Chapter 357: Guarding Ningfeng Island (4)

Not long after, sporadic insect swarms began to appear near Yunlan Island, which also marked the official arrival of a terrible insect scourge.

At this time, most immortal cultivators received orders from their respective sects to return to the sect to guard them; as for those casual cultivators, some went to the island to take refuge, while others were moved by high returns and were hired by some islands or sects to resist insect disasters together.

Even some mortals with great power learned about this news, either going to the big island to take refuge, or scattering all their wealth, and hired some immortal cultivators to guard the island.

Li Muran and others were nervously on Ningfeng Island. The monitoring array had been opened and the island protection array had been arranged. They could only wait for Li Muran and Elder Lin to open it with the order.

On Ningfeng Island, because the city lord ordered the port to be blocked for a period of time, the news was blocked, and it seemed calm.

At 3 o'clock one day, Li Muran and Elder Lin appeared in a tea shop in Ningfeng City again, lit a pot of tea to taste life.

Elder Lin said leisurely: "Although we are the most important Dharma phase, our life span is several times higher than that of ordinary people; however, we are busy practicing all day long, but we have almost no time to see the rolling mortal world. If we hadn't come to perform the mission this time, I'm afraid that both of us would not have such leisurely time to transform into mortals."

"Isn't that true?" Li Muran nodded and said, "It only takes a thought to be born in the world. I have been thinking about the past hundred years and have only been seeking immortality, but I have never thought about what pursuit will be after immortality. If the end of the failure and the day of transformation and the rest of my life is just a blind practice, I am afraid that it is not as real as these mortals."

"What? Junior Brother Li has moved the heart of a mortal heart?" Elder Lin said in a daze.

Li Muran smiled slightly and shook his head: "This is not. But I feel that my mood still has room for improvement. I am far from being able to understand this life and death, and the cycle of fate. After the great disaster, if I have the chance, I may have to escape into the secular world for a period of time, cleanse my mind, and be reborn."

Elder Lin said curiously: "Junior Brother Li wants to experience Huafan so early?"

Generally speaking, only the senior monks in the late stage of the True Body practice will be transformed into mortals, then washed away all the luster and ascend to the upper realm; there are very few examples of monks in the Dharma-Phase Period need to transform into mortals. Only a few scriptures record that in order to practice special skills, some monks also need to experience the process of transforming mortals in advance to achieve an excellent state of mind that transcends the world and sees through the world.

Li Muran nodded slightly, but did not explain the reason in detail.

Elder Lin was speculating, suddenly he heard several other guests in the tea shop talking loudly about natural disasters:

"The city lord has closed the port for some time because of the change of weather and the tsunami hurricane. However, these days, the sky has been clear. Not to mention the tsunami hurricane, even the small wind and small waves do you guess there will be another mystery in this?"

"No matter how he is, during the closure period, all taxes will be exempted; the fishermen were also hired by the city lords to repair ships and weave fishing nets, and they all have a job, so why bother going to sea?"

"What I said is that if there were any major disasters, the city lord's family must have fled. Since the Ning family is in the mansion, there must be no big problem, so why should we worry about it?"

"As for these days, people have seen spiritual lights flying by on the dangerous peaks on the island from time to time. From this, it seems that the immortal masters stationed on the island have been quite active recently. I wonder if it is related to it."

"It's strange that those immortal masters have a noble status and cannot live in the city's large mansions, but they all live in dangerous peaks and caves. Why? If I know magic, I must be a single official and half a position, and then I will be like a wife and concubine, and I will make countless money and live a leisurely life. Why should I hide in the mountains and practice hard?"

"Bah, based on your state of mind, even if you have a great immortal fate in front of you, I am afraid you will not be able to grasp it. In the end, it is still a mortal who can achieve the great way, and he must have seen through fame and fortune."

"The affairs of immortal cultivators are not something that you and me can guess, let alone those immortal masters have great supernatural powers. The gossips here may be heard clearly by the immortal masters thousands of miles away...

While everyone was talking, the sky suddenly became dimmed.

"It's noon, why is it going to dark so soon?" a man said angrily, then stretched his head out the window.

I saw a dark cloud floating from somewhere on the blue sky, which was originally clear and clear, blocking the sun, so the sky became much darker.

Many people discovered this and walked to the streets one after another, looking up at the dark clouds.

"This dark cloud is so strange. I'm afraid there is a hurricane and tsunami that really broke out." The shopkeeper of the tea shop said to himself. He turned around and wanted to add tea to the guests, but found that Li Muran and the others who were originally sitting in the corner had left at some point and disappeared; there was only a piece of silver on the tea table.

"It's like this every time, without a trace, they are really two weird guys." The shopkeeper murmured after looking around, not seeing any of the two figures.

The dark clouds in the sky are getting closer and closer, and the sky is getting darker, as if night is coming; such a strange change has made everyone on the island walk out of the house and look at the sky curiously.

"Is there a solar eclipse or a storm coming soon?" Everyone was surprised and most people tend to doubt these two situations.

Gradually, the dark clouds were getting lower and lower, as if they were about to press directly onto the island. The sunlight under the dark clouds was completely blocked, and it was pitch black. All households hurriedly lit lanterns and candles.

When the dark clouds were about to approach the island, everyone heard a dense "buzzing" sound.

The sound was weak at first, but as the dark clouds approached, the sound became louder and louder, and finally overshadowed any other sound around it, with only a loud buzzing sound, extremely harsh.

"Ah, there are so many bugs." People standing at a higher place have discovered that the dark clouds above their heads that covered the sky and the sun turned out to be tiny flying insects, but because they are extremely large in number and extremely high in density, they look like a huge dark cloud.

And the deafening "buzzing" sound was the sound of the wings of these flying insects shaking.

"How come there are so many bugs?"

"What's going on?"

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't know how terrible the danger was.
