According to the news heard, the powerful and wealthy sects and the powerful Xiaoyao Sanxiu have occupied the advantageous position of the Bamboo Needle Islands, and only the southeast and southwest corners are missing because of the large number of volcanoes. However, it is also possible to get to the island, but it is also a little difficult, and it is also because those people think that Yao Mingyuan will not put his grave in danger and give it up voluntarily. The heavenly thunder and earth fire contain the power of the Heavenly Dao Huanghuang, which has been terrifying since ancient times, and it is irresistible to non-peerless cultivators, and naturally it is not controllable by the Great Array.

The two originally planned to stay for a few more days, but they didn't expect the Bamboo Needle Islands incident to have such a big impact and spread so widely, and they collected all the information they wanted in one meal, and as for the details, I am afraid that it is useless to inquire about them, it is all hearsay. Moreover, the people have already landed on the island and have begun to break the formation, and if they delay any longer, the daylilies will be cold. So decided to stay for one night and then started looking for a boat to the island at dawn.

Although it is a bit reckless, there is no perfect plan for this trip, and it is a battle of luck to be prepared in my heart. Whether Li Cao becomes a dragon or climbs the ground as a snake depends on this dispute.

When twilight came, Zu Zhenlin asked Xiao Er to bring the food to the house. Xiao Er saw that there was an opportunity to be courteous, so he hurriedly brought the meal over.

Zu Zhenlin took out two coins of silver, and when Xiao Er saw it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, proud of his foresight.

"Man, there's something I'd like to ask you about. Of course, whether you know it or not, I'll give you this money. Zu Zhenlin said.

Xiao Er bowed down and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Childe, I promise to know everything and say everything." ”

"Okay, I'd like to ask you, where can I find the boatman?" asked Zu Zhenlin.

"Do you want to rent a boat and boat on the lake? Then you can be regarded as asking the right person, we have three shipyards here, Master Li's boat layout is the most exquisite, Master Zhao's house is the most spacious, Li Laosi's family is the cheapest, of course, it is relatively the most simple, I think the two sons are not looking down. If you choose the boat of Master Li's house, Gongzi can go out of the east gate and go straight along the southeast path, and you can see Bai Huajin. If you choose Zhao Ye's boat, Gongzi has to go farther away, to the south city gate, after leaving the city, go straight to the south, you can see the ferry. If the two sons are troublesome, the younger one can lead the way, but I have to talk to our shopkeeper. Xiao Er suddenly became mysterious, "If the two sons feel lonely, they can actually find a few beauties to travel together, it's not a small bragging, our women in Yuezhou City ......"

Seeing him getting farther and farther away, Zu Zhenlin hurriedly interrupted: "We don't need women, we just want to rent a boat out of the lake." But do you still have boats to rent for these three of you?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "There should be, right? Why don't I run for the two sons tomorrow to confirm if there is a boat?"

"Forget it, let's go and see for ourselves, where is the shipyard of the Li Laosi family you mentioned?" Zu Zhenlin asked.

"Li Laosi's house is not far from Bai Huajin, so it will be a little downstream to arrive. Xiao Er was a little deflated.

"Apart from them, where else are the ships?" asked Zu Zhenlin.

"Then you have to go farther, almost to the mouth of the lake, there is a big ferry nearby, called Saorijin, but there are many boats that transport goods and fish, and there are not many pleasure boats. Xiao Er explained.

Zu Zhenlin secretly thought about it, now at this time, I am afraid that the cruise ships and painting boats have been rented, so I can only go to Saolijin to hire a fishing boat.

"That...... Two sons, can the younger one have more words?" Xiao Er asked hesitantly.

"You say. Zu Zhenlin said with a smile.

"It sounds like the two sons didn't come to Yuezhou City for boating, is it related to the Bamboo Needle Islands, which have been talked about the most recently?" Xiao Er asked cautiously.

Zu Zhenlin nodded, "Yes, our brothers are a little curious and want to go to the island to have a look." ”

Xiao Er kindly persuaded: "Oh, the two sons listen to me, that place is really nothing to see, it is very dangerous, I heard that the island is full of ground fire, and there are also in the water, and if you are not careful, there will be no bones." And a lot of people have gone recently, and they are so fierce that they can't be provoked. ”

As he spoke, he touched his cheek with palpitations.

"You've heard that there are fires everywhere on the island, so someone has been on the island before?" Zu Zhenlin asked keenly.

Xiao Ermu nodded, "Yes, there are fishermen who will go there to fish." ”

When Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao heard this, they were shocked, and then they were happy, "Do you know them?"

"I know, they will send three red fish to our store every spring, and one will cost fifteen taels of silver, and I will be obedient. It's still because of acquaintance, otherwise it wouldn't be our turn to be at the inn. Oh, Childe may not understand, our daughter-in-law has three unique in the lake, bamboo needle red fish, barren mountain red crab, parrot jade turtle, among which the most expensive and delicious is still red fish, not to mention eating, just smell it......"

Xiao Er saw that Zu Zhenlin and they were not interested, so he closed his mouth knowingly.

"Can you take me to them? If you do, I'll not only give you these two coins of silver, but also add one or two, how about it?" Zu Zhenlin asked.

Xiao Er's face was full of disbelief, "Childe said to give me one or two more?"

Zu Zhenlin nodded.

Xiao Er didn't wait to agree as he imagined, and confirmed again, "Is Childe really going to the Bamboo Needle Islands?"

Zu Zhenlin nodded again.

"I don't know if Gongzi has hundreds of taels of silver?" Xiao Er asked solemnly.

Although Zu Zhenlin was puzzled, he still nodded.

"If you want to have a smooth trip, you have to pay a lot of money to invite the experienced old fisherman, I know that there is an old man who has been fishing red fish for twenty or thirty years, but now people are at home for a long time, please don't invite it to see the ability of the two sons." Xiao Er said truthfully.

Zu Zhenlin handed the two coins of silver to Xiao Er and said, "Please take us to find someone at dawn tomorrow, and I will explain to your shopkeeper." By the way, what's your name?"

"Childe just call me Zhao San. Xiao Er replied.

After Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao finished eating, Zhenlin went to the shopkeeper to settle the bill and gave an extra ten taels to explain his intentions. The shopkeeper naturally loves money, and he agreed, and called Zhao San over and gave him some advice.

In the morning light, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao got up to wash and found that Zhao San was already waiting outside the door early. After washing, he took Zhao San to have breakfast together, and then went out on the road.

Zhao San led the way, went out of the East City Gate, and walked downstream along the Pujiang River, but after walking for an hour, he left the riverside. Near noon, the three of them came to a fishing village, and smoke rose from every house.

Entering the village, Zhao San scratched his head and muttered, "I've followed the shopkeeper's visit for many years, let me think about it, oh, here." ”

Coming to a big mansion, Zu Zhenlin went up and patted the door knocker, and soon a young man opened the door and walked away, found that he didn't know him, and said politely: "May I ask what is the matter with the son?"

Zu Zhenlin clenched his fists and said, "Our brother has something important to visit Master Liu, and the little brother is troublesome." ”

The young man didn't make it difficult, "Wait a minute, those three, I'll go and tell my master." ”

He closed the door, turned and ran into the courtyard. It didn't take long for the young man to run back again, open the door, and invite Zu Zhenlin and the three of them into the courtyard.

When he came to the hall, an old man came out, this man was five short figures, strong and stout, and his arms were bulging with his sleeves. The old man was followed by a middle-aged man, slightly taller, and the same powerful force.

"The two sons have never been masked, so I don't know what to do with the little old man?" asked Old Man Liu bluntly.

Zu Zhenlin saw that the old man was refreshed, and he didn't beat around the bush, so he bowed down and saluted: "The two of us want to invite the old man out of the mountain and take us to Zhuzhen Island." As for the price? ”

"The two sons, please take a seat first. Old man Liu said.

The four of them sat down, and the next person set the tea.

Old Man Liu pondered for a moment, "Recently, I heard that Bamboo Needle Island is very lively, and seeing that the two sons are not dressed like ordinary people, I wonder if you can tell Xiao Lao'er what is going on?"

"That's not necessary, even if I say it, I'm afraid the old man won't understand. Zu Zhenlin refused.

"If I don't know each other and refuse Childe, I wonder if you will force it?" asked Old Man Liu with a smile.

The old man joked, it was a sale, of course, it was a discussion. If it really doesn't work, we can only ask Gao Ming, how can we force it?" Zu Zhenlin replied.

"I wonder how much silver Gongzi is willing to pay?" asked Old Man Liu seriously.

"We're going to the most dangerous place on Bamboo Needle Island, is the old man sure?" Zu Zhenlin reminded.

"How much silver is Childe willing to pay?" asked Old Man Liu confidently.

"Five hundred taels. ”

Old Man Liu laughed, "Five hundred taels is indeed not a small amount, but it is not much for me, so there is really no need to take risks." ”

"What about a thousand taels? If it doesn't work, is it okay to have ten thousand taels?" Zu Zhenlin said boldly.

The middle-aged man wanted to speak, but when he saw the sharp edge in his father's eyes, he didn't dare to say more.

"Childe is really not an idle person, in fact, I don't have any big ambitions, a little wealth is peace, and money is enough for me. I just want to ask for peace and longevity for my children and grandchildren, I don't know if my son agrees?" asked Old Man Liu.

Zu Zhenlin frowned slightly, and looked at Li Cao.

"I promise that they will never do anything wrong, and if anyone does something bad, no matter how big or small, they will be put to death. If there is a disobedience, then the son can destroy me. Old Man Liu said decisively.

"Daddy......" The middle-aged man wanted to speak and stopped.

"The old man is serious, and he can be punished appropriately. Zu Zhenlin said.

"So Childe agreed?" Old Man Liu said in surprise.

Zu Zhenlin nodded, "But we have to wait until we come back to teach." ”

"Of course. ”

"Departure today. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Okay, just listen to Childe. Old Man Liu said simply.

"I'm going to see off my friend and I'm going. ”

Old Man Liu watched the figures of the three disappear, and sat back on the chair, trembling all over, his hands covered with sweat.

"Dad, are you alright?" the middle-aged man said with concern.

Old Man Liu waved his hand and said softly, "Get ready for the boat, you go with me." ”

---

Sent out of the fishing village, there was no one around, Zu Zhenlin took out ten yuan and a tael of silver and handed it to Zhao San.

Zhao San didn't see Qian open, and asked, "Childe won't embarrass Master Liu and his family, right?"

"Rest assured, I'm not a bad person. Zu Zhenlin said with a smile.

"I believe in Childe, but I'll lead the way, there's too much silver. ”

Zu Zhen Linsey gave him, "Take it, you deserve it." ”
