reason, it was just an intuition, because of the existence of this intuition, he would only appear here tonight. Since he came here, the deal with the Pavilion Master of the Gathering Immortal Pavilion was naturally canceled, and Shen Fei made a risky attempt.
"Honored guest, you're here!" The masked man's movements were extremely elegant, and his elegance revealed evil intentions, and he always felt that under the flattering smiling mask, there was a pair of eyes that were as cold as poisonous snakes.
"I've kept you waiting!" Shen Fei walked all the way from the slope embankment to the end of the pier, and glanced at the trembling boat, "Just you and me?"
"Scared?"
"I'm just curious about how we can get to our destination safely with the huge waves that often occur at night in the East China Sea. ”
"I'm here to get there. ”
"You, why are you?"
"With the golden sign of the guide. ”
"Someone else sent you?"
The masked man didn't answer Shen Fei's question, and his laughter in the darkness coincided with the sound of the wind.
Shen Fei stared at him and asked solemnly, "Who are you!"
"Honorable guest, when you have obtained the elixir of immortality safe and sound, it is not too late to ask me about my identity. ”
"Since I don't want to say it, I won't embarrass you. ”
"Thank you for your understanding. ”
"That's the remaining half. Shen Fei took out a golden ticket of 10,000 yuan and sent it over.
The man said cheerfully: "There is something that needs to be explained in advance! I will not land on the island, and will only stay outside the island and wait for the distinguished guests for a day and a night, and when the time comes, I will sail away. ”
"You seem familiar with where we're going. ”
"Nature is familiar. ”
"Legend has it that none of the Gentiles who landed on the main island made it back alive. ”
"There are exceptions, such as Yun Lie of your faction. ”
"What the hell is hidden on the island!"
"When you get to the place, you will know everything. ”
"Let's go, then. Shen Fei and the masked man boarded the boat one after another, and the cable hanging on the shore automatically released without the need for others to control it, and the boat sailed towards the depths of the sea.
......
ocean
Vast, deep, all-encompassing, all-engulfing, all-destroying.
If you follow the waves, you can go to places you have never seen before, to places you don't know, and if you go against the waves, you will struggle to walk, and even be shattered by the waves that come in the opposite direction, and your bones will be gone.
The sea is endless, all-encompassing, and one of the most mysterious places in the world.
Standing on the sea level, you will deeply feel your own insignificance, feel your own weakness and powerlessness, feel your inner struggle, as if you are ebbing and flowing with the tide, and you can't help yourself.
A small boat sails through the dark night!
Surprisingly, where the boat passed, the waves stopped on their own and calmed back. From a distance, the waves of water between the dark world are overwhelming, one after another, but it is difficult to get close to the boat within three meters, and at that very special distance, the world seems to be alienated, as if entering a parallel space.
Shen Fei, dressed in black, stood at the stern of the boat, a masked man in a black coat and a white suit stood at the bow of the boat, and the two stood one after the other, like two eternal life lighthouses standing in the gloomy ghost domain, bringing an unshakable feeling.
After going to sea for more than half an hour, Shen Fei basically understood the masked man's method of controlling the boat. The reason is very simple, what he controls is not actually a boat, but the flow of water, and the masked man performs the water system creation technique in the Five Elements Creation Technique without sealing or holding the seal with both hands, so as to control the flow of water. You must know that even Shen Fei needs to hold the seal in one hand when he performs the Five Elements Creation Technique, and this guy wearing a mask can actually keep his hands behind and automatically let the vast sea be used for his own use, and his strength must be bottomless.
A master has an aura. When the masked man first appeared, Shen Fei felt his powerful aura, and at this moment, he was within easy reach, and he was even more aware of it. He looked at the other from behind, and saw that the masked man had a hat on the back of his head, completely covering the area where his hair was exposed, and his back was so thin that it swayed in the wind, and he couldn't see where his weapons were hidden.
Just as he was thinking about it, the cold wind suddenly pulled up, and the black and white qi slowly and leisurely rose out of the mask man's whole body. The sea breeze is cold, and the black and white qi completely ignore the wind attack, maintain a steady upward trend, and keep the boundaries between each other in the process of ascending, and when they reach the top of the head, they slowly blend into a Taiji diagram.
"Dao Sect Yin Yang Fish?" Shen Fei was full of surprise. Uncle Yun once said that a person's breath is either yin or yang, rigid or soft, and can only have two elements with similar attributes in the five elements. However, this person has yin and yang one after another, both rigid and soft, and the breath in his body is released with the vision of heaven and earth, automatically becoming yin and yang, blending with each other and repelling each other, which is enough to show that his breath has both yin and yang, and can perform yin and yang pole dao techniques at the same time.
Can anyone really have both?
Shen Fei noticed that the masked man was unusual, what he couldn't understand was why the masked man would show this difference, it was not difficult to cover his aura with the strength he showed, why did he deliberately release the yin and yang qi to show himself, and was there any deep meaning behind it?
Shen Fei held his breath and observed, and found that after the yin and yang qi bit each other and stayed on the top of the masked man's head for a while, they slowly changed their appearance and turned into some strange shape. He frowned and leaned forward to look at the figure, and was really startled when he saw the figure. He clearly saw that the strange figure was faintly like a human face.
The two qi of yin and yang turned into a human face?
What a reason!
Thousands of thoughts flashed quickly in Shen Fei's mind, but he couldn't figure it out, Shen Fei could only intuitively judge what this seemed to portend, indicating a big conspiracy that had been hidden within the Dao Sect all along.
The secrets of the earth-shattering must be pierced by someone like no other. All kinds of rumors about the main island of Penglai Immortal Island will not appear for no reason, someone must have done it on purpose! Who is controlling everything behind the scenes!
Shen Fei suddenly realized that the guide in front of him might not be just a thug controlled by others or a pawn at the mercy of others, and his identity might have a lot of background.
The vicissitudes of the sea, the guidance of fate. He guided Bai Yu to go up the mountain to learn art, and preached on the mountain for the master. encountered a great change in the human country, and thought that he was about to get away from the worldly strife and do something for his beloved, but suddenly fell into a looming conspiracy. Sure enough, fate can't be escaped, everything is secretly led by some powerful guy, and the leader will not let go of himself easily, and it is likely that everything he is experiencing now is part of his plan.
Pain, torment, suffering!
Experiencing the pain of life and death again and again, being knocked to the dust again and again, and being the master behind the scenes, I, Shen Fei, will one day find you out and let you experience the same pain as me.
When Shen Fei realized that he was once again dominated by a pair of invisible hands, he secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
I'm going against the sky!
The ordinary four words express the purpose and determination of the earth-shattering shock, and the goal that Shen Fei wants to achieve is not understandable to anyone, so there is no need to say much, just bury it deep in the bottom of his heart.
The incredible changes were still going on, the human face transformed by the two qi of yin and yang showed a cruel smile at Shen Fei in the slow evolution, as if mocking him, as if mocking him, and the two eyes on the human face became very bright and bright, bright and frightening, releasing an eerie cold light.
"Who the hell are you. Staring at those vicious eyes, Shen Fei asked without fear.
"Honorable guest, do you believe the prophecy?" the black and white breathed away, and the masked man's voice came from the wind.
"What do you mean?" Shen Fei wondered.
"You must have felt pushed by the hand of fate. ”
"......" Shen Fei looked at the other party's back seriously.
"A few years ago, the Tianlu Stone Tree appeared in Fang Qi Sacred Mountain, pointing to the imminent catastrophe of the vast land of Kyushu, which would engulf all the living beings on the ground, making the glory of thousands of years of time disappear in an instant.
In order to prevent the contents of the stone from coming true, the various sects have responded, expanding their armaments and lifting the ban, just to be able to survive and survive when the catastrophe appears. ”
"I have heard about this in Shushan, and Shen really wants to know what is written on the stone sling, which can make everyone in the sect put themselves in danger, like sitting on pins and needles. ”
The content of it is nothing more than a harbinger of the terrible catastrophe that is coming. But what is even more terrifying than the appearance of the catastrophe is the various overreactions made by the various sects in response to the catastrophe.
It was from the day the Tianlu Stone Tree appeared, the land of Kyushu lost its inherent peace forever, and the dark forbidden techniques that had been dormant for a long time and were intolerable to the world reappeared one after another, causing the world to fall into the depths of despair.
In my opinion, it is not so much that the Tianlu Stone Tree foreshadowed the occurrence of the catastrophe, but that it was the appearance of the Tianlu Stone Tree that led to the final appearance of the catastrophe. I have a hunch that darkness will soon come, and Kyushu will fall in darkness. ”
"It's not the Tianlu Stone Hammer that foreshadowed the catastrophe, but the Tianlu Stone Hammer that caused the catastrophe to finally appear?" This statement was groundbreaking, and it was the first time for Shen Fei to hear such a shocking remark, "Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you and I be the relationship between the boss and the guest?"
"The reason why I mentioned Tianlu Shizhu is because you, Shen Fei, are the person to whom the prophecy is directed. And your trip should have been doomed, but it is very likely that because of your special status, not only will you not die, but you will be able to achieve unexpected gains.
Everything is fate, knowing that fate cannot be stopped, there are always people who are willing to use their arms as a car. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say, what are you going to do!"
"The journey is boring, and when you meet someone you like, you will say a few more words. ”
"Am I the one you like? ”
"You're an interesting person. ”
"What's the fun?"
"Isn't it funny that the indifferent world has long lost its righteousness and emotion, and you regard it as life? ”
"How do you know that? ”
"There is no impermeable wall in this world. ”
"The world chooses darkness, I, Shen Fei, choose light, the world chooses ruthlessness, and I, Shen Fei, choose compassion. The choice is just different, and it's not worth making a fuss. ”
"You're an interesting guy. ”
"Compliment or disparagement?"
"Compliment. ”
"Thank you!"
"But I also want to warn you, even if you are the person who is the prophecy pointing to, this trip is still dangerous, and the legendary main island of Penglai is really a forbidden area on earth. ”
"Thank you for the reminder. ”
"You're welcome. I am the guide, and I am guiding the way of no return! When I leave, I always have to nag a few words, so that I don't blame myself too much. ”
"I chose the road myself, and even if I don't return, I won't blame you for leading the way, but because of this conversation, I have a different view of you. ”
"What a view. ”
"Suddenly I saw you a lot better. ”
"Hahaha. ”
"Hahaha!"
"When you sing about wine, life is geometric. ”
"Is there any wine?"
"You were drunk before you boarded the ship, do you still want to drink!"
"When you meet the right person, you won't get drunk no matter how much you drink. ”
"It's a pity that there is no wine here. ”
"I have. As soon as Shen Fei changed his hand, the mustard seed bag appeared in the palm of his hand.
The masked man's body trembled, obviously he didn't expect Shen Fei to be young but carry the liquor with him, "If you are drunk, it is a dead end to go to the island! For your own good, quickly put away the wine." Although he turned his back to Shen Fei, he knew everything behind him.
"When you sing about wine, isn't the geometry of life mentioned by you, why don't you take out the wine but don't drink it?"
"It's just a momentary feeling, how can you take it seriously. ”
"You really don't drink it?"
"I really don't drink it. ”
"Then don't force it. How far away is it from the destination. ”
"It's almost dawn. ”
"It's going to be that long. Luckily, you won't be bored with you. ”
"You can sit down and rest. ”
"Such a small boat, where can I rest. ”
"That's right. ”
"Who the hell are you. ”
"The guide is my name. ”
"Was it forced to lead the way, or was it intentionally led by others?"
"What do you say? ”
"I don't want to guess. ”
"Then don't guess, it doesn't matter anyway. I'm just a passerby to you, and if I say goodbye tomorrow, maybe life and death will be separated forever. ”
"You're straightforward. ”
"I never hide the dangers of the main island from my guests. ”
"Sure enough, it's a golden sign!"
"Naturally. ”
"How many people have died so far?"
"More than you think. ”
"Are they all here to find the elixir of immortality?"
"I guess so. ”
"All turned into plants?"
"In short, no people, no ghosts. ”
"It's scary. ”
"It's time to go back. ”
"There is no turning back when the bow is opened. ”
"Whatever you want. ”
"Your voice is strange. ”
"Strange. ”
"It's like a deliberate disguise. ”
"Naturally, it has to be disguised, otherwise why wear a mask. ”
"You're straightforward. ”
"It should be complimented. ”
"I always feel like it's not the first time I've met you. ”
"This is the second time. ”
"Unexpectedly, under the frightening mask, there is a pair of sharp teeth. ”
"There's a lot more to think about. ”
"Can you tell me what the portrait of Yin and Yang represents? ”
"You're so smart, you should have guessed it. ”
"What you guess may not be accurate. ”
"What others tell you may not be true. ”
Shen Fei was silent.
"Things in this world can only be sure to be true if you have experienced them yourself, and no one else can fully believe them, no matter what they say. In that case, why bother asking. ”
"What you said is not unreasonable, but Shen still wants to hear you tell the truth in person. ”
"Impossible. There's only one thing I can tell you. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"I want to tell you, Penglai and Shushan are different, you may not see a cultivator with both yin and yang in your life in Shushan, but in Penglai, the dual cultivation of yin and yang is actually not too difficult. ”
In other words, what ordinary humans can't do can be done by the people of Penglai Island, does this mean that the islanders are not ordinary humans? ”
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, you are really a smart person, I really appreciate you more and more. ”
"I'm glad to have your appreciation. Can you ask one more question? ”
"You can ask, and I can choose not to answer. ”
"I really love to chew words. ”
"You ask. ”
"I want to know which of the three clans of the Sun, Moon, and Star do you belong to. ”
"What do you think? ”
"The Japanese family?"
"You say this because you don't know what the sun, moon and stars represent. The so-called three major families of Penglai are not groundless, let alone superficial, each of them has its own meaning of existence. ”
"For example. ”
"How can the secret of guarding a thousand years be easily told to others. ”
"It's just you and me, and no one will know that you've told me your secret. ”
"You can't, you know. ”
"It's all about flexibility. ”
"You can't be flexible. ”
"Then can you tell Shen Mou, guide, which of the three major families you belong to? ”
"No, you can't. At this time, the two qi of yin and yang turned light, and the hideous human face condensed by the two qi of yin and yang glanced at Shen Fei viciously and disappeared into the void. The masked man turned to face Shen Fei, "Honorable guest, I hope my refusal didn't make you dissatisfied. ”
"How come, I have already been mentally prepared. If you want others to know who you really are, you won't hide your identity. ”
"It's best if you can understand. ”
"Actually, you don't have to ask for my forgiveness. ”
"There is a need. ”
"Whatever you want. Shen Fei took a deep breath, and when he looked at the masked man across the boat, he noticed that the aura on the other party's body was actually quite different from the first time they met, and he had doubts in his heart, and said secretly: Isn't it the same person?
Struggling to survive on the brink of life and death for many years gave Shen Fei a beast-like intuition in addition to rational thinking, allowing him to anticipate danger early. Even if there is no danger, it is possible to find things that are invisible to ordinary people.
At this moment, through this brief conversation in a short period of time, Shen Fei had a feeling in his heart that the masked man not far away might not be the same person as when they first met. This feeling is groundless, because Shen Fei not only has eyes like rulers, but also has a sensitive sense of smell like a wild wolf, and the person in front of him is the same as when they first met, whether it is height, dress, or taste. But even so, Shen Fei's subconscious was to have a trace of suspicion at a certain moment, and his keen intuition told him that the person who appeared in front of him when he met twice might not be the same person.
This idea was too unbelievable, and it didn't stay in Shen Fei's mind for too long, and then went with the wind.
The night wind is howling, the huge waves like mountains are constantly rising and beating violently, and the sea full of charm in the day looks terrifying at the moment, but only a small boat of less than three meters can pass smoothly through the sea. This scene is both amazing and full of weirdness, and you don't need to think about it to know that the two people standing on the boat are by no means idle.
A tentacle as wide as the waves showed its outline under the thunder that swept across the sky, and the tentacles were covered with flower wheel-shaped washing plates, and the suction cups contracted or expanded, as if they were breathing themselves.
The tentacles rise by the waves, breaking away from the waves and slamming towards the boat at the highest point, the water system creation technique may be able to control the direction of the current, but it can never control the ocean overlord who lives in it. The huge tentacles broke the waves, like a sharp axe that cut through the sky, not to mention a three-meter wooden boat, even the painting boat on the bank of the Fairy River would be beaten to pieces.
However, the two figures standing on the tiny boat stood still, as if such a huge creature was nothing more than ants in front of them.
What kind of strength can a man have such courage?
