After a ten-day voyage, the ship arrived at Beiling Island.

The so-called Beiling Island refers to dozens of small islands within a radius of 100 miles, and it may be more appropriate to call it the Beiling Islands. Covered in snow and ice, the archipelago looks like a series of glittering silver icebergs from a distance, striking and strange against the dark waters.

It is reported that this place is remote and cold, and was originally uninhabited, and was used by Yuehua Mountain as a place for disciples to practice and penance. And a large number of loose cultivators also often come to explore the secluded. Those who are stranded will stay on the island temporarily, or choose a place to retreat, hoping for an opportunity, or welcome a send-off to earn the cost of cultivation. Over time, the islands gradually became inhabited.

A small island where the big ship docks is a stopover for transit. The icebergs along its shore have been carved out of caves, and there are even signs hanging up indicating the location of wine shops and inns, and they are managed by monks.

Everyone went ashore and poured into the inn one after another.

Wu Yi stood on the shore with a curious look.

The rest of the square is piled up with ice, like a large iceberg more than ten zhang high, shining under the bright skylight. On the sea in all directions, Iceland of different sizes is reflected in the ice light and dazzling, which can be called a wonder of heaven and earth.

I remember that among the known diagrams, there is no such place as Beiling Island. It's really a heaven out of the sky, and there are no wonders!

Blameless looked at it for a moment, and then walked towards the inn.

In the waters along the shore behind him, there were not only large boats moored here, but also a few small boats made of animal skins. According to Sangkui, he was to hunt with the people, return, and then leave with them. However, the price of the ship will be doubled at that time.

A chiseled doorway, coupled with an animal skin curtain, and a wine flag diagonally planted in front of the door, is where the inn is located.

Lift the door curtain, a cold ice cave of more than ten zhang size appears in front of you, the counters, tables and stools are complete, but they are all ice carved and chiseled, under the illumination of the pearl, the eyes are full of crystal translucent.

The twenty newcomers have already sat down one after another, each holding the wine jar and pushing the glass to change the lamp. On the table, there is a jade plate of barbecued meat, which is steaming and tempting.

Wu Ji found a place in the corner and sat down, next to the middle-aged man named An Ming. The other party smiles and stretches out his hand to invite. He picked up a piece of roast meat and tasted it, but he couldn't taste it. Qi Sanren was not far away, just holding the wine jar and drinking, that old man didn't seem to recognize himself anymore, and the philistine's face was disgusting.

While Gongjin and the others were eating and drinking, they did not forget to discuss related matters with the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper Liang, Liang Daoyou, and rent me a few shark boats, you can return in ten days, and you will settle the bill together at that time......"

"Well, that's easy to say. The summer in Beilinghai is short, and it is best for you to return within two months, otherwise you will inevitably encounter dangerous ......."

"Thank you for reminding you, if you are interested in going along, please report your name, and I have a word in advance, I have something to gain, I must take out two components to bear the cost......"

"Peers, peers ......"

"Count me in ......"

The shopkeeper is an old man, a master of the eighth layer of Yushi, with a wooden expression, claiming to be surnamed Liang, and partnering with another monk to run several small islands. And in his wine shop, in addition to the altar wine, there are all kinds of pickled seafood, which he barbecues and sells to everyone to enjoy, but refuses to accept gold and silver, only spiritual stones and treasures from the deep sea. In addition, he has boats for rent. It is said that the islands are covered with ice floes, or ice cubes, which are not conducive to the navigation of large ships, and only special boats can be unimpeded.

The sea area where Beiling Island is located is called Beiling Sea.

After a while, everyone ate and drank, and under the leadership of Gongjin, accompanied the shopkeeper Liang out of the wine shop.

Blameless followed to the shore.

There were four small boats parked along the shore, each more than two feet long and three or five feet wide, supported by fish bones, covered with black animal skins, and placed with oars, which looked sturdy but slightly elongated, and could hold four or five people at most.

Under the gesture of Gongjin and Liang's shopkeeper, he beckoned the fellow Taoist friends to take a small boat. He himself, together with five or six monks, Sangkui, took another slightly larger boat that had been unloaded from the sea boat, and made a mutual agreement with the others that if they were separated on the way, they might as well return on their own, and meet here again in a month. A moment later, the boat he was in was the first to leave the shore, and then the light flickered, like the wind, and then a white wave was drawn on the surface of the sea and faded away.

Seeing this, the monks on the shore did not slack off, and jumped into the boat one after another, and then the oars were rowed, and the sound of waves and laughter came and went.

Qi Sanren and two middle-aged men were in the same boat, one of whom was the guy who sold sea dragon stones. Shallow and easy to see, the three of them have their own places to go. Wu Yi still wanted to be with Lao Dao, but who expected that people would ignore it at all, he stood silently on the shore, alone with a depressed face.

"If you don't have a friend, why don't you go along?"

Someone greeted him warmly, it was the middle-aged monk named An Ming, and there was also a strong man and an old man in the same boat. The remaining two boats, each with three or four people, have left the shore one after another.

Blameless shrugged his shoulders, agreed with a smile, and then jumped into the boat, and thanked him: "Thank you, Brother An, and please Peng Daoyou and Dong Daoyou take care of me, hehe......"

After getting along with each other on the sea ship for many days, he knew the names of the strong man and the old man, and remembered that one was called Dong Shi and the other was Peng Jin. And the other party just snorted in his nose and stopped looking at him. He sat alone and carefully in the bow of the boat, and before his ass had yet to sit down, the boat suddenly swung slightly, and then jumped out like an arrow from a string. He let out an "oops" and hurriedly leaned down.

There is no abnormality.

Blameless smiled again, and then he could settle down.

But I saw An Ming sitting at the stern of the boat, waving the oars, and smiling, but the smile was a little ambiguous. The other two sat in the middle of the boat, their expressions unknown.

Blameless turned around slowly, the sea breeze blowing in his face. His eyes narrowed, and he shushed secretly.

I saw the waves all around, and the boat was bubbling up and down. The sea, which had been quiet before, suddenly became unpredictable, sometimes endless, sometimes only a whirlpool, as if the whole world was shaking, making people dazed.

Dozens of feet away, there are three other boats jumping up and down, like three strange sea fish, galloping freely in the vast and boundless sea. There were four small boats in front and back, and they went in one direction. The boat of Gongjin and the others is gone.

"Hehe! The boat is made of the bones and fur of sea sharks, so it is called shark boat, which is not only light from water, but also very easy to maneuver, and it is as fast as castration at sea, comparable to a trip to resist the wind......"

Blameless glanced back and grinned noncommittally.

While waving the oars, An Ming continued with a smile: "Thousands of miles away, there is another large archipelago, called Beixuan Island, which is a place where sea beasts gather, and there are even the remains of the cave mansion of ancient monks......

Blameless curled up in the bow of the boat, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that thousands of years ago, there was another scene here, otherwise who would have gone to this cold and remote place to cultivate ......?"

Although he does not consider himself a monk, he does not lack the vision of a monk. Rather than seeming, this Beiling Island, or Beiling Sea, is still okay to occasionally find opportunities, and it is not the best place to cultivate. Who doesn't like a fairyland with all four seasons like spring, so why bother asking for hardship.

"Hehe, in ancient times, Beiling Sea was not the extreme northern Jedi, but the main road to the outside world, with endless ferries coming and going, and even monks settled on desert islands on the way. Leaving the remains of the cave mansion is no longer ordinary. Now it's cut off, so ......"

"Why?"

"It is rumored that the Nine Kingdoms of Shenzhou offended the immortals outside the territory, so they were banned by the Great Mana. Whether it's true or not, I don't know......"

"Oh, has no one ever left Shenzhou?"

"At least for 10,000 years, I haven't heard of it!"

"I see......"

"Hehe, it seems that you are not a monk of Niu Li Kingdom, and you don't know anything about the legend of Beiling Sea. Is that Qisan from the same place as you, and why did he abandon you?"

"Ah...... I don't know Qi Laodao well, he borrowed a lot of spirit stones, and he came here with him, who wants him to ignore me anymore, hum......"

"It seems that there are not many spirit stones left on your body, yes or no?"

"Well, how do you know?"

"Hehe......"

The boat continued to ride the wind and waves on the sea, but it was not to blame but had no heart to speak. He turned to look silently ahead, his eyes flickering.

I don't know if it's true or false in that Anming's words, as if he didn't deceive himself for a reason.

Ban Shenzhou?

Oh my God, how much magic power must there be to ban all the vast land of Shenzhou, it's unimaginable!

And if this is the case, wouldn't the Nine Kingdoms of Shenzhou become the place where a cage is? What kind of immortals to cultivate, what kind of heaven to ascend, after all, it is just tossing around in a cage, and the so-called leisure is pure self-deception!

Nanling Kingdom is the inland of Shenzhou, and the news is inevitable, so I have not heard the relevant legends. And Qi Sanren, as the master of the door, doesn't he know anything about this?

No, he knows!

He once said to himself: The extreme north, Miao Miao black water, the swimming dragon is out, and the heaven and earth are yellow. Four paragraphs, clearly alluding to!

In addition, I once met a mysterious old man in Lingxia Mountain, and I didn't know why at the time, but now that I think about it, that person's cultivation is far higher than that of several elders. There are also the legends of the Nine Star Divine Sword and Cangqi, which all mean that the Shenzhou in the past was not simple. And the hateful old way, but he never mentioned it!

......

Hours passed, and the sky was as bright as ever.

The group of four went straight north in a small boat, and after leaving Beiling Island, they passed through the sea area covered with ice floes, and stopped in front of an Iceland. And the other three boats, as well as the figures of Gongjin and others, have long disappeared.

An Ming and his two partners jumped on the shore, pulled the rope and iron drill to tie the boat tightly, and turned back and called: "No Taoist friend, you and I are the four of us to go together, don't leave without permission, hehe......" He had something to say, clearly thinking about the safety of the boat.

Wu Yi had no choice but to jump ashore and asked, "How many days will you stay here, what do you want?"

The strong man's name is Dong Shi, his face is quite white, but his eyes are gloomy, and he said impatiently: "Long-winded!"

The old man's name is Peng Jin, his temper is not bad, and he replied lightly: "At least three or five days, at most half a month." As for what to do, why should you pretend to be stupid?"

An Ming didn't say anything, waved his hand and strode away.

Blameless looked embarrassed, and his black face was full of helplessness.

Alas, I was harmed like this by the old way, I don't have to pretend to be stupid at all, but really stupid!

But these three partners are shrewd......
