Chapter 47: The New Lord of Drifting Island (3)
Zuo Chaoyang and Lin Yi traveled for a day and a half to the shore of Bohai. Due to the war between the three major factions and Piaoling Island, the situation was tense, and the post station set up by Piaoling Island on the sea had already been withdrawn.
Lin Yi bought a boat from a nearby fisherman.
Zuo Chaoyang took Ling's corpse down from the car.
Facing the cold winter sea, Zuo Chaoyang muttered: "Master, I hope you will return with a soul, and the apprentice will take you home." ”
After saying that, Zuo Chaoyang jumped up with Ling Xi in his arms and swept to the boat.
Lin Yi swung the oar, and the boat went forward like an arrow from the string.
......
The two took turns paddling almost non-stop, and after nearly a day, the unique floating island in the world came into their eyes.
Lin Yi stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Drifting Island that was getting closer and closer, and an indescribable emotion came to his heart.
At this moment, he actually had a joy of going home, and a sense of emotion.
Lin Yi said in his heart: I will never let Drifting Zero Island be destroyed. Even if you don't be the king of the south. I'm not uncommon to be the king of the South. I just need to keep Drift Island......
Just when the boat was still dozens of feet away from the dock, I suddenly heard a sound from the dock.
"Who is it?"
Zuo Chaoyang said loudly: "Zuo Chaoyang escorts the remains of the island owner back to the island......"
Zuo Chaoyang's voice echoed on the surface of the sea and also reached the dock.
When the leader on the dock heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to report to Meimei quickly.
So when the ship docked, the men, women, and children of the floating island flocked to the dock. A white robe surged. And the cries of grief also rang out one after another.
At the front are Mei Mei, the hunchbacked old man, the head of Piaoling Island, Mo Kuo, Er Kui, Han Biyue, Wei Jiangping, Leng Ethereal and others.
After Mei Mei led the remnants back to the island, the people on the island learned that Ling Xian had died in the "Nine Extinction World Array". So now the entire Floating Zero Island is immersed in a sad atmosphere.
According to the law of the island, the owner of the island was buried at sea after his death. Mei Mei heard that Ling's body was buried by Shaolin monks in the mass grave beach, and she planned to send someone to find Ling's body and return to the island, and then hold a funeral.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Chaoyang now sent Ling Xi's body back.
The people of Drifting Island flocked to the docks, and then they separated on both sides of the docks to greet Ling Xi's body with grief. Countless tearful eyes looked at the small boat that was gradually approaching the pier.
Zuo Chaoyang stood on the boat holding Ling Xian's body.
Zuo Chaoyang choked up on Ling Xi's body: "Master, go home." This is your favorite Drifting Island. And I also know that there is no one in this world who loves Drifting Island more than you......"
The boat leaned on the dock, and Zuo Chaoyang swept onto the dock with Ling's body in his arms, and then walked forward step by step.
Ling's white hair hung down, fluttering in the sea breeze. Make the atmosphere more mournful.
Many people wept aloud when they saw this. The cry echoed over Drifting Zero Island.
Mo Kuo, the head of Piaoling, shouted sadly: "Drifting Zero Island, kneel down to welcome the island master back to the island!"
So the sound of "plopping" continued, and the people of Drifting Island knelt on the ground one after another. Their white cloaks fluttered in the sea breeze. The fluttering is like a piece of snow, and it also flies into a piece of sadness.
Even Wei Jiangping knelt on the ground. Because it's the rules of the island. Moreover, Ling Xian is the son of Ling Qianchou, and Wei Jiangping is also saddened by Ling Xian's death. He was also in tears at the moment.
Only Mei Mei did not kneel, because she was the mother of the temple goddess. It is the same as the identity of Ling.
Except for Mei Mei, everyone knelt on the ground.
Zuo Chaoyang held Ling Xi's body, and Lin Yi followed him, slowly walking in the "human corridor" formed by the people kneeling on Drifting Island. The scene was so solemn and sad.
When Zuo Chaoyang walked to the end of the "human corridor", the people of the floating island who were kneeling behind him rose one after another.
Mei Mei said to Zuo Chaoyang: "Send the island lord's undead to the temple." ”
Zuo Chaoyang carried the master's body and walked towards the white temple on the island.
People are following behind. The crying continued. There are many people who have difficulty walking due to excessive grief and are supported to walk.
When he arrived at the temple, Zuo Chaoyang went in first. Lin Yi, who was following him, was about to enter, when he suddenly heard Mo Kuo, the chief manager of Drifting Zero, say, "King Lin, only people from Drifting Zero Island can enter the temple. Please also ask King Lin to ...... you outside."
Mei Mei interrupted Mo Kuo's words and said, "Manager Mo, you still know. King Lin is actually a person from Drifting Island. He was the temple guard envoy personally ordered by Lingji Niangniang back then. King Lin's name is still on the temple staff book. ”
At this time, many people also said that Lin Yi was indeed the temple guard envoy personally ordered by Mo Lingji.
So Mo Kuo didn't question it anymore.
Zuo Chaoyang carried Ling Sin's body into the temple, and Mei Mei and the people of Piao Ling Island also entered.
Entering the temple hall, the people of Floating Zero Island stood in order of seniority. Because of the temple law, those who enter the temple are not allowed to cry, laugh, or make loud noises. Therefore those who wept bitterly also stopped weeping.
But tears still spread across their faces.
Although Zuo Chaoyang is the heir of the owner of Drifting Zero Island, he doesn't know anything about the holy law of the island. Mei Mei instructed him to place Ling Sin's body at the feet of the sea god.
Zuo Chaoyang placed Ling Xi's body at the feet of the sea god.
Ling Xian was full of piety and awe to the sea god before his death, and he didn't know how many times he had kowtowed at the feet of the sea god during his lifetime. After his death, he returned to the feet of the god of the sea again. Only this time he was not kneeling, he was lying down. Moreover, it is no longer possible to kowtow to the god of the sea.
Then Mei Mei knelt down towards the sea god, and Zuo Chaoyang also knelt down. The two knelt down, and all the people in the temple also knelt down. They kowtowed seven times to the statue of the sea god under the leadership of Mei Mei. After kowtowing, everyone continued to kneel on the ground and began to recite eulogies.
Lin Yi also had some eulogy, but Zuo Chaoyang didn't know a word, so he could only move his lips and pretend. But the sadness in his heart was very real.
After the eulogy was recited, Mei Mei and Zuo Chaoyang stood up.
Then the crowd rose up one after another.
Mei Mei looked at everyone, and she spoke: "Zuo Chaoyang is the apprentice of the Lord of Ling Island. According to the last wish of the Lord of Ling Island. After his death, Zuo Chaoyang took over as the owner of the island. ”
Zuo Chaoyang is Ling Xian's apprentice, and there are not many people who know about it on Drifting Zero Island.
And only a few important people know about it.
So people were surprised, and some began to whisper.
In the end, important figures such as the hunchbacked old man, Han Biyue, and Mo Kuo confirmed what Mei Mei said.
The people of Drifting Zero Island were relieved.
Mei Mei said again: "According to the rules of the island, after the mourning is completed, the new island owner will succeed to the throne." Now please ask the new island lord to put the body of the island lord on the holy case, and then inherit the position of the island lord. ”
Zuo Chaoyang actually didn't want to be the owner of this floating island at all in his heart, but he couldn't live up to his master's wishes. Zuo Chaoyang picked up Ling Xi's body and placed it on the holy case on the left side of the sea god.
Then he stood in front of the statue of the sea god under the guidance of Mei Mei.
As soon as Zuo Chaoyang stood up, everyone on the floating island knelt down and bowed. They chanted.
"Meet the left island master, we will follow the island master to the death. May my lord keep the drift safe, and may my lord live a long life......"
Looking at the men and women of Drifting Island who were kneeling on the ground in white clothes, Zuo Chaoyang really had mixed feelings in his heart, which was indescribable. It even feels like a dream. He was originally the young master of the Purple Bamboo Forest, but now he has become the master of Floating Zero Island. It's really hard to explain.
So far, Zuo Chaoyang has become the new owner of Piaoling Island.
After worshipping the island owner, Zuo Chaoyang asked everyone to get up.
At this time, Erkui hissed: "The island owner...... Ling, Ling...... Lord Ling died so miserably. Thou shalt avenge him......! Shaolin, kill those bald deceitful Duxi, especially that Miaoxue, you must not let go of ......"
Before Zuo Chaoyang could speak, a voice suddenly sounded.
"This revenge cannot be avenged. If it's not Miaoxue, you'll be finished, and Drifting Zero Island will be finished!"
