“Huahua…”
The fishy and salty sea breeze was blowing, and under the night sky, the dark blue sea was rushing towards the shore, hitting the dark black rocks, making bursts of noise.
At this moment, it is still night.
The moon in the sky was hanging obliquely over the sea, golden in color.
A blazing white light flashed, and the space above the entire island seemed to be distorted for a moment.
The white light dissipated.
Jianchou suppressed the dizziness and immediately looked around -
All the earth-shaking scenes just now have disappeared, replaced by the calm and vast ocean, the fishy and salty sea breeze, and occasionally the cries of seabirds.
There is no Fudaoshan people here.
An isolated island on the sea, surrounded by the vast ocean.
As far as the eye can see, there are only scattered trees on the island. Not far away there seems to be a naturally formed small stone stream. The water in the stream reflects the bright moon in the sky and has shallow ripples.
Jianchou's legs felt weak and he couldn't stand steadily.
The other four people who appeared here with her were not in much better condition. They all had pale faces. It was unknown whether it was because of the fright they had in the belly of Qingfeng Temple before, or because of the discomfort caused by the teleportation array.
"Sister Jianchou, are you okay?"
Nie Xiaowan, whose hand was still held in Jianchou's palm, felt Jianchou's trembling and weakness, and turned around to ask her.
Jianchou raised his hand and pressed his temple, then shook his head and said, "Not bad."
She didn't expect that Nie Xiaowan would actually take the initiative to talk to her, and she couldn't help but smile.
Nie Xiaowan blinked and said, "A normal person would feel uncomfortable when the teleportation array crosses the space. You should sit for a while. It will be fine after sitting for a while."
As she spoke, she reached out to hold Jianchou's arm, pointed to a huge rock not far from her feet, and motioned for Jianchou to sit down.
Jianchou was indeed a little unsteady on his feet. After hesitating for a while, he finally sat down.
"Thank you very much."
She thanked him lightly and turned to Nie Xiaowan.
Nie Xiaowan's ears turned red, a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Jianchou curiously for a long while, then looked away: "You seem different from the people I know."
"no the same?"
Jianchou didn't know what the person she knew was like, but...
"That's what I do anyway."
"… "
Nie Xiaowan parted her pink lips slightly and stared at Jianchou blankly, as if she had not expected her to say such a thing.
Jianchou didn't explain much, he just looked forward.
After experiencing the initial discomfort, Xu Lan'er, Zhang Sui and Zhou Kuang quickly recovered. There was nothing unusual on their faces. They just checked the island separately.
The three people went out in three different directions.
After a while, they came back.
Jianchou discovered that after the three people stood still, they looked at each other and their faces did not look very good.
"But what happened?"
The only people Jianchou was worried about now were Fudaoshan people. After all, they were in great crisis just a moment ago. Now that they have arrived on the island, all she needs to do is to wait here.
There's no point in worrying, after all, I can't help at all.
only…
It seems like Xu Lan'er and the others have encountered some trouble
Nie Xiaowan also noticed the abnormality discovered by Jianchou, so she turned her head and looked at them.
Xu Lan'er's face looked very ugly, Zhang Sui also pursed his lips tightly, his face was full of gloom, and Zhou Kuang scratched his head in strange and distress, and pounded the giant axe on the ground.
"I always feel like there's something wrong with this place... What should I do?"
The first sentence is an answer to Jianchou, while the second sentence is a question to everyone.
Xu Lan'er said with a sullen face: "The thirteen islands of the Immortal Road, we should have been teleported to the thirteenth island!"
"When the teleportation array was activated just now, that evil beast happened to crash into the gate of the hidden world. I'm afraid it caused a fluctuation and affected the original teleportation array. We were teleported to the wrong place." Zhang Sui spoke calmly. "When I was in the sect, I saw the map of the thirteen islands of the Immortal Road. This is the twelfth island, named Zhanye."
"Then we can get there if we continue walking east?"
Zhou Kuang understood it all at once and was extremely excited.
Jianchou on this side was confused and didn't quite understand.
Nie Xiaowan leaned in her ear and whispered, "In fact, if you go east from the mortal world and cross the sea, you can reach the Nineteen Continents. But many people get lost in the vast ocean, and the Thirteen Islands of the Immortal Road guide people in the right direction. Starting from the east coast of the isolated island on earth, there are thirteen larger islands, arranged in an east-west direction. If you walk through these thirteen islands, you will have the opportunity to seek immortals and ask for advice."
Therefore, ordinary people think that this is the road to immortality.
So it was called the Thirteen Islands of the Immortal Road.
Jianchou recalled the legends about fairy mountains overseas, and then looking at the isolated island under his feet, he vaguely understood.
Those stories that have been passed down for tens of millions of years are actually just the starting point of the road to immortality.
The fairy mountains and isolated islands are just the beginning of difficulties.
With Nie Xiaowan's introduction, Jianchou immediately understood their situation.
Originally, the teleportation array was going to teleport them to the last stop of the Immortal Road, so that they could easily reach the Nineteen Continents. However, they didn't expect the teleportation array to go wrong and leave them halfway. They had to go east and reach the next island before they could reach their original destination.
In other words, the place where Jianchou and Fudaoshanren agreed to meet was not here.
As she thought about it and looked around, she realized that she was facing a bigger dilemma at the moment.
While Jianchou was talking to Nie Xiaowan, the three people over there were also discussing countermeasures.
At this moment, Nie Xiaowan had finished speaking, Jianchou wanted to play, and the three people over there had also finished their discussion and were all walking towards this side.
Jianchou raised his head and looked at them.
Standing in the front is Xu Laner.
She lowered her head to look at Jianchou who was sitting on the ground, her eyes flickered to the nine-section green bamboo she was holding in her arms, and said, "Senior Sister, Junior Sister Nie, did you hear what we just said?"
Jianchou could tell that her calling her "Senior Sister" sounded very awkward and felt somewhat reluctant.
I felt strange for a moment, but Jianchou didn't say anything, just nodded.
Nie Xiaowan also said: "When I was in the sect, I also heard from the elders of the sect about the thirteen islands of the Immortal Road. I heard that only the thirteenth island has a teleportation array that goes directly to the nineteen continents. Now we are trapped here and don’t know anything about this Zhanye Island. If there is a teleportation array here, maybe we can avoid some trouble."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui is the person with the highest cultivation level and the broadest knowledge here, but he shook his head at this moment: "The teleportation array is only for cultivators in the 19th continent. Where would the 12th island have it? Even if it exists, I don't know. Let's think about how to get to the 13th island."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
There are five of them here, and all of them are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. How easy is it to safely cross the vast ocean
There are monsters lurking in the seabed. If you are unlucky and encounter a storm at sea, you will be swallowed up without leaving anything behind.
Zhou Kuang was more open-minded. He chuckled and touched his nose, saying, "There is really no other way. We can only fly over. After all, we are all cultivators in the foundation-building stage. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Cultivators in the foundation-building stage can use special magical instruments to fly. Zhou Kuang thought so and said so.
But the other people all looked hesitant.
Nie Xiaowan glanced at Jianchou quietly and said nothing.
Zhang Sui also seemed to want to ask something, but in the end he didn't.
In the end, Xu Lan'er didn't hesitate. She stepped forward with a smile on her face and asked Jianchou, "Several of us have reached the foundation-building stage, and we can fly with flying tools. I just don't know what realm Senior Sister Jianchou is at now. Can she use magic tools?"
Her realm
Jianchou had expected this to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
She glanced at Xu Lan'er and didn't lie: "Just barely able to cultivate Qi."
"… "
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"Ha, Qi training..."
Xu Lan'er really couldn't help laughing contemptuously, and her sarcasm finally became direct.
"Don't blame me, Senior Sister Jianchou. Now the five of us are trapped on this Zhanye Island. If we want to go to the Thirteenth Ascension Island, we must cross the sea to the east. Although Senior Sister is a disciple of Yashan, our cultivation is insignificant after all. It is difficult to cross the sea alone, let alone bring someone with us? Now it is difficult to deal with."
This is extremely harsh, but it is also true.
Jianchou has just embarked on the path of cultivation and her skills are insignificant. Although she has the protection of Fudaoshanren and the seemingly powerful Yashan signboard, she can still prevent others from looking down on her because of her weak strength.
What's more, nowadays
To put it bluntly, this is a time when everyone is trying to escape, and my existence is undoubtedly a burden to them.
When disaster strikes, even husband and wife fly away like birds in the forest, let alone these partners who are already incompatible in appearance
Jianchou still remembered the sword that Xie Buchen pierced his heart with, and now he doesn't expect others to help him with anything.
She supported herself on the nine-section bamboo and slowly stood up. Her slender body straightened up, and she was actually taller and straighter than Xu Lan'er.
Looking at Xu Lan'er, Jianchou smiled and said, "Junior Sister Xu is right. You and I have no causal relationship. It's just that my senior master has rescued you. My master and I agreed that he would come to find me in two days. Although the location is slightly different from the original one, I don't think it's a big deal. If I go with you, I will be a burden, so I won't drag you down."
What he said was very clear. Jianchou was not determined to follow them.
She thought that the nine-section bamboo given to her by Fudao Mountain Man must have a deep meaning. After all, it was Fudao Mountain Man’s magic weapon, and perhaps he could use it to find her. Since others did not welcome her, she did not need to go there shamelessly.
The important thing is that Jianchou doesn't like Xu Lan'er's personality and style.
After hearing Jianchou's words, the other people looked at each other in confusion.
Zhou Kuang was a man who had no idea what to do. He looked at Zhang Sui on the left and Xu Lan'er on the right. Seeing that one of them was silent and the other had a sneer on his face, he didn't know who to ask.
Turning his eyes, he suddenly found that the little girl Nie Xiaowan was biting her lips, as if she had an idea.
Zhou Kuang's eyes lit up involuntarily, and he leaned forward and asked, "Junior Sister Xiaowan, what do you think?"
Nie Xiaowan glanced at Xu Lan'er, then looked at Jianchou who had an indifferent expression.
Just now in the belly of Qingfeng Temple, the ground was shaking, and this senior sister who was only at the Qi Refining Stage actually pulled me up when I was standing unsteadily...
Pursing her lips, Nie Xiaowan blinked her watery eyes and spoke timidly, "Senior Sister Jianchou is a disciple of Yashan, and was brought here by the hermit. The hermit saved our lives. Moreover, without the help of Senior Sister Jianchou, we would not even be able to reach Zhanye Island. We might have died outside the hidden realm of Qingfeng Temple. No matter what, Senior Sister Jianchou has done us a favor. I don't think we should abandon her and go alone."
"What do you mean by that?"
Xu Lan'er's face suddenly changed. She put one hand on her waist and asked with gritted teeth.
Zhang Sui and Zhou Kuang looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while.
Jianchou was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that at the critical moment, the person standing next to him among a group of strangers would be this little girl.
This was different from the result she expected.
Seeing that Xu Lan'er seemed like she was ready to take action at any time, Jianchou felt a little worried and looked at Nie Xiaowan.
Unexpectedly, Nie Xiaowan didn't look scared at all.
She frowned tightly, looked at Xu Lan'er with disapproval in her eyes, and said stiffly: "Senior Sister Xu, are you going to fight Xiao Wan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The fingers that Xu Lan'er was pressing on her waist twitched as if they were spasming. She looked at Nie Xiaowan, who was much shorter than her, with great fear. Finally, she slowly put her hands down, covering her lips with a smile.
"What did Junior Sister Xiaowan say? How could I?"
"It's good that it doesn't."
Nie Xiaowan muttered something, not being polite at all. She turned her head and looked directly at Zhang Sui: "Brother Zhang, if you don't want to take Senior Sister Jianchou with you, I'll do it. But Senior Sister Jianchou goes with us, is that okay with you?"
Xu Lan'er was so angry that the anger that she had just suppressed burst into flames again.
Zhou Kuang next to him seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter, but Jianchou saw that he couldn't seem to hold it back, and the smile lines on his lips were spreading.
Zhang Sui glanced at Jianchou and nodded slowly: "Since Junior Sister Xiaowan took the initiative to ask, I naturally have no objection."
So, Nie Xiaowan happily went to hold Jianchou's hand and said, "That's great, Senior Sister Jianchou, Senior Brother Zhang has spoken, let's go together!"
Seeing sorrow is really unexpected.
She found that during this confrontation and negotiation, Zhou Kuang only played the role of an instigator. Xu Lan'er opposed it, while Nie Xiaowan supported it. After refuting Xu Lan'er, he directly sought Zhang Sui's opinion.
After Zhang Sui agreed, it seemed useless for others to refute.
There seems to be some rules here.
However, Jianchou didn't quite understand.
Xu Lan'er waved her sleeves and said, "Now that we have made the decision, let's take a breath and then set off immediately."
After saying that, she was too lazy to look at it any more, so she turned around and walked to the side, sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing.
The sea breeze seemed to bring a refreshing scent.
Jianchou's gaze shifted from Zhou Kuang to Zhang Sui. Both of them nodded to her in a friendly manner, but did not say much. They soon sat cross-legged in meditation.
Only Jianchou and Nie Xiaowan were left there.
Nie Xiaowan was wearing bright clothes, which made her skin look even whiter. When she saw Jianchou looking at her, she sticking out her tongue at him mischievously.
Jianchou laughed: "Aren't you afraid that she will fight you?"
"I'm afraid." Nie Xiaowan nodded honestly, "But I should be more afraid of her. Among the four of us, she and Senior Brother Zhou have the lowest cultivation, and I am only lower than Senior Brother Zhang. If we really fight, she may not be able to beat me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the doubts that had been lingering in Jianchou's mind suddenly disappeared.
She understood everything.
Looking down at Nie Xiaowan's playful and smug look, Jianchou couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
I see.
Is this the cultivator of the Nineteen Continents and the law of the Nineteen Continents
She understood.
