Rune Master

Ming Nanzhou, Ming Nancheng.

Perhaps it was because Venerable Miaofa explained that after coming out of the teleportation formation, the sturdy middle-aged practitioner who picked him up was very enthusiastic.

"If you need to enter Wuwu Swamp, how should you go next?" Jing Chen asked the middle-aged cultivator.

"Where are you going?" The middle-aged cultivator's expression changed from surprise to comprehension, "Yes, the Earth Talisman Realm was invaded by strange demons, and only Wuwu Swamp is considered a pure land. People who have been teleported over the past two days, Most of them have the same purpose as you."

"There is no teleportation array in the Qianzhou domain that can reach there directly. I heard that even the venerable dare not go deep into it easily. It is the territory of the witch clan." Hearing the intention of Jing Chen and his party, he did not plan to stay in Mingnan City, a middle-aged cultivator A lot of indifference: "The only way is to take the sea route from the Corpse Demon Sea. If you two need it, I can help you get in touch. Recently, a caravan going to Wuwu Swamp just happened to stop at the shore."

Jing Chen and his entourage were waiting for news at the post station in Mingnan City.

Looking down from the window, there are sparse crowds walking on the street, and there are scattered vendors shouting and selling goods on the street, which is much more lively than the depressed Shizhou City.

The defensive formation has also been opened, but due to the fact that there is Rongchuan Island next to it to attract strange demons, the defensive pressure here is still relatively low.

"So you were smuggled out with a merchant ship?" After Jing Chen asked Xiao Wu, he was a little bit dumbfounded, "Aren't you abducted by human traffickers?" Back then, he and Suzaku were abducted in the territory of the Wan Yao Clan, or they were abducted voluntarily kind of.

"Are you an idiot?" Xiao Wu opened his eyes, pointing to his pure white eyes without pupils, "I'm not blind, it's easy to see a person's good or bad, it's you, would you go with someone with malicious intentions? "

Jing Chen: "..." Your white eyes are really not convincing.Oh, if it was me, I would really follow along, and then burn down the lair of human traffickers after the ride.

Ling Yi: "Puchi."

Jing Chen pursed his mouth, his eyes shifted from Xiao Wu to Ling Yi's face, feeling wronged.

"Ahem, people are coming." Ling Yi restrained his smile.

There was a knock on the door.

……

The caravan ship docked at a wharf town on the Sea of ​​Corpse Devils. Since it was outside Mingnan City, the middle-aged cultivator handed Jing Chen and his party over to a skinny old man and left.

The old man was really thin, as if there was only a layer of skin left on the bones. His back was bent, his skin was brown and black, and he wore a colorful turban on his head. He was in good spirits.

"Eat." Asura handed his snacks to the old man. His little hands were too short, and he lay on Ling Yi's back and his whole body hung sideways. "Eat, you will grow fat."

"Aiya." The old man spoke with a rumbling sound, like a broken bellows, a little hoarse, "This is the first time I see a child who is not afraid of old age." He smiled and took it from Asura's hand, and saw that it was delicious. Dried meat, take out a dried lizard in return.

Asura blinked, holding the lizard's tail with his small hand, the exchanged meat was reflected in his eyes.

The lizard is huge, it's a lizard the size of Asura's head, and it will only get bigger before it's dried!

"This is a night lizard that can only be found in Wuwu Swamp. It is dried with the spices passed down from the old ancestors for drying corpses. It is made by blowing the corpse demon sea and sea wind for fifteen days. It is only supplied to the big sect on the south side of Wuwu Swamp. It can be eaten by ordinary people. No roar." The old man said proudly.

No appetite at all after listening to it.The two parents, Jing Chen and Ling Yi, thanked the old man, and declined the other party's kindness to give them one too.

I never expected that the knowledge of Wuwu Swamp began with a lizard.

But the two didn't want it, Xiao Wu got one instead.

The giant lizard stared blankly at everyone, and was finally eaten by Asura and Xiao Wu.

There was an old man leading the way, and he rarely encountered strange monsters along the way, so the journey went smoothly.

The dock town is built in the bay, and it is a temporary resting place for monks to come and go. It occupies a small area, and its area is smaller than the few large ships that are docked. There are a few low buildings scattered here and there in the town.

The old man said that the fleet that took them there was organized by a traveling merchant. They traded between Wuwu Swamp and Qianzhou all the year round, and they were familiar with the route, so they were safe and secure.

With the old man's cultivation and eyesight, he couldn't see the strength of Jing Chen and Ling Yi. He just felt that it was too bold for the two young people to take the two children to the territory of the Wu clan, so he had to pay attention to them in the Wuwu Marsh while leading the way. Pick and choose things.

"No matter which city you disembark from, remember to buy insect repellent powder made by the local Wu tribe as soon as possible." The old man solemnly said.

The merchant ship that was about to board was right in front of it, and it was smaller than other ships nearby. Some crew members were loading and unloading goods, and they were very busy. The old man asked the two of them to wait for a while before boarding the ship and negotiating with the person in charge of the caravan.

"Look at that bow." Ling Yi suddenly turned to another direction.

The sea water of Corpse Demon Sea is gray, exuding a fishy and salty smell that is different from ordinary sea water. The fishy smell blown by the wind has a trace of rusty smell of blood. It was a "bang bang" sound like a high-pressure water gun hitting a wooden board.

There are three medium-sized ships between the ship Ling Yi pointed out and the one introduced by the old man, which is the second largest among all the docked ships.

The hull of the ship is extremely high, made of black wood, dark and strong, and the main deck of the bow is particularly prominent. A statue of a beast hangs at the front, and a melon-eating girl is shaking her feet leisurely on the head of the statue.

It really eats melons. It looks like a watermelon. The color of the flesh is purple. The skin is cut into large pieces and the girl holds it in her hand. She eats it in such a big way that she has no image. From the splash of juice, it can be seen that there is a lot of water.

Asura "sucked", raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Jing Chen raised his head, opened his eyes and mouth slightly, and called out to the girl with some hesitation: "Feng Fei?"

The girl on the beast statue paused for a melon-eating movement, leaned her body and poked her head out a little: "Huh?" Holding the beast's head with her hands, she tilted her body forward a little more to see the person below, "Ahhh , Lu Ni, help me!"

The girl screamed and fell from the beast's head, falling into the sea of ​​corpses in a straight line.

Watching the whole process, Jingchen's mouth twitched when he saw that the girl slipped and fell into the sea because of the purple melon juice on the animal head.

"This sea area is weird." Ling Yi sensed the energy fluctuations around him, "Gravity is different from other places."

"Besides, sea water is corrosive to energy, and the rank of the venerable is also affected." Jing Chen continued, "I seem to have heard her name called Lu Ni?"

I found this name from the depths of my memory, and the picture that appeared with it was Bai Zheng who made the puppet in the tree house.

The girl fell into the sea, the atmosphere on the big ship was stagnant, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded.

"The owner of the village is not well, Ma'am, she fell into the sea again!"

"It's not good, ma'am, she choked on melon again and fell into the sea!"

"Village Master, Madam, she will die soon after falling into the sea!"

A figure quickly jumped off the side of the boat, found exactly where Feng Fei was, and dragged the girl to climb up the rope on the side of the boat.

There was another flurry of footsteps on the boat.

Jing Chen: "..."

Ling Yi: "..."

The old man who was looking for the person in charge of the caravan came back at this time, and seeing the two people looking at the direction of the big ship, he lowered his voice and said fearfully: "It is the ship of the Yin Puppet Sect, and the people in their sect are very strange and very xenophobic. The Zongmen system is also weird, they live in the mountains all year round, they don’t have the style of a big clan, they are more like a group of bandits occupying the mountains as kings, if you encounter them, you’d better hide.”

The bandit or something has already been heard.Ling Yi wondered: "The Yin Puppet Sect is the Dazong?"

"That's not it, the third grade, the sect is located in the southeast of Wuwu Marsh." The old man said with a smile, "I've made arrangements over there. After you get on the boat, tell them the destination. The sailing route of the merchant fleet It is the longest one, almost going around Wuwu Swamp, and passing by all the cities."

Jing Chen nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but we may not be on the boat."

"Aren't you leaving?" The old man was surprised, "Aren't you going to Wu Wu Swamp?" He only left for a while, and the two young people changed their minds?

Where the big boat of the Yin Puppet Sect is located, the girl who was picked up returned to the top of the statue of the beast, and waved excitedly to Jingchen, her eyes shining: "Hey Xiaojing, do you want to take the boat? I'll take you!"

The crew behind them were in chaos.

"The owner of the village is not good, Ma'am, she has taken a fancy to other men!"

"It's not good, ma'am, she stole a man and came back to be the new village owner!"

Lu Ni: "Shut up."

"Here, someone invited us to take a boat." Jing Chen said with a smile.

"This, this." The old man was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the two of them would be related to the strange Yin Puppet Sect that he said.In his dazed effort, two bottles of pills were stuffed into his hand.

"Come right away!" Jing Chen finished answering Feng Fei, turned his head and smiled at the old man, "These two bottles, one is Cao Muxin Elixir, which can remove the erysipelas accumulated in your body from taking medicine all the year round, and the other is Jinghuo Pill. It can cure the five toad poison, please go again and tell the merchant fleet, we have a ship, please get old."

"This, how did this happen." The old man couldn't evade it in time, and when he came back to his senses, Jing Chen had already dragged his family and boarded the big boat of the Yin Puppet Sect.

"Eat meat, get fat." Asura waved his little meaty hand at the old man, in his arms was a large bag of dried locusts given by the old man on the road.

Jing Chen poked Asura's face: "After taking the elixir to cure the disease, you can gain weight."

"Oh hoho hoo." Asura laughed and squeaked.

The old man stood where he was, holding two bottles of pills tightly in his hands.

……

There is gravity on the corpse demon sea, and the group of people boarded the ship honestly through the passage on the ship's side deck.

Feng Fei rushed towards her, saw Xiao Wu holding Jing Chen's hand, and Ashura holding Ling Yi in her arms, and stopped abruptly.

Asura's face is like a miniature version of Jing Chen, Feng Fei's eyes are constantly wandering on one big and one small body, her mouth opened exaggeratedly: "I only know that the demon male monster has a pregnancy sac, it turns out that you people also..."

Lu Ni came from behind, and covered Feng Fei's mouth with his hand from behind: "Calm down for a while, this is the fifth time you have fallen into the sea this month, and you will lose your share of fruit tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm." With accusation in her eyes, Feng Fei danced and struggled in Lu Ni's arms, "Hmm!" It wasn't me who wanted to fall.

"Oh oh oh." The crew next to him booed, "The village master is mighty."

"For the fifth time this month, give money give money."

"Come, come, a new handicap has opened, everyone, this time it's ten times, is there anyone betting on it?"

Jing Chen wanted to get off the boat a little bit.

The ship is very big, and it looks even bigger after boarding the ship. The deck is empty, with only a few bundles of hemp rope tied with canvas. It was watching Feng Fei and Lu Ni's excitement, clapping from time to time, and the atmosphere was particularly enthusiastic.

However, most of these crew members are not humans, but wooden or metal puppets, and the sound comes from the sound transmission stone at the throat.

"Long time no see." Lu Ni said calmly, "Where are you going, I will see you off."

Jing Chen, who had a brotherhood experience with the other party, knew that it was not that the other party was unwelcoming, but that his personality was such that his emotions didn't fluctuate much.Being able to say something like giving a ride away already shows that the other party is actually very happy.

Jing Chen let Xiao Wu go and let him and Asura go to play with Feng Fei, and he and Ling Yi stayed behind to chat with Lu Ni: "Black Feather City."

"It's not far, I can send you there first." Lu Ni frowned, "That's one of the main cities managed by the Wu Clan. The Yin Puppet Sect can't reach out, so it can't help you too much."

"Just go to the place and put us down." Jing Chen waved his hands nonchalantly, and talked about Feng Fei, "I didn't expect to meet here, so you finally came together."

Talking about Feng Fei, Lu Ni's tense expression eased slightly: "Some things happened after coming to Fujie, which is more complicated."

Jing Chen narrowed his eyes narrowly: "I know, I went to the wedding of the Saintess of the Phoenix Clan. The scene is very grand, but it's a pity that the groom is not you."

Lu Ni: "..."

This is really not a good topic, Lu Ni's face darkened immediately, and he has no doubt that if the person who spoke was not Jing Chen, he might be thrown overboard on the spot.

The ship was about to set sail, and Lu Ni made an excuse to leave, and before leaving, he gave Ling Yi a "take care of your family" look.

"Being on someone's boat, save some face for others." Ling Yi laughed.

"Oh, just looking at this stuffy gourd is considered a fruitful achievement, I can't help being teased." Jing Chen scratched his cheek, "At the time of Xiaoshijie, it was obviously right, so I had to mess with you. Well, it turned out that he was married when he came back, so he almost lost his wife, didn't he?"

"Wow, it turns out that Mrs. Yazhai was really snatched by the village owner."

"Crack, clap." A group of puppets who eavesdropped on the crowd applauded, "Congratulations to the village master for successfully continuing the fine tradition that our wife has stolen."

Nima, what a wonderful sect this is.Jing Chen was speechless, thought for a while and said, "Excuse me, is there someone named Bai Zheng in your village? He should be the master of your village master."

Only the faceless puppet who didn't make a face answered: "Elder Bai Zheng, there are some, when we fought against the Yang Puppet Sect, they were the main elders in the battle, and the body armor on my body was guided by Elder Bai Zheng! "

"And my torso too!"

"Me too. Elder Bai Zheng likes to drink. The children around him are called Xiaojiu, but Xiaojiu is the one who keeps him from drinking hahaha."

A group of puppets talked to each other without hiding anything or thinking that it was a secret of the sect, and sold Bai Zheng completely.

When Lu Ni came back, the puppet man broke the news about what Elder Bai Zheng had to say about the past with a female elder of the Yang Puppet Sect.

Jing Chen was a little embarrassed.

God knows he only asked one question, really only one question!Then the scene was out of his control!

You said it was very exclusive?Is it really okay for you to lift up Baizheng's underpants? ? ?

"They are the puppet incarnations of the brothers in the sect." Lu Ni glanced over, and the puppet people, birds and beasts scattered, "The real body has not been outside the sect all year round, and the incarnation will be more lively. You can just listen to some words ,Do not take it seriously."

Jingchen smiled dryly: "OK."

The speed of the ship is not slow, but the Sea of ​​Corpse Devils is a special place, and it needs to be driven in a special channel, and it must not be wrong-this is the experience of blood and tears summed up by the seniors in the sect who have sailed on it for thousands of years-so the Black Feather City Not far, it will take some time.

"Xiao Jing, come here." Feng Fei waved at the side of the boat rail.

The sea of ​​corpse demons was gray, occasionally a huge black shadow would pass by, and soon disappear without a trace.The cracks in the sky are still there, and the cobweb-like black and purple lines are getting denser.

When the night falls, there are bright gaps in the sky, and the undercurrents under the calm waves in the sea, bringing an increasingly urgent sense of crisis.

Jing Chen walked towards Feng Fei, Ling Yi leaned against the boat pole and closed his eyes to rest.

In fact, Lu Ni had prepared a cabin for them, but according to the speed of the ship, the time to arrive at Heiyu City would be in the second half of the night. To save time, they planned to disembark directly after arriving without staying overnight, and just stayed on the deck to make ends meet.

A faint light curtain enveloped the hull, blocking out the fishy smell from the sea of ​​corpse demons.

"Xiao Jing, do you want to know why this place is called Corpse Devil Sea?" Feng Fei smiled so much that she was in a state of ready to move, as if Jing Chen would overturn the bottom of the sea when she said "yes".

Jing Chen didn't answer: "No, I don't want to."

"No, you want to!" Feng Fei grabbed Jing Chen's hand and shook it vigorously up and down, "As the host, I decided to show you the special products of the Corpse Demon Sea."

Before Jingchen could react, Feng Feilisuo let go of her hand, and a two-meter-tall desolate beast appeared out of thin air. She lifted it high above her head and slammed it into the distant sea.

Jing Chen: "??"

Before the desolate beast fell, the surface of the water was churning, and shiny white hands emerged from the water. The hands were connected to corpses that had been swollen by the seawater, with deformed facial features and wounds turned outwards. There are still shredded clothes hanging, and they are still moving. This is simply a pile of rotten meat.

Oh, this pile of meat is still vying for wild beasts, and I don't know how one by one managed to overlap and float on the sea.

In the dark night, there are hundreds of corpses fighting for meat on the sea, the scene is extremely strange.

"The specialty of Corpse Devil Sea." Feng Fei giggled, "Of course it's Corpse Demon."

Jing Chen: "..." Ahhhh, I won't listen and I won't watch!

How insane is this, dear, wouldn't it be good to let them stay in the sea? !

"Wow, it's all..." Xiao Wu quickly covered Asura's mouth, not wanting to hear the word "meat" from him at all, he doesn't want to eat meat these days!

The author has something to say: Feng Xiaofei crazily threw meat into the sea: "Let you bully my Lu Xiaoni during the day!"

Jing Chen: "vomit."
