Chapter 710: Return to Flying Stone Harbor
Wu Song landed on the island and patted the giant turtle's head as a token of gratitude.
The giant tortoise barked at Wu Song, then returned to the sea, and soon disappeared.
Wu Song watched the giant tortoise go away, and then walked towards the few lights on the shore.
When he got closer, Wu Song saw that there was a row of wooden houses, several fishing boats parked on the shore, and fishing nets drying on the shore.
Several fishermen are arranging their nets on the shore and preparing to set sail for fishing.
Wu Song walked over and asked, "Old man, what kind of place is this?"
Wu Song spoke Dongzhou dialect, and the fishermen were all natives and could not understand Wu Song's words.
Wu Song gestured for a long time, and finally let the other party understand what he meant. Wu Song actually wanted to know if there were any merchant ships docked here, and if there were, then he could take the merchant ship to Xizhou Feishi Port and join the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader Ning Yan Yunrong and the others.
The fishermen told Wu Song that a merchant ship would dock at noon. Wu Song also wanted to ask for other information, such as whether the merchant ship would go to Xizhou. But the communication between the two sides was really troublesome, and Wu Song had no choice but to give up.
Wu Song found a place on the shore, and then waited for the arrival of the merchant ship.
There are human fishermen on this island, which means that this island is far away from the mainland of Xizhou and is closer to Zhongjie Island.
Based on Wu Song's previous experience, it would take about two days and two nights to get from Zhongjie Island to the mainland of Xizhou. After all, the small island where he is located is close to the Xizhou mainland, and it is estimated that the time required should be about one day and one night.
Anything can happen over such a long period of time. After all, Wu Song was worried about the three leaders of the Jade Rabbit Sect, they were in the territory of the Xizhou Demon Clan, and they didn't know if they would encounter any danger.
By noon, a large ship had docked. Wu Song first hid in the dark and observed for a while, so as not to make the people on the boat bad guys.
After disembarking from the boat, the group dressed as workers went to the fishermen's quarters and carried baskets of fish onto the boat.
Wu Song put his mind at ease, these people should be serious businessmen, and they came here to collect fish.
Wu Song walked to the side of the boat, where stood a chubby middle-aged man who looked like a steward.
Wu Song told the middle-aged man that he was a guard on a merchant ship going back and forth to the East and West continents, and that he had drifted here alone because the ship was wrecked, so he wanted to take their ship back to the West Continent.
The middle-aged man was reluctant to let Wu Song ride at first, and his face was embarrassed. But after Wu Song took out a bag of gold, the middle-aged man immediately agreed.
Wu Song boarded the ship smoothly, and an hour later, the big ship set sail and headed for the Xizhou mainland.
Wu Song was lucky, the small island that the giant turtle brought him to was a small island where a few merchant ships would dock on the route from Zhongjie Island to the Xizhou mainland. In the following routes, merchant ships never docked again.
At midnight that day, the merchant ship docked at the port of Hok Kok on the mainland of Xizhou.
The port is about a hundred miles away from the port of Feishi, which is not too far. Wu Song bought a horse in the city and rushed to Feishi Port.
An hour later, Wu Song arrived at Feishi Harbor. He came to Xing Zhutou's old mansion, but there were no Jade Rabbit Sect Leaders Ning Yan and Yun Rong there.
Wu Song's heart sank, could it be that the three of them had been discovered by the demon clan and had encountered an accident?
Just as Wu Song was thinking wildly, he suddenly pushed open the door of the old mansion and walked into the courtyard.
That person was Xing Zhutou, Wu Song was overjoyed, came out of the hideout, and said, "Xing Zhutou, where are Yunrong and they?"
Xing Zhutou was overjoyed to see that Wu Song was safe and sound, "Monk Wu Song, it's great that you're okay." Rest assured, your friends are fine, it's not all here, I moved them to a safe place.
I'm just afraid that you won't be able to find them when you come back here, so I'm going to come back and have a look.
Let's go, I'll take you to them. ”
Xing Zhutou took Wu Song through the city, and an hour later, the two came to a courtyard.
There, Wu Song met Ning Yan and Yun Rong, the leaders of the Jade Rabbit Sect.
Seeing that the other party was fine, both sides were very relieved.
The star map that Wu Song snatched from the Shui Yao Protector, Xing Zhutou had already handed over to the Jade Rabbit Sect Master. He had already deciphered the location indicated on the star map, which was a demon city called Kewan City.
"Without further ado, let's leave for Cowan City. Wu Song said.
"That's what we thought too, just wait for you to come back, and we'll head to Kewan City," the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader said, "but Xing Zhutou doesn't agree with our plan. ”
"Xing Zhutou, do you think there is something wrong?" Wu Song asked.
"Kewan City can't go," Xing Zhutou said worriedly, "Kewan City is about three hundred miles away from here, and it is an inland city. The human race on the West Continent all live in several port cities along the coast, and no one lives in the inland cities.
It's not that we people don't want to go to live in the interior, it's that we can't settle there.
The demon clan government has a clear rule that the human race is not allowed to live in inland cities. This regulation seems to be a sign of resistance, but it is actually protecting the human race. ”
"Protect the Terrans? why?" Wu Song said.
"The Terrans and the Demons only had a complete truce ten years ago, and the shadow of war has not actually dissipated from the hearts of the two races. Most of the people of both communities are hostile to the people of the other community.
In the demon clan, only the tribesmen along the coast will have a gentle and friendly attitude towards the human race. The demon tribes in the inland areas are basically extremely conservative, and the human race is likely to be slaughtered by the demon clan when they enter the inland. Xing Zhutou said.
"Are you afraid that something will happen to us, so you don't agree to us going to Kewan City?" Wu Song said.
"Exactly," Xing Zhutou said, "When you arrive in Kewan City, the best result is that you will be detained by the local demon clan government, and then sent back to the port to send you back to Dongzhou."
But it's more likely that you'll be killed by the demons along the way on your way to Kowan City.
Brother Wu Song, I know that your cultivation is profound, but as the old saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a good man can't stand up to many people. How many can you fight alone? You have to face not a dozen people, dozens of people, but a village, a town of demon clan, what can you do when the time comes?
We met once, and I really don't want to see you die in vain. ”
Wu Song listened to Xing Zhutou's words, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Xing Zhutou, we all know your kindness. You're right, but there's something very important going on in the city of Covan, and we have to go there.
Isn't there any way we can get to Kowan City?"
Xing Zhutou showed hesitation and said, "There is a way, but that method cannot completely guarantee your safety, and there are still certain risks." ”
"That's better than nothing," Wu Songxi said, "What's the solution?"
Xing Zhutou muttered, "The Terran government sometimes has some cases that need the help of the inland demon clan government. At this time, the Terran government will send people to the inland city to contact the demon clan's government.
Those sent inland would have special documents from the clan government to prove their identity.
Whenever they see this document, then the Demon Clan Government will send someone to provide protection in case the Terran officials are killed by the Demon Clan. ”
"You mean that we can hold this kind of paperwork so that we can safely reach Kewan City?" Wu Song understood what Xing Zhutou meant as soon as he heard it.
"The special document was issued by the highest governor of the Terran government, and I can't get it. However, I had been sent to the interior as a special officer the previous year, when I was issued a special paperwork.
I still have that document in keep, and it has been stamped with the engraved seal of the demon clan's official mansion, because it has been invalidated. But I know a guy who makes fake documents, and I can ask him to make a fake special paperwork.
You go on the road with fake special documents, if you can not be recognized, then you will be protected by the demon clan government all the way, and you will be safe.
But once it is discovered, then the demon clan government is likely to put you in the demon clan prison and wait for your fate.
Once the human race enters the demon cell, then it is basically sentenced to death. Because the demon criminals in the cell will try to kill you, and those demon prison guards will also be happy to provide convenience to the criminals.
After all, there are also many people in the official mansion of the demon clan who have a deep hostility towards the human race.
That's why I said at the beginning that this method is not completely safe. Xing Zhutou said.
"In any case, we must go to Cowan City. Although this method is risky, it is the only way we can do it, and we have to try it if it is risky. Wu Song said.
The leaders of the Jade Rabbit Sect, Ning Yan and Yun Rong, both agreed with Wu Song's opinion.
"Okay, in that case, I'll take you to the person who made the fake document now, and after finding him, we can get a fake special paperwork, and then you can go on your way. Xing Zhutou said.
Wu Song and Xing Zhutou went together to find the person who made the fake documents, and according to Xing Zhutou, the man was a habitual offender who was good at making all kinds of fakes.
Calligraphy and painting, jade, carved seals, antiques... Anything that can make money, he can make a corresponding fake.
And the tricks are so skillful that even experts will be deceived many times. He was only caught once, the only time he was betrayed by his brother, not because he had made a fake.
At that time, the person who arrested him was Xing Zhutou, who was in a lover relationship with a woman at that time, and he was worried that if he was caught, the woman's life would be in poverty.
His savings were buried in a place, and he informed Xing Zhutou of this place, promising to let Xing Zhutou take half of the money, as long as he gave the other money to the woman.
Xing Zhutou saw that he valued his affection, so he agreed to him, did not take a penny, and handed over all the money to the woman.
Three days later, the woman took all the money and left with a man.
Xing Zhutou told the news to the person who made the fake, and he thought that the other party would be very sad. But unexpectedly, the man laughed when he heard this, saying that he didn't care, and even very happy.
