Chapter 492 Eight Clan Islands(1/2)
Lord Bao opened a book, which looked very exquisite.
It was the first time Gongsun saw it, so he asked curiously what book it was. Lord Bao said that the book was taken out of Chuntang Pavilion, one of which was a set of travel notes.
The person who wrote this book is Wang Yunye, who calls himself a lay Buddhist. In fact, he means wandering around the mountains and rivers all day long. Don’t look casual, he is also one of the great writers. This person is keen on collecting folk legends and strange stories, and everything he hears and sees is recorded and collected into a book. He traveled all over the country throughout his life. When he was old, he was one of Bao Zheng’s masters. The two were friends forgot about age. When the old man chatted with Bao Zheng, he talked about the Bolu clan. The old man told Bao Zheng that he had some research on this. If he met strange people or things in the future, he might as well go and read the few travel notes he collected in the Chuntang Pavilion.
Lord Bao opened the book and asked Gongsun to read it, while saying, "The article of Master Wang recorded a piece of rumors about the 'Eight-Generation Islands' when he was listening to several old fishermen on the beach."
"Eight Clan Islands?" Zhao Pu frowned, never heard of it.
But Gongsun suddenly looked up, "Huh? The manuscripts of Master Wenkong that Mr. Yin took out from Nan'an Temple Villa before, also mentioned some islands, which are very similar to the description here."
"Oh?" Mr. Bao was surprised.
Gongsun asked Bao Yan to bring all the manuscripts.
Bao Yan and Pang Yu ran for a trip and brought the manuscripts over.
"Master Wenkong followed those people in the martial arts world back then." Gongsun said, "He secretly eavesdropped on their conversation, roughly as follows..."
"All said it was dead, how could there be a living person?"
"But there are eight islands, we only went to three, and the people on Ehu Island are also unknown."
"Oh, haven't you seen the bones on the island?"
"Those three are, and so are the other five?"
"Why do you care about that much?"
"Our task is to confirm whether there are any living beings."
"That's right, it's good that you don't have a living mouth, don't ask too much."
"The more you know about this kind of thing, the faster you die!"
Zhao Pu frowned slightly, "Eight islands..."
"Then what Mr. Wang mentioned in his travel notes was that he chatted with a few old fishermen, saying that there were thieves on the sea originally. The thieves were very fierce and had high martial arts skills, but the imperial court did not take them. The reason was that these people had their own characteristics. Some were very large in size, some were very good at water, some were slippery in their bodies like fish, and some were vicious in appearance and amazing strength." Bao Daren said, "In fact, these people are not from the Central Plains. They live on several islands in the distant sea, with a total of eight islands, which are called the Eight Clan Islands. It is said that there is a clan living on each island, all of which are descendants of the Sea God."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this - it appeared! The Sea God!
"Master Wang recorded the rumors about these islands in detail, including Bolumen Island. The residents on it were called Bolumen tribes. They were huge in size and stupid in character and had infinite strength." Bao Daren said, "There is a mountain gate on that island, which is white deer-shaped, so it is also called Bailu Island. Later, it was spread from generation to generation, and it became Bolumen."
"The huge body is stupid and powerful... It is very consistent with the Five Constellations." Zhao Pu nodded, "No wonder the energy of being isolated from the world is really living on the island."
"Does Mr. Gongsun also know about the Bolumen clan?" Mr. Bao asked Gongsun curiously.
Gongsun nodded and said, "I saw it in my previous medical skills. The master's medical skills record the impact of body shape on the body. The person who mentioned the largest body should be the Bolumen clan, born on the sea, fishing for life, has thick bones and is astonishingly weight. The reason for this body shape is related to the food they eat. They should have eaten a deep-sea fish for a long time, called Boban, or the fleece. This fish has smooth body, horns on its head, gray spots on its white background, and looks like a deer, but has no eyes."
"No eyes?" Zhao Pu was surprised.
"There are only eye sockets but no eyes, probably because they live in the dark and deep sea all year round." Gongsun said, "This kind of fish is very fat. Eating too much will make people fat and their bones will become thicker... This kind of fish is a medicinal material, which is miraculous for symptoms such as osteoporosis and 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 people from the Bolumen tribe can catch it. It is said that the Bolumen tribe has become extinct."
Speaking of this, Gongsun looked regretful and said to himself, "I would have gotten the borerfish! I'll be regretful for life."
Everyone looked at him, and Zhao Pu couldn't help but say, "You are not Zhan Zhao, why are you so persistent about a fish?"
Gongsun glanced at Zhao Pu, then looked down at his body and sighed.
Xiao Sizi came in at some point, and listened to everyone's speech while peeling oranges. At this time, she said, "Dad is still thinking about that fish? Xiao Sizi also wants to eat it. After eating it, she can become an ideal figure with a tiger's back and a bear's waist!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the figures of Gongsun and Ye, and imagined the situation after they combined the four words "tiger back and bear waist"... They found it funny inexplicably.
Zhao Pu was also a little angry and lowered his voice to Gongsun, "Take you down, it's useless to eat any fish! Zhan Zhao has eaten fish for so many years but isn't that kind of cat! Eating fish will not make you fat!"
Gongsun slanted Zhao Pu hard, and Xiao Sizi touched his chin and thought seriously - yes! He still needs to eat more meat,
...
"Ah snee..."
Zhan Zhao, who was on the way, suddenly sneezes.
Bai Yutang sat on Yaoyao's back and asked him, "Is it cold?"
Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose. It was dark at this time. Yaoyao flew high and fast. It was indeed strong. However, his internal strength was naturally not afraid of the cold.
"You Yaoyao, the speed of traveling is not the same as riding a horse!" Tianzun stood in front and looked at the night view on the ground in the clouds and mist.
Logically speaking, although Yaoyao is huge, it is difficult to fly with three people after all. However, Zhan Zhao and others are good at light skills, so they raise their internal strength and borrow a little bit of Yaoyao's strength, so they did not add much burden to it, and they flew almost the same as usual. It was not until Yaoyao was flying at full speed that everyone understood how fast it was. According to this posture, they would definitely arrive at Chuzhou Prefecture before dawn!
Bian Jiang winds forward on the ground like a jade belt. Because it is shining with moonlight, it becomes more obvious at night. Flying along the river, there is naturally no mistake.
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang was inexplicably shocked when he looked at rivers and lakes from such a high place for the first time.
The mountains on both sides of the river are not high, villages are everywhere, and there are lights in the towns, which are quiet and peaceful. The official roads along the Bian River are quite frequent. Looking at this, I feel like the weather is good and the country is beautiful.
The Heavenly Lord could see the gods and said to himself, "A hundred years ago, there were chaos.
Zhan Zhao approached Tianzun and asked him, "Tianzun, have you seen so many emperors, which one is the best?"
Tianzun smiled and reached out to pat Zhan Zhao on the head, "What kind of emperor is considered a good emperor?"
Zhan Zhao looked at the Heavenly Lord.
The Heavenly Lord narrowed his eyes and said, "The Demon King said, "What does it mean that he lives to 80 years old? Apart from the first twenty years of young and unrest, and the next twenty years of being stupid, and ten years of being occasionally foolish, it would be great to be able to keep a clear mind and not make wrong decisions for thirty years. Therefore, the one who can ensure peace in the world for thirty years is a good emperor. If he can still achieve prosperity and good weather, he will be considered a wise ruler. There are no need to expect too much in terms of character. Among the powerful men, there are many scumbags than saints."
"Puff." Zhan Zhao was amused by the Heavenly Lord, or the Demon King was amused.
Bai Yutang watched Tianzun and Zhan Zhao standing side by side, smiling and chatting about the Demon King, and his heart was as happy as the night wind in the sky.
...
Putting down Zhan Zhao Baiyutang and the others on their way comfortably, the people in Kaifeng Prefecture have become bookworms. After carefully studying the manuscripts left by Master Wang and Master Wenkong, they roughly got an understanding of the Eight Clan Islands.
"Master Wang said that the Eighth Clan Islands were all dead because of a tsunami." Bao Daren said, "But this is the news he got from the fishermen. The specific situation is that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the pirates who were originally rampant on the sea disappeared overnight, and since then, they have never seen people on the Eighth Clan Islands. Gradually, the strange people on the Eighth Clan Islands became legends, and the old fishermen heard their ancestors say it. But more than 60 years ago, the strange people appeared again and were witnessed by fishermen who went out of the sea. However, most of them were rumors and the details were unknown."
"During the prosperous Tang Dynasty and sixty years ago." Zhao Pu frowned, "It happened to be the accident of Xingtian and the incident sixty years ago. Is it such a coincidence?"
Gongsun hugged his arm, "Time is indeed a coincidence! Then he asked Master Kong's record, and the result of his follow-up investigation was that the group of people were ordered to check if there were any living occupants on the 'Eight Islands', but they went to three, and the other ones were temporarily unable to get close because of the strong wind and waves. In addition, they also mentioned feeding and said, 'If one ran away, the number of people was wrong, will the sea god be angry? It was said that it was because the number of people was wrong, so...'"
The following words were interrupted by the obedient person, so Master Wentian did not hear more detailed information.
The next day, the group of people went to check out several other islands, and Wentian sneaked into their boat and followed them. The scene he saw was unforgettable for the monk... He saw that the island was full of bones and bones were everywhere. It seemed that there had been a massacre, including those adults and children, and many of them had different bodies, with obvious knife injuries on their chests, necks, and they were definitely killed.
After confirming that there was no living place on the island, the monk Wentian hurried to another island. However, Monk Wentian found that there was not no one on the island, but people were all hiding. There should be authentic tunnels on the island... Of course, the monk would not remind those people in the world that had living place, but followed.
After several islands were "inspected", everyone returned to the shore and went to see someone.
The man was very mysterious. He sat in the carriage with the black curtain facing the car door, and he couldn't see it clearly.
The leader of the gangsters reported to him that there was no living person on the island and it has been confirmed.
The man asked again, "What about the sacrifice to the sea god? Nothing was born?"
The people of the Jianghu hid the news that someone had run away and only replied, "Everything goes well."
The man was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "Even if this grudge comes to an end, whether it is a traitor or a damn devil, hurry up and reincarnate and become a good child in the next life. This life can be considered as sacrificing one's life for righteousness and self-sacrificing one's own life."
Master Wentian's record was broken here. He said that he wanted to delve into it, but something suddenly happened and he couldn't leave, so he didn't check it down. Later, the people of the Jianghu and the mysterious people in the carriage had never appeared, and the clues were broken. The only thing he remembered was that one of the Jianghu people had a birthmark on his face...
Even so, Monk Wentian still vaguely felt that he had "responsibility" for the "living people" hidden on the island, so he spent the rest of his life "seizing" at the port. If those people in the martial arts world appear again, he would go and investigate again. Unfortunately, those people in the martial arts world never appeared again after that.
In addition, Wentian asked someone to investigate everywhere. After a long period of investigation, he felt that the mysterious man sitting in the carriage might be an official from the court.
Lord Bao and Zhao Pu looked at each other and thought of King Boyang for no reason.
"Strange." Gongsun said, "We investigated before, weren't the death row prisoners sent to exchange their lives for their lives? How did the sacrifice ceremony become the sea god? Feeding? Also, what's the dry bones on the eight islands? It's related to the Xingtian? Could it be that the Xingtian went to the island to destroy pirates? Then why did the ship sink on the Eight Hu Island?"
Lord Bao also frowned, "Mr. Wang's record only says that among the pirates there are people from the eight tribes of the islands, but aren't all of the eight tribes of the islands of the eight tribes of the islands of the earth?"
"Yes." Gongsun nodded, "Master Wentian said that all the sizes of dry bones should be killed collectively."
"Is it not just that I slaughtered an Ehu Island, but there is something else? Master Wentian saw the bones. How many years ago was it killed?" Lord Bao frowned, "And Ehu Island is not one of the eight tribe islands."
Gongsun also nodded, "The direction is not right, but the distance is not far away."
Zhao Pu asked Ye Zhiqiu to bring Luo Yuanluo Ying and his two siblings.
Neither brother nor brother had heard of the Eight Clan Islands, but Luo Ying said that standing on the highest mountain on the Eagle Island and looking to the west, you can indeed see several islands not far apart. She also asked her grandfather what island it was and if there were anyone 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 in his words.
Zhao Pu wrote a letter and asked Zheying to enter the palace and hand it over to the emperor. After that, he sent someone to take Yu Su out of the prison.
Yu Su was also lit with acupoints and was wearing shackles. Compared to the dissatisfaction of Yu Tianbao and Fang Xinglu, Yu Su seemed to be in a depressed mood. The old man was older and had a face that was as beautiful as a dish. Bao Zheng was a little worried if his body could not stand it. However, Zhao Pu shook his head... The conditions in Kaifeng Prefecture's prison are good enough. This old man is good at kung fu and can he get sick just because he squats in the prison for time? It's really sick, it's also a heart disease.
Yu Su arrived at Mr. Bao's study room. At a glance, he saw the white mask placed on the table and subconsciously gasped.
Zhao Pu looked at him, "Did you see the people who are going to kill you today?"
Yu Su's face turned a little pale again.
Zhao Pu smiled, "You didn't expect that there would be a day of retribution?"
After being silent for a long time, he looked up and said, "If you really want to be retribution, it shouldn't be me..."
"Yes, you just used someone's money to do things for others and check if you have any survivors, but to put it bluntly, it is also called helping the evil."
Zhao Pu said a word, Yu Su's face turned pale, and she opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhao Pu, obviously surprised that Zhao Pu knew so much.
Zhao Pu actually used the sporadic contents of the manuscript of Wentian, "But how do you calculate the Ehu Island?"
Yu Su was having some difficulty breathing at this moment, just said, "I told Tianbao not to participate... But he just didn't listen. He was forced to do so after all, and he was forced to do so. He had a wrong injustice and debt. Everything was the fault of your Zhao royal family and the King of Boyang!"
To be continued...
