Chapter 240: Fusang Kingdom (2)
In the early hours of the morning, our sea boat landed smoothly at the beachhead of Ziyan Island.
The whole world has not woken up, but I can hear the tinkling of mountain streams, and the sound of cooing apes.
Boiling springs continued to erupt from the ground, like the sigh of an old man.
There are mountains on the island, and the mountains have ancient trees, and there are pools under the trees, and there are springs in the pools.
The sacred tree called Fuso, which has long since passed its flowering season and bears abundant green fruits, can be picked by reaching out to the rocky springs that dot the entire island.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains the Eastern Wilderness Sea, and there is a soup valley below. There is a fuso in the Yugu, and it is bathed for ten days. In the north of the Black Tooth, in the middle of the sea.
It is not known whether Purple Smoke Island is the soup valley in the sea contained in this ancient book.
Brother Lin said the day before yesterday that the maritime merchants of the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty also called the Dongying Wa Kingdom in this sea area the Black Tooth State, which is the same as that contained in the book.
From this, there must be a relationship between the two.
I didn't have the heart to figure it out, so I packed up my clothes and got off the boat with Yin in my hand, and ran to the soup pool in the island.
It seems to have returned to the Kunlun Mountain in Khotan, and the "Chang'an Yue" Tangchi Courtyard in the mountain has not been there for many years.
Penglai Fantasy, Immortal Cave Mansion.
Wandering around the island without bathing and changing clothes is not defiling the miraculous creation of heaven and earth.
The island's hot spring ponds are scattered among the hillsides and forests, and are formed by boiling springs underneath the ground for thousands of years.
The size varies, and the water is as warm as soup and crystal clear.
The moment I jumped into the soup pool, I felt that all my internal organs were stretched.
The wind from the north across the sea seems to have been melted by the purple gas here, and the breath of spring is everywhere.
Everyone came one after another, jumping into the soup pool of different sizes.
With this Fusang holy water, wash away the dust along the way.
"Master Lin! It's so boring to spend the whole winter on this isolated island! How far is the royal city of the Wa Kingdom from here? ”
After taking a bath for a while, Qin Chong shouted loudly at Brother Lin.
Over the past three years, we have spent most of our time between isolated islands in the southern wilderness, and all our livelihoods have been obtained by our own hands.
There is no way to trade a lot of red gold, not to mention the hard work.
Now that the mainland is close at hand, and you have to choose to spend the winter on the island, everyone is a little puzzled.
The biggest gain of our trip to the Southern Wilderness was to bring back 200,000 taels of red gold.
Although these golden pimples are not of much use in the indigenous sea country, as long as they return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Han Land, all the guys on the ship can become rich people with thousands of dollars, and everyone earns a fortune that they can't spend in a few lifetimes.
Therefore, it is not pleasant to go to the royal city of this Japanese kingdom to rent a luxurious restaurant to live, and it will not cost much gold to drink and sing every day, and it will not cost much gold.
"Hahaha! Brother, you think we are in the Great Jin Dynasty! Chang'an, Jiankang, Luoyang? Wine flags are like clouds, millions of people! Let me tell you, this Eastern Ying Kingdom is still a place of life, and it is no different from the natives we met in the Yavati Kingdom and the Southern Wilderness Islands! Their royal city is far inferior to our villages in the south of the Yangtze River! What do our ships want, a hundred times more comfortable than their palaces! ”
Brother Lin wiped away the steaming soup with a linen towel and laughed happily.
"Sir! You still don't understand what Chong Tsai said! He doesn't think there are wild girls on the island! Hahaha! After Lin He finished speaking, he plunged to the other side of the spring pond.
"What the Master said about eating and drinking men and women, eating and drinking sex, this is true! You boys, you're just out of danger
Thinking about doing nonsense! It seems that this suffering has not been enough! ”
Tian Bo sat on the edge of the pool and scrubbed himself, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after listening to Lin He's words.
"Of course you're not in a hurry! There are a lot of children and grandchildren in the family, and my Lin He's parents have passed away a long time ago, and they are still single! Shame on your fathers and fathers! Ay! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't complain here, think about so much gold, how much family property you can buy after you go ashore, hehe. Crane boy, spring boy, you will soon become a rich man! Are you afraid that you won't be able to get a lady in the future? ”
Tian Bo stood up from the pool, although he was already in the age of knowing his fate, his purple skin was still shiny, and he couldn't hold a drop of water.
"But it's all the master's money, and it has nothing to do with me!" Lin Qing held back the joy on his face, muttered in a low voice, and secretly glanced at Brother Lin in the outer pool.
"This trip to the sea has taken a lot of detours, and everyone has overcome all difficulties through thick and thin to get to where we are today! I have discussed with Yi Zi and Tian Bo, and the gold earned from this trip to the sea is shared by no one who is a master or a servant! No more, no less, exactly 10,000 taels of gold per person! Hahaha! ”
Brother Lin has always been generous, and he has never treated his own people badly, and he has seen everyone's hard work in the past few years.
But I have never seen such a boss who has taken out all the gains and divided them equally with his own guys.
He has never consulted with me and Uncle Tian, it is all his own idea.
"Ten thousand taels of gold! Oh my mother! ”
Such a wealth from heaven is too much for these poor fishermen, and it stuns them all.
"I, Lin someone, have always been true to their word, and besides, this is also earned by everyone with their own lives, hehe."
"Thank you, sir!"
"I swear to follow my lord to the death in this life!"
After everyone was ignorant for a while, they knelt in the pool to thank Brother Lin.
Just when everyone was immersed in the carnival of making a fortune, more than a dozen white striped figures came from nowhere and jumped into our soup pool.
There was a burst of laughter, and everyone figured out that all of them were women.
Although as Brother Lin said before, all of them have better skin than snow, black hair like clouds, and smiles like flowers, and there are no taboos between men and women.
But due to the suddenness of the incident, everyone was scared half to death.
Just like meeting a female ghost in the mountains, everyone fled in spite of Sven's embarrassment, even Lin He, who had coveted women for a long time.
These "witch sea ghosts" do not chase after them, and the more unbridled laughter blends with the sound of springs and birdsong.
The red sun is rising on the sea, and the island shrouded in purple smoke is like the legendary Penglai Wonderland.
"Big brother, it's the first time I've encountered this scene after walking the trade road for so many years, how can the women of the Wa Kingdom be so unbearable?"
Everyone has put on warm winter coats and leaned against the side of the boat to look at the scenery of the island, and they can't help but sigh.
Such an erotic encounter can be encountered in life but cannot be sought, it is so wasted, it is not the work of heroes!
"Brother Xian doesn't know, the Dongying Wa Kingdom is lonely overseas, and it has been a wild place since ancient times. The indigenous people do not know the law of Buddhism, have no sense of awe, and do not practice Confucianism, and do not know etiquette, righteousness and shame. Therefore, the livelihood of the people of the world is no different from the animals in the mountains, and the affairs of men and women are not taboo in the ethnic group, and the world style can not be summed up by the word "chaos", hehe. ”
Brother Lin had already packed up, sat on the bow of the boat and leisurely sipped potato wine and said to me.
"Amitabha! Alas! Alas! ”
After listening to Brother Lin's introduction, I couldn't help but clasp my hands together and sing a few Buddhist verses.
"Brother Xian! Where does sorrow come from? ”
Brother Lin put down the wine bag and asked me with concern, and Qin Chong, Guo Helmet and others also gathered around when they heard the sound.
"In the vast world, all living beings are suffering! These barbarian natives are in suffering but don't know it, how can it not be a kind of red dust suffering! ”。
"The virtuous brother is worthy of being a disciple of Master Shura, who is merciful and compassionate, and has the world in mind. Come on, come on, take a sip! All living beings are bitter, only old wine can relieve a thousand sorrows! Hahaha! ”
Brother Lin handed me the wine bag, rubbed his fluffy beard, and laughed very affectionately.
"Master, Yi Zi, the two of you are naturally sighing here, why don't you think about it? Just like those monks of Tianzhu Kingdom on the southern islands, they went deep into the wilderness, saved sentient beings and taught people to be good! Crossing others and crossing oneself is immeasurable merit! ”
Tian Bo was greeting the guys on duty that day to prepare breakfast for everyone, and when he heard the sighs of Brother Lin and me, he also interjected a few words.
In fact, along the way, the natives of the desert island sea country have really learned a lot from us.
Whether it is shipbuilding, winemaking, or the art of gold and stone, it is not only for their own livelihood, but also invisibly to save the natives of the Southern Wilderness.
Therefore, what Tian Bo said is exactly what I want.
"What Tian Bo said is reasonable! According to the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, the Buddha's compassion allowed us to pass through the vast sea of suffering safely. We will go to the sembracles on the island and lead them out of the wilderness, and that will be the fruit. Such a causal cycle is not at all unpleasant! ”
I sat down and talked about the Dharma with the people.
As everyone knows, cause and effect are also empty!
"Brother Xian, the book of sages is not as much read as you are! That's it, anyway, we're going to stay on this Purple Smoke Island for a few months, how to save these Japanese natives but rely on the virtuous brother to decide! As a brother, I want people to contribute to their strength, what do you think? ”
Brother Lin smiled slyly, and took the opportunity to press the burden of a thousand catties on my shoulders.
"Big brother has an order, and he will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths!"
I got up solemnly and bowed my hand to Brother Lin to receive the order.
"Hahaha! You and my brothers in life and death are still so polite! ”
Brother Lin had already stood up from the bow of the boat as he spoke, ready to solemnly announce this matter to everyone.
"Yizi! Everyone is in a hurry to return home, and we can only stay here until March next spring at most! Can this beautiful thing be accomplished in such a short period of time? Don't mess up the good deeds and ruin each other's tranquility! ”
Originally, it was only planned to spend the winter on this purple smoke island, and did not interfere with the local natives.
In addition, all the guys are now worth a net worth of ten thousand gold, and they also want to do some good deeds.
So although everyone didn't object, they still had a lot of concerns.
"Big brother, brothers! Do good deeds and do your best, not a hard errand, you don't need to worry! Hehe! ”
In response to Lin Hu's questioning, I spread my hands and smiled.
Another guy stepped forward and asked, "Yizi!" Do you have a specific plan for how to do it? ”
"There are a lot of trivial matters, and we need the help of all our brothers to get it done! To sum up, it is eight words of grace and power at the same time, changing customs! ”
Since the pre-Qin period, the Chinese ancestors have made great contributions to colonization and pioneering, so that countless indigenous people have become naturalized into the new dynasty.
And the indigenous people on this Purple Smoke Island, I heard Brother Lin say that the total is only more than two hundred.
The art of teaching the stomach, the law of teaching humanity.
It shouldn't be too difficult to lead them out of the wild world and towards an enlightened civilization.
