Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 236: Seven Star Island
Lin Yi's existence not only allowed the two enemy sects to live in harmony, but also affected another person's thoughts.
Hong'an would also think of Lin Yilai from time to time, but he felt more and more regretful. Nowadays, Lin Yi is no longer the same brother Lin. As a prince, he seems to be unable to get what he wants. [Search for the latest updates at.; Being in the same boat, it is so difficult to get close to Lin Yiduo. Hong An gradually felt that Lin Yi was getting farther and farther away from him, too far away to be close to him, and that the immortal's status was getting higher and higher, so high that even a prince like him wanted to look up to him.
In this way, why doesn't Hongan regret it? If he takes the opportunity to make friends with Lin Yi when he is rescued in the capital, shows his sincerity, and goes along with him, he may not be able to become friends or even brothers with him. If this is the case, why should I be afraid of the imperial brother anymore? I only blame my poor eyesight. If I hadn't regarded him as an ordinary warrior when I first met him on the ship, it might have been a different situation!
Hongan feels sorry for himself! God is unfair to me. Since he has given me the status of a royal nobleman, why does he have to go through all the hardships?
If you want to get closer to the Tianlong Sect, the other party will only be polite and considerate, but it will only stop at being polite. It was as if he, the prince, had turned into a promiscuous woman, and could never get the other party's true feelings.
All this was not the fault of his imperial brother, who insisted on killing the other party's people, which made these Jianghu people increasingly wary of the imperial court, and created a gap with him, Hong'an. In the end, no one else suffered but himself. !
Hong'an, who was complaining about his fate, walked out of the room and saw Mu Qing'er sisters walking towards the balcony. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and held the beaded crown on his armrest. Then he took out the folding fan in his hand and greeted her with an elegant smile. Go up.
"Miss Mu, how is my joining the Tianlong Sect?"
Mu Qing'er was about to go upstairs with Xu Zixuan on her arm. When she saw it was Hong An, she laughed out loud: "You are taking it seriously! What a prince can do badly, if you have to be a charlatan, you are not afraid of provoking criticism from the government and the public. ?”
Hong An opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it a few times. He felt that the sea breeze on the boat was strong enough, so he put it away again. With a straight face, he said: "Is there anything wrong with Jianghu people? They are chivalrous and righteous, and they are willing to be kind." Qiu, indulge yourself in the world! Don't you know how heroic the children of the world are? I have been longing for Hong'an for a long time!
Looking at Hong An's serious look, Mu Qing'er still smiled and said: "Don't tell me that you have a noble status as a prince, but you look like a weak scholar, and you are not an embryo walking in the world. Okay, can't you leave? It’s not up to me to decide whether to go into the world or not. If you have a chance in the future, you should ask Elder Meng for help. Maybe he would be willing to take on the prince’s apprenticeship! At least you won’t have to worry about not having enough money to drink!”
When Hong An heard this, he looked like he had realized something. He knocked the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "One word will wake up the dreamer, haha! Miss Mu, please go to the balcony, please!"
It is now the middle of October, and in Jiulong Mountain, located in the northern border of Dashang, perhaps the first winter snow has already fallen. At this time, the sea water was as clear as blue, and there was no chill in the cool sea breeze. Perhaps because of the southward journey, no one on the ship felt the coming of winter. Even though they were still wearing spring and summer clothes, no one felt uncomfortable.
Under a scorching sun, the blue waves are vast, and fish jump out of the water from time to time, causing a roll of waves and then disappearing suddenly. The ship swayed slightly with the waves, dragging along the sea surface following the path of the wind.
A group of seabirds flew over the bow of the ship, flying towards an island where a shadow appeared in the distance.
There was no shouting on the ship, just like the calmness of sailing in the past. It's been a long time since we've docked, but people haven't forgotten their longing for land. The desire to be down to earth after docking is still strong. It’s just that the non-stop running on the sea in these three months has made people numb to the expectation of land. Of course, there is also some inexplicable uneasiness!
The ship still docked.
This is an archipelago, and ships anchor at an island with a pier.
There are a dozen or twenty fishing boats of various sizes slanting across the shore. A small fishing village is hidden in the shadow of tall and lush trees, and the smoke is faint.
Looking along the end of the white beach, the sea air is steaming, and the islands scattered far and near are like black clouds and smoke, like a mirage on the sea.
Everyone on the boat stepped onto the trestle at the pier. The old wooden boards on the bridge creaked, causing the younger disciples to step on it a few times and shake their heads to make sure that they were standing firmly and not shaking. Smiling silly. The older and more stable disciples looked back and sighed. Although I still have the illusion of being on a rocking ship on the sea, the feeling of being rooted under my feet is so good!
Elder Jiang led Meng Shan and others to the beach, found the elders in the fishing village, and presented them with cloth and ironware brought by the merchants as a sign of goodwill!
Due to courtesy and the honest customs of the fishing villagers, the disciples on the ship were also entertained and gained a rough understanding of this archipelago.
The island in front of us, which is one to twenty miles in size, is the largest among the archipelago, and it is also the one with the largest number of fishermen. The remaining islands are several or more than ten miles apart from each other, and there are also some small and large fishing villages scattered on them. The fishermen in these fishing villages mainly make a living by fishing, and occasionally farming, but they are also self-sufficient.
This island, which seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle, is quiet and peaceful, and is called "Seven Star Island". The largest island where the ship docks is called 'Wolf Island' by the people on the island.
Everyone was surprised when they first heard about it. There were no wolves on the island, and the shape of the island did not look like that beast. So some people speculated that this might be the reason why the Seven Stars' Tianshu was also called the Greedy Wolf. I don’t know how many years passed, but the people on the island only remembered the word "wolf" in the name of the island, and it became today's Wolf Island.
No one cares about the origin of this island's name. No one cares whether the islands are arranged in a seven-star shape or not. Everyone flocked to the island, just wanting to have a good time at the Tooth Fair, find a soft beach, have a solid sleep, and have a dream without bumps!
A few people were left on the ship to guard the ship, and the rest landed on Wolf Island. Even Elder Jiang was invited to the fishing village as a guest.
This is an ideal resting place. When people go ashore, they inevitably have to wash up and rest, and also buy or replace some necessary things for sailing.
For a while, no one wanted to leave this place, so Elder Jiang, Meng Shan and others agreed to rest here for three days.
…
Early the next morning, two brothers Yuan Qing walked out of a thatched house. Each of them held a big fruit in their hands and drank the juice happily.
"This juice is really delicious!" Yuan Qing shook his head and praised.
Yuanfeng chuckled and said, "The locals call this coconut fruit. It's best to take some with you when you leave. I've had enough of the rainwater on the boat!"
Yuan Qing drank the juice in one go, then threw down the fruit shell without finishing it, patted his belly, nodded happily and said: "Junior brother is right, the fresh water on the ship is exhausted, and in the end we can only collect rainwater, how can it be compared to This sweet and smooth juice is delicious! Come on, let’s take a walk around and see if there’s anything else delicious!”
Zhen Yuanzi was invited by Elder Meng, and the Yuan Qing brothers immediately felt that the world was vast, and their playful and active temperaments also showed their tails. The two of them ran around the island happily. After having enough fun, they stuffed their stomachs with delicious fruits. After seeing that it was getting late, they walked back with satisfaction.
After crossing a path and climbing over a hillside, the two brothers were about to reach the beach where the fishing village was located in front of them, but they saw a small boat parked on the beach, and some Tianlong Sect disciples were happily getting on the boat.
The two brothers were curious and walked over. They saw that two elder disciples, Yu Zixian and Luo Rong, had arrived on the boat with several junior disciples. Yuan Qing asked loudly with a smile: "Where are these senior brothers going?"
Yu Zixian was fiddling with the oars with excitement on his face. When he heard Yuan Qing's question, he smiled and said, "You and I are going to stay here for three days. We want to go visit the nearby islands. What are you two senior brothers going to do? Are you going back? Why don’t you go see something new together?”
"Haha, my two brothers are feeling bored, so let's take advantage of Senior Brother Yu and other senior brothers!" Yuan Qing lifted up his robe and was about to get on the boat. Yuan Feng said with some hesitation: "Senior brother, this matter was not reported to Master! Aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"
When Yuan Qing heard what Yuan Feng said, he stopped and smiled guiltily: "Master was called to have a drink by Elder Meng, why bother bothering him!"
Yu Zi first smiled and said: "Two senior brothers are too careful. Elder Meng has already told you, just don't leave Qixing Island. Besides, we are not running around secretly. Didn't you see the boatman? He is a local." ." As he spoke, he pulled a strong young man in front of the boat to his side.
The young man was not tall, he looked to be in his twenties or thirties, he was very strong, his face was rusty, and his expression was kind. When he saw the two young Taoist priests arriving, he just smiled innocently.
"Haha, can I still not trust Senior Brother Yu? Come on, come on, there will be more people coming soon, and the boat can't carry it." Yuan Qing jumped onto the boat. Yuan Feng behind him saw that the boat was about to leave, and he hurriedly followed. passed.
When the boatman saw that everyone was on board, he rocked the oars. Yu Zixian and Luo Rong also took up the oars on the boat as if they were having fun. The boat rowed very fast, heading towards the island not far to the west——
The scenery on each island is really different. Some islands have rugged rocks, some islands are full of strange flowers, some islands are covered with fruit trees, and some islands are completely covered with white sand, with no visible flowers. A large reef.
This archipelago is not only composed of seven islands. There are no less than dozens of small islands of various sizes on the sea within a radius of dozens of miles. The big one is like Wolf Island, the small one is no more than a few miles away, and no one can live on it at all. The dozen or so inhabited islands have become the main places for Tianlong Sect disciples to visit.
If someone takes the lead, there will be followers behind. At the end of the day, most of the young disciples on Wolf Island ran out. Mengshan was a little worried at first. He heard from people in the fishing village that this area of the sea was not dangerous during the day. He also thought that these young people had been bored on the boat for a long time and it was time to relax. So he commented on the behavior of his disciples. Just let it be.
