After hearing Zheng Muyao's answer, Su Yi couldn't help but frown slightly.
Were Lingxue and the others delayed by something on the way, or did some accident happen?
"Go back and tell your father and ask him to use the power of the Zheng family to help me check a ship."
As Su Yi spoke, he briefly stated the characteristics of the passenger ship that departed from Yunhe County six days ago, as well as the departure time.
Zheng Muyao had just walked into Shushi's residence, but his buttocks were still hot from sitting, and he felt quite reluctant to give up.
But seeing Su Yi's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring and didn't dare to delay, and quickly left in a hurry.
"Sir, Miss Lingxue will be fine with the master figure Zhu Guqing by her side."
Cha Jin said softly.
Su Yi said calmly: "Zhu Guqing's martial arts attainments are not as good as those of a regular passer-by. I can't completely place my hopes on her."
Cha Jin said: "But in this world, Zhu Guqing's strength is already at the top. Unless he meets a powerful person who is also a master, he can still protect Miss Lingxue."
Su Yi nodded and said, "Let's wait for the news. I hope I'm overly worried."
As soon as I said this, there was a sudden knock on the door——
"I'll open the door."
Chajin left in a hurry.
Not long after, Cha Jin walked in with a petite woman wearing a plain moiré dress and a childish appearance like a girl.
"Son..."
Just when Cha Jin was about to say something, Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's none of your business. Let's go down first."
Cha Jin nodded and walked out of the room quietly.
Just now, when she saw this strange woman who suddenly came to visit, she felt an unspeakable sense of fear, and her mind was shocked. She didn't even have time to ask anything, and the other party had already walked into Soseki's residence.
"Who is this again?"
The beautiful tea brocade eyes flicker and fade. Could it be that she is a terrestrial god?
Thinking of this, she herself was shocked.
"How can there be any land gods in Gunzhou City? That woman just now may be an extremely great master figure."
Cha Jin thought so, then he tilted his ears and listened attentively.
"I just left Tianyuan Academy at noon, and you suddenly came to see me at night. What do you want to do?"
In the room, Su Yi sat there leisurely, looking at this childlike and delicate woman.
"Fellow Taoist, you should have noticed the mysterious phenomenon that happened this evening, right?"
Ning Sihua sat casually on one side and spoke softly.
She has a very unique temperament, with a detached temperament and a girlish innocence, mixed with a charming charm.
"Vision?"
Su Yi seemed to be suddenly enlightened and said in surprise, "I noticed it. The reason why you came here is because you suspect that it was caused by me?"
Ning Sihua shook her head and smiled: "How could I be so ignorant? Such a unique phenomenon is rare in thousands of years. Let alone a Taoist friend with such a cultivation level, even a Yuandao monk can't
It’s possible to do this.”
Su Yi also laughed: "Really? That's not necessarily true."
"Fellow Taoist seems to have noticed something?"
Ning Sihua said with great interest.
Su Yi said calmly: "Are you asking me for advice?"
As the master of Tianyuan Academy, Ning Sihua would have dismissed anyone else who dared to say such a thing, or would have taught them how to behave.
But facing Su Yi, she didn't feel offended at all, because the first time she saw Su Yi, she thought he was her "fellow-minded person."
Ning Sihua's voice was as clear and sweet as the sound of nature, tinkling, "I am here because I have doubts about this vision. If fellow Taoist can give you some advice, I will listen attentively."
Su Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "But why should I give you advice?"
Ning Sihua was startled for a moment, blinked her eyes, and said, "What if... I owe fellow Taoist a favor?"
Su Yi laughed and said, "Do you still remember what I said when I left Tianyuan Academy today?"
Ning Sihua looked strange and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you still worried about today's move?"
Su Yi took a deep look at her and said: "That move is equivalent to making you realize that even if you try with all your strength, you may not be able to keep me. This kind of intention is far from good. Do you think I should hold a grudge?"
?”
Ning Sihua took a deep breath, cupped her hands slightly and said, "It is true that I have offended you today. I hope that my Taoist friend will forgive me."
Su Yi laughed and said: "You are the majestic master of Tianyuan Academy, why are you like this? When you find an opportunity, you can just take my move."
Ning Sihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that a person like Su Yi would care so much about this matter.
But think about it, what she did today is indeed a bit unreasonable, and it is hard to defend herself.
"Let's see. Whenever fellow Taoists want to compete in the future, I will accompany you until the end. The worst that can happen is that I will be beaten up by my fellow Taoists."
Ning Sihua smiled and took the initiative to show weakness.
Su Yi accepted it and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it. I do know something about that vision, but I can't tell you the mystery."
"Why is this?"
Ning Sihua frowned slightly.
Su Yi said casually: "There are so many reasons for things in this world, so can you tell me, are you an old monster who has lived for countless years, or do you have something special about your bloodline talent?"
Ning Sihua was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, are you an old devil who lives by taking possession of his body, or a banished immortal who fell from the sky?"
Without waiting for Su Yi to answer, Ning Sihua continued: "I won't talk about this kind of private secret that involves myself, and neither will my Taoist friends, but you and I were able to see some clues about each other when we first met.
This is why I regard fellow Taoists as 'fellow Taoists'."
She raised her eyes and looked at Su Yi and said: "I also hope that fellow Taoist friends can see some of my good intentions. After all, in this secular world, there are very few people like you and me, and I don't want to hide anything from fellow Taoists.
, In the past thirty years, I have been walking around the Great Zhou Dynasty, searching all over the mountains and rivers, but today I only met you, my fellow Taoist."
Su Yi was startled and said: "You have been looking for a 'comrade'? Why is that?"
Ning Sihua sighed softly: "To prepare for the future, as far as I know, although this Cangqing Continent is barren and the supreme orthodoxy is almost non-existent, it is by no means as simple as it appears."
Speaking of this, she looked at Su Yi and said, "Each of the eight demon mountains in the Great Zhou Dynasty hides great mysteries. So far, I have only explored three of them, and without exception, I have encountered some
Unusual and strange things happened, it was extremely dangerous, and I had to return halfway."
Su Yi raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing, and asked: "What is the specific weird thing?"
"For example, in the Ten Thousand Gu Monster Mountain in the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a blood-colored swamp, with bones floating in it, evil fog and thunder and lightning intertwined. I once broke into it and accidentally saw an altar carved with totems of strange birds and beasts. On the altar, there are
With a snow-white skull..."
Speaking of this, Ning Sihua's eyes flashed with strange color, "Just looking at it from a distance, my mind was almost shocked by an invisible and strange force. I also used some secret means to barely maintain a semblance of consciousness.
Evacuate from that place immediately.”
"In my opinion, even the innate master is destined to be unable to withstand such invisible and strange forces. I even suspect that if the Yuandao monks go, they are destined to escape death."
Hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but show interest and said: "This is interesting. It is indeed unusual that a place with such a lack of spiritual energy can have such a dangerous place."
Ning Sihua smiled and said: "If fellow Taoist friends are interested, we can take some time to go and explore together."
Su Yi shook his head and said: "When I can no longer make further progress in practice, I may consider going there."
After a pause, he asked: "What's so weird about the other two demonic mountains?"
Ning Sihua didn't hide anything and told her one by one.
Deep in the extremely cold land of the Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is an endless sea that is shrouded in ice and snow storms all year round.
There is a "Silver Flame Monster Mountain" floating on the sea. This mountain is not big, but there is an unfathomable cave inside, which looks like a great abyss leading to the depths of the earth.
Ning Sihua once penetrated three thousand feet into it and discovered a giant underground maze, like a honeycomb, with countless paths spreading through it.
When she tried to explore the mystery of the underground cave, in less than half an hour, she encountered a group of ancient corpses wearing broken bronze armor. Every breath was sinister and strange, and they could easily kill the masters at every turn.
At that time, Ning Sihua ran away without hesitation.
It's not fear, but the realization that even if these weird ancient corpses are killed, more similar dangers will be encountered along the way.
This place was also called the "Underground Corpse Cave" by Ning Sihua.
In the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a dangerous place that is famous all over the world——
"Baosha Demonic Mountain".
This mountain is extremely majestic and stretches for thousands of miles. Monsters can be seen everywhere in the mountain.
Ning Sihua once went deep into it and saw a dilapidated ruins, which seemed to be a long-abandoned Baosha Buddhist Temple.
Whenever night falls, there are phantom black lotuses swaying in the ruins, hundreds or even thousands, and there are faint sounds of chanting sutras, but they penetrate people like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Ning Sihua once watched from a distance and saw the ruins in the night, with a demonic aura rising into the sky. Occasionally, there were vague figures shuttled through the darkness, like a hundred ghosts walking at night, which was extremely strange.
After hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but feel a little lost.
There is a bloody swamp in the Ten Thousand Gu Monster Mountain, where a strange altar is located, enshrining strange and incomplete skulls...
There is an underground corpse cave in Silver Flame Demonic Mountain, with many paths like a spider web, and strange ancient corpses scattered among them...
And in the Baosha Demon Mountain, there are also strange ruins with black demon lotus and the sound of chanting sutras...
This all sounds very mysterious.
If it were placed in the wilderness of Kyushu, it wouldn't be so strange. After all, it is a vast realm of practice, with countless strange and dangerous places scattered around.
But in this Cangqing Continent, which has many secular countries, there are actually similar vicious places. This is a bit abnormal!
