There is no ship, but no one can leave this island. This "Wanyi Island" isolated in the ocean has become another bigger prison.
And this big cage surrounded by ocean is probably more difficult to escape than the flame trap in Tingtao Pavilion!
Most of the people who escaped from Tingtao Pavilion had inhaled poisonous smoke, and hundreds of people were poisoned. The antidote powder in Hua Bushi's small jade bottle was far from enough. But fortunately, most of these people had internal energy.
He was not weak. Now that he had escaped from danger and meditated for a period of time, he could force the poison out of the body. Only a few people had insufficient internal strength and were unable to use their martial arts to force out the poison, so Tang Zilin took out the jade bottle and asked them to sniff and detoxify.
Tang Zilin is the deputy head of the Tang Sect and the leader of the alliance forces in the southwest. The jade bottle containing the antidote is in his hand. It is up to him to decide who to detoxify. Of course, no one dares to raise objections. But if it is Hua Bushi,
The "Evil Dog Master" who has no prestige takes out the antidote, but he is afraid that it will immediately trigger a scramble for it.
Although people from well-known and decent sects have great martial arts skills, most of them are not familiar with the methods of poisoning and detoxification. They usually regard such poisoning methods as dirty tricks. Even the "Seven Shaolin Seven" who include all kinds of strange martial arts in the world.
Among the "Twelve Special Skills", there is no technique that uses poison.
Relatively speaking, people in the underworld can do anything, and when it comes to poisoning methods, they are definitely much better than those of the Bai Dao sect. And Lu Qiuhong probably decided on this matter long ago before using poisonous techniques such as "Snow Luo Seven Evil Smokes"
to deal with everyone.
After escaping from death in Tingtao Pavilion, "Wanyi Manor" has also become an empty manor. Everyone meditated and performed exercises to cure poison, while some people searched around the manor for warning, while the heads of several forces gathered together.
In the front hall, discuss how to deal with the current situation.
"Lu Qiuhong is so bold, he dares to murder the masters of our sects! When he returns to the Central Plains, Yu must inform the sect about this matter, wipe out all the Wanyi Sect, and break the bones of the thief named Lu
Raise the ashes!" It was Yu Jun who spoke, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
This "Huashan Sect" elder has always been arrogant and arrogant. This time he was plotted against and almost lost his life. He naturally hated Lu Qiuhong in his heart.
"Even if we have to settle this account, we have to wait until we go back first. Now hundreds of us are trapped on this isolated island, and we don't know whether we can go back!" The elder of the "Kongtong Sect"
Yi Bai, his tone sounded a little angry.
Qin Sang said: "Mr. Weng, why are you so pessimistic? From my sister's point of view, although there are no ships on the island now, there should be ocean-going sailing ships passing by on the surface of the South China Sea. If we burn smoke on the island to send out signals, at most
After a few days, I think a ship discovered him and went to the island to rescue him."
Weng Yibai shook his head and said: "Junior sister Qin is too fanciful. The South China Sea is so vast and boundless, and this island is probably not on the ocean route. Even if we wait for the smoke to send a message, there is a possibility that it will be discovered by passing ships.
Not much. Besides, since that old fox Lu Qiuhong dares to do this, he must have a plan and will definitely prevent other ships from coming to rescue us."
Yu Jun disagreed and said: "Even if there is no ship coming, we can still build one. There are so many houses and buildings on this island. If they are dismantled, there will be no shortage of wooden planks. As long as we spend some time and effort, we will definitely be able to build one."
It can also be successful.”
Weng Yibai still shook his head: "Among us, there is no one who knows how to sail on the ocean, and there is no one who can build a ship. It is not easy to build a ship now!"
Qin Sang said: "Now there are hundreds of masters from various sects on the island. How does Mr. Weng know that there is no one who is proficient in shipbuilding and navigation among them? As the saying goes, everything depends on manpower, but I think this is feasible."
Several of them expressed their views and argued, but Master Yuanguang, Master Baojing and Tang Zilin, the leaders of the tripartite alliance, remained silent.
At this moment, a disciple of the "Tang Sect" walked into the meeting hall, saluted everyone, and then came to Tang Zilin and whispered a few words in his ear. The deputy head of the Tang Sect listened.
The disciple's report made the already gloomy face even more solemn.
He waved his hand and asked the disciple to step back. He walked to the table in two steps and said, "This time the 'Wanyi Sect' invited me and other sects to attend the 'Wanyi Conference', it was a big conspiracy.
The so-called 'Panlong Jue' and the treasure of Tunwhale Island are all lies and do not exist at all! Lu Qiuhong used this as bait to set up a poisonous plan, with the intention of killing hundreds of masters from dozens of our sects.
He caught them all in one fell swoop to seize the money and treasures we carried on this trip. Now we have fallen into his trap and the situation is really worrying!"
The fifty-five Jianghu sects who came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference" either brought heavy sums of money or rare treasures, hoping to sell them at the trading conference in exchange for the resources needed by their respective sects. Everyone was not
He came empty-handed, and the total amount of all these treasures was quite astonishing. Lu Qiuhong actually had the idea of plundering this treasure!
"Wanyi Sect" has a huge appetite. If Lu Qiuhong is a big thief, then the "World Underworld Alliance" can only be regarded as a small thief at best!
You must know that those who come to the "Wanyi Conference" are all elites from various sects. The strength of these two hundred first-class masters is definitely not something that any sect or force can compete with. If you want to touch this treasure, you must
Not an easy thing.
Master Baojing sneered and said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a bold and reckless person in this world. With the power of the Wanyi Sect, I dare to make enemies of all the sects in the world. I really admire this Lu Island Master.
!”
Master Yuanguang suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and said: "Amitabha Buddha, Tang Tanyue just said, our current situation is worrying, I don't know what it means?"
Tang Zilin sighed and said: "We are now trapped on this isolated island. I am afraid that the methods you just mentioned, such as building a ship or burning smoke to call for help, are not feasible."
Baojing Zhenren said: "Oh? What do you think, Master Tang? I think burning smoke to ask for help requires some luck, but we can still build a ship as long as we spend some time."
Tang Zilin said: "If it takes ten days and a half, with so many of us, it is indeed possible to build a ship, but we don't have that much time now."
He paused and said: "Just now I ordered my disciples to explore around this manor and found that there is no well in this 'Wanyizhuang', and there is no drinking water anywhere, even the wine in the cellar."
All the barrels have been broken. Now there is not a drop of water on this island for us to drink. I am afraid that in a few days, we will die of thirst and there will be no time to build a ship!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was suddenly moved.
If a person doesn't eat, he may be able to live for a while. If he doesn't drink water, he will die of thirst in a few days at most. And there are only so many days, so burning smoke and sending messages is the only hope of waiting for rescue by passing ships. It is hopeless, and even more wishful thinking to build a ship.
Tang Zilin said: "There is no fresh water source on this island. Originally, all the drinking water in this manor was transported by ship. Lu Qiuhong made this poisonous plan to trap us on this isolated island and wait. We die of thirst so that he can come back and collect the treasures we have brought.”
Yu Jun snorted coldly and said: "He has a good idea. Even if we are going to die of thirst on the island, we must destroy the treasure first so that he can get nothing!"
Tang Zilin smiled bitterly and said: "Having said that, we can't do that now. These treasures are bargaining chips that we can use to negotiate with Lu Qiuhong. If we destroy the treasures, it will not do us any good, and we can keep these treasures." , maybe it can also play some role in saving lives. Lu Qiuhong is very resourceful and must have decided on this issue long ago."
Qin Sang said bitterly: "No wonder the old thief was so generous and took out precious swords like 'Shen Hong' and 'Mo Yang' for us to fight for. It turned out that he had already planned it, but he would still take it back in the end!" "
Baojing Zhenren said: "For the current plan, do we still have to compromise with Lu Qiuhong?"
Tang Zilin said: "If we really have no choice, we can only compromise, but this is the last resort. Lu Qiuhong is extremely treacherous and cannot be trusted. So if there is another way to get out of trouble, it would be better."
He paused briefly and said: "I believe everyone already understands our current situation. If you have any ideas, please feel free to put them forward."
In such a dangerous situation, how easy is it to come up with a way out? No one in the hall said a word for a while. Yu Jun and Qin Sang were quite creative before, but now they are all closed up. mouth.
After being silent for a while, Qin Sang, who was still the "Emei faction", spoke up first: "My little sister believes that the current situation is serious, and we can only find a way out of the predicament by working together and working together. The so-called 'snake can't survive without a head', Nowadays, more than fifty sects on the island are doing their own affairs, and the people are scattered. A person in charge must be elected to preside over the overall situation. As long as we are on this island, we and other sects will all obey his instructions. Only in this way can we unify the efforts of everyone and strive for a glimmer of hope of escape. What do you think?"
What Qin Sang said is indeed very reasonable. Nowadays, dozens of sects on the island are divided into four major alliances. If you want everyone to work together, someone must lead the trend. Even if you want to compromise and surrender to Lu Qiuhong, someone must to preside over the decision.
These fifty-five sects are spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. They are usually based on one side. They are all powerful forces in one province and one region. Each has its own interests. Not only is it impossible to join forces, but they often fight due to conflicts of interest. But in the current predicament, everyone has no choice but to work together.
Master Yuanguang said: "What the Qin almsgiver said is true, and the poor monk also thinks so."
Master Baojing also said: "Yes, that's exactly what it should be."
