The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 420 The sea overturns

There are no horses on Five Elements Island. In this archipelago environment, there is no need for horses, and naturally there are no carriages.

However, in order to welcome the guests, the owner of Muzhen Island prepared chariots for them.

Everyone rode on the chariot and after passing through the canyon, a huge plain appeared in front of them.

In the center of the plain, a city stood.

Gu Qingcai walked in the front, followed closely by Taoist Mu Zhen, accompanying Zhenru and others. At this time, he stretched out his hand and said, "This is the 'Auspicious City' of Muzhen Island."

There are more than 20 islands in Wuxing Island, with Muzhen Island being the largest.

Only Muzhen Island has a city.

From the perspective of everyone in Lu Qian, the scale of Jiri City is not large, which is equivalent to a county town on the mainland. However, the city wall is very tall and the defense facilities are complete. It is more of a military fortress than a city.

On the mainland, fortresses will only be built in dangerous border areas.

It would be a bit strange to build such a city on the island.

Taoist Mu Zhen said: "This auspicious city was jointly built by the five islands. Whenever a tide of beasts attacks, the people on the island will be sent to this city in advance to avoid being poisoned by sea beasts. The island has limited resources and can only build Such a city makes you laugh."

Taoist Zhenru smiled and said: "What Brother Tao said, to us people, what does a mere city mean? The rare things on your Five Elements Island are what we envy."

While chatting, everyone came out of the canyon, but instead of going down the mountain to Jiri City, they turned to the left.

On the left, at the waist of the mountain, there is a sunken flat ground where a cluster of buildings sits.

Everyone walked along the foot of the mountain, winding up the mountain, and came to this building complex.

A gate stands across the middle of the mountain road, with three characters "Qiongtai Palace" written on it.

Everyone has known for a long time that this "Qiongtai Palace" is a Taoist temple on Mu Zhen Island, and the owner of the temple is Taoist Mu Zhen.

Taoist temples always like to be built on mountains, and they must be on the peaks of high mountains.

Although this "Qiongtai Palace" is also built on a mountain, it is located on the mountainside and on the shady side of the mountain. It seems to be deliberately avoiding the sea.

Muzhen Island is surrounded by mountains and has only a few tidal flats. This circle of mountains is naturally the city wall of Muzhen Island, tightly surrounding the entire island.

If the entire Muzhen Island is counted as a city, the "Jiri City" on the island is actually more like an inner city.

The mountains on the west side are all bare rocks when viewed from the outside, but from the inside, the mountains are covered with trees and are lush.

In addition to the entire rice fields, the plains at the foot of the mountains are also covered with trees.

Due to terrain limitations, the area of ​​"Qiongtai Palace" is not large, and it is incomparable to Taoist temples such as Qingxuan Temple.

However, although the pavilions and pavilions in the temple are not big, they are all elegant. The main hall in the center is even more decorated with pearls and corals, which is full of maritime style and unique compared to the mainland.

There is a long table in the hall, which is already covered with delicacies.

After everyone pushed and pushed, Taoist Zhenru finally took the seat at the head of the guests; while Gu Qingcai took the seat at the front instead of Mu Zhen, the island owner.

After sitting down, Gu Qingcai raised his wine glass and said, "This is my first glass of wine to honor our guests from afar."

Everyone had traveled all the way to Five Elements Island, where could they think of drinking? However, they couldn't comment too much on their master's arrangements, so they had to be patient. After three glasses of wine, Taoist Zhenru couldn't help but ask: "What did you say in the previous letter?"

They will come to Wuxing Island all because of a letter sent from Wuxing Island to the mainland.

That letter was written by Taoist Mu Zhen himself and sent to the imperial court and Qingxuan Temple by his disciples. Lu Qian also saw the letter after boarding the ship. The content of the letter was very short, with only a few sentences. It meant that their Five Elements Island had discovered traces of Liuyun Sword Immortal and asked them to send experts to Five Elements Island as soon as possible to investigate together. .

Moreover, the letter also emphasized: "The Liuyun Sword Immortal may have discovered a way to deal with the red moon. This trip is related to the life and death of billions of creatures in the world."

It can be said that this sentence sent the six of them to Five Elements Island.

Zhong Simei couldn't help but ask: "Your letter said, 'Sword Immortal Liuyun may have discovered a way to deal with the red moon.' What is the truth? What have you discovered?"

Gu Qingcai held the wine glass in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said to his left hand: "Senior Brother Li, you were an eyewitness to the incident at that time, and you have the clearest idea of ​​what happened, so let me tell you."

The "Senior Brother Li" mentioned by Gu Qingcai is named Li Deyu, and he looks to be in his fifties but not yet sixty years old.

Although he was Gu Qingcai's senior brother and much older than him, he still gave Gu Qingcai a respectful fist and said, "Yes, the island master."

Then, Li Deyu faced Lu Qian and others and said, "This matter must start three hundred years ago..."

Upon hearing "three hundred years ago", Taoist Zhenru immediately frowned.

Lu Qian understood that three hundred years ago, it was the time when Liuyun Sword Immortal went to sea.

Sure enough, Li Deyu said: "One day more than three hundred years ago, the Earth Immortal Liuyun Sword Immortal came to our Five Elements Island and said he wanted to go to the East China Sea to explore.

At that time, my master, Taoist Shui He, was still young, but he also accompanied his master and had the honor to meet this earthly immortal..."

Hearing this sentence, everyone's expression changed suddenly!

So, isn't this "Shuihe Taoist" already over three hundred years old?

In the cave-underworld realm, you can’t live more than three hundred years!

It can be seen that this Shuihe Taoist is not only certain to reach at least the third-level Dharma Realm, but he may have been promoted to the Dharma Realm two hundred years ago!

Is the Dharma Realm that existed two hundred years ago still the Dharma Realm today?

Although it is said that with the depletion of spiritual energy in this world, it is almost impossible for Shuihe Taoist to advance to Earth Immortal, but...

In two hundred years, it is still possible to reach the second-grade heaven and human realm.

Everyone here, including Taoist Zhenru, had heard of Taoist Master Shuihe for a long time, but none of them expected that he would be a person from three hundred years ago.

Zhong Simei looked at Zhenru and indicated with her eyes: "Let me ask, what state is Shuihe Taoist in now?"

Taoist Zhenru's face was as dark as water, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head imperceptibly.

It is a big taboo to ask others about their cultivation level.

Especially, people like Shuihe Taoist.

How could Taoist Zhenru not understand this even after living for such a long time? Of course he would not be instigated by a junior like Zhong Simei.

Moreover, Taoist Zhenru gave Zhong Simei a very stern look and warned her not to talk nonsense.

Although there is only one level between the third-level Dharma Realm and the fourth-level Cave Underworld, the difference in strength is huge.

In the heart of Zhenru Taoist, the difference between the two is very clear. Even if it is an ordinary third-grade Dharma realm, it is not something that the so-called "top masters of Dali" can handle. What's more, a person who is suspected of being in the second-grade heavenly realm and has lived for two to three hundred years!

Once they annoy the other party, they will report it to Five Elements Island before the red moon comes.

Li Deyu said: "Before Liuyun Sword Immortal left, he once said that there were at least one or twenty powerful Earth Immortals in the past who had left the East China Sea and were never seen again. The main reason why he went out to sea this time was It is to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of earthly immortals throughout the ages and see if we can find some clues.

Moreover, Liuyun Sword Immortal also agreed that no matter whether he found anything or not, he would return within three years at the latest. "

For the rest, Li Deyu hadn't said anything yet and everyone understood that Liuyun Sword Immortal had not come back for three hundred years.

"My master once said that in the three years since then, Wuxing Island has also sent people to the East China Sea to investigate. It is a pity that these ancestors who went to investigate were just like the Liuyun Sword Immortal. After they left, , and there is no trace of it anymore.”

After saying that, Li Deyu sighed softly.

Those who dared to go out to explore the East China Sea on Wuxing Island were naturally the top experts on the island. The losses this time were not small.

Taoist Zhenru is an impatient person. Hearing this, he could no longer hold back and asked: "Then, why three hundred years later..."

Li Deyu stretched out his hand to stop Taoist Zhenru from saying anything, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhenru, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say."

Zhenru Taoist showed his unswerving expression, but he had no choice but to hold back.

Li Deyu continued: "About a month ago, I led a few disciples to patrol the open sea on a fast boat to check the activities of sea beasts. When we traveled more than a thousand miles eastward, the originally clear sky suddenly changed. There were dark clouds, a hurricane suddenly struck, and the entire sea area started to fluctuate violently."

After speaking, Li Deyu said to Taoist Zhenru and others: "You have never lived at sea, and you don't know much about the situation at sea. The sea is different from the inland. Sudden weather changes and hurricanes and wolves are also common. We all have this too. Countermeasures. However, what we didn’t expect was that the changes in sea conditions we faced this time were unprecedented in thousands of years..."

Hearing this, the owner of Mu Zhen Island also nodded and said: "The sudden change in sea conditions even affected our Mu Zhen Island, which is thousands of miles away. Now that I think about it, I still have lingering fears. Junior Brother Li can escape and come back. , what a miracle!”

Li Deyu nodded and said: "Yes, now that I think about it, maybe it is God's blessing. Fortunately, God may not protect our lives..."

Hearing Li Deyu's last words, Lu Qian was slightly surprised: "It seems that they really got something useful from Five Elements Island. Is there really a clue to avoid the Red Moon Disaster?"

Li Deyu said: "At that time, the sudden strong winds and huge waves could not do anything to us, so we dealt with it as usual, finally stabilized the ship, and prepared to return. However, at this moment, my disciple Yi Xiuhai suddenly pointed to the southeast Fang, exclaimed loudly, 'What is this?'

I followed the direction of his finger and saw a huge wall of water suddenly appeared in the dark southeast, spanning the boundless sea. "

"Water wall?"

Zhong Simei asked curiously: "How come there is a wall of water on this sea?"

Lu Qian said: "The 'water wall' that Director Li mentioned is a huge wave, right?"

Li Deyu looked at Lu Qian, with a look of admiration on his face, and nodded: "What Mr. Lu said is true, that wall of water is indeed a wave. It's just that this wave is boundless, wide and straight to the sky, at least no less than a hundred feet high. !”

Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard that a huge wave with a height of a hundred feet suddenly appeared on the sea.

It’s hard to imagine how Li Deyu and the others came back alive.

"What's even more terrible is that at almost the same time, the sea level in the east suddenly became lower."

Taoist Zhenkai opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Why did the sea level suddenly become lower?"

Li Deyu heard Taoist Zhenhai's words and did not answer him. Instead, he looked at Lu Qian and asked with interest: "Does Mr. Lu know the reason?"

Lu Qian said in a deep voice: "Could it be that a large whirlpool appeared on the sea in the east and the sea water leaked down?"

After hearing this, Li Deyu showed a look of surprise on his face and said: "I have lived at sea all my life, and I never thought of this truth at the time. Mr. Lu has such knowledge at such a young age, which really impresses the old Taoist."

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd and sighed: "There are still so many talented people on the mainland!"

Taoist Zhenhai was even more surprised and said: "Seawater... Where can seawater leak to?"

Taoist Zhenru glared at his junior brother and scolded: "You care where the sea water leaked to? Listen to Taoist Li."

Li Deyu's story about his mother-in-law and mother-in-law never paid attention to the main point, which has obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of Taoist Zhenru.

Li Deyu seemed completely unaware that the Taoist's scolding just now was actually aimed at him. He continued to sigh: "Brother Zhenhai Taoist asked a good question. Yes, in the vast sea, where can this seawater leak to? Could it be that it can also leak to the ground?"

The owner of Mu Zhen Island suddenly coughed slightly, interrupting Li Deyu's sigh, and said: "Let me tell you the next thing. The situation at that time was that the entire sea surface was bulging upward in the southeast direction and overturning in the northwest direction. The entire sea , as if it was about to 'turn'.

Of course, Junior Brother Li and his crew could no longer control their boat and slid northeast along the sea water.

This trip actually lasted a day and a night. It was not until the morning of the next day that it became clear again. However, at this time, they also reached the edge of a huge whirlpool. They took a boat and followed the whirlpool, sliding down towards the center. About to fall into the center of the bottomless vortex. "

Li Deyu couldn't help but interjected: "Looking back now, that scene is still before my eyes. The center of the huge vortex is extremely dark, like the gate of hell. Just taking a look at it is frightening.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly flew out from the center of the vortex and flew into the sky.

I took a closer look and saw that the golden light seemed to be one thing. It was square and slightly larger than a palm. It was exuding golden light. It was extraordinary at first glance.

This object flew out from the center of the endless deep whirlpool. It was definitely not an ordinary thing. I didn't think much about it at that time. I immediately jumped up and flew out of the whirlpool. I caught up with the thing emitting golden light and grabbed it with one hand. Its a catch.

At this time, our ship was also swallowed up by the center of the dark vortex. "

After saying this, Li Deyu raised his head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Pity my few disciples... ugh..."

Zhong Simei couldn't help but ask: "What is that thing emitting golden light?"

Li Deyu did not answer her directly, but continued: "At that time, I thought, it doesn't matter if I leave my life here, but I must bring back what happened here, otherwise, I, Li Deyu, will become the world's worst The number one sinner.

Then, with the help of a flying magic weapon from my sect, I tried my best to fly back to Mu Zhen Island. "

Taoist Mu Zhen sighed: "Junior Brother Li returned to Mu Zhen Island. The true spirit energy in his body has been completely exhausted. It took more than twenty days of rest before he recovered. Junior Brother Li, take out that thing and give it to Taoist Master Zhenru." Let them take a look?"

"it is good."

Li Deyu took out a square golden object from his arms, held it with both hands very cautiously, and then pushed it forward gently. The object flew across the table and flew towards Zhenru.

This thing is slightly larger than a palm, golden in color, and as thin as paper.

Zhong Simei couldn't help but asked again: "What is this?"

Li Deyu sighed: "It's a letter. It's a letter... three hundred years late."
