Chapter 720 Paradise Island
"The immortal didn't say anything, just made a mark on his fingers, and then the Vostok slowly floated out of the deep water, carrying us into the distance, and in a short time, an island appeared in our sight, which is now Paradise Island."
What happened later was obvious, Zheng Dongguo led the remaining passengers and crew to the island as a temporary shelter, hoping that a passing ship would rescue them.
However, because all the communication equipment had been damaged, the passengers were unable to contact the outside world and could not confirm the location of the island.
In order to survive, the family began to build houses, pick wild fruits, and grow crops, and over time, a town was gradually built on the island.
Although Paradise Island is surrounded by the sea and is not inhabited, the island has a pleasant climate and abundant wildlife, which is enough to support tens of thousands of people on the island.
The original passengers and crew have multiplied on the island, passed down from generation to generation, and now the entire paradise island has nearly 10,000 islanders!
As time passed, the first group of islanders died one by one, leaving only Zheng Dongguo alone, so he became the respected person in charge of Paradise Island, and any affairs on the island must obey his decisions.
"Haven't you ever thought of returning to China after all these years?"
Before I could speak, Bai Ze couldn't help but ask.
"In the first few years, I did think about it."
Zheng Dongguo sighed, and said leisurely: "It's just that in the waters near Paradise Island, there is a group of sea wolves, they wander around Paradise Island all day long, and once they find a living person at sea, they will launch a sneak attack as soon as possible. ”
"In the first few years, there were more than 50 islanders who were eaten by sea wolves alone, and then everyone's morale was gradually worn out, and they no longer talked about returning to their hometowns."
"Later, new generations were born, they had no concept of their homeland, and Huaxia was just an unfamiliar name to them, so from then on, we cut off this idea."
I thought of the stone statue standing outside the council hall again, and I couldn't help asking, "By the way, the stone statue outside should be the dignity of that immortal, right?" ”
"Not bad,"
Zheng Dongguo nodded and said: "The immortal man saved us, he is the savior of the entire paradise island, in order to commemorate his old man, we carved such a stone statue." ”
"Every year on the day of the shipwreck, the islanders of the entire Paradise Town will kneel in front of the stone statue to show their gratitude to the immortals."
I asked curiously, "Didn't that immortal ever appear later?" ”
I thought that Zheng Dongguo and the others should never see that immortal again, but I didn't expect that his answer was beyond my expectations.
"In the past 50 years, the immortals have come to Paradise Island once every few years to pray for the islanders to eliminate disasters, and it is under the protection of his old man that our Paradise Island can develop to the extent it is today."
That's great!
Hearing this, I immediately stood up: "Uncle Zheng, when is the next time the immortal will appear, we want to meet the immortal once, and we have something to ask for." ”
After Zheng Dongguo's narration, I can already roughly confirm in my heart that the immortal who saved them back then should be a member of the immortal clan!
As for whether this immortal is a Kunlun immortal clan or an immortal on an overseas immortal island, it is still impossible to confirm.
But in any case, as long as you can meet this immortal, all mysteries will be solved.
The traces of the immortal kings, the overseas immortal clans, and even the way to crack the hundred-year catastrophe will find the answer!
Bai Ze, Langnie, Jing Jing and Liao Xian'er also stood up, unable to hide their excitement, everyone knew what Zheng Dongguo's answer meant.
"Sorry, I'm not sure about that."
It's just that while I was waiting for Zheng Dongguo's answer with anticipation, he poured a scoop of cold water on me.
"The immortal never greets him in advance when he comes to Paradise Island, and we don't know his old man's whereabouts."
"If you want to see the immortals, you can only stay on the paradise island and wait patiently, as for when and when you can see the immortals, I can't answer this."
As soon as Zheng Dongguo said this, a few of us suddenly sat down like eggplants.
There is still more than a month to come before the Centennial Tribulation, we want to see the immortals, but we have to wait until we don't know what the Year of the Monkey is, we can afford to wait, but the entire Yang World can't afford to wait!
"Don't be discouraged."
Seeing that our faces were full of despair, Zheng Dongguo smiled faintly: "Because recently, the sea wolf infestation has become more and more serious, I am planning to report the situation to the immortal master and ask him to help drive out those sea wolves." ”
"The immortal's mind has reached heaven and earth, and he can hear the pious call of the islanders, and I believe that it will not be long before he will come to the paradise island to solve our difficulties."
"You can stay for a while, and worship the stone statue every day, and I think the immortals can also hear your call."
We didn't have a good way to deal with it now, so a few people discussed it briefly and made a decision quickly.
"Okay, since Uncle Zheng is so hospitable, then we might as well be respectful."
The five men stood up at the same time and arched their hands.
It seems that Zheng Dongguo really wants us to stay, and he doesn't know for what purpose.
However, in order to meet the immortal, we tentatively promised him to stay on the paradise island for three days, and if we met the immortal during this time, it would be very good.
If the immortals never appear, then we will leave the paradise island and find another way.
"Hahaha, good, good!"
Hearing that we agreed to stay, Zheng Dongguo was also very happy and laughed.
"Dali, pass on my order, hold a bonfire party in the council hall square tonight, and all islanders can participate for free!"
"Yes!"
The strong man under the stairs replied respectfully, and then turned to leave.
After that, we went to the inn arranged for us by Zheng Dongguo to rest, led by another strong man.
In the evening, several strong men reappeared outside the inn door and invited us to the bonfire.
When I came to the square outside the council hall again, it was already crowded and lively.
In the center of the square, more than a dozen bonfires were lit, on which game similar to roast suckling pig was making a sizzling sound, and the aroma spread throughout Paradise Town.
A row of sexy, seductively dressed women, dancing around a bonfire, is extremely charming.
A few of us were invited to sit next to Zheng Dongguo, enjoying the dance, drinking and eating meat, so happy.
"Mr. Cheng, the treatment of our paradise island is okay, right?"
Zheng Dongguo asked me with a smile while holding his wine glass.
