It's the kind of way of attracting customers in the passenger station on the earth, where as soon as you get off the bus in the vast sea of people, a bunch of people immediately come up to ask if you want to stay.
"Yes." Su Anran nodded subconsciously.
"Hey, brother, are you going to the mouth of the sea?" The female cultivator asked again, "Where do you want to go? Beihai Sword Island? Or Beizhou? Is there any designated Beihai island? Our place Now there is a discounted package, only 98 condensing pills are needed to go to Beihai Jiandao. It will be more expensive in Beizhou, but if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the full capacity before starting, only [-] condensing pills, if If you want to leave immediately, it depends on the situation, the price ranges from [-] Qi Condensation Pills to [-] Qi Condensation Pills."
Obviously, this female nun is very proficient in this business, and she just opened her mouth and quoted a series of prices.
Hearing this, Su Anran became dizzy for a while.
The full name of the Beihai Islands is the Hundred Islands Group in the waters of Zhongzhou and Beizhou. It is only called the Beihai Islands for abbreviation.
Beihai Jiandao is the largest island in this group of islands. This island is also called Beihai Jiandao because Beihai Jianzong established a school here.Even because the reputation of Beihai Jiandao spread, Beihai Jianzong simply acquiesced in the statement of Beihai Jiandao later, and directly used it as the name.
There are more than one hundred islands in the entire island group of the Beihai Archipelago. These islands are large and small. Those as large as the Sword Island in the Beihai Sea do not know how vast they are. There are mountains, forests and lakes on the islands, and they look no worse than other places; The island can only accommodate three or five monks sitting on the ground, so it can barely be regarded as a foothold.
However, these islands can’t just look at the surface. Depending on the tide and ebb and flow of the sea area, some islands will be completely submerged during high tide, or their area will be greatly reduced; while some islands will only appear when the tide is low. Even certain islands are only fully revealed at low tide.
Therefore, the islands of the North Sea Archipelago can be roughly divided into four categories: unchanging islands, high tide islands, low tide islands and sunken islands.
Unchanging Island means that regardless of the ebb and flow of the tide, it will not have any impact, such as Beihai Jiandao.
Rising tide islands, as the name suggests, are islands that are affected by high tides.During the high tide period of this type of island, the area of the island will shrink, and the residents or creatures on the island will still be affected to some extent.It's just that because I have lived on it long enough, I generally know how to regulate it and avoid the losses and impacts caused by high tides as much as possible.
The low tide island is completely opposite to the high tide island.This type of island will only show its true appearance when the tide is low. The most famous of these is the North Sea Sword Test Island. There is an entrance to a small secret place on this island, but this entrance will only be revealed during low tide. , so whenever the low tide comes, Beihai Jiandao will send disciples to prepare for the corresponding trials.
As for the sunken island, it will only be fully revealed during the ebb tide, and it is the most special type of island in the North Sea archipelago.The most famous of these is the ruins of the Dragon Palace on Jiandao in the North Sea. The entrance of this ruins will only be revealed during the ebb tide.And whenever the ruins of the Dragon Palace appear in the world, it is also the busiest time in the entire North Sea Sword Island. Almost every major sect in the mysterious world will send disciples to seek opportunities, and even the Demon League can't sit still.
From this point of view, it can be seen that the ebb and flow of the North Sea Islands is not simple.
Because this ebb and flow cycle is not like the general natural phenomenon that takes the day as the cycle.
The research on this phenomenon in Xuanjie has not made much progress so far. The only thing that is certain is that the ebb and flow of the North Sea Islands is affected by the tidal fluctuations of the aura in the sea.Whenever there is sufficient aura in the sea area, the seawater will begin to ebb, and there will be a low tide period; and whenever the aura in the sea area is insufficient, there will be a high tide period, and all islands will be affected by this.
And this cycle is usually in units of years, ranging from a few years to more than ten years.
As for the Great Ebb Period, the Great Ebb will only occur when the aura is sufficient to trigger the aura tide, and the cycle usually ranges from several months to half a year.
But it is very strange that whether the entrances and exits of the secrets and ruins on the North Sea Islands are related to the strength of the aura in the sea area - the importance of the Dragon Palace ruins to attract so many people is beyond doubt, so there will naturally be powerful attempts Make the entrance of this ruin from uncontrollable to controllable.But it is a pity that once the ebb tide is over, the entrance to the ruins will be automatically closed, and even a powerful monk who has entered the sea of suffering cannot force it open.
When Su Anran was preparing to go to the North Sea Islands, she naturally did the corresponding homework to understand it, so she was no stranger to it.
What he didn't expect was that he would encounter this kind of soliciting behavior at the mouth of the sea, which was too awesome, and even made Su Anran feel a sense of space-time confusion for a moment.
"Is your act of soliciting customers the work of Bishop Huanggu of Taiyigu?"
"Brother is amazing, I know all of this." The female cultivator smiled, "If Master Huang hadn't given advice to the suzerain of Beihai Jiandao back then, how could we be where we are now? So it's true that our Ye family can be in the situation we are today. I have to thank Master Huang for his fantastic ideas back then."
Su Anran glanced around the teleportation formation, a large group of good-looking young girls Xiuxiu used all his body skills to constantly solicit customers, his heart was as calm as water.
I didn't know it when I didn't go out before, but now I have a rare chance to go out for a run...
Su Anran just wanted to go back and ask Huang Zi, what the hell did you transform the whole mysterious world into?
"Bro?"
"I want to go to Huangquan Island, how do I charge?"
"Hey, it's not cheap to take a private customized route." Su Anran felt that she seemed to see this female nun's eyes glowing, "The specific fee depends on whether I plan to take a one-way trip, or a round-trip two-way... one-way , we will be responsible for sending you there, and you will have to solve the situation by yourself, brother. The fee is 98 condensing pills; if there is a round trip, it is cheaper, [-] condensing pills, but When you come back, you can’t come back immediately, after the little brother sends out the signal, you have to wait for the people nearby to pick it up.”
Su Anran was speechless.
This kind of thing can go one-way and round-trip like an airplane, and he is too convinced.
And he hardly needs to doubt that the one who can use this kind of noun so proficiently is probably only Huang Zi who was crazy about it back then.If it wasn't for him not knowing where Huangquan Island was, Su Anran would have thought of setting off by herself, after all, it's not like he doesn't have a soul shuttle.
"You worship the Yellow Valley Master of Taiyi Valley so much, so if the disciples of Taiyi Valley want to buy tickets, is there any discount?"
"No." The female cultivator looked confident, "Small business, how can there be so many discounts."
Su Anran sighed, and silently took out three thousand Qi Condensation Pills: "One way, remember to give change."
The nun rolled her eyes.
Two Qi Condensing Pills still need to be considered!
Chapter 051 Buy Insurance?
Su Anran felt that Xuanjie was really about to be spoiled by Huang Zi.
At Ye's house, he actually experienced the VIP-level service of "one-way plane and private car transfer".
From the moment he paid, the female cultivator found someone to arrange a shuttle for him, and sent him directly to the sea.
But at the estuary, Su Anran's expression became much calmer.
I don't know if it is the Ye family or Beihai Jiandao. A huge flat land covering an extremely vast area has been cut out at the location of the sea estuary. There are more than a dozen high platforms built on it, four of which are relatively large-but at this time the four There were only two large spirit boats parked on the first high platform, and many people who seemed to be monks were busy around, while the other two were empty.
"That's the spirit boat flying to Beizhou." As if seeing Su Anran's curiosity, the "driver" in charge of driving the spirit shuttle explained with a smile, "The sky and sea in Xuanzhou are not so safe. It is not easy to find a safe channel. We are not famous and have such great strength that we can rampage in the sky above the mysterious world, so we can only take the safe channel that has been opened up."
Su Anran nodded and said nothing.
The first time he heard the words "exit to the sea", he already knew that the situation in the mysterious world was definitely not as safe as he imagined.
Otherwise, there would be no spirit boats with various combat abilities.
"The larger the scale of the spirit boat, the higher the chance of encountering danger, so it takes a long time for maintenance and preparation after each sailing." The driver continued, "But the larger the scale, the higher the protection that can be equipped on it. The more magic circles and attack circles there are, the safety is still guaranteed. It’s just because of this that it takes a lot of spirit stones to start every time, so it’s natural to have a full crew before setting sail.”
"How often does it usually set sail?" Su Anran asked curiously.
"About half a month to a month, I'm not sure." The driver introduced very dutifully, "But if you are in a hurry, you can take those small spiritual boats, and you can start immediately as long as you pay enough money. But The problem with small spirit boats is that their defenses are too weak, and once they encounter unexpected problems, it will be difficult to deal with them, and they will be in danger of being destroyed at any time."
When Su Anran took the spirit boat for the first time, it was the spirit boat of the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, so she didn't feel any danger at all.
At this time, after listening to the other party's words, I was shocked to realize how lucky I was.
"By the way, do you want to buy insurance?"
"Insurance!?" Su Anran was confused, "What is this?"
"It's a safety guarantee mechanism for accidental risks... That's what Tai Yigu said. Anyway, if you have an accident, the beneficiary you filled out will get a guarantee." The driver said with a smile, "It's just like you are going to Huangquan Island this time. This is a privately customized route, so you must take a small spiritual boat. Everyone knows the dangers in the sea area, so no one knows what will happen when you go out to sea, so Most monks will buy an insurance when they go to sea, after all, if something happens to them, they can protect future generations.”
Su Anran was speechless.
He knew that Huang Zi's move was really good, but he always had a problem that he didn't know how to vomit.
"Is it true that as long as there is an accident, you can definitely get compensation?"
"That's natural." The driver nodded, "But the policy has a limited number of years, and our insurance here is only one type of insurance. If something happens to you in other places, we won't compensate you here."
Su Anran nodded.
Obviously, there must have been some accidents in the insurance that Huang Zi worked out back then, which is why there is such a standardized system now.
"How about the age limit?"
"One time, 50 years, 100 years, [-] years." The driver said, "Depending on the customer's insurance amount and the number of years, if something happens, the amount of compensation you can eventually get is also different. But I have to make it clear Ah, our insurance amount is a one-time payment."
One-time payment is very in line with Xuanjie's method.
After all, it is not a peaceful era, who knows if a certain monk will disappear when he goes out to practice, so how to deal with this insurance policy?
Su Anran thought for a while, and said: "Then... let's have a one-off."
Regarding the insurance policy, he is more just a curiosity, and this thing cannot make a fortune.
"Okay." The driver smiled skillfully, and then began to help fill in the form, "Guest, what's your name?"
"Su Anran."
"It's a familiar name." The driver said with a smile, "You must be a famous person on the local list. When I hear your name, I feel like thunder. But for someone like me who has no skills Ordinary people, they work hard every day to survive. Up to now, they have no skills and have not made a name for themselves. I really envy you, a big man like you. You are either rich in money or extraordinary in status. You are really a handsome man and a beautiful woman with a strong cultivation. That’s not to mention, it’s all about this.”
The driver held out a thumbs up.
Su Anran was dumbfounded.
Should it be said that it is selling insurance?
This little mouth is sweet.
"By the way, who do you want to fill in as the beneficiary? If you unfortunately come into contact with irresistible accidental factors, who will we send your insurance amount to?"
"Taiyigu, Fang Qianwen." Su Anran said, "The beneficiary should write my elder sister."
"Crack-"
Sound like something breaking?
"What's wrong?" Su Anran turned her head and found that the driver's face had turned pale, and a certain jade slip that he originally used to record was crushed by him!
"You...no, no, you...Your Excellency..." The driver swallowed, and said hesitantly, "My lord, you are...that little junior from Taiyigu? God...natural disaster Su Anran? "
Su Anran's face turned as black as a casserole.
MMP's everything building!
Look what you've done!
"Don't listen to Wanshilou's nonsense." Su Anran snorted coldly, "What a natural disaster, that's slander! I must sue them for slander!"
"Yes, yes, what you said is right, my lord." The driver smiled apologetically, but the pale blood color was not right no matter how you looked at it.
But he quickly took out another jade slip, and started to record something frantically.
"what are you writing?"
"I will buy a 100-year insurance policy for myself." The driver said with a sad face, "This time I will be responsible for driving the little spirit boat to take you to Huangquan Island. My daughter is still young, but she is very talented, so I have to Give her more resources."
"..." Su Anran was speechless.
For the rest of the journey, the driver lost the desire to speak, and kept recording something with the jade slips.
From the fact that he sometimes smiled, sometimes with a mournful face, and sometimes with a happy expression, Su Anran guessed that this guy was probably writing a suicide note.
This made him even more angry.
Is Laozi really that scary?
Who did I provoke?
After Lingsuo went to a small spirit boat, the driver communicated with a person who seemed to be the manager of the spirit boat. Su Anran watched the other party look at her from time to time. Obviously, the communication between the two parties probably had nothing to do with her. Good words, so Su Anran didn't bother to listen.
After a while, after the driver handed over several jade slips with a serious face, and under the pitiful eyes of the logistics staff, Su Anran and the driver quickly boarded the spirit boat, and then quickly set off to Huangquan Island.
……
This is a very deserted ferry, and it has probably not been taken care of for a long time.
There was a dead silence in the air.
Two young men, a man and a woman, just stood on the edge of this dilapidated ferry, looking at the not-so-clear water.
"Is it here?" the young woman asked.
"If the old man is right." The young man said coldly, "It should be here."
"Then hurry up." The young woman said again, "I heard that Yang Fan is dead, and all the layout on the Tianluomen side has been uprooted."
"The higher-ups have investigated. He went to offend that natural disaster in Taiyigu by himself, and then used the backtracking talisman to go to the Ten Thousand Realms. He died in the Ten Thousand Realms. He was asking for trouble." Throwing the card into the sea, he said with a look of disdain, "If he hadn't been messing around, our assessment this time would have gone much smoother... It's just wishful thinking for a trash like him to want to enter the inner circle!"
"Sigh." The young woman sighed, "I always feel that things are not that simple. But I am not strong enough, so I can't calculate a more accurate answer."
"Don't think too much." The young man said, "This is just an assessment for us. It is impossible for the big shots above to arrange tasks that are too difficult or beyond our ability... …We just need to go into the Underworld and the Dead Sea, and then recover that thing, and the rest of the other things are none of our business.”
The sea water thrown into the wooden sign by the young man suddenly rolled over.
The sea water, which was not considered clear, suddenly turned yellow quickly, and the dead breath in the air became thicker, and there was even a strange sweet smell of blood.
A channel completely composed of yellow sea water extends from a mist to the ferry.
A sense of desolation rushed over.
"Who is the mysterious person you said was the one who took away the ancient sacred tree in the red building?"
"I don't know." The young man shook his head, "If someone hadn't stopped us, it would have been impossible for others to take away that piece of ancient sacred tree...Those damned practitioners spoil our good deeds all day long, why don't they Are you willing to obey the destiny? In this era, sooner or later we will shock the world!"
In the distance, there is a ferry boat coming slowly under the control of a ferryman.
The young man and the young woman each took out a Huangquan Ming coin.
"Hey, I always feel that the other party is not simple, because my fate and magic calculation can't calculate the other party at all, and it feels like the secret of heaven has been deceived."
"I said, don't think so much. After entering the Yellow Spring Dead Sea, we will go straight to the destination to recover the target, and then leave immediately." The young man said in a deep voice, "The danger inside is not something we can solve now, so The sooner you leave from Huangquan Dead Sea, the better."
"I see." The young woman nodded.
