The sudden change immediately caused chaos under the bamboo canopy.
Over there, the two heroes of Mount Tai and the man in black were already having a "ping-ping-pong" fight. On this side, the four tiger-headed men were held down by swords. Only the old man with the goatee resisted a few times, but was hit by Du Bu's punch. Facing the door, he fell to the ground on his back.
Not only that, other tables also started fighting. Although some tables were crowded, they only had one Hero Token. They took this opportunity to attack the tables with fewer people, intending to seize the opponent's Hero Token, and many people went to the Hero Island.
Hero Island gives a large sum of gold and silver to the people who come to the island. Obtaining the Hero Order is equivalent to receiving this money.
Lu Lin didn't say anything, even the Jianghu people who were usually chivalrous and righteous had no burden for this kind of competition. This was a battle between Jianghu and the capable ones, and it had nothing to do with good or evil chivalry.
The door of the restaurant, which was originally lively and bustling, like a gathering of heroes, was filled with swords and swords in just a short moment, and murderous intent surged into the sky.
After Bai Ao took out a Hero Token from the goatee old man, he couldn't help but cursed: "With the abilities of a three-legged cat, why do you want to go to the Hero Island?"
Wu Song and others had no harvest. The four people at the table only had one Hero Token. Du Bo immediately said fiercely: "Go over there and grab a few more!"
After saying that, everyone rushed to other drinking tables, and a mass killing ensued.
A man walked out of the blue brick and white stone building of the restaurant at the rear. He was dressed as a famous accountant. He was holding an iron abacus and looking teasingly at the scene under the bamboo canopy. While looking at it, he shook his head and said, "What's there to argue about? I don't have the ability to hand over the order." The card is, if you fight and kill, won’t you risk your own life?”
Zhao Tong sat at the table and continued to drink. He glanced sideways at the accountant and was convinced that this person must be a remnant of the Ming Cult.
At this time, the tiger-headed man saw Bai Ao and others running to fight for other tables. He no longer forced himself and others to fight with swords. He hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and looked around with his eyes.
The four of them indeed only had one token, and now it had been taken away. The old man with the goatee was unconscious, and the remaining three of them were a little panicked.
They are sworn friends and are known as the Four Wonders of the South of the Yangtze River. They are both righteous and chivalrous people. By chance, they received the Hero Order. They thought they could go to the island to receive a sum of gold and silver as a gift to alleviate the pain of living in poverty, but unexpectedly it was easily taken away.
Although the three of them were panicking, their eyes were red. After a meal of "eating all over the world and fighting in all directions", they almost spent their money. At this time, the tokens were also lost. Wouldn't they be starving next?
When he thought of starving, the tiger-headed man suddenly couldn't hold himself tight. He jumped up with a "ouch" and reached out to grab the short-handled simple knife on the table.
He looked around and saw that the people who had just grabbed the token were too aggressive. He thought that they might not be their opponents due to their martial arts skills, but he had to avenge them, so his eyes fell on Zhao Tong.
Bai Ao, Du Bo and others all went out to fight for the tokens, but Zhao Tong was the only one who still sat drinking.
The tiger-headed man looked Zhao Tao up and down, and saw that he was young, well-dressed, and his complexion was as scorched as gourd skin. He was a good-looking little yellow-faced man. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to have much ability.
He thought about it for a few seconds. This little yellow-faced deskmate went out to work hard, but this guy was still sitting and drinking. He must have a token on him. Since they robbed his brother's token, then he could snatch it back from him. , let this little yellow-faced man get a good beating, and see if he dares to act so arrogantly in the future.
"Hey!" He yelled: "Boy, quickly hand over the hero order on your body, and I will spare your life!"
After saying that, the tiger-headed man rushed towards Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong saw that he didn't know what to do, tilted his shoulders slightly, and punched out.
This punch came first and hit the tiger-headed man in the abdomen. The man was immediately beaten and screamed "Ah!". His face changed color from white to red and black. His body "thumped" and retreated, and he sat down on his butt. on the ground.
Then his chest and abdomen were heaving, his throat was rolling, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out all the food and drink he had eaten and drank in one go.
Staring blankly at the filth on the ground, the tiger-headed man burst into tears. This damn thing was all for nothing!
The elegant man hurriedly shouted to him in a low voice: "Fourth brother, please don't be impulsive, that man is more skilled in martial arts!"
The tiger-headed man said to himself, "Second Brother, aren't you talking nonsense? Why didn't you tell me before? What's the use of hindsight now?"
Fortunately, Zhao Tao saw that he was honest and didn't punch too hard, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot.
The tiger-headed man stumbled to his feet. He didn't want to grab any more heroic orders. Instead, he returned to his table. He hesitated for a while, and without using chopsticks, he directly grabbed the remaining food and wine on the table and continued to eat and drink.
The elegant man beside him was so angry that he stamped his feet and said angrily: "You idiot, my eldest brother is still in a coma, how can you have the intention to eat and drink again!"
At this time, the restaurant's cashier looked at Zhao Tong with his eyes narrowed, thinking in his mind that such powerful punches and kicks were coming, how could such a person come? Shouldn't these kinds of characters receive the Daylight Order?
The Riguang Order was a direct gift from the envoy of Hero Island, and the order was registered per person. The outlet to the sea was in Tongzhou, Huaidong, and did not go through Xianju and Changle.
The accountant was confused. He looked at Zhao Tong and quickly moved away. At this time, the fighting under the bamboo canopy became more intense. Some heroes who refused to hand over the hero order were cut down to the ground, bleeding profusely. , looking like he can no longer live.
Zhao Tong continued to drink slowly, and no one noticed him during this period. There were also some short-sighted people who came over and wanted to make up their minds, but he knocked them to the ground three or two times. He was not as merciful as the tiger-headed man. This is terrible. They all saw blood, and very few of them immediately harassed them.
The fight lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and some people began to run away when they saw that the situation was not going well. Many of them continued to chase after them. As they chased, they shouted: "Leave a heroic order and spare your life, otherwise I will catch you and chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"
There were also those who had grabbed the tokens and did not dare to stay for a long time. They hurriedly ran into the bamboo forest to hide, making it difficult to find traces.
There are also those who have lost their tokens and are covered in bruises. Regardless of their own injuries, they sit on the ground and cry loudly, acting like children.
Bai Ao and others came back at this time and said: "Master, we have grabbed four tokens in total, and we are still missing two."
There are six of them, Zhao Tong, Wu Song, Du Bo, and the three brothers from the Bai family. If they all want to go to Hero Island, they will be short of two tokens.
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "That's enough, four is just right."
Bai Ao was puzzled, but suddenly thought of something, and whispered: "Master, my subordinates know."
Zhao Tong nodded, and the others continued to sit. In a blink of an eye, the third watch was approaching, and then they got up and walked into the bamboo forest.
It didn't take long for me to arrive in front of the Immortal Temple. I saw that the gate had been closed long ago and there was no access at all.
Zhao Tong thought for a while and led a few people around to the back of the view. There was a small corner door here, and there were many people inside. He smiled and said: "You should enter from here."
Standing nearby and observing for a moment, I saw that someone was indeed coming in from here, but they needed to show the hero order, but no one tried to snatch it at this time. Apparently there were rules that they didn't know about.
Zhao Tong whispered a few words to Bai Ao and Bai Ba. They both bowed and said yes, and said: "Master, be careful!"
Zhao Tong waved his hand, and the two of them immediately disappeared into the distance. Then he led the remaining Wu Song, Du Bo, and Bai Zhan, the youngest of the Bai family, towards the corner gate.
After showing the hero's order, they were let in. No one needed to guide them, because the front was the Taiyi Kutianzun Hall. They entered directly from the back of the hall and saw dozens of people inside.
The lights in the main hall were bright, and the people in the hall were all dressed up. When they saw the four of them coming in, they just glanced at them and turned away. After all, this fairy house is the outlet of the Moonlight Order. The Moonlight Order is anonymous and does not belong to any famous person. Tiannanhai Bei, it's perfectly normal not to recognize each other.
After another long while, more and more people gathered in the hall. There were more than a hundred people. At this time, two people suddenly walked in from the main entrance.
Both of them are tall and slender, wearing black clothes that cover their faces. One has a sun symbol embroidered on his front, and the other has a moon embroidered on his front.
Seeing the two people entering the palace, there was immediate silence. Obviously these two were the sun and moon messengers of Hero Island.
As the two walked to the front, the four doors of the hall were tightly closed, and everyone's eyes fell on the two.
Zhao Tong also squinted his eyes to see. Judging from his pace and body shape, he could tell that the Sun and Moon Messenger was quite skilled in martial arts, at least first-rate. He could even be a small master.
The faces of these two people were covered by masks, and their expressions could not be seen. They heard the Sunlight Messenger say: "Once every ten years, there is a hero meeting."
The Moonlight Messenger said: "Run to the Immortal Island, where all the heroes will gather."
Zhao Tong smiled, this was quite smooth.
The Sunlight Messenger put his hands behind his back, glanced at everyone and said calmly: "All heroes and heroes, since you have the Hero Order, you should know the rules of the Hero Island. If you can't abide by them, it's still too late to retreat outside the palace now!"
The Moonlight Messenger said: "Going to the island is an opportunity, but leaving the island is a break. You must not reveal anything about the island. If you can't do it, it's better to leave early."
Everyone was silent. Everyone who came in did not know the rules of Hero Island, and they were all waiting for the two of them to proceed.
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, the Sunlight Envoy added: "Hero Island acts fairly and keeps every promise. I also hope that you will keep your words. If you violate the rules and your family will be destroyed in the future, please don't blame or resent me, Hero Island."
Seeing that no one was talking, the Moonlight Envoy took out a booklet from his body and asked everyone to register their place of origin, names, and nicknames.
Everyone stepped forward to write, and four of them, Zhao Tong, also went to write, but they all used pseudonyms, Du Da, Wu Er, Bai San, and Zhao Tong used the pseudonym Li Jian.
After everyone finished writing, the Moonlight Envoy put the booklet directly into his arms regardless of whether the names were true or false. He thought that if he wanted to find these people in the Hero Island in the future, there would always be a special way, and he didn't care about the names registered at this moment.
Then the messenger of the sun said: "If you have nothing else to do, you can set off now. The main island without horses can be borrowed first, and we will try to get to the seaside to board the ship at dawn."
Everyone did their best and followed the two envoys of the sun and moon out of the Immortal Temple from the front door. As expected, there were horses ready, so they all rode on and headed straight for the seaside.
When the sky first dawned and the fish belly turned white, everyone came to a place called Canglong Beach on the seaside. This was a reef beach. From a distance, they saw a medium-sized ship parked on the sea.
The Moonlight Envoy waved his hands towards the ship, which slowly approached, and then everyone boarded in an orderly manner.
This is a two-story seagoing ship, not a warship. It can carry about 200 people. The weather is excellent at the moment, the wind is calm, and the boatmen in the bottom cabin are barefoot, stepping on the circular waterwheel-like rotating shaft, and the ship is heading towards the vast sea. Sailed away.
There are dozens of small cabins in the ship, each of which can accommodate two to three people. In addition to these small cabins, there are also two large cabins, which are like inns. If they are full, they can Stay for a dozen more.
Zhao Tong and the others boarded the ship late. After entering the building, the small cabins had long been occupied, leaving only the two large cabins.
There were a lot of people crowded in front of the big cabin at the moment, all frowning, obviously not satisfied with this accommodation, but there was nothing they could do about it. One was that all the small cabins were indeed occupied, and the other was that they were unwilling to cause trouble. Seeing the domineering and ferocious people who occupied the cabin, I thought to just endure it.
Zhao Tong stood on the warehouse board, looked around and frowned. When Du Bu next to him saw this, he immediately said: "Sir, I'm going to find a place to stay!"
After saying that, he walked towards the independent cabin. Zhao Tao waved his folding fan, followed slowly by Wu Song and Bai Zhan.
Du Bo was tall and strong, with a ferocious and ugly face. He looked like he was not an ordinary person in the world, and his appearance had nothing to do with a knight. The road to the cabin was narrow, and he bumped into many heroes along the way.
There were a few like-minded people who dared to occupy the small cabin, but most of them saw his fierce appearance and thought they were unlucky. They just cursed in their hearts and got over it. However, some couldn't bear it and would fight if they put their arms around. But he was no match for Du Bo. He was knocked down with three punches and two kicks.
Then Du Bo saw a good cabin and turned around and said, "Sir, how is this place?"
Zhao Tong nodded slightly in the distance, and Du Bo reached out to push the door open, but the door was locked from the inside. He was immediately furious and cursed: "The little bird inside, come out quickly, grandpa will break the door if it's too late! "
There were first sounds in the cabin, and then there was a burst of curses: "Where did this bitch come from who doesn't know the rules? Is he looking for death?"
Du Bo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he raised his fist and was about to smash the door. At this time, there was a "click" sound from inside the door. Du Bo's fist hung in the air, and he saw the wooden door opened. A young man is revealed.
This man was somewhat handsome, but at the moment he had a look of hatred and coldness on his face. He looked at Du Bo's fist and sneered: "What do you want to do? Do you want to hit me? You don't even know who I am!"
Du Bo blinked and said, "Who are you?"
The young man snorted: "I am Ma Baiyun, the young master of the Shen Dao Sect!"
Du Bo said: "Young master of the Shen Dao Sect...is the master your father?"
The young man said: "It's good that you know. My father, Ma Hentian, is the king of swordsmen in the southwest. What he received this time is the Sunlight Order. He is heading from Tongzhou to Hero Island. If you, a dog, don't want to die, kneel down and kowtow." Apologize to me!"
Du Bao smiled with his teeth and said: "You are a dirty thing, do you think you are worthy of being called a master?" He punched him directly with a fist as big as a sandbag, hitting him right in the face.
The horse Baiyun immediately said "Ah!" and fell backwards, his face was beaten to a bloody pulp.
At this moment, a woman suddenly exclaimed in the cabin. It turned out that there was someone on the other side of the door. She was pretty and dressed in the costume of a Jianghu heroine. She hurriedly ran forward to help Ma Baiyun: "Ma Shaoxia, Ma Shaoxia..."
Du Bo walked forward with big steps and said: "Get out of here quickly, don't let me see you two again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
The heroine's eyebrows trembled and she said angrily: "You...don't you know that Mr. Ma is the young master of the Divine Sword Sect!"
"You damn magic sword door, get out of here!" Du Bo impatiently raised his fist again, and the heroine was so frightened that she hurriedly dragged Ma Baiyun out of the room.
Although Ma Baiyun suffered a heavy blow and was weak, his head was still clear. At this time, he hummed: "You, wait for me until we get to Hero Island..."
Du Bo kicked him fiercely and rolled him far away: "If it weren't for killing people on the ship, I would kill you now, and when we get to Hero Island, I would also screw your cheap dad to death!"
The two envoys of the sun and moon once warned that it is okay to fight, but not to kill people on the ship. As for Hero Island, if the two sides have a grudge, most of them will ignore it, but they cannot secretly commit evil. A duel can be used, and even death can prove it. It has nothing to do with Hero Island, it is caused by personal grudges.
After beating the two men away, the onlookers dispersed in a hurry. Zhao Tong came over at this time, and Du Bo hurriedly smiled: "Sir, there is an empty cabin here!"
Zhao Tong had already seen the scene here just now and didn't point it out. After all, rivers, lakes and green forests gathered here, so it would be good to establish some prestige.
After entering the cabin, he nodded slightly to express his satisfaction. Du Bo immediately led Wu Songbai to fight with the two of them, and beat away all the heroes in the small cabins on the left and right, and then settled on both sides.
In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed. The ship was not moving very fast, far less than the speed of a warship, but it was difficult to discern the direction on the sea and where it went.
At this time, the sea breeze was very light, the sky in the east gradually became brighter, and the sea slowly turned from black to gray, and then from gray to deep blue.
The huge sun rises slowly from the sea, the white clouds in the sky are dyed with bright colors, and the endless water waves on the sea surface shine with red light.
Zhao Tong stood on the deck and looked from a distance, only to see the shadow of an island in the distance...
