Chapter 188 Xingxiu Sea

Xingxiu Sea is adjacent to Zhaling Lake in the east. It has a long and narrow terrain. When the water of the long river reaches here, the river suddenly widens and the flow rate slows down due to the flat terrain. The flowing river water forms large swamps and numerous lakes here. In Xingxiu Sea, there are hundreds of lakes of different sizes and shapes. Looking from a high place, these lakes are shining in the sun, like stars twinkling in the night sky, and like peacocks spreading their tails. The name of Xingxiu Sea probably comes from this.

The spiritual officials of the Taoist sect are still searching the area near Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake, and have not taken into account the more distant Xingxiu Sea.

Among these hundreds of lakes, the largest one is about one acre in area. Suddenly, a "corpse" slowly floated to the surface of the water and drifted slowly with the waves.

After a while, the "corpse" actually opened his eyes and looked around in a daze.

The "corpse" is Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu remembered that he grabbed a piece of the wreckage of the flying boat during his fall, and then crashed into the ground with the wreckage of the flying boat.

Wasn't he dead?

Falling from such a high place, perhaps a celestial warrior could still survive, but it was impossible for a person below the celestial being to survive. This was not something that could be explained by his physique being far superior to that of people in the same realm.

Qi Xuansu slowly swam to the shore and checked his whole body again. It couldn't be said that he was in perfect condition, but he was about 70% of his usual good condition, which was really amazing.

He didn't understand what was going on. If he had a strong self-healing ability that was almost immortal, then why didn't he show any self-healing ability when Zhao Fuan broke his arm in Baidi City?

But if it wasn't his own fault, what else could it be? Could it be because of the lake water? This lake water was actually not ordinary lake water, but something like the Longevity Spring and the Immortal Spring in "The Female Sword Fairy"? Considering that "The Female Sword Fairy" was written by Madam Xuansheng, she had served as the Great Master Pingzhang and the Deputy Master Master. With her wide knowledge, it is possible that such a thing really exists in the world.

But it still doesn't make sense, because Qi Xuansu is very sure that he is still in Kunlun, which is not far from the Taoist ancestral temple. If there is such a good thing, the Taoists have discovered and protected it long ago. There must be various mechanical formations around, but there are obviously no formations here.

Just then, a cold wind blew, making the soaked Qi Xuansu feel a little cold.

Qi Xuansu came back to his senses, while circulating his true qi and blood to steam his clothes dry, he couldn't help but let his thoughts fly. Assuming that he has some kind of self-healing ability that is almost immortal, if he didn't fall into the lake, but was directly smashed into a pulp, I wonder if he can recover as before. If he can recover, will he maintain the inhuman pulp state, or change back to his original human form?

After about a quarter of an hour, Qi Xuansu began to check the objects on his body.

"Qingyuan" is still there, and "Shenlong Hand Gun" is still there. Although it has entered the water, it has little impact. Shenjiying considered the waterproof problem when designing the "Shenlong Hand Gun". The leather bag containing the bullets is still there, and the shoulder bag is still there, and the things inside are safe and sound.

Qi Xuansu touched the interlayer of his chest again. When his palm touched his chest, the whole person suddenly froze.

There was no heartbeat there, and it was dead silent.

What happened? Did he become a legendary zombie? But it was too fast, wasn't it? Even if the Taoist sect cultivated zombies with human power, it would take several years. If it was a naturally formed zombie, it would take hundreds of years. Could it be that hundreds of years have passed now, and the world has changed, and Zhang Yuelu and others have passed away?

However, Qi Xuansu quickly denied this idea. If hundreds of years had really passed, then his clothes and the things in his shoulder bag would not have changed much. Now it should still be 42 years.

Qi Xuansu pressed his chest and fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Xuansu felt a slight vibration in his chest again. This heartbeat was very weak at first, but after a while, it gradually became clearer and stronger, and finally it was no different from before.

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief and remembered something.

He was once stabbed in the heart by an assassin from the "Inn". It was Qi Niang who saved him and brought him back to the Qingping Society. The Qingping Society made some changes to him, which not only saved his life, but also made him stronger.

Now it seems that the Qingping Society's changes may not be that simple.

So Qi Xuansu made a bold guess that the Qingping Society's changes not only gave him a stronger body, but also saved his life, and also gave him a magical power of resurrection from the dead.

This kind of magic will not be triggered normally, which can explain why nothing happened after Zhao Fuan broke his arm in Baidi City. But if he suffered a fatal injury, this magic would be triggered, making him come back to life, which can explain why he was not thrown to death, and even the heart stopping just now is one of the external manifestations of this magic.

Qi Xuansu felt that this was the most reasonable explanation. He had to ask Qi Niang for the specific reason. Maybe Qi Niang could give him a clear explanation. After all, Qi Niang was the beginning of everything, and Qi Niang probably knew the inside story.

However, before contacting Qi Niang, Qi Xuansu had to find a safe place to stay.

Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts, stood up and looked around, and decided to leave this place first.

Although Qi Xuansu had just woken up, he also understood one thing. He could not return to the Taoist sect, nor could he be discovered by the people of the Taoist sect.

Otherwise he would not be able to explain his resurrection from the dead.

If he returns to Taoism now, Beichen Hall will come to him as soon as possible and conduct a comprehensive review of him. Then his past resume, Qingpinghui's transformation, "Xuanyu" matter, and Qingpinghui's fish talisman will all be unable to be hidden. Once his identity is exposed, it is not difficult to guess his fate. How will Zhang Yuelu view himself at that time? Do you feel like you lied to her and everything was just an act?

It would be better to really die. He was still one of the many victims, and he was still the Qi Xuansu remembered by Zhang Yuelu. Everything remained beautiful.

Of course, it is not that he will never be able to return to Taoism. After this matter is completely over, he will find a suitable opportunity and may be able to hide it from Beichen Hall. After all, it is difficult to explain things like chance and adventure. Although the matter of resurrection from the dead is not Many, but it does happen.

So Qi Xuansu carefully erased the traces of his stay by the lake, and then found a high ground, trying to hide his figure while overlooking the surrounding terrain.

He quickly recognized this place as the Xingxiu Sea between Kunlun Mountain Pass and Zhaling Lake. It was called the sea, but it was actually a basin with rivers and lakes all over it, and the scenery was excellent.

The beauty and characteristics of Xingxiu Sea also make it extremely easy to identify. When Qi Xuansu returned to Yujing with his master, he passed by this place and left a deep impression on him.

Qi Xuansu knew that Xingxiu Sea was located in the upper reaches of Zhaling Lake. When the flying boat crashed, it was probably located above Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake. The people in the Dao Sect should search and deal with the aftermath near Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake at this time. Speaking of other things, Feizhou's dragon ball must be found and brought back to the ancestral court, so he only needs to go upstream along the river to bypass the search area of ​​​​the Taoist people.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu no longer hesitated and immediately headed towards Xingxiu Overseas.

Xingxiu Sea is beautiful, but its location is a bit awkward. It is still quite far away from Yujing, so few people will come here from Yujing to enjoy the scenery. In the past, there would be spiritual officers from Kunlun Taoist House patrolling and passing by here, and they would even rest here for a while. However, with the tense situation within the Taoist sect and the large-scale shrinkage of Kunlun Taoist House, no patrolling spiritual officers would pass by here anymore. Therefore, the entire Xingxiu Sea was empty, with not a single person in sight, and it was very quiet and deserted.

Just like that, Qi Xuansu left Xingxiu Sea.

After leaving Xingxiu Sea, Qi Xuansu looked around and saw that it was really the vast Kunlun Western Region, boundless. He roughly identified the direction. Going east was Zhaling Lake, but this road was blocked. Going west is the Kunlun Pass, and this road is even more impassable. Walking south, over the mountains, you will reach Tongtian River and Yishan City. As for heading north, you will reach the vast Gobi Desert, also known as Salt Lake.

At first glance, it is undoubtedly better to go south. Firstly, the road is familiar, and secondly, it is densely populated.

However, Qi Xuansu still has another worry. The two times he encountered people from the Lingshan witchcraft were both near here. Tongtian River is only more than a thousand miles away from Zhaling Lake. The distance from Kunlun Mountain Pass to Tongtian River is even longer than that from Kunlun Mountain Pass to Zhaling Lake. The distance to Zhaling Lake is even shorter. If he encounters people from the Lingshan Witch Cult again, he is afraid that the disaster will be worse. After all, he has also killed members of the Lingshan Witch Cult. It is only Zhang Yuelu's greater fame that makes the Lingshan Witch Cult pay attention. Just because all the efforts were put on Zhang Yuelu, it didn't mean that Lingshan Witch Cult would let him go.

After Qi Xuansu thought for a while, he decided to go all the way north to the vast salt marsh, and then all the way east along the edge of the salt marsh to Xiping Mansion, the capital of Yongzhou.

After arriving at Xiping Mansion, everything was easy to say. It is said that in the land of Yongliang, you can go from Xiping Prefecture to Tianshui Prefecture, the capital of Liangzhou, or you can go eastward along Guan Road to Xijing Prefecture, the capital of Qinzhou. There will be contact points of Qingpinghui in these big mansions. Qi Xuansu is not a pedantic person. Although he wants to get rid of Qingpinghui, he does not mind taking advantage of the various conveniences of Qingpinghui before leaving Qingpinghui.

However, this will also be an extremely long journey, ranging from several months to half a year at most. After all, there is no flying boat, so we can only travel on foot. Fortunately, Qi Xuansu's many years of martial arts career have made him accustomed to this way of traveling on foot. Coupled with his current Yuxu stage cultivation and martial arts physique, it is not a difficult task.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu no longer hesitated and took steps towards the north. At the same time, he also paid attention to hiding his whereabouts and tried his best to choose small roads to avoid encountering people from the Taoist sect.
