Lan Xin was amused by their nervous appearance, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The pearl is there, we can take it whenever we want." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and at the moment, the top priority is to set up our guards. Only when people are safe can things make sense. Otherwise, it's all a passing thing. ”

Everyone's hearts were cold, and Lan Xin's words were like an enlightenment, sounding the alarm bell for everyone, isn't there such a sentence: No matter how much money you earn, you must also have a life to spend! The eagerness in everyone's eyes was swept away, replaced by calm and dignified.

Several people sat on the ground, with stones in their directions, and assigned the patrol manpower. Lan Xin looked at the tall trees around him, and suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Uncle Han, the silk threads and bells that can weave nets on our ship?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know what the girl is going to do with it?" Han Da thought for a while, nodded and said. Lan Xin didn't sell it, and said to everyone: "The so-called hundred secrets and one sparse, no matter how strict our precautions are, there will be laxity." If we tie a silk thread tied with a bell more than 20 meters away from our tent, whenever someone or an animal comes by, it is inevitable that they will touch the silk thread. When the thread shakes, the bell rings. As long as we know in advance that someone is invading, we will also prepare in advance. ”

"Wonderful! Girl's idea is really brilliant!" Han Wuyi slapped his thigh and sighed, "The old slave will go and prepare immediately." By the time the words came over, the man had already run away.

Everything was arranged, and the rest of the people who did not need to patrol went to the sea to fish for dinner. People who have no work at hand go to catch seashells and pry pearls.

The golden black hangs in the west, and the jade rabbit rises in the east. The lights in the tent were all extinguished, and only the wind lanterns that needed to be guarded around were left. People who had been excited for a day gradually fell asleep, and snoring was heard from time to time. Outside the tent, except for the rustle of leaves in the wind, there was the occasional footsteps of patrolling teams passing by.

The night was getting quieter, the occasional rustle of leaves, and the footsteps of patrolling seemed to have not been heard for a long time. Lan Xin suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Qinghe's sleeping cheeks through the moonlight, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was dreaming something.

Lan Xin's eyes froze, and he always felt that something was wrong. She put on her clothes, put on her shoes, subconsciously lightened her steps, tiptoed to the side of Qinghe's bed, pushed her with her hand, and shouted softly: "Qinghe, Qinghe, Qinghe, wake up, wake up." Qinghe didn't move at all, clicked his mouth twice, and continued to fall asleep, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

Hey, Lan sighed silently and listened quietly to the situation outside. After a deep groan, he straightened up his clothes, opened the curtains, and walked out.

The moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling on the few people in front of him. As soon as Lan Xin came out, before he could figure out what was going on, several people in front of him snorted, and all knelt down, muttering some strange words in their mouths, like a language, more like chanting a mantra again.

Lan Xin was taken aback by this sudden situation, took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and stubbornly held back his steps back. I don't know how long it took, a few people stood up, and Lan Xin saw their faces clearly.

The person standing at the front was not tall, dressed in a wide robe. Half-tied and half-draped snow-white hair tied with a dark gourd, a pair of deep eyes full of vicissitudes. Hunched back, as if the emaciated body could no longer support it and was about to be broken at any time. But the strange thing is that she is obviously a skinny old woman, but she has a ruddy complexion, fair and delicate skin, like a newborn, and there is no trace of time. In his hand, hidden in the wide cuffs, he holds a cane, and the tip of the cane is carved with a living bird, specifically, in the shape of a black bean.

The old woman in black was followed by five or six men and women. The color of their clothes is very bright, and their makeup is also very weird, which is too far from the people of the Great Sect Dynasty. With a fluttering sound of wings, the black bean, which had not been shadowed for a day, flew out of nowhere. It fell directly on Lan Xin's shoulder, whispering "sister". For some reason, Lan Xin felt a lot more at ease with the weight on his shoulders.

The black-clothed old woman standing at the front put one hand on her chest, lowered her eyes, and said in a respectful voice: "The one hundred and thirty-fourth generation owner of Chiba Island, with the chiefs of the various tribes on the island, came to thank the girl for her great kindness to Chiba Island. As she moved, the people behind her saluted.

Lan Xin knew in his heart that the great favor in the mouth of the Chiba Island Lord in front of him should be about black beans. She looked at the people in front of her with a faint face, pointed to the few people who were supposed to be patrolling around, but now they were leaning against the tent, with a smile on the corner of their mouth, and fell asleep, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with them?"

The master of Chiba Island glanced at the people leaning next to him, bowed down and said, "Please rest assured, girl, they are fine, they are just asleep." Chiba Island has been inherited for nearly 1,000 years, but it is almost hidden, and the less people know about it, the better. We came to thank you tonight, and we had to use 'Sweet Dream Fragrance' as a last resort to put everyone here to sleep. If it is inappropriate, please forgive the girl. "Her attitude is humble and respectful, and it is impossible to find fault with her.

Lan Xin squinted his eyes at the person in front of him and asked, "When will they wake up?" The Chiba Island Lord explained, "Rest assured, girl, they will slowly wake up after we leave." ”

"Then why am I okay?, and since I know your secret, what should you do?" Lan Xin asked in a deep voice.

"Naturally, the girl is different from them. The lord of Chiba Island said, "The girl saved our Chiba Island's patron saint, the Thousand Spirit Bird, who is the benefactor of our island. Besides, the old body believes in the girl's character and will not fall into Chiba Island for injustice. ”

"Hehe!" Lan Xin smiled and said indifferently, "The island owner doesn't need to wear a high hat for me, people will have desires, hopes, and greed." ”

When the girl said this, the old body was more relieved. The master of Chiba Island said incomprehensibly, as if he was really relieved, and the whole person didn't look as stiff as before.

It turns out that Chiba Island is a hidden island, and no one knows its origin, only that it has existed for almost a thousand years. There is a bird on the island called the Thousand Spirits, they can speak, and some can even predict the future, and the people on the island regard them as sacred birds, and they believe that the Thousand Spirits are the guardian saints of the island.

But every hundred years, the thousand spirit birds will have a catastrophe, and they will leave the island to go to the vast sea. The thousand spirits that came out of the island flocked, but few returned. There has always been a prophecy on the island that if one day, the thousand spirit birds disappear, the entire island of Chiba will not exist.

This Thousand Soul Bird Tribulation, seeing that it was the day when the Thousand Soul Bird returned to the island, but not a single bird returned. The owner of Chiba Island takes the people of the island to worship and pray for blessings every day, and as the days go by, she even feels that the entire island is sinking. Ships were found approaching, and people were on the island. She looked at the busy people with cold eyes, and couldn't help but be moved to kill. But whether Chiba Island will disappear or not, she will not allow anyone to defile the island.

Just when everything was ready, she saw the thousand spirits in the cages of those ignorant people. Surprised, the thousand spirit bird was alive, and his heart was even more resentful. I didn't expect these ignorant people to put them in a cage as a thousand spirit birds worshiped by the gods. This strengthened her determination to destroy these people, and just as she was about to put down her raised hand, the thousand spirit bird rushed over like an arrow off the string, and shouted: "Stop, stop it all!"

Hearing the story of the thousand spirit birds, the owner of Chiba Island realized that he had misunderstood and felt deeply guilty. At the same time, he was even more grateful to Lan Xin, and decided to devote his whole island strength to repay Lan Xin's kindness.

"We can't repay the girl's great kindness, as long as we have it on our island, the girl commands, and we will do our best to satisfy the girl. The Chiba Island Lord said respectfully with his head down, his tone sincere and without the slightest reluctance.

Lan Xin looked at the person in front of her with complicated eyes, but she didn't expect that unconsciously, she had already turned around on the verge of death. But in the face of the honesty of the owner of Chiba Island, she can't be jealous of her, after all, as the owner of an island, the safety of the island is the most important thing.

Lan Xin took the black bean off his shoulder, held it in his hand, and gently stroked the soft feathers on its chest. The people who followed behind the Chiba Island Lord were not calm, there was only such a thousand spirit bird left on the whole island, what if there was a mistake? The Chiba Island Lord swept over with a faint look, and the people behind him suddenly quieted. One by one, they wanted to speak and stopped, staring at the thousand spirit birds that stayed in Lan Xin's hands with sincerity and fear.

Lan Xin took in everyone's expressions, looked at the Chiba Island Lord in front of him with a smile, and asked, "The Island Master is sure that I won't hurt it, and I won't open his mouth loudly, right?"

The Lord of Chiba raised his head, looked at Lan Xin seriously, and said with a smile: "Although the old body is not talented, after all, he has lived for more than a hundred years, and he still has the ability to see people." The old man saw that the girl's eyes were clear and bright, and there was no greed, so he ・・・・・・" looked at the faint smile on the corner of Lan Xin's mouth, as well as the bright eyes, and suddenly couldn't speak. Lowering his head, he pondered for a while, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said with a firm face: "We have a secret spice on Chiba Island, which has no aroma in itself, but after it is ignited, it will naturally blend into the surroundings. It's like on this moonlit night, and it exudes the scent of grass in the vicinity, which is imperceptible.

But its greatest use is that at the moment when the aroma wafts away and the colorless cigarette floats up, you can see the other person's heart clearly. When the girl came out just now, the old man lit the incense in the cuffs. When the cigarette floated up, the old body saw that the light smoke around the girl was no different, so the old body dared to be so sure. ”

Lan Xin shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "It is said that people become old and fine, and it is true. The wisdom and frankness of the owner of the island is admirable. ”

"The girl was modest. The owner of Chiba Island smiled and said, "The girl is smart and keen, decisive in trouble, knows how to make trade-offs, and her future is limitless!"

Lan Xin looked up at the moonlight, and said with a low smile: "It's not too early, let's make a long story short! Saving the black bean is just a temporary thought, and I haven't thought about reciprocating." Passing by your island today, I took this opportunity to repair it. The ship was somewhat damaged after drifting at sea for days, and I wanted to cut down a few trees on the island to repair the ship. I don't know if it's possible?"

The girl said seriously, and there is naturally no reason not to agree to these little things. The Chiba Island Lord bowed and said.

"Also. Lan Xin pondered for a while and said, "This sea is rich in pearls, I don't know if I can ・・・・・・ it."

"Does the girl like those beads?" asked the Chiba Island Lord in surprise, those things were so ordinary on the whole island that they didn't pay attention to them at all, "There are many on this island, and they are much better than those produced in this sea." When the girl came to the island, she could have as much as she wanted. ”

Lan Xin choked, pursed his lips is not a taste, feeling that he and the people around him are treasures, and they don't take it seriously in the eyes of others. And it sounds like these pearls caught today are still the most inferior pearls, alas, there is really no comparison! Asked: "The owner of the island said in advance that Chiba Island is a secluded place, and if we enter the island, will it disturb the life on the island?"

"Naturally, it won't. The lord of Chiba Island said, "The tribe around here is the Xuanqing tribe, and their chief is the underworld, and he will arrange the girl's entry into the island tomorrow." As she spoke, a man standing behind her, dressed in a silver-gray robe, with his hair tied behind him with only a headband, and a black feather stuck in his sideburns, walked out, bowed down and said, "Obey the orders of the island master!" and said to Lan Xin, "Waiting for the girl's ride." ”

"Since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and disturb you. Lan Xin nodded and agreed, since they sincerely invited, it would be hypocritical for him to refuse repeatedly. Besides, it's time to visit the island and gain some knowledge.

Lan Xin looked at the back of them leaving, frowning, the bells he ordered to tie were not ringing, could it be that they were not placed in the right place?" Where there is more and what is missing, it is naturally clear. My sister doesn't have to be depressed. Just when Lan Xin was secretly entangled, Black Bean suddenly said.

Lan Xin looked at the little thing in the palm of his hand, and asked suspiciously, "You can still see through people's minds?" "My sister's expression is written on her face, and it doesn't take much effort. Black Bean said funny.

"Is it so obvious?" Lan Xin couldn't help but touch his face, so he asked curiously, "Then how old are you who are so shrewd?" Black Bean rolled his eyes and said, "It's hard to say, anyway, it's right to call you sister." ”

Lan Xin knocked on its head and scolded with a smile: "You are clever!" Seeing that the person leaning on the edge of the tent showed signs of waking up, he raised his feet and returned to the tent.
