Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 32 Peach Blossom Island

In the East China Sea, the blue waves are surging, the waves are rolling, and the boundless sea and sky are the same color.A sea-going ship sails through the waves in the East China Sea, aiming at the place where the fishermen on the seaside are talking about - Peach Blossom Island!

At the bow of the boat, a young man with a handsome figure and a handsome face stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the boundless blue sea in the distance, and the Taoist robe on his body fluttered under the sea breeze.

"Master Dao, Peach Blossom Island is coming soon!" At this time, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the boss of the boat came over and reminded him respectfully.

"Oh? Where is it?" Shen Chengping withdrew his gaze, looking around, he still saw the boundless blue sea, where there were no islands, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Look, Daoist, it's at the cloud place in the northwest direction!" The boat boss said with his finger far away.

"I saw it. I thought it was a seabird in the distance, so it turned out to be Peach Blossom Island!" Looking in the direction of the boat boss's finger, Shen Chengping saw a small black spot appearing at the junction of the sea and the sky. Chopping through the waves and moving forward vigorously, the small black dot became bigger and bigger, revealing its true appearance, it was clearly a small island.

Peach Blossom Island is not far from the mainland. According to the distance, it is estimated to be a part of the Zhoushan Islands. Thinking about it, this is the reason. Huang Yaoshi is very familiar with martial arts. If Peach Blossom Island is too far away from the mainland, the traffic will be a problem.

Shen Chengping came to Peach Blossom Island saying that he came to look for Zhou Botong, but in fact, he was mostly looking for Huang Yaoshi to learn about martial arts, and if possible, he also wanted to learn from him the strange gossip formation. He didn't point out that Zhou Botong was on Peach Blossom Island. , because in his opinion, Zhou Botong has stayed on this Peach Blossom Island for so many years. The reason why his cultivation base in Condor Shooting is almost the same as that of the other Four Absolutes is not because of fighting with each other, but because of I was imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island for 15 years, and had to put more thought on martial arts.

Otherwise, according to his temperament, he is interested in everything all day long and wants to play with everything. How can he practice martial arts well when he is distracted? Now Zhou Botong has stayed in Peach Blossom Island for six or seven years. Enough is enough for Shen Chengping to think of rescuing him from Peach Blossom Island.

"What's the matter, why did the ship stop?" When the ship got closer and closer to Peach Blossom Island, and he could clearly see the entire peach forest on the island, the ship slowly lowered its sails, and the ship sailed The speed dropped even more, until it stopped completely on the sea about five miles away from Peach Blossom Island.

"Master Dao, it's not that I don't want to go forward, but that the owner of Peach Blossom Island has rules!" The boss of the boat didn't leave. Hearing Shen Chengping's question, he hurriedly explained in a respectful voice: "Once any foreign ship enters the surrounding area of ​​Peach Blossom Island, it will To be punished by the master of Peach Blossom Island!"

Shen Chengping nodded after hearing this, and looked at the frightened and trembling face of the boss of the boat.Apparently Huang Yaoshi used some special deterrent means, no wonder those seagoing ships heard that they were coming to Peach Blossom Island, many boatmen were unwilling to take people on board, Shen Chengping contacted Quanzhen Sect specifically to transfer the ships under Quanzhen Sect to dare Going to sea, even so, the crew on board are all trembling from top to bottom.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you put down the boat, and I'll go there alone later!" Shen Chengping didn't bother the boat boss in front of him, and directly ordered so.

"Daoist, do you really want to go to the island?" The boss of the boat had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.He was about to call the sailor next to him and gave some instructions, then turned to look at Shen Chengping, hesitant to speak.

"You may wish to speak directly if you have something to say!" Shen Chengping said with a light smile, "You also work for my Quanzhen Sect, so what's wrong with you!"

That's right, the ship's oldest ship is actually owned by the Quanzhen Sect's industry. The Southern Song Dynasty's maritime trade was extremely developed. Both Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces had formed large-scale foreign trade ports. The Southern Song Dynasty's economy had at least one Most of them come from the prosperous sea trade.

Shen Chengping thought that the Quanzhen Sect would be destroyed by the Mongolian army in the Divine Sculpture in the future, and he could only spread out to maintain the orthodoxy, so he wanted to plan ahead. After the Quanzhen Sect gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong, the focus was to set up Taoist temples along the coast. At the same time, some big families in the local area have been conquered, and they have joined together to form a fleet to develop maritime trade. Now they can only be regarded as small foundations, and they are still far behind those big families who have mastered the big heads. After all, they all occupy the coast. A private dock with several fleets of behemoths.

Thinking of the invincible iron cavalry that will rise on the grassland in less than ten years, Shen Chengping wonders whether his future plans will prevent the rise of Mongolia, but it is necessary to plan ahead, and the Three Caves of the Rabbit must be done. Under the suggestion of the general, after expanding the territory to the entire Guanzhong, instead of focusing on the expansion of the northern martial arts as in the original plot, it began to turn to the Southern Song Dynasty for development, and at the same time actively expanded the maritime trade business. Now it is finally There are some small achievements, and there are discoveries in the overseas exploration last month. They plan to expand the fleet in the future, and occupy a large island in the southeast sea, as a temporary rest and supplement for the Quanzhen Sect fleet.

The boss of this boat is a native of Zhejiang Province. He has been working for the Quanzhen Sect recently. He also knows that many of the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect are high-level martial arts practitioners. He also saw that General Shen Chengping can jump several feet high at once. , otherwise he would not dare to come here to take risks.

"Daoist, there are rumors that there are ghosts haunting this place. The peach trees on the island have become spirits. Someone once went to the island and walked around for several days, but they were still spinning around in the same place. This is a ghost hitting the wall! Daoist, this place is unlucky! "

Hearing what the boat boss said, Shen Chengping couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that Peach Blossom Island was rumored to be like this, it has already been demonized, no wonder no one dared to approach it.

"Okay, you don't have to worry. This island is just home to a master of martial arts. He has a weird temper and doesn't like to be disturbed. I have something to visit today, and nothing will happen!"

"But..." The boss of the boat hesitated, and wanted to continue persuading.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'll go down when the boat goes into the sea!" Shen Chengping waved his big hands, and took a few steps to the side of the big boat, and saw that the boat had been lowered into the sea by several boatmen, and was rippling with the sea. He didn't need any rope tools to jump lightly, and easily jumped out of the sea boat and landed on the small sampan.

"Wait for my reply!" He left a sentence, ignoring the exclamation and applause on the sea boat, let alone seeing him paddling the boat, the small boat sailed towards Peach Blossom Island like an arrow leaving the string.

"Island Master Huang, an old friend from Mount Hua is here, and I hope to see you!" Driven by Shen Chengping's Hunyuan internal force, the distance of five miles was less than half a cup of tea, and the boat rushed directly to the beach of Peach Blossom Island for about ten meters. Shen Chengping lightly jumped to the shore, and then a peaceful and light voice slowly spread into the island.
