Chapter 677 Seaside Town
That night, there was an occasional cool breeze, accompanied by the sound of the waves, echoing unusually loudly in the silent night sky.
On the slightly cool beach, several pieces of discarded iron were scattered without a track. They looked like the remains of a furnace tripod, with all kinds of mysterious patterns engraved on them, and a faint glow of fire. If they were pieced together, they might show a magical effect, but now they are broken into pieces and there is no clue.
Beside the remains of the broken tripod, a man in black clothes was lying on the beach, half of his body was buried in mud and sand, and the other half was constantly washed by the sea water. He floated up and down with the impact of the waves, but he didn't wake up for a long time.
Probably dead!
But after an unknown amount of time, the "dead" man moved his fingers slightly, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he sat up from the beach with a "squeak".
After waking up, the man was stunned for a moment and then touched his chest with a vigilant face. He relaxed a little after finding that the jade gourd hanging on his chest was still safe.
This man was Ye Chunyang who escaped from the vortex of the void.
"Is the Liuwu Hanyuan Ding broken? Where am I?"
He looked sideways at the fragments of the furnace tripod beside him, frowned, and his face was slightly absent-minded, but suddenly he thought of something and looked around hurriedly, only to find that there was no one else on the huge beach except himself.
"It seems that she also failed to escape the strangulation of the vortex of the void?" Ye Chunyang sighed.
Before being drawn into the vortex, he was still holding Yu Wanqing in his arms, but now she has disappeared, and I am afraid she has probably died in it!
"Senior, are you still there?" Ye Chunyang thought of Guanglingzi who had always been by his side, and hurriedly sent a message to Yanglingmu.
"I'm here..."
A weak voice came into his mind. It was Guanglingzi. Although it sounded a little bad, it was not a big deal.
"I'm glad that you're okay, senior. I thought we were doomed to be involved in the void vortex this time, but fortunately we escaped by luck." Ye Chunyang was happy.
"We really survived this disaster. You and I are connected by fate. If you die, I will follow you." Guanglingzi seemed to have recovered a little at this time, and there was a bit of joking in his words.
"That can only mean that I, Ye Chunyang, should not die. Otherwise, with such a powerful void vortex, I'm afraid you and I will not be able to escape." Ye Chunyang rolled his eyes, and there was a trace of relief in his heart.
When he was in the tendril void vortex, he thought that the hope of survival was slim, and now he was relieved to be alive.
However, Ye Chunyang knew that this was not the time to sigh. After a thorough inspection, he found that his mana had been completely consumed. He immediately patted his Qiankun bag and took out a bottle of Tongling Spring Water, then practiced Qigong and regulated his breathing for a week before his cultivation recovered.
"Senior, can you tell where this place is?" After his mana was restored, Ye Chunyang looked around and asked Guanglingzi.
This beach was extremely vast, with no one around, and no spiritual energy for cultivators to absorb. He couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart. Such a strange place is rare.
"I am only a Nascent Soul, and I am not familiar with the territory of Tianxinghai. How can I tell where this place is?"
Guanglingzi said unhappily.
After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "But as far as I know, the vortex of the void is usually unstable and can appear or disappear at any time. Ordinary people who are sucked into it will never survive. Now you and I are lucky enough to survive. We should be teleported to a certain place, but where this place is and how far it is from the Tianxing Sea is unknown."
Ye Chunyang's eyebrows slightly gathered. After thinking for a while, his consciousness extended to the surroundings for several miles, but he still could not feel a trace of human beings.
"No matter what, let's leave here first."
After investigating for a while, Ye Chunyang drove away without hesitation.
Although the vortex of the void is powerful, if he can escape, others may be able to do so. This time, after taking the golden lotus and leaving, the masters of various sects will definitely not give up. They need to wait for an opportunity to inquire about the situation nearby before hiding.
"Huh? That place is..."
After flying along the seashore for about 800 miles, Ye Chunyang's expression moved, frowned, and suddenly changed direction and flew to another place.
After half a cup of tea, a small town came into view clearly in the faint morning light. But after a brief investigation, he looked strange. This seaside town was full of mortals, and there was no immortal cultivator. This made him hesitate.
He wanted to inquire about the news of the immortal world. How could mortals know?
After thinking for a few times, Ye Chunyang finally stopped the escape light and fell to the formation. Although mortals might not know the news of the immortal world, they could always ask about the situation here from the air.
The buildings in this town looked a bit old. Although the streets and houses were densely packed, they all looked very shabby. Even when you approached, you could smell a musty smell due to long-term humidity. But Ye Chunyang didn't care about it. He walked in along the street without stopping.
The morning sun penetrated through the clouds, bringing a hint of warmth, and people on both sides of the street began to get busy. Shops were opened one after another, with peddlers and pedestrians doing business, giving off the atmosphere of an early morning market.
It had been a long time since Ye Chunyang had been immersed in this atmosphere. Walking on the bustling old streets, an inexplicable memory unconsciously came to his mind.
It must have been when he was still working as a small cook in the Su family. At that time, he had never entered the immortal world. He was just like the pedestrians on this street who spent all day long, rushing to the market every day before dawn to purchase various goods and ingredients.
Recalling the long-dusted memory of his youth, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but shook his head, with a wry smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
A mortal's life is mediocre, and after more than ten years, there is no trace. If it were not for a chance encounter, I am afraid that I would be a middle-aged man now, right?
After taking another look at the ordinary people in the surrounding market, Ye Chunyang sighed in his heart, and then walked towards a teahouse in front of him with a normal expression. After sitting down, he used magic to conjure up some silver coins, and the waiter threw them all away.
In this remote place, the waiter had never seen so much silver before. He couldn't help but be ecstatic when he received it. However, when he saw that this person had an extraordinary bearing, which was very different from the customers he had treated in the past, he immediately knew that this person was not just a customer. It's so simple to come here to drink tea. I immediately glanced at the front desk and quickly accepted the money. Then I poured tea and greeted Ye Chunyang with a flattering look: "I wonder what your guest has to say? If you can find me useful, I will definitely give it to you." It’s obligatory.”
When Ye Chunyang saw the waiter coming up to the shop, there was a hint of approval in his eyes. He immediately took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Waiter, let me ask you, where is the place?"
For Ye Chunyang, the most important thing at this moment is to figure out where he is and understand the surrounding situation clearly before making the next plan.
The waiter was slightly startled when he heard this question, as if he was a little surprised by this, and then he looked hesitant and unable to speak.
Ye Chunyang saw that something was wrong with the waiter in the shop. He couldn't help but frowned and said with sharp eyes: "Why, I just wanted to inquire about the situation here. What do you have to hide?"
Suddenly, the waiter in the shop felt a huge amount of money pressing down on him, and a cold breath came up from the soles of his feet. He was frightened and hurriedly said: "When I reply to the guest, it's not because I don't answer, but because the guest asked this question." It’s really hard for me, I don’t know where this place is.”
"This is quite interesting. Do you think I am someone who can be fooled easily?" Ye Chunyang slowly sipped tea and said in a leisurely manner.
It's strange that the waiter in this shop is from a small town but doesn't know where this place is.
But just when he believed that the waiter was telling lies in order to make a little extra profit, the other party looked extremely frightened and said in a trembling voice: "You don't dare to deceive your guest, don't say petty, guest." Even if you randomly ask people in the town, they still don’t know where this place is.”
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows.
The waiter in the shop didn't look like he was cheating, but his words would be ridiculous.
If the other party was an immortal cultivator, Ye Chunyang would have already questioned him at this time, but he would not argue with an unarmed mortal. He just asked with a serious expression: "What do you mean by this? Come on, come to the truth!"
The boy said tremblingly: "In reply to my guest, if you ask me where this place is, I really can't answer it. I only know that we have always lived here, and we don't remember anything from the past. The only thing we remember is We have to stay in this town, and so does everyone else."
"Don't remember what happened before? Is this the case for everyone here?" Ye Chunyang paused at the tea cup in his hand, a bit of astonishment flashing across his face.
"Yes."
The waiter nodded and said with a serious face.
Ye Chunyang frowned. It wouldn't be strange if a person couldn't remember the past, but if everyone in the town did the same, then it would be strange.
With a dim look in his eyes, Ye Chunyang asked again: "Then you have never thought about leaving here?"
"Leave? Of course I did."
The waiter looked a little complicated when he said this.
After pondering for a long time, he continued: "In fact, everyone here has tried to leave this town, and has also gone out for a while, but then, for some reason, he returned to the place where he came from. When we woke up, we found that we were still in a small town.”
"Is this happening?"
Ye Chunyang was surprised and doubtful.
"It is true, and every once in a while, some people will come to the town inexplicably. Like us, they can't remember anything about the past, and they can't leave this town. They have lived here since then. Come down." The waiter said.
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed with surprise. It seemed that this town was not as simple as it seemed, and there might be something fishy about it.
