Traveling with the whole family through the library

Chapter 365 The Divine Machine Island Popularized by the Local People

Lin Qiaoqiao said: "Haha." Her eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and then, the smile faded, and she said: "I want to make an ecological boat, and flowers can be planted in it, and it can also be raised. Otherwise, floating on the sea, every day Eating seafood is very boring."

While paddling the oars, the fisherman interjected with a smile: "Madam, you have come to the right place. The boats on Shenji Island are the best boats in our locality. However, I have never seen them before. People on the island rarely leave the island. , unless Emperor Tang issued a summoning order, the big boats of Shenji Island could be seen going out to sea. The people on the island can fly. This distance is far away for ordinary people. For them, it is only a few hours. .Like those inner disciples, they don't need half an hour."

Lin Qiaoqiao withdrew her hand, swung it into the water a few times, looked at the fisherman with a smile, and said, "Brother's tone seems to be quite familiar with Shenji Island."

The fisherman laughed heartily a few times, "Haha." Then he said, "Shenji Island will be opened every five years to recruit disciples. The people nearby will send their children to the island to take part in the assessment. Do not really understand."

"When can the child who has been taken into the mountain gate leave the island?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"In the next five years, new disciples will be recruited." The fisherman replied.

"That's good." Lin Qiaoqiao said.

"Many children can't bear the hardships, and they don't want to go to the island after returning home. The law enforcement disciples will go out of the island and tie people directly to the island." The fisherman said.

"Haha. There is a sense of sight of an instructor." Lin Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"The eldest of our family went to the island the year before last, and I don't know if he can get into the outer door. Once the five-year period expires, if he fails the exam, the parents will take the child back. Some people insist on staying , If you stay, you can only be a handyman disciple. However, in the future, you will also have the opportunity to enter the outer door, or even the inner door." The fisherman said.

"It's so formal." Lin Qiaoqiao said.

"Yes, no matter what kind of disciple they are, Shenji Island will distribute monthly money to the children. There are books that record what tasks their children have done on the island, what meritorious deeds they have made, or violated those door rules. It is recorded in the book. There are also very rebellious children who were executed by the gate rules of Shenji Island." The fisherman said.

"There is no rule without rules." Xiao Ran said, then, he picked up the book again and continued to look at the book in his hand.This is a local miscellaneous note I bought after I came to Tang, which tells about the local customs.

The fisherman nodded, and said: "Young master is right, it is indeed the truth. Sigh, but it is somewhat unacceptable for someone's child to disappear like this."

"Every time Shenji Island recruits disciples, there must be a lot of people here!" Lin Qiaoqiao said.

"Yeah. Yes, even the Yan people have been here." The fisherman said.

"Yan country?" Lin Qiaoqiao was a little surprised. In terms of territory, Yan country and Tang country are really equivalent to the north-south level.People from the Yan Kingdom came to the Tang Kingdom to learn from their teachers. Even if they were highly skilled in martial arts, it would not take a year or two to get there.

"Who knows what the people of Yan State think, they came anyway. Every time when it comes to recruiting apprentices, we don't feel surprised that people from Qi State, Qianyue State, Jin State, and Chu State come here. The distance between Yan State Our countries are too far away, I didn’t expect people from Yan Kingdom to join in the fun. There is no need to mention the barren mountains and wild mountains along the way, just the Black Water City, it’s not something that ordinary people can pass.” The fisherman said.

"Heishui City?" Lin Qiaoqiao heard about this city for the first time.

Xiao Ran turned to the next page, and said: "The people in the Demon Sect of Chu State still have rules, but the people in Heishui City have no rules."

The fisherman said with a smile: "Young master also knows about Heishui City. I didn't know about it before. It was the children from our village who came back to tell the story. I heard that within miles outside Heishui City, there is not a single live bird. I heard that The bones in the city are piled up like a mountain, and the war drums hanging on the walls are actually made of human skin. In the woods outside the moat, there are mummified corpses hanging on the branches."

"It's so scary!" Lin Qiaoqiao stood on her head covered in hairs.

Xiao Ran said: "The skeleton is like a mountain, and the bones are like a forest. Human hair is like felt, and human skin is rotten into dust. Human tendons are entangled in trees, and the dry scorches are as bright as silver. It is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It really smells bad. The little demon in the east took the meat of living people; the demons in the west boiled the human flesh fresh. If the Monkey King was not so heroic, even the second ordinary person would not be able to enter his door."

The fisherman said: "Young master's description is too apt. The land is all red, and I heard that it was dyed red by blood."

"How did this Yan countryman come here?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked.

"People from the country of Yan want to come, so they have to go through Heishui City, and there is no long detour. Just like our countries want to go there, it is the same reason. I don't know how many people they have when they set off. Anyway, they will see it when they arrive at Shenji Island. Three people. The young master went to apprentice, and the other two stayed behind as servant disciples. There is no age limit for servant disciples, but only for disciples who are apprentices. They must be at least five years old and no more than 14 years old before they can enter. The door. If you want to enter the inner door, you must not be over 30 years old." The fisherman said.

"It's interesting." Lin Qiaoqiao said.

"On weekdays, there are many people who want to go to the island, like the young master and his wife, who come to our village to take a boat or a few villages next door. However, it may not be that Shenji Island will be opened. Most people return dejectedly." Fisherman road.

"I heard that as long as you bring enough money, you can invite disciples from Shenji Island to leave the island." Lin Qiaoqiao said.

"Well, that's right. But this is just a knocking brick, without 10 taels of gold, it can't knock on the door. Ma'am, do you see how deep the sea is?" the fisherman asked.When the sea wind blew, the fisherman stood up and identified the direction, then stopped paddling and let the boat drift along the sea.

"Why, is this going to throw 10 taels of gold into the sea?" Lin Qiaoqiao joked with a smile.

The fisherman flexed his muscles and bones on the boat, and said: "It's true. When we got there, I wanted to ask the people from Shenji Island for help. First, I threw 10 taels of gold into the sea. Then, it was up to the mood of the disciples of Shenji Island. I heard that every day The people on duty and patrol are different. So, when you meet a talkative master, the disciples on patrol will open the mountain gate after seeing the gold. If you meet a difficult talker, you need to invest 10 taels of gold a few more times Yes, it can be more than 10 taels of gold, but absolutely not less."

"Steal money." Lin Qiaoqiao said.

"Haha. There are many people raised in Shenji Island. If my children can successfully enter the outer sect, the monthly salary is 100 taels of silver. I heard that inner sect disciples are higher. There are also many benefits. Outer sect disciples There is no benefit if there is only monthly money. As for the handyman disciples, just like the new disciples, one month is months money, without any rewards. Unless it is meritorious service, Shenji Island will give rewards." The fisherman said.
