Thousands of miles southeast of Dahui, the depths of the endless sea have always been filled with mist.
Here, boats can enter but not exit, and fishermen can't go anywhere for hundreds of miles.
Here, there are two different legends.
One legend is that there is an island deep in this endless sea. This island is called Penglai. It is a paradise and a place that connects the human world and the fairy world.
There are countless immortals, immortal beasts, and immortal grasses on the island, all of which can live for hundreds or thousands of years. In the past, this island was not inaccessible to the outside world.
There was once a mortal who wanted to live forever, so he took a boat and an oar and went there to learn the art from his master, and he really learned the art of immortality.
However, after learning this technique, mortals gradually became tired of the pleasures of the island and began to covet the beauty of the world, so they often sneaked back to the world.
This time, he secretly traveled back and forth for hundreds of years, so that the beauty of the common people in the world turned to withered bones, but he was still young and healthy.
Later, the mortal man found a lover again, but as age was approaching and the beauty was getting older, he would rather leave him and keep the original beauty.
That mortal heart can't bear it, and finally understands that if the so-called immortality cannot break away from the fetters of the world, it can only cycle back and forth between gain and loss, beauty and sorrow.
The only one who lives in sorrow and pain is himself.
In the end, the mortals couldn't bear it anymore, so they took the initiative to ask the immortal king to take back the magic, return to the human world, and live a life of ordinary people with their beloved women, from green to old age, from black hair to white hair, and finally went to Hongmeng together.
Therefore, the Immortal Lord believed that people in the human world should enjoy the beauty of the human world, so he covered the way between the two worlds with mist.
From now on, those who are not sincere and determined will not be able to find or enter.
If you don't have this kind of heart and force your way in, you will just go and never return.
So far, it has never been heard of in the human world that there are people who see immortals and go to the immortal world.
But, this is just one of the legends.
Another legend is far less beautiful than this, but full of blood.
The only thing is that it was a barbaric place that had experienced countless battlefields and killings. There were no immortals at all on the island, but it was filled with poisonous miasma, insects, snakes, ferocious beasts, and mountains of corpses.
Therefore, anyone who approaches there will be devoured by ferocious beasts and poisoned to death by the poisonous miasma.
Two completely different legends, one beautiful and one cruel, have gradually given this sea area the most mysterious color as it spreads over time.
But the same result is that the fishermen stay away and no one can see the true face of Mount Lu.
And this story has been passed down from generation to generation. In the end, only the first one was brought to the table and even talked about in teahouses and restaurants, while the second one... was ignored by no one.
Finally, at a certain moment, the second legend completely disappeared from the sight of the people.
So far——
There is a fairy mountain on the sea and an island on the mountain.
This island is called Penglai, and there are immortals there.
Immortals can live long and be handsome and unparalleled in the world.
It became a story passed down by word of mouth.
At this moment, this endless sea area that had been endowed with legend and mystery suddenly began to tremble as a strong wind blew by. The dark blue tide gathered into huge waves, hitting each layer one by one.
The hazy fog seemed to dissipate in an instant, and it seemed that the appearance inside could be vaguely seen.
But this state soon disappeared, the fog gathered again, and the sea gradually became calm.
If there is any difference, it is that there are three more figures on the sea wearing the same white gauze Taoist priest uniforms. At this moment, they are standing in the void with swords at their feet. The hairbands on their heads and the wide sleeves of their robes are all the same.
It moves automatically without wind, just like an immortal in heaven.
These three people are two men and one woman.
The woman is brightly colored, with cherry red lips, a straight nose, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are full of hope, but a bit of arrogance can be seen in her eyebrows.
There were two men, one fat and one thin. The fat one had a full smile on his face, and his small eyes were slightly narrowed in a smile. He had a naive look and was quite kind.
The thin one, with his hands behind his back, looked solemn and cold, and his eyes as he looked at the outside world were full of vigilance.
After a while, the three of them turned around and bowed to the fog behind them, then quickly left with their flying swords, their figures instantly shrinking into three white dots.
As the three people left, in a cave in the mist, several figures opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to the white-haired and white-bearded old man at the top who had not yet opened his eyes.
After touching the incense for another moment, the old man slowly opened his eyes and said, "Have they gone already?"
"Back to ancestors, the barrier has been taken back and they have set off." Someone immediately replied.
"Yes." The old man nodded slightly and said no more.
The white hair and beard flowed freely without wind, giving him a rather fairy-like appearance.
The few people below looked at each other again, their eyes full of hesitation. Just as the old man was about to close his eyes again, one of them couldn't help but speak, with a bit of doubt in his tone: "Ancestor, since we have let them go out.
, why not let them find that person directly? Instead, go far away..."
After hearing these words, the old man's eyes that were just about to be closed slowly opened, and his gentle eyes suddenly became a little colder. He could only hear him say in an almost ethereal tone: "We must not mess with that person.
.”
"But he was still defeated in his previous life..." someone whispered.
"That's true, but you really don't remember the price we paid in Penglai?" The old man glanced at him, and the man fell silent for an instant.
The entire hall fell silent for an instant.
Everyone's expressions became cold and hard.
Seeing that they were no longer talking, the old man continued: "As I said, when they go, the first thing is to find the chess pieces we left among the people, the second thing is to retrieve the spiritual treasure moving star disk, and the third thing is to
Bring back the folk women who have come in and gone out."
"Ancestor, that woman is just a useless person. If there is something wrong, just kill her directly. Why bother to bring her back..." Someone curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"No." The old man glanced at him and shook his head lightly, "The immortal sent a letter saying that there was something strange in the lower world, and asked me if I would let anyone out of the island at will. No matter what happened to her, I must bring her back. You
I must give an explanation to the immortal."
After hearing what the old man said, everyone immediately understood and nodded.
It turned out that he was looking for a scapegoat.
After the old man finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and said, "Let's leave it like this for now. I will go into seclusion first. You can inform me after they bring the woman back."
As his words fell, his body became blurred and finally disappeared...
Seeing the old man leaving, the remaining people present looked at each other, and finally sighed. One of them shook his head and looked into the distant void, "As long as nothing goes wrong..."
"What could possibly go wrong?" one of them sneered, "We have already been here for eight lives. As long as we wait for this life, you and I can enter the realm of immortals, enjoy the power of faith, and gain eternal life."
