Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 370: Time for a Few People
The sea breeze, wrapped in sea fog and drizzle, blew on a ship in the fog, causing the sails to rustle. The white fog was thick and visibility was extremely low. Occasionally, a fish would poke its head out of the sea, and when it saw the ship with its dull eyes, it would immediately slip into the seabed.

The logo of the Jade Palace was painted on the side of the ship... Otherwise, how can we say the brilliance of Emperor Jingzheng's policy of ten martial arts champions? The Jade Palace enjoyed the convenience and privileges brought by the martial arts champions, so naturally it had to give them some face when facing people in the imperial court.

Guan Yunshu used Zhao Wumian's brand to not only easily obtain the map of the sea in the fog, but also borrowed the boat that the Jade Palace usually used for sea cruises, as well as several experienced sailors.

There are many reefs around Zhichi Tianya and visibility is low. If Zhao Wumian and others want to take a boat to the Penglai Islands, without the help of these sailors, they will have to swim on the seabed in less than a quarter of an hour, performing a survival struggle of one man and many women on a deserted island.

Huh? That seems to be a good idea.

Zhao Wumian, wearing a waterproof cape, stood at the bow, looking at the rough sea in front of him, his cape rustling, and he raised his hands high in high spirits, "ONE PIECE!"

With the inlaid gold Boshan furnace right in front of him, Zhao Wumian couldn't help but be excited. Unfortunately, the girls on the boat felt that the wind was strong and the rain was heavy, so most of them stayed in the cabin and no one would share his joy.

The nun was just holding a sword, leaning against the side of the boat, looking bored at the monotonous scenery outside the boat. When she heard the voice, she didn't even look at Zhao Wumian, but just sighed softly as if she felt embarrassed.

"You are so excited that I can't help but wonder if you plan to dismantle the ship after arriving in Penglai."

“Why would I want to dismantle a ship?”

The nun hugged her chest, which was no less than Su Qingqi's, in a defensive manner, "One man and many women, Huangdao Island to survive... What do you think?"

? Why did this nun know what he was thinking just now? Was it getting more and more exaggerated?
"I wouldn't do anything like that."

"Could it be that I am the one who has been bewitched by the witch and obsessed with women these days?"

"...I've heard of the Penglai Fairy Island for a long time. It seems like a good place to spend my whole life." Zhao Wumian jumped off the bow of the boat easily.

"Where is the ear?" Guan Yunshu raised his hand and pressed his hair that was dancing in the wind.

Only Zhao Wumian thought that Penglai was very famous. In fact, in this world, Penglai was just an ordinary island. If it were not for the ruins of the Zhubei Alliance, it is likely that several people would never come here in their lifetime.

Zhao Wumian looked at Guan Yunshu's delicate profile. The sea mist and drizzle made her life seem a little hazy, like the moon in the water.

He looked at it for a few seconds, until Guan Yunshu looked back at him in confusion, Zhao Wumian retracted his gaze, "With our martial arts skills, can we still be trapped on this small island?"

Guan Yunshu glanced at Zhao Wumian, then looked back at the sea.

"Martial arts are not omnipotent. I used Qinggong to walk on water, but I couldn't tell the direction in the sea fog. I thought I was running inland, but in fact I was lost and ran to the open sea. I couldn't see the land for a long time. When I ran out of energy, I would be fed to the fish, not to mention tsunamis and storms..."

"What you said really makes me want to destroy the boat after I get to the island. But even if I'm trapped on the island, as long as I have a magnet, I can make a Si Nan..."

"Humph." Guan Yunshu ignored him and turned back to the cabin, "Go back."

Naturally, they had prepared small items like Si Nan.

There were lights on in the cabin, and the sound of waves crashing through the wooden boards slowly rang in my ears.

Xiao Lengyue was wearing a plain skirt, leaning on a recliner, looking at the sea chart she got from the Jade Palace in her hand. There was a fruit plate on the small table beside her. She looked quite relaxed and comfortable.

There was a bed in the room. Mu Lier and Su Qingqi sat beside the bed, wiping the sweat off Luo Xiangzhu who had a high fever and was unconscious.

As they got closer to Penglai and the distance to Cuojin Boshan Furnace shortened, Luo Xiangzhu's high fever seemed to become more serious, and he showed no signs of waking up for a whole day... Normally at this time, he could still barely stay conscious enough to eat.

Mu Lier's pretty face showed worry, she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to bring Luo Xiangzhu along.

Although there are clues about the ruins of the Zhubei Alliance now, the specific location of Penglai can only be found thanks to the Jade Palace... When the Jade Palace was exploring the sea area, it must have sent people to Penglai, but now it seems that they have found nothing.

In this case, even if we rush to the island, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find the Inverse Gold Boshan Furnace. We can only hope that the Four Glazed Jades can play some role.

But this is really hard for Luo Xiangzhu. He instinctively fainted due to a high fever. Now he is still drifting around on the boat. Once he reaches the island, there is no telling what kind of danger he will encounter.

Xiao Yuanmu was sitting on a chair with a half-drunk pot of wine beside him. He was reading the letter sent by Luo Chaoyan over and over again, thinking about General Yi's matter.

General Yi's entire family died a violent death. Could the person who killed him be the same force that hunted down the descendants of the Zhubei Alliance?

Most likely, but they don’t have any clues at the moment, so they should focus on the present matter.

Seeing Zhao Wumian approaching, she raised her eyes and asked, "Now that you have transformed the green jade pendant into your body, have you sensed anything?"

Zhao Wumian picked up the wine jug and drank it all up. He breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, "I'll see after we get to the island... Where's Miss Shen?"

"She's sleeping in the next room..." Xiao Yuanmu looked Zhao Wumian up and down, "You didn't let her rest last night?"

"With such a powerful enemy at hand, I have no time to rest, not to mention her."

Xiao Yuanmu rolled her eyes at him. Now that she was only a few inches away from the Cuojin Boshan furnace, she didn't have the energy to say more about this matter.

"I just asked someone from the Jade Palace. It will be nightfall when we get to the island... Mo Jingxue, Guiyi, and Shamantian may all be on the island. We should take advantage of this little break to recuperate."

When she said the words "recharge your energy", she emphasized her tone and glanced at Zhao Wumian out of the corner of her eye.

Inexplicably, is there a better way to recover than dual cultivation? If Xiao Yuanmu's injuries had not yet healed, it would probably not be just a demon girl.

With beautiful fantasies about Xiao Yuanmu's recovery in mind, Zhao Wumian came to the bedside and touched Luo Xiangzhu's forehead, which was indeed even hotter.

"Would you like to eat something?" Zhao Wumian pushed Luo Xiangzhu's shoulder as usual.

But this time Luo Xiangzhu was unable to open his eyes to respond. The only sound that answered him was Luo Xiangzhu's faint breathing.

After staying in the warm cabin for a while, the sound of rain outside gradually subsided. Zhao Wumian pushed the door open and looked out. The surroundings were filled with sea fog and visibility was still low. However, the drizzle stopped, and through the sea fog, a hazy crimson light group could be seen in the distance.

The setting sun diffused through the sea fog, and the sea surface was dyed red.

Zhao Wumian looked back at the people in the cabin, "The rain has stopped, do you want to go fishing?"

The gentle Su Qingqi said gently: "Fishing is not easy. Most of the time, we can only sit there and stare blankly, calling it training our character... and we don't have a fishing rod."

Guan Yunshu looked a little helpless, "At this time, you still have the leisure to fish?"

"When we catch tuna, I'll give you fish soup. Not eating fish is only half a violation of the precepts against meat. Since you're so pretty, I'll knock on the wooden fish more often at night, and even the Buddha will forgive you."

Guan Yunshu had never eaten tuna, nor had she seen it, but as a Buddhist disciple, she would definitely not be interested in it, so she simply shut up and ignored him.

Zhao Wumian came to the bed, touched Luo Xiangzhu's forehead, and said to her, "How about I catch you a fish to eat? It's freshly caught, killed, and eaten. It's so fresh."

"Can you cook fish?" Guan Yunshu asked curiously.

Zhao Wumian looked at her blankly, "Don't you know how to do everything? I kill and you cook. But even if you don't eat it, it's probably considered a 10% violation of the precepts. You just need to knock the wooden fish a few more times at night to apologize to the Buddha."

The nun looked away in anger.

Mu Lier smiled, but Zhao Wumian suddenly raised his finger to signal for silence. However, Luo Xiangzhu's beautiful eyes opened a slit, her eyes dull as she looked at Zhao Wumian, but her pink lips pursed slightly and a faint nasal sound came out of her throat.

"kindness……"

These days, Luo Xiangzhu can't do anything and can only be taken care of like a dead person. Obviously, she doesn't want to continue like this... At least it would be good to go outside and get some fresh air.

Zhao Wumian directly lifted the quilt, picked up a coat and put it on Luo Xiangzhu, then ran out of the cabin with her in his arms.

"Let's go, let's go. I don't know if Princess Xiangzhu has ever fished before. If not, there is still a novice protection period to use."

Mu Lier was slightly startled when she saw this, and quickly took another coat and ran out of the cabin, "Put another piece of clothing on her..."

Seeing that Zhao Wumian was actually going fishing, Su Qingqi couldn't help but get up and ask the people from the Jade Palace if there were any fishing rods on the boat.

Guan Yunshu sighed helplessly and walked out of the cabin.

Only Xiao Yuanmu and Xiao Lengyue remained in the room and looked at each other.

"I'm going to look for Jiu Zhong later. He's probably the only one in the world who still has the energy to go fishing."

"He has been like this since he was a child, you know that..."

On the deck, Zhao Wumian, a skilled and courageous man, sat directly on the side of the boat, letting Luo Xiangzhu, who was wearing a coat, lean on his arms. In his hand, he held an old fishing rod that Su Qingqi had found from some corner, and carefully stuffed the bait on the hook.

Then he stuffed the fishing rod into Luo Xiangzhu's small hand, held the back of his hand, and threw it hard.

Under the setting sun, the fishing hook slid in an arc in the air and fell into the sea. The fog was so thick that the position of the fishing hook could not be seen clearly.

Luo Xiangzhu leaned on Zhao Wumian's shoulder, her nose full of the smell of the sea tide, the summer sea breeze brushed on her face, and her hair swayed gently in front of her forehead, which was very comfortable... It also made her look very beautiful, which made Zhao Wumian look at her a few more times.

If she just sat on the side of the boat, she would fall down if she wasn't careful. If it were the usual Luo Xiangzhu, she would never dare to sit here. But now, leaning on Zhao Wumian, she felt extremely at ease and not afraid at all.

She tried her best to hold the fishing rod with her small hands, but she just couldn't hold it with her strength. However, Zhao Wumian kept holding the back of her hand.

Luo Xiangzhu narrowed her beautiful eyes, not feeling the slightest bit uneasy. Instead, she stared intently at the sea fog, hoping that a fish would take the bait.

The deck became quiet again, but after waiting for a while, no fish appeared.

Mu Lier smiled. With Zhao Wumian by her side, she didn't have to worry too much. She quickly turned around and went back to the cabin. The older sisters had all gone back, and there were only a few young people left on the deck.

Guan Yunshu shook his head slightly, thinking that he was also confused... How could a martial arts master watch Zhao Wumian and Luo Xiangzhu fishing like a child?
She sat on the side of the boat, raised her hand to comb her ink-black long hair, and found that her hair was a little messy, so she took out a small bronze mirror and a comb from her bosom and combed her hair slowly and meticulously.

Guan Yunshu's hair was very long, and it was indeed troublesome to take care of it, but the little nun was very vain and didn't want to cut it short.

Crash——-
The sea breeze was blowing gently, a few ripples appeared on the sea surface, and the sound of waves was rhythmic. There was no oppressive feeling of impending storm, only a faint tranquility.

Su Qingqi didn't even look at the fish. After hesitating for a few seconds, she also sat sideways on the side of the boat, took out a jade flute from her arms, and put it to her lips. Her hair swayed gently in the sea breeze, and the empty and eerie sound of the flute came out with the wind.

The setting sun shone through the figures of several people, casting a few dark shadows.

……

After an unknown amount of time, they finally caught a fish… Zhao Wumian didn’t recognize it, but it was quite big and almost dragged Luo Xiangzhu into the sea.

Zhao Wumian held the fish in one hand, hugged Luo Xiangzhu and cheered loudly with her.

Shen Xiangge was awakened by the noise on the deck. He walked closer and looked at the few people, then walked into the cabin and looked at Xiao Yuanmu.

"What are they crazy about?" "Fishing."

Shen Xiangge frowned slightly, turned her head and looked towards the deck. Her voice became louder through the sea breeze, "Hurry up and eat the fish you caught. I'm hungry!"

"okay!"

Zhao Wumian carried the fish and jumped down from the cabin holding Luo Xiangzhu in one hand, then looked at Guan Yunshu, "You really need to knock the wooden fish a few more times tonight."

Guan Yunshu glanced at him and said, "I don't know how to cook fish."

"I'm not talking about cooking fish. I'm talking about you sitting next to me combing your hair. You look so beautiful. Only when you are in a good mood can you catch fish... You have contributed to Brother Yu's death..."

Su Qingqi's embroidered shoes were placed on Zhao Wumian's boots.

Zhao Wumian shut up immediately, and Guan Yunshu's pleasant laughter was heard on the deck again.

The freshly caught fish was delicious, and the fish soup was also tasty. By the time we arrived in Penglai, it was already night.

Zhao Wumian stood at the bow of the ship and looked up. The island in front of him was vaguely visible in the sea fog and his entire picture could not be seen. But at a quick glance, he could see that it covered a large area.

The sailors from the Jade Palace who came with them breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving safely in Penglai. The seas around the World's End were too complicated, and they were under great psychological pressure, so they smiled and said:
"My Lord, we have been to this place before. There should still be some things from our previous stay on the island, but where should we stay?"

Zhao Wumian nodded slightly and asked, "You haven't searched this place before?"

"My Lord, you are joking. The sea area around the world is so vast. There are hundreds of islands, big and small, if not thousands. It would be fine if we just come up to take a quick look to see if there are any living people, but can we scrape three feet of the ground on every island?
What's more, the land area of ​​Penglai Island is probably not less than that of our headquarters, and we don't have that much manpower and material resources, and there is no profit to be made from this matter."

Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you ever found any buildings on this island?"

"Too many." The man answered honestly, "This is a long way from home. It was a place of war before. Almost every island has a fortress tower from the Chen Kingdom. It would be strange if we found a deserted island nearby."

"This place is full of hidden reefs and sea fog. Do we still need to build arrow towers? I'm afraid the Rong people will be tormented before they even get close to us, right?"

"That's not the case. Our Jade Palace has only been established for sixty years. There wasn't so much fog in this sea area back then."

Zhao Wumian looked at Xiao Yuanmu beside him, and Xiao Yuanmu nodded slightly.

indeed so.

I didn't realize it before, but now that I know, I can't help but associate the Inlaid Gold Boshan Furnace with the fog... The scenery in the fog is real and unreal, and it probably has some of the charm of the Inlaid Gold Boshan Furnace.

After sailing around the island for a while, Xiao Lengyue leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the beach with an expressionless face, and found an empty new boat.

She narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Wumian.

Zhao Wumian also saw the boat, his heart sank, and he whispered, "Someone has found Penglai before us... It must be Shamantian and his group."

"It's a relief that they were able to get it one step ahead...where did they get the sea chart?" Su Qingqi was slightly stunned.

"Most likely stolen. It's not difficult for Wu Kui to steal anything. Wen Wuzheng is probably still holding the Sheath of Recluse and recuperating somewhere. It's impossible for him to return to Zhichi Tianya to take charge of the situation." Xiao Lengyue sighed lightly, but she was not too worried.

Without the four glazed jades, she didn't believe that Shamantian and the others would be able to find the Cuojin Boshan furnace as they wished.

"Shamantian and his men are traveling light, and they don't need a large group of us to come together, so it's normal for them to be faster. Maybe they are just carrying this small boat and running on the sea, and when they get tired, they can put the boat down and take a rest... After all, they don't have anyone from the Jade Palace to help them. If they really came by boat, they would have hit the reef long ago."

Zhao Wumian was also not worried and said with a smile.

The girls imagined the scene of Shaman Tian carrying a small boat on the sea, and they all couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise Wu Kui would have been humiliated.

Penglai is obviously not a deserted island, and there are obvious signs of human habitation. Not long after, you can see the pier and a series of buildings behind the pier.

With their eyesight, even through the sea fog, they could see that the building was dilapidated... No wonder the Jade Palace didn't want to spend time scraping the ground. After a decade, there was nothing worth mentioning.

Unless there is solid evidence of treasure on the island, it would be a waste of manpower and resources to search ten islands and find nothing on eleven of them.

The ship was docked at the pier. The wooden planks creaked when people stepped on them. It looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.

Everyone planned to stay nearby, mainly to guard the boat. Otherwise, if the boat was secretly dismantled by someone, would they be able to carry the small boat and run on the sea like Shamantian did?

This ship was built by the Jade Palace at great expense, otherwise it would not have been possible to sail freely in the seas so close yet so far away. The sailors of the Jade Palace cherished it very much and took the initiative to take the responsibility of protecting the ship. They stayed on the ship and even picked up tools to repair it that very night without taking a break. Everyone looked at the ship with an incredibly affectionate look in their eyes.

Most seafarers are like this, they regard their ship as their life. After Zhao Wumian asked a few more questions, he found out that this ship also had a name.

Called the beloved wife.

Could their beloved wives be bullied by others so easily? Although Zhao Wumian had taken advantage of her once and would obviously have to take advantage of her again on the way back, she couldn't be taken away by some other villain.

The Jade Palace had tents set up in an open space near the pier, which were equipped with all the necessary daily necessities. Although it was still a bit difficult, there was naturally nothing to be particular about in the wild.

The women were all from the martial arts world, so they wouldn't care about the harsh conditions. They just replaced the bed sheets, quilt covers and other things with new ones.

Kaka————

A bonfire was lit between the tents, sparks flying everywhere. Guan Yunshu set up a boiler on the bonfire and cooked with Su Qingqi.

Although the nun and Zhao Wumian quarreled, she never left out any meat when cooking for Zhao Wumian, but she herself didn't eat it.

Su Qingqi also warmed up a pot of wine for Zhao Wumian, which was very thoughtful.

Zhao Wumian jumped to a tall arrow tower, stopped and looked into the distance. His eyesight was actually not much different from that of a telescope.

Sea fog lingered on the outside of the island, but the inside was relatively clear. Although there was a light mist floating in the air, it did not affect vision. When he took a look at dawn, he was afraid that it would really be similar to the Penglai Fairy Island in Zhao Wumian's impression, with a fairy air floating in the air, and there were many birds and beasts, and many deer leaping in the woods.

Zhao Wumian was thinking about hunting a deer for a change, but he had brought a lot of food with him when he came here, so he didn't need any venison, so it would be better not to cause any more trouble.

Xiao Yuanmu also flew over and stood beside Zhao Wumian. He glanced at the dilapidated buildings below and said:
"My master and I just went to take a look at these houses, and we didn't see any traces of the Zhubei Alliance. I guess the Zhubei Alliance has also concealed their presence, and most of these buildings are just to deceive people. The real headquarters is probably hidden somewhere on the island."

Zhao Wumian nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Rest for one night first, and go to investigate tomorrow morning. Your injuries have not healed yet, so you should stay here and guard the Beloved Wife with Master, Guan Yunshu and the others."

Zhao Wumian didn't really care whether the Beloved Wife would be dismantled. After all, they wouldn't be trapped on the island even if the ship was lost. But Luo Xiangzhu obviously couldn't go out with Zhao Wumian to investigate. This was her 'Beloved Wife' and she couldn't afford to lose her.

Zhao Wumian planned to find the real ruins of the Zhubei Alliance first, and then everyone would take Luo Xiangzhu there together. This would obviously be safer.

Here in the base, Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu have not yet communicated with the bridge of heaven and earth. If they go out with Zhao Wumian, they will meet Shamantian and Mo Jingxue on the way, and Zhao Wumian will have to be distracted to protect them. Obviously, they should stay here.

The same goes for Xiao Yuanmu. Mu Lier had already agreed to protect Luo Xiangzhu closely.

Therefore, the people who should go out for exploration should naturally be Zhao Wumian, Shen Xiangge, and Xiao Lengyue.

To be honest, Zhao Wumian wanted to just leave Shen Xiangge and Xiao Lengyue here and go out alone, but this was obviously impossible.

Zhao Wumian was a man who had died once, so Xiao Lengyue alone would not allow him to act alone, let alone others.

After a brief discussion, Su Qingqi stood at the foot of the arrow tower and shouted to the two of them, "Come down to eat—"

Xiao Yuanmu sighed lightly. She also wanted to go with them, but her injuries had not healed yet, so there was really nothing she could do.

After jumping down from the arrow tower and sitting down around the campfire, Xiao Yuanmu took out the Zhan Yan hairpin and glass lamp that he carried with him and placed them on the ground.

The firelight was dim, and the two pieces of glass and four jades looked like fireflies in the night, glowing faintly.

Just by looking at the reaction, everyone knew that they had found the right place... the Cuojin Boshan furnace was obviously very close.

Once he is found, Zhao Wumian will be able to recover his memory... Not to mention recovering his memory, Zhao Wumian has a hunch that the bridge connecting heaven and earth may also be there at this moment.

His foundation has long been so deep that it is almost impossible to make any progress. In fact, if he had not recovered his memory, he should have broken through this barrier in Qingcheng Mountain...

Thinking of this, everyone's heartbeat quickened a bit, even the little nun's pretty face was flushed, she looked radiant and could not hide her excitement.

The little nun may have a sharp tongue, but when Zhao Wumian was able to find his aunt, she was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, and now is no exception...

Xiao Yuanmu held the Zhan Yan hairpin in his hand and looked at it, as if he remembered the moment when Zhao Wumian pinned it on her in the flower field.

The firelight reflected in her pupils, and in a trance, she thought it happened yesterday...but twelve years have passed since that day.

But Zhao Wumian and Xiao Yuanmu have been together for more than just twelve years.

Now, after twelve years, the time has finally come to get it back.

The four colored glaze jades and the inlaid gold Boshan furnace also took more than twelve years...

Xiao Yuanmu put down the Zhan Yan hairpin, looked at Zhao Wumian, and said softly: "Do you feel something in your heart?"

The green jade pendant turned into nothingness and entered Zhao Wumian's body. At this moment, he had already arrived in Penglai. He should be able to sense the approximate direction from somewhere.

Zhao Wumian nodded slightly and looked into the depths of the island.

He did feel something, as if something was tugging at his heartstrings.

Zhao Wumian knew that it was the wrong Jinboshan furnace calling him...

He stood up and sat next to Luo Xiangzhu, tilting his head to look at her, wondering if Princess Xiangzhu could notice anything.

Luo Xiangzhu frowned, wondering if she had noticed the mistake… She only noticed Zhao Wumian approaching, and she opened her beautiful eyes a little.

They looked at each other for a few seconds, and then Luo Xiangzhu suddenly opened her pink lips slightly.

I'm hungry... I want to eat...

Zhao Wumian laughed out loud, helped Luo Xiangzhu up and fed her.

Crash---

The waves hit the rocks, but it is not noisy, only quiet.
