Chapter Twenty-Three: Fairy Island
Qin Feng was silent for a moment, just about to say something. www.biquge.info"Miss, it's time to take medicine." But behind him a servant girl came with a tray containing several fruits and a bowl of medicinal juice.
Yuan Lihua replied politely, and even with some inferiority: "Thank you, you go down first." ”
Qin Feng immediately took it and placed it on a wooden box next to Yuan Lihua.
Those fruits are not unremarkable, but the bowl of medicinal juice, the residues of deer antler, ginseng, cordyceps and other great supplements are still faintly visible. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, I didn't expect Yuan Lihua's body to be so weak that she would take such supplements as her daily diet.
"Drink it while it's hot. Qin Feng then picked up the wooden bowl and handed it over.
Yuan Lihua took it with both hands: "Thank you, you can eat something too." ”
Qin Feng was not polite, he picked up a fruit he had never seen before and took a bite, but it was very sweet.
Suddenly, a sea breeze blew, "Yikes." Yuan Lihua screamed, but the hood on her head was hanging down. The sparse yellow hair and the markings on the face were suddenly exposed.
Panicked back a few steps, crouched down and put the wooden bowl down. Hurriedly put the hood back on. He looked very nervously: "Did I scare you?"
Qin Feng approached and shook his head, "Do you mean the markings on your body?" After that, he raised the fruit in his hand and said, "Actually, people are like this fruit, and there are some people who are born with defects. Compared to the good fruits, if it is a curse, it is better to say that the gods love its fragrance alone. ”
Suddenly, Yuan Liping's face was a little shocked, but suddenly turned angry and said: "If he really likes it, then he should gnaw it clean." As if he had been touched in the sore spot, he didn't even pick up the diameter of the medicine bowl and turned away.
Only Qin Feng was left standing in place with some embarrassment. He looked down at the fruit in his hand, swallowed it in three or five bites, swallowed it cleanly, turned his head to the shadow in the cabin and shouted, "Who is Your Excellency, what are you doing eavesdropping on the conversation?"
As he spoke, the shadow walked out from behind the cabin: "Eavesdropping? I warn you, don't think that you can pay attention to the fact that Xu Gong, a psychic medium, is young and ignorant. ”
But he was a partial general with a solemn face and a pair of axes on his left and right sides. A few feet away, you can also feel a sense of murder.
It's just a mortal, Qin Feng tilted his head and said unhappily: "Who are you?"
The partial general raised his head and replied: "I am the guardian of the spirit medium Xu Gong - Cangwu. ”
"Well, I hope you can do your job to the best of your ability. The good mood for a while dissipated, Qin Feng naturally would not quarrel with him, and passed by while talking.
"This guy is not a good person. ”
Turning the cabin, Qin Feng vaguely heard him talking to himself. A loyal dog of the Xu family, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart: "Yes, I think that if a person feels that he is a bad person, even if he is bad, he will not be bad." On the contrary, those who are full of benevolence and morality often do all kinds of evil things. ”
......
Two hours later, the five iron boats were finalized.
More than 1,000 prisoners and armor-clothed soldiers shared four ships, and the remaining 200 guards and Qin Feng and other warriors rode the most majestic main ship with Xu Yuanxin.
Compared with those crabs in bamboo baskets, eight people are crammed into the cabin of less than ten square meters, and the soldiers and prisoners. Qin Feng was only comfortable sleeping with one person.
Declined the original sky, which was very high at the beginning. The person who lives and sleeps with Qin Feng is naturally Zhang Jin, who has a one-sided relationship.
The two stayed in the cabin.
However, half a day passed without feeling bored, I don't know if it was because he was locked up in prison for too long and was not good at talking to people, Zhang Jin was still lying on the bed motionless like a dead corpse. If it weren't for the fact that my eyes were open from time to time, I would have thought I was asleep.
The silence made people feel stunned, and even Qin Feng, who had always been happy and quiet, finally couldn't help but speak: "I don't know when I can get to that fairy island." It seems that we will have to take care of each other for a while along the way. ”
Cherishing words like gold, Zhang Jin said: "Hmm." ”
Qin Feng said again: "By the way, I am good at using swords. You're ...... again."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jin snorted again: "Hmm." ”
Qin Feng was speechless: "Hey, don't you just uh-huh." ”
Zhang Jin: "Hmm. ”
Qin Feng shut up with interest: "......" and then lie back on the bed. Secretly slandered whether this person was wrongfully imprisoned, otherwise how could he be so indifferent and cynical.
However, Qin Feng was not interested in these gossips, and lay down for less than a quarter of an hour. Qin Feng sat up again, and sat cross-legged for a moment. The "Alchemy Technique" was running again.
......
The days were calm day after day, except for the unpredictable rainstorm.
The empty sea is permeable, and there is no reference. Only when the night is clear and the stars are dotted. Xu Yuanxin took Yuan Liping with him, holding a divination plate and a sea chart for stargazing. At this point, the flag bearer will always be asked to calibrate the course.
Under the increasingly excellent vision, Qin Feng could clearly see that Xu Yuanxin was holding a faintly shining purple divination plate in his hand and comparing it with the sea chart in his hand from time to time.
"Is that a magic weapon?" muttered to himself, but judging from his appearance, this Xu Yuanxin was definitely not a monk. Although the body is wide and fat, but people can't look good, Qin Feng still raised a few points of caution against it, maybe his cultivation is still shallow, or maybe Xu Yuanxin knows some kind of concealment technique.
But there is one thing Qin Feng is sure of, even if Xu Yuanxin is a monk, he will not be strong. is like Jia Qing who took himself to throw away the graves of ten thousand ghosts, otherwise he would not have borrowed the power of the mundane to hunt for treasures.
......
It's more than a month later.
Time is as boring as the unchanging sea. Now that he has become a cultivator, Qin Feng naturally no longer thinks about integrating into the group of chivalrous warriors he once admired. is still studying "Alchemy" in the cabin without leaving home.
"A beetle snake, it's a beetle snake. But suddenly I heard an excited shout from outside the cabin.
It happened that the aura was running for the next Sunday, and he said to Zhang Jin, who didn't exist at all, "Go out and take a look." Qin Feng pushed open the hatch, but he was caught off guard and hurriedly covered the door with his hand.
But I saw hundreds of strange snakes several feet long with wings on their backs passing through the cabin on the roof of the ship, and they burrowed into the sea to catch the fish that followed the waves of the boat.
He had ever seen such an existence that he had heard of in a strange story, and the armor of the ship was crowded with people, all of whom were talking excitedly.
The sudden, slightly exaggerated voice covered up everyone's speech: "The emperor blessed." Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he saw the auspicious spirit that is said to have become extinct. The beetle snake is out, and the hole is revealed. This is a good omen!"
Qin Feng heard the prestige, but it was Xu Yuanxin's accompanying officials who were happy with their position and reveled in their words.
Even ignoring the official who exceeded the etiquette, Xu Yuanxin was also overjoyed, nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes." The ancients had a saying that the snake rode the fog and never left the nest. There must be an island here. ”
As if confirming the words, a black dot suddenly appeared at the sea level in the distance. couldn't help but high-five in ecstasy: "Xianshan, it must be that Xianshan is not wrong." Even if there are no immortals living on it, there is definitely some kind of natural treasure. The Mandate of Heaven is in me, and after a thousand years of my ancestor Xu Fu, the Immortal Mountain that the Eastern Qin Empire has not found when it went to sea nine times has finally been found by my Xu Yuanxin!"
The official nodded again and again: "Congratulations to Gong Xu." All you need to do is hand over what you have to His Majesty the Emperor......" I didn't realize at all that when I mentioned the word emperor, Xu Yuanxin's face suddenly became much more embarrassed.
With his outstanding eyesight, Qin Feng had already seen the island in the distance one step ahead, "Immortal Mountain." "However, there is no sign of Qionglou Yuyu, or even any sign of people perched. Some of them are just dense forests that cover the entire island, and the lonely cliffs in the center of the island are completely covered by vines. If it is said that there are immortals living here, it is more convincing to say that there are some fierce beasts that choose people to devour.
However, at this time, the vast majority of people seemed to be indulging in the ecstasy of discovering Lu Yu. They all cheered, and they were not as worried as Qin Feng. Even the other four ships could be heard from five nautical miles away with deafening cheers.
It's not that these people are really short-sighted. Unlike Qin Feng and a few other people who have nothing to do all day long, HNA is definitely a hard errand. There are also daily food shortages and crowded dormitories where people can't sleep. The growing dissatisfaction spread among the prisoners and soldiers, and now I see how Lu Yu can not be ecstatic.
Perhaps it is the stakeholders who make these people ignore the potential dangers.
However, these problems never bothered Qin Feng. As a special treatment earned by strength, the daily supply has not decreased in the slightest. Day after day, I have been concentrating on practicing "Qi Alchemy", but I have gained a lot. In the past six months, although the abnormalities of the body have not been resolved. However, under the nourishment of spiritual power, the limbs and hundreds of corpses have finally been refined and solidified by spiritual power, and the strength of the physical body has increased by at least five times compared to the initial physical body of mortals.
The most important thing is that you can finally barely absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and strengthen the breath of origin in the body. It is also based on this that Qin Feng's daily dietary needs have been greatly reduced, and he is already close to the realm of Bigu. even as a favor, he gave Zhang Jin a lot of daily food. For this reason, Zhang Jin was quite moved, and it can be regarded as bringing the relationship between the two closer.
"Are you worried about something?" was thinking wildly when Zhang Jin's voice came from behind him.
Without looking back, Qin Feng pointed to Lu Yu in the distance and expressed his worries: "I'm afraid it's not the Immortal Island, but the Demon Cave." ”
only heard a sneer, and when he heard this, Xu Yuanxin said freely: "What are you afraid of, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Moreover, there are nearly 4,000 servants here. It's going to die, and the wheels are enough for you to line up for a while. ”
Qin Feng turned his head and laughed at himself: "It makes sense, it's me who is worried about the sky." Yu Guang saw the smile on the corner of Xu Yuanxin's mouth, but he couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes.
Facing Qin Feng's eyes, it was as if he wanted to hide the gloom in his heart deeper. Xu Yuanxin showed a more hearty smile again, waved his hand, and said with a rare joke: "Isn't it." Oh, I don't think about fairy fate or anything. I'm just waiting for a safe and steady return, and then go back to marry another concubine, and have a few more children to spend this life in peace. ”
Qin Feng joked: "At this time, don't you feel unlucky to say this? After that, he deliberately made a sad and indifferent appearance: "What will I do when I return home? At that time, I would have already died." ”
Xu Yuanxin was stunned for a moment, no wonder he felt that what he said just now was inexplicably familiar, isn't this the line that the storyteller can't live three times. couldn't maintain a serious posture anymore, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he pointed at Qin Feng and laughed: "Haha, you guy." Usually always with a serious face, suddenly such a contrast. It's really a joke. ”
didn't wait for Qin Feng to answer. Suddenly, his face turned straight again, and Xu Yuanxin shouted: "Full speed ahead." The ship sped up suddenly. The diameter sails to the fairy island within reach.
Finally, after only half a cup of tea, I was finally able to get ashore. It's a pity that the water is too shallow, and the five ships can only anchor one mile offshore. It took almost half a day to build a simple camp by relying on dozens of boats to carry supplies.
Stand on the shore and look out to sea. The five ships stood side by side, like an iron wall. One hundred and ten bronze guns came straight and straight, and sixty crossbow beds stood by with bows in the air.
Siege-level firepower, Xu Yuanxin waved his big hand and said proudly: "Demon beast." No, even a monk below the foundation building period will not be able to withstand the cluster attack of my bronze artillery!"
