Night falls.
A bright moon rises over the sea.
Under the moonlight, the waves soothed. Occasionally, a wave hit the rocks and exploded into a ball of water. The figures who were sitting in meditation were suddenly startled, and they continued to breathe and breathe calmly.
On this small island, in a desolate place deep in the sea, eight monks gathered. The former life-and-death rivals faced each other again to determine the winner, and after making vows, they finally sat together for real. It's just that the doubts between all parties are difficult to eliminate, and it is inevitable to be surprised.
Immortal cultivators pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, and the unity of heart and speech. As long as you make an oath, you cannot break it, otherwise it will harm your Taoist heart and it will be tantamount to destroying your future.
Under Yu Ye's persecution, Zhan Kun's persuasion, and Yu Tianshi's inducement, Mu Yuanzi and Su Qiuzi first promised to never be enemies. Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan had to apologize and make the same promise. oath.
Yu Ye weighed it again and again, and reluctantly accepted the sincerity of the four sect leaders.
He didn't have the ability to get rid of Xun Yuan, nor could he defeat Linghu Bei. Although Dragon Armor and Star Lost are magical, they cannot make up for the gap in cultivation. What's more, he has never regarded the four sect leaders as opponents. The one he fears the most is Xie Luozi.
"Wow--"
Another wave comes.
The wave hit the barrier and a splash of water exploded a few feet away.
Yu Ye raised his eyes and glanced.
The reef where it is located seems huge, but the slightly flat area is only four or five feet. Eight people sat down to rest, it was a bit crowded, but they had nowhere to go, so they could only make do with each other and tolerate each other.
Heshan and Yu Tianshi were sitting next to him, and two or three feet away were Zhan Kun and the four sect masters, all with tired faces, each busy breathing and breathing.
Yu Ye calmed down and closed his eyes.
He was already exhausted and was just holding on.
"It's not easy to surrender four sect masters in one fell swoop!"
Suddenly, a voice transmission sounded in his ears. It was Hemlock speaking to him, quite approvingly.
"surrender?"
Yu Ye shook his head and said, "Who is willing to sincerely convince me?"
"How can an oath be false?"
"If the fist is not strong enough, the oath will be like a fart!"
Hemlock couldn't help but open his eyes.
I saw Yu Ye sitting peacefully, but there was an inexplicable evil energy all over his body.
"Wow——"
Another wave came rolling in.
As the silvery waves dispersed, the bright moon in the sky shone even more dazzlingly.
…
A big fish floated between the waves.
The big fish was four to five feet long, but it was floating with the waves. It had obviously been dead for a long time. And sitting on the wide belly of the fish were two old men. Among them, Birch drooped his head and looked very weak. Xie Luozi, on the other hand, looked at the two pieces of jade in his hand, looking very angry and helpless.
Two months have passed, and not only have the islands marked on the four sea charts not been found, but even the deserted islands have not been seen for many days.
That was fine, but he was on his way with one person. Even though Xieluozi was highly skilled, he could no longer hold on, so he killed the big fish in the sea as a place to stay. The fish will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea, and he must find his whereabouts as soon as possible.
"To this day, I don't even know where I am, how unreasonable!"
Xie Luozi shook the jade piece in his hand and shouted, and said in a threatening tone: "Birch, you are familiar with this sea area, please give me some pointers, otherwise I will have to leave you here to feed the fish. Got it!"
Birch slowly raised his head and said: "He is fierce in appearance but soft in heart, greedy and changeable, and forgets justice when he sees profit. He is also a deceitful person!"
"snort!"
Xie Luozi snorted nonchalantly.
Birch's beard and hair were messy, and he looked haggard, but his eyes were profound. He said quietly: "A slightest mistake can make you miss a thousand miles. You may have missed hundreds of thousands of miles. You might as well turn northeast and return to the right path..."
"hehe!"
Xie Luozi finally smiled and said: "Thank you, brother!" Boqi closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "There is a cause before and there is a result afterward. People who commit evil will not survive..."
…
The waves are rolling and the wind is howling.
Three figures with sword lights came through the strong wind and waves, and hurriedly landed on an isolated island.
"Kuchishima?"
"Take a break for three days!"
With a flash of light, the restriction shrouded the area, the sound of the wind faded away, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
Before the three of them could sit down, five more figures descended from the sky.
"Haha, luckily my brother led the way!"
"Hmph, he must be hiding something..."
"Brother Xun wrongly blamed Yu Ye. This is due to the Heavenly Master. With his compass to guide the way, we can find the stars and identify the direction."
"oh……"
Yu Ye, Heshan and Yu Tianshi arrived first, followed by Linghu Bei, Xun Yuan and others.
Yu Ye was too lazy to argue with Xun Yuan. He took out the spirit stone and put it in his palm. He breathed and adjusted while looking at the small island where he was.
After the four sect masters made an oath to him, they walked together. A few months ago I found a small island, which according to Master Yu's speculation should be De'an Island. Now it is late September and I have found a place to stay again. If this is Kuchi Island, it means that the direction along the way is correct.
In total, it has been more than two months since we left Qizhou. Even if we were delayed for a few days on the way, it would be enough to fly two to three hundred thousand miles. If the trip goes well, we can reach Yanzhou in four or five months.
Too far.
If you are not familiar with this sea area or have a compass to guide you, it will be difficult to reach the other shore!
"Brother Yu, come to the altar to drink and relieve your fatigue!"
Master Yu Tianshi on the side stretched out his hand to signal.
Yu Ye took out a jar of wine.
"Two more pounds of braised pork!"
"Gone!"
Master Yu Tian was obsessed with the art of refining weapons and making talismans. He had no other hobbies except drinking and eating meat. He had already eaten all the more than 100 kilograms of braised meat that Yu Ye bought in Nanyu City.
"Gone?"
"Do you think I'm the manager of a wine shop?"
"Well, wine is enough!"
Master Yu Tian was contented, picked up the wine jar and took a sip of wine.
Someone came over.
It's Zhan Kun.
He has removed the bandage on his shoulder and seems to be recovering well from his injury. He sat down nearby, smiled honestly, stretched out his hand, and said: "Instead of having fun alone, why not have fun together!"
Yu Ye took out two jars of wine again.
And Zhan Kun reached out to grab a wine jar, and took out a few pottery bowls, filled them all, and said: "I invite some brothers to drink in the field, and I will reward you with thin noodles!"
He waved his sleeve and the wine bowl flew out.
The four sect masters reached out to take the wine bowls, each feeling a little surprised.
Mu Yuanzi and Su Qiuzi changed their looks and said, "Fellow Taoist Yu, please——"
Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Please——"
Although the journey was hard, they could always find a place to rest, and they didn't have to worry about losing their way, which greatly improved the situation of the four sect masters. The benefits of turning enemies into friends are easy to see, and former doubts and prejudices are gradually put aside.
Yu Ye looked at Zhan Kun, then at the four sect masters, raised the wine jar in his hand, and said: "Everyone, please——"
After drinking, everyone had smiles on their faces.
"Ha ha!"
Zhan Kun laughed loudly and said: "You and I are in the same spirit and we are a family. Now that we are traveling far away, we should live in harmony and move forward together!"
"Since we are a family, we should not distinguish between each other..."
Xun Yuan must have felt a knot in his heart and couldn't help but let out a grunt.
"Brother Xun, everyone has different fates, so there is no need to mention the past. There are countless opportunities here, so why not take a long-term view!"
"Yes, what you said makes sense. Fill up the wine with me and have another bowl -"
"Haha, let's all drink together -"
…
This is a market town by the sea.
The town is quaint, with uneven bluestone streets, but the docks far away are full of people coming and going, making it a lively and busy scene.
The town is located at the westernmost end of Yanzhou and is a gathering place for those who go to sea or return from a long journey.
There was a woman sitting under an old tree at the intersection leading to the pier. She is in her mid-twenties, has a sweet appearance, and is dressed in coarse cloth. She looks like the daughter of an ordinary family. Her dress and boots are all red, and she especially holds a red umbrella in her hand, which makes her look a little more extravagant. Unique charm.
The people in the small town have long been accustomed to it. This woman will sit quietly under the tree for several hours every day, no matter the wind or rain, and this has been going on for several years. No one knows where she came from or where she went after that. It is a scenery at the dock of the ancient town, beautiful and mysterious.
It's getting late.
Dusk falls.
The woman silently looked at the beautiful sunset over the sea, a smile appeared on her cheeks, and then she frowned slightly, looking slightly melancholy, then she stood up and left.
Holding an umbrella and walking through the hustle and bustle of the street, I landed silently and calmly.
After leaving the town, the woman's steps became lighter and lighter. Just as a breeze blew, she rose up on the wind and disappeared without a trace. And in the swirling breeze, there was a faint sigh——
"Hey, old thing, how long and how long have you been hiding..."
…
On the sea, two old men came riding the wind.
Among the waves in front, rocks appeared. Although there were many in number, they were intertwined, steep and sharp.
"Brother, do you recognize this place?"
"It must be Toxian Island without a doubt!"
"Ha ha!"
Xie Luozi grabbed Bo Qi and flew down, saying happily: "Now that we have returned to the right path, it will not be difficult to find Yanzhou!"
After struggling at sea for more than three months, I finally found the island marked on the four-sea map. Now that the destination is clear, reaching the other shore is just around the corner.
The two landed on a slightly flat rock.
Xie Luozi sat cross-legged, his eyes twinkling slightly.
Birch fell into the stone puddle beside him, still embarrassed and haggard.
While resting, Xie Luozi stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said, "Brother uncle, who was chasing you back then?"
Birch leaned against the rocks, stretched out his hands to wrap his wet Taoist robe tightly, closed his eyes, and gasped slightly: "There are masters from Tianfu Sect and Tianliang Sect, as well as seniors from Tianji Sect..."
"I have heard you say many times that it is nothing more than Tianfu, Tianliang, and Tianji. It seems that there are only a few well-known immortal sects in Yanzhou, far less than the number of immortal sects in Qizhou."
】
"Huh, what I'm talking about is only the six great immortal sects..."
"Appreciate further details."
"With a radius of millions of miles in Yanzhou, there are countless sects of Taoist, demonic, ghost, and demon cultivators. Among them, six sects are each supreme, namely Tianfu, Tianliang, Tianji, Tiantong, Tianxiang, and Qi. Kill. However, the Seven Kills Sect was once overthrown, and now there may be only five families left..."
"Seven Killing Sect?"
"A sect of demonic cultivators..."
"Why was the family destroyed?"
"It has something to do with the artifact..."
"And the artifact comes from the Tianji Sect, how can it be related to the Seven Kills Sect?"
"The artifact was snatched for the Tianji Sect and accidentally fell into the hands of my disciples. Later, it was hunted by all parties and had to flee overseas..."
"Why don't you hand over the artifact in exchange for the master's forgiveness?"
"I got three artifacts, but lost nine magical artifacts. It's hard for me to win the trust of all parties, and I can't argue with anyone..."
"And where are your three artifacts?"
"Forget it, I might as well say it one last time. The artifact is kept by my disciple, and its whereabouts have long been unknown."
"And you haven't told the name and purpose of the artifact yet, Birch..."
Birch huddled in the stone puddle, his head drooped, his body trembling, but he refused to say another word.
"Huh, old thing!"
Xie Luozi groaned and reluctantly gave up.
