Is the Kirin Fire really on the Rose and the Skull? Not necessarily, because Tao Xiaozhi didn't really want to go to the Rose and Skull, but just went in the direction of the ship repair shop.

It is said that before the earthquake, in fact, the Rose and the Skull had already been repaired, and in an island country like this, the shipbuilding technology is quite developed, and it was the Queen's order, the ten-day deadline is too long, even if they give three days, they can repair it. Even if it was to build a ship like the Rose and the Skull, it would not be completed in less than a month, and if it was a day and night job, it would not take half a month! Moreover, all the equipment and food damaged on the ship were generously donated by the Half-Immortal Queen, and even some of the rose compasses necessary for the Black Sea were cultivated! It can be seen that she still showed considerable sincerity in the matter of exchanging Qilin Fire. But with the occurrence of this earthquake, it is unknown what kind of damage will be caused to the Rose and Skull, and this is not the scope of Tao Xiaozhi's consideration now.

Normally, the repair shop is a heavily guarded place, but now not even a bird can be seen, no matter how strict the orders from above are, in fact, at this critical moment, and the officials in the Immortal Nest are not in control, who wants to be stationed in this dangerous place? Even so, Tao Xiaozhi did not want to go to the repair shop, but to a coast called "Half Immortal Black Beach" near the repair shop, because there were also a few ships there, but they were not completely broken - this was the ship of the Iron Bear Soldiers! In the battle between the Seven Demons and the Rose and the Skeleton, they came with a total of five large ships, two of which were knocked out and sunk into the bottomless Black Sea, one of which was more damaged, and two of which were still functional. All the Half-Fairy Queen promised was to repair the Rose and the Skull, and the ships were not covered by the repairs, so they were pulled to the black beach to wait for what to do.

Could it be that the Qilin Fire was hiding on the ship of the Seven Demons, or was Tao Xiaozhi just trying to seize the ship and escape? Iron Red Bull tended to the latter, so he threw Tao Xiaozhi to the ground again!

"What are you doing here?" Fortunately, there was already sand in front of him, so Tao Xiaozhi didn't fall hard, but the beach cracked one by one, and even a cow could fall into it, which was very dangerous!

Tie Hongniu crossed his hands on his chest and said angrily: "You always think about escaping, ask me how to help you!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "Brother, who said I wanted to run away - this big earthquake, the wind and rain in the sea, and the monstrous waves, didn't I send it to death?"

Tie Hongniu said: "Then what are you doing here?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Nonsense, didn't I say it clearly enough before?"

Tie Hongniu said: "But I still don't believe that you hid the Qilin Fire in these broken ships - because Her Majesty has already sent someone to turn these ships up and down, not at all!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled weirdly and said, "Who said I hid it in the boat?"

Iron Red Bull exclaimed, "Then where did you hide it? Did you hide it in the sea。。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Yes, who said you were stupid!" Tao Xiaozhi patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Iron Red Bull was even more stunned: "How can you throw it into the sea。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "But I have a way to fish it out-"

Iron Red Bull has reached the point where he can no longer be surprised: "Falling into the Black Sea, bottomless, a large black area, I don't know where it is, how to catch it?" Haven't you heard of the idiom 'looking for a needle in a haystack'。。。。。。。。 ”

A strange light flashed in Tao Xiaozhi's eyes, and he said, "Tell you that if you throw it into the sea, you will have to fall to the bottom of the sea?"

Iron Red Bull touched his head and said, "Is it floating?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Have you heard the story of carving a boat to ask for a sword?"

Iron Red Bull was already stunned to the point of going crazy: "I always thought that pigs were the stupidest animals in the world, and now I finally found out that there are even more stupid animals!"

Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "I'm not a pig, of course I won't just imitate the steps of the story, but I will improve it slightly - tie the sword with a rope!" This can not only keep the sword from sinking, but also know the position of the sword, which is indeed a little smarter than the protagonist of the story of "Carving a Boat for a Sword".

Tie Hongniu patted Tao Xiaozhi's shoulder and smiled: "I really didn't misunderstand you, you are really a genius child!"

Then he added, "But wouldn't it be easy for the searchers to find them? Are they all blind。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "It depends on what kind of rope it is——"

Iron Red Bull scratched his head and said, "Is it an invisible rope?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Almost, more precisely, this is a rope that is easy to ignore. ”

In fact, this is a very long and thick "rope", the thickest "rope" on the ship, it is difficult to see it, and this "rope" is made of steel -- iron chains! This iron chain is tied to a thousand-pound anchor! And the unicorn fire is tied to the anchor! The anchor is a place that is easy to ignore, and it weighs a thousand catties, and it is generally pulled up by a machine, and it is safer to put the sword on the anchor and throw it into the deep sea. Therefore, the Half-Immortal Queen sent soldiers to search for these boats but could not find them. It is said that at that time, the ships of the Rose and the Skeleton and the Iron Bear Soldiers were besieged by the demi-immortals, and then taken to the demi-immortal black beach, and when the anchor was dropped, Tao Xiaozhi quietly tied the unicorn fire to the anchor, because he felt that the demi-immortal queen was coming for the unicorn fire - besides, what else was there to use her to mobilize the people?

The anchor is controlled by a runner (a large pulley), which is located in the ship's bilge. The anchor chain of the anchor is through a small hole in the hull and enters the ship's holder*. The runner was originally controlled by several people to pull up this jack of anchors, but the Iron Red Bull was not only invulnerable but also infinitely powerful, so it was effortless for Tao Xiaozhi to get the unicorn fire.

"This is the legendary Qilin Fire?" Tie Hongniu looked at the wet thing in Tao Xiaozhi's hand with a surprised expression. It's no wonder that he, because after soaking in the sea for a long time, the sword has been covered with moss, algae, and various snails, etc., and it looks similar to the salted fish in the stinky ditch or the hard stone in the toilet, causing a huge gap between expectations and reality.

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "I guess the taste it carries in the water must be uncomfortable." ”

Tie Hongniu said: "Don't delay, we have to hurry to the Half Immortal Mountain, if the thousand-year-old demon escapes, it's not a joke!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Half Immortal Mountain is the highest mountain on Half Immortal Island, towering into the clouds (although it is very high, but it has not reached the height of the fairy nest), the fairy aura lingers, auspicious clouds hang in the sky, a quiet and peaceful sacred place - this is the scene before the earthquake! But now it is a different "scenery" The cave of immortals was originally a volcano, erupting with the eruption of an earthquake, and the magma rose into the sky, making it even more dazzling against the dark background of the demonic energy! But this was only a small volcanic eruption, not enough to cause much damage (and the sky was accompanied by light rain), and the biggest damage still came from the earthquake.

The Half-Immortal Mountain trembled rhythmically with each impact, but everyone believed that it might shatter at some point, just like a rude man constantly banging on the gate, and the gate of the Immortal Demon Cave would be knocked away sooner or later!

This is a pre-apocalyptic scene, but it is shocking enough! Even the best painter cannot paint such a scene, the most powerful novelist cannot describe the situation, and the most powerful singer will be frightened by the sight before him and turn dumb!

Therefore, when Tao Xiaozhi and Tie Hongniu saw it from a distance, it was conceivable what kind of expression they would have on their faces. So, they really just watched from a distance (about a few hundred meters away) and didn't dare to move any further, otherwise earthquakes, magma, and monsters would kill them at any moment!

At this time, it was dawn, although it was still dark.

The place where they are located is an open place, and there is a small lake next to it, called Butterfly Lake, which is a holy place for many half-immortal island couples to have a tryst at night. Of course, even if love is insane, no one will have a tryst here now. But there were two people who agreed to meet here.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What about the crazy old man?"

Iron Red Bull looked around, and then said, "How do I know that we have made an appointment to meet here。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "He won't let you fly pigeons, right?"

Tie Hongniu said: "He is a man of his word. ”

"Maybe he's drunk and asleep?"

"The money on him will never allow him to buy enough alcohol to get drunk。。。。。。 ”

"Could it be that he fell into the crack?"

“。。。。。。。。 ”

At this time, although the sound of the earthquake and volcanic eruption was very loud, I still heard a voice shouting "help" - I saw a group of people turning out of Banxian Mountain from a distance, and ran towards this side in embarrassment.

Tie Hongniu hurriedly told Tao Xiaozhi to hide.

When it got closer, it turned out to be a group of old Taoist priests, all of them were burned to the ground, and most of their clothes were burned off, and their snow-white hair smelled of burning, as if they had just crawled out of the crater - in fact, they were the advanced group of senior immortal mages sent by the Half-Immortal Queen, who came here to suppress the thousand-year-old demons, and the result was predictable: they couldn't suppress the thousand-year-old demons, and they almost died under the magma and fled in embarrassment.

Iron Red Bull stepped forward and said, "Have you ever seen a strange crutch?"

These immortal masters, when the monster kidnappers were in power, received a lot of favors, so the relationship with the monster kidnappers was actually quite good.

A bald mage said, "Something has happened to him!"

Tie Hongniu exclaimed: "Could it be this earthquake。。。。。。。。 ”

The bald mage said, "No, he was captured!"

Iron Red Bull exclaimed: "Could it be a thousand-year-old demon。。。。。。 ”

The bald mage said, "No, it was the half-immortal queen who sent someone to arrest him!"

Tie Hongniu exclaimed: "Why?"

An old mage with long eyebrows stepped forward and said, "How do we know this, when we came, the Half-Immortal Queen just sent someone to arrest him。。。。。。。。。 ”

Tie Hongniu said, "Could it be that the Half-Immortal Queen knows about our plan。。。。。。。 ”

"What's the plan?"

"It's nothing, you guys hurry up and run for your lives!"

"What are you doing here alone?"

"Of course it's a date with Pig Po。。。。。。。 Leave me alone, hurry up!"

"It's really an earth-shattering love story。。。。。。。 ”

After the old Taoist priest left, Tao Xiaozhi came out.

Iron Red Bull snorted and muttered to himself, "What should we do now? Our plan must have been discovered by the Half-Immortal Queen。。。。。。。。 It's over, it's a crime to kill your head。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What are you afraid of, and I still have the Qilin Fire! As long as you kill the thousand-year-old demon monster, you can get it。。。。。。 ”

Tie Hongniu said: "You know a fart, you can't kill the monster without blaming the kidnapper!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Why?"

Tie Hongniu said: "Because you don't know the immortal law, and I don't know the immortal law, I can't open the immortal talisman left by the immortal saint at all!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "It's okay, I can wait for the thousand-year-old demon to break through the immortal rune and then kill it。。。。。。。 ”

Tie Hongniu said angrily: "You still don't understand: the earthquake that has occurred in recent years has pushed the fairy egg to the brink of destruction, if you wait for the thousand-year-old demon to break through the fairy rune, then the fairy egg will have sunk in the depths of the Black Sea!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "So, only by releasing the thousand-year-old demon can you kill it?"

Tie Hongniu said: "This is a must-go procedure!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You asked the old Taoist priests just now to come back and unlock the immortal talisman, so that it can be released." ”

Tie Hongniu said: "That immortal talisman was set by the ancestor of the half-immortal immortal immortal saint, the mana is boundless, and there are only three people on the half-immortal island who can unlock this talisman: the strange abductor, the half-immortal queen and the thousand-year-old demon!"

Tao Xiaozhi sighed and said, "It's troublesome now。。。。。。。。 ”

Tie Hongniu said: "No, we have to rescue the strange kidnapper!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "How can I save it?"

That's obviously a good question, but no one can answer it.
