In the early morning of the next day, thick fog rose from the sea, ships were moored in the port, and the pavilions on the shore were covered with hazy shadows. This was not a hindrance to practitioners, but rather added to the scenery.
So even though it was early in the morning, people were already coming and going in the fog. When Xuzhuang walked past a bridge, Shi Shi was already waiting there.
Xu Zhuanggong cupped his hands and said, "Miss, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Fairy Shi's eyebrows revealed a smile under her veil, and she said, "The slave family has just arrived."
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, and without being polite, the two of them walked side by side to the port. Xu Zhuang suddenly said: "If we met for the first time in the past, we could be considered acquaintances. Now it has been more than twenty years, but we have not yet met." I have truly seen the girl’s magic skills.”
Fairy Shi smiled silently and did not respond. She only said: "We are about to arrive. Sir, please change your words and call me Shi Shi, lest you go to the Undersea Dragon Palace and expose your flaws."
His eyes moved as he spoke, which was very touching, but Xu Zhuang remained unmoved and responded calmly: "Xu will save you."
Sure enough, they didn't go much further, and through the mist, they saw Ao Hai's servant 'Xiao Si' waiting on the shore.
Seeing this person, Xu Zhuang raised his arms and cupped his hands slightly, saying, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, fellow Taoist." Shi Shi also bowed slightly as a courtesy.
"Where is that?" Xiao Si responded, "Since you two are here, why don't we set off immediately?"
Xu Zhuang responded: "Good."
After hearing this, Xiao Si turned around, looked at the sea, frowned and said: "The water here is shallow, let's stay away from the continental shelf first, and then enter the sea before it is too late."
Xu Zhuang and Shi Shi naturally followed suit, while Xiao Si didn't hesitate. He suddenly made a wave of water and took the lead and flew into the sea. The two of them also followed closely on the wind.
This servant of the Dragon Palace Prince escaped very quickly, but Xu and Shi were naturally able to keep up with the speed. Three escaping lights shot together, and within a moment they flew hundreds of miles away. They saw that Zhaoyue Island had disappeared into the fog. In the middle, Xiao Si suddenly looked back at Xu Zhuang and the two of them, and asked suspiciously: "You two, what is going on?"
Xu Zhuang frowned slightly and sighed: "They're just some arrogant people."
Xiao Si said unhappily: "You humans always like to stage scenes of killing each other."
Xu Zhuang muttered: "How about fellow Taoist taking the first step, so that Xu can help solve the problem."
Xiao Si hesitated for a moment and shouted: "Okay, we are still more than 600 miles away from the depth of the sea. I will wait for you 600 miles away to solve the problem quickly." Then with a wave of water, Xu Shi and the two were separated. , and in an instant there was only a smaller and smaller shadow left.
Shi Shi smiled and said: "It seems that the reputation of the young master has not spread to the East China Sea. Just a mere dragon ball has made the villain jealous."
Xu Zhuang looked back, and through the thick fog, he saw six people working hand in hand, escaping the light, and they were chasing after them quickly. At a glance, he saw three or two familiar people.
The two leading people are Mr. Zheng and Mr. Lian, who have had a "few acquaintance" with Xu Zhuang. The following persons are each wearing a black robe with a gauze robe, hiding their faces. This look seems to be in Peng Xuan's eyes. In the Baohui, I have never seen the monks who bid for dragon beads, but the others.
These six people were approaching fiercely and did not conceal their aura at all. Xu Zhuang could tell at a glance that they were all at the Golden Core realm, but they were only of average or low rank.
"Extremely stupid." Xu Zhuang responded.
Xu and Shi didn't mention the intention of escaping quickly, but Xu, the latecomer, felt that one person was running away, so he increased his speed, but in the blink of an eye, the six people were approaching the distance.
Seeing Xu and Shi two people stopped in the air, the leader surnamed Zheng immediately showed cruelty on his face and laughed: "Xu Zhuang! You took the dragon ball and dared to leave the boundary of Zhaoyue Island. Could it be that you are giving the treasure to me, young master?" ”
A horse-faced monk shouted: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, kill this person immediately and get the dragon ball."
Young Master Lian was speechless. His expression showed great fear, but more importantly, he was overflowing with greed and determination.
The remaining monks in black robes covered with sandals naturally had no expression and no words. However, as they approached, mana was already surging, and it seemed that they were about to strike with thunder.
Not long ago, Xu Zhuang had ignored the small conflict he had with Zheng and Lian. He really never thought that one day the other party would 'hunt' him.
There is no cure for people's stupidity, and they will inevitably lead to their own destruction.
Xu Zhuang had no intention of talking to such a blind thing. Without any movement, his body was filled with sword energy, as if the infinite sword energy would burst out of his body in the next second.
At this moment, Shi Shi suddenly pressed down on Xu Zhuang's raised hand and said softly: "Young master just now, did you say you want to see the Nu family's magic sect?"
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang's heart moved and he smiled, "What do you mean, girl?"
"Didn't I already tell you to call me Shi Shi?" Shi Shi said angrily, "I'll let the slave family take care of the stupid things on my behalf."
While talking and laughing, a little spiritual light suddenly floated out from nowhere, and flew away. Halfway up, it suddenly seemed to merge into the void and lost its trace.
At the same moment, all directions above and below were suddenly shrouded in darkness, the sky became gloomy, black water rolled on the sea surface, and even the mist turned into black smoke.
This change, which seemed to change the world, only happened in an instant. Even Xu Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart: "What kind of magic is this?"
"What is this!"
A relatively familiar voice suddenly came from the black mist, and the next moment, it turned into a howl.
Xu Zhuang's spiritual consciousness swept away, but he only felt that black mist was floating everywhere, rolling in and out. This mist could actually block his spiritual consciousness.
Xu Zhuang closed his eyes and then opened them again. He was already working on his Taoist skills. He opened his eyes and looked through the layers of fog. He finally saw the figure faintly inside, and his expression suddenly condensed.
Zheng Zhang's hair was disheveled and he looked horrified. The dragon's yellow robe was in pieces. He covered his left shoulder with his right hand. His left arm was missing. His shoulder muscles looked like they were 'broken', as if they had been torn off by something, dripping with blood!
Xu Zhuangfang looked over and saw a demon head leaping out of thin air below him. It had a single horn on its forehead. It had no eyes, no nose, no ears. It only had a bloody mouth and two rows of half-foot-long fangs. Hanging with flesh and blood.
The one-horned devil suddenly sprang out, opened its mouth and bit Zheng Zhang's leg. Zheng Zhang seemed to be on guard. He shouted loudly, and a fierce aura erupted from his body. He struck down and smashed the one-horned devil directly into the sea. middle.
After being on guard against the demon's attack, Zheng Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the hair on his body stood up, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
In the void, countless one-horned devils leaped out of the black mist, their mouths open with bloody mouths, silent laughter, and they surged up, instantly submerging Zheng Zhang.
At first, there was a continuous burst of spiritual light, and then Zheng Zhang let out a shrill scream, and even changed his words to beg for mercy. However, within a moment, there was no sound, the demons dispersed one after another, and jumped into the void to where they went without even a drop of blood. All that was left was a piece of yellow cloth, fluttering into the sea.
At the same moment, there were flashes of spiritual light in the black mist, and shouts continued. As time passed, wailings came from the front and back, and it was obvious that they were being attacked one after another.
"Xu Lang's magical eyes are so powerful that he can actually see through the slave's magic." Shi Shi smiled Qiao Qiaoqian, his beautiful eyes looked forward to it, but there was no trace of the cruel and domineering appearance of his demon master.
Xu Zhuang responded: "...the girl's magic skills are really powerful."
Disappointment showed in Shi Shi's brows, and he sighed: "Being born in a demon sect, you have no choice. I didn't want Mr. Xu to see the demon I fed, so I tried to cover it up... Mr. Xu, you hate me even more." What?"
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "Taoism is mysterious. If you use it for righteousness, it will bless living beings. If you use it for evil, it will be poisonous. There is no difference between Taoism and magic."
Shi Shi said: "Why does Mr. Xu avoid answering the questions that the slave family is really concerned about?"
"Girl, please stop joking." Xu Zhuang said, "Since the trouble here has been taken care of, let's leave quickly." After saying this, his body moved and he turned into a sword light and flew out.
Shi Shi hooked up the corner of her lips, raised one hand, and dropped the sleeves of her skirt a little, revealing a silver bracelet on her wrist. There were several small six or seven-year-old bells hanging on the chain, changing colors, and swayed when the wind blew. But there was no sound. Suddenly, the darkness in all directions receded, and the black light converged, like flowing water, flowing back to Shi Shi's wrist and flying into a bell.
"Dingle bell~" the bell rang and disappeared in an instant.
Shi Shi put away his hand, and when his body moved, he didn't see any brilliance, as if he was being 'moved', he flew a hundred miles away in the blink of an eye, and within a moment, he was already six hundred miles away.
As expected, Xiao Si kept his promise and was waiting here. Xu Zhuang had also arrived first, standing in the air with his hands behind his hands, looking at the ocean, wondering what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, Shi Shi 'moved' to the two of them, which made Xiao Si's heart skip a beat and he secretly shouted: What kind of escape method is this?
At this moment, Xiao Si suddenly realized that this human woman, who had always been considered by His Highness and himself to be delirious with love, was not very simple.
Shi Shi smiled slightly, flew to Xu Zhuang's side, and said coquettishly: "Xu Lang, why don't you wait for me for a while?"
"...Maybe I'm overthinking."
Xiao Si shook his head and said to Xu and Shi: "You two, we are still hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Dragon Palace. We need to go deep into the bottom of the East China Sea and borrow the 'water channel' to get there as soon as possible."
"How about the younger one taking you two for a ride."
Xu Zhuang withdrew his gaze, looked at Shi Shi, and nodded together: "Good."
Xiao Si saluted the two of them, Xu Zhuang, and suddenly leaned down, revealing his original shape. The back was armored with scales, and the limbs were like oars. It turned out to be a turtle, but its appearance was not as honest as in human form, and its jaws were serrated. , the limbs also have sharp claws, and the body is huge, which is more than enough to carry a pavilion. It is obviously a strange species, or it is impossible to be born with dragon blood.
"Mr. Xu, Fairy Shi, please come on my back. If you are not proficient in water escape, you can hide in my armor." Xiao Si said in a loud voice.
Xu Zhuang nodded and said he was not polite. As soon as he put on his Taoist robe, he flew down on the turtle's back and sat down. He had the Five Elements Escape Technique by his side, so he was naturally not afraid of entering the water. He didn't know what Shi Shi's method was to protect himself. On the turtle's back, he sat down half leaning against Xuzhuang.
Seeing the two people sitting down, Xiao Si didn't dare to delay. His body sank and fell straight into the sea. After entering the water, he swung his limbs like paddles and quickly escaped to the depths of the seabed.
Xu Zhuang had traveled to the East China Sea, but he had never dived into the depths of the ocean.
At the extreme depths of the seabed, the rays of the sun are hard to reach. It is cold and dark. Without spiritual consciousness, it is almost impossible to see anything. What is surprising is that in such a seabed, living creatures are not rare. Some are more than a thousand feet long, some are as small as a mayfly, and they are all kinds of strange and strange shapes, each with its own "character".
Xiao Si carried the two of them and paraded in the darkness. While Xu Zhuang was admiring the scenery on the seabed, he did not forget to silently figure out the way forward.
After half an hour like this, Xu Zhuang's spiritual consciousness suddenly moved. Somewhere in the direction of his advance, something was sucked into it, and suddenly it stretched out for a long distance. If Xu Zhuang's spiritual consciousness was not strong, he might have suffered some damage.
Xu Zhuang felt it carefully, only to feel that the place was 'suspended' in the air, with nothing left in all directions. It seemed like a hole, with endless attraction, swallowing the sea water, and the undercurrent brought up all kinds of fish, crabs and shrimps. , seaweed and coral, and all comers are accepted, and they are all taken into the mouth.
Before Xu Zhuang could think about it, a group of people had already approached the entrance of the cave. Xiao Si said in a loud voice: "We will escape into the waterway soon. Please sit tight, please."
It turns out that this is the 'water channel'.
Xiaosi was carrying Xu Zhuang Shishi, and suddenly accelerated his speed along the undercurrent of the waterway, and plunged into it. Xu Zhuang felt like a small boat suddenly falling into the rushing river, following the surging waves. The ocean current rushed out uncontrollably. As it escaped, it even rolled with the ocean current, spinning and rolling in the sea water.
It turns out that this 'waterway' is actually such a way of moving forward. Not to mention humans, they are the original creatures in the sea. Without certain cultivation and protection, they will definitely not be able to withstand it. In the ocean currents, there are many people who are trapped in it. Fish and shrimps that were accidentally caught in the "water channel" lost their movement in the roll.
However, with Xu Zhuang's cultivation level, he would not have such troubles. He possesses the method of water escape, which also makes him steady and still has some strength left. He can feel the group of people moving quickly along the ocean current, thousands of miles away, and After a while, the longitude passed.
The waterway was not straight all the way, winding back and forth in the sea. Xu Zhuang felt that it had traveled nearly a million miles. Suddenly, he felt a light in front of him, approaching quickly, and then a group of three people were swept away by the ocean current. Spit out.
It turned out that we had reached the end of this waterway.
As soon as Fang came out of the waterway, he saw a huge figure blocking the outside. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the fish, crabs, shrimps, seaweeds, corals, and even sand and rocks that came out of the waterway into its mouth.
It turned out to be a giant whale, and it was very smart to wait at the exit for a feast.
Seeing that he was about to rush into the whale's mouth, Xu Zhuang flicked his fingers slightly, and Xiao Si suddenly shouted: "How reckless!"
"oops!"
The giant whale screamed and closed its mouth. Xu Zhuang and others finally stopped emasculating. The whale rolled in the water and turned into a bald man about two feet tall and wearing armor. He touched his forehead and said with a naive smile. : "Fourth Master, you are finally here."
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince returned to the palace half a day ago and sent me to meet you at this waterway. I have been waiting for a long time and I am so hungry..."
"Shut up." Xiao Si transformed into a human and said helplessly, "How will your Highness arrange it?"
"Oh!" The giant whale man responded, pinched out two jade pendants from his waist with two fingers, and said, "His Highness asked you to take the guests to his palace to settle them. These are left by His Highness."
Xiao Si nodded and said, "Open the way ahead!" He took two jade pendants. In the hands of the giant whale man, the jade pendants were no more than the size of a finger. When they were in Xiao Si's hands, the size became normal. He passed them to Xu Zhuang and said : "Sir, Fairy, this jade pendant represents His Highness's status as a guest. Please wear it with you."
Xu Zhuang Shishi naturally followed the good example and tied the jade pendant around his waist. The giant man swung his body again and turned into a giant whale, leading the way and the three of them followed closely.
The exit of this waterway is still a thousand miles away? Thousands of miles? The bottom of the sea is not as dark as the entrance to the waterway. You can already see things. As a whale and three people move forward, it gradually becomes brighter. After passing through a tunnel in an undersea mountain range, your eyes suddenly open up.
A continuous palace, bright and bright everywhere, all made of glazed tiles, crystal beams and pillars, decorated with underwater pearls, paved with sea crystal roads, planted with nine-color corals, with fish, beauties and clams coming and going, and shrimps, soldiers and crabs patrolling the palace. non-stop.
This is the East China Sea Dragon Palace!
