In the sea market, Xu Dao and the other two people did not notice anything after entering the port. However, as soon as they entered the market, they immediately found that the atmosphere in the market was depressing and the pedestrians in the streets were all in a hurry.
Shops of all sizes have also been closed one after another. It is obvious that the lively period of Haishi has passed and the market is in depression.
However, Xu Dao and the others estimated the time and found that there was still less than half a month before the departure from Haishi, which should not be the case.
Xu Dao was startled and confused, realizing that something big might have happened in Haishi. His thoughts were in chaos, and his thoughts soon fell on the Master of Qianlong Pavilion.
If there is any big event that may happen recently, the Master of Qianlong Pavilion has been in seclusion since refining the Goddess of the Stars. The success of his attempted elixir should be the top priority!
Thinking of this, Xu Dao immediately wanted to quit. He was ready to give up even selling his belongings and wanted to run away directly.
With a move in his heart, he revealed the matter to Chen Men and Zeng Shijian. He thought that if there was a big change, the three of them would leave together and look after each other on the way until they reached a safe place or the situation calmed down.
After that, he would just go on his own.
He might even be able to convince the two of them again at that time, allowing them to protect him and help him achieve the goal of refining. Anyway, the three of them are about to break through to the realm of refining, and each has their own expectations, so it shouldn't be difficult to convince the other.
When Chen Men and Zeng Shijian heard Xu Dao's doubts, their hearts immediately tightened.
Among them, Chen Men was quite unkind to Qianlong Pavilion. He strongly agreed to leave with Xu Dao and believed that safety was important. Although the three of them were considered figures in the realm of foundation building, they were still not good enough for the Golden Pill Taoist Master.
Worth mentioning.
After hearing this, Zeng Shijian frowned and did not immediately respond.
Seeing this, Xu Dao sent a message with his spiritual consciousness and said: "You and I have just returned to Haishi not long ago. If we retreat now, no one will know about it. After the storm calms down, we can tell the outside world that it is delaying our trip, so we missed it."
He missed the day to return to Haishi and even missed the departure from Fucha."
He thought about the three of them in his words. If the three of them left Qianlong Pavilion quietly, they would not be considered as abandoning Qianlong Pavilion. There was still a chance to make amends. However, if they stayed in Haishi, they could only resign themselves to their fate.
Xu Dao and Chenmen Taoist priests both stared at Zeng Shijian, waiting for the other party to make a choice.
After experiencing a treasure hunt, the characters of the three of them were tested, and they agreed with each other. However, if they made different choices, they would have to say goodbye.
Seeing that Zeng Shijian was still reluctant to speak, Xu Dao sighed softly and prepared to ask the other party to keep track of him and the Chen family.
Zeng Shijian breathed out suddenly and sent a message to the two of them: "Fellow Daoist Xu is right. The storm in Haishi is treacherous. The safest way at the moment is to retreat directly. In other words, it was a certain fellow Daoist who warned me first, so let's
Fellow Taoists, please pay more attention to the turmoil in the sea market, as there may be major changes."
Listening to the other party's words, Xu Dao nodded and waited for Zeng Shijian's next sentence.
Zeng Shijian's face darkened and he said: "If it is as expected by Fellow Daoist Xu, the big event here is the completion of the Pavilion Master's elixir...Don't you two fellow Daoists think that this is also an opportunity that we have been waiting for?"
Xu Dao frowned slightly, he understood what the other party said.
Crisis may also turn into a turning point, a good opportunity.
If the master of the Qianlong Pavilion achieves a high level of alchemy, all the Taoist priests in the Qianlong Pavilion will be blessed and embraced. Even if the master of the Qianlong Pavilion does not achieve a high level of alchemy, Taoist priests like them who enter the pavilion will not necessarily be in danger.
After all, they are just disciples, not disciples.
However, Xu Dao still had two Secret Vaults of Stars in his hands. He thought about it for a while and thought that even if he did not hug the master of Qianlong Pavilion and did not get involved in the turmoil, he would be able to survive within a few decades, and there was a high probability that he would directly accuse him.
Golden elixir.
So Xu Dao was ready to persuade him one more time, and if the persuasion failed, he would part ways, but Zeng Shijian's next sentence aroused his interest:
"Don't you two fellow Taoists not want to see what it will be like when the elixir is completed? What kind of disasters and changes will there be? Especially the disaster when the elixir becomes a high-grade one."
Zeng Shijian looked at Xu Dao and Chen Men with bright eyes, making their eyes slightly condensed.
There are countless Taoist books that deal with the subject of elixir formation. Even the most superficial Taoist priest in the market can write a few words about it, and Xu Dao unexpectedly gained a lot of experience in elixir formation in the remnant soul of the goddess.
But no matter how you say it, these are just "hearsays" and "things in books". Even the experiences in the mind of Fanxing Goddess are only left by the ancestors of Fanxing Island hundreds of years ago. The island was hundreds of years old.
No one has successfully produced a great elixir, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false effects based on experience.
Even if the things recorded in each book are true and valid, reading ten thousand books is far less intuitive than observing an elixir formation in person. The latter can also allow three people to gain experience, and it is possible to achieve a small enlightenment at once.
Xu Dao and Chen Men thought at the same time: "So this is what Zeng Shijian was thinking about." They also hesitated.
Xu Dao, who was the first to suggest leaving, kept thinking in his mind: "If it is an ordinary elixir, it would be regrettable to miss it, but it is not a pity. But the master of Qianlong Pavilion wants to form a high-grade golden elixir, and the opportunity is rare."
rare."
The three of them were all tangled in their minds, each considering the other's opinions.
It was not easy to decide the matter immediately. As time passed, the three of them walked into a teahouse to avoid attracting attention on the street, ordered three cups of tea and food, and began to think deeply.
During this time, they could also listen to the conversations of people in the teahouse, so that they could discern what was going on in the sea market.
After having a few cups of tea, Xu Dao didn't know what Chen Men and Zeng Shijian were thinking, but he had already paid attention. His decision was that even if he wanted to observe the process of forming the pills of the Qianlong Pavilion Master, he had to leave Baili first.
Fucha is a place of right and wrong.
After all, so far, whether it is the White Bone Temple Master or the Shark Island Master, when they are forming elixirs, Taoists who get too close to them will be very unfortunate, and Xu Dao has to be on guard.
With a plan in mind, Xu Dao raised his head and looked at Chen Men and Zeng Shijian in front of the wine table.
Zeng Shijian saw Xu Dao looking at him with a calm expression. He guessed Xu Dao's thoughts, so he cupped his hand, toasted Xu Dao a cup of tea, and said seriously: "Today, I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you, Mr. Xu Dao, for taking care of me in recent years."
Xu Dao nodded: "Fellow Taoist Zeng is so polite. Pindao also thanks you very much."
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked sideways at Taoist priest Chen Men. Chen Men and Xu Dao had known each other for many years. They came from the same country, and Xu Dao rescued him from slavery. Naturally, this man did not choose to abandon Xu Dao and leave.
Chen Men opened his mouth and finally tried to persuade him: "To be honest with fellow Taoist Zeng, Chen has been sinking for a long time in the past few years. He is well aware of the dangers of turmoil. There is an ancient saying, 'If you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about having no firewood.'
"
After Zeng Shijian heard this, he laughed and said, "Thank you, Taoist friend Chen, for your words."
He pointed at himself: "Have you two fellow Taoists forgotten that Zeng is a sword cultivator? I am a sword cultivator who specializes in going through hardships and dangers to get the golden lotus from the fire. I also have a saying, I know that there are tigers in the mountain, so I should go to Tiger Mountain.
!”
The three of them made their words very clear, then they suppressed the dispute and stopped discussing the matter. They just raised their teacups and drank from each other.
Although they had decided to part ways, Xu and Dao were not in a hurry to run away on the spot.
They were chatting, but because there were few guests in the teahouse and no one spoke loudly, they couldn't hear the news, so they simply called the waiter in the teahouse over and asked about the situation in Haishi.
With Fu Qian opening the way, the waiter in the teahouse talked about everything he knew.
As Xu Dao expected, the turmoil in Haishi was closely related to the master of Qianlong Pavilion. In the past half month, all the disciples of Qianlong Pavilion were summoned and recalled to Qianlong Pavilion.
The boy occasionally listened to the chat among the tea guests. Some said that the master of Qianlong Pavilion will start to form elixirs in the near future. Some said that the master of Qianlong Pavilion was at the critical moment of forming elixirs and needed the help of many Taoist priests.
The master of the Dragon Pavilion has died, and all the pavilions have been occupied by others...
The information was true and false, and it was so complicated that it was difficult to distinguish for a while, but Xu Dao still captured useful information from it.
He raised his eyes and asked the waiter in the teahouse: "You mean, the three major bosses in Haishi have already left seclusion, and we are just waiting for the accurate news from the master of Qianlong Pavilion?"
The boy bowed his waist and said respectfully: "Exactly. This news is not false. The Taoist priests from the three cities in the west, north and south have all met the three major village owners more than once. By the way, except for three
Boss, I heard that the Jindan Taoist from the nearby sea area is also on his way to Haishi, so he thought he wanted to send timely congratulations to the master of Qianlong Pavilion for his success."
Hearing this, Xu Dao asked calmly: "There are a total of seven islands in the nearby sea, and there are two islands where Jindan Taoists are stationed. I don't know which island the shopkeeper said, or which island it is."
Are the Taoist masters from both islands coming?"
The boy laughed sarcastically: "Sir, this, this... this news, I'm not sure about it. It may be one person or two people."
The other party lowered his voice and said, "Look, Haishi has closed half a month in advance. Many Taoist priests nearby have left. Maybe this news is just a cover and fake."
Xu Dao heard this and handed over his hands: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper." He took out a dozen talisman coins from his sleeves and placed them on the table for the boy to accept.
The waiter in the tearoom suddenly smiled from ear to ear: "You three gentlemen, please chat slowly. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time."
After the boy left, Xu Dao cast a soundproof spell.
Zeng Shijian pondered the conversation, his mind moved, and he said: "There is a lot of news, why don't we take out the Qianlong Token and take a look at it. We can also ask colleagues in the pavilion for news, which will be better than the news in the tea room.
Be more credible.”
But as soon as he raised his sleeve, Xu Dao hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! Fellow Daoist Zeng, don't take out the Hidden Dragon Token yet."
Zeng Shijian looked at Xu Dao doubtfully.
Xu Dao could only whisper: "The Hidden Dragon Order can transmit messages, and it should also be able to know the whereabouts of the person holding the order. If you take it out, you will definitely receive a message from the pavilion, and our whereabouts will also be exposed.
If fellow Taoist want to inquire, it won’t be too late to do so after we leave Haishi.”
Zeng Shijian heard this and apologized quickly: "Someone didn't think well." He pressed his sleeve pocket and continued talking to Xu Dao in a low voice.
Although there is no way to prove whether the teahouse boy's news is true or false, Xu Dao and the other three have a better plan in mind based on the previous situation.
Among them, Xu Dao was thinking to himself: "The exact news of the elixir has not yet spread, and the nearby Jindan Taoist master is on his way over..."
His eyes flickered: "I'm afraid those two Jindan Taoist masters have been in Haishi for a long time, but they are just invisible. Otherwise, how could the signs of Jindan Taoist spread among the people? And Haishi City is
It has been held for nearly two months, and even if it is a temporary departure, according to the magic power of the Jindan Taoist master, he can come from afar in time."
For no reason, Xu Dao had an intuition that the Qianlong Pavilion Master would be in a dangerous situation no matter whether he could achieve a high-grade golden elixir or not.
Xu Dao thought carefully for a moment, and finally mentioned Zeng Shijian: "There are three golden elixir masters in Haishi. If we add the two from outside, there will be five golden elixirs in Haishi, and there are only three golden elixir masters in Qianlong Pavilion."
One, and it is Venerable Golden Ou who led you and me to massacre the island last time, he is not a kind person."
"It is very likely that six golden elixir Taoists will gather together this time. This is definitely not a good thing. I just don't know if the pavilion master can prepare properly."
Zeng Shijian poured a full cup of tea and said, "I know this."
The man then handed over to Xu Dao and Chen Men, "The situation is urgent. In this case, the two Taoist friends should leave quickly to avoid changes later. As for news and the like, a certain family can continue to inquire in the sea market.
If there is any important news, I will definitely try my best to inform you two."
Xu Dao and Chen Men both nodded: "It's exactly what fellow Taoist said."
The three of them then exchanged private talisman spells. This talisman can transmit sound in both directions, but it is easy to be intercepted. It is far less convenient and fast than the Qianlong Ling and has many disadvantages, but it can bypass the Qianlong Pavilion.
After finishing speaking, Xu Dao and Chen Men both stood up and said, "Friend Zeng, let's say goodbye."
"See you later."
Zeng Shijian also stood up and returned the greeting: "See you later."
Without further nagging, Xu Dao and Chen Men immediately covered their figures, left the teahouse, and quietly left in the direction of the ferry.
Zeng Shijian stood on the second floor, watching the two people's figures disappear, knocking on the sword box on the table and thinking silently. After a long time, he estimated that Xu Dao and the two had already left Haishi, and just took the sword from his sleeves.
He took out the Hidden Dragon Token.
As soon as the Hidden Dragon Token was taken out, the whole token began to tremble, and one message after another popped up on it:
"Every Taoist priest in the pavilion should return to this pavilion as soon as possible!"
………………
On the other side, Xu Dao and Chen Men rushed to the port and successfully passed through the port and slipped out of Haishi.
After getting out of the sea formation, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They were a little worried on the way, worried that the sea market was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, making it impossible to get in or out. In this case, they had no choice but to stay in the sea market like Zeng Shijian.
Fortunately, the situation is not that bad yet.
After running dozens of miles out of the sea, Xu Dao took out the conch treasure ship that he had already refined in his hand, and invited Chen Men to come in. After boarding the ship, he did not continue to drive the treasure ship away, but hid in the sea, silently
Wait.
Chen Men was surprised: "Why don't you, fellow Taoist, set off? Go to a nearby island and stay for a while. There are many people on the island, so news can spread quickly, and it is also convenient to deal with the harvest from the trip."
Xu Dao stayed in the treasure ship, looking up at the sky above the sea. He returned: "It's a rare opportunity to observe the elixir. Do you really give up, Daoyou Chen?"
Chen Men instantly understood what Xu Dao was talking about. They were not involved in the turmoil in Haishi, but that didn't mean they couldn't watch and observe.
Please give me a monthly ticket! It’s just a waste of money.
