Undersea Wonderland

Chapter 103 Undersea Wonderland
Half a month later, at the border of Hongzhou.

A fake pitch-black lotus platform landed in a hidden valley without attracting anyone's attention.

On the lotus platform lingering with fierce demonic energy, two figures stepped out of it, a man and a woman.

The woman who is slightly in front is wearing a long skirt, which is glamorous and charming, giving people a kind of coquettish meaning.

The man was dressed in fine clothes, exuding a cynical air, quite like a son of a rich family born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

The two headed towards Hongzhou.

"Jiangnan, this is the map of Hongzhou. I've marked the route to Beihai for you. Then you can follow along."

Jian Xun took out a pair of animal skin maps that were still lingering with a faint fragrance from his arms, and handed them to Jiangnan.

This map is exquisite in workmanship, regular in style, and has tin borders at the corners. Judging from its appearance, it should be produced by the Daxia court.

Jiang Nan took the map and cupped his hands to express his thanks, "Thank you, Sister Xun."

Jian Xun rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "Why are you being so polite?"

After a pause, she looked at a small town down the mountain in front of her, and said, "There is an outpost of Xiuyi Mansion just ahead, I plan to join them first, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Nan also looked forward, and saw the fields on both sides of the town, and several men dressed as farmers looked towards the two of them.

When Jiang Nan and their eyes met, he felt something in the dark—these people were not ordinary people.

This is the spiritual perception that is naturally formed after the Taoism becomes more and more profound.

In the beginning, this spiritual sense could only detect murderous thoughts and malicious intentions, but now the cultivators whose cultivation level is not as good as that of Jiangnan, it is difficult to hide after being swept away by his thoughts.

It seems that these people are the secret agents of the Xiuyi Mansion that Jian Xun said.

Jiang Nan pondered for a moment before saying, "I won't go there, just go to the north."

Jian Xun nodded: "Alright, after the matter is over, we will meet here and return to the capital together."

"No problem." Jiang Nan smiled, took out the map, and walked in another direction.

And Jian Xun stepped into the small town.

The men who looked like peasants put down their farm work indiscriminately, as if they had finished work and went home.

Entered the town together with Jian Xun.

"Jian Xiuyi, you are here."

The leading man spoke respectfully, but unconsciously glanced in the direction where Jiangnan was leaving.

With his cultivation base in his body, he could clearly see the appearance of Jiangnan from a long distance away.

Can't help being surprised.

This Jianxiuyi, who was secretly called "Heavenly Witch" by everyone, did she like this kind of young boy with delicate skin and tender flesh?
Of course, this thought just flashed through his mind, and he never dared to say more.

In less than a moment, the figures of a group of people entered the small town and merged into the crowd.

At this time, it was enough, there was no wind in the world, and it was calm.

However, under this calm, it seems that there is a raging undercurrent, slowly accumulating, waiting to explode!
.
Following the map given by Jian Xun, Jiangnan took off at low altitude all the way.

Qingluo followed behind him, using illusion to cover up his figure.

The current situation in Hongzhou is still unclear, so it is better to be more cautious.

At least before lighting the green lantern, he didn't want to get involved in the mud of Hongzhou.

Due to its location close to the north of Shangyuan, the weather in Hongzhou is drier and colder than that in the east, and the sky is high and cloudless, making it even more vast.

After seven days, Jiangnan passed through cities and villages all the way, and finally approached Haikou.

According to the map given by Jian Xun, there is a big city here, named Longcheng, which is the largest port city in Hongzhou.

If you go further north from Longcheng, you will find the boundless Inner Beihai.

And the Hailing Mine, which was supplied to the imperial court, was excavated from the Inner North Sea.

According to Jian Xun, there is a natural spiritual vein in the inner north seabed, which spews spiritual energy to the sea surface in a seasonal cycle.

Every other season, the submerged reef undergoes a qualitative change under the washing of its extremely rich aura, and after being smelted by a special method, the spirit stone can be produced at an accelerated rate.

And these reefs filled with aura are also called Hailing Mine.

Landing outside Taki City, Jiangnan strode into the city.

As soon as you enter the city, the first thing you feel is a sense of bleakness, like vegetation after frost, sluggish.

There are not many pedestrians in the city, and they are all in a hurry, and there are all kinds of abandoned debris on both sides of the streets and alleys.

Messy fallen leaves piled up on the streets and no one cleaned them up. Occasionally, the two patrolling guards were listless, pale and skinny.

This made Jiangnan extremely puzzled.

According to what he learned while chatting with Jian Xun, Longcheng is the largest port city in and out of Hongzhou, with well-developed shipping.

Almost all ships entering Hongzhou from Inner Beihai pass through this city.

At the same time, the fishing industry here is also extremely prosperous, and the seafood produced is supplied to the tables of the upper classes in Hongzhou.

Under such circumstances, Long City naturally became an extremely prosperous and lively city.

It is not an exaggeration to call it an inch of land and an inch of gold.

But based on what Jiangnan saw now, if it weren't for the words "Longcheng" clearly engraved on the outer wall of the city, he would have wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

With doubts in his heart, Jiangnan headed towards the port area.

But the place is still in ruins.

There is no trace of pedestrians on the empty dock, and there is not a single ship at the neatly arranged rudders.

It looks like it has been neglected for a long time.

In a cabin by the rudder, a gray-haired old man was lying on a rocking chair, covering his face with an oily felt hat.

Jiang Nan approached and called out, "Old man?"

The old man lazily took off his felt hat, looked Jiangnan up and down, and then said, "Young man, Longcheng is no longer what it used to be. If you want to have fun, you may have come to the wrong place."

It seems that Jiangnan's attire made him think that he was a kid from a rich family who came to visit some inland city.

Jiang Nan took out a piece of broken silver and put it in his hand.

After weighing it for a while, the old man suddenly regained his energy and turned over to get up.

He looked at Jiangnan, with understanding in his eyes, and said: "Although Longcheng is bleak now, and the land of Fengyue is closed one after another, you can be regarded as finding the right person—old man, when I was young, I had the love of the little white dragon in Longcheng." say……"

Looking at the eloquent old man, Jiang Nan sighed helplessly, "Old man, I just want to ask what happened to Long City."

The old man was taken aback, "That's it?"

Looking at Jiangnan's determined eyes, he finally believed that what the young man in front of him was doing was not for fun.

His eyes dimmed, and he sighed.

"Taki City...Taki City is dead..."

Later, in the words of the old man, Jiang Nan finally understood what happened in Longcheng.

Longcheng is mainly based on shipping and fishing, and its prosperity and excitement year after year are all built on the sea.

In the Inner North Sea, due to the existence of the spiritual veins in the seabed, under the irrigation of spiritual energy, apart from the Hailing Mine, the meat of the fish and shrimp is extremely delicious.

But at the same time, some creatures in the sea will become extremely large due to excessive spiritual nourishment.

Some have even learned to manipulate the power of the waves.

But in the face of these monster-like sea creatures, ships and fishermen are naturally helpless.

So whenever the cultivators in Hongzhou drove their warships to mine spirit mines, they had another task to clean up these sea creatures that had become demons.

In this way, a tradition gradually formed in Hongzhou.

At the beginning of each season, the fleet mining spirit mines goes to sea to cleanse the cruel sea.

Afterwards, the boats and fishermen went out to sea, caught fish and shrimp, and delivered goods.

This was originally a rule that has been established for nearly a hundred years.

But after January of this year, the fairy master who mined the spirit mine in the Hongzhou yamen has not visited once.

As a result, the aura in the sea became more intense, and the sea species became more rampant. Whether it was a fisherman or a sailing boat, once they went out to sea, they would never return.

Gradually, the entire shipping and fishing industry was forced to stop, and those chambers of commerce stationed in Longcheng fled one after another.

The prosperity is gone, only a desolation remains.

After listening, Jiang Nan took a breath.

Originally, he thought that the reason for the decrease in the production of Lingshi in Hongzhou was that he was greedy by some daring dog.

No matter how boldly he conjectured, it was nothing more than the people in power in Hongzhou betraying Daxia and collaborating with some foreign forces to swallow up the Lingshi.

But he never expected that Hongzhou was not greedy for Lingshi at all.

They just didn't pick...

"correct……"

Maybe it was the money from Jiangnan, the old man said it in great detail, he seemed to think of something again, and said, "At the beginning of January, when the immortal masters opened the mine for the last time, they seemed to grab something."

The old man revealed a look of reminiscence: "They locked up a monster in a huge green iron cage and took it away."

Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows, "Monster?"

"That's right, it's just that it glows with blue light, just like the light on the sea surface, so I can't see the exact shape."

The old man added: "But when it was caught, the sky thundered and it rained heavily for a whole day and night."

Hearing this, Jiang Nan nodded slowly.

"Young man, are you from the land?"

The old man sighed, and sighed: "Old man, I advise you to leave quickly, now only a bad old man like me is left in Longcheng..."

"Thank you old man."

Jiangnan cupped his hands, and then looked at the boundless sea ahead.

The old man followed his gaze, his heart was terrified, and he said anxiously: "Young man, don't be too hard on yourself, going to sea now is a dead end!"

However, when he looked away, where was Jiangnan in front of him?
Only the broken silver in his hand proves that what happened just now is not an illusion.

The old man suddenly reacted.

The young man just now, where is the son of a rich family, this is an immortal teacher!
For a moment, a trace of almost absurd expectation appeared in his mind.

Is it possible for the immortal master who gave him the silver to save this dying Longcheng?
.
On the surface of the sea, the strong wind blows its wings, and the south of the Yangtze River walks through the air.

Following the induction of the green light in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, he flew towards one direction.

On the surface of the sea, there is no wave.

But Jiangnan tried to probe into it with his consciousness, only to find that under the flat mirror-like sea, there are huge sea beasts criss-crossing, with cold eyes and ferocious utterances!
Occasionally, a flying bird approaches the sea surface, and a huge wave will engulf it, like a lurking hunter.

It is conceivable that fishermen and ships cannot move freely under such a threat.

And as the distance gets closer to the place where the green lantern is lit, the giant beast in the sea becomes even bigger.

There are already some faint aura fluctuations entangled all over their bodies, as if they have become demons!

During the gallop, it took a day and a night before Jiangnan arrived at the place where the green light was sensed.

And according to the map, this place is also where the seabed spiritual vein is located.

At this moment, the blue lamp in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled slowly, but it still couldn't be lit.

Only a thought reminded him to go down!
Jiangnan stagnated in the air, looking at the deep sea below, frowning.

Is it possible that the green lantern can only be lit at the bottom of the sea?
But Jiangnan has been a landlubber since he was a child, and he doesn't understand water, and now he doesn't have any magical powers related to water.

Although with his current practice, he no longer needs to rely on breathing to maintain his vitality.

But once in the water, with his current state, the supernatural power will definitely weaken.

Under such circumstances, who knows what hidden dangers lie beneath the deep sea?

In meditation, Jiang Nan thought about various solutions.

For example, go back to the mainland to find some treasures that can avoid water, but it takes too long, and he is not familiar with the place where he was born in Hongzhou, so this is not realistic.

For example, transforming into a sea beast by transforming into a fetus is a perfect solution to the problem of not being able to swim, but he will spend a lot of time studying the physiological structure of sea beasts and then applying it to himself-it may not be successful.

Another example is throwing a beautiful girl into the sea to take a bath, and there will be idiots incarnate as Kuafu scrambling to drink up the water.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a girl, and there are no idiots here.

Thinking, thinking, thinking.

Forget it, don't think about it, just be reckless.

So, Qing Luo, who was still swaying in the sea breeze a moment ago, suddenly felt two fingers pinching her forehead.

"Master?"

The little guy blinked, but before he could react, he was directly put into his pocket by Jiangnan.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyan came out of its sheath!

Jiangnan took a deep breath, grabbed its handle, and pointed to the sea!
In an instant, a majestic sword energy erupted!
fencing!

Open the sea!
The sword energy is like a spiral, converging on the tip of the sword and spinning wildly, bursting towards the bottom of the sea like a source!

Jiang Nan's body also shot out following the fairy sword, like an arrow leaving the string, going forward without hesitation!

The violent sword energy set off a gust of wind, and under the pressure of the sword, the sea water was briefly broken out of a vacuum!
Like a huge meteorite crashing into the bottom of the sea, setting off boundless waves!
Since there is no land, then use magical powers to create a piece of land!
In the deep sea, Jiang Nan's figure and Qing Qing seemed to merge into one.

One person and one sword plunged into the deep sea at an extremely fast speed, and the sword energy circled around his body, blocking the squeeze of the surrounding sea water.

The surrounding sea beasts scattered at the sound, and occasionally a big guy bursting with confidence, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed Qing Qing and Jiang Nan in one gulp!
But before he had time to feel the contents of his stomach, he was crushed inch by inch by the crazy sword energy.

Sword Qi mixed with flesh and blood, like a huge bright red drill bit, piercing towards the bottom of the sea without stopping.

In less than a moment, Jiangnan saw the appearance of the seabed.

It was a magnificent world, the gray stacked rocks were covered with lines emitting blue light, and countless auras spewed out from those lines!

Spirit veins!

And where those scattered spirit veins gathered, a giant oval-shaped pothole appeared in front of Jiangnan.

It exudes a rich blue halo, like the eyes of the sea.

At this moment, Jiangnan can also feel that the place where the sea eye is, is the place where the green lantern is lit!
Daoxing in the body burned crazily, and the sword energy expanded, resisting the terrifying water pressure coming from all sides.

Finally, he reached above the sea eye!

But before he could stand still, a huge suction erupted from Haiyan, sucking his whole body into it!

The light and shadow in front of him changed, and in the blink of an eye, Jiangnan had come to a whole new world.

Suddenly a world away.

This place is obviously under the bottom of the sea, but there is no trace of water vapor, but it is like land.

Colorful gravel covered the ground, strangely shaped trees were inlaid with blue crystals, and there were countless floating fluorescent particles in the air.

Bizarre, like a fairyland!

Looking up, Jiang Nan saw a huge hole above Wang Lan's dome.

As if something was missing.

He looked around, and suddenly found a figure not far away.

people?
Under the deep seabed, human beings appeared in the mirror!
