The island is in the Far East Waters. The Tang family fleet went generally from the southwest, while Xia Chichi and Hai Pinglan went from the northwest. The two sides did not meet on the way and could be said to be going in opposite directions.
During the whole journey, Xia Chichi was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and practicing, which made Hai Pinglan somewhat appreciative.
He could see that the girl was not willing to come with him at first. Anyone could see that she clearly felt like she was being used as bait. At first, the girl seemed to be planning to jump off the boat and run away, but she held herself back.
When Hai Pinglan wanted to use her as bait, it was impossible for her to escape. Instead, she went from being an equal "ally" on the surface to a prisoner. What's the point
She simply practiced openly on the boat and asked directly for any resources or elixirs she needed. Hai Pinglan really gave her enough.
This girl should be less than 20 years old this year, yet she is so calm and composed... Hai Pinglan recalled that when his daughter left, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was hot-tempered, impulsive, and had a bandit-like demeanor. Could she learn from Xia Chichi what it meant to be as still as a mountain
They arrived a day earlier than Zhao Changhe.
When they arrived, it was dusk and the island was not far away. Xia Chichi, who was practicing, opened his eyes, pushed the door and went outside to the bow.
Hai Pinglan had been standing at the bow and watching for a long time.
Xia Chichi looked up and saw the sun setting in the distance. The island was surrounded by distorted air and dim light. A rainbow bridge spanned the sky, as if it was leading them, but also seemed very far away. Some fishing boats could be seen hanging out of range on the vast sea, and many fishermen knelt and bowed at the bows, chanting something, as if they were praying for God's protection.
But no ships entered the range of this distorted light.
Xia Chichi asked: "Why don't they go to the island? Are they afraid? Are they afraid?"
Hai Pinglan said, "Even if you go in, you won't be able to find it. The vision here is distorted. The island you see is not really where you see it. If you sail in that direction, you will never reach it. Instead, you may get farther and farther away."
Xia Chichi asked: "Was it the Sea King's doing?"
"No, this phenomenon already existed." Hai Pinglan smiled: "If it was done by the Sea King, then why did your father ask you to come here? Of course it is already special, and it is beneficial to you, it is indeed beneficial."
Xia Chichi asked, "But now the Sea King is in power?"
Hai Pinglan nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, He can only be here - including the record of the people on the sea in the book covering up the chaotic times, the root is also here."
Xia Chichi asked curiously: "What is that?"
"It's called the Book of Heaven, and it's the same type as the Book of Chaos that flashed across the sky, but on different pages." Hai Pinglan spread his hands, "Although I haven't seen it, I dare say your father must have one page, otherwise he wouldn't be so strong. By analogy, your lover may also have one page... When his flower blooms, all other flowers die, this is not something that can be achieved by genius alone."
There is a hint of provocation in her words. It's okay about your father, but she doesn't even tell you your husband's secrets. Poor thing.
As a result, Xia Chichi smiled slightly and didn't care at all. She was by Zhao Changhe's side when he got the gold foil. She knew that it was a little weird, but she never showed it. If there is anything that is close to "a page of the heavenly book", the gold foil is 80% to 90% in terms of appearance and where it was obtained. She has always known it.
Xia Chichi faced the sea breeze, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and said leisurely: "Even if someone else had it, they would not be able to be the best among flowers. External objects are only auxiliary, and you are the foundation. If uncle can't even break through this, it will be disappointing for the younger generation."
"Ha..." Hai Pinglan laughed: "It is a crime to possess a treasure. Blessings and disasters are intertwined. More and more people will guess that your man has the Heavenly Book. Whether he can keep it in the future is also a proof of whether the destiny is in his hands."
Xia Chichi asked, "Is your uncle interested too?"
Hai Pinglan smiled and said, "I am not in the mood to create unnecessary trouble. It is hard to say what will happen after this matter is over. The one who is really interested is probably the Sea King. If He knew that your man has the Heavenly Book, he would probably get it at all costs."
Xia Chichi said calmly: "So uncle suddenly mentioned this in such close proximity, is it to remind the Sea King?"
Hai Pinglan sneered, "I'm not that mean. In fact, He shouldn't know that I'm here. I have my own ways... Of course, I won't enter the island, so you can enter."
As the words were spoken, the ship stopped where it was.
Xia Chichi turned his head and glanced at him. He was not displeased at being used as bait. Instead, he said, "Anyway, uncle brought me to the place. I have to thank him."
Hai Pinglan smiled slightly and said nothing.
Xia Chichi asked: "Since my uncle won't take me in, and said that others won't be able to find the seat, how can I go by myself?" Hai Pinglan asked: "What is your original intention of coming here?"
Xia Chichi said: "Practice and comprehend the meaning of Azure Dragon."
"That's it. You are here to practice, not to find an island. The process of finding the island is also your practice. It does not require any guidance, nor should it be led by me."
"Uncle is right." Xia Chichi stopped hesitating, jumped up, flew away, and in the blink of an eye he entered the distorted range in front.
Once inside, the people on the boat could no longer see her figure as their vision was distorted and obscured.
Hai Pinglan seemed to be able to see it, and sighed as he watched Xia Chichi's back: "The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead. If this girl hadn't died, she would have had a bright future..."
Over there, Xia Chichi was walking on the waves, and sure enough, the island seemed to be not too far ahead. However, no matter how he walked, he did not feel any sign of the island getting closer. Until he ran out of breath and could no longer walk on the waves, the distance of the island remained unchanged.
Xia Chichi submerged half of his body into the sea, swimming silently, and concentrating on feeling the surrounding environment.
If this place was not created by the Sea King, but was formed because of the treasure, the Book of Heaven, then what does this page of the Book of Heaven highlight
Is it light
Xia Chichi looked up at the sky. The sun had already set into the sea. The stars and the moon were twinkling in the sky, but the rainbow bridge was still there, looking fake.
What is Hongqiao, is it also light
If the meaning here is all related to light, then what does it have to do with the four symbols, and what does it have to do with the meaning of the Azure Dragon that I came here to find
Theoretically, the meaning of Azure Dragon is not much related to water. It belongs to the wood element and has nothing to do with light.
If there must be a connection, it is the Azure Dragon constellation in the sky, which is the starlight that people see.
Xia Chichi suddenly remembered the sky where Xia Longyuan was, and stretched out his hand to move the stars. He was clearly moving a fake sky, so why could people see the real environment shift? He threw a punch that clearly spanned a thousand miles, so why could it reach the Puyang battlefield
Xia Chichi looked up at the Canglong constellation in the sky. The constellation that should have been far away in the horizon was surrounded by this special light and aura. Sometimes it was in the sky, sometimes it was in front of it, as if it could be touched by reaching out...
She stared at the location of the Canglong's heart fire, then suddenly closed her eyes and rose up on the waves.
With a turn, he arrived at a rainbow bridge that was who knows how far away, and walked onto the bridge to ascend to heaven.
Hai Pinglan took a deep breath and said, "What a genius."
This is not an illusion, it is just the disorder of light refraction. But knowing it is one thing, but how easy is it to find out the real location
Everyone has a different foundation in cultivation, and even Hai Pinglan doesn’t know how Xia Chichi was able to see through it.
But she really saw through it. In the eyes of others, stepping onto the so-called Rainbow Bridge was actually stepping onto an island.
Yes, it seemed like she was standing on a rainbow, but in fact, Xia Chichi was already standing on the land of the island. In front of her were… several fishmen wearing armor and holding steel forks, pointing their forks at her viciously: "Where did this human come from? Are you here to die?"
Xia Chichi didn't even look at them. He looked at the island and frowned slightly.
This island is so huge, there is no end in sight... There are even mountains in the distance, covered with vast forests, and it is hard to tell how vast it is.
"Swoosh!" The fishman got no response and attacked furiously, stabbing Xia Chichi's vital parts with several steel forks.
Xia Chichi twisted his body slightly, the steel fork passed by his side, and the Ice Soul was unsheathed, gently crossing the void.
Although it seemed that they were rowing in the air, the throats of all the fishmen suddenly splashed with blood. They fell to the ground in unison and then turned into ordinary sea fish, jumping out of the sea with a "bang" and disappearing.
Xia Chichi took a deep breath. It seemed that this place was not just a matter of light refraction. It was like a dream and it didn't seem real no matter how he looked at it.
