Ding Qin was puzzled, "What is it?"

The man said in a lazy voice, "The first, the coffin." The price is two hundred. The second, shrouds, high, medium and low, each is one hundred, sixty, thirty. The third, the soul rope, a thousand. ”

Ding Qin couldn't help frowning. Isn't it unfortunate to sell these things in this inn? It's no wonder that this inn has an eerie feeling when it comes in.

"Why do you want to buy these things?" Although he was disgusted, out of strangeness, Ding Qin still asked.

The man said, "Nothing, practical." First, from here, or rather, from this lake, there are no boats to the island of Åland. Either you swim over on your own or use a boat. But no one builds and sells ships, and they don't want to get wet, so they can only use my coffin here. Moreover, those who go to Irland Island have only one in 12,000 chance of coming back alive, so they also find a home for themselves to prevent violent corpses from the wilderness in the future. ”

"Second, since you bought a coffin, you have the heart to die. If you have the heart to die, then why not let yourself die a little more decently? As soon as you walk the Huangquan Road, you must always resist the wind and dust. ”

"Third, the Soul Rope. Actually, what kind of soul rope is, in fact, is nothing more than a rope, a rope long enough. Once on the island, you can tie a rope around your waist and nail the other end to the ground. When you die on the island, I will go and look for it, and when I find the nails and ropes, I will pull your body back, put it in a coffin, and bury you. As for the funeral expenses, they are already included in the soul rope. ”

The head of what he said was the Tao, as if people came here, they were at the ghost gate. Ding Qin couldn't help but feel that the yin qi in this inn was heavier, and he couldn't help but feel excited. Finally, he shook his head, "Forget it, I won't buy it." ”

"Don't buy it?" the man's hoarse voice smiled slightly, "If you don't buy it at night, it will increase in price if you buy it in the morning." ”

"I don't buy it in the morning. Ding Qin said, paid off the house and meal money, picked up the key and went to the back.

When you go out of the hall, you have to cross a hallway, which is the row of guest rooms. The guest rooms are also very dilapidated, and there is no lighting, and they are basically groped by moonlight. Ding Qin opened a room in the center, found the lamp in it and lit it, found another lantern, went to the back kitchen, and sent the key to the front counter.

The hammock was still there, but the man didn't know where it had gone. The money paid by Ding Qin was piled up in the corner of the counter very casually, without any covering.

He put the key on the counter and returned to his room with the food he had found from the back kitchen. There was a faint musty smell in the room, but the beds were made quite neatly, but those bedding felt damp when touched by hand.

Ding Qin doesn't care much about whether the environment is hard or not. He opened the window and hung up the futon to dry while ventilating. After the musty smell in the house was basically gone, Ding Qin took out the steamed buns and pickles he took from the back kitchen and ate them slowly.

The nights here are surprisingly quiet. Except for the sound of water and the wind blowing through the leaves, there was hardly even the chirping of insects. Although he was going to set foot on this island that he had been hanging on for a long time tomorrow, Ding Qin's mood was surprisingly calm.

His instincts told him that he would make it back alive. But just then, his intuition also told him that even if he found Qingxinlan, he would not be able to recover his memory.

I don't know when, Ding Qin fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already dawn.

There are no birdsong here, so there isn't much of a morning atmosphere. Compared to the natural landscape where the jade-faced Guanyin Shao Rong lived, this place is more like a dead place.

I went out of the guest room door and arrived in the lobby, only to find that the person was on top of the hammock again. He was still in a similar position as yesterday, covering his face with a hat.

"Wake up, my environment in this Alan Inn is not bad. Since he couldn't see his expression, Ding Qin didn't know what his intention was.

Ding Qin smiled lightly, "It's not bad, it's quiet enough." ”

"Well, it's quiet. If you don't come, it's quieter here. You're really not going to buy a coffin?"

Ding Qin shook his head, "No, no need. I feel like I can come back. ”

"The people who came before said the same thing. They have used everything, for example, gas masks, gas suits, antidote potions, protective shields, all kinds of things. It's just a pity that no one ever came out alive. The man finally chuckled, "If it's really that easy to come back, Qingxinlan won't be called Qingxinlan." ”

Ding Qin said, "I'm not one of those people, so no matter how dangerous it is, I still have to give it a try." ”

"Hehe, I like this reason. For this reason, I will give you a plank. There is a firewood room at the back of the hall where there are several planks, you can pick one of your own. It's better to sit on a plank and paddle through it than to swim through it. His tone seemed to be much calmer at this time, much more comfortable than the gloomy and cold before.

"Thank you. After Ding Qin finished speaking, he prepared to go out.

"Wait. The man stopped him, "I haven't asked you yet, why are you looking for Qing Xinlan?"

Ding Qin didn't even think about telling the truth, "In order to restore my memory." ”

The man didn't say anything more. Ding Qin didn't stop, walked to the back firewood room, found a plank, and found two suitable branches, which were used as oars after a little trimming, and left the inn and came to the lake.

The water is not static, it flows slowly downstream. Ding Qin put down the plank, stood up again, adjusted his posture, and slowly paddled towards the center of the lake.

The slow currents of the water, combined with his external forces, brought him closer and closer to the island of Ailand.

Now, Ding Qin has seen the true face of Ailan Island. The whole island is about oval in shape, with a long diameter parallel to the waterway, estimated to be five or six miles, and a short diameter of only about three or four miles. The edge of the island should be a sandy beach, but the area of the beach is very small, only a short circle, as if a silhouette was deliberately drawn. Beyond the beach, there is a dense jungle with all the tall trees that shelter the island.

Ding Qin knows that orchids like shade, are afraid of direct sunlight, like moisture, avoid dryness, like fertile soil, and must have air circulation. These conditions are really in line with these conditions on the island of Ailan. In this way, maybe the Qingxin orchid is really just a strange orchid.

Finally, Ding Qin's plank approached the beach. He pressed his stick against the bottom of the lake, propped himself up as close to the shore as he could, and leaped ashore. After that, he scooped up the planks and put them in a place where the sun could reach them.

Because he's going back. When he went back, he still had to use this plank.

To be on the safe side, Ding Qin didn't go inside immediately, but took a turn around the outer part of the beach. On the beach, he didn't feel any toxins entering his body, and it was possible that it was indeed safe here.

And those jungles are actually divided into three layers. The tallest tree, with a low shrub in the middle, and a layer of grass and lichen moss underneath. It's just that Ding Qin doesn't know all the plants here.

It's like being at the Alley Inn, there is no sound here except for the sound of water and wind. At the inn, you can also see some bee butterflies, but when you get here, the bee butterflies are all extinct, not to mention any island beasts. Ding Qin tried to throw a few rocks into the jungle, but no animals were disturbed at all.

Like they say, it's a dead island.

After a short rest, Ding Qin finally stepped into the jungle.

It was as if it was bounded by the border of the jungle, and as soon as he entered, a strong rejection reaction immediately appeared in his body. The detoxification function within his entire body was fully mobilized, and the fluctuations in his body that he could feel were more violent than any time he could remember.

Sure enough, it's a poisonous island!

After walking inward for about 100 meters, Ding Qin was already sweating profusely. Although the toxicity here does not seem to have caused substantial harm to his body at present, the large amount of physical exertion caused by detoxification has made him vaguely unbearable.

It's just that within this 100-meter distance, there is no shadow of an orchid on the ground.

What Qingxinlan looks like, no one knows. Legend has it that there have been several times when someone has found the orchid, and some people woke up again after dying on the island, fell on the beach, and then found the orchid grass around them. As for how they found out and how they came out, they can't remember at all, and they can't remember.

There are some, it's all luck. As soon as I got close to the island, I found bluegrass on the beach and brought it back directly.

Ding Qin looked at the dense forest, simply found a relatively sparse place, sat down and recovered some strength. It's just that in this highly toxic environment, this kind of rest is more just psychological comfort, and physical strength has been consumed.

After a few moments, he stood up and walked into it again.

The further you go in, the sparser the trees become, and the less lichen and moss there are on the ground. In some places, some sandy and gravel ground is beginning to appear, which is also the place where orchids can easily grow.

Ding Qin was already soaking wet, but driven by a sense of accomplishment and expectation, he still observed the ground he could see as he walked. Although he knew that with such a large island, the chances of being able to successfully find Qingxinlan would be very small, but he was unwilling to give up any chance.

Walking inward for more than a mile, Ding Qin found that the sense of resistance to poison in his body seemed to be much lighter. The vegetation here was significantly more sparse, which led him to conclude that the poison gas did have something to do with the plants here.

As the energy consumption in the body decreased, Ding Qin's physical strength was gradually recovering. After walking a few hundred meters inside, Ding Qin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Not far in front of him, all the plants stopped in unison, as if they were on the beach.

That wasn't the biggest surprise to him, though.

To his surprise, in the center of the island, where there were no such poisonous plants, there was actually a village!

That's right, it's a village, a village where houses are built out of primitive thatch and other things. In the heart of a small island, there are not only houses, but also some fields, where the crops are nearly ripe and a good harvest is clearly in sight.

This...... Is this a secluded hideaway?

Ding Qin could barely believe his eyes.

Just as he was about to enter the area, a gray shadow descended from the sky.
