The angry harbor is full of waves, making it difficult for a strong ship to cross.
The gathering place agreed upon by Yue Haoran was actually Lingbo Island outside Nugang Bay. And throughout the country, there are few offshore waters with such unstable climate and violent waves as Nuhai. There is a legend that it was Xue Wudi, the leader of the martial arts alliance, who cut the sea with his sword on Lingbo Island, which made it difficult for this sea to calm down... In short Up to now, Nu Port is still an inaccessible dock, and no ships will plan this place into a fixed route. There are almost only two types of ships stationed in the port - the fishing boats of the Sihai Gang, and the imperial court that regularly rotates here to train troops. Navy.
He Nan and others had no intention of going to Linbo Island to see the "Fenghai Ruins". They just wanted to deliver the goods and see the sea view before heading to Mangcheng, so they took the land route from Yueyue County to the small town outside the dock—— It can be said that this seaside town is surprisingly small and has a very sparse population. It is far less prosperous than the towns nearby the "Shang Capital". Just walking on the street can smell the salty sea water from the wind, and every resident sees it He looked up with a fierce air.
"In the beginning...I mean it probably goes back hundreds of years. Only a group of fishermen who dared to fight gathered here. It wasn't even a town - those fishermen laid several feet of iron in the sand. Then use ropes and iron chains to connect boats, bamboo rafts, etc. with the iron piles, and finally connect them into a fishing raft, on which people eat, drink and live and do fish farming. They will be loosened every time the weather gets better. Cables are used to drive boats out to sea. In addition to the delicious special aquatic products, these fishermen's goals have even spawned an industry of 'treasure fishermen'. Because many cargo ships drift
However, the ship sank due to unfamiliarity with the local environment, and some of the treasures on the ship were buried deep under the reef. "
To get to Mangcheng from here, you have to walk a section of water first, so He Nan also used his subtle connections in the Sihai Gang to book a boat - the person who came to serve as a tour guide for everyone was considered an acquaintance, and he had been in the Young Heroes Association. Xiang Dongliu, who debuted last time, unfortunately had average strength and was eliminated by Yan Qi, a disciple of the Beggar Clan, in the first round. However, at this moment when he told everyone about the history of the development of Nugang in a talkative manner and arranged the itinerary in an orderly manner, one can see his advantages besides martial arts: "It's just that the shipbuilding technology in those days was too poor. The wind and waves can almost overturn a small fishing boat. No matter how strong the fishermen are, the probability of survival is not high - but the shortcut to get rich overnight here still attracts many desperadoes, and Eventually it became their settlement.”
"After Gang Leader Xue established the four major water divisions, this place was gradually expanded into a formal fishing ground by the brothers of the water division. Later, as the industry developed, it gradually became a small-town-sized settlement - the residents here today About 30% of them are members of the Sihai Gang, but other fishermen and boatmen also maintain a close cooperative relationship with us. In addition, there are also some government officials who stay to maintain port facilities. Every summer and autumn, the navy will be deployed here. By then, we will have to give up most of the pier." Xiang Dongliu continued to introduce that this town is indeed very small, and a few people had already walked through the main road in the time it took to chat, and Xiang Dongliu also wanted to lead Hei.
They went to the fishing raft next to the pier and said, "You came at the right time, otherwise you would never be allowed to approach the pier without government credentials. After the navy occupied the pier, even us from the Sihai Gang had to rely on our fishing rafts." Let us lead you to the dock."
He Nan and others nodded in agreement, and heard Xiang Dongliu say that spring is usually the busiest time, because sea fishing in winter is extremely dangerous, and sea fish tend to migrate to the deep sea, so the Sihai Gang can only fish after the beginning of spring. Assemble more people to cast a wider net.
This time there were two rare guests in the team, Rui Wuxun and Ge Shuhao, who came with them. King Chu Jiang could get off the bus on the way to Mangcheng, so he took on the responsibility of escorting everyone; and Ge Shuhao Although Hao's territory is in the north, he now has a mysterious admiration for Wei Kui. The experience in the Queshizhuang underground palace also made him want to end things with the victor, so he proposed to follow the others to Mangcheng. . There were three northerners in the group of six, but four of them, including Chen Yanbi, a young man who came from the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest, had never seen the sea, so this trip was a great experience, and they even got to experience fishing. ...It’s just that these people have little experience, so the six of them together can’t gain as much as any young man from the Sihai Gang.
In the evening, a seafood banquet was also arranged by Xiang Dongliu. Although He Nan killed Chen Fengping, the old gang leader, he was still an honored guest since his private chat with Wang Juxi last time. Xiang Dongliu, as a subordinate of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, People should also treat each other with courtesy, making it lively and harmonious.
Another day later, the dragon saw his head
The endless sword has finally arrived in this town.
Yue Haoran was still dressed as he was when he visited the Taiping Escort Agency the previous two times. He wore a simple and tattered hooded cloak on the outside, but wore comfortable brocade underneath. The old man didn't even bring a sword with him - He Nan and Wei Kui had seen it with their own eyes. At his level, a tree branch cut out at random could play with top-notch masters as if they were children.
"Senior seems to be a little younger again." He Nan stood up and invited his senior to take a seat. During the greetings, he already winked and asked his brother Shuhao to run an errand - to bring the two lead boxes over, but at the same time, the boy thought in his heart is another matter.
He is planning his trip.
Yue Haoran once left a letter to contact the Taiping Escort Bureau, but instead of Jianmen Mountain, he asked the Taiping Escort Bureau to transfer the letters to the "Guangyuan Treasure Store" in Yueyue County. The chief shopkeeper was originally The disciples of Jianmen Mountain later retired from the world and opened the first Guangyuan Baozhan in the capital. Later, the business became bigger and bigger, and the Guangyuan Baozhan was opened in several counties around the capital - Yue Haoran He claims that he travels all over the world and always lives in Guangyuan Baozhan, and there will be a way to contact him.
"Sure enough, we're not too far away..." Even if we take into account that Yue Haoran arrived at Nugong two and a half days later than his group, the Excalibur senior arrived at the appointment quickly enough, which meant that he By the time I replied, I was within the area that Guangyuan Baozhan could reach with the capital as the center.
"Unexpectedly, it was you who sent the sword back, little friend. You took the trouble." While drinking tea, Yue Haoran opened the two lead boxes and inspected them one by one, after confirming that there were no problems.
Then he closed the lead box and pushed it aside: "It seems that the signs of the three major escort agencies in the Central Plains are indeed worthy of trust."
"It was only because of the trust of my seniors that I entrusted the sword to me, so Wansheng had to exchange it for me in person to be considered a letdown." He Nan also responded politely, and then chatted for a few more words before saying, "Wansheng has something to do. Please tell me...Since this sword is a legacy of Jianmen Mountain, are there any examples of people who were injured by this sword but did not die from it?"
As soon as these words came out, Yue Haoran understood something, and his expression suddenly became serious: "My little friend...could it be that he was injured by this thing?"
He Nan nodded: "Since the seniors said that the materials of the two swords are from the same source, the effects must be similar. Maybe it can be used as a reference."
Originally, He Nan hadn't said clearly who was injured, but Yue Haoran didn't waste half his life, right? Immediately he said, "Please show me the wound on your shoulder."
After looking at it for a moment, Yue Haoran couldn't help but sigh. He Nan could not tell whether the old swordsman was happy or sad, so he waited for the other party's next words: "I think you were injured by the sword first and then cut it yourself." A piece of flesh, right? And it should be a scratch, not a stab wound... Is this true? And how long ago was it treated after the injury?"
The master of swordsmanship is like this. He dared to draw a conclusion confidently after only taking a cursory look at the wound, and what he said was correct. After receiving He Nan's precise answer, he said: "My dear, it is really good luck. The wound is on the shoulder." , It’s not in the organs, and it hasn’t penetrated deep into the bone marrow. It’s just floating on the hair and skin, and it can be dealt with decisively and timely..."
He Nan had never been a quick-tempered person, but hearing Yue Haoran be so pushy made him feel doubly tormented. god
The sword could also see that this young man was worried, so he said: "This sword has killed countless people, but there are indeed a few cases. I used your method to save my life in the end, so I won't be jealous of the talented person."
Before He Nan could breathe a sigh of relief, the old swordsman said again: "However, the reason why the master said this sword is evil is because the poison left behind is so strong. Although those few people survived, their health has been deteriorating since then. Back in the old days - only one person relied on a rare precious jade, which he held in his mouth or kept close to him every day, and was able to live another ten years. But that was also a story left by the ancestor. What was the name of that jade, and what was it? But I haven’t heard of the specific species.”
But when He Nan heard this, he felt relieved for the time being - those injured were more serious than
Although he is still heavy, he can still live for a few years. He will not be so unlucky, and as long as he is alive, he can always find a way out. As long as he is not like Chai Sichou who only has a few months to live, it will be considered a gain.
This kind of thinking is indeed due to He Nan's optimistic side, so much so that he completely forgot about the side effects of poor health - of course, his physical condition was not much better before he was taught Taoist internal skills by Dongfang Watch. A proper weakling.
After receiving Yue Haoran's reply, He Nan felt relieved. After Wei Kui came to ask for advice for a few words, everyone saw that Yue Haoran wanted to see off the guest, so they stopped disturbing him and the two parties parted ways.
Yue Haoran's trip was not only to seal the sword sea, but also to take this opportunity to see the site of the cutting sea of Lingbo Island. The boat he took was obviously arranged by the Sihai Gang, and He Nan and his group took the boat the next day. The boat went in the opposite direction, heading towards the deep valley
Went to the mountain city.
As for the goodbye between the two parties, it is another story.
