The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Although the sea water here is considered blue, the constantly swaying waves greatly interfere with the monk's sight, making it impossible to see clearly far away.

In order to find the whereabouts of other companions and observe the surrounding environment, Xu Zhiyu unfolded his consciousness and began to explore the surroundings.

After a moment, he frowned and withdrew his consciousness. It turned out that not only did he not find the other companions, but he also realized that the coverage of his consciousness here had been compressed to a radius of nine miles, which was different from what he had before breaking through the Zi Mansion. The level is comparable.

With a thought in his mind, two magic weapons, the flying sword and the shield, instantly appeared in his left and right hands. He was ready to tentatively check in other directions. It would not be good to stay here all the time. You must know that this place is probably the place where the human-faced fish belongs. If the lair is besieged by a group of third-order human-faced fish, it will probably end here.

Xu Zhiyu was careful as he walked and began to walk in other directions.

At this time, he was a little regretful that he did not have water spiritual roots and could not use water magic weapons. If he could have a water magic weapon under the sea, he would undoubtedly have stronger combat strength.

After walking about a few hundred feet in this strange cave, he suddenly discovered that a coral bush in front of him was emitting dots of light blue light, as if something was hidden inside.

When he got close to the coral bush and looked at it carefully, he discovered that they were six blue spiritual beads, exuding extremely pure water spiritual energy, exuding a unique charm in this deep sea area.

"This is?"

Xu Zhiyu looked at the familiar spirit beads in front of him, and then began to think about where he had seen this thing before. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly slapped his forehead, and then said to himself:

"Isn't this thing just a sea clam bead? When I was looking for the soul of a monster in Qianyangfang City, I saw it in a large store specializing in selling seafood resources.

The deacon of Zifu who was in charge of the reception also spared no effort to sell this thing to me. He said that when going to sea, if you want to go to the bottom of the sea, this thing is very useful. It can replace the protective cover and help the monks move under the sea. At the same time, it can save the protective gear. The mana of the body shield is simply a very practical treasure.

However, I had no idea of ​​going into the sea at that time, and because one of these items cost a thousand medium-grade spiritual stones, I didn’t buy it in the end. I didn’t expect to find six of them here. What a blessing! "

After being happy, Xu Zhiyu took out a special jade box specially designed to contain precious treasures and put five of the six sea oyster beads inside.

As for the remaining one, he spent two quarters of an hour to simply refine it, and then relied on it to prop up the shield, which greatly reduced his mana consumption.

In this way, he walked through the bottom of the sea for about an hour, and then finally discovered the whereabouts of others. When he got closer, he discovered that it was Zhao Zhenren's female apprentice Zhu Bingyu and another person with a delicate appearance and wearing light clothes. Young nun in blue dress.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's you!"

Seeing his appearance, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two female cultivators who were on guard. They had been looking for a companion since they were teleported in. Now they finally found one, how could they not be happy?

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, Fellow Daoist Cheng, after you two entered the whirlpool, were you drawn together?" Xu Zhiyu's eyes moved and he asked.

"Yes, there was something strange in the whirlpool. I don't know where it swept us. Fortunately, Sister Zhu and I were sent to a place. After resting for a while, we began to look for the whereabouts of other fellow apprentices and fellow Taoist Xu, but it has been so long. Time passed, but I still found nothing until I met you, fellow Taoist.

It is estimated that only Senior Brother Fang is familiar with the situation here. Let’s find them first. To be on the safe side, the three of us should act together so that we can look after each other. I wonder what Dao Dao Xu would like? "

The person who spoke this time was Cheng Hong from the fourth floor of the Zi Mansion. As a disciple of Master Le Zhenren and the one with the highest cultivation level among the three, she spoke directly and gave orders.

"That's what I meant, so good!" Of course he would not object. In this potentially dangerous seabed, it would definitely be safer to act together.

Seeing that there was no objection from the two of them, the three of them walked forward side by side and continued to look in a direction they had never been to before. The cave they were in was extremely wide and extended in all directions. As they walked, the cave was only a few dozen feet long. , gradually became hundreds of feet in size.

In this way, the three of them searched for nearly a quarter of an hour before another monk appeared within the scope of their consciousness. Then several other people appeared one after another, and finally the eight people gathered together in this strange underwater cave. .

"I'm relieved to see that everyone is fine. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to Master after I go back!" Fang Chao was the first to speak, and his words were very brother-like and made people feel like spring breeze.

However, Xu Zhiyu just wanted to find the whereabouts of the human-faced fish as soon as possible, and then get the remains and go back. Everything else was empty to him, so he didn't care whether it would ruin the scenery and said straightforwardly:

"Fellow Daoist Fang, save these polite words for later! I think our top priority is to find the hiding place of the human-faced fish first. I wonder if the specific location of its lair is marked on the map?"

After hearing his words, several other people also turned to look at Fang Chao, ready to hear his answer.

But Fang Chao just smiled and shook his head, and then said to everyone:

"Actually, the last location marked on the map is actually the large whirlpool that sucked us in. There is no drawing on the map of this cave at all. I originally thought that after entering the whirlpool, I would reach the nest of the human-faced fish, but now it seems, I think It's a bit simple!

We still need to find the specific place ourselves, but I believe that as long as the map is correct, we should be able to find the human-faced fish group here. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Bingyu's voice immediately rang out:

"Fellow Daoist Fang, be careful what you say. My master spent a lot of money to buy the map. There is absolutely no problem."

When she heard her master being questioned, she was a little unhappy and retorted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu is overly concerned. I have no doubts about Senior Zhao's intentions. That's all. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's look for the whereabouts of the human-faced fish!

This place is located on the bottom of the deep sea, and we don’t know exactly where the human-faced fish is. If we act together, although it is very safe, it may take a long time, so in order to save time, we work in pairs and head towards different directions. Look for the direction, this will also speed up the progress. "

Since time was urgent, Fang Chao gave the order directly.

Xu Zhiyu was very lucky, and was assigned to a monk from the eighth floor of the Purple Mansion. His name was Yang Li, and he had the highest cultivation level among them except Fang Chao.

After each selected their position, the eight people moved forward according to the previously discussed arrangement. Originally, according to the rules of the world of immortality, Xu Zhiyu, who had a lower level of cultivation, had to go in front to explore the way, so that if he encountered any sea beast or the like, Yang Li, who had a higher level of cultivation behind him, could respond more calmly.

But in order to increase the speed of exploration, Yang Li walked directly in front, scanning the surroundings with his eighth-level consciousness of the Purple Mansion, and at the same time swam forward quickly. As for Xu Zhiyu, he didn't have to worry about anything and just hurried on. , but can barely keep up with the former.

The quiet and dark seabed showed a colorful scene, and sometimes low-level marine organisms such as starfish and seaweed emitted lavender or faint blue light and flashed past them.

Of course, the protective shield transformed from the sea clam beads on Xu Zhiyu's body and the magic weapon in his hand also emit a faint light, which is particularly dazzling in the almost dark seabed, but this is unavoidable. At the same time, he also needs to use these lights to determine Yang Li's position in front of him, so as not to lose him.

At the same time, he also likes the sea oyster beads he wears very much. If it hadn't helped him hold up the shield, he would not only have wasted his mana, but he would also be unable to swim freely in the depth of this sea area, and his swimming speed would be affected to a certain extent.

Looking around, I could barely see the thirty feet nearby. Further away, I could only see some weak fluorescence swimming around, which should be some plankton living in the deep sea area.

There are also various strange sea monsters living in this sea. At this time, a three-foot-long fish with a reddish-brown body appeared in front of him. It has a flat head, a very thin tail, and a round body, which looks extremely cute.

The eyes are black, emitting strange fluorescence, and there is a red triangle pattern in the pupil, which looks very strange. Although its mouth is less than three inches in size, the rows of fangs are extremely sharp, like canine teeth. They are staggered and have barbs on the top, which looks very unpleasant to deal with.

Moreover, at the position of the dorsal fin, there is a slender thing protruding, about the thickness of a thumb, which curves and stretches to the front of the eyes. It also exudes a faint purple light, which looks very beautiful.

These fish came in groups, hundreds of them gathered together, and swam past Xu Zhiyu. However, the spiritual energy fluctuations from these small fish were very weak, and could only reach the level of the early and middle stages of Qi training, so he did not Pay too much attention to them.

However, he was still a little curious about why they could glow, so he caught a few at the right time and put them in a fish basin filled with water in the storage ring. As soon as he finished doing this, he heard Yang Li's message came from the front.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, come here quickly. I found something here, which seems to be traces left by a school of fish."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyu immediately rushed forward and then looked towards the ground.

They saw rows of large and small pits on the ground, and what’s even more peculiar is that the shapes of these pits are very similar to human faces. Considering the name and appearance of the human-faced fish, it is almost certain that there must be a human-faced fish here. Swimming across, or rather they have arrived at the territory of the human-faced fish.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, it seems we are lucky. The nest of the human-faced fish should be nearby. I think you should send a gathering signal to the other three teams of fellow daoists. After they arrive, we will investigate in depth together." For safety reasons, Xu Zhiyu suggested safely.

Unexpectedly, Yang Li didn't think so and objected:

"I think we should explore further first. After all, the traces left here are not necessarily those left recently. Maybe they were just left when the human-faced fish occasionally swam by and stopped here. If we rashly move other divisions The brothers and sisters called over, but in the end they found out that it was just a joyous occasion, and it would be a waste of time, so to be on the safe side, we should wait until we see the human-faced fish before notifying others!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for him to continue talking and continued swimming forward. Seeing this, Xu Zhiyu could only follow behind him. Who knows that his cultivation level was not as high as that of the other party, so he could only obey the other party's orders.

Not long after, the two men found no trace of the human-faced fish, and instead came to a special area.

What caught their eyes was a large ocean of red and purple intertwined. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it turned out to be an underwater coral forest composed of red corals and purple corals.

Most of this large coral forest is composed of red and purple corals, with a small amount of gray, white, and black corals mixed in.

Corals of various colors are pieced together in clusters in the east and west, and thick dark red gravel is piled on the ground.

The large corals are more than ten feet high, just like towering trees, while the small ones are only a few feet or even several feet high.

When the two saw such a wonderful underwater scene, they did not approach rashly. Instead, as if they had agreed upon it, they began to swim upstream as much as possible. At the same time, they released their spiritual consciousness to explore forward, hoping to get a glimpse of the entire coral forest.

They saw various lights emitting from the coral trees, illuminating the place brightly, which made it easier for them to explore. However, when they swam to a high enough place, they discovered that the place was actually endless, at least within sight. Within a few dozen miles, all you can see are gleaming coral groups.

Seeing this situation, the two of them admired the underwater wonders for a moment, then slowly landed next to the coral forest and began to discuss the next move.

This time, Yang Li finally stopped being stubborn and followed Xu Zhiyu's suggestion. He took out a jade pendant-shaped magic weapon from the storage bag, then poured some magic power into it, and then saw what was originally a magic weapon. The jade pendant lying calmly in their hands unexpectedly slowly rose to a place ten feet above their heads, and began to emit uninterrupted flashes of light, which complemented the light emitted by the corals around them, making it look so beautiful.

After about half an hour passed, the other six people all joined them.

Yang Li first told several other people about their findings, and then asked Fang Chao what to do next.

Fang Chao did not make a rash decision, but asked several people to investigate the coral forest separately, and finally found some clues.

"Senior Brother Fang, come and take a look, there is a remains here, it seems to be left by the human-faced fish!"

After hearing the voice transmission, Xu Zhiyu and others immediately gathered around the man. Following the direction of his finger, they found a body more than one foot tall, with a head like a human and a tail like a fish. He was lying coldly. On a patch of sand under a coral forest.

After Fang Chao checked it, he confirmed that it was a second-order human-faced fish corpse, and traces of human-faced fish were also found nearby. Therefore, it is almost certain that the nest of the human-faced fish is either in this piece of coral. In the forest, or behind this forest, but no matter what, crossing here is what they have to do.

Therefore, after discussion, several people arranged themselves in a battle formation, with Fang Chao swimming at the front, six of the other seven people following him in twos and twos, and Yang Li taking charge of the rear, and together they headed towards the depths of the coral forest!
