Chapter 257: Set sail
Han Er Gongzi said to He Zhi while still shaking his head. It can be seen that Han Ergongzi has always been worried about the fact that he failed to find the boat family to find the fairy fate.
"Where is the junction of the sky and the sea in the direction of the rising sun......" When He Zhi heard these words, he felt that it seemed to be a bit right.
The place name that Huangfu Tianchi said to He Zhi is called "Wangtian Island". The name seems to be quite consistent with the island at the junction of the sea and the sky.
Of course, for the sake of insurance, He Zhi still didn't make a decision immediately, but asked Han Xueyu again: "Second Master Han, do you know what the name of the place where you can ask for immortal fate is you?"
"I don't know. Han Xueyu replied very cheerfully this time.
"I don't know, since you don't even know the name, how do you know where you can ask for immortal fate?"
"I only found out about it by accident. Han Xueyu said with some embarrassment, "I have a habit of collecting some antiques, small objects and the like. Once, when I was wandering around the market, I happened to take a fancy to a gadget at a small stall on the side of the road. Later, I don't know why, but I had a dream when I went back at night. In my dream, an immortal touched my head and told me to go to that island in the East China Sea to seek immortal fortune. Then as soon as the immortal disappeared, I woke up at once. At this time, I saw that the gadget I had been putting on the table suddenly turned into a streamer and flew away. To be honest, I didn't believe in any kind of immortals, monsters, and the like. But this fact is in front of me, and if I still say that I don't believe it, won't I deceive myself?"
"So I told my family that I met an immortal, and the immortal instructed me to go to the East China Sea to seek immortal fate. But the people in my family are all brainless, and they won't believe me. Later, I was so angry that I simply found an opportunity to sneak out by myself. ”
"I see. After He Zhi listened to Han Ergongzi's narration, he was also speechless for a while. The luck of this second son of Han is really different. He Zhi is really a little skeptical now, whether this second son of Han is really born lucky.
I don't know how many people in this world sincerely want to seek immortals, and even how many people spend their lives just trying to find an opportunity to step into the immortal gate. But among these people, how many can really get in?
Just like the people He Zhi had seen in the valley outside Weigu City before. Among those people, although some people only rushed to the valley for the legendary "elixir of immortality", there are also many people who are dedicated to seeking immortals and visiting the Tao, and in order to seek immortal fortune, they don't know how many mountains and rivers they have traveled.
However, these people have exhausted their mental strength and paid an unknown price, but they have never met the fairy fate. And this second son of Han can buy the things of the immortal family just by casually strolling outside. There is really no one with such luck!
However, no matter how Han Ergongzi found the immortal fate, anyway, judging from his description, he should not be in the wrong place. Moreover, He Zhi is now eighty percent sure that the thing that Han Ergongzi got at the beginning is probably the "Immortal Yuan Order" that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect deliberately released.
This "Immortal Order" He Zhi also heard Huangfu Tianchi mention it. It is said to be the work of a certain Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect when he was playing the human world. There are more than a dozen in total. As long as you meet a "destined person", this immortal fate order will be triggered, pointing out to the destined person the location of Wangtian Island in the East China Sea and the time when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect opened the mountain gate.
However, don't think that this thing is worthless just because there are more than a dozen pieces of the "Immortal Yuan Order".
You know, the world is much bigger than Earth, and it's a lot more populous.
In the Great Zhou alone, there were more than 120 counties, and each county had almost seven or eight large cities with millions of people. In other words, in just one Great Zhou, the total population is almost equivalent to the sum of the earth in He Zhi's previous life!
And around the Great Zhou, there are several empires that are about the same size as the Great Zhou. Moreover, this is just the neighboring countries of the Great Zhou and the Great Zhou, far from the whole of this world!
And the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect likes to play the world, and it is said that his footprints are all over the world. There are no countries in this world that he has not passed! The travelogues he wrote down alone were piled up in most of the rooms in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
In such a huge world, this Supreme Elder left a total of more than a dozen "Immortal Tokens", how much can this be? Moreover, these Immortal Tokens have been circulated for thousands of years, and many of them have been buried or lost, and it is almost impossible to see the light of day again.
He Zhi estimated a little in his heart, and found that the probability of getting the Immortal Yuan Token in this world is about the same as winning three or five consecutive Mark Six lotteries on the earth.
Even if you know the existence of these tokens in advance, and deliberately collect and look for them, you can find a side from the vast sea of people, which is enough to be called the lucky one among the lucky ones.
And what about Han Ergongzi? He just went shopping casually, and then went home with such a token......
After coming up with such a result, He Zhi's gaze at Han Ergongzi became a little different. To be honest, in this world, there is nothing strange about fairies and monsters. But Han Ergongzi, such a character, He Zhi is really the first time to meet it!
"Brother Tai, could it be that you also got the guidance of an immortal to let you go to that island to seek immortal fate?"
"Hehe, it can be counted. He Zhi smiled and nodded.
"Oh, that's right, we can go together!" Han Ergongzi became excited. In the heart of Han Ergongzi, the current He Zhi is a great master close to the immortals. Even if he couldn't find the real immortal fate and was able to get acquainted with He Zhi, Han Ergongzi felt that it was worth the trip.
"That's what I mean. He Zhi smiled and nodded. Isn't the purpose of his coming to Han Ergongzi this time to partner with Han Ergongzi and go to Wangtian Island in the East China Sea together?
Han Ergongzi took the initiative to go with He Zhi, but He Zhi couldn't ask for it!
"Okay, then we'll ...... tomorrow" Han Ergongzi was still waving his arms excitedly, but when he said this, his voice suddenly stopped like a jam.
"This ...... Alas, even if Brother Tai wants to go with me, we can't find a boat owner who is willing to take us to sea!" Han Ergongzi put down his arm and said dejectedly.
"Hehe, as long as you know where the island where you can find the fairy fate is, things will be easy. You don't have to worry about finding the ship's house, just leave it to me. He Zhi said in his mouth, but what he thought of was the old boatman he had found earlier.
The old boatman seemed to have been alone all along, with neither a wife nor any other family. When Ho Chi found him, he was sleeping on the side of a small sea boat, looking like a beggar.
If it weren't for He Zhi's observation that the calluses on the old boatman's body and hands were obviously the appearance of sailors who often go to sea, I am afraid He Zhi would not have thought that this sloppy old man who was like a beggar would still be a boatman.
The reason why the boatmen and sailors in Qiyang City refused to go to sea and went to the island mentioned by Han Ergongzi was because they were afraid of being cursed, not only would they die themselves, but they would also harm their families.
And if the old boatman had really been alone, he would not have the latter kind of worry. Perhaps, under the offensive of the silver ticket, the old boatman was willing to agree to send He Zhi and them to the island that Han Er Gongzi said.
"What, Childe, are you going to that island too?" The next day, when the old boatman heard from He Zhi that he was going to go to that island with Han Ergongzi, he couldn't help but look at He Zhi, and then at Han Ergongzi on the side, looking like He Zhi was being fooled and lame by Han Ergongzi.
"Not bad. He Zhi smiled and nodded, as if he hadn't seen the old boatman's gaze.
"Childe, didn't I tell you before, that place is impossible to go!" the old boatman also shook his head again and again, and said to He Zhi with a wry smile.
"It's my natural way. It's a dangerous place, not only for the unknown dangers of its own, but also for the family. I've heard all these rumors. He Zhi continued, "However, I have to go to that place now. That's why I wanted to ask my husband to help me with this. ”
"I said Childe, even if you say so......" The old boatman smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, "This Childe should know, right? No one has dared to go to that place for a long time." The most recent time, a few decades ago, there was a young man who didn't believe in evil and had to break in to see what was going on. As a result, he hit a reef and died with no place to be buried. And in the end, the family was also affected. Several died in a row. In the end, the whole family had to move out of Qiyang City. In this way, I don't know if they can escape this catastrophe. Childe, what kind of evil did you fall into? Why do you want to go to that kind of place? Or do you really believe that it is the abode of the gods, and you can find the immortals? Childe, you listen to my advice. It's not a good place to go. Go back early. Don't give your life in vain. ”
"My husband's kindness, I understand it. However, I do have a reason to go. He Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I went this time, not to find immortals, but to visit my family." ”
"Huh?" the old boatman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly, "What an idiot. ”
"Old man, you can help. Besides, this brother himself is not an ordinary person. He said that he was going to that place, and he was definitely a little sure. I don't dare to say more, as long as we follow this brother, our net worth and life should be no problem. Han Ergongzi was also beating a side drum for He Zhi on the side, "As for other aspects, you can rest assured, uncle." I Han Er doesn't have anything else, it's just a lot of money. As long as you are willing to help us, you will be my Han Er's benefactor. In the future, no matter what happens to you, uncle, I, Han Er, will definitely stick a knife in both ribs, come and go in the wind, and there is no second word. ”
"This ......" the old boatman's expression kept changing, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Han Xueyu stared at the old boatman nervously, and after a long time, he saw that the old boatman's expression slowly relaxed, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and he even held his breath.
"My old man has been alone since his wife left more than ten years ago. What kind of money, what kind of scenery, my old man doesn't care. I won't hide it from you both. Twenty years ago, it was my son who refused to listen to my old man's advice and insisted on going to the fairy road. When he was gone, he never returned. In the next two years, my wife and two brothers left me. ”
The old boatman couldn't help choking up when he said this.
"Sometimes my old man wonders why they cursed them, not me. After that, my wife and I moved out of Qiyang City, but I refused to leave. I feel that only if I stay here will they truly be freed from the curse. ”
"Old man......" Han Ergongzi couldn't help but show sympathy when he listened to the old boatman reveal his heart.
"It's nothing! I'm not talking to my two sons today about it because of anything else. Just because of the old man, I also made up my mind. Accompany the two sons on this trip. ”
"Ah?!That's great!" Han Ergongzi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Husband, if your son did go to the place we spoke of...... Maybe he's still alive. He Zhi also said to the old boatman.
"Hehe, if it's really as Childe said, then the old man, I will come down this trip, even if I die, I will be relieved. The old boatman smiled and stood up.
Originally, two days ago, when He Zhi came into contact with this old boatman, he only felt that he was an honest and honest man. Unexpectedly, after being stimulated to fight, he suddenly became vigorous.
After agreeing to He Zhi and Han Xueyu's request, the old boatman began to prepare that morning. He carefully maintained his small sea boat, and then made a list, and asked Han Ergongzi and He Zhi to prepare food and drinking water for three people for a week.
In the afternoon of the same day, the old boatman had already set sail with He Zhi and Han Ergongzi and went to Wangtian Island in the East China Sea.
In Qiyang City, it was not that no one noticed that Han Xueyu, the rich boy who had been clamoring to go to the "forbidden land", was gone. Especially among the boatmen that Han Xueyu had looked for before, some people quickly noticed that Han Xueyu did not appear on the dock again.
Moreover, after the description of the shopkeeper of the Penglai Inn, everyone knows that Han Xueyu seems to have found a way and has gone to sea with others!
Moreover, everyone soon found out that the person who took Han Xueyu to the sea was the father of the last fool who went to the "forbidden land" twenty years ago!
For a while, this matter spread in Qiyang City, and everyone laughed about it. felt that the old boatman and Han Ergongzi were really hanged by the old birthday star, and they thought that their lives were too long. And He Zhi is also a fool when he participates in it.
