Chapter 3 Searching for the Island
Without saying more, Xue Tian flipped it over, and an octagonal jade plate appeared in the palm of his hand, which was in the hands of all the guardians on the earth, and it was usually useless, and it was only used for communication in an emergency.
There are seven guardians on the earth, corresponding to time, space and the five elements, and the octagonal jade plate has eight corresponding points, and the seven guardians have taken up seven points, which are distinguished by color, and one point is used to communicate with the internal connection of the miracle space.
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the octagonal jade plate, the light point on it slowly lit up, flashing and extinguishing as if it would be extinguished at any time, Xue Tian didn't care about it, staring at the flickering point of light with expectant eyes.
For a moment, the point of light no longer flickered, and suddenly the light was bright, a little dazzling, the light made the whole room as if in the daytime, dazzling, but only for a moment, a phantom slowly revealed, it was a middle-aged man of thirty or forty years old, handsome face, straight body, three long beards, wearing a light cyan coat, although it was not luxurious, but the clear-eyed person knew at a glance that this person was in a high position, not angry and arrogant.
"Meet the palace master!" Seeing the man revealing his figure, the old ghost and Xue Tian hurriedly stood up and bowed.
The man held his hands and said slowly, "Why are the two elders so polite, it is Xiaotian who should give the two of them a salute." ”
"Hehe! The palace master is polite, although the old man is in the position of the elder, but the rules cannot be broken, and this etiquette is still needed. Xue Tian said with a soft smile.
The man didn't insist anymore, his deep eyes swept to Xue Tian's side, and when he saw a living person standing aside, he asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"
The old ghost grabbed Bai and said: "Palace master, he is Wang Jun." ”
The man who was called the palace master by the old ghost brothers immediately understood, nodded at Wang Jun with a friendly smile on his face, looked sideways at Xue Tian and asked, "I wonder what is the important matter for Elder Taishang to contact me this time?"
Xue Tian's excitement was beyond words, and he glanced at the old ghost sideways and saw the other party nodding. He was no longer reserved, and directly told the matter of the thousand-year-old yellow orange.
One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the value of thousand-year-old yellow oranges would be out of shape even if they saw it on a snowy day, not to mention the so-called palace master, how did they communicate Wang Lung didn't know how to do it, at this time Wang Lung and a brother had just arrived in Bermuda.
Leave the fleet to reach the shore. With the flight speed of the two brothers, that is, the kung fu of the tea, as for whether the current landing site is a free port, Wang Lung does not know the way, he came according to the guidance of the major general, and the other party does not know the way, let alone him.
Fortunately, there was no one nearby when Wang Lung and the others came ashore, otherwise the sudden appearance of the three guys who came from the air would definitely cause a riot. If you don't get it right, you'll be caught as a monster by others.
Walking on the beach, Wang Lung looked around, behind him was an endless sea, but in front of him was a dense forest, all kinds of plants flourished, there were no pedestrian footprints on the beach, it seemed that this place was relatively remote, few people came.
Turned his gaze to the void. Wang Lung released his divine sense to the other party to see if there was anything suspicious nearby, but unfortunately he was rejected by Sora. There is no other reason, this place is a mortal country, don't look at the small area of Bermuda, at least tens of thousands of people live here, and it is not a dangerous place to explore, there is no need to release divine consciousness.
Wang Lung shook his head. He didn't argue anything, and walked forward.
That dense forest is not big, and it may be a little troublesome for ordinary people to walk in it, but there is no problem for Wang Lung and the others, not to mention the two brothers. Wang Lung grew up in Zhuhai since he was a child, and he didn't know how much knowledge of the dense forest was, that is, the kung fu of a meal, and the three of them walked out.
A winding highway came into view, out of the dense forest is this highway, Wang Lung was happy in his heart, there is a highway can see people, he decided to wait a while, see the person to make inquiries, after all, the first time to come here, life is not familiar with the place is not good to walk around.
Wang Lung had a good idea, but unfortunately they waited for a full hour, not to mention people on the whole road, not even a single yellow finch, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation, he checked the information when he came, this place is the British Bermuda Islands, the population is seventy or eighty thousand, the archipelago is not big, there should be no one, what is going on?
Puzzled, Wang Lung decided not to wait any longer, and prepared to move along the road on one side, since there must be a road with its destination, as long as he reached the end of the road, he did not believe that he would not see a living person.
Bermuda is too small, all of them add up to more than 50 square kilometers, and the population is even smaller, and there are two major cities here, one is St. George, and the other is the free port where Wang Lung wants to go.
The population is small, most of them live in the city, and even if there are scattered natives, they will not be stationed along the coastline, Wang Lung did not wait for people to be normal, and walked along the side of the road, and it was not long before a beautiful small city came into view.
Not long after entering the small city, Wang Lung encountered troubles again, and there was nothing else, mainly the language barrier.
Bermuda belongs to the United Kingdom, the local official languages are English and Portuguese, if you speak Mandarin or the lingua franca of the Holy Origin, Wang Lung is not a problem, but English or Portuguese is difficult for Wang Lung, although there are simultaneous translation tools, but unfortunately can only listen but not speak.
There are obstacles to communication and it is very troublesome, there is no way to inquire about the information needed, the donkey's lips are not on the horse's mouth, which does not stump Wang Long, and if you have problems communicating with people, you can read the materials, such as entering the library You can consult a lot of local introductions.
Those who are not interested in introducing Wang Lung in general, the key is those legends or strange materials, as for how to enter the library, this kind of problem is not difficult for Wang Lung and the three of them, even if they can sneak in quietly in the Governor's Palace.
After entering the small city, Wang Lung learned that this city is a famous free port, surrounded by mountains and seas on three sides, and all kinds of cruise ships frequently come and go, Bermuda seems to outsiders to be very mysterious, but there are still many adventurers or tourists who are happy to come here.
For three days, Wang Lung and his brother stayed in the library, and they read all kinds of books in it, and with their memory and reading speed, three days was enough to read the entire library.
"Whew!" Walking out of the library, Wang Lung let out a sigh of relief, raised his arms high, moved his stiff body, and then rushed at the two brothers and asked, "Did you find any clues?"
Both of them shook their heads to indicate that there were no clues, and it was no wonder that the books that could enter the library were all popular goods, and it was difficult to find clues from them.
Wang Lung said helplessly: "Me too." But I did see some travelogues, written by some adventurers, who all mentioned a place to a greater or lesser extent. ”
One preemptively asked, "Where is it?"
Wang Lung said: "Sargassum sea area. ”
When he heard what Wang Lung said, he was puzzled, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said: "Isn't the Sargassum Sea the sea area surrounding the Bermuda Islands? It is said that this sea area is a sea within the ocean, and there are no coasts or islands. And it's not small, where is that place you're talking about?"
Wang Lung smiled slightly and then shook his head: "I don't know, those books say that there are some lucky adventurers who got lost in Bermuda, and met an indigenous village on a small island, the number of people in that village was not large, only a dozen people, and with the help of those natives, they were able to escape, and when they returned to Bermuda, they were able to get out of danger, and when they returned to Bermuda." According to the recollections, they all point to one place, that is, the sargassum sea, but unfortunately the specific location they pointed out is different, there are south and north, very messy, but the description of the indigenous village is the same, and then think about the situation in the sargassum sea, I guess that the island is floating on the sea. The location is not fixed. ”
After listening to what Wang Lung said, the two brothers all fell into deep thought. I recalled the introduction of the sargassum sea area a few days ago, five or six million square kilometers of water, to find a nameless island that changes its location at any time, it is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack, thinking of this, the two shuddered. There is no other reason, looking for that small island in the vast sea area, with Wang Lung's ability, it is impossible to do it, and they can only consume their divine sense, five or six million sea areas. How much consciousness does it take?
Seeing that the two of them bowed their heads and were silent, their brows furrowed slightly, Wang Lung asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
He shook his head and said, "It's okay, are you going to find the natives on that small island?"
Wang Lung nodded and said: "We don't have any clues about the location of Ao Qing, those natives can haunt the Sargassum Sea, and they are not recorded by historical records, and there is not even an official introduction to the island, don't you think there is any problem in this? I think as long as I find them, it will not be difficult to find out Ao Qing's whereabouts, even if there are no clues, at least I can understand what kind of trouble those adventurers encountered at that time, but it is really not good, I have no problem to find the lost Atlantis. ”
He said, "Aren't you afraid that there will be a language barrier after meeting those natives?"
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Wang Lung smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said: "You don't have to worry about this problem, if those natives have a relationship with Ao Qing, then there should be no problem with communication, if there is no relationship at all, at most it is just to play the piano to the cow, in addition to looking for the nameless island, do you two have any other suggestions?"
Likong shook his head, he was in the library for three days, there was no clue at all, and only what Wang Lung said was the most reliable, he couldn't refute it, and even nodded in support.
After making up their minds, the three of them did not delay any longer, left the small city of Freeport, and came to a place where there were no people, and the two brothers took Wang Long directly and left in the sky.
There is no problem with short-distance air flight, but if the entire sargassum sea area is turned over, it is impossible to fly in the sky alone, not that the spiritual power of one brother and two cannot support it, and the key is that some restrictions are in it, and it cannot be arbitrarily used.
There is no means of transportation in the sea area for ordinary people to move an inch, but for the two brothers and Wang Lung, there is no problem at all, not to mention the two brothers, the speed of the light Wang Long, galloping, walking on the sea surface is not a problem at all, and it is impossible to describe it with a dragonfly.
The Sargassum Sea Area is vast, and if Wang Long and the three of them want to find the nameless island, it will not be possible to complete it in a day or two, they must not only search carefully, but also avoid those ships, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for people to see.
Time flies in a hurry, half a month after leaving the free port, the search for the sargassum sea area can be said to be more than ninety percent completed, but unfortunately Wang Lung did not find the so-called island, did not find that there may be three reasons, one is in the area that has not been searched, and the other is that the island is always in a state of drifting, and the location may be behind his own search, and the last one is that the island has disappeared.
The last reason Wang Lung didn't believe it very much, the first two reasons were about the same, without too much hesitation, the three of them continued to search, and soon a day passed, and the entire sargassum sea area was all explored by him, and still found nothing.
"Xiaolong, do you want to continue?" asked Yiyi.
Wang Lung nodded and said: "It seems that the island is just like what is said in the travelogue, the location is changing all the time, we are in the south, it may appear in the north, but with our speed, it is not difficult to find it, it just takes some time, go, continue to look for it, it's a big deal to waste more than half a month, I don't believe I can't find it." ”
After Wang Lung finished speaking, he galloped forward again, and the two brothers did not refute at the same time.
In this way, another ten days have passed, and it has been a month since Wang Lung left the fleet, and the second search for the sargassum sea area can be said to have been completed for the most part, and there is still no result at all.
As time passed, not to mention the two brothers, even Wang Lung began to wonder if the nameless island really existed.
Standing on the endless sea, with a mass of sargassum at his feet, Wang Lung stared ahead, there were no results from the search for nearly a month, his patience had gradually exhausted, and the resentment against the old ghost in his heart broke out again.
Just when Wang Lung wanted to go crazy, he suddenly said, "Xiaolong, look, what is that?" (to be continued......)
