At night, the wind and snow were blowing, and in a room in an empty stone hall in Taibai Mountain, Ning Wushu was distressed with his cheeks.

She had stacks of white paper in her hand, and the words on them swayed in the light, making people drowsy. These are all materials about various legendary places obtained from Gao Hua of Tianshu Valley, Ning Wushu took a brief look at it, and it did mention the legend that someone got the sweet tea fruit from Fanghu Immortal Mountain hundreds of years ago, but there was no conclusion about the location of Fanghu Immortal Mountain.

It is commonly said that Fanghu Immortal Mountain is located on the edge of the East China Sea and the Boundless Sea, but it is also said that Fanghu Immortal Mountain is a floating island with an uncertain location. Gao Hua recorded the record of "seeing the fairy mountain" passed down by the folk word of mouth for many years, almost every location is different, and the scenery described is also different, although the same mountains and rivers, but some are green mountains, some are stone mountains, and some are snow-capped mountains. Gao Hua understood this phenomenon as "seeing different immortal mountains," but if the immortal mountains in a radius of thousands of miles drift on the sea, will they collide? Are their directions regular? And how should we look for them? Gao Hua did not come to a conclusion.

"Is it really ...... Mirage? There seems to be only one explanation. But what is the matter with the fruit of sweet tea? If Fanghu Immortal Mountain did not exist, how could someone bring the fruit of sweet tea back to the Central Plains hundreds of years ago?"

Ning Wushu stared at the flickering candle flame, a little irritable in his heart. In order to save her mother, she paid great pain and determination, and finally broke through the realm of the four seas without danger, but when she reached the level of Fanghu Immortal Mountain, it was like she had encountered a dead end, and she could no longer walk. She raised her eyes, looked at Rina Oda, who was standing in the corner with her head bowed, and said coldly: "You, come and help me read these materials again, and continue to look for clues to Fanghu Immortal Mountain." I've found what I need, and you may have a way to live. ”

Rina Oda had a panicked look on her face, nodded her head resignedly, walked to Ning Wushu's side, picked up the stack of materials in both hands, and began to study it carefully. Ning Wushu held his cheeks, closed his eyes, and fell into thought.

Fanghu Immortal Mountain does not exist, and the fruit of sweet tea has indeed passed away and comes from Fanghu Immortal Mountain, these two things are clearly in conflict, and there must be something wrong with them. If you break it down in detail, you can get several ideas.

The first is that the Fanghu Senzan does exist, but the foreigner in Oda Rina's mouth has never seen it, so it is understood in the way of a mirage.

The second kind, Fanghu Xianshan really does not exist, and the fruit of sweet tea has never existed, it is just a legend, after all, no one can tell what happened hundreds of years ago, and it is even possible that someone prepared a magical antidote pill at that time, but refused to reveal the secret recipe, so he made up such a story, and then the secret recipe was lost, so he said that the sweet tea was dead.

The third type, the square pot fairy mountain does not exist, but the fruit of sweet tea exists. Perhaps the person who found the sweet tea tree in the first place was not the sweet tea found in Fanghu Immortal Mountain at all, but he didn't know what the purpose was, and said that this thing was found from Fanghu Immortal Mountain, which gave rise to such a legend.

All three possibilities exist. There are so few clues about these legends that there is little basis for speculation. And...... Ning Wushu thought of the stack of thick materials, Gao Hua Gu Lord had studied these legendary places for decades, but there was still no result, she wanted to accurately find the fruit of sweet tea in just two or three years, was it really possible?

Wait a minute......

Ning Wushu's heart suddenly jumped and he opened his eyes.

Why do you want to find Fanghu Xianshan? Because from the very beginning, the four words Fanghu Xianshan have been associated with the fruit of sweet tea, Lin Mobai said so, Lin Wangshu said so, and even Baili Yao and Beitangyan said so. Therefore, she subconsciously thought that if she wanted to find the fruit of sweet tea, she must first find Fanghu Immortal Mountain. But...... If according to the third result of my own analysis, the sweet tea tree did not come from Fanghu Immortal Mountain at all? What if we carefully focused on finding this sweet tea tree that can bear the fruit of sweet tea? or even ...... Looking for something that has the same effect?

Previously, Baili Yao and Beitang Yan once said that if there is really such a sweet tea fruit, then it must grow in a place with severe poison and strange poison, otherwise it is impossible to produce fruits that can solve thousands of poisons. But there are thousands of detoxifying herbs in the world, is it possible that in another poisonous place, the same herb has been grown, it is not sweet tea, but some equally common herbs, but because the place of growth is different, so it also has the same effect? There may be a geranium, a bitter artemisia or a seven-leaf flower...... Can they all help?

Although the land of the Central Plains is large, isn't it more reliable to find a place of strange poison and a miraculous herb than to look for the ethereal Fanghu Immortal Mountain? As long as it can dissolve the poison ordered by the judge in Lin Mobai's body, is it so important whether it is the fruit of sweet tea?

Ning Wushu's eyes gradually revealed brilliance, as if she saw a new path, and her brain, which was a little sluggish, also spun rapidly, and a set of logic gradually took shape in her mind.

She quickly snatched the stack of materials from Rina Oda's hand and looked at it, staring at the record of Fanghu Immortal Mountain. Soon, she found such a line of text.

"The location of the square pot is located on the border between the East China Sea and the Borderless Sea. This rumor first originated in the middle of the Yellow River. According to the oral tradition of the local aborigines, there are rumors since their ancestors that there is a fairy mountain on the edge of the boundless sea, and there are rare and exotic beasts in the mountains, called square pots. His descendants also sought it, but they could not find it......"

Ning Wushu's fingers stroked lightly on this line of text, and a bold idea emerged.

This so-called rumor may come from the person who brought the sweet tea fruit back to Shenzhou. He brought back the sweet tea fruit from the sea, but that island was not a Fanghu Immortal Mountain, but just an ordinary island, but this person may have seen a lot of herbs and exotic beasts on the island that had never been seen in Shenzhou, so he cited it as an immortal mountain, and for some reason, he thought it was Fanghu Immortal Mountain.

Therefore, if she wants to find those places with strange poisons and miraculous herbs, the first place to start is the island on the edge of the East China Sea and the Boundless Sea!

Thinking of this, Ning Wushu raised his head and asked Oda Rina, "I heard that you have also been a pirate at sea for a few years, and you tell me, on the edge of the East China Sea and the Boundless Sea, is there an island with some strange poisonous places or strange herbs growing?"

Rina Oda was confused by the question, and hurriedly responded, "Let me think about it." After thinking for a while, Rina Oda frowned and said with some uncertainty: "Our fleet once accidentally discovered a small island, there are many inhabitants on the island, we wanted to plunder some supplies and leave, but the inhabitants of this island can blow arrows, there is a strange poison on the arrows, all the crew members in our fleet who are hit by blowing arrows are instantly suffocated to death in a few breaths, so we abandoned the island and left quickly." Other than that, I don't remember...... I don't know if there are any islands in that area of the sea that are similar to what the heroine said. ”

"Is there a strange poison on the island?" Ning Wushu's eyes flickered, and the information that Rina Oda said was only a little different from the information she wanted to get, but it wasn't necessarily a clue. What's more, she has to go to the sea next, instead of spinning around like a fly without a head, why don't you go to this island first?

Thinking of this, Ning Wushu's heart calmed down a little. Either way, there was a goal to follow. She exhaled and said to Rina Oda, "Very well, your next task is to take me to this island." ”

Rina Oda bowed her head and replied, "Yes." But...... Woman, if you want to find that island, you must have a sea ship that can withstand the wind and rain and a chart of the sea. The island I once owned, after I was taken by the Heavenly King Sect, was destroyed by the Heavenly King Sect, and the sea ships and charts were nowhere to be found......

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the sea ship, as for the sea charts......" Ning Wushu snorted coldly, "Since you have been in that sea area for so many years, you think there is a way." Otherwise, after you get out of the abyss of no return, how can you make a comeback? Do you want to go back and be a good woman? Don't play tricks on me, when we go to sea, you must take me to find the island accurately, otherwise I have a way to make you remember, but the process may not be so pleasant. ”

Rina Oda still lowered her head, hearing Ning Wushu's threat, her expression did not change, and she did not respond. Seeing this, Ning Wushu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said with a smile: "Do you really think that I am easy to deceive when I am young? If you want to get benefits from me, it is not so easy!"

Then, Rina Oda was horrified to find that her five senses disappeared in an instant, she couldn't hear, she couldn't see, she couldn't smell anything from her mouth and nose, and even the skin of her limbs lost touch, and the whole person was like falling into an infinite abyss, only the thoughts in her mind were constantly turning, and she fell to the ground all at once, her hands and feet kept scratching and scratching, but she couldn't make a sound in her mouth, and she could only roll helplessly on the ground.

Ning Wushu glanced at Rina Oda in disgust, and there was no trace of unbearability in his eyes. Knife had already told her what kind of business Rina Oda had done on the island, and as a woman, she plundered women from good families and even girls in her early tens, raised them into high-class prostitutes, brainwashed them into slaves who were completely loyal to her, and manipulated their lives at will.

So, when Rina Oda seemed to want to use something like "sea charts" to try to get some benefits from Ning Wushu, Ning Wushu did not hesitate to make a move. She used a formula from the Heavenly Creation Technique, called the Forced Finger, which is a special method of sealing acupoints. This move is extremely domineering, directly sealing the opponent's meridians with strong internal strength, making people lose their five senses in a very short period of time, most people who fall for this trick will soon die in despair and panic, this mental torture far exceeds the physical pain.

Seeing that Rina Oda was about to die, Ning Wushu took action to lift the hand seal, Rina Oda rolled up from the ground and sat up, her face was mixed with snot and tears, she gasped for breath, she stared at Ning Wushu with wide eyes, as if she was looking at a god and a demon.

The moment Ning Wushu looked at her, his heart trembled. She is just an ordinary girl, not a big person who holds life and death in her hands, but she is used to seeing life and death, so she has a much harder heart than ordinary people. But even so, in the face of such a pair of eyes, her heart still shook a little. It's not pity, it's one of the most basic forms of empathy as a human being. But soon, she came back to her senses and said coldly, "If you want to try again, you don't have to speak." ”

"I ...... I said......" Rina Oda's throat uttered a hoarse voice, "in ...... On the coast of the East China Sea...... There are my former subordinates...... ...... in their hands There are also nautical charts...... and some resources, etc...... Waiting for me to make a comeback......"

"Good. Ning Wushu closed his eyes and said, "Get out." ”

Rina Oda staggered away, and Ning Wushu opened his eyes again and looked down at his hands. Since leaving the Spirit Mirror Gate, she has killed many, many people, and done very cruel things, is this the so-called...... She suddenly remembered what she had said when she taught Wang Shouren archery, and it seemed that her mind was far from being truly stable......

At the same time, Jinling City, an ordinary house.

Fu Jie, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, pushed open the door and walked in, this was his current residence in Jinling City. I saw that he was carrying a packet of cut roast chicken and a jar of wine in his hand, but his face was sad, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

He sat down at the table, put the chicken and the wine on the table, and ate a sip of the chicken and a sip of wine, but his eyes were wandering, obviously thinking about something, but to no avail. Just as he was about to finish his chicken and wine, there was a knock at the hut.

"Who?" Fu asked without looking back.

The man outside the door lazily replied, "Who else can there be but me?"

"Oh, come in yourself, the door is not locked. Fu Jue still didn't look back.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Xian walked in stretching his waist. As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xian's nose twitched, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Wow, shine on the roast chicken in the lake building!"

Fu Jue said weakly: "I didn't know you would come, the matter was done so quickly?"

"Damn, it's annoying, it's just to do things every day...... Xu Xian scolded in a low voice, "I don't know what Miss Ning thinks, she actually asked me to help you, you kid too, you are idle all day long, but you always send me." ”

Fu Jue shook his head: "You also know, although I have the name of an envoy of the Fish Dragon Guard, there is no one to bird me now." Now I am under the nose of Li Jingzhen again, and I want to investigate some things, but I can't count on anyone except you. ”

Xu Xian sighed twice, picked up the wine jar that still had some bottoms left, poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief happily, and then said: "Li Jing's half life is gone, and he has been lying in bed all day, and now there are three big guys in Yulongwei, Lu Tianlong, Li Yuanhao, and his eldest apprentice Li Xuanyun." Lu Tianlong is bent on climbing up in the imperial court, Li Hangyun is afraid that you are scared to death, only that Li Yuanhao is a little more difficult, but I think it shouldn't be difficult for you to get him, right?"

"Afraid of me, I think you want to kill me, right?" Fu Jue laughed dryly, waved his hand, and said: "My mother's identity is too special, they all think that I am here to take over the fish and dragon guard, plus the battle in Xiangnan, naturally prevent me from being like a flood beast." But after coming to Jinling City, I have been thinking about another question...... Who is my father?"

"Eh, what you asked me to do is also related to this? I thought you were investigating the matter of Yulongwei at the beginning of its establishment, what was your conspiracy to seize Yulongwei?" Xu Xian muttered suspiciously, at the same time, he took out an object from his arms and put it on the table, and said: "Yulongwei was founded just twenty years ago, although you said that it was founded by your mother, but there has never been too much circulation of the name Fu Xiayao, only that it is an intelligence agency specially opened by the emperor in order to facilitate the understanding of civil and military officials and control the world's rivers and lakes. The only clue I could find was this one painting. ”

What Xu Xian put on the table was a scroll of paintings. Fu Jue took the scroll and said to Xu Xian: "There are some things that I am not suitable to tell you before I am sure, and I didn't even tell Wushu because I was afraid of causing a bigger mess." But after coming to Jinling City, I found some problems...... Who is my father? The unbooked parents didn't know, and Li Jingzhen refused to say, which made me even more confused, and even had a terrible guess...... I need to validate my idea. ”

As he spoke, Fu Jue slowly opened the scroll in his hand......
