"Really? Really? We can really go home?" Chengyun hugged Gu Ling's arm and smiled like a child, "Great! I really hate this place, and I can finally go home. !”
Dinner was cooked by the cook and his wife who were captured to the island many years ago and have been enslaved by Mo Yan. They are about the same age as Lao Mu. The mute slave was born mute, not Mo Yan who made him mute due to poison.
The two of them live in a closed environment with no outsiders communicating with them. They no longer know what year it is. It can be seen that Gu Ling is a big shot, but they did not know him before. Because when they were captured and brought to Xingluo Island, Gu Ling Ling was not born yet. They were originally from the Qian country and knew the Gu family well.
Gu Ling asked them to sit down and eat at the same table. Both of them were a little scared.
"Don't be formal." Chengyun comforted them, "Although he is a big shot and looks very arrogant, he is actually a very nice person."
Sheng Yue chuckled, "That's true. He has only issued four death threats to me today. Although I saved his master, he enslaved me to chop down trees, otherwise he would blow me up."
When the mute slave and the cook heard this, they glared at Sheng Yue. In order to survive, the couple lived the same life day after day. They didn't know what was happening in the outside world, but they still saw what happened in the forbidden area. For Sheng Yue was very disgusted by his previous behavior of arresting three children in the cave. He also knew that Sheng Yue, as Mo Yan's confidant, was definitely not a good person.
When Cheng Yun heard what Sheng Yue said, he kicked him under the table, "You still have the nerve to say it? Why didn't you say you had done something morally corrupt?"
Sheng Yue knew that Cheng Yun hated him very much, so he didn't dare to quarrel with Cheng Yun. He said to the cook and the mute slave in a faint tone, "Let me introduce you two. He is my younger brother. He has the same father and mother."
The cook and the mute slave were a little confused. Gu Ling glanced at Feng Ming. Feng Ming immediately understood and said with a smile, "You two old people will eat first, and then I will tell you about the situation outside, so that you can have something in your mind before going out. number."
Sheng Yue said again, "After eating, we have to go on to build the ship."
Feng Ming was not polite, "Then it will be a lot of trouble for Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Yue: ...once he was considered inferior to one person on the island, but now his status is only a little higher than Mo Yan and the two elders in the dungeon, and lower than the cook and the mute slave.
Putting down his chopsticks, Gu Ling praised the deliciousness of today's meal, saying it was the best meal he had eaten since he left home last time.
The cook and the mute slave both smiled and were no longer as worried as before.
After the meal, Chengyun was clearing away the dishes, and Lao Mu took the initiative to say that he had had a good rest and was going to build a ship with Sheng Yue. Lao Mu had experience in this area.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Master, please rest."
Sheng Yue frowned, "I only have one hand. If you are not afraid of wasting time, just rest and wait until I can do it."
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "I'll go."
Feng Ming quickly said, "How about I go and let the prince have a chat with the two old people."
But Gu Ling had already gone out.
Sheng Yue hurriedly caught up and walked out side by side with Gu Ling. It was already dark and the moon was rising. Today was the fifteenth day. The moonlight was bright and made the shadows of the two of them very long.
Gu Ling remained silent, but Sheng Yue couldn't help but want to speak today, "If you go home, Su Liang can't make the magic weapon recognize its owner. What will happen then? After thinking about it, there is really no good way, as long as By letting Mo Yan encounter the magic weapon, he once again has a bargaining chip to threaten you. Saying that he is afraid of death, he is not afraid anymore even though he knows he will die. It is simply unexplainable."
Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "I'll leave this problem to you. If you can think of a good way, I can let you go."
Sheng Yue sneered, "You don't think I really can't leave now, do you?"
"If you can go astray but not go, it means you don't want to go." Gu Ling hit the nail on the head.
Sheng Yue's eyes narrowed and he paused for a moment. He shook his head and caught up with Gu Ling again, "You're right. After today's series of twists and turns, I really don't want to leave. No, I plan to follow you.
Let's go together. For no other reason than that, I just want to know whether the magic weapon can be changed. If it doesn't work, forget it. If Su Liang can, I..."
Gu Ling asked back, "What's wrong with you?"
Sheng Yue hummed, "I have nothing to say. It means that the magic weapon only recognizes those who have traveled through time."
When we arrived at the beach, the moonlight was shining, and there was no need to light a lantern. There were piles of wood on the ground cut by Sheng Yue and Feng Ming during the day.
Gu Ling picked up the tools and started working directly. His movements were very skillful and professional.
Sheng Yue muttered, "What kind of life did you live before? Why do you seem to have been a carpenter all your life?"
"I have a master who is an old carpenter from Sujia Village." Gu Ling was in a good mood at the moment and took Sheng Yue's words.
Sheng Yue asked while working, "I've never understood why you and your wife have to do so many things by yourself when you already have such status. Isn't it interesting to cook and wash the dishes by yourself?"
Gu Ling asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Sheng Yue was stunned by the question. Although he had never been a noble, he had seen it. After thinking about it, he said, "Being an emperor? Reviewing memorials every day, sleeping with different women and having children? This is not suitable for you. But at least servants in other families
In groups, there are people to take care of them, and in their free time they play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc."
"You think I can't?" Gu Ling asked again.
Sheng Yue sneered, "Is there anything you can't do?"
"Are you very unhappy?" Gu Ling asked.
Sheng Yue nodded, "Indeed. It's very enviable to have a genius like you in the world. But in the end, you met Su Liang and became omnipotent."
Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "There is one thing I can't do."
Sheng Yue raised his eyebrows, "What is it? You must tell me so that I can find a psychological balance."
As a result, Gu Ling said three words calmly, "Have a baby."
The ax in Sheng Yue's hand almost hit his leg, and he was speechless, "I'm sick..."
…
Feng Ming told the cook and the mute slave everything he knew about the situation outside, and it didn't take long. Because Feng Ming didn't know the details very well, he just needed to tell them that it was no longer cool.
The country and the Yan Kingdom were unified by the Duanmu royal family of the Yuanqian Kingdom. The emperor was Duanmu Chen, a good friend of Gu Ling and Su Liang, and they helped get the throne. Now Gu Ling is the regent, and Su Liang is Wu
Number one scholar, miracle doctor, female general.
After listening to this, the cook and the mute slave were even more grateful and moved by Gu Ling for treating them so kindly, and they looked forward to going home to find their former relatives.
Feng Ming asked them to rest early and said that if there was no wind or rain tomorrow, they should set off. The cook and the mute slave were very excited.
Afterwards, Feng Ming went to the dungeon to deliver food. Mo Yan and the two elders who were imprisoned before him were both alive and awake.
Mo Yan was bound by iron chains and sitting on the ground, with disheveled hair and a very embarrassed look. When he heard someone coming, he stared straight at Feng Ming, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity in the dark night.
Feng Ming put down the food and water and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mo Yan, "Xiao Feng, you should know that no one else can use my magic weapon. As long as you find a way to get it back for me, I will accept you as mine."
Adopted son, whatever you want, even in this world, I can help you get it! Are you willing to be Gu Ling's slave for the rest of your life?"
Hearing this, Feng Ming looked sarcastic, "Adopted son? You don't even have any affection for your own granddaughter and grandson-in-law. You just want to harm them to achieve your goal, let alone your adopted son? Even if you want to accept me as your righteous son.
Father, it's useless. You don't need to worry about my future." After saying this, he strode away.
And Mo Yan, who has been the local emperor on Xingluo Island for almost most of his life, was so ridiculed and humiliated by a young man whom he originally looked down upon, that he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. But now he has called the sky and the earth for no response.
Spirit, there is absolutely nothing we can do.
There is a secret passage in the dungeon that allows them to go out to the sea, but they are trapped and unable to move. The feeling of not being able to walk despite knowing that there is a road nearby has tortured Mo Yan his whole life.
After Feng Ming left the dungeon, he went to the beach with Cheng Yun to help. Although the matter was not resolved satisfactorily, it was considered to be over for the time being. They both hoped to leave and return to the capital as soon as possible.
…
Because of his injury, Lao Mu was asked by Gu Ling to take a good rest. When he woke up, it was already broad daylight. He had not had a good rest for many days. He took the medicine given by Gu Ling before going to bed last night and felt much better.
After Lao Mu washed up and changed into clean clothes and went out, the cook brought the food left for him, which was still warm, and said that Gu Ling and the others didn't come back last night. She had prepared the food early in the morning and sent it to the dumb slave to the beach.
Lao Mu finished eating quickly and then went to the beach.
There were two boats when they came. Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing used one to escort Peng Wu and the three children away. The other boat had been pulled out of the cave under the cliff by Feng Ming and Cheng Yun last night. At this moment
It's docked right next to the pier.
On the shore, a new ship has been basically built, and Gu Ling is doing the final finishing work. Sheng Yue fell asleep leaning on a tree not far away, Feng Ming was helping Gu Ling, and Cheng Yun was there.
Pick up fallen nails on the ground for fear of hitting someone.
Gu Ling saw Lao Mu coming and asked him how he felt.
Lao Mu said cheerfully, "It's much better, don't worry." Then he walked around the new ship and nodded, "It's okay."
"Time is in a hurry, so make do with it." Gu Ling said.
Lao Mu looked at the vast sea, facing the direction of the capital, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally, this serious problem has been solved, and I can go home." Although there are still problems left, Lao Mu believes that we can wait.
When Gu Ling and Su Liang reunite, they will find a solution.
In fact, Lao Mu, Cheng Yun, and Feng Ming all believed that Su Liang could make the space recognize its owner, and it was only a matter of time before he could rescue the people inside.
Before noon, both ships were ready and ready to go to sea.
The cook and the mute slave couple also rushed to prepare a lot of dry food.
After finally having a meal on the island, Sheng Yue asked Gu Ling what his plans were for the forbidden land, "Should we blow it up or not?"
Lao Mu felt that it should be blown up and the whole thing would be over with, so that Mo Yan would not have to worry about it, and would also prevent travelers like Mo Yan from coming here from that road to cause trouble.
Chengyun and Feng Ming both expressed their agreement with Lao Mu's views.
But Sheng Yue said, "It doesn't matter if you keep it. Anyway, Mo Yan has lost his magic weapon. Once he leaves, you can't let him come back alive. In the future, Gu Ling, you can bring your wife and daughter to play here. Maybe Su Liang can also
I’m interested in going into the water and taking a look.”
When Gu Ling and Su Liang first got married, Gu Ling said that he would travel around the world with Su Liang in the future to find the legendary fairy island. But what he was referring to was definitely not Xingluo Island, which has a beautiful environment but is full of evil people.
The ghost place.
"Destroy it," Gu Ling said. He believed that Su Liang might be interested in coming to Xingluo Island to see it, but he had absolutely no interest in the journey through time that would cause countless harm, and would never try it.
Gu Ling, who was once interested in time travel, now just wants to stay with Su Liang for the rest of his life and watch their children grow up.
Lao Mu immediately took out the explosive bag he had made and prepared early, "I'll go right away!"
Chengyun caught up and said, "I'm going to help."
Sheng Yue followed slowly and leisurely, "I'll go and witness it to see if any miracle will happen."
Gu Ling didn't look and only told them to be careful.
Feng Ming asked Gu Ling if he wanted to prevent Mo Yan from knowing that the forbidden area was bombed. If the magic weapon needed to be opened by Mo Yan later, he might commit suicide or go crazy after learning that the forbidden area was gone, and it would be difficult to control it.
Gu Ling shook his head calmly, "Don't worry about people like him committing suicide, he cherishes his life the most."
…
In the dungeon, Mo Yan was drowsy with his eyes closed. Suddenly he heard a loud noise outside and the surrounding stone walls were shaking. He suddenly opened his eyes.
Elder Song sighed, "The forbidden area was bombed."
"Impossible!" Mo Yan kept shaking his head, "They can't open the magic weapon. There are people inside, and they want me!"
Elder Pang snorted coldly, "What's impossible now? How do you know they haven't opened your magic weapon yet? I don't know whether you can survive. Anyway, Lao Song and I are going to be killed by you this time."
"
On the other side, Sheng Yue watched from a distance as the mountain where the water pool was located collapsed. The cave was filled with stones smashed in the thick smoke, and no water was seen flowing out.
Lao Mu felt that it was not enough, "What if the stone is dug out, will the ghost place still be there?"
Anyway, there was still a lot of explosives brought, so Lao Mu found the location of the water pool and used up all the explosives, blowing up a big hole.
After calming down, Sheng Yue and Cheng Yun went over to search, but found nothing special, let alone any miracles.
Chengyun clasped his hands together and recited, "Amitabha. What we do is to act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate disasters and hidden dangers."
Sheng Yue complained, "Why do you recite Buddha's name when your hair is so long?" Cheng Yun kicked him before he finished speaking.
Since Gu Ling wanted to keep Sheng Yue, Lao Mu didn't bother to pay attention to him. Now he was in a hurry to go home and did not settle the debt with Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue confirmed that Elder Song and Elder Pang were not good people and had harmed countless people over the years.
It was useless to keep them now, so Gu Ling asked Sheng Yue to deal with those two people, then knocked Mo Yan unconscious and brought them out of the dungeon.
Finally, everything was ready and it was time to set off.
In order to prevent Mo Yan from taking control of the magic weapon again, the arrangement of the two ships was that Gu Ling and Sheng Yue took the small boat to go first, and Lao Mu, Cheng Yun and Feng Ming, took Mo Yan and the cook Yu Nu to go behind in the larger boat.
.
Chengyun frowned, "Why can Sheng Yue go with you?"
Sheng Yue chuckled, "Gu Ling is in a hurry to go home and doesn't want to take you with him to delay the time, but he must take me with him, otherwise if I let me stay with you, you may be betrayed by me."
Gu Ling slapped Sheng Yue onto the boat and said, "Let him be the boatman."
Lao Mu agreed with Gu Ling's arrangement, "That's very good. You go home first to report that you are safe, and let Xiao Liang try to see if he can use that magic weapon early. We will rush back later." When we get to Kasyapa City and land, we can arrange for someone to escort us ashore.
The cook and the mute slave will not go home much later than Gu Ling.
…
As the boat sailed out to sea, Gu Ling looked back at Xingluo Island, which was left behind.
Sheng Yue looked forward and said half-jokingly, "You have been out for so long. Will Nuannuan not even recognize you when you get home?"
Gu Ling sat down with a calm face, closed his eyes and rested his mind, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Sheng Yue coughed lightly, "Last question. Do you have other purposes for keeping me? I always feel that you don't mean well."
Gu Ling replied, "After landing, you are responsible for finding those scum who left Xingluo Island before. Kill those who deserve to be killed and save those who deserve to be saved. You should know them very well."
Sheng Yue was stunned for a moment. He had long forgotten those people. Unexpectedly, Gu Ling was still thinking about them, "I do know those people, including where they caught the women. I have investigated them secretly. You can say
, no one else on Xingluo Island knows more than me about this, including Mo Yan, who doesn’t care about the women who were captured. I know that the twins who were with me in the cave before were the old general Peng Wei of the former Liang Kingdom.
My great-grandson, you and your wife are very close to the Peng family."
Sheng Yue collected the information, thinking that it might be useful in the future, but at that time he did not think about saving those poor women.
"Very good." Gu Ling said.
Sheng Yue's eyes flashed slightly, "You actually think that I can do good things without your control? Where do you get your confidence in me?"
"I'm not catching you now, you can leave." Gu Ling said with her eyes closed.
Sheng Yue looked at the vast sea, where could he go? But what about after landing? There seemed to be nothing he wanted to do or where he wanted to go...
After a long time, Sheng Yue replied to Gu Ling, "You are not afraid that I will run away, so what should I be afraid of? As for what you said, let's wait and see."
