Chapter 237: Lin Yi is out
On the third day of the arrival of the Celestial Dragon Sect's sea ships on the Seven Star Island.
The sky was bright, and Yuan Feng returned to Wolf Island in despair. I wanted to rush back overnight and report the matter of the whirlpool devouring the disciple to the master. But the fisherman said that he would not hold the boat at all, and he had no choice but to wait until dawn to return.
Zhen Yuanzi was shocked when he learned that his disciple was missing, and hurriedly found Elder Meng to inform him of the matter. At this time, the matter of the whirlpool cannibalism has spread all over Seven Star Island.
In a thatched hut, everyone gathered. Elder Jiang sat upright, holding his silver beard with an expressionless face, and quietly listened to Yuan Feng recount the changes of last night.
Yuan Feng recounted what happened, and then retreated to the side with palpitations, not daring to say more.
Elder Jiang sighed secretly in his heart, it was unbelievable that a quiet fishing village island could have such accidents. He pondered for a moment, looked at Yuan Feng and asked, "Is that whirlpool still there?"
Yuan Feng stepped forward again, bowed and replied, "Just after the hour last night, the whirlpool disappeared. Yesterday, the juniors and a few brothers were just playing, and after dinner in a fishing village, they were delayed for some hours. When Senior Brother Yu is going to Pojun Island, it should be the right time. That strange whirlpool, from the appearance to the disappearance, only took more than an hour. The junior once asked the fisherman's eldest brother, and he didn't know why. ”
After Elder Jiang asked about those few words again, he pondered. Later, everyone asked the elders in the fishing village to inquire, only to learn that since ancient times, the fishermen on Qixing Island have had the custom of not boating at night, and the words passed down are also true, but no one knows its intentions. And Pojun Island is at the westernmost tip of Qixing Island, more than 20 miles away from Wolf Island, there are very few people living on the island, and that sea area is close to the sea, even the locals don't know what the situation is on the sea.
When the people were disappointed, the elder of the fishing village said that he had heard his grandfather say that on the days when the moon was full, some people really disappeared on Qixing Island for no reason, and no one knew whether it was caused by sailing at night.
Everyone thought about it, but they didn't come up with a good way. But the disciples were gone, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, and the ships couldn't set sail.
Looking at the expressions of Zhen Yuanzi and Meng Shan, you can know that the two of them are in a hurry, they are their own apprentices! Master and apprentice are like father and son, and there is no adulteration at all.
If Elder Jiang hadn't taken care of his identity, he would have been able to pull off his beard. Why did you go on a trip with these disciples, and there were so many troubles! The plan now was to wait for it to get dark and go to that sea area to check it out in person.
Zhen Yuanzi saw that everyone was full of sorrow, and knew that he would not be able to find his apprentice for a while. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, he looked at Yuan Feng beside him, he was angry, he went up and grabbed Yuan Feng's ears, regardless of the apprentice's stomping and howling, and scolded: "You stinky boy, I can't stand you two for a while, so I can stand it one by one! Run around and get me into trouble! If your senior brother has three long and two short, I can't spare you." ”
"Oh, Master, you have lighter hands! You don't blame me for this! I can't let my brother go around and come back by himself, right? Your old man knows that I almost swallowed that hole. At that time, I realized that it was not good, and I just wanted to save the fisherman brother who didn't know martial arts. You must know that the brothers and sisters all have martial arts, who knows...... That's it...... Master, be merciful to your subordinates!"
Yuan Qing howled and begged for mercy, let Meng Shan listen, his face was a little unbearable, and he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "This matter is all Zixian's fault, or Yuan Feng is clever, otherwise you and I still don't know what happened." The Taoist chief also asked to calm his anger, and when the son comes back first, I will ...... I'm going to...... Alas!"
When Meng Shan persuaded him, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought that his apprentice still didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Yuan Feng saw that the master's hand was loose, and hurriedly jumped to the side, covering his ears and said aggrievedly: "That small boat can be safe and sound, maybe the senior brother will be fine! It's a pity that the little uncle didn't follow at that time, otherwise ......" Before his words fell, the eyes of everyone in the grass hut lit up. Zhen Yuanzi had already increased his forehead with his hand, and said continuously: "How can I forget your little uncle, he may have a way to ......"
Yuan Feng couldn't help complaining: "Master, you forgot that Uncle Xiao hasn't been out yet!"
Looking at the conversation between the master and apprentice, Elder Jiang also nodded secretly, along the way, everyone naturally knew who the little uncle in Yuanfengkou was. It's just that he was worried for a while, and he actually forgot about Lin Yi.
Elder Jiang originally wanted to go to the sea area of Pojun Island tonight to investigate, but he was in a foreign land, after all, he had no bottom in his heart, and he didn't dare to act rashly. If it was really impossible to do anything, he had decided to give up these disciples. It must be entrusted by the sect, and it cannot be lost because of the small. But if Lin Yi was here, maybe things would be much easier.
"Zhen Yuanzi, Lin Daoyou hasn't left the customs yet, you see ......" Elder Jiang's voice sounded, and everyone in the grass house looked at Zhen Yuanzi.
Who doesn't know that Zhen Yuanzi and Lin Yi are good friends! Since they left Jiulong Mountain, these two have been tired of being together, and in the end, what makes people's jaws drop is that this old man and young man have become a pair of senior brothers.
Now, Lin Yi is in retreat due to injury, and no one is embarrassed to force him out. But Yuanfeng's words still made everyone who was at a loss think of it together.
"This kid has been in retreat for three months, and if he doesn't come out, he can't do it, I'll pull him out!" No one cared about the arrogance of the old man, even Elder Jiang was holding the silver beard in his hand, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
A gust of wind ran to the sea boat, Zhen Yuanzi came to Lin Yi's door, still hesitated, rolled up his sleeves and was about to knock on the door, 'squeak', the door opened by itself.
Zhen Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a step back.
Lin Yi greeted him with a faint smile on his face.
After three months of retreat, Lin Yi's injuries had healed early, but he was not in a hurry to get out. It's rare to have such a good excuse to cultivate alone, how could he let it go.
The last time he met the enemy, Lin Yi was not lightly injured, and it took him a month of work to almost recuperate the injury, and then slowly recuperated his body, and it took two months before he could make up for the lost spiritual power and the lost divine sense.
For the rest of the month, Lin Yi meditated daily pranayama to experience the gains and losses in that big battle, and slowly stabilized his cultivation.
When the ship docked, Lin Yiyi wanted to go down to have a look, but it was delayed for two or three days. Besides, the divine sense had inspected the island and there was nothing wrong with it, so he continued his meditation.
During the three-month retreat, not only did his injuries heal, but his cultivation recovered, and his consciousness also improved slightly. Now that he has embarked on this path, what is more important than cultivation! It's just that Zhen Yuanzi's hurried appearance went straight to the front of the room, which still alerted Lin Yi, who was immersed in the solitary world.
Otherwise, this elder and calm Dao elder brother would not have lost his temper like this.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Yi let Zhen Yuanzi sit down in the room, and then looked at Zhen Yuanzi who looked anxious and asked.
Seeing Lin Yi, Zhen Yuanzi's impatient mood was much better, so he recounted the events of last night.
"You're going to save your nephew!" said Mamotoko expectantly.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was silently reciting those few words, and after hearing the words, he nodded and asked, "What did Elder Jiang say?"
Zhen Yuanzi sighed and said: "He can't do anything, he can only go to that sea area at night to have a look! Senior brother, you can think of a way, Yuanqing's stinky boy is not worried at all, I'm afraid that he is already more than lucky!"
How could such a strange thing happen on such a peaceful fishing village island? Lin Yi also frowned, he looked up and saw that Zhen Yuanzi was staring at him, and couldn't help but say: "Things may not be as senior brother thinks, perhaps, Yuan Qing is fine!"
"You kid hasn't been seen in March, I just want to see what changes you have. Seeing you, I'm a little more steady!" Zhen Yuanzi knew that Lin Yi was trying to comfort, and he waved his hand to show that he was okay.
Lin Yi thought for a while, got up and said, "It's just March, and everything is still the same! Senior brother, you can rest assured, you don't have to wait for the night to fall, you and I will go to that sea area to have a look." ”
"Yes, it's only March! In the eyes of you and other monks, the time of decades of red dust rolling like a white horse passing through a gap is just a flick of a finger......" Zhen Yuanzi sighed and walked out of the room with Lin Yi.
Unintentionally, he touched Zhen Yuanzi's heart again, Lin Yi was a little annoyed that he had said too much, he hurriedly diverted the topic, and asked about some folk customs on the island.
The two of them walked and walked down the boat, and gathered together with everyone, and after a few words of greeting, they asked Yuan Feng to tell the events of last night again, and then at Lin Yi's suggestion, they found two small boats and sailed towards the sea area of Pojun Island.
Only Elder Jiang and Zhen Yuanzi were entourage, as well as Ji Tang, Yuan Feng and others. It was useless to go there with more people, and the rest were waiting on Wolf Island, where the sea ship was located.
The weather is still clear, the sky is like a wash, and the sea breeze is blowing. The blue waves ripple on the sea, and the green shadows of the island are surrounded by white sand, and the scenery is pleasant. Lin Yi, who had been stuffy in the cabin for three months, was also refreshed.
Half an hour later, the two boats arrived at the area where the accident had occurred.
Under the guidance of Yuan Feng, Lin Yi, Elder Jiang and others abandoned the ship and landed on a small island. It is said to be a small island, but it is just a larger reef, but it is the closest place to that sea area on the way through Pojun Island.
Yuan Feng and the fisherman's eldest brother had been here for a night, and he still remembered the horror of last night, he pointed to the sea not far away, and talked about what happened last night.
Lin Yi stood on a large rock and followed Yuan Feng's fingers and looked forward. The water in the near distance is crystal clear, and the deep reaches are becoming more and more turquoise. Dozens of large and small islands are like a big spoon, scattered on the sea surface of dozens of miles of radius, the sound of the waves is faint, and the scenery is beautiful.
In such a beautiful and peaceful place, how could there be any whirlpools that devoured people? If it weren't for Yuan Feng seeing it with his own eyes, Yuan Qing and the others would indeed have disappeared, and Lin Yi couldn't believe that there was a murderous motive hidden under this sea area. He couldn't help but secretly think, 'The seven stars see the moon and the light rises, and the sea waves are uncertain underwater city.' The fairy will Beidou rush into the sky, and there will be no fireflies on Jinjie. What exactly do these words mean, and what does it have to do with the disappearance of Yuan Qing and others?
