【873】The Thao Spirit pushes the boat!
After twists and turns, after about three hours of flight, we finally landed smoothly at Taoyuan Airport in Baodao.
Just like the treatment we received at Shuangliu Airport, as soon as we arrived, staff from the Religious Affairs Bureau came to pick us up and arranged all our itineraries in advance.
Due to time constraints, I didn’t actually care about this at first. I just wanted to rush from the airport to the dock so that I could take a boat out to sea and go to the legendary Penglai Island!
"Wang Lin!"
However, as soon as I got off the plane, a familiar voice made me stunned on the spot. Then my face showed a look of surprise, and I subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
"Brother Xu!"
I never expected that the person who came to receive us this time would be my old acquaintance Xu Jingyang? "Why are you here?"
A flash of surprise flashed in my eyes, and I couldn't help but hurriedly approached him and gave him a big bear hug: "Long time no see!"
"Haha, good boy, I haven't seen you for half a year and I thought you had forgotten me!"
Xu Jingyang was naturally very happy to meet again after a long separation. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he led us straight away from the airport. Only then did I learn that the reason why he appeared here was also the old director and Deng Xiaoping.
The old man arranged it deliberately.
After all, Baodao is the sphere of influence of the "Tianshi Mansion", and because of some previous grievances, Baodao "Tianshi Mansion" and I have long been at loggerheads. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, we will reduce some unnecessary
Trouble, of course they have to send a capable general to stay here.
In the entire religious bureau, the younger generation with whom I have the best relationship is undoubtedly Xu Jingyang! The brotherhood between us is obvious to all, so he naturally became the best candidate to stay here and wait for me.
But in this way, he, like Xia Wuren, lost the opportunity to immediately enter the "Tianchi Secret Realm" to find opportunities.
As the saying goes, "It's easy to get things done with acquaintances." We were talking and laughing all the way, and before we knew it, we had arrived at the pier.
And I originally thought that we were on a helicopter and a special plane along the way. When we went out to sea, not to mention a cruise ship, it had to be a yacht? Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the car, Xu Jingyang pointed directly at the boat next to a cargo ship.
The small wooden fishing boat said: "This is it, let's take it out to sea and go to Penglai!"
Nani?
As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded on the spot. I couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, thinking, are you kidding me? We are going to sea now. You want us to go to sea in this small fishing boat?
The sea is so windy and rough that one wave may be enough to overturn this small fishing boat. Do you want us to swim to Penglai Island?
Unfortunately, Xu Jingyang was busy communicating with the owner of the small fishing boat at this time and completely ignored my shocked expression.
So, I quickly glanced directly at Xia Wuren next to me. The strange thing was that there was no surprise in his facial expression, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
Seeing his calm expression, I suddenly became a little anxious and asked, "Are we really going to sea in this little old fishing boat?"
"Shh!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Wuren was startled and hurriedly made a silence gesture to me, then pulled me aside.
At the same time, I also noticed that the owner of the fishing boat looked at me with unkind eyes. Xu Jingyang, who was next to me, quickly bowed and apologized to the owner of the fishing boat. His attitude was so respectful!
"Hey?"
This is strange to me. Judging from the appearance of the owner of the fishing boat, he is clearly just an ordinary person. Xu Jingyang is the dignified director of the Qianyang Branch. In ancient times, he was a feudal official. Do you respect him so much?
"You brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Before I could react, Xia Wuren quickly lowered his voice and said: "Do you think it's so easy to find the Pengpai Immortal Island? Don't look at me. I have stayed in that ghost place for nearly ten years. But if I don't have experienced people,
The sailors took us out to sea, but I’m afraid even I may not be able to find the place..."
"Yeah?"
Seeing his serious look, I was a little doubtful, thinking that since even Xia Wuren, an "old driver", couldn't find the place, could the owner of the fishing boat find a way to find it?
However, since even Xia Wuren is so cautious, I naturally can't say anything more.
He nodded, closed his mouth wisely, glanced at the owner of the fishing boat apologetically, and then quietly waited at the edge of the pier, waiting for Xu Jingyang to slowly communicate with the other party.
After communicating for more than ten minutes, I saw Xu Jingyang take out a large wad of banknotes from his pocket and hand it to the owner of the fishing boat, and the other party reluctantly nodded.
Xu Jingyang looked happy, and after thanking him a lot, he hurriedly waved to Xia Wuren and me: "Get on the boat, let's set off immediately!"
"call……"
Have we finally reached an agreement?
Taking a deep breath, I didn't hesitate any longer and quickly jumped onto the fishing boat with Xia Wuren. As soon as I stood firm, I was immediately hit by a disgusting and pungent fish smell.
But after Xia Wuren's instructions just now, I didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so under the guidance of Xu Jingyang, I quickly got into the narrow cabin below!
The fishing boat weighed anchor and slowly sailed out of the dock. As soon as I entered the cabin, I immediately set up a soundproof array and asked, "What is going on? We can't take a bigger boat."
Going to sea?"
"It's not a big problem..."
Xia Wuren shook his head subconsciously and said solemnly: "Don't you see the extraordinary thing about this fishing boat until now?"
"Um?"
I frowned slightly, and I couldn't help but take a closer look around me. This fishing boat was in tatters, almost scrapped, and I didn't think there was anything extraordinary about this fishing boat?
"Um?"
However, I quickly came to my senses and couldn't help but rub the wooden boards on the cabin with my hands. Then my eyes lit up: "Is this a locust tree that has been growing for hundreds of years?"
"Haha... not too stupid!"
While smiling slightly, Xia Wuren couldn't help but also check the layout of the cabin, but he was not interested in explaining too much to me.
However, Xu Jingyang quickly took over the conversation and said: "The sea area to Penglai is quite special. Not only are there very ferocious sea beasts along the way, but you also have to pass through a restricted area!"
"It is said that in the forbidden area, humans are not allowed to take any action, otherwise it will cause unreasonable disasters. In the 1990s, some people did not believe in evil and drove a cruise ship directly into the forbidden area at maximum power, trying to cross the forbidden area, and then disappeared inexplicably.
! It wasn’t until half a year later that someone discovered the cruise ship in nearby waters! The cruise ship was intact, but all the people inside died mysteriously, with hideous faces, and turned into mummies!”
"Mummy?"
Before Xu Jingyang could finish his words, I couldn't help but interrupt him again, and said with a look of surprise on my face: "In the vast sea, the most indispensable thing is water vapor. Are you sure they will all turn into
Mummy?"
"Of course!"
Xu Jingyang nodded with certainty, and then said: "This is the information I found in the files of the Religious Affairs Bureau. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. In the end, even people from the 'Tianshi Mansion' were alerted and went to
We conducted an investigation in this sea area! The result was the same, and we even lost an expert in the realm of refining gods and transforming into emptiness."
"Later, it was said that top experts from the 'Tianshi Mansion' took action, and they returned to Treasure Island alive, but were seriously injured! In the end, Treasure Island authorities ordered to block the news, and at the same time turned the sea area into a restricted area, and strictly ordered nearby fishermen not to do so.
Get close, otherwise if you are in danger, you will not get any assistance from the Baodao authorities!"
“Holy shit, with such evil nature, even the awesome treasure island ‘Tianshi Mansion’ can’t do anything to them?”
Hearing what he said, I was really shocked, but I quickly thought of another question, so I asked: "Then why can such a small fishing boat pass through unharmed?"
"It's not 100% possible to pass safely..."
Xu Jingyang shook his head, and then said with a solemn face: "In fact, there are also certain risks, which is why the owner of the fishing boat was so hesitant just now!"
"According to my guess, the answer should lie on these century-old locust trees. Locust trees are yin and are most loved by spirits. Therefore, once such a ship approaches, the evil spirits or water ghosts in the restricted area will generally not
They will attack! And if you can give them certain benefits, they will even help push the boat, so nearby fishermen generally call it 'ghost push boat'."
Ghost pushing the boat?
Fortunately, we are all practitioners, otherwise, just hearing this would be a bit creepy, let alone going out to sea on a ghost ship.
In this case, the owner of this fishing boat should also be a capable person. Otherwise, how could ordinary people come up with such a way to pass through the restricted area?
But what I don’t understand is, since they knew that the sea area was so dangerous, why did they insist on going there? And they finally came up with such a method?
Such a method obviously cannot be figured out overnight. Without the guidance of an expert, I am afraid it will take several generations to gradually figure it out...
I don’t think they are willing to take such a big risk just to go out to sea to catch a few fish, or just for money!
After all, the vast sea is boundless and fishing is not allowed in that place? Why do we have to go to that deadly restricted area?
"Nothing surprising!"
As if he saw what I was thinking, Xia Wuren next to me couldn't help but suddenly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "As far as I know, anyone who does this business is usually from Baodao called the 'Shao tribe'
ethnic minorities. Their population is only two
Three hundred people, in the early years, mainly relied on fishing for a living! When the Jiang family separated the treasure island, a large influx of foreign people, coupled with the increasingly serious environmental pollution, forced them to go to farther seas to fish.
Only then can we barely feed our family!”
"Of course, this is only secondary. After all, with the current economic development, there are only a few hundred people like them. What can they do to support their families?"
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Wuren then said in detail: "The reason why they continue to fish through the restricted area is actually because of their ancestral beliefs. There is a very special kind of eel growing near the sea area of Penglai. This fish is similar to 'Shao'
