When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

In the early morning of the next day, Hong Ming and others stepped on the flying sword, bid farewell to the poet, and galloped towards the holy island.Looking down at the Red Sea from the sky, it is completely different from Kyushu. The sea water here is red in color, and there are few ships on the sea surface. The entire sea area is like a blood-colored abyss, which looks extremely strange.

"The sea water here has been red since ancient times?" After walking for a long time, Hong Ming couldn't help asking the girl beside him.

"Yeah." Cora asked curiously, "What color should it be if it's not red?"

Hong Ming was dumbfounded immediately, no mistake, since the waters of Kyushu can be vast expanse of blue waves, the sea of ​​Aulun can also be red and rough, but I don't know what kind of scenery it will be.After thinking for a while, Hong Ming continued to ask, "According to what you said, the cities of the Haimin clan are human cities that fell into the seabed during the catastrophe. If so, how can these cities live safely on the seabed?"

Cora smiled slightly, "Of course I rely on the protection of the goddess. According to legend, the tsunami and earthquake caused by the cataclysm flooded 12 cities on the coast, and 3 of them were located on the erupting submarine volcano, and were instantly annihilated by magma. Nine were moved to the bottom of the sea far away from the volcano at the moment of entering the water, and a transparent shield appeared above each city to isolate the sea water."

"Nine cities? Are they all in the same place?" Hong Ming asked.

"Of course not. Although the underwater world is vast, how can we find a place that can accommodate 9 cities?" Cora looked a little proud, "The 9 cities are distributed in different directions, facing each other at a distance, and are closely connected. , the goddess appeared in front of the people and taught us how to fish, how to spin, and how to overcome the terrible underwater world. According to the exercises taught by the goddess, our people gradually grew webbed toes suitable for swimming on the seabed through practice. It also produces buccal gills that can breathe in water, our skin is tougher, our body is stronger, and there are some offensive and defensive spells, which can help us survive in the seabed better."

"Since the goddess has been with you day and night, why do you want to sing songs on the holy island to wake up the goddess?"

"This is the sacrifice of our clan!" Cora replied without hesitation, "Since 1000 years ago, the goddess has fallen into a deep sleep, and no one in the clan has seen her figure again. But according to the will of the goddess, We need to wake up the sleeping holy island with singing from generation to generation. Originally, there was no woman with my appearance in the sea people, but she was born suddenly thousands of years ago, and appeared on time every 60 years, without interruption for a whole thousand and five hundred years. Therefore, our The responsibility is so arduous." A nearly holy radiance flashed on the girl's face, "As long as you sing on the holy island, the holy stone in the center of the island will emit a white fluorescence, and the phantom of the goddess with the head of a fish will rise from it, and the god Sing softly together. That song will strengthen the shield over our city, suppress the restlessness of the death vortex, and restore us to peace."

"Then what kind of existence is the maelstrom of death you are talking about? It seems dangerous and terrifying to everyone."

"The maelstrom of death is the culprit of all disasters. It is the punishment of the ancient gods. The sight cannot be described in words. Once you see it, you will never forget it. It is really terrifying!" The girl sighed faintly, "But we have already missed it. I don’t know if the goddess will be angry for our negligence, if the magic circle that suppresses the whirlpool of death is damaged, we really..."

Faced with such worries, Hong Ming couldn't say enough words to comfort him.For a while, there was no sound from the flying sword, only the whistling sea wind blew past his ears.

"Hong Ming, did you find any problems?"

A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of his heart, it was the dark elf transmitting to him, Hong Ming glanced at Sarn slightly in surprise. "Why do you ask this question?"

"Your question is too detailed, not like my own style." Sarn returned him with a chuckle, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's not wrong." Hong Ming paused, "Perhaps like the abandoned people in the desert, what the sea people know is only the scales and claws, not the original appearance."

"They have all seen the goddess with their own eyes, accepted the goddess' reward, and even kept the goddess' entrustment. How can it be false?"

"This goddess is the biggest flaw. The mermaids are not a race that is good at cultivating. They are lacking in talent and ability. In the legends of Kyushu, there has never been a mermaid who has become a fairy. If it is a snake tail, a phoenix tail, or even a black turtle, a giant Kun has the potential to become a goddess in this world, but the mermaid..." Hong Ming was silent for a moment, "Forget it, we will see for ourselves when we visit the holy island."

As the sun went down, they were getting closer and closer to the destination of the trip. However, when the flying sword flew somewhere, the blade suddenly trembled, as if disturbed by a strong wind, and it was no longer stable. With a trick, he used a fixed wind spell, barely stabilizing his figure.At this time, a voice came from beside him.

"The swirl of death!"

It was the cry of the dark elf, with a slightly altered tone, revealing great fear and panic.Hong Ming looked forward, and with just one glance, he could understand what made this bold dark elf so timid.

There is a terrifying vortex in front of you, which is 50 nautical miles wide. The turbulent waves are rolling in the vortex, and the air above it is roaring like a black dragon. Around it, there are no living things, birds, sea fish, or even coral groves or hidden reefs. Nothing was seen, only a few isolated islands stood outside the vortex, everything else seemed to be swallowed by this abyss, and even the clouds in the sky did not dare to stop here.Where is this a vortex?It is clearly the entrance to the Demon Abyss that devours everything!

After being dazed for a while, Sarn seemed to have finally found his tongue, and looked at the Haimin girl in a daze. "Is this what you call a 'suppressed' vortex? What would it look like if it wasn't suppressed?"

"It will go straight to the Demon Realm and devour everything." At this moment, Cora seemed calm instead, no longer like a fragile girl. Responsibility made her straighten her back, and her immature face glowed with glory.

"This time, I believe that there is a true god beside you." Sarn murmured, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.Even though he was so high and so far away, he didn't feel safe at all, and he just wanted to escape from this terrifying place immediately.Being able to suppress such changes in the world can only be a miracle of the true god.

Hong Ming didn't speak right away, he watched the death vortex carefully for a long time, and then moved his eyes to the nearby islands. There were nine islands there, each of which was not big, and they were divided into nine directions, forming a similar circular shape. Beside them, a tiny island floats in the sea, giving off a soft glow.

Hong Ming pointed down, "Is this your holy island?"

Cora nodded, "That's right, the small island next to the island to the southwest is that, and the nine islands next to it represent our nine sea cities."

"In the underwater world, are your cities also arranged like this?" Hong Ming frowned slightly.

"Yes, even the directions are exactly the same, but the distance between Haicheng is much farther, and it can cover a large area of ​​sea."

Looking at the island below him, Hong Ming showed a wry smile. It is because there is not enough space to place them separately. The pattern formed by the nine cities is clearly a map of the Nine Palaces.The Nine Palaces are the foundation of Qimen Dunjia, which is called the territory.Qimen Dunjia is divided into four plates: heaven, earth, man, and god. Among the four plates, only the ground is immovable, which is sitting on the mountain.It is absolutely appropriate to use the Nine Palaces to suppress the disaster of the sea leak.

At the time of the catastrophe, he used magical powers to move mountains and seas, move nine cities, suppress land lines, and lay down nine palace formations to protect the lives of millions of people and prevent the spread of the vortex in front of him. How can a little mermaid be able to do so? do it?And if the city of Haimin formed a formation to suppress the changes of the death vortex, then it should be immortal for ten thousand years. With the city in the formation, there was no need to wake up the goddess.Why does this kind of tasteless sacrifice exist?

"Hong Ming, we should go down, it's already full moon." Cora urged.

The huge full moon shining with silver light has risen to the mid-heaven, and it seems to be hanging above the whirlpool of death. It sets off the magic abyss as strange and beautiful as a dream, bringing out a thrilling aura.

Led by the girl, the three of them came to the island in the southwest - in Hong Ming's view, it was located in the position of Kun.Cora told the two solemnly, "I'm about to enter the sacrificial ceremony, and the singing needs to last for seven full days, matching the shadow of the goddess. During this period, don't let anything disturb me, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain. .”

"Seven days?" Hong Ming hesitated, "You haven't practiced any exercises, seven days..."

"It's okay." The girl smiled slightly, "The goddess will bless me and protect my safety. After the sacrifice, my voice will be dedicated to the goddess, and I will never speak again in this life." With such cruel words, the girl has no fear or fear. Regret, with a kind of sacred solemnity.

Hong Ming hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly replied, "I will definitely protect you."

Having received Hong Ming's promise, the girl stopped talking and walked straight to the stone platform on the edge of the island.Taking a deep breath, he began to chant.

Hearing this song, Hong Ming was startled again.The rhyme of this song is ancient and clumsy, the singing is not like Chinese, but like the voice of the legendary shark, but it is not difficult to hear a ray of affection in the melody, under the delicate voice of a girl, it is even more tender, sad and sweet.What kind of spell is this, it is clearly a love song that speaks directly to the heart.

Sarn shook his ears and muttered to himself, "It doesn't sound like it was used for sacrifices...ah!"

In Sarn's exclamation, the white island began to glow faintly, and a hazy figure slowly emerged on the island, with a fishtail body, long arms, and an indescribably beautiful face, even Yinyue was overwhelmed by it.The figure became brighter and brighter, until every detail was visible, suspended above the holy island like a real person, with a smile more beautiful than a dream, accompanied by the girl's singing, and began to sing softly.

The scene was breathtakingly beautiful, Sarn held his breath, completely bewildered by the amazing singing and beautiful scenery, and even forgot where he was.Hong Ming was still able to maintain a trace of clarity. The mermaid's voice itself has magical powers, and he had to use a meditation spell to escape. After regaining his sanity, he carefully observed the graceful phantom of the mermaid. Between it and the girl, There is indeed a kind of spiritual agitation, only the blood of the girl can call out the phantom, and only the soft singing of the phantom can resonate with the girl.

But what is the purpose of this song?It doesn't have a trace of divine power in it, and it has nothing to do with the blessing formation, so why repeat it again and again?Could it be... a flash of inspiration, Hong Ming slowly turned around and looked behind him.Behind him, the nine islands were immersed in the night, and the surrounding fields were completely dark, even the starlight was swallowed up, leaving no trace of it.
