208. Luofeng Island(2/2)
"In the period of the Min Dynasty and the Wen Dynasty, people discovered that there was a ghost town in Shu called Fengdu. It was built by the Taoist Taiyi Tianzun who rode the divine beast Nine Spirits Yuansheng under his seat and became the leader of Qinghua."
"This nine-spirited lion is very powerful. Its roar can open any door to the Nether World at any place. Taiyi Tianzun powerfully descended into the Netherworld and incorporated the original four ghost emperors into five ghost emperors. With the Great Emperor Fengdu
As the Lord of the Netherworld, he evolved into the underworld of Fengdu."
Chang Zhou was stunned and asked: "Is it so complicated?"
Hu Jinzi laughed: "These are only the three most famous hells. There are also Buddhist hells, the Jiuhan hell outside our pass, etc. If we talk about it in detail, there will be more!"
Changzhou said: "There are very few rumors about the underworld on our sea. There is only one, and that is Luofeng Island!"
Yun Song asked: "Luofeng Island is the place where the underworld is rumored to be on the sea? What does that place look like? It is gloomy all year round, with dark clouds covering the sun, and no living person is seen?"
Changzhou shook his head and said: "It's not that mysterious. I have been to Luofeng Island several times. The island is actually very close to the mainland..."
"It's just rumors." Ci Tong said impatiently, "We have all been to Luofeng Island. Many years ago, there were no big ships that could not go out to the open sea, so people living nearby thought that Luofeng Island was the end of the earth."
"Countless people have died since ancient times, and the size of the land is countless. So where did the dead people go? Where must the underworld be located to accommodate so many people who have died in all dynasties?"
"Because the ocean is vast and boundless, people say that the underworld is in the sea. So if the underworld is in the sea, where is the gate to the underworld?"
"As a semi-island at the end of the land, deep into the ocean, Luofeng Island naturally assumes the role of the gate to the underworld."
"Actually, they are all fake. How can Luofeng Island be the gate of the underworld? There are many people living on the island, and there are even many talents. For example, the marshal Wei Tianzi who is currently leading the army in the East China Sea is Luo Feng.
Island people!”
Changzhou sneered and said: "Is Emperor Wei a talented person with a chicken neck? He is ruthless and lucky, so he led some pirates to occupy that area along the coast."
Ci Tong sighed and said, "You don't care about this. Anyway, I have soldiers, guns and boats now. I am awesome!"
Yunsong said: "Is there anything weird about Luofeng Island?"
Changzhou immediately said: "Yes, there are many people living on Luofeng Island, but there are no fish in the sea, so the residents there have been living in poverty. Perhaps when Master Ninth heard this, he would ask, why is that so?
Will anyone else live on that island?"
"Because it's safe!"
"There are no fish in the waters around Luofeng Island, but there are ghost ships drifting there from time to time. Therefore, officials of all dynasties are unwilling to take care of this place. The residents here are all poor people, so no matter how chaotic the current situation is, no one comes to burn it.
Kill and loot..."
"I'm going too far," Ci Tong interrupted him, "There are two strange things around Luofeng Island. One is that there are no living creatures, and the other is that there are ghost ships and water ghosts line up from the sea to the island and then disappear.
"
Yunsong pondered and nodded: "Then let's go and take a look."
They weighed anchor and set off, and the wave-riding boat sailed across the sea.
Luofeng Island is relatively far away from Tuowei Island. They need to continue driving south for two days to get there. And this is because the wave-riding boat is faster than the ghost boat. If it is an ordinary boat, it may take four or five days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, they also ran for four or five days.
The wave-riding boat had only been out for an hour when the long boat shook the rudder hard and the entire rudder suddenly broke off!
Everyone was confused at that time!
This is driving with the steering wheel out!
Chang Zhou looked at the broken shaft of the rudder and shouted: "How is this possible? How can I have the strength to break the rudder off! Moreover, and - this section is wrong!"
Yun Song went up to take a look and saw that the rudder shaft was broken and the wood had turned into powder.
He suddenly remembered the scene where Wu Yingluo hit the rudder of the ship with her palm!
He didn't think much about it at the time, he just thought that Wu Yingluo was moody and angry at him, but now it turns out that this bitch was playing tricks on him!
Fortunately, the wave-riding boat is powered by water ghosts and water monsters, and Yunsong can inform them of the direction by entering the water to adjust the direction of the ship.
In this way, the boating efficiency will be lower, but at least the basic boating ability can be guaranteed.
After driving hard all the way, they finally reached their destination.
When they arrived at Luofeng Island, they encountered the first snow in early winter.
Snowflakes fell, dyeing Luofeng Island white.
This is not an isolated overseas island. It is next to the mainland. The island is a reef extending from the mainland.
The part connecting the land and the island is relatively low and can only be exposed during low tide. Once the tide rises, it will be covered. At this time, Luofeng Island will be isolated by the sea water and become an island.
Yunsong was not in a hurry to get to know Luofeng Island. He quickly docked the boat at the small pier on the shore and then hurriedly got off the boat to find something to eat.
All the fish, shrimps and crabs he ate at sea these days made him miss meat and vegetables so much.
Luofu Island is densely packed with small shabby houses, but there are not many houses on the shore. As Brother Changzhou said, this place is lacking in materials, the people are poor, and it is not an important transportation thoroughfare, so the surrounding area has no economic vitality.
Of course there are restaurants on the shore, but these restaurants all use fish, shrimps, crabs, shells and sea vegetables to cook their dishes, and even the buns are stuffed with sea vegetables.
Finally, they met a family who raised sheep. They raised two sheep in total. Yun Song paid for them and bought them all. They will eat mutton stew today!
The iron pot is set up, there are condiments on the boat, sprinkle onions, ginger and pepper, and the rest is to throw in large pieces of mutton and mutton chops to stew.
When killing the sheep, the sheep's blood was released separately and collected in a large wooden basin. Put salt in the wooden basin, randomly fold a willow branch in your hand, and the steaming sheep's blood flowed into the wooden basin, and then poured it into the wooden basin.
The branches are constantly stirring.
The sheep's blood was solidified, so Yunsong asked the mountain gourd to cut it into pieces. This thing can be eaten boiled or stir-fried. They happened to have a lot of pepper on the boat. Some people along the coast grew coriander, so they exchanged the sheep's head for the coriander to fry.
Sheep blood.
Snowflakes are falling.
The sheep soup was boiling in the iron pot, and the steam was rising like a long dragon. The snowflakes on the pot could not fall down at all, and turned into water droplets while they were still in the air.
The delicious smell of mutton and sheep heads came out, and some children with runny noses and black faces climbed over the courtyard wall to look at it with saliva.
Yun Song seemed to feel pity for them.
But he couldn't help it. It was just two sheep. There were thirty men here. They couldn't share enough for themselves. They had to use sheep soup to make cakes and eat them to fill their stomachs. How could they share it with the onlookers?
child?
However, they have a lot of pancakes on board. I bought these in Yongcheng. They are cold-water pancakes. They are as dry and hard as the lid of a pot. You have to soak them in boiling water for a long time every time you eat them. They are very strong and not easy to rot.
bad.
Yun Song brought a bag of noodles down and distributed them to them.
The children each had a piece of cake. After getting the cake, they quickly stuffed it into their mouths. There was a crunching sound, and the dough actually collapsed when they bit into it!
They ate the cakes and left, and soon more people came. This time, not only the children but also the adults holding the children, crowded outside the door and watched them eagerly.
Mangzi waved his hand and said, "What are you doing? Do you think we are good people giving out porridge?"
He was going to drive people away, but Yun Song stopped him and sighed: "They just want a bite to eat. How much food is left on the ship? Bring it all down and share it with them. We can just exchange food on the ship."
The big elephant promised to take people to deal with it.
Yun Song knew that these people were not here to take advantage. They were all skinny and skinny. Some children under the age of 18 were skinny. You must know that children at this time can become fat even if they drink milk. They are so skinny.
, must be a problem of extreme lack of energy intake.
The family that sold them the sheep was considered a wealthy local family, and the head of the family was named Yu Jinhai.
When he saw Yun Song's kindness in distributing food to the local people, he came up to express his gratitude and repeatedly called him a good person.
Yun Song waved his hands and said, "I'm giving out food not only out of kindness, but also because I have something to ask you."
Yu Jinhai said: "Good man, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask me. Whatever we know, we can tell you everything!"
Yunsong asked: "Do ghost ships occasionally appear on the sea outside you?"
This is obviously a taboo subject.
Yu Jinhai, who was originally smiling, suppressed his smile, but still nodded.
Yunsong said: "Is there such a ship? Its bow has a spiral horn, and the bow is carved like a dragon's head..."
"Yes." Yu Jinhai said crisply, "There are women on it, and there are many half-grown children."
Yunsong was overjoyed when he heard this.
This is the Qinglong River where Xu Fu was. Tian Fang once said that they indeed took three hundred boys and girls out to sea, so there should indeed be many young people on the ship.
At this time, the mutton was cooked, and Hu Jinzi brought him a bowl. The bowl was filled with mutton hind leg meat, which was the largest piece of meat and tasted the most enjoyable.
He handed the meat directly to Yu Jinhai. Yu Jinhai was stunned for a moment, then swallowed his saliva and quickly took it.
There was no need for Yun Song to ask any more questions now. He began to introduce the general profile of Qinglong Hu while he was eating quietly.
