Chapter 484 Beiming Fisherman
Chapter 484 Beiming Fisherman
The ant stood in front of the giant dragon. Even if the dragon showed 100% kindness, the ant would run away as fast as possible.
There is no other reason, it's just that the difference between the two is too big. Realm, strength, superiority of species, etc. Immortal cultivators are still human beings. Heavenly Immortals only have a hint of humanity. Golden Immortals are not human through and through. As for existences at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortals, God knows what they should be considered.
In short, Wu Qi was like a poor ant that had just escaped from the claws of a giant dragon and fled towards Beiming as fast as possible. He didn't even dare to look back, lest he be involved in some whirlpool that would shatter him to pieces. If you don't have enough strength, don't mix things you can't afford. This is the only way to save your life in the world of immortality.
This time Wu Qi no longer walked slowly, but ran towards the bottomless abyss of Beiming as fast as possible and with all possible means.
On the way, Wu Qi only stopped twice, sitting cross-legged, mentally contacting his demon puppet clones and exchanging information with them.
The first time was that Lord Three Fires actually made up his mind to stay in He'an City. He told Wu Qi's clone that he, Lord Three Fires, was not the kind of unjust person who would just walk away after receiving benefits. Therefore, Venerable Three Fires now stayed in He'an City as Wu Qi's friend, which could be regarded as adding a strong fighting force to Wu Qi's hands. Wu Qi felt that this was serious. At least it was not the same thing for Master Sanhuo to wander around with a little girl Xueyi. Xueyi at her age needed a stable living environment.
Therefore, Wu Qi gave a warm welcome to Venerable Three Fires’ choice.
The second time was because the Prefecture's Criminal Palace once again sent a criminal officer to He'an City to investigate the truth behind the annihilation of Miao Yihu's army. This time, Wu Qi's clone changed his image and told the people in the Si Xing Hall frankly that "Taoist Tanlang" was just a casual cultivator who temporarily joined the Great Lottery Palace. After Miao Yihu appeared, Master Tanlang suddenly disappeared. As for the others , Wu Qi didn’t know clearly.
The people in Si Xingdian had no choice but to withdraw from He'an City. However, according to Lao Ai's investigation, there are many unknown people lurking in He'an City. Wu Qi didn't make any reaction to this. If the state officials wanted to attack He'an City, that would be the best thing. After three years of delay, when Master Li Yang arrived at He'an City with the Golden Immortals from Qingcheng, Wu Qi found a way to annex them to each other.
After taking care of these matters, Wu Qi temporarily severed the connection between himself and the demon's puppet clone, and just went on his way.
After traveling in a hurry for more than two months, running without sleep for such a long time, suddenly a large amount of water vapor rose up in front of us, and the faint sound of waves shook people's ears. The bottomless abyss of Beiming had arrived. Wu Qi let out a roar of joy, brought a stream of light forward for dozens of miles, and pressed the escape light on a rock on the shore.
The bottomless abyss of Beiming,
The once dangerous place in the extreme north of Pangu Continent. However, with the continuous expansion of Pangu Continent, the current Beiming Bottomless Abyss is just an inconspicuous dot on Pangu Continent, and it no longer has the prestige of ancient times.
Tens of thousands of large and small lakes appeared densely in front of Wuqi like stars falling from the sky. The small ones of these lakes are thousands of miles in diameter, and the large ones are tens of thousands of miles or even hundreds of thousands of miles wide. Lakes and lakes are often only separated by dozens of miles of mountains, hills, etc., and there are dense waterways like spiders connecting each other.
Regardless of their size, these lakes have one obvious characteristic - they are deep, extremely deep.
Standing on a high place and looking at these lakes, all the lakes are dark blue or purple-black. The water here is extremely deep. Many lakes are tens of thousands of miles deep. There are countless deep-water creatures hidden under the extremely deep water. There is no shortage of dragons. As for giant turtles, giant soft-shell turtles, giant fish and shrimps, it is unknown how many are lurking in this water area.
At the core of these lakes connected in series like pearls is a vast ocean with a diameter of more than ten million miles. The water from all lakes and nearby rivers and rivers is poured into this vast ocean. And this vast ocean is the legendary Beiming Bottomless Abyss. Since ancient times, few people have been able to find out how deep the Beiming Bottomless Abyss is.
One hundred thousand miles, one million miles, or tens of millions of miles? For those below the Golden Immortal level, trying to figure out the depth of the Beiming Abyss would cost their lives. Especially now that someone has occupied Beiming and opened a cave, even fewer people are interested in doing so.
The strong wind blew from the opposite direction, rolling up the vast water vapor on the water surface, turning into countless horned hurricanes that roared straight into the sky. The hurricane is faintly visible as a giant bird flaps its wings and rises and falls with the wind. There are big fish churning on the water, and the giant birds either swoop down to catch the big fish, or the big fish take advantage of the wind and fly into the air to pounce on the giant birds with their tails. Their huge bodies make huge waves on the water surface, and the waves fall on them. There was a huge roar on the water.
Looking around, among several large lakes in the distance, there are faint houses on a small island surrounded by lakes. At a glance, there are probably thousands of households, and fishing and other items are hung in front and behind the houses. There are also fishing boats moored on the pier on the shore.
Just a few dozen miles away on the shore to the right of Wuqi, there happened to be a few fishing boats moored. Several strong men were squatting on the bows, laughing and gesticulating at the big fish and birds moving wantonly on the water in the distance. Pointing. Wu Qi's thoughts moved slightly. He took off his dirty and tattered linen clothes, put on a set of neat and clean gray preaching robes, and walked towards the men.
When they were still dozens of feet away from the fishing boat, the men stopped talking and laughing and looked at Wu Qi cautiously.
Far away, one of the men shouted loudly: "That Taoist, what are you here for?"
Wu Qiji saluted and shouted to the man in a deep voice: "I have come all the way from the prefecture just to enjoy the scenery of Beiming."
Several men looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time. They shook their heads and said: "Looking at the scenery? Hey, what kind of scenery can there be in this fierce place in Beiming? This Taoist is dishonest, ignore him." A chant sounded, Several men shook the oars at the same time and drove the boat quickly to the water in the distance. Wu Qi looked at these men blankly and shook his head helplessly.
When he was still millions of miles away from Beiming, Wu Qi had already found that there was no trace of people everywhere. It was only when he arrived in Beiming that he discovered that there was actually a town here with tens of thousands of people. How could he not come here to find out the news? I didn't expect these fishermen to be so difficult to deal with. They turned around and left without even saying a word. Could it be possible that they would chase after them and use violence to coerce them to inquire about Beiming's situation?
Today's Beiming is a place with owners. It is not for no reason that these people can live on the edge of Beiming.
"It's not worth it to scare the snake away." Wuqi stroked his chin helplessly, looked at the fishermen and shook his head helplessly.
After looking left and right for a while, Wu Qi spotted a lone fishing boat hundreds of miles away, separated by a mountain ridge shaped like a screen, and connected to another body of water connected to the lake through a hundred-mile long waterway. He hurriedly used an escape technique to escape towards the fishing boat, and quietly came to the shore only one step away from the fishing boat, and stepped onto the stern of the boat with a smile.
Wu Qi got on the boat. The fishing boat suddenly moved. The fisherman squatting on the bow of the boat with his head lowered was slightly shocked. He turned around and asked, "What does Taoist do?"
Wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, the fisherman looked to be at least ten years old. He was missing a left arm and it was broken at the shoulder level. He looked similar to Wu Qi's current condition. Half of the sole of his right foot was missing, and only the bare half of the foot was connected to the ankle. There was a severe wound on the old man's face, as if some kind of big dragon-shaped claw swung from the left corner of his forehead to the right side of his chin. The four wounds almost didn't split his head open. Now Only a thin layer of skin covered the bones, and the four deep wounds formed a strong contrast with the nearby faces with rolled flesh.
Baring his teeth, Wu Qi expressed his strong admiration for the old fisherman's ability to survive to this day. After bowing, Wu Qi smiled at the old fisherman and said, "My father-in-law said that Pindao is here to do something. That's what he is here to do. What else is interesting in Beiming?"
The old fisherman smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "Murder and arson? Tsk, this Beiming is remote. Except for our Ling'ao Island, there is no human habitation for thousands of miles. Visiting relatives and friends is impossible, and tourism is even more difficult. But it’s a bit more interesting to kill people and set fires.”
Wu Qi laughed repeatedly. He walked to the bow of the boat and knelt down next to the old fisherman. He shook his head and said, "Murder and arson are things that a poor man only occasionally does, and they are not his main job. Come to Beiming... Tsk, old man, you guys Have they been living together on Ling'ao Island for generations?"
Lowering his head, Wu Qi discovered that in the water near the bow of the boat, there were more than a dozen strange creatures that were about ten feet long and shaped like eels, but with dragon scales and a faint red light emitting from their entire bodies. These creatures are lazily floating on the water, their mouths open, spitting out bubbles and sleeping.
The old fisherman pointed at these strange creatures and said calmly: "This is the blood dragon eel that has been mixed with the blood-striped eel and the dragon for thousands of years. It can go deep into the water to find underwater rare treasures. It is unique to our Ling'ao Island." treasures. Ling'ao Island relies on all kinds of rare treasures fished out from the Beiming Abyss. Well, Ling'ao Island is the place designated by the Luo Zhen Hall of the Yu Dynasty Palace to collect aquatic products. Could it be that the Taoist doesn't? do you know?"
Looking thoughtfully at Ling'ao Island with the rising smoke on the water in the distance, Wu Qi shook his head and said, "I really don't know."
Ling'ao Island was sent by the Yu Dynasty royal family to collect Beiming aquatic products. No wonder they were able to settle here. No wonder they can live here safely. Maybe there is an official town of the Yu Dynasty on Ling'ao Island, and a large army is stationed to guard it.
While Wu Qi was lost in thought, a speedboat suddenly rowed over from behind a small island more than ten miles away. A strong man wearing a pair of small trousers was paddling towards this side with all his strength.
Several miles away, the big man shouted at the top of his lungs: "Eunuch Cicada, go back quickly, Niu Kan has come to your house again to cause trouble."
The old fisherman was stunned. He didn't care about begging, and whistled hurriedly. The blood dragon eels floating lazily on the water turned over and jumped up, got under the fishing boat, and lifted the fishing boat like a strong wind. He ran towards Ling'ao Island close to the water.
Wu Qi was stunned and said nothing. He squatted on the bow of the boat and let the fishing boat take him to Ling'ao Island.
