Chapter 372 The Legend of Penglai Mountain
Wu Yuan took out a small boat from his storage ring, which became a foot long in the wind, frightening Jia Fu to kneel down again.
The five people got on the boat, left Ming Island with Jia Fu bowing, and sailed in the direction he pointed out.
This time it took less than a day, and in less than two hours, a mountain top appeared on the sea level in front.
If there is a mountain, then the area of the island will naturally not be small. According to Jia Fu, Chilong Island is the largest island in the East China Sea, with tens of thousands of people on the island, like a small country.
When the five people landed on the island, there were people on the shore this time, and they noticed the five people directly.
The people on the shore immediately gathered and waved at them, very enthusiastic.
But when they saw that the boat Ning Wuxie and others were riding was extraordinary, and it could break through the waves without oars and sails, they immediately turned around and ran back desperately as if they had seen a ghost.
"Why are these people so afraid of cultivators?" Wu Yuan frowned.
"Didn't Jia Fu tell us?" Xiao Qiuxian said calmly, "The cultivators of Lingwu Continent only see opportunities. Killing people and stealing treasures is what they love to do most. I guess they have done a lot of bad things in Penglai Islands."
Everyone was a little amused.
Sure enough, not long after the people on the shore ran into the depths of the island, three people suddenly flew over the sky of Chilong Island.
These should be the Qi cultivators from the East China Sea.
However, these three people came here on flying magic tools, and their cultivation was obviously not at the immortal realm.
Therefore, although these three people were aggressive, they came to the boat and saw Ning Wuxie floating in the air without the help of flying magic tools, and they all paused.
They dared not move forward again.
"It's the mighty one from the West." The man in the middle was a middle-aged man. He clasped his fists and said, "May I ask what you want to do in my Chilong Island?"
Ning Wuxie said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, we have no intention of harming the residents of the East China Sea, and we don't want to be enemies with the Qi Refiners. All we want is a way to enter the Penglai Immortal Mountain!"
The three of them were stunned and obviously relieved.
"Then please follow me."
Everyone boarded Chilong Island. Compared with the thatched houses on Ming Island that looked like primitive villages, there seemed to be a town on Chilong Island, and the houses were also made of stone and wood.
The arrival of the five people had obviously caused panic in the town, and the streets were in a mess.
"May I ask fellow Daoists, why are the residents of the East China Sea so afraid of cultivators?" Ning Wuxie couldn't help asking.
"If you don't make them feel afraid, there is no need to know the reason for their fear." The middle-aged Qi Refiner said coldly.
Ning Wuxie was stunned and realized that the other party's hostility towards him had not disappeared.
"We're here." The middle-aged man landed in front of a dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the town.
"Can you know after entering?" Ning Wuxie asked.
"There lives an old man inside, probably over a hundred years old, who knows a lot of secrets. Just ask him." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly, "This old man has seen many cultivators like you. He has no one to support him. If you know what you want, just leave some spiritual stones for him."
After that, the cultivator turned and left.
Ning Wuxie and others looked at each other. The cultivators here were really straightforward.
Even if he said that he had no hostility, he still had the ability to kill him, but this cultivator seemed to not care at all.
Is it because of the small country and few people that he has no guard against people? Jia Fu before was the same.
Ning Wuxie walked to the wooden door and knocked gently, and the wooden door slid inwards by itself.
There was no lock at all.
"Are you the cultivator from the west? Please come in quickly..."
An extremely hoarse voice came from the house, and Ning Wuxie pushed the door open.
Although it looked a bit shabby from the outside, the wooden house was unexpectedly clean and tidy, simple and plain.
A large bed in the middle took up half of the space, and an old man lay on it, covered with a quilt.
"Old man." Ning Wuxie called out.
"There are many people here... Find a place to sit." The old man's attitude was good and quite enthusiastic.
The old man's name was Xu Shan, and he was over a hundred years old, and he couldn't remember it himself.
He had lived for a long time and accumulated a lot of stories and secrets. He often told stories to the children on Chilong Island to relieve their boredom.
"Penglai Fairy Mountain... As expected..." Old man Xu Shan smiled and nodded, "You are already the third group of people I have seen who asked for advice from Penglai Fairy Mountain."
"But listen to the old man's advice, go back, there is nothing in Penglai Fairy Mountain, and if you keep asking for it, you will lose your life..."
"Old man, just tell me what you know." Ning Wuxie took out two spirit stones and put them on the table.
Xu Shan smiled slightly, "Okay, it just so happens that I am tired of staying here today."
"Dear immortals, do you know that in the east of the East China Sea, in the deepest part of the blue sea, there is a divine weapon that fell ten thousand years ago?"
"The Flame-piercing Spear?"
"That's right," Xu Shan nodded, "The Skyfire Emperor is a great emperor who walked out of our Penglai Islands. In order to eliminate the demons, he went out of the domain and later died in a war."
"That was the era when the emperors fell. The divine weapon of the Skyfire Emperor fell in the east of the East China Sea, thousands of miles away from Chilong Island."
"The Flame-piercing Spear, the Skyfire Emperor, what do you think this divine weapon should look like?" Xu Shan narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone kindly.
Xiao Qiuxian suddenly thought of something and said, "Isn't it extremely hot?"
Xu Shan's eyes widened slightly: "That's right, the immortals are really knowledgeable."
"You all know that the water of the East China Sea is an unusual green, different from all the other lakes in the world."
Everyone nodded, Ning Wuxie was secretly surprised, could it be that the color change of the water of the East China Sea was also related to the Guanyan Spear?
Xu Shan sighed: "Penglai Fairy Mountain, Guanyan Spear, and the water of the East China Sea are all the same thing."
"Or, it is because of the existence of the Guanyan Spear that the East China Sea has been changed forever..."
"Old man..." Ning Wuxie couldn't wait any longer and took out two more spirit stones.
Xu Shan was stunned by this and said hurriedly: "Sorry, I'm old and I'm a little slow in speaking."
"Since the Falling Flame Spear was inserted into the East China Sea ten thousand years ago, the high temperature on the emperor's artifact that has not dropped for ten thousand years has boiled the entire sea in an instant."
"The sea water within a radius of thousands of miles has all been boiled into boiling water, and all fish and shrimps have been extinct, leaving only terrifying sea monsters to occupy the place."
"This is the place called the Boiling Sea by the Penglai Islanders."
"When the sea water boils, it will produce water vapor. The Boiling Sea boils every day, and there is naturally water vapor. The water vapor rises and forms a sea of clouds, and the Boiling Sea is also shrouded in dark clouds all year round."
"And the weird thing is that these water vapors rise from the sea!"
