The place and time of boarding the ship were engraved on the front and back of the knight's order. It was already the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month when everyone came down from the snow-capped mountains and arrived at the East China Sea.

This is a port on the coast of the East China Sea. Bai Zizai, Xie Yanke, Shi Zhongyu and others gathered here, together with the two envoys to reward good and punish evil, waiting for the arrival of the big ship.

The three of them rested in a thatched hut for a while. In the evening, the sea was filled with mist, making it look like a fairyland. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sea, creating a hazy golden glow.

Shi Zhongyu was sitting on the beach admiring the beautiful scenery when he suddenly saw a huge black boat breaking through the fog and rushing in. The two envoys of rewarding good and punishing evil nodded and said softly: "Everyone, you are here, please stop!"

Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke stopped playing the chessboard and stood up and walked to the rocks outside the house. The giant boat was only parked three feet away, probably because there was not enough draft in the offshore sea and it would run aground.

"The welcome envoy of Xia Ke Island, by order of the island owner, respectfully invites the white leader of the Snow Mountain Sect, the layman of Motian Ya to thank the layman, and the leader of the Shi Gang of the Changle Gang to set off!"

A man's shout came from the giant boat, followed by the loud sound of gongs and drums.

Xie Yanke tapped his feet gently, tapped twice on the sea surface, and with a flick of a dragonfly, he came to the deck of the giant boat. Bai Zi patted the rocks and used his strength to glide in the air, and he had already landed on the boat.

Both of them needed strength to be able to jump such a distance, but when they reached Shi Zhongyu, he was quite weird. He actually flew out with a sword, and then stepped on the flying sword and left. This scene looked like a sword fairy in the eyes of others.

He was like an ordinary person. Even Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke were stunned for a moment.

"Bah, bang, bang! What a handsome kung fu!" Zhang San and Li Si clapped at the same time. They resisted each other and came to the boat. There were several men in yellow clothes on the boat. The leader was the one who greeted the envoy, but his martial arts skills

Not very high.

After midnight, the big ship turned to the southeast. It sailed in the sea for three days. At noon on the fourth day, it happened to be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The man in yellow pointed to a black line in front and said: "That is Xiake Island."

Already."

Shi Zhongyu looked around and saw nothing unusual about the island, but his heart couldn't help but beat, as if something was inspiring his consciousness.

After sailing for more than an hour, we saw a towering rocky mountain on the island, which was lush and green and covered with trees. Then the ship sailed to the south leeward part of the island and docked.

The man in yellow said: "Xia Ke Island has arrived, please come to the island!"

There is a large beach in the south of the island, and there are more than 40 large and small boats moored under the rock cliff at the east end. These boats are old and new, which shows that the people who have come to the island over the years have never left.

The man in yellow jumped onto the shore, took out a conch from his arms, and blew it a few times. After a while, a dozen men came out from behind the mountain, all wearing yellow cloth shorts, and walked quickly to

In front of everyone, he bowed and said: "The island owner is waiting for you at the guest house. Please come here."

It was December, but it was strange that these people were not very skilled in martial arts, yet they were still dressed so thinly.

After the three men followed the man in yellow into the mountains, they were surrounded by forests on both sides, and a mountain path passed through the forest. After walking for several miles, they turned into a rocky mountain road, facing a deep stream on the left. The stream was rushing and the rocks made a sound.

We walked along the mountain stream gradually and got higher and higher. After turning two turns, we saw a waterfall hanging straight down from a height of more than ten feet. It seemed that this waterfall was the source of the mountain stream.

Zhang San raised his palm and cut off the waterfall with a "pop" sound. Li Si made a gesture of invitation. After everyone walked into the waterfall, there was a long corridor with oil lamps on both sides. Although the light was dim, it was not The road can be discerned. This tunnel was built according to the natural cave in the heart of the mountain. The artificial tunnel is very narrow, but sometimes it suddenly opens up. I feel that it is getting lower and lower, and there is the sound of running water in the cave, gurgling and clanking, crisp and clear. It is as pleasant to the ear as hitting a jade chime. There are many branches in the cave, and it is easy to get confused.

After walking for more than two miles in the cave, a cave door made of jade suddenly appeared in front of us. There were three large characters carved on the forehead of the door, which was the guest house.

Walking into the jade cave door, the underground bluestone slabs were laid out very neatly. The man led them into a cave on the left and said: "Everyone, please rest here for a while. The island owner will meet you at the banquet later." "

There are all tables and chairs in the cave, and three red candles illuminate the cave. A child offers tea and four-color snacks.

Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke did not dare to touch the food, for fear that there would be some poison in it. Although they were both great masters in the martial arts world, they were even more cautious when they arrived in this unfamiliar place.

But Shi Zhongyu knew all the truth, so he didn't panic, picked up the cake and started eating.

Xie Yanke and Bai Zizai saw that this little friend was so bold, and wondered if they were more afraid of death than him at their age. They laughed "Pfft" and picked up cakes and tea to eat.

The three of them chatted in the cave and sat for more than an hour. Suddenly they heard the sound of bells, drums, strings and bamboos. The man in yellow who led the way returned to the entrance of the cave, bowed and said, "The island master invites you to a banquet."

Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke looked at each other, thinking that they were finally going to see this holy man. They wanted to see if this master had three heads and six arms, and could actually make so many Central Plains masters go away over the years. return.

After passing through several caves, I heard the sound of bells, drums, strings and bamboos getting louder, and my eyes suddenly brightened up. I saw a large cave filled with butter candles, and there were about a hundred tables in the cave. Guests were pouring in. .This cave is so big that even though there are many tables, it is not crowded. Hundreds of men in yellow clothes shuttle back and forth to guide guests to their seats. All guests have their own seats, and no one from the host is accompanying them. After all the guests were seated, the music stopped.

The three of them looked around and saw many familiar people sitting tall and tall among the heroes. Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke were secretly shocked. All the masters who disappeared more than ten years ago were here. I thought that they had died long ago, but I didn't expect that their appearance had not changed, and in fact they looked much younger.

"That's... Ding Kai of Tianying Castle!" Bai Zizai was shocked. The man he saw was the last master of the arrogant Tianying Castle, the master of Ding Busan and Ding Busi!

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of bells and drums, and a man in yellow shirt said loudly: "The two island masters of Xiake Island, Dragon Island Master and Wood Island Master, solemnly greet the guests."

Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke were shocked. Only then did they know that there were two island owners on Xiake Island, one with the surname of Long and the other with the surname of Mu.

The middle door opened, and two rows of men and women, tall and short, came out. The one on the right was wearing yellow, and the one on the left was wearing blue. The person paying tribute called out: "Master Long Island, all the disciples of Master Mu Island are here to see the distinguished guest. "

Zhang San and Li Si were also among the disciples. Zhang San wore yellow and was ranked third from the right. Li Si wore green and was ranked fourth from the left. Behind them, there were more than ten people each.

Everyone couldn't help but gasped. Everyone had seen the martial arts of Zhang San and Li Si with their own eyes, but they didn't know that they had so many brothers from the same sect. It is expected that the kung fu of each of them was at the same level as them.

They all thought: "No wonder, in the past thirty years, all the heroes who came to Xiake Island have never come back. Not to mention others, we only need to reward the good and punish the evil. We, the famous figures in the martial arts of the Central Plains,

How many of them can get more than twenty moves under their hands?"

Shi Zhongyu knew very well that they relied on the divine wine and forbidden medicine to improve their strength. But even so, these twenty or so masters were definitely the first-class power in the Central Plains. With their own strength, they could

Can sweep across the martial arts world.

The two rows of disciples stood separately on the left and right, and bowed respectfully to the heroes. The heroes immediately returned the salute. When Zhang San and Li Si were distributing bronze medals in the Central Plains, they talked, laughed and killed people. With a single move of their hands, they often

Then he massacred the entire sect and gang. Now when he returned to the island, he was looking at them with utmost respect.

Amidst the sound of fine music, two old men walked out slowly side by side, one wearing yellow and the other wearing green. They shouted in praise: "The master of our island welcomes all distinguished guests." The master of Long Island and the master of Mu Island bowed.

When he reached the ground, the heroes returned the favor one after another.

The Dragon Island Master in yellow robe laughed and said: "Brothers Hemu and I are living on a remote desert island. Today we are able to meet many eminent sages, and we feel very honored and favored. However, everything on the desert island is simple and poor.

Sorry for the delay."

He spoke in a very calm voice. This Xiake Island is isolated in the East China Sea, but he spoke with a Central Plains accent.

The owner of Mu Island waved his hand again and said: "Everyone, please take a seat."

His voice is sharp and he seems to be from the Fujian and Guangzhou area.

After the heroes were seated, the two island masters, Long Mu, sat down at a table at the lower head seat on the west side. There were no seats for the disciples, so they each stood with their hands down.

Some people think: "Xia Ke Island entertains guests very overbearingly. If a guest doesn't come, he will be killed by everyone in the house and gang. But when you get to the island, the etiquette is very thoughtful and pretentious, but it looks like it. Let's see what happens next.

What else can you do in one step?"

Others thought: "When the prisoner is taken out to be beheaded, we should also give him a meal and drink, and give him a few words of comfort. The banquet in front of us may be our beheading soup."

When everyone looked at the two island owners, they saw that the Dragon Island owner had all white beard and eyebrows and a rosy face, like a child; the Mu Island owner had a long and sparse beard, more black than white, but his face was full of wrinkles. The two people

It's really hard to tell how old they are. They are always between sixty and ninety years old. It would not be unusual to say that both of them are over a hundred years old.

As soon as everyone was seated, the butlers on the island came up to pour wine and then served dishes.

There are four plates and four bowls on each person's table, with eight-color dishes, chicken, meat, fish, and shrimp, all cooked to a fragrant aroma and seem to be in the same shape.

Shi Zhongyu casually looked around at the guests at each table, and saw that Taoist Tianxu, the master of Shangqing Temple, had arrived. Fan Yifei, Feng Liang, Lu Zhengping, and the third lady of the four major sects in Guandong also arrived. These people were worried and looked at Shi Zhongyu.

Shi Du only nodded, maybe not recognizing him, but did not say hello.

The second island owner of Longmu raised his wine glass and said: "Please!" The two drank it down in one gulp.

When the hero saw the wine in the cup, it was a green and oily place. Although the wine was very fragrant, they all murmured in their hearts: "I don't know how powerful the poison is in this wine."

Most people raised their glasses and touched their lips without drinking. Only a few people thought: "The other party wants to harm me, but it's just a simple matter. Whether the wine is poisonous or not, it's better to die anyway."

Generous." He immediately raised his glass and drank it all, and the servants waiting nearby filled it up for everyone.

After the second island master Longmu toasted three glasses of wine, the island master Long raised his left hand. A group of servants filed out of the inner hall, each holding a large bowl and a large bowl of hot porridge on a lacquer tray, and placed them in front of the guests.

Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke looked at each other and both thought: "This is the famous Laba porridge in the world."

The hot porridge steamed up, and there were bubbles coming up from the bottom of the porridge. The bowl of porridge was dark green in color, and it looked indescribably weird. It turned out that the Laba porridge was mixed with red dates, lotus seeds, and tangerine seeds.

, dried longan, red beans and the like, but the things mixed in the porridge in front of me are not like vegetables, and the grass is not like grass. Some of them look like tree roots cut into fine particles, and some of them look like cassava pressed into flat pieces.

The gas is extremely strong. Everyone knows that most poisons are green in color. This bowl of porridge is so dark green that it only reflects the green face of the person. The medicinal gas is pungent to the nose, so we can know its poison.

To eat or not to eat? Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke were both undecided. The Laba porridge looked so bad that it didn’t look like normal food at all. They came here just to get an answer. But when they saw Longmu Island

The master is just like an ordinary person, and his aura is not even that of a great master.

Although they were suspicious and did not dare to act rashly, they were not willing to take the Laba porridge, which looked problematic.

At this time, the Lord of Long Island said: "Everyone has come from afar, and our island has no respect for you. This bowl of Laba porridge is not easy to drink outside, and the most important one is 'heart-breaking, bone-corroding and heart-corroding grass'. It can only be used after it blooms."

But this grass only blooms once every ten years. We always have to wait for it to bloom before we invite fellow Jianghu people to come here to enjoy it. Counting on the fingers, this is the fourth invitation. Please, please, you're welcome." He said.

The owner of Hemu Island holds a bowl of porridge in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand to invite each other.

When everyone heard the name "Heart-breaking, bone-corroding and heart-corroding grass", they all felt a sudden shock in their hearts. Although no one planned to leave alive after arriving on the island, the name of the poisonous grass contained in the Laba porridge was so thrilling. This dragon

The island owner actually revealed it publicly, and everyone couldn't help but change their minds.

I saw the two island masters of Longmu each holding up their chopsticks and making a circle to everyone, indicating that everyone was welcome, and then they raised their bowls and started eating. The heroes thought to themselves: "What you put in these two bowls of porridge must be ginseng and bird's nests."

It’s a tonic.”

Suddenly I saw a big man standing up in the east, pointing his halberd at Long and Mu, and shouted: "Long, Mu, listen: I, Jie Wenbao from Guanxi, had already taken care of the funeral arrangements before I came to Xiarong Island. Jie is upright and upright.

, Iron-clad men, if you want to kill or behead them, how can Jie frown? You want me to eat and drink such filthy poison, but I absolutely cannot!"

The Dragon Island Master was stunned and said with a smile: "Jie Yingxiong doesn't like to drink porridge, how can we dare to compete with each other? But why should we be angry? Please sit down."

Xie Wenbao shouted: "The man named Xie risked his life a long time ago. If he dies early and dies late, it's not a death. But he wants to offend you guys and girls who are so arrogant and bring trouble to the world!" He picked up the hot porridge on the table and said,
Chapter completed!
