Forty miles to the east of the True Yang Temple, it is the sea wharf of Denghai County.

At the beginning of the red sun, Senior Brother Xun took Zhao Lin and a group of teenagers to the dock.

The destination of this trip was a place in the sea called Sanshan Island, and according to Senior Brother Xun, the space circle connecting the Xuanyuan Continent and this world was arranged on the island.

The skies are clear, most of the fishermen have gone out to sea, and only a few ferries are parked on the shore.

Senior Brother Xun asked everyone to wait on the trestle, walked to a shuttle boat, and whispered to the leading boatman: "Go to Sanshan Island." ”

"No, no!"

The boat boss waved his hand repeatedly, and his head shook like a rattle.

Senior Brother Xun didn't say much, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, and the boat boss looked struggling, and finally nodded.

"Come here, get on board!" Senior Brother Xun beckoned.

The group walked over, and the captain of the boat commanded two boatmen to quickly tow the boat into the sea, and then took them to the boat one by one.

The shuttle is more than two feet long and about seven feet wide, just enough to accommodate eight people, but it must be divided into two sides to sit in front and back, otherwise the boat will be unstable.

Counting the boss of the ship, there were only three boatmen, one controlling the sails, two holding the oars, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Feng Ping! ”

The shuttle boat moved, splitting the waves and heading out into the sea.

The teenagers were a little nervous when they went to sea for the first time, especially Tong Mu from the grassland, who grabbed the side of the boat tightly with both hands, and his face was red, for fear of accidentally falling into the sea.

In a short time, the shuttle boat moved away from the pier and sailed smoothly on the sea.

The sea surface is sparkling, like a handful of broken gold, as far as the eye can see, the sea is empty, the blue waves are vast, the clouds and mist are shrouded in the distance, and the water and sky are the same color.

When the sea breeze blew, everyone felt refreshed and relaxed.

Zhao Lin was used to seeing the sea in his previous life, and he didn't feel anything, but it was the first time for the teenagers to appreciate the scenery on the sea, and they all expressed their admiration, and they simply stood up and looked into the distance.

The youngest Zhu Cong clapped his hands and said: "The scenery on the sea is so good!" The boatman comes and goes on the sea every day, enjoying it every day, so he is not at ease! ”

The captain of the ship looked like he was in his forties, with a dark complexion and a strong body, because he had been running at sea for many years, exposed to the wind and sun, and his face and hands were full of small cuts.

The corners of his mouth hooked when he heard this, and he laughed twice, "Little brother is from a rich family at first glance, and he doesn't know the suffering of the world." Holding a boat is one of the three major sufferings in life, how can you be at ease? ”

Zhu Cong and the other teenagers were stunned, and asked in unison: "What are the three major hardships in life?" ”

The boat boss smiled slightly, but did not answer, and pulled the sail line to control the direction of the boat.

The teenagers wanted to ask Senior Brother Xun, but after Senior Brother Xun got on the boat, he closed his eyes and crossed his knees, and did not say a word, so he had to look at Zhao Lin, the senior brother, as if asking for help.

Zhao Lin glanced at the boatman and said slowly: "The boatman is right, there are three major hardships in life: supporting the boat, striking iron, and selling tofu." ”

"The people who support the boat are exposed to wind and rain every day, and the ship is in danger of capsizing and dying at any time between the wind and waves. Let's just take the boat, of course it is comfortable, do you see that the boatman is tired of rocking the sails? ”

"The boat is lonely and hard, and it is home on the water all year round. Just imagine, you come to run this business, ferrying back and forth every day, insisting on one day to be fine, what about a year? What about ten or twenty years? ”

The boys fell silent when they heard this, and their gaze at the boatman also changed.

He Shaoqun asked: "What about striking iron and selling tofu?" ”

Zhao Lin said: "It's almost the same, striking iron and enduring the scorching heat by the smelting furnace day and night, living is like going to hell, it takes tens of thousands of beatings a day to say less, it is dirty and tired and not to mention, and the body can't stand it after years of fatigue." ”

"There is a blacksmith in the village next door, and he has never had a good piece of clothing on his body, all of them are small holes burned by iron sparks, and his hands and face are full of burn scars."

"Besides, selling tofu, getting up early every day, sleeping at night, sleeping at three watches and getting up at five watches, grinding and making pulp like a donkey, you can only make a small amount of money to make ends meet."

"And the process is the most cumbersome, there can be no mistakes, and the tofu will be broken at the touch of it, be careful, and you can't be sloppy."

The three boatmen looked at each other and sighed silently.

Lin Chaoran chuckled lightly and said disapprerovingly: "Everyone has their own life, and someone must do these things." ”

Zhao Lin frowned slightly, thinking that this could not be wrong, but when he said it at this time, it sounded a little ruthless.

He Shaoqun suddenly made up his mind and said, "Hearing Senior Brother Zhao say this, I won't refine the weapon if I kill it in the future." ”

Senior Brother Xun, who was meditating, opened his eyes abruptly and looked at him with a warning gaze.

He Shaoqun consciously lost his words and quickly closed his mouth.

Fortunately, several of the boatmen did not understand and were not suspicious.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the boat boss smiled and said, "By the way, how do you get to Sanshan Island?" ”

Zhao Lin was afraid that his junior disciples would leak his mouth, so he took the initiative to talk: "What, can't you go to Sanshan Island?" ”

"Not really, it's just that there are some evil ......"

The boat boss said as he tied the sail rope to the mast and fanned the wind with his hand.

Originally, Sanshan Island was located in a remote location, and it was generally not passed through when going out to sea to fish or taking a boat to other places, because there were three hills on the island, so the fishermen gave the island this name.

The island is wooded and picturesque, but strangely enough, it is shrouded in white fog all year round and never dissipates.

Occasionally, fishermen pass by and want to go to the island to rest, but they find that the white fog is getting thicker and thicker, and as long as they walk a hundred steps into the island, they can't see anything.

There was once a brave fisherman who dared to go inside, but somehow he lost his way, went around for an hour or two, and then returned to the shore again.

Because Sanshan Island is so strange and the fishermen and boatmen on the beach are very superstitious, they are generally reluctant to approach, and they are really forced to stay on the shore for a while.

The teenagers glanced at each other, and naturally knew that it was the magic circle that Chenghua Sect had deliberately arranged to prevent mortals from approaching, but no one spoke.

"There are also rumors that hundreds of years ago, fishermen saw immortals flying over the island, and even saw flying boats."

Speaking of this, the captain of the ship smiled, "It's just a rumor, if you listen to it, I guess it's just a mirage." ”

Unconsciously, the ship was on the sea for two hours, and the boat boss suddenly raised his hand and pointed, "There is Sanshan Island in front!" ”

Everyone stared at it, and sure enough, they saw a small island in front of them, shrouded in a thick white mist, and three mountains could be faintly seen standing side by side.

Zhao Lin originally thought that the island must be rich in "aura", but until the shuttle boat touched the beach, he didn't notice anything unusual.

But when I think about it, I understand why.

If the aura here is particularly strong, it is impossible for so many years without a martial artist discovering it, and I want to come to Chenghuazong to take this into account.

The shuttle boat docked, everyone got off the boat one after another, and Senior Brother Xun took out two silver tickets and handed them to the boat boss.

"Originally, I just sent people to the island, without asking the reason, but I also remind you that this island is a little weird, everyone be careful!"

The captain of the boat admonished, turned the bow of the boat, and sailed away.

Li Sancai asked, "Senior Brother Xun, you sent us away, how can you go back?" ”

Senior Brother Xun smiled slightly, "I have my own way." ”

Let's lead the way and walk to the island.
