Penglai delusion

Xi Mo walked on the sand for a long time.Even though he remembered Dong Yi's Natu in his heart and marked the road along the way, he was still lost at this moment.

He lived on wild fruits along the way.When the familiar fruits are gone, we can only pick something that looks weird, and when we try, we will inevitably eat poisonous ones.There is a small fruit that is extremely poisonous, and it looks almost the same as a tea currant. It is useless for him to vomit quickly. He only needs to pour a cup of tea, and his whole body is as if his internal organs have been pulled out, and he collapses on the ground and cannot get up again. coming.

For a moment, even inhaling is like a knife twisting.He was unable to struggle, so he could only stand quietly, tears streaming down in pain.The consciousness is sometimes sober and sometimes blurred, but I know that I must not end here.

After it was dark again for a while, the pain eased a little, and he tried to get up and move around.Unexpectedly, just as soon as he bowed down, his abdomen was squeezed and he was hit by an electric shock. The pain caused him to bounce up, his body folded, and his forehead hit the ground on a sharp-edged stone, but he was knocked suddenly I remembered something.

...is the legendary snake eye fruit.Xi Mo thought that the scaled claw leaf that accompanies it can detoxify the poison.

He got up again, afraid of breaking his internal organs, he could only use his skill to touch a shady ground little by little, picked up the toe-shaped leaf that he had just thrown aside, rubbed it with his hands, and put it under his tongue.

This made him a little tired, so he simply closed his eyes under the long shade and took a breath before speaking.He was already hungry in his stomach, but he exhausted all his strength, and fell asleep in a daze after lying like this.

At this moment, Xi Mo dreamed about the trivial matters in the future intermittently.

He was walking under the high wall with a straw basket that day, and the shadows of apple blossom branches passed the corner of his eyes.After returning to the medical clinic, I went to the pharmacy in the back room to find Mr. Cao.

Mr. Cao put down the medicine pestle in his hand, looked at the little boy standing with downcast eyelashes, his old clothes were washed white, but he was born with a good look, lest someone would look at him when he left the village, and give him a slap Shot away.

Xi Mo said, now that the Central Plains of the Demon Sect has cholera, and there is a severe drought in Yongzhou, many people are displaced, and there are many families who sell their children cheaply, why bother to beat me?

He thought so in his heart, but he still responded respectfully on his face.And according to Mr. Cao's intention, the medicine juice was applied to the face, resulting in a scar half the size of the face.

"The student thanked you sir. The student should have stayed to help the husband in the treatment. It's just that the family feud hasn't been reported for a day, and the student can't rest for a day. If you can get the favor of the immortal sect, the student will return to you someday." Thank you sir."

"It's good to have this kind of heart, and there is no need to talk about the matter of repaying gratitude, as long as you have no one to accompany you on this trip, you must pay attention to safety, and don't break yourself. If you have other ideas, it is good to come here to find me again of."

Don't let this go.

Xi Mo wandered around for nearly half a year, across three states, before reaching the shore of Bohai.

The boat to Penglai Island usually departs from Qingzhou.

Because every time the way of Penglai appears in the East China Sea, the trend of the tide on the sea will change.Experienced old boatmen are stationed in Bohai Bay to watch the trend. Sophisticated experts can see the way months in advance, so they will spread the news and prepare in advance.

When the boat tickets were sold out, most of the good seats had been sold among the aristocratic families, and all the seats that could be bought for lay people were the remaining bottom-class seats and casual seats.

That's it, there are still people who want to board the dragon tower treasure ship.

Because the waterway can only be opened once in what year and month.People of the immortal sect can cross the sea with the help of immortal skills, but those without immortal skills want to go to Penglai, they must follow the tide and use the keel as a boat.

Only this time, the price of the seats sold out was ridiculously high.It seems that the incident of the Demon Sect has caused panic among the people in the Central Plains, especially those who want to cultivate immortality.

Fortunately, he also inquired about many other boarding methods, so he decided to give it a try.

Xi Mo waited patiently, and when a certain boat was recruiting a cook, he quietly wiped off the concoction on his face, which attracted the landlady's attention.

He knew that this good appearance was finally useful.

The proprietress has a little daughter who is about the same age as him, whose nickname is Peier, and she liked to pester him very much at first

.Before launching the boat, the two became playmates for a while.Later, there were too many people on board, many of them were children from rich and noble families, and a few of them played together, so they inevitably had to ask each other.

Xi Mo only greeted them, and then went to work in the back kitchen.

Afterwards, when the food was served, the children of the aristocratic families looked at him strangely, and Pei'er was dragged by them to mutter and argue anxiously, but was laughed at.

Xi Mo saw the little girl crying with anger.

But he didn't say anything, and continued to deliver food.So Pei Er ignored him afterwards and concentrated on playing with those young masters and ladies.

After dreaming here, Xi Mo finally woke up.He could hear the rustle of leaves on his head, and among those who just wanted to drag him ashore, there were no peers, no boatmen and cooks.I don't know if they floated elsewhere or were buried in the belly of the fish.

He sat up, and as soon as the wind blew, the sweat-soaked sweater emitted a foul smell.He rubbed the tip of his nose, and while walking, he wanted to find a source of water to take a bath, but unexpectedly, with the half-dusk sky, the wind became stronger, and the smell in the wind gradually became mixed.

Xi Mo squinted his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw a few mast tips swaying slowly.

Penglai Port is just ahead.

This visit to Xian was unprecedentedly grand, and a temporary mirage was set up on the island.Several dragon boats are all moored at the port, waiting for people to return.It's just because the Qingxu Immortal School is very strict, in the past, out of ten boats, nine boats could return with a full load.

Xi Mo knew the rules of accepting disciples of the immortal sect.One month after the opening of Penglai Dao, disciples of Qingxu will come to guide people, and anyone who has the intention of cultivating immortals can accompany them.

Then there are three assessments.

The content of this assessment was spread so miraculously that it once persuaded many people who were in the crowd to leave.

Now that Xi Mo was getting closer, he saw that the sea city was crowded with people, but he didn't know where the Xianpai guide was, so he could only blend in with the crowd and listen to the news first.

The one that was passed on the most was the ordeal he personally experienced a few days ago.Probably because the Penglai Sea Road has always been blessed by immortals, and if you drive along this road, nothing will happen.Kuang said that the trouble on the Tingyun was very strange, it actually encountered a boat-swallowing fish that had disappeared for a hundred years.

It is said that this fish was once a subordinate of the sea dragon. With the destruction of the dragon clan in the battle of the East China Sea, the boat-swallowing fish disappeared. It was once considered that the whole clan died.

Unexpectedly, today it was alive and told it to swallow the dragon-headed boat.According to the legend, the boat-swallowing fish is extremely respectful and obedient to the dragon people. It is really strange and strange that the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple.

Xi Mo knew that there were still survivors on the Tingyun, but he thought it was strange that this giant fish swallowed a boat.It was as if they were going to eat the ship, but they didn't care about the people who fell into the sea.Otherwise, at the time when he was knocked unconscious by the waves, as long as it opened its mouth underwater, he would have to bury himself in the bottom of the sea unconsciously.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out a fruit and bite it open, trying to suppress the shock.As soon as he bit down, he reached the bottom of the sac and found that this was the last bite.

Xi Mo pulled out the green fruit from between his teeth, looked at the tooth marks on it, sucked up the oozing juice, and put it back in the bag.

The things in the sea market are also very expensive, and the trend of driving up is comparable to that of the boat ticket.Most of his bag of silver beans is barely enough to exchange for a ration, so it's better not to act rashly before the immortal sect arrives.

Xi Mo had a few conversations with others, and confirmed that disciple Qingxu had not arrived, so he left Haishi and found a clean place in the woods to settle down.

He sat cross-legged under the tree, thinking carefully about sharpening a fishing rod to hang sea fish, but he didn't know what to use instead of bait.I don't know if the fish in the sea will eat the herbivores on land.

Thinking of this, he heard footsteps coming towards him slowly, and when he raised his eyes, it was the youngest daughter of the proprietress.

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sweetly at the little girl, "Pei'er."

With a puckered face, Qiao Pei stuffed a bunch of browned grilled fish and a rice ball into his arms, then squatted aside, trembling as if he was about to cry, "Brother Xi Mo, I thought you ..."

"You are all well, I am naturally fine." Xi Mo said, "There is no need to worry."

Qiao Pei shook his head

, It took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Many people died."

Xi Mo weighed the food in his hand and estimated the price, "The people in the Immortal School should investigate this matter thoroughly, and their deaths will be in vain if we don't teach them."

Qiao Pei was stunned for a moment, "Xianpai... Grandma suddenly came up with an idea these days, and she must go to Qingxu to seek Taoism, but I, I don't..."

"I'll go too." Xi Mo finally settled down, biting the crispy fish skin without hesitation, "I'll take you with me."

"I don't want to go!" Qiao Pei said, "I don't want to go anywhere, I want to go home..." Then he really wanted to cry.

Xi Mo thought for a moment that he still had a fruit that could coax people, but he said that he had already gnawed a mouthful, and it was difficult to take it, so he could only comfort him, "I will help you too."

Qiao Pei's almond eyes were half flooded with tears, so he said with tears in his eyes, "Really? Grandma is extremely difficult to talk... She knows that the test is terrible and she might die, but she forced me to go..."

Xi Mo was stunned for a moment, and didn't make a sound, just buried his head in chewing on the fish meat, while Ren Qiaopei babbled for a long time on his own.

"Pei'er." He said suddenly, "Is this your dinner?"

Qiao Pei nodded, only to realize that he had only torn half of the fish, and the other half was still neatly attached to the bone.

Xi Mo wiped his mouth, and handed back the fish and rice balls, "I'm easy to buy, half a fish, keep it to fulfill your wish."

Qiao Pei talked to him again, while slowly eating up the food in his hand.When he fell into the sea, he agreed with him to meet again tomorrow, and the rations were divided in half.

Xi Mo sent her to Haishikou, saw her boarding one of the dragon boats, and thought whether the proprietress had planned it for a long time or made it on a whim, Qiao Pei had to go this time.

He had no intention of caring about other people's family, but Qiao Pei gave the life-saving meal, and he stood by her side.
