Chapter 269: Yanbo Sea Immortal Mountain is hard to find
In a shipwreck area like this, the fish are all in groups, and after Xie Mingzhou pulled up the first fish, everyone also had a harvest, and the cries sounded from time to time, and even the girl who didn't like to talk was crying and fishing.
An hour later, the Phantom Lion King finally caught the first big fish, which was a forty-pound grouper, and everyone was even more interested, and they didn't even eat dinner until ten o'clock in the evening, which stopped.
After cleaning up the harvest, two groupers, as well as a big yellow croaker of more than a catty, six or seven yellowfin tuna, and the other are worthless cod and black fish, and the worthless fish means that it is not very tasty fish, Xie Mingzhou released all these cod and black fish, leaving only groupers, large yellow croaker and yellowfin tuna.
In the evening, it is a carnival barbecue banquet, and such a delicious ingredient is a rare delicacy with only a little processing. The staff on the boat, plus Xie Mingzhou and more than 20 other people, actually ate a grouper weighing more than 20 catties and a yellowfin tuna weighing 60 catties.
............
The "Gulf" has been sailing in the Pacific Ocean for more than a month, and after experiencing the novelty of the beginning, Xie Mingzhou and others now will no longer fish day and night, and only throw a few rods when they are bored.
Now they are interested in finding the unknown or uninhabited islands of the Pacific Ocean, and then going on an adventure to the top for a few days to experience the life of a wild man.
There are more than 20,000 islands in the Pacific Ocean, most of which are inhabited, and only those in extremely harsh conditions (mainly without fresh water) are uninhabited, and some are notorious and no one dares to go up, such as "Wailing Island".
Located in the South Pacific Ocean, Wailing Island is a small desert island with a radius of only a few kilometers, which is very mysterious.
No matter day or night, there will be a sound of "crying and crying", sometimes like a group of people crying, sometimes like birds and beasts screaming, it sounds very miserable, covering the passing ships with a strange, panicked, sad atmosphere.
No one has been able to explain where this voice came from, and no one wants to go to this desert island.
Xie Mingzhou didn't go to Wailing Island either, in fact, he went to sea this time, and there was an unknown hope in his heart, that is, he wanted to find the legendary three immortal mountains: Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island. This Wailing Island can't be the legendary fairy mountain just by hearing this name, how can he be interested?
The ancients believed that there were five immortal mountains on the sea: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. According to "Liezi Tang Wen": "Its mountain is 30,000 miles high, its top is 9,000 li, and the middle of the mountain is 70,000 miles apart. ............ "In the end, Daiyu and Yuanqiao two mountains drifted away without a trace, leaving only Fanghu (abbot), Yingzhou, and Penglai three mountains.
Modern people generally believe that most of the fables, folk tales or myths and legends in the book are not credible, but Xie Mingzhou does not think so.
Liezi, known as Kou, also known as Yukou (also known as "Yuankou" and "Guokou"), is a famous Taoist master in the early Warring States period, is another representative of Taoist thought in addition to Laozi and Zhuangzi, he has studied under Guan Yinzi, Huqiuzi, Lao Shang, Zhibo Gaozi, etc. He lived in seclusion in Zheng Guo for 40 years, did not seek fame and fortune, and was quiet and monastic.
Liezi has written 20 books, more than 100,000 words, a total of "Liezi", all of which have been lost. The eight chapters of this "Liezi" are mostly folk tales, fables, and myths and legends. From the point of view of ideological content and language use, it may have been written by the Jin people, and it was compiled into the present book "Liezi" by the famous metaphysician Zhang Zhan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty according to the collection of his ancestors, and collected fragments after the war.
Even the Buddhist scriptures are mostly influenced by Lao, Zhuang and Liezi, and there are many "references" to the teachings, among which the "Liezi" is the most.
Liezi is revered by Taoism as "Chongxu Zhenren", and his book "Liezi" is known as "Chongxu Sutra" in Taoism, which is an important classic of Taoism, but now the Taoist collection is not the original, and it is inevitable that there are many fallacies.
But when Xie Mingzhou was in the fairy world, he had seen the original "Chongxu Sutra" in Changchun Palace, so he naturally knew the truth of what was said in it, but he didn't know where it was.
The area around the East China Sea and the South China Sea has long been turned upside down, and there will definitely be no immortal mountains, and those words that are chiseled and attached are not credible. Since leaving the Bass Strait, Xie Mingzhou has been scanning with his divine thoughts from time to time, and he has not let go of the seabed, but he still has not found anything, and he now doubts whether this legendary immortal mountain is on the earth.
At this time, Yifeng cultivated in the cabin, and the Phantom Lion King, Butterfly Dance and Yiyuan sacrificed the Yuan Shen to explore the bottom of the sea, first, to refine the Yuan Shen, and secondly, to see if there is anything worth exploring on the bottom of the sea under the thousands of meters in the Pacific Ocean.
In the past month or so, the "Gulf" has also encountered several storms, but with Xie Mingzhou here, everyone is safe and sound, and the people on board have seen his methods and are more respectful to Xie Mingzhou from the heart.
"Sit down. Xie Mingzhou pointed to the leather sofa opposite and said to the captain Liu Changfu. He called Liu Changfu over to ask him about the things on the sea, after all, he had been running on the sea for more than 20 years, and he should have seen and heard a lot.
"Thank you!" Liu Changfu sat down opposite Xie Mingzhou, but still kept his back straight, he felt that the young man sitting opposite him had brought him a lot of pressure, so that he had to maintain a very restrained attitude.
"Changfu, you have been running on this sea for more than 20 years, you should have heard a lot of those strange legends, can you talk to me?"
"I've heard a lot of legends, I don't know which one Mr. Xie wants to hear?"
"Tell me about the islands, right?"
"Islands, there are many mysterious places on the islands in the vast sea, not counting the Wailing Island, there are also Rotating Islands, Split Islands, Ghost Islands, Traveling Islands, etc., all of which are particularly mysterious places. ”
Liu Changfu thought for a while and said, "The rotating island will continue to rotate by itself, and when it is fast, it can reach one rotation per minute, and the dividing island will sometimes split into two small islands, and sometimes it will merge into one island, and the ghost island will often disappear, and often appear inexplicably, and it will be changeable! The traveling island will walk on its own, and it has moved 2.5 kilometers in more than 100 years...... Isn't that weird?"
"But this moving island and rotating island are not in the Pacific Ocean, but in the Atlantic Ocean...... As for Ghost Island, it has been found all over the world, and there is an island called Little Lat, which is a typical ghost island in the western waters of the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. ”
Xie Mingzhou fell into deep thought, he was thinking about the possible reasons for the formation of this phenomenon on these islands, but it was impossible to draw conclusions just by listening to the description, and he decided to visit every island that Liu Changfu talked about.
