Chapter 453 Small Island
Only after resting in the market for a day, Zhao Hai left with Shui Zhi the next day. The two of them did not fly directly, but stepped on an iron bowl that Zhao Hai took out. In fact, the iron bowl was just something Zhao Hai took out to deceive people. The iron bowl he used was as much as he wanted. The main reason why he took an iron bowl was to let people know that he was a monk because the iron bowl could be said to be the most commonly used magic weapon for monks, which could attack and defend, and had great uses.
Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi flew horizontally along the market. In fact, a large part of the chart they bought was not included, just like the part from the market to the coastline, which was the most common part of the sea area for monks to engage in, so it was not counted within the chart, but the chart still drew that part of the sea area and marked all the islands in that area.
In fact, in the eyes of the people of the Seventy-Two Islands of the South China Sea, only by passing through the market and in the large seas to the south can it be truly considered the South China Sea, while part of the sea near the coastline can only be considered the inland sea, not the real South China Sea.
Zhao Hai would not doubt the charts in the inner sea. People from the 72 islands in the South China Sea would make fakes. They would not be able to make fakes for that part of the charts, because there are too many people there, and almost all places have been explored. If you make fakes there, you will be discovered immediately.
Zhao Hai flew slowly forward, paying attention to his own chart while flying forward, and even ◎≠long◎≠wind◎≠text◎≠learning. c︽fwx space has calculated the chart in proportion, and then it can locate where Zhao Hai and the others are now, which islands are closest to them, and which places are relatively dangerous. These are already marked on the charts of the space.
Zhao Hai also released a lot of silver needles this time. However, those silver needles did not fly in the sky. Instead, they entered the sea directly. Zhao Hai not only wanted to figure out what was on the sea surface, but also what was in the sea.
Zhao Hai flew forward. He calculated that at his current speed, he could fly up all day. At night, he could reach a small island for rest. That island was also a good supply point, and there were even many monks who would run there to trade. It can be said that it was also a small market. However, because Lingcrab Island did not manage those, the market was relatively much more chaotic. Killing and robbing people often happened, and there were also many monks who were deceived there.
Don’t think that there are no people in the cultivation world who commit fraud. In fact, people’s bad habits are the same. There are many monks who make a living by making fraud. They will use low-level monster materials or other materials to make them look like high-level materials through counterfeiting, so that they can sell them at a good price.
There are not many things like this, so many monks will be deceived, especially some monks with no experience, who will be deceived. Therefore, small markets like this often represent chaos and disorder.
However, small markets like this have always existed. Many people like to go to small markets for transactions because there is no fee here. For those casual cultivators who regard every crystal as very important, it can save some transaction costs, and even if they travel a little more, it is cost-effective.
Zhao Hai’s goal tonight is where he wants to go to rest. Although Zhao Hai is flying in the sky for one day is nothing. In fact, when he flies in the sky, he doesn’t have to spend any effort, and Shui Zhi won’t betray him, he is still very careful because he wants to know what the situation is on the island.
Although this place is not a nearshore area, it is also an area where monks are active frequently. If there are any powerful monsters in such areas, they will probably have been cleaned up long ago. After all, powerful monsters also represent huge amounts of wealth. The things on them are all considered the best materials, but they are very valuable.
Even though he knew this, Zhao Hai still put all the terrain in the sea into his space because he wanted to make the most auspicious map of the South China Sea.
There was nothing wrong with this day. At night, Zhao Hai came to the island as he wished. However, when he arrived at the island, it became dark. What surprised Zhao Hai was that it was already very late, but the island was still very lively. The island could be described as brightly lit, and some lighting arrays could be seen everywhere, and the people were roaring, and they could be heard from a distance. The level of liveliness was beyond imagination.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything, and flew to the island directly. After arriving on the island, he put away the iron bowl and fell down directly. Their actions also attracted the attention of some people on the island. A few people came over immediately. Shui Zhi immediately became alert and walked in front of Zhao Hai, separated his hands, and looked at the people surrounding him with a bad eye.
As soon as the people around saw this, they stopped immediately. One of the monks looked at the two and said, "Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoists, we are not malicious. We are all businessmen on the island. We have just arrived on the island, and I don't know what can help you."
As soon as the man said this, Zhao Hai understood what he meant. He waved his hand, and then Buzhi retreated to Zhao Hai, but this made those people even more curious about Zhao Hai. They really wanted to know what Zhao Hai was, and why a monk was still in charge of a subordinate.
Zhao Hai clasped against the people and said, "Amitabha, I have met several donors. We just rushed to the island and just wanted to rest for a night on the island. We didn't have to worry about it."
"It turns out that the master wanted to rest on the island, but the master may not know the situation on the island. Although the environment on the island is good, there are no buildings. Although there are two stone houses, they have been occupied by others and opened a shop. If the master wants to rest on the island, in addition to building a floor shop, there is another one that is to rent a tent. If the master wants to rent a tent, we can also help."
When Zhao Hai was stunned when he heard them say this, he looked at the few people and said, "There are tents on this island? I really didn't expect it. What are the tents on this island that are not here to rent?"
The man heard Zhao Hai's response and knew that the business was coming. He immediately said, "Master, the tents on this island are different. If you want to rent a better tent, it will naturally be more expensive. If you want to rent a worse tent, it will naturally be cheaper. If the master wants to eat, we can also provide it, and it is guaranteed to be very cheap.
Zhao Hai looked at the man and smiled slightly, "I'm very curious about this. I want to know, a larger tent can sleep with the two of us. How many crystals are needed for a good dinner?"
"There are only ten second-class crystals. Only ten second-class crystal masters can live in the best tent on the island and have a good dinner. I wonder what the master wants?"
Zhao Hai thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Yes. Then you can lead us there. I want to see if the tent is worth the price."
When the man heard Zhao Hai say this, he was overjoyed and said, "Master, please follow me, I promise, you feel that you are worth the money." After that, he led Zhao Hai to the market.
This market is really temporary. You can see some people setting up street stalls everywhere here. Most of them are wearing a piece of cloth or animal skin on the ground, with some small things on it, some medicinal materials, some ores, and some fragments of magic tools.
Some people with tents are already considered shops when buying things in tents, and there are more things inside. The sound of buying and selling comes from time to time, which makes it very lively.
Zhao Hai looked at it and there were about 10,000 monks here, which really went beyond his intention. He really didn't expect that there would be so many people in such a small island or a temporary small market. Zhao Hai said to the monk who led him with some curiosity: "Fellow Taoist, is this place so lively every day? Or is it so lively occasionally?"
The monk immediately said, "Master, this is like this here every day. New people come every day, and people leave every day. Today is a small number of people. When there are the most people, there are much more than now. I remember the most. There are more than 30,000 people on the island. Everyone trades and communicates with each other, which is very lively."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that this place would be so lively. By the way, don't you want to join the sect? Why are they all here and not going to the sword spirit world?"
The monk who led the way paused when he heard Zhao Hai say this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course we want to join the sect, but this is not that easy. Now all the sects in the Sword Spirit Realm have no mountain gates to accept disciples. Even if we want to join, we can't join, so we can only make a living here."
Zhao Hai looked at the man and said, "No, I heard that Tanhai Sect has opened its mountain gate recently. The first batch of them were to collect some potential children, and the second batch of them would be to collect casual cultivators. As long as they are good-powered and innocent, they will have the opportunity to join Tanhai Sect."
The person who led the way stopped suddenly. He looked at Zhao Hai with surprise and said, "What the Master said is true? The Tanhai Sect is really going to recruit disciples? Yes, they have been established for several months, and it should be time to recruit disciples. Thank you for telling us this news. I wonder when the Tanhai Sect will start recruiting disciples?"
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "It seems that the recruitment has started now, but they will recruit for a while and have been recruiting it. If you want to go, you can go tomorrow. Just enter the territory of Tanhai Sect, find any branch of Tanhai Sect, and then register there. As long as you pass their test, you can become a disciple of Tanhai Sect."
The person who led the way bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Thank you, Master, the people on our small island are all casual cultivators. No one has any problems. We will go to the Tantai Alliance tomorrow to take a look."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "As long as you are not a disciple of other sects and have strong strength, you may join Tanhai Sect. Tanhai Sect will take in many disciples this time. Although they are all outer disciples and some tragic disciples, I heard that their treatment is very good."
The person who led the way said to Zhao Hai: "Thank you, Master, how did the master know this? Have you ever been to Tanhai Sect?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course I have been there. My Tiefo Temple has a good relationship with Tanhai Sect. Before entering the South China Sea, I made a special trip to visit Tanhai Sect. How can I not know?"
"The master is actually a person from the Iron Buddha Temple. I really didn't expect that. Please forgive me. Please rest assured. The news you brought is really very important to the people on the island. We have nothing good to thank the master. Tonight, Master, you have all your food and accommodation. You can also give Master a tent. This tent is made of the skin of an underwater monster in the South China Sea. It is waterproof and windproof. If you live in it, you can also feel breathable, but you can use it as a boat. It is a tent specialty of the South China Sea. Master, it is your first time to come to the South China Sea. You are not familiar with these. Almost everyone has this tent in the South China Sea. If you don't have this tent, you are usually new."
This made Zhao Hai stunned. Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "So, I'm not polite. If we want to rest earlier, please ask the donor to lead the way."
The person who led the way responded and led Zhao Hai forward faster. After a while, he arrived in front of a tent. The tent was very large, and it seemed that it would be no problem to live in ten people. The man led Zhao Hai and the others into the tent. When he entered the tent, Zhao Hai was stunned. He did not expect that the layout of the tent was really good. The ground of the tent was made of animal skins. The animal skin was very smooth and black. When it was stepped on it, it was like stepping on plastic, and it was very tough. It was really a good thing.
In addition to this kind of animal skin, there are also several other animal skins in the tent. These animal skins are common animal skins on land. They seem to be places for people to rest. The most rare thing is that there is a small table in this tent, some teacups and other things, and of course, an iron kettle, which is already a good thing in this tent.
However, there was a man in this tent. He looked in his forties, with a big beard, tall and strong muscles, and looked like a physical cultivation, and he had already had a few moments of heat.
The man who led the way followed the Taoist practice: "Lao Lu, come here, come here, I have seen this master of Iron Buddha Temple. The master just told me a message. I promised the master that we have packed the master's food and accommodation today, and this tent is also given to the master."
The monk named Lu was stunned when he heard the man leading the way say this, but he still clasped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "I have seen the master. Master, please rest here today. If you have any needs, please tell me."
Zhao Hai nodded and bowed to the man eleven times and said, "Amitabha, thank you for the donor." (To be continued...)
