The airship floats in the air, flying forward against the wind at a speed of three hundred miles per hour.
Lu Cheng didn't know if this was the top speed of the flying boat. When he thought about it, it might be possible that the flying boat had several speeds.
People on the flying boat either looked around to check out the ever-changing scenery below, or sat still like Lu Cheng, while some warriors took out wine gourds to drink and chat.
These selected Heavenly Martial Masters are all younger monks, their blood has not yet been drained away, their faces are filled with youthful atmosphere, and their words are relatively impulsive.
The so-called younger age does not mean 20 or 30 years old like ordinary people, but no more than 800 years old.
The lifespan of a Heavenly Martial Master is not as good as that of a Heavenly Witch. A Heavenly Witch can theoretically live forever after taking the elixir of death, but a Heavenly Martial Master still has a lifespan. The lifespan of an entry-level Heavenly Martial Master does not exceed 2,500 years. Each time a Heavenly Martial Master improves by one level,
Extending life by ten years, that is, five to six hundred years. Only when you reach the level of King Wu can you have spiritual consciousness similar to that of a witch, so you can resist the erosion of God's will and barely survive.
Although the Heavenly Witch and King Wu can theoretically be immortal, in fact many people still cannot withstand the test and killing and pass away, and they slowly grow older as time goes on. This aging is not entirely due to the degradation of physiological functions.
It is a manifestation of losing vitality due to aging, lack of interest in the things around you, and becoming bored. Living is impatient, boring, and cannot find a way to make progress, so it appears depressed and old.
The flying boat flew non-stop for three days. Lu Cheng suddenly heard someone exclaiming: "Ah! I see the sea! Below is the endless sea!"
Lu Cheng was a little surprised and thought to himself: "Why are we on the sea again? Is it still the same sea that the Dongyi people came to after eight months of hard work on a treasure ship? This world of Shan Hai Jing is very weird, and its map has nothing to do with the researchers of later generations.
The map drawn is different."
Another day passed, and the flying boat stopped and suspended in the air.
Lu Cheng stood up, walked to the side of the ship, and looked around. He found that there was a vast land below, with three mountains rising from the flat ground. One of them was the tallest, and the other two were slightly shorter. There was a deep road in the middle of the three mountains.
of the canyon.
Jiu Tianqin said loudly: "The highest mountain is Qingmang Mountain where the Witch King Chong lives. There is a city on the top of the mountain, which is Chunhui City. The other two slightly shorter mountains also have palaces on the top of the mountain.
They are "Muluan City" where Wu Luan lives and "Muli City" where Wu Li lives. The most noteworthy thing is the deep canyon in the middle of the three mountains. It has a name called "Guixu".
It is also called the 'Guixu Secret Realm', and it is the place where this bird meeting was held."
When Lu Cheng heard this, he was shocked and thought: "Guixu is a famous existence in myths and legends! "The Book of Mountains and Seas" has a rough record that there is an unfathomable ravine outside the East China Sea, and the Shaohao family is here
Establish a tribe and raise Emperor Zhuanxu.
"Liezi Tangwen" has a more detailed record of Guixu: "East of the Bohai Sea, hundreds of millions of miles away, there is a large ravine. It is actually a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it. It is called Guixu.
." Guixu is considered to be the abyss at the end of the world, but unexpectedly it turns out to be a secret realm.
Er Tingjiu Tianqin continued: "There were originally five sacred mountains here, with a circumference of 30,000 miles at the bottom and nine thousand miles at the top of the flat area.
The sacred mountains were originally like rootless duckweeds, floating in the sea. The Emperor of Heaven sent fifteen giant turtles to carry the sacred mountains on their backs, and they were stabilized.
But not long after, a giant came from Long Bo Kingdom and fished up six of the giant turtles. As a result, two of the sacred mountains lost their support and finally sank to the bottom of Guixu.
This incident made the Emperor of Heaven very angry, so he launched an army to attack the Long Bo Kingdom. In the end, the Long Bo Kingdom was defeated. The emperor transformed the Long Bo Kingdom giants, making them smaller generation by generation.
People are only three or four feet tall."
Following the explanation given by the second elder Jiu Tianqin, the flying boat slowly descended and landed on the flat ground.
Two to three hundred people from the Xiaojiu tribe came to camp at the foot of Qingmang Mountain and buried pots to make rice.
Lu Cheng turned around and looked around, and found that there were masters from other clans not far away. Some clans had already arrived first. Each clan occupied a certain area, and Heavenly Witches and Heavenly Martial Masters could be seen everywhere.
He didn't see Lu You. He thought that the Qingfeng clan was a super big clan, so they might have arrived relatively late. Those who came first were often small clans, and some arrived three months in advance. Because of the long distance and lack of flying magic weapons, he was afraid
There was a delay on the way, so we set off early and arrived at Qingmang Mountain earlier. The Xiaojiu tribe arrived here five days in advance, neither early nor late.
On the east side of Qingmang Mountain, near the edge of the gully, there is a square paved with flat bluestone slabs.
In the center of the square, there is a high platform, about ten feet high.
On the edge of the square, tall poles were erected, with various flags hanging on the tops of the poles. The flags were colorful and painted with images of birds representing various ethnic groups.
There are some tables and chairs on the edge of the square. There is a celestial witch in red linen, two celestial warriors, and five or six young and beautiful female cultivators guarding there, seemingly doing registration work.
While everyone was eating and resting, Jiu Tianqin came over and said to Lu Cheng: "Great Elder, please accompany me for a walk."
Lu Cheng nodded: "Please."
Jiu Tianqin called Jiu Mingyu again, and was accompanied by a "Tianwu Master" named Jiu Ze.
The four people walked to the edge of the square.
The Heavenly Witch who stayed behind was an old man with gray beard and hair hanging loosely on his shoulders. He had very light wrinkles on his face and greeted everyone with a smile.
Jiu Tianqin walked in front and raised her hands to the old man: "I have met Lord Wu Yao."
Lu Cheng had no expression on his face and also handed over his hand. This is not his original character. He is impersonating the Great Elder Jiu Tianming.
This heavenly witch called "Wuzhao" is obviously no ordinary person. Even if he is not the right-hand man of the old witch king Wu Zhong, he may be the guest of the two young witch kings, otherwise he would not accept such an important mission.<
/p>
Wu Zhao smiled and said: "Welcome, distinguished guests from the Xiaojiu tribe."
Jiu Tianqin said: "Reporting to your lord, five heavenly witches and eighteen heavenly martial arts masters from the Xiaojiu tribe are here."
Wu Zhao nodded and took out a pile of jade tokens. There were 5 red jade tokens and the rest were cyan jade tokens: "This is the token to enter Guixu. Please keep it."
Jiu Tianqin put away the token and asked: "Excuse me, sir, how many clans are here?"
Wu Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed to the flagpoles, meaning: "You will know by counting the flags yourself."
Jiu Tianqin changed his words and asked: "Excuse me, sir, how many red jade tokens have been distributed?"
Wu Zhao replied: "78 yuan."
Lu Cheng counted the flags. There were 33 flags in total. There were big and small flags. The bigger the clan, the bigger the flag. The smaller the clan, the smaller the flag.
Jiu Tianqin handed a black flag about ten feet long to Jiu Ze.
Jiuze jumped up, holding the flagpole more than ten feet high with one hand, and hung the flag with the other hand.
The red flag, with a black vulture embroidered on it, flutters in the wind. As the autumn wind blows, the sound of hunting wind reaches my ears.
Later, Jiu Tianqin asked again: "Excuse me, sir, are the rules for this competition the same as before?"
