When the news was delivered to Nangong's house, everyone was like five thunderbolts. Nangong Lie looked at Hui'er, who was almost crying until he fainted, and fell into deep remorse! It was their mistake!

Nangong said worriedly: "Third brother, if the fourth brother and the two children of the Su family come back and learn about it, I'm afraid it will ......."

Lingwu lay monk is the lay son of Sanqingguan, before the Wansheng Taoist entered the Tao, the two had a dusty relationship. Later, although the sky was different, but the love was deep, Nangong Yu also entrusted the two brothers and sisters of Su Yu and Su Gu to her to take care of, and studied medical skills with her.

"The other party's intention is to disturb us." Nangong Lie's heart felt as if he had been hit by a boulder, and he sighed: "There shouldn't be many people who can accurately grasp every move of the Spirit Enlightenment Layman. The most important thing right now is to find this person out! Otherwise, it will be a great disaster in the future! ”

"What does the third brother mean is that there are fine works in the Sanqing Temple?"

"It may not be the Three Qingguan, but it can't rule out this possibility." Nangong Lie pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor Ming's power is not weaker than ours, and it began to infiltrate everywhere many years ago, and no one can guarantee the absolute safety of the people around him. We can only try our best to investigate. Before Gongsun Lan's little girl left, let us pay careful attention to the movements of the third princess and that Yan Hong, were we too negligent? ”

"Who would have thought that they would take the idea of the Enlightened Layman by such a surprise? The flotilla only left Kyoto on the front foot, and the back foot started with it. ”

Nangong Lie frowned and said, "What I'm more worried about now is the safety of the fourth brother at sea......"

……

The moon is as clear as a cicada's wings, looming behind the gray clouds, occasionally casting a little light on the calm, dark sea.

Gongsun Lan and the others have been sailing at sea for ten days, but fortunately, the road is calm and the weather is very good. Business at sea is always a world of danger and opportunity, and a shipload of seafood can be exchanged for a shipload of gold and silver if it can be safely returned to land. Therefore, even if the danger far outweighs the opportunity, there are countless people who go to sea one after another to explore.

In the past ten days, Gongsun Lan did not disclose any news to everyone, and only let the ships move towards the deep sea, and many people could not hold back, and there were even a few small-scale riots.

After all, except for some people borrowed from the Nangong family and the Gongsun family, most of them were merchants, and they were businessmen who had been on the sea all year round, and there were many robbers and bandits. These people are experienced seafarers, but they are not easy to fiddle with. Although the Nangong family paid a high price to hire them to go out to sea, they could not simply follow orders, and the businessmen would not let go of any opportunity to make money.

So in the past ten days, many people have been unable to sit still. But there is no shortage of capable people from Nangong's family who are good at negotiating, and they appeased everyone with their incorruptible tongues.

This time to go to sea, Nangong and Gongsun seconded a lot of good hands, which is the condition for Wansheng Dao people to treat Gongsun Tu's illness. In fact, no matter how you look at this matter, the Gongsun family will not suffer, and they can take this opportunity to explore the reality of the Nangong family. Therefore, when Wansheng Daoren proposed this condition, Gongsun Qifeng was very surprised, but he agreed directly without thinking about it.

In fact, the Nangong family really needs these manpower very much, because the old and the young in the Nangong clan are very young, and the backbone is extremely lacking, so they don't dare to use it easily.

"Girl, there is an island in front of you, it doesn't seem to be small." For convenience, Wansheng Daoist restored his original name Nangong Hai when he went to sea this time. He walked up to Gongsun Lan and whispered.

"Inform everyone that we are going to dock the boat."

As soon as they heard that they were going to the island, many people went up to the deck to look at the island in front of them. The moon was bright tonight, and the ship was not far from the island, and everyone could clearly see the outline of the island in front of them, which was indeed not small, and it seemed to be densely wooded. One of the sailors said: "It's too dangerous to go to the island at night. ”

Many of the people on the boat were very experienced, and one of them immediately chimed in: "There must be wild beasts on this island, and this is not a good time to go to the island, so it is better to wait here until tomorrow morning." ”

On the contrary, the people from the Gongsun family were very calm, and they kept silent about everything, just waiting for the people from the Nangong family to speak.

Gongsun Lan chuckled and said, "Don't be impatient. ”

When everyone saw the pretty little boy speak, they all quieted down for a while to listen to her. At first, some rough men were still disrespectful and laughed at each other, until she hammered an eight-foot man unconscious, and everyone didn't dare to stir up trouble easily.

Gongsun Lan exchanged glances with Yang Zhen, who was wearing a silver mask beside him, and then said: "The deep-sea island is inaccessible, and there is no shortage of rare treasures and medicinal materials, looking at the size of this island, I am afraid that there are also those that have grown for thousands of years. As for whether there are other things, you are all experienced Haimenzi, and the value of this island, you should all know it in your hearts. ”

"We have hired you with money, but we have no intention of restricting your freedom or hindering your wealth. You can do as much as you want, provided that you don't get in the way of what we do! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately became excited, and began to exchange glances with the people around them, and exchanged in a low voice.

Gongsun Lan looked at everyone's different expressions lightly, and said calmly: "The purpose of the Nangong family's trip to sea this time is to find a few herbs, and I won't hide them from you, one of which is to pick them at night. Therefore, if you want to go to the island with us at this time, you must obey our arrangement, otherwise, you will lose your life in danger, don't blame me for not saying ugly things in advance. In addition, if anyone feels dangerous and wants to wait for tomorrow to go to the island, we will not stop them, but we cannot guarantee your safety. ”

The faces of the people on the boat were different, most of them were three-minded and nine-rated, their eyes and ears were all very bright, and they naturally knew what the two families of Nangong and Gongsun meant. But at sea, it is completely different from the land, and in the past, there were also noble descendants who followed them to the sea to do business.

It is not unheard of that people are secretly thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Therefore, on this trip to the sea, these people did not take this group of family children to heart. No matter what princes and nobles, as long as they go to the sea, they are not left to their own devices.

In the past ten days, however, they have noticed the difference between this group of people. The two sons, one tall and one short, as well as Nangong Hai's strength, made them dare not make a mistake like usual. Especially the pretty little boy who is talking now, he always has a full evil spirit. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a smiling murderer.

Seeing that the ship had docked, Gongsun Lan smiled and asked, "Have you all thought about it?" ”

A man with a big waist and a round forehead with a scar on the front was the first to say, "I'll go with you!" ”

One person started at the beginning, and many of them said they wanted to go together. A wine and meat monk led his little apprentice, very conspicuous, and said with a smile: "The monk is also going." ”

In the end, half of them followed Gongsun Lan and they got off the boat. The people of Nangong and Gongsun's family left half of their men on the ship just in case.

The sound of the night tide seemed to hit the heart, making everyone who was originally excited hold themselves and become cautious.

Before entering the forest, Gongsun Lan warned again: "At night, wild beasts and poisonous insects are infested, and there are many poisonous plants and trees, so everyone should be careful." My son will never hide his selfishness, so when I meet herbs and other things, I say pick it, I say don't touch it, don't touch it, if someone disobeys, there is any change, this son is not responsible! ”

No one answered, some looked solemn and thoughtful, others were unimpressed. Gongsun Lan didn't say anything more, and walked towards the dense forest with Yang Zhen one after the other.

There are almost no rocks in the forest, it is full of grass and trees, and there are no roads. The torches are not very useful in the forest at night, they only illuminate the eyes, and from time to time someone trips over the thick vines and makes a curse sound.

After walking for about half an hour, the grass and trees became denser and denser, and the speed of the crowd became slower. Some people began to complain about why they should listen to Gongsun Lan's words. At this time, a few bright lights suddenly appeared in front of him, and someone said in a suppressed voice: "What is that?" ”

Someone was delighted: "Could it be a luminous stone?" Or is it orange-red, a fine luminous stone? ”

After the luminous stone is polished, it is the pearl of the night, which is priceless and can be called a rare treasure.

"Don't act rashly, there are few stones on the road ahead, how can there be luminous stones here? And there is no sound of insects here, which is probably weird. ”

The man in the short shirt sneered and said, "What the hell is a hairy boy, he doesn't understand anything!" With that, he groped his way forward, and a few people behind him moved their minds and slowly followed.

Gongsun Lan and Yang Zhen stood in place and watched coldly. The others also took a wait-and-see attitude, after all, although they had been to a few islands, they were not deep seas, and the islands were not so big.

The man in the short shirt held the torch in his hand, getting closer and closer to the orange-red fluorescence, and suddenly he saw the light flicker, and his footsteps stopped in place to look closely, and the light flickered again. He raised his hand to rub his eyes, only to hear Gongsun Lan suddenly remind: "Retreat!" ”

In the dense forest in the middle of the night, everyone suddenly heard the sound of warning, and their hairs suddenly rose. Before he could react, he saw the torch of the man in the short shirt reflecting a huge furry face, like a spider but not like a spider, almost as tall and short as an adult, and the orange-red fluorescence was its eyes!

The large and small orange and red fluorescence all began to flicker, and the man in the short shirt screamed in fright, turned around and wanted to run. The torch fell to the ground without his hand, and instantly ignited something, and there was a smell of burning. The few people who were originally following him were on fire and could clearly see that a sharp chela-like thing pierced the body of the shirt pole, and the other chelated angrily tore apart his head and body, and the smell of blood was permeating.

Seeing this, several people retreated like crazy, but they couldn't see where Gongsun Lan and their team had retreated. The thing behind him threw away the body of the man in the short shirt, and let out a rapid strange scream, as if very angry chased after them, and the ignited hair was also extinguished in the crawling, and for a moment only the sound of rustling behind him could be heard......

Give somebody the creeps!
