20. Treasure Island Penglai
The West Sea, in the north of Lingnan, is surrounded by mountains, close to the ocean, and is a tropical region with a high temperature. There are many large rivers and rivers, and there are many lofty mountains, but most ordinary people live by fishing and hunting for a living, and are self-sufficient.
Penglai Island is an island that occasionally floats from the sea and is nowhere to be found. Only an experienced person can make a rough estimate based on the rise and fall of the tide. Legend has it that Penglai Island is a fairy mountain on the sea, drifting to. There are countless exotic flowers and plants on the island, no one picks them, and all kinds of treasures, too many to mention, you can choose. Every time there is a fateful encounter, it is a gluttonous feast that treasure hunters dream of, attracting treasure hunts from all over the world, and explorers flock to it.
A few days later, my brother and sister and I came to this small fishing village with only a few dozen people. The fishing village is nestled on a rocky hill and is close to the vast expanse of the sea. Every morning, the village's fishing boats sail out to sea in the morning glow, and before sunset, they return with fresh seafood.
Because we are not accustomed to the hot and humid climate here, we choose to live from the top down, scattered in the mountains, several families, and send one person out every day to find out the situation among the fishermen who go out to sea, and then devise countermeasures. We don't know when Penglai Island will appear. All we can do now is to wait, wait for Penglaizhou to appear, wait for Xing Xing to be able to get a piece of the pie in this opportunity.
On this day, it was my turn to go out and investigate the situation. I cleaned up my equipment early and set off to descend the mountain. Turning right outside, there was a winding path that stretched down the hill, and I followed the path down the hill, through the open field, to a deserted corner. There is a small wild lotus pond at the corner of the road, and there are only a few wild lotus plants visible in the pond, which are growing quietly. At this time, there was a slight noise in the pond, and I took a closer look, it was a wild lotus that was slowly blooming, the stamen seemed to be a shining fish belly, and the golden light of the flower holder surrounded by two fish whiskers flashed.
"This is the golden carp that has matured."
I was stunned and inexplicable, and walked over overjoyed, and was about to pick it, when a cry suddenly sounded in my ears,
"Let it go!"
I couldn't help but stop, a strange fragrance wafted by, a bright thing rushed towards me, I instinctively hugged it, my fingertips hurt slightly, and at the same time, a stream of information instantly flowed into my mind, which ...... It turned out to be a success in confessing the Lord. Holding it in my arms, I was so pleasantly surprised that I couldn't think about it, so I could only go all the way.
In the grass on both sides of the road, in the small woods that passed, and on the leafy trees, many strange people and strange people came to smell the fragrance. Relying on the skill of stealth for a long time, one person carries a knife forward and follows closely. Suddenly, I jumped up and flew into the air, the sword flashed, and I closed my eyes tightly in fear. After a cry of pain, I was greeted by followers in different places, corpses scattered all over the place, and gloomy country roads. Along the path, when I finally entered a dilapidated hut, my hand suddenly lightened, and the golden carp was gone. Only a beautiful young man, sitting on the ground in the corner of the house, complained:
"It's so dangerous, I almost can't take it, I can't help at all!"
As he spoke, he cleaned up the bloodstains on his body. I stared blankly, not daring to move, at a loss.
