Chapter 250: Boarding the ship and going to sea
There is an island near the Netherworld, and this island is called Wanghai Island, which is taken from the meaning of looking at the Netherworld. The island is also the largest in the Northern Underworld. Almost all monks who want to enter the Nethersea from the North will first reach this island, and from this island, go to the Netherworld.
Jiang Feng, who aimed at the Netherworld Sea, also came to this island. The place he was going to was the far sea of the Netherworld. It's not something you can just fly over. In order to be able to get closer to his target area, Jiang Feng felt that it was better to start from this Wanghai Island like other monks.
Wanghai Island is so large that it can be called a small piece of land. All the inhabitants of this island were monks, and there were no ordinary people living there. Because there will always be some monsters from the sea running onto the island, it is too dangerous for ordinary people to live here.
Every month, boats depart from Wanghai Island to carry monks to the Netherworld. But these ships don't sail very far, they mainly sail in the inshore waters of the Netherworld. The monks who took these ships did not want to go deep into the Netherworld, they were just going to the offshore sea to hunt the demon beasts in the sea and obtain the demon pill.
There are many sects in the Northern Underworld, and they have their own ships. These ships, as well as the monks who went to sea with them, were also an important way for these sects to obtain resources. Even though the road ahead is full of dangers, the rich profits have always pushed the monks to keep moving forward.
If you want to enter the deep sea, you can't take this kind of ship specially designed to hunt monsters. Every eighteen years, a specially built ship sails out to the open sea. If ordinary monks want to go to the open sea, they can only take such a boat, so that they can pass through a windy and rough area in the offshore sea more likely. If one does not take such a boat, then the monk can only rely on his own cultivation. This is very difficult for many monks.
At the same time, the eighteen-year period is not set by the shipwrewn itself. Usually, even if the ship is not damaged and someone pays a lot of money, it will not set sail. Because there is a very famous wind and wave area in the coastal waters of the Netherworld, this wind and wave area cuts off the road to the far sea. Every eighteen years, there is a period of relative calm. Only at this time is it the most suitable time to travel through the past. Usually I want to go there, but it's too difficult.
Although Jiang Feng was very confident that he would be able to fly to the depths of the Netherworld Sea on his own, it was the first time he had truly entered the Netherworld, and everything should be done with caution. Riding on a boat specially designed for monks is definitely a good choice. Not only can you save a lot of effort, but you can also better understand the Netherworld. What's more, the ship, which only departs once every eighteen years, happened to be caught up by Jiang Feng.
In two days, a ship will sail out to sea. You only need to pay enough spirit stones to get a position. After Jiang Feng heard the news, he immediately went to the dock to look for a boat.
There were quite a few boats parked on the docks, and there were a lot of monks flying around the docks. A short distance from the marina, there is also a large market. There were many monks gathered there. Jiang Feng thought that when he finished getting the ferry ticket, he would go there to see if there was anything good.
It was easy to find the ship that was about to sail to the open sea, and Jiang Feng also came to the side of the golden ship, in front of a makeshift cabin. Jiang Feng Zhilu said, sitting in front of the wooden house, he looked like a monk from an old farmer's house, and he must be the monk in charge of the ferry ticket.
"Fellow Daoist, is this golden ship going to the far sea?" Jiang Feng asked, pointing to the big golden ship next to him.
In front of the wooden house, the monk sat on an old wooden chair, resting with his eyes squinted. When he heard someone talking, he opened his eyes and saw that it was a monk whose cultivation fluctuated only in the Jindan stage, and this monk looked very disappointed.
"It's going to the open sea. Do you want to have a position?" said the monk in the wooden chair.
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I need a position, I don't know how many spirit stones I need for the Dao?"
The monk on the wooden chair was only then a little interested. He sat up straight as he opened a wooden box on the small table beside him where the teapot was kept. Inside the wooden box, there are small cards of different materials. These small tiles are the size of a child's palm, and some of them are made of wood, some of them are metal, and some of them are made of jade. Each card has a number written on it, presumably the number of the cabin.
"The positions on the ship are hierarchical. The higher the level, the better the position, and the more expensive it is. However, choosing a position is not as long as there are spirit stones, you can choose them casually. It's best to choose according to your own cultivation. Now tell me what kind of cultivation your elder is going to the open sea. The monk sitting on a wooden chair said.
Jiang Feng blinked his eyes and said a little depressedly: "It's not that someone else is going, it's me going." ”
"You're going, young man, don't be kidding. This ship is not going to the near sea to hunt monsters, but to take the opportunity to sail through the storm area and go to the far sea. And the ship will also make some stops in the storm zone. With your cultivation, if you go, you can only send it to death. The monk in the wooden chair said in disbelief.
"It's really me going. You just need to tell me how many spirit stones, and I won't give them to you. Jiang Feng said again. I can only blame him for his weak cultivation.
The monk on the wooden chair looked at Jiang Feng carefully, but no matter how he looked at it, Jiang Feng was just a monk in the early stage of Jindan. If such a monk wants to go to the open sea, if he has not lived enough, he must be poor and insane.
"You're going by yourself, and I don't have much to say. It's just that the position is a little tight now, and only the top position remains. It's not cheap at all. The monk on the wooden chair said.
Jiang Feng looked a little impatient, and he said, "Tell me, how many spirit stones are needed." As he spoke, Jiang Feng touched his storage bag.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones. If you have, then you can go. The monk on the wooden chair said.
In fact, there are many more positions on the ship. Ordinary positions don't require too many spirit stones. The reason why he said the price of a hundred thousand spirit stones was also the kindness of this monk. Who let Jiang Feng's cultivation fluctuate only in the early stage of Jindan. People also don't want Jiang Feng to lose his life for no reason. I want to make him retreat.
But who would have thought that 100,000 lower-grade spirit stones would not be a matter at all for Jiang Feng. As soon as the other party finished speaking, Jiang Feng took out a storage bag and threw it over. After the monk checked it, he found that there were really 100,000 yuan, and he looked a little incredulous.
"You can give me a ticket now. Jiang Feng said.
The monk took the storage bag containing the spirit stones, frowned, and said, "Are you really going......?"
Perhaps seeing that Jiang Feng looked impatient, the monk stopped saying half of what he said. He shook his head as he took a jade plaque from the wooden box on the table. Then he asked Jiang Feng's name. When he engraved Jiang Feng's name on the jade plate, the monk also looked at Jiang Feng deliberately, and it seemed that Jiang Feng's name made this person think of something else.
There is a formation on the jade plate, and Jiang Feng only needs to take the jade card to board the ship at that time. The man also specially reminded Jiang Feng that when he boarded the ship, he only recognized the jade plate, not the person, so that Jiang Feng must not lose the jade plate. Don't miss out on the time to sail either.
After taking the jade card, Jiang Feng didn't stay for a second before leaving. The monk in charge of registration kept shaking his head and sighing after Jiang Feng left. In his opinion, Jiang Feng was afraid that he would not even be able to wait to board the ship, and he would lose his life because of the jade card in his hand.
Two days later, the big ship, named Chaoyang, was about to set sail. The monks who had bought the tickets also boarded the ship one after another with the small cards in their hands. What the monk who sold the jade plate to Jiang Feng didn't expect was that Jiang Feng appeared on time and was not damaged at all. This surprised the monk.
The Chaoyang set sail. Once again, the Netherworld has welcomed a new group of explorers. How many of them survived, and would Jiang Feng be able to find where he was going smoothly?
