Chapter 403: Xianlai Island, Sea Demon Beach
In response to my question, the old man in Tai Chifu shook his head and said Don't look at the old lady who is already very old, but don't forget that their family's identity is a witch doctor.
In that era, although the society was in turmoil, the invaders and various warlord forces were fighting and separating, and there were many charlatans, any family that could be called a witch doctor or a family that had experienced the rise and fall of several generations before and after definitely had some ability.
Besides, the old lady also got a dragon ball, and no one can say the magic of this dragon ball, so it can't be guessed by ordinary people's standards.
"Why did the old lady you said come to this deserted island in the East China Sea? Is it to avoid the family's traceability, or to marry into seclusion on this island? ”
Zhou Tianming asked.
The old man said that because his identity as a client is not ordinary, he belongs to one of the top chaebols in South Korea, so he has spent a lot of money to search for clues over the years, and there are many things worth pondering.
According to the information they currently have, this desert island has not existed since ancient times, and the first recorded appearance was in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
The local official chronicle recorded: "Goryeo River is near, and there is an island that is suddenly seen." Overlying the forest mountain, its shape is like a shell. ”
Legend has it that the island was alive when it first appeared, and some fishermen noticed that it moved, but they didn't know if it was true or not. The island is full of fog or miasma, and from a distance it looks like a fairyland, so it is called "Xianlai Island".
Although the Qing Dynasty was already the last swan song of the feudal ruling class, its history was nearly 300 years, and the records at that time were mostly deductive. In addition, the court is mediocre and incompetent, and the common people are suffering, and it is the norm to place their faith in the gods.
This so-called movable island is very likely to be a rumor, and it is not entirely believed that people are saying it.
Although it is called "Senrai Island", no one has dared to visit the island.
This is because the fishermen's boats at that time were backward, all of them were small wooden boats, and the navigation itinerary was limited; Second, it is located on the border of China's waters, which is prone to disputes, so no one wants to come here to fish.
There is a kind of "can be seen from a distance but not blasphemed" flavor.
Until nearly a hundred years later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a group of vicious pirates were captured by the government, and they should be beheaded according to the law. However, the pirate leader used the gold and silver accumulated over the years to buy off the government, and finally received a total exile.
And their place of exile is this "Xianlai Island" that no one cares about.
There were quite a few pirates in this group, nearly a hundred, and even more with their respective families. They established a village on this deserted island and became its inhabitants.
The island is different from the land, in addition to feeding on fish, shrimp and many seafoods, you can also dry the sea salt by yourself, and this group of people is originally an outlaw who licks blood at the tip of a knife, and has a strong ability to survive, so they can be completely self-sufficient.
The record of the desert island seems to have been broken at this point.
Time has passed, and in the era of the Republic of China, when warlords were fighting, the legend of "Xianlai Island" has become more and more again.
First of all, some nearby fishermen claimed to have encountered monsters when they went out to sea to fish, saying that these monsters were human-faced fish bodies, and they shuttled freely in the sea, blocking fishing boats and eating living human flesh and blood, which is the legendary "East China Sea shark people".
With the rise of this rumor, fishermen began to disappear one after another, and there were even several strange incidents of jumping into the sea due to madness.
Therefore, some people say that this is the pirate rebellion on the "Xianlai Island", they are isolated from the world, I don't know what kind of curse they have suffered, and since then they have become half-human and half-fish, making waves on the sea.
This kind of legend has been passed down in the local area for decades, and the years have changed.
At this point, the original name of "Xianlai Island" has gradually been forgotten, and under the shaping of various horror stories from time to time, it has finally evolved into the "Sea Devil Beach" that everyone talks about today.
Despite the horror legends, fishermen still have to make a living by begging for the sea.
Fishing at sea is a high-risk occupation, and the probability of shipwrecks and casualties is not low.
In addition, the distance between "Sea Devil Beach" and the surrounding area is extremely far, and it is located on the boundary line of the sea area, so it is difficult to attribute it to "monsters" simply because of the "monsters".
After the birth of New China, it cracked down on all feudal superstitious thoughts, fought against heaven and earth, and established the authority of the people's political support. Therefore, the terrifying legend of "Sea Demon Beach" is only circulated in the local area, and it is summarized as a "strange story".
With the process of reform and opening up and the rise of tourism in coastal cities, a large number of tourists have flocked here, and they are most interested in all kinds of horror legends and adventures.
Sea Devil Beach could have become a popular tourist attraction, but the local fishermen were so convinced of the horror lore that no one wanted to venture there.
As a result, "Sea Demon Beach" was forced to become a place of no one's attention, and was soon replaced by other fast-paced and more varied island tours.
Even so, in recent years, there have been people who have disappeared after landing on the island, and officials have conducted investigations, but have not found any clues.
The words of the old man in Tai Chi Fu reminded me of those two mysterious people.
They do have scales on their bodies, which is true to the legend. But where exactly did this scale come from? Is it really a curse or is there another mystery?
The two Koreans who disappeared this afternoon, they were attacked by a black shadow that emerged from the sea, and the body of the mysterious person eventually disappeared into the sea, all of which seem to be related to the legendary monster that can come and go freely in the water.
But no matter what, I can be sure that the mysterious man is definitely not the "East China Sea Shark Man". The East China Sea shark is like a human but not a human, but an animal, and its juvenile form is a water monkey with long black hair.
Whether they are young or adults, they do not have the ability to communicate with people. The two mysterious men who committed suicide and disappeared could speak, and they were obviously human, but they had undergone some kind of mutation.
"This is a deserted village, where are the pirates and residents?"
The orange cat glanced at the deserted village behind the camp and asked suspiciously. The village was quiet, swarthy, and silent in the night.
"Didn't you say they all turned into monsters with fish scales? Maybe I'm back in the sea to live......"
Komaruko analysis.
Zhou Tianming was obviously not interested in the legend of the desert island, he asked the old man in Taijifu, saying that you said so much about the origin of the desert island, what does this have to do with the old lady and Dragon Ball you are looking for?
"We interviewed a lot of local elders on Flying Cliff Island, and it is said that there have always been traces of human life on this desert island, and the smoke rising from the island can often be seen from fishing boats......
The old man in Tai Chi clothes frowned.
"Judging from the information we have, the client's sister probably came to the island in the fifties of the last century, and it is from this time period that the island seems to have been gradually abandoned......"
