After leaving the sea area where the giant sharks gathered, the sea became calm again. The storm at sea lasted for a day and a night, and when the wind and waves calmed down, the sky became clear again. The sky is vast and high, and the sea is blue, as if the violent wind and waves had never appeared before.
After the rest of their lives, after the ship sailed smoothly, they began to count the wounded and check the situation of the ship. Although there were no fatalities in the storm, many people were injured. The wind and waves combined with the impact of the giant shark, the hull bumped and undulated, causing many people to be injured in the cabin.
Fortunately, there were enough doctors and medicines on the boat. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Xiao Zhige was also injured. His palm was stretched by the rope for too long, and it was already a little red and swollen after touching the water. An Changqing poured the white wine on his palm repeatedly, and then sprinkled the medicinal powder on it and wrapped it up for him. Xiao Zhige didn't say a word the whole time, and his brows didn't even wrinkle.
On the contrary, Huai Rushan, who was rubbing the wound medicine and bandaging next to him, kept yelling, "It hurts, take it easy!"
He was unlucky, the hull of the ship was bumping too violently, he broke the wood in the cabin, and the wood thorns pierced into the palm of his hand. Although it was not deep, the wound on the palm of his hand looked a bit scary. Huai Ruyu was picking thorns for him, and he couldn't bear his shouting, so he snorted and told him to shut up.
Only then did Huai Rushan calm down.
***
The fleet sailed smoothly at sea for another five or six days, and the day was clear and clear. The sea has no waves. The fleet sailed on the sea in a phalanx, and as the sun rose higher and higher, an island loomed over the sea in the distance. The island is suspended above the sea water, surrounded by clouds and mists, and you can vaguely see the island's prosperous vegetation and houses.
After sailing at sea for several days, the island has not been seen, and everyone is inevitably a little murmured in their hearts. Now, as soon as the floating island appeared, someone called out "Xiandao", and others also put down their work and knelt down to worship.
An Changqing and the others stood on the bow and looked at each other with a solemn expression. They are all familiar with the situation of the merpeople. Although the merpeople are different from ordinary people, they are still flesh and blood. There is no ability to fly. Now this "Xiandao" floating in mid-air makes people feel a little unsteady.
Huai Ruyu said: "I have seen it in the miscellaneous notes. The ancients recorded that there is a mirage in the sea, which is shaped like a big clam and can breathe out into a tower."
Huai Rushan also said: "I also heard the old boatman say it when I went to sea. There is a mirage at sea, and it condenses into a fairy mountain pavilion. The old boatman said that if you see this thing, you must not follow it, or you will run into the deep sea. , it will be swallowed by evil sharks. Even if you don't encounter evil sharks and lose your way at sea, you will be dead. This is not good."
"The chart is like this, but if we don't go to the east, where can we go?" An Changqing said: "And when I look at that island, I always feel familiar."
Huai Rushan took out the chart, and the four of them discussed it for a long time, but did not find anything that was overlooked. If there is no problem with the chart, then the tomb of the mermaid should really be in this position.
Xiao Zhige, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly said, "Where do you think we should go?"
An Changqing pondered for a while and said, "I still think it's time to go towards the 'Xiandao'."
Xiao Zhige glanced at him and said to Huai Ruyu and Huai Rushan: "The sea map was made by Xue Chang and Huai Shu'an, they must have wanted to leave the tomb of the merman to Yu Qiao, if so, there is no need for them to The manipulations on the chart are misleading. Most of the directions marked on this chart are correct." He paused and said, "And now, he has the blood of the merpeople, I trust his intuition."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Huai Ruyu and Huai Rushan, waiting for them to express their views.
Huai Rushan thought for a while and said, "It makes sense to say that. The sea area is so wide, except for the 'Xiandao' where the location is clear, it is difficult to find other locations. Why don't we take a gamble."
Huai Ruyu also agrees with this statement.
The four reached a consensus, and then sent an order to call the fleet to sail towards the 'Xiandao' with all their strength. When the crew members learned that they were going to find the immortal island, they all cheered up and accelerated forward with all their strength.
It's just that the fleet sailed towards the immortal island for one, two, three days... for ten days, the immortal island seemed to be never reachable. Day out and night out, always in a position not far from them.
The old boatmen accompanying them dared to seek their persuasion, saying the same as Huai Rushan's previous statement: the 'Xiandao' at sea is uncertain and cannot be pursued. The predecessors said that this was the bait for the deep-sea Evil Flood Dragon, which led the fleet to sail to the middle of the sea, and finally got lost in the sea and became a Chinese meal in the belly of the Evil Flood Dragon.
An Changqing was actually a little nervous, but every time he looked at the floating 'Xiandao', he felt that he should head towards this direction. He hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on his own idea: "Continue to sail forward."
When the other three saw this, they ordered to move on. Seeing that persuasion was useless, the old boatman could only sigh and leave.
On the fifteenth day, another rain fell on the sea, and there was heavy fog on the sea, and the 'Xiandao' disappeared. After the fleet sailed for half a day, someone suddenly came to report that an island appeared ahead.
Several people hurried on the deck, and saw that the thick fog gradually faded away, and a green island gradually appeared in front of them.
"It's the tomb of the merman!" An Changqing suddenly said.
Xiao Zhige glanced at him, took his hand, and ordered: "Everyone should be on guard, the vanguard should bring weapons and go to the island to investigate after landing."
The orders were passed down one after another, and the fleet put up its sails and stopped on the sea near the island. The vanguard dropped the boat into the sea and landed in five groups. The rest were waiting on the boat.
After about half a day, the vanguard turned back. They made a "safe" gesture on the shore, and everyone on board was ready to land. The ship has a deep draft, and there is no dock on the island. The soldiers put down all the boats and went back and forth to transport some people and materials to the island.
Leaving a small part to stay on the shore and on the boat, the rest of the soldiers protected the four and walked to the island. There are no roads on the island, and there are vigorous vegetation and unknown wildflowers everywhere.
The captain of the vanguard who went to explore the road before reported the situation on the island as he walked forward: "We explored fifteen miles forward and found no trace of people. Going further is a cliff barrier, and we can't cross it, and we can't continue to explore. "
The vanguard opened the way in front, and everyone walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Huai Rushan asked, "Do you see anything suspicious? A carved stone tablet or a hidden cave or something?"
The captain was stunned and replied: "No, this place is surrounded by wild mountains and forests. There are groups of trees. There are no stone tablets or caves."
Huai Rushan touched his nose: "Isn't that the way the book and Zhiyi are written?"
Huai Ruyu squinted at him: "I will tell you to stop reading these useless books on weekdays."
Huai Rushan was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but Xiao Zhige let out a deep shout, quickly grabbed the bow and arrow from the captain's back, and pulled the bow to shoot the arrow in one go. The arrow was nailed into the dense canopy, and there was a faint cry of pain.
When the other soldiers saw this, they quickly rushed to the big tree and pulled down a dirty boy from the tree.
The young man was dressed in brown clothes with a grass ring made of vines on his head, and his face was very handsome. Unwillingly, he was pushed forward by the soldiers, stared fiercely, and asked in Da Ye dialect with a strange pronunciation, "Who are you? What do you want to do on the island?"
An Changqing noticed the red lines on his neck as he struggled, his eyes moved, and he motioned the soldiers to release him, then stepped forward, showed him the red lines behind his ears, and said warmly, "My grandfather is a saint. Make."
The young man looked startled, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Isn't the little uncle dead?"
An Changqing said calmly, "Do you think your grandfather died?"
Although the young man is tall and tall, he has obviously lived on the island for a long time and has no heart to guard against others. Hearing that, he touched his head and said, "My father said that people outside are not keeping their promises, and my uncle must be caught and killed by them."
"Have you been persecuted by outsiders before?" An Changqing continued.
Perhaps he regarded him as a kin, the young man did not take precautions and said: "Yeah. I heard from the old people that many people wanted to kill us in the past. Later, they hid on the island to live in peace. It's just that every ten years someone has to go out to sea. One trip. Dad was supposed to go, but the little uncle was scrambling to go. Dad let him go. But when the time came, he didn't come back. Dad was sad for a long time, saying that those people must have made a comeback. Let's go out again."
An Changqing and Xiao Zhige exchanged glances, and said, "My grandfather has passed away, but he was not killed. I found the island based on the clues he left behind, please take us to see you. See your father and daddy?"
The young man looked at the others, hesitated to pull An Changqing aside, and said in a low voice, "If you want to go, I can take you there, but the others can't. Both father and daddy said that the people outside are all If the bad guys see it, they will be led to the Heavenly Palace to be killed."
"Heavenly Palace?" An Changqing's eyebrows moved slightly.
The boy whispered: "The palace is full of organs, and I don't dare to go in."
An Changqing talked with him for a while, but the young man refused to lead the way no matter what. An Changqing saw his clear eyes and thought that his clansmen would not be evil people, so he discussed with Xiao Zhige: "He refuses to lead the way for outsiders, I will go with him to see if I can get the antidote. "

Xiao Zhige frowned and said solemnly, "It's too risky. He may not be trustworthy."
The Huai Ruyu brothers did not agree either. They were not familiar with this huge island. If An Changqing followed this young man, they would not receive any news if something happened.
An Changqing was very sure, he had an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust to this young man. This may be the inheritance of blood.
He insisted: "I'll bring the slamming arrow and the dick. If there is an accident, I will send out a signal, and you will follow me to find me, and I will try my best to save myself. Anyway, it is the same clan, even if you want to kill me, it will not be so fast. Get your hands on it."
Xiao Zhige wanted to say something else, but seeing his firm expression, he swallowed the words that were on his lips. He took off the sharp arrow and dagger he was carrying and handed it to him, and whispered in his ear: "I will follow in secret, you must be careful."
An Changqing was slightly stunned, then nodded, squeezed his hand heavily, and just turned around and walked towards the boy who was waiting not far away.
