Urban Sims

Wen Guo three years, one day in August.

A sail-powered expedition ship sailed into the capital port. As soon as it landed on the shore, the dozen or so crew on the ship did not even fasten the anchors of the fixed ship, so they quickly disembarked and trot all the way to the White House. Come.

The White House is where the members of the royal family live. In the White House, in addition to the royal living area is closed, other buildings such as the Parliament Building, the Parliament Building, the Grand Court, and the Museum of History and History are open to the public. You can apply to enter the tour, visit the people, there is a good chance to see the friendly and kindly His Majesty the Emperor Wen, and talk to him ...

After the crew entered the White House, they made a confession to the housekeeper, saying that there was an urgent matter to see His Majesty the Emperor Wen! After the housekeeper confirmed that the urgency of the incident was indeed high, he immediately dispatched someone to inform His Majesty the Emperor Wen, who was taking his family to enjoy the flowers in the back garden.

After a while, Zhou Ming, with an unhappy expression on his face, came to the meeting room and met the crew.

Since the founding of Wen Guo and the election of the first prime minister, in addition to military affairs, the civil affairs and internal affairs of the country are mostly handled by the prime minister. Zhou Ming only needs to scan the briefing and sign and pass it. He is also relaxed and happy. Spend a lot of time and live your life.

Even so, when the above-mentioned queen, Zhou Ming enjoyed very little time to enjoy leisure, there were various affairs to ask him to report every day, others did not dare to claim it, even if some rights, Zhou Ming decentralized very thoroughly, officials I'm also afraid of messing things up, I'm afraid I can't bear the pot.

In addition, after the death of his father Tian Feng, the Tian family ’s various industries must be managed by Zhou Ming, the patriarch. Zhou Ming absolutely trusts few people, except for his brother Tian Jing, who is the only one of his 42 sons. His son Tian Sheng was only 24 years old to be outstanding, but all his sons, including Tian Sheng, had to be trained for a few more years before he was relieved to arrange them to a higher position.

Therefore, Zhou Ming often laughs at himself: "No matter how hard I am in life, I want to lie down comfortably and reap the achievements. I always dream."

But today, in the living room, after listening to the reports of these crew members, Zhou Ming's less serious expression disappeared and was replaced by unprecedented surprise and unbelief.

"What do you say, but the sentence is true? How could there be such a thing?" Zhou Ming repeatedly asked.

"Your Majesty King, as I said, there is absolutely no lie! Your Majesty, you can go with me and witness it with your own eyes!" Expedition leader Tian Yue, a man in his thirties with a rough face, swore to the sky.

"Okay! You boarded Megatron with me and set off with five thousand elite musketeers. If you dare to deceive me, the consequences, hum!"

"If there is deception, please take off my head!"

Tian Yue and others were overjoyed that Megatron was the newest flagship flagship of the Empire Navy in recent years. It was also the empire ’s first giant ship with a displacement of over 10,000 tons. This battleship, which combines the essence of countless technologies, except the three-masted sail, It is also equipped with 18 high-power steam engines, and 128 giant guns are installed on the ship, each of which can shoot more than 20 pounds of guns ... Only this giant ship can destroy a city.

There are also five thousand elite musketeers, which makes Tian Yue and others overjoyed, because there are more than 30,000 people living on that island. There is no need for five thousand musketeers, and only one thousand can call them genocide!

After preparing for two days, on the third day, a fleet of eight warships departed from the port and sailed towards the northwest. The fleet sailed at full speed for eight days until it moved out of the outer area of ​​Penglai Fairyland and entered After a field of view that was limited in view and surrounded by a faint sea fog all year round, Tian Yue and other talents shouted excitedly: "It is in this sea fog that the island is inside, and it is not wrong!"

However, in this area of ​​sea fog that was only three or four hundred miles away, the fleet had been searching for several days, but did not find the island. They searched separately and found nothing.

In addition, there may be a lot of iron ore in this submarine vein, the geomagnetic field is chaotic, and the compass pointer is not very easy to use. In the mist, the sun overhead is looming, and the direction of the fleet is often uncertain.

Therefore, for the eight warships, Zhou Ming did not allow them to be too far apart. At most, more than two dozen miles, they regularly communicated with the sound of cannons, so no ship was lost.

On the eighth day, the fleet swept back and forth several times in the sea fog area, but did not find the island. Everyone was discouraged. Rear Admiral Tian Gui asked the emperor to kill the tyrants of Tian Yue. At that time, on the [World Map] in Zhou Ming ’s mind, a blue dot suddenly appeared in a blue area.

"That island is there."

Zhou Ming pointed in one direction, and asked the captain to stand aside, and operated the rudder himself. After adjusting the course, less than half an hour later, in the sea fog that had become slightly thicker in front, a silhouette appeared looming, like a mirage. islands.

"That's that, that's that!"

Tian Yue and others shouted excitedly and cheered the island: "Immortal Island, we have found you!"

Half an hour later, the fleet that completed the deceleration approached the island with an area of ​​about a hundred square kilometers, found a flat beach, and eight warships stopped in turn.

However, just after the landing board was lowered, dozens of crew members stood on the beach. The island seemed to be fried, and numerous "buzzing" conch sounded. After a while, there was a lot of noise Men, women and children, all wearing fish-skin coats, holding sticks and agricultural tools, rushed towards the beach.

At a glance, the crowds on these islands saw the eight giant strange ships docked by the beach as if they had seen the end of the world, all with fright and frustration.

For the timid, the stick in his hand fell to the ground, and then knelt on the ground, knocking his head like pounding garlic, reading the sutra in his mouth, as if he was scared.

But there were also hundreds of bold, under the command of a middle-aged man, rushed towards these giant ships, ran to the dozens of outsiders who had stood on the beach to kill them, trying to drive them to the sea.

"Bang bang bang!"

After a violent riot, these brave people on the island fell into the pool of blood, screaming at the brink of death.

"boom!"

The middle-aged man's head suddenly burst into a blood flower, but Zhou Ming, holding a primitive sniper rifle in his hand, shot him at a distance of about a kilometer.

Seeing the island residents who were killed and injured hundreds of people, they all retreated in panic. No one dared to step forward. They could only watch, and from the eight giant ships, more and more outsiders came down, and finally the whole beach was covered. And, each outsider holds an artifact that can spew out the thunder, and after installing the shiny bayonet, they line up in a neat formation and force them to come.

"Boom Boom Boom ~"

In the sound of the snare drums, the Musketeers stepped neatly and advanced like a wall for 100 meters. The residents of the island kept retreating. More than a dozen people who were not afraid of death were bombarded by muskets into sieves.

"It's fun to have friends come from afar? Friends from all over the sea, don't be so irritable. How do you talk about it?"

The desperate face of the island residents finally stood out an old man with a brave face, and the old man said hello.

This old man is described as "crane hair face" because this old man with white hair, long eyebrows and chest has the skin like a young man in his 20s or 30s, with shiny and tender skin, tight skin, a trace There are no wrinkles, and he has a sturdy pace and sounds like a Hong Zhong, like an old fairy in a TV series. He also speaks a quotation that most people present can understand, which makes people feel very cordial.

It ’s not just the old man, the other residents on the island, the young people may not look very obvious, but all the older people, their hair is white, the skin is well maintained, the average face value is very high, the body looks They are also very tough ... These phenomena, in Zhou Ming's eyes, are no longer explained by the phrase "use more cosmetics to achieve this effect", because there is no cosmetics on this island!

These old men with crane hair are all pure natural face!

"It turns out that immortality is not a myth and legend. On this island, there really is a" elixir of immortality "."

Zhou Ming murmured, a hint of evil smile appeared in the corner of his mouth, and looked at the eyes of the residents on these islands, like a hungry wolf, with a red and naked greed!

Not only Zhou Ming, but Rear Admiral Tian Gui, 5,000 elite musketeers, Tian Yue and others, and so on. Some even couldn't restrain their inner excitement, and gave out a gruesome grinning.

"Wow ~ wow ~"

Bathing these compelling fierce eyes, a few children among the residents on the island were crying in fright.

The old man panicked, and walked forward two steps: "Friends, heroes! If you have something to say, everything can be discussed, everything can be said clearly, wait for someone who can speak importantly? Sit, how about making a friend? "

Zhou Ming walked over and was ready to negotiate with the old man. Tian Yue reminded him in his ear. He nodded and walked in front of the old man, asking directly: "If I am right, you should be the descendant of Xu Fu. , Xutong? "

Hearing this question, the expression on the old man's face was even more flustered, and after thinking about it, he still said: "It is precisely that the old man is Xu Fu's seventeenth generation grandson, Xu Tong is also ..."

"It seems that the legend of the first emperor of the Shang Dynasty sent Xu Fu to take three thousand boys and girls to go overseas to find the elixir of eternal life. Should it be true? But I didn't expect that it really let you find it ..."

Zhou Ming murmured and asked the old man: "Xu Tong, let me ask you, how old are you this year?"

"This ... the old memory is declining, and I don't remember how old I have lived." Xu Tong said with a sloppy eye.

"Give you the last chance to tell an exact number, otherwise I will shoot you in a single shot!" A revolver was aimed at his head, as if he would fire the next second.

"There are eight hundred and forty years old ..." Xu Tong felt cold and had to tell the truth.

Zhou Ming also called the Musketeers from the crowd and arrested several middle-aged men. After one shot, the others said: "The patriarch and senior just passed the 150th birthday last year, but he was one year old, and The big birthday is in advance, and the patriarch is indeed one hundred and forty-eight. "

One hundred and forty-eight, it's no wonder that alive as a sperm, the expedition fleet almost got a tumble in your hands ...

Zhou Ming asked another question: "Xu Tong, you can still live for a few years. How old are the longest-lived people on this island?"

In Xu Tong's tone, he began to mourn, and he replied: "Old decay is the longest life on this island, and I don't know how long it can live. I only remember the old deceased grandfather, who died at the age of 167. Counting on this, old age may still live for five to ten years ... "

Hearing this, a crowd of commotions came from Zhou Ming's crowd.

"God! 167 years old ..."

"I'll be 80 if I can live eighty, sixteen ..."

"Elixir, there must be elixir on this island!"

"Quickly hand over the old medicine!"

Someone could not wait to yell.

Zhou Ming squeezed his hands backwards to stop the noise, then opened the door and said to Xu Tong:

"Xu Tong, those of us, came today for three explanations."

"First, the first emperor ordered you to look for the elixir of eternal life overseas. It did n’t matter if you did n’t find it. You could n’t blame you when the storm hit the reef. The question is: why have n’t you brought back the Central Plains and dedicated it to the emperor? Taking immortal medicine yourself, immortality? Should you give the first emperor an explanation? One of them. "

"Second, you people are living in secluded life on this island. Everyone is over one hundred years old. Everyone lives in bed and the children and grandchildren are full of children. They completely ignore the sufferings of the outside world. On this isolated island, After enjoying the blessings that should not belong to you, the so-called heaven and earth reincarnation, the causal cycle, should you give heaven an explanation? The second. "

"Third, my expedition fleet found the island. After landing, you were pretended to be entertained and prepared with enthusiasm, but were attacked late at night. Fifty-eight crew members were killed by you. Forty-four people were only guarded. The twelve of them are only for their own sake. Should these forty-four lives be explained to you? The third. "

"These three explanations, if you can't explain them today, I will order: to kill this island, not to leave the grass!"

It turned out that more than a month ago, Tian Yue and other expedition members accidentally found the island, and suddenly heard familiar words on the island. When they saw the ancients who had fled to this place more than two thousand years ago, they were very excited, so they let go. A little wary, some of the team members stayed on the island as guests. Although Xu Tong tried to conceal it during the guest days, they were still discovered by the expedition members and found some unusual phenomena on the island, such as those with silver hair The old man of Sun Tzu said that he was only in his thirties, and anyone would have doubts.

Until that day, the team leader Tian Yue happened to be at the beach and saw an old lady who was catching fish and asked how old she was. A figure of "123" almost stunned him, and Hou Yue found it again. Several other elderly people asked their ages, some of them told the truth, some of them told falsehoods, but he can be sure that the elderly on this island have very long lifespans and look young.

That is to say, that night, the expedition was attacked by siege, and this afternoon, if Tian Yue saw that several people were hitting the bottom of the expedition ship with stones, they wanted to sink their ship, so they led people Get on board and take precautions, otherwise, no one can escape ...

"Account? What can I explain? Are you waiting for the greed, is it not the old medicine on this island? Kill it if you want to kill, I will die when I wait, and I will not give out the old medicine!"

Seeing Zhou Mingtu's poor dagger, Xu Tong's bones became harder, even with red eyes, glaring at Zhou Ming.

"Oh, it's stiff! General Tian, ​​first grab all the men, women, and children on the island! Five kills one! Look at this old thing is not stiff!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Bang bang bang!"

On this small island, gunshots kept ringing.

...

Three days later.

After killing about one-third of the population on the island, Zhou Ming finally got his wish, and got more than 50,000 soybeans, greenish in color, crystal clear, and I do n’t know what method was used to refine the "Bao Dan" and put it on the nose. Smell the last time, with a scent.

The reason why these Bold Pills have the magical effect of prolonging life and maintaining the face of the child is also related to the growth of a grass plant called "Eternal Grass" in the northern part of the island. These grass plants contain a kind of Cellular activity, a substance that prolongs the life of a cell. After entering the human body, this substance has a miraculous effect, which is shocking and has great medical value.

However, even if you know that "Eternal Life Grass" has great medical value, you ca n’t get long life by eating this grass directly. You have to go through a series of process refinements. In the alchemy furnace, it will fuse with other substances and cause chemistry. After the reaction, it is possible to refine the "Bulao Dan" with the effect of making people live longer.

It ’s just that the recipe for the Blessed Pill, some crafts during the alchemy process, Xu Tong on the island and others claimed that Zhou Ming would not hand it over even if he killed the people on the island, because that recipe and alchemy craft, They are the fundamental guarantee of their lives, and the fools understand that if these things are also disclosed, the people on Changsheng Island, after losing the value of their use, will probably rely on the words of others.

Zhou Ming finally softened his position, UU reading www.uukanshu. com and the island owner Xu Tong reached an "agreement", the agreement stipulates: overseas cultural countries to provide security protection for Changsheng Island, as well as some material assistance, and Changsheng Island, annual tribute 50,000 "Bao Dan", no more requests for increase .

After all, 50,000 elixirs are already 70% of the elixirs output on Changsheng Island, enough for 5,000 people to maintain immortality.

At the end of the matter, some Virgin Mary may raise objections, saying that Zhou Ming killed so many innocent people by any means in order to achieve his goal.

Zhou Ming sneered:

"I am shameless? If the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty knew that there was a kind of blessed pill on Changsheng Island, he could live 50 years longer. I am afraid that the next day, he would do his utmost to build a ship and send a million troops to cross the sea Look for it? How much financial and material resources will be spent in the middle? How many people will die? The so-called bibimbap, as long as the island of longevity, there is a blessing pill, once spread, it is known to others, this island, forever and forever, all There is no way to avoid the catastrophe! "

Because longevity is immortal, it is the desire of all people that can't quench the desperate desire.
