Chapter 167: Vacation

After leaving the sea tomb, Dongsheng and the others did not return to the island immediately, but found a few good places, dived and caught seafood, and played until the afternoon before returning with a full load. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info was not affected by the sea tomb at all.

After returning to the island, it was time to eat, it was time to play, and after nightfall, Xu Rong came to the island again.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng." Xu Rong clenched his fists and bent down to say hello.

"I thought you wouldn't be here again tonight, but I didn't expect you to be thick-skinned enough." Zheng Yunyao shook the red wine glass in his hand and said sarcastically in a cold voice. Dongsheng sat next to him, quietly enjoying the after-dinner fruit, and there was no joy or anger on his always expressionless face, but the big black eyes seemed to be extraordinarily deep.

After a few contacts, Xu Rong is now able to understand the strange modern accents of Dongsheng and Zheng Yunyao, its face is not as thick as Zheng Yunyao said, the face covered by the beard is almost burning, he bowed his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at the two, and said in embarrassment: "What does this mean, sir?" The contemptible people are a little incomprehensible. ”

"You're still playing stupid, aren't you? Did you know that those ghost algae almost killed us today? Zheng Yunyao said coldly, "I think you should have heard the word 'for the tiger', right?" We were kind enough to help you, but you deliberately deceived us into going to the sea tomb, in my opinion, you are a ghost who specializes in harming people for ghosts! ”

Dong Sheng stuffed a piece of dragon fruit into his mouth and said coldly: "You go, I will let you go this time, it is best not to show up in front of me from now on, otherwise, don't blame me for doing the right thing for heaven!" ”

Xu Rong was shocked, they had been adrift at sea for hundreds of years, and finally met someone who was willing to send them back to their homeland, just like a drowning person who finally pulled a piece of driftwood, can they let go? It has to be!

"This matter is indeed the fault of the contemptible people in the first place, and I hope that the two gentlemen will be angry." Xu Rong bowed and apologized.

"Alright, you don't have to say anything, let's go." Zheng Yunyao waved his hand impatiently.

"Two gentlemen, please listen to the explanation, I am not deliberately concealing the existence of ghost algae, but I really have a last resort." Xu Rong lowered his body again and again and pleaded.

"Bitter?" Dong Sheng sneered: "Since you are willing to explain, then you can first tell me what is hidden on your ship, and why is it still alive after hundreds of years?" ”

Xu Rong raised his head suddenly, Danfeng's eyes widened, he looked at Dongsheng in shock, and blurted out: "How do you know?" You went to the ship?! ”

"I promised to help you, and naturally I did what I said, but unfortunately you disappointed me too much." Dongsheng said coldly.

Xu Rong was a little confused, he didn't expect that the two people in front of him really had the ability to pass through that terrifying ghost algae and reach the wreck. At first, Winterborn promised to help them return to Middle-earth, and it was actually very happy. But Winter said that they could send their bones back to Middle-earth for burial, which was an irresistible temptation for it and for all of them.

One thought is wrong, and greed arises.

It had not only its own obsession in its head, but also the strong obsession of the hundreds of soldiers on board, and it could not restrain these obsessions at all.

It knew that Dongsheng and Zheng Yunyao were not ordinary people, it could see the golden light of merit on Zheng Yunyao's body, but it couldn't see the depth of Li Dongsheng at all, but it could feel that Li Dongsheng was very powerful, and he was by no means an ordinary person in the Xuanmen.

Perhaps, Li Dongsheng can really deal with those terrible ghost algae?

What if Li Dongsheng knew that there were a large number of ghost algae there and refused to go again?

Xu Rong struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the obsession in his heart and chose to be silent.

“…… If you really want to harm Mr., why not just introduce Mr. into that piece of ghost algae? "Xu Rong really didn't want to harm Dongsheng them, so he just brought them to the edge of the sea tomb. Although it didn't know Dongsheng's true ability, it believed that Dongsheng was not an ordinary person in the Xuanmen, and it was definitely not a problem to recognize the ghost algae.

Xu Rong is not a person in the Xuanmen, even if it has been dead for hundreds of years, it knows very little about the methods of the Xuanmen, and it ponders that although those ghost algae are ferocious, the people in the Xuanmen do not have the means to deal with them.

In fact, in the final analysis, Xu Rong's luck was also born out of obsession.

How did it know that the Dongsheng art was bold, so it directly asked people to drive the yacht to the top of the sea tomb, and went into the water without saying a word, almost not letting the ghost algae tear the yacht alive. It also doesn't know that now that the Xuanmen has declined, many inheritances have long been cut off, that is, Dongsheng can still take Zheng Yunyao and retreat with his whole body, and be replaced by his Xuanmen 'master', buried at the bottom of the sea early, and used the ghost algae as fertilizer.

And it didn't expect that Dongsheng really had a way to break through those terrible ghost algae, go straight to the depths of the shipwreck, and find something like that on the ship.

"I said if you really want to explain, explain it well, something like that on your ship." Dong Sheng stuffed a piece of mango into his mouth and said.

Xu Rong let out a long sigh, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness, but now, if it is concealed any longer, I am afraid that there will be no chance for the leaves to return to their roots in the future. The Zhu dynasty has long since perished, and its beloved monarch no longer exists, and it is pointless to hold on.

That thing killed all of them at sea, adrift on the vast seas for hundreds of years, and now trade it for a chance to return to their homeland.

"That's a dragon's heart, used to refine the elixir of immortality." Xu Rong slowly told the events of the year.

It turned out that the real purpose of Zheng He's several trips to the sea was neither to show off his national prestige nor to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, but just like the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to the sea, just to collect materials for the elixir of immortality.

The ancient Dan prescription taken out by the Xuanmen Warlock seemed very ridiculous to the people at the time, but the Yongle Emperor was convinced of it and did not hesitate to devote his efforts to find the materials recorded on the Dan Fang. If you can't find something in Middle-earth, you will look for it overseas.

Since ancient times, there are endless legends such as "there is a fairy mountain on the sea" and "Penglai fairy island", and Ming Chengzu is not the first emperor to send people to the sea to find immortals, nor is it the last.

The time Xu Rong participated was also the last time that Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He to sea when he was alive. At that time, Ming Chengzu's body was declining, and he urgently needed to take the elixir of immortality to prolong his life. During the reign of Ming Chengzu for more than ten years, he has collected most of the materials on the Danfang, and some of the materials that have not been collected can also be replaced by other materials, but there are two main ingredients that cannot be replaced.

One of them is the dragon's heart.

And before Xu Rong and the others went to sea that time, the warlock who convinced the emperor had already calculated that there would be a dragon on the sea.

Only a very few high-ranking generals knew about this news at that time, so that they could slaughter Jiaolong and arrange their troops. And with Xu Rong's official position and qualifications, he shouldn't have heard any news, but he has an uncle who is one of the senior generals who knows all the inside information. That clan uncle has no son, so he has always treated Xu Rong as a parent, and he has taken him with him to cultivate carefully, he knows that this trip is dangerous, and he is unwilling to let Xu Rong go.

But Xu Rong was young and vigorous at the time, and he sharpened his head and wanted to make some achievements. In order to dispel his thoughts, the clan uncle had to tell him the truth about going to sea, and he knew it with reason. But Xu Rong was a person who didn't believe in evil or ghosts at that time, and he felt that whether it was Jiaolong's theory or immortality, it was just a lie by a warlock to deceive the emperor.

With its persistence, it finally embarked on the road to the sea.

They didn't take the same route as the one they had seen in the documentary that night, but one thing was right, they did encounter an unprecedented storm. As for whether the others turned back halfway, it didn't know, only that they gathered tens of thousands of people to successfully slaughter the strange-looking dragon, and after getting the dragon's heart, they were separated from the other ships.

They lost their way in the thick fog, and then, because of the heart of the dragon, their ships were constantly attacked by various sea fish and sea monsters, and they desperately fought back, and after drifting at sea for a month, they ran out of ammunition and were unable to fight again, and finally panicked and rushed into the sea tomb, and finally became the food and nourishment of those ghost algae.

At first, the sea tomb was far from the current scale, it was the heart of the dragon, which constantly provided life for the ghost algae and allowed them to grow rapidly. On the other hand, the vitality escaping from the dragon's heart attracted a large number of sea creatures to the sea tomb, and those sea creatures eventually all became food and nutrients for the ghost algae, without exception.

“…… We are cursed by the dragon's heart, and wherever we flee, as soon as dawn comes, we will return to the place of the shipwreck, to the sea tomb. Before we met the two gentlemen, we had been floating on this ocean for many years, we were getting weaker and weaker, and we were sleeping longer and longer, and if the gentlemen refused to send us back to our homeland, we would have to die forever in this boundless sea. Xu Rong's eyes were soaked with bloody tears.

"Not lying?"

Dong Sheng choked Xu Rong's tears back with a word, and Xu Rong said sullenly: "No, if there is a lie in the contemptible, the sky will thunder and split, and you will not die well!" ”

Zheng Yunyao scoffed: "But you're dead, Dongsheng, I think it's better for us not to believe its nonsense." ”

"Then we will be punished to be buried in the deep sea forever, and we will never be allowed to return to our homeland!" After Xu Rong finished speaking anxiously, he hurriedly added: "If the two gentlemen are willing to send us back to our homeland, everything on the ship, including the dragon heart, will belong to the two gentlemen." After speaking, Xu Rong looked at Dongsheng and the others with blank eyes, for fear that they would say something to refuse.

There is no more credible oath for an obsessive aggregate than an oath made with an obsession.

The fact that Emperor Yongle went to sea to find materials for immortal medicine is not recorded in historical materials, but Dongsheng heard only a few words from his grandfather.

As a member of the Xuanmen, Li Jiu has a complete Xuanmen inheritance, and it is not surprising that he knows some inside information that has been deliberately forgotten by history.

It's a pity that Dongsheng has always lacked curiosity, and Li Jiu mentioned it casually at that time, and said a few words vaguely. If Xu Rong hadn't mentioned it today, he would have forgotten about this stubble.

However, even if the dragon is a legendary beast, it has been killed by people after all, and after hundreds of years, why can it still maintain such a strong vitality?

Is the dragon's heart really magical enough, or is there something else going on in it?

Dongsheng's intuition leans more towards the latter.

"That dragon heart is a bit interesting, for its sake, I'll help you again, but ......"

"But what?" Xu Rong's ears were about to stand up.

Dongsheng slowly ate several pieces of mangoes, and after satisfying Xu Rong's appetite, he said slowly: "That piece of ghost algae is huge in scale, and it is very difficult to deal with, and for a while, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to remove and fish out your bones." ”

Xu Rong was like a big dog that hadn't eaten a bone, and the whole ghost was wilted.

"But ......"

Xu Rong raised his head abruptly to look at Dong Sheng, only to hear him say coldly: "However, I can find a way to send you back to Middle-earth to have a look first." ”

Xu Rong was so excited that his voice trembled a little: "But, is it okay?" But we can only come out at night! Can we really go back to Middle-earth in one night? ”

Probably too excited, the ghost soldiers appeared on the beach one after another, and hundreds of people all looked at Dongsheng with blank eyes.

"What? Don't believe me? Dongsheng was still eating the fruit carelessly, and his tone did not change in the slightest, but it made Xu Rong and the ghost soldiers startled.

"Believe, believe, how dare we not believe sir!"
