The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After Matthew sat down, he clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I don't know the names of these three distinguished people."

"He Ping." The female cultivator took the lead in announcing her name.

"Qian Yangrong." The middle-aged man then said.

"I'm Niu Tian." The other man, a rather sturdy man, introduced himself with a simple smile.

Matthew clasped his fists and said directly: "I just came out of seclusion and found that there were many more monks in Xiaoyu City. Do you dare to ask the three of you if you know what happened here?"

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Li really doesn't know what happened recently, so Qian will explain it to you." After taking a deep look at Matthew and confirming that the doubts on his face were not fake, Qian Yangrong said with a slight smile. .

"About five years ago, around this time, Black Turtle Island suddenly announced that it would hold a large-scale trade fair in advance. At that time, it was a year or two before the trade fair was held. Because of the sudden news, many people were not prepared. Even so, There were still many people rushing to Black Turtle Island. But on the second day of the trade fair, a large group of strange monks suddenly appeared. These people were all dressed in uniform black robes, and their heads were also covered by black cloaks. "

"I don't know what method those guys used to quietly set up a large magic circle on Black Turtle Island. The monks who went to participate in the trade fair suffered because of this."

When Qian Yangrong paused, He Ping continued: "At that time, the three of us were near Black Turtle Island, and happened to witness all this happening. That monster holding the sky was really terrifying, and every time I still can’t calm down even thinking about it.”

When he said this, He Ping's face showed a look of fear unconsciously.

"Yeah, I heard later that the island owner at that time, knowing that he had no way to save himself, took the initiative to activate all the restrictions on the island, and forced Black Turtle Island and the monster to sink into the deep sea." Qian Yangrong After nodding, he continued.

Matthew had also experienced the things they were talking about, but he didn't say anything and just thought it was the first time he heard it.

"Everyone thought that the incident sank into the deep sea with Black Turtle Island, but they never thought that a few months later, the same thing happened to another island larger than Black Turtle Island..."

As the three of them narrated each other's words alternately, Matthew finally knew what had happened in the Sea of ​​Prisoners during the five years he had been in seclusion.

"It turns out that so many monks came here to take refuge." After listening to the story, Matthew nodded silently.

"Yes, now everyone chooses those remote islands, and no one dares to stay on the big islands anymore." Niu Tianye, who rarely spoke, said.

After Niu Tian finished speaking, the four of them fell silent.

"Now that Fellow Daoist Li knows the situation in the Prisoner's Sea, what are your next plans?" He Ping suddenly asked curiously.

"Li originally planned to go to other big islands to purchase some items, but now it seems he has to make other plans." Matthew shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

He didn't mean to deceive him at all.

If someone hadn't disturbed him, he might have continued to retreat.

His cultivation was not far from Dzogchen, and his original plan was to look for items to assist in forming pills after leaving seclusion.

"Is Fellow Daoist Li interested in going to the outer sea with us?" Qian Yangrong first went to Niutian and exchanged glances with He Ping, and then asked slowly.

"The outer sea...isn't that the world of monsters? Isn't it very dangerous to go there?" Matthew asked, somewhat confused.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Li really knows nothing about the outside world." Seeing Matthew's confusion, Qian Yangrong laughed.

Not only him, but also Niu Tian and He Ping were obviously relieved.

"Please explain clearly." Matthew cupped his fists and said.

"The outer sea is indeed dangerous, but there are many monks living there. The world only knows that there are many prosperous large islands in the inland sea. In fact, there are also many in the outer sea. Before those things happened, the monks who were used to living in the inland sea were Those who don’t want to go to the open sea, after all, it’s too dangerous there. But the current situation is that dangers appear everywhere in the inland sea at any time, which leads many people to prefer to go to the open sea.”

"Yes, as far as we know, many people have already gone to the outer sea shortly after the incident. However, the teleportation arrays that can be teleported to the outer sea are all controlled by Tu Shen Shen. In order to prevent the inner sea monks from losing too much, they are Directly closed the teleportation array." He Ping continued.

"However, we know another way to get to the open sea. Didn't Fellow Taoist say before why so many monks come to this island? In addition to those who want to live here for a long time, there are also some people who are waiting for the ship to take them away! "Qian Yangrong's words made Matthew's eyes light up.

"Is there a ship that can go directly to the open sea!" Matthew asked softly.

"There used to be very few, but now there are a lot more. Each ship charges per person. If fellow Taoist is willing, we can save some spiritual stones." Qian Yangrong said with a smile.

At this point, Matthew finally understood that the three of them had told him so much, and it turned out that they wanted to share the cost.
