Zhan Ranming is sincere

Chapter 11 Dreaming of ancient volcanic rocks

When the sea is calm, it looks like a blue mirror, sparkling blue waves and dotted with golden light under the sunlight.

Fan Tongzi spent a lot of money to build a sturdy redwood boat, and hired two local boatmen, Cen Da and Cen Er, who are good at water, to help them prepare fresh water, food, fishing nets, tridents and other supplies for the sea.

To be on the safe side, Mo Mingwu specially made a hexagram before setting off to calculate the auspicious time and direction before calling the start.As indicated by the hexagram, the sky was cloudless, and the sea was as calm as if asleep.The Cen brothers are quite good at martial arts, and Mo Mingwu used the wind escape talisman and borrowed the west wind to travel thousands of miles a day on the sea with ease.

As the night fell, a bright moon rose above the sea, and the bright moonlight split a path of silver light on the sea, leading all the way to the junction of the sea and the sky, as if guiding them.

Mo Mingwu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon on the sea, hoping that the person far away in the sky would wake up soon to enjoy the moonlight.

Boy Fan lay on his side in the cabin, with his legs crossed, holding a pot of peach blossom wine in one hand, shaking his head and saying: "The bright moon sends lovesickness thousands of miles away, and I send my sorrowful heart and the bright moon. Let me see, you have passed among thousands of flowers, and a single leaf is not so beautiful. The romantic Mr. Mingwu finally fell under the peony flowers. You said that if the news spreads to the rivers and lakes, how many girls will be heartbroken, crying to death or hanging themselves..."

Mo Mingwu replied: "Are you bored? Drink your peach blossom wine! Don't get drunk and miss things. I can't forgive you."

Fan boy said with a smile: "You still don't believe my drinking capacity? I don't get drunk after a thousand cups!"

At this time, Yun Qingqing opened the cabin door inside, poked her head out and asked, "What are you talking about? I made fish soup, do you want to eat it?"

Boy Fan sat up and said, "Is there any grilled fish? I want something to eat."

Mo Mingwu walked into the cabin and said, "This is not an inn. Miss Yun kindly cooks for us. Don't you thank him for asking for this or that?"

Fan Boy hurriedly gave Yun Qingqing a smile and said: "It's still reasonable. Then drink the fish soup. Thank you!"

Yun Qingqing chuckled and said: "It's okay, we are all wandering in the rivers and lakes, just say what you have, don't be so polite. Brother Cen caught several fish today, and I'm going to roast two for everyone to drink."

A few people sat around the bow of the boat, drinking peach blossom wine, and eating delicious grilled fish, letting the boat drift with the tide, and they were leisurely and contented.After eating and drinking enough, they lay down in the cabin, the boat swayed, and several people fell asleep quickly.The Cen brothers took turns keeping vigil.

Near the third watch, Mo Mingwu suddenly opened his eyes, got up to check, and found that Cen Da was sleeping soundlessly on the deck during the night watch. He gently pushed Cen Da, but failed to wake him up.It was originally a clear and breezy humid night, but at this time there was fog on the sea, the sea was covered with fog, and the boat was blurred around.

Mo Mingwu tried to wake up Fan Tongzi and the others again. Except for Fan Tongzi who had deep inner strength, everyone else was affected by the sea fog and fell into a deep sleep.

Fan boy ran out of the cabin to have a look, surprised: "Is this sea fog? Is it poisonous?"

Mo Mingwu took out a few antidote pills and said, "You feed them all one, I think this fog is a bit strange."

Yun Qingqing became conscious soon after taking the detoxification pill, she supported her forehead and asked, "Why am I a little dazed?"

Boy Fan squatted next to her, and replied: "There is fog on the sea, it seems that it is not an ordinary fog, both you and Cen couldn't stand it and fainted. Now I wake up after taking the detoxification pill."

Mo Mingwu reminded: "I feel that the danger is approaching, everyone should be vigilant and stay away."

Fan Tongzi and Yun Qingqing looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay!"

They moved the Cen brothers into the cabin, and asked Yun Qingqing to sit at the door of the cabin and watch, and they stood at both ends of the boat to check.

A wave crest approached, and dozens of strange fish with a length of two feet, dark green back, bright red abdomen, protruding lower jaw and two rows of fangs lurks under the wave.The strange fish whipped up the waves by twisting its body, and jumped onto the boat on the waves.

"Here we come!" Mo Mingwu pulled out his black iron long sword and slashed at the strange fish.

"Ah, what is this thing! Damn!" Fan Tongzi didn't have a long weapon in his hand, so he could only rely on punches, wind blows and flying kicks. When he was free, he glanced at Mo Mingwu and asked him, "Mingming, didn't you say this Is it a good omen?"

Mo Mingwu: "Ding Qi's hexagram is an auspicious hexagram that sharpens his wisdom and solves problems smoothly!"

Yun Qingqing shouted loudly: "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Mo Mingwu and Fan Tongzi glanced into the cabin while dealing with the dense strange fish.

"This is a piranha! It eats human flesh!" Yun Qingqing shouted until her voice changed.

Mo Mingwu injected internal strength into the black iron long sword, so that the sword's energy surged, and he killed more than a dozen piranhas who jumped onto the boat one after another with a few swipes.He rushed into the cabin and saw a piranha was biting Yun Qingqing's ankle, and Yun Qingqing was busy dealing with the other three or four piranhas around her.He quickly swung his sword to kill those piranhas, and cut off the piranha biting Yun Qingqing's ankle, but the fish's mouth still tore off a piece of flesh, causing Yun Qingqing to yell in pain and almost fainted, her tears stopped. Can't live.

"Are you okay?" Mo Ming hurried up to help Yun Qingqing to sit her down, took out the golden sore medicine and sprinkled her to stop the bleeding.

"What's wrong?" Boy Fan also ran in.

"It's all resolved?" Mo Mingwu pulled out the gauze strips and bandaged Yun Qingqing's wound.

"Well, is Miss Yun okay? After all, it's a girl's house, so the pain of flesh and blood is... quite hard." Boy Fan said with a face full of pain.

"Look at her, I'll put an enchantment on the boat, there must be something else after the piranha."

"Ah? There's more? Oh..." Fan Tongzi complained with a bitter face, "I really don't like laborious work, vain, vain, why don't you come? So you can beat xuan, you must go out ah……"

Yun Qingqing resisted the pain and said: "I'm sorry, I'm the one who dragged you down. I was the one who boasted that I would help you. It's really cheeky..."

Boy Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, don't say that, I just like to talk nonsense, I think I'm like a gossip woman, I also recognize it. But that's because, you Central Plains people Talking is very interesting, and I like all kinds of imitations. Miss Yun, you are also unable to use your strength for a while because you accidentally inhaled the sea fog, otherwise you will definitely help us."

"Really? Thank you for comforting me. I must recover my strength as soon as possible, and I must not drag you down anymore." Yun Qingqing bit her lip and said.

Fan boy shook his head helplessly: "What a stubborn girl..."

After a while, the wooden boat began to collide and shake violently, shaking Cen Da Cen Er who was in a coma.

Fan boy rushed to the bow: "What's the matter? Hit the rocks?"

Mo Mingwu stabilized his figure, looked at him with a serious face and said, "This place is full of hidden reefs, and the surrounding area is getting hotter and hotter."

"Then what should I do? Are you going to turn around?"

"No, there may be an island ahead. You tell them to hold on and sit down, let Cen Da puncture the boat, and we stand on guard at each end."

"Okay!" Fan boy rushed into the cabin again and shouted: "Hold on and sit tight. The ship has hit a rock. There are many hidden rocks in this area, and the temperature is also rising. Mo Mingwu said that there may be islands ahead. Everyone is going to board the island. Cen You come here to punter and control the bow of the boat."

"Yes! Young Master!" Cen Da regained his strength, stepped onto the bow of the boat and propped up the boat with a penny, trying to keep the bow of the boat away from the hidden reef.

In less than a cup of tea, a glowing red island appeared in front of them, as if it was burning with fire. The island was surrounded by reefs in the sea, making it difficult for small boats to approach.

Cen Da stretched out his hand and pointed at the island in a daze and shouted, "It's the legendary ghost island! We've arrived at the ghost island!"

Mo Mingwu: "Is this a volcanic spirit island?"

Cen Da still looked like he was out of his body, and he managed to slow down before answering: "Yes, sir! This is a volcanic spirit island formed by the eruption of a submarine volcano. In the past hundred years, this island has disappeared and reappeared from time to time. It is mysterious and unfathomable. , so people call it 'ghost island'! I have sailed at sea for thirty years, and this is the first time I have encountered a ghost island at sea in my life!"

Fan Tongzi jumped out and said, "No wonder it became so hot all of a sudden! It's also the first time I've seen Volcanic Spirit Island, which is interesting! Let's go to the island to have a look, maybe there are some clues leading to Zuzhou."

Mo Mingwu said firmly: "Yes, you can't miss any clues. Now it's difficult for the ship to approach the main island. Cen Da, you park the ship in the shallows, and we will use Qinggong to fly to the island."

"Yes, sir!" Cen Da skillfully found a shoal with few reefs, docked the boat, and fixed the boat on the reef with a hemp rope.

"You wait here, Fan Tongzi and I will go and find out." Mo Mingwu raised his breath and flew across the sea to the ghost island.

Fan Tongzi also jumped up, stepped on the sea with both feet firmly, turned his body lightly, and landed on the ghost island.

The magmatic rock groups on Ghost Island are majestic and magnificent, the crater is unique in shape, and the sea-eroded lava is exquisite.If there were no heat waves blowing against our faces, this place would be a magical and beautiful spiritual island.Perhaps because of years of sea wind erosion, the soil on the island is barren, and only a few short grasses and shrubs grow.

The two walked around the island.The lava erupted by the submarine volcano piled up on one side and overflowed on the other side, so the volcanic island formed a conical terrain.Lava deposits form rugged hills.Seeing that the lava flow platform could not find the entrance, they climbed the ridge and walked to a higher place.Although the mountain was not flat, for the two of them, it was like walking on flat ground, and they went straight to the top in one go.

Standing on the peak and looking at the other side of the mountain, it is actually another scene.On the flat bottom of the valley, the trees are verdant, the mountains are covered with flowers and plants, and a small pea-shaped lake is steaming and smoky.There are intertwined volcanic alpine banyan trees in the valley, and some yellow-striped squirrels live on the trees, and some birds as big as eagles and with beaked bat wings are flying in the air.

Mo Mingwu: "I read in the classics that there will be fire partridges and fire foxes near the crater, but it doesn't seem to be the case."

Fan boy: "Didn't you say that this is the legendary ghost island? If no one has been there, how can it be recorded in the classics?"

Mo Mingwu said with a smile: "You are right. Let's go down and have a look."

"Okay!" Fan Tongzi leaned forward and rushed to the bottom of the valley, but the movement was so loud that the strange birds in the air were disturbed. The strange birds with their long beaks exposed hundreds of whisker-like teeth, squawking and swooping down to attack him. .

"Damn it! Help! Ming Wu!" Boy Fan ran around at a faster speed while avoiding the attack of the strange bird.

"You troublemaker!" Mo Mingwu lifted the black iron long sword and flew straight at the strange birds. The strange birds scattered and fled, and turned back to attack.He injected internal power into the blade of the black iron long sword, and the majestic sword energy of a swung sword shook away the strange birds. Many strange birds were injured and fell down, and the uninjured strange birds did not dare to approach again. He ran away with his tail between his legs.

Fan Tongzi had already rushed to the bottom of the valley in one breath. Seeing that Mo Mingwu had dealt with the strange birds for him, he sat down on the ground and panted, "I'm so unlucky! Even the birds are bullying me!"

Mo Mingwu walked forward slowly and said, "Aren't you good at manipulating birds? Where's your jade flute?"

Boy Fan punched his palm, and shouted: "That's right! I've forgotten my housekeeping skills! Isn't it true that as soon as you are by my side, I'm safe and free from justice! I'm too lazy to move my mouth and hands... But give it a try."

After finishing speaking, he took down the emerald green jade flute from his waist, and a brisk and melodious flute sounded, but the strange bird didn't move at all.After playing the song, it didn't work at all. He put away the jade flute and said, "Okay, I have proved that these strange things are not birds."

Suddenly a crisp cry sounded, and the little blue bird Zhaolan flew into the valley.

Both of them were pleasantly surprised, looked at each other and said in unison: "Falseness is here!"

As they expected, not long after the little blue bird Zhaolan entered the valley, Monk Xuxu followed behind and climbed over the mountain a few times before rushing to them.Monk Xuxu looked dusty, but his breathing was steady and his steps were steady. He clasped his hands together and bowed to the two of them, "Amitabha! You two have been waiting for a long time! The poor monk is late, please punish him."

Boy Fan stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's all right, I haven't tried too hard, so I forgive you."

Mo Mingwu asked anxiously: "Master Xuxu, I don't know how the medical sage is injured now?"

Monk Xuxu looked at him and replied: "Young Master Mingwu, you don't need to worry. The senior medical sage recovered very quickly. Most of the sword wounds have healed after the treatment in the holy spring of Lingquan. My Jingzen sect has a kind of cream that promotes muscle and removes stasis. There will be no scars after application. The merman poison is also temporarily controlled in a small area on the shoulder, and there will be no major problems except the pain."

"Does he know that I have come to Donghai?"

"Yes, the senior medical sage asked about this matter several times, and the poor monk would not lie. He bluntly told the news that Mr. Mingwu, the soul boy, and Miss Yun set off to the East China Sea to find the grass of immortality."

"Did he say anything?" Mo Mingwu looked expectant and anxious, secretly worried that Feng Lingze would scold him for being too impulsive.

Monk Xuxu took a deep look at Mo Mingwu, and replied: "The senior medical sage asked the poor monk to pass on a sentence to Mr. Mingwu: "If you want to hide, you must strengthen it; if you want to be weak, you must strengthen it; If you want to destroy it, you must strengthen it; if you want to take it away, you must firmly give it.'”

Mo Ming fell into deep thought without thanking him.

Fan Tongzi was at a loss and said: "What do you mean? It's so profound! Does he agree or not agree with Mingwu's coming to the East China Sea?"

Monk Xuxu didn't speak, Mo Mingwu raised his eyes and said: "He is reminding me that if the people behind the scenes want to weaken, abolish, and take me, they will first strengthen, prosper, and give me benefits. It seems that the last step is not enough. People not only won't kill me but also help me attain the Tao, so he doesn't worry about my safety and tells me to live in peace with the situation."

Fan Tongzi widened his peach blossom eyes and asked: "What? The people behind the scenes want you? Could it be that the descendants of the ghost have already taken a fancy to you?"

Mo Mingwu was amused by him: "You really think that I am full of peach blossom debts everywhere, but unfortunately it is not marriage, but my life."

Boy Fan was even more surprised: "It doesn't make sense. Although you have made many enemies in the rivers and lakes, you won't offend the descendants of the ghosts, right? Besides, what do you mean that the villain will help you achieve the Tao? The more you Doesn't it make it harder to kill the strong? It's so strange!"

Mo Mingwu frowned and said: "I haven't thought of the specific reason yet. Every step counts."

At this time, the pea-shaped lake in the center of the valley suddenly started bubbling loudly.

The three quickly gathered around the lake, ready to fight.

Several red snakes with a length of several feet crawled out of the steaming lake, the scales on their abdomen shrank and the snakes flew up, spitting out blood-red letters and rushing towards them.

Mo Mingwu swung his sword to slash the snake, Brahma Boy blocked it with a jade flute and shot it with Buddhist beads, and Monk Xuxu raised his vajra staff to chop off the flying snake.With the joint efforts of the three of them, more than a dozen red snakes were quickly killed by them.After the red snakes died, a group of alligator gars appeared in the lake!The alligator gar has the same short snout and dagger-like sharp fangs as a common crocodile. Its body is covered with diamond-shaped hard scales, like wearing a steel helmet and iron armor. The black iron long sword and vajra staff are blazing when they are chopped on!

Monk Xuxu saw that the vajra pestle could not pierce the armor of the giant crocodile, so he lifted the whole giant crocodile with one hand and threw it out.

Mo Mingwu used the Qimen Nine-Character Jue, said "The spiritual power of all things, let me contact you", formed the lion seal with both hands, blessed his body with the power of heaven and earth, raised the black iron long sword, and slashed at the giant in the lake with overwhelming momentum. Crocodile: "Cut!"

With one move, several giant crocodiles were chopped off, and the blood stained the blue lake water red.

The bloody smell quickly spread, and all the beak-billed bat-winged birds on the Volcanic Spirit Island were attracted to them. Some of them spread their wings and were nearly five feet long. The strange birds flew over the sky, covering a large area, and the number was quite astonishing. .

Fan boy yelled, "Damn it! Help! Help!"

Mo Mingwu kicked his ass: "Stop yelling! Find a place to hide!"

Fan boy was anxious like a headless fly, wandering around: "Where is the cave? Where is the cave?"

Seeing that there are more and more strange birds and they are getting closer to the lake, Mo Mingwu looked at Monk Xuxu and said, "I checked the bottom of the valley when I came in just now, and there are no caves to hide in. I think you can go to the bottom of the lake to have a look."

Monk Xuxu nodded and said: "What Mr. Ming Wu said is absolutely true!"

Mo Mingwu took the lead and jumped into the lake with his breath held. Monk Xuxu also grabbed Fan boy and jumped into the water.
