"Oh, I'm not as open-minded as a young man like you."

Yang Lao laughed when he heard this, "But you will know when you live a long time. The longer you live, the more you fear death. Between life and death, there is great fear..."

Su Xiaofan didn't quite understand what Mr. Yang said. How old was he now? He didn't even find a Taoist companion. How could he consider the issue of life and death? So Su Xiaofan couldn't accept this.

"Huh? Why hasn't Brother Yang come back yet?"

Su Xiaofan changed the subject. In fact, he also felt that Yang Xiu's trip was a bit long. It was only thirty or fifty kilometers, and half an hour was enough.

But more than an hour had passed, and the bottle of vodka in Su Xiaofan's hand had bottomed out, but Yang Xiu had not yet appeared in his consciousness.

"Mr. Yang, will something happen?"

Looking at the dark sea in front of him, Su Xiaofan felt a sense of awe for the unknown.

Since the development of human beings, there are only two places that have not yet been conquered. One is the starry sky, and the other is the sea in front of us.

The depth of the Mariana Trench is more than 10,000 meters, and humans still don’t know what it looks like and what creatures live there.

"What can happen? The most I can do is take a bath in the sea. It won't freeze him to death."

Mr. Yang laughed and said, "Actually, I want you to experience it, but you are too cunning to be curious."

"Mr. Yang, have you experienced this before?" Su Xiaofan appropriately showed his curiosity.

"I have experienced it. I almost fell into the sea and took a bath."

Mr. Yang did not shy away from the things that made him embarrassed back then, and said: "Flying on the sea, especially at night, even cultivators in the late Yangshen stage would not dare to do it."

"So I'm not curious."

Su Xiaofan smiled like a thief, "The cultivators in the later stage of Yang Shen have to take the boat honestly, why should I be the first person..."

If it was a road that no one before had gone through, Su Xiaofan would be willing to try it. He was a very courageous person.

But it is obvious that predecessors have summed up the experience, but I want to do the opposite. That does not mean that I have courage, but that my brain and IQ are insufficient.

After waiting for more than an hour, the temperature of the sea surface became lower and lower. Su Xiaofan was at a height of thirty or forty meters above the sea surface, and he felt the cold wind blowing into his neck.

Even Su Xiaofan had to allocate some spiritual power to keep out the cold at this time, which shows how harsh the environment in the Arctic Circle is.

"Where did this brat go?"

It's not that Su Xiaofan is anxious now, but that Mr. Yang can't sit still. After all, Yang Xiu is the pride of the whole village, and he doesn't dare to let anything happen to his grandnephew.

Given Yang Xiu's level of cultivation, two or three hours is enough for him to run hundreds of kilometers, but there is no resting place on the sea. If the true energy in his body is exhausted, he will be in big trouble.

"Huh? I'm back." Su Xiaofan's expression suddenly changed, and he found that Yang Xiu's figure appeared within the scope of his consciousness.

However, Yang Xiu's condition at the moment was obviously not very good. His feet were already submerged in the sea water, and he was running on the sea with a mouthful of real energy.

This made Su Xiaofan a little stunned. It should be no problem for a cultivator in the realm of Yin Shen to travel a hundred and eighty miles in the void. Why did Yang Xiu end up in such misery?

Before Su Xiaofan could take a closer look, Mr. Yang's figure disappeared from the balcony.

After a while, Mr. Yang took Yang Xiu back to the boat. As soon as his feet stood firm, Yang Xiu couldn't help but sneeze twice in a row.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" Su Xiaofan was stunned.

Since starting to practice, Su Xiaofan has never covered himself with a quilt at night and has never been cold. He has never seen a practitioner suffer from a fever or cold.

"Don't mention it, Ah Zhi!"

Yang Xiu sneezed again, quickly grabbed his bottle of wine on the table, and drank it all in one breath.

"I'm going to change my clothes first and then we'll talk when I come out."

Yang Xiu's complexion turned a little pale, obviously due to the huge consumption of real energy in his body.

"Is this really a bath?"

Only then did Su Xiaofan notice that the down jacket that Yang Xiu was originally wearing was gone, and now he was actually wearing a pair of underwear.

"It's really miserable."

Seeing Yang Xiu go into his room to take a shower and change clothes, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but shook his head. He was already in his fifties, why were he still so curious?

After a while, Yang Xiu returned to the balcony, his face a little more rosy, and he had obviously recovered a little.

"Brother Yang, what's going on? Have you encountered an enemy?"

Su Xiaofan was not curious about crossing the Arctic Circle, but he was still curious about what happened to Yang Xiu. Su Xiaofan had already moved the small bench and was ready to eat.

"There are no enemies."

Yang Xiu said somewhat depressedly: "I...I'm lost..."

Facing his ancestor and Su Xiaofan, Yang Xiu didn't hide anything and told everything about what he had just experienced.

When he first jumped out of the sea, Yang Xiu didn't feel anything unusual, so he started to run into the depths of the sea.

Only after running a hundred miles did Yang Xiu realize that he could not find the direction to go back.

In all directions, all that came into view was sea water, and there was no scene for Yang Xiu to judge the direction. Moreover, he ran too far in one breath, and the lighthouse used for navigation in the port would no longer be visible.

In desperation, Yang Xiu could only find a place to go, but after escaping for dozens of kilometers, Yang Xiu found that he seemed to be running in the wrong direction.

At this time, Yang Xiu was like a headless fly, scurrying around in the vast sea.

He couldn't tell the direction of going back at all. After running for a while, he would turn around if he felt something was wrong. But the more he ran like this, the more chaotic he was, and in the end he was completely lost in the sea.

It would have been fine if he was simply lost, but Yang Xiu discovered that the deeper into the sea, the stronger the wind was.

It turned out that after Green Island, the strong wind on the sea was almost the same as the strong wind dozens of meters above the ground, which made Yang Xiu very hard to resist.

It was at this time that Yang Xiu felt that the true energy in his body was running low, and the vast sea seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

Of course, according to Yang Xiu, he got wet not because he fell into the sea, but because he was wet by a huge wave.

In desperation, Yang Xiu could only throw away the down jacket that was soaked in water and weighed dozens of kilograms, and looked for a direction to explore again.

Yang Xiu was lucky this time. After running for dozens of miles, he finally saw the lighthouse used for navigation in the distance. The moment he saw the light, Yang Xiu was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

"Do you know why we have to take the boat honestly?"

Elder Yang looked at his somewhat embarrassed grandnephew and felt quite satisfied. Cultivators who had never encountered any setbacks were, after all, flowers in the greenhouse and were not capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

"I understand, Grandpa, I thought it was simple."

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly. The experience just now no longer felt like he was trying. The vast sea seemed like he was the only one left in the world, which almost made Yang Xiu lose his mind.

"So when you are overseas, if there is a boat to ride on, don't run away by yourself."

Yang Lao was also blamed by Yang Xiu, but told the two of them his experience, "If there is no boat, just find a place to stay on the frozen sea. If you are lucky, you can meet the supplies for the Arctic scientific expedition in ten and a half months."

Boat."

"Mr. Yang, on the sea, dangers come from two places, one is the strong wind, and the other is the fear of getting lost?"

Su Xiaofan summarized two experiences from what Yang Xiu just said.

"That's right."

Mr. Yang nodded and said: "Relatively speaking, getting lost is more terrifying than Gang Feng..."

The sea is vast, and the Arctic Circle alone covers an area of ​​hundreds of millions of square kilometers.

It is impossible for cultivators to fly out of such a large area. If they get lost, even if they are Yang Shen cultivators, they will lose their skin even if they don't die. Yin Shen cultivators may not even be able to save their lives.

Moreover, there are some extreme environments in the Arctic Circle, with temperatures in some places even as low as minus 70 or 80 degrees Celsius.

In this low temperature, Yang Shen cultivators have to expend a lot of spiritual energy to resist the severe cold. If they fall deeply into it, Yang Shen cultivators are in danger of being damaged.

"So, don't think about those things that are available and not available. Wouldn't it be nice to take a comfortable boat ride?"

Yang Lao's words made Yang Xiu's face turn red and then turn white. Fortunately, the lesson was profound and he would not make the same mistake next time.
