"Golden Island," Zheng Jiuwu paused, "There is also an immortal city, according to legend, Cambyses II built that super dynasty across the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe and collected all the gold in the territory under his control, this ruler believes that gold is the reason why people are greedy for wealth, and he concentrates this wealth on an island that no one knows, this island is the Golden Island."

It was a staggering fortune, where the gold of the three continents had been stored for thousands of years, and the collapse of the Persian Empire had caused countless treasure hunters to set their sights on this sea, which was believed to be on an island from the Persian Gulf to the South Middle Sea, and believed to be guarded by a mysterious force.

The search for this fortune continued until the beginning of the 13th century, when a Chinese merchant ship bound for Europe lost course in a storm and the fleet was washed to pieces, when a young boy named Zhu Hong was floating with a piece of wood on his stomach and drifting with the current, and when he woke up he found himself in a very lively city.

There are many people living in this city, and everything they use is forged from gold, from ordinary utensils to tools of life, and even the bricks on the ground of the houses. These people were very friendly to Zhu Hong's arrival, although they didn't understand the written language, but they took great care of him, an outsider, not only healed his injuries, but also left him to live here for a long time.

Although Zhu Hong lived on this island without worrying about food and clothing, he always missed his distant hometown for a long time, and he began to stand on a high hill every day and look at the surrounding ocean, hoping that a ship would pass by nearby. But I don't know why, as the days passed, Zhu Hong found that this island seemed to be isolated from the world, and he had never seen even a leaf of flat boats, which made him feel very strange.

So he told one of the most respected elders on the island about his desire to go home, and after a long silence the elder promised to send him back, but he promised that he would never mention the existence of the island to the world, and made a vow that if he revealed this heavenly secret, he would live in endless darkness forever.

At that time, Zhu Hong was still young, where did he know so much, but he was eager to go home, so he made an oath according to the man's request. The man gave him a gold coin, told him to keep it in his hand at night, and to throw it into the sea when he got home, and then let him go back to sleep.

Zhu Hong woke up and found himself on a deserted island with no birds, where is there any gold brick food, he rubbed his head and thought to himself, is this just a dream? But he found himself holding a gold coin in his hand, and soon he saw a ship passing by on the sea, and his cries for help were answered, this is a mighty fleet, and when he arrived on the ship, he found that it had been a full hundred years since he left his hometown, and it was already 1405 A.D., and the name of the country was Yongle!

The commander of this fleet is said to be Zheng He, the young Zhu Hong forgot his oath with the old man, and Zheng He was also suspicious when he learned about Zhu Hong's incident, but when he saw the fallen gold coin with his own eyes, he understood that there was really a golden island in this world. The fleet soon searched the nearby seas, but unfortunately it was never able to find the island Zhu Hong said, and the child died mysteriously on the night he was rescued by Zheng He.

After completing the return to China, Zheng He immediately sent someone to verify the matter of Zhu Hong's voyage, after it was confirmed that there was indeed a merchant fleet that did not come back a hundred years ago, Zheng He believed that the island that Zhu Hong said was the legendary city of immortality, and the people living in that city had stopped time, this news surprised the emperor who pursued immortality, and in the following decades, Zheng He would send a team to search for the island that Zhu Hong said, but unfortunately he never found anything. ”

"It's quite a good story, it's very similar to Xu Fudong's search for immortal medicine." Wang Ling looked at Li Xin and said, "But what does all this have to do with us?" ”

Li Xin said: "This legend of Lao Zheng only helps us confirm the existence of fallen gold coins and gold islands, and like Zheng He, whether it is official or folk, the pursuit of that treasure has never stopped until the emergence of Mao Ruxian." This sage who is proficient in astronomy and geography has finally discovered the clues, there are many similar immortal cities in this world, such as the one we experienced before, and who built these so-called immortal cities in this world is still a mystery.

Not everyone is lucky enough to enter the Immortal City, even if you know its coordinates accurately, it won't help, remember Cheng Ye from Xuanwu Island? ”

"Remember," Wang Ling said, "does it have anything to do with him?" ”

Li Xin said: "He once gave five eight characters, these five eight characters were left by his master Liu Dahai, only these five people can enter that forbidden place, have you thought about why?" ”

"I don't know."

"Liu Dahai's forbidden place is a kind of formation, which is an imitation made based on some records and speculations about the immortal city in the royal archives of that year, and the purpose is to experiment who can pass through these forbidden places. I guess the discoverer of this forbidden place should be Zheng He, Cheng Ye said that Zheng He's fleet disappeared after arriving on Xuanwu Island, and some bizarre things often happen here, Xuanwu Island should be similar to the Immortal City, it is very likely to be cracked by Mao Ruxian, Liu Dahai and Mao Ruxian are still far from the fire, so I speculate that the so-called Immortal City is an island constructed by similar blindfolds, as for whether it is man-made or born, no one knows. Only some people with special personalities can have the opportunity to cross, for example, we crossed Liu Dahai's forbidden land, just like that Zhu Hong back then. ”

"Li Xin, this is too," Lao Pi said: "Do you think the fourth brother is surprised by the bones, I can still believe it," after that, he pointed to the poet on the side and said: "This guy has no power to restrain the chicken, he is simply the material for delaying his legs, what kind of chosen son can he be?" Besides, according to you, these five Fallen Gold Coins must have come from the Golden Immortal City that Zhu Hong had been to, and who brought them to that place? Could it be Mao Ruxian? ”

"Remember when we said that these five gold coins are also keys? Back then, Zhu Hong walked out of the golden island with a gold coin, but you forgot a detail, although Zhu Hong is dead, the gold coin is still there. Li Xin continued: "Whose hand did this gold coin go?" Naturally, it is Zheng He, gold coins are used as the standard currency, may I ask everyone here, if you are given a coin, can you copy the exact same finished product by relying on the strength of the country? ”

"It's not difficult." Wang Ling said: "For example, copper coins are the most typical example, as long as there is a mold, what is the difficulty?" You're saying that this coin is a replica for posterity, not the real Fallen coin. ”

"Whoever owns gold coins will fall into endless darkness, this is that oath," Li Xin said: "Dare to ask how you have been doing these days?" So I guess these gold coins are replicas, a tool used by later generations to experiment with traveling through the city. The coin itself is just a metal object, how much magic can it have? The so-called curse of wealth is just a cover-up statement, the purpose of which is naturally not to be touched by anyone, so to make up a story for this, because a story that can be believed can affect our judgment and thoughts, it is the same as three people become tigers, and the gold coin is just a prop, and it doesn't matter whose scepter is depicted on it.

Mao Ruxian took these replicas to confirm his judgment, gold coins are not the key to traveling through the old city, the most important thing is people.

Now I can answer Lao Pi's question, may I ask Lao Pi, do you have a family tree in your family? ”

"Genealogy?" Lao Pi thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen that thing, my father joined the army, and most of the relatives in my hometown have already dispersed......"

"What about you?" She looked at the poet, and Li Mubai also shook her head and said: "I only know about my grandfather's generation, which is said to be a ......man of the Qing Dynasty."

"Now I can tell you, because we are all descendants of pirates, but in our generation, except for me, everyone else has long ceased to have anything to do with pirates, fourth brother, do you really not know who you are? Well, now I can tell you, it's a story about the city of immortality and pirates......"
