After Hou Sheng got everything ready, he led the expedition on the road to find Penglai Xiandao.
Although the nautical charts of the Qin Dynasty were not so clear, after all, with advanced technology and good equipment, exploring the sea is already a breeze.
Under the guidance of the nautical chart, Hou Sheng sailed all the way east, and encountered a lot of troubles and obstacles on the way, but they all overcome them one by one, but the strange thing is that after fifteen days, they have encountered many islands. But none of them is Penglai Fairy Island. The coordinates in the picture are completely wrong. You can find this coordinate, but there is nothing at that location.
Everyone became frustrated, and Hou Sheng also realized that the nautical chart of Penglai Fairy Island in his hand was fake, or there was no such island at all.
Food is getting less and less, and the expedition team is exhausted after 15 days of sea travel. They no longer have the intention of looking for Penglai Fairy Island. They all gave up the idea of looking for Penglai Fairy Island. They can’t do it because An imaginary island continued to move forward, and Hou Sheng decided to take them home.
The sea is very dangerous, especially when the weather is bad. On the second day of the return trip, there was a storm on the sea, the sea soared, and the wind almost overturned the ships.
At night, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the waves threw the ship up to two stories high. Hou Sheng knew that there was something wrong, and hurriedly sent out a lifebuoy by himself.
Life and death are fate, wealth and wealth are in the sky. Since I can join the expedition, I have been prepared to lose my life. Although the situation is critical, everyone looks unsightly, but no one is in a hurry, and no one is crying. These are all domestic Experienced explorers, their psychological quality is very strong, even if they encounter death, they are not afraid.
A few minutes after the lifebuoy was released, only a bang was heard, and the ship was overturned, and then it kept rolling in the waves.
Hou Sheng made a decisive decision and jumped off the boat directly, otherwise, sooner or later, it would be completely dispersed like this boat!
After Hou Sheng jumped into the sea, he was immediately turned over by the sea, like a leaf falling into the sea. After a few minutes of coming and going, his body seemed to be torn apart, and he soon passed out. .
When I waited for Sheng to wake up, the sky was still dark, but the storm had stopped. It should have been only a few hours. He was not in the water, but on the land. He looked around. Although it was dark, he could see. It is concluded that this is an island.
Hou Sheng stumbled to stand up, his head still hurts, his eyes were blurry, and in the dark environment, he basically wrestled in three steps when he walked, but he had to confirm a few things immediately. First, his companions. Where is it? Is there anything wrong, will you get caught on this island like him? Second, where is the boat? Third, what is this place? Is there any danger? He has to find something to defend around, whether it is a stick or a stone, the weapons he brings are all on the boat, and he doesn't even have a nail clipper on his body.
After walking for some distance, Hou Sheng was surprised to find that the boat was on the shore of this island. His boat was not an ordinary boat, worth 50 million yuan. Even if it was tossed by the waves, it was a little damaged, but it was still usable.
Fortunately, all the staff were taken to the island, not bad! Hou Sheng shook them all up in a hurry.
After the expedition team woke up, they all sat on the ground, and most of them were unwell. But this was a blessing in misfortune. To survive this kind of wind and waves, there is nothing more to say than to say that you are dead.
After a while, everyone stumbled and stood up, and then began to look at the island.
This island is very strange, it is covered by dense fog. If it is not rolled here, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find, but the environment of this island is very beautiful, like a fairyland, plus the surrounding dense fog, it is even more sensational Up.
Suddenly someone jumped out: "Is this Penglai Fairy Island?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone exclaimed. If this is the case, it is really crooked, and there is nowhere to look for it. It takes no effort to get it. This storm can be regarded as a gift from God.
Everyone climbed onto the boat, then took out flashlights and weapons and couldn't wait to see the whole picture of this island. Whether or not Penglai Fairy Island is yet to be determined.
The flashlights I brought were all waterproof and did not break. With a few snaps, the flashlight illuminates the dark surroundings.
With the light, everyone's courage has also been strengthened a lot, but this island with flourishing trees, there is no sound, why should there be a bit of bugs
Some people say that this island is not popular at all, will it be an uninhabited island
No one answered, but suddenly felt cold behind his back. To say why this happened, Hou Sheng didn't know. He had explored many terrifying places, but he had never tried it like this.
A few people went all the way, after crossing a large area of beautiful woods and flowers, they saw the first house. At this time, they finally determined that the island was inhabited, but the design of the house was very strange, a bit like a tree out of it. The shape of the bird's nest does not have this kind of architecture whether it is ancient or modern.
The door is open, and there is no one after entering. There are many daily necessities in it that are ancient and seem to be older than the Spring and Autumn Period, but they are all covered with dust, and some are in ruin and severely corroded.
Everyone continued to move forward. After about a hundred steps, someone suddenly screamed, then pointed to the ground and shouted: "There are dead people!"
Everyone looked down and found that it was a skeleton. The skeleton was about seven or eight years old. There was not much clothes and hair left, and the bones were a bit tattered. I don't know how long it had been dead.
Later this kind of bones were everywhere, one for a few steps and one for a few steps. They were all of the same age. You can tell from the size of the skeleton that there should be males and females.
Hou Sheng sighed and said, "These are the three thousand boys and girls that Xu Fu brought, right?"
Everyone agreed. This possibility was extremely high, and it proved that this might be the Penglai Fairy Island they were looking for, but everyone didn't understand why all these three thousand boys and girls died here.
One of the expedition members said, "Could it be that they were killed by the original residents of this island?"
Hou Sheng shook his head: "No, if it was killed by the residents of the island, they would not fail to dispose of the corpse. Leaving the corpse on the island would also affect their daily life."
What Hou Sheng said was right. Who could stand the corpses all over the floor? The smell would be stinking too. If the original residents killed them, even if they didn't dig a pit and bury them, they would have to be piled up and burned.
