Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Master Bao opened a book, which looked very elegant.

It was also the first time Gongsun saw it, so he asked curiously what book it was.Master Bao said that this book was taken out of Chuntang Pavilion, and it was one of a set of travel notes.

The person who wrote this book is called Wang Yunye, and he calls himself a traveler, but in fact it means that he spends all day idle around the mountains and rivers. Regardless of his casualness, he is also one of the great writers.This person is keen on collecting folk legends and strange experiences, and records everything he hears and sees into a book.He traveled all over the country all his life, and he came to teach in Taixue when he was old. He happened to be one of Bao Zheng's wives.The old man told Bao Zheng at that time that he had done some research on this, and if he encountered strange people or things in the future, he might as well read through the volumes of travel notes he kept in Chuntang Pavilion.

Master Bao opened the booklet and showed it to Gongsun, and said, "Master Wang's article recorded a rumor about the 'Eight Tribes Islands' that he heard from some old fishermen at the seaside."

"The Eight Clans Islands?" Zhao Pu frowned, not having heard of it.

It was Gongsun who raised his head suddenly, "Huh? In the manuscripts of Master Wenkong that Yin Hou took out from the other courtyard of Nan'an Temple earlier, there are also mentions of islands and the like, which are very similar to the description here."

"Oh?" Master Bao was surprised.

Gongsun asked Bao Yan to bring those manuscripts.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu made a trip to bring over the manuscripts.

"Master Wenkong followed those Jianghu people back then." Gongsun said, "He secretly eavesdropped on their conversations, roughly as follows..."

"It's been said that they are all dead, so how could there be any survivors?"

"But there are eight islands, we only went to three, and the origin of those people on Ehu Island is unknown."

"Hey, haven't you seen those bones on the island?"

"Those three are, so are the other five?"

"Why do you care so much?"

"Our task is to confirm whether there are any survivors."

"That's right, it's fine if you don't live. Don't ask too many questions."

"This kind of thing, the more you know, the faster you die!"

Zhao Pu frowned slightly, "Eight islands..."

"Then Master Wang mentioned in his travel notes that he chatted with some old fishermen and said that there were thieves at sea. They have their own characteristics, some are huge in size, some are very watery and slippery like fishes, and some are ferocious in appearance and amazing in strength." Master Bao said, "In fact, these people are not from the Central Plains, they live in the far sea. There are a total of eight islands on several islands, known as the Eight Clans Islands. It is said that there is a clan living on each island, and they are all descendants of the Sea God.”

Everyone couldn't help but glanced at each other when they heard this - it appeared!Poseidon!

"Master Wang has recorded the rumors of these islands in detail. Among them is Bolumen Island. The residents on it are called the Bolumen tribe. They are huge in size, silly in character, and infinite in strength." Master Bao said, "Then There is a mountain gate on the island, which is in the shape of a white deer, so it is also called White Deer Island, and later it was passed around, and it became the Bolu Gate."

"The body is huge, silly and powerful...It fits well with Wusu." Zhao Pu nodded, "No wonder there is a sense of isolation from the world. It turns out that he really lives on a small island."

"Does Mr. Gongsun know about the Bolumen clan?" Mr. Bao asked Gongsun curiously.

Gongsun nodded and said, "I read about it from Master's medical skills. Master's medical skill book recorded the influence of body size on the body. It mentioned that the person with the largest body size should be from the Bolumen family. They were born in the sea. The fish maintain their lives, and their bones are thick and heavy. The reason for their body shape is related to the food they eat. They should have been eating a deep-sea fish for a long time, called Boban, also known as blind fish. This fish is smooth all over, There are horns on the head, gray spots on a white background, and a deer-like face, but no eyes."

"No eyes?" Zhao Pu was surprised.

"There are only eye sockets but no eyes, probably because we live in the dark and deep sea all year round." Gongsun said, "This kind of fish is very fat. If you eat too much, you will get fat and your bones will become thicker... This kind of fish is naturally It is a kind of medicinal material, which has a miraculous effect on symptoms such as loose bones and easy fractures. It is also very suitable for the elderly to eat. A small amount is very beneficial. However, this kind of fish is almost impossible to catch, and only the people of the Bolumen tribe can catch it. The Lumen tribe is extinct."

Speaking of this, Gongsun looked regretful and said to himself, "It would be great if I could get Bo grouper! I regret it forever."

Everyone looked at him, Zhao Pu couldn't help but said, "You're not Zhan Zhao, why are you so obsessed with a fish?"

Gongsun glanced at Zhao Pu, then looked down at his body, and sighed.

Little Sizi got in at some point, and while peeling the oranges, he listened to the conversation. At this moment, he interjected, "Daddy is still thinking about that fish? Little Sizi really wants to eat it too. If he eats it, he will turn into a thick-backed fish." Ideal body!"

Everyone couldn't help but looked at the figures of Gongsun and Grandpa, and imagined what would happen after they were combined with the word "big back and bear waist"... they felt funny for no reason.

Zhao Pu was also a little angry, and lowered his voice and said to Gongsun, "Pull you down, eating any fish is useless! Zhan Zhao has been eating fish for so many years and still looks like a cat! You can't become fat if you eat fish!"

Gongsun gave Zhao Pu a sideways look, but the fourth son stroked his chin and thought about it seriously—Yes!I still need to eat more meat...

"Ah..."

Zhan Zhao, who was on his way, suddenly sneezed.

Bai Yutang sat on Yaoyao's back and asked him, "Is it cold?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose, it was dark now, Yaoyao was flying high and fast, it was indeed windy, but with this little internal strength he was naturally not afraid of the cold.

"Yaoyao, the speed of traveling is not at the same level as riding a horse!" Tianzun stood in front, looking at the night scene on the ground amidst the clouds and mist.

Logically speaking, although Yaoyao is huge, it is difficult to fly with three people on its back.But Zhan Zhao and others are good at lightness kung fu, they used their internal strength to lift it up, and then borrowed a little bit of strength, so they didn't add too much burden to it, and it flew about the same as usual.It wasn't until Yaoyao flew at full speed that everyone realized how fast it was. According to this posture, it will definitely arrive at Chuzhou Mansion before dawn!

The Bianjiang River winds forward like a jade belt, and because of the moonlight, it is more obvious at night, and there is nothing wrong with flying along the river.

It was the first time for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to look at rivers and lakes from such a high place, and they were inexplicably shocked.

The mountains on both sides of the river are not high, the villages are everywhere, and there are little lights in the towns, which is peaceful and peaceful.The official road along the Bianhe River is quite frequent. Looking at it like this, there is an inexplicable feeling that the weather is good and the country is good.

Tianzun was fascinated, and said to himself, "100 years ago, there was a lot of chaos."

Zhan Zhao approached Tianzun and asked him, "Tianzun, you have seen so many emperors, which one do you think is the best?"

Tianzun smiled, reached out and patted Zhan Zhao's head, "What kind of emperor is a good emperor?"

Zhan Zhao looks at Tianzun.

Tianzun squinted his eyes and said, "The demon king said, who, if he lives to be 80 years old, after subtracting the first 20 years of being young and not changing, and the latter 20 years of being foolish, minus ten years of occasional stupidity, he can keep his mind clear and do nothing wrong for 30 years." The decision is very good, so the one who can guarantee the peace of the world for 30 years is a good emperor. If the local prosperity and prosperity can be achieved, then he is considered a wise emperor. Don’t expect too much in terms of character. Powerful men are scumbags Much more than a saint."

"Pfft." Zhan Zhao was amused by Tianzun, or rather by the Demon King.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and Zhan Zhao standing side by side, chatting about the Demon King with a smile, and his heart was as happy as the night wind in the sky.

……

Putting Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others on their way comfortably, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion has become a bookworm. After carefully studying the manuscripts left by Master Wang and Master Wenkong, they have a general understanding of the Eight Clans Islands.

"Master Wang said that because of a tsunami in the Eight Clans Islands, all the people on the island died." Mr. Bao said, "But this is the news he got from the fishermen. The pirates disappeared overnight, and I have never seen people on the Bazu Islands since then. Gradually, the strange people on the Bazu Islands have become legends, and those old fishermen have heard from their ancestors. But more than 60 years Suddenly that kind of weird person appeared again, and was witnessed by fishermen who went out to the sea, but most of them were rumors, and the details are unknown."

"The heyday of the Tang Dynasty and 60 years ago." Zhao Pu frowned, "It happened to be the Xingtian accident and the incident 60 years ago. Is it such a coincidence?"

Gongsun crossed his arms, "The timing is indeed a coincidence! Then he asked Master Kong to record, and the result of his follow-up investigation was that the group of people were ordered to check if there were any survivors on the 'Eight Islands', but they went to three islands. , the other few were temporarily unable to approach due to the strong wind and waves. In addition, they also mentioned feeding and so on, saying, "If one ran away, the number of people was wrong, would the Sea God be angry? It was said that it was because the number of people was wrong... '"

In the latter part, Master Wentian did not hear more detailed information because he was interrupted by the obedient person.

The next day, when the group went to check out the other islands, Wentian sneaked into their boat and went with them.And the scene I saw was unforgettable for the monk... I saw that the island was full of white bones, and there were bones everywhere. It seemed that a massacre had happened once. Those bones were both adults and children, and many of them were decapitated. There were obvious stab wounds on his chest and neck, and he was definitely killed.

After confirming that there were no survivors on the island, those Jianghu people rushed to another island.However, Monk Wentian discovered that the island was not deserted, but occupied, and they all hid.There should be authentic tunnels on the island... Of course the Great Monk would not remind those Jianghu people that there are people alive, but followed them.

After "checking" several islands, everyone returned to the shore and went to meet someone.

The man was very mysterious, sitting in the carriage, with the black curtain facing the door, he couldn't see clearly.

The leader of the rivers and lakes reported to him that there were no survivors on the island, and it was confirmed.

The man asked again, "What about offering sacrifices to the Sea God? Didn't any incident arise?"

The Jianghu people concealed the news that one person had escaped, and only replied, "Everything is going well."

The man was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "Then the grievances and grievances have come to an end, whether it is a dead ghost or a damned ghost, hurry up and reincarnate, and cast a good pregnancy in the next life. "

Master Wentian's records ended here. He said that he wanted to investigate further at first, but something happened suddenly and he couldn't leave, so he didn't investigate further. Later, those Jianghu people, the mysterious people in the carriage No matter the person, they never showed up, and the clues were cut off.The only thing he remembers is that among the people in the Jianghu, there is a birthmark on his face...

Even so, Monk Wentian still vaguely felt that he was "responsible" for the "living people" hidden on that island, so he spent the rest of his life "stalking" at the port, in case those people from the rivers and lakes reappeared, he would Just go check it out.It's a pity that those people from the rivers and lakes never appeared again.

In addition, Wen Tiantuo had investigated everywhere, and after a long period of investigation, he felt that the mysterious person sitting in the carriage might be an official of the imperial court.

Lord Bao and Zhao Pu looked at each other, thinking of King Boyang inexplicably.

"It's strange." Gongsun said, "We investigated before, didn't those prisoners who died were sent to exchange their lives? How did the ritual of sacrifice become a sacrifice to the sea god? Feeding? Also, the dead bones on the eight islands are What's going on? Has something to do with the Xingtian? Could it be that the Xingtian went to the island to destroy pirates? Then why did the ship sink on Ehu Island?"

Lord Bao also frowned, "Master Wang's records only say that there are people from the Eight Clans Islands among the pirates, but aren't all the pirates on the Eight Clans Islands?"

"That's right." Gongsun nodded, "Master Wentian said that the dead bones were all big and small, so they should have been killed collectively."

"Could it be that not only Ehudao was slaughtered, but something else? What Master Wentian saw was the skeleton, how many years ago was it killed?" Master Bao frowned, "And Ehudao is not one of the Eight Clans Islands .”

Gongsun also nodded, "The direction is not right, but it's not too far away."

Zhao Pu asked Ye Zhiqiu to bring Luo Yuan and Luo Ying.

The siblings have never heard of the Eight Clans Islands, but Luo Ying said that standing on the highest mountain of Ehu Island and looking westward, you can indeed see several islands that are not far away.She also once asked her grandfather what kind of island it was, and whether there were people on the island. His grandfather said, "There is no one on that island, only ghosts."

Everyone frowned, and the old man seemed to have something to say.

Zhao Pu wrote a letter and asked Zhe Ying to enter the palace and hand it over to the emperor. Afterwards, he sent someone to bring Jie Su out of the prison.

Xie Su was also acupointed, and she was still wearing shackles. Compared with the dissatisfaction of Xie Tianbao and Fang Xinglu, Xie Su seemed to be depressed.The old man was also getting old, and his face was pale. Bao Zheng was a little worried that his body couldn't bear it.But Zhao Pu shook his head... The prison conditions in Kaifeng Mansion are good enough, this old man is good at kung fu, can he fall ill because he has been in the prison for a long time?Really sick, but also heart disease.

When Xi Su arrived at Mr. Bao's study, he saw the white mask on the table at a glance, and subconsciously gasped.

Zhao Pu looked at him, "Have you seen the people who are going to kill you today?"

Sai Su's face paled a little.

Zhao Pu smiled, "You didn't expect the day of retribution, did you?"

Sai Su was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "It shouldn't be me who is going to be punished..."

"Yes, you just used people's money to do things for others before, to check if there are any people alive, but to put it bluntly, it is also called helping the evildoers."

After Zhao Pu said a word, Sasu's face turned pale, and he looked at Zhao Pu with wide eyes, obviously surprised that Zhao Pu knew so much.

In fact, Zhao Pu was bluffing him based on the sporadic content in the manuscript of the Great Monk Wentian, "How about the Ehudao sum?"

It was also difficult for Xi Su to breathe at the moment, and he just said, "I told Tianbao not to participate... But he just didn't listen, and after all, he was forced to do nothing. It's the fault of your Zhao family and King Boyang!"

"Are you lying to yourself or me?" Zhao Pu asked him back, "If it's what you said, why is it you and not me that people want to kill?"

Xi Su's breathing also became rapid, "It shouldn't be like this..."

"Do you have children?" Zhao Pu asked suddenly.

Sai Su raised his head and looked at Zhao Pu with some horror, "I am doing things for your ancestors..."

Zhao Pu laughed, "Using your children to threaten you is something I would never do. Who do you think I am, Zhao Pu? I want to ask you... But you are not worried that your children will live in war in the future?"

Sai Su was taken aback, "The flames of war..."

"Do you know why those people are wearing masks?" Zhao Pu asked, "You should be very familiar with this mask..."

Sai Su opened his mouth wide and shook his head, "Impossible... There is no way to talk... How could it be?!"

"There are survivors." Zhao Pu said, "At that time, there were survivors."

Sai Su sat paralyzed on the ground, "They're here for revenge... they're really here for revenge!"

Zhao Pu signaled the shadow guard to help him up.

Lord Bao said to Xi Su, "Old man, you have lived to such a great age, so let's accumulate blessings for your descendants and tell what you know."

Sai Su stared blankly at the ground for a long time, and then sighed, "Actually, the predecessors did the crimes, and the future generations will suffer the consequences..."

Seeing that the old man was really moved by the words, everyone quieted down and listened to him talk about what happened in the past, the strange and unknown past.

……

At this time, in the palace, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly after reading the letter sent by Zhao Pu asked the shadow guard.

At this moment, Nangong Ji walked in, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhen looked at him.

"The descendants of several county kings got in touch back then." Nangong said, "Most of them are ordinary dudes who don't know anything about their parents' affairs, but when they came back, they were stopped by a servant in the mansion. It turned out that his ancestor It is also the family general who followed the prince, and left a handwritten letter to the descendants, saying that if someone, especially the royal family, comes to investigate the affairs of those county kings in the future, he will find a way to send this letter to the emperor."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Nangong opened the letter and spread it out for Zhao Zhen to read.

This letter is very old, but it is well preserved.

After Zhao Zhen finished reading the letter, his face darkened, and then he asked Nangong Ji to hand over the letter to Zhe Ying who was waiting outside the door, and asked him to take it to Zhao Pu.

After Zhe Ying left, Zhao Zhen said to Nangong, "Go and tell the Grand Master, find a way to help me lure King Boyang into the palace."

Nangong nodded and went to Grand Master's Mansion.

Zhao Zhen stood at the door of the study, looked up at the new moon outside the eaves, and shook his head.

At this time, footsteps came from behind him. When Zhao Zhen heard the footsteps, his face softened a little. Turning around, sure enough... I saw Xiangxiang running over quietly, hugging his leg, leaning on his back. Smiling at him.

Zhao Zhen picked her up, walked to the courtyard, raised his face and continued to look at the night sky.

Xiao Xiangxiang tilted her head to look at her father, stretched out her hand to rub Zhao Zhen's slightly frowned brows, and asked, "Father, are you bothered?"

Zhao Zhen smiled, and nodded to his daughter, "Isn't the father bothered?"

Xiangxiang stared at Zhao Zhen, as if waiting for him to say something troublesome.

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Father really wants to ask a wise man, other than fighting, is there any way to solve this enmity." Zhao Zhen was fascinated, "It would be great if the Demon King is still alive."

Naturally, Xiangxiang didn't understand these things, she just hugged his father and rubbed around, making Zhao Zhen's troubles dissipate... decided to leave it alone, and leave it to Zhao Pu and Kaifeng Mansion!

……

Not to mention Zhao Pu and Kaifeng Mansion, including Zhao Zhen, but Zhan Zhao and the others arrived at Chuzhou Mansion smoothly at midnight.

At this time, the upper part is the starry sky and the lower part is the town that has fallen asleep, and the surroundings are completely silent, only the sound of the wind blowing from Yaoyao's wings.

When Yaoyao arrived at the Chuzhou Mansion and circled twice, Bai Yutang wanted to find a place to land, but Yaoyao pointed into the distance and uttered a cry.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw that Tianzun was frowning and looking towards the direction of the harbor at the mouth of the sea.

At this time, the sea was also pitch black, but right at the black line where the sea meets the sky, there were dots of fire, and...the fire seemed to be getting bigger.

At this time, I heard Tianzun suddenly say, "Not good!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked over... and saw that the flames were moving rapidly towards the port, turning into fireballs.

With several loud bangs, the port was hit by a blazing fireball.

All of a sudden, the fourth gong sounded, and Zhan Zhao heard the guards stationed at the port shout, "Close the city gate! Someone is attacking the city!"

In an instant, the Chu state government was in chaos.

After all, it is a military fortress, and the garrison is guarded by reliable generals. Although the barracks is chaotic, there is no panic. Soldiers ran out with lanterns and torches, ready to fight.

Not only that, the houses of the residents in the city also lit up lights, which should be the residents who were awakened.

"Look over there!" Tianzun pointed to the distance.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw a large number of warships approaching on the line where the sea and the sky intersect in the distance, and the leading one, even though it was so far away and looked at from such a high distance, Zhan Zhao still fell behind. He took a breath, "What a big boat!"

Bai Yutang also found it unbelievable, "It's not good... It's at least twice as big as the largest ship in Zhao Pu's batch!"

At this time, many warships were shooting fireballs towards the shore.Because the distance is still far, the fireball can only be shot at the port, but if the ship gets closer, the fireball will be thrown into the city, and then there will be heavy casualties. city.

"We can't let the boat move forward anymore!" Tianzun said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

"Zhao Pu's conjecture is correct. The other party wanted the Chuzhou Mansion, and the surprise attack came faster than expected!" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded, "It's difficult to block so many warships...but if the opponent is smart, he might be able to deceive him."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "I think so too, as long as they suspect that we are prepared."

Tianzun looked at the two curiously, "What should I do?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang patted Tianzun on the shoulder, and smiled wickedly, "Let them open their eyes!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Yutang patted Yaoyao on the head... Yaoyao swooped towards the harbor.

When Zhan Zhao arrived at the port, he jumped off alone, and landed in front of two almost identical generals who were directing the defense at the top of the city.

The two were startled, Zhan Zhao had already stretched out his hand and showed them a piece of Nine Dragons Gold Token.

These two were the Chen brothers, the generals guarding the city, and they were immediately pleasantly surprised, "The prince sent you here?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and signaled, "All the lights are off! Stop the sound of gongs and drums!"

The two immediately ordered.

In an instant... the originally noisy and chaotic port was suddenly silent.

What's even more strange is that the fireball shot by the opponent miraculously went out in the air. After it fell down, some soldiers saw the fireball steaming, and took a closer look—good guy!Turned into a hockey puck!

Yaoyao carried Bai Yutang and Tianzun close to the sea and flew towards the direction of the fleet.

The fireballs that flew over continued to turn into ice balls.

The soldiers guarding the city were dumbfounded, not understanding what happened.

At this time, Bai Yutang was holding on to Tianzun's sleeve, and Tianzun's internal power was transmitted to Shark, who didn't exist in mid-air to others.

Shark, who appeared suddenly, used Tianzun's extreme cold internal power to sweep those fireballs... What fell down was naturally ice balls.

At this moment, the fleet on the opposite side also stopped advancing, stopped shooting fireballs, and probably sensed something was wrong, so they stopped advancing for caution.No one cares whether Wu Su is a fool or not, but since Mr. Mo has won every battle, he naturally knows who his opponent is... The enemy is Zhao Pu, so it is normal to be suspicious.

Zhan Zhao smiled, and said to himself that you are suspicious!He asked the two brothers of the Chen family, "Do you have any warships?"

"Yes, but not many!" The two brothers were helpless.

"A few ships are enough!" Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "There can be more!"

……
