The middle-aged man came up to the old man and bowed.

He lowered his head and reported to the old man: "Great Elder, Senior Brother Chen, they have sent news that the black scorpion bird has discovered the breath of the sword, and the location is in the Taixu Taoist Temple at the foot of Huanglong Mountain. ”

"Hmm. The old man simply replied with one word.

The middle-aged man continued: "The presiding elder of the Taixu Taoist Temple is called the Qingxu Daoist, according to the local mountain people, this Qingxu Daoist has some magical means, and he seems to be able to cure all diseases."

The old man was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The South China Cave Palace Mountain Range is too empty......? Shangxuantian Yuqing, judging from the font size, could it be that this Qingxu Dao Master is the fifth head of the Taixu Sect? If this is extremely tricky! Let me discuss it with Elder Yuan, you tell Xuanchen and them not to make any new moves for the time being, and wait for our instructions. ”

"Yes! The man saluted again and exited the cave.

After the middle-aged man withdrew, the thin old man's right hand was raised slightly, and a flash of light appeared in the cave. The old man put down his right hand, his eyes closed, but the flash of light quickly swept through the cave, and from time to time it brushed over the stone walls and the ceiling of the cave, causing a cremation, and the stone chips fell down one after another.

Finally, the flash hovered in front of the old man, not moving, and only then could he see clearly that it was a long sword!

"It's been 17 years!" the old man spat out these words.

THE STRONG WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAIN ON KOKO ISLAND SEEM TO HAVE INTENSIFIED.

Tropical storms entering the equatorial region survived for a short time due to the lack of help from the Earth's deflection forces, the next morning. The storm that raged all night disappeared without a trace. The weather cleared, and Koko Island returned to its former beauty.

In the distance, the vast Indian Ocean is like a blue beast, sleeping quietly. Under the blue sky, there are a few white clouds floating sporadically, lazily staring at a few sailboats rowing on the sea, groups of seabirds, rowing through the sea as if frozen and flying into the distance, time seems to stand still, time and space condense into a picture, quiet and beautiful, like a fairy and poetry.

A loud roar broke the silence of time and space, and on the eastern skyline, an airplane appeared, as if it was attached to the sea level, flying towards the island.

The plane has a somewhat strange appearance, which can only be recognized by those who are very familiar with military aircraft, this is a Wellington bomber, a Wellington Mk.Ic Torpedo bomber that was in service with the British Royal Air Force during World War II.

The propeller engine, which has more than 1,000 horsepower, makes a loud roar, but in the bomber's cabin, the noise is not so loud. It can be seen that this is a well-modified antique-level military aircraft, and the sound insulation treatment is very in place.

Zhu Shiyu sat on the edge of the porthole of the cabin, quietly admiring the beautiful sea view outside the window through the glass.

His face was a little pale, his body leaned back on the soft airline seat, his head was slightly tilted back, and his neck was resting lightly on the pillow rest, and the whole person looked a little tired.

Hyun Shan sat in the back row of Zhu Shiyu, looking at the KOKO Island that was getting closer and closer, with a gratifying smile on his face.

When he returned to the island this time, he made a special trip to escort Zhu Shiyu to the island to recuperate.

He has been in contact with Zhu Shiyu for a long time, and the relationship between them is still an informal master-apprentice relationship, and Xuan Shan once taught Zhu Shiyu a meditation method, which is specially used to train the brain's thinking.

Xuanshan's family is also a wealthy family in the Nanyang area, and the Zhu family is also a world friend, among the overseas Chinese, the two of them joined forces to form an overseas Chinese friendship association, with members all over the continent.

The plane they took was a prototype Torpedo anti-submarine aircraft of the Royal Air Force of World War II specially selected by him, this kind of antique aircraft more than 80 years ago, ordinary people can only see it in museums, but now it can fly over the vast Indian Ocean, which shows how strong the support is behind him.

THE PLANE SOON REACHED THE SKY OVER KOKO ISLAND, AGAIN LOWERED ITS ALTITUDE, FOLLOWED THE CONTOURS OF THE ISLAND, AND FLEW IN A CIRCLE.

Zhu Shiyu originally thought that the small island he came to recuperate on was an overseas desert island and inaccessible. But what he saw in front of him surprised him.

This less than 20 square kilometers of Koko Island is exceptionally prosperous. The most conspicuous landmark of the whole island is not the tall volcano located in the north of the island, but a majestic Taoist temple standing at the foot of the volcanic mountain: Sanqing Temple!

To the south of the temple is an open square paved with granite, on which nearly 10,000 boys and girls stand, dressed in uniform white round-necked suits, lined up in a neat queue, led by a Taoist priest, undergoing morning exercises.

Zhu Shiyu was surprised to find that there was a barracks built on the top of the mountain, and hundreds of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms were conducting actual combat training on the slopes and valley floors, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was clearly transmitted.

"This is our island's private armed forces, known as the Salamander Commandos, who are no less equipped and trained than the American Navy SEALs. ”

Xuan Shan saw Zhu Shiyu's face in shock, and opened his mouth to explain.

"Are private armed forces allowed here?" Zhu Shiyu was even more surprised.

"Of course not, these troops have numbers. However, from recruitment to combat, it is all in our hands. With this armed force, what the government can't do, we can help him do, and everyone can enjoy it. ”

Zhu Shiyu stopped making a sound. The matter is by no means as simple as Xuan Shan said, there must be a complex political game hidden behind this, which has little to do with him.

The bomber landed smoothly on a long runway at the foot of the volcano. The hatch opened, and Hyun Sun jumped off the plane first.

An open-top car drove from the end of the runway, and the middle-aged man and another slightly younger man from last night came to the plane and stopped, and the two jumped out of the car and bowed to Xuan Shan and said, "Senior brother!"

Xuan Shan raised his hand and returned the salute: "Same junior brother, junior brother Long." ”

It turned out that Xuan Shan was the eldest disciple of Sanqing Temple, and the middle-aged man last night was called Xuan Tong, ranking second among the many disciples of the Sanqing audience. And the slightly younger one is the last Xuanlong junior brother in the line.

"Senior brother, the two elders are waiting for you on the mountain, go quickly!" Xuan Tong urged.

"Okay, I'll be right over. This is Zhu Shiyu, the third son of Uncle Zhu of Fulong Company, Xuanlong, please take him to the Water Pavilion to rest. Xuan Shan pointed to Zhu Shiyu, who poked his head out of the cabin door, and said.

"Yes! Xuanlong answered, and stepped forward to support Zhu Shiyu, who walked down the stairs.

Hyun Sun and Hyun Tong jumped into the car, turned around and drove towards the mountain.

Zhu Shiyu slowly walked down the ramp of the plane, stood on the ground, looked around, and did not speak. Xuanlong made a move with his hand, and another convertible car immediately drove over, he opened the door, asked Zhu Shiyu to get in the car, and jumped into the driving position to start the car.

The car slowly crossed a road behind the Sanqing Hall, came to the west of the island, and climbed along the gravel road up the mountain to the top of the mountain. The road up the mountain is very steep, but the car is very smooth to drive up, Zhu Shiyu sat in the car, listening to the click of the wheels pressing over the stones, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After a while, the car came to the top of the hill and stopped in front of a courtyard building built against the mountain. Xuanlong jumped out of the car and came to the door of the building and shouted, "Ah Zi, Ah Zi!"

"Hey, here we go!" With a crisp answer, a girl came out of the door, wearing a short purple dress, her complexion was slightly dark, but she couldn't hide the charming beauty on the girl's face.

"Master Long!" the girl bowed to Xuanlong, smiling and revealing a row of white teeth like braided shells, and shallow dimples on her cheeks.

"This is Uncle Shan's guest, take good care of it!" said to the girl.

"Yes!" The girl named Ah Zi immediately stepped forward to open the car door for Zhu Shiyu and wanted to help Zhu Shiyu get out of the car.

Zhu Shiyu raised his hand to Ah Zi, and after getting out of the car with his legs, he thanked Xuanlong. Xuanlong returned the salute and drove down the mountain.

Zhu Shiyu went to the courtyard building under the guidance of Ah Zi and climbed to the second floor. The second floor of the courtyard is very spacious and has a large terrace facing west. Zhu Shiyu walked out of the door and came to the terrace, his eyes lit up.

The location of this house is really wonderful, from this high point you can see the south, west and north of the island, and the east side is blocked by a tall volcano.

The south is the square in front of the Taoist temple, the north is the low mountain, Zhu Shiyu is most satisfied with the west, on the west coast of the island, beyond the cliffs, there is a section of white sand beach up to more than 500 meters long.

The beach was deserted and there were no tents, except for a few turtles paddling in the shallow water near the beach. The white sand beach is lapped and caressed by the blue waters of the Indian Ocean, like a crescent moon embedded in the sea, more like a beautiful girl bathing on the seaside.

In front of him, Yan Ran's slender and graceful figure appeared, and his white skin was as smooth and delicate as the sand. He likes the sea, he also likes the beach, and he prefers Yan Ran.

"What a beautiful picture it would be if one day I could play carefree on this beach with my loved ones and bathe in the refreshing sea breeze!"

At the thought of this, there was a hint of blood on his pale face, and a smile appeared on his thin lips.

......

Halfway up the mountainside of the volcano, outside the wide cave mansion, Xuan Shan stood alone outside the door, and bowed to the door: "Great Elder, disciple Xuan Shan has come to pay a visit." ”

The wooden door opened without wind, "Come in!" The old voice came from inside.

Hyun Shan raised his feet and walked into the cave.

The cave was still dark, and behind the stone ridge on the west side sat two wizened old men, whose figures could not be seen clearly in the darkness. A futon was placed on the ground in front of the stone ridge.

Xuan Shan came to the stone ridge and saluted the two old men: "Xuan Shan has seen the Great Elder and the Second Elder!"
