Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tsunami
Lin Fan was in the room, listening to the roar of the wind, and I don't know how long it took, he fell asleep in a daze, if Li Guoqiang knew that Lin Fan could still fall asleep under the bad conditions of the tsunami, rain, and wind, it was estimated that he would have to worship Lin Fan as the eldest brother.
"Let's do it"
Li Guoqiang shouted hoarsely, several shipwrights stumbled and busily on the deck, and a huge wave hit the stern of the passenger ship, which actually caused the passenger ship that was supposed to slide down the diagonal tsunami to rush up again.
The next morning, Lin Fan woke up from the ground in a daze, he had not slept for long last night, and when he wanted to go out to help, the passenger ship shook violently, he directly hit the wooden board and fainted, "I don't know what happened to the boatman", thinking of this, Lin Fan hurriedly walked out of the room and ran to the deck.
Fortunately, Li Guoqiang has rich experience, and immediately decided to take advantage of the tsunami before it was fully formed, leading the shipwrights to drive the passenger ship to rush to the tsunami, so as to avoid the disaster, but also to lose some, this is not a dozen people are in the wind and sunshine, repairing the canvas and broken rods, fortunately, there are no casualties.
"Yo, little brother, how is it, you weren't scared last night, were you?"
Li Guoqiang saw Lin Fan looking around on the deck and smiled, I don't know that Li Guoqiang is smiling, and the other shipwrights are also smiling, after all, the rest of his life after the catastrophe is indeed worth laughing at.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, can you still walk if this pole is broken?", Lin Fan pointed to a broken wooden pole.
"Look at what you say, you will be unprepared when you walk in the sea, and there is more than one pole, so you can relax."
After Li Guoqiang finished speaking, he asked a boatman to prepare a meal, after all, everyone was tired all night, and it was time to eat something and rest well.
Poof, poof, poof
There was a sound on the calm sea, Lin Fan walked to the guardrail and took a look, and saw a huge fish, which looked about eight zhang long, and there was a small fish with the same miniature version next to it, only more than two zhang long.
"Boatman, how can there be such a big fish in the sea?"
Lin Fan couldn't help but be even more curious when he saw that the big fish was still spraying water into the sky.
"Haha, this is not an ordinary fish, this is a whale, the so-called whale is so big that it can't fit in a pot"
Li Guoqiang joked, and after ridiculing, he also introduced it to Lin Fan, this fish is called whale, Lin Fan saw one of the cetaceans, and it is also the largest one, deep-sea fishermen are rumored that this kind of whale is quite spiritual, and if you encounter this kind of whale, it will also represent good weather, so the sailing boatmen regard this fish as a mascot.
"Boatman, are you carrying passengers on this boat, is the business good?" Lin Fan watched the big fish and small fish dive into the sea, then turned his head and continued to chat with Li Guoqiang.
As soon as he heard this, Li Guoqiang sighed, frowned and sighed and said: "What's the good, compared with the land route and the waterway, I don't know how many times faster, and those passenger boats on the river can still make a profit, after all, elegant people will watch along the way, but we who go to sea, if we only carry people, we are full, so we will also help people bring some goods under the deck, and the money earned is only to fill the stomach, and the fish in the sea will be eaten by the people near the sea area, and the people in the city do not like to eat sea fish very much, and the annual tax and silver are getting heavier and heavier......"
Listening to Li Guoqiang's complaining farther and farther, Lin Fan hurriedly stopped, and found a reason to walk to the front of the deck of the passenger ship, I don't know how big the sea is, Lin Fan looked at the blue sea at a glance, looked at it for a while, and after having breakfast boringly, he went back to his room and fell asleep.
"Kid~~"
As soon as Lin Fan arrived in the room, the spear that had been quiet in the bronze ring for a long time actually stabbed through the clothes on Lin Fan's chest again and jumped out.
"I said, can you say something next time you want to come out?
Lin Fan glanced at the hole in the clothes on his chest, and angrily punched the shaft of the spear, he didn't expect that this spear looked like it was about to break into a hundred pieces at any time, but it was still extremely hard, Lin Fan punched down, his right hand was stuck bald, squatting on the ground with his right hand in his stomach and grinning.
"Wow, boy, can you speak?"
The spear stood on the wooden board of the room, swaying from side to side, as if staring at Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan heard this, another nameless anger suddenly rose, was this broken spear wishing he couldn't speak?
"I'm going to make three chapters with you now, and you can listen to me."
Lin Fan saw the unruly appearance of this spear, and always felt that it would cause him trouble, so he had to set some rules for this spear, the first is to tell Lin Fan when he comes out of the bronze ring, the second is that when he wants to talk to Lin Fan in the bronze ring, he must first use his mind to transmit the sound, so as not to have someone around Lin Fan, and the third is that when he follows Lin Fan, he must unconditionally obey Lin Fan's instructions.
"I protest, you're abusive...... Forehead...... Let me think."
The spear was also wonderful, and it really pondered like a human for a while, and then said, "You are abusing weapons."
However, the spear's protest was invalid, and in the end Lin Fan threatened the spear, if these three articles were not observed, then don't think about following Lin Fan, and in desperation, the spear could only agree to these three rules.
Without the excitement at the beginning, Lin Fan numbly ate and slept every day, slept and ate, and finally arrived outside the dense fog that Li Guoqiang said in the dawn of the sixteenth day.
"Wake up, little brother, it's here," a boatman knocked on the wooden door of Lin Fan's room.
"Ah, it's here, okay, I'll go to the deck right away," Lin Fan said excitedly.
When he first arrived at the wooden fence on the deck, Li Guoqiang pointed ahead and said: "Little brother, you look at the white fog, inside is the island you are looking for, but we have a word first, I will wait for you here for fifteen days at most."
Lin Fan nodded, Li Guoqiang ordered the boatmen to hang a small wooden boat from the deck, and prepared water and food for Lin Fan for fifteen days.
Lin Fan sat on the small wooden boat, and the four boatmen hoisted the small wooden boat to the sea with ropes, Li Guoqiang's mind was also careful enough, knowing that Lin Fan was inconvenient, he deliberately fixed a wooden post in the middle of the small wooden boat, and tied the two oars to the wooden post with ropes, Lin Fan could row as long as he pulled the rope.
The white mist is three miles away from Lin Fan, if Zor Island is the egg yolk, then the sea water and reef are the egg white, and the thick white fog is the eggshell, which firmly covers the Zor Island.
Pulling the rope and driving the oars, Lin Fan drove the small wooden boat into the white fog and disappeared from the sight of Li Guoqiang and the boatmen.
The visibility may not even be three meters, and there is still heavy humidity in the dense fog, but fortunately, Li Guoqiang gave Lin Fan a cloak, and the reef is like a sharp sword, standing on the sea one by one, Lin Fan cautiously piloted the small wooden boat, and he didn't know how long he walked, but he still didn't see the land.
"Wait, why is this reef so familiar?"
Lin Fan looked at a reef that looked like three fingers, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and then he suddenly realized and scolded: "I'm X, isn't this the place I just rowed, why did you go around here again."
"There seems to be a psychedelic array here", the spear informed Lin Fan and jumped out of the bronze ring.
"Psychedelic Array?", Lin Fan asked puzzledly, looking at the white fog and pine-colored reefs around him.
The so-called psychedelic array is to make the person who breaks into this formation disoriented, no matter how you go to heaven and earth, left and right, and no matter how you go, you will always return to the original point, of course, it also depends on the cultivation of the person who arranges the array, if the realm is higher than the person who arranges the array, then it is safe to enter this array.
"Your cultivation has been sealed, and I can't exert my strength, the range of this white mist, in my opinion, is a psychedelic array", the spear stood on the boat, shook it from side to side a few times, and looked at it like a human being.
"What should I do then?", Lin Fan said hurriedly.
"Do you want to break the formation and find the heart of the formation, but in my opinion, this method can't be done, or forcibly break the formation, but you and I can't exert our strength", this spear is simply talking nonsense, so that Lin Fan almost couldn't help but throw it into the sea.
"Someone's coming, I'll go into your bronze ring first."
Without waiting for Lin Fan to attack, the spear swished into Lin Fan's bronze ring.
As soon as the spear was submerged in the bronze ring, a man in his thirties and a man in his twenties suddenly appeared on the bow of the small wooden boat, both holding a three-toothed steel fork and a black lacquered rope at their waists.
The two steel forks were aimed at Lin Fan, as if Lin Fan was about to stab him if he made any move, and the man in his twenties shouted, "Who are you?
Another man in his thirties looked at Lin Fan and said, "Mortals on this island are forbidden to set foot on it, so you better leave quickly."
"Two of you, I'm not a mortal, I'm also a cultivator", although Lin Fan said that the spiritual pool was sealed, he could also sense that the spiritual power in the bodies of the two men in front of him was constantly running.
"It's nonsense, you say you're a cultivator, why can't I sense the spiritual power in your body?", the man in his thirties shouted.
Lin Fan's eyes turned, he took out the Ethereal Gate token from the bronze ring, handed it to the man in his thirties, and said, "I am a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, and I am trying in the red dust."
The man in his thirties took the token and looked at it, his expression softened, the three-toothed steel fork in his hand was also put away, and after returning the token to Lin Fan, he asked: "It turned out to be a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, I know about the Red Dust Trial, the disciples who have just entered the God Transformation Stage went to the mortal world to try, but Zixing currently has only a few sects that still preserve this Hongchen Trial tradition."
"Well, what, take the liberty of asking, what do you two call and what do you do on Zor Island?", after another man in his twenties also put away the three-toothed steel fork, Lin Fan asked, he just saw this man of his age, holding a steel fork facing him in one hand, and holding the end of the pitch-black rope in the other.
"My name is Pingtaek, his name is Pingshui"
The man in his thirties pointed at the man in his twenties and said to Lin Fan.
Perhaps because Lin Fan was a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, Ping Ze and Ping Shui chatted with Lin Fan, and through the mouths of these two people, Lin Fan knew something.
Zor Island is actually the auction holy island on the purple star, many cultivators are worried about the occurrence of murder and overtaking, they will come to Zor Island, and entrust the items to be sold to the Zor Island Auction House for auction, if the auction is successful, the Zor Island Auction House is charging a certain amount of spirit stone fees, Pingze Pingshui and the two are disciples of the Zor Island Auction House, but the realm of both of them is in the God Transformation Period, and they can only be responsible for patrolling the periphery of Zor Island, as for the auction hall on the island, there are several cultivators in the Three Crossing Period to guard, and the person in charge of the auction house, its realm is in the Three Crossing Period Nine Heavens。
"Three Crossing Periods, I remember that the number of cultivators in the Three Crossing Periods was very small in the past, but now the Three Crossing is all over the place", Lin Fan said secretly.
In order to allow cultivators to enter and exit Zor Island smoothly, Zor Island Auction House specially made a bunch of wooden cards, holding this kind of wooden card, you can freely enter and exit the dense fog, and are not troubled by the psychedelic array, as one of the three major sects of Purple Star, the Ethereal Sect naturally has this kind of wooden card, but it is not given to Lin Fan.
After Pingze and Pingshui confirmed Lin Fan's identity, he volunteered to take Lin Fan out of the thick fog, and when he learned that Lin Fan would stay for fifteen days at most, he even agreed with Lin Fan that if Lin Fan wanted to leave Zor Island, as long as he returned to the place where the small wooden boat docked, they would leave with Lin Fan again.
"If you go all the way down this road, you will see the complex, which is our auction house, and if you are lucky, tomorrow morning there is a monthly auction on Zore Island, so you can have a good visit," Hirasawa said, standing on the soft sand, pointing to a green brick road next to it.
"Thank you two", Lin Fan thanked Pingze and Pingshui.
Watching the figures of the two people in Pingshui disappear into the thick fog, Lin Fan, who was standing on the beach of Zor Island, couldn't help but think: "These two people are really good, and they didn't ask me what I was doing on this island, do you think I can't come to this island to visit?"
Lin Fan's guess was right, after Pingze and Pingshui knew that Lin Fan was a member of the Ethereal Sect, especially the disciple of the Hongchen Trial, it happened that the monthly auction house of the Zoel Island Auction House was about to start, and they even believed that Lin Fan just wanted to come to Zoel Island to join in the fun, so they didn't ask Lin Fan so much, only asked Lin Fan about the dynamics of Zixing, it seems that the two have been staying in Zor Island and have not gone out much.
"Hey, hey, spear, I've entered the island, don't make a noise without my words", Lin Fan's consciousness reached into the bronze ring and shouted, but found that the spear was actually very quiet, lying obediently in the bronze ring without saying a word, it seemed that he had fallen into a deep sleep again, Lin Fan was so happy that the spear fell into a deep sleep, and even wished that it would never wake up.
"When the Hongchen trial is over, I have to ask my master", the spear said that it existed when Zixing was still alive, Lin Fan naturally didn't believe it, and made up his mind to wait for the Hongchen trial to end, and then go back to the Ethereal Gate to ask Lin Shi.
The aura of this Zor Island is also strong, full of greenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers, like a paradise, along the blue brick avenue for more than eight miles, Lin Fan saw the building complex.
In front of Lin Fan's eyes, there is a group of palaces with yellow tiles and red walls, in the middle of this palace group, there is a palace that is particularly huge, whether it covers an area and is more than ten times that of other palaces, this huge palace is located in the center of the palace group.
"This little brother, are you here to sell or?"
Lin Fan was only more than a hundred meters away from the palace complex, and without waiting for him to observe carefully, a man and a woman came to the blue brick avenue, wearing the same style and color of clothes, especially the clothes on the left chest, all embroidered with six gold characters of the Zoel Island Auction House, and it was this man who spoke out.
"In Xia Nai, a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, in the Hongchen trial, I came to this island to take a look, and I want to take a picture", Lin Fan said as he stared at the woman.
