After the immortal disappeared

At sunset, Centipede Island is the home of three pirates.

The volcanic eruption I don’t know how many years ago left this island with natural and magnificent terraced mountains. The tide receded, and the setting sun gilded the little crabs and jumping fish crawling through the puddles with a layer of gold.

A small boat came from the sea.

The pirates patrolling the shore became alert and were about to step forward with force, but found that the person coming was one of their own.

Soon after, the spy covered in semen stood in front of Yue Pinghe and reported what he had seen in Blade Port.

"You mean, Min Tianxi helped the new island owner connect with Huang Zhao?"

"Yes, they sat together and chatted for a long time. The second master and the first master were very respectful to the person named He, nodding and bowing."

"It seems that Min Tianxi has really surrendered. He usually talks to me about Qiao, but he is so honest in front of that person named He?" Yue Pinghe murmured to himself, and then asked, "What exactly did they talk about?"

The spy quickly said: "The man surnamed He is recruiting Huang Zhao, and he also said that he is most in need of manpower right now. Huang Zhao asked him, what kind of business will he do in Yangshan Islands in the future?"

"The surname He gave a long speech, saying that he would develop palm fruit oil on all islands and do other businesses. The two Taoist masters nodded several times. He also asked the two Taoist masters which one is more familiar with you."

Yue Pinghe snorted: "People named Huang never want to see me."

"Yes, Huang Zhao recommended it to Min Tianxi, and Min Tianxi took over the job and is going to come to you on behalf of He."

"Finally, Huang Zhao toasted a glass of wine to Lord He, and everyone stood up and left."

Seeing that he didn't say anything else, Yue Pinghe waved him away. He sat on the chair and pondered for a long time before asking the confidant next to him:

"Min Tianxi is so willing to be someone's subordinate and recruits Huang Zhao on behalf of He?"

"I heard that although there are not many men named He, they are all good at cultivation. He asked Min Tianxi to meet at Fishbone Reef. There was a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides, but he managed to win over the two men, and even Min Tianxi was caught on the boat. , I went to Longji Island with the man surnamed He."

"I know all this." Yue Pinghe said angrily, "I heard that Min Tianxi saw with his own eyes that he could capture the evil spirit of Longji Island, so he decided to follow him. Well, this guy must not be pretending to surrender. He can take advantage of it later. The person named He didn't pay attention and took away the treasure that can absorb Yin evil spirits?"

"Has anyone seen that treasure?"

"It seems not." The confidant replied, "We found a person who went to the island with He and asked. As soon as the Yin evil spirit comes close to the owner of He Island, it disappears. Wherever he goes, the Yin evil spirit in the surrounding sea will be absorbed!"

"No wonder he wants to buy the Yangshan Islands!" Yue Ping and Gaozhang said, "When word of this spreads, Bailie will be laughed to death."

The confidant asked cautiously: "Master Taoist, Min Tianxi is coming to be a lobbyist. What are you going to do?"

Yue Pinghe stroked his chin: "Then let's see what conditions the Lord of He Island offers me. We have more than 200 brothers who need to eat and drink. If his price is too low, we will definitely not be able to work for him."

The pirates on the side said one after another: "Boss, you have to ask for the banana forest!"

"And Bai Hudao!"

"We don't want to be sent to the island to pick fruit and squeeze oil for that person named He!" Someone else said, "The knives in our hands are used to settle grudges, not to chop down palm trees."

The pirates were all talking, but the confidants were a little worried: "He won't deal with us like he dealt with Min Tianxi, right?"

"Min Tianxi is so stupid!" Yue Pinghe sneered, "The other party made an appointment at Fish Bone Reef, and he actually agreed? What a narrow place it is. There are more than 400 people in the second lane. At most, there are dozens of people standing on Fish Bone Reef. . Look, if he doesn’t use his numerical advantage, who’s to blame?”

"The negotiation venue will be on our Centipede Island. The person named He must be there so that we can have a good discussion!" Yue Pinghe laughed a few times, "If the negotiation doesn't go well, they won't have to leave the island!"

This night, the gray forest owl on the island had a strange tune and was very scary.

Yue Pinghe tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and drafted the negotiation terms one by one.

What is the temper of the new owner of the Yangshan Islands? The information collected so far is not enough to explain. To be on the safe side, Yue Pinghe also set his own limits. Some conditions were a cover-up, and some were core interests that must be fought for.

By the time he finished deliberating, it was almost dawn.

The next day, Min Tianxi did not come.

On the third day, Min Tianxi still didn't come. On the contrary, more than forty pirates from the first and second groups came over, saying that their old nest had no future and they wanted to defect to Master Yue.

"What the hell are they doing?"

When Yue Pinghe asked, he found out that most of the people from the first and second teams were transferred to the island. Some helped pave roads and build houses, and some put down their swords and guns and replaced them with sickles to harvest palm fruits and squeeze oil - still under the command of Reni. !

The life ideal of these dozens of pirates was to rob ships and do business without capital, not to work as coolies on the island, so they switched to Yue Pinghe.

Yue Pinghe felt strange: Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao really planned to be the subordinates of a yellow-haired boy under twenty years old?

The pirates who came to seek refuge also said that the man named He went to sea again today, bringing with him the leaders of the First and Second Routes.

"Where to go?"

"It seems like we are heading straight to Dragon's Back Island."

"When did you go?" Yue Pinghe also wanted to go and see with his own eyes how Master He Island collects evil spirits.

"We set off early in the morning. We should be returning now."

…

Turn the time back a few hours ago.

It's cloudy at sea, with occasional light rain, which feels a little refreshing on my face.

Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao each took some men and went to sea with He Lingchuan.

While driving to the depths of the archipelago, there were occasional gray mist floating on the sea, all heading towards He Lingchuan, and he collected them calmly.

This was originally a restricted area for most lives, a place that humans talked about with disgrace, but with He Lingchuan standing on the bow of the ship, this sea route quickly became clear and upright.

Min Tian was happy to see the strange thing, but Huang Zhao and the other pirates were severely restrained by He Lingchuan's arrogant and calm attitude.

Min Tianxi patted Huang Zhao on the shoulder: "What, I didn't lie to you?" Look at your ignorant look.

Huang Zhao gave a thumbs up: "Young Master He is a god." What treasure is there that can absorb endless evil energy?

He Lingchuan smiled slightly, knowing that they were shocked, not even awe-inspiring.

In the past few days, whether in Blade Port or in the Pirates' Nest, there have been rumors that the island owner used the treasure to break evil spirits and exorcise them.

This statement is very strange.

Since rumors are a characteristic of news spreading, it would have been nice if He Lingchuan, as the protagonist, was not described as having a green face, fangs, and horns on his head. On the contrary, these news also pointed out that the Yin evil was not broken by himself, but sucked away by the treasure.

The latter is obviously not as mysterious as the former, nor as noble as the former.
