When the boat entered Xingxing Lake, Xiao Yuanshan came over and informed Yuan Ding.

Yuan Ding had already heard that the islands in the Star Lake were dense, which had the taste of the Thousand Island Lake on the earth, and he heard that the building boat had entered the Star Lake at this time, so he came to the deck to overlook the scenery.

Standing on the bow of the boat and watching, the Star Lake is naturally vast and boundless, but the islands in the lake are too dense, they are different sizes and shapes embedded in the lake, and the scenery is natural under the reflection of water and sky.

Shen Mengyu naturally stood on the deck, dressed in white, leaving the world independent, and the ranger was walking freely in the landscape painting scroll like a lonely boat.

Xiao Yuanshan unconsciously turned into a guide beside Yuan Ding and introduced the scenery in the lake.

There are many islands in the lake, and there are many strange shapes, such as the goddess who is in the mortal world, like the fairy who guides the way, like the monkey picking the peach, like the giant ape scratching the head, the hungry ghost pounces on the food, and so on. As a result, most of the islands have been given various names according to their shapes, such as the Turtle Island, which resembles a giant Turtle Ray. The head of the turtle is a round boulder not far from the main island, and the main island forms a scene of turtles exploring the water.

Ningyang City is installed on all the islands of the lamp-shaped treasure, every night, the treasure naturally shines, standing in the sky to see, it is as beautiful as the stars, not like the world.

However, there are not only many islands exposed to the surface of the lake, but also many underwater reefs, and large merchant ships can only follow a fixed route to move forward in the lake, and there are lighthouses to guide the way at night.

Because it is the reason for the formation of the island by volcanic eruption, there is no reef around, so it has become a transit terminal in the shipping route, and the island is quite prosperous, and the small half of the island is already full of houses.

Previously, Yuanlong Island belonged to the city lord's mansion, and the merchants on the island also kept to themselves. But now that Yuanlong Island has returned to the Qingwei faction, there are merchants who are ready to move, and it is a trivial matter not to pay taxes and fees, and the encroachment on other people's territory has already happened, and the underworld forces in Ningyang City have extended to Yuanlong Island.

Yuan Ding didn't expect an island to be so troublesome, but when he saw Xiao Yuanshan's distressed appearance, he knew that he didn't know how much he had suffered in the open.

Yuan Ding said: "Is there a lot of taxes on Yuanlong Island? ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "Yuanfei Island is far away from Ningyang City, and most merchant ships have to rest on the island, so there are more merchants, and there are tens of thousands of spirit stones in a year. Although the acting institute left on the island by the City Lord's Mansion has moved, the shops in the City Lord's Mansion are still operating as usual, and the large and small shops on Turtle Island have not paid a single cent of taxes so far. ”

Yuan Ding said: "Have we ever announced the ownership of Yuanlong Island?" ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "We didn't make an announcement, but we announced it when the City Lord's Mansion was evacuated." ”

Yuan Ding sneered and said, "Evacuate with a tail." Then he continued to Xiao Yuanshan: "After returning to the island, it will be announced that the ownership of Yuanyu Island will be announced, and all the previous regulations will remain the same, and this year's taxes and fees will be paid within a time limit, and the overdue ones will be calculated according to the interest fee of the silver building." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, especially the few shops in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Yuan Ding said: "It doesn't matter, no matter how big the power is, it's all about doing business, and what we pay attention to is harmony and making money, let's just be more reasonable." ”

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head with a wry smile: "No reason is as big as a fist, our Qingwei faction is in decline." ”

Yuan Ding looked at the mist in the distance, as if he had seen the prosperous Yuanyu Island, and said to himself: "The big fist is the truth. ”

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Yuan Ding with some horror, thinking of the situation when he had picked Changshan to help the mountain gate with his own appearance, and sighed that there is really a master and an apprentice.

As we gradually go deeper into Xingxing Lake, we can only walk along the fixed laneway, so all kinds of large boats have increased a lot, and the speed of the building boats has gradually slowed down, moving silently among the many boats in front and back.

Yuan Ding took a look at the situation in the alleyway and asked Xiao Yuanshan, "Elder Xiao, how can I see that all these cargo ships have entered Xingxing Lake and gone out?" Could it be that there is another shipping lane? ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "Indeed, this channel is the channel into Star Lake, and there is a channel out a few miles away from here, but these two channels will merge into the main channel, and our Yuanyu Island is on the route of the main channel." ”

Yuan Ding said clearly: "I see. ”

At the beginning, the city advocated losing a Turtle Island in a shocking battle, which was naturally a matter of a drop in the bucket for him, but the people below, especially the people stationed on Turtle Island, seemed to have lost their livelihood to support their families, and Turtle Island still had a spirit stone mine on the main channel. So these people must be 10,000 unwilling, and it is strange if they don't give birth to a lot of right and wrong, anyway, the master said that as long as they are in the same realm, they will not meddle in things.

And Zhang Jingxian takes care of all the opportunities every day, so he naturally has no time to pay attention to a small island.

Half a day later, the building ship merged into the main channel, many ships on the left and right in each other's directions, the islands on the main channel prospered, according to Xiao Yuanshan said, many islands and several islands such as Yuanyu Island are prosperous, one is that these islands are large enough, enough for many ships to turn, and the other is that the water surface is open and the water depth is enough.

Shen Mengyu gradually got tired of looking at it, and ignored everyone and went back to the room by himself.

Since participating in the poetry meeting, Shen Mengyu has rarely bothered Yuan Ding. Probably because he no longer needs Yuan Ding's relationship for his own food.

The few times Shen Mengyu wanted to go back to the cave to water the dragon tooth rice, he would come to Yuan Ding and stare at him indifferently, asking Yuan Ding to guess why she came to the door.

Fortunately, after a few months of getting along, Yuan Ding still knows Shen Mengyu well, otherwise he would really have the intention to kill the thief and have no power to return to the sky.

After nightfall, the boat finally arrived at the harbor of Yuanlong Island. The port was built at the tail of the island, and the castle that occupies a small part of the island was also built according to the port.

At this time, although it is already the beginning of the lights, the small town is a little lively, and the busyness of the port has not stopped.

Although there was an endless flow of people on the dock, Xiao Yuanshan still saw a Qingwei sect disciple waiting anxiously on the dock, this person's clothes were torn, and there was blood oozing out of the torn place, obviously injured.

Xiao Yuanshan didn't care about docking the boat, so he flew to the shore with Xuan Gong, and said eagerly: "Cangfeng, what happened?" ”

Hu Cangfeng still cared about etiquette at the moment, and said straightly: "Master, the dogs and cubs of Soul Island have seized our spirit stone mine and injured our senior brothers. ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "How many people did we hurt?" What about Ye Qiuyu? ”

Hu Cangfeng said: "Senior Brother Ye is the most seriously injured, and he is still in a coma, and all the six people we left behind are injured." ”

Xiao Yuanshan heard that no one had lost his name, so he temporarily put his mind at ease and said, "Cangfeng, who do you see coming back?" ”

At this time, Hu Cangfeng saw Yuan Ding who was smiling at him, and immediately said excitedly: "Young master!" ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "Now Yuan Ding is our head, and I am already an elder." ”

Hu Cangfeng immediately bowed down and said, "Hu Cangfeng participates in the Yuan master's house." ”

Yuan Ding helped Hu Cangfeng up and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, and my cultivation has improved a lot." Without waiting for Hu Cangfeng to speak, he continued: "There are many people here, let's go back first." ”
