Chapter 356 Yuzhou

After hearing this, the Xuanwu Sect Master nodded gently and said, "Well, the imperial seal has reappeared in the world, which means something self-evident. The time to go to sea is indeed ripe."

Fang Zhixing asked sternly, "Master, how much do you know about the outer sea?"

The Xuanwu Sect Master replied, "To be honest, many years ago I gathered some companions and went out to sea. We drifted on the sea for 164 years."

Fang Zhixing perked up and pricked up his ears.

The Xuanwu Sect Master recalled: “The outer sea is vast and boundless, with magnificent waves, and ferocious sea beasts can be seen everywhere, some of which are even level six beasts.

Less than half a year after we went to sea, half of our companions died in the mouths of sea beasts. It was a tragic event.

Later, we gradually accumulated a lot of experience in survival at sea, wandered around and adventured, and enjoyed a very exciting trip.

Later, the situation took a turn for the worse. We suddenly encountered a group of terrible birds, which destroyed our ship in a few seconds and all the people on board were killed.

Fortunately, all my companions mastered the ability to fly, and we found a small island to rest.

Unexpectedly, a thick fog came from the sea and covered the island, and even after a long time, the fog did not dissipate.

Soon, we discovered that the island was very strange. From time to time, some evil creatures popped up and we couldn't stop killing them.

So we planned to leave the island. However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get out of the fog.

In this way, we were trapped on the island for 128 years, until the fog dissipated and we left the island. "

Fang Zhixing was horrified when he heard this.

The leader of the Xuanwu Sect was inexplicably trapped on an island for more than a hundred years.

The terror index in the open sea is shockingly high!

The Xuanwu Sect Master sighed, “After leaving the island, our situation has not improved at all, because our supplies have long been used up.

Although we practitioners have strong life force, we will feel hungry and weak if we do not eat for a long time.

There are many strange beasts in the sea, but they cannot be eaten directly, and you cannot eat their raw meat.

Afterwards, we were forced to return home. When we arrived at Dazhou, we were all starving to the point of being skin and bones. It was a horrible sight.”

Fang Zhixing was speechless and smacked his lips, "The outer sea is so dangerous, I really don't know how those people from the previous dynasty got through it?"

The Xuanwu Sect Master responded, "In short, that trip to the sea completely wiped out my ambition. After so many years, I still feel scared when I think of the open sea."

Fang Zhixing said: "This time it's different. With the sea chart and the emperor's fleet, we have a great chance of crossing the ocean and reaching another continent."

The Xuanwu Sect Master said solemnly: "I don't know what the other continent looks like, but I know that the place that those people from the previous dynasty were willing to escape from at all costs, and it must be even more terrifying."

Fang Zhixing understood and responded, "No matter what, I want to give it a try."

The Xuanwu Sect Master nodded and said, "Well, while you are still young, go out and try your luck."

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then asked some details about the open sea and precautions, etc.

After chatting for a while, he glanced at the system panel and asked, "Master, have you heard of the two treasures, 'Wall of Rulers' and 'Stone of Waste'?"

The Xuanwu Sect Master thought for a moment and replied, "The Waste Stone originated from a legend. There was a man in the past who was very lazy from the moment he was born. He was so lazy that he didn't eat, didn't put on clothes when he got up, and never took a bath.

When he grows up, the man becomes a notoriously lazy guy. He does today's work tomorrow and leaves tomorrow's work for tomorrow.

His parents had no choice but to try their best to take care of their lazy son until they died one after another.

Before they died, his parents made a big pancake for their lazy son, made a hole in the middle of the pancake, put it around his neck, and told him to eat a few bites when he was hungry.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the lazy man starved to death because he only ate the pancake in front of his mouth and was too lazy to stretch his head or turn the pancake.

After the lazy man died, no one cared about his body, and over time, it turned into a stone.

In order to learn from the past, later generations named that stone the "蹉跎石".

Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "There are so many lazy people in this world, but not everyone can become a wasted stone."

The Xuanwu Sect Master laughed and said, "So, the Waste Stone is just a legend. However, there are many people who claim that they have collected the real Waste Stone. One of them is very famous. He is one of the four great princes, the King of Hailiu of Yuzhou!"

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and thought what a coincidence, his next step would be to rush to Yuzhou.

The Xuanwu Sect Master added: "As for the Chi Wall, this thing can affect time and space, which is extremely amazing.

There is a rumor that the reason why the emperor of the previous dynasty was defeated by traitors was because those traitors had a ruler in their hands.

Looking across the Great Zhou, if there is a place with a wall of a foot, it must be the royal treasury."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

Then he stood up and said goodbye, heading for Yinian Cave.

"According to the time, Jun Yao has been practicing in the One Year Cave for hundreds of years."

A deep expectation emerged in Fang Zhixing's eyes.

A man and a dog flew into the sky, rushed towards a cloud, and disappeared into it in a flash.

The next moment, the two of them came to another world.

"Haha, Lord Dog is back again!"

The thin dog growled excitedly.

He had been honing his skills in the cave for more than thirty years, becoming the king and conquering countless level five monsters.

After a while, Fang Zhixing flew to the top of Shenmu Mountain and landed outside the cave.

“You’re back!”

The yang spirit clone of the master of Qinglong Peak appeared again.

Fang Zhixing nodded and asked, "Where's Junyao?"

The Yang God clone said carefully: "Jun Yao had been refining the Five Elements Yin Yang Fruit before. It took her fifty-three years to finally succeed in refining it and her cultivation reached the Kai Guang realm. After that, she came out of seclusion. When she heard that you were going to Qianzhou to do business, she went into seclusion again to practice hard."

Fang Zhixing thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for her to come out."

Afterwards, he and the little dog stayed temporarily outside the cave.

And just like that, month after month passed!

When he had nothing to do, Fang Zhixing used the precious materials at hand to forge several top-grade level five swords.

The little dog returned to nature, hunting exotic animals and honing its skills.

In a flash, more than two years have passed.

On this day, Jun Yao broke through the barrier and came out with a powerful aura that rushed straight into the sky, carrying with it an unspeakable sword power.

The Yang God clone showed an admiring expression and sighed, "Hard work pays off. Jun Yao has worked hard to practice the Wuwei Sword Scripture and finally achieved success!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Yao, dressed in a Taoist robe, walked out of the cave.

At this moment, Jun Yao's face was still as beautiful as ever, and there was light flowing around her body, giving her a bit more of the temperament of a sword fairy.

The Jun Yao of the past would make people have evil thoughts when seeing her.

But now, her radiance is so dazzling that one cannot even look at her directly. She is like a beautiful sword that can only shock people with her sharpness!

Fang Zhixing took a closer look and sensed a mysterious and inaction sword spirit in Jun Yao.

This sword intent is as all-embracing as water and as free as the wind.

This sword intent is not bound by fame and fortune, is not entangled by grudges, and is not restrained by obsession.

This sword intent goes with the flow, does nothing, is as good as water, and brings tranquility to all living things.

"What a pity, I am only one step away from a breakthrough to return to my true self." Fang Zhixing sighed in his heart.

"Brother Fang!"

Junyao came out, saw Fang Zhixing at a glance, and ran over happily.

We are so happy to meet again after such a long separation.

"Well……"

Yangshen's clone was speechless. He had protected Junyao for so many years. After all, they were master and disciple, but he was just ignored.

Eh…

Fang Zhixing and Junyao walked into the cave hand in hand and reminisced about the past.

"I want to go to the open sea and leave this isolated island of Da Zhou."

Fang Zhixing told Junyao everything and asked, "Think about it, do you want to stay here and continue practicing or..."

"I'll go with you!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jun Yao.

She said decisively: "No matter where Brother Fang goes, I will follow you."

Fang Zhixing nodded and smiled, then hugged Junyao into his arms and kissed her passionately.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Junyao is strong and healthy now, so she should be indestructible.

…

…

The two men and the dog quietly left the cave.

From the time Fang Zhixing went in and out, only two days had actually passed outside.

Fang Zhixing flipped his hand and took out a magic weapon, which turned out to be a colorful auspicious cloud.

This is a Buddhist flying magic weapon he made himself.

If materials were not limited, he would be able to create colorful auspicious clouds.

With the five-colored auspicious clouds, Fang Zhixing can save at least two-thirds of the energy consumed when flying in the sky.

It saves effort and flies fast! The thin dog is still the same, without much change.

However, he did gain something from the training over the past two years and became a little stronger.

Jun Yao had a sword box on her body, which contained seven swords, all of which were level five weapons!

Including her Heart Sword, which was also upgraded to level five by Fang Zhixing.

The "Wuwei Sword Sutra" practiced by Jun Yao is the infinite sword art, which pursues the unity of all swords!

This means that the more swords she has, the stronger her combat power will be.

With the support of these seven level five swords, Jun Yao has the power to protect herself.

After returning to her true self, no one would be able to do anything to her.

The sky is infinitely high and far. Fang Zhixing rides on the colorful auspicious clouds and flies away.

"They left..."

The head of Qinglong Peak watched them leave, feeling overwhelmed with emotion for a moment, and said softly, "I'm afraid this is a farewell forever, they will never come back."

The Xuanwu Sect Master responded: "All good things must come to an end. Besides, we may meet them again someday."

The Qinglong Peak Master's face changed, and he asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

The Xuanwu Sect Master looked up at the sky and said in deep thought, "I have been waiting for an opportunity to go to the upper world..."

…

…

Fishing state!

Before I knew it, the end of the month had arrived.

Most of the people in Yuzhou make a living by fishing.

These months happen to be the fishing season, which is also the busiest time for fishermen.

Fishing boats of all sizes frequently enter and exit the port, day and night.

Some return with a full load, some return with nothing, each has their own adventure.

The fishermen caught sea fish and sold them inland by water, earning a lot of money.

Therefore, Yuzhou has always been a prosperous place.

Especially in the past ten years or so, the imperial court has mobilized the whole country to build many shipyards in Yuzhou, requisitioned countless laborers, and built ships frantically.

Looking around, there were more than a hundred giant ships docked outside the shipyard.

In order to build these huge ships, the imperial court almost emptied its coffers, and the cost was beyond imagination.

Even so, funds have always been tight and far from enough.

To this end, the emperor did not hesitate to take action personally, plundering the wealth of various states and squeezing the people's fat and blood.

This will inevitably lead to public resentment and endless uprisings in various places.

Colorful auspicious clouds descended from the sky and disappeared into the harbor town in a flash.

Fang Zhixing, Junyao, and Xigou hurried all the way and finally arrived at their destination before the agreed time.

"The Great Black Buddha should be here too."

Fang Zhixing released his spiritual perception and explored the entire town.

Soon, a house caught his attention.

This house looks ordinary, but it is actually shrouded in a dark atmosphere.

In the dark atmosphere, several vague figures were looming.

Soon, the two men and the dog arrived outside the house.

"You are here!"

Before I knocked, someone suddenly opened the door.

The Great Black Buddha appeared calmly. This time she had changed her appearance and became much more beautiful.

She first looked at Fang Zhixing, then at Junyao, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and asked in surprise: "Who is this sister?"

Fang Zhixing introduced her briefly: "Her name is Jun Yao, a true disciple of the Five Elements Sect."

Junyao reached out and held Fang Zhixing's hand, took a step forward, and said with a faint smile: "I guess you are the princess of the previous dynasty. Junyao is here to show her respect."

Seeing this, the Great Black Buddha Mother's expression changed slightly, and she smiled and said, "You are too polite, sister. If you don't mind, how about calling me sister?"

Jun Yao was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly, "This is not good, you seem to be older than my ancestors."

“…”

The Great Black Buddha suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou looked at each other in surprise.

I didn’t expect Junyao’s offensive attributes to be so fierce!

"Come in!"

The Great Black Buddha Mother stepped aside and stretched out her hand in a gesture of invitation.
