Shangbieyun took a deep breath, the sea breeze invaded his lungs with salty and damp breath, he held his breath, let this breath stay in his body for a little longer, and then took a long breath out.

Yao Ke seemed to be inadvertent, grabbed the mast of the ship, and secretly glanced at Shangbieyun. Seeing him breathing the sea breeze comfortably, he quickly imitated the example and took a big breath against the sea breeze with a face full of intoxication. It suddenly became a little weird, and he held back for a while, but he still couldn't hold back, rushed to Shangbieyun, grabbed the fence, and put his entire upper body on the outside of the boat, facing the indigo-colored and white waves, Big Tute vomited.

There was a soft "pop", the sound of the fence cracking slightly.Shang Bieyun murmured several times in his heart, "Forget it, it's his family's boat", covered his mouth and nose with his bulging veins, and asked through gritted teeth, "So, why did you follow? "

Yao Ke was seasick and the ground was as disheveled as he was. He wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and turned around with a disheveled face: "I, I thought maybe I could help a little."

Shang Beiyun stared at his cuffs, his eyes almost set the layer of fabric on fire, and subconsciously took two steps back: "It's not necessary, Master Ji is enough."

"He didn't come here to help, it's obvious that he was taking advantage of his brother's absence and no one can control him, so he took the time to make trouble."

The two turned their heads and saw Ji Chengfeng coming up from the bottom deck, eating half a watermelon, walked up to Yao Ke, and kicked him: "Be honest with me, if you get seasick, go and lie down obediently, and come up like others What kind of wind is blowing. If you are missing a catty, can your brother spare me?"

Yao Ke smiled weakly: "It's okay, I'll get used to it in two days. Every time my brother goes out, he won't come back for ten days and half a month. When the time comes, I'll just lose weight and eat it back."

"I still feel something is wrong. I borrowed the boat without telling your brother, will it be..." Shang Bieyun was a little awkward.

"It's okay. Uncle Fu nodded. You don't know. My brother usually appears and disappears. Uncle Fu is half of the person in charge. If he speaks, it's okay." Yao Ke slowed down and stared at Ji Chengfeng's hand. The watermelon, exuding a sweet and fruity aroma, swallowed: "But I don't know why he promised so readily. He is usually not so generous to me."

Shang Bieyun recalled, when he went to visit Wuzang Tower, he saw the old man with the appearance of a fat rich man.

Going to Wuzanglou, he had many thoughts in his heart.Curiosity about the young owner of the No. [-] Floor in the World, his attitude towards himself who is throwing out the longevity chip, and whether the mysterious place on Confucian Island will touch any core secrets, and so on.

Unexpectedly, this trip was completely in vain.The owner of Wuzang Building, Yun Yin, was not stationed there. He only saw a person called Fu Bo by Yao Ke. Seeing Yao Ke and Ji Chengfeng visiting with Shang Bieyun, he paid great attention to it. Yao Ke cautiously offered to borrow a delivery ticket. When the boat went to Confucian Island to have a look, he just pondered for a while, and agreed without even asking the reason in detail.

"According to the requirements of the above, we usually deliver tribute, and sometimes we also bring a copy to Confucian Island, but there are no other intersections. It just so happens that there is also a shipment to be sent to the island recently. If you don't mind, you can Accompanying. But after all, it is where Tongshang is located, although there are no obvious rules, but everyone should be cautious, and don't have any collisions, that would be bad." The old man smiled very kindly.

Shang Bieyun remembered that he seemed to be the fat old man Cong Yin had seen when he came to deliver the post, and he had once given himself a table of noodles from Wanghu Tower.I didn't expect to be someone with such a high status in Wuzanglou.

"Uncle Fu is relieved only when he knows that I'm with you. Tighten your skin a bit and don't make trouble, or it won't work if you have me with you next time." Ji Chengfeng broke the melon in half and threw it into Yao Ke's hands.

"Master Shang, I know you think it's dirty, so I won't share it with you." Ji Chengfeng took a big mouthful of watermelon and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Shang Bieyun frowned and walked a little further away from the two of them. A boatman happened to be passing by. Shang Bieyun hurriedly stopped him: "Excuse me, we have been out at sea for six days, how long will it take to arrive?"

There has never been a nobleman on board, and the boatman seldom answered, he was a little nervous: "Back, Mr., there is no downstream in this season, and the wind is not good this trip, and we don't know how many days it will take. But it should be Hurry up, that island is not far away, this time is already the slowest one.”

Shangbieyun frowned, and wanted to ask something, when suddenly there was a scream above his head, Shangbieyun looked up, and Liaofu, who was on duty on the mast watchtower, stood up, climbed the top of the mast, waved his hands flag, and a high-pitched but meaningless whistling sound came from its mouth.

The boatman looked happy, turned his head and was about to run, Shang Bieyun hurriedly called out: "What's wrong?!"

"Oh, my lord, we've seen the shore, here we are!" The boatman hurriedly turned his head and bowed to Shangbieyun, and after finishing his reply, he ran away excitedly to help.

Shangbieyun turned around and supported the fence, looking forward, the vast sea area and the dark sky, wrapped in thick sea fog like glued paper, were pouring towards the small boat.There were people like ants running around in a hurry on the boat, Shangbieyun straightened his spine under the pressure of the sea and sky, and saw a corner of the blue rock in the distance, poking out a head from the sea mist.

When it was docked, it was not yet full light, Hui Niang was still asleep, but was awakened by the movement of the boatmen, she rubbed her eyes, and walked up from the bottom cabin holding Miaomiao's hand.

The men stood shoulder to shoulder on the deck, looking out to sea level.Hui Niang walked up to them and looked in the direction they were looking: "What are you looking at?"

Li Dongyuan patted the fence and let out a long breath: "The boat is about to dock."

Zhan Ming fiddled with the prayer beads in his hand, and smiled softly: "I didn't expect that our group would also take a boat."

"I don't know when will be the next time I come to sea again." Shang Bieyun turned around and rubbed Hui Niang's shoulders: "Let's go, they are laying the planks of the boat, get off the boat."

According to the boatman, there is only this shallow bay pier on the entire island where boats can dock, but it is different from what Shang Bieyun thought, this only pier does not have any decorations, let alone any messengers waiting here .

"Isn't it related to the royal family? Is it appropriate to be so simple?" He stepped on the thin white sand, grabbed Yao Ke and asked.

"I don't know. It's the first time I've come back, so I'll ask someone to ask." Yao Ke grabbed a boatman who was carrying the cargo under the boat: "Where is this cargo sent to? Is there no one to pick it up?"

This boatman is a bit experienced, obviously not the first time, he put the cargo box on the ground, saluted, and pointed to a bamboo shed not far away: "Back to the words of the young master, I have never seen a boat on this island. People. We followed the instructions, and every time we put the goods in the bamboo shed, we went straight away."

"Not handing it over to others?" Ji Chengfeng was very surprised when he heard the words: "This is a precious treasure, don't you need to count the number and check it carefully? When will someone come and take it away? If the tribute is broken or rotten, who cares?" of?"

The boatman shook his head: "We will follow the instructions from above."

Ji Chengfeng and Shang Bieyun exchanged glances, pointing at Yao Ke: "Does he count as the top?"

The boatman hurriedly saluted again: "Of course the young master will count."

"Then this time, the superior said that the island should be searched, or that the ship cannot return to the voyage for those who come to pick up the goods, so you can go and order." Ji Chengfeng waved his hand, without turning his head, he walked towards the depths of the island. Go, Yao Ke and Shang Bieyun and his party followed closely behind.

The boatman showed a bit of embarrassment, but there was nothing he could do, so he bowed his head and said yes. When he bowed his head, all the expressions on his face disappeared, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, which no one saw.

Ji Chengfeng walked into the bamboo shed first, and poked around with the handle of his knife: "This hellish place is really evil."

Shang Bieyun followed closely behind him, knowing that he was speaking to himself, he was noncommittal and swept around the bamboo shed.It is very simple here, except for a shed with only a long table for placing cargo boxes, there is nothing else, and you can see the end at a glance.Shang Bieyun didn't expect to find any clues from here, so he turned around and told Zhan Ming and the others: "Let's go out and walk around the island first, let's see..."

There was nothing behind him, no one there.From the boat to the bamboo shed, there were two rows of footprints on the white sand, which belonged to him and Ji Chengfeng.

Shangbieyun frowned and looked in the direction of the boat.Not only Zhan Ming and others, but also the boatman who answered them disappeared.There used to be more than a dozen boatmen on the ship, moving the cargo back and forth on the deck, but they couldn't be seen at this time.That ship = stranded on the shore, quietly like a ghost.

Shang Bieyun turned his head slowly, and Ji Chengfeng was still facing away from him, holding up the knife, using the handle of the knife to poke the linseed leaves on the roof of the bamboo shed, muttering.

"Ji Chengfeng?" Shang Bieyun tentatively called him.

"What are you doing?" Ji Chengfeng turned around and was taken aback, "Damn, where are you?"

Shang Bieyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, something is wrong."

"I know it's wrong! Damn what's going on, where are they? Where's Yao Ke? No..."

"Sir..." A voice interrupted Ji Chengfeng, softly, but it sounded like thunder to Shang Bieyun's ears.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the direction where the sound came from. Under the shadow of the woods not far away, a blood-stained hand was holding onto the tree trunk, and Cheng Jiao's face appeared from behind: "Sir... He yelled again, couldn't hold on anymore, and fell to the ground.

Shang Bieyun and Ji Chengfeng rushed forward without the slightest hesitation.Shang Bieyun lifted Cheng Jiao's head and leaned into his arms.

Cheng Jiao stretched out his hand, grabbed Shangbieyun's collar, pulled him, and tried to pull his ear to his face.Shang Bieyun bent down, put his ear to his lips, and heard his weak voice: "Cong Yin... save... Cong Yin..."

Ji Chengfeng couldn't hear clearly, and stood aside anxiously, circling in a hurry: "How is it? What did he say? Hey, why are you hurt so badly, can you survive? Why..."

With a sound of "Zheng", Ji Chengfeng's voice stopped abruptly.Cheng Jiao covered his neck with both hands, and the blood gushed out crazily. He looked at Shang Bieyun, and his eyes were full of betrayal in disbelief.

Shangbieyun dropped him, took the phosphorescence back into the sheath, and watched him struggle until he died.

"This... Could it be..." Ji Chengfeng looked at the corpse on the ground, and then at Shang Bieyun, stuttering.

"It's not Cheng Jiao." Shang Bieyun took out a handkerchief and wiped the skirt of his clothes: "My Cheng Jiao won't grab my skirt with bloody hands. We are delusional."

The author has something to say: Jiaojiao is here! (although it's fake)
