Chapter 1006: Black Boundary Monument, White Camel Merchant Alliance
Zhou Nan took a deep breath, and with the coldness that penetrated his heart, he pulled himself over from his memories, not daring to think about it. He was afraid www.biquge.info he was lost, he was afraid that he would blame himself, and he was afraid that he would become hesitant. He couldn't afford that kind of consequence, he had to run away.
The surface of the water is shrouded in cold fog, the color is dark blue, and the moment the snowflakes fall on the water, they melt and melt.
Zhou Nan stood on the shore and observed for a long time, frowned, and threw a stone into the water.
Visible to the naked eye, the cold air swept in, and the stone was instantly frozen up.
Zhou Nan rubbed his forehead, rushing to a trace of headache.
Such special sea areas naturally require special ships to sail on them normally.
He could have flown through the air, but that was too high-profile and inconsistent with his style, and he had to follow the customs when he entered the country.
Moreover, the cold air in the air of the cold forest in the extreme north is raging, the aura is extremely thin, and the consumption is really a little beyond its means.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Nan flipped his hand and took out a fist-sized piece of fiery red metal. After a moment of silence, he pinched the magic trick in his hand, relying on the huge strength of his body, less than half a cup of tea, and forcibly squeezed and stretched the metal into the shape of a small boat.
"Hey, it's done. ”
didn't care whether the boat looked good or not, Zhou Nan played a few tricks and threw the boat into the water.
The moment it fell into the water, the metal boat trembled slightly, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it turned into a zhang size and floated on the water.
The boat exuded bursts of hot breath, offsetting the freezing of the cold, and streams of water vapor rose up, warm and moist.
Zhou Nan's figure flashed, and he jumped off the reef on the shore and fell into the boat. Then the two sleeves of the shirt were windless and automatic, and they hit a strong wind and fell into the water behind them. With a 'bang' sound, the boat began to start and quickly moved away.
The North Cold Sea is vast, the climate is strange, the boat on it, the cold fog is scattered and gathered, ethereal and impermanent, the vision is uncertain, and the five flavors are naturally complicated. At first, Zhou Nan glanced around with great interest, but it didn't take long for it to wilt like a frosted eggplant.
On the first day, Zhou Nan advanced seven or eight thousand miles. Because of the proximity to the ice sheet, the radiation of the submarine volcanic magma is too low, and the water temperature difference is unsatisfactory, and it is rare to see any moving life. And even if there were, they were all small and speechless little shrimps.
Next, as we continued to go deeper, the figure I saw and heard gradually became larger.
Four or five days later, from time to time, accompanied by the sound of 'bang-la-la' breaking water, Zhou Nan was inevitably harassed by some strange-shaped aquatic monsters.
The milky white monster with a length of feet is extremely soft and can be twisted at will, pulling out a strange net and facing the hood. The web was covered with sticky white slime, exuding an astonishing corrosive power. When the monks of the foundation building period met, they almost died in their lives.
There is a pointed monster fish with a pair of bony wings, its body is as black as ink, and its body is covered in several layers of fine scales. Jumping out of the water, the impact is full of force. If it weren't for Zhou Nan's timely action, the improvised boat would have almost been worn into a honeycomb.
There are four pairs of sharp forefeet of the big-bellied monster fish, slightly smaller, it is simply a praying mantis its cousin, four pairs of several feet long forefoot under the rapid waving, 'whoosh', countless forest cold rays, a flash of Zhou Nan submerged in...
Although those who frequently shot were a little impatient, Zhou Nan also gained a lot of knowledge. No matter how much I think about it, it's a little abrupt. What can exist under such harsh conditions is not a normal existence in itself. It's a little weird, and it's not incomprehensible.
However, although these strange water tribes are annoying and have strange methods, their own cultivation is still too low. The highest is only a fourth-order peak existence, and before he has time to show off a few times, he was punched by Zhou Nan lightly and crushed to death on the spot.
On the seventh day, just after a thick fog that could not be dissolved, the sea in front of me suddenly became dark.
Zhou Nan frowned, raised his head in shock, and immediately opened his mouth wide.
Suddenly, dozens of miles away, a huge black monument was quietly suspended.
The black monument is thousands of zhang huge, hundreds of zhang wide, thick and abnormal, the edge is somewhat broken, lingering with dark gray lines, it looks a little vicissitudes, and it looks like it has been going on for years.
The word 'boundary monument' is written on the black monument, which is magnificent and simple.
The two words of the boundary monument face south, impartial, and the depressive feeling revealed by the blood red color makes people's breathing more depressing.
Zhou Nan quietly looked at the black monument, and his heart was a little more melancholy.
But before he could sigh for long, there was a loud sound of breaking water behind the boundary monument.
Under the splash, a three-story giant ship twenty feet tall slowly revealed its figure.
The whole ship was shaped like a whale, dark blue in color, extremely fast, mixed with the same tone of water, like a live whale. Especially the ferocious momentum when he came on, and those who didn't know the truth might really want to run away.
Zhou Nan frowned slightly, with his cultivation, he naturally wouldn't be frightened by this kind of thing, but he was a little curious, as soon as the giant ship appeared, it suddenly stopped. The bow of the ship was less than a foot away from the dividing line drawn between the north and south of the boundary marker, and it seemed that it did not dare to cross the line.
When Zhou Nan looked at the giant ship, on the deck of the giant ship, a black-robed old man with a white jade cane in his hand was also quietly watching him. The old man had three braids on his head, hanging down to his waist, his face was full of furrows, and his back was a little hunched, looking like a toiling crowd.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and the old man moved two steps forward with a white jade cane in his hand, his lips moved slightly, and the old man's voice came to Zhou Nan's ears.
"The old man and the deacon of the White Camel Business Alliance stationed in the North City Branch of the Jiebei City Alliance, it is fate to meet him, why don't you go on the boat to talk about it?"
What the old man said sounded very tongue-twisting, it was one of the three common languages of the Far North, although Zhou Nan was very unaccustomed to listening to it, but he had been prepared for a long time, so naturally he would not really understand. He smiled slightly, nodded, and took the boat and landed beside the old man.
Zhou Nan's speed was very fast, and the old man in the black robe only felt that the silver light flashed in front of him, and he was bullied to get closer, and his expression immediately changed slightly, and he laughed dryly, and then rationally changed the topic.
"This is not the place to speak, and I ask you to move with the old man. ”
Zhou Nan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, followed the old man, and entered the cabin one after another. His cultivation is profound, so naturally he will not take this monk who is only in the middle stage of the Yudan in his eyes. Therefore, between walking, I was free and easy, constantly looking at the layout of the big ship.
This big ship has three layers in the belly of the fish, and the head and tail of the fish are all integrated, and there is no name for it. I don't know what the fishtail is made of, the material is very soft, and although the boat has stopped, it is still rocking, stirring the sea.
The area of the deck is not large, the walls on the left and right sides are thick, and it is divided into three layers. The large boat is obviously capable of diving, and when entering the water, the deep shackle in the mezzanine of the ship's wall blocks the belly of the ship, thus merging into one.
There were hardly a few people on the ship, only a few monks in the foundation building period, who were doing things with their heads bored, looking lifeless.
Zhou Nan followed the black-robed old man, and from time to time came to a gorgeously equipped hall on the second floor of the big ship. waved his hand and gestured slightly to the two good-looking maids, and after serving the tea and melons, he resigned. Soon in the hall, only Zhou Nan and the others were left.
"Okay, Ge Daoyou might as well say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush. Zhou Nan played with the teacup and urged.
"Ahem, the old man knows that this little trick can't be hidden from the Taoist friend, since the Taoist friend doesn't want to waste any more time, then the old man will get straight to the point. Here's the thing, not long ago, we got a clue from our alliance and went to sea to hunt for treasure..."
The old man in the black robe spoke clearly and hierarchically, and it was very easy for Zhou Nan to understand the original situation.
"Listen to the meaning of Taoist friends, your alliance has caused a lot of trouble this time. Zhou Nan put down the teacup and said in a deep voice.
"Hey, what Daoyou said is very true, the trouble is not small. The old man didn't mean anything else when he asked Daoyou to get on the boat, as long as Daoyou was willing to help us get through this catastrophe and return to Jiebei City, the old man would be grateful. And Daoyou will also become the guest of our White Camel Business Alliance, and in the future, you can enjoy enough discounts in any city in the far north. The black-robed old man gritted his teeth and said.
"Guests of the White Camel Business Alliance, this condition sounds good. Zhou Nan nodded, and looked over with a smile, "But dare to ask Daoyou, why did you happen to find Shangzaixia? Isn't Daoyou not afraid, it happened to be sent by hostile forces?"
Hearing this, the black-robed old man was slightly stunned, and his hand on crutches couldn't help but tighten.
"Ahem, Daoyou is really stumped by the old man. The reason why I found a Taoist friend was just by chance. was forced to do it as a last resort. As for saying that the friend was sent by a hostile force, this is even more unlikely. The route of this voyage was all improvised, and no one could predict the interception in advance. ”
"I see, but Daoyou's words are not very honest!"
Zhou Nan's eyes flashed, and the expression on his face was also a little colder.
The old man in the black robe looked slightly, knowing that if he didn't tell the truth, it would be easy to steal chickens and rice, and offend Zhou Nan first. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and quickly stood up, "Senior is angry, dare to ask the senior is the ancestor of the Yuan Infant Period?"
This time, Zhou Nan was surprised, the expression on his face froze slightly for a moment, and he smiled bitterly, "How can Daoyou see it?"
"Hey, that's true. The reception was not good before, and I hope that the seniors will forgive me. The reason why the younger generation can see the cultivation of the predecessors is precisely because of this 'Ouija Plate'. ”
As he spoke, the black-robed old man flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized milky white disc.
Zhou Nan raised his hand and took the disc over.
I saw four runes engraved on the front of it, with a pointer in the middle. At this moment, the pointer was pointing at the area marked with the word Yuanying, trembling slightly. Zhou Nan played with the disc and smiled bitterly.
This Ouija Disc is not unusual, that is, it uses some special materials to detect extremely subtle breath fluctuations.
The cultivation is different, and the breath fluctuations are also very different, and it is easy to distinguish the cultivation of the detected monk.
Although he restrained the aura of his body this time, he foolishly put the black armor on his body, which was mistaken for the Yuan Infant Monk.
"It's also ingenious. Okay, if you want to negotiate terms with me, let the person who is really in charge come out. Zhou Nan threw the Ouiji Disk to the black-robed old man, and urged with some impatience.
He didn't have time to meddle in the matter, he just did it.
The black-robed old man's expression changed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment, "The senior is angry, the old merchant who guards this ship has suffered some minor injuries, and he is breathing in the secret room at the moment, so it is inconvenient to meet guests." Shang Lao once instructed that as long as the seniors' conditions were not too harsh, they could agree. ”
"Well, but I'm short on time, so I don't have much time to spend with you. Zhou Nan said with some frowns.
The black-robed old man secretly complained in his heart, and was about to say something when a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the house. (To be continued.) )
