The old Taoist was reluctant to see him for the last time, and Xuankong himself was also a resolute person, since he had made up his mind to make some achievements at the foot of the mountain to please the old Taoist, he would naturally not stay any longer.

followed Wang Qi, who was full of joy, and walked down the mountain.

Wang Qi of Benli planned to beg Xuankong to take him back to Beihai with the technique of resisting the wind, but Xuankong wanted to see the customs along the way, so he persuaded him to go for a while before using the spell. Although Wang Qi has only been on Laoshan for a few months, he has walked all the way from Beihai to Laoshan for more than a year.

Although the feeling of missing his hometown is heavy, he rarely mentioned interest in looking at the depressed Xuankong, so he didn't say much.

Anyway, it's just a few more months to walk around, and I don't care about this time after being away from home for several years.

With money in hand, Xuankong hired a carriage in the town under Laoshan Mountain, he didn't know the price of the mortal world, and the horseman who drove the car also intended to kill him, and asked for a sky-high price of five hundred taels of silver before he was willing to send them to Ninghai County.

Anyway, the money in Xuankong's hand was easy to come by, and he didn't bargain, so he took a five hundred from the pile of silver tickets that robbed Deng Ion and handed it over. Seeing that the guests were generous, the groom who drove the car waited for the two to get into the car with a smiling face, and set off on the road with a whip.

"Senior brother, you shouldn't have promised him that you would allow him to carry other guests on the way. ”

Waiting for the carriage to start, Wang Qicai whispered to Xuankong in the carriage. Xuankong frowned: "Didn't you say that this is the market?" He also inquired around the town, and said that this groom was the most honest.

Wang Qi didn't know how much he had experienced on the way to Laoshan, and pouted: "Those townspeople are his fellow villagers, of course they help him speak." Five hundred taels of silver to go to Beihai was very expensive, and he was not satisfied with wanting to carry other passengers on the way. ”

Five hundred taels of silver, exchanged for copper coins, can bury this carriage, enough for ordinary people's expenses for a lifetime.

But the groom was still not greedy enough.

"Forget it, leave him alone. Xuankong was in a bad mood and waved his hand to skip the matter. The silver was all obtained by Xuankong robbing the Dengion, and Wang Qi didn't want to say anything, so he changed the topic: "Senior brother, looking at your appearance, you seem to be very familiar with our Beihai." ”

Xuankong smiled: "Beihai, I've been there before, but I'm not too familiar with it. ”

Wang Qiqi said: "Then why does the senior brother always put on a thoughtful expression when I mention the coast of the North Sea?"

Xuankong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even notice: "Is there it?" Seeing Wang Qi's affirmative nod, Xuankong smiled and said, "Anyway, the road is still very long, let's tell you a story." He organized words in his heart and asked, "Your family has lived on the coast of the North Sea for a long time, I don't know if you have heard of Rakshasa Sea City?"

This was originally Xuankong remembered Pu Songling's description, and he specially went to see it against the wind, he didn't think that Wang Qi would know about this kind of immortal place.

Who knew that Wang Qi was yearning and said: "It turns out that the senior brother also knows about the Rakshasa Sea City. ”

Xuankong was surprised: "Do you really know about Rakshasa Haishi?" He originally intended to show himself in front of Wang Qi, but unexpectedly, Wang Qi also knew about the place of Rakshasa Haishi, but he pretended not to believe it, and said: "You come and see, the Rakshasa Haishi you know is not the place I want to talk about." ”

Wang Qi saw that the senior brother was surprised, and he was very proud in his heart, and said: "In our Ninghai County, there was originally a person named Ma Ji, who was suave when he was young, and there were also famous figures in our county at that time. ”

Xuankong let out an "oops" and clapped his hands and said, "It turns out that Ma Ji is your fellow countryman!"

He couldn't remember whether Pu Songling wrote where Ma Ji was from, but he was still very familiar with this name. Wang Qi smiled strangely: "That Rakshasa Sea City is quite strange, I have also seen Ma Ji, he is very handsome, but in Rakshasa Sea City, some people think he is ugly, and they think he is a monster." ”

Xuankong smiled and waited for Wang Qi to continue the story.

It is nothing more than Ma Ji went to sea to do business, encountered wind and waves at sea, and as a result, the ship capsized and drifted to a place where ugliness is beauty and beauty is ugliness. Wang Qi said with a smile: "It's not strange for you to say it's strange, it's obvious that those people in the Rakshasa Sea Market are ugly and scary, but they treat Ma Ji as a monster." ”

Xuankong laughed "haha" and said, "That Ma Ji is good luck!"

Wang Qi turned his head and asked, "Why do you say that he is lucky?"

Xuankong asked Wang Qi: "You have come to Laoshan Mountain, have you ever seen demons and monsters?" Wang Qi shook his head, he had only been on the mountain for about two months, and he had really never seen other monsters except for the beautiful Yunluo County Lord who was like a fairy in the Moon Palace.

Xuankong smiled: "However, Ma Ji has seen monsters, and there are many monsters!"

Wang Qi was shocked in his heart, as if he had thought of something, and said in shock: "You mean, all the monsters that Ma Ji saw in the Rakshasa Sea Market?" Xuankong nodded and said: "It's a monster, but it's not that there are no people in the Rakshasa Sea Market, it's just that the people who can go there are also immortals, not what Ma Ji can see in the market." ”

Wang Qi was speechless and said, "My mother, there are so many monsters, but you didn't eat Ma Ji?"

Xuankong explained: "The monsters in Rakshasa Sea City don't know that they are monsters at all, their true appearances are different, and they have different expressions after their transformation, and the education they have received also tells them that they are human, so they think that Ma Ji's image is strange and they think they are monsters." ”

Wang Qi's eyes widened: "There are still people who educate monsters?"

Xuankong said as a matter of course: "In this world, not only humans have formed countries, but there are also many countries composed of monsters. Of course Wang Qi didn't believe it: "Monsters can also form a country?" Xuankong said: "Do you know that the emperor of the previous dynasty had a monk and royal brother?"

Wang Qi nodded and said: "That's the Emperor Zhenguan of the Great Tang Dynasty, you are talking about the Tang monk Tang Sanzang who learned scriptures from the Western Heavens." ”

Xuankong said: "It's this Tang Sanzang, there is indeed this person, he was named the Buddha of Zhantan Merit after learning the scriptures, and he was also ranked as the Buddha of the West Heaven." Wang Qi said to himself: "I thought it was a mythical story written by the ancients." ”

Xuankong shook his head and said: "You yourself have entered our Laoshan Sect cultivation path, and you will also have the future of becoming an immortal in the future. He added: "On the way to learn the scriptures of Tang Sanzang, I met a place called the Lion Camel Country, which was full of subjects made by monsters. And Rakshasa Sea City is almost such a place. ”

That's why he thinks that Ma Ji is really lucky, not everyone has the luck to roll in the monster pile and still come out.

Wang Qidao: "Is there really such a country?"

Xuankong said: "The Lion Camel Country is counted as one, the Rakshasa Sea City is counted as one, and it is said that there are such countries in other places." Wang Qi suddenly smiled narrowly: "Senior brother, it sounds like you are very familiar with the Rakshasa Sea City." Xuankong looked out the window and didn't want to say more: "I've been there before, and the monsters and people there are not much different from people." ”

Compared to the Lion Camel Country, which uses humans as food, the Rakshasa Sea City Monsters that cultivate or operate by themselves are much kinder.
