The entire Qianlong Island is surrounded by mountains, the seaside is densely covered with dangerous shoals, and the rocks are rugged under the surging water. The only pier on the island is on the north side of the island, in a relatively leeward place between two steep peaks that extend into the sea. In the angle, the terrain is quite steep.
The waterway where the passenger ship enters the dock is winding. The mountains on both sides of the waterway are dotted with many large and small caves, whether due to weathering or rain erosion, or even due to special geological formations. Some caves are half immersed in seawater. As the waves beat, there will be some weird echoes in those caves, like the roar of some monster, which sounds inexplicably chilling.
After the passenger ship traveled about five or six hundred meters in the narrow and winding waterway, Zhang Tie felt that the scenery in front of him suddenly broadened, and he saw a small pier and some man-made buildings on Qianlong Island that were only more than a hundred meters long.
After the boat docked at the pier, everyone started to go ashore. Zhang Tie slowly stayed at the end. After almost everyone on the boat had left, two young men of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing black smart clothes, came to the shore. He and three other men in other colorful clothes came to the deck of the passenger ship.
"It's him..." As soon as these people came, one of the men in colorful clothes pointed at the corpse on the deck and shouted, "It's him who killed my eldest brother and uncle and took them away from there. Centipede beads dug out from the body of a centipede..." As the man spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally, he couldn't help but take out the long knife on his body and slashed hard at the corpse, crazy. He chopped it off several times and said, "Brother, uncle, you died so miserably, I will use this evil man's head to pay homage to you..."
"The centipede has been handed over to you. This man's body is also here. It is up to you to dispose of the body. Whether it is crushed to ashes or eaten alive, it is up to you!"
"Old Ma Teng, on behalf of the 659 people in Majiazhuang, Qingshan County, would like to thank the Huaiyuan Zhang family for their great righteousness!" An old man among the other people endured his grief and saluted the two teenagers with a deep clasped fist.
"Dead people cannot be resurrected, so please forgive me and obey!"
The men in colorful clothes, in grief and anger, thanked the two teenagers and directly carried the body off the boat.
Zhang Tie, who had been staying at the end slowly, saw this scene and had a rough guess about the identities of the two teenagers. Even if these two teenagers were not from Qianlong Hall. At least they are members of the Zhang family on the island.
"You two, please go slowly!" Zhang Tie stopped the two teenagers just as they walked onto the pier.
"What's going on?" The two teenagers turned around and looked at Zhang Tie who suddenly appeared.
"I would like to ask you two how to get to Qianlong Hall?"
"Are you going to Qianlong Hall?" One of the two teenagers heard that Zhang Tie was going to Qianlong Hall, and looked at Zhang Tie carefully from head to toe.
"Yes, I want to go to Qianlong Hall!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"What do you want to do at Qianlong Hall?"
"Go report!"
"Show me your family certificate!"
Zhang Tie took out the family certificate from his body. Passed it to the two teenagers, who looked at it carefully. They looked at each other. They nodded together.
"Your name is Zhang Tie?" One of the teenagers returned the family certificate to Zhang Tie.
"Yes!"
"My name is Xu Lang, his name is Zhang Houyu, and we are both from Qianlongtang!" Xu Lang's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic. After Xu Lang said this, he looked at the young man named Zhang Houyu next to him, "Yes Will you send him to Qianlong Hall or should I send him there?"
"Haha. Since both of them are named Zhang, let me send him there! You continue to patrol the island, and we will meet somewhere in Yunshi Town after I send him to Qianlong Hall." The young man named Zhang Houyu said.
"good!"
"Come with me!" Zhang Houyu greeted Zhang Tie, turned around and left. Zhang Tie naturally followed him and left the pier. After leaving the pier, the young man named Xu Lang said hello to the two people and then left the other way.
There is a small street here at the pier. There are several buildings on both sides of the street. Zhang Tie took a look and found that those buildings include warehouses, hotels, a fish market, and two shops that sell unknown items. Surprisingly, there are There was also a restaurant. Most of the people who had just got off the boat rushed to the restaurant. After four or five hours on the boat, everyone was still hungry. As soon as they saw a restaurant, they all rushed in.
Zhang Tie's stomach was also growling a little, but at this moment, seeing others leading the way for him, he was embarrassed to let them wait for him to finish eating before leaving.
"Do you want to eat something first?" Zhang Tie said nothing, but Zhang Houyu asked very understandingly, "If you want to eat, at least eat less. This place is about twenty miles away from Qianlong Hall. "Dear, I'm so full that I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up!"
"It doesn't matter, it's the same as eating at Qianlongtang!"
"Okay, then follow up. Let's run, faster!" Zhang Houyu started running after saying this, and Zhang Tie hurriedly ran to keep up.
Thinking of the Xu Lang he had just met, Zhang Tie had a question in his mind and asked Zhang Houyu while running, "Does Qianlong Hall also recruit children with foreign surnames?"
"In addition to the direct lineage of the Zhang family, if anyone in the entire Zhang family in Huaiyuan County awakens the ancestral bloodline, they can also enter the Qianlong Hall. When you first come to the Qianlong Hall, you must remember the first rule of the Qianlong Hall, which is that no Feel free to ask others about their awakened ancestral bloodline and how many times they have awakened it. Do not casually reveal to others what your awakened family bloodline is. You may not feel that this information is important now, but it is a very important family secret. First of all, Some people may still know about the ancestral bloodline awakened for the first time, but no matter what abilities the ancestral bloodline awakened after the second time gives you, the less people know about it, the better. This is your trump card. At some point in the future Maybe I can save your life!" Zhang Houyu said, watching Zhang Tie can keep up with his pace, and slowly speeded up a little more.
"Can the ancestral bloodline be awakened a second time?" This was the first time Zhang Tiezhen heard this information, and Weiwei was a little surprised. He thought that one person could awaken once.
"Of course, there is no upper limit to the number of times you can awaken your ancestral bloodline. Different ancestral bloodlines will give you different specialties and talents. As for how many times you can awaken them, it all depends on your abilities and opportunities. Many bloodlines that have been awakened once can still be awakened twice. Awakening three times, three times, or even more times to complete the advancement and strengthening of the same ancestral bloodline!"
Zhang Tie sighed slightly in his heart. Sure enough, it was Qianlong Hall. Not long after he arrived, it had given him two surprises. One was on the passenger ship and the other was here. He didn't know what his spear-throwing ancestral blood would do after he awakened again. Upgrade to something. this problem. Just thinking about it made Zhang Tie's heart become hot and he had more vision for the future.
After leaving the dock, the two people started running faster and faster on the mountain path. At the beginning, Zhang Houyu wanted to take care of Zhang Tie. Deliberately slowing down a bit. After arriving, he saw Zhang Tie chatting with him easily while running, so Zhang Houyu slowly accelerated. However, no matter how fast he accelerated, Zhang Tie followed his pace in an unhurried and calm manner. While Zhang Houyu was surprised, he also developed a young man's desire to win, and slowly used his full strength.
Zhang Tie didn't feel that the young man who was leading him was sweating on his forehead. He had eaten nine Wild Wolf Seven Power Fruits. He only felt that such a speed was very relaxed and could only be regarded as a trot. Even compared with his current "cruising speed", it seemed to be a little behind. If he wanted to, he could run at this speed for a whole day without any problem.
After running five kilometers and climbing over a mountain, Zhang Tie unexpectedly discovered that there was a large town on Qianlong Island. The town was located in a small basin on the island, surrounded by mountains and forests. The prosperity of the town seems to be no worse than that of the towns on land. Two people ran past the hillside on the east side of the town.
"Ah, I didn't expect there to be a town of this size on Qianlong Island!" Zhang Tie sighed naturally.
Hearing Zhang Tie's emotion, Zhang Houyu, who had been running with his head down, almost let out a breath. At this time, he could no longer speak so freely, but he didn't expect that Zhang Tie didn't even take a breath when he spoke.
"This is... Bailong Town... Qianlong Island... There are... five towns in total... In addition to Bailong Town... there is also Qinglong Town... Huanglong Town... Black Dragon Town... Blue Dragon Town!" Zhang Houyu gritted his teeth and ran. He spoke intermittently, and the wind in front of him poured into his mouth as he spoke, almost making him choke and cough.
At this moment, Zhang Houyu had already determined in his heart that the ancestral bloodline awakened by Zhang Tie must be related to his running ability. Otherwise, he really couldn't think of how a boy who looked one or two years younger than him could have such abilities. Such amazing endurance and running ability.
After Zhang Houyu ran hard for less than half an hour, he finally arrived at Qianlong Hall. It was a group of fortresses built on a difficult terrain but with beautiful scenery. Three castles were built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The middle of the castle is connected by various villas and pavilions hidden in the jungle. It is magnificent and magnificent. Just looking at the buildings in front of him, Zhang Tie knew that the wealth of Huaiyuantang was indeed not just blown away.
A more than 20-meter-high archway with the three characters "Qianlong Hall" stands in front of Zhang Tie. Under the archway are two huge and majestic stone lions.
"This... this is Qianlong Hall. When you enter, naturally... someone will greet you!"
After saying this, Zhang Houyu had already left before Zhang Tie could thank him.
Zhang Tie scratched his head and felt Zhang Houyu's attitude was a bit strange. What he didn't know was that the "senior" who brought him to "Qianlong Hall" was already ashamed of Zhang Tie's foot power on the way. As soon as we arrived at our destination, we quickly left.
…
Zhang Tie took a deep breath and touched the family certificate on his body, crossed the archway, and walked towards the first castle at the foot of the mountain. The guards outside the castle were all young people. Seeing Zhang Tie's arrival, they had already A young man under twenty years old took the initiative to greet him. After Zhang Tie took out the family certificate and explained clearly his purpose, the young man brought Zhang Tie to the castle.
…
A few minutes later…
"Zhang Tie, age fifteen, warrior level five, awakening the bloodline of his ancestors for the first time, entering Qianlong Hall for the first time, this is the key to your room, No. 73, Xingzhiyuan, this is the map of Qianlong Island, You can report to Zhixingyuan today. Before you leave, you can confirm again whether all the money and belongings you brought have been handed over. Your money and belongings have been registered. There are a total of 8 gold coins and 13 silver coins. Yes. I will give it back to you when you leave Qianlongtang. If you are found to have hidden money, even a copper plate, the punishment will be very serious!" A 60-year-old man with a goatee, who looked a bit wretched, looked like a pawnshop Like a shopkeeper, he stood behind a high counter, pushing keys, maps and other things in front of Zhang Tie, while raising his head and explaining to Zhang Tie seriously.
Zhang Tie also didn't expect that the first step of reporting to Qianlong Hall would be to hand over all the money and belongings he had on him. In addition to what he had with him, there were 5,000 gold coins in cash and 5,000 gold coins in gold tickets in the Black Iron Castle. This is the spare money Zhang Tie left for himself. The remaining money from the auction of the Ring of Vitality. After he went to Black Flame City and gave part of it to his brother, now only So much.
"Can I ask? Don't we need money on Qianlong Island and Qianlong Hall? Why do we have to hand over all my belongings?"
"Of course money is used in Qianlong Island and Qianlongtang, and more will be used. There is no place in the world where money is not spent. But for those of us who join the Qianlongtang family children, in Qianlongtang Every copper spent on Dragon Island and Qianlong Hall must be earned by oneself on the island, not brought from home!" This voice came from behind Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie turned his head. , only to see four teenagers similar to him walking in one by one carrying a wire sack.
The four teenagers were all wearing a simple coarse cloth vest, and they were all covered in sweat. It seemed that they were carrying heavy things on their backs. The taller boy walking in the front was better off, and the three boys walking behind were doing better. The skin on their faces and arms was so sunburned that it cracked quickly like dry tree bark. Zhang Tie could vaguely imagine how their skin and flesh used to look like.
The foreheads of several teenagers sweated too much, and some fine white salt grains gathered on their foreheads. The sweat soaked on the cracked skin, causing the corners of their eyes to twitch involuntarily. stand up.
As soon as a few people came closer, Zhang Tie seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell of the sea on several people. Zhang Tie looked at it and saw that there were some minor wounds on the hands and arms of several teenagers. Just this picture If they hadn't appeared here, Zhang Tie would have definitely suspected that someone was abusing slave workers if he had seen so many people elsewhere.
"New here?" the boy walking in front asked Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded.
"Then come with us, we are also from Zhixingyuan!" said the young man who took the lead.
"Hahahaha, welcome to Qianlong Hall?" Another young man with a sunburnt face seemed to want to laugh when he saw Zhang Tie's dazed look, but then a slight smile appeared on his face, and he forced himself to use the air conditioner. I suppressed my smile...
This Qianlongtang seems to be a little different from what I imagined.
