The moon stars are scarce and sparkling.

Fishing boats sail with the wind and across the lake, and the sound of the water is endless. The ship is divided into two cabins, the front and rear, the layout is elegant, and it is clean. In order not to delay time, the Liu father and son rotated day and night. Old Man Liu lay in the cabin resting, so excited that he couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but think of the past more than ten years ago.

A boat fishing, also at night, the moon is in the sky, and there are immortals stepping on the waves. Old Man Liu was dumbfounded, and knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

The fairy laughed, invited him to drink with him, and ate the fish he had made unceremoniously without asking. What made Old Man Liu proud was that the immortals liked the food he cooked very much, but what made him helpless was that the immortals ate too much, and he was hungry.

The immortal was drunk and hazy, told him that he was a cultivator, not an immortal, and briefly explained what cultivation was. Finally, he looked at him, shook his head, and said that he was ugly, had poor qualifications, and was not suitable for cultivation. When leaving, he left ten taels of silver, and swam away in the wind, and there was a laugh in the air, "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a beautiful day, if it is a beautiful girl, I will consume a hundred years of cultivation, and I will also help her embark on the path of cultivation." ”

After so many years, I still remember it vividly, and my heart yearns for it. But I never mentioned it to others, including my family. I thought that a life would pass without medullness, a rich life, filial piety to my children and grandchildren, and happiness in my old age, but I still regret it in my heart.

This time, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao suddenly came to the door, and coupled with the rumors on Bamboo Needle Island, he concluded that the two of them were the cultivators that the immortals said they were. Because of more than ten years of longing, I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, so I boldly made a request. Of course, after being confirmed as a human being, although it is very unreliable, but he doesn't want to let go of this opportunity to benefit future generations, he has no qualifications, there should always be one of several grandchildren, right?

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I gave you a chance, I don't care about other things. Old Man Liu muttered.

---

The Bamboo Needle Islands are one of the five major islands in Yunmengze, there are hundreds of large islands, and the small ones are innumerable, but because of their fire, few people have set foot on them. There are strange trees growing on the island, the branches are like bamboo, there are hollow knots, but they are thicker than bamboo. The leaves are like long needles, about one to two feet, so they are called needle bamboo, but people are used to calling bamboo needle wood, and the archipelago is also named.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao didn't expect the archipelago to be so far away, and they gradually became anxious, drifting on the lake for nearly a month, and finally saw the shadow of the island, shrouded in a cloud and mist, hazy. Old Man Liu put away the sails and stopped moving forward.

Zu Zhenlin was puzzled, found the Liu father and son, and asked, "Why did the old man stop?"

Old Man Liu sniffed and smiled: "Don't worry, son, there will be a good show later." ”

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao glanced at each other, learned to sniff, and suddenly found that the unpleasant smell in the air had intensified, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

However, time passed, without the slightest wave, and after almost half an hour, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao's patience ran out, and they couldn't help but ask out loud.

Old Man Liu suddenly pointed to the island in front of him and shouted, "Childe, look." ”

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao hurriedly raised their heads, only to see a dazzling light in the distance, a loud noise, and then a pillar of fire rose into the sky, as high as a hundred zhang. The power of the earth fire is so powerful that it distorts the space and makes the scene illusory. Even more bizarre happened, a swarm of white moths danced around the pillar of fire, and their bodies gradually changed, colorful and beautiful. But after a while, the moth was gradually burned to the point of annihilation, and disappeared.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao saw such a magnificent moth fighting the fire for the first time, and they were shocked beyond measure.

The Liu father and son began to control the fishing boat forward, and Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao came back to their senses.

"Old man, shall we go over now? Won't we wait?" Li Cao asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Childe, that place is far away from here, and the fire and water can't flow. Old Man Liu said with a smile.

According to what Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao said, they went straight to the southeast corner of the Zhuzhen Islands, approaching the island, the water surface was surging, the heat was rising, and there were even fires beating on the water surface in many places.

Old Man Liu and his son looked solemn, although they had been here many times, but it was a matter of life and death, and they didn't dare to be sloppy. is worthy of being an old fisherman, who is not slow to operate the boat, and is handy. If the boat is like a fish, it shuttles back and forth in dangerous places, and there is no danger.

In the afternoon, the fishing boat docked and finally landed on a small island, which was only a few dozen feet away. The island was desolate, with only a few bits of green grass. Old Man Liu was sweating profusely and panting with exhaustion. My son is better, but he's also sweaty.

"Alas, it's not okay for people to be old. Old Man Liu sighed.

Zu Zhenlin took out the five hundred taels of silver that had been prepared from the storage ring and handed it to the old man, "Old man, this is five hundred taels of silver, you take it ......."

When Old Man Liu heard this, his expression was flustered, and he hurriedly said, "Childe, didn't we say it's okay?

Zu Zhenlin laughed, "Old man, you misunderstood, our brothers are good at what they say, and they will never go back." However, coming to this island can be said to be a matter of life and death, and neither of us knows if we will be able to go back alive. The old man waited for us on the water for thirty days as we said, and if you didn't see us here after thirty days, then go back and don't waste time. ”

"Childe, since we said it, then I can't accept this silver, it's not good to say......" Old Man Liu may have felt bad luck and didn't say it, "The two sons are blessed with good fortune, they must come true and return safely." ”

Zu Zhenlin saw that the old man had made up his mind, so he stopped inking, and took out rice grains and vegetables from the storage ring, "I don't want silver, it's always okay to leave these things to eat, right?"

The Liu father and son have seen the immortal method of conjuring things out of thin air many times, but they still feel amazing. The old man didn't refuse anymore and accepted the thing, "Childe must remember that when the strange smell in the air becomes as strong as before, it means that the earth fire is about to erupt, and hurry back to this small island." In my impression, this small island is the safest. ”

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao thanked them and said that they would keep them in mind. When he was on the boat, he asked the old man if there was anything to pay attention to, and under the advice of the elders, Old Man Liu had not set foot on the island deeply, and he didn't know the actual situation on the island, so he only said that he should be careful about the fire. He also said that seeing is believing and was impressed, so he didn't explain too much. After seeing it for yourself, it is sure to be unforgettable.

Watching the fishing boat drift away, the two turned around and looked at the endless archipelago.

"Now it's completely impossible to go back, and it's too late to regret it. Li Cao joked.

"Then our brothers will break into this Longtan tiger's den and see how dangerous it is. "Zu Zhenlin is arrogant and dry.

"Okay, the two of them are of the same heart, and the benefits are broken, and I will still get the spiritual root, and no one can scare me away. Li Cao said in high spirits.

The islands are not far from each other, and many of them are connected by roads, and the two of them followed the path and walked through three small islands. The two islands in front of them had nowhere to go, so the two of them ran the exercises, flew up, jumped over the water, and landed smoothly on the ground.

The island at your foot is different from the previous one, although it is still desolate, but there are a few bamboo needles growing and there is a heat wave blowing in your face. Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao walked forward and found a three-inch-wide magma stream flowing slowly into the lake. The bamboo needles are rooted next to the stream, and some of the roots are exposed to the air, extending into the magma unharmed. Seeing this, Zu and Li couldn't help but sigh at the miracle of heaven and earth.

The further you go in, the more magma streams there become, and the wider they become. Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao were cautious, cheering up their spirits, not daring to take a wrong step. Then came a small island, as desolate as the first island we set foot on, but without a trace of lava flowing.

"The island should also be safe. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Yes, if it's too late to return to the first island, we'll take refuge here. Li Cao agreed.

Walking ten zhang away, the vision changed suddenly, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, there was a height of one zhang, the blue-faced fanged heavenly demon looked up to the sky and roared, holding the corpse broken in two in his hand, and the blood kept spilling. There is a long demonic beast with red eyes, and a bloody man struggling to survive under the giant claws, and the blood in his mouth is dripping.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao were taken aback, and couldn't help but take a step back, and the scene immediately returned to normal, still on the island.

"There is no trace of aura fluctuations, there is no obstacle to advancing and retreating, it should be just a phantom array, I want to warn the intruder to leave quickly. Zu Zhenlin guessed.

"You guessed it right. Li Cao affirmed.

"Then let's keep walking?" asked Zu Zhenlin.

Li Cao nodded.

The two of them were not blindly arrogant, and the aura in their bodies flowed slowly, so that they could defend themselves at any time. Stepping into the formation again, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood reappeared, and there was a constant roar in his ears, but as guessed, there was no attack, just a superficial transformation formation.

After walking dozens of steps, the vision suddenly disappeared, showing the original face of the island, and a stone tablet was erected not far away, which was engraved with five big characters of 'Yao Mingyuan buried bones'. If you look closely, there is a small line next to it, 'Don't be quiet, don't disturb, or die'.

"Big brother, do you see? This old-timer is really ruthless, he doesn't leave us a way to live. Zu Zhenlin said with a smile.

"Alas, Senior Yao chose this place as the burial place, probably because he didn't want anyone to disturb the peace behind him. But with a heavy treasure, how can you not be coveted? Greed is hard to get rid of, it's all the same. Li Cao sighed.

"Not really, if he doesn't want people to know, won't no one know if he doesn't erect this stone monument? I think the seniors just want to scare off those who are not strong-willed, and don't want to waste good things. Zu Zhenlin said with relief.

"No matter what my predecessors thought before they were alive, I will never back down until now. If my predecessors are considerate and let me go to his coffin, I will definitely kneel and kowtow. "Li Cao cut the railway.
