East China Sea coast.
Most people in Donghai make a living by fishing. Every household has at least one fishing boat. At the same time, every household regularly weaves and dries nets, collects the fish they need to eat, and hangs up the fish they don't need to eat to dry, or packs them in barrels and transports them to nearby counties for sale.
The fishing village where Li Xing lives is a village that has been located on the east coast for generations. To date, the generations listed in the family tree have been passed down for about fifteen generations.
That morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly on the East China Sea, making it a perfect day for drying fish.
Li Xing took the fish he had just caught when he returned from the sea, hooked the fish's lips one by one with iron hooks, and then hung them on the rack.
All the fish were gutted, their internal organs cleaned out, and then supported with wooden sticks to prevent their bodies from recombination, allowing sunlight to reach the fish more comprehensively.
At this moment, a strange cry was heard. Li Xing was puzzled and looked around subconsciously. In an instant, he saw a flying horse coming from a distance. When it got closer and he looked carefully, Li Xing couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
I saw a man without his lower body lying on the horse's back.
This, this person is still alive?
Wu Changsheng ran for a long time. Because of the loss of his lower body, even though he only had the strength of a master, his control over the power of heaven and earth was quite flawed.
Therefore, he could not travel long distances relying solely on his body, and had to rely on external forces from time to time. For example, the horse he was lying on was a wild horse captured and tamed from the wild.
Seeing the village where Li Xing was, Wu Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly rode over and asked him, "Have you ever seen an island floating in the sea?"
Li Xing has been fishing at sea for many years, and he has seen many strange things. He is very brave. When he saw Wu Changsheng asking for advice, he thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I have never seen this."
A hint of disappointment immediately appeared on Wu Changsheng's face, but it was understandable that it was not easy to find an island in the vast ocean.
"Sir, you could ask the old man in our village. He's the oldest elder and has lived on this beach for nearly a hundred years. Perhaps he knows what you're talking about."
Although Wu Changsheng didn't hold high hopes, he still nodded, determined not to miss any opportunity. "Thank you for your help. No matter what the result is, I will reward you handsomely."
Li Xing walked towards the village, and Wu Changsheng dismounted and followed him. He was seen walking with his hands supporting himself on the ground. The missing part below the waist made him look very sad.
When I arrived at the largest hall in the village, I saw an old man with a white beard down to his waist sitting on the highest chair in the hall, holding a fan in his left hand and a teapot in his right hand. He looked to be in good health.
"Old man, there is a guest from outside who wants to ask you some questions." After Li Xing entered the room, he walked to the old man and said very respectfully.
This is the oldest man in the village.
"Huh?" When he saw Wu Changsheng following behind Li Xing, even though the old man had lived to such an old age, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wu Changsheng's appearance.
Because in the impression of these ordinary people, no one can survive after suffering such serious injuries.
"Sir, I wonder what you want to ask."
Wu Changsheng said, "Have you ever seen an island swimming on the sea?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's expression changed instantly and became extremely surprised.
Anyone who saw this expression would know that something was bound to happen, and Li Xing was secretly delighted.
"You know?" Wu Changsheng asked.
"Although I don't know why you came all the way here to look for something like this, I do know what you're talking about..."
Before the old man could finish his words, Wu Changsheng swung his sleeves, and four or five silver ingots as big as fists rolled out of his sleeves in an instant, spinning on the ground.
For a moment, everyone in the hall was shocked. They had never seen so much silver before.
"Tell me everything you know, and I'll give you a big reward."
Everyone couldn't help but look at the old man, sincerely hoping that he could give an answer that would satisfy the guest.
"It was one day thirty years ago. I was out fishing. Halfway through, the sea suddenly rolled up with huge waves. The sunny sky turned cloudy. The boat was rocking violently, and the sea was very rough. That's when I saw the island."
Wu Changsheng had no interest in listening to mortals' stories, so he immediately asked, "Where is the island?"
"I encountered the island half a day's boat ride northeast of the village. We moored the boat to avoid the rain, but within half an incense stick of time, the boat hadn't moved, and we had drifted several feet away from our anchor. That's when I realized the island actually moved. It was really strange."
"Yes, that's right! That's it."
"But sir, I only know this. You also know that the island will move. Now, I can't find the whereabouts of the island for you." The old man shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I know the location, I have a way to deal with the rest." Wu Changsheng swung his sleeve again, and a leather bag fell out of his sleeve. As the leather bag fell to the ground, the drawstring was untied, and several golden ingots rolled out instantly.
The shock this time was even greater than that of the silver ingots just now. Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, even the oldest old man was no exception.
If we could get this money, the whole village would probably become rich.
For a moment, some people couldn't help but wonder how many treasures Wu Changsheng had hidden on his body. It would be great if they could get them all.
