Repairing the treasure ship on the hill is naturally the top priority at the moment.
Among the fifty-five sects, there are not many people who know how to repair ships. Apart from Peng San, the only one is the "Taihu Gang" from the previous six sect alliance. Tang Zilin assigned Peng San to be in charge of ship repair matters, "
He was assisted by the helmsman surnamed Hong of the Taihu Gang, and more than fifty people from the southwest sects such as "Qingcheng" and "Diancang" were dispatched as helpers to follow the instructions of Peng Hong and others.
The manufacture of sails was left to Qin Sang of the "Emei Sect", and the manpower of several sects was assigned to her for dispatch. There were many things such as curtains and sheets in the "Wanyi Manor", which were used for sewing.
There is no shortage of materials for making sails.
In addition to repairing the ship, Tang Zilin also assigned manpower from more than a dozen sects and asked them to divide their forces into multiple groups to explore the island.
This "Wanyi Island" is not too small. It runs at least ten miles from north to south. On the south side is a 100-foot-high cliff facing the sea, and on the southeast is a bay and a dock. The buildings in "Wanyi Manor" are actually only
It occupies a corner of the northeastern part of the island, while the mountains and rocks on the west and north are towering. No human traces can be seen, and only a few bushes can be seen faintly. Although it can be roughly inferred that there is no water source on this island, we sent people to search it.
It is very necessary. If fresh water can be found, the current difficulties will be solved immediately.
As for the other dozen sects, Tang Zilin assigned them the responsibility of guarding. Although all the "Wanyi Sect" people have evacuated, there are no powerful enemies on the island now. Those who were unable to escape from the manor originally
Dozens of maids and servants who do not know martial arts have been imprisoned. However, in such a strange environment, defense cannot be ignored. Tang Zilin is a wily and cunning assassin, and he knows it well.
This principle.
Tang Zilin was not only very reasonable in allocating affairs, he was also very smart in allocating manpower to various sects.
Among those involved in ship repair and sail making, in addition to Nangong Qihua Bushi and other six sect alliances, they were mainly members of the sects from the southwest territories that he originally commanded. Just because this matter was of vital importance, these direct descendants
He naturally trusts his sect more.
The task of exploring the island was handed over to more than a dozen sects on the "Wudang" and "Kongtong" sides, under the full command of Baojing Zhenren and Weng Yibai.
As for the warning and defense, headed by the "Shaolin", "Huashan" and "Putuo" sects, Master Yuanguang is the leader. Just because there are many masters in these sects, if the combat power ranks first among the original three parties, it is very important.
Suitable for this responsibility.
In this way, most of the sects that were originally allied are still cooperating together, and the forces of the various parties have not mixed with each other. Not only does it make it easier for everyone to cooperate with each other, but also some sects belonging to different forces can live together even if there is hatred.
, the possibility of causing a fight has been reduced to a minimum.
Half an hour later, Tang Zilin had assigned tasks to all fifty-five sects. And all the masters on the island immediately took action.
When people are faced with a crisis and have no way out, they can put aside their prejudices and work together. Only at this time can they maximize the potential of mutual cooperation.
Everyone on "Wanyi Island" is an important figure in their respective sects, and their status in the world is not low. But in the current situation, no one can care about these. In order to survive, even if
There was not a single complaint when doing rough work.
*
Hongzhu, Bai Yiling and other female relatives also went to help Qin Sang sew the sail.
Only Hua Bushi himself, Tang Zilin did not assign any tasks to him. This young master did not know martial arts, and his body was very weak. He was not suitable for searching and guarding. Even if he was asked to repair the ship, he would not have enough strength.
, it can be said to be completely useless.
At this time, he was sitting idly on the big mahogany chair in the conference hall, shaking a folding fan in his hand, while Tang Zilin was sitting at the table opposite Hua Bushi, and they were the only two people in the conference hall.
Tang Zilin looked at Hua Bushi with great interest, and suddenly said: "In Tingtao Pavilion, thanks to Master Hua's help twice, Tang was able to save his life. I should really thank Master Hua!"
Hua Bushi said: "This is unacceptable. What Hua Bushi did was to save himself. If the Tang Sect Master hadn't blown up the wall of the pavilion, I would have inevitably been burned to death in Tingtao Pavilion."
Tang Zilin said: "Lu Qiuhong set up this situation, which is extremely sinister. However, this incident can also prove that with Master Hua's wisdom and Tang's martial arts, he can get out of trouble even in a desperate situation.
.”
His eyes flashed and he looked at Hua Bushi and said: "Tang can say that if we work together, we will be successful in the world. Even Shaolin Wudang is nothing to be afraid of, but I don't know what Master Hua wants."
?”
Hua Bushi was slightly startled and said: "Tang Sect Master's words are serious. Now we are all trapped on this isolated island. Everyone follows Tang Sect Master's lead. Hua Bushi and the 'Evil Dog Sect' will naturally obey Brother Tang."
orders."
Tang Zilin smiled slightly and said: "Of course what Tang is talking about is not on this island, but on the cooperation between your two sects and mine after we escape from the island."
In fact, when Tang Zilin said the previous sentence, Hua Bushi had already guessed the implication of the deputy head of the Tang Sect, that he wanted to invite the "Evil Dog Sect" to join their alliance of several sects in the Southwest. Unfortunately,
So far, he has been unwilling to agree.
Hunan is adjacent to Sichuan and Guizhou, and Wuyang City in western Hunan is not too far away from Chengdu in Sichuan where the "Tangmen in Sichuan" is located. This is probably why Tang Zilin wants to win over the "Evil Dog Gate"
one.
As the saying goes, "It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree." There are certainly many benefits to forming an alliance with "Tang Clan", one of the "Seven Sects", and it is also something that many sects dream of. If you have a big backer like "Tang Sect", usually
The black and white factions must not dare to offend the "evil dog gate" easily again.
However, Hua Bushi is also aware that compared with the "Tang Clan in Sichuan" today, the "Evil Dog Sect" is far different in terms of strength and reputation. Without corresponding strength, even if they form an alliance, they will not have equal status.
In other words, once an alliance is formed, the "Evil Dog Sect" will inevitably become a subsidiary sect of the "Sichuan Tang Sect".
In fact, the alliance of Jianghu sects in the southwest is led by the "Tangmen" and "Emei" sects, and other sects such as "Qingcheng" and "Diancang" must obey these two sects.
His dispatches and instructions are exactly what Hua Bushi cannot accept.
This young master’s ideal is to build the “Evil Dog Clan” into the world’s largest gang. How can he be willing to depend on others?
Hua Bushi pondered for a long time and then said: "Hua Bushi is aware of Brother Tang's kindness, but now we are trapped here. Whether we can escape with our lives is still a matter of debate. Why don't we wait until you and I get out of trouble?"
We will consider it later.”
Although this remark did not directly reject it, it was tantamount to explaining that Hua Bushi had to consider the matter of forming an alliance before making a decision. The young master's answer surprised Tang Zilin. He originally thought, "
The "Evil Dog Clan" is just a small gang that is entrenched in one city and one place. If they are given the opportunity to form an alliance with a famous sect such as the "Sichuan Tang Clan", they should agree without hesitation.
Tang Zilin stared at Hua Bushi's face, and after a while he laughed and said: "Young Master Hua is right, this matter is not urgent. We will talk about it later."
He changed the topic and added: "Tang is very confident about the plan of escaping with a treasure ship. I think you and I will be able to escape from this island in two days. At this time, Tang sincerely invites Master Hua to come to Chengdu Mansion in Shuzhong."
I'm going to visit the Tang Sect's general altar for a few days. Will Young Master Hua be willing to honor me?"
Hua Bushi said with a smile: "The head of the Tang Sect invites you, how dare Hua Bushi not go? I have long heard that Chengdu in Sichuan Province is the land of abundance, and I have been yearning for it for a long time. I will have to go to your mansion to bother you for a few days."
Tang Zilin and Hua Bushi were both very scheming people, and within a few words of conversation and laughter, the embarrassment caused by the rejection of the invitation was completely resolved.
But at this moment, someone quickly ran in from outside the hall, but it was a Tang Sect disciple.
There was a look of panic on his face, and he saluted and reported: "Inform the deputy sect master that Taoist Master Zhengde of the Shangqing Sect and several disciples were attacked and killed in the valley to the west of the island!"
Tang Zilin's expression suddenly changed, he stood up and said, "This is happening! When did this happen?"
The Tang Sect disciple said: "That's the news that came just now. Master Baojing has led his disciples and rushed over."
Among Tang Zilin's assignments, masters from more than a dozen sects such as "Wudang" and "Kongtong" were led by Baojing Zhenren, who were responsible for searching the island and looking for water sources, and the "Shangqing Sect" was also among them.
Thinking that just a few hours had passed, someone was attacked and killed.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Half an hour later, Tang Zilin arrived at the place where Taoist priest Zhengde was attacked, accompanying him.
Several "Tang Sect" disciples also came.
Hua Bushi, who was doing nothing in the manor, also followed him.
This is a small valley at the southwest end of the island, surrounded by rocks and desolation.
The so-called valley is actually only tens of feet deep, and is more like a ravine. On the sandy mounds on both sides, there are some low grass growing here and there. Walking out from the west of the valley, there is the beach and coast.
Master Baojing had already arrived here with his people, and the bodies of Taoist Master Zhengde and the four Taoist priests from "Shangqingmen" had also been carried out of the valley and laid side by side on the grass.
In order to explore the entire island as quickly as possible, Baojing Zhenren divided his forces into ten groups and set out together to search various places on the island. Five people including Taoist Master Zhengde of "Shangqingmen" were one of them. It was just that they left the village.
After more than two hours, there was still no return to the manor, and no fireworks message was issued, so Baojing Zhenren sent people to search, and found the bodies of five people in this small valley.
