Chapter 2 Outlying Islands

There are many overseas islands, and as early as ancient times, some people set out from Shenzhou to go overseas to find the legendary elixir of immortality, and find a glimmer of immortality.

The sea is vast, cloudy and full of mystery. Among them, the five immortal mountains in the east of the Bohai Sea are the most popular in the world, and the five immortal mountains are actually five isolated islands in the sea, which are called: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, Penglai. Legend has it that each sacred mountain is 30,000 miles high, and there is a distance of 70,000 miles between the mountains, and there are palaces made of gold in the mountains, and jade carved railings, where the gods are at ease. The sacred mountains are carried by giant tortoises to prevent them from wandering around. However, a giant fishing in the giant country "Longbo Country" caught a few large sea turtles by mistake, but he didn't know that those turtles were the turtles carrying the fairy island, and in the end, Dai Yu and Yuan Qiao were not heard from. There are countless stories about overseas fairy mountains, almost into nonsense, but occasionally fishermen who go to sea and lose their course, in the east of the Bohai Sea clouds and mist to see three giant mountains, the lonely mountain towering irrelevant, so for a long time fishermen only said "seafarers talk about Yingzhou, the smoke and waves are faint and difficult to find".

Legend has it that after Nuwa mended the sky, the northwest direction was slightly tilted, and the rivers and rivers on the earth converged to the southeast, and over time there was this vast Bohai Sea. In the east of the Bohai Sea, there is a bottomless abyss, called "Guixu", where all the water of rivers and lakes converges, and the water flowing to "Guixu" does not increase or decrease, and the circulation continues.

The rain from heaven and the rivers of the earth came from all directions and converged in the Bohai Sea. On this day, the blue sky is vast, the sand gulls are gathered, and the extreme east of the Bohai Sea forms a huge swirling nest center with the flow of sea water. Looking down at the sea surface, you will be surprised to find that the spiral nest goes straight to the bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea is unfathomable, but it is visible to the naked eye, the light is excellent, the sea water in a radius of 100 miles with the swirl nest as the center does not invade, and the bottom of the sea goes straight to the sea surface, as if there is a great force to block the sea water. The seabed is composed of sand and stones, there is an occasional breeze blowing, there is a stone tablet standing in a remote corner, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and the two big characters "return to the ruins" are engraved vigorously and powerfully.

"Knock...... Knock ......" There was an earthquake-like knocking sound at the ruins, and the sound stopped beside the stone monument. "Little turtle, it's our turn to go to sea today, when the big turtle and the second turtle can go out with us, how good it would be!" A childish voice sounded from the back of the huge turtle, yes, this scene is breathtaking, but see a huge turtle, prostrate here, the turtle shell on its back is dozens of miles wide, and the turtle carries a mountain peak about a thousand feet high on its back, even if it is here, it will sigh to itself.

"Uncle Hou, hurry up and tell the little turtle to set off, if it's late, there will be less time outside this day." I saw a ten-year-old child, with bright eyes and bright teeth, dressed in cloth, and barefoot, shouting to the cave in the mountain.

"Turtle, the hour has come, let's go" There was a sound from the cave, not in a hurry, and in peace.

The giant tortoise swam in the sea, its figure and the bottom of the sea stood vertically, sliding above the sea, and half a cup of tea reached the surface of the sea. Strange to say, the mountain peaks on the back of the turtle as a whole are constantly changing direction with the giant tortoise, but everything on the mountain is not disturbed by the outside world.

"Oh...... "At this moment, the child stood on the top of the mountain, very excited, running around, so unhappy.

"Stinky boy, be quiet, every time you go out, you always embarrass my old marquis when you go back, how can you be so small......!" I drank too much honey wine last night, and I'm so tired today. A black robe came into his eyes.

"Uncle Hou, where are you going to play today? The child jumped up and down to Lao Hou's side.

“...... A big bird that becomes a small fish?...... You're talking about Kunpeng, that guy has a bad temper and is sick, so it's better not to provoke him. Lao Hou scratched his face and laughed.

"That's true, tsk...... Uncle Long is right, Uncle Hou, are you afraid of that one named Kunpeng?" the little guy shook his head, with an expression of sudden realization.

"Well, I'm afraid of him, I'm not familiar with him, if any sparrow flies too much and thinks of becoming a fish in the water, he's an outlier, if he dares to provoke me, if he doesn't beat him full of peach blossoms, he won't know why the flowers are so red!"

"Ah ......" In a certain sea area on the edge of the Bohai Sea, a column of water rushed out of the sea and reached the surface of the sea for nine days.

“...... I'm just talking, how good our relationship is, but we haven't visited for many years, and he has no fixed residence, so let's meet again in the future. The old marquis looked at the distant column of water, and his heart was sad.

"I ask you, ten years have passed, I didn't know a word at first, but now I know everything, have you ever understood that scripture?"

"Uncle Hou, I don't like that scripture, every word is so jerky, I look at the books in your cave every day, the strange things there are so interesting, and the scriptures are only a glance or two when they are tired and boring. Yan'er put her arms behind her back, bowed her head and whispered, not daring to look directly at Lao Hou.

"I also don't understand, although this scripture is obscure, but diligent cultivation is enough to reach the period of asking the question, but now that you have heard the Tao, I know that you have studied hard day and night, and the things given to you will be completed, and there is no need to find some reason to pretend to excuse yourself. Lao Hou comforted.

"Uncle Hou, Yan'er is stupid, he has memorized the scriptures when he was seven years old, but he hasn't gone further for three years, I can't understand it, I'm mediocre, so forget it?"

For some reason, Lao Hou suddenly said angrily: "Shut up, Hugh Ti is very stupid, the livestock in the world are inferior to the human race, a hundred times worse than you, they are enlightened day and night, work hard, and one day they will not be separated from the immortals? Don't let your ignorance and cowardice blind your heart, cultivation is lonely and difficult, never desire to gain the pity of others, this world is the law of the jungle." Lao Hou stroked the head of the martyr, and said slowly: "I am just entrusted by the master to let you understand this scripture, I look at this Buddhist scripture and get irritable, don't you learn, and learn the Taoist immortal method with me, wouldn't you be at ease!"

"No, I want to learn this Buddhist scripture, Uncle Hou, I must learn it, I can't let that grandfather down! Yan'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, blushed and said.

"Grandpa? Lao Hou scratched his head and smiled, "The stinky boy is ambitious, how can I be ashamed of the doll raised by Lao Hou, so even if you leave Penglai, I will be relieved." ”

"Uncle Hou, do you want to drive Yan'er away? Yin'er is stupid but obedient, don't drive Yan'er away" Yan'er grabbed the old Hou's robe and begged bitterly.

"Last night, your 'grandfather' came these words in this mirror, let me advise you to behave yourself, I have discussed with you Longbo and Niu Bo, Penglai Xiandao will wander in the Bohai Sea for three days, and after three days, it will be the time for you to leave. ”

Hou Bo took out a simple bronze mirror, and on the mirror, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with a few lines of words: "Dade is practiced in mortal dust, and the immortal road begins in Hongchen." "The master is saying that the Tao you want to cultivate is in the mortal world, and only by going through the red dust can you become an immortal. Over the years, you have drunk rootless fairy dew on this Penglai Island, and eaten a century-old fairy fruit, and the body has already been tempered by this heaven and earth, and the dirt in the body is gone, and it is also a jade in the world. Lao Hou was moved by emotion in the face of the sad mourner, so he said a few more words.

"Uncle Hou, what you said is that Yan'er understands part of it, and Yan'er will work hard to cultivate, as for what grandpa said, Yan'er doesn't understand, Yan'er just wants to know if she can see you again in the future. The little baby's cheeks were rosy, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Well, you and I have not finished our fate, he will be able to meet one day, but I hope that at that time, I will not lose the face of the Three Immortal Islands of Guiru, as for the Hongchen experience, the master should let you visit the land of Shenzhou, experience the mortal world, and visit the road of enlightenment here." Lao Hou said to Yan'er earnestly.

"Visiting China...... Yan'er understands, the world is so big, I want to see more, smell more, and experience the suffering of the world, yes or no?" said Yin'er with her left index finger nudging her lower lip and thinking about it.

Seeing that Xiaowa gradually understood what he said, Lao Hou did not speak, turned around and walked into the cave. In less than a moment, he returned to Yan'er's side, holding a package in his hand. "The things in this are given by my old marquis, although they are not valuable, but they can also be left in thought, open them and take a look. ”

Yan'er took the package and opened it, and it was indeed some gadgets: a wooden waist card, a disc made of stone, not stone, gold and gold, and a necklace composed of emerald green jade agate. "Uncle Hou, I've been tired of playing with these toys since I was a child, so I'll leave them for you as a souvenir, you can think of them when you see them. Xiaowa said seriously to Lao Hou.

Lao Hou suddenly had several black lines on his face, thinking that any of these things can make a lot of waves when they are put in the cultivation world, how can they be things? The word 'Ji' is your surname, and there is a drop of my essence and blood in the disc, both of which are witnesses to the future meeting, and cannot be lost, as for this chain, it is with you day and night, and you are full of anger and offerings, and it is one with you, and it can be used as a mustard seed space on weekdays, and even Mount Meru can hold it, and it can be isolated from the breath and from people's eyes and ears at the moment of life, and these treasures must not be known to others! As for that scripture, you have memorized it in your heart, and I will burn it. "One scroll in one hand burned to ashes in this rootless fire.

Ji Yan's heart moved, the waist card and the disc entered the necklace, put the necklace around his neck and hid it under his clothes, and patted his chest with two small hands before he put his mind at ease.

Seeing that he was cautious, Lao Hou didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the cave, and with a light gesture with one hand, he motioned to Ji Yan to follow, "There can be no means of harming people, but the method of preventing people is indispensable. ”

......

Time flies, and three days come to an end in a blink of an eye.

"Martyr, the stealth decision has been mastered, after leaving Penglai, everything depends on personal creation, you must know that you can do things without violating your heart, and finally ask you, if the stealth decision can't solve the immediate crisis, how can you be good?"

Lao Hou's face was full of hope, wouldn't such a simple answer be ready to come out?

"Uncle Hou, don't worry, I must not embarrass the three uncles, I will fight with them!" Xiaowa clenched her right hand into a fist and nodded solemnly.

There was a muffled sound, "You can't teach your son, run! You can't beat it, you can't run! Our brothers are all good runners, how can we teach you such an elm head, do you understand?" Lao Hou pressed on the little baby's head with one hand, and had already scratched a mountain rock with the other.

"Ahh......h , run, if you can't beat it, you can run ......"

Ji Yan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands......
