Shendou Continent

Chapter 163 Visiting the South China Sea
Hangjing in August is the season of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in Manjuelong area is even more windy and intoxicating.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and under a thousand-year-old golden osmanthus tree in Shangmanjuelong, a man and a woman were cuddling each other and whispering.

And these young men and women, aren't they Chen Xiaodong and Zheng Shuyan?

Since Lin You went to Hangzhou two years ago to cure Chen Xiaodong's hidden illness, his cultivation has not only broken the bottleneck, but also has formed a special complementarity with his own soul power through the effect of deer and Shu horns, making his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, and has been continuously improved for two years Level 9, breaking through the Brahma Realm in a very short period of time, can be said to have created a miracle in the Hangjing Jiangwu Academy.

Chen Xiaodong didn't know why this happened, but after the inspection by the teacher of the Jiangwu University Hall, he should have obtained some kind of fortune unintentionally.Maybe this deer horn is unusual, maybe it just happens to be especially suitable for him.After the hidden disease was repaired, his cultivation foundation was also strengthened, and the effects of the medicine spar he had taken for many years were also digested.Coupled with the accumulation of years of practice, he was able to achieve nine consecutive jumps in just two years after breaking through the bottleneck.Although he is still far behind Lin Youdai Ming, and can't even be compared with Chen Jiao, this speed of improvement is enough to make people look at him with admiration.

After reaching Brahma Realm, Chen Xiaodong naturally had to bid farewell to the lecture hall.Originally, according to the recommendation of the Jiangwu Academy, the imperial court intended to let Chen Xiaodong enter the Academy, but Chen Xiaodong declined the school's kindness and said goodbye to the Zheng brothers and sisters. A trip to the mainland.

In the past few years, Zheng Shuyan has helped him a lot, at first because of sympathy, nostalgia and friendship.Later, after getting along for a long time, she gradually discovered the value of his loyalty, and the love that develops over time is the feeling of admiration.Gradually, the two got closer and closer.It's just that Zheng Shuyan's soul power cultivation is only level 35, and she has not graduated from the Jiangwu University, nor has she reached the usual standard of mainland training, so she decided to stay in the school to practice.

On the eve of parting, when the lovers meet each other, they are reluctant to part with each other. There are endless things to say and endless heartfelt feelings.However, the future is far away, and the love of children can only be put aside...

Leaving Hangjing and walking through his hometown, Chen Xiaodong headed south all the way, stop and go, and finally arrived at a village on the South China Sea—Xiangcun after more than three months.

He heard that from Xiangcun, far away from the sea, there is a mysterious underwater cave, where a group of merman with human body and fish tail live. There is a record in "God Fighting Ghosts": "There are sharks outside the South China Sea. They live in water like fish, and they don't waste their weaving achievements. Their eyes can produce pearls when they cry." That is to say, sharks are good at weaving, and their tears turn into pearls. .There is a rumor in Shendou that "the pearl of the moon in the sea has tears", which refers to the shark's tears. This kind of teardrop is better than the night pearl, and it can be said to be invaluable.However, what is more attractive than teardrops is the dragon silk woven by the sharks, which can enter the water without getting wet, and the top-level dragon silk is said to have the function of invisibility.Therefore, throughout the ages, countless people with lofty ideals from the mainland have come to the South China Sea one after another, constantly exploring this underwater cave.However, the sea is vast and the road is dangerous. Except for the records in the biography, few people have actually seen the merman in reality, let alone the merman teardrops and dragon silk.Therefore, there are far fewer fighters visiting now, but there are still some from time to time.

Xiangcun belongs to the Guangnan Province of the Nanling Empire, and is a small fishing village on the southern border of the Guangnan Province.There are only dozens of households in He Village, and most of them live by fishing. This is a bit like Li Long Village where Lin You lived, but life is better than Li Long Village.The village is full of osmanthus trees. These osmanthus trees can bloom all year round in the warm climate of the south. The nearby villagers call them Sijigui.Because the sweet-scented osmanthus in the village is fragrant all the year round, the village is called Xiangcun.

When Chen Xiaodong first arrived in Guangnan, it was already winter months, but the weather here was as warm as spring, which made Chen Xiaodong very novel. The vast landmass was also an eye-opener.However, there are many smoky places in the Guangnan area, which makes him very uncomfortable.After finally finding Xiangcun, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the time passed quickly.Although he was far away from Hangjing all the way, he also missed his lover all the way, but he still has nothing to do now, so he has to do something before he can go back and see Shu Yan again.

The winter in Xiangcun is like the autumn in Hangjing, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers all over the courtyard are also wafting with fragrance, which is more like the appearance of Hangjing, even the fragrance of this flower is also a taste.Living in a farmyard in Xiangcun, Chen Xiaodong often indulges in the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.He settled down and rested in the village for a period of time. During this time, he also met a few fighters who had arrived in Xiangcun and planned to explore further in the South China Sea. All of them were newcomers to the Brahma Realm, and they all had a curiosity of yearning for mysterious places.This is also good, walking together or taking care of each other.

About ten days after Chen Xiaodong arrived in Xiangcun, everyone was ready to leave.

On the appointed day of departure, the genius was dim, and everyone came to a brig at the fishing port by the village one after another.When everyone arrived, the boss of the boat gave the order to sail, and the two sailors were rowing on both sides, and the two sailors were adjusting the direction of the sail.The sail and manpower jointly push the sailboat forward and take them to the "beyond the South China Sea".

Standing at the bow of the boat, with the sea breeze blowing on his face, Chen Xiaodong saw the familiar sea again.

All the way to the south, the boat sailed for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at an uninhabited island.The boat boss introduced that this is Dongtou Island, which is only one or two miles in length and width. There is a coconut grove in the middle, which is full of coconut trees. It is said that the underwater cave can be found from the coconut grove in the middle.The boss of the ship made an agreement with the few of them that the ship would wait here for three days, and return to the mainland after three days.

After making an appointment on a date, everyone brought their own dry food and searched for the cave separately.

There were five cave fighters this time. At the beginning, they headed in the same direction, and soon found the cave in the coconut grove.But this cave extends in all directions after entering, with many forks, a bit like the Lost Realm Cave of Wuyunmen.These few people have no foundation of trust in themselves, and they have to guard against each other when they travel across the mainland.So, each of them chose a different fork to find each other, and soon separated.

Chen Xiaodong chose a fork in the middle to enter. He heard Lin You talk about the maze of Wuyunmen, so he naturally dealt with it carefully.All the way to the south, relying on the donation from King Huai, it was good for him to stay in a hotel on the way, but when he arrived at Xiangcun, after a lot of tossing, he almost ran out of money.However, he bought a water-proof bead with a lot of money near Xiangcun. It is said that he can stay in the water for an hour if he is persuaded. He wants to visit the deep cave in the South China Sea, so this object is naturally necessary.

Chen Xiaodong walked all the way into the cave, the light became darker and darker, and the road became darker and darker.Soon, he took out the torch from his pocket and lit the torch he had prepared in advance.The firelight illuminates the deep cave, and the figure dances in the firelight, bringing a sense of movement.There is nothing unusual in the cave, not even spirit beasts, insects and snakes.After walking for a long time, he heard the sound of water flowing in the cave. Could it be that he has reached the bottom of the sea?

Following the sound of water, Chen Xiaodong quickly saw water, gradually, it was a stream, and then, at the end of the stream was a pool.Could it be that the underwater cave is here?
Chen Xiaodong hesitated, carefully observing the surroundings of the pool, there were still some wet blood stains, and some relics such as broken swords and hidden weapons, all rusty.Obviously, there have been human footprints and dangers here.He turned around by the pool, checked repeatedly, and found nothing more than these clues.

Chen Xiaodong grew up by the sea and knew water well since he was a child. Now that he has come here, he thought he might as well go down and have a look.Thinking of this, he jumped into the pool without taking off his clothes.

Sure enough, the water pool here has a unique cave, the water system under it is connected with each other, there are holes in the pool, and there are many forks in the cave, and each small entrance is connected to the outside world, just like a coconut forest cave placed under the water.Chen Xiaodong immediately swallowed the water-repellent beads, and continued to swim towards a fork in the middle.

This time, he swam for a long time. At first there was light and shadow in the cave, and then it gradually became darker until it was completely dark...

He groped in the dark for a long time, and finally, he saw the light again.Swimming forward again, a colorful underwater world began to unfold in front of his eyes...
