Wuzhong Island is a small island to the north of Xumi Island. It suddenly appeared four hundred years ago and only appears for two days, twice a year. It disappears completely at other times and is extremely mysterious.
Only the elders and high priests of the tribe can go to the island, and no one else knows anything about it.
And no one knows what they do every time they go up there.
Hai Yan felt uneasy. No matter how powerful Rong Chaoxi was, he didn't want Chaoxi to be in any danger in his territory.
During the Ghost Festival, Rong Chaoxi sensed that Cang Mo's soul fragments were on Xumi Island, but after coming here, she did not smell that familiar scent.
Therefore, during this period of time, I walked around the island every day in the hope of finding any clues.
Suddenly, Hai Yan thought of a possibility.
Could it be... there?
Where did that mysterious island come from, and why does it have the function of isolating the aura of gods?
If the soul fragments of Lord Cang Mo are really there, then Chao Xi must go there.
"Hai Yan, what's wrong with you?" Hai Xing suddenly spoke, pulling him back to his thoughts.
"You look very bad. Did the high priest punish you again?" she asked worriedly.
Hai Yan's talent was discovered when he was nine years old.
He was not like Haidu and Haixing, who were raised by the Great Elder and learned magic since childhood.
Therefore, he had to take many more classes every day than others, and he would be punished if he failed to learn enough.
Fortunately, he was gifted and learned quickly, and soon caught up with their progress.
"It's okay, I'm fine..." He pulled the corner of his lips, looked at Hai Xing, and suddenly asked:
"Haixing, you've been with the Great Elder since you were young. Have you ever heard him mention Endless Island?"
"Wuzhong Island? Grandpa never mentioned it before..." Haixing touched his chin and thought for a while.
"But every time he comes back from the island, it's as if he has absorbed the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon. He is full of energy and has fewer gray hairs."
At this point, Hai Yan asked, "Grand Elder, how old are you?"
"I don't know, maybe over a hundred years old?" Haixing said, "I heard from Aunt Niu that when she was still young, Grandpa looked like this."
"It looked like this more than forty years ago..." Hai Yan lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Because of the nourishment of divine power, spiritual plants are everywhere on Xumi Island, and the islanders live longer than people outside. It is said that three thousand years ago, there were many people who could live to be three hundred years old.
But now, one hundred and fifty years is the limit.
Thinking carefully, the high priest seemed to have changed every time he came back from Endless Island, but he seemed tired?
What is the meaning of this Endless Island?
"Young Master, Young Master..." At this time, a group of children came to the Sea God Temple, "Brother Du has woken up, and he wants you to come over."
Hai Yan and Hai Xing looked at each other and immediately ran towards the elder's house.
Haidu was the person who hit the barrier and fell into the sea on the day of summoning the gods.
After he was rescued, the witch doctor said he was fine, but three days passed and he still didn't wake up.
When they arrived at Haidu's room, they saw him sitting at the head of the bed polishing his sword. Apart from a bump on his head, he seemed to be in good spirits. The two finally felt relieved.
"Why did you go to the distant sea that day?" Hai Yan asked.
Kaidu was surprised, "...You said I was unconscious for a few days and went to the distant sea?"
Hai Yan nodded and asked, "You don't remember?"
"That day, Princess Chaoyang summoned the gods, and a huge wave arose on the sea. After the waves subsided, Princess Chaoyang said that someone had fallen into the sea."
"We went looking for you and found you floating on the sea. Luckily, we had the floating light and floating jade, otherwise you would have been eaten by sharks..."
"It's ten miles from the shore. How did you get there without a boat?"
Although they have the ability to fly using divine power, they cannot fly that far. The people of Xumi Island usually travel by boat.
"I don't remember." Haidu frowned slightly. "I only remember that after the waves rose that day, I seemed to be knocked unconscious by something. When I woke up, I was at home."
"My barrier is incredibly strong. Not only can waves and lightning not get in, but nothing can get out either."
Suddenly thinking of what Chaoxi said, Hai Yan looked at the big bump on Hai Du's head and seemed to understand something.
"You just woke up, so I won't disturb you. Just take a rest." Hai Yan said, "Haixing, take good care of your brother. If you need anything, come to me."
"Okay." Starfish responded.
"Ayan, are you okay?" Haidu was a little worried.
"Ah? I'm fine." Hai Yan said.
"Your expression looks very solemn." Haidu said.
Hai Xing nodded and said, "When I saw you in the Temple of the Sea God, you looked very unhappy."
Hai Yan: ...
"Am I that obvious?" He touched his face.
The two siblings nodded in unison.
"You've never been able to hide your worries since you were a child. Everything is written on your face." Haidu said, "If there's anything, tell us. Haixing and I will be with you to face it together. Don't carry it alone."
He knew that as the young master of Xumi Island, he was responsible for protecting the ocean and the hopes of his people, and the pressure was great.
"..." Hai Yan opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing: "I'm really fine, I just failed to pray to the gods..."
He sighed softly, "It's getting late. I'm going back first. I'll come see you tomorrow."
"Okay, if you are tired, just have a good rest. Don't worry about me. I have Haixing to take care of you." Haidu said with a smile.
Although the two siblings were raised by the Great Elder, they took care of each other and the Great Elder only provided them with a home.
Haixing sent the man out the door, and when he came back he saw his brother sitting upright.
"Xingxing, are you hiding something from me?"
“…”
"Princess Chaoyang can summon the Chaoyang Divine Tree?" In another room, the Great Elder stroked his beard and muttered to himself, "Interesting, you've actually come back to life..."
…
On the way back, Hai Yan thought a lot.
During the time when Kaito lost his memory, his body must have been controlled by someone.
But the training books left by the Sea God were mostly about defense and a few about attack, and they had never even heard of the spells that could control other people's bodies.
There may be more than just locals on this island, or in other words, more than just people from the mortal world.
But why did he control Haidu's body to go to the open sea? If there was no barrier between Chaoxi and Qixi, where would he take Haidu...
Before he knew it, he arrived at a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen. General Cao and a few others were practicing swordplay, Rong Yubai and a few others were playing Mahjong, and Han Qinmo was carrying Rong Chaoxi on his back to pick fruit from the trees.
Everything was harmonious, just like that year at the general's mansion.
Rong Yubai saw him coming and asked, "Why are you here so late at night? Do you want to come over and play with us?"
Hai Yan curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."
He relaxed temporarily until the evening. After dinner, Rong Yubai sent him out.
"Ayan, what happened?"
"If you have any trouble, just tell us and we will help you."
When I first met Hai Yan, he always had a smile on his face, as bright and sunny as the sun on the sea.
Even if you are bullied day and night, don't be discouraged, there is always endless energy.
But this time when he came to Xumi Island, he seemed to be deeply tired and depressed.
After hearing this, Hai Yan finally couldn't maintain the not-so-nice smile he had been pretending to have for the entire afternoon.
"Abai, maybe it was a mistake to bring you here..."
