Hua Bushi smiled and said: "My young master came to this island with Mr. Peng, who is best at ocean navigation. He said that in two days, a huge storm will hit, and when the tide rises, the island will be flooded."
Outside of this manor, we only need to repair the huge ship within two days, then push it into the sea, and then we can sail away and get out of trouble."
Hearing Hua Bushi's words, all the masters of the "Seven sects" in the hall were surprised and happy, but with doubtful looks on their faces. To predict the storm on the sea, even veteran sailors who have been sailing for many years must
It is also difficult to do, but I don't know who Peng San is, and he has such ability, so these people are all doubtful.
Only Nangong Qi was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Great! That Mr. Peng is really a god! When we came to the island on the White Oriole, we were chased by pirates. It was he who predicted the direction of the wind.
, I can’t escape until later. Since he said there will be a storm in two days, he must be right!”
Tang Zilin still had doubts in his heart, and said: "If it is true as Master Hua said, it will be a good opportunity for us. But I don't know if this Mr. Peng is Master Hua's servant. Is this storm possible? And even if
If there is a real storm, it is hard to tell whether the tide will reach the island several miles away and flood the outside of the manor."
Hua Bushi said: "Peng Sanye is a wise man from Nan'ao Chaiyuan, not a servant of mine, but he has extraordinary abilities, and what he said about the tide should not be false. Moreover, the Tang Sect Master can
Have you ever wondered how that giant ship came to the hill outside the village?"
Tang Zilin said: "Tang saw the 'treasure ship' when he arrived at the village. According to the introduction from the people in the village, Lu Qiuhong bought the huge ship with special money and managed to transport it here."
Hua Bushi said: "The people from Wanyi Sect also said the same thing to this young master, but it is definitely not the truth. The 'treasure ship' weighs a thousand tons. To transport it to the shore, at least thousands of people are needed. How can Lu Qiuhong come up with so many people?"
Manpower? Judging from Hua Bushi, this 'treasure ship' has been on this island for a hundred years. It must have been that when the fleet of the 'Sanbao Eunuch' passed here, it encountered a storm and the flagship ran aground on the rocks of the island.
, so the wreckage was left here.”
When Tang Zilin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Young Master Hua's guess is indeed quite reasonable. It is extremely difficult to move such a huge ship ashore. Even if Lu Qiuhong has so much manpower, there is not much need to do such unnecessary things.
And if the ship was left on the island because it ran aground, it means that the tide must have flooded the location of the shipwreck. Based on this, it can be inferred that Peng San’s idea of using the tide to escape on a giant ship became feasible.
Lift.
Hua Bushi said: "If you want to know the truth, it is not difficult. I have just asked Peng San to go outside the village to inspect the huge ship. Whether the ship was moved here or stranded on the rocks, from Peng San's perspective, it must be
If you can tell, you just need to send someone to call him in and ask him."
Tang Zilin slapped the table and said, "There's no need to call. Why don't we go out of the village together and check out the huge ship? Tang is also about to go see Mr. Peng!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※When Tang Zilin and the leaders of various factions left the "Wanyi Manor", the ship
The "Invincible Treasure Ship" was still leaning quietly on the hill, and Peng San was on the deck of the giant ship.
The side of this ship is more than eight feet high. Everyone is a master of Qinggong. After a few ups and downs, they have already boarded the giant ship. Only Hua Bushi does not know martial arts, but it is Tang Zilin who takes him and flies up. Arrived on the boat.
Previously, everyone had only watched the ship from a distance, but now that they were on the deck, they could even more appreciate the incomparable enormity of this "treasure ship".
Such a wide deck is more than enough to accommodate a thousand people, and if such a huge ship is to be maneuvered, at least hundreds of sailors are required to do it.
Peng San saw people getting on the boat from a distance and walked over quickly.
When he came closer, he smiled with a smile on his face, bowed in all directions, and then said to Hua Bushi: "I have already inspected this boat. It is really very old. When it ran aground on the stone, it was hit again. Several of the ship's planks on the outer side are broken. If we don't spend some effort to repair it, I'm afraid it won't be able to sail!"
Everyone looked at Mr. Peng intently, but all they saw was that he was short in stature, wearing a gray cloth shirt, wearing a pair of hemp shoes, and speaking with a weird local accent. He looked very vulgar, and he really didn't look like an expert who could predict the celestial phenomena. At first glance, they look no different from ordinary servants in wealthy households.
Everyone in the "Seven sects" has a high status in the world, especially Yu Jun, the elder of the "Huashan sect", who has an arrogant personality. A few others even slightly tried to return the favor, but Yu Jun did not. He just snorted softly in his nose, obviously looking down on Peng San.
However, Tang Zilin showed no sign of arrogance. He cupped his fists and said, "Is this gentleman Peng Sanye from Nan'ao Chaiyuan?"
Peng San said: "Master Tang, it's easy to say, I am Peng San."
Tang Zilin asked: "I heard from Young Master Hua that Mr. Peng can predict that there will be a storm on this island in two days and the tide will submerge the island. We can take this boat to leave this isolated island. Is this serious?"
Peng San smiled and said: "Tang Sect Master doesn't know that God and I have a relationship, and he will always give me, Old Peng, some face. This storm is definitely inevitable, but when the time comes, can we use this The ship may have escaped, but it’s still not certain.”
Tang Zilin said: "Are there any other difficulties?"
Peng San said: "As I said just now, the outer side of this boat was damaged. It will take a lot of effort to repair it. There are no sails on this boat. We have to make a few sails in a hurry, otherwise it will still be repaired. Can't leave."
Although the wreckage of such a huge ship is relatively well preserved and the people of "Wanyi Sect" must have maintained it frequently, it is by no means an easy task to let it sail on the sea again.
Peng San had already carefully inspected this "treasure ship" before, and he did not hide anything at this time and told Tang Zilin one by one about the areas that needed to be repaired.
In addition to the sides of the ship that were damaged when it ran aground, there are also wooden boards in many places that are rotten and damaged, and the steering gear is also damaged and not functioning properly. There are no sails on the ship now, and only nine bare masts are left, which could have been used to carry ten Even if it was impossible to make so many of the six-sided giant sails in a hurry, at least seven or eight would need to be made in a hurry to use the wind to drive the ship.
These sails are several feet in size and are not easy to make.
The most difficult thing was that the ship was stranded on the rocks. Even if a storm came and the tide flooded the village gate, we had to find a way to get the ship off the rocks and slide into the water.
The ship weighs a thousand tons, and it is extremely difficult for humans to make it slide several feet.
After listening to the many matters listed by Peng San, Tang Zilin not only did not feel despair, but became more confident in using this "treasure ship" to escape from this isolated island.
Nowadays, there are more than 200 people from more than 50 sects on the island, and there is no shortage of manpower. Although these things are complicated and some are quite difficult, they are not impossible to solve. After all, repairing a ship is better than building one now.
Much easier.
Tang Zilin was most worried before, but what Peng San said was untrue. But now when he saw him, although he looked rough, his words were very orderly. He was obviously very proficient in ship navigation, and he must have some skills. Tang
Zi Lin believed even more about what he said about the storm.
In fact, in the current situation, there is no other choice. Although it is quite difficult to repair the ship and escape, as the saying goes, it is man-made and there is a way out, which is much better than being helpless and waiting for death.
Thinking of this, Tang Zilin immediately made up his mind.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※At dawn, all the people from all the sects on the island were summoned to the "Wanyi Manor"
In the open space outside the front door.
The news that there is no water source on the island has spread among everyone. Now everyone knows the current situation, and many people have a look of fear and panic on their faces.
On the steps in front of the door, Master Yuanguang, Master Baojing and Tang Zilin stood side by side. Behind them stood the people who had previously discussed matters in the conference hall, including Hua Bushi.
Master Yuanguang spoke first, explaining the current predicament to everyone, and then announced that the four forces had formed an alliance, with Tang Zilin taking the lead. As expected, although the people in the various sects below the steps made a commotion and argued,
No one raised any objection.
Tang Zilin took a step forward, came to the front of the steps, and said loudly: "Tang is not talented. He was recommended by Master Yuanguang and Taoist Master Baojing to temporarily serve as the leader of the alliance of various factions on this island. We are currently in a dangerous situation, and everyone must also be aware of it."
We all know that Lu Qiuhong is sinister and vicious and wants to catch us all in one fell swoop. If we can’t find a way to escape from this island, everyone’s lives will be in danger!”
He paused briefly and then said: "For the current plan, we can only work together to get out of trouble. If we don't work together, there will be only a dead end! From now on, Tang hopes that everyone will obey the order and act.
The past personal grudges between the respective sects will all be put aside for the time being before escaping from the island. If Tang discovers that someone is seeking revenge on the combatants due to personal grudges, he will definitely take his life with his own hands!"
Tang Zilin had been in a high position in the "Tang Clan in Sichuan" for a long time, so he knew how to intimidate people's hearts and nip trouble in the bud. His words were spoken with force and force, and they were able to inspire everyone to share the same hatred and hatred.
Then Tang Zilin immediately told the plan of using the "treasure ship" to escape from the island. Everyone had already felt that there was no hope of escape, but after hearing this plan, they had hope again, and they were immediately inspired, and Tang Zilin also began to ask everyone
Members of the sect assign tasks.
Hua Bushi stood aside and secretly promised that the deputy head of the Tang Sect was decisive in dealing with matters and allocating people in an orderly manner. He was indeed worthy of being the person in charge of a famous sect.
Repairing the treasure ship on the hill is naturally the top priority at the moment.
