The entire Qianlong Island is surrounded by mountains, the seaside is densely covered with dangerous shoals, and the rocks are rugged under the surging water. The only pier on the island is on the north side of the island, at a relatively leeward location between two steep peaks that extend into the sea.
In the angle, the terrain is quite steep. [This article comes from]
The waterway where the passenger ship enters the dock is winding. The mountains on both sides of the waterway are dotted with many large and small caves, whether due to weathering or rain erosion, or even due to special geological formations. Some caves are half immersed in seawater.
As the waves beat, some strange echoes will be emitted from those caves, like the roar of some monster, which sounds inexplicably chilling.
After the passenger ship traveled about five or six hundred meters in the narrow and winding waterway, Zhang Tie felt that the scenery in front of him suddenly broadened, and he saw a small pier and some man-made buildings on Qianlong Island that were only more than a hundred meters long.
After the boat docked at the pier, everyone began to go ashore. Zhang Tie stayed at the end slowly. After almost everyone on the boat had left, two young men of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing black smart clothes, came to the rescue.
He and three other men wearing other colorful clothes came to the deck of the passenger ship.
"That's him..." As soon as these people arrived, one of the men in colorful clothes pointed at the corpse on the deck and shouted, "It's him who killed my eldest brother and uncle and took away their two children."
The centipede beads dug out from the body of the centipede..." As the man spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally, he couldn't help but take out the long knife on his body and slashed hard at the corpse.
He chopped several times crazily, "Brother, uncle, you died so miserably, I will use this evil man's head to pay homage to you..."
"The centipede has been handed over to you. This man's body is also here. It is up to you to dispose of the body. Whether it is crushed to ashes or eaten alive, it is up to you!"
"Old Ma Teng, on behalf of the 659 people in Majiazhuang, Qingshan County, would like to thank Huaiyuan Zhang for his great righteousness!" An old man among the other people endured his grief and saluted the two teenagers with a deep clasped fist.
"People cannot be resurrected after death, so please forgive me and be patient!"
The men in colorful clothes, in grief and anger, thanked the two teenagers and directly carried the body off the boat.
Zhang Tie, who had been staying at the end slowly, saw this scene and already had a rough guess about the identities of the two teenagers. If they were not from Qianlong Hall, they were at least members of the Zhang family on the island.
"You two, please go slowly!" Zhang Tie stopped the two teenagers just as they walked onto the pier.
"What's going on?" The two teenagers turned around and looked at Zhang Tie who suddenly appeared.
"I would like to ask you two how to get to Qianlong Hall?"
"Are you going to Qianlong Hall?" One of the two teenagers heard that Zhang Tie was going to Qianlong Hall, and looked at Zhang Tie carefully from head to toe.
"Yes. I want to go to Qianlong Hall!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"What do you want to do at Qianlong Hall?"
"Go report!"
"Show me your family certificate!"
Zhang Tie took out the family certificate and handed it to the two teenagers. After looking at it carefully, the two teenagers looked at each other and nodded together.
"Your name is Zhang Tie?" One of the boys returned the family certificate to Zhang Tie.
"Yes!"
"My name is Xu Lang, and his name is Zhang Houyu. Both of us are from Qianlongtang!" Xu Lang's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic when he spoke. After Xu Lang said this, he looked at the young man named Zhang Houyu next to him, "Yes.
You send him to Qianlong Hall or should I send him there?"
"Haha, since both of them are named Zhang, let me send him there! You continue to patrol the island, and we will meet somewhere in Yunshi Town after I send him to Qianlong Hall." The young man named Zhang Houyu said.
"good!"
"Come with me!" Zhang Houyu greeted Zhang Tie, turned around and left. Zhang Tie naturally followed him and left the pier. The young man named Xu Lang said hello to the two people after leaving the pier. Then he left from the pier.
Another way was taken.
There is a small street here at the dock. There are several buildings on both sides of the street. Zhang Tie took a look and found that those buildings contained warehouses, hotels, a fish market, and two shops selling unknown items. There was actually something here.
There was also a restaurant. Most of the people who had just got off the boat rushed to the restaurant. After four or five hours on the boat, everyone was still hungry. As soon as they saw a restaurant, they all rushed in.
Zhang Tie's stomach was also growling a little, but at this moment, seeing others leading the way for him, he was embarrassed to let them wait for him to finish eating before leaving.
"Do you want to eat something first?" Zhang Tie said nothing, but Zhang Houyu asked very considerately, "If you want to eat, at least eat less. This place is about twenty miles away from Qianlong Hall.
"Dear, I'm so full that I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up!"
"It doesn't matter, then it's the same as eating at Qianlongtang!"
"Okay, let's keep up. Let's run, so we can go faster!" Zhang Houyu started running after saying this, and Zhang Tie hurriedly ran to keep up.
Thinking of the Xu Lang he had just met, Zhang Tie had a question in his mind and asked Zhang Houyu while running, "Does Qianlong Hall also recruit children with foreign surnames?"
"Except for the direct lineage of the Zhang family, any relatives of the Zhang family in Huaiyuan County who have awakened their ancestral bloodline can also enter the Qianlong Hall. When you first come to the Qianlong Hall, you must remember the first rule of the Qianlong Hall, which is, no
Feel free to ask others about their awakened ancestral bloodline and how many times they have awakened it. Do not casually reveal to others what your awakened family bloodline is. You may not feel that this information is important now, but it is a very important family secret. First of all,
Some people may still know about the ancestral bloodline awakened for the first time, but no matter what abilities the ancestral bloodline awakened after the second time gives you, the less people know about it, the better. This is your trump card. At some point in the future
Maybe I can save your life!" Zhang Houyu said, watching Zhang Tie can keep up with his pace, and slowly speeded up a little more.
"Can the ancestral bloodline be awakened a second time?" This was the first time Zhang Tiezhen heard this information, and Weiwei was a little surprised. He thought that a person could awaken once.
"Of course, there is no upper limit to the number of times you can awaken your ancestral bloodline. Different ancestral bloodlines will give you different specialties and talents. As for how many times you can awaken them, it all depends on your abilities and opportunities. Many bloodlines that have been awakened once can still be awakened twice.
Awakening several times, three times, or even more times to complete the advancement and strengthening of the same ancestral bloodline!"
Zhang Tie sighed slightly in his heart. Sure enough, it was Qianlong Hall. Not long after he arrived, it had given him two surprises, one on the passenger ship and one here. He didn't know what he would do after the spear-throwing ancestral bloodline awakened again.
What to upgrade to? This question, just thinking about it, made Zhang Tie's heart become hot and he had more visions for the future.
After leaving the dock, the two people started running on the mountain path. The speed was getting faster and faster. At the beginning, Zhang Houyu wanted to take care of Zhang Tie and deliberately slowed down a little. But after arriving, he saw Zhang Tie.
Tie could still chat with him easily while running, so Zhang Houyu slowly accelerated. But no matter how much he accelerated, Zhang Tie followed him at a pace that was unhurried and calm. Zhang Houyu was surprised at the same time.
The young man's desire to win slowly used his full strength.
Zhang Tie didn't feel that the young man who was leading him was sweating on his forehead. For him who had eaten nine Wild Wolf Seven Power Fruits, he only felt that such a speed was very easy. It could only be regarded as a trot, which was just running with him.
His current "cruising speed" seems to be a little behind in comparison. If he wanted to, he could run at this speed for a whole day without any problem.
After running five kilometers and climbing over a mountain, Zhang Tie unexpectedly discovered that there was a large town on Qianlong Island. The town was located in a small basin on the island, surrounded by mountains and forests.
The prosperity of the town seemed to be no worse than that of towns on land. Two people ran past the hillside to the east of the town.
"Ah, I didn't expect there to be a town of this size on Qianlong Island!" Zhang Tie sighed naturally.
Hearing Zhang Tie's emotion, Zhang Houyu, who had been running with his head down, almost let out a breath. At this time, he could no longer speak so freely, but he didn't expect that Zhang Tie didn't even take a breath when he spoke.
"This is... Bailong Town... Qianlong Island... there are... five towns... in addition to Bailong Town... there are also Qinglong Town... Huanglong Town... Black Dragon Town... Blue Dragon Town!
"Zhang Houyu gritted his teeth and spoke intermittently as he ran. The wind in front of him poured into his mouth as he spoke, almost making him choke and cough.
At this moment, Zhang Houyu had already determined in his heart that Zhang Tie's awakened ancestral bloodline must be related to his running ability. Otherwise, he really couldn't think of how a boy who looked one or two years younger than him could have such abilities.
Such amazing endurance and running ability.
After Zhang Houyu ran hard for less than half an hour, he finally arrived at Qianlong Hall. It was a group of fortresses built on a difficult terrain but with beautiful scenery. Three castles were built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The middle of the castle is connected by various villas and pavilions hidden in the jungle. It is magnificent and majestic. Just looking at these buildings in front of him, Zhang Tie knew that the wealth of Huaiyuantang was indeed not exaggerated.
A more than 20-meter-high archway with the three characters "Qianlong Hall" on it stood in front of Zhang Tie. Under the archway were two huge and majestic stone lions.
"This...this is Qianlong Hall. When you enter, naturally...someone will greet you!"
After saying this, Zhang Houyu had already left before Zhang Tie could thank him.
Zhang Tie scratched his head and felt Zhang Houyu's attitude was a bit strange. What he didn't know was that the "senior" who brought him to "Qianlong Hall" was already ashamed of Zhang Tie's foot power on the way. This time
When we arrived at our destination, we quickly left.
…
Zhang Tie took a deep breath and touched the family certificate on his body, crossed the archway, and walked towards the first castle at the foot of the mountain. The guards outside the castle were all young people. Seeing Zhang Tie's arrival, they had already
A young man under twenty years old took the initiative to greet him. After Zhang Tie took out the family certificate and explained his purpose clearly, the young man took Zhang Tie to the castle.
…
A few minutes later…
"Zhang Tie, age fifteen, warrior level five, awakened the bloodline of his ancestors for the first time, entered Qianlong Hall for the first time, this is the key to your room, No. 73, Xingzhiyuan, this is the map of Qianlong Island,
You can report to Zhixingyuan today. Before you leave, you can confirm again whether all the money and belongings you brought have been handed over. Your money and belongings have been registered. There are a total of 8 gold coins and 13 silver coins. Yes.
I will give it back to you when you leave Qianlongtang. If you are found to have hidden money, even a copper plate, the punishment will be very serious!" A 60-year-old man with a goatee, who looked a bit wretched, looked like a pawnshop
Like a shopkeeper, he stood behind a high counter, pushing keys, maps and other things in front of Zhang Tie, while raising his head and explaining to Zhang Tie seriously.
Zhang Tie also didn't expect that the first step in reporting to Qianlong Hall would be to hand over all the money and belongings he had on him. In addition to what he was carrying, there were 5,000 gold coins in cash and 5,000 gold coins in gold tickets in the Black Iron Castle.
This is the spare money Zhang Tie left for himself. The remaining money from the auction of the Ring of Vitality. After he went to Black Flame City and gave part of it to his brother, now he only has the money left.
So much.
"Can I ask? Don't we need money on Qianlong Island and Qianlong Hall? Why do we have to hand over all my belongings?"
"Of course money is used in Qianlong Island and Qianlongtang, and more will be used. There is no place in the world where there is no money, but for those of us who join the Qianlongtang family children, in Qianlongtang
Every copper spent on Dragon Island and Qianlong Hall must be earned by oneself on the island, not brought from home!" This voice came from behind Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie turned his head.
, he saw four teenagers similar to him walking in one by one carrying a wire sack.
The four teenagers were all wearing a simple coarse cloth vest, and they were all covered in sweat. It seemed that they were carrying heavy things on their backs. The taller boy walking at the front was in better shape, and the three boys walking behind were a little better.
The skin on their faces and arms was so sunburned that it cracked quickly like dry tree bark. Zhang Tie could vaguely imagine how their skin and flesh used to look like.
The foreheads of several teenagers sweated too much, and some fine white salt grains gathered on their foreheads. The sweat soaked on the cracked skin, causing the corners of their eyes to twitch involuntarily.
stand up.
As soon as a few people came closer, Zhang Tie seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell of the sea on several of them. Zhang Tie looked at it and saw that there were some minor wounds on the hands and arms of several teenagers. Just like this
If they hadn't appeared here, Zhang Tie would have definitely suspected that someone was abusing slave workers if he had seen such a few people elsewhere.
"New here?" the boy walking in front asked Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded.
"Then come with us, we are also from Zhixingyuan!" said the young man who took the lead.
"Hahahaha, welcome to Qianlong Hall?" Another young man with a sunburnt face seemed to want to laugh when he saw Zhang Tie's dazed look, but only a slight smile appeared on his face, and he forced himself to use the air conditioner.
I suppressed my smile...
This Qianlongtang seems to be a little different from what I imagined.
