Chapter 165: Going to the Island of Heroes
After Bei Haishi agreed to Shi Potian to become the leader of Changle Gang, all the members of Changle Gang left together.
Only Shi Potian was left alone in the Yunlong Gang.
Anyway, for Bei Haishi, as long as someone is willing to become the leader of Changle Gang, take over the order to reward good and punish evil on behalf of Changle Gang, and go to the banquet on Xiake Island, he and Changle Gang will be safe.
The reason why Chu Yuan asked Bei Haishi to acknowledge Shi Potian's identity as the leader of Changle Gang was to make plans for their return from Xiake Island.
Shi Potian stayed temporarily in the Yunlong Gang, and it was mid-winter.
Seeing that the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was not far away, with only less than a month left, the person who came to the Yunlong Gang to inform everyone how to get to the Xiake Island finally arrived.
Juyi Hall.
Yunlong explores the sea in front of the map.
"Big brother!"
Shi Potian looked at the fat man Zhang San and the thin man Li Si, the two envoys who rewarded the good and punished the evil, who were invited in from outside by the Yunlong Gang.
"Third brother, I heard that Bei Haishi not only publicly acknowledged your identity as the leader of the Changle Gang, but now you have become the fourth leader of the Yunlong Gang."
The rewarder Zhang San, with his hands behind his back, looked at Shi Potian, Chu Yuan and the other two sitting on the main seat and said with a smile.
"My two brothers, this is all because Big Brother Chu is helping me. I am a simple-minded person, and I can't think of things as thoroughly as Big Brother Chu."
Shi Potian said a little embarrassedly.
"Boss Chu, I haven't seen you for a while. Now the Yunlong Gang has replaced the Changle Gang as the world's largest gang, and Boss Chu is also recognized as the world's best master."
Hearing this, the rewarder Zhang San looked at Chu Yuan and said.
"You two are joking. The so-called number one in the world is just a joke in the martial arts world. Don't take it seriously. Apart from anything else, the two island masters of the Knight Island have reached the highest level of martial arts. If you don't defeat the two island masters, how dare you claim to be the number one in the world?"
Chu Yuan smiled.
Zhang San, the envoy who rewards good deeds, and Li Si, the envoy who punishes evil deeds, looked a little unnatural when they heard this.
The two island masters are their masters. Chu Yuan openly said that he wanted to defeat the two island masters, which really shows that he does not take their Xiake Island seriously.
However, considering Chu Yuan's martial arts skills, he is indeed qualified to say such things.
"I wonder what the purpose of your visit is?"
Chu Yuan asked about the two envoys' principles of rewarding the good and punishing the evil.
"I heard that our little brother has become the fourth leader of the Yunlong Gang. Besides coming to see him, since Laba is approaching, I also want to inform the four leaders of the Yunlong Gang that they need to rush to a fishing village southwest of the South China Sea as soon as possible before the twelfth lunar month. We on Xiake Island will send people from that fishing village to take you to Xiake Island."
Zhang Sandao is the envoy who rewards good deeds.
Chu Yuan asked: "In the martial arts world, will all the leaders of the sects who have received the order to reward good and punish evil gather in this fishing village?"
He was curious about how the Island of Heroes brought so many leaders and gang masters of the Central Plains martial arts to the Island of Heroes.
Li Si, the envoy who was in charge of punishing evil, rarely spoke a word, but he was very frugal with his words and said, "No."
The rewarding envoy smiled and said, "Boss Chu, you don't know that each boss and sect leader who receives the rewarding good and punishing evil order needs to go to a different place, and the Knight Island will also send a special envoy to row a boat to guide them to the Knight Island. Usually, one envoy will guide the sect leader or boss of a sect, but the situation of the Yunlong Gang is special. All four gang leaders have received the rewarding good and punishing evil order, so only one envoy was sent to guide them."
Ding Dian, the leader of the Yunlong Gang, bowed and said, "Rest assured, the two envoys. The four leaders of our Yunlong Gang will definitely go to the Xiake Island on time for the banquet."
Zhang San, the envoy who rewards kindness, smiled and said, "That's good."
Li Si, the Punisher of Evil, glanced at Shi Potian and said, "Third brother, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first. See you on the Knight Island."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang San, the envoy who rewards good deeds, and Li Si, the envoy who punishes evil deeds, disappeared from the spot.
In just a moment, they appeared outside the house more than ten feet away. Their fast movement produced many afterimages, and soon their figures disappeared.
"Brother Ding, Di Yun, Brother Gou, since there is less than a month left before the Laba Festival appointment to go to Xiake Island, let's get ready and set off."
Chu Yuan versus Ding Dian, Di Yun, and Shi Potiandao.
Although the four of them did not become sworn brothers, Ding Dian, Di Yun and Shi Potian were all kind-hearted people. After meeting each other these days, they felt that they had met too late.
In addition, with Chu Yuan as the middleman, they all call each other brothers.
"It's possible, but..."
Shi Potian looked somewhat reluctant.
"how?"
Chu Yuan asked Shi Potian.
"When I came down the mountain, Master and Ah Xiu said they would come to Yunlong Gang to look for me, but unfortunately they haven't come yet."
Shi Potian looked a little lost.
"So you're thinking about your wife."
Chu Yuan suddenly realized.
"My dear four gang leaders, there is an old lady and a little girl outside the door who want to see you."
Just then, a gang member came in from outside to report.
"It's Master and Ah Xiu!"
Shi Potian looked delighted, and immediately stood up and walked outside.
"Where are you two?"
Seeing Shi Potian going out to see him and his young wife who had not yet married, Chu Yuan turned his gaze to Ding Dian and Di Yun.
Ding Dian looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Brother Chu, I have already told Shuang Hua about this and said goodbye in advance. She supports me to go. She said she believes in you. It was impossible for the two of us to be together in this life. It was your appearance that allowed us to live like this now. We never dared to think about the life of a fairy couple before. Since Brother Chu said that there is no danger in this trip, my husband and I completely believe in you!"
Chu Yuan felt a little surprised after hearing this. It seems that as time goes by.
Miss Ling Shuanghua Ling is slowly letting go of the grudge she had over the fact that he killed her father.
Chu Yuan looked at Di Yun again: "You?"
Di Yun was still as indecisive as before. He looked gloomy and said, "I don't know."
Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ding and I have an idea for you. It's not a good idea for you to keep hesitating like this!"
Di Yun asked in confusion: "What's the idea?"
Chu Yuan waved his hand and asked Di Yun to come closer to his ear...
After finishing speaking, Chu Yuan looked at Ding Dian: "Brother Ding, what do you think of my method?"
Ding Dian nodded and said, "It's feasible."
Chu Yuan looked at Di Yun and said, "It all depends on who will show up in the end. If Miss Shui Sheng shows up, it proves that you and Miss Shui Sheng are destined to be together. If your junior sister Qi Fang shows up, it proves that your junior sister likes you more. Don't worry about her daughter being the child of your enemy. After all, she named her daughter after the name she used to call you, which proves that she still has you in her heart. Since you like her, just marry her."
Chu Yuan’s so-called method is very simple!
Just don't say goodbye to them before leaving. Just leave a letter for them.
Suppose that this journey is dangerous, and if he does not return within a month, it means that he is in great danger.
In the letter, he left the address of a fishing village on the coast of the South China Sea. If the two women had feelings for him, they would go there when the time came.
If she didn't even go after learning of his "death", it would be clear how she felt about Di Yun.
Di Yun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chu, do you think it is possible that Junior Sister Qi Fang and Miss Shui will go there at that time?"
Chu Yuan and Ding Dian looked at each other and shook their heads.
Shui Sheng and the others don’t know!
They were very sure that Di Yun's junior sister Qi Fang had very little feelings for him, otherwise she would not have been successfully provoked by Wan Gui, the son of Di Yun's enemy, in just a few words, and would not have married him and given birth to his child.
Chu Yuan said: "It is also possible that no one will come!"
Seeing Di Yun's startled expression, Chu Yuan said with a smile: "I'm just kidding. If your junior sister and Miss Shui are here, you can just marry them both."
This is of course a joke, Di Yun is a honest and straightforward person.
After going through a series of hardships and becoming the leader of the Yunlong Gang, although he has grown a little, it is difficult for him to change his honest and straightforward nature.
He would be lucky enough to marry one of his junior sisters Qi Fang and Miss Shui.
……
The next day.
After making all preparations, Chu Yuan and his party left the Yunlong Gang and headed for a fishing village on the coast of the South China Sea.
Traveling with Chu Yuan and the others were Shi Potian's master Shi Xiaocui and his future daughter-in-law Axiu.
"Silly boy, is that the Big Brother Chu you always mentioned before?"
The group was all riding horses. Shi Potian, his future wife Ah Xiu, and his master Shi Xiaocui were walking at the end, looking at Chu Yuan, Di Yun, and Ding Dian, who were walking in front.
"Yes, Master!"
Shi Potian nodded.
"Is his martial arts skill very high?"
Bai Axiu looked at Chu Yuandao, who was only a few years younger than Shi Potian.
"Very high, very high. My martial arts skills are not as good as his. The Yi Jin Jing that I practiced before was also passed down to me by Brother Chu when we were on the Motian Cliff."
Shi Potian nodded.
"Your elder brother Chu is now known as the best martial artist in the world. Many people in the martial arts world believe that his martial arts skills are better than your grandfather's. I don't know where you got the blessing from, to recognize such a powerful young master as your elder brother, and even became the fourth leader of the Yunlong Gang without knowing it."
Shi Xiaocui sighed.
Ever since Chu Yuan defeated Bei Haishi and the eight incense masters of the Changle Gang a few months ago, the Yunlong Gang has become famous in the martial arts world and is the largest gang in the world.
Even in terms of power, the Snow Mountain Sect is probably inferior to the Yunlong Gang.
Not to mention Xie Yanke, a top master who endorsed Chu Yuan's martial arts and said he was defeated by him. "Big Zongzi, when you lived on the Sky Cliff before, Xie Yanke fought with your big brother Chu. He really lost to your big brother Chu. Was he no match for your big brother Chu?"
Shi Xiaocui asked again.
Shi Potian said: "Brother Chu's martial arts skills have always been very high. Since the two of them started competing against each other a few years ago, Mr. Xie has never been able to gain an advantage and has always been at a disadvantage."
Shi Xiaocui couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this: "If your Brother Chu was better than Xie Yanke in martial arts a few years ago, wouldn't that mean he was better than Ah Xiu's grandfather at that time? Now, a few years have passed, and even you are no longer the same as before. It's hard to imagine how high your Brother Chu's martial arts skills are."
Ah Xiu reminded Shi Potian: "Big Zongzi brother, after you go to the island this time, you must always stay by Brother Chu's side. If there is any danger, his martial arts skills are enough to protect the three of you."
Shi Potian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ah Xiu, Master, I will be careful."
……
The so-called South China Sea coast.
According to Chu Yuan's estimation, it is in the Guangdong area in later generations.
This place was called Guangzhou Prefecture at that time.
It took Chu Yuan and his team five days to find this small fishing village in the southwest.
The small fishing village is not large, located on the seaside, with about a hundred households.
When Chu Yuan and his companions led the horses into the small fishing village, the fishermen in the village seemed to be used to it. They all looked at Chu Yuan and his companions as usual, and each of them was busy with the things in their hands. The adults were drying their fishing nets, and the children were playing.
Then, an elegant middle-aged man in a yellow shirt, who was in sharp contrast to the dark-skinned local fishermen, walked up to Chu Yuan and others.
"May I ask if you are the four leaders of the Yunlong Gang, Ding Dian, Chu Yuan, Di Yun, and Shi Potian?"
The man in yellow shirt bowed.
"Yes, we are."
Chu Yuan nodded.
"The island owner has ordered me to be the messenger to take you to the Island of Knights. The four of you can just leave your horses in this fishing village. The fishermen will take care of them. Please follow me."
The man in yellow shirt said.
Chu Yuan and his companions followed the yellow-shirted man's instructions and handed the horses over to the fishermen in the fishing village for care, then they were ready to leave with the yellow-shirted man.
Shi Xiaocui and Bai Ahxiu were about to catch up, but were stopped by the man in yellow: "You two are not on the invitation list, please stop!"
Shi Xiaocui said: "I am the leader of the Jinwu Sect, why can't I go to the island?"
The man in yellow shirt said, "Do you have a token for rewarding good and punishing evil? If you have the token, you can go to the island. But each sect leader has a different place to go to the island. Please go to the place notified in advance by the Knight Island and wait."
Hearing the slightly tough tone of the yellow-shirted man from the Xiake Island messenger, Shi Xiaocui had no choice but to give up.
She had originally planned to take Bai Axiu with her to see if they could get to the Island of Heroes together.
But now it seems that her goal cannot be achieved.
After stopping the irrelevant people, the man in yellow shirt led the way: "Four gang leaders, please follow me!"
As he spoke, he brought everyone to a small two-masted sailboat, a little over three meters long and ten feet wide, docked at the seaside pier.
Everyone boarded the boat one after another. Shi Potian stood at the bow of the boat and waved to Ah Xiu and Shi Xiaocui who were standing on the shore: "Master, Ah Xiu, wait for me here. I will come back safely."
Since Chu Yuan informed them in advance, Shi Potian and Bai Axiu naturally did not have any life and death agreement this time.
After Chu Yuan and his four companions boarded the boat, the crew adjusted the sails and slowly sailed away from the shore.
Shi Potian kept waving to Shi Xiaocui and Bai Axiu who were standing on the shore, watching their figures gradually become smaller and finally disappear, while the boat also sailed into the vast ocean.
"Emissary, how far is this place from the Knight Island? How long will it take us to get there?"
Chu Yuan asked the yellow-shirted messenger who was in charge of guiding the passengers while standing at the bow to observe the direction.
"If we travel east for four days, we will be able to see Xiake Island."
The man in yellow shirt said.
According to what the man in yellow shirt said, Chu Yuan speculated that the Xiake Island was not far from the shore and should be on a small island in the offshore area.
Four days is neither long nor short.
There is enough food and fresh water on the boat so we don’t have to go hungry and can guarantee basic living needs.
There are rooms in the cabins on the ship that can shelter from wind and rain. Although it is a bit crowded, at least there is space and area for everyone to rest.
Chu Yuan and his companions were meditating and practicing on the boat, and time passed very quickly.
Four days later.
The morning star is rising and the sky is slightly bright.
A light mist rose above the sea, and in this mist, the outline of a small island gradually appeared in front.
"Everyone, we have arrived at the Island of Heroes!"
The voice of the man in yellow was heard outside the cabin.
Chu Yuan and others who were meditating and practicing in the cabin opened their eyes one after another.
"Let's go out and take a look together."
Chu Yuan stood up and said to Ding Dian, Di Yun, Shi Potian and others.
After speaking, he walked out first.
Upon hearing this, Ding Dian, Di Yun and Shi Potian followed one after another. After they walked out of the cabin, they found that the sailboat was approaching a pier.
There are also several sailboats exactly like this one docked at this pier.
It seems that these are all ships from the Xiake Island going to pick up the leaders of the Central Plains martial arts sects to come to the Xiake Island for a banquet.
There were so many ships that there were more than a hundred of them.
The space at the dock is limited, so ships can only enter in line. The ships behind can only enter the dock after the ships in front leave.
Soon it was Chu Yuan and his crew's turn. After the ship entered the dock and docked, Chu Yuan and his crew got off the ship.
The yellow-shirted man in charge of the reception stood on the boat and shouted to Chu Yuan and the others, "After you get ashore, the four gang leaders just keep going forward. There are people on the island to receive you."
After saying that, the sailboat quickly sailed away from the dock.
"let's go."
Seeing people dressed in extraordinary clothes, suspected to be the leaders of the Central Plains martial arts sects getting off the boat one after another, Chu Yuan said to the other three.
The four of them walked along the pier towards the Knight Island.
"Silly boy!"
As a result, they had not taken a few steps when they were stopped by a strong voice.
Chu Yuan and the others stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that the person who called them was a tall and burly old man with white hair and beard.
"grandfather!"
Shi Potian shouted happily and enthusiastically when he saw the old man.
"No wonder I felt you looked familiar from a distance, it turned out to be you!"
The old man was also very happy to see Shi Potian.
"Who are the three of them?"
The old man looked at Chu Yuan and the other two again.
"Grandpa, let me introduce them to you. They are the first leader of the Yunlong Gang, Ding Dian, the second leader, Chu Yuan, and the third leader, Di Yun. I am the fourth leader of the Yunlong Gang."
The stone breaks the sky.
"Brother Ding, Brother Chu, Brother Di Yun, this is my grandfather, Bai Zizai, the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect."
Then Shi Potian introduced the old man to Chu Yuan and the other two.
"You are Chu Yuan, the second leader of the Yunlong Gang, who is known as the best in the world, the 'Cloud Dragon Sword God'?"
Bai Zizai ignored Ding Dian and Di Yun beside him and turned his gaze to Chu Yuan.
"Chu Yuan has met Mr. Weide."
Chu Yuan nodded.
"Good boy, I have long wanted to learn from you. Is your martial arts really as good as the rumors say, the best in the world? Now that we meet today, we must see who is better."
Bai Zizai said immediately.
He looks eager to try and ready to take action!
"Grandpa, we are on the Knight Island now. If you want to compete, we have plenty of time."
Shi Potian persuaded from the side.
To be honest, Ah Xiu's grandfather Bai Zizai is no match for himself, let alone Chu Yuan.
He didn't think highly of Bai Zizai's challenge to Chu Yuan, but Bai Zizai was Ah Xiu's grandfather as well as his own grandfather, so he could only persuade him.
"Since you are begging for mercy, I will let you go. When I have time, I will definitely take a look at your weight as the number one in the world."
Shi Potian's words reminded Bai Zizai of where he was, and he said to Chu Yuan.
"welcome any time."
Chu Yuan just smiled and said.
