"Huh?" Lu Zhong's eyes narrowed.
I saw a familiar figure floating on the muddy sea surface.
Even though the other person was now in a state of flesh and blood, he could still recognize him at a glance. This was the Immortal Sect monk Zhao Lin whom he had met once before when he was in the East China Sea.
What puzzles Lu Zhong is that she has no breath now.
"Strange, it's just a big explosion..."
Although the power of the explosion is not small, comparable to the self-destruction of the golden elixir, for Nascent Soul monks, as long as they are not in a defenseless state, the result is serious injury at most.
Putting the storage ring of the corpse away, Lu Zhong released his consciousness without reservation.
Covering the nearby sea area of more than 20 miles.
Soon, he found two more Yuanying corpses, both of which were in the middle stage of Yuanying. Accompanying the ship were more than a hundred pill-forming monks and hundreds of foundation-building monks.
This discovery confirmed Lu Zhong’s previous judgment.
According to the information he knew, due to the limitation of resource supply, the cultivation level of the monks of the Middle-earth sect was usually a carrot and a pit.
If the monks below want to go further, they must wait for someone above them to break through or die, or to exceed the promotion years and make the pit space free.
The huge Guimiao Immortal Sect, even if it sits on the huge Central Earth Southern Sect, can only train twelve mid-stage Nascent Soul monks.
Further up, there are three great monk positions.
As for the Taizun who transforms into gods.
Even if you spend all your money in the Immortal Sect, you can only support one person.
Returning to the Miao Immortal Sect, they sent three mid-stage Nascent Soul monks and a mountain-shaking boat. Thinking about it, they knew they must have bad intentions.
"In the end what happened?"
In order to find the answer, Lu Zhong began to review the scene.
…
In the Hui Shuo scene, Lu Zhong discovered that Zhao Lin and the other three people, as well as the Immortal Sect monks under his command, were more or less injured. At the same time, many parts of the mountain-shaking boat they were riding on were also damaged.
Apparently, there was a big battle between the Immortal Sect monks on their way here.
"What kind of threat did the Immortal Sect monks encounter on the way? It actually injured three mid-stage Nascent Soul monks, and the Shanshan boat was also seriously damaged. Lu Zhong really couldn't figure out what could have caused all this, so he came to Shanshan The navigation room on the mountain boat contains the flight log of the flying boat.
Checking the diary, when he turned to one of the pages, his expression suddenly became serious.
There are only a few lines on it, but it indirectly reveals the purpose of Zhao Lin and the others' trip. It clearly says "Support Qingyaozi, rebuild Changchun Valley, and stabilize the situation." Although the diary does not mention the word Bihai Sect, if Changchun Valley is really rebuilt, then the fate of Bihai Sect is self-evident.
"Qingyaozi..." Lu Zhong remembered this name in his heart.
In order to heal Yu Feng'er's injuries before, he had been unable to get out.
Unexpectedly, not only could Qingyaozi secretly conceive a baby, but he also had the support of the Guimiao Immortal Sect, and even attempted to rebuild the Changchun Valley.
This person must not be left here!
Lu Zhong decided to come to the door and kill him when he had time.
But for now, formality matters.
Continuing to browse the voyage log, I quickly found what I wanted. The incident happened three days ago. According to the navigation chart, it was estimated to be 550,000 miles away from the Bihai Fairy City.
It has long been far away from the East China Sea and belongs to a sea area called Lihai, located in the middle of the East China Sea route.
The offshore area has always been the area where attacks by sea beasts occur most frequently. Seven out of ten ships that sank in the East China Sea route were located here.
When the accident happened, Xianzong and his party were already deep into the center of Lihai.
Then looking down, the encounter continued above.
"I actually encountered a demon cultivator!"
Lu Zhong was surprised.
What they encountered was a demon cultivator dressed in gold, whose strength was marked by Zhao Lin as "suspected of being a half-step god". He called himself the "Great Sage from the Sea" and launched an attack on the Xianzong Feizhou as soon as he appeared.
Therefore, Zhao Lin and the others had to join forces to resist, and were severely injured one by one after fighting for dozens of rounds. After consuming a fifth-level spiritual talisman bestowed by Luoying Taizun, and paying the price of a mountain-shaking ship, they were in danger. Escape from the demon cultivator with amazing strength.
"Half-step transformation into a god, this is a being stronger than a great monk." Lu Zhong murmured.
In the review of the scene just now, he discovered that the cause of the big explosion was the detonation of the spiritual pool of the rocking boat. Looking back further, I discovered that there was an extra golden demon power inside.
It was this demonic power that caused the big explosion.
In vain, Zhao Lin and others were still rejoicing that they could escape from the hands of the half-step god, but they didn't know that they had been plotted to death. A sudden big explosion happened to bury the three people who were seriously injured, as well as more than a thousand high and low-level monks on the ship.
At this point, the matter can be said to have come to light.
But what puzzled Lu Zhong was why a demon cultivator suddenly attacked Xianzong Feizhou. And he is still such a half-step god and demon cultivator.
Furthermore, why did he appear in Lihai?
He also calls himself the "Great Sage Li Hai".
"Anyway, this demon cultivator's inexplicable attack can be regarded as blocking a disaster for me." Lu Zhong thought in his heart. Otherwise, when the monks of the Immortal Sect arrive in Nanman, he, who is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, will not be in danger of his life, but the Bihai Sect he founded will become someone else's wedding dress.
Even if you manage to take it back afterwards, it will probably be ransacked several times.
While thinking, the Blue Sea Ship has arrived.
The hatches on both sides opened, and a large number of Bihai Sect disciples filed out, led by Su Caocao, the leader of the Bihai Sect. Her eyes fell on the sea full of floating corpses.
When she saw the corpses of Zhao Lin and her three people placed neatly on the board of the ship, she, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but look shocked.
Su Caocao could not identify the origins of the three people, but by feeling the pressure remaining on the corpse, she could also know that the extraordinary person in front of the owner of the corpse was also very different from the master Lu Zhong in front of her.
"Master, do you want to start search and rescue immediately?"
"Search and rescue? None of them can be saved. Just fish them out and cremate them." Lu Zhong stopped thinking and ordered: "Try your best to collect valuable items. After registering them, they will be added to the sect's treasury."
After getting three storage rings, he didn't bother to check out the remaining storage bags for forming core foundations. After all, there weren't many things that caught his eye. Anyway, after the list came out, he was the first to redeem it, so he simply issued such an order.
"Yes!" Su responded hastily.
With an order, the Bihai Sect disciples began to take action.
They all started to get busy.
…
Return to the mountain gate.
Lu Zhong told Yu Feng'er what happened. She was also surprised to hear that the Bihai Sect almost suffered a disaster just today.
When he heard about the Great Sage Lihai's action, Yu Feng'er, who had been in charge of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, suddenly realized a problem.
"Husband, if the Great Sage Lihai has always been entrenched there, wouldn't the East China Sea route be the same!"
"I'm worried about this too." Lu Zhong felt heavy.
The goods produced in the Middle Earth are of great importance to the Southern Barbarian Immortal Cultivation World.
Most are indispensable.
The only way for them to reach Nanman is through the East China Sea route.
The motive behind the attack on the Immortal Sect Feizhou by the Great Sage Lihai was whether it was to kill chickens to scare monkeys, or for other purposes.
As long as this demonic cultivator is still entrenched in Lihai, the East China Sea route will continue to be interrupted. Once the trade in the East China Sea is interrupted, it will definitely be a disaster for the Nanman cultivating world.
"Eternal God Emperor"
It is a "road in the middle of the earth since ancient times". If you want to bypass the Lihai where the half-step god is entrenched, the fleet will have to go deep into the dangerous depths of the boundless sea. And with the current strength of the Nanman, it is obviously impossible to compare with the Tianyuan Immortal. Like the palace, sufficient escort force was organized.
As for crossing the Khantian Plateau?
As far as Lu Zhong knew, this was more difficult than going around Lihai.
The only way he could think of was to rely on manpower to carve out a passage on the "high wall of regret" near the sea on the plateau, or to set up dozens or hundreds of teleportation arrays to open up the connection between the Southern Barbarians and the Middle Earth. , to resume the interrupted trade.
"But the most urgent thing now is to return to the Miao Immortal Sect." Lu Zhong suddenly smiled.
The East China Sea trade, which brings huge profits every year, must be an indispensable resource channel even for a big force like Guimiao Immortal Sect.
Changing places.
Lu Zhong thought to himself that if something like this happened to him, he would most likely ask the Supreme Master of Transformation to kill the Great Sage Li Hai who was blocking the way.
After all, every day the trade in the East China Sea is cut off, millions of spiritual stones are lost, which is related to the interests of the entire Central-Earth Southern Sect.
"Once Taizun Luoying takes action, will he come by and crush this 'little bug' like me?"
He quickly thought of this possibility.
Although unlikely.
To be cautious, Lu Zhong decided to hide for a while.
…
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the name of avoiding trouble, Lu Zhong took Yu Feng'er and Shui Ni together, but he was happy for a while.
Just as I guessed before.
The appearance of the Great Sage Lihai really blocked the East China Sea route.
But what Lu Zhong didn't expect was that the Guimiao Immortal Sect had not taken any action, as if they were indifferent to the matter, and actually sat back and watched the trade in the East China Sea be interrupted.
Until a ship arrived that took the risk of taking a detour to the boundless sea and survived.
Only then did we know the reason.
In the Bihai Palace, Lu Zhong took over the incarnation.
Because the matter was so important, the escort team of the sea ship was invited.
He is a black-faced alchemy monk.
Looking at the man standing uneasily below, although Lu Zhong's expression seemed calm and composed, in fact, he felt that what this man said was quite ridiculous.
He couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure that the Middle-earth side is really in chaos because of the 'lost soul syndrome'?"
No wonder Lu Zhong found it ridiculous.
After all, in his opinion, aphansia is just a strange disease.
As a place where immortality flourishes, Middle-earth has at least three god-transforming monks in charge. How could he fall into chaos because of a strange disease?
"Junior, I am sure that if you make false statements, you will be punished by the heavenly calamity!" Hei Mianjiedan vowed, and handed over a white jade slip, explaining: "This is a rumored jade slip, which is specially used to record interesting anecdotes of the Southern Sect. , there is a record of soullessness in it, seniors can tell it at a glance."
Lu Zhong knew that the jade slips were made by middle-earth monks to relieve their boredom. In his previous life, he was actually a "newspaper".
When I took it and took a look, I saw that there was indeed a long paragraph describing "Asoria".
The so-called amnesia.
It refers to the disease of the body losing its soul.
The onset of Aphania is sudden, and the specific cause is unknown. The symptoms are quite obvious, and the affected person will become violent and aggressive. Then, with the purpose of robbing the living soul, they will attack the soul-owning creatures until their life is ended.
If you absorb a large number of souls, you will not die.
Over time, the strength will actually improve and become stronger.
Some sick high-level monks will retain part of their previous cultivation and even part of their fighting experience. After absorbing a large number of souls, they will become extremely difficult to deal with.
Regarding the cause of this strange disease, the compiler monk attributed it to the manifestation vision of Naihe caused by the ascension of the Youxuan Dao Sect's transformation god a while ago. It is believed that it was the manifestation of Naihe in the world that caused the souls of a large number of monks and mortals to disappear, eventually triggering the great chaos that swept through Middle-earth.
Looking at the contents of the jade slip, Lu Zhong had no choice but to believe that the sudden appearance of the soul-losing disease had indeed caused chaos in Middle-earth.
Gui Miao Xianzong probably had no time to distract him because of the fire in the backyard.
"Is this a disaster caused by the misuse of Naihe's power?" Lu Zhong had expected this, but never imagined that it would be realized in this way.
The disease of soullessness is so weird that it can not only infect mortals and low-level monks.
Even the Lianjie Dan monks have cases of the disease.
But then again, Lu Zhong felt that the truth was definitely not as simple as he thought.
How could such a huge world of immortality cause such a serious disaster because of the misuse of the Cina River? There should be a deeper reason behind the emergence of the soul-losing syndrome.
Bad news comes one after another.
But the good news is not without it. At least I heard that the Jade Slip clearly pointed out that the soul-losing syndrome cannot yet affect the Nascent Soul monks, and the reason is because of the Yuan Shen.
"What a troubled time!" Lu Zhong sighed.
…
About aphantasia and identification of symptoms.
Lu Zhong had no reservations about this and announced everything. Regardless of the Southern Barbarian sects and families, after learning that the soul-losing disease caused chaos in Middle-earth, what views and attitudes did they hold on this matter.
He didn't care at all.
When the sky falls, there is a high one to hold it up.
After it was determined that there was a fire in the backyard of Guimiao Xianzong, he would not be able to spare time for a while.
Lu Zhong was able to relax temporarily.
On the one hand, he sent his avatar to the high wall of Heaven.
Begin to set up a teleportation array, hoping to reconnect with the southern barbarians of the Middle Earth, so that they can use such a secret passage to know the news from the Middle Earth. Incidentally, it is also to establish channels to obtain indispensable spiritual items from China.
On the other hand, Lu Zhong also began to take precautions.
The emergence of aphansia made him feel a strong crisis.
The frequent occurrence of various disasters makes this world feel like a leaky broken ship.
I don’t know when I will be overwhelmed by disaster.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong suddenly had an enlightenment and suddenly understood something. He couldn't help but think: "The gods in this world who were originally content with the status quo are all beginning to rush to ascend. I'm afraid they didn't notice something in advance!"
