Chapter 268: Sailing in the Mist
The boat was driven by a strange force and slowly moved away from the dock.
The North Sea is vast and boundless.
As one of the three seas, there used to be fairy islands and spiritual realms on the sea, full of vitality.
But ever since that 'evil spirit' fell to the seashore, the celestial demon was suppressed by the Sea Eye.
The North Sea became a dangerous place, and even a synonym for weirdness.
Eight immortal gods, riding on four small boats, drifted on the North Sea.
The Purple-robed Joyful Fairy was with two male fairies, and the Wood Fairy was with a male fairy wearing a feather fan and a green scarf.
These five people all rode in white boats.
Xuanluoxian was in the same boat with another immortal god, but his luck was a little worse, as he could only grab a dark-colored boat.
Li Yuan was riding in a white boat, with a worried look on his face.
"The magical fish and magical medicine in the sea are not what you and I need."
"You and I, the gods, have only one goal: the secret realm on the sea."
After the boat sailed through an area, some strange people began to scatter.
Some people even started using nets to catch spiritual fish and using magic weapons to search for spiritual medicines in the sea.
The Purple-Robed Joyful Fairy gently reminded Li Yuan, hoping that he would not stay here.
Li Yuan nodded.
He came here to ask the Sky Demon for the Soul-Guiding Lotus and would not waste his energy on obtaining the elixir.
Of course, if it was right in front of him, he wouldn't be polite.
As the fog thickened, dozens of small boats stayed in the nearby sea.
The strange people there only come for some magical medicines, magical fish, and treasures from the sea.
As for the legendary secret places on the sea, they knew that they were powerless to get involved.
The eight immortals traveled forward in a small boat.
After a certain distance from the shore, the boat needs to be manually operated.
Li Yuan took a quick look and figured out how to control the boat.
Inside the boat, there are obscure scriptures engraved, which are a bit difficult to understand.
As long as you recite these scriptures silently, you can control the boat forward, backward and change direction with a thought.
However, for some reason, Li Yuan felt somewhat reluctant to recite these scriptures.
Whenever he thought of certain things, he was always a little wary, fearing that he might be tricked.
"My name is Li Yuan, what's your name?"
Li Yuan asked lightly.
The destitute young man responded respectfully:
"My name is Chen Xuan."
The young man also realized that this gentleman not only had great magical powers, but was also a god!
In the mortal world, how could an ordinary person like him have the honor of riding in the same boat with immortals and gods!
"Chen Xuan, you come and read these scriptures."
Li Yuan nodded and pointed to the scriptures inside the boat.
Chen Xuan's clothes were worn out, and he looked a little embarrassed:
"Sir, I... don't know these words..."
Li Yuan chuckled: "No problem, I'll teach you."
He began to break down the words and phrases and teach Chen Xuan.
Li Yuan was very cautious. He completely separated the words and even reversed their order, for fear of touching on any sensitive words.
Chen Xuan tried his best to memorize and study.
Looking at Chen Xuan's honest appearance, Li Yuan was quite satisfied.
Just be obedient and don't cause trouble.
Li Yuan would not abandon it if he really encountered danger.
Wait until it's over.
If Chen Xuan was lucky enough to still be alive, he would take action and erase the memory from his brain.
So as to avoid being entangled in something and brainwashed.
Of course, he would keep his promise and give some branches of elixir to his wife to treat her illness.
The premise is: the elixir cannot be the soul-guiding lotus.
Li Yuan always remembered that Taibai Jinxing once said: A complete soul-guiding lotus is needed.
If you are unlucky, you won’t find any other elixir.
Li Yuan will look for other immortals to exchange some of the elixirs and try his best to fulfill his promise.
Although, he never made a formal promise to Chen Xuan.
The scripture is obscure and difficult to understand when it is broken down.
Li Yuan was also trying to be cautious.
'Please help me, I don't want to have anything to do with those guys...'
Li Yuan was teaching Chen Xuan while praying in his heart.
Above Jiuxiao.
A certain hall.
The Emperor of Heaven raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "Hmm? This kid..."
Laojun sat cross-legged on the side, also smiling lightly.
The fog in the North Sea is thick and the shadows are blurry.
After reciting for a while, Chen Xuan finally memorized the scriptures.
Li Yuan directly injected immortal power into the boat and asked Chen Xuan to start chanting scriptures.
Chen Xuan recited it obediently.
Li Yuan sealed his mind and blocked out the words in the scriptures, leaving only vague sounds.
He pointed at Chen Xuan with one finger and guided the boat with the other, controlling the boat forward amid the sound of chanting.
They were already a little behind several immortal gods, but catching up at this time was not too troublesome.
However, after sailing for a long time, there was finally some movement in the sea.
Bubbles rose from the sea water.
There is a colorful light in it, which seems to be a dreamlike scene.
Li Yuan frowned, and used his magical power to propel the boat forward with all his might.
Bubbles rose up and exploded in the sea water beside the boat.
There is a psychedelic power in it.
"My husband..."
A mournful and weak cry came from the water.
Chen Xuan trembled and turned his head away subconsciously.
Li Yuan frowned and stared, and shouted in a low voice: "Wake up!"
The sound was deep, like a Taoist bell.
Chen Xuan turned his head halfway when he shuddered, knowing that he had been tricked. He quickly lowered his head to recite scriptures and closed his eyes to ignore it.
Li Yuan stood up from the boat and slowly drew out the Fushang sword from behind him.
The sword is unsheathed, and the murderous aura is everywhere!
"All evil spirits, retreat!"
Li Yuan used the secret technique to relieve disasters, and a mysterious force emerged.
The bubbles around it suddenly dissipated.
"go!"
Li Yuan urged the boat forward with all his might.
The pure white boat moves forward in the sea. Although it has no oars, it seems to be riding the wind and waves.
In the fog, the sea water blocked most of the perception.
In the water that Li Yuan could not see, a pitch-black claw was gently clinging to the bottom of the white boat.
However, the pure white boat exuded a peaceful aura, which quickly repelled the enemy.
The bottom of the boat was slightly dark, as if traces had been left behind.
Avoiding those bubbles, Li Yuan used all his strength to drive the boat and caught up with the other seven immortals.
The purple-clothed Happy Fairy has a very hot body. She turned around and looked at me, her eyes moving:
"Isn't my immortal friend a fifth-class priest? Why did you fall behind? Is it really like your complexion, a little... hehe..."
Li Yuan's face darkened slightly, but he didn't want to explain anything about the matter.
If I try to explain this to Huan Xi Xian, I'm afraid the topic will only be steered off track.
Lin Muxian had an old face and smiled softly:
"During this period, the fog is relatively calm, so it is not difficult to pass through."
"And where the fog ends ahead is the entrance to the secret realm."
He pointed far into the mist.
"Once you enter the secret realm, the strangeness of the sea will reveal its ferocity."
"By then, you and I, the immortals and gods, might be separated."
"If we are unfortunately separated, please remember to meet at the statue of Mother Earth in the center of the secret realm."
"If we bow down sincerely, the Earth Mother Goddess will protect us."
Lin Muxian smiled.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
The other immortals and gods also nodded in approval.
The eight immortal gods moved forward again.
Two secret messages were transmitted quietly.
Almost without any distinction between the first and the last, the messages reached Li Yuan's ears at the same time.
"Friend Li Yuan, if you encounter a blood-red stone in the secret realm, remember to pick up a piece. It can save your life."
Lin Muxian's old voice came from the dark.
"Friend Li, if you find a blood-red stone in the secret realm, remember not to touch it, it could be fatal!"
The purple-robed Happy Fairy's voice was also heard with a hint of charm.
Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
But he asked back secretly.
"What would happen if I took/didn't take the bright red stone?"
He sent a message to both of them at the same time.
If you don’t want to take it, ask the Forest Fairy; if you want to take it, ask the Happy Fairy.
"If you don't take it, you might be left without a trace in the depths of the secret realm!" Lin Muxian warned seriously.
"If you act without authorization, you will encounter a strange disaster!" Huanxixian's voice also became serious.
Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but he was somewhat speechless in his heart.
These two people seemed to be serious.
So if he encountered a blood-red stone in the secret realm, should he take it?
Chen Xuan was still reciting scriptures, and he didn't dare to stop without Li Yuan's signal.
The boat continued to move forward under Li Yuan's urging.
But when you reach the end of the fog.
Li Yuan probably had made up his mind.
