The gold bar is yours, and if I win I don't want your money, but I want you to take us to sea. "

The bearded man was stunned.

Tong Xinmei smiled and flicked her handkerchief, "If you want to ask Master Shui for help, you have to gamble a few hands. Is this the rule?"

The bearded man laughed suddenly, "That's right, it's the rule." He picked up one of the cups and threw a copper coin into the cup, "See clearly."

Then the three cups were disorderly shuffled in the hands of the bearded man.

The bearded man's movements are still not fast, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the cup containing the copper coins in the middle has been moved to the left.

Tong Xin pointed to the cup on the left and was about to speak when the bearded man said: "Think about it, sir, my rules have changed. I only gamble for one game, and the winner will be determined in one game. If you fail to win, then don't come here again." Find grandpa to do something."

"Understood." Tong Xin disagreed, then looked at the cup on the left again, "The copper coins are not in the cup on the left."

Duan Junheng suddenly lifted the cup, and the copper coin was not in the cup on the left.

The bearded man's complexion changed, and he suddenly realized that Tong Xin was playing tricks on him.

He heard Tong Xin say again: "It's not in the cup on the right either."

The bearded man wanted to lift the quilt first, but how could he be faster than Duan Junheng.

The cup on the right was bounced off by Duan Junheng, and it was really empty again.

Only the last middle cup is left.

"The copper coins are in the cup in the middle." Tong Xin winked at the bearded man, "If there are no copper coins in the cup in the middle, then you are the one paying the money."

The bearded man was sweating profusely, and the onlookers seemed to recognize the smell, no wonder they never guessed right.

The fishermen started to take out their harpoons, and whenever they found the bearded man out, they would poke holes in him.

Looking at the excited fishermen, the bearded man smiled reluctantly, "Congratulations, you guessed right."

The bearded man slapped the cup angrily, and then he had to lift the cup, and there was a copper coin inside.

Tong Xin knew that he was not convinced, "This is the second time you have lost to me."

The bearded man's eyes suddenly widened, "You...you...you...two...two..."

Tong Xin immediately became angry, "You are only two, and your whole family is two."

"..." It took a long time for the bearded man to say, "Short."

The curly bearded man was known as Shui Dafa, known as Master Shui, and he was originally the deputy head of the Cao Gang, but he liked to gamble and be a banker, and was expelled from the Cao Gang after losing a fleet of the Cao Gang.

Shui Dafa does have some problems with his character, but he is absolutely willing to admit defeat, and he is a good sailor no matter in the river or in the sea. With this person at the helm, even if the trip to Hellfire Island is difficult and dangerous up.

Since it was getting late, everyone decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up and disguised themselves, but Tong Xin was still sleeping soundly with his pillow in his arms.

After Duan Junheng transformed himself into a fisherman, he sat on the bedside and slapped Tong Xin on the ass, "The rooster has been crowing several times, get up quickly."

Tong Xin turned around with his eyes closed, and said in a daze, "The rooster crows as long as it crows. Anyway, it crows as a hen, and I'm not a hen."

Duan Junheng: "..."

Normally, if Tong Xin was carried on his shoulder, he would be able to leave, but today he needed to modify it, and it would not be easy without his cooperation.

So Duan Junheng said again: "I managed to get you a mermaid costume, but it's really fun to have a tail. If you don't get up again, Fang Suqing will take it. He likes it better than you."

Fang Suqing, who was separated by a curtain, looked at the... mermaid costume in her hand, "..."

"No." Tong Xinteng sat up, "At most he will look like a mermaid, and he will definitely not look like a mermaid."

Fang Suqing: "..."

But after boarding the boat pretending to be fishermen ready to go fishing, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief, only Tong Xin still had the desolation of being deceived.

"Brother, you have deceived my young heart." Tong Xin complained.

While pouring tea for him, Duan Junheng said, "Where did you lie to me?"

Tong Xin broke out immediately, "You lied to me that it was a mermaid costume."

Duan Junheng didn't change his face, pointed at Tong Xin, "Man," and then picked up a string of salted fish hanging from Tong Xin's shoulder, "Fish. What is it if it's not a mermaid costume?"

"..."

Tong Xin twitched his mouth aggrievedly, this was obviously selling salted fish costumes.

Shui Dafa's boat can't be seen to be any different from other people's boats, and I don't think it will be faster than others' boats.

Moreover, the boat was not big, so Daoist Tiandao and the others doubted whether such a small boat would be able to withstand the wind and waves.

But after Shui Dafa set sail, everyone found that Shui Dafa could turn the sails in good time by himself according to the wind direction while he was at the helm.

When the boat passed other boats all the way out of the dock, everyone believed in Shui Dafa's speed.

Thanks to the smooth sailing, Tong Xin and the others soon arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Shui Dafa changed the boat. Although the new boat was not big, it looked much stronger.And there is a waterwheel-like runner beside the boat, and I don't know what it is for.

But seeing the boat, Tong Xin was frightened and shouted, "Roll around the boat."

Duan Junheng asked Bao Shen Chidu, "What is rolling around?"

Bao Shenchi also had lingering fears in his heart and said: "Let the second young master fail to find the boat from Bei up to now."

Duan Junheng: "..."

"Then why is it in Shui Dafa's hands?" Duan Junheng asked.

"After the second young master won this man's fleet, Madam gave it as compensation." Bao Shen said.

On the deck of the ship, Shui Dafa reverently invited out a statue of Avalokitesvara, and then offered incense and kowtowed, "The merciful and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, bless me for my safe return."

Tong Xin came over and squatted next to Dafa in the water, and said sincerely: "I think your request is embarrassing for the Bodhisattva, but if you are infertile, it should be right to seek her."

Shui was taken aback, "Why?"

"Because this is Avalokitesvara."

"..." Shui Dafa silently replaced the doll in Guanyin's hand with a jade bottle, "I forgot to change the Bodhisattva's equipment and worshiped it."

Everyone: "..."

Tong Xin said: "Multifunctional Bodhisattva, where did you buy it?"

"..."

After Shui Dafa paid homage to Guanyin, he told Tong Xin and the others, "The situation on the sea is changing rapidly. One moment, the blue sky may be thunderous, and the next moment there may be thunder and lightning, so I don't care whether the weapons of the heroes are Shangfang's sword or Shangfang's sword. , put them away for me." Then, facing Tong Xin, "Did you hear that?"

Tong Xin patted Shui Dafa's shoulder on tiptoe, "Don't worry about me, I don't have a Shangfang sword or a Shangfang sword, and I just commit crimes occasionally."

Shui Dafa: "...then I was struck by lightning even more."

Tong Xin: "..."

"There are a lot of thunder and lightning at sea, you need to be careful when you commit crimes."

"..."

59. To Hellfire Island ([-])

In the eyes of everyone, the boat is so strange when the water is rolling around.

Because even if the weather is calm and no one is rowing, the boat can still move forward.

What Shui Dafa did was to steer the helm, throw wood into a stove, and take time to look at the big water wheel beside the boat.

The dark blue sea is deep and deep, and she who is so calm is like a huge silk satin, vast and endless, and people are so small in it, and the sea can swallow them all with just a little turbulence.

The depths of the mist are misty and mysterious, and the boat slowly sails into the place where the mist rises.

When you first entered, the smoke was lingering and you could still see. The further you went in, the thicker the fog became, and you could hardly see your fingers.

Shui Dafa accelerated the speed of the boat, and at the moment when it rushed out of the dense fog, the scorching sun suddenly pierced into the eyes, and the pain in the eyes could not be seen.

After a little bit getting used to the strong sunlight, everyone was surprised to find that the thick fog behind them was like a gauze curtain entering this sea area, and inside the gauze curtain was another world.

Everyone's first feeling is the heat, like being in a steamer.

The air was humid and hot, and after a while, everyone was sweating profusely.

Everyone fanned the wind with their sleeves, but every time the wind blowing towards their faces was so hot that it made people feel more uncomfortable.

Someone had a whim and wanted to pour a bucket of seawater into the body with a wooden bucket to cool down, but even the seawater was warm, and it felt like taking a hot bath after showering, and the water evaporated very quickly. People who have been drenched in seawater under the scorching sun have a thin layer of salt frost all over their bodies, making people feel even more uncomfortable.

Shui Dafa wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, "This is the Hellfire Islands you mentioned."

"Islands?" Sun Biyun was stunned, "Hellfire Island is not an island, but an archipelago?"

"Yes," Shui Dafa looked at the small flag drooping on the mast because there was no wind, "The Hellfire Islands are composed of dozens of islands and reefs and one fire island with an active volcano. The reason why this area is so hot , all because the active volcano spews hot flames from time to time."

Everyone quickly found the volcano. In the distance of islands and reefs of different sizes, there was a volcano still smoking, and they could be found at a glance.

Sun Biyun respectfully asked Master Tiandao, "Really, it should be that volcano."

Daoist Tiandao sat under the shadow of the sail, without even moving his eyelids, "Yes."

Sun Biyun pointed to the volcano in the distance, "We're going to that fire island."

Shui Dafa was already shirtless, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Everyone is puzzled, why is it not easy to say what is right in front of you?

Shui Dafa explained to them: "The sea area in this area is very strange. It looks like it's just ahead but you can't get close no matter what. It's like encountering a ghost hitting a wall on the land road. No matter how you go, you're just going around in circles. "

They didn't believe the head of Huashan.

At this time Tong Xin spoke, "Shui Dafa, since they don't believe it, let them see it."

Master Tiandao opened his eyes to look at Tong Xin, but remained silent.
