[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

Let's say that after Baili Wushang bid farewell to Li Chuhuang, he immediately left Shuzhong Path and headed eastward, and within a few days he arrived at a seaport by the East China Sea.He had already made up his mind that the East China Sea was vast and boundless, and that vortex was hidden in the abyss of the seabed. If he traveled alone, the journey would be difficult, so it would be better to go there on a huge ship, and it would not be too late to abandon the ship and dive into the sea when it was impossible to move forward.He grew up in water in his previous life. Although Chaohu Lake and the East China Sea are not the same, there is not much difference in water quality. feared.

When the fleet arrived at the East China Sea Islands, Baili Wushang bought enough dry food and water on the island, and wrapped it tightly with oil paper, then entered the water from the east side of the island, and used the technique of water breath to sneak into the depths of the seabed .

On this day, he was walking in the midst of the miasma in the sea, the undercurrent in the sea was turbulent, and the miasma in the southern border was very soluble in the water. Baili Wushang was getting tired and was looking for a reef to rest for a while, when suddenly a big wave came from the south Pushing it, shattering the miasma surrounding his body, Baili Wushang felt his body sank, already falling down involuntarily.

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and hurriedly pinched his hands to generate a gust of wind, using the force of the wind to stop his fall.But the air in the sea is scarce, and the wind technique he is good at needs to be used with breath, if he is in the sky, he will be like a fish in water, but in the bottom of the sea, it will be half the result with twice the effort.Besides, even though Baili Wushang practiced the Qionghua school's excellent mental method since childhood, this body is still only a weak crown age, although compared with his peers, he has achieved a little, but compared to his previous life, his skill is one on top of the other. Reluctantly, Yufeng lifted his body up for a moment, but he felt exhausted.Just at this time, another undercurrent surged from the north, pushing him forward.Baili Wushang tried his best to stabilize his figure, and was about to raise his head to check, when a row of sea waves came rushing towards him, and when he was about to dodge, there was another forceful push from behind accompanied by sea water, the two streams of water intertwined and entangled with each other, gradually It was a whirlwind, Baili Wushang was caught in it, it was really miserable, and it was too late to get out, the wind wall around him cracked heavily in the blink of an eye, and then a big wave hit his head and face, Baili Wushang felt a sharp pain in his head, and suddenly It was already dark in front of my eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a rumbling thunder awakened Baili Wushang from his drowsiness.However, Fang opened his eyes and got up, he couldn't help being stunned by what he saw. He saw the sky above his head like a cover, and there was an empty desolation in front of him. land.

Baili Wushang was very puzzled. He remembered that he was clearly in the East China Sea before he fell into a coma, surrounded by seawater. Why did he come to such a strange place after waking up? lightning?

The wild wind howled, coming from all directions, and the surrounding area was vast.Dark clouds piled up on the sky, like turbid waves spreading to the sky in rows. Occasionally, a roar came from the clouds, and one or two electric lights shot out from the middle of the black clouds, instantly illuminating the earth brightly.

The lightning disappeared, and the surrounding area became even more gloomy, but just now with a glimpse, Baili Wushang's heart was filled with horror.Broken walls and ruins can be seen everywhere, and the ground is full of broken walls and rotten tiles. It turns out that the place he is in is actually a city that has long been abandoned.The dim light casts long shadows from behind the broken wall, shattered into broken tiles everywhere, the stone pillars obliterated by the exquisite carvings of the past, and the jade bricks covered with cobweb-like cracks, which vaguely retain the magnificence of the city once. .

With a bang, another thunder exploded.The lightning flashed, reflecting the desolation everywhere.Baili Wushang hurriedly looked around, and found a stone road among the collapsed city walls and houses. The stone steps were stacked and meandering forward. He didn't know where it led. , but it is also good to see where there is a way out around, so you might as well go and have a look.He didn't care to think about it any more at the moment, and walked over the rubble on the ground towards that side.

The stone ladder circled around, going up and down suddenly, fortunately there were flashes of lightning from time to time, illuminating the surroundings brightly, so as not to cause people to step on the air and fall somersaults.Baili Wushang walked up the stairs, passed several stone bridges, and turned a few turns, and found that the collapsed houses on both sides of the road gradually decreased, and the scene in front of him gradually changed.As he walked and watched, he gradually understood that the ruins seemed to be very exquisite at that time. There were many stone canals dug in the city, there were also trenches in front and back of the houses, and there were several deep pools. .Now the water has dried up, leaving only some dead vines and vines, completely missing the beauty of the past.

Gradually, the stone road was exhausted and came to a muddy field.Suddenly a gust of cold wind came towards him, and there was a strange fragrance in the wind, which was quiet and fragrant, like the fragrance of flowers, Baili Wushang was surprised: This city is full of ruins, even the strange flowers and species that were planted back then have long since withered. The scent of flowers is so strange!

Curious, he simply followed the scent.Going around a few slanted stone pillars, Baili Wushang took a look, and then let out a cry of surprise.I saw a small open space behind the pillar, on which a lot of flowers were planted, of various colors, all of which were beautiful and bright. The breeze blew, the flowers and leaves trembled, and the fragrance scattered.

Baili Wushang wondered secretly, stepped forward to enjoy it, looked at it, and suddenly a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.Although the flowers in the small flower field in front of me are not rare, they are not ordinary wild flowers. The soil at the root of the flowers is soft and moist, and the flowers are in full bloom. It is obvious that they have been carefully cultivated, which is even more strange. , This desolate city seems to have been abandoned for many years, how could there be a living person living there, and that person is still so leisurely, so he grows flowers and plays here?

He was wondering, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the west without haste.Shocked, he hurriedly looked up, only to see a green figure walking slowly on the opposite stone corridor, vaguely a young woman.

The woman was wearing a lake green gauze skirt, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, revealing a trace of elegance in her grace.She gradually approached, and her facial features gradually became clearer. She had a beautiful face, her black hair was coiled up high, and a jade hairpin was inserted obliquely in the bun. There was a touch of red at the end of the jade hairpin. A plum blossom is in harmony with the flower tin between her eyebrows, making it even more unique.She was also holding a small watering can in her hand. The body of the can was carved from white jade, which was crystal clear, making those delicate hands seem transparent.

At the beginning, Baili Wushang was in a state of surprise, but when he saw the woman's face clearly at first glance, his heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself: Strange, this girl's appearance is a bit kind... Could it be that she is the owner of this flower field?This is even more weird, just now along the way there is no trace of people, how can she survive here as a single woman?Could it be that she is not a human being, but some kind of spirit...

While thinking wildly, the woman in green had already walked to the flower field.When she saw Baili Wushang, her beautiful eyes widened immediately, and she looked at him for a long time without blinking, until Baili Wushang coughed lightly in embarrassment, then she suddenly came to her senses, and her cheeks suddenly appeared. She blushed twice, turned her back, and only after a while did she hear a voice as thin as a mosquito floating gently from there: "You... who are you?"

Baili Wushang raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt that every move of this woman was delicate, like a lady of the Central Plains human race, quite different from the female demons in memory, and said immediately: "Under Baili Wushang, break into this place It's really presumptuous, please forgive me, girl."

The skirt of the woman in green trembled slightly, Baili Wushang looked sideways, and saw her jade hands tightly twisting the hem of the skirt, as if shy and at a loss.After another half hour, I heard the woman whisper: "... how did you come in... the sea of ​​thunder clouds?"

Sea of ​​Thunderclouds?

Baili Wushang was slightly taken aback, and asked back: "So this is called the Sea of ​​Thunder Clouds?" Just as the words fell, there was another rumbling thunder in the sky, several lightning bolts passed through the clouds, and the light shone on the two of them. Two long black shadows stretched out from the ground.He raised his eyes to look at the sky, and couldn't help smiling, "The strange way has been thundering all the time... The Sea of ​​Thunder Clouds is also a suitable name for the occasion."

The woman in green said softly: "Here...it wasn't like this before. A long time ago, there were many, many people living in this city. Flowers were planted everywhere in the city, and singing and laughter could be heard everywhere you went. It used to be a beautiful, beautiful place…”

Baili Wushang asked doubtfully, "Then why has it turned into such a miserable situation now?"

The woman in green sighed softly: "More than 200 years ago, this city experienced a great disaster...a lot of thunder and fire fell from the sky, and the whole sea of ​​darkness was shaking...it was really a terrible disaster... "

"Wait... Minghai?" Baili Wushang's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, he had vaguely been overseas. There was a sea area called Minghai, and in that sea was a The palace, where people lived... His heart shuddered, and he hurriedly walked to the front of the woman in green, and looked her over carefully.At first, the woman's face was full of bewilderment, but seeing him staring at her, she couldn't help but feel shy, her cheeks became more and more red, and finally she couldn't help asking: "You...what are you looking at?"

Baili Wushang came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Girl, may I ask if your surname is Kun?"

The blush on the face of the woman in green still hasn't faded. Hearing his question, she glanced at him in surprise, and nodded slightly after a long time.

Baili Wushang suddenly laughed as if he had found a treasure. At this time, the doubts in his chest had been resolved, and he murmured to himself: "So this is actually there... No wonder I always feel familiar all the way... So that's it. , why didn't I think of it earlier?"

The woman in green became more and more curious as she heard it, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know my surname is Kun, you...you know me?"

Baili Wushang glanced at her and said to himself: I not only know your surname Kun, but also your name Kun Haizhen. You have a grandfather who is the oldest Kun demon in the world, and another one who likes to mess around the most. younger brother.But he couldn't confide these things to the woman in front of him, so he could only smile slightly and prevaricate: "I once met Senior Kun Jiutian once, and I heard him mention you." After a while, he thought again He asked, "Don't you live in the sea of ​​darkness? How did you end up here with Penglai Island?"

When Kun Haizhen heard him mention Kun Jiutian, her face was full of surprise, but when she heard his last question, her joy turned into bitterness.She said quietly: "It turns out that grandpa even told you about the Beiming Palace... Alas, that natural disaster almost sank the entire Penglai Island, the Sea of ​​Netherworld was also damaged, and many monsters in the sea died. Even our Beiming Palace was implicated. After the barrier set by our grandfather was broken, the sea water poured in, and the house we lived in was completely flooded. The paintings I drew and the flowers I planted It will be ruined once..." When I said this, I couldn't help but get red eyes, as if very sad, and then continued after a while, "At that time, my grandfather happened to be out traveling and was not at home at all. Fortunately, my younger brother and I were not afraid of the waves. That's why I escaped a catastrophe, but the treasures collected by my grandfather didn't know where they were thrown, if he found out, he would be furious..."

Baili Wushang hurriedly comforted her, Kun Haizhen wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, then lowered her head in embarrassment, and said, "Later...the sky thunder finally passed, my brother and I had nowhere to go, so we had to When I arrived on the island, who knows how long, suddenly there was a strong wind and thunder was everywhere, and Penglai Island seemed to be split in two... I was terrified, my brother took me to hide in a cave, and waited outside. There was no sound, and the ground stopped shaking, so we came out. Who knew that the whole island had been broken into several pieces, and we drifted here with one of them... because there was thunder everywhere, the sky There are also dark clouds in the center. Although there is no sea water inside, the outside is still in the sea, so I call it the sea of ​​thunder clouds. My brother said that there is a lot of spiritual energy here, which is good for cultivation. He refused to leave, so I had to stay with him. Stay for 200 years..."
