Chapter 138
In fact, Xiao Zhan had already had the idea of going to Qingzhou since he met Fang Yu for the first time.
He wanted to see how big the boundless sea Fang Yu said was, what Fang Yu said about someone outside the world, how tall that person could be, and how big the sky was beyond the sky.
He even wanted to know how powerful the Qingtian Sect was and how far behind Yanlong City was.
On the beach, Xiao Zhan waited quietly.
A sea crossing boat came from a distance and stopped in front of Xiao Zhan.
After Xiao Zhan boarded the boat, the sea-crossing boat started up again and turned into a black light passing over the sea.
Yan Kuan controlled the direction of the sea crossing boat while looking at Xiao Zhan and said:
"My dad said, be careful when you arrive in Qingzhou."
Xiao Zhan nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, smiled and said:
"I will keep the Third Elder's reminder in mind."
Yan Kuan didn't like to talk at all, so he was concentrating on sailing the boat and didn't say much.
Xiao Zhan felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Senior Brother Yan Kuan, how did you and the third elder meet?"
Yan Kuan is forty years old this year, so it is appropriate for Xiao Zhan to call him senior brother.
Yan Kuan curiously looked at the cigarette held between Xiao Zhan's fingertips, frowned and sniffed, and then said:
"The village was massacred, but my father passed by and saved me."
Xiao Zhan nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan was still a little hesitant at first, but he took it the next moment, imitating Xiao Zhan and holding it between his fingertips.
After lighting it, Yan Kuan took a deep breath, and the next moment he choked and his face turned red.
But after he tasted it carefully, he nodded and said:
"Good baby."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded: "This is specially made with dozens of medicinal materials. It is harmless to the body and can calm the mind and calm the mind."
With that said, Xiao Zhan handed the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan took the cigarette and frowned:
"Leave the rest for my dad so he can have a taste of this treasure."
"No merit, no reward, I'll do something for you."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Senior Brother Yan Kuan has already helped a lot, not to mention this thing is worthless."
Yan Kuan didn't answer and focused on sailing the boat again.
Although the speed of the sea-going ship is extremely fast, in the endless sea without any reference objects, the sea-crossing ship seems to be stationary.
This kind of journey is really boring.
Xiao Zhan sat cross-legged on the deck and couldn't help but sigh:
"The true vitality in this sea is dozens of times richer than that in Huangzhou."
Yan Kuan suddenly said:
"Even the true energy in the fringes of Qingzhou is thousands of times stronger than that in Huangzhou."
After a pause, Yan Kuan added:
"I don't like Qingzhou."
These two sentences sound contradictory, but when they were spoken calmly from Yan Kuan's mouth, they were somewhat moving.
Yan Kuan took out half of the unfinished cigarette and lit it, and seemed to talk a little more:
"In the future, when you take complete control of Huangzhou, can I stay in Huangzhou?"
Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded:
"Huangzhou is right there. Senior Brother Yan Kuan can go there at any time."
"Then it's agreed, this is the agreement between us," Yan Kuan nodded, "I'll remember it."
Seeing Yan Kuan's serious look, Xiao Zhan also laughed.
"Senior Brother Yan Kuan, do you really believe that we can control Huangzhou?"
"After all, the other four states have been staring at the Barren State, and our strength is still too weak."
Yan Kuan shook his head and looked at Xiao Zhan with a serious face:
"Twenty years ago, I could only watch the village being slaughtered, and I could only hide on the roof and tremble."
"Two years ago, I killed all those murderers."
"Nothing is impossible in this world."
Xiao Zhan looked at Yan Kuan blankly for a long time, then stood up and clasped his fists and said:
"Xiao Zhan has learned a lesson."
Yan Kuan nodded, "There are still a few days until we arrive in Qingzhou, so you can continue practicing."
"In addition, my father asked me to prepare a design drawing of the sea crossing ship for you. The drawing is too complicated. I will give it to you after I sort it out."
Xiao Zhan thanked him and sat down cross-legged again, breathing in and out, absorbing the rich true energy in the air.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the true energy absorbed by the body was so strong that Xiao Zhan was shocked, Qingzhou finally arrived.
Looking at the endless coastline in front of him, the gorgeous and majestic sea-crossing ships, and the sky-high mountains in the distance, Xiao Zhan looked at Yan Kuan with a solemn expression:
"Senior Brother Yan Kuan, no one will notice us, right?"
Yan Kuan shook his head, "In addition to the sea-crossing ships of the major forces, there are also some hunting ships. This one of ours will not attract attention."
Xiao Zhan frowned, "Hunting? Hunting for what?"
Yan Kuan lowered his voice and said while controlling the sea crossing boat to dock:
"The sea is full of dangers, but it is also full of opportunities. Many sea beasts are delicacies. Those so-called big shots like to eat food that others have hunted with their lives to show their nobility."
Xiao Zhan nodded silently, followed Yan Kuan off the boat, then walked through the spacious stone street and entered a blacksmith shop.
That's right, this senior brother Yan Kuan is, on the surface, a blacksmith.
The blacksmith's shop was not large, and the walls were covered with weapons of various shapes. There was still an unextinguished charcoal fire in the stove near the door, emitting a scorching heat.
Yan Kuan led Xiao Zhan into the back room and down to the basement.
After waiting alone for a while, he saw the third elder Yan Long coming down to the secret room.
He looked at Xiao Zhan solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"Did you encounter any danger on the road?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded, "We encountered several powerful sea beasts, but they were all dealt with by Senior Brother Yan Kuan. There was also a nine-headed sea snake whose strength was comparable to Dan Lake Realm, but we also escaped."
Yan Long's face became more solemn, he thought for a moment and said:
"I still think it's inappropriate for you to come to Qingzhou. Qingzhou is fine as long as I'm watching over you. You'd better return to Huangzhou and improve your strength first."
Seeing Yan Long's worried face, Xiao Zhan quickly said:
"Third Elder, we won't change what we agreed upon."
"Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety. Just keep your heart in mind."
Yan Long sighed, "Okay, I've prepared a few things for you, you must bring them."
With that said, Yan Long took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan opened it and saw several masks inside. They were all different but lifelike. There was no trace of them after putting them on.
In addition, there are several things similar to banknotes.
Yan Long said:
"This is the exchange ticket for True Essence Stones that is common to all four states. The total is about 200,000 True Essence Stones. You can use it first. If there is not enough, I will think of something else."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and lowered his voice:
"If the Third Elder needs the True Essence Stone, just go back to Yanlong City to get it."
Yan Long firmly refused:
"No matter how many True Essence Stones you find, they are the foundation of Yanlong City. I am old, and the True Essence Stones are reserved for young people."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Third Elder, if your strength increases by one point, it will be more beneficial to Yanlong City. Don't refuse. From now on, you and Senior Brother Yan Kuan will take turns going to Yanlong City to get the True Essence Stone."
Yan Long waved his hand perfunctorily: "I can't use any more. The True Essence Stone issued by Qingtian Sect is enough for me."
"Also, let me tell you something else."
Yan Long's expression became solemn:
"Although Qingtian Sect and Mingjian Sect have not sent anyone to Huangzhou, their attention to Huangzhou has intensified."
"I checked a lot of information, and I suspect that their idea was to destroy the treasures left behind in Huangzhou."
"As for whether those treasures exist or not, no one knows. At the time, all the major forces in the four states searched for them for tens of thousands of years and still couldn't find them."
Xiao Zhan's eyes sharpened, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
Those huge batches of True Essence Stones are the foundation and hope left by the martyrs of Huangzhou and must not be snatched away by outsiders!
It seems that Qingtian Sect and Mingjian Sect must be diverted again.
Seeing a flash of determination in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Yan Long frowned: "Xiao Zhan, don't do anything impulsive. That batch of treasures is mostly a cover. Don't worry about being stolen by Qingtian Sect and Mingjian Sect. .”
Xiao Zhan did not continue the topic and continued to look into the cloth bag.
The last thing inside is a scroll.
Yan Long said slowly:
"This is a map of the entire Qingzhou, it may be of some help to you."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Third Elder, do you have a map covering the other four states?"
Yan Long smiled helplessly:
"Qingzhou alone is so big that it has no boundaries."
"There are maps covering other states, but they are very rare. Even within the Qingtian Sect, there are only a few copies."
Xiao Zhan was already satisfied, so he nodded and said:
"Third Elder, I will leave here first so as not to cause you any trouble."
Yan Long waved his hand: "They are all from our own family, no matter what the problem is."
"Remember, if you can't do something, don't do it. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood."
"If you encounter any trouble, just come to me and we will find a solution together."
Xiao Zhan nodded heavily, then walked out of the basement, and then walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Yan Kuan was beating a red-hot sword blank and said to Xiao Zhan without raising his head:
"Bon Voyage."
Xiao Zhan made an OK gesture and strode towards the other end of the street.
It has to be said that Qingzhou’s true vitality is indeed strong.
Even just walking on the street like this, Xiao Zhan could feel the true energy constantly drilling into his body, constantly tempering the meridians throughout his body.
Being born in a place like this, even if you do nothing, your strength will slowly increase.
Xiao Zhan felt extremely angry when he thought that Huangzhou was once such a place with strong true energy.
Not all of this true energy was stolen from Huangzhou.
Xiao Zhan changed into loose clothes and looked just like a native of Qingzhou, so no one paid attention to him. Only a few young women who were traveling together turned to look at him.
This town is located on the edge of Qingzhou. The coastline not far away is the ferry base of several major forces, so this town was formed.
But here there are many shops, restaurants, and people coming and going on the streets, which is quite lively.
Xiao Zhan watched as he walked, and soon came to a circular building in the center of the town.
The ring-shaped building is more than a thousand meters high. When you walk in, you will see huge stone pillars standing on the ground. The stone pillars are tied with dark chains to huge black wind eagles.
Xiao Zhan looked at it with interest, and then walked towards an old man who was registering with a book.
The old man was wearing a gray robe, with a black wind eagle flying in lightning embroidered on the robe, and the three characters "Beast Control Gate" underneath.
Seeing Xiao Zhan coming over, the old man raised his eyelids and asked casually while recording something in the book:
"Where?"
Xiao Zhan blurted out:
"Qingtian Sect."
The old man raised his head in surprise, but didn't ask any more questions. He just said casually:
"Without permission, our Black Wind Eagle from the Beast Control Sect cannot directly enter the Qingtian Sect's territory and can only send you to the nearest Qingfeng City."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Okay."
The old man didn't waste any time. He took out a small piece of bamboo and wrote the words 'Qingfeng City' on it, then handed it to Xiao Zhan and said:
"Black Wind Eagle No. 25, go over and wait for a moment. We will set off when everyone is here."
Xiao Zhan glanced at the small sign. It had a number and a destination, but did not ask for his name or origin. This was quite humane.
Xiao Zhan looked around and finally saw the '25' mark on a hundred-meter-high stone pillar, and then walked over.
The Black Wind Eagle, which had lost a lot of feathers on one end and was bare in many places on its body, was lying on the ground. It was obviously not in good spirits. It was probably an old Black Wind Eagle on its head.
On the ground nearby, dozens of people had gathered. None of them talked to each other, and they all stood there and waited quietly.
