Chapter 651 The Lost Sect
"If I were in the situation that fellow Taoists are in now, I would also want to find an ally." Han Li smiled and said noncommittally.
"That's right, I wanted Fellow Daoist Li to go with you earlier because of this consideration. It's just that Fellow Daoist refused at that time, so I didn't have time to talk to you about this alliance." Immortal Venerable Heat shook his head and said helplessly.
"If I hadn't been in trouble, maybe I would have agreed at that time... Anyway, now the two of us have become companions, it's just an extra member of the Hall of Reincarnation." Han Li looked directly at the other party. , said slowly.
After hearing this, Immortal Master Ruanhuo, hesitation flickered on his face, and he hesitated for a long time before he said:
"Fellow Daoist Li, you and Ye Hegu met once. Although it is not a life-and-death relationship, it can be regarded as a friendship between gentlemen. Can you tell me frankly, what is the task given to you by the Palace of Reincarnation? "Does it matter?"
"Fellow Daoist Heat, to tell you the truth, I am not a real core member of the Hall of Reincarnation. The task I received is to assist Hu San in exploring the remains of the Mantra Gate, but I really don't know what he will do." Han Li said frankly. .
"Since Daoist Li said so, I have no reason not to believe it. I don't trust Hu San and Shi Chuankong. Fellow Daoist Li got an affirmative answer from his mouth." Immortal Venerable Rehuo gritted his teeth and said.
"The task of the Reincarnation Palace is overwhelming, and there are some things that I have to do, but when it comes to the lives of fellow Taoists, Li can't guarantee that he will do his best to save him, but he will never stand by, let alone make trouble." After thinking for a while, Han Li , said.
"Okay! With the words of fellow daoist, I have taken a reassurance. Once this matter is over, there will be a reward." Reign Immortal Venerable clasped his fists slightly and said.
Han Li immediately returned a salute.
The two chatted for a while about the past in Xianyun Mountain, and then they left after being enthusiastic about the immortal.
...
More than ten days later, early in the morning.
Han Li and Reigning Immortal came to the wall where the ferry was moored, only to find that Hu San was the only one waiting there.
"Hey, why don't you see Fellow Daoist Shi?" After greeting, Han Li let out a sigh.
"Brother Shi probably has some things to do, it will be a little later. The time flies so fast, I haven't had enough yet." Hu San yawned and said lazily.
"Fellow Hu San seems to have gone to the Colosseum again yesterday." Han Li said with a slight smile.
"Hey, don't mention it." Hu San waved his hands.
After waiting like this for about a quarter of an hour, Shi Chuankong and shopkeeper Zhu arrived late, and after apologizing, they boarded the ship together with a few others.
Along with the boat was a late-stage Jinxian enshrined from Guangyuanzhai, and a early-stage true immortal in charge. The former just showed up and chatted with a few people for a while before returning to his quiet room, while the latter stayed with several people all the time. People, arrange guest rooms for them one by one.
The entire ferry boat is huge in size, thousands of feet wide, and besides the warehouse, there are more than 300 passenger rooms on board, but they are generally not rented out, and are only used by members of the chamber of commerce.
Han Li chose a guest room in the bottom cabin, the conditions were slightly worse than the upper ones, but it was farther away from the other guest rooms, so it was relatively private and secluded.
The steward accompanied Han Li through the warehouse to Han Li's guest room.
When passing through the warehouse, Han Li saw some large black boxes neatly stacked up to a square meter, with some special runes engraved on them, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Boss Hu, the spiritual power fluctuations on these black boxes are somewhat familiar, why do they feel like storage bags?" Han Li asked with some doubts.
"Senior is right. These black boxes are indeed storage tools. They are actually easier to make than storage bags. Each of them can store goods a hundred times their size, but the storage period is not as long as the storage bag. But it is enough to transport some spiritual soil and the like." Zhenxian Guanshi explained.
"I see." Han Li nodded and said.
Continuing inward along the warehouse, Han Li also saw some special cages, some were as high as a hundred feet high, and some were only three feet in size, with strands of electric light wrapped around them, and sealed talismans stuck on them.
Inside the cage, there were all monsters and spirits crouching down, either with scars or listless monsters.
"There are always people who like these weird things, and are willing to pay a high price. Look at that wild sand lion, it was called by name in the Colosseum in Lingmao City. It took us a lot of effort to get it from the border of the wild world. Come here." The real immortal steward pointed to the cage inside without waiting for Han Li to ask.
Han Li frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Seeing this, the real immortal steward shut his mouth wisely and did not continue speaking.
After he sent Han Li to the door of his guest room, he still couldn't help asking: "Senior, really don't need to change to a higher-class guest room?"
"No need, I like to be quiet, I appreciate Manager Hu's kindness." Han Li said with a smile.
"Then...if you have any orders from senior, feel free to mention them, and I won't bother you for now." The steward Zhenxian said as he resigned.
After he left, Han Li opened the door and entered, only to find that the guest room was very spacious. Besides the bedroom, there was also a quiet room and a living room.
The quiet room and the living room are close to the side of the ship, and each has a small window, from which you can see a piece of sky outside the window.
After Han Li looked around, he began to take out a set of utensils and set up a formation in the entire guest room.
After the arrangement was completed, he came to the quiet room and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
As night fell, the cold moonlight poured down from the porthole, casting a white light spot about a foot in size.
Han Li took off the dark green vial from his chest, and put it in the white light spot. After looking at it for a while, he turned his wrist again, took out the jade slip that recorded the fifth level of the alchemy, and stuck it between his eyebrows. Concentrate on it.
...
The ferry was empty, time passed quietly, and more than thirty years passed in a flash.
By alternately using the teleportation array and taking the ferry, Han Li and the others passed through the Oolong Continent without incident and entered the middle of the Fuqiu Continent.
On this day, Hu San knocked on the guest room door of Han Li who had been in seclusion for a long time.
"Fellow Daoist Li, don't retreat for too long and forget about business. We are almost at Yanbo City, so we have to disembark here." Hu San looked Han Li up and down, and said with a smile.
"Li wants to forget about this, but Fellow Daoist Hu San definitely won't agree. Haha... Fellow Daoist, let's go ahead, I'll tidy up, and I'll come to the deck to meet you right away." Han Li also teased immediately.
Hu San nodded and left immediately.
Han Li closed the door, put away all the array flags, trays and other things in the room, and wiped out all his remaining aura here before leaving for the deck.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Li and his party left the ferry, landed on the official road outside Yanbo City, and walked slowly towards the city.
"Hu San, why don't you disembark after arriving at Illusory Smoke City as agreed before? I have already arranged everything there in advance, but you insist on disembarking here?" Shi Chuankong seemed a little dissatisfied with this matter , asked.
"Brother Shi, you don't know anything about this. Everyone knows that the appearance of the illusory dust and phantom smoke is a harbinger of the remnants of the Mantra Gate, but you don't know where the phantom dust and phantom smoke will come from?" Hu Sanyi asked. With a disgusted look, he said.
"You mean, the misty dust and phantom smoke originated near Yanbo City?" Shi Chuankong doubted.
"Yanbo City, Illusory Mist City, Wind Regret City, and Flowing Mist City, although they are all distributed along the coast of the Illusory Mist Swamp, but the timing of the appearance of the Misty Dust and Phantom Smoke was observed several times before, almost all of them were led by Mist City, which shows their origin The place must be the closest to Yanbo City. According to my speculation, it is very likely to be near the floating island." Hu San heheed, but still explained a few words.
"Fellow Hu San, what are you talking about about the misty dust and phantom smoke?" Han Li asked with some confusion.
"Regarding this matter, let me tell you... After the Mantra Sect was destroyed, for some reason, the entire sect was almost lost except for a few fragments. After that, every three thousand six hundred years , when a kind of pink smoke is born on the Phantom Smog Swamp, some relics of the Mantra Gate will appear, but most of the time they are like mirages, fleeting and unattainable." Immortal Revenant's eyes narrowed slightly, Said slowly.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Heat has done a lot of research on the remains of the Mantra Gate..." Shi Chuankong raised his brows and said.
"It's just some idle rumors." Heat Immortal Venerable said with a haha.
"Actually, there were no relics of the Mantra Gate in the past, and the Phantom Mist Swamp was not originally called by this name." Hu San changed the subject and said so.
"There are no relics?" Han Li was a little surprised and asked with raised eyebrows.
"That's right. About tens of thousands of years ago, the first time the phantom smoke appeared on this swamp, and the relics of the Mantra Gate gradually emerged, and it was only then that this place was renamed the phantom smoke swamp." Fox Three nodded and said.
"So, didn't the ruins of the Mantra Gate suddenly appear? How could this happen?" Han Li frowned and asked.
"The reason...is still not conclusive. However, Brother Shi speculates that the battle to destroy the Mantra Gate was so shocking that the entire Mantra Gate fell into the cracks in space, so there was no trace. It wasn't until tens of thousands of years ago that it resurfaced under unknown circumstances." Hu San explained.
"I'm just making a random guess. Don't take it as the truth. Don't mislead Fellow Daoist Li." Shi Chuankong said with a smile and waved his hand upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Shi is too modest, I think this is very likely to be true." Han Li said solemnly.
A few people walked and talked, and they had already arrived outside Yanbo City Gate before they knew it. There was only a team headed by early-stage True Immortal cultivators at the gate, and the identities of those who entered the city were randomly checked, and the verification was not strict.
After Han Li and the others paid a small fee, they entered the city easily.
