Chapter 179: Crossing the Boundary Mountain
Under the pitch-black night, a huge and dark mountain stood silently between the sea and the sky.
This mountain was steep and rugged, with a nearly vertical body, and its surface was covered with fine holes and no vegetation. It was the most common reef on the sea.
But this "reef" was surprisingly large, covering an area of dozens of miles.
It was like a giant standing on the blue waves of the South China Sea.
And under this huge and dark bare "reef", there was a huge cave in the east, west, south and north leading to the belly of the mountain.
The surging water waves hit the mountain walls on both sides of the cave, making a crisp sound of water splashing.
The boat with a firefly light on the bow traveled through this huge waterway and slowly entered this huge dark mountain belly.
The water cave was not gloomy. Because there were bright stars above the cave, emitting soft starlight, illuminating the long waterway.
The little girl with a pair of fox ears looked up and looked at the bright stars in the cave above her head curiously.
Behind her, the woman named Madam Qingzhu glanced at her and smiled softly.
"Don't look at it for too long, be careful that the stars will like you and won't let you go."
The little fox was a little confused by Madam Qingzhu's doting smile.
Her two erected fox ears trembled slightly, and she became more curious.
"Godmother, what are these stars? Why do they seem to be moving all the time?"
Madam Qingzhu looked at the curious look of the little fox, hesitated for a while, and finally patted her head with a smile and said.
"Those are not real stars, but the eyes of the giant snakes in the South China Sea. They are the guardians of the Fanjie Mountain and Waterway. They lie on the waterway all year round to monitor the movements of the ships coming and going. They are amazing."
"A little monster like you with low cultivation is probably not enough to fill their teeth."
Madam Qingzhu said the terrible words with a smile, which scared the little fox.
"Ah? The giant snake of the South China Sea?"
She stared at the bright "stars" above her head with wide eyes, and couldn't imagine that behind those beautiful stars were ferocious giant snakes.
She shrank back to her godmother in fear, and lowered her head and dared not look anymore.
Mrs. Qingzhu looked at the cute and frightened look of the little fox, smiled and touched her hair, and said.
"Don't be afraid, your godmother is here. What's more, as long as you don't make trouble in Fanjie Mountain, these giant snakes will not hurt you."
As she spoke, the small wooden boat sailed out of the waterway.
What appeared in front of them was a huge water gate checkpoint.
Looking beyond the pass, you can see the bright lights behind. It is not located on a horizontal plane like an ordinary city, but is densely covered with dark caves.
——The interior of this huge Fanjie Mountain is completely hollow.
On the rugged and steep rock wall, there are houses of different styles, all hanging on the rock wall, and it seems that they may fall down at any time.
The lights from the windows of those houses illuminate the rock wall densely, like an alternative starry sky.
The vision of monsters is very far, and the little fox can clearly see the passages and piers between the houses on the rock wall.
The cold night wind blows from behind the pass, blowing the clothes of the mother and daughter on the boat.
At the same time, the figure of the mermaid tribe appeared at the water gate.
"Who is it?"
The leading mermaid was wearing scale armor and was serious. "Is there something important to break through the pass late at night?"
Above the pass, a soft but bright beam of light fell on the water, reflecting the mother and daughter on the boat.
In the strong light, Madam Qingzhu smiled slightly, waved her sleeves directly, and threw out a page of documents.
"There is a pass, please take a look, General."
Under the gaze of many mermaids at the pass, the page of documents fell lightly into the hands of the mermaid general.
After reading it carefully twice, the mermaid general nodded and said.
"It turns out that you are the friend of the Great Sage Fufeng, who came to the boundary mountain to find Miss Wu for treatment... Let you pass!"
After signaling his subordinates to open the door, the mermaid general said to the boat below.
"Miss Wu is in the Nuanxiang Pavilion now, and the two demon friends can go directly."
While the mermaid general was speaking, the iron gate of the water card had slowly risen.
Mrs. Qingzhu smiled and bowed to the mermaid general above, thanked him, and then drove the boat into the pass.
Behind them, the group of startled mermaids all curiously watched the two demon cultivators leave.
On the boat, the little fox shrank in the arms of his godmother with some fear, and was a little scared by those curious eyes.
Madam Qingzhu smiled calmly and serenely, and quickly sailed the boat out of the range of the pass and entered the port area of Fanjie City.
On the pass, General Jiaoren watched the boat leave. He asked only when the boat had completely sailed out of the range of the pass.
"Did the evil-detecting mirror react?"
The deputy replied, "General, the evil-detecting mirror did not react. These two demon friends are not demons."
General Jiaoren nodded, but his eyes did not move away, always staying on the boat that was getting farther and farther away in the distance.
His brows were slightly locked.
Although the evil-detecting mirror did not react, he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart. The chuckling woman in green, although she was a friend of the Great Sage Fufeng, gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Notify the city and let them pay a little attention to this Madam Su."
The order of the merman general was concise and clear, but he did not say why he had to do this.
However, as a long-term partner, the deputy general still understood the general's worries, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the boat disappeared. After hesitating for a few breaths, he finally whispered.
"No need... General, that is the friend of Fufeng Dasheng. With Fufeng Dasheng as a guarantor and the evil-detecting mirror not reacting, I don't think it will be a demon."
"If we act rashly and offend her... In the past few hundred years, this Madam Su is the first female demon cultivator who can make Fufeng Dasheng save face."
The deputy general's worries are normal.
After all, although Fufeng Dasheng and the Mermaid Kingdom are on good terms, his violent temper is also famous in the South China Sea. If he offends the demon saint because of this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the higher-ups...
The merman general thought about it, and couldn't help but sighed, saying.
"Okay, just tell the city lord that an old friend of the Great Sage Fufeng has entered the city."
After saying that, the merman general paused and added, "Also tell the city lord that when this Madam Su entered the pass, the evil-detecting mirror did not react."
The merman general specially added a nonsense sentence.
The deputy general was surprised for a moment, but this sentence was not out of the ordinary, so he nodded to show that he understood.
"As you command! I will send someone to inform the city lord right away."
