"It's really thanks to the bottom of the pot in your family. This cross-boundary dizziness is too severe. Thanks to my self-proclaimed strength as a cow, I was the first to fall in this cross-boundary. I was the one who reacted the most, alas, my old Zhu Xiuxian has never been sick before, and I have never been sick since I became a fairy, and now this disease is so hard to kill me." When I saw Angelica again, because the bottom of the pot was ashes For the reasons given by his family, the bodyguards greeted him one after another to express their gratitude.

The person who spoke was Zhu Ling, the coldest swordsman at ordinary times. As the monk with the highest force value among the bodyguards this time, Zhu Ling has been extremely cold since the day he entered the convoy. She looked so intimidating, but now that she opened her mouth, everyone knew the reason why she didn't speak.

↓

A word with a strong accent!

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhu Ling's face turned red: "I, I also know that my accent is weird, but I'm stupid... I haven't learned your words after studying for 500 years. ..."

They simply stopped talking—everyone thought.

Angelica is also clever, with the same smile on his face, he immediately changed his accent a little, and said to Zhu Ling in the local dialect of Tuer Village: "Does your accent sound a bit like ours?"

Cough, the people in Tuer Village also have an accent when they speak on weekdays, but the language talent of Lao Du's family is extraordinary. The Du family has almost become popular. When the family comes to Hedu, the standard Mandarin in Hedu will become more standard. Except for some characteristic small endings that can't be removed, the others can hardly be recognized as foreigners.

When Dang Gui opened his mouth, Zhu Ling said excitedly, "Don't tell me, it's really similar! Where is your family from?"

Danggui told her the location of Tuer Village, and Zhu Ling thought for a long time, but she couldn't help it. She came here from her hometown in 500 years to find immortals. After so long, many villages have changed. Finally, she said: "But the village The name of the town is unfamiliar, maybe it’s been too long.”

"But the direction is indeed the same direction, maybe we are really fellows!" Zhu Ling said.

"It must be like this. Otherwise, how could you drink the ashes from my house when you have such severe dizziness? It must be because my hometown is your hometown." Angelica said with a smile.

"Yes! That's it! We must be fellow villagers! Look, we both have the same surname!" Zhu Ling said, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly brought out something.

"Exactly!" Angelica also brought out one.

So, the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and both laughed.

Zhu Jianxiu, who is the most cold, has taken off his cold clothes. The others are actually not that difficult to get along with. There are indeed people who are really cold-tempered, but being cold doesn’t mean being difficult to get along with. At most, they are just not that talkative. However People who cultivate immortals can endure loneliness. Everyone can pass the assessment and enter the bodyguard team. Naturally, they have their own opinions on cultivation and discuss with each other. After coming and going, the atmosphere among everyone will become better and better. All the stewards on board breathed a sigh of relief: before, because the bodyguards competed with one another, it was difficult for them to do things, and they were cautious when talking to them. In the end, it was easy to save even talking to each other. All of them are active people, it's really hard for them to be as cold as these bodyguards!

At this time, they had to sigh again: Zhu Ji is worthy of being the daughter of their steward Du's family. You see, they are also the ones who do business and train children. They are also sword cultivators, but how clever they are?He took care of all the other sword cultivators in two or three strokes, and even took her to practice swords!

And - look, a family like them can produce such an excellent baby!

For a while, the stewards were full of pride, and they all thought to themselves that they must do a good job. It doesn't matter if they can't become a great monk, but maybe their children can!

At that time, my child's master might be among this group of big monks. Thinking about it this way, all the stewards will have smiles on their faces when facing the bodyguards, and they will bring them whatever delicious food and drink. For their part, they often go over to chat with them on weekdays.

The atmosphere in the whole team has become old.

The bodyguards did not say anything about the value of force, nor did they say anything about the understanding of "Tao", but in other aspects, they may not be as good as the stewards.

Such as life experience.

It is true that the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the life expectancy. Almost all the bodyguards present are several times the age of the stewards. However, they spend most of their time in hard training. Even if they have some adventures, they are rare Yes, not everyone can meet them. In terms of various experiences, there are not as many stewards who run all over the world in the southeast, northwest, and this time. There are many, and the words are clever, and the stories he tells are lifelike, and the bodyguards love to listen to them very much.

For example, on this day, they sat together and told stories again.

It is night now, although the journey in the world is pitch black, regardless of day or night, but in order to prevent everyone from getting confused after entering the world, Senior Sister Song ordered the team to turn on the lights during the day and then turn off two-thirds of them at night.

With two-thirds of the lights turned off, the convoy dimmed a lot. Looking at the crane cart behind them from the stern of the boat where they are now, I feel that the crane cart looks extraordinarily ethereal.

Now is the rest time. Except for the bodyguards and stewards who stayed on the crane cart on duty, the rest of the people are resting on the ship. It is at this time that they gather together to talk, which can be regarded as a kind of rest.

This time, the person who took the initiative to tell the story was He Fang—the deputy shopkeeper who popularized the Crane Festival to Du Yuhan at the beginning. This time, as a shopkeeper with rich cross-border experience in the workshop, she also went with her.

"I don't have much talent for cultivation, so I rely on my ancestors to run the business. I settled my family in Hedu with a little cultivation, so I was lucky enough to enter Taobaofang early, and I can count on it now. Some insight." As a native of Hedu, she entered Taobaofang earlier than most of the shopkeepers, and she knew what other people in the shop often said about her behind their backs, so she simply said it directly as an opening.

"That happened when I was about ten years old. To be honest, I am not young now, and I can't remember anything that happened when I was a child. I only remember that one thing. It is really impressive."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, He Fang began to tell a story—"You say, what will you encounter when sailing outside the boundary?" She first asked a question.

"Uh... floating islands?" Someone immediately said that they had already passed two floating islands.

"Well, what else?" He Fang affirmed, and then continued to ask.

"...Other realms?" This is even less, except for the Junan Realm and Huanyue Realm in the distance when they left Xiaocang Realm at the beginning, they have not seen other realms so far.

"That's right, what else?" He Fang asked.

"This..." The others couldn't figure it out.

The Nascent Souls who came here this time, to be honest, in terms of cross-border travel, their experience is not as good as that of some stewards. The reason why they actively signed up is to experience it first and prepare for future cross-border travel. All they can answer is What you see along the way, if you don’t see it, you can’t answer it.

He Fang stopped asking, and she took the initiative to announce the answer: "The corpse."

"what!?"

Seeing the astonishment on everyone's faces, He Fang nodded: "We will encounter corpses when traveling outside the realm."

"My family members are all outer disciples in the palace. They all have business errands outside. They run around all year round. When I was young, when no one was watching them, they could only take me with them. When I was ten years old, In [-], my mother took me, and I went out across the border for the first time in my life, and I remember very clearly that we took a boat that time, which was about the same size as the boat we are taking now, and it was a big boat.”

"One night I couldn't sleep, so I sneaked onto the deck at night, which is almost where I am now. I stood on the deck and played alone."

"Then I was playing, and suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object falling behind me. I turned my head and saw that it was a dead body!"

"I was frightened to death at that time. I cried loudly and led everyone on the boat out. The adults finally collected the corpse and set it on fire."

"My mother said that the man had been dead for a long time, and he probably was suspended somewhere near us. Our ship passed by and disturbed the air layer near him, and he fell down."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and when they heard this, someone asked: "Why is there a corpse? When you were young...was it a time when casual cultivators were rampant outside the world, and robbers robbed people and killed people often? ?”

He Fang shook her head: "I was already settled when I was a child, and I could see clearly the corpse I met at that time. It was a serene corpse. It was well-dressed, rich in clothes, with a pearl in its mouth. It was a middle-aged man from a wealthy family. .”

"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled.

"My mother didn't know at the time, but after asking my grandmother, I found out that many worlds have the custom of pouring corpses out of the world for immortality."

"If a person dies outside the boundary, the corpse can be immortal for a thousand years. Don't you know this?" He Fang said.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, she continued: "I don't know who discovered this first, the immortal cultivators are fine, but many mortals have heard about this from the immortal cultivators, and they have the idea of ​​immortality. Many princes and generals After death, the tomb is not repaired, and the coffin and the corpse are directly sent out of the boundary, in order to ascend to heaven after death. Because of this custom, there are many coffins outside the boundary. And because only the rich can do this, the coffins in the coffin Most of them are treasures. Loose cultivators will run rampant outside the boundary. Some of them are also the idea of ​​the treasures in the coffin. They pried the coffin and left only the corpses. These corpses became wandering corpses floating outside the boundary. When there is a fleet passing by around, it will fall."

"So that's how it is." Hearing such a story, everyone nodded at first, and then they had new doubts: "But it's easy for a cultivator to say, how do mortals transport the coffin to the outside world?"

He Fang glanced at the man, and then said: "This requires pulling the coffin."

"Ordinary people don't have the magic power to reach the sky, but their wisdom can reach the sky. They can't go to the sky and cross the boundary, so they find the gods who can go to the sky and cross the boundary, and take them up."

"The crane, the unicorn, the fire phoenix, and the dragon—they are all divine beasts they found to carry the coffin."

"Riding a crane to the west—isn't there a saying among mortals? Going back to ancient times, you will know that this is about using a crane to carry the coffin and take the dead to heaven."

"However, the emperor of mortals favors dragons, and many cultivators also favor dragons the most, especially the phoenix, which belongs to fire and yang, which is contrary to the yin of the dead. The unicorn represents auspiciousness, which is not in harmony with the yin of the dead. Finally, gradually, the coffin is lifted. It becomes the dragon's business."

"Ordinary people are the most particular. On their side, the emperor's death is called death, the prince's death is called death, and the doctor's death is called death... People of different levels have different names for death, and the level of the coffin-carrying gods must also be different."

"Ordinary princes use two dragons to carry the coffin, and more powerful dukes use four dragons to carry the coffin. Princesses and princes can be upgraded to six dragons. When they reach the emperor level, they must be nine dragons, and the nine dragons carry the coffin. The levels are also different, the highest level of Nine Dragons Coffin Carrying is said to be the Nine-headed Five-Clawed Candle Yintian Dragon as a slave animal, pulling the dead to heaven, it is also called Nine Dragons Coffin Carrying.”

Imagining that scene, everyone sighed.

"I really want to have a chance to see that Jiulong coffin!" Human said at that time.

He Fang shook her head: "It's better not to, there are tattoos of Nine Dragons pulling coffins among mortals, but those are extremely fierce patterns, beyond the reach of human life, the same is true when seeing Nine Dragons pulling coffins. There are often tens of thousands of living sacrifices in the coffin, and countless people are pulled into the outside world to die alive. The whole coffin is full of Yin Qi, which is an extremely evil thing. Anyone who sees it will die. It is best not to encounter it. Here we go!"

It was a nice cool night. Because of this story, everyone felt chilly. In the end, Senior Sister Song couldn't hold it anymore, and asked people to light up all the lights in advance, and ordered the kitchen to cook in advance, so that they were full and full. This was better .

But later on the ship became popular to tell ghost stories, but with the story of He Fang in the front, no matter how scary the following stories were, it seemed that they couldn't get past this story.

During the rest of the journey, almost everyone prayed every day not to encounter this Nine Dragons coffin-carrying coffin. I don't know if prayers worked, until they entered the gate of the Taixu Realm, their journey was very smooth, so calm Finished the journey from Xiaocang Realm to Taixu Realm.

The author has something to say: About why Fairy Xieyun didn’t go directly to Zhu Nanjie next door——↑

Because it is the boss, it has to send all the cranes home before it can return by itself.

It is really a difficult task for one Lu Chi to send all the cranes home.

Here we need to interview Ah Zhu: At that time, when you handed over the burden of the boss to it, did you not consider the problem of its recognition of the way?

Ah Zhu: Heroic, loyal, capable of fighting, and has a good relationship with other cranes, and it can't be seen that it is Lu Chi. Fairy Xieyun: Because I don't need to know the way at ordinary times!
