Hearing his sudden words, everyone looked at him, not knowing what he meant.
The mermaid emerged from behind the boat and half-crouched up, "You're asking this, the sea of underworld is vast, you can go anywhere here, what route do you think it is?"
Qingya hopped on one foot and turned around on the boat, facing each other and said, "I mean, is the route we took all the way here a convenient route to Zilan Island?"
As soon as these words came out, the shark fell into deep thought.
No one was bothered when they saw this. Long Xingyun touched Qingya's arm with his finger. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious. What was the situation?
Qingya returned the gesture, indicating that he should be calm, and then continued to wait for the shark's reply.
After a while, the shark nodded slowly, "Don't talk about it. If you think about it carefully, if you are going to Zilan Island, then the path you took before was not wrong."
Qingya asked again: "Do you know how to get to Zilan Island?"
Shark: "If I don't know the way, it's impossible for the Sea Clan to let me out for the ferry."
Qingya: "You don't need to follow us anymore. We will pay the money. You can just take us to Zilan Island."
The shark asked, "Are you sure?"
"OK." Qingya nodded. .
"Okay." The shark responded, pushed his arms away from the half-lying stern of the boat, sank into the water again, pushed the ferry to adjust its direction, and continued moving forward again.
Another ferry continued to follow, with Pang Chengqiu and Cui You on board.
At this time, Long Xingyun couldn't help but ask, "Master Qing, what do you mean?"
Qingya replied: "Actually, in some of the news I found out before, someone seemed to have heard the guy mention 'Purple Lan Island', but he couldn't confirm what it meant. Looking at this situation now, and listening to what the boatman said, It seems that those three guys most likely went to 'Purple Lan Island'."
Have it? After hearing this, Pang Chengqiu, who was on the other ship, had a little doubt in his eyes. After recalling it, he felt that he had no impression of the news in this area. He suddenly felt strange that most of the news received by Qingye was passed on by himself. , why don’t you know? Could it be that the news came from the boss’s wife?
Long Xingyun's eyes were bright, and his enthusiasm was obviously back. He tapped the big knife on Qingya's back with the folding fan in his hand, "As expected of Qing Ye from Haishi, I really found the right person. Okay, let's go to Zilan Island Take a chance.”
Yinshanhe, who was on the same boat, continued to smoke dry smoke, and the sudden red fire in the smoke pot illuminated his silver-haired face from time to time. The floating smoke also gathered for a long time and never dispersed, and was abandoned by the ship in the void behind.
After that, the sound of waves breaking through the tranquility continued. The two boats continued to move forward, and the people on the boat occasionally exchanged a few words. What was left was the seemingly endless darkness, and the indistinctness. of light mist.
In this empty and silent environment, people's perception of time is extremely distorted. It is difficult to grasp the passage of time by feeling, and it is necessary to control the circulation cycle of blood and energy.
The boat kept wandering and moving forward. I don't know how much time passed, until the thick clouds above appeared dim, and the people on the boat roughly knew the time, and it was already dawn outside.
It was daybreak. Although the light was still dark, the sight distance was much wider. The shadows of the islands and land at a certain distance could be seen dimly on the boat. Perhaps it is better to describe it as feeling.
Another light appeared further away, attracting the attention of everyone on board.
Long Xingyun stared closely: "Could it be that we have caught up with the previous boat?"
The shark behind the boat laughed and said, "It's impossible. The way we took is already the shortest way. If we avoid our boat and take another way around, the shortest distance will probably cost one more person than us." For more than an hour, they won’t run in front of us. Sir, you might as well look carefully at the color of the light."
After this reminder, some people took a closer look, while others had only average interest and had no interest in seeing more.
The former is Long Xingyun, and the latter is Qingya and Pang Chengqiu. They have been hanging out in Haishi for a long time and are quite familiar with the general landforms on the surface of Minghai. When they saw the bright light, they already roughly knew what was going on. You probably know where you are.
However, neither of them said a word, looking like they didn't know and weren't very smart.
After Long Xingyun stared at it for a while, he exclaimed: "The light seems a little purple, it seems to be purple light."
Yinshanhe was also watching closely. A red light suddenly flashed in the cigarette pot, and a cloud of smoke came out. He looked at the sky, then took out the cigarette holder and said, "It should be that Zilan Island has arrived."
"Zilan Island?" Long Xingyun was startled for a moment, then turned around and asked: "Boatman, has Zilan Island arrived?"
The shark pushing the boat smiled and said, "Yes, that's Zilan Island."
As the ship gets closer and closer to the target location, the outline of the island where the purple light comes from becomes clearer and clearer. The large area of the island is covered with clouds of purple flowers, which is really beautiful. The entire island is like a sea on the underworld. A magnificent gem.
After the boat got close to the shore, first-time visitors knew why the island's brilliance came from.
There are many giant plants growing on the island. A grass is as tall as a tree. The grass itself is dark brown, but there are thousands of strands of whiskers hanging under the leaves, like a weeping willow, exuding a magnificent purple luster. It is the source of the purple brilliance on the island.
Yin Shanhe suddenly asked, "Is this the purple grass?"
Qingya smiled and said: "Yes, it is a kind of man-eating grass. Once ordinary people are caught by those purple whiskers, it is difficult to escape. There are often creatures from the underworld that are attracted by their beautiful brilliance and climb ashore to get close to them. As a result, they lose their lives. "
The shark boatman reminded me, "I've sent you all as promised. Could you please pay the money? Also, I want to ask, do you need a boat to return?"
Qingya smiled and said: "Of course we have to go back, but we may have to bother two ships to wait for us."
Mermaid Boatman: "It's okay to wait for you. The question is how long we have to wait, so we can calculate the money based on time."
Qingya looked at Long Xingyun and others, and replied: "It's hard to say how long we'll have to wait. How about calculating money based on time?"
Before the boatman could reply, Long Xingyun directly intervened, "Boatman, there's nothing to settle. I'll give you another hundred thousand taels for the return trip of the two boats. Just wait patiently."
Qingya was speechless. How long do you want people to wait? Thinking about it, he might as well stop talking about it. He was so wealthy that he didn't need to worry about helping anymore.
The boatman was naturally happy when he heard this, and immediately said: "Okay, as long as you pay the 30% deposit first, our two boats can wait for you for three days."
Long Xingyun immediately tilted his head to signal Cui You, "Give me the money."
"Yes." Cui You agreed, took out the money, first paid the amount agreed on the trip, and then paid a 30% deposit.
Long Xingyun had already jumped ashore first. When Yinshanhe and Cui You came up, he found Qingya and Pang Chengqiu standing on the boat with no intention of getting ashore.
Yinshan Hedun's eyes were alert, and his fingers instantly tightened the short cigarette rod, and the red light in the cigarette pot also brightened instantly.
Long Xingyun was also waving hello, "Master Qing, stop dawdling."
Qingya shook his head and said: "Young Pavilion Master, I have done everything you should and should not do for you. I will not participate in the rest of the fighting and killing. It is too dangerous and I will not go to this island." ”
This time, Yin Shanhe, who was exhaling smoke, jumped in and said, "Master Qing, you pointed out the place. The situation is unknown. Since you are here, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to go to the island?"
Qingya: "Brother Yin can say 'purple grass', so he must have heard about the situation on Zilan Island. There is an immortal monster called 'Qianjun' living on the island. He has advanced cultivation and extraordinary martial arts. You run here." If I come to fight and kill him, I might alert him. I don't want to face this possible accident.
No matter how famous my Qingya name is, I will not be dizzy. I still have some self-awareness. I am just a gangster in Haishi. It is already an honor to be able to help the young pavilion master. No matter how deep the friendship is, I still have not reached that point. Help the Young Pavilion Master to fight and fight to the death.
To be honest, I really didn’t plan to make the trip myself this time. I just planned to spread the word. There was no need to get too involved. However, the young pavilion master was really too kind to refuse, so Qing had no choice but to get involved. We have just left this time. Let's stop here. I will stay on the boat and wait for the good news of the Young Pavilion Master.
There is no need to worry about what will happen to me. We know that there are more than one or two of us here together. If something really happens to you, I will face a lot of trouble when I go back, so there is no need to worry about me staying. cause trouble.
Brother Yin, there is really no need to force me to land on the island again. You and I know very well that our friendship has not reached that level. Although you have a relationship in Qianliu Mountain, you have no real power after all. In Haishi, , you can’t give me what I want.
If we are really worried about being alone and weak, then we should come back fully prepared next time. It is not too late to prepare more manpower and look for opportunities. There is no rush. "
At this point, all I have to say is that you have not done me any favors, and I have been helped by you all in vain.
Yin Shanhe and Long Xingyun both frowned. This situation was something they had not expected before. They really did not bring many people with them on this trip. With their backgrounds, there was no need to mobilize troops to come to Haishi. It was easy to recruit people, but they didn’t Thinking that Qingya would "enough is enough" at this juncture, I thought that I would have to obey whatever others said.
I've said everything I should and shouldn't say, and it's really not easy to force someone to do so if it's reasonable.
If we had known this would happen, we really should have prepared more manpower.
Long Xingyun was a man of honor, so how could he go back in such a dejected manner? He immediately said to Yin Shanhe: "Uncle Yin, forget it, it won't be sweet if you force yourself to do it. If you don't force our young master, besides, how can we rely on us?" With your own strength, can’t you deal with those three? Especially if you take action personally, so what if there are immortal monsters with advanced cultivation on the island?”
Yin Shanhe was silent, then suddenly turned his head and said to Cui You: "It's enough for me and the Young Pavilion Master to land on the island. You stay and watch the ship with them."
At the same time, he gave a wink.
Cui You understood what it meant and told him to be careful and to warn him immediately if he found a problem.
He immediately accepted the order, jumped on the boat, and respectfully invited Pang Chengqiu to go on the same boat with Qingya in order to maintain a safe distance and at least reserve some space for a hasty warning.
Qingya smiled faintly, thinking that the other party was just unnecessary, so it didn't matter. He turned back to the boatman and raised his chin, motioning to the shadow of a small island opposite, "Let's go, let's wait over there."
Long Xingyun became alert when he saw this, and said in a deep voice: "Qingya, what do you mean?"
Qingya couldn't help but sigh: "They came here too, do we have to wait for them to bump into us? It would be better for our two boats to find a place to take shelter."
The shark boatman appeared at the stern of the boat again, looking like we were just waiting for you to discuss the deal and watch the fun.
Long Xingyun pulled out the folding fan from his waist and turned it on, as if he hadn't said anything.
Qingya waved to the boatman again.
Unexpectedly, Yin Shanhe called out again: "Master Qing, you must be familiar with the situation here than us. Isn't there any taboo on this island? Don't you plan to remind me?"
Qingya paused after hearing the words. After thinking for a while, he turned his eyes to the island and waved his hand to indicate the general direction. "On the opposite side, there is a dark area where no purple grass can be seen. It is a chaotic reef area with no monsters. The 'Thousands of Army' should be entrenched there. If you can't help it, try not to go there.
Under normal circumstances, as long as it doesn't make too much noise and doesn't plan to stay here for a long time, 'Qianjun' shouldn't pay attention to every detail.
But then again, if you really encounter 'Qianjun' and if there is any misunderstanding, you might as well reveal your identity and show no harm.
Although 'Qianjun' has a withdrawn temperament, he is not brainless. He should know the consequences of provoking you. Even if it is for his own good, he will not embarrass you too much. In short, try to be careful when going to the island. "
After saying that, he cupped his hands and let them do their own thing, and then waved to the boatman again to start the boat.
