Mortals ask the immortals

As Mo Gen traveled along the way, Duan Qing discovered that most of the land was barren, with only a few farmlands occasionally visible, and even very few trees.

Before it was time for tea, Mo Gen led Duan Qing to stop outside an ancient city.

From a distance, this ancient city seems to be about the same size as Xiao'an City, but it is obviously older than Xiao'an City. The dilapidated city walls have been eroded by the years until only a few wall bases remain. In front of the wall base, an ancient stone tablet is faintly engraved with three words. Character.

"March City!" Duan Qing whispered.

"This is the place with the most people in the Third Heaven, March City, but they are all mortals. If my fellow Taoists hadn't arrived here for the first time, I really wouldn't want to come to this ghost place. The place where we monks live is in the Second Heaven. " Mo Gen explained to Duan Qing and walked into the city with a look of disgust on his face.

Duan Qing and Idiot followed Mo Gen silently. As soon as they entered the city, an indescribable fishy smell passed into Duan Qing's nose. He noticed that the roofs and under the eaves of almost all the houses in the city were covered with sunlight. There may be fish caught. I think the fishy smell is caused by countless fish caught.

Although Mo Gen said before that this place is the place with the most people in the third heaven, there are not many pedestrians on the street at the moment. Occasionally, when someone encounters them, they both show awe, and no one dares to come forward to disturb them.

Moreover, everyone Duan Qing met along the way was dressed very differently from Xiaonanjie. They all seemed to be made of some kind of leather. The fabrics that were very common in Xiaonanjie seemed to have disappeared here, giving people a sense of The primitive feeling of loneliness.

"These are mortals living on the first-level island. The third-level heaven is short of supplies, and their survival depends almost entirely on fishing and hunting!" Mo Gen sighed.

"There are monsters running rampant in the sea in the bottle, why are there still mortals in the third heaven?" Duan Qing expressed his doubts.

"These people are the natives of the third heaven and have lived here for generations!" Mo Gen explained.

Aboriginal? Duan Qin still feels a little strange, how can these mortals survive in the bottle sea where monsters are rampant!

Seemingly sensing Duan Qing's doubts, Mo Gen pondered for a moment, collected his thoughts, and continued to explain.

"Fellow Taoist, do you know that the Third Heaven was not originally called the Third Heaven, but was called the March Island? There was no Bottle Sea around the March Island, but a lake hundreds of miles away, called the March Lake."

Duan Qing suddenly became curious and couldn't help but ask: "Then where does this bottle of sea come from?"

Mo Gen smiled.

"Actually, this is not a secret in the third heaven. Almost everyone knows it. Fellow Taoist friends, you know that the Xiaonan Realm and the Middle Earth were originally connected, and the March Lake is located in the middle of the two places. Countless years ago, the monks of the Xiaonan Realm attacked The Middle-earth was pushed back by the Middle-earth, plundering the rich Xiaonan Realm, and separating the Middle-earth and the Xiaonan Realm with great magical power, causing endless sea water to pour in, and monsters gathered, and this is how the Thousand Miles of Bottled Sea came into being. "

Speaking of this, Mo Gen's words were full of admiration for the generosity of China.

"And March Island, which was originally located in March Lake, has since been placed in the Wanli Bottle Sea and isolated from the world. After that, China sent people to garrison March Island to prevent monks from the Small South Realm from crossing the border. Later, some people in China were stationed on March Island. The monks who couldn't survive also came to March Island to hunt monsters for a living. Gradually they gained a large scale, and March Island was gradually called the Third Heaven, because here, each island seemed to be a third layer. My God, the situation is so different!”

Mo Gen looked at the old and dilapidated houses around him and sighed.

"The people who live on Yichongtian Island are all the natives of March Island, who make a living by fishing and hunting. Now, although there are countless monsters in the Bottle Sea, most of them are in the deep sea. The area near Sanchongtian was originally March Lake, and the water is relatively shallow. Beasts don’t come out often, so the mortals in the first level of heaven can survive for generations!”

While they were talking, the two of them had almost walked out of March City. Mo Gen pointed to another island that was faintly visible in front of him and said: "That is the Second Heaven. Most of them are monks like you and me. My Jubao Pavilion store is on the Second Heaven." Within Tianfang City.”

After walking out of March City, what connected them to the Second Heaven on the other side were three iron-locked bridges that were several miles long. Two of them seemed to be too damaged to be used, and only one of them seemed to be relatively intact.

Under the chain bridge, there seemed to be a pier, but the pier was much livelier than in March City. The pier was crowded with people, and at least hundreds of large and small fishing boats were entering and exiting the pier.

"This chain bridge is for monks who cannot wield swords. Fellow Taoist, just follow me and fly over."

"Yeah!" Duan Qing nodded, took Idiot and followed Mo Gen to the second heaven with his sword.

Looking from above, Duan Qing found that the Second Heavenly Island and the First Heavenly Island in front had similar shapes. They were both crescent-shaped, long and narrow. However, the Second Heavenly Island was obviously much smaller than the First Heavenly Island, with a radius of about dozens of miles. , you can get a glimpse of the whole picture at a glance. The biggest difference from the first layer of the sky is that almost half of the island is occupied by a high mountain.

Mo Gen took Duan Qing and landed directly at the foot of the mountain in the center of the Second Heaven, where Fangshi was located.

"This is Erzhong Tianfang City. Many Middle-earth forces have stores here to purchase monster materials. If Fellow Daoist Duan hunts monsters, he can exchange them for spirit stones, mirror-breaking pills, etc. in Fang City. But for the first time, Fellow Daoist Duan When we get to the third level, it’s better to go to Yuexin Mountain to find an uninhabited cave to settle down.”

Mo Gen pointed to the mountain and reminded Duan Qing.

After hearing this, Duan Qing looked up the mountain and could really see a lot of cave entrances.

"Well, thank you Daoist friend Mo for clarifying my doubts all the way!" Duan Qing thanked Mo Gen sincerely.

"What are you talking about, fellow Taoist? If you have any treasures that you want to get rid of in the future, you can go to the Jubao Pavilion to find them. You will never be deceived!" Mo Gen smiled at Duan Qing, his words were very Chicheng.

"Of course!" Duan Qing nodded in agreement. This Mo Gen was so familiar with the affairs of the Three Heavens that he would have to deal with him again in the future.

"Okay, I still have a mission to complete, so I'll say goodbye to Daoist Fellow Duan here first!" Mo Gen's smile faded, revealing a look of regret, and turned to walk into the market. After just two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Duan Qing again.

"By the way, Daoists from the First and Second Heavens can come and go as they please, but you must not go to the Three Heavens Island without permission!"

"I'll remember that!" Mo Gen mentioned before that someone from the Middle Earth was stationed in the Three Heavens, so the people stationed on the Three Heavens Island must be from the Middle Earth, so Duan Qing would naturally not put himself in danger.

Seeing Mo Gen disappear in the crowd of the market, Duan Qing did not go to the cave to settle down as he reminded him to do, but also walked into the market.

At this time, there were quite a few people in the market. There were no less than dozens of people in his sight. Duan Qing secretly activated the Qi-Viewing Technique to see and found that they were all cultivators, but most of them were in the Qi-training stage, and there were only a few people in the Transcendental Stage.

Duan Qing joined the crowd and walked around the market. The whole market was a circle, not a big place, and there were not many shops, only a dozen or so. The Jubao Pavilion that Mo Gen mentioned was also inside.
