Mending the treasure ship on the hill is naturally the top priority of the moment.

Among the fifty-five sects, there are not many people who know how to build ships, except for Peng San, there is only the "Taihu Gang" in the previous alliance of six factions. Tang Zilan assigned Peng San to take charge of ship repair, supplemented by the helmsman surnamed Hong of the "Taihu Gang", and dispatched more than 50 people from the "Qingcheng" and "Diancang" southwestern sects to act as helpers and follow the instructions of Peng and Hong.

The manufacture of sails was handed over to Qin Sang of the "Emei faction", and the manpower of several sects was also assigned to her to dispatch, and there were a lot of things such as cloth curtains and bed sheets in the "Wanyi Manor", and there was no shortage of materials for sewing sails.

In addition to repairing the ship, Tang Zilan also assigned more than ten sects to let them divide their troops into multiple ways to explore the island.

This "Wanyi Island" is not small, running through the north and south at least ten miles away, the south side is a seaside cliff, the southeast is the bay and the wharf, the "Wanyi Manor" of this piece of building, in fact, only occupies a corner of the northeast of the island, and the west and north sides of the mountains and rocks are towering, there is no trace of people, only a little shrub jungle is faintly visible. Although it is possible to guess that there is no water source on the island, it is necessary to send someone to search it, and if fresh water can be found, the current problem can be solved immediately.

As for the other dozen or so sects, Tang Zilan made them take on the responsibility of guarding and guarding. Although all the people of the "Wanyimen" have been withdrawn, there are no serious enemies on the island now, and the dozens of maids and servants who could not escape from the original manor who could not escape have been imprisoned. But in such an unfamiliar environment, the matter of defense still cannot be ignored, Tang Zilan is a scheming ** lake, and he knows this very well.

Tang Zilan is not only quite reasonable in assigning affairs, but also very smart about the allocation of manpower from various sects.

In the hands of those who participated in ship repair and sail making, except for the alliance of the six factions such as Nangong Qihua Bushi, they were mainly people from the various sects in the southwest that he had led. Just because this matter is very important, he trusts these descendant sects more.

The task of exploring the island was entrusted to more than a dozen sects on the "Wudang" and "Kongtong" sides, and was under the full command of Baojing Zhenren and Weng Yibai.

As for the vigilance and defense, headed by the "Shaolin", "Huashan" and "Putuo" sects, the leader of the Yuanguang master, just because there are many masters in these sects, if the combat power is the first in the original tripartite shili, it is very suitable to take on this responsibility.

In this way, most of the sects that had been allied with each other are still cooperating together, but the various shili are not mixed with each other, which not only makes it easier for everyone to cooperate with each other when acting, but also minimizes the possibility of fighting even if there is a grudge between some sects belonging to different shili.

Half an hour later, Tang Zilan had already assigned tasks to all fifty-five sects. And all the masters on the island immediately took action.

When people are faced with a crisis and have no way out, they can put aside their preconceptions and work together, and only at such times can they give full play to the potential of mutual cooperation.

The people on "Wanyi Island" are all important figures in their respective sects, and their status in the rivers and lakes is not low. But in today's situation, no one can take care of these, and in order to survive and escape, even if they do rough work, they have no complaints.

Most of the people in the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Evil Dog Gate" were assigned to repair the ship, and Chu Yiyi, Hai Hongzhu and Bai Yiling and other female dependents also went to help Qin Sang sew the sails.

Only Hua Bushi himself, Tang Zilan did not assign him any tasks. This eldest young master is not good at martial arts, and his physique is very weak, so it is not suitable to search and guard, even if he is asked to repair the ship, he does not have enough strength, which can be described as useless.

At this time, he sat idly on the mahogany chair in the conference hall, shaking a folding fan in his hand, while Tang Zilan sat at the table opposite Hua Bushi, and there were only the two of them in the conference hall.

Tang Zilu looked at Hua Bushi with interest, and suddenly said: "In Tingtao Pavilion, thanks to Young Master Hua's help twice, Tang was able to save his life, I should really thank Young Master Hua!"

Hua Bushi said: "I don't dare to do this." What Hua Bushi did was also to save himself, if the Tang Sect Master hadn't blown up the pavilion wall, I would inevitably have been burned to death in the Tingtao Pavilion. ”

Tang Zilan said: "Lu Qiuhong set up this game, and the end is extremely insidious and vicious, but this matter can also prove that with Young Master Hua's wisdom and Tang someone's martial arts, even in a desperate situation, he has the ability to get out of trouble." ”

His eyes flashed, he looked at Hua Bushi, and said: "Tang can assert that if we work together, we will be invincible in the rivers and lakes, even Shaolin Wudang, and there is nothing to be afraid of, but I don't know what Young Master Hua wants?"

Hua Bushi was slightly stunned, and said: "The master of the Tang Sect is serious, now we are all trapped on this isolated island, everyone is looking forward to the head of the Tang Sect, Hua Bushi and the 'Evil Dog Gate' will also obey Brother Tang's orders." ”

Tang Zilan smiled slightly, and said, "What Tang said is of course not on this island, but about the cooperation between you and my two sects after we get out of trouble from this island." ”

In fact, Hua Bushi had already guessed the meaning of this deputy master of the Tang Sect when Tang Zilan said the previous sentence, which was to invite the "Evil Dog Sect" to join the alliance of their Southwest Realm Sect. It's a pity that so far, he is not willing to agree.

The Hunan realm is adjacent to the Sichuan realm and the Qianjing realm, and the distance between Wuyang City in Xiangxi and Chengdu Mansion in the Sichuan realm, where the "Shuzhong Tang Gate" is located, is not too far, which is probably one of the reasons why Tang Zilan wants to win over the "Evil Dog Gate".

As the saying goes, "it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree", and forming an alliance with the "Tang Sect", one of the "Seven Great Sects", certainly has many benefits, and it is also something that many sects can't ask for. If there is a big backer of "Tang Gate", the general black and white rivers and lakes Shili will not dare to easily offend the "Evil Dog Gate".

It's just that Hua Bushi is also clear that compared with the "Evil Dog Gate" and the "Shuzhong Tang Gate", there is a big difference in strength and prestige. Without the corresponding strength, even if the alliance is formed, it will not have an equal status, in other words, once the alliance is formed, the "Evil Dog Sect" will inevitably become a subsidiary sect of the "Shuzhong Tang Sect".

In fact, the alliance of the Jianghu sects in the southwest is headed by the "Tang Sect" and the "Emei" faction, and the other "Qingcheng", "Diancang" and other sects must obey the dispatch and instructions of these two sects, which is also unacceptable to Hua Bushi.

The ideal of this eldest young master is to build the "Evil Dog Gate" into the largest gang in the world, how can he be willing to attach himself to others?

Hua Bushi pondered for a long time before he said: "Brother Tang's grand intentions, Hua Bushi knows it, but now that we are trapped here, whether we can escape with our lives is still between the two words, why not wait until you and I get out of trouble before considering it." ”

Although this remark did not directly refuse, it was tantamount to explaining the matter of the alliance, and Hua Bushi still had to consider it before deciding. The eldest young master's answer was quite surprising to Tang Zilan, originally in his mind, the "Evil Dog Gate" was just a small gang entrenched in one city and one place, and if he could get the opportunity to form an alliance with a famous faction like the "Tang Gate in Shuzhong", he should not hesitate to agree.

Tang Zilu stared at Hua Bushi's face, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Young Master Hua is right, this matter is not in a hurry, I will talk about it later." ”

He changed his words and said: "For the plan to get out with the treasure boat, Tang is very confident, presumably in two days, you and I will definitely be able to get out of trouble from this island." At that time, Tang sincerely invited Young Master Hua to the main altar of the 'Tang Gate in Shuzhong' in Chengdu Mansion to be a guest for a few days, is Young Master Hua willing to enjoy the light?"

Hua Bushi said with a smile: "The Tang Sect Lord invited, how dare Hua Bushi not go? I have heard for a long time that Chengdu in the Sichuan Realm is the country of abundance, and I have been longing for it for a long time, and I will have to go to your mansion to disturb you for a few days." ”

Tang Zilan and Hua Bushi are both scheming people, and in a few words of conversation and laughter, the embarrassment caused by the rejection of the invitation was completely resolved.

But at this moment, someone rushed in from outside the hall quickly, but it was a disciple of the Tang Sect.

Seeing that there was a look of panic on his face, Shi Li reported: "Tell the deputy sect master that the Zhengde Dao chief and several disciples of the 'Shangqing Gate' were attacked and killed in the valley to the west of the island!"

Tang Zilan's face changed immediately, and he stood up and said, "There is such a thing! When did this happen?"

The Tang Sect disciple said, "It's the news that came just now, the real person of the Treasure Realm has already led his disciples to rush over. ”

Among the assignments of Tang Zilan, the masters of more than a dozen sects such as "Wudang" and "Kongtong" were led by the real people of Baojing, who were responsible for searching the island and looking for water sources, and the "Shangqing Gate" was also among them.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ half an hour later, Tang Zilan had already arrived at the place where the Zhengde Daoist was attacked, accompanied by several disciples of the "Tang Sect".

Hua Bushi, who had nothing to do in the manor, also followed.

This is a small valley at the southwestern tip of the island, surrounded by rocks and phosphorus, and desolate.

The so-called valley is actually only dozens of zhang deep, more like a ravine. On both sides of the sand mounds, there are some low grasses growing here and there, and from the west side of the valley there is the beach and the coast.

The real people of Baojing had already rushed here with people, and the bodies of the four Taoist priests of Zhengde and the "Shangqing Gate" had also been carried out of the valley and placed side by side on the grass beside them.

In order to explore the whole island as soon as possible, Baojing Zhenren divided the people of each faction into ten roads, set off together, and searched all parts of the island separately, and the five people including the Zhengde Dao chief of the "Shangqing Gate" were one of them. It's just that more than two hours after they left the village, they still didn't return to the manor, and there was no news of fireworks, so the real people of Baojing sent people to look for them, so they found the bodies of five people in this small valley.
