Chapter 418 (1/2)
Thirty years ago, my five or eight year old sister was chosen as a sacrifice to the monster.
The closest sister was sacrificed, and the old five's originally cheerful character changed at that time. He hated monsters and the person who chose his sister as a sacrifice. That person was the cultivator found outside by Tianxin sect in order to subdue monsters.
Twenty years ago, Tianxin sect finally asked a supreme elder of Kunlun sect to come to Wufeng island to calm the storm of monsters eating people. However, the hatred of the old five towards foreign practitioners has not been alleviated at all! In particular, he was reprimanded by meow and guzheng on the shore today. New and old resentments broke out together. Finally, he made a stupid thing to want guzheng and meow to be buried in the fish's belly.
After listening to the old five, Gu Zheng didn't embarrass him. After asking him some questions, he asked him to continue driving the speedboat.
”It's very kind of you, sir,” meow whispered.
”What do you say?” Gu Zheng asked.
”If it were me, I wouldn't let him go so easily.” meow said angrily.
”You still have a lot to learn in dealing with the world. Killing too much is not a good thing. It will encourage your cruelty, especially killing some people who don't die can make your heart numb and cold.”
”Just like today's incident, this old five is a reckless man. He once had the idea of killing us. I don't know what you think about it. Anyway, for me, it's like walking in the forest and being climbed on his shoulder by an ant. I just brushed it away, but there's no need to take its life. But if I brushed the ant away, it still doesn't know whether it lives or not, then I In other words, it is not an ant that crawls on my shoulder, but a scorpion, so it must be a dead scorpion. ”
Gu Zheng's voice fell to the ground. Meow meow smiled shyly: ”Sir, what you said is so profound. Meow meow doesn't understand very well.”
”It doesn't matter. Take your time if you don't understand.”
Gu Zheng smiled faintly and looked into the distance. There was fog rising on the sea, which seriously affected his sight.
”Two guests, we are about to enter Wufeng island.”
The fifth man took the initiative to speak and encountered the previous events. He completely calmed down. Now his heart is full of fear.
The speed of the speedboat slowed down and drove slowly into the fog. At the moment of entering the fog, it was like entering a different world. The light was a little dark and frightening, and even the sun in the air could not be seen.
Gu Zheng understood that this was driving into the immortal array.
The significance of the existence of fairy array is naturally to protect the islands from external forces. Even if ordinary people accidentally break into the immortal array, there is no way to break the array. They can only turn around inside, just like ghosts hitting the wall.
Although the fifth is not a cultivator, he often takes people to the island and walks slowly in the array in a speedboat. He is also skilled. After some twists and turns, the fog in front of me suddenly disappeared, the weather was still so sunny, and a green island in the distance came into view.
”What a big sea area! Such a big sea area is hidden by the immortal array, which is not something that ordinary people can do!” Gu Zheng sighed.
After passing the immortal array, the fifth man increased his horsepower and sped towards the island. There are also some fishing boats operating in the nearby waters. When the islanders see the old five's boat coming back, some greet from a distance, and some build a canopy to look at it.
The speedboat landed, and there were people on the shore who were specially responsible for receiving guests. After the old five handed over to him, he seemed to be afraid of the old dispute and left in a hurry.
”Are the guests invited to attend the 'Fish Festival'? Show your keepsake and I'll make arrangements for you.” the Tianxin sect disciple in charge of receiving the guests smiled.
In the restaurant at the wharf, the lobby manager surnamed Yang is obviously a relative of leader Yang's family. He knows the identity of Gu Zheng. However, he didn't tell old five that Gu Zheng came to Wufeng island at the invitation of their leader. He just told old five that Gu Zheng was a distinguished guest.
Now the disciple in charge of reception, seeing that Gu Zheng took out the keepsake personally sent by the leader, immediately became extremely respectful.
”It's a distinguished guest. It's really disrespectful. I'll take you to the distinguished guest's residence now!”
The reception disciple made a gesture of invitation.
”Where are the distinguished guests? Is there any ordinary residence?” meow said strangely.
”Naturally, the keepsake presented by the guest is a keepsake personally issued by the leader. There are only two such keepsakes in total. Most of the keepsakes carried by people who come to the island are issued by the middle and senior level of the door.” the receiving disciple said.
”Taoist friend, what's the matter with the” Fish Festival ”you just said?” Gu Zheng asked.
In the face of Gu Zheng's inquiry, the reception disciple answered.
At this time of year, a rare fish in the sea will gather near Wufeng island to lay eggs. This fish looks like carp, but its body surface is covered with fine golden scales. The residents of Wufeng Island call them ”golden scales”.
Gold scale tastes delicious and can be used to refine pills to strengthen the body. It is a big income of Tianxin sect.
According to the reception disciples, this year's golden scale tide will appear the day after tomorrow and last for three days.
When the tide of golden scales recedes and the golden scales disappear, there will be a festival to celebrate the harvest of golden scales on Wufeng island. This seven day festival is the ”fish harvest festival”.
Yuhuo Festival is very lively. It is almost like a temple fair in the mainland. Some sects that have cooperative relations with Tianxin sect will come to Wufeng island to discuss the purchase of Jinlin before Yuhuo Festival. Some practitioners can receive the invitation of Tianxin sect to celebrate on Wufeng island.
No matter during the golden scale tide or the fish harvest festival, there are many customs and rules on Wufeng island. The receiving disciples told them all these things in detail.
”I didn't expect to catch up with such an interesting festival. Leader Yang didn't mention these things when he invited me.”
Gu Zheng smiled and experienced different customs, which is also a beautiful thing that can make people feel comfortable.
”Our leader didn't tell Gu leader about this. I'm not sure when Gu leader will come back. After all, when the leader mentioned to me that there was a distinguished guest like you, he just said he hoped you could come!” the receiving disciple smiled.
”By the way, you said your leader invited two distinguished guests. Who is the other?”
”Ancient Taoist friends!”
Just as Gu Zheng asked about the reception of his disciples, a surprise call came.
Gu Zheng looked back and saw that Yang Zhenling, who was with several Tianxin sect disciples, was running towards him.
”Old Taoist friend, I didn't expect you to come to Wufeng island!”
Yang Zhenling, who rushed to the front, hugged Gu, and his face was full of happiness.
”Is Yang Daoyou surprised that I came to your Tianxin sect?” Gu Zheng joked.
”Slip of the tongue!” Yang Zhenling laughed: ”as a leader of a school, the ancient leader must have a lot of things to do. I'm just surprised that you should come to Wufeng island so soon!”
”Yes, thinking about your good tea on Wufeng Island, I'll come as soon as possible!” Gu Zheng also laughed.
Yang Zhenling introduced his fellow disciples to Gu Zheng, and then said curiously, ”ancient Taoist friend, who is this next to you?”
”He is my servant girl.” Gu Zheng didn't hide it and was straightforward.
