Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 327 Desert Island Refugees
Zhao Liulang also cut off contact.

Lin Jiang sensed the carriage outside and realized that it had just left the capital and was heading south. He figured it would be safe and sound along the way, so he decided to go straight to the library to study the pill formulas.

However, at that moment, Lin Jiang suddenly heard the sound of waves coming from the coffin again. And the woman from Dayin reappeared in the coffin.

Her scales twitched slightly, and a somewhat strange voice echoed from the coffin.

Lin Jiang was still puzzled, feeling that the words sounded like the heavily accented Daxing dialect.

After a short wait, the woman's scales twitched again, and this time, her words turned into a clear Daxing dialect: "Is anyone there?"

His voice was slightly shrill, with a heavy accent, but it was definitely authentic Daxing dialect.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang immediately replied, "There's someone here."

"You're not the same person from before. Who are you?"

Lin Jiang could clearly see that the woman in the coffin once again showed a wary expression on her face. However, this time she did not disappear directly, but asked Lin Jiang a few more questions.

"This is my training ground, which is spread throughout the world. People from all over the world can communicate here by touching a special coffin. You must have also encountered a coffin."

"A coffin...it's a coffin. Are you from Daxing?"

"They are quite good at speaking Daxing dialect."

"Your coffin is underwater, which is very inconvenient."

“You can take a piece from the coffin so you can contact me even without getting close.”

The woman remained silent, but quickly left the coffin.

Moments later, she reappeared there, the seawater beside her completely gone.

She was soaking wet, and the wariness on her face had visibly faded.

"can you hear?"

"can."

"Okay." The woman got straight to the point: "What can I do for you, and what can I get in return?"

"One thing at a time, if we can help, we will do our best."

"How can one thing be exchanged for another? If I want millions of dollars, can I repay with just one flower?"

"This is not a place to make wishes, and we may not be able to grant your requests. If you want to use this to harm your fellow members, then you are welcome to try it."

Lin Jiang's words carried a clear threat, but as he spoke, a sense of relief could be clearly seen on the face of the woman in the coffin.

Clearly, for a woman, Lin Jiang's direct pointing out that this place wasn't a windfall actually made her feel more at ease.

"what's your name?"

"You can just call me Young Master; that's the most common way people address me here."

“Then… just call me Da Yinren.” The woman pondered her name for a moment, then replied, “I want to ask if you can take me back from this deserted island?”

As she spoke, her tone was clearly filled with anticipation.

Lin Jiang pondered for a moment. He first placed his hand on the coffin and tried to pass the message "Return Home" along the coffin, but he soon found that this attempt had failed.

"Returning to one's hometown" is tangible and different from conventional methods, so Lin Jiang naturally couldn't simply abandon it and bring it to the other party's side.

So Lin Jiang went straight to the point and asked:

"Where are you?"

"Don't you know where your coffin is?"

"I did not build the coffin in the world. I have only glimpsed a corner of the method within it. Therefore, I can only confirm that the coffin is located in the middle of the ocean, but I cannot determine its exact location."

According to the map, there are a total of four coffins at sea, two of which are on the Da Yin side. We need to narrow down the search area.

After a moment of silence, the woman slowly spoke:
“I was traveling on a ship from the southeast of Dayin, heading to Qining Island overseas. On the way, I encountered a storm, the protective magic on the ship was broken, and I was caught in the storm and stranded on a deserted island.”

"alright, please wait."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang immediately headed towards the map shop.

Upon arriving here, he immediately noticed a bright, shimmering golden spot in the southeastern sea of ​​Dayin.

Below the golden dot, there was a small piece of land, about one-twentieth the size of the entire Dayin Kingdom.

Is this Qining Island?
If it were an island, wouldn't that be a bit too vast?
Upon closer inspection of the light spot, Lin Jiang's brows furrowed slightly.

The coffin was quite close to the edge of the world, and a faint layer of dark red light shimmered in the deep sea. Although there was still some distance to the coffin, a miscalculation at sea could easily send one plunging into it.

Some even thought that the woman's drifting to the deserted island might have been caused by a ship collision disaster, which the ship was unable to control properly and thus capsized.

In short, after determining the direction, Lin Jiang quickly returned to the coffin:

“I know where you are. I will contact the people of Dayin and have them try to pick you up.”

"it is good."

After the woman responded, she paused briefly and said, "I have nothing to offer in return. If I am fortunate enough to survive, I will do my utmost to repay this kindness; if I fail... I am afraid I will only be letting you down."

Her tone carried a subtle hint of coldness, but Lin Jiang could still detect the hidden fear within it.

Lin Jiang had no intention of criticizing the tone of someone who had endured so much hardship; he simply made a solemn promise that he would definitely pass on this message to the people of Dayin.

After all, even he himself couldn't guarantee whether he could successfully save the person, so expecting the other party to be extremely grateful at this moment was really not in line with his personality.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Lin Jiang asked the same question again, and after hearing it, the woman fell silent.

After a long silence, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Do you think you can get some food from this coffin? I've been stranded on this island for a long time, and now I'm defenseless. The wild beasts on the island are hard to catch, and the wild fruits around here are almost gone. I moved here to your coffin hoping to go fishing. But... this area of ​​the sea seems strange; there aren't many fish to be seen..."

Because many calamities lurk directly beneath that sea, many fish have probably sensed something amiss and dare not approach.

"Go find an edible plant."

"Ok?"

The woman on the island didn't know what this guy who called himself the eldest son wanted to do. At the moment, she really had no other choice, so she just looked around and found the place where she used to pick berries.

"arrive."

Lin Jiang also directly poured his life force into the coffin. The next moment, the surging life force overflowed outward from the lock in the woman's hand, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the surrounding bushes.

The woman stared wide-eyed as the shrub grew wildly at a visible speed, its leaves turning lush and vibrant green. Even more astonishingly, the branches at the top suddenly swelled up and became laden with abundant fruit.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the berries became round and plump, weighing down the treetops.

Subconsciously, I reached out, picked a large fruit, held it in my palm, and felt its reassuring weight.

She took a bite without waiting for it, and the sweet juice immediately filled her mouth, relieving the burning hunger in her stomach.

Even now, tears involuntarily streamed down her face and rolled onto the ground.

……

After solving the problem of the other person's hunger, Lin Jiang comforted her a few words, saying that he would send her a life force every three days to ensure that she could eat her fill. Then he closed his eyes again and focused his attention on the stone body in the misty town.

The stone avatar quickly came to life, and the tiger-robed figure beside it began to slowly stand and move forward, mimicking human movements. Upon seeing the avatar move, the two immediately looked over and asked:
"Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's nothing serious, I'm going out to look for someone."

Lin Jiang manipulated the stone avatar to slowly disappear into the distance. By this time, the thick fog had already enveloped the surrounding forest, so even if he went a little further, it wouldn't be a problem.

Before long, he reached the edge of the forest. Two watchtowers had been erected outside the forest, and soldiers from Qingniwa often patrolled the area.

Lin Jiang had briefly mentioned the forest to Master Zhao in the capital. Although he was unsure whether the soldiers guarding the area knew about it, it would be most appropriate to find them if he wanted to send a message through the carriage.

Sure enough, the soldiers on the watchtower in the distance were clearly surprised when they saw the stone incarnation that suddenly appeared here, and they stared intently at the figure that walked out of the forest.

Lin Jiang waited a moment and then saw a young soldier walking towards him from a distance.

The other person was dressed in heavy armor, with a serious expression, staring nervously at Lin Jiang, but dared not speak to him.

"I need to talk to you about something."

Lin Jiang suddenly spoke, startling the young man so much that he immediately reached for the hilt of his knife at his waist. As a result, he lost his grip, and the knife fell to the ground.

Lin Jiang remained silent for a moment, then bent down to pick up the blade from the ground and gently handed it to the young man.

The young man took the knife with immense embarrassment:
"What...what do you want to tell us?"

"Please go find the envoy from the Great Yin Dynasty. They have a ship that ran into an accident near Qining Island in the southeast, and some people are trapped there. You can send someone to go and check."

Soldier:"?"

He truly hadn't expected that the first thing the people in the misty town said upon emerging would be related to the Great Yin Dynasty.
