Brother is also a high-risk occupation

In the end, Shen Wang still wanted to follow him to Yingzhou Island①.

After waking up the next day, Zhou Yan went to see Xie Changqing after he got better.

Xie Changqing was in his own room, packing his clothes. Seeing Zhou Yan, he said with a smile, "You came just in time. Your little brother has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, and there is a lack of consonance in the pills he needs. An old friend has a consonance for his teacher. I'm going to take your little junior brother to an old friend to ask for medicine."

Liu Sanmian stood beside him, with an expressionless face, and nodded to Zhou Yan, saying hello.

Zhou Yan didn't know him well, and he didn't care, he just said that he was going to Yingzhou Island, and said to Xie Changqing: "Master, why don't you take Shen Wang with you this time, and let him learn a lot, and have the right to experience it. "

Xie Changqing stopped his movements, straightened his body, and said with clear eyes, "Let him follow you. Going to Yingzhou Island can also increase your knowledge."

When Zhou Yan wanted to say something more, Xie Changqing waved his hand, and the matter was settled, and there was no room for Zhou Yan to refute.

After confirming, the next preparation was much faster. Xie Changqing and Liu Sanmian left a few days later than them. The day before Zhou Yan and Zhou Yan left, Xie Changqing called Shen Huang over and gave him a sword.

Although it is a sword, but the sword is completely black and has a broad back. If you don't distinguish it carefully, it looks more like a knife at first glance.

The whole sword didn't have any extra decorations, only a light blue sword tassel hung from the hilt entangled with black thread, which made this evil-looking sword more bright in the world.

When Zhou Yan saw Shen Wang the next day, he already had the sword on his back.

He glanced at the sword, said without saying anything, "Let's go."

Yingzhou Island was separated from Lingzhou where Tong Guangzong was located by a full twelve continents. Zhou Yan and Shen Wang fought with their swords day and night for more than a month, and finally reached Huanbihai where Yingzhou Island was located.

The more you fly to Yingzhou Island, the scenery is very different from Lingzhou.

When they arrived at the blue sea where Yingzhou Island is located, it was dusk, and there were many fiery clouds on the seashore, and the fiery clouds covered the entire sky, and the fiery red clouds covered the blue sea. I feel that everything in the world will be melted by this cloud.

The two put away their swords and landed on a pier.

As the sky was getting darker, fishing boats of all sizes came towards the pier from the distant sea level. Zhou Yan stopped a shirtless dock worker and asked, "Brother, do you know which direction Yingzhou Island is in?"

The dock worker wiped the sweat from his brow, looked up, and found that he was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. He grinned, showing his white teeth: "I heard that you are not from around the blue sea."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I'm really not."

"But you've found the right person," the little dock worker smiled a little wider, "My fishing boat goes to Yingzhou Island every half a month, and the next trip happens to be the day after tomorrow. Would you like to take a ride?"

"Sit down, of course, so please bring me and my junior brother with you then." Zhou Yan said.

Rumor has it that Yingzhou Island is located in the depths of the blue sea, and it is difficult to find traces. Only the most experienced fishermen can find the entrance, so even Zhou Yan and Shen Wang need to go there by fishing boat.

The time was fixed with the little docker, and when the day came, Zhou Yan and the two went there early in the morning, and saw the little docker standing at the stern of a boat, still shirtless, wearing a pair of shorts, laughing happily under the sun. Brilliant, waving at them.

The person who set up the boat was his grandfather, a hale and hearty old man.

This time on the boat to Yingzhou Island, it happened that there were only Zhou Yan and Shen Huang, they were sitting in the cabin with the little dock worker, it was not crowded.

The young dock worker was called Kai Lang, and he was a little scared when he saw Shen Wang carrying a sword, so he pestered Zhou Yan to chat.Zhou Yan had just arrived here and didn't know anything about Yingzhou Island, so he intentionally chatted with him.

After talking like this, I really learned a lot.

For example, because of a catastrophe in the Dao of Heaven more than 200 years ago, human nature suffered twists and turns, the aura between heaven and earth withered, it was difficult for cultivators to cultivate, and ordinary mortals were also struggling to survive.

This is still the case now, more than 200 years later.

There is no powerful dynasty in the mortal world. If mortals want to live in peace, they can only seek the protection of the fairy gate. Today, on the Thirteen Continents and Three Islands, only the human world under the protection of the powerful fairy gate is dimly lit and noisy.

And the most powerful immortal sect in one realm not only protects mortals, but also protects other small sects in that realm.

For example, Guangzong is in Lingzhou, and Yingzhou Island is in Huanbihai.

The state boundaries without powerful sects are just small sects fighting each other, and the mortal world is even more miserable.

Kui Lang scratched his head and smiled shyly: "Actually, Huanbihai is not much better, but my grandma is from Yingzhou Island, and our family is also considered to be from Yingzhou Island, so people from Huanbihai dare not bully us. "

Zhou Yan smiled softly: "The people of Yingzhou Island want to live a good life."

Shen Wang also looked at Kai Lang.

"Of course!" Kai Lang opened his eyes slightly, smiling proudly, "The owner of Yingzhou Island was once a fairy in the sky, and he came down to protect us, and he is more powerful than everyone else."

He said that the sky is the way of immortality, and in sects like Guangzong, the disciples in the sect asked for immortality, and what they asked for was to ascend to the heavenly way one day and become an immortal without the suffering of life imprisonment.

But after more than 200 years since the catastrophe, only a few people succeeded.

Zhou Yan knew the owner of Yingzhou Island before Tong Guangzong came, but it was written in Tong Guangzong's records that the owner of Yingzhou Island was arrested for making a big mistake not long after he ascended to the Dao of Heaven. Remove the bones of the immortals and demote them to humanity.

It was different from what Kai Lang said at this time.

Zhou Yan asked: "Then he is a god?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense," an old voice came from outside the cabin, and Grandpa Kai laughed, "He has a child's heart, and he listens to the wind and rain. The island owner has long since lost his fairy status, and he is no longer a fairy."

"Thank you, old man." Zhou Yan thanked loudly.

When Grandpa Wei said this, it was the same as what Tong Guangzong recorded.

At this time, the owner of Yingzhou Island is a former immortal who has been stripped of his immortal status.

As the fishing boat got farther and farther away, and the surrounding fog gradually rose, Kai Lang forgot to look outside the boat, turned his head and said to Zhou Yan: "Wait a little longer, we will arrive soon, after passing this Tongdu Bay, we will be Penglai Island."

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the boat floated on the directionless sea, as if floating in nothingness.

Zhou Yan didn't feel anything himself, but he could feel Shen Zhu sitting beside him tightening his body.

There was a moment of silence in the cabin.

Kai Lang stared at the two of them with wide eyes, opened his mouth, said nothing, and finally only smiled shyly at Zhou Yan, showing comfort.

As if feeling the tension in the cabin, Grandpa Kai’s voice floated from outside the cabin, and he explained with a smile: “Guest officer, don’t look at Tongdu Bay where it’s foggy, but it’s actually easy to live. There are always young men who bring girls here on weekdays. .”

Kui Lang answered, "Brother Zhou, do you know why this bay is called Tongdu Bay?"

Zhou Yan cooperated with him and asked with a smile, "Why?"

"It has been a hundred years of cultivation to cross the same boat," Kai Lang opened his mouth, shaking the hair on his head, "There is a legend around the blue sea that if a man and a woman love each other, they can take a boat to cross the bay together. Crossing the Bay means that the two have a 100-year-old fate that allows them to be together in this life."

The seaside atmosphere is open, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy does not blush when talking about love, but only has a yearning for beautiful love: "We don't have any girls on this boat, so I'll just talk about it, Brother Zhou, have fun."

Zhou Yan had never heard of this saying, but it was new, and said with a smile: "When you have a girl you like in the future, you should bring her here."

Grandpa Kai's face was full of wrinkles, and his smiling eyes narrowed: "Also, there are whales in this area. If the young man brings the girl to Tongdu Bay and hears the whale's cry, it means that he will be together in the next life." .”

"My grandpa brought my grandma to Tongdu Bay for the first time, and he saw the whale," Kai Lang interjected, his brows and eyes curved, "Every time someone takes our boat, my grandpa will tell the story."

Just at this moment, there was a faint voice.

Kai Lang jumped up from his seat and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a whale!"

He looked towards the place where the sound came from, and Zhou Yan and the two also looked in his direction, and saw a column of water rising outside the cabin, a huge monster that was darker than the sea water jumped up from the sea surface, stopped for a moment, and then The body was buried in the deep sea again.

Grandpa Kai’s boat was not far away from it. From the perspective of the boat, the whale seemed to accompany them all the way parallel to the boat. Now it appeared on the surface of the sea, like a visitor from the deep sea and a glimpse of them.

Seeing the whale, Kai Lang was very excited all the way, until he got out of Tongdu Bay, he was still looking in the direction of the whale, and the figure of Grandpa Kai pulled him back: "We are here!"

Following his shout, Zhou Yan and the others went out to look around, and saw an island not far away in front of them.

Standing on the boat, Zhou Yan glanced at Shen Wang who was beside him with his head bowed.

He seems to be very unaccustomed to being in a "helpless" space like a boat floating on the sea. His whole body is like a giant beast tied up in a cage. Zhou Yan can clearly feel his anxiety.

He lightly tapped Shen Zhu's shoulder with his fingertips, and the boy raised his head, his face was expressionless, and the gloomy anxiety was suppressed in his eyes.After glancing at Zhou Yan, he turned his head down again and stopped looking at him.

"Did you just see the curved color on the water column spit out by the whale?" Zhou Yan only said in a low voice, "That's called a rainbow."

Shen Wang rolled his eyelids.

Zhou Yan's voice was light: "It is said in my hometown that seeing a rainbow will bring you good luck."

He tilted his head very lightly, the black hair at the sideburns was hanging down towards Shen Wang, and he even fixed his eyes on him: "So don't be tense, you just met good luck."

Shen Lu's breath was stagnant, he looked up at Zhou Yan, but said in his mouth: "Now I can't see it anymore."

Zhou Yan clicked his tongue, this stubborn kid.

He reached out and patted his head: "I said I would make a rainbow, do you believe it?"

"So listen to me carefully, I will make many rainbows for you to see."
