Chapter 1435 I Don't Want to Go Empty-Handed
"How long have I been unconscious?"
The light in the cabin was very gentle, illuminating Tai Yin's somewhat confused handsome face.
Only a light red mark could be seen between his eyebrows, which would fade away in a short time.
"Zhu Long opened his eyes once and closed them again." Xiang Bei, who was sitting in the tail cabin, said.
His figure was too majestic, and he occupied half of the cabin just by sitting there. The peerless halberd was stretched out, and it was even more crowded that his legs could not be straightened.
This made the cabin, which was not very spacious, even more cramped.
Tayin was injured, so he couldn't squeeze Taiyin, so he could only squeeze himself.
"One day and one night..." Tai Yin murmured, carefully checking his physical condition, feeling his physical condition restored to its peak. Naturally, he knew that it was Xiang Bei who used precious medicine to save him.
He closed his eyes and sighed, "What an amazing shot."
"It was indeed beyond my expectation." Xiang Bei said.
When he replied, he was lowering his head and wiping the halberd with a piece of flannel.
The mighty and majestic man's movements were very gentle at this time.
Taiyin felt it quietly for a moment, opened his eyes, and the scene of the cross-sea shot in his mind had shattered.
He roughly recalled how he was shot.
So he asked: "How did we escape?"
Xiang Bei said in a normal tone: "I lost the Huaisha Jade Bi."
He just told a fact very calmly.
There was neither complaint nor comfort in his tone about Taiyin being shot down.
He invited Taiyin, and he accepted all the results caused by it, that's all.
Taiyin pondered for a moment, and only said: "Then we need to get a new jade bi as soon as possible."
He was shot down by an unknown person, but he was not depressed, but immediately began to think about what to do next.
Everyone will win.
Every person who is called "Tianjiao" has won since childhood, and I don't know how many games he has won.
Everyone knows how to face victory.
But not everyone knows how to face failure.
Therefore, sometimes, failure can better test the true colors of the so-called genius.
"Yes, otherwise we can't survive Tianqing and will definitely be eliminated." Xiang Bei said.
Tai Yin asked directly: "Which piece do you take?"
But in fact, he and Xiang Bei both knew that this question didn't make much sense.
In the final analysis, the two of them didn't have many choices.
Like Dou Zhao's Xisong Jade Bi, Zhong Li Yan's Shejiang Jade Bi, Wu Ling's Chusi Jade Bi, there is no possibility of snatching.
"Can you find Chu Yuzhi and Xiao Shu?" Xiang Bei asked very practically.
"It depends on fate." Tai Yin shook his head: "My Seven Star Compass can only store a trace for a period of time."
Xiang Bei understood.
Like Chu Yuzhi and Xiao Shu, the combination recognized by the whole audience as the weakest, they must hide their tracks at the first time and it is impossible to show up easily.
And Tai Yin's Seven Star Compass previously stored the traces of Jiang Wang, and later because of fear, it stored the traces of the Huo Dou King Beast.
Huo Dou King Beast...
He suddenly remembered something.
He couldn't help but ask, "When you met Jiang Wang before, was he alone? Did Zuo Guangshu leave at that time?"
"Yes!" Tai Yin also realized it suddenly.
When Jiang Wang was chased by the Huodou beast group, there was no one else around him.
With Jiang Wang's strength, he was easily defeated by the Huodou in the end. How could Zuo Guangshu, who was obviously inferior, escape?
As the key to open the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Nine Chapters Jade Bi will never leave before the Mountain and Sea Realm is closed.
If Zuo Guangshu and Jiang Wang have already left...
Then where will the Ju Song Jade Bi be?
It must be the place where these two people left last.
"Let's go to the place where Jiang Wang's trace disappeared!" Tai Yin said immediately.
The cramped cabin where the two of them were hiding at this time was the Xiang family's secret treasure, the mountain shuttle. It can hide and hide, and can defend and escape. Moreover, it can penetrate mountains and divide the land, just like swimming in the water.
Because there are many floating mountains and islands in the Mountain and Sea Realm, this treasure is called.
As soon as Tai Yin finished speaking, Xiang Bei had already manipulated the mountain shuttle to turn.
On the dark seabed, the huge mountain hidden in the shadows is like a sleeping beast.
At a certain moment, the dark rocks parted. A jet-black mountain shuttle swam out naturally. This scene was like a fish paddling in the water, without any abruptness.
The part of the cabin that touched the seawater instantly turned into the color of the seawater. When it swam into the dense water plants, it turned into the color of the water plants again. When it passed through the tall corals, it turned into blood red again.
The color of the entire mountain cabin kept changing, always blending with the environment, very delicate.
After escaping with Tai Yin, Xiang Bei used the power of the mountain shuttle to go deep into this seabed mountain range to avoid possible pursuit.
This treasure shuttle named after the mountain shuttle is also very calm in the water. It swims gently and naturally, without any waves, but its speed is not slow.
Whenever a giant beast appears, it will stop.
In this way, it stops and walks, finally leaving the seabed, jumping out of the sea, and flying to the location in Tai Yin's memory.
Without the shackles of water, the mountain shuttle is as fast as lightning.
But under Xiang Bei's control, it does not fly high, but only flies close to the sea surface.
Tai Yin in the cabin has already taken out the array plate to eliminate sound.
The mountain shuttle is so silent and good at blending into the environment. If it is not moving at high speed all the time, there is almost no need to worry about being noticed.
The orientation in the mountain and sea realm is quite confusing, and it is almost impossible to determine the orientation in any way except at a specific time. But for Taiyin, who holds the seven-star compass, it will not be too difficult to trace the places that have been explored.
When people pass by, they leave traces, and when things go, there are traces.
In Taiyin's eyes, all traces were invisible.
Even the Formation Dao itself, in his view, is just a modification of the traces of heaven and earth - this is of course a counter-argument. As we all know, the Formation Dao uses human Dao to embody the Heavenly Dao, and is a way for monks to use the power of Heaven and Earth. .
If Taiyin expressed this idea publicly, Taishi, who admired the ancient times and was the first to be conservative, would not be able to tolerate him, so he always kept it in his heart.
Qinglong takes "faith", Suzaku takes "virtue", Xuanwu takes "benevolence", and white tiger takes "killing". These four characters are the four characters of the path he chose. In the framework of the path established by the sages, they are quite satisfactory.
My uncle Taihua also followed this path, and finally became a real person and revitalized the Tai family family.
This should certainly be a glorious road.
The principles he practiced have never deviated.
But he couldn't deceive his heart. The most authentic place in his heart had never been touched. What he wanted was never achieved.
Therefore, the fourth floor has been standing side by side for a long time, but it has never been able to reach the peak of the path.
Now he was shot down by an unknown person.
Is it time for a change?
But why is family more important than mountains?
How can the orthodox tradition, which is already struggling to survive, tolerate someone shaking its foundation?
After flying for about two hours, the mountain shuttle had arrived at the location where the Six Paths of Divine Prison formation was originally deployed.
Xiang Bei showed extraordinary caution, maneuvering the mountain shuttle, first diving into the water at a certain distance, and slowly approaching the target position underwater. After carefully observing and confirming that there were no problems, he and Taiyin jumped out of the cabin and began to look for the Orange Song Jade Bi that might have been lost nearby.
But this is obviously in vain.
No matter how serious they are, how careful they are, and how many methods they use, they end up empty-handed.
"After someone dies in battle in the mountain and sea realm, will the body be removed according to the rules of the mountain and sea realm?" Taiyin asked: "Or will it stay in the mountain and sea realm, exposed to the wind and sun, and eaten by strange beasts?"
"Generally speaking, at the moment of death in battle, the body will be moved away. Only the Nine Chapters Jade Bi will stay." Xiang Beidao.
"Sure enough..." Taiyin muttered: "I won't leave you with conclusive evidence to judge the authenticity of this realm."
"If it were so easy to confirm the reality of the mountain and sea realm, people would no longer have to argue about it." Xiang Bei said quietly: "But whether it is true or false does not affect the harvest, so you don't need to care too much. At least cut it off after you die in battle. The 30% of the soul’s origin is real.”
Taiyin thought for a while and then asked: "Will the Jusong Jade Bi be taken away by Hu Dou? Is it possible that the Nine Chapters Jade Bi will be lost in the mountains and seas?"
"The possibility of being taken away by Fu Dou cannot be ruled out. Jiuzhang Jade has its own special characteristics, and it is not uncommon for it to be favored by strange beasts." Xiang Beidao: "But after the journey to the mountain and sea realm is over. Every piece of Jiuzhang Jade will eventually return. To the place where it first came in, like my Huaisha jade, it will return to the Xiang family and wait for its next use.”
Taiyin sighed: "The jade in Huaisha will eventually be returned to its original owner. This is really good news that gives me some comfort. It's a pity that we need a piece of jade now."
"I can only think of other ways." Xiang Bei asked: "How is your recovery now? Can you still set up a formation?"
Seeing that Taiyin didn't speak for a long time and seemed to be thinking about something, he couldn't help but ask again: "Taiyin?"
Taiyin suddenly came to his senses: "I'll take all the precious medicines you packed in the box, so of course there won't be any problem."
"However, since the Orange Song Jade Bi may have been taken away by the Dou King Beast..."
He pondered and took out the seven-star compass: "I have traces of it here, and you have the shuttle, why don't we go and take a look?"
"Where to go..." Xiang Bei paused and then said: "Are you serious?"
How terrifying is the Dou King Beast?
Once he got serious, even someone as strong as Jiang Wang would disappear in the blink of an eye and leave the field in failure.
And the other party also has a large army with them.
Xiang Bei doesn't think that he and Taiyin can last a few more rounds if they join forces.
Taiyin's thinking was already very clear, and he said slowly: "We don't have many choices now. If we don't fight now, when the sky falls, the chance to fight will be gone."
Xiang Bei, who has always been brave and arrogant, is now the more cautious one. The more he loses to nothing, the more he refuses to be red-eyed: "Now it's not a matter of whether we fight or not, but what we do with it." A head-on collision, you and I can't go on for a single round."
"We are just looking for the Jusong Jade Bi, not to fight against Fu Dou." Taiyin said calmly: "Find the place where they live, use the mountain shuttle to get close, get the jade and leave. Since the Fu Dou King Beast If we can hunt for the first time, we will definitely come out for the second time. We just need to make good use of this gap.”
"In addition, Fu Dou's lair is the only important place we currently control. We have already been in contact with Fu Dou, understand their fighting methods, and know their abilities, so why not go and see the situation?
Compared to other strange beasts' lairs, the Dou Dou Lair is a less risky choice.
Even if they don't bring the Orange Song Jade back, maybe we can find the harvest of this trip there. "
Xiang Bei glanced at Taiyin again, as if he had just discovered his gambling nature now.
What Taiyin said was clear and logical, but it seemed to have completely overlooked the cunning and strength of the Huodou King Beast.
After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "What you said about the harvest is not true. If there is no jade bi, we can't take anything away."
"We can cooperate with others, give a little benefit, and share the light of the jade bi with others. We can even buy jade bi. Next, some people will definitely be eliminated and leave, and some people will have a few more jade bi in their hands. When the trip to Shanhai Realm is about to end, no matter how many jade bi you have, it will be redundant. No one will mind selling it for a good price... Of course, we always reserve the possibility of robbing the jade bi."
Taiyin said: "In short, after the harvest, everything can be discussed."
"In a place like Shanhai Realm, your harvest may not be yours. The premise of the discussion is strength, not harvest. This is not Chu or Xia, and the rules of the game in the world cannot be applied here." Xiang Bei calmed down, his thoughts were clear enough, and his eyes were sharp enough: "Taiyin, you are a little impatient."
Those who have extra jade bi in their hands can think about what kind of characters they are. Why should they negotiate with you? Can't they take away all your gains?
"If you have a better idea, I'll listen to you. If not, I'll listen to me. OK?" Tai Yin said to Xiang Bei with an unprecedented serious expression: "My country and my family need me to perform better. Today, I don't want to leave without anything."
He felt Xiang Bei's intention to retreat, and knew that the loss of 30% of the soul source was a burden that Xiang Bei could not bear.
But he also knew that Xiang Bei could empathize with his feelings the most.
The death of the True Lord Xiang Longxiong and the death of the True Man Taihua brought similar harm to their two families, and the impact on the two of them was also similar.
They sympathized with each other, so they were in the same boat.
He would also question himself in his heart, how bad a person would be to use the method of poking scars to influence the choice of friends.
But the final answer was that there was no choice.
He couldn't just leave like this.
Xiang Bei held the Peerless Halberd and said, "Okay. I'll go with you."
...
...
High in the sky, a blood-crowned bird flew with the wind.
With its wings spread, it looked like a hanging cloud.
A moving shadow was cast over an island.
This is a volcanic island.
From time to time, volcanoes erupted, and black smoke rushed over the island.
One after another, the lava pools were embedded in the island dominated by black stones, which looked particularly eye-catching.
The Huo Dou that could be seen everywhere, lying or standing, of course, could not escape its sharp eyes.
The blood-crowned bird was a little lower, and its claws were ready to move--
Roar! Roar! Roar!
All over the mountains and plains, dog-like Huo Dou jumped out from various places, roaring angrily!
The blood-crowned bird immediately stopped its dive, but it seemed a little unwilling, and still circled over the island.
At this time, in the highest volcano, a three-pronged huotou walked out of the erupting magma, with an elegant posture but fierce momentum, and looked coldly at the giant bird.
The blood-crowned bird pulled up angrily and flapped its wings and flew away.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The huotou on the mountain cried again, cheering for their king.
All the magma pools were boiling -
except for the magma lake on the hillside of the main peak.
Not long after fulfilling his feeding responsibility, Jiang, who was still lying on the magma with a swollen nose and face, blocked his ears in dissatisfaction and turned over in the boiling magma.
"It's so noisy, this group of vicious dogs!"
