Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Island That Moves

Shen Rui was taken aback, it turned out that this double dragon chasing the moon wall was actually pointing to an unknown radar, as for why the moon chasing wall pointed to Penglai this time, Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian blurted out almost in unison.

"Mirage!"

Ye Wuxian said in a deep voice: "Penglai is most famous for mirages, I'm afraid there is no place in the world with a higher probability of mirages than Penglai, I think, since the moon chasing wall points to Penglai, it should be related to the legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain." ”

Shen Rui frowned and said: "Having said that, science has long proven that the so-called mirage and fairyland are just the refraction of light and shadow through the atmosphere, which is illusory. ”

Ye Wuxian smiled slightly, and his fingers tapped quickly on his military computer.

"The ancients had a bad problem, focusing on people and ignoring events, even the emperor's eating, drinking, and Lazar had to make a living note, about disasters in various places, geographical changes, but often only a few words, so we want to know everything that happened in the past on the ground of Penglai, or start with the wild history and those unique historical materials that not many people understand."

"If my guess is correct, Penglai Wonderland should have something to do with the legendary Sea Fairy Mountain." Ye Wuxian was talking to himself as he started a program that Shen Rui couldn't understand.

"This is my own historical keyword search and filtering tool, now this unique search engine has been launched, it will not only connect to the National Library such a large database, but also link to many unknown private databases, plus English search, the foreign library in the materials are also all over again, I believe we will soon get the answer we want to know."

Shen Rui really admired Ye Wuxian a little, according to his introduction, many databases were not open to the public at all, and he needed to hack in with his own skills, and it was impossible to change others at all.

As for the so-called Immortal Mountain on the Sea, Shen Rui is holding a half-believing attitude, as a senior lover of mysterious events, Shen Rui of course knows that Huaxia has been rumored since ancient times in the distant East China Sea, there are three moving mountains, and the mountains are inhabited by immortals, and those who are lucky enough to climb the immortal island can live forever.

The three immortal mountains, Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou, the name of modern Penglai City is derived from the legend, which means that Penglai City is the closest outlet to the sea from Penglai Immortal Mountain.

The children's rhyme written by the ancients also sang like this, "There is a fairy mountain on the sea, the prince goes to seek immortals, Dancheng is nineteen days, seven days in the mountain, and the world has been a thousand years..."

There are countless other legends such as fishermen saving a big fish near Xianshan, and the big fish is grateful, and every time they bring treasures from the sea to help the fishermen become the world's richest people.

In any case, there was no harm in studying these legends, Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian exchanged phone numbers, and agreed to meet again when the search on Ye Wuji's side had results.

……

Ye Wuxian processed the information much faster than Shen Rui imagined, and only two days later, he called and asked Shen Rui to get together, and the place was Mingyue on the sea.

When he saw Ye Wuxian in the box of Shen Rui's hotel, he was wearing a suit and tie as usual, carrying a small box full of various advanced equipment and white chocolate.

Don't look at Ye Wuxian's eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was exceptionally good, as soon as he saw Shen Rui, he took out the materials that had already been sorted out and printed and bound into a book.

"You see, these are the materials I have collected and sorted out about the Sea Immortal Mountain." Ye Wuxian said excitedly: "In the late Qing Dynasty, the French missionary Stone once heard from a local fisherman about the legend of the fairy mountain on the sea, as a Christian, he did not believe that there were other gods besides God, so he hired someone to sail out to sea and look for the fairy mountain on the sea. ”

"At the last moment, Priest Stone was ready to give up, and suddenly a mirage appeared on the sea, and the boatmen rowed desperately, and at last near the mirage they saw a large mountain that was jutting into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, green vines and dwarf pines, and faintly the roaring of wild beasts."

Priest Stone recalled that at that time, he was only a few hundred meters away from this magical mountain, and he already felt a pair of eyes watching him in the mountain, and he wanted to pounce on him immediately, but finally because the ship was not fast enough, he missed the opportunity, and watched this magical sea fairy mountain disappear with the disappearance of the mirage, and had to regret it for the rest of his life.

"These materials come from the Vatican and Holy See Archives, and they are written by a missionary with a devout faith, which is very credible!"

Ye Wuxian continued: "Also, also, I found such a volume of information from the Russian Far East Maritime Archives, also in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a fisherman from China who suddenly appeared in the waters of Okhotsk with a sampan, and the Russian fleet was very surprised and rescued the Chinese fisherman. ”

"When asked, the fisherman did not know that he had left his hometown for thousands of miles, and according to him, he had encountered a mirage at sea and had landed on a huge island, and he had wanted to explore the island, but he heard the roar of wild beasts faintly coming from the mountain, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to climb the mountain, and only rested on the island for the night, and then pushed the sampan and left the island, but ran here."

"Of course, the people of the Russian fleet did not believe in such bizarre legends, but they could not explain how a fisherman drove a small sampan into the windy waters of Okhotsk."

"Later, the people of the Russian fleet saw that this fisherman was very pitiful, so they took him in as a cook on the ship, the Chinese are good at cooking, and the Russians liked this Chinese chef with a magical experience, he not only had a job, but also married and had children, and his descendants still live in the Russian Far East."

"To verify this, I called the Mensa Club member there, and he personally went to the fisherman's descendants to verify it, and even saw a pair of oars, which were left on the sampan, and you see, this is a picture."

Shen Rui took the photo and looked at it, and his brows immediately tightened.

The ancients were far more honest than the modern people, and although the wood pulp has been mottled, you can still clearly see the handwriting left by the carpenter shop that made the pair of oars, indicating that the pair of jujube wooden paddles were carefully built by themselves and guaranteed for 30 years.

As for the date on the photo, yesterday.

Ye Wuxian began to eat sweets again, chewing on white chocolate while explaining his findings one by one.

The information he collected is very distinctive, if it is only a legend, it is not entered, and all that can be entered are all eyewitnesses, with a considerable degree of credibility of the information, the source of the data, the writer, the eyewitness, the list is clear.

One piece of evidence is in front of him, and Shen Rui can't believe it.

"So, are there really moving mountains on the sea?" Shen Rui lit up a jade stream and muttered to himself.

Ye Wuxian said: "It's very simple to verify this problem, you and I will go to Penglai in person." ”

"According to my summary of these sightings, there are two characteristics of a moving island, first, that its appearance will be accompanied by a mirage, and second, the only way to reach it is to advance quickly, and rush straight through it while the mirage is not gone."

"So that we will have the possibility of seeing the legendary moving islands, and it is even possible to land on them!"

As soon as the conversation changed, Ye Wuxian said in a deep voice: "The only problem is that I have collected the information about the Penglai mirage in the past hundred years, and found that more than 50% of the mirage anomalies occurred between the first and second days of the lunar calendar. ”

Shen Rui was stunned, "The day after tomorrow will be the first day of junior high school!" ”

Ye Wuxian nodded and said eagerly: "Yes, if we want to see the legendary island that will move, we must act quickly." ”

For someone like Shen Rui, who is keen on all kinds of mysterious events, this temptation is irresistible.

That night, an iron-hulled fishing boat set sail from the Yashan pier and headed at full speed towards Penglai at the northern tip of the peninsula.

There were three people on board, Shen Rui, Pan Yong, and Ye Wuxian.

ps: The new week is on the list, and I really need everyone's recommendation support, thank you!
