The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Zhao Tong looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and the blurred shadow of an island appeared in his sight.

The last time he went to sea was Dengzhou, Shandong, which is far away from here, one is in the north and the other is in the south. He doesn't know the sea area of ​​Taizhou Xianju.

Although maritime affairs are complicated, there is a compass now.

Shen Kuo once explained the installation and use of the four magnetic needles in "Mengxi Bi Tan", and pointed out that the magnetic needle does not point completely to the south, but the direction is slightly easterly.

Zhu Yu's book "Pingzhou Ketan" written in the first year of Xuanhe records: "The boat master knows geography, the stars at night, the sun during the day, and the compass when it is dark."

This is the earliest record of using a compass for navigation in the history of world navigation.

The book "Pingzhou Ketan" is Zhu Yu's record of his father Zhu Fu's experience. His father Zhu Fu lived in Guangzhou from the second year of Yuanfu to the first year of Chongning.

That is to say, in the first year of Chongning at the latest, the Song Dynasty began to use the compass for navigation, and if the production method was explained according to "Mengxi Bi Tan", the use may be earlier than Chongning.

However, Zhao Tang didn't bring a compass with him, so he never thought about going to sea in a hurry, so he was naturally not prepared.

As for the compass or other items that indicate the direction on the ship, he didn't know that such things were extremely important to the ship, and most of them were placed in the rudder room, which was guarded and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

Although Zhao Tong didn't have a compass on him, judging from the offshore direction of the ship yesterday and various signs on the sea, he vaguely felt that the ship was heading east and north.

That is, the northeast direction of Xianju Estuary.

At this moment, the island in front is getting closer and closer. Surrounded by green trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers, there are many wooden houses and even small wooden buildings. It can be seen that it is a place like a paradise.

The sea ship is approaching, looking down from the deck railing, the sea is clear and there are no waves, and you can see the fine white sand at the bottom.

The water is clear and transparent, and everyone is excited to wait and see, feeling that the scenery is too beautiful, at this moment someone suddenly shouted: "Look, there are people in the water."

Someone shouted again: "Looks like a little girl!"

Zhao Tang followed the hero's fingers and saw someone swimming in the sea not far away.

The sea water is like blue glass, a young lady is wearing a shark skin swimsuit, swimming gently in the water, the tight fitting water suit reflects her slim and graceful figure, the young lady's long black hair is swaying in the water, her body is like a fish Generally agile, occasionally showing a side of the face, it is actually beautiful and charming, which makes people's heart beat.

A hero couldn't help shouting on the boat: "What a mermaid!"

Some laughed ambiguously, and shouted: "Little lady, don't swim anymore, go to the shore to rest."

Some more heroic men winked and called, "Which family does the young lady belong to? Is she married?"

The young lady showed a beautiful face of peach blossoms from the water, showing a charming smile, lightly pursed her cherry lips, and said something that no one on board could understand, which seemed not to be a Chinese language.

Zhao Tun's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, his expression was instantly indifferent, he narrowed his eyes, and stared at the woman in the water!

Dongying dialect, this woman speaks Dongying dialect, she is from Dongying!

In fact, since the Tang Dynasty, the name of Dongying Kingdom has been the same as that of later generations. However, in China, no matter whether it is the court or the people, they don't like to call it by that name, but they are used to calling it Dongying, or Wonu Country...

Zhao Tun never thought that he would meet people from Dongying this time when he went to sea!

With the speed of the ship under his feet, it is impossible to get close to Dongpu in one day and one night, even half the distance, not to mention that the ship is not traveling in a straight line.

Hero Island must be on the sea on the side of Taizhou Xianju, that is the side where the Dongying people came.

Is there any collusion between Hero Island and Wonu Kingdom? !
Zhao Tun's face became colder and colder. At this moment, the Sunshine Envoy came out of the warehouse. He glanced at the crowd, and then his eyes fell on the woman in the water. Then he coughed lightly and said, "This woman is from Dongying country. You don't need to talk about it, she may not understand our words, and you can't understand her language either."

Zhao Tang glanced at Sunshine, there are very few people in Song Dynasty who understand Dongying dialect, almost none in the rivers, lakes and green forests, he doesn't know if Sunshine understands it, but he understands the meaning of this woman's words.

The reason is very simple. Before time travel, he was good at several languages, and Japanese is just one of them.

What the woman said in the water just now was: "Wow, there are so many people, they are not another group of idiots!"

Zhao Tun's eyes fell on the woman again, seeing that she was half floating on the surface of the water, looking pure and innocent, but her eyes were slyly shining, and there was a hint of teasing smile at the corner of her mouth.

Zhao Tang stared at the woman, Moses Moses, believe it or not, I will strangle you to death!
He made a vicious pinching motion at the woman. He was not of my race, and his heart was cruel and merciless.

Sensitive, the woman turned her head suddenly and saw Zhao Tama's hand-circling movement and fierce expression, she couldn't help showing a sweet smile, then plunged into the sea and swam towards the shore.

The hero on the boat wondered why there were Dongying people on Hero Island, so he asked the Sunshine Envoy.

"Master Messenger, why are there Dongying people on the island?"

"Yeah, I heard that Dongpu is far away, on the other side of the sea, what are they doing here?"

"I don't think it's Dongpu's fishing boat that lost its way and drifted here?"

"Blind your dog's eyes, look at that woman's swimsuit, you will know that she is proficient in martial arts, where is the fishing boat lost!"

The Sunshine Envoy pondered and said: "This time, the island owner invited the Dongying people here, just because of the matter that has been unsolved for decades. The island owner is old and anxious, so he made an exception this time and went to the Jianghu of Dongying. Samurai, and...the warriors of Goryeo."

Goryeo?All the warriors from Goryeo have come?The heroes on board were a little dumbfounded. Compared with Dongying, they were more familiar with Korea.

Goryeo professed ministers to Song, but at the same time paid tribute to Liao. One country has two masters, which is reduced to a joke. Song and Liao also look bad, very embarrassing.

But Goryeo's martial arts... The heroes looked at each other in blank dismay. Since the Song people were more familiar with Goryeo, they knew that Goryeo didn't seem to have great martial arts, and it was far inferior to Dongying in this respect.

Someone said: "What kind of skills does this Korean warrior... have?"

The hero next to him said, "I've never heard of it!"

Someone frowned again: "What can they solve?"

Another good man sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's not a sham, let's watch the fun!"

Zhao Tong closed his eyes and meditated. In Goryeo, apart from the Hwarang Dao created by the Hwarang Knights in the Silla era, there was no handed down martial arts. As for this Hwarang Dao...it is different from the court performances of later generations, and it can kill people!

At this time, the Sunshine Commander commanded the ship to fix the anchor, and then looked at the crowd and said: "Since we have arrived on the island, I will not hide some things from you, this is the last time for the Heroes Conference held every ten years on the Heroes Island. "

Everyone was surprised and asked why.

The Sunshine Envoy said leisurely: "The old island owner, after he became a master in the Central Plains, he once challenged Li Xian, who is known as the invincible Northland Turning Day Needle, but was defeated by Li Xian's ghostly red thread flying needle, and was seriously injured. I came to this hero island after traveling far overseas."

When he said this, everyone was surprised. Li Xian and the others knew that it was an existence that was known as invincible decades ago, and Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor of the Western Mansion who is currently in power, is Li Xian's successor.

The Sunshine Envoy continued: "At that time the island was unknown, the owner of the island went to the island to recuperate from his injuries, but found that this place was not untouched, not only was it inhabited by people, there were many gold, silver and jewels hidden there, and even a great war took place! "

At this moment, the boat has stopped, the pedals have been set up, and they can go ashore, but no one moves, and they are all listening to the solar envoy telling the secrets of Hero Island.

"The battle on the island did not come from the beacon fire, but the sea battle between the rivers, lakes and green forests many years ago. The island owner and his old man discovered a lot of secrets, and even found an opportunity."

"The owner of the island deduced the cause and effect of the battle. After burying the bones of those people, he named the island Heroes Island, and then began to study the opportunity. He planned to go back to the Central Plains and find the Northland after he understood the cause and effect of the battle. The invincible Li Xian will compete."

"But it's a pity that after decades, Li Xian was dead, but this opportunity was still not understood. Later, the island owner, the old man, sent me ashore every ten years to invite comrades in the rivers and lakes to join in the discussion, and Xu paid a lot of money, but in the end, no one can understand it."

"Now that the owner of the island is over a hundred years old, and aware that the end is approaching, he issued a heroic order for the last time. He wanted to invite heroes from all over the world to visit again. In order not to leave any regrets, he also called warriors from Japan and Korea. If you don't get anything, just destroy that chance, and there will be no hero meeting in the world!"

Hearing this, everyone understood.

The heroic island owner is too old, and he is afraid that he knows he won't live long, so he wants to make a final fight, so he recruits all the people he can find. There are no more heroes.

And the so-called chance, listening to the meaning of Sunguang's words, should be some kind of powerful martial arts, which is enough to fight against Li Xian's Red Line Phantom Needle.

The martial art that can make a grand master fail to comprehend it for decades, and search for people all over the world to study it in detail, immediately makes the people on the boat envious.

Zhao Tong secretly thought about it, but he didn't expect that the heroic island owner and Li Xian were of the same era, so Mi Zhenting in the palace would know this person, but unfortunately the old man is not around at the moment, but there is no way to ask about it .

After the Sunshine Envoy finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, get off the boat. The accommodation has been arranged long ago. Today, a banquet will be prepared on the island to entertain you heroes. See you tomorrow for more details!"

Everyone heard the words and began to walk down the boat, and the Moonlight Envoy was leading the way. Hearing this, the Moonlight Envoy was smiling and said: "Heroes, Hero Island is not an isolated dead island. There are scattered markets and wine shops on it. You can enjoy it at your leisure." Go shopping, but you have to spend your own money."

The heroes all said: "It's so good, how can you go out to drink and buy things without spending money?"

The Moonlight Envoy paused and said again: "Everyone who has the Moonlight Hero Order to go to the island, there is no need to eat or drink on the island, and you have to deal with what you eat during the day."

Everyone was stunned, and the Moonlight Emissary smiled wryly, "It's not that Hero Island is stingy. In fact, you all heard it just now. The owner of the island once got a batch of treasures when he first came here. My own expenses are easy to talk about, but giving gifts to hundreds of heroes every ten years is a huge sum. In the past, they were all in charge of food and drink, but now they can't afford it. This time, the gifts of gold and silver will be removed Outside, the island is no longer capable of supplying you, so...you have to deal with your daily diet, but fortunately, there are restaurants and restaurants on the island, and they are opened every ten years. They are all managed by fishermen or slaves on the island. Shop, you can go to these places to solve the problem, the price is not expensive, not much different from land."

Although the heroes were not very happy when they heard the words, they all nodded in agreement on the surface. After all, the money they eat and drink every day is only a drop in the bucket compared to the gold and silver they gave at the end. No one wants to show their financial difficulties and be looked down upon by others.

The Moonlight Envoy led the crowd forward, Zhao Tun suddenly remembered something behind him, turned around and asked, "Have you ever brought money with you?"

Since you can eat and drink by yourself, you have to have money, and you can't go to the store to eat without money.

Du Po shook his head behind him, he didn't bring any on his body, as a general, he often wore armor to fight, and rarely carried money and other things on his body.

Wu Song also shook his head. Originally, he often carried money with him when he went out, but since he changed into a monk's robe, his mentality was different from before, and he no longer carried money.

Seeing the two people shaking their heads, Zhao Tong's expression turned ugly. As a prince, he would bring gold and silver with him unless he was alone. Usually, he would have relatives with his subordinates, and his money would be with his subordinates, and his subordinates would pay for his purchases and meals.

In the past, Huang Gu, Ouyang Bei, Su Shi, etc. carried money when they went out, and when they were away, it was Ding Daxie. This time, Bai Ao took them with him, but... Bai Ao was sent away by him!
Bai Ao and Bai Ba are two brothers, Bai Ba was sent by him to Jiangning to find Wang Bing and transfer the ship into the sea, looking for and rushing to Hero Island.

Bai Ao was sent by him to Fuzhou to look for Huang Jue. If Huang Jue killed the Huren Pu family in Guangzhou, then let him gather the pirates and come to Hero Island. Maybe there are people among the pirates who know the location of this island.

Bai Ao is not here at the moment, the money is on Bai Ao, he forgot to come at that time, now Du Po and Wu Song don't have any money, Zhao Tong looked expectantly at the third child of the Bai family.

Bai Zhan immediately understood what had happened, and his face was not looking good. He tremblingly stretched his hands into his arms, groped for a long time, and finally took out a small handful of copper coins, not even a piece of silver.

He murmured at Zhao Tun and said: "Young Master, Young Master, when I go out, the elder brother keeps the money. He won't give it to me and the second elder brother, saying that he is saving money for us to marry a wife."

You bastard, you bastard!Zhao Tun's face was ashen, and after thinking about it, he still stretched out his hand, Bai Zhan hurriedly handed over half a handful of copper coins, Zhao Tun counted them, and there were only fifty or sixty coins.

He took a deep breath, and said calmly: "You all grew up on the mountains and by the water, and tomorrow you will start hunting in the mountains and fishing in the sea, you must not starve to death!"

The three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Du Po and the three brothers of the Bai family were all good at water. Since they were young, there was a lot of water near the sea around their hometown, so diving and fishing were no problem.

Although Wu Song's water quality is average, there are many mountains around Qinghe County, and he has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and this is not a problem.

Zhao Tang's water skills are naturally excellent, but he is a majestic king of Qin, how can he be decent when he goes into the water to fish?At this moment, holding the copper coins, I secretly wonder if there are other ways to obtain food more easily.

The Moonlight Envoy led the way, and after a while, they arrived at the foot of a hill surrounded by greenery. There were many wooden houses here, which were obviously allocated for everyone to live in.

Each of them found a place to live, Zhao Tong still occupied one place to himself, and Du Po and others occupied the two sides. The wooden house could accommodate four or five people, but now everyone knows that Du Po is vicious, but no one speaks out to argue with him. .

Nothing to do next, just clean up the house and rest, waiting for the free dinner on the island.

A while later, Zhao Tun came out of the wooden house, holding a long snake in his hand, and called Wu Song, "Erlang can't beat wild animals, but he can also hit these things, as long as he doesn't want to be bitten. Good things, remember to be more careful."

Wu Song looked at the snake's triangular head and the two fangs pinched by Zhao Tun, and nodded silently.

Zhao Tuo turned the snake around and shook it violently, the snake fell to the ground limply, Zhao Tuo said: "I'm hungry now, you can roast it first."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the house, only Wu Erlang was left staring at the dead snake on the ground in a daze.

Zhao Tang lay on the wooden bed in the room and counted from left to right, always 58 copper coins, counted more than ten times, never one more, never less.

He carefully wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and put it in his arms, then turned over on the bed and fell asleep slowly.

It was probably when the sun was slightly to the west, and there was excitement outside, and he woke up slowly, it turned out that it was the Moonlight Envoy who came to invite people to the banquet.

Zhao Tong went out and called the three of Du Po, and whispered something, but the three of them all twitched, bowed their heads and just said they knew.

Then Zhao Tun held his head high, walked to the head, and followed the Moonlight Envoy to the center of the island to have a banquet.

This hero island has a pattern of three highs and one low. The center of the island is flat, and a row of large wooden halls is built. Not far away, there is a well-repaired road leading directly to the sea. A market where you can eat and drink.

Moonlight Envoy introduced things to everyone while walking, not only some things that need attention on the island, but also his own background.

There are five Sunshine Envoys and five Moonlight Envoys in Hero Island, all of whom are disciples of the island owner.

But this is only the current envoy of the sun and the moon, and the older generation of envoys will step down basically every ten years and be replaced by a new envoy. Taking care of the Heroes Conference is just a matter of polishing martial arts every day and taking care of the elderly.

These people are all disciples of the island lord, and the number of envoys is different in each session. There are men and women, and some fall in love with each other and start a family on the island. Now the Hero Island family has multiplied to 200 people.

The Sunshine Envoy and the Moonshine Envoy were not called by their names during their tenure, but were only called by their numbers. For example, the Moonlight Envoy leading the team at this moment is the Moonlight Three. Besides her, there is also the Moonlight One, Two Forty-Five.

At this time, the crowd had already arrived in front of the hall, and saw that many people had already been seated in the hall, and they looked like they were all from land.

The group of Xianju who went to sea finally arrived at Hero Island, and the other two ships had arrived a day earlier, but the banquet had to be held together.

Entering the main hall, looking for a place to sit down, after a while, I saw a dozen people coming out from the back of the hall. These dozens of people are not like the messengers of the sun and the moon covering their faces, but they are showing their faces, and they are all around fifty years old. Calm and vigorous.

When Zhao Tang saw these people, he couldn't help but look serious, they were all first-class masters, not as simple as a few.

Then I saw these people shouting loudly together: "Welcome the island owner."

Everyone on the field stood up one after another. No matter what, it would be a disrespect for the host to sit still when he arrived, and they all stood up to greet him.

Four young men, two men and two women, turned in from the back of the palace, walking in with an old man supported.

This old man was tall and tall, his beard and hair were as white as snow, his face was rosy, his eyes were bright and restrained, and he possessed a dignified presence.

The old man was wearing a silver-white robe, and the center of the robe was embroidered with a mass of burning red flames.

Zhao Tang couldn't help but change his face instantly when he saw the robe, but then hurriedly covered it up, even lowering his head slightly, so as not to let others notice his expression.

The old man was wearing a white light flame robe that only the leader of Mingjiao could wear. This old man is the leader of Mingjiao!

No, it should be the Mingjiao leader of the previous generations!
It wasn't before Fang La, Fang La's previous leader was his father-in-law Shao Fangqing, who practiced the sixth way of changing the sky and became obsessed and died.

This old man has to go further, he is the leader of the Central Plains Mingjiao in Li Xian's era!

Zhao Tang took a deep breath in his heart. He originally thought that Hero Island had colluded with Mingjiao, or had some other relationship. He didn't expect that the owner of Hero Island was the former leader of Mingjiao!
This old man was a grand master back then, and once fought against Li Xian. Since he dared to fight against Li Xian, and lived such an old age afterwards, Tian Qiong must have practiced the sixth way!

But he lost to Li Xian, was seriously injured and fled, and even fled overseas.

Could it be...

Can the master-level six-way sky transformation be no match for the master-level turning sun needle?
