Chapter 472: Seventy-two Island Chains
(Cat flutter Chinese)
"Wei Wuji is an immortal, you dare to speak wildly." The kid next to him said angrily, and the others also seemed to have anger on their faces, it seemed that Wei Wuji's image was already very tall.
The more their survival is challenged, the more people yearn for the protection of the gods, but are they really protected by these people?
Of course, Wei Wuji has mastered the technique of the Rejuvenation Pill, and if everyone wants to seek immortality, he will naturally become a god.
"It's just a defeated man, get out!" I said, after so many years, I have been too lazy to get angry, too lazy to talk to them.
"This mermaid island is guarded by us, there are 80,000 people living there, you better leave quickly, otherwise you ......"
"Get out!" I glared back at them and screamed.
"You ......" Before the bald man could say anything, he found that all the grass on the ground had dried up, and they were so frightened that their faces turned even pale, and their foreheads were sweating.
"This ...... What's going on? A guy next to me looked at me in horror.
"Don't say it...... Let's go ......" several people pulled out their ice arrows, barely stood up, supported each other, and hurriedly rushed into the woods.
Zhang Peng looked at the back of the clansmen leaving, and could only shake his head and sigh. I ignored them, walked to a higher hillside, looked at the sea in the distance, erected a tall mermaid stone statue, straight to the sky, there are a few fishing boats are rowing over to worship at the moment, the direction of this mermaid stone statue is this island, and then take a closer look, there is a row of islands on the left and right of mermaid islands, lined up in a line, between the islands, there is a long chain bridge, about 100 meters, people come and go.
"Seventy-two islands are connected by chain bridges to form a chain of islands that make it easy for people to trade and earn a living." Zhang Peng said.
"Who's in charge?"
"Each island should have a manager, each of them is the king, each island is attached to the Immortal Realm, in general, it is managed by the Wuyue Immortal Realm, just like this Mermaid Island is attached to Wei Wuji, and he will collect taxes."
"Who is in charge of the Five Peaks Immortal Realm?"
"Heavenly Master's Mansion." Zhang Peng replied.
"500,000 people raise 500,000 people, how to raise? They also have to support their families and children. ”
"Ten-year-old children have gone out to fish, or farming, and now education is very slow, and many people choose to make a living, or work hard to obtain the elixir of longevity, and enter the Wuyue Gate, which is a new rule of the game. When the merfolk built the islands, they opened up plenty of fresh water for each island, so as long as they are willing to do it, it is not a problem to live, and lazy people will be blacklisted and have nowhere to live. "Looking back at Mermaid Island, sure enough, there are dense houses everywhere, mostly wooden houses and grass houses, and there are also a lot of people, Mermaid Island is still very large, I haven't visited it before, there are primeval forests everywhere, and now there are not many trees, after all, so many people have to live, and there is smoke curling everywhere, presumably they all live by burning firewood, but how long can this last?
Only on the top of the mountain peak is a tall brick house, about five or six floors, with dense windows and white walls that are very conspicuous, and it is very well built.
"That's the residence of the Demon Hunters, they're in charge of taking care of the island, and they've grown to three hundred people, all living in that big house." We walked along the small river towards the big house, this river should be the main source of water, many people go up the mountain to fetch water, no matter what the world becomes, life is the most important thing.
People are still talking and laughing, and they don't know what the world will be like in the future.
"Have you heard, the Wang family next door to you gave birth to a child, and he has cheeks behind his ears." A few aunts in coarse cloth clothes were washing clothes by the water, chatting.
"It's good to have long cheeks, so you don't have to worry about running out of food in the future, and you can be free in the water."
"It's not a good thing that there are a lot of things in the sea, and those who drown are people who know how to water."
"What's more?"
"Hell, haven't you heard, someone has been swimming in the sea before and didn't come up."
"Is it a youkai? Or a water ghost? ”
"I don't know, it's better to go to Gotoyama Mountain, it's said to be very safe there."
"It's not something we can think about, it's just a place for immortals."
"Hey, it's a day, who told us that the man we found was useless." The young man next to him, who had buried his head in the water, saw the red fish gills behind his ears, and he came out of the water and said angrily
"The man is useful, and you dislike him for having three wives and four concubines, and you say it's useless if it's useless, your daughter has a lot of things."
"You lazy donkey, don't go fishing with your father, what are you fighting with our old ladies? It's better to be a concubine than to worry about eating every day now! ”
"Who's interested in bickering with you? When I go to the immortal realm and join the door of Wei Shenxian, I will take ten daughters-in-law, and if a woman dares to gossip, she will break her mouth. With your appearance, you are only worthy of cleaning the toilet for me. After the young man finished speaking, he went upstream to fetch two buckets of clean water, and left with him, and when he passed by us, he glanced back at Ling'er, and almost tripped over a stone.
"Come on, just like you, it's still in the Immortal Realm, it's good if you can go to the Demon Hunter Clan to get an errand."
"Today's young people are really not big or small."
"We people are useless, it is said that for more than a hundred years, the status of women is very high."
"At that time, it was the age of mental power, and now it is the age of physical strength, which is different." After the woman finished speaking, she looked at a few of us, probably because she felt angry, but she quickly focused her attention on Ling'er.
"Look at this woman, she has fine skin and tender flesh, and she is also good-looking, and she must have never done any farm work."
"It seems to be an outsider." The woman shouted at us
"Did you go to the house to register?" Ling'er looked at her and asked
"What's the record?"
"Newcomers must register, otherwise they will not be allowed to stay overnight on the island." Ling'er ignored her, turned around and left. The woman was still in her energy, put down her mallet, and got up to catch up with us.
"A few, I didn't register, I was caught by the island patrol team of the demon hunters, but I want to go to prison, why don't I take you to register, I have someone I know there, just give me some broken gold." The woman smiled, about forty years old, with dark skin and freckles, and traces of hard work could be seen on her face.
Ling'er didn't want to pay attention to her, I said
"I'm sorry, we're running out of gold, thank you for your kindness." The woman's eyes had been staring at Ling'er before, but now she looked at me in tattered clothes, and her pants knew her calves, she rolled her eyes at me, and said angrily
"There's not much gold left, I don't think you have any gold, leave before dark, or go to prison and stay there." I dragged Ling'er away, wasting some time with her, just to take the opportunity to slaughter a foreigner.
In front of the building of the demon hunters, it was really busy, people came and went at the door, there was a sign outside, various departments, population management, taxation, patrolling, into the courtyard to see, there was actually a stone statue of Wei Wuji, there was a look, Zhang Peng said that it was better to go in and register, so as not to cause trouble, and if there was no registration, you may not be able to live in the hotel, I nodded and agreed.
"You, the sword-bearer of the demon hunting clan, are really a wretch!" I laughed.
"Hey, it doesn't matter, I can't get these things, so be it, I won't give them the Victory Evil Sword." After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he handed the Sword of Victory to Jun Na and wrapped it in black cloth.
At this time, I saw a wooden sign at the door that said Wei Daxian Cave.
"What the hell is this?" I muttered.
"I don't know, I haven't visited it, it seems to be the place where Wei Wuji made alchemy back then."
"Is that the old boy the elixir he refined on Mermaid Island?" I asked, confused.
"That's right, it's a pity that this mermaid island is too big, it's all primeval forest, we didn't find it earlier, you remember, three hundred years ago, that time he took the rejuvenation pill outside the island, it should be hiding in a cave on this island, refining the elixir." Zhang Peng analyzed.
"Grass, could it be the corpse research institute?"
"What corpse institute?" Zhang Peng asked puzzled. I have been to that place alone, that is, the place where I found the unknown old man, I told Zhang Peng, but maybe it was too long, he couldn't remember it for a while, unlike me, in the realm of eternal night, three hundred years, I lived by remembering the past, and Qingqing also wrote me a diary to pass the time.
Thinking of that diary, I miss Qingqing again, she doesn't know where it is, looking at this endless island chain, where to find her, I don't know how much she has suffered over the years, here to the prison law mountain, if it is by the current navigation technology, I am afraid it will never arrive, she probably spends the pain of missing her son.
"You go register first, and we'll check it out later." Zhang Peng went in with gold from Ma Junna, and he said that there was a fee for registering for the night, and it was really a goose plucking.
After a while, he turned to look at me again,
"Real name, or pseudonym?"
"Just use our real names, if Qingqing and Qingling know about us, maybe they will find out." I say.
Zhang Peng shook his head,
"It's useless, I lived on Mermaid Island for a while in order to find Qingling, and Zhang Heiyi didn't trouble me, but Qingling didn't find it."
"Let's go first." I say. We are here to find someone this time, we have already clashed with the people of the demon hunter clan just now, and now it is estimated that it is too late to change the name, Mermaid Island is under their control, it is so big, and the registration system is implemented, it is really easy to find us.
These seventy-two island chains are so closely linked, I'm afraid our whereabouts are about to be exposed, but it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of anyone now.
Soon Zhang Peng came out with four passes, saying that he had received a gold bar, mainly because we did not have passes for other islands, and people from outside the seventy-two island chains came to take refuge, and they had to go through strict review, and our passes were only half a month, and they had to be re-applied when they expired.
"Is there anyone else besides the Seventy-Two Islands?" I asked.
"There should be, we are not the only country in the world, there are foreigners in these seventy-two island chains, and there are also Japanese and South Korean, but now they all speak Chinese." Cat flutter Chinese
