Chapter 171 Drifting
Mu Xingqiu's purple-striped sword is gone. It was a magic sword assigned to him by the Honglu Division with the permission of Pangshan Grandmaster Ning Qiwei. It is of a higher grade than many magic weapons refined by Taoist priests. It is because of the With this magic sword, he can fly with the sword.
This purple-striped sword has been with him for nearly a year since the third level of inhalation, but it was nowhere to be seen when he needed it most.
Looking around, there is sea water all around, endless. There is no Xuanwu's back, no Wugen Island, no Fangfang and Ziwei swords, and even the electric whip in the hand is gone. There is only one piece that looks like a ship plank. Something floated a dozen steps away.
"Fangfang!" Mu Xingqiu shouted loudly and swam hard towards the board of the ship. When he got closer, he discovered that it was a turtle shell, nearly two feet long and one foot wide. The edges were incomplete, and some parts seemed to be connected with flesh and blood.
Mu Xingqiu didn't remember how the turtle shell was removed. When he saw that there was nothing on it, he dived underwater again and looked around with his third eye. There was a strange light in the very depths. Mu Xingqiu held his breath and sank, finally feeling relieved.
That was his electric whip, which was being held by Fangfang and swimming towards him.
The two held hands and ascended together, returning to the sea, looking at each other and smiling at the same time. Mu Xingqiu pointed to the basalt shell floating further and further away, "We still have a boat."
After a while, the two of them stood on the hard shell. The first problem they faced was that their clothes were soaked through and they were very uncomfortable. Fangfang remembered that she had seen a spell to make fire out of nowhere, but it was very energy-consuming. While she was recalling the trick, Mu Xingqiu tapped her forehead. "I know the spell to make a fire."
This is a typical mantra for chanting the mind, with dozens of words. It is preceded by a poem-like prayer for fire, and ends with "If the edict is given, it will be done".
A bonfire appeared in front of the two of them. There was nothing flammable underneath, but it burned very vigorously. There was only one drawback. The fire was not hot enough, but only slightly warm. Mu Xingqiu could even put his hand in it without any problem. He was a little embarrassed, "Most mind-reading spells are similar to illusions and can only be used to scare people."
Fangfang found it very novel, and even walked into the flames, using the little heat to dry her clothes, and said with a smile: "It feels good.
Mu Xingqiu then recited a mantra to raise a fire and walked in. The discovery was indeed quite interesting, like a warm breeze blowing upward, but it was even more uncomfortable wearing half-dry clothes. "Let's turn around and open our clothes."
The two stood back to back and untied their blue robes. Let it dry faster.
Mu Xingqiu asked: "Where are we?"
"have no idea,
It seems to be far away from Qishan. "
"What happened? Xuanwu threw us out of the sea, and changed places when we returned to the sea."
"Maybe it's a water escape method. I remember there is a saying, 'Xuanwu Leap. One step for a thousand miles.' We are thousands of miles away."
"Thousands of miles? But where did Xuanwu go?" Mu Xingqiu looked around. Just didn't look back.
"It probably dived once more after spitting out the whip." Fangfang also looked around, but there was nothing on the sea except the hard shell the two of them were riding on.
The clothes were dried and the flames disappeared. When the two of them turned around, they didn't feel scary, but rather a little excited, like two children who suddenly discovered that there was a cave in the house and couldn't wait to explore.
But they still have many things to do. The first thing is to determine the location. Fangfang is better at this kind of thing. Based on the time and the height and orientation of the sun, she calculated that Xuanwu jumped to the northeast of Qishan. As for the distance, it was about Between one thousand and three thousand miles.
Soon after, night fell, Fangfang looked up at the stars, recalculated, and confirmed that the two of them were indeed in the northeast of Qishan, and the hard shell was drifting with the current, drifting towards the west continent.
They had to adjust their direction. Neither of them had any experience in sailing. Mu Xingqiu came up with an idea to whip the seawater with a whip and push the hard shell to sail southwest. However, it was too troublesome to do this and had to cast spells all the time. Fangfang Thinking of a few spells, fix the whip handle on the hard shell, then let the whip body hang in the water, swinging from side to side like a snake. You can also push the boat forward. You only need to cast a spell once every hour.
Mu Xingqiu knew a lot of spells, and Fangfang had read more books, so you thought of a move, and I thought of a move. I was busy until midnight, and finally I was able to manipulate the hard shell freely and remove all the dirt on it. , you can sit down and rest.
"Do they think the two of us are dead?" Mu Xingqiu suddenly thought of this question.
Fangfang thought for a while, "Probably not." She took out half of the copper ring from her arms and looked at the moonlight for a while, "This is the inheritance ring. The disciple has half of it, and the leader has the other half." , If the disciple dies, the first one can feel it. Qi Shan has his own way to contact Pang Shan, and the first one on the left can prove that I am still alive."
Mu Xingqiu still had the treasure bag tied around his waist, and he took out a complete ring from it, "I can't give away the other half of my master's ring."
Fangfang smiled, "Congratulations, you are both a disciple of the Nianxin Department and the leader of the Nianxin Department."
Mu Xingqiu also smiled, "Yeah, it's just me. If I don't want to be the leader, who will be? When I reach the Dianxia realm and can be the master, I must encourage a few disciples to join the Nianxin Department, and no longer be the sole successor. ”
"It is said that there are only three Xuanwu in the world." The night was getting darker and darker, and neither of them felt sleepy. Fangfang began to talk more, most of which were what she had read in the book, "Mie Shi, You Liao, Fei Xiao, Mie Shi, You Liao, Fei Xiao, Mie Shi" Shi Xuanwu is the smallest one.”
"The smallest one?" Mu Xingqiu shook his head. "Fortunately, there are only three Xuanwu. If there are more, the whole ocean will not be able to accommodate them. After all, Xuanwu does not seem to be that powerful."
"Not at all. Xuanwu is extremely powerful. Its hard shell can even resist some spells of the Taoist priests. We have picked up a bargain. The World-Destroying Xuanwu is determined to destroy Wugen Island and cannot spare its strength to deal with other enemies. Its neck is one of its weaknesses, but even if we hit it, it can only make it feel painful, not kill it."
"Then it still wants to escape by water?"
"Monsters like Xuanwu have existed for at least tens of thousands of years. It is not easy to grow to the level it is today. They are all very cautious, even a little timid, and unwilling to conflict with Taoist priests. It is a strange thing that the World-Destroying Xuanwu actually launched an attack on Qishan in person. It is also strange that it destroyed Wugen Island and then ran away."
"I guess it has something to do with Luanjing Mountain."
"Hmm?"
Mu Xingqiu sat up straight and scratched his hard shell with his fingers. Ever since After hearing that nine masters gathered at Luanjing Mountain to discuss a plan to deal with the sea monster, he often thought about this matter. "Luanjing Mountain is located in the southwest of the Shengfu Dynasty, very close to the South China Sea, and is about 5,000 miles away from Qishan. If Wugen Island is sent to the middle of the two mountains, it can form a line of defense. The Destroying Black Tortoise destroyed Wugen Island, presumably to prevent Qishan and Luanjing Mountain from joining forces."
"You are worthy of being the head of the Mind Department. You think so far."
"Are you laughing at me?"
Fangfang shook her head seriously, "You should tell the masters about these ideas."
"The masters must have thought of this a long time ago and made preparations." Mu Xingqiu looked to the southwest and sighed, "I hope to return to Qishan earlier, maybe I can catch up with the battle with the sea monster."
"Don't worry, even the Destroying Black Tortoise has been invited out. This war will not end for a while. If you want to fight, there is still a chance."
The two chatted casually. After Fangfang cast a spell on the whip again, Mu Xingqiu suggested that the two take turns to think and take a rest. After daybreak, the hard shell was still floating on the boundless sea. There was no island in sight. Mu Xingqiu had to admit that it would take them several days to return to Qishan, and it was useless to be anxious.
The next problem was food and water. Both of them had practiced for many years, and they could still endure hunger and thirst for a few days, but it would consume a lot of physical strength.
Mu Xingqiu took a dagger and went to the sea to catch a few fish that looked relatively safe. After collecting them, he did not dare to eat too much, fearing that he would be more thirsty later.
The sunlight on the sea was also a problem. Mu Xingqiu took off his outer robe, and Fangfang cast a spell to make it bigger. The two sleeves were tied to the edge of the hard shell. The sea breeze blew, and the clothes swelled, enough to block the sun.
Three days later, there was a heavy rain. The two collected some rain water, but lost their way. They did not find their way back to the southwest until the rain stopped and the sky cleared.
On the fourth day, the two encountered a group of iron-backed dragons, more than 30 of them, which seemed to be the ones that attacked Qishan a few days ago. They did not transform into flying fish, but appeared in the form of dragons themselves, constantly leaping up and diving back, like wheels of different sizes rolling rapidly in the ocean.
The dragons were more than ten miles away from the two Pangshan Taoists. They had no malice or defense, and seemed to be simply playing, and soon disappeared.
"It's really strange, don't iron-backed dragons participate in the war?" Mu Xingqiu watched the dragons disappear from afar. He was ready for battle, but it turned out to be a superfluous move.
"Remember that man named Hong Futian said that the dragons were going to deliver messages. It seems that their message has been delivered."
"Is the dragon going to betray the sea monster?"
"I think the monster race is the same as humans. Everyone has their own ideas."
Mu Xingqiu was still a little vigilant. He stared at the direction where the iron-backed dragon left for a long time before he finally confirmed that this was really not an encounter.
On the fifth day, there was still no trace of Qishan, and Mu Xingqiu was about to welcome the young demon again.
When in Pangshan, observing the real illusion was Zuo Liuying's privilege. Fangfang never had the chance to participate, so she was very happy. She found a place to sit early and watched him intently.
Mu Xingqiu felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and also started practicing boxing early. He quickly calmed down and just stood on the hard shell, not daring to move too much.
That night, the second update, the young demon appeared on time. For the first time, he did not practice boxing with humans, but rushed directly to Fangfang, staring at her infatuatedly, and there was no clicking sound in his mouth, as if he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
