July 15, Halloween. There was a stack of white paper pressed with clods of earth on the graves all over the place, but I don't know what it symbolized.

The weather in early autumn is still hot and dry.

Phantom Xisha stood on the edge of the cliff of the mouth of the three mountains and seas, a gust of sea breeze blew, and the slightest coolness penetrated the whole body, which was the coolness from the bottom of the heart. The loneliness that Phantom Sunset actually felt, is this what autumn feels like!

Illusory Sunset suddenly remembered his master, who he hadn't remembered in a long time. At this time, I don't know where the old man has traveled again.

Another gust of sea breeze blew. Phantom Xisha couldn't help but shudder. Then he saw a small boat approaching him in the distance.

The boat was moving so fast that in the blink of an eye she saw a person in the boat, and in the blink of an eye she saw that it was an old man. He had a big hat on his back, a gray beard, gray hair, wrinkled and rough skin on his face, and a canvas dress that seemed to never wear out. In the blink of an eye, the boat was at his feet. It's just that you can fall into a boat if you take a step forward. It's just falling, falling from the top down.

The feet of the illusory sunset were more than two feet high from the top of the boat.

Phantom Sunset didn't blink again. He was staring at the old man. There was a look of respect in his eyes. No matter how dashing you are, show respect when you look at someone who is much older than you. Otherwise he's a ruffian.

Phantom Sunset is not a ruffian!

The old man was pleased with the look in his eyes, and began to speak.

When you listen to the person opposite you, you have to look them in the eye. At this time, Phantom Sunset was looking into the old man's eyes, still full of respect. The old man's eyes were shining.

"Your Excellency is the prodigal son. ”

Illusory Sunset was a little embarrassed, and it seemed very rude to talk to an old man condescendingly. Illusory thought for two blinks. I still think that it seems more rude not to reply to the old man. So Phantom Xisha hugged his fist at the old man very respectfully, "It's Phantom." It's just that now the younger generation is no longer a love saint, just a prodigal son who wanders the world. ”

The old man said: "Whether it is a saint or a prodigal son, they are all distinguished guests of Hades Island. The little old man is just an old man who cares for the door. On the orders of the owner of my family, I came to meet the owner of the Phantom Village. The owner of the phantom village calls himself a junior, but the old man can't afford it - please ask the owner of the phantom village to get on the boat. ”

"Thank you!"

As soon as the words fell, the phantom sunset was already on the boat, and there was no sound or movement. It was as if a large, invisible hand had gently carried the sunset to the boat. The old man didn't seem surprised.

"The owner of the Fantasy Village is extremely featherful, and he really deserves his reputation when I see it today. The owner of the phantom village is sitting firmly, and the old man is about to sail.

That's kind words, of course.

Of course, Sunset wouldn't sit down.

But the boat was already speeding back in the direction it had come, with the stern of the boat as the bow. The old man stood at the stern of the boat, which had no sails and no pulp. Of course, this is the hand of the old man!

"My husband has such a profound internal force. Phantom is ashamed of himself. ”

"Hehe, the owner of the phantom village is polite. If the owner of the phantom village does not have profound internal strength, how can he do that supreme light work. The old man was delighted. Even the old man who guards the gate of Hades Island knows that Phantom Sunset rarely praises others.

The wind blew on the face of the phantom sunset, like a bamboo broom slapped on the face.

Phantom Sunset really felt cold. He took out a white jade flask from his bosom. Pull out the oak stopper and take a sip from his neck. Then there was a cough that wasn't too violent.

The white jade-like face of the phantom sunset was a little red. Phantom shook her head with a wry smile and closed the cork.

"Uncle, do you want to have a drink!"

The old man who was standing on the stern of the boat, who was still as steady as Mount Tai despite the wind blowing, suddenly made a 180-degree turn. It's not a "backward turn" like a turn, but a bouncing up and idling violently.

The boat was two feet long, and there was a canopy covered by a mat in the middle.

This is a typical fish boat. The old man jumped from the stern of the boat, which was already the bow, to the stern of the boat.

Phantom Sunset felt the boat sink down from his direction, and Phantom Sunset's white leather satin shoes embroidered with plum blossoms almost touched the sea, and then the boat jerked upwards again. I shuddered like this several times, but my feet were like they were on a boat, and I didn't move, not even my body.

"Good kung fu!" the old man shouted hello, and took the flask from Phantom Sunset's hand as if grabbing it. Then he tilted his neck, coo.

"Whew—good wine! just a little less. But this flask is quite pretty. ”

The old man drank the wine of the sunset and made a lot of affection. It seems that the two have been friends for decades.

"If you like this flask, I'll give it to you. ”

"Huh. That's a good feeling. But if this flask is just a good-looking old man, I don't want it. ”

"Hehe, even if this white jade heavenly brewing pot is filled with a pot of water, it will become a pot of wine after three days and three nights. ”

What Phantom Sunset said was not very clear, but the old man understood. So the old man didn't speak. Immediately leaned over and scooped a pot of seawater. Half an hour later, the old man took a sip, which was a little salty, but this saltiness really couldn't hide the faint aroma of wine. It's not the aftertaste, the aftertaste can't be drunk.

"Haha, that's a great baby. But if you can't ask for it, the old man is not welcome. ”

The old man poured the rest of the water and carefully carried the vase into his bosom. He was going to go home and pour the daughter red that he had treasured for thirty years, as long as he left it in this jug for three days and three nights, it would be a hundred years of daughter red. When the old man's hand came out of his arms, the white jade bottle turned into a white porcelain bottle.

"Come and don't be rude. This is the sacred water of our Hades. Please take it from Brother Phantom, it can have three life-saving effects. ”

Of course, he never refuses, he never refuses something from his friends, as if he can give his friends what he has at any time.

"Does this divine water really have the effect of bringing the dead back to life?"

"Huh. How can there be such a thing in the human world - there is a crypt under the ground of our Hades Village, and there is a pool of water in the cave, surrounded by poisonous insects and poisonous weeds. The pool had absorbed a lot of poisonous juice and had been brewing for countless years. Naturally, it has become a kind of medicinal soup, which is the divine water of the king of Hades, which can cure all kinds of poisons and internal injuries. ”

"I see. I don't know how to get out of this divine water. ”

"Hehe, that's not hard, it's going to spray itself. The fountain pool is in the most central hall of our Yama Village. Our Yama Village was built because of it. It's a pity that our old island master is not blessed, although this divine water is wonderful, it can't cure the old island owner's illness. ”

"Life is a very mysterious thing, he came in a hurry, but he walked very firmly. When he is gone, nothing can keep him, not even the Yama Divine Water, who has brought him back to life. So we should enjoy this beautiful world more when our lives are still bright!"

Looking at the distant sky, Phantom Sunset fell into deep contemplation.

The sky is connected to the sea, and the sea is connected to the sky. Neither the sea nor the sky can see the end with our eyes.

But Phantom Sunset saw a small green dot in the place where the sea and the sky met.

The boat sped on, and the dot grew bigger and bigger.

When the boat docked at this small spot, the sky seemed to get smaller, and the sea seemed to get smaller.

As far as the eye can see, there is the island in front of you, which used to be a small dot.

From a distance, this small island is not too big. But when you stand on the island, you think it's a bit exaggerated, but it's still not big!

The island is full of shrubs, and even the shore is surrounded by water and grass vines. You will never feel like you are on an island in the middle of the ocean, you may think that this island is surrounded by a lake.

As soon as Phantom Sunset landed on the island, he became obsessed with it.

"I didn't expect this to be the famous and timid Hades Island on the rivers and lakes. If you can rest in peace, it will be a blessing in your life. ”

"Heh – danger is often hidden beneath a beautiful façade, and this island is full of spiders, scorpions, insects, and snakes. The least venomous bee can sting you in a matter of moments. If an unknown outsider strays into this island, I guarantee that he will not be able to walk ten steps. ”

"Oh, I see. I don't know how you came to live on this island. ”

The old man had already bolted the boat and walked up a path paved with wooden planks, and Phantom Sunset followed closely behind the old man, not daring to leave half a step. Phantom Sunset was a little nervous. If there's anything else that can make Illusory Evening scared in this matter, it's that long worm called the snake!

The old man had already begun to tell some of the things that he had missed. Phantom Xisha couldn't see the old man's eyes, but from the tone of the old man's voice, he could hear that these things made the old man very proud.

"Have you ever heard of a man named Situ Invincible among the influential figures twenty years ago?"

"The one who is known to the people as the Living Hades. ”

"Exactly. When the old master had a scythe of Hades in his hand, he killed evil thieves, beheaded prostitute thieves, chivalrous and brave, and had a good reputation in the rivers and lakes. Twenty years ago. The Living Hades suddenly disappeared into the martial arts, and there was no more news. ”

"It turned out that Situ's predecessors were living in seclusion on Hades Island. ”

Back then, the old man accompanied the old master to travel here, and the old master was very happy, so he simply decided to live in seclusion here, and never asked about the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, he knows a little about the method of preventing insects, otherwise it would not be easy for this Hades Island to live in peace."

"The old lady is not the mother-in-law Meng who was popular in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, and is known as the 'Hundred Poison Cup Woman'?—— the old lady must be the predecessor of Zhuge Yuanfeng Zhuge who is 'helping the boat in the waves'!"

"Haha. When I lived in seclusion with the old master, I was afraid that the phantom little brother had not yet been born, but I also knew the name of the old man, which really made the old man so glorious!

"The senior was polite. Who in the rivers and lakes does not know the prestige of the left and right envoys of the living Hades. It's just that Phantom is still in his infancy, and he knows that he has only seen the heroic appearance of his predecessors now!"
