Chapter 114: Lost Island
The Imperial Palace Dandao Temple is located on a small island in the middle of an artificial lake, with three steps and one post and four steps and one sentry on the lake, which is heavily guarded.
Sima Yicheng sent someone to send Qiu Wushuang to the small wharf by the lake, and after handing over the paperwork with a eunuch on duty, he left him alone on the small wharf.
The middle-aged eunuch on duty looked at his waist card repeatedly, rolled his eyes, and said in a weird manner: "A good first-class imperial guard is not appropriate, but he wants to go to the Dandao Academy to refine the Dan, I am really not afraid of being embarrassed." β
Qiu Wushuang smiled and said: "Father-in-law, doing things for the emperor, where is there any shame." The next time I meet Mr. Yan, I will ask him for advice, I am not ashamed to be ashamed. β
The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly stuffed the waist card into his hand as if his hands were hot, and said, "This adult can pass." β
Qiu Wushuang looked at him for a long time and said, "I remember you, this black mole on the corner of your mouth is really unique. It may always remind you that the misfortune that comes from the mouth. You should also remember me, my surname is Qiu, and sometimes your manager also calls me Qiuye. β
"Yes, yes, Qiu Ye has taught him a lesson. The small one is that he has a foul mouth and is easy to offend people. The middle-aged eunuch raised his hand and lightly scraped his mouth twice, bowed down and said, "Lord Wanwang Qiu doesn't remember the villain, and let the villain go like a fart." β
Qiu Wushuang didn't bother to be familiar with this kind of little minion, so he jumped on a small boat leaning on the small pier, and said to a big man in black standing at the bow of the boat: "Excuse me, send me to the island." β
The black-clothed man was six feet tall, with a thick beard and leopard-eyed eyes. He lifted the oar and touched it lightly at the water, and the boat rushed towards the island like an arrow from a string.
The middle-aged eunuch looked at Qiu Wushuang's back with a gloomy face, and spat unwillingly, but the paperwork in his hand was ripped away.
He turned around with a grim face, but saw Princess An Le holding the paperwork and looking at it, a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
He smiled flatteringly, knelt down and said, "Wang Shouning, the eunuch on duty in the Servant Dan Dao Academy, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." Her Royal Highness the Princess, Chitose Chitoseβ"
"Alright, alright. Princess An Le said impatiently, "I heard that the Lingdan Island, where the Imperial Palace Dan Dao Academy is located, is in crisis, you can tell me about it." β
"The slave obeys the princess's will. β
Wang Shouning got up from the ground, hunched his waist and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this Lingdan Island is a natural ecstasy island, if you walk on the island without permission, it will be difficult for the gods and ghosts to get out." However, there is a place full of spiritual energy on the island, which is most suitable for alchemy. Therefore, to enter and exit Lingdan Island, you must be led by people and take a special path. β
Princess An Le's eyes lit up and she asked, "What will happen if you get lost on the island?"
"A few years ago, there were two alchemists who did not believe in evil and wanted to take a straight shortcut to enter the Dan Dao Academy, but they never came out again. β
"Can't you find the bones?"
"Who would dare to go in and look for it. β
"Sure enough, it's a veritable Lost Soul Island. Princess An Le said excitedly.
She paced a few steps in front of Wang Shouning, her face becoming more and more gloomy, and her body was full of evil energy. She looked at Wang Shouning, who was trembling, and asked, "Who is the eunuch in charge of the Dan Dao Academy of the Lingdan Island Imperial Palace?"
"Princess Qiyu, Sun Yuncheng and Sun Gonggong are the head envoys of the Imperial Palace Dan Dao Academy. If the princess wants to do anything on Lingdan Island, the slave can serve the princess. The slave can speak in front of Grandpa Sun. β
Princess An Le gritted her jade teeth and said, "You find an opportunity to inform Father-in-law Sun and ask him to host one thing for Father-in-law." If things are done well, this princess will not treat you badly. β
She whispered to Wang Shouning, only to hear Wang Shouning laughing.
Qiu Wushuang stood on the boat, glanced at the sturdy black-clothed man, and sighed: "It's a pity that this eldest brother is a cultivator, although he has not yet attained the Yuan Infant, he is at least at the middle level of the Divine Movement Period, but he is on an errand with a boatman. The Internal Oversight Division can really spoil talent. β
The black-clothed man said indifferently: "Qiu Ye's name moved to the capital, isn't he succumbing to being a royal guard?"
"Hehe, I'm a gangster, and being able to become a royal guard is already very high. β
Qiu Wushuang took a deep breath of cool water vapor and watched the island in the middle of the lake get closer and closer. Under the blazing sun, the island is full of greenery, lush greenery, and looming in the midst of the pavilions and corridors, which looks like a good place to escape the heat.
He said suspiciously: "On the surface of the lake a few hundred meters wide, the big brothers of the palace guards can fly over from the water. Why do you have to ferry in a small boat?"
The man in black looked up at the direction of the sun, the boat was gently on the water, and the boat deviated from its position, circled around the island in the middle of the lake, and docked at a small pier.
"Qiu Ye, this elixir island is secretly called 'Ecstasy Island' by us, if anyone trespasses on this island, it will be like falling into a maze array, and it will be difficult to get out. Therefore, we ferryed by small boats, and there are two small docks on the island, which are led by special people. This is the best time to enter the island from here. β
Qiu Wushuang hugged his fists and said, "Thank you big brother for your advice." Haven't asked your eldest brother for his name?"
"In the next Zhongli Han. Take care of Qiu Ye and remember not to move around on the island. β
Zhong Lihan had an upright temperament and was ostracized in the Internal Supervision Department, and eventually became a boatman in the palace.
Fang Cai Qiu Wushuang's exclamation hit his heart and made him feel like a confidant. is also famous, but there is no shelf, which makes people naturally close.
He disembarked with a swift flak and flicked his fingers towards a large tree on the edge of the docks. A fist-sized copper bell hung between the branches of the big tree made a crisp sound of "ding". Immediately after that, a series of "ding" sounds sounded, reaching the quiet and deep depths of the island.
Qiu Wushuang stared at the copper bells that were connected from near and far, one every 100 meters, hanging from the tenacious Teng Tiao. If you use true qi to vibrate Tengtiao, it can indeed transmit sound for thousands of kilometers.
"Brother Zhongli, can you follow the copper bell on Tengtiao to enter the Dandao Academy?"
Zhong Lihan nodded approvingly and said, "It's better for Qiu Ye to follow others in." The head of the Dandao Academy made it difficult for Gonggong Sun to speak, so as not to make him fall into the impression of being unruly. Although Qiu Ye doesn't have to take him to heart. β
Qiu Wushuang smiled: "I know this best. When I was a thug, I always had to follow other people's rules when I went to other people's land. β
Zhong Lihan said: "Qiu Ye is an understanding person. β
At this moment, a man in black flew from the forest path as if his feet were not touching the ground. Zhong Lihan didn't seem to bother to meet the other party, and said to Qiu Wushuang again, flew back to the boat, and waved away in a dashing manner.
The visitor glanced at Qiu Wushuang expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Follow me, don't go around." β
Qiu Wushuang felt the qi that was flowing between the other party's turns, and he only felt that he was more than a step lower than Zhong Lihan.
He easily followed behind the other party, keeping a foot away from them, looking around from time to time, feeling the extraordinaryness of Ecstasy Island.
"Uncle Huang, how did you get a Lost Soul Island in the palace? He transmitted his voice to the Yellow Emperor Yuan Shen in ventriloquism.
"When I was in power, there was no such thing as an island of ecstasy. "The Yellow Emperor Yuan Shendao, "When I was around the spiritual veins of the palace, I once set up the 'Nine Palaces Maze Array' to protect the spiritual veins. Could it be that this Ecstasy Island is the 'Nine Palaces Maze Array'?"
"It must be that the emperor of some generation is unhappy to see the 'Nine Palace Ecstasy Array' in the palace, and dug a lake around it to isolate it. After more than 3,600 years, I don't know if Uncle Huang has the intention to take me to break through the 'Nine Palace Ecstasy Array' that you laid yourself?"
Qiu Wushuang looked around at the deep forest around him, and he was eager to try.
