Lin Yi glanced thoughtfully around the island, and finally turned his gaze back to the beach, and counted carefully, there were eight boatmen, including one wounded, and five spirit officers, except for Ren Dingbei and Xiang Zhicheng, each with a Dharma protector, plus the officers and soldiers who accompanied him, a total of twenty-two people.

At first glance, the team is quite huge, and any ghosts and monsters can be resisted. At this point, he felt a little relieved, and asked the boatmen, "May I ask the eldest brothers, where is the fishing village on the island now?"

Knowing that he was a spiritual official and had a noble status, the boatmen did not dare to slack off, and one of them replied respectfully: "My lord, our village is behind the mountain." ”

"The south side of the hillside...... Lin Yi muttered to himself, and then said: "I know, it's not early, you should quickly take the wounded back to Qingbo City for treatment." ”

The boatman lowered his head, looked a little depressed, hesitated for a moment and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I and those brothers are fishermen on the island. ”

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered the conversation he had with the diners last night, Qingbo Island was infected with a strange disease, the waterway had been banned by the government, and the fishermen could land on the island, but they could not leave.

He looked at the boatman, looked at it fixedly, and frowned, "But I see that you are strong, your face is ruddy, and your skin is free of rotten sores, and you don't look like you are suffering from a serious disease......

The boatman exclaimed in surprise, "Your Excellency, do you know anything strange about the island?"

Lin Yi nodded, and spread his hands to signal him to continue. The boatman was shocked and said: "The adults are like gods, the people admire, my children—no, the brothers on Qingbo Island are finally saved!"

Lin Yi asked solemnly, "Could you please tell me in detail, what were the symptoms of the strange disease?"

The boatman opened his mouth and said twice, but he stopped talking, and his eyes fell down, as if there was something unspeakable.

Lin Yi looked at it in his eyes, and his heart was faintly anxious, but he still patiently comforted: "Big brother, don't be afraid, I am the spiritual official of the Heavenly Book Mansion, and I am in charge of cutting evil and pulling out disasters." All the weirdness that happened on the island, you just said it was okay, I will solve it. ”

Ren Dingbei didn't know when he stood next to the two of them, and when he saw that the boatman refused to speak, he scolded angrily: "Well, you boatman, we are the protector of the Dharma, and the four kings have given you the right to cut first and then play! If you don't report it, dare to hide it at all, and teach your head to fall to the ground on the spot!"

The boatman was so frightened that he knelt on the beach, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried: "The immortals are angry, and all the villains are recruited-"

It turned out that the boatman's name was Li Tiecha, who had lived on Qingbo Island for generations, and his parents died young, and he married a peasant woman in the village when he was a teenager. But it was not until he was 30 years old that his wife gave birth to a daughter named Li Shengnan, and after another five years, he finally welcomed a boy named Li Dexi.

The story also starts with these two children.

Qingbo Island is located in the eastern border of Yunguo, surrounded by the sea on all sides, and used to be used by ships and prosperous commerce. On the island, there is a lot of construction, with high-rise buildings and fortresses in Diaoyutai, and the scenery is pleasant. Later, the island was invaded by the Great You, and the island was occupied by the navy, and the buildings on the north slope were all destroyed in the war, turned into remnants and broken tiles, and finally buried in the dense forest.

The former glory is gone, and the residents have all relocated, and it is now an island that no one cares about. The two children of the Li family grew up here and have been close since childhood, and several strange things suddenly happened on the island.

First, every windy season, Qingbo Island will make a strange sound, whimpering, like a ghost crying wolf, and everyone who hears it is afraid and palpitated.

Second, the fish in the sea are changed, occasionally a few sharp teeth without eyes, and they bite when they encounter people, and they can tear flesh and blood alive.

The third is that there will be a heavy fog on the night of the full moon, and the lantern will not shine five steps, and those who return late will be lost and unable to return, and they will be found the next day, and they will all fall on the side of the road, weak and unconscious. After being dragged home, they all coughed up blood and lost weight, and then eroded to death from the inside out.

Fourth, the villagers disappeared for no reason, and one night, the two children of the Li family were playing on the beach and did not return. Li Tiecha was anxious when he found out, and hurriedly went out to look for it, and finally found Li Shengnan who had fainted not far from home, and carried him back to the house to take care of him. I fell asleep in the middle of the night, and when I woke up, I saw that Katsuo was no longer in bed, and I searched the whole house, and there was no trace of him.

"Pity my wife, who raised her children with hard work, couldn't stand the grief, and chose to commit suicide by hanging a beam!"

After Li Tiecha wiped his tears and finished speaking, he was about to stand up, Lin Yi snorted coldly: "Who allowed you to get up?"

Seeing Lin Yi turn his face at first glance, Li Tiecha was so shocked that he knelt down again, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, adult, the villain's words are true, I don't believe you asked a few other brothers." ”

As early as when they asked, the spirit officer and the boatmen had already gathered the three of them in a circle, and several boatmen helped to intercede: "The villain can vouch, he is telling the truth!"

Xiang Zhicheng squeezed into the crowd, stretched out his hand to help Li Tiecha up, and turned back to Lin Yi and scolded: "Senior Brother Lin, you and I are both spiritual officials, and we are in high positions, so we should defend the way and help the world, not be arrogant to innocent people!"

"Huh?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, and wanted to speak, but his sleeve was gently pulled by Gu Wanxi, so he had to exhale and be silent, not arguing.

Ren Dingbei's expression was solemn, he was the leader of the team on this trip, although he let Lin Yi play the role of a madman, but now is definitely not the moment of infighting, his thoughts turned around, and he stopped: "Okay, you two don't quarrel, so many outsiders see jokes, what kind of system?"

Lin Yi and Xiang Zhicheng hugged their fists at him one after another, and stepped aside silently. Ren Dingbei bowed slightly to the two of them, and then raised his voice: "Everyone, tonight is fourteen, the moon is about to be full, and the suburbs are not a place to stay for a long time! While it is not yet dark, we will hurry to the village to rest, and discuss strategies by the way." ”

The crowd responded, and the fishermen brought two oars, made a stretcher out of vines, and carried the wounded to the south of the island.

Lin Yi fell to the back of the team, and Black Eagle stood on his shoulder and said, "Hehe, Childe, do you want to learn from Senior Brother Ren's domineering, but you were scolded back?"

"It's not. Lin Yi shook his hand in contemplation, and instructed Gu Wanxi: "You go and call Li Tiecha over, I want to make amends to him." ”

Gu Wanxi was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed, "Why should you condescend?"

"Go. Lin Yi gave her a blank look.

Gu Wanxi couldn't help it, so she could only trot to catch up with the team, patted Li Tiecha on the back, and said a few words beside him. The two turned around and walked back, Li Tiecha's face was full of embarrassment, looking at Lin Yi hesitantly, not knowing how to deal with it.

Lin Yi didn't speak, and led them to slow down and gradually distance themselves from the team. Black Eagle suddenly teased and said, "Hehe, if Lin Gongzi can't put down his face, then I'll do it for me, right?"

"Demon, monster?!" Seeing the black eagle speak, Li Tiecha was so shocked that he jumped out three feet away.

Lin Yi stood still, his eyes swept coldly towards Li Tiecha, stared at the other party, observed his expression and movements, and asked in a cold voice: "What else are you hiding from me?"

"The adult has been wronged, the villain has already confessed!" Li Tiecha hurriedly knelt on the ground, his face flushed, and then his lips pursed and raised slightly, revealing a trace of guilt.

Lin Yi pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand, pulled out a half-foot blade, and threatened sharply: "You husband, you really don't see the king of Hades and don't give up——"

Li Tiecha panicked instantly, his shoulders trembled into a sieve, and he still gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak.

"Do you think you can fool me?" Lin Yi grinned, slowly pulled out Hanguang, swung his blade across the side of his neck, watched the other party's beads of sweat slide down, fall down the blade, and asked in turn: "Where did you lie?" Is it a strange thing on the island...... Wrong...... Or are you your children...... Neither is it right...... Could it be your dead wife?"

Li Tiecha stiffened, his heart almost stopped beating, and he raised his head to look at Lin Yi in astonishment, his eyes were full of fear!

The light swirled around his neck, the tip reaching his throat. Li Tiecha trembled so much that he couldn't help himself, looked up at Lin Yisen's cold eyes, and muttered, "Your Excellency, ......"

Lin Yi looked down at him and threatened: "If you dare to tell half a lie, I will stab the knife in it and tell me honestly - how did she die?"

After a long time, Li Tiecha finally gave up concealment, and cried and shouted: "I drank too much horse urine that day, and rushed home to see that the children were not there, and there was a fog outside. I was very annoyed at the time, so I scolded her a few words, but she couldn't think of it......"

"What are you doing?"

"Sick and lying ......"

"You just scolded her?"

Li Tiecha's eyes dodged, and he muttered, "I ......"

"Say!" Lin Yi shouted.

Li Tiecha said in a panic: "I made a move, the child is missing, and I am in a hurry!"

"And then?" Lin Yi opened his eyes with an awe-inspiring expression.

"Broke one of her arms. Li Tiecha sobbed and said, his voice intermittent: "I'll go out to find the child...... When I come back...... The inner man has committed suicide by hanging himself......"

Lin Yi frowned, his face was full of anger, and he asked impatiently, "It's gone?"

Li Tiecha trembled and said: "I fell asleep when I was drunk at night, and when I woke up in the morning, the bodies of my wife and daughter were missing. ”

Lin Yi asked two more times, and when he saw that the other party had all explained, he tried his best to suppress his indignation, withdrew Hanguang, and a word popped out from between his teeth: "Get out!"

Li Tiecha got up in a panic as if he had been amnestied, turned his head in fear and ran, stumbling all the way, for fear of landing half a step slowly.

"My lord!" "Lin Gongzi ......"

Black Eagle and Gu Wanxi spoke up at the same time, wanting to comfort them. Lin Yi put the knife into the sheath, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just don't understand why he can be so ruthless to his relatives?"

Lin Yi's face was gloomy, he sighed quietly, and stepped forward to catch up with the team in front.

Towards the end of the day, several boatmen took turns carrying the wounded, rounded the north slope, stepped on the south bank, and led the spirit officers to the west corner of the fishing village, where the red sun had just set.

Lin Yi stood on a high place, looking at the village, which was extremely narrow, and a thin road of white sand passed through it, stopping in front of a large mansion on the east side. After counting, there were about 40 families on both sides, some fruit trees and flowers were raised in the farmyard, and rattan hammocks hung under a few trees.

The boatmen led the crowd to the mansion, and a group of children huddled in front of their houses to watch, their sun-soaked skin dark and shiny, their eyes full of curiosity.

Li Tiecha adjusted his mentality and led the way for Ren Dingbei, while explaining: "This is the house of the village chief's family, he knows that all the adults are coming, so he will get up early today to clean up, let all the family members move out, and welcome the spirit officer to move in." ”

"Oh, it's hard work. Ren Dingbei smiled heartily and stepped into the mansion with his legs raised. The other spirits followed, entering the house and choosing their favorite bedrooms.

"Please rest early, and the villain will go back and inform the village mother-in-law to send dinner. After Li Tiecha finished speaking, he withdrew from the door, his head always lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Yi.

The rest of the boatmen said goodbye one after another, Xiang Zhicheng stopped the stretcher, waved his hand and gave orders to the officers and soldiers: "A few of you come here, carry the stretcher into the house, and use medical skills in the lower section, and hand over the wounded to me for treatment." ”

Lin Yi looked at his back, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after a moment, he looked away, and walked into the south bedroom with Gu Wanxi and Black Eagle.

The two put away their luggage, pushed open the window, and the evening breeze blew in their faces, not far from the coast, and the tide could be seen rising and falling, and the waves were rippling in the distance.

On the eastern sea, a bright moon has quietly risen, as bright as a jade plate.
