Xiang Yunwen and Bu Xiaotian said goodbye to Situ Xue, and then headed south with their swords non-stop.
Although the search for the Fire Spirit is destined to take a long time, the two of them still want to rush to the South China Sea as soon as possible. The sooner they refine the Tianbu Dan, the sooner they can cure Cheng Yunliang.
Ten days later, the two entered the boundaries of Haizhou and approached Haizhou City, which is adjacent to the South China Sea.
In order not to attract others' attention, Bu Xiaotian and Xiang Yunwen dropped their swords dozens of miles away from Haizhou City and walked into the city instead.
It is now the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, it is already the middle of winter in the north, but Haizhou is still very warm.
It has been five years since Bu Xiaotian last came here.
Five years is neither short nor long, and Haizhou City has not changed much.
Although Xiang Yunwen is much older than Bu Xiaotian, this is his first time here. Looking at the tall city wall that almost surrounds the entire coast, his eyes are filled with wonder.
He looked at Bu Xiaotian beside him and asked with some confusion:
"Junior brother, why don't we just enter the South China Sea with our swords?"
Bu Xiaotian looked at the familiar Haizhou City and replied:
"Elder brother, the South China Sea is extremely vast, and there are many powerful sea tribes in it. We don't know much about the situation in the South China Sea, so we'd better go to Haizhou City to inquire about it first."
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's words, Xiang Yunwen showed admiration on his face, nodded and said:
"Well, my junior brother is really attentive. Although I have traveled to some places before, this is my first time in the South China Sea. This time I will completely follow your arrangements."
Being praised by Xiang Yunwen, Bu Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said:
"Actually, I didn't just come to the city to inquire about news. I took in a disciple before and she is in the city now. I want to see her."
Xiang Yunwen was a little surprised this time. He had learned about Bu Xiaotian's affairs before, but this was the first time he heard about Bu Xiaotian's disciples. He asked curiously:
"I didn't expect you, junior brother, to have a disciple at such a young age. You are the first among our senior brothers to accept a disciple! But since she is your disciple, why didn't you take her back to Yuxu Sect to practice?"
Bu Xiaotian explained:
"It was also a coincidence back then. My disciple was born with a body of fire spirit, and he did not practice the Yuxu Sect's mental method.
Senior brother must also know that natural alien bodies like the fire spirit body are born with more innate energy than ordinary people.
But this is not a good thing for them. Instead, the extra innate energy will disrupt the balance of yin and yang and the five elements in the body, and most of them will die young.
By chance, I had previously acquired a mental technique that could only be practiced by those born with alien bodies, but it could also eliminate the hidden dangers caused by those born with alien bodies in their bodies, so I passed it on to her in order to save her.
And later we found traces of the demon sect demon, and it would be dangerous to take her with us, so we left her in Haizhou City. "
After listening to Bu Xiaotian's explanation, Xiang Yunwen showed a look of realization. He had also heard about the situation of congenital alien bodies. Even for practitioners like them, it was almost a terminal disease, but he never expected that there would be such a strange thing in the world. mentality.
Couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Oh, that's it. I didn't expect that there is a method in this world that can cure congenital abnormalities!"
As for the fact that Bu Xiaotian has other mental methods, he doesn't care very much. The Yuxu Sect has sect rules that prohibit disciples from practicing other mental methods privately, but the main purpose is to prevent those disciples who are not at the level of "Refining God" Because of the conflict of mental methods, he became obsessed.
Moreover, since the war between good and evil 160 years ago, this rule has not been so strict due to some secrecy.
Even if it is known that the disciple has practiced other mental methods, as long as the mental method is not a sorcery and the practicing disciple has not gone crazy, there will be no punishment in the sect.
After walking for a while, Xiang Yunwen asked again:
"Junior brother, where is your disciple?"
Hearing Xiang Yunwen's question, Bu Xiaotian seemed to have remembered something, and said in a somewhat unnatural tone:
"In a flower building in the city."
"Flower House?"
Hearing Bu Xiaotian tell the place, Xiang Yunwen's face showed surprise. How could he not know where Hualou was?
He stopped, with a serious look on his face, and asked:
"Why would you go to a place like that?"
When Bu Xiaotian saw Xiang Yunwen stop, and looked at his face again, he knew that he must have misunderstood, and immediately explained:
"Elder brother, you have misunderstood. This is what happened..."
Soon, Bu Xiaotian told the story about the city lord's son.
After Bu Xiaotian finished telling what happened, Xiang Yunwen softened his expression and knew that he had wrongly blamed Bu Xiaotian.
He was not a person who never corrected his mistakes, so he said to Bu Xiaotian:
"I'm sorry, little junior brother, I misunderstood you."
Of course Bu Xiaotian would not get angry with his senior brother over such a trivial matter, he shook his head and said:
"It's okay, Senior Brother."
Xiang Yunwen thought about what Xiaotian had just said, and sighed with some regret:
"Well, all things have animism. The city lord's son did indeed go too far. The fox demon must have been in great pain after losing his child. In the end, he chose to jump into the lava to kill himself after taking revenge, right?"
Bu Xiaotian thought of the fox demon's determination at that time, and felt a trace of sadness in his heart, followed by a moment of silence.
Soon, the two entered the city.
Xiang Yunwen looked at the figures coming and going around him with some surprise on his face, and couldn't help but ask:
"Junior brother, this Haizhou City should be a human city, and it was built to guard against sea monsters. How come there are so many sea monsters in the city?"
Although the people around him were all dressed up as ordinary people and looked the same as ordinary people, Xiang Yunwen's cultivation level revealed at a glance that less than half of them were monsters. They were either transformed into human forms or transformed with the help of illusions. into human form.
How could Bu Xiaotian not see the problem that Xiang Yunwen could see?
However, there was no surprise or nervousness on his face, but a trace of relaxation. Seeing Xiang Yunwen's puzzled look, he explained:
"Senior brother, I don't know that the Nanhai Mermaid clan was originally the royal family of the South China Sea, but because the sacred artifact was stolen more than two thousand years ago, they lost control of the Nanhai Hai clan.
Five years ago, several companions and I went to sea to help the Shark Clan recover their sacred weapon, the Triblade. The Shark Clan became the royal family of the sea again.
The ancestors of the shark clan are actually humans, so they have no hatred towards humans.
Moreover, the human race needs some treasures from the sea, and the sea tribe also likes some things from the human race. Compared with the casualties of robbing, the cost of exchange is smaller, so the sea tribe often exchanges materials with the human race.
And seeing that the Sea Clan and the Human Race are very peacefully getting along with each other in this city, it shows that the Sea Clan is completely under the control of the Shark Clan, which is also a good thing for us. "
Xiang Yunwen also understood after listening to Bu Xiaotian's explanation.
They are going to the South China Sea to look for fire spirits. There are two biggest dangers they face in the sea. One is the storm that may appear at any time on the sea, and the other is those powerful sea monsters.
Now that the Kraken and the humans live in harmony, the risk of their trip is much smaller.
Not long after, the two walked through several busy streets and came to an inconspicuous door in a small alley.
Seeing that he was led to what was obviously a back door, Xiang Yunwen rolled his eyes and figured out what Bu Xiaotian meant.
It was still broad daylight, so it was definitely not appropriate for others to see them entering the flower building. No one would see them if they entered through the back door.
Bu Xiaotian did not rely on his cultivation to climb over the wall and get in. Instead, he walked to the door and knocked.
"Who is it?"
As soon as Bu Xiaotian finished knocking on the door, an old voice came from inside.
After a moment, there was a creak and the door was opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was an old woman who looked to be in her fifties.
The old woman looked at the two impressive young men outside the door and was a little confused. She was about to ask them what they were doing, but a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly bowed down and said:
"Chang Immortal!"
Although five years have passed, she has rarely seen a few cultivators like Bu Xiaotian in her life, so naturally she will not forget his appearance easily.
Although Bu Xiaotian had white hair, his appearance had not changed much, so she only recognized it after being confused for a moment.
Bu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to support the old woman who wanted to kneel down, and said:
"Old lady, you don't have to be like this, we are here to see Twilight."
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's kind attitude, the old woman's nervousness dissipated a lot. She slowly shook her head and said:
"Chief Immortal, Miss Ziyue is no longer here.
After you left, Miss Ziyue lived here for two years.
But this place is not a clean place after all. The host sent her to the city lord three years ago. "
Knowing that Zi Yue was not here, Bu Xiaotian had no intention of going in. Without further delay, he thanked the old woman and walked towards the city lord's palace with Xiang Yunwen.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Zuo Canglan was looking at Zi Yue who was practicing in the courtyard, with a look of love on her face.
Five years ago, he lost his only son and fell into depression.
Until Ziyue was sent here three years ago, because she was Bu Xiaotian's disciple, he didn't arrange any other place for Ziyue and let her live in the city lord's mansion.
Unexpectedly, Twilight's lovable personality brought a ray of light to his gloomy heart.
Perhaps it was to fill the void in his heart, but after three years, he already loved Zi Yue as if he were his own daughter.
At this moment, a servant came to him quickly and whispered:
"Master, there is a young master named Bu Xiaotian outside who wants to see you."
When he heard Bu Xiaotian's name, his face was startled and he immediately said:
"Go and invite them in! Forget it, I'll greet them myself!"
Zuo Canglan was so excited not because of Bu Xiaotian's status as a disciple of Yuxu Sect, but because of Bu Xiaotian's help five years ago, and even more because he was Zi Yue's master.
He regards Zi Yue as his own. If it weren't for Bu Xiaotian, Zi Yue wouldn't be here with him. He has always been grateful to Bu Xiaotian in his heart.
Soon, Bu Xiaotian, who was waiting outside the city lord's mansion, saw Zuo Canglan walking out with a smile on his face.
Before Bu Xiaotian could speak, Zuo Canglan said with a smile:
"Little brother, long time no see!"
Then he discovered that Bu Xiaotian had a head full of white hair, and asked in surprise:
"What's going on with you?"
Of course Bu Xiaotian knew what Zuo Canglan was asking, but he didn't answer. Instead, he cupped his hands and said:
"I've met Lord Zuo. This is my senior brother Xiang Yunwen."
Xiang Yunwen waited for Bu Xiaotian to finish speaking, then he also raised his hands and said:
"Purple Thunder Peak disciple Xiang Yunwen has met the city lord."
Zuo Canglan also returned the greeting and said:
"You two don't have to be polite, just follow me in first."
When they arrived at the main hall and all three of them were seated, Bu Xiaocai said:
"City Lord, we came here this time to inquire about the situation in the South China Sea, and also to see Zi Yue. Where is Zi Yue?"
Zuo Canglan said:
"Twilight is practicing in the backyard. She should wake up soon. I'll have someone call her."
After saying that, he ordered the servant beside him to call Zi Yue, and then asked:
"You two are asking for news about the South China Sea. Are you planning to go to sea?"
