Chapter 310: No One Ever Before

The three masters all agreed, and the others naturally had no objections, even the arrogant "Huashan Faction" elder Yu Jun did not say anything against it.

Master Yuanguang glanced at the real person of the Treasure Realm who was sitting on the side, and then at Tang Zilan who was standing in front of the table, and said, "Since everyone has agreed to form an alliance, who will be in charge, what are the proposals?"

The people in this hall, including Nangong Qi and Hua Bushi, are all unique figures in their respective sects, and when it comes to the ability to plan and handle affairs, they are actually not lacking. However, if you want to dominate the more than 200 masters of the fifty-five sects on the island, you must have a very high prestige, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people.

The real person of Baojing pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Yuanguang Dao, you and I are both monks, and it is inconvenient to lead the various factions, in the opinion of the poor Dao, it is better to let the Tang Sect Master be the person in charge of our alliance, what does the master think?"

"Shaolin" is the head of the world's sects, and the "Wudang faction" is the Taoist authenticity supported by the imperial court, which is not far behind compared with "Shaolin". When it comes to the prestige of the sect, in fact, Shaolin Wudang is slightly better than the "Shuzhong Tang Sect".

However, Baojing Zhenren elected Tang Zilan as the main person, but he also had his own considerations, and the so-called "it is inconvenient for the monks to lead the group of heroes" is just a superficial statement.

The reason for this is, first of all, among the tripartite alliances that were originally separated from the "Seven Great Sects", the "Shaolin" and "Wudang" veins are of equal strength, and there are many disagreements between these two sects.

The second is that in the alliance of the "Shuzhong Tang Sect", most of them are sects in the three realms of southwest Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, these sects are located in remote areas, and most of the masters under the sect act perversely, and they are quite strong, and they will not easily obey others.

In this way, if Master Yuanguang or Baojing Zhenren becomes the master, he will definitely be resisted by more than half of the other two alliances, and it will be difficult to work together, even if it will not be manifested on the surface for a while, once it encounters a critical situation, it will inevitably lead to civil strife when the interests of each faction are involved. On the contrary, if Tang Zilan was in charge, the various factions in the southwest would be happy, and the other two-party alliances would not be too disgusted.

This is the truth of the so-called "golden mean", and only Tang Zilan is the most suitable person for the principal.

And this truth is not only imaginable by the real people of the Treasure Realm, but in fact, Master Yuanguang and everyone in the hall understand it very well.

If in normal times, even if Baojing Zhenren and Master Yuanguang knew about this section, for the sake of the interests of their own sects, they would rather separate and resist each other, and would never let the position of the principal fall into the hands of others, but now the situation is sinister, and in order to save everyone's lives, they must work together, so they can only put aside the views of the sect for the time being.

This is the reason why the real person of Baojing recommended Tang Zilan.

Master Yuanguang said: "Good, good, the Taoist is reasonable, Tang Tanyue is indeed the best choice for the person in charge here." ”

Tang Zilan saw that Master Yuanguang and the real people of the Treasure Realm had promoted him, and his eyes swept around the other people in the hall before he said: "Well, since you all trust him, Tang will reluctantly make it difficult and take on the main task, before we can get out of trouble from this island, I just hope that everyone can follow Tang's instructions." ”

Baojing Zhenren: "Tang Sect Lord, please rest assured, on this island, we must focus on the overall situation, if someone disobeys the Tang Sect Lord's orders, this real person will not spare him first!"

Master Yuanguang Heshi said: "Amitabha, the poor monk can also assure Tang Tanyue that the people of all factions in the Shaolin lineage will definitely take Tanyue as the leader." ”

The leaders of the two major sects have expressed their attitudes, Nangong Qi's six faction alliance is weak, of course, there will be no opinions, Tang Zilan, the temporary alliance leader, can be regarded as sitting firmly.

Being the head of the alliance of the fifty-five famous white dao sects in the realm of the Ming Dynasty is a very beautiful thing. In fact, in the past hundred and ten years, there has never been an alliance of so many Baidao sects on the rivers and lakes, and although this alliance leader may not be a newcomer, at least it can be regarded as unprecedented.

It's a pity that the power of this alliance leader is limited to this isolated island, and once everyone gets out of trouble, the alliance will immediately cease to exist.

And Tang Zilan became the temporary leader of the alliance, and he had to find a way to get everyone out of trouble, which was really an extremely difficult task, so this position of the main person was not only not happy, but made Tang Zilan helpless.

He sat down on the chair at the table, and looked around at everyone, but he saw that everyone in the hall was also frowning. Although these people are all ** lakes with a lot of experience, they are trapped on this isolated island and can't get out, and they don't even know if they can save their lives.

However, when Tang Zilan's gaze swept to Hua Bushi, who was sitting in the corner, he saw the eldest young master's calm and relaxed expression, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not worried about the predicament he was facing in front of him, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.

Earlier in the Tingtao Pavilion, Hua Bushi first exposed Lu Qiuhong's trick of plotting with a sandalwood box, and then removed the smoke poison inhaled by Tang Zilan, and the strategy of finding Lei Zhentian to blow up the wall with a "thunderbolt firebomb" was also developed by him. Although this "evil dog boy" does not know martial arts, Tang Zilan already knows that he is resourceful.

Therefore, this time the heads of all parties gathered to discuss the matter, and Tang Zilan pulled him in as well. And now this Young Master Hua's leisurely demeanor made Tang Zilan suddenly feel unfathomable.

Could it be that he has already thought of a way to escape?

Tang Zilan coughed lightly and said, "I want to escape from this island, only by working together can we have a chance, Young Master Hua, do you already have a good plan in your heart?"

Tang Zilan's question, and the eyes of everyone in the room focused on this young master.

Earlier out of Tingtao Pavilion, Hua Bushi immediately asked Meng Huan and Zhu Hong to investigate around, there was no well in the "Wanyi Manor", and the news that all drinking water had been destroyed, Hua Bushi knew earlier than Tang Zilan, and he immediately realized that this was a trapping plan set up by Lu Qiuhong.

The island does not feed horses, and most of the plants you see when you first come ashore are shrubs and a few low trees, and Hua Bushi is well versed in all kinds of botanicals, and knows that those plants and trees are saltwater plants, and according to these signs, it is speculated that there is probably no fresh water source on this island.

Of course, Hua Bushi had thought about the methods of burning smoke for help and building a boat to escape, but as Tang Zilan said, although these methods were good, they would not work at all in just a few days.

He also felt that he had no good solution for a while, and he was worried, so he asked the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" to discuss together. And to the great young master's surprise, Peng San, who was good at ocean navigation, immediately said an idea.

Peng San's idea Hua Bushi thought it was quite feasible, but it required a lot of manpower, and it was necessary for everyone from all sects on the island to work together. Just as Hua Bushi was thinking about how to realize this section, Tang Zilan sent someone to come and ask him to attend the meeting of the heads of all parties.

At the meeting, everyone formed a temporary alliance, and Tang Zilan became the principal, which just met the necessary conditions for Peng San's escape strategy. It was Hua Bushi who deliberately showed a different leisurely demeanor, and sure enough, he was immediately noticed by Tang Zilan, and asked him about his strategy.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Young Master Hua smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Ben's plan is actually very simple, if we have a boat, we can escape by boat." ”

Before Tang Zilan could answer, Weng Yibai had already preemptively reprimanded: "If there is a boat, you can escape, where do you need to talk about this! Then the land island lord has already taken away all the ships on the dock, even if you want to build it now, it will be too late in time, where do you get a ship?"

Hua Bushi said leisurely: "Although all the boats on the dock have sailed away, there is still a boat on this island, haven't you all seen it?"

Tang Zilan's expression moved, and he said, "What Young Master Hua said, could it be the 'treasure ship' at the gate of this manor, on the hill?"

Hua Bushi said: "Sure enough, the Tang Sect Master is smart, and this is what Young Master Ben is talking about." ”

Tang Zilan frowned and said: "That 'treasure ship', everyone has already seen it, but it is a few miles away from the manor to the coast, and that 'treasure ship' is so huge, with our strength, it is impossible to transport it to the sea." ”

At that time, Zheng He, the "eunuch of the three guarantees", went to the Western Ocean seven times, and the "treasure ship" was the flagship of his "invincible fleet" and the largest ship in the world.

The "treasure ship" on the mountain outside the "Wanyi Manor" is as long as 40 zhang away, nearly 20 zhang wide, the height of the deck is more than 8 zhang, and even the rudder blade at the stern is two zhang high.

Although there are now more than 200 masters of various factions on the island, it is difficult to move that "treasure ship" with these manpower alone, and it is impossible to transport it to the sea several miles away.

Therefore, Lu Qiuhong left the "treasure ship" very generously, without worrying that Qunhao would use it to escape.

Hua Bushi said unhurriedly: "With our strength, we can't move that huge ship, but if we have the help of the sea, we won't have no chance." ”

Tang Zilan said: "Where did the help of the sea that Young Master Hua said come from?"

Hua Bushi said: "When I say the help of the sea, I am referring to the storms and tides on the sea. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "There is a Peng Sanye who came to this island with Young Master Ben, who is the best at ocean navigation, and he said that by the evening of the day after tomorrow at the latest, there will be a huge storm coming, and when the tide rises, it will be flooded outside this manor, and we only need to repair the huge ship in these two days, and then push it into the sea, and then we can sail away and get out of trouble." ”
