Chapter 186, Dragon Pearl Island (3)
Shen Jiayun and Duan Wutian came over to talk to Qingshi. They were both extremely excited to see Qingshi again after a long absence, but they ignored Xiang An and left him alone.
Qingshi soon learned about Duan and Shen's experiences. It turned out that towards the end of last year, Qin Yuantai, the general manager of the Internal Guard Mansion, sent an errand to the first-class guard Xiang An, the second-class guard Duan Wutian and the third-class guard Shen Jiayun to go to the East China Sea State on official business. The specific contents were unknown to Duan and Shen. Just follow Xiang An's command.
So, Xiang An took them to Guo Zheng of the East China Sea first, and soon took them to the wealthy island. After arriving on the island, Xiang An unexpectedly restrained the meridians of Duan Shen and others, and then searched all their belongings. Of the spiritual weapons and magic weapons, only a storage ring containing a few weapons and a little food was left behind.
Xiang An said that he was going to perform a mission. If he succeeded, he would naturally come and let them go. The two of them were chips to prevent the mission from failing.
Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun have been imprisoned for several months and have been thinking of ways to leave. However, on the vast sea, they have no means of transportation, so how can they possibly leave.
Later, Shen Jiayun said that he could find a way to destroy the hiding formation on the island, so that someone might discover the island. If someone came to check, they might have a chance to leave.
The two of them tried their best to destroy the magic circle, but they had no idea how to do it. Until half a month ago, Shen Jiayun accidentally found a flaw in the magic circle. It was an energy source device on the seaside that was exposed after a formation aged for a long time.
Duan Chen and his two men discovered that place and wreaked havoc on it. They destroyed it every day when they had nothing to do. A few days ago, they finally made the entire hiding array no longer stable.
Yesterday, these natives came to the island. Duan Shen and his two men stepped forward to greet them. Their original intention was to ask for help from these natives. However, they were attacked for no reason and chased endlessly by them. If Qingshi hadn't arrived, I'm afraid Duan Chen and his wife would have been killed. He will be captured or killed soon.
The three of them talked for a long time, and Qingshi also roughly explained the situation of Xiang An coming to kill him. Both of them were furious and wanted to beat Xiang An again. Xiang An fled in embarrassment while shouting: "Brother Qingshi , you promised me not to kill me if they are safe! Don't let them chase you."
"I won't kill you!" Qingshi said lightly, "I also promise that they won't beat you to death!"
"Hey!" Xiang An could only shout to Duan Shen and the other two, "Don't think I'm afraid of you. I'll fight back again!" In fact, he hasn't fully recovered yet, and Duan Wutian alone can't beat him.
"If you dare to hit them both, I will hit you!" Qingshi still said calmly.
"Is this interesting to you?" Xiang An shouted, "The so-called gentleman is always silent... Oops!"
Xiang An's martial arts cultivation level was originally much higher than Duan Shen's. He suffered from the fact that his true energy had not been restored and he did not dare to fight back. He was soon forced into a corner. Little did he know that Shen Jiayun was here who had spent several months making arrangements specifically for him. Xiang An stepped into a trap, and immediately became stiff and unable to move. Duan Wutian rushed up and punched him, and finally threw him out of the trap. Shen Jiayun rushed up and punched him in the face... ....
"Alas!" Xiang An sat on the ground, wiping his nosebleeds, and sighed, "Thank you so much, brothers Duan and Xiaoshen. I am so happy because of the pain on my body! You beat me up like this, and I feel less guilty in my heart." A lot. Not only did you not beat me to death, you actually didn't even break a single bone, oh, except for the nose, but only this one part, which shows that the two brothers still have feelings for me! By the way, you guys Why the hell do you like to hit people in the nose?..."
Qingshi, Duan Wutian, and Shen Jiayun looked at Xiang An's bloated pig head and rotten nose, and couldn't help laughing together. Qingshi took out a few healing pills and threw them to Xiang An, and then gave Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun the storage artifacts collected from Xiang An, so that they could get their belongings back.
Shen Jiayun asked: "Brother Qingshi, why does this bastard Xiang An want to kill you? Someone must have instigated him, right?"
Duan Wutian said; "I guess they are the remnants of the Jiang family, right?"
Qingshi shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this problem for now. Let's think about what to do next. Hey, Xiang Daxiong, what do you plan to do in the future?"
"Did I have the final say?" Xiang An said angrily, "Anyway, it's all in your hands. It's not you who has the final say on what to do."
Qingshi smiled slightly and said: "I originally wanted to leave you on this island and let you make your own way, but now that the island is going to be returned to the Tanlong Clan, I really don't know what to do with you."
"Then why are you forcing me to return the island to them?" Xiang An asked.
"Brother Xiang, you shouldn't blame me for this," Qingshi said, "The island has been exposed, is it possible for you to save it?"
"Ah!" Xiang An was stunned and sighed, "That's true."
"How about we find an isolated island and put you on it to be the island owner." Qingshi said with a smile.
"Alas!" Xiang An sighed and said sincerely, "Brother Qingshi, I'm sorry for you! But I really have no choice! Can't you really forgive me? Are you going to let me die alone on a deserted island in the sea?"
"Okay! I forgive you." Qingshi said lightly, "You decide for yourself. I just asked you what your plans are in the future. You asked me to say it, but you disagreed after I said it!"
"Really?" Xiang An asked in shock, "Are you really planning to let me go and not pursue further investigation?"
"Don't pretend to be so surprised, okay?" Qingshi said, "You already knew I wouldn't kill you, right? After all, you are just someone else's tool, and I think you really don't want to. You have to take on this thankless job, but you can't help it. In fact, you are quite pitiful."
Xiang An put away the cynicism on his face and said nothing for a long time.
For a moment, all four people fell silent.
After a while, Qingshi said: "Brother Xiang, since you don't want to talk about your future plans now, how about we talk about Longquan and Longzhu?"
"Hehe!" Xiang An said with a smile, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you! Anyway, this island can't be saved anyway, so I might as well tell the secret. We still have three days, maybe we can really find the dragon ball."
Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun also became interested and came over together. Duan Wutian touched his bald head and said, "What is a dragon ball? Is it a treasure that can become an immortal after eating it?"
"Ignorance!" Xiang An said with disdain, "The dragon beads are actually spiritual crystals!"
"The best spiritual stone?" Duan Wutian rubbed his hands and smiled: "What a good thing! Where is it? Let's do it quickly."
"It shouldn't be the best spiritual stone," Xiang An shook his head and said, "I think it should be more precious than the best spiritual stone."
"Brother Qingshi must know!" Shen Jiayun looked at Qingshi with admiration.
Qingshi really knows, and apart from Qingshi, there are probably not many people in the world who know.
"Dragon beads are spiritual crystals," Qingshi said, "but spiritual crystals are not top-grade spiritual stones. Spirit crystals are purer, have huge energy storage, and have more magical uses than top-grade spiritual stones. Compared with top-grade spiritual stones, they are just It seems that the difference between low-grade spiritual stones and high-grade spiritual stones is countless times."
hiss......
The other three people involuntarily took in a breath of cold air.
Qingshi continued: "Spiritual crystals are only produced at sea, and the quantity is very small. It has been difficult to see spiritual crystals on the mainland for thousands of years, so the best spiritual stones are slowly called spiritual crystals."
Qingshi knew that the spiritual crystals were also learned from Yunlu. The spiritual crystals in Yunlu were piled up like a hill, but if Qingshi wanted it, he would have to exchange it for earth-level rewards, so Qingshi would not choose it.
Chunniang and the others gave Qingshi tens of thousands of top-quality spiritual stones, but there was not a single spiritual crystal. But in fact there were one hundred and eight bluestones, because the energy source used in his prize, the Hunyuan Formation Flag, was the spiritual crystal. Crystal, each formation flag is embedded with a spiritual crystal.
"Is there really a Hidden Dragon Spring on this island?" Shen Jiayun asked, "Is there really a spiritual crystal in the spring?"
"Actually, I'm not very clear," Xiang An said. "The reason why I was able to get this island and know some of its secrets was also a coincidence. During the previous dynasty, this island was only responsible for keeping an eye on the intelligence of the countries in the Seven Evil Sea. By the way, I secretly sent people to various maritime countries to get some seafood resources. I was sent on official duty for three years, which is also a qualification for me to be promoted to a second-class guard."
"Later I got promoted and helped First Class Guard Lao Huang manage the island. Once I was bored and looked through the ancient files and accidentally discovered that this island was first captured because it could produce dragon balls."
"After Longzhu Island was captured by the Jiang family, it was renamed Fujia Island in order to hide it from others. The island underwent large-scale renovations, which cost an astonishing amount of money. Just making it invisible took a lot of manpower and material resources. This shows how precious the Dragon Balls are."
"However, the Jiang family spent a long time unable to find the dragon ball. In the end, they captured the indigenous clan leaders and elders of Tanlong Islands and tortured them. The biggest gain was just a clue that the dragon ball was produced in Longquan. Within. But this island is so big, there are only two springs in total, and they are from the same source. There is no dragon spring that can produce dragon beads. "
"Later, the Jiang family gradually gave up and believed that the Dragon Ball was just a myth and legend of the indigenous barbarians. Gradually, the status of the island was reduced. Before the Jiang family's demise, there were generally only five permanent officers and three soldiers. The rotation changes every year, and no one knows about the legend of Dragon Ball."
"I accidentally discovered that Fujia Island turned out to be a Dragon Pearl Island, and that it might contain the secret of Dragon Balls. So while the Jiang family was destroyed, I destroyed all the information about the island, and then turned it into my private property."
"It's a pity that I only came once after that, and stayed for less than a month, and I didn't find any clues about the Dragon Balls at all. However, what Wall said today does match up with the ancient scroll records."
"Not bad!" Qingshi said, "And you just ignored a question. The ancient scroll you read said Longquan, so you kept talking about Longquan, but I remember clearly that the elder Wall just said 'Hidden Dragon Spring' '."
"It's just a different name. In fact, it should be..." Xiang An suddenly stopped mid-sentence and turned to look at Qingshi, "Are you saying there is a mystery to this hidden word?"
"Yes!" Qingshi said, "This spring is hidden, so Mr. Jiang can't find it no matter how hard he looks for it. If we want this opportunity, we must guess the specific meaning of the word 'hidden'."
"Maybe it's just a legend. Is there really a Dragon Ball?" Duan Wutian touched his bald head and said, "The Jiang family has controlled this island for so long and they can't find it. I think there probably isn't one!"
"I think it's possible," Shen Jiayun said. "The magic circle on this island is so huge. If it's just to spy on some less important information and collect some seafood, there's no need for such a large effort."
Shen Jiayun is also an array master, and his views are similar to those of Qingshi Xiang An. Judging from the size of the array on the island, there is probably a big secret on this island.
"Then how to find it?" Duan Wutian said, "Jiang has been searching for thousands of years and still can't find it. We only have three days, can we do it?"
"Guessing the secret is the same as practicing and enlightening," Qingshi said. "What is needed is sudden enlightenment. For example, the four of us here have been cultivating for twenty or thirty years before entering the Yuan Dan realm, but most monks in this world have been cultivating for a lifetime. It can't form a pill either. So, time has never been a problem. As long as the method is correct, three days is enough to find the treasure. If the method is wrong, another thousand years of searching will be in vain."
"Not bad, not bad!" Xiang An smiled, "I have two ideas."
"Okay!" Duan Wutian said, "Tell me and listen."
"The first thing is that we think about it together and see if it is possible to guess the location of Hidden Dragon Spring." Xiang An said, "The second thing is that if we really can't find it, we can just take advantage of these barbarians to take over the island. At that time, I caught them off guard and captured the clan leader and elders for torture."
"What a great idea!" Duan Wutian shouted.
"What a fart!" Qingshi scolded, "We have already killed hundreds of them, and now that we have promised to return the island, we are going back on our word and secretly attack them. Is this something human beings do?"
Duan Wutian rubbed his head in embarrassment.
Xiang An muttered: "Do you think these barbarians are so innocent and kind? They won't really believe us. I think they must have left people to monitor us. I'm afraid there will be thousands of troops in three days. Let's be honest It’s a good thing that we returned the island, otherwise why don’t we chop us into pieces? I heard that this old guy Annaba is not simple, and his cultivation is said to be at the peak of the elixir realm.”
"Since we agreed to return the island," Qingshi said, "we should abide by our promise. If we don't return it, others will naturally take it away. Isn't this normal?"
"I can't trust them," Xiang An said. "That Wall seems to be respectful, but in fact he is stalling for time. He wants to wait for the old Annaba thief to come. By then, I am afraid that I will return the island to them. It may not necessarily end well.”
"I don't fully believe them," Qingshi said. "My original intention was to run away before they came. We only have four people and two boats. We can't defeat them if we fight hard."
"So I said we should set up an ambush to catch them off guard." Xiang An said.
"No!" Qingshi said resolutely, "We can't take the initiative to attack them. They have a large number of people, and they also have experts. Even if we ambush, we may not be able to win. Besides, they will probably be prepared, and they are not so easy to ambush. "
"Yes!" Shen Jiayun said, "I think Brother Qingshi is right. I think it's best for us to find the Hidden Dragon Spring as soon as possible and run away after taking the dragon beads."
"That's right! It's best to find the treasure quickly and run away." Qingshi patted Shen Jiayun's head and smiled, "If we can't find it, we'll run away, and then sneak back quietly to see how they hunt for the treasure... ....”
"Ah!" Xiang An looked at Qingshi in surprise, and it took him a long time to react. He muttered in a low voice, "I thought you were a saint, but I didn't expect..."
"What did you say?"
"I said high! It's really high!"
