Although the Xuanxin Mansion's cross-border flying boat is considered a toy compared to the Weimei Sect's Sky-Swallowing Beast, it is still an incredible behemoth to ordinary people.
In the past two days, we have visited everything that should be seen. Ji Yuan and the people from Yuhuai Mountain have nothing to stop at the top of the mountain, so they are going to go directly to the flying boat.
The flying boat hovered at the top of the mountain to cross the outer peak port, just like an ordinary large ship moored in the river, except that the water turned into thick clouds and mist, as if it were being held under the flying boat.
This is because the clouds and mist are part of the shielding formation on the summit crossing. Secondly, it is also to prevent some people who are afraid of heights from being scared when they see the abyss below when boarding the boat. In Ji Yuan's view, it is very humane.
As the group approached the outer port, they saw that many passengers including immortal cultivators, spirits, mortals and even monsters were preparing to board the airship. A huge springboard was placed between the airship and the cliff of the outer port.
In addition to those who wanted to get on the ship, there were also many people who got off the ship. There were also burly spirits carrying cargo boxes several times larger than themselves. Every step on the ground felt very heavy.
At the entrance of the flying boat, there were several Xuanxin Mansion monks wearing golden robes standing there. There was also a gray dog-shaped fairy beast that seemed to have four ears and was as tall as a person sitting at the entrance of the boat. Wandering among the boat passengers, but with one eye open and the other closed.
"Haha, it turns out that the Immortal Mansion will also turn a blind eye."
When Ju Yuanzi said these words, Wei Yuansheng, Shang Yiyi and other juniors were a little confused, but Ji Yuan, Qiu Feng, Yang Ming and other monks knew what he was talking about. After thinking about it, Yang Ming still felt that he should treat this man who had not been out for a long time. Mr. Shanmen, please explain.
"Zhenren Ju doesn't know that fairy crossings like Dingfengdu are developing extremely rapidly. Today's Dingfengdu is completely different from the Dingfengdu one or two hundred years ago. People who practice, such as immortals, demons, demons, Buddhas, humans, ghosts, spirits, and other people who know etiquette all need a place to communicate with each other.”
Yang Ming looked at the pedestrians passing by or passing by each other, and continued.
"So in this case, even if the aura of some demons or demons is slightly wrong, it is not too much and we will not investigate it carefully. After all, even immortal cultivators and Buddhist monks are sometimes burdened by karma."
Ji Yuan is happy to see such a development. The ferry port led by cultivators will definitely be more orderly, and it may affect more demons. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
To put it bluntly, the realm ferry is a special kind of public transportation. In this case, it must also bring rewards for the immortal power it possesses. No matter what the immortal cultivators think, it is always for profit, which is inevitable. Some businessmen are angry.
Therefore, in order to make the form more beautiful, there will basically not be any "charges" at the boarding entrance. Most of the time, the "ship fare" has been paid at the market in Dingfengdu Nei, and it will naturally be handed over to the people from Yuelushan, and then It will be much nicer and more convenient to settle accounts with the immortal cultivators who are ferrying through them to other realms.
Ji Yuan and others already hold the order talisman, which is regarded as a kind of ship ticket. The monks of Xuanxin Mansion are more like checking the status of the ship ticket than identifying whether there are evil evil spirits. As for mortals getting on and off the ship, as long as It's not that it's too outrageous or rude, it's just that I really turned a blind eye.
The group of people was not moving very fast. When they approached the springboard, several monks in Xuanxin Mansion recognized the characteristics of the immortal cultivators in Yuhuai Mountain. Although Yuhuai Mountain is just a blessed place in Nanchui, Yunzhou, it has a name at least. There were orthodox immortal cultivators, and there were obviously experts among the people who came, so several monks from Xuanxin Mansion took the lead in saluting the people in Yuhuai Mountain at a suitable distance.
"I haven't seen you Taoist fellows from Yuhuai Mountain for many years. Welcome all fellow Taoists to board the ship!"
"Fellow Taoists from Xuanxin Mansion, you're welcome!"
Ji Yuan returned the gift with everyone in Yuhuai Mountain, and there was no need to jump out and say that he was not from Yuhuai Mountain. He looked at the fairy beast next to him, thinking that Hu Yun must be disgusted by fairy beasts like this.
The moment Ji Yuan looked over, the two eyes of the Four-Eared Immortal Beast, which were originally open and closed, suddenly opened. Even the ears that were a little loose stood up, the ears trembled slightly, and the vision also flickered. He looked at Ju Yuanzi and Ji Yuan, and then focused on Ji Yuan, but he didn't make any sound.
After Ji Yuan and his entourage got on the boat and disappeared from sight, a high-crowned monk from Xuanxin Mansion immediately looked at the immortal beasts beside them.
"Fellow Daoist Four Listeners, what's the difference?"
The fairy beast looked towards the direction where Ji Yuan and others left, and spoke human words.
"In the group of Yuhuai Mountain, the immortal leader without the jade pendant was very lively. I seemed to hear many voices bickering and exclaiming. He must have raised a lot of little monsters. Behind him was a sword without any intention. The exposed immortal sword hangs on his back, and apart from the noisy quarrels, the sound inside and outside the immortal chief's body is like the tinkling of a mountain spring, and like the gentle breeze blowing, almost pure and flawless. I have never felt this way... "
"Siting" is not a name, but a surname, which also refers to this rare monster. The four-tinged beasts in Xuanxin Mansion all have "Siting" as their surname, and they take a single character as their name, such as the one in front of you. The "Four Tingxiu" of "Si Ting Xiu" is also called "Fellow Daoist Four Tings", which is similar to the "Fellow Taoist Crane" of Yuhuai Mountain.
"Immaculate?"
The Xuanxin Mansion monk obviously looked back at the direction of the flying boat, but did not seem to understand the meaning. Si Ting nodded and continued.
"I've met many people with high moral standards. Although I can't understand many of them, this Immortal Chief has a particularly special feeling. He is a cultivator."
There is a big difference between the words "cultivation" and "cultivation". Even in the world of cultivation, they are often used interchangeably, but when spoken here in Siting, the meaning is naturally different.
Moreover, even among immortal sects, immortal weapons are treasures. Immortal weapons have their own thoughts and preferences, and their spirituality is not inferior to that of ordinary immortal cultivators. What’s more, there are even weapons that take the form of spiritual beings. Except for the first-generation owner, In addition, the immortal weapon rarely recognizes its owner again, but the nostalgia will protect the sect.
There are only a few possibilities for being able to go out with an immortal weapon, none of which can be summed up by the simple word "extraordinary".
After hearing what Si heard saying, the monks from Xuanxin Mansion also became slightly concerned.
…
The flying boat is also very lively. There are also various stores and small markets, with some exotic characteristics. From time to time, some mortals doing business on the boat will shout a few words in a strong dialect to invite the immortals who have just boarded the boat. Or mortals go over and take a look at their storefronts.
Although in this world, due to the teachings of practitioners, the written language is interoperable and Mandarin can be communicated in various places, the differences in accents are greater when the geographical span is larger. It is not surprising to have its own dialect, but in the past, the traces of dialect and Mandarin were very strong. Ji Yuan can understand most of them.
Some people on the flying boat spoke privately in dialects that Ji Yuan couldn't understand, so that Ji Yuan frequently frowned. In the past, he thought that the speech habits should be similar everywhere, just like the ones he met in the East China Sea. The fleet that was looking for Xianxia Island had a loud accent, but they could still communicate.
Wei Yuansheng and Shang Yiyi also didn't understand. Several young monks of the disciple generation looked at each other, and then Wei Yuansheng directly asked Qiu Feng beside him.
"Master, what did they say?"
"Yeah, I can't understand what's being said over there at all."
Qiu Feng actually didn't know much about this. He had never been out of Yunzhou, so he had to look at his senior brother. The latter was about the same as him, so Ju Yuanzi opened his mouth to answer.
"A long time ago, Yunzhou was ruled by a super dynasty that also led the Shinto. In the process of slowly reclaiming Yunzhou, the dynasty was in civil strife due to the conflicts accumulated over the years. However, after the collapse, the people of the Yunzhou human race were originally It has a first-class origin, coupled with thousands of years of unified jurisdiction, and the deep-rooted language memory of our ancestors. Even if we don’t know the ancient history, there are many differences in the language today, but they are still similar.”
"But if you cross Yunzhou, the differences in dialects are sometimes exaggerated. Of course, the Mandarin in the ordinary sense is still roughly the same."
Not only did Wei Yuansheng and others learn from this, but Ji Yuan also knew for the first time that the information he had come across before was not covered or was incomplete.
When they went to their Feizhou guest house, almost everyone in the group, except Ju Yuanzi, was full of curiosity. Even Ji Yuan was the same, but Ji Yuan didn't show it on his face.
It is almost universally acknowledged that a huge magic weapon like a flying boat contains the universe inside. The same is true for this one in Xuanxin Mansion. The inside is much larger than the hull outside. The cabins inside are divided into multiple layers, each with various strange uses. They can accommodate people. Most of the areas surround the hull.
From this point of view, even if the actual usable area of this flying boat is smaller than the back of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, it will not be as exaggerated as the volume comparison.
After walking around for a while, he finally saw his residence. Ji Yuan finally understood why it was called a guest house instead of a cabin. It was a small courtyard with walls, bigger than Ju'an Pavilion.
A relatively unfamiliar Yuhuaishan master waved his command talisman towards the small courtyard. A hazy Dharma light flashed through the courtyard, and the courtyard door opened automatically, revealing flowers, trees, tables and scenery.
"It's not bad. Everyone can go in and find your own room to rest. You can use your command talisman to enter or exit."
"Yes Yes!"
After the disciples responded, they each ran in slightly excitedly. The brothers and sisters worked together to find a room, but they all wisely found the one outside, leaving the inside to their elders.
One day later, Ji Yuan, who was sitting in his room practicing in bed, felt a slight vibration around him. Although it was inaudible to ordinary people, it was very obvious to him.
This kind of movement can only mean one thing. Xuanxin Mansion's realm flying boat has begun to take off and leave the port.
Ji Yuan immediately got up from the bed, opened the door, and saw Ju Yuanzi and Yu Huaishan, a monk who could be called a real person, also came out at this moment.
Qiu Feng also called out to the room where Wei Yuansheng was.
"Yuansheng, the flying boat has set sail, why don't you go out and take a look?"
"What? Now? Here we come!" "I'm going too, I'm going too!"
A group of disciples also came out one after another, and then quickly reached the flying boat deck together with their elders using a method similar to shrinking the ground.
Outside, the Dingfengdu Market a little further away was still bustling with people, but the flying boat here slowly rose, and the clouds and mist below hit the bottom of the boat like waves, and then separated from it.
The mountains and fog of Yuelu Mountain appear to be vast, and the flying boat rises little by little, as if it is far away from the painting with a slight sense of weight.
