Three hundred and fiftieth chapters: Bone erosion

Yuan Guocai said seriously: "Soul-Seeing Island is thousands of miles away. To go to Soul-Seeing Island, you need to travel through mountains and rivers and cross the ocean. There are inevitably some difficulties and obstacles along the way, and it is even more unpredictable in the vast sea. Going to Soul-Seeing Island to find treasure is an important task and a hard work. I will not trust people with insufficient abilities. However, General Jiang has a different ability than ordinary people, and his Lion Flame Army is the first army of divine lions that I have appointed. I believe that if you let General Jiang lead a team of elite soldiers to Soul-Seeing Island, you will be able to complete the task successfully!"

With no choice, Jiang Lie had to respond: "I will receive the order!"

No matter how far he was sent to perform the difficult task, Jiang Lie would not be rejected. However, Yuan Guocai's point of view made Jiang Lie feel unhappy. The key is that Jiang Lie believes that Yuan Guocai's heart is punishable. Yuan Guocai's original intention must not be to save the famine in Liji Kingdom, but to collude with Yang Nengyan and find a high-sounding excuse to let Jiang Lie die.

Yuan Guocai stood up and walked and said, "To set out to Soul-Surf Island, you must make sufficient preparations in advance, sharpening your knife will not delay the chopping of wood. Jiang Dashen, it should be enough to prepare for one month, right? Within this month, you will carefully plan who you want to bring, how many people you want, and what help the court needs, you must make perfect arrangements. You can just ask what you need. The ship is needed and how much food you need, no matter what you need, the court will provide you with! If you have any questions, we can discuss slowly, and you can come to me to discuss at any time. After a month, you must set off and head towards Soul-Surf Island!"

"I obey the order!" Jiang Lie could only respectfully agree to this task that sounded like a lot of misfortune.

After resigning from the court, Jiang Lie rushed to Boxian Pavilion directly. He had to find out whether the so-called "Bone-Erosion Ambition" was real or was fabricated by Yang Nengyan.

As soon as he arrived at Boxian Pavilion, Jiang Lie greeted Zhang Youli: "Long time no see!"

"A rare guest!" Zhang Youli smiled, "Marrior Jiang is a rare guest! Why? I have finished reading the book? Are you going to borrow a new book?"

Zhang Youli is a retired official and is still working in the palace, but he does not need to participate in the morning court, so he naturally does not know that Jiang Lie was sent by Yuan Guocai to Soul-Seeing Island to hunt for treasure.

Jiang Lie shook his head: "I am busy every day, and I have no time to read books at all. I am here to find you and ask you about something. Is there a book in Boxian Pavilion called "Bone-Erosion Ambition"?"

Zhang Youli knew the location of all the books in the entire Boxian Pavilion, so he immediately nodded: "Yes, do you want to borrow "Bone-Erosion Ambition"?"

"Not that, I just want to see and understand." Jiang Lie responded.

Zhang Youli took a staggering step: "Let's come with the old man."

While speaking, Zhang Youli took Jiang Lie to a bookshelf, twitched it casually, pulled out a book that was not too thin or too thick, and handed it to Jiang Lie.

Jiang Lie took the book and looked at it for a while. He saw four big words printed on the cover of the book - Bones and Ambitions.

What Yang Nengyan said is true. The author of "Bone-Eating Ambition" is Anonymous. Jiang Lie turned several pages, but he did not find the author's signature.

Jiang Lie asked: "I heard that this book records a place called Soul-Shock Island, which says that there is a particularly magical crop on Soul-Shock Island, which means that no matter how harsh the conditions are, they will almost never die. Is this true?"

Zhang Youli frowned: "According to the records in this book, there are indeed such species on Soul-Surfing Island. However, the name of this book is all called "Zhiyi", and what it records may not be a real thing. It is more like a novel, a novel of monsters and monsters, which specializes in some monsters and monsters. You can open a page and take a look at it casually and you will find that this book is completely full of absurd words."

So, Jiang Lie casually opened a page, which happened to be the beginning of a chapter, called "Three-headed and Eight-Eyed Monster, Jinshan often appears."

After a rough look, Jiang Lie found that this chapter describes a monster on Jinshan Mountain, with three heads, each with two eyes on its head, and two eyes on its chest, so it is called a three-headed and eight-eyed monster. This three-headed and eight-eyed monster may appear in the morning or at night, and may appear at any time. Once the three-headed and eight-eyed monster appears, it will suck human blood. Those captured by the three-headed and eight-eyed monster will only be left with an empty skin without blood and will be thrown into the wilderness.

This chapter is written vividly and fascinatingly, and is written like a real one. If Jiang Lie had not been to Jinshan, he might have believed the content of the description in this chapter.

The name of this book is like "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but the description is similar to "Shan Hai Jing". The three-headed and eight-eyed monster is considered a relatively normal monster in "Bone Erosion" and the rest of the monsters are not the most weirdest, only stranger. In terms of the weirdness of their appearance, in front of most monsters in "Bone Erosion", even the classic six-legged four-winged and faceless chaos in "Shan Hai Jing" or the classic two-tailed monster with the bottom of the Ultra series, they have to be reluctant to give up.

In Jiang Lie's opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, the monsters in "Bone Erosion" were all fabricated out of thin air by the author with his rich imagination. After all, Jiang Lie has seen the demons in this world and the dragon clan in the sea. Tiger-like spirits like Hou Weilan are no different from ordinary humans in human form, and they will not look very terrifying, let alone have one more head or one more pair of eyes.

Similarly, 80% of the magical crops on Soul-Surfing Island were made up randomly by this anonymous author.

A fabricated novel of monsters can be used by Yang Nengyan to make a big fuss.

However, all this is just Jiang Lie's personal thoughts, and it cannot be concluded that there is no such magical crop on Soul-Search Island. If Jiang Lie swears that there is no such magical crop on Soul-Search Island, it can only be slandered by Yuan Guocai and Yang Nengyan as a resistant to the order, fearing death, and not having a big enough pattern, and virtue is not worthy of position.

Zhang Youli asked: "Why are you looking for this book? Does it have anything to do with Soul-Surfing Island?"

Since Zhang Youli asked, Jiang Lie prepared everything that happened during the morning court.

Zhang Youli looked around for a while and whispered: "Isn't this nonsense?"

Jiang Lie shrugged: "Isn't it nonsense?"

Zhang Youli is not young anymore, but his mind is not confused at all. After Yuan Liaochen passed away, Ke Linling was taken away by Yuan Guocai, and Zhang Youli discovered something was wrong. So the old man was very clear-headed and his conversation was never vague.

"This is not a conspiracy, it is an open conspiracy." Zhang Youli said deeply, "Whether the Liji Kingdom dies or live, the emperor cares? I am afraid that the emperor will wish that the Liji Kingdom will perish as soon as possible. The so-called magical crops are found, haha, it is just an excuse. This is deliberately targeting you, it is not right to go, and it is not right to not go. If you go, there will be many good fortunes and bad fortunes and bad fortunes. If you don't go, you will resist the order. This is a dilemma. Jiang Dashu, you are being punished."

Jiang Lie whispered: "You are so knowledgeable? You can tell that it is a conspiracy? I don't know, but Yuan Guocai sent me this task in public, and I had no way to refuse, so I could only follow the order. I felt that there would be no such magical crops in the world, so I came to find this "Bone-Erosion" to see what kind of bowl of cake this book is."

Zhang Youli sighed: "Soul-Seeing Island... According to legend, there are many fairies on Soul-Seeing Island. Many people who have been voyages went to Soul-Seeing Island and were driven back by the fairies on Soul-Seeing Island. Those who can be driven back are considered lucky. They have bad luck and have no chance to be driven back. They are directly eaten by the fairies on Soul-Seeing Island. Although this is not recorded in "Bone-Eating Zhiyi", after hundreds of years of word-of-mouth transmission, many people have heard of the fairies on Soul-Seeing Island."

Jiang Lie had dealt with fairies and even turned enemies into friends with fairies, so he was not too afraid of fairies, but he had greater concerns.

"I think it would be a good fortune if I could arrive at Soul-Surfing Island safely." Jiang Lie sighed and said, "The ship was arranged by Yuan Guocai. If he arranged a broken ship for me, water leaked halfway and sank the ship in the vast sea, it would be too unfair to die. It would be easy for him to arrange a broken ship for me. In this way, my destiny would be held in Yuan Guocai's hands."

"Impossible." Zhang Youli shook his head, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be able to go to Soul-Surfing Island. Even if there is any accident, it will only be a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster."

Jiang Lie cheered up and asked, "How do you say this? I hope to hear it carefully."

Zhang Youli said seriously: "The ship you want to go to Soul-Surfing Island was arranged by the emperor, and the ship sinks halfway, it must be a problem with the ship. This shows that the emperor has arranged a ship with problems for you, which is what a three-year-old child wants. The emperor attaches great importance to public opinion. If the people are discussing your death of a shipwreck, it means that the people all think that the emperor murdered you. Then, the image of the emperor in the hearts of the people will collapse. The emperor's people's hearts will easily gradually decrease. Give you a broken ship, kill you, and then lose a large number of people's hearts? This is a huge deal, and the emperor will not do this."

Jiang Lie suddenly realized: "Only I arrived at Soul-Survey Island safely and was eaten by the demons on Soul-Survey Island, then the emperor would not bear any responsibility. The responsibility lies with the demons, and it is difficult to take revenge. This is the classic, wise killing people with a knife."

Zhang Youli nodded: "That's true. I Laoji's opinion, after you walk away, you will find a safe island, park the boat there, and then stay on the island for a few days, or months, and stay as long as you want. The time is almost over, and you can prepare to come back. After you come back, you say you have been searching on the Soul-Surfing Island for a long time, but you haven't found that magical crop. After all, in fact, there may not be that kind of thing."

"But..." Zhang Youli continued, "Although Soul-Surfing Island probably won't have that kind of magical crop, it may have other treasures. If you are willing to take risks, you can also go to Soul-Surfing Island to see it. Of course, this is what I thought of according to folk legends. Hundreds of years ago, there was a fire-controlling man on the Bone Erosion Continent, named Chen Sanjiu, who was the most popular bone-controlling man. Legend has it that Chen Sanjiu spent the rest of his life on Soul-Surfing Island. As the greatest Fire-Surfinger in history, he may have left some treasures on Soul-Surfing Island. I don't know whether the legend is true or not. It is also possible, if you believe it, there is, if you don't believe it, there is no."

Jiang Lie widened his eyes: "The first knight in the bone, the fire-hardening man, Chen Sanjiu? This is the first time I have heard this legend... If there is indeed such a thing... there may be treasures on the Soul-Surveying Island..."
