289. Dilemma

When going to Wanlian Island, a total of ten crew members died in a disaster, and when they came back this time, Lao Li, the captain of the ship, found an acquaintance on the dock to lead the way, and Ling Shan personally sent two thousand taels of silver tickets to each family to compensate. Compared with the water families who generally earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver in a year, two thousand taels is undoubtedly a great fortune, enough to buy the lives of the dead family members, and it is more than enough.

During the period, it is rare to see a crying and grabbing the ground, or the lard is greedy and insufficient, and wants to pay more than two thousand taels, if the former is sincere or fake, she is deeply sorry, if it is the latter, she will never mind taking force as a warning, the more tricky, the more fierce she is.

Although it is easy for the poor to make a windfall of money, it is much safer to unify the caliber of two hundred taels for a family to the outside world, and even the rhetoric for each family is that whoever in your family performs the best on the boat has helped me a lot, so your family compensation is actually the most, and the others only have two hundred taels, you also say this number to the outside world, don't say that there are many tricks in the mouth, and this is also the limit of what Ling Shan can do, it is impossible for her to stay and guard these families until they spend all their money.

In this way, in just two days, 22,000 taels of silver tickets were sent out one after another, and Ling Shan, who has always spent money lavishly, finally encountered the situation of being shy in the pocket, fortunately, Qingni has a rudder in Hangzhou, and it will be handed over to the Baihua Valley in the general gate every year in the spring, and now in November, there is naturally a surplus, so he went to get tens of thousands of taels for backup.

After three days of recuperation in Hangzhou, Ling Shan hired a new group of people and planned to go to sea again.

Before leaving, when he learned that the destination was Sword Casting City, Old Ancestor asked Ling Shan, "Why do you want to go to Sword Casting City, don't you go to Longmu Island?"

Ling Shan said, "Who said we won't go to Longmu Island? Then he complained: "If it weren't for the fact that the crew of Wanlian Island had been killed by the Qinglongmen gang and needed to be rehired this time, when I came out of Wanlian Island, I would have gone directly to Sword Casting City, so why would I have come back here first? I still want to go there as soon as possible and let them help me forge a good sword." ”

Old Ancestor said: "If you go to Sword Casting City now, then before Laba, it will definitely be too late to go to Longmu Island." ”

Ling Shan didn't care and said, "Then I won't go!"

Old Ancestor sighed and said, "It seems that you don't know the difference between arriving at Longmu Island before Laba and arriving after Laba. The ancestor still regrets that he didn't catch up to drink a bowl of laba porridge. ”

She had found Longmu Island by herself instead of being invited, and by that time it had already passed Laba Day, but there was no Laba porridge left for her.

Ling Shan's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "What's so important here?"

Old Ancestor said: "Longmu Island has an elixir that takes ten years to get a ripe one, called the Phantom Heart Grass, which can be combined with other medicines to be refined into porridge and then consumed, which can make people under the innate temporarily reach the ethereal realm of contemplation and god. ”

Ling Shan frowned and said, "Ethereal Dao Realm...... Was it an epiphany?"

Old Ancestor shook his head: "It's not ......"

The real epiphany can make people stand on the ground and attain the Tao, but the ethereal Dao realm is a kind of mental transformation that can temporarily condense people's thoughts, converge into one, and turn the virtual into reality, so it is called the ethereal Dao realm, and what should be done afterwards, and there is no epiphany that wakes up and makes great progress.

However, the contemplation of the Ethereal Dao Realm is somewhat similar to the innate human martial arts primordial gods, as long as they have experienced it once, it seems to have a contemplation experience, which will also be somewhat helpful for the future Void Seeing Divine Evidence Martial Dao Innate Nature.

Of course, more importantly, the spirit of the Ethereal Dao Realm can form an induction with the Divine Martial Jade Bi on the island.

Ling Shan was puzzled, "Divine Martial Jade?"

Lao Zu explained: "Yes, Shenwu Yubi! That is a unique jade wall on Longmu Island, I don't know whether it is natural or man-made, every year on the day of Laba, there will be a vision of heaven and man, at this time, as long as the spiritual induction of jade, you can see the vision, although it is not an epiphany, but it is also similar to an epiphany, although it can not directly increase the skill, but it can strengthen the understanding of the martial arts, and it is of great benefit to the personal practice of the martial arts state of mind. I waited on the island for ten years, and I only felt it once twenty years ago, and it was through this that I sublimated the true energy of the sun into the sun in one fell swoop. ”

After hearing this, Ling Shan changed her mind without hesitation: "There are so many benefits, didn't you say it earlier? I said it earlier, I would have gone to Longmu Island a long time ago...... I'll go and tell you later, and I'll go to Longmu Island instead. ”

Old Ancestor smiled, "Why don't you go to Sword Casting City?"

Ling Shan's eyes widened, "What else are you going to Sword Casting City, are you waiting for ten years to get benefits?"

The ancestor stopped: "But I also need to make it clear to you first, there are advantages and disadvantages to going there, he has rules there, you can enter the island at will, but you can't leave the island, you are not yet in the realm of rebirth, but if you go to Longmu Island, you can't leave the island unless you are in the heavy building, and if you are already Zhou Tianquan, you need to open the gate of heaven to leave, if you go in the heavy building, you must be born after the martial arts are completed, you can come and go freely, if you want to break the rules, there are many masters on the island, just come out of two, it is enough for you to drink a pot...... It's impossible to come back if you want to get benefits!"

Ling Shan hesitated for a moment, looked at the ancestor, and said with a smile: "It's okay, isn't there an ancestor?" When I'm tired of staying there, the ancestor, you come to escort us away, and if anyone on their island stops, you will slap him one by one and shoot him into a rotten watermelon!"

Old Ancestor immediately refused: "I won't do this!"

Ling Shan grabbed Old Ancestor's wrist and said pitifully, "Old Ancestor, can you bear to watch me being locked up on an overseas desert island for the rest of my life?"

"Come less!" Old Ancestor shook off her hand, "If you have been spinning below the heavy building for the rest of your life, you deserve to be locked up for the rest of your life!"

"Ancestor—"

Ling Shan was not discouraged and continued to pull, and when she was thrown away, she would pull again, and when she spoke, she also dragged the tail note very long, pretending to be cute and pitiful, and sympathizing.

"Alright, alright!"

After a few moments, the ancestor was annoyed, sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, I promised the two old bulls that I would help them guard the Demon Suppression Cliff behind Longmu Island for thirty years, but it has only been ten years until today, and I finally sneaked out, do you think I will go back by throwing myself into the net? In the past two years, even if I am struck by lightning every month or even every day, as long as I can't kill me, I won't go back to that ghost place." ”

Ling Shan looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is said that the good elders are the safe haven umbrella of the younger generations, why can't I meet a reliable master?

The ancestor was angry and tilted his nose, furious, flashed behind Ling Shan, pinched her ears vigorously, and said viciously: "Bah, you rebel, it is obvious that you just want to be happy, regardless of the freedom of the ancestor, and dare the wicked person sue first?"

Ling Shan hurriedly begged for mercy.

After saying a lot of good things, the ancestor was satisfied and willing to let her go.

Old Ancestor sighed and said, "Actually, if you want to go to Sword Casting City, it's no problem!"

Ling Shan rubbed her ears and asked, "What do you mean?"

Old Ancestor asked rhetorically, "Have you forgotten where the fire marrow is?"

Ling Shan understood at one point, and said, "Ancestor is saying that you can go to Sword Casting City to get a large amount of Fire Yuan Marrow, let me improve my skills first?"

Old Ancestor said: "Yes, Sword Casting City definitely still has stock, if you can find a way to get some, it will be fine for you to go further, and if you go to Sword Casting City, I can also follow...... It's just that if you go to Sword Forge City, you are the only one who can make rapid progress, and it will not be beneficial to Xiao Yueyue. ”

In this comparison, both sides have their own good and bad emphasis, where to go first, Ling Shan couldn't help but be even more difficult, she muttered: "Why don't you act separately, sister will go to Longmu Island, and I will go to Sword Casting City?"

Going to Longmu Island is obviously more beneficial to Ming Yuetian, she is originally a person who likes to be quiet and does not like to move, there is no problem in staying in one place for ten or eight years, and going to Sword Casting City is naturally more beneficial to Ling Shan, even if the Fire Yuan Marrow is extremely precious, there is an innate ancestor, and people who want to come to Sword Casting City will sell some face, and other than that, presumably they will not mind helping to build a good sword again.

If you go to one side, it can be an effective way.

And when she hesitated, someone helped her make a decision.
