Chapter 397 Shenhua Island (1/2)
The ship departed from Whale Fall City and sailed on the sea for two days before arriving at Shenhua Mountain. Or it can also be called Shenhua Island.
From a distance, someone stood on the bow, pointing at the mountain in the sea and shouting: "Shenhua Mountain!!!" His excited tone and hopeful eyes seemed as if the Shenhua Immortal on Shenhua Mountain was waving to him.
Then someone couldn't wait for the ship to dock, so he flew up and flew directly from the deck to Shenhua Mountain. And when one person flew up, countless others flew up. The deck seemed like a place where birds lived in groups. Birds flew up one by one, covering the sky and the sun. More than a hundred people flew to Shenhua Mountain.
Qin Ran had already changed his body shape and face by relying on the uniqueness of the water clone.
He stood on the deck and waited for a while. Seeing that the first group of people who flew to the island were not attacked or in any danger, he used his body skills and flew to the island among the equally cautious group of monks.
Shenhua Mountain is really a mountain. It is not a small hill with a head in the sea, but a mountain thousands of meters above the sea level, rising straight into the sky.
The waist of the mountain is also very large. From this end, you can see that the tangent of the mountain extends between the sea and the sky. The hundreds of people who flew up from the boat landed on the island and were not noticeable at all. If you want to find these people, you have to pay attention to find them.
This ship is obviously not the first ship to Shenhua Mountain. There are more than a dozen large ships parked at the foot of the mountain and on the coast.
And not all the cultivators who come to Shenhua Mountain to seek opportunities come by boat. Many of them fly or swim.
So in addition to the hundreds of people on this ship, there are already quite a few people on the island and the mountain.
Qin Ran took a veiled glance in the air and saw people on the island, on the mountainside, and on the top of the mountain. He conservatively estimated that from the side he saw, there must be more than a thousand people.
The reputation of Shenhua Mountain, the inheritance of the old demon Shenhua, and the temptation of Shenhua Xian Ning can be seen. Many people are like this. Even if they can't break the seal, they will still come... What if someone breaks the seal? Maybe they can find a loophole.
Qin Ran searched for a while before finding a remote and deserted place. After he landed, he carefully checked the surrounding area, and then came back, pulled out a bubble, and wrapped himself in it.
In his bubble, he took out a map from his Qiankun bag.
This map is the map he got from Tie Ruonan. When he was on the boat, he was careful about things like the Yuanshen mark, so he kept it sealed and didn't dare to look at it. It was the first time to open it now.
Although he didn't know what this map was for, it was the map that Tie Ruonan brought with him when he came to Shenhua Island. It must have a great relationship with Shenhua Island.
So instead of studying the seal of Shenhua Island from scratch like a headless fly, he might as well get Tie Ruonan's map and follow the map. Maybe he will gain something.
Qin Ran removed his Yuanshen seal, checked the map again, and confirmed that there was no problem before opening the map.
He opened his eyes and saw an extremely simple map. It was like a child's graffiti, a line drawing. It was barely possible to tell that the waves he drew were water, and the triangles in the water were mountains. As for what the red dot on the mountain was, no one knew.
This map requires bold guesses to guess that it is the Shenhua Mountain in front of us, and it requires a little brainpower to see that its destination is the red dot on the mountain.
But that's all.
To be honest, this painting is really a bit abstract.
Even if Qin Ran compares it with the Shenhua Mountain in front of him, he can't tell what is drawn on this painting.
He frowned and looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't see what the mystery of this map was.
"Originally, it was said that there was a starting anchor point, but I couldn't understand the map."
Qin Ran laughed at himself, shook his head, sealed the map again, and threw it into the Qiankun bag.
It's better to be honest and study the seal of Shenhua Mountain from scratch.
But just as he put the map into his bag, he suddenly realized something... It's not that he discriminates against Tie Ruonan, but if he can't understand this map, how can Tie Ruonan understand it?
Unless there is another secret in this map!
Unless this is a map that only Tie Ruonan can understand!
Thinking of this, his hair stood on end! If this map is a map that only Tie Ruonan can understand, then there must be marks on it that only Tie Ruonan can find.
He hurriedly used the Mirror Flower Water Moon, and his figure flashed. A figure jumped out of his body, drilled straight out of the bubble, and plunged into the ground.
And Qin Ran's figure took out the map and continued to study it in the same place.
Not long after studying, a knife light slashed from a distance. Perhaps the power of the knife light was too overbearing. It cut the bubble open with one knife, and Qin Ran in the bubble was also split in half, without any resistance.
The knife flashed down, and the rocky ground cracked, and following the knife flash, a sturdy woman flew over. She landed on the ground with a "thump", holding a sword in her hand, her tiger eyes like ice, staring at the split Qin Ran on the ground.
"You dare to lie to me?!"
She approached with the sword in her hand, and used the tip of the sword to pick up the two halves of Qin Ran's body to confirm that he was dead. Then she picked up the map on the ground.
She felt it a little, confirmed that it was her map, and then opened the map, raised her finger, and forced a drop of blood to drip on the map.
As this drop of her blood fell, the map with simple sketches changed instantly and turned into a landscape painting with clear pen and ink. The mountains and rivers in the painting were clear, and every plant, tree, stone and two birds seemed real.
And that landscape is nowhere else but the Shenhua Mountain in front of you. There is also a red dot on this map, but this red dot is clear and distinct. It marks a platform groove halfway up the mountain, which also corresponds to the Shenhua Mountain in front of us.
This was exactly her map, and Tie Ruonan, a strong woman, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If this map is lost from her hand, it won't be enough for her to die ten thousand times.
At this time, several monks flew behind her. She noticed it, and promptly returned the map in her hand to its graffiti-like shape, rolled it up, and held it in her hand.
Several people landed, and a man in red clothes looked at the corpse on the ground, then squinted at Tie Ruonan, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it him?"
Tie Ruonan replied: "That's him, he has been killed by me."
As she spoke, she swung her knife again, and the light of the knife spun around, and the two halves of the corpse on the ground suddenly turned into countless halves.
She fulfilled her promise and cut the painting thief into pieces.
"I hope you didn't leak it." The man in red sneered.
"You don't need to worry about it!" Tie Ruonan turned around, flew up, and flew up the mountain.
The man in red smiled sadly, said nothing, showed his body, and flew away with Tie Ruonan and a few others.
After Tie Ruonan and the others flew away, the body fragments on the ground slowly turned into water, and the water flowed around, soaking the ground.
After a while, there was nothing but the wet ground.
And on the wet ground, a figure slowly emerged.
He raised his head and looked at the direction in which Tie Ruonan was going, and chuckled: "Throw stones...ask for directions."
He closed his eyes and his spirit was extremely clear.
It's almost night, somewhere halfway up Shenhua Mountain. There are flowers, plants and trees growing here, as well as the chirping of birds, animals and insects. It looks no different from other places. When the wind blows, the flowers, plants and trees sway, and the chirping of insects and birds will stop for a while.
Tie Ruonan and several men in red flew from a distance and landed under an ancient pine tree. After they landed, they continued to move forward, but as they walked, their figures disappeared into the open space in front of them. It was as if they had entered another dimension, and their figures had disappeared and faded.
"The soul mark is missing?" Qin Ran frowned, speeding up and approaching the place where Tie Ruonan disappeared.
He squatted on the branch of a big tree and looked at the open space from a distance.
"Has it been discovered?" he thought, "Impossible. How could Tie Ruonan show that map to others? Those people don't have any spiritual masters."
"Array?" He looked at the open space and faintly sensed the breath of the array runes. "Trapped array? Illusion array? Killing array? Or is it simply a hidden array?"
Because he was too far away, he couldn't check what the formation was.
"Wait, wait..." Qin Ran rubbed his eyebrows and thought again, "The owner of Dragon Whale Island has a map. The direction the map points to is a place on Shenhua Mountain. This place has specially set up an array. "The law covers."
"So what's in this formation?"
For an island owner to set up a formation in this place from such a long distance, it is definitely not for leisure and entertainment.
What is that for? It's easy to think of.
What is there in Shenhua Mountain? The inheritance of Shenhua Laomo, deified Xian Ning.
"Ah!" Thinking of this, Qin Ran couldn't help but patted his head, "I'm such a fucking idiot! I just know that the seal of the old devil Shenhua is difficult to open, and the conditions for collecting seven elixirs are simply impossible, but I actually I haven't thought deeply about how tempting the things inside are to the monks.
"I actually forgot that when the temptation is strong enough, the oppressors can do anything."
Will these island owners allow this treasure mountain to be seen or used?
Obviously not!
Can't collect all seven elixirs?
Okay, let’s not stop here. There are more than 3,600 heretical methods. There is always someone who can break the seal of your Shenhua Mountain!
"This is obviously the arrangement of the owner of Longjing Island against Shenhua Mountain." He reacted, "If the owner of Longjing Island can arrange it, other forces in the Tianlan Sea area can also arrange it. In fact, all the forces have not given up on Shenhua. The inheritance of the old devil.”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, wouldn't he have entered the arena where these big forces were wrestling again?
And this time, he had a feeling that it was him who caused the Shenhua Mountain incident. He is the butterfly flapping its wings.
He wanted to find Shenhua Xianning, so he had to ask Mr. Zhai for information, so he knew that Mr. Zhai, that old bastard, would cause harm behind the scenes. But now it seems that as soon as Mr. Zhai took action, the owner of Longjing Island noticed the anomaly and immediately followed the trend, promoting the fermentation of this incident, and then other islands... other forces also followed suit.
This triggered the Shenhua Mountain incident.
"One more thing..." Qin Ran thought, "They have been seeking the inheritance of the old demon Shenhua, and they have always had arrangements in Shenhua Mountain. But! Why do they want so many people to come to Shenhua Mountain? This obviously affects their arrangement. Impact. Unless..."
He thought of a possibility, "Someone among them needs these casual cultivators for their arrangements. But what can the casual cultivators do? What help can the casual cultivators do?"
At this moment, Tie Ruonan came out of nowhere in the woods with a sword in hand. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was full of murderous intent. Behind her, there were more than a dozen monks dressed in black, also holding swords and with murderous intent.
Qin Ran's heart trembled. He looked up and saw that it was getting dark.
He suddenly remembered a piece of news that he had subconsciously ignored, that is, every incident in Shenhua Mountain would be accompanied by killing and many people would die. He thought that there was a crisis in the inheritance land, and it was normal for monks to gather and fight for treasures.
Everyone can go and try it quickly. 】
But now it seems...
It's not normal. At least there is no crisis in the inheritance land in Shenhua Mountain.
