Chapter 582 Fairy Island
When the alchemist sect began to deal with the imperial court carefully, Wu Mian had given up looking for reverse scales in the cave not far from the sect. He searched for a whole day and searched through almost every scale on the surface of the white dragon, but did not find what he was looking for. Finally, under Gui Bugui's persuasion, the white-haired man finally nodded and agreed to find the location of the next map.
If it weren't for the grudge between Wentianlou and the alchemist, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui would have already started to the next map. In short, they had already set off a few years ago. However, their itinerary was a bit troublesome. At this time, Wu Mian said that the address marked on this map was different from the other maps, and was on an isolated island overseas.
In order to untie the seal on his body as soon as possible, Gui Bugui got dozens of charts from where he asked Wu Mian to identify where they were going. Unexpectedly, after reading it, the white-haired man shook his head, indicating that there was no map he remembered above.
Thanks to the limited number of sea charts at hand, Wu Mian remembers Langya, the place where the sea crossed the map. At that moment, Gui Bugui didn't prepare any sea charts, so he took Wu Mian, Bai Wuqiu, Ren San and four others to Langya. He still kept Qiu Li to guard the cave. However, when they went out this time, the black cat rushed out of Bai Wuqiu's cave room and rushed into Erlangzi's arms and refused to come down. Since the dragon corpse was placed in the cave, the black cat seemed to be frightened and said that it would come out of Bai Wuqiu's cave room. Now that he saw that his master was about to leave, it was as crazy and he must leave with them.
Fortunately, it was just a black cat, so Bai Wuqiu didn't take up any place to hold it. It was only when he left the cave, he found that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers had already guarded the important way to the Fangshi Sect. Fortunately, their cave was not within the blockade. Although these officers and soldiers looked at the strangeness of these four people, no one came to interrogate them.
Langya was not far from their cave, so a few people went to the nearby town shop to buy carriages. While heading towards Langya, they also began to buy some items needed to cross the sea. Gui Bugui had an experience of transitioning the sea in his early years. The old guy knew that some things were inconvenient to buy in the coastal areas, so it would be better to buy them all in the inland.
Three days later, their carriage finally arrived in Langya. After finding an inn to stay, Gui Bugui began to find nearby fishermen who had been out of the sea for many years and inquire about the overseas island. The name of the island marked on the map was Baidao. I thought there must be fishermen nearby who knew the whereabouts of Baidao Island. However, after asking three or five, it was a fisherman, but there was no news about this Baidao Island. Finally, even Erduo Island and Son Island were asked, but no one knew any islands related to Baidao, Er, Er.
Seeing that no one knew about Baidao, Wu Mian finally found silk and personally drew a chart on it for the fishermen to identify it. He thought that someone would recognize it now, but what he didn't expect was that after seeing it, more than a dozen fishermen who could look at the charts kept shaking their heads.
An old fisherman who had just passed his 60th birthday had worked as a naval army under the command of the King of Langya. Even he shook his head when he saw it: "Did the masters remember wrongly? The old man I went out to sea with my family at the age of nine, entered the navy of Langya at the age of fifteen, and almost became the captain of the navy at the age of thirty. The sea surface of the fifty miles around Langya could be closed and traveled back and forth. You are not the chart of our Langya. Otherwise, the men would try their luck in other places?"
After hearing the old fisherman's words, Gui Bugui sneaked into Wu Mian, who was still mean. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he smiled and took out a small golden croaker from his arms. He stuffed it into the old fisherman's hand and said, "Look at it carefully. This chart was left more than a hundred years ago. It may no longer be called a bait island, but the chart will not be wrong."
For the sake of the golden turtle, the old fisherman looked at the chart again. However, after reading it, he shook his head and said, "Old man, when I was still a baby, I heard from the old man in the village that the Dragon Prince was angry and sank several islands more than a hundred years ago. This master, if you may not be lucky, this bait island had already sunk to the bottom of the sea at that time."
"Sinking the sea... No, even if the isolated islands overseas sink, our Erhai Lake will not sink." Gui Bugui smiled and put away the chart immediately, preparing to try his luck in a fishing village.
However, his words made the old fisherman misinformed, thinking that it was a hint that he would return the gold turtle just now. The old fisherman was reluctant to let go of the gold. He immediately slapped his thigh and said to Gui Bugui: "Old man, although I can't tell where the bait island is, there is an uncle of seventy-seven at home. A hundred miles is his longest life. When he was young, he went to sea to a sea area a hundred miles away. If he couldn't say it, don't inquire within a radius of hundreds of miles. After one hundred miles, someone may know the whereabouts of the bait island." After that, the old fisherman patted the gold turtle in his arms, meaning that I have tried my best. If I can't find out again, the gold will not be returned.
At this moment, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui was taken to his home by an old fisherman. His uncle lost his wife in middle age, and even though he had three sons, he did not die well. One was arrested by the court and died on the battlefield. The remaining two sons encountered a storm when they went to sea, and they did not even come back with the ship. Fortunately, the local folk customs are simple, and the old man's brothers have not separated. Now the nephew and nephew and grandson take turns to take care of them. Although they are already seventy-seven, their legs and feet are still very tough and clear.
When he heard his nephew ask him about the whereabouts of Baidao, the old man kept shaking his head and scolding his nephew: "You are over 60 years old. Don't you know how many islands are there in the sea here? What about Baidao and the island is not the island in our sea at all."
After hearing his uncle's words, the old fisherman turned to Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others sighed, and said, "You guys have heard it, right? My uncle said that if there is no, it will be gone. You should try your luck a hundred miles away."
However, Gui Bugui still did not give up. He took out the chart depicted by Wu Mian and placed it in front of the old man. Then he smiled and said, "Little brother, look at this. Do you recognize the island on the chart?"
When the old man heard someone calling him little brother, the old man looked at Gui Bugui with some displeasure. After seeing the old man clearly, he still disapproved of this title: You are polite enough if you don’t call him a baby.
When he saw the island on the chart, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this the Immortal Island? Why is it called Bait Island again..."
With a word, the old fisherman and Gui Bugui breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, the old guy came forward and said to the old man: "What kind of island he is from? You have been there?"
"Go up? That's where the gods live. How dare I, an old mortal man, go up?" The old man smiled bitterly, asked his nephew to ask for a bowl of water to drink, and moistened his throat, and continued, "When I was still young, I went out to sea with the adults at home to fish. That year was a strange thing, and even the fishers who went into the sea to fish in the village could not catch fish. My father ruthlessly took me and several of my uncles out of the sea. Finally, he drove a boat for nearly a hundred miles before he found the fish. You didn't see that, the fish were densely packed and they couldn't count them. They didn't have to go down the net, but they just took the fish. Finally, they all rushed to the boat, and we returned.
