Chapter 58 The Disappearing Ship

Xia Yi then asked: "Dare to ask senior why you trapped yourself here?"

The old man sighed and said: "The old man was obsessed with cultivating immortals and entered the magic barrier. In order to strengthen his spiritual power and survive the catastrophe, he cultivated...cough cough... As an earth immortal, he did not hesitate to sign a contract with the monsters in the demon world and was eroded by its demon energy. I thought that after becoming a fairy, I would have the ability to expel the devilish energy, but I didn't want the devilish energy to be too overbearing... Ahem... After all, the old man was corroded by the devilish energy, became insane, and turned into a monster that was neither a fairy nor a devil. Before the old man's sanity was completely lost , in order to avoid doing harm... ahem... the common people, they set up formations in the Western Zhou Dynasty where they lived, and used magic to imprison themselves in this stone room. Now I don't know if hundreds or thousands of years have passed... ..."

Xia Yi vaguely guessed the reason why the old man locked him up, and he was not surprised to hear that, secretly thinking that although this senior accidentally went astray, his nature was kind, but he was harmed by the evil spirit and fell into such a situation .

Seeing that the old man was on the verge of death, Xia Yi wanted to save his life, so he raised his hand and pinched out his fingers, slowly injecting a healing spell with white light into the old man's body.

However, the healing spell could not heal the wound on the old man's chest, and the devil's blood was still gushing out along with the devil's energy.

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't waste your efforts, I'm not going to succeed. I would like to thank you all for letting this old man be completely freed from being such a mindless monster. If you guys have any wishes, just say Come on, the old man searched a lot in the early years... cough cough... strange magic weapon, maybe it can... cough cough... be helpful to you..."

Xia Yi saw that the old man's eyes were unusually bright, and his wrinkled old face suddenly glowed with radiance. He knew that he was going to die in a moment at most, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Although he and this old man were strangers to each other, they were both cultivators. Seeing him in such a state, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Ximen Chuuxue heard the words but said: "May I ask seniors, do you know any spells in the world that can make half-demons shed their blood and bones and become ordinary people?"

The old man looked at Xia Yize, and thought of the powerful spell he cast earlier, he suddenly understood, and said: "If a demon wants to become a human, the only way is to change his bones. However, he is close to death, and the hope is slim."

Xia Yi couldn't help but darken his eyes when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "This junior tried bone-changing, but failed in the end. May I ask senior, is there any other method besides bone-yielding?"

The old man shook his head, looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and sighed after a while: "Since Yi Gu has failed, unless Fuxi, Shennong, Nuwa and other great gods show up to do it personally, otherwise...cough cough...I'm afraid ..."

When Xia Yi heard this, the last ray of hope in his heart was finally wiped out.

Fuxi and Shennong have disappeared for thousands of years, and finding them is a hundred times more difficult than reaching the sky.

Xia Yi was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Then senior, do you know any techniques that can make people travel freely in the three thousand worlds?"

The old man said: "Freely shuttle in the three thousand worlds... This requires extremely deep spiritual cultivation, unless it is an immortal who jumped out of the three realms and obtained the Dao, or an ancient spirit beast who has received the aura of heaven and earth. Ordinary cultivators... ...cough cough...don't be delusional..."

An ancient spirit beast that possesses the aura of heaven and earth... No wonder Huang Wenliu was able to send himself here...

As for jumping out of the Three Realms to obtain the Dao of Proving, even the master who has intensively studied Taihua's spells for decades has not been able to do it, let alone myself who is still inexperienced.

Could it be... is it impossible to go back after all?

Seeing Xia Yi, the old man looked sad, knowing that the two things he mentioned just now must be his lifelong wish, so he tried his last bit of strength and said: "Boy, the old man has a magic weapon, although it can't help you come and go freely in the three thousand worlds, it can It allows you to see whoever you want to see in any world... It can only be realized if the magic weapon absorbs the power of the full moon on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Xia Yi was delighted when he heard the words: "Senior, are you serious?"

The old man rolled his eyes weakly at him, and said with the last bit of strength: "I have lived for thousands, thousands of years, how could I still lie to you, a junior...cough cough...boy? You go back to the hall where you came, use Press and hold the round fan in the hand of the beauty on the screen to open the door of the treasure house. There is a bronze rhombic mirror in it, which is...that, that magic weapon..."

The old man's voice gradually weakened, and he forcefully finished the last word, finally closed his eyes, and passed away suddenly.

Xia Yi and Ximen Chuuxue looked at each other, and both of them bowed deeply to the old man, and then saw the old man's corpse quickly wither away, turning into a cloud of black demonic energy.

The two of them had just straightened up when they suddenly felt tremors under their feet. At the same time, large cracks began to appear on the walls and roof of the stone hall. It was just a fierce battle between them, which caused thunderbolts and boulders to fly together, and the flames were as cold as ice. The stone hall couldn't bear the huge destructive force, and it was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Xia Yi's face changed slightly, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull Ximen Chuuxue, and pinched out the thumb with his left hand to cast the teleportation spell.

Because the old man passed away, the barrier he had placed at the entrance of the stone hall to prevent people from going out had no effect, so Xia Yi was able to successfully cast the teleportation spell, teleporting the two of them to the place before they entered the moment before the stone hall collapsed. in the attic.

Xia Yi remembered the old man's instructions, so he went to the screen again, and pressed his right hand on the round fan in the hand of the beauty painted on the screen.

As he pressed his hand, the round fan immediately sank inward, and then there was only a "creaking" sound of the mechanism running, and a thin crack appeared in the wall on the right side of the screen, and then separated from the left and right, revealing a room that was not counted. Big secret room.

There are several mahogany boxes hidden in the secret room, but there is nothing else.

The two walked into the secret room together, bent down and looked at the boxes carefully, only to see that although the boxes were tightly covered, they were not locked.

Xia Yi casually opened one of the boxes, only to see that it was densely filled with various old books, and the covers were mostly Taoism classics and formation secrets that cultivators often read.

Xia Yi didn't want to pry into the classics of other cultivating sects, so he closed the lid of the box and opened another wooden box next to it.

As soon as the second wooden box was opened, the room was brightly lit.

I saw that the wooden box was full of all kinds of rare treasures, ranging from bronze ware to ancient jade to pearl agate cat's eyes.

Xia Yi flipped through the bronze wares casually, and seeing that there was no such thing as a bronze mirror, he closed the lid of the box without interest, and opened the last mouthful of the box.

There were only a few items in the final box - a mahogany sword, a white jade flute, several bronze bells, and an eight trigrams mirror of unknown material.

Beside the gossip mirror, there is another octagonal rhombus-shaped bronze mirror that is buckled on the bottom of the box. Presumably it is the magic weapon that the old man said that he can see relatives in other worlds.

Xia Yi looked intently and saw four strange beasts engraved on the back of the Linghua mirror, Taotie, Chenghuang, Qilin, and Phoenix, and couldn't help being slightly startled.

It should be known that Taotie and Chenghuang are fierce beasts in ancient times. Most people carve patterns on treasures, most of which only engrave dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other auspicious beasts. This is the first time he has seen such a magic weapon that combines both fierce and auspicious beasts in one place. .

He reached out to take the Linghua mirror, turned it over, and saw that the bronze mirror was polished extremely well, the light could be seen, it was not much worse than the glazed mirror, it was not blurred like ordinary bronze mirrors at all .

But other than that, I can't see any abnormalities, and I can't even feel the slightest flow of spiritual power when I put my hand on the mirror.

Presumably, this water chestnut mirror will only awaken when the moonlight is at its peak, and when it usually sleeps, it is no different from an ordinary bronze mirror.

Xia Yi put the bronze mirror in his arms, then reached out to cover the wooden box again, and turned his head to indicate that Ximen Chuuxue could leave this place.

The two of them went out of the attic and walked into the small courtyard together, only to find that it was already bright.

Returning along the way, after bypassing the intricate formation, he easily returned to the entrance of the village.

The village head and some villagers saw that they survived involuntarily, and they were all shocked from ear to ear.

It must be known that for hundreds of years, no one has ever been able to get out of that forbidden area alive.

As soon as Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi walked in front of the crowd, the villagers immediately surrounded them curiously, asking about the situation in the forbidden area.

Xia Yi, in order to avoid damage to the name of the deceased old man, naturally would not tell them the truth, only saying that the person who cultivated immortality had already achieved the true fruit of cultivation and became immortal.He also warned the villagers that there is a powerful formation in the forbidden area, and ordinary people may fear their lives once they step into it.

Everyone was very jealous of the forbidden area, and never dared to take a step beyond the threshold. Hearing the words, they naturally became more afraid, and at the same time, they became more respectful towards Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi.

The two were surrounded and returned to the village, returned to the village chief's house, hurriedly packed their luggage and bid farewell to the village chief.

The village head enthusiastically persuaded him to stay, and wanted to host a banquet to entertain him lavishly, but the two quickly declined, and then left.

Relying on their memory, the two walked hand in hand to the place where they abandoned the boat and landed two days ago, and then both were stunned.

——I saw a vast expanse of blue water in front of me, but the big ship they came on was nowhere to be seen.

Both of them couldn't believe the situation in front of them. After all, apart from the helmsman and sailors, there were also several loyal servants of Wanmei Shanzhuang on that ship.

The two walked around the edge of the island to confirm that the big ship had indeed left the vicinity, and had no choice but to return to the village.

Seeing them go back and forth, the village chief asked the reason suspiciously, and Xia Yi told the truth about the disappearance of the big boat for no reason.

The village head pondered for a while after listening, and asked, "Did you two notice where the boat was fixed when you came here?"

Xia Yi had no impression of this matter, so he turned his head to look at Ximen Chuuxue, who carefully recalled the scene before the two of them went ashore, and said: "If I remember correctly, the boat was tied to the island by the sailors with cables. On a large protruding rock next to it."

The village head suddenly realized when he heard the words, he slapped his forehead and said, "That's it! It's not the big ship that left, but we left."

Xia Yi was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"

Hearing the words, the village head stroked the long beards of the three beards with his hands and explained: "You two don't know that the island we live on is actually moving all the time, so few outsiders can go to the island. Only then can it become a paradise for the villagers to avoid disasters and live in peace and contentment.”

The two couldn't help looking at each other when they heard this, and finally understood why they could only find this island when they went out to sea on the Dragon Boat Festival in May every year, but they couldn't find it at other times.

The village head continued: "The two boats are tied to the rocks near the island. After one night, the island will move far away. Everyone on the boat woke up overnight and found that the island disappeared without a trace. I thought the island I saw the night before was haunted by ghosts and spirits, so I hurriedly sailed away."
