Not long after, Master Xuanbei came to Su Anran's small courtyard in person.
His face was calm, and it was hard to tell what his specific mood was.
But Su Anran didn't need to observe his reaction at all.
He glanced at the little monk Miaoyan standing outside the far door. The latter's face was straining with all his strength, like a stroke patient, and his facial features were almost twisted together. Then Su Anran knew the result.
"Master Xuanbei, please come in." Su Anran welcomed Master Xuanbei into the room.
But the little monk Miaoyan did not enter. He was still standing outside the courtyard gate.
After entering the room, Master Xuanbei put his hands together and said the Buddha's name. He waited until Su Anran sat down before taking his seat.
Although these independent courtyards are the property of the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, after being temporarily lent to Su An, Master Xuanbei is naturally considered an outsider and can only obey the owner's greetings. This is the most basic etiquette.
"Donor Su, from what my disciple said, it seems that you intend to enter the depths of the sea of illusions?"
"Yes." Su Anran nodded.
"I wonder how many times this is donor Su's experience?"
"This is the first time." Su Anran replied, "Before this, I was only practicing in the valley and had not taken a step outside the valley."
"Benefactor Su is so lucky." Xuan Bei smiled and shook his head, his tone seemed to be self-deprecating, "Generally, monks will go out to experience the Qi Gathering Realm from the beginning. They may not necessarily have the opportunity to enter the secret realm, but they will basically learn something during the experience.
Gain experience and grow.”
"Well, like the little monk Miaoyan, I am relatively lucky."
Master Xuanbei was stunned for a moment, and then realized the intention of Su Anran's words.
He looked at Su Anran. Although his expression did not change, Su Anran saw that the expression in Master Xuanbei's eyes had changed.
Perhaps before this, Master Xuanbei only regarded Su Anran as a newbie in the monastic world who knew nothing, and his previous words were a test. But Su Anran's reaction and response were obviously beyond Master Xuanbei's expectations.
, so at this moment he truly put away his contempt.
Although he has been reminding himself that the disciples of Taiyi Valley have talents, wisdom, and even coping abilities far beyond others.
But for a newcomer like Su Anran, who has just joined Taiyi Valley and has not made any name in the monastic world, and a big shot like Master Xuanbei, it is more or less inevitable that he will be somewhat contemptuous.
"Miaoyan has not liked to go out since he was a child, and he doesn't like to practice. If I hadn't given the death order this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm." Master Xuanbei seemed to be telling a joke, lightly.
He changed the topic of Su Anran, "But Donor Su, don't pay too much attention. The reason why the poor monk asked this question is because of the friendship between Lao Huang and me, so I have to remind you."
This old bald donkey.
Su Anran curled her lips inwardly.
"Want to hear the details."
"The Divine Sea of Illusions is located in the North Courtyard, which is the territory of the demon clan." Master Xuanbei said slowly, "It is said that this Divine Sea of Illusions was transformed by a mirage after its death. It is usually hidden behind huge storms and thunder.
, every few decades, when there is a relatively calm period in the Sea of Doom, we can use the passage to enter the Sea of Illusion."
"There are rumors that the mirage was killed by a powerful monk, and a large amount of its resentment gathered there. After being contaminated by the mirage's evil spirit, these resentments turned into a very fierce and terrifying natural formation. Once there is a divine sea
If monks who are above the realm of cultivation enter, they will be strangled by the large formation, so there is a condition that 'only monks of the Divine Sea realm' can enter."
"But based on our explorations over the years, we have basically proven that the entire Illusion Divine Sea is divided into two areas. The area with light blue mist that permeates the ankles is the periphery of the Illusion Divine Sea. Here
There is no danger, and the mist seems to have some beneficial stimulating effect on spiritual consciousness. If you practice in this area, the efficiency is more than three times that of the outside world."
"If you can find a spiritual power node area, the efficiency of cultivation can even be five times higher."
"Doesn't that mean that one day of cultivation here is equivalent to three to five days of cultivation outside?" Su Anran couldn't help but ask after hearing Master Xuanbei's introduction.
"Yes." Master Xuanbei nodded, "But the outer area has been explored long ago, so there won't be any treasures or elixirs left."
"Is there a treasure in the depths?"
Master Xuanbei nodded slightly: "If you go deep into the outer area where the fog is thickest, you will see an island-like area, which is the depth of the Illusion Divine Sea. Not only are there various rare and precious elixirs on the island, but there are even
There are also many strange beasts... Every time the Illusion Divine Sea opens, the monks who enter it go there for the rare and rare beasts on the island. But compared to the tranquility outside, there is a lot of danger there."
"Will strange beasts attack monks?"
"More than that." Master Xuanbei nodded first, then shook his head, "It is said that there are many traps on the island, which are traps evolved from magic circles. Once you fall into them, it will be very dangerous. And not only that, the monks
The struggle with the monks is also one of the most dangerous reasons in the depths of the Illusion Sea."
Su Anran felt awe-inspiring in her heart.
In fact, he already knew it since Huang Zi insisted on teaching him martial arts before allowing him to go to the Sea of Illusions.
This illusory sea is not only dangerous in its depths, but the competition for those nodes in the outer areas is also very dangerous.
After all, the difference between three times and five times is enough to widen the progress between the two practitioners.
"It's so dangerous." Su Anran nodded clearly, "Thank you, Master Xuanbei, for reminding me, but I won't go."
"You're welcome...ah?" Xuanbei looked confused.
What is going on?
Why didn't the young man in front of me follow the script?
In the eyes of Master Xuanbei, as long as the disciples in Taiyi Valley dare to walk in the outside world, they are basically a group of lunatics. They will go wherever there is danger, and basically have the habit of taking action if they disagree. Therefore, Master Xuanbei feels that as long as he
The description is dangerous enough, but exciting enough at the same time, then Su Anran will definitely be eager to go to the depths of the sea of illusions. Then he only needs to let Miaocheng and Miaoyan cooperate with Su Anran, and they can easily get what they want.
What you want.
But now...
Master Xuanbei really wanted to ask, boy, why don’t you follow the script?
But he really couldn't speak these words.
"Master also told me that the depths are very dangerous and advised me not to go. Originally I thought Master was being alarmist. Fortunately, Master Xuanbei reminded me."
"Hehe...hehe..." Master Xuanbei's facial muscles twitched a few times.
Then, the air fell into a brief silence.
"Donor Su, the depths of the Illusion Divine Sea are dangerous, but it can indeed increase your knowledge."
In this great secret realm, I think Donor Su should take this opportunity to gain some experience."
"No, no." Su Anran shook her head and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
"..." Master Xuanbei suddenly felt like going crazy.
"Master Xuanbei, do you have something to say?" Su Anran looked at Master Xuanbei, and then said, "Your expression looks like you are constipated."
"I..." Master Xuanbei crazily recited the meditation mantra in his heart, "I do have something to say."
"Master Xuanbei, if you have something to say, just say it. I won't know what you want to do if you don't say it."
"Okay, then I will..."
"Forget it, let's stop talking." Su Anran suddenly spoke again, "Master Xuanbei, you must want to warn me that the depths are too dangerous. Even if you go in to gain experience, you must be cautious. But I
To put it mildly, I have a bit of an adventurous spirit. To put it poorly, I just don’t listen to advice. I think I’d better not go there. It’s too dangerous and I don’t have much ability to protect myself. Thank you, Master Xuanbei, for your advice.
"
"No, I haven't said anything yet."
"Master Xuanbei, your face has already said everything you want to say."
"..."
Master Xuanbei suddenly wanted to strangle Su Anran to death.
Should we say that he deserves to be from Taiyi Valley? This problem of not listening to others is exactly the same as that of his senior sisters.
In the end, Master Xuanbei decided not to go around in circles with Su Anran.
He was afraid that he really couldn't help but beat up Su Anran.
However, he also knew that if he really did this, Huang Zi would be hung up and beaten several times if he turned around.
"Actually, I have something I want to ask of Donor Su."
"Oh?" Su Anran blinked, with a well-behaved look on his face, "Master Xuanbei, you said, as long as I can do it, I won't hesitate."
"I want you to go into the depths of the illusory sea and help find a rare treasure..."
"No way, it's too dangerous there."
"I will let Miaocheng and the others be responsible for your safety, with your safety as the first priority." Master Xuanbei said, "You may not know that Miaocheng is already at the fourth level of the Divine Sea Realm, and is also far away from the Aperture Realm.
Not far away, he is strong enough to protect you in the Divine Sea of Illusions. With Miaocheng accompanying you, Benefactor Su, you can also increase your experience and knowledge in the depths of the Divine Sea of Illusions, laying the foundation for your future cultivation and experience.
"
If he hadn't obtained information from the little monk Miaoyan beforehand, Su Anran might have agreed.
After all, having a powerful bodyguard and thugs accompanying you is indeed the best way to increase your experience and learn from it.
Su Anran recited silently in her heart: The little monk Miaoyan is the cutest, and then hesitantly said: "I still feel very dangerous."
"It's not dangerous! I will let Miaocheng follow you all the time to ensure your safety." Master Xuanbei said hurriedly, "Moreover, you will receive half of everything obtained in the depths of the Illusion Sea."
"Give me half?"
"Yes." Master Xuanbei saw that Su Anran seemed to be relenting and nodded immediately.
"Forget it, I worked so hard to help find things, but in the end I only got half. If I don't find anything, then wouldn't I have nothing?" Su Anran shook her head.
"Whether it is found or not, the Mahavairocana Sect will prepare another generous gift as a thank you."
"That's it, okay then." Su Anran nodded reluctantly, "You promise to make it better..."
"Wonderful success."
"Oh...you promise to let Senior Brother Miaocheng stay with me to protect me, right?"
"Yes."
"But I think it's still not safe. Why don't you tell Senior Brother Miaocheng and ask him to follow my instructions, as long as he doesn't violate the rules of your Sun Tathagata Sect."
Xuanbei was stunned.
But after thinking about what the Great Sun Tathagata Sect hoped to obtain, in the end he could only nod his head: "Okay."
"Okay." Su Anran nodded, "I wonder what you are looking for, Master Xuanbei?"
"It is a gray-black fruit, the size of an adult's fist, called the Divine Sea Immortal Fruit." Master Xuanbei said while handing out a picture scroll, "It only grows on the top of the Divine Sea Vampire Vine.
One vine bears two fruits.”
"Wow, there are two fruits, so we each have one." Su Anran nodded excitedly, "That's not right. If someone robs me and I only get one, what will we do?
Divide?"
How to divide?
Xuanbei looked confused.
His original intention was to get both of the Divine Sea Immortal Fruits, but he never thought of dividing them with Su Anran.
But now looking at Su Anran's expression, Master Xuanbei knew that if he really said he wanted both, Su Anran would definitely not go. So even though his heart was bleeding, he could only say: "If,
If you only get one in the end...our Great Sun Tathagata Sect will give you something of equal value as compensation."
"That's okay." Su Anran nodded, "Okay, that's it."
After discussing with Su Anran, Master Xuanbei quickly got up and left.
He felt that although Su Anran had confirmed this negotiation and was willing to enter the depths of the Illusion Divine Sea to help find the Immortal Fruit of the Divine Sea, why did he always feel that he was particularly at a disadvantage? And why did the leadership suddenly no longer belong to him?
?
Where did it all go wrong?
Master Xuanbei doesn’t understand.
At least, that wasn't the case with the script he had previously conceived.
