Chapter 9: A Visit to the Seven Island Lords
On Mirror Lake, heavy snow falls.
Ning Wushu sat in a small boat, wrapped in a thick winter coat, and his spirit was a little sluggish, and he shrank at the stern. The boatman shook the oars and said with a smile: "This fairy, I'm afraid I'm tired of practicing, I really admire you young people, you are so powerful at a young age, and you work so hard." ”
Ning Wushu smiled and didn't speak. After leaving the cave that day, for two whole days, in addition to eating and sleeping, she was thinking about the things of the Four Seas Realm, which was a dilemma, whether it was forward or backward, it seemed to be a dead end. Fortunately, now is not the day to fight against the Fish Dragon Guard, Ning Wushu doesn't have to think about these problems alone, there are still many elders in the Spirit Mirror Gate, if you can't solve the problem, it's better to walk around and ask these elders for advice.
Just an hour ago, Ning Wushu went to Lin Wangshu and told Lin Wangshu about the Four Seas Realm. After Lin Wangshu heard this, he let out a long sigh, first sighed at Chu Fangyu's powerful spirit and whimsical thinking, and then said that no one could decide this matter for Ning Wushu, so that she could chat with the Lord of the Seven Islands and relieve her mood.
"These senior brothers and sisters of mine are all people of great wisdom, and if you have doubts in your heart, you can talk to them. They won't make decisions for you, but maybe, they will give you something to think about. ”
Thinking back to Lin Wangshu's words, Ning Wushu raised his head, and the boat had already arrived at Pear Flower Island.
Pear Blossom Island was the island that Ning Wushu went to the most except for Wanshi Island, and in the past five years, she had often come here to learn the Mo family's tricks from Fang Qing, and at the same time, because Han Luoxing was one of the few people she had the best relationship with in the Spirit Mirror Sect. When Ning Wushu came to Pear Blossom Island, Han Luoxing, who had been away for a few months, was practicing swords on the island at this time as he had been in the past five years, of course, now there were a few disciples under Fang Qing's sect who were much younger, and while Han Luoxing was practicing swords by himself, he was also instructing these juniors and sisters.
"Wushu, why are you here?" Han Luoxing said hello heartily when he saw Ning Wushu.
"Not to you. Ning Wushu asked weakly, "Is the Lord of Fang Island here?"
As soon as the words fell, she saw Fang Qing walking out of a bamboo forest, she had the same temperament as usual, and the short wooden sword was pinned to her waist, and when she saw Ning Wushu, she just nodded.
After Ning Wushu explained her intentions, Fang Qing took her for a walk on Pear Blossom Island. After a few words of greeting, Fang Qing suddenly asked, "Wushu, I heard that you saw a person named Leng Qianqiu outside this time?" I have heard of his swordsmanship, is it really as amazing as the rumors?"
Ning Wushu smiled and responded: "So that the Island Master knows that Leng Qianqiu is an orphan of Xingchen Tower, and he has a mastery of the True Immortal Dao Book Imperial Sword Technique, and he has practiced a set of Youfeng Sword Techniques to the extreme." I have seen him come out with eight swords, the swords between the eight swords are connected, none of the sword qi leaks, the eight swords are like a sword, the sword is like a dragon, and the stone is shattered. ”
Fang Qing was moved when she heard this, and said with emotion: "Imperial Sword Technique...... The True Immortal Taoist Book has set off earth-shattering waves in the world, and if you are lucky enough to see it, it is a great blessing for our generation. And Leng Qianqiu, this person, can cultivate swordsmanship to such a point, I'm afraid he is already above me, if one day we can meet with a sword, how happy it should be?"
Ning Wushu knew that Fang Qing was a sword idiot, so without hesitation, he handed over the book of sword tips that Leng Qianqiu had given her at the beginning. Fang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then there was a rare look of ecstasy in her eyes, and she didn't say anything polite, she directly reached out and took it, and immediately looked at it.
However, no matter how much a sword idiot is a sword idiot, Fang Qing will not just leave Ning Wushu here. She didn't ask Ning Wushu where she got the Imperial Sword Technique, let alone why she gave such an important secret book to herself, but just asked, "Wushu, you came here today just to give me this Imperial Sword Technique, right?"
Ning Wushu lowered his head and said, "Island Master Fang, Wushu has doubts in his heart, and I want to ask you for some advice." ”
Subsequently, Ning Wushu said the doubts he was facing in the realm of the four seas one by one. Fang Qing closed the sword trick in his hand, listened to it with a solemn expression, and after muttering for a long time, he said: "Zi Mozi said: 'If you are rich, you will be rich, if you are poor, you will be poor, if you are rich, if you are poor, if you are poor, if you are widowed, if you are in trouble, if you are in chaos, if you are in chaos, if you live in life, you will live in life, and if you are in death, if you are strong, what is the benefit?' Our Mo family advocates the theory of 'non-life', and the reason why people are different from beasts is precisely because people have strength and people can overcome the sky. Five years ago, you chose the path of the world, and five years later, you need to make your own decision. In my opinion, there is no destiny in the world, and your choices determine your future, whether you advance or retreat, and no one can give you an answer. No book, I'm sorry, I can't answer this question. ”
"Fang Qing said that there is no destiny? The Mo family just likes to flaunt that they are different. On Longshan Island, Jiang Hai, the owner of Longshan Island, laughed dryly, slapped the table heavily, shook his head and said: "Come, no book, and let me take a hexagram for you! Don't, don't tell me what you want to do, I don't need to know." ”
It is said that the environment on the periphery of the Montenegro Islands was not so complicated and weird at the earliest, and it was later that a descendant of the Yin and Yang family of the Lingjing Gate used a lot of manpower to change the trend of some reefs and mountain trees in the Montenegro Islands, thus forming such a mysterious and powerful complex situation as the moat on the periphery of the Montenegro Islands.
The Yin-Yang family has long been extinct in the world, and many of its thoughts on the five elements of Yin and Yang are also used by Taoists. Jiang Hai, as the most powerful of the Yin and Yang family heirs of this generation, is also unfathomable in cultivation. You must know that the Yin and Yang Qi Technique is the mastery of the Yin and Yang family, Jiang Hai's martial arts are definitely one of the best in the Spirit Mirror Gate, but he seems to have not shown his true ability for many years, but he divination and stargazing every day, looking like an old god.
But at this time, this old god stick was sweating profusely and looked incredible.
On the table in front of him, there were already four or five burned turtle shells, a few copper coins had been thrown by him many times, one finger was pinched quickly, Jiang Hai's eyes stared straight at Ning Wushu, but he couldn't say a word. Ning Wushu looked at Jiang Hai innocently, and he didn't dare to speak, and he couldn't help but be very nervous in his heart.
Finally, Jiang Hai let out a sigh of relief, his face fell suddenly, he waved his hand, and sighed: "It seems that my cultivation is still not enough." ”
"What's the matter, Island Master Jiang?" Hearing Jiang Hai say this, Ning Wushu's heart became even more nervous.
"Alas!" Jiang Hai stretched out his hand, stroked his beard and said, "There is no book, the hexagram that I just divined for you is all messy." Later, I tried this hexagram again, and it turned out that one moment the hexagram showed that it was born to death, and the other time it said that there was no life for ten deaths, and I took the hexagram several times, but none of them had the same result. So, without a book, I'm sorry. ”
"Senior Brother Jiang Hai divination every day, not pragmatic at all, no book, it's useless for you to look for him. The person who spoke was Bai Lixi, the owner of Dazhou Island, and in the winter, he was still wearing only a simple short dress, holding a handful of palladium in his hand, and a towel hanging on his shoulder, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Those who didn't know thought that he was a farmer who had just finished working in the field, but in fact, Baili Yao had just finished a set of self-created palladium methods, and at this time he strode towards Ning Wushu and his wife Beitang Yan.
Beitang Yan is the owner of Xiaozhou Island, and Baili Yao is a middle-aged couple, the same is the descendants of the farmers in the hundred families thousands of years ago, they worship Shennong as the ancestor, the ancestors of Shennong, advocate persuasion to cultivate mulberry, to have enough food and clothing. On the two islands of Dazhou and Xiaozhou, the couple planted all kinds of food and herbs, and it can be said that more than half of the food in the entire Lingjing Gate was contributed by the couple, and the raw materials of all kinds of elixirs in the Lingjing Gate also came from Dazhou Xiaozhou Island.
Ning Wushu used to come to these two islands to steal things to eat, and the fruits cultivated by Baili and Beitang were all superb, with excellent taste and excellent taste, Ning Wushu would come and sneak around when he had nothing to do, and the two island owners just smiled when they saw it in their eyes.
"Wushu, you know that our husband and wife are not very keen on martial arts, and among the seven islands, our husband and wife's martial arts are the weakest, so we can't answer your questions about the four lakes. Beitang Yan said softly, "But the master of the sect told us that you are going to find the legendary sweet tea fruit this time, and we can give you some help in this matter." ”
Bai Li Yao nodded and said, "Many years ago, the fruit of sweet tea appeared once on the land of Shenzhou, but because of improper cultivation methods, it only survived for less than thirty years before it withered. When we were younger, we both heard about it, so we searched for some literature research on the matter and came to a conclusion. ”
Speaking of this legendary herb, Beitang Yan was very interested, and she took her husband's words and said: "The reason why the fruit of the legendary sweet tea tree can cure all kinds of poisons is not because it has anything special in itself, it is basically the same thing as the sweet tea we usually use. It's just that because it grows in a special place above Fanghu Immortal Mountain, it can bear fruit that detoxifies all kinds of poisons. ”
"In the land of Shenzhou, there are also many medicinal herbs that can detoxify, and most of them grow near poisons. Sweet tea has the effect of detoxification, but the effect is limited, if a sweet tea tree can produce the fruit of detoxification, there must be extremely terrible poison near it, and even that poison is a strange poison that we have never seen. If you are looking for the fruit of sweet tea, then you will look for the poisonous place, and most likely you will get something. ”
In the end, Beitang Yan handed Ning Wushu a small pill and said, "This is the pill refined by Senior Sister Huang of Mengyao Fairy of Fengshen Pavilion not long ago, because there are many raw materials that we provide, so she sent us a few." This elixir cannot detoxify, but it can avoid poison, if you really encounter something strange, you can take it. ”
Although I didn't get the answer about the realm of the four seas here in Baili Yao and Beitang Yan, I got the clue of the fruit of sweet tea, but I also gained something.
As for Luyun Island, Ning Wushu only walked around, and he didn't dare to talk to Bai Zhiyi at all. Because Bai Zhiyi was too nagging, although as one of the two island owners of the Spirit Mirror Sect who had the deepest study of internal strength, Bai Zhiyi also gave Ning Wushu some theoretical suggestions, but these suggestions were still mixed in countless nonsense and chatter, and Ning Wushu's groggy mind became even heavier.
So, at nightfall, she took a small boat and floated to the island of escape.
When he saw Yun Feiyu, the island master, who could be regarded as half a master of Ning Wushu, was not studying in the pavilion where he lived as usual, but was practicing.
Yun Feiyu's superb wisdom, scholarly dress, and narcissistic personality often make people forget his strong martial arts, but in fact, the predecessors of the three pillars of the world unanimously believe that Yun Feiyu is very likely to surpass the current Lin Wangshu in martial arts and replace him as the first person in the world in martial arts in ten years.
At this time, Yun Feiyu was sitting in the open-air courtyard, and the heavy snow from the sky covered the entire Xiaoyao Island with snow white, but there was not a single trace of snow within a radius of five zhang where Yun Feiyu was sitting. Even the snowflakes that fall from the sky will melt imperceptibly when they get close to Yun Feiyu. When he meditated and exercised, he was able to reach such a point unconsciously, which shows how terrifying this person's cultivation is.
Even if Ning Wushu's internal cultivation had reached a certain level now, he still felt great pressure when he was close to Yun Feiyu. She knew that Yun Feiyu's cultivation was one of the ancestral internal skills in the Spirit Mirror Sect, the Burning Sea Heart Method, which seemed to be soft and rigid, non-yin and non-yang, was a very pure and powerful internal skill, her cultivation had not reached before, and she had no intuitive feelings, but now Ning Wushu really felt the horror of Yun Feiyu.
In terms of internal strength alone, Yun Feiyu's performance at this time is probably no weaker than Leng Qianqiu, Li Jingyu and other figures, and may even be stronger.
"You're here. Sensing Ning Wushu's arrival, Yun Feiyu opened his eyes and looked straight at Ning Wushu. At this moment, Ning Wushu actually felt that his eyes were shining and he couldn't force his gaze, but fortunately, there was only one moment, and soon Yun Feiyu stood up, and the wind and snow suddenly blew his thin single robe and fluttered.
"I know why you're here. You wait here, I have invited the teacher to come here, and we will discuss your questions. Yun Feiyu said lightly.
Ning Wushu was taken aback, now in the entire Spirit Mirror Gate, there is only one person who can be Yun Feiyu's "uncle" generation, and that is Gu Kunlun. She originally didn't want to disturb Gu Kunlun, but she didn't expect that Yun Feiyu would invite Gu Kunlun because of her own problems.
