I'm the best catcher in martial arts

Mirage!

This is the legendary mirage!

Not only Lu Xiaofeng and Xiao Qiushui, but everyone sighed in their hearts. Such a huge ship is unique and unique. It is the crystallization of the wisdom and aura that burst out from the contention of a hundred schools of thought. It makes people marvel.

Shipbuilding is not made of wood and iron sheets. The larger the ship, the more difficult it is to build, especially the keel of the ship, which must be very, very tough.

If the keel is not tough enough, it may fall apart just after being launched into the water, and it may not be able to withstand the bumps of wind and waves, let alone sailing such a large ship, which requires excellent sailors.

Steering is a very delicate subject that requires long-term study and rich experience. A helmsman who can sail on the sea for twenty years is comparable to the Dragon King.

Shen Lian couldn't help but look at the sailor next to him.

"Phantom, can it still be activated?"

The sailor smiled and said: "Reporting to Hou Weihou, the mirage has been circulating for thousands of years. Many of the wood have decayed, but the keel is well preserved. In the past forty years, the island owner has carried out many repairs and it is now operational."

"Can your island master repair the mirage? It seems that the island master is very accomplished in the art of mechanism."

Shen Lian was a little surprised.

According to historical records, the mirage was jointly created by the Yin-Yang family and the Gongshu family, but the wisdom contained in it was not limited to these two families. From the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period to the mature theory of the Warring States period, all the wisdom and aura during this period were integrated into the Qin Dynasty that unified the world. All the scientific and technological reserves of the country are above the mirage.

There are not only yin and yang techniques, non-attack mechanism techniques, and domineering mechanism techniques, but also alchemy, puppet techniques, and even star feng shui, yin and yang, five elements, and Bagua formations.

This is a unique and great initiative.

Even after more than a thousand years, it would be impossible to build such a huge ship. Even skilled craftsmen such as Ling Lingfa and Zhu Ting would find it difficult to repair the mirage.

The fact that the two island masters of Longmu can repair the mirage shows that they are proficient in more than just poetry and martial arts.

There is also a possibility that when they were studying the Taixuan Sutra, they found that martial arts and poetry were useless, so they decided to find another way to gain understanding from the aspects of Yin and Yang, mechanism, stargazing, and divination.

Decades of accumulation will definitely pay off.

"The Marquis misunderstood. We have spent more than forty years and consumed countless precious materials. We can only repair the damage slightly and can start it once. But it is obviously impossible to make the mirage sail long distances."

The sailor explained it very humbly.

Shen Lian smiled and said: "In a few days, if you can drive the mirage twice, I can use my brother as a mortgage. If I default on the debt, my brother will belong to you! If you think it is not enough, I can add Lu Xiaofeng."

Shen Yumen: (⊙﹏⊙)

Lu Xiaofeng: (︶︿︶)=convex

"Why don't you use yourself as collateral?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Shen Lian angrily.

Shen Lian looked at Lu Xiaofeng's raised beard like a fool and poked his head.

"You got kicked in the head by a donkey? I want to enjoy the feeling of riding the wind and waves in a mirage, how can I get a mortgage?"

Lu Xiaofeng rolled her eyes: "Why should you enjoy riding the wind and waves? I want to enjoy it too!"

Shen Lian patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, and went directly to the island, leaving only a sigh.

Shen Yumen looked at Lu Xiaofeng, sighed exactly the same, and followed Shen Lian to the island.

Yan Nantian didn't understand, but since Shen Lian and Shen Yumen sighed, they followed suit.

Xiao Qiushui was kinder and did not sigh.

Ximen Chuixue forced herself to hold back her smile.

Zuo Shi added a few words for Shen Lian: "Master Lu, the Marquis has no other intentions. He really is not laughing at you for seasickness. You know, he must..."

Zuo Shi couldn't speak any more.

No fool would believe this.

Lu Xiaofeng swore that if Xiake Island was really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, before dying, he would definitely strangle Shen Lian and use him as a shield.

…

The environment of Xiake Island is quite beautiful.

Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the island is full of lush flowers and trees, the flowers are blooming like brocade, the grass is as soft as grass, rocks are rhyming with pines, white clouds are filling the sky, and flying springs are like springs.

Everyone landed on the left coast.

What comes into view are strange rocks scattered high and low, in various shapes, rising from the ground, and there is even a huge natural stone that looks like a Ganoderma lucidum.

Shen Lian had seen Zhao Ji's Flower and Stone Compendium and knew that strange rocks of this kind were rare but not sought after. If they were carved stones, they would lose their aura.

It is extremely difficult to move such huge boulders, either by water or by boat, or on land until winter.

Why winter?

It's cold and freezing, and water turns into ice. You can use sliding methods to reduce manpower. If you want to move boulders, you need to dig wells on the road. In this era, wells are an important resource, and many villages are named after wells.

For example, Shuntianfu’s: Xiaojing, Gaojing!

It is said that there was a prodigal son who spent all his family property transporting a strange-shaped stone. The stone was never delivered to his home and was called the Prodigal Stone.

The strange stone of Xiake Island is more exquisite and beautiful than the Prodigal Stone, and it was bred on the island. It contains the aura of the sea and is quite mysterious.

Giving Shen Lian three days, Shen Lian was able to create a set of mental techniques based on this huge stone that would strengthen his foundation and cultivate his energy.

Shen Lian has even thought that the effect of the mental method is that the true energy is like water, powerful and pure, washing the body, expelling impurities from the body, and tempering the body every moment.

Walking through the strange stone forest, there is a lake in front of you. Behind the lake are the mountains in the distance, like two arms, embracing the lake in the center of the island. Two waterfalls wind like silver dragons from the cliffs, flying down and roaring loudly. .

The guest rooms are located on the mountainside connected to the lake, with the mountain behind and the lake in front, with high floors and flying bridges.

The servants of Xiake Island took everyone to the guest rooms. Shen Lian felt more and more delighted as he looked at them, and even analyzed the Feng Shui pattern of the building with everyone.

Shen Lian's relatives and friends would not worry about their own safety. Other martial arts people were a little relieved when they saw Shen Lian's calm demeanor.

Bai Zizai secretly lamented in his heart that his title of being the best in internal strength was surpassed by his grandson-in-law. Now he is quite scared. Shen Lian and others are so popular that they are far better than him. He cannot be considered a hero.

How can a hero be afraid?

The title of great hero must be deleted.

…

Shen Lian and others rested in the guest room.

Shen Lian knew the situation on Xia Ke Island and had no worries about it. He chose a room at will and then took his wife and concubine to play and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the island.

Lu Xiaofeng had a restless personality, so she went to the kitchen to check the condition of the Laba porridge to see if it was poisonous.

Yan Nantian and Xiao Qiushui also couldn't sit still. They traveled together and met Shen Yumen on the way. Under Shen Yumen's instigation, they secretly sneaked into the wine cellar of Xiake Island and secretly drank the wine that the owner of Longmu Island had stored for forty years. .

Bai Zizai found an opportunity to seriously educate his grandson-in-law on his knowledge of the world. He took out his treasured medicine bottle and said that it was a pill I refined using Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Let's eat less these two days and take a pill after eating to avoid being plotted against.

The dog brother went in and out, eating all the delicacies brought by the servants, and didn't care about it at all.

On the one hand, the Arhat's magic power of subduing demons can remove poisons.

On the one hand, it never occurred to him that anyone was poisoning.

Bai Zizai was so angry that he thought to himself: Why did Axiu fall in love with such a fool like you? Then he thought again, if Axiu fell in love with someone smart, such as Shen Lian, Shen Yumen, etc., he would definitely suffer a big loss.

I thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

"Hmph! Bastard! All fucking bastards!"

"Grandpa, what bastard?"

Brother Gou looked at Bai Zizai curiously.

Bai Zizai said angrily: "I...bastard!"

"Why did grandpa scold himself?"

"Because I'm mentally ill!"

Bai Zizai has nothing to do against Brother Gou.

He couldn't beat him, but Brother Dog stood there and let him punch and kick him, and he wouldn't be hurt at all.

No matter how scolding, this stupid boy is ignorant about everything and is not afraid of any insult. If you call him a bastard, he will think you are a confidant.

"Well~~~~ I'm so angry!"

Bai Zizai's tone changed eight times, he angrily grabbed a few beards and went to the kitchen to check the situation.

After a while, Bai Zizai returned.

Brother Dog is eating fruit happily.

This is a fruit that is abundant in Xiake Island. It is a very precious tropical fruit called Lianwu. It is very red and looks like rubies.

"Grandpa, try this fruit. My eldest and second brothers sent it. It has a light taste and has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire. You will not be angry after eating it."

Brother Gou smiled and handed over two fruits.

Bai Zizai's face was full of gloom.

Just now in the kitchen of Xiake Island, he found that the colorful Laba porridge he cooked was obviously poisonous. He angrily grabbed a servant and wanted to cause a scene in the kitchen.

Then, he lifted it once, then again, three or four times in a row, without moving the servant.

The servant's internal strength is far superior to his.

Not only that, this guy even said that among the disciples on Xiake Island, the martial arts of making porridge was the worst, and he happened to be the one with the worst martial arts among the disciples who made porridge.

In other words, the servants on Xiake Island who clean tables and sweep floors and serve tea and water are all better in martial arts than him.

Since he was taller than him, he was certainly stronger than Bai Zizai.

Bai Zizai said that he couldn't even beat the one with the worst martial arts skills, let alone the two island owners. He would definitely die during this trip to Xiake Island, which was really sad.

Looking closely, he saw that his grandson-in-law was still eating carelessly. He had nothing to say. He could only pray that fools would be blessed. It didn't matter if he died. His grandson-in-law must live. He immediately gave three or four words of advice.

"Grandson-in-law, don't eat. You must remember my next words clearly. We must be on guard against the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den on Knight Island. If we do something, don't worry about any changes in your moves. Just use your full energy to attack fiercely, and then follow Shen Shen. Practice and run, only then will you have a way to survive!"

"Okay, Grandpa, I remember."

"I remember that you and Shen Lian were friends. How is Shen Lian a person? Is he considered a chivalrous person?"

"Should...forget it!"

Brother Gou scratched the back of his head and told the truth about Shen Lian's experience of getting to know him, such as going to see Fa Hai, and Fa Hai letting him find fate alone...

Bai Zizai: ┗(T﹏T)┛

Get tired, give up, and destroy yourself.

It was the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month when everyone arrived at Xiake Island. They had two days of rest for Laba Festival. In the evening of Laba, the servants of Xiake Island invited people to a banquet to enjoy the best Laba porridge.

The reception hall is located in a huge cave.

The cave was not originally very big, but when Li Bai was engraving the Taixuan Sutra, it was expanded, leaving a huge cave that could be used as a hall.

Shen Lian chose a seat at random, with Jin Bingyun and Feng Suzhen sitting on both sides, Zuo Shi sitting behind him, and beside him were good friends such as Yan Nantian and Lu Xiaofeng.

Many martial arts people choose their seats.

Some had cold and solemn faces, some had murderous intent, some sighed, and some cried.

The one crying was none other than Ding Busi.

Ding Busi was a ruthless fool, so he was naturally not afraid of death. However, when he thought of Bai Zizai's death on Knight Island today and Shi Xiaocui's death for him, he felt that the world was spinning and he felt an indescribable loss.

Shen Lian said: "Senior martial arts masters, why are you so serious? Have you ever heard of the saying, don't be greedy, little kids? It's the New Year after Laba, and it's coming soon, so there should always be a bit of a smile on your face."

A middle-aged Taoist priest said: "Huweihou, your martial arts skills are far inferior to mine. I am willing to obey Huweihou's orders and fight against Xiake Island together."

Another person echoed: "Huweihou, if you protect us from going out, we will support you as the leader of the Central Plains Wulin Alliance and obey your orders."

Then someone said: "If Marquis Huwei doesn't want to run his power, I wonder if Alliance Leader Shen is willing to accept us. We are willing to join the Alliance Leader."

Shen Yumen joked: "Words are not proof, and written documents are not proof. If we file a lawsuit afterwards, even if you want to return, I have no place to reason."

Lu Xiaofeng twitched his beard: "If you are worried about your own safety, you might as well ask Yan Nantian."

Yan Nantian said: "I will not be the leader of the alliance."

Xiao Qiushui said: "I don't want to do it either."

Everyone: ((-_-)-_-)-_-)

"The island owner has arrived."

Accompanied by a deep voice, the second island owner of Xiake Island, Longmu, slowly came forward and sat on the main seat.

The two island owners have white beards and hair, deep eyes, kind eyebrows, and amiable faces. Their brows exude the brilliance of time and wisdom. The Dragon Island owner is wearing a light yellow robe, and the Wood Island owner is wearing a blue robe.

Relatively speaking, Island Master Long was more cordial, and Island Master Mu was more serious. As soon as they sat down, the hall fell silent, and no one dared to speak.

"Brother Hemu is on a deserted island in a secluded place. Today I can see all the eminent sages. I feel very honored and favored. In the deserted mountains and wild islands, everything is simple and crude. I haven't paid enough for it. Please forgive me."

The Dragon Island Master waved his hand, and the servants immediately brought chickens, ducks, fish, delicacies, and fresh seafood.

Xiake Island is an isolated island overseas. There are hundreds of martial arts masters on the island who can catch lobsters and crabs at any time. The seafood is inexhaustible. Even if Shen Lian comes to Xiake Island every day to eat, he can't starve them.

It is possible that before they became poor, Shen Lian suffered from gout due to eating too much seafood. What a shame.

The guests present had a small table per person, and Jin Bingyun and Feng Suzhen were at a separate table, but Shen Lian looked at the seafood in front of him and motioned for Zuo Shi to sit next to him.

Zuo Shi sat over obediently, and under the surprised gazes of everyone, he took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing, cut the crab deftly, and picked out all the crab meat.

Shen Lian said: "Look what I do? This is the most exquisite crab, even the emperor can't eat it!"

Lao Zhu really couldn't eat it.

Because this kind of crab is difficult to transport, unless the crab is transported by flying eagle, you can't eat it fresh.

Zhu Yuanzhang loved sesame cakes and roast duck, but had no interest in seafood, so he really never tasted them.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because everyone envies you. Huweihou is so elegant and unrestrained, accompanied by beauties, and is served with food and water. Who here can compare with you?"

Shen Lian picked up a piece of plump crab meat, dipped it in some ginger balsamic vinegar, and said without raising his head: "Of course it's a certain person with four crooked eyebrows!"

Everyone saw that Shen Lian was eating happily. Some people thought that the seafood was mostly non-toxic, while others felt that he would die and should not be underestimated, so they started eating and drinking.

Bai Zizai grew up in a snowy mountain. He could barely eat some river fresh food, but he was really not used to seafood. To put it bluntly, he was allergic to seafood. After taking two bites, he felt dizzy and mistakenly thought he had been poisoned.

At the critical moment of life and death, Bai Zizai was extremely proud: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Two island owners, bring up the Laba porridge. I want to drink two more bowls!"

Ding Busi said angrily: "Bai Zizai, why are you trying to be a hero? If you die and I live, won't you insult Xiaocui's reputation? If you drink two bowls, I will drink three bowls. Whoever doesn't drink will be the one." Son of a bitch!"

Ding Busi's words obviously refer to Sang scolding Huai.

In his opinion, Laba porridge is poisonous, and the disciples from Xiake Island will definitely not drink it. In this case, they are bastards, all of them are bastards.

Ding Busan echoed: "The fourth child is right, whoever doesn't drink is a bastard, I will drink too!"

Hearing this, everyone started to make a fuss.

The owner of Long Island was used to seeing this kind of scene. He knew that they were worried about the poison in the porridge, so he deliberately acted like this. He was not angry at all, but asked people to serve Laba porridge.

I saw steam rising from the hot porridge, and bubbles were rising up from the bottom of the porridge. The bowl of porridge was all dark green in color, and it looked indescribably weird.

Except for the rice, there was nothing else in the porridge. The vegetables didn't look like vegetables, and the grass didn't look like grass. Some of them looked like tree roots cut into fine particles, and some looked like cassava pressed into flat pieces. The green color was particularly terrifying, like hell. Huangquan.

The owner of Dragon Island picked up a bowl and drank the porridge while explaining to everyone: "Everyone has come from afar, but our island has no respect for you, so we can only give you a bowl of Laba porridge.

There are many good nourishing ingredients in the porridge, the most important of which is the 'Intestinal Broken Bone-corroding Heart-corrosive Grass', which is effective only after it blooms. Unfortunately, this grass only blooms once every ten years, so a banquet is held every ten years.

You're welcome, please have some porridge! "

Looking at the green Laba porridge and hearing the name of the heart-breaking, bone-corroding and heart-corroding grass, Bai Zizai, who had shouted the loudest just now, did not dare to eat. He turned around and saw Shen Lian finishing the crab and picking up the Laba porridge.

"Suck, suck, suck!"

A bowl of porridge quickly entered my stomach.

Feng Suzhen, Jin Bingyun, and Zuo Shi immediately picked up bowls of porridge, and Lu Xiaofeng and others were no exception.

Bai Zizai felt extremely ashamed and thought to himself: If my relatives and friends suffer, can I take poison and live and die with them? No, no, since I'm thinking about this issue, I feel hesitant, but that doesn't count as loyalty or heroism.

All the self-proclaimed names have been deleted.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little regretful.

Everyone is going to die, so why not just drink the Laba porridge first and try to be the first? When death is imminent, not to mention the title of number one, he didn't even get into the top ten! (End of chapter)
