Chapter 20: The Journey of Chivalry
On the fifth day of the lunar month, the coast of the South China Sea.
He had already returned the black and white swords to Shi Qing and his wife, and the two knew that Shi Zhongyu had been taken care of by him some time ago, and their gratitude was beyond words, but Su Xin had no hope for Shi Zhongyu, so he casually responded and left in a hurry.
Although it is already winter, the seaside is not very cold, and the sea breeze is very slow, blowing a hint of coolness on the face, and the salty taste is very fresh.
Soon a small boat came from the sky, at first it was just a black spot, and then it slowly grew larger, but it was a man in yellow who arrived in a small boat.
The man stepped forward and bowed: "Your Excellency must be Master Su." ”
Su Xin nodded with a smile, although this man did not show his kung fu, he had the demeanor of everyone between his words and deeds, and sure enough, he was a great man on the island.
The man smiled and led Su Xin to the boat, gently shaking the wooden oars, the small boat was light and agile, riding the wind and waves, and heading south.
Su Xin has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and he has never seen the ocean, let alone had the opportunity to take a boat into the sea, he looked back at the land, and after a while, he only turned into a black spot, surrounded by the vast ocean, and a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened.
The great terror between heaven and earth can be felt more truly in the ocean.
The boat was filled with some dry food and water, and the two of them were hungry and thirsty, so three days passed, and a black line appeared in the southeast, and the man looked at it and grinned: "That's Xia Ke Island." ”
Su Xin's face was also happy, this sea is vast, and it is a strange place, it is inevitable that he is a little frightened, but now he feels more cordial when he sees the land.
After sailing for more than an hour, he saw that the island was near, and a rocky mountain rose over it, and the mountain was covered with lush trees, and the man jumped out of the boat, tied the cable to a stone, and took out of his bosom a conch, and blew it with a whining sound. Not long after, three men in yellow shirts came from the mountain, walked quickly in front of Su Xin, bowed down and said, "The island owner is waiting for the master at the State Guest House, and Su Gongzi is invited." ”
Su Xin smiled: "I'm tired of a few people leading the way." ”
The men smiled and walked towards the mountain.
Su Xin walked and saw that the environment on this island was quiet, the mountain road was barren and grassy, and after walking for a while, he heard the sound of water in the distance, but when he approached, it was a mountain stream, and at the end of the stream was a waterfall, the leader took a raincoat from the tree on the side and gave it to a few people, and jumped into the waterfall, it turned out that there was a hole behind the waterfall.
Behind the waterfall is a long road, in which the light is dim, but the road can also be identified, follow the man all the way, you know that the mountain road is carved according to the mountain, sometimes suddenly open, the crystal jade on the mountain shining with strange light, sometimes suddenly shrinking, only one person can pass.
After walking for about two miles, a door made of jade appeared in front of him, with the words "guest house" on it, Su Xin heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and thought that the banquet had already begun.
The man who led the way looked back and said, "Childe is a little late, and the banquet is about to start, so I'm afraid there is no time for Childe to rest." ”
Su Xin smiled: "It's okay, just go in." ”
The man led him into the cave, and then he disappeared, thinking that he was busy with other things.
Su Xin saw that the area in the cave was quite large, the surrounding mountains were lit with candles the thickness of a baby's forearm, more than a hundred tables were placed in the cave, and there were already many guests seated, and hundreds of men in yellow shirts were shuttling between them, but they were guiding the guests to sit down and eat some fruits and snacks.
The atmosphere in the cave was depressing, and many people were in a state of panic on their faces, and where were they in the mood to speak, only the little beggar turned into Shi Potian and a white-haired and mighty old man said a few words from time to time.
Su Xin looked for it and sat down on the table behind Shi Potian.
Although Su Xin has been wandering the rivers and lakes for several years, there are very few people who are familiar with him, only Ding Busi is sitting in the corner, but he doesn't know what to think about, and he doesn't notice him.
When Shi Potian and Bai Zhangmen talked about Mrs. Bai, Ding Busi suddenly lost his temper and shouted, and another woman with short stature was against Ding Busi everywhere.
Listening to what they said, it seems that Ding Busi is in love with Mrs. Bai, so he will not marry for the rest of his life, but the woman said that Ding Busi also has an illegitimate daughter.
Before everyone could explain the matter, a few drums sounded, and a man said loudly: "The two island owners of Xia Ke Island, the Dragon Island Master and the Mu Island Master, welcome all the guests. ”
Then the middle door was opened, and first a group of disciples from Xia Ke Island came out and saluted everyone, and the messenger of good and evil was among the disciples, which surprised Su Xin.
If the disciples of this island master are all about the same as the envoys of good and evil, then there are too many masters on this chivalrous island, but they have cultivated so many strong people in twenty or thirty years, could it be that they already have a method of mass production masters?
The disciples saluted, divided into two teams, and the two island owners came out hand in hand, one in yellow clothes and one in green clothes, and the later events were presided over by the dragon island master in yellow clothes, and the island owner of Tsing Yi did not seem to be good at talking, and only occasionally said a word.
Su Xin had already learned the true purpose of Xia Ke Island from the mouths of the two envoys, so the island owner explained the origin of Xia Ke Island and the covenant of Laba porridge to everyone later.
The laba porridge came up, he drank it with his stuffy head, and he also begged for what people didn't want, and drank seven or eight bowls all the time, and his stomach was round before he stopped, and he knew that this laba porridge had the effect of nourishing the meridians and increasing the true qi, and he was willing to let it go when he encountered it.
Except for Shi Potian, who was ignorant and ignorant, he only drank a lot of porridge when he felt hungry, and everyone else only tasted it, always feeling that the green porridge hid poison.
When the two island owners took out the information booklet made for everyone on the rivers and lakes, Su Xin's head was shocked, and he only felt that if he had obtained a treasure, his heart couldn't help but become hot, if he wanted to think that there would be less trouble on the rivers and lakes, intelligence was the primary problem.
Xia Kedao is located overseas, but it can remotely control the Central Plains, and the information of hundreds of Jianghu masters is complete, which is more informed than the Jianghu people who have been in the Central Plains for a long time.
If Shi Qing and his wife could have found this place earlier, I am afraid that they would not have had to go to great lengths to find the enemy on the rivers and lakes for more than ten years.
He has the heart to rectify the rivers and lakes in his heart, if he can get the intelligence agency of Xia Ke Island, he will be like a tiger with wings, and the success rate will be much greater.
Then everyone talked about the so-called stone cave illustration, the two boiled haha laughed, waved their hands to let the disciples move the screen, a stone road was exposed, everyone walked forward more than ten zhang, and came to a stone gate in front of it, there was the ancient text "chivalrous travel" three words.
A Huangshan disciple opened the stone door and said softly: "There are twenty-four stone chambers in the cave, you can watch them at will, and if you are tired of seeing, you can walk around. ”
Everyone flocked in, and immediately there was an exclamation, it turned out that the martial arts warriors who had entered the cave twenty or thirty years ago were really in the cave, but they all stared intently at the pictures and words on the stone cave, or bowed their heads and pondered, or practiced continuously, in short, they were all concentrated, and none of them turned their heads to look at these newcomers.
However, when Bai Zizi and a few famous knights saw their acquaintances, they went up to talk, and they were overjoyed.
When everyone saw that there was no danger on Xia Ke Island, they panicked a little, and they all went to see the words and pictures on the stone cave, and after a while, they were all immersed in it, thinking about the mystery.
