After the immortal disappeared

Bai Qiqi whispered: "Perhaps it's because Master Qianhuan's spirit gathering formation was destroyed and he can no longer absorb spiritual energy."

"That's the truth." The spirit-gathering formation on Baimao Mountain unexpectedly stopped. If Qianhuan Zhenren had no other formations to absorb souls, Tuansihai would have been cut off for more than half a year.

If the spiritual energy is thinner, humans and other creatures can still survive, but immortals will die sadly.

"So, there must be people on the island who are worried, but unfortunately they can't get out before the storm opens." Bai Ziqi analyzed, "The biggest variable in this trip is that the state of Master Qianhuan is unpredictable. I heard that he should have come out to take charge of Lingshan. But he has never entered the world. It can be seen that something happened to the cave or something happened to him. "

"But his giant dragon had just escaped from Yao Palace not long ago and is likely to return here. Therefore, the people on the island, including Qian Huan himself, may be on guard." Facing an opponent of this magnitude, Bai Ziqi was also extremely cautious. , "It's still early, there's no rush to get to the island."

The Silver Pearl Island lying quietly on the sea made him feel uneasy.

…

The moment He Lingchuan jumped off the boat and walked onto the dock, he always felt as if he was back at the dock in Julu Port.

There are crisp bells everywhere, which means that the fishing boats are returning to the port and need to unload their cargo;

The boatmen and laborers who had been waiting at the dock for a long time came up in a swarm to carry the fishing goods, and the skuas who couldn't steal anything got angry and pecked their hair.

Behind the pier is a lively seafood market, where freshly landed aquatic products are wholesale and retailed immediately, with traders and fishermen bargaining everywhere. Wan Qifeng and others just pinching their noses is not enough, they have to hold their breath and rush through the market, otherwise they will faint from the stench that towers into the sky!

However, I couldn’t walk quickly because the market was crowded with people. The soft sand had long been trampled hard, and there had been salty rain just now, so the boots made a squeaking sound when they stepped on the muddy water in the potholes.

Walking in the market, you get the salty and wet feeling of being stuck in mud, which is real but uncomfortable.

After finally squeezing out of the market, everyone said "ah" and let out a long breath.

Oh my god, come to life.

Dong Rui shook the red fruit tied around his neck: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm well prepared."

Aunt Zhu didn't care. The sense of smell of spiders is different from that of humans, so she didn't think it was "stinky" at all.

However, its body shape is different. It was separated from everyone as soon as it got off the boat, and it was only connected through the eyeball spider.

These clothed humans need to eat, rest and bathe, which is a lot of trouble, but it doesn't use them.

He Lingchuan and others wandered at sea for ten days, huddled in a small and uncomfortable cabin all day long, pushed swaying by the waves, and finally kept their feet on the ground. The first thing they did was to find an inn to change clothes and eat.

However, they were surrounded by people before they even stepped off the pier.

The three- or four-year-old child looked at them blankly with a runny nose and an open mouth. The two aunts holding him on his arm were also pointing at them from behind.

"It's so weird, what kind of clothes are you wearing!"

"Not like the people on our island."

The colors and materials of the clothes of He Lingchuan and others are indeed very different from those of the island residents.

"Could it be from outside? The wind wall has just subsided... Ah, has your man returned from going to sea? The first ship of seafood after setting sail was sold at a premium!"

There was also an eleven or twelve-year-old child who wanted to touch He Lingchuan's clothes when he came up, but was frightened away by Wan Qiliang's bullet on the forehead.

No matter where they went, there was a group of followers behind them. It wasn't until they entered the inn that the crowd outside gradually dispersed.

The black-armored military guards all murmured, saying they had never seen the world.

Dong Rui whispered: "These islanders rarely see outsiders."

The buildings on the island are all made from local materials, mainly bamboo, wood, palm, and coconut fiber. The surfaces are painted and the construction methods are relatively primitive, so three-story buildings are very rare. However, the outer walls of some houses are made of Sanhe soil, with neat white shells embedded on the surface as decoration.

He Lingchuan noticed that there was often a square pot placed at the end of the streets they walked through, some made of pottery, wood, or stone, with more or less black-gray embers remaining inside.

Eyeball Spider specifically reported Aunt Zhu’s complaint: “The smell in the basin is bad, it’s offensive to the nose.”

Everyone looked sideways.

We just passed the smelly fish market, and the burrowing spider didn't change its color. Now we encountered several small pots, and no one smelled anything, but it felt nauseated?

By the way, where is it hiding? He Lingchuan looked around but didn't see it.

Lingguang jumped down and sniffed the basin several times. She even pinched a small piece of ashes and came back and said to He Lingchuan:

"迿 basin! Put five poisons and five herbs into this basin and burn them. The smell is very special."

Strictly speaking, Aunt Zhu is also one of the "five poisons", so she doesn't like the smell in the basin.

"What for?"

"It's for exorcising ghosts." Dong Rui said from the side, "Burning five poisons and five herbs together is a very ancient method of exorcising ghosts."

For him, ancient = outdated, and they are no longer used.

Everyone found it novel. Yinzhu Island is the territory of Qianhuan Zhenren, how can this place be haunted?

The ghost ape bared its teeth and chirped several times.

No one understood it, but it didn't look like it had said anything nice.

Dong Rui translated for it: "The monkey said, this ghost might have been set by Qian Huan. It is a mirage, what can't it pretend to be?"

Everyone laughed, but Aunt Zhu lowered her voice: "Do you feel like you are being watched?"

Wan Qifeng and others looked at each other and shook their heads.

They are all warriors with keen spiritual senses, and they usually practice diligently, but this time they really didn't notice anything strange.

Speaking of which, everyone on the road was staring at these outsiders, and they always felt like they were being watched.

He Lingchuan frowned. Silver Pearl Island always made him feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell why.

He turned into another main street, and the street was so crowded that the crowd was shouting angrily, throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at a building.

He Lingchuan heard the words "harming others will pay with your life", and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a restaurant. The sign "Longxiang Restaurant" was very new, and even the paint was newly painted not long ago, and you could smell it from a distance.

The door of the restaurant was closed, and it was unknown whether no one was there or dared not to come out.

After watching the bustle, He Lingchuan and others continued to move forward and soon found an inn. There was a sign hanging under the eaves of the door, with a pattern of a pancake + a wine pot painted on it, and two lines of bold font below:

Huangfeng Tavern.

Meals, accommodation, and orders.

There was also a talisman hanging above the door, with red characters on yellow paper, and it looked like it had been replaced not long ago.

When they were staying at the hotel, they found that copper coins and silver notes were not accepted here. The main currency in circulation locally was called sea jade, which was the size of a thumb and as smooth as an ox horn. Their specific material was unknown. There were small holes on it for threading ropes. It came in three colors: red, yellow and green. Green had the lowest purchasing power, while red had the highest.
