Chapter 132 Monsters Are Rampant, Xiao Zi's True Identity
The area south of Da Qi near the sea has always been an uninhabited area. Although it was designated as Da Qi territory, it was only something that other dynasties could not obtain, so the founding emperor of Da Qi simply included it in the territory.
At that time, Emperor Gaozu of Qi sent an army south and finally saw the ocean, but nearly half of the soldiers were killed or injured in the round trip because they encountered too many monsters and evil spirits on the road. This matter has always been regarded as a taboo and has not been spread in the court.
The royal family does not want words to exist, but they can only be illusory and must not make people feel that they are real.
Fang Wang couldn't help but sigh at the importance of cognition to people when he heard Zhao Zhen mention these things.
Limited cognition led him to think that Da Qi was the center of the world when he was young, but he didn't know that Da Qi was very small.
At dusk that day, Fang Wang and Fang Hanyu came to the seaside. Fang Hanyu took out a boat that was five meters long. There was also a two-story attic on the boat. According to Fang Hanyu's introduction, this was a top-grade magic weapon.
Since the trend of going south to seek immortal fate appeared in the Seven Dynasties, this kind of magic weapon began to be produced in abundance, and the price was very high, even more expensive than the same level of flying magic weapons.
Fang Wang took Xiao Zi on the magic ship, and he went to the second floor alone to meditate and practice.
Xiao Zi summoned Zhao Zhen and asked Zhao Zhen to help steer the ship. After Fang Hanyu's simple teaching, Zhao Zhen learned it. As the magic ship set sail, Fang Hanyu meditated on the deck and began to practice.
Zhao Zhen did not feel enslaved at all. On the contrary, he thought it was quite interesting to drive this ship.
The sun sets and the moon rises. The ocean is silent, and there is not even the sound of waves.
Fang Wang walked out of the attic and stood on the balcony to admire the moonlight on the sea. The high moon looked even bigger than on land, as if it would fall at any time.
"The bright moon rises on the sea, and the world is at this time."
Fang Wang couldn't help but sigh, and heard Fang Hanyu, Xiao Zi, and Zhao Zhen look back.
Fang Hanyu couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what does the scripture on the bottom of the Six-Combination Eight-Desolation Seal mean? Is it some kind of unique skill?"
Fang Wang stretched lazily and smiled: "Nothing, just a trick."
The bottom of the Six-Combination Eight-Desolation Seal is engraved with Laozi's Tao Te Ching. When he shaped the Six-Combination Eight-Desolation Seal, he thought of making it huge, preferably covering the sky and the sun. Once it becomes bigger, the bottom will be revealed. If there are profound and mysterious words, it will be even more impressive.
This is indeed the case. After the battle at Tianding Mountain, the monks of various sects all memorized a passage from the Tao Te Ching, and some even began to study it, thinking that these words might be some kind of unique skill or sealing method.
"What are you going to do after finding the master's cave?" Fang Wang asked.
Fang Hanyu replied: "I am not as talented as you, so I can't find a place to practice hard like you. I have to go out and find my own opportunity. I plan to take the path of sword cultivation. I heard from Senior Brother Song that there is a sea area with a strong sword culture. I plan to go and try it." Fang Wang would naturally not dissuade him. Everyone has his own way, just like him. Even with Zhou Xue, a reborn person, by his side, he also wants to make his own way. Fang Hanyu also has a strong heart and even wants to compete with Fang Wang. The two brothers continued to chat. It was rare to have such a moonlight as a scene. The two talked about their childhood from time to time. With Xiao Zi occasionally interrupting, the laughter on the boat never stopped. The night gradually deepened. The Dharma ship traveled thousands of miles a day. It was not fast, but not slow either. It was mainly because Fang Wang and others were. The first few days were very peaceful. They did not encounter powerful monsters or other cultivators. It seemed that there was only their ship left in the vast ocean, and they could not even see an island. Going out to sea
"Look!"
Xiao Zi exclaimed, causing Fang Wang and Fang Hanyu to open their eyes and look. Zhao Zhen's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
He saw a huge monster appear at the end of the sea in the east, like a mountain moving forward. Looking carefully, it was actually a black-haired elephant. The body exposed above the sea was five hundred feet high, and the two long and curved fangs were at least three hundred feet long, which was extremely exaggerated.
The most important thing is that the limbs of this elephant were all in the sea water and did not show up.
"What realm is this monster?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help asking.
Xiao Zi replied: "I don't know, but it is definitely the strongest monster I have ever seen."
As soon as the voice fell, a powerful divine consciousness swept over, causing Fang Hanyu to stand up suddenly, fearing that the monster would attack.
Fang Wang also walked out of the attic and looked at the huge monster in the distance.
The black-haired demon elephant glanced at them but did not move. This glance alone brought great pressure to Fang Hanyu, Xiao Zi, and Zhao Zhen.
Fortunately, the black-haired demon elephant was heading in a different direction from them. Not long after, it disappeared at the end of the seashore.
Xiao Zi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Hanyu sighed, "It's really dangerous on the sea, but fortunately these monsters are not as aggressive as on land."
Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "That's not necessarily true. It's just because we have a stronger existence here. Do you think it was looking at us just now? No, it was looking at the master."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Hanyu and Xiao Zi looked back and found that Fang Wang was surrounded by wisps of white flames.
Fang Wang immediately closed the Tiangang acupuncture points, and his blood and qi returned to normal. He said calmly: "That monster is very strong, I'm afraid it's a little stronger than Xiaoyaoxian. We are unlucky. Such monsters should not be seen often, otherwise those cultivators who went south would have died. 90% of them."
Fang Hanyu thought it made sense, and he was more curious about Fang Wang's strength.
It seems that Fang Wang did not use his full strength when dealing with Xiaoyaoxian.
Such a terrible monster was actually scared away by Fang Wang...
The ship continued to move forward, moving in the direction indicated by Fang Wang. Through the yellow-letter Sword Lord Order, Fang Wang predicted that it would take another month to move forward.
However, on the way, monsters appeared from time to time, and they were generally not weak. Because they were afraid of Fang Wang's breath, those monsters retreated after watching for a while.
Seven days later.
A monster bird with a wingspan of 100 feet flew over from high in the sky. Its body was like a fish, its wings were like an eagle, and its tail was like a lion's tail. When it flapped its wings, a strong wind was blowing.
This time, Fang Hanyu couldn't sit still anymore and called Fang Wang immediately.
Fang Wang came to the deck, his black clothes fluttering in the sea breeze, his eyes looked into the distance, he could feel the demonic energy from all directions getting heavier and heavier.
This means that the monsters encountered before may be sentinels, and a large number of monsters are surrounding them on the seabed.
"Is there something on the ship that attracts them?" Zhao Zhen guessed.
Fang Wang first thought of himself, could it be that the blood of the Tiangang Saint Body is too strong?
Not right, the stronger it is, the weaker monsters dare not approach.
Fang Wang suddenly looked at Xiao Zi.
Fang Hanyu and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but follow his gaze. Xiao Zi was lying on the railing, blinking her snake eyes, looking innocent.
"Young Master, what do you mean, you don't think I'm attracting them, right?" Xiao Zi said aggrievedly.
Fang Wang didn't answer, just looked at Xiao Zi steadily.
He had always felt that Xiao Zi was not an ordinary creature. This guy was not afraid of poison or evil spirits. He could eat the flesh and blood of monsters to quickly become stronger. He also mastered many magic spells of the Great Sage Cave Heaven.
Moreover, this guy could not transform for a long time...
No matter how you look at it, Xiao Zi does not look like an ordinary snake demon...
Xiao Zi was frightened by Fang Wang's eyes. He immediately jumped onto Fang Wang's shoulder, rubbed Fang Wang's face with his snake head, and said coquettishly: "Sir, it's really not me. I don't know why so many monsters are approaching..."
Fang Wang caught it, lifted it in front of him, and asked: "Are you sure you fell into the Great Sage Cave Heaven by accident? And those evil spirits, why did they only catch you and not kill you?"
Xiao Zi widened his snake eyes and muttered: "Are you sure... I think... It seems to be the case..."
It became more and more unsure as it spoke.
Fang Wang couldn't help rolling his eyes, and Fang Hanyu and Zhao Zhen were also surprised.
Could it be that so many monsters were approaching, really coming for Xiao Zi?
Speaking of which, they also felt that this snake demon was not right. They had never seen such a snake demon. Not only was its strength unfathomable, but when it did not transform, its personality was too lively, just like a human taking over a snake body.
Facing Fang Wang's gaze, Xiao Zi said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that I don't remember anything before cultivation. I just met too many monsters and monks who strayed into the Great Sage Cave Heaven, so I thought I accidentally fell in..."
"Then why are you making it up so realistically?" Fang Wang snorted coldly.
Xiao Zi said aggrievedly: "If I don't make it up realistically, I'm afraid you will kill me, young master, you are so cruel. I still feel pain when I was stabbed by the sword..."
Fang Wang was speechless.
Xiao Zi hurriedly said: "Young master, I really don't know why they are staring at me. I don't even know my origins... Don't be angry!"
After so many years of getting along, there is affection after all. Fang Wang will naturally not be really angry, but he is very curious about Xiao Zi's true origins.
Speaking of which, Fang Wang met the spirit of the weapon in the Falling Sky Secret Realm, but he did not meet it in the Great Sage Cave Heaven.
Thinking carefully, apart from him bringing out living creatures, no other cultivators have ever brought out monsters from inside.
Could it be...
Fang Wang's eyes changed when he looked at Xiao Zi, making Xiao Zi tremble.
"Master, don't kill me, Xiao Zi will definitely be good, I will never lie to you again..." Xiao Zi's voice was filled with tears.
Zhao Zhen, who had always been bullied by Xiao Zi, showed a gloating look.
Fang Wang let it go and said, "Then you should recall it carefully and see if you can remember anything."
Fang Hanyu walked to the side of the boat, looked into the distance, and said, "Fang Wang, if this goes on, we will be in trouble sooner or later."
Fang Wang was not panicked. He said calmly, "There must be more resources needed to venture out on the sea. It's just right to kill these monsters to get pills and hone combat power. Hanyu, you are not afraid, are you?"
"Afraid? How is that possible!"
Fang Hanyu took out his sword directly, with a high-spirited posture.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Should we take action in advance?"
Fang Wang replied: "With such a formation, there must be a leader behind these monsters. Instead of wasting spiritual energy, it is better to wait for it to show up. Then kill it and the dilemma will naturally be resolved."
