After about three hours of flight, we finally landed at the "Taoyuan Airport" on Treasure Island.

As with the treatment at the "Shuangliu Airport", as soon as we arrived, the staff of the Religious Affairs Bureau came to pick us up and arranged all the itinerary for us in advance.

Due to the tight schedule, at first, I didn't really care about this, I just wanted to hurry from the airport to the pier so that I could take a boat to the legendary Penglai Immortal Island!

"Wang Lin!"

However, as soon as I got off the plane, a familiar voice couldn't help but make me stunned on the spot, and then I looked surprised and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

"Brother Xu!"

I never thought that the person who came to receive us this time turned out to be my old acquaintance Xu Jingyang? "Why are you here?"

A flash of surprise flashed in my eyes, and I couldn't help but hurry up and hurriedly greeted him, and stepped forward to give him a big bear hug: "Long time no see!" ”

"Haha, good boy, I haven't seen you for half a year, I thought you forgot me!"

After a long absence, Xu Jingyang was naturally also very happy, exchanged a few words of greeting, and led us straight out of the airport. It wasn't until this time that I learned that the reason why he appeared here was also a deliberate arrangement by the old director and Deng Lao.

In the final analysis, Baodao is, after all, the sphere of influence of the "Heavenly Master's Mansion", and because of some previous grievances, the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" and I have already become a fire and water. In order to avoid extraneous complications and reduce some unnecessary troubles, of course they had to send a capable general to stay here.

And in the entire Religious Affairs Bureau, the young generation has the best relationship with me, and there is no doubt that Xu Jingyang is the only one! The brotherhood between the two of us is obvious to all, and he is naturally the best person to stay here and wait for me.

It's just that in this way, he, like Xia Wuren, lost the opportunity to enter the "Tianchi Secret Realm" to find an opportunity for the first time.

The so-called "acquaintances are easy to do", we talked and laughed along the way, and before we knew it, we had come to the dock.

And I originally thought that along the way, we were both helicopters and special planes, and when we went to sea, not to mention a cruise ship, how could it be a yacht? Unexpectedly, as soon as he got out of the car, Xu Jingyang pointed directly to the small wooden fishing boat next to a freighter and said: "That's it, let's take it to sea and go to Penglai!" ”

Nani?

As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded on the spot, and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, and said in my heart that I was joking, right? We're going to sea, so you're going to let us go to sea in this little fishing boat?

The sea is so windy and rough that only one wave is enough to overturn this small fishing boat, do you want us to swim to that Penglai Island?

It's a pity that Xu Jingyang was busy communicating with the owner of the small fishing boat at this time, and completely ignored my stunned expression.

So I quickly glanced straight at Xia Wuren next to me, but strangely, there was no surprise in his facial expression, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, I suddenly became a little anxious and asked, "Are we really going to sea on this little broken fishing boat?" ”

"Shh

As soon as these words came out, Xia Wuren was suddenly startled, and hurriedly made a silent gesture to me, which pulled me aside.

At the same time, I was also aware of it, and suddenly felt that the owner of the fishing boat looked at me with a look full of unkindness, and Xu Jingyang next to him quickly bowed and apologized to the owner of the fishing boat, and his attitude was called a respect!

"Hey?"

I'm surprised by this, looking at the appearance of the owner of the fishing boat, it's clear that he's just an ordinary person, Xu Jingyang, the director of the Qianyang Branch, who was a feudal official in ancient times, as for treating him so respectfully?

"Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Before I could react, Xia Wuren quickly lowered his voice and said, "Do you think the surging immortal island is so easy to find?" Don't look at me I've been in that place for nearly ten years, but if we hadn't had experienced sailors to take us out to sea, I'm afraid even I wouldn't have been able to find that place......"

"Really?"

Seeing his serious appearance, I was a little skeptical, and said that since even Xia Wuren, the "old driver", couldn't find it, could the owner of the fishing boat find it?

However, since even Xia Wuren is so cautious, then I naturally don't want to say anything.

nodded, closed his mouth in amusement, glanced apologetically at the owner of the fishing boat, and waited quietly on the edge of the dock, waiting for Xu Jingyang to communicate with the other party slowly.

After communicating for more than ten minutes, I saw Xu Jingyang take out a large pile of banknotes from his pocket and hand it to the owner of the fishing boat, and the other party nodded reluctantly.

Xu Jingyang's face was overjoyed, and after thanking him again, he hurriedly beckoned to me and Xia Wuren: "Get on the boat, let's set off immediately!" ”

"Hoo ......"

Is it finally negotiated?

Taking a deep breath, I didn't hesitate any longer, followed Xia Wuren, and quickly jumped onto the fishing boat, and as soon as I stood firm, a disgusting and pungent fishy smell suddenly rushed towards me.

However, after Xia Wuren's advice just now, I didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so under the guidance of Xu Jingyang, I hurriedly got into the narrow cabin below!

The fishing boat lifted anchor and slowly sailed out of the dock, and as soon as I entered the cabin, I immediately set up a soundproof magic circle and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Can't we go out to sea in a bigger boat? ”

"It's not a big deal......

Xia Wuren subconsciously shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "Haven't you seen the extraordinaryness of this fishing boat until now?" ”

"Huh?"

Frowning slightly, I couldn't help but take a closer look around, this fishing boat is in tatters, it's almost scrapped, I don't think this fishing boat has anything extraordinary?

"Huh?"

However, I quickly reacted again, and I couldn't help but rub the wooden planks on the cabin with my hands, and then my eyes lit up: "This is a locust tree that has grown for hundreds of years?" ”

"Huh...... Not too stupid! ”

While smiling slightly, Xia Wuren couldn't help but check the layout in the cabin as well, but he wasn't interested in explaining too much for me.

However, Xu Jingyang hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "The sea area to Penglai is quite special, not only are there very fierce sea beasts along the way, but also have to pass through a forbidden area!" ”

"It is said that in the forbidden area, human beings must not have any action, otherwise it will invite unwarranted disasters, more than nine years ago, some people do not believe in evil, driving a cruise ship directly into the forbidden area with maximum horsepower, want to cross the forbidden area, and then disappear inexplicably! It wasn't until half a year later that the cruise ship was spotted in the adjacent waters! The cruise ship is intact, but all the people inside have died mysteriously, with hideous faces and turned into dried corpses! ”

"Dry corpse?"

Without waiting for Xu Jingyang to finish speaking, I couldn't help but interrupt him again, and said with a look of surprise: "This is in the vast sea, the most important thing is water vapor, are you sure they all turned into dry corpses in the end?" ”

"Of course it's sure!"

Xu Jingyang nodded affirmatively, and then said: "This is the information I found in the file of the Religious Affairs Bureau, as soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and in the end, even the people of the 'Heavenly Master's Mansion' were alarmed and went to this sea area to investigate!" As a result, it was the same, and at that time, he even lost a high Dao who refined the gods and transformed the virtual realm. ”

"Later, it was said that the top master of the 'Heavenly Master's Mansion' came out and returned to the treasure island alive, but he was seriously injured! In the end, the Baodao authorities ordered to block the news, and at the same time turned the sea area into a forbidden area, strictly ordering nearby fishermen not to approach, otherwise they would not get any assistance from the Baodao authorities in case of distress! ”

"Damn, so evil, even the awesome treasure island 'Heavenly Master's Mansion' can't help them?"

I was taken aback by what he said, but I quickly came up with another question and asked, "Then why did such a small fishing boat pass through unharmed?" ”

"It's not 100 percent safe to pass ......"

Xu Jingyang shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "In fact, there is also a certain risk, which is why the owner of the fishing boat was so hesitant just now!" ”

"According to my guess, the answer should lie in these hundred-year-old locust trees. The locust wood is yin and is most loved by spirits, so once such a ship approaches, the evil spirits or water ghosts in the forbidden area will generally not attack! And if they can be given some benefits, they will even help to push the boat, so the nearby fishermen generally call it 'ghost pusher'. ”

Ghost pusher?

Fortunately, we are all cultivators, otherwise, this would sound a little creepy, let alone going out to sea on a ghost ship.

In this way, the owner of this fishing boat should also be a capable person, otherwise how could ordinary people come up with such a way to get through the forbidden area?

But what I don't understand is why they insist on going there when they know that the sea is so dangerous. And finally came up with such a solution?

Such a method is obviously not something that can be thought up overnight, and if there is no guidance from a master, I am afraid that it will take several generations of effort to gradually figure it out......

I don't think they're willing to take such a big risk just to catch a few fish, or just for money!

After all, the vast sea is boundless, and where you can't fish? Why do you have to go to that deadly forbidden zone?

"Nothing strange!"

As if seeing what I was thinking, Xia Wuren next to him couldn't help but suddenly take over the conversation and said with a smile: "As far as I know, anyone who does this is generally an ethnic minority called 'Shao Nationality' in Baodao. They had a population of only two or three hundred, and in the early years they lived mainly by fishing! When the Jiang family seized the treasure island, a large influx of foreign population, coupled with increasingly serious environmental pollution, made them have to go farther to the sea to fish in order to barely support their families! ”

"Of course, this is only secondary, after all, the economy has developed so far, with only a few hundred people in their area, what is it not enough to feed their families?"

Shaking his head slightly, Xia Wuren said: "The reason why they want to continue to fish through the forbidden area is actually because of their ancestral spiritual beliefs, there is a very special kind of eel growing near the sea area of Penglai, this fish is related to a sacrificial activity called "Eel Worship" of the 'Shao Clan', so even if they are already quite rich, there are still clansmen who will venture to continue to walk through the forbidden area every year to catch this kind of eel for sacrificial purposes!" ”
