229 The Four Seas, the Eight Desolations, and the Ten Pure Lands
Gorgeous horse-drawn carriages gallop along the spacious official road.
Lu Ye sat in the carriage, opposite a middle-aged man in an official uniform.
The man glanced at Lu Ye from time to time, and when he saw Lu Ye, he would show a friendly smile.
"Brother Liang, please forgive me for being ignorant, why can't you teleport in this land of Haibei?
The middle-aged man, who was summoned by the young man on the boat with a conch, claimed to be Liang Yi, and was the border city guard of this seaside city.
"The land of Haibei has been the same since ancient times. Liang Yidao, "What is the specific reason, I'm afraid no one can answer you." Since the beginning of historical records, the land of Haibei has been like this. β
"It's strange. Lu Ye said, "In the cultivation realm, I have also seen places where cultivation is suppressed, but it is not like this...... It's excessive. β
"Xiuzhen Realm...... Here, we call it the Southern Regions. Liang Yidao, "In recent years, Brother Liang is the second person to come to my northern region. β
"The second?" Lu Ye frowned slightly, "The first person, who is it?"
Liang Yidao, "About 100 years ago, a young girl also came here. She claimed to be named Lu Luomei. β
Lu Ye chuckled in his heart.
"Brother Lu knows?" Liang Yi observed his words, although Lu Ye tried his best not to show any expression, but Liang Ye was still aware of it.
Lu Ye smiled bitterly, did not answer Liang Yi's question, and asked rhetorically, "What is she doing here?"
"I didn't do anything. Liang Yidao, "People from the Southern Regions rarely come here, so I was still very surprised to see her at that time." I wanted to welcome him into the city and inquire about the news of the previous monarch Hai Wubo. However, she turned around and walked away. β
"Gone?"
"Leaving the land of the north of the sea. Liang Yidao. "It's a strange woman. β
Lu Ye laughed dryly, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and asked casually, "How long will it take?"
"Soon. Liang Yi said, "It's only half an hour's journey." Liang Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Lu, I don't know why there is a royal decree of my Haibei Monarch in your hands? β
Lu Ye naturally understood what he meant to inquire about Hai Wubo's news. However, he didn't know much about this Haibei land, and he didn't have a score in his heart about the strange situation of suppressing cultivation here, so he never told the truth.
Lu Ye could feel that the suppression of cultivation here was extremely strange, and he expected that he, a Mahayana master, would probably only be able to exert Jindan-level spiritual power hereβand he couldn't fly with a sword.
Even, until now, Lu Ye regretted it a little.
In the case of unknown circumstances, I really shouldn't have taken out the royal decree easily - but when I think about it, I don't think I can blame myself entirely. After all, when Tiannan handed over this shell to himself, he didn't say what kind of "king's order" this thing was.
After a little hesitation, Lu Ye said, "Brother Liang, I don't know who the current king is?"
Liang Yi looked at Lu Ye's eyes and said with a smile, "The current king is the sister of the former king Hai Wubo, Hai Wusheng. β
"Seriously, I'm quite interested in the history of this Haibei land, I wonder if Brother Liang can introduce it a little?" Lu Ye said these words that were not salty or light, his thoughts were racing, and he smiled again, "I made a bet with Nahai Wubo and won this shell." He said that with this thing, I can enjoy good treatment in the land of Haibei. Well, I'm idle, so I'm here. β
Tourism?
Liang is also a little unfamiliar with this word. But I think it should be the dialect of the Southern Regions, and he can understand the meaning. Looking at Lu Ye, Liang Yi smiled meaningfully, "Brother Lu is so Yaxing." The king is right, with this thing, you can indeed enjoy it here. β
Lu Ye could see that Liang Yi didn't believe his words, but he didn't continue to ask. Instead, at Lu Ye's request, he began to tell the history of this land in the north of the sea.
According to rumors in wild history, it is said that the people of Haibei originally lived in the southern regions, but later because of natural disasters, they crossed the cape of the sea and crossed the void and came here.
It is also rumored that the land north of the sea is a continent floating in the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants of it originally lived at the bottom of the ocean.
But these are all wild histories passed down by word of mouth, and they can't be done accurately.
The official history of the land of Haibei originates from the First Period.
At that time, the entire land of Haibei was occupied by wild beasts, and in the sea, evil beasts were everywhere, and human beings were in a weak position.
At the end of the First Age, it is rumored that a rain of fire fell from the sky, and a meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the primeval abyss. At the beginning of the Second Age, mankind stepped onto the stage of history. Between the major tribes, conquest and killing began. Powerful kingdoms followed. The third age, the art of cultivation, has been passed down to the world. Because of the strength of the practitioners, the wars between kingdoms intensified. At the end of the Third Period, King Luo swept through the 27 countries, unified Haibei, established the Haibei Dynasty, and the Quaternary Period began.
Today, the Haibei Dynasty has been passed down for 335 generations.
Lu Ye sighed a little and said, "Cultivators live a long life, even if there are some accidents, they live longer than ordinary people. It is really rare to be able to pass on more than 300 generations without any changes. β
Liang Yigan laughed and said, "It's really rare." He coughed dryly again and said, "By the way, Brother Lu, I am Wang Hai Wubo first, and I am in the Southern Regions, but are you okay?"
"It's good. Lu Ye said, "He's a powerful person." Speaking of which, haven't any of you ever gone to the Southern Regions to look for him?"
Liang Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Lu came to us for the first time, so I didn't know it. This land of the north of the sea is easy to get in, and it is easy to get out...... But it's hard. β
Lu Ye was stunned, "What's the hard way?"
"Heh, didn't Brother Lu notice?" Liang Yidao, "After you came in, did you ever turn back?"
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, and his face changed. He suddenly remembered that after he stepped into this land of the north of the sea, there was only a sea behind him, and there was no place of nothingness.
However, he was not very worried.
Since Hai Wubo can go out, since Lu Luomei can go back, he can naturally go back.
Smiling, Lu Ye said, "Brother Liang probably knows the way, right?"
"That's right. Liang Yidao, "Brother Lu has just arrived, and he is here to play, so don't you rush back?"
"Not in a hurry. β
"Then we will last a few more days on our border city, although there are often wars in my border city, the scenery is still excellent. β
"Isn't this land of Haibei unified by that Luo King?"
"The war comes from the sea. Liang Yidao, "After more than a month, when the monsoon comes, it will bring bloody wind and rain on the sea." β
Lu Ye asked carefully, only to understand that on this continent, although it is peaceful, but in a year, there will always be two monsoons, when the monsoon comes, above the sea, there will be an army of sea beasts, these sea beasts are extremely ferocious, and they are not afraid of spiritual power. Once landed, all living beings will be eaten.
The Haibei Dynasty also organized several large-scale active attacks, however, each time, the expeditionary army failed to return a single living person, and even the dead body was never seen.
Liang Yi said, inevitably a little sad. Because just over 200 years ago, his father participated in the last expedition and never came back.
It is precisely because of this that Liang Yi hates the fierce beasts of the sea more than the ordinary people in the land of Haibei, so after cultivating to Jindan, he gave up the idle errand of the Sea King's Palace and invited himself to sit in the border city to resist the invasion of sea beasts.
However, what makes the people of Haibei suffer the most is that every year, the sea beast will come twice, and each time, countless creatures will be killed and injured. But I don't know anything about the sea beasts and the people of Haibei.
chatted all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the border city.
Before Lu Ye got off the carriage, he felt a strong killing aura.
"Brother Lu, please. Liang Yi took the lead in getting out of the car and politely opened the curtain for Lu Ye.
Lu Ye thanked him, got out of the carriage, and what caught his eye was a high city full of holes and majesty.
The gate of the city gate was wide open, and a group of soldiers, lined up on both sides, knelt down and saluted Liang Yi.
Liang also made a gesture of please, and Lu Ye followed him all the way.
The huge city is extremely deserted inside.
On the streets on both sides, there is not even a single shop. There are only a few vendors who carry burdens or set up stalls on board carts.
The road underfoot is paved with bluestone slabs. The slate is extremely hard, but there are always breaks.
Lu Ye took two steps and suddenly stopped. He crouched down and reached out to touch the three grooves in a bluestone slab. The grooves are deep and look like they have been scratched out by sharp claws. It seems that a long time has passed, but Lu Ye can still feel the faint power above this groove.
Lu Zhi was worried in his heart. He found that even if his cultivation was not suppressed, he might still be shocked by this groove. Taking a closer look at the material of this bluestone slab, Lu Ye sighed in his heart.
Tiangang Stone.
The hardest stone in the cultivation realm has always been the best material for building a sword stele, and the average small sect, if there is no master, it doesn't even have the ability to carve Tiangang stone!
Therefore, the sword monument built by Tiangang stone is a symbol of strength.
"It was caused by an invasion of sea beasts more than fifty years ago. Liang Yi sighed, "When I first came here, I didn't have enough defense experience, so the sea beast entered the city ......."
Lu Ye stood up, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
Being able to grasp such a deep groove on the Tiangang Stone is enough to show that those so-called sea beasts at least have the strength of Jin Dan or above!
"When did these sea beasts start landing?"
"It was probably not long after the start of the Quaternary Period. β
Lu Ye answered, and followed Liang Yi to continue walking forward unhurriedly.
The two of them could have ridden in a carriage.
However, Lu Ye prefers to feel this city that has gone through all the vicissitudes of life.
For this land of Haibei, when he didn't come, Lu Ye was a little curious in his heart, but after coming here, this curiosity became more and more intense.
What the hell are those sea beasts?
Why did Lu Luomei leave after coming here?
She is an immortal venerable and strong, will she also be suppressed by her cultivation here?
When mentioning the Haibei Dynasty before, Liang Yi's expression was a little strange. Is there something wrong with this dynasty after all? Although the current king is Hai Wubo's sister, what is his relationship with Hai Wubo? Will he be willing to save Hai Wubo?
In the face of royal power, how much family affection is left?
Lu Ye sighed unconsciously.
I thought that after coming here, I would be able to hand over Hai Wubo to her relatives.
It seems that things are not so simple anymore.
Liang Yi took Lu Ye all the way to the General's Mansion and arranged a banquet.
The wine is a good wine, with a strong aroma.
Lu Ye drank a little, and found that although his cultivation was high, he was a little unable to bear it.
Liang also persuaded again, but Lu Ye insisted on refusing to drink again.
Lu Ye was really worried that he might get drunk, and in this strange place, he drank directly in the dark, and I was afraid that he didn't know how he died.
Liang Yi was bold, and drank directly with a bowl. A bowl of belly, shouting happily. "Brother Lu, if you stay with us for a long time, you will know that our people from Haibei are the best wine. I don't have a day without wine. β
"I can't. Lu Ye smiled, "Born not to drink." β
Liang Yi laughed and said, "Or is it not fun?" Liang Yi clapped his hands as he spoke.
Two scantily clad young women pushed the door open.
"Brother Liang, this ......"
The two women bowed to Liang Yi.
Liang Yidao, "You two, wait for Mr. Lu well." Mr. Lu is from the Southern Regions, so I'll wait for you and let him tell you interesting things about the Southern Regions. β
Lu Ye suddenly cried and laughed, and wanted to refuse, but the two women had already sat down on both sides, snuggled up to Lu Ye, and called him "Mr. Lu".
......
The river outside the mall became the favorite place of the First Demon Venerable.
There are a lot of fish here, and the fish here are stupid, and if you catch them, you can always catch a good catch.
Shangguan Jing said, "In the future, you will fish here, and I will sell it." β
The First Demon Venerable glanced at Shangguan Jing.
"I mean to sell fish!" Shangguan Jing said.
I didn't say anything. β
"You didn't say it, but you definitely thought about it. β
"Okay. β
Shangguan Jing squatted aside, looked at the river, and said, "By the way, neighbor, you said, the one surnamed Lu, what are you doing in the land of Haibei?"
"I don't know. β
"How much do you know about the land of the north of the sea?"
The First Demon Venerable shook his head, "In the past, I wanted to ascend to the God Realm with all my minds, but I wasn't very clear about many things. However, eighty percent is the place to guess. After all, it doesn't seem like much of a person has ever been there. β
"Looks like you don't know as much as I do. Shangguan Jing said, "As far as I know, the man before the Tiannan Holy Lord came from the land of Haibei. It seems that he is still some kind of Haibei king. However, the man's cultivation was not high, and he disappeared later. So most people don't know if what he's saying is nonsense. β
The First Demon Venerable said, "Well, I guess it really exists. Who knows. Cultivators, although they are known as defying the sky, are strong. But in this world, there are always too many unknown secrets, and it is natural that some whimsical speculations are inevitable. β
Shangguan Jing said, "The Four Seas, the Eight Desolations, and the Ten Pure Lands. You say, this so-called Eight Desolations refers to the Land of the Eight Desolations?"
"Not necessarily. The First Demon Venerable said, "I heard my master say that the so-called 'Pure Land of the Four Seas, Eight Desolations and Ten Directions' existed long before the great changes in the Eight Desolations. Later, the place we called the Eight Wilderness was just borrowed from the 'Eight Wilderness' in this sentence. After a pause, the First Demon Venerable said, "I remember...... A long time ago, when I was just learning demon cultivation with my master, I often heard him say some anecdotal and interesting stories. According to legend, the cultivation realm we live in now is not the whole picture of the cultivation realm. In addition to here, there are also places such as the Four Seas, the Eight Desolations, and the Ten Pure Lands. However, they are all just rumors, and it is unknown whether these places exist or not. β
Shangguan Jing tilted his head and thought, "There is no wind and no waves, and no roots and no grass." These places can't be made up by our ancestors, right?"
The First Demon Venerable thought for a moment and said, "Well, who can tell......?" I remember...... My master said that he once met a very strange woman in the land of heaven. The woman ......"
"How?" Shangguan Jing asked.
"Forgot. β
"Huh?"
"At that time, I was still young, and what the master said was all as a story, and now, after so much time, where can I remember clearly. β
Shangguan Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Really...... Hey, it's painful to think about. β
"How?"
"I'm still thinking about taking you to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you're so stupid, you have forgotten so important things, I really can't do it. β
The First Demon Venerable said, "Is your father still alive?"
Shangguan Jing said, "Yes, they are waiting for the white-haired man to send you this black-haired man." β
The First Demon Venerable smiled and said no more.
After staring at the river for a long time, the First Demon Venerable suddenly said, "Oh, I remembered. β
Shangguan Jing, who was dozing off, trembled in fright, and squinted at the First Demon Venerable.
The First Demon Venerable said, "I remember, my master seems to have said that the woman is with the fairy child...... Some entanglements. β
Shangguan was stunned for a moment, and then ignored the First Demon Venerable, and continued to squat there, closing his eyes.
The First Demon Venerable looked at Shangguan Jing and said, "Be careful not to get planted in the river. β
"Then you're in luck. Promoted to get rich and die of his wife, men are happy. β
"The Four Great Joys, You Don't Know How to Count?"
"Isn't it the four great joys to marry another wife after you die?"
"Okay. β
......
Shopping centre.
Heart Refining Pavilion.
Chen Xia held a new set of clothes in her hand and gestured on Lin Xiaozhou.
Lin Xiaozhou raised his eyebrows, stared at Chen Xia for a long time, and said, "Senior sister, you are a good person who is pretending to be too much, right?"
"I'm a good person. Chen Xia put away her clothes and said, "It's a little bigger, I'll change it and give it to you." β
"Good people? I haven't heard of good people in the demon race. Lin Xiaozhou said.
"That's because I've been influenced by the Divine Soldiers. Chen Xia said, "Look at it, how many people in the current cultivation realm are actually demons? β
"I've long since gotten rid of the influence of the gods, and I haven't noticed that I've gotten better. β
"Because you're a little brute. Chen Xia smiled, "When I was a child, I was bullied by you a lot. Saying that, Chen Xia pushed Lin Xiaozhou, "Hurry up, enter the Heart Refining Pavilion." β
"Forget it. Lin Xiaozhou said, "I'm normal now, I don't always have to go in and suffer." β
"Prevention is better than prevention. Chen Xia said, "When my brother-in-law comes back one day, if I find that something happened to you, I can't afford it." β
Lin Xiaozhou furrowed his brows and said, "That idiot has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back? Nothing will happen, right?" Senior sister, do you know anything about the land of Haibei?"
Chen Xia shook her head, "The Four Seas, the Eight Desolations, and the Ten Pure Lands are all unknowable places. β
