On the way Lu Feng and the others were walking towards the teleportation array in Qiongfeng City, a big battle broke out in the real Songmu Town.
After seeing their brother being killed, the people in Fuxi Village searched around and found the grave of Jia Tingxi, who was buried not long ago. They dug up the grave and performed an autopsy in anger, and found out that his wounds were caused by the death of his brother in the village.
The jade piece found at the brother's body.
All the clues attributed the brother's death to Xiang Tianming and his gang. With full fury, the second head of Fuxi Village led his men into the Mingyue Inn where Xiang Tianming was staying.
Before Xiang Tianming and others could explain, they started fighting. During the battle, Xiang Tianming and others learned that Jia Tingxi was dead and mistakenly thought it was Fuxi Village's fault. They also became full of murderous intent.
.
At the same moment, in Dongyuan Spiritual Prison.
Ye Fan registered for the tutor assessment in the master hall. The assessment method he chose was to test the elixir. Originally, the spiritual merits had not been collected yet. Fortunately, he was appreciated by the master of the medicine hall. Ye Fan's knowledge was recognized by the other party, and he agreed to do it.
It guarantees spiritual merit.
News spread that Lu Feng had passed the test formation. Although everyone was a little surprised to learn that someone had participated in the test, it did not cause too much trouble.
Qionfeng City.
Lu Feng and his party of four came to the teleportation array in Qiongfeng City, paid the teleportation fee and headed towards Qianfeng County.
The location of the island is still far away from Qianfeng County. Lu Feng and the others still need to take a boat to get there after arriving at the main island of Qianfeng County.
The island is located on the edge of Qianfeng County, and it takes nearly half a day to reach it by boat from the main island of Qianfeng County.
Lu Feng and four others came to the ferry where the boat was moored.
"The aura here is so comfortable," Ruoshui said with a smile as he squinted his eyes.
Lu Feng took a look around. Surrounded by water on three sides, the spiritual energy contained water vapor. It was indeed a treasured place suitable for cultivation, but it was still far inferior to the special cultivation environment in the spiritual prison.
However, the environment here seems to be more suitable for Ruoshui's physique.
After paying some fees, Lu Feng and the others rented a small boat. The boatman wore a straw hat and paddled to lead Lu Feng and others through the sea of peaks.
"How many of you are going to Tu Island to find relatives?" the boatman asked, "If you go there, be sure to take good care of your belongings."
Lu Feng looked at the boatman in confusion: "What? There are robbers on the island?"
The boatman said with some compassion: "Don't you know there is a drought there? Are they all refugees grabbing food?"
Lu Feng took this opportunity to ask: "How many islanders are left on the island?"
The boatman lamented: "Only those who have lived there for generations are left. God has no eyes to see such a sudden drought."
Lu Feng asked about his doubts: "As far as I know, the island is surrounded by water, and the most important thing is water. How could there be a sudden drought?"
The boatman sighed: "This is strange. Not long ago, the water source near the island was interrupted by the reverse flow, and the entire island was separated by silt. Then the water source on the island slowly dried up. No one can explain what happened.
.”
Jun Ziyi rubbed his nose and asked, "Didn't those people on the island ever think about digging out the mud and diverting the water source again?"
The boatman smiled bitterly and said: "The silt covers an extremely wide area and cannot be dredged within a year and a half. Besides, if we have the time, we might as well move to a new island." "A new island?" Tang Yuan asked doubtfully.
The boatman glanced at him and said: "The most indispensable thing in Qianfeng County is the small island. Have you ever understood the origin of our Qianfeng County?"
Although Lu Feng knew a lot when he heard this, most of it was from books, which were more or less different from what the locals said, so he didn't answer and listened quietly to the boatman's introduction.
The boatman pointed to the surrounding peaks and introduced: "Qianfeng County is famous for its peaks. There are hundreds of thousands of peaks in its territory. Dozens of them have been flattened due to natural reasons. The mountainside terrain is stable, which has attracted many islanders.
The choice to migrate.”
As he spoke, the boatman said with admiration: "Speaking of the formation of the island town, we have to mention the most famous Huludao in Qianfeng County. Huludao was originally a towering mountain called Huludao Mountain, with thousands of
In the past, two masters fought here for several days. They cut the Calabash Mountain in half and divided it into two. The upper part of the mountainside was inserted upside down into the sea and merged with the half gourd at the bottom. Finally, the current mountain was formed.
Huludao.”
Listening to the boatman's lively introduction, Lu Feng and others seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time, and they could imagine the shocking scene when the two masters fought against each other.
"Can you introduce the island to us?" Lu Feng asked.
"There's nothing to introduce to the island. It's just an ordinary island with not many people living there. You can treat it as an ordinary town." The boatman controlled the oar and changed the direction: "But now
Most of the residents of Tudao Island have moved away, and it can only be regarded as a small village."
Lu Feng nodded, looked at the surrounding peaks, and continued to ask: "Are all the peaks here uninhabited? How come there doesn't seem to be any human habitation at all?"
The boatman looked up at the peaks pointed by Lu Feng and explained: "Oh, these, these are barren mountains. Because the terrain is unstable and landslides occur all year round, no one lives there. This place is close to the edge of Qianfeng County.
Except for the convex island you are going to, it is basically all barren mountains."
"Is it that mountain? It really looks like the word "convex"," Tang Yuan joked, pointing ahead.
The boatman nodded and said, "That's the one. I'll drop you off after I take you through the two barren mountains ahead. You need to walk the rest of the way on your own."
Lu Feng followed the boatman's gaze and saw that there were two barren mountains not far from the island, one on the left and one on the right, forming a "pin" with the three islands.
The boat passed between two barren mountains and arrived at the mud-covered area in front of the island beach. The boatman slowly docked the boat in front of the beach and said in horror: "How long has it been? How come the mud has hardened and dried up?"
"Okay, okay, you can go there on your own, I will take you here," the boatman said with a hint of panic.
"Thank you," Lu Feng and the others jumped onto the dry soil. Looking at the boatman who seemed to be running away, they couldn't help but smile.
"I'm afraid it's not just a drought here," Lu Feng said, but his expression seemed to have already expected it.
Tang Yuan nodded in agreement. According to what the boatman said, the ground they stepped on was mud not long ago, but now it was as hard as stone due to the loss of water.
The four of them, Lu Feng, stepped on the cracked earth and walked towards the protruding island.
"It's so hot..." Not long after walking, Ruoshui suddenly became as if he had been exposed to the sun. He was sweating profusely and his face was red. But even so, Ruoshui still gritted his teeth and walked stubbornly, for fear of dragging others down.
.
Seeing this, Lu Feng hurriedly wrapped Ruoshui with spiritual energy. "The energy is sinking in the soul, and the body is restrained," Lu Feng helped Ruoshui hide his spiritual energy.
Ruoshui shook his head bitterly, "Just now it was like a fire was burning in my body, and I couldn't lift a trace of spiritual energy from my body."
"Be careful," Lu Feng reminded everyone to defend their spiritual energy. "The drought on this island may not only affect the water, but also the spiritual energy may be dried up."
Everyone became cautious after hearing the words. Although Jun Ziyi seemed a little indifferent, the pain Ruoshui had endured before made her remain cautious.
As the evening approached, the gorgeous sunset burned the entire sky like fire. It was obviously spring, but there was a hint of desolation under the gorgeous sunset.
The cracked land spread infinitely towards the end of the field of vision. As far as the eye could see, a few standing dead trees and branches were removed, as well as many scattered yellowing white bones.
"Be careful, don't get stuck in the crack and sprain your foot," Tang Yuan reminded the two women in the team.
Ruoshui nodded, looked at the ground, and walked carefully. Some of the cracks in the cracked earth were very wide, and it would be easy to get stuck if you stepped on them.
Although Jun Ziyi liked the gorgeous sunset in the sky, he couldn't bear the fact that the surrounding environment was too desolate. He asked Lu Feng with some complaints: "It's so desolate here, are there people there? Could it be that everyone has disappeared long ago?"
Lu Feng was not sure. He remembered what the boatman said on the road and said, "Let's take a closer look. Didn't the boatman say that there are still many islanders who have been here for generations? They should be reluctant to leave."
go."
"Look," Tang Yuan suddenly pointed forward and said.
Lu Feng looked forward, and there was a ravine there. From where they stood, they could not see the scene in the ravine. They could only see a wisp of green smoke floating out of the ravine.
"There is someone there," Lu Feng followed the green smoke to look for him.
As soon as Lu Feng and the others approached the ravine, they were surrounded by a group of people who suddenly rushed out.
Lu Feng looked at the people surrounding them. Instead of feeling angry, he felt a little sympathetic.
These people all have yellow skin, dull complexions, chapped lips, and stooped backs, and have appearances that are inconsistent with their actual age.
Lu Feng showed Dong Yuan Ling Yu's mentor token and said, "We are sent by Dong Yuan Ling Yu to distribute relief materials. Can the owner of Tu Island be here?"
The mission Lu Feng accepted stated that he only needed to hand over the materials to the owner of the island, Gu Li, and it would be complete.
There are dozens of inhabited islands in Qianfeng County, all of which have island owners appointed by Qianfeng County Prison Officers. The establishment of island owners not only facilitates the management of the spiritual prisons, but also maintains contact with each other.
For a sudden drought like the one on Tudao, the owner of Tudao Island will report it to the prison officer of Qianfeng County, who will then verify it and report it to the prison. Finally, depending on the seriousness of the situation, the prison will issue a disaster relief mission or appoint specialized personnel.
deal with.
Obviously, in the eyes of Ling Yu, a small island town with a sparse population did not pay much attention to it. He simply issued a disaster relief mission and got over it hastily.
Following Lu Feng's questioning, a middle-aged man stood up. The man looked very haggard, with disheveled hair and a messy beard. He looked shabby.
"I am the island owner of Tu Island," Gu Li took out the island owner's order and handed it to Lu Feng.
The island master's order is shaped like a thickened version of the soul coin, and it is heavy in the hand.
