Chapter 5: The Lotus Blossoms

1

On this day, the East China Sea has clear skies and surging blue waves.

In the vastness and mistness, a flat boat sails against the wind against the turbulent waves.

On the bow of the ship, white dust stood up, and the sea breeze blew his clothes to the sound of hunting. Mo Yunchuan sat on the side, looking at the undulating waves a little boring.

"Brother Yichen, where is the Folding Moon Bay you are talking about? It's been so long, why haven't you even seen the edge. Mo Yunchuan couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Bo shook his head in the canopy, in the end, it is the heart of a teenager, in addition to practicing swords on weekdays, it can calm his mind, and sitting quietly like this is indeed a bit boring.

"Although this Folding Moon Bay is not a treasure of feng shui, but after all, it is the place where the lotus is born, it is still a little strange, fortunately, I have come to explore that day, mark it with the formation, and follow the direction indicated by the compass pointer, you can easily find it. Bai Yichen said with a smile.

There was an object in his hand that was engraved with a starry and obscure pattern, which was the compass "Falling Darkness" given by the Taixuan Ancestor that day.

It's just that compared to the old time, the pointer on the compass is floating at this time, and if you look closely, there is a millilight flickering on the tip of the needle, revealing a bit of mystery.

It dragged the boat through the wind and waves, moving forward in the sea, and in a few turns, it had changed three directions.

Suddenly, there was a splash of water and hit the deck, the boat suddenly stopped on the sea, Mo Yunchuan suddenly got up, raised his eyes, and was white.

"Is this it?" he wondered.

"Yes, it should be, but it looks like someone has taken the lead. Bai Yichen put away the compass and said to the sea in front of him, which was foggy at some point.

Mo Yunchuan pondered for a moment, "It's just an illusion, I'll break it." ”

Hearing only a soft groan of "choking", a sword light rose towards the void, and when the sword light swirled, the fog dissipated, revealing a narrow crescent-shaped narrow road.

On one side of the narrow road were two huge sailing boats, separated by two flags, one carved with a fierce white shark with its fangs, and the other with a blue sea and blue sky.

Sure enough, someone laid a fog mirror-like illusion here, blocking people's eyes, although this illusion was rough, it could barely be regarded as a creation out of thin air, at least it was done by a True Yuan Realm monk.

The entrance to Zheyue Bay is not large, and from the outside, the reefs on both sides are dense, blocking the sea water from beating outside, and the inside reveals a small path, which is long and narrow, and somewhat wet and dark.

Bai Yichen got off the boat first, because he had been here before, and he was naturally familiar with the surrounding environment, and the group entered the bay with a familiar car.

Passing through a tortuous narrow road, the field of vision becomes suddenly broad, there is a cave in it, it is a big karst cave, maybe perennial by the sea water, the strange rocks in the cave are craggy, but it is very cool.

"Whoosh" There was a sound of water from far and near, Mo Yunchuan was just about to speak, Bai Yichen made a look, and he slowed down in understanding.

Yuan Bo didn't know when he felt out a talisman, and after it burned out, the bodies of the three people gradually became transparent, and they merged with the environment in the cave, as if they were invisible.

In the center of the cave, there is a dry well.

There are some fallen leaves piled up in the well, covered with dust, and the mouth of the well is covered with moss, facing a crack above the cave, through which you can faintly see the outside, and there is stagnant water falling from the top into the well, ticking and ticking.

The two sides surrounded the dry well, as if they were facing each other.

Shen Mo was still sloppy and unkempt, sitting casually in the middle of them, but the big knife on his back was a little conspicuous, he was looking at the dry well, and there was a corpse lying not far from him, with a shallow knife mark on his neck.

"What? Aren't you Sharks known for their fierceness? How are you like a mouse seeing a cat now? haha. Someone from the Haihe faction laughed, and his voice was extremely harsh.

"Hmph, I heard that two disciples of the Haihe Sect died tragically in Ninghai Town a few days ago, the Haihe Sect has always protected the short, presumably they have already caught the murderer?" Another low voice sounded, but it was Zhao Kuo, the deputy leader of the Giant Shark Gang, he was a little annoyed in his heart, it was he who instructed the disciples in the gang to go to test the silence, but he didn't expect that the person fell before he could make a move, as a True Yuan Realm monk, he didn't even see how the other party made a move.

"Oh, Brother Zhao's words are wrong, the disciples in the sect don't know the height of the sky, they offended this fellow Daoist, and if they die, they will die, which is not a pity. But you are here to sow discord and play with right and wrong, I don't know what your intentions are?" In the middle of the Haihe faction's camp, a man wearing a jade crown and holding a folding fan said slowly, his voice was not very big, but it came from far away, as if whispering in his ear, it was the head of the Haihe faction, Yujizi.

"This person's true yuan is so strong, I'm afraid that he is about to get married. On the outside side of the cave, Bai Yichen frowned slightly.

I only heard Yu Jizi continue: "These are all trivial matters, don't care about it for the time being, but my disciple, the young master of this sect, Liu Yun, disappeared inexplicably the day before yesterday, and the spirit card was broken, but it has nothing to do with you, and there must be an explanation for this matter!"

Jade Jizi's tone was suddenly sharp, and the temperature in the cave was a little colder.

That day, Liu Yun's spirit card suddenly shattered, and he immediately sent people to investigate, not only did he find nothing, but he also failed to return the people he sent, and the last place where they appeared was the edge of where the Giant Shark Gang was located.

Jade Jizi usually attaches great importance to Liu Yun, and after going out in person, she actually found Liu Yun's token in the belly of a shark in the territory of the Giant Shark Gang.

"Jade, I haven't seen you for a long time, your ability to make up stories is getting more and more powerful, do you think my mad shark will be as hypocritical as you? Let's not talk about how Liu Yun died, the people from your Haihe faction dare to come to my territory again and again to snoop, this one alone should be killed!" The giant shark gang leader mad shark spoke, his voice was rough, his physique was strong, he was an arrogant person with empty eyes, how could he bow his head in front of people.

When Yu Jizi heard this, his face sank, his eyes squinted, and the true yuan was secretly circulating, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, revealing a dangerous aura, and the folding fan in his hand shook slightly.

The mad shark on the opposite side did not show weakness, the tiger's body shook, its muscles trembled and rolled down like a rock, and it was facing it from a distance with a dark golden giant axe in his hand.

The disciples on both sides glared angrily, the atmosphere in the cave became tense, and a big battle was about to break out.

"Look, dry wells are springing. I don't know who shouted.

"Poof" a spring gushed out, breaking the deadlock on the field.

And I saw that in the dry well, there was a clear spring flowing.

This water has a faint fragrance that makes people indulge. On this trip to Zheyue Bay, the Giant Shark Gang and the Haihe Sect brought all the elites of the sect, all the disciples who opened the Spirit Gate, but after smelling the fragrance of this spring water, everyone's faces showed varying degrees of confusion, and after a while, some people's faces turned purple and fell to the ground.

"Poison, this water is poisonous, quickly concentrate and hold your breath!" Zhao Kuo suddenly shouted with a sudden change in his face.

He was a monk in the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, and although this spring incense could easily charm ordinary disciples, it had limited influence on the monks above the True Yuan Realm after all.

After a while, the poisonous aroma inexplicably dissipated, and the dry well seemed to regain its vitality, and the spring water gushed out.

Outside the cave, the sky suddenly darkened, and a hazy purple moon hung high, projected on the sea surface, swaying with the water waves.

If someone is standing at the mouth of Folded Moon Bay at this time, they will definitely see the wonder of the purple moon rising in the sea.

When the purple moon gradually changes from full to the bottom of the moon, and finally freezes on the waning moon.

A round of scimitar-like purple light slipped from the sky and refracted into the crack in the cave after passing over the sea, filling it.

Everyone was shocked and fixed on it.

I saw that the wellhead was shattered, and a faint light lit up inside, and then the light was flourishing, and the cold air swept out.

A dark purple lotus flower, like a hibiscus out of the water, blooms quietly against the crescent moon.

"Sure enough, it's the East China Sea Lotus!" Jade Jizi muttered, his mind racing, how to get this thing in his hands.

It is recorded in ancient books: the East China Sea lotus, like purple jade, to the yin to the cold, the moon flowers bloom, and wither in seven days.

The Youlian is full of cold air, and the whole cave is like an ice cellar.

The many disciples of the Giant Shark Gang and the Haihe Sect who had just escaped the poison of Quanxiang were now being hit by the cold air again, and their bodies were stiff, and they all resisted.

That Zhao Kuo saw that Youlian had appeared, and he couldn't bear it at first, and his whole body was shocked, like an arrow from Lixuan, and he shot quickly.

"No!" Seeing that Zhao Kuo was so impatient, the mad shark was a little dissatisfied, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Silent and motionless, he watched silently, and a sneer appeared on Jade Jizi's face.

Zhao Kuo's hand had already touched Youlian, and a coolness came, but he was secretly happy: these fools, indecisive, how can they succeed.

He was about to pick, but his body tightened, as if he was entangled in something cold and silky, but he couldn't break free.

Turning around violently, he was terrified.
