Chapter 132: Island (Part 1)
Bai Mengmeng drove the car onto the highway, feeling a little emotional.
What on earth did they do when they came back this time?
Apart from collapsing the house, it seems that there is nothing else to gain. So why did they come back?
It’s really... speechless.
Moreover, Bai Mengmeng hasn't taken a bath for two days and wears the same clothes every day. She was originally unkempt, and after coming to the Qiongye Sect, she felt like a savage.
Now this van not only smells of pickled vegetables, but also a lot of sweat odor, which is really a headache.
"We feel like refugees..." Huaguduo expressed everyone's thoughts in one sentence.
Bai Mengmeng shook her head helplessly: "When we get to Jiancheng, it won't be so hard."
Huaguduo opened his phone, looked at the map, and spoke in confusion.
"But Master, is there really a Gaizi Mountain in this city? There's no deep mountains or old forests on the map. Of the surrounding mountains, the tallest is only 86 meters high."
Less than a hundred meters...
Bai Mengmeng didn’t know how to complain. This was not a mountain at all, it was clearly a small mound of earth!
But there is no point in worrying about it now. Director Fang told them that someone will be sent to pick them up when they arrive, so they don't need to worry too much.
Sucheng was actually quite far away before, and this Jiancheng was even farther away. Bai Mengmeng and Wang Hao took turns driving, and they either rested in service areas or slept in small hotels along the way.
It took dozens of hours to finally arrive at the destination.
As soon as she arrived at the place, Bai Mengmeng immediately felt a unique atmosphere. Not only was the ground wide and the roads smooth, but there were also many tall buildings. It seemed that the economy was developing quite well.
When they arrived in the city, the scenery outside the window also made Xu Bo walk into the legend.
Although Phoenix Mountain is beautiful, it is just a rural area. The city in front of us is majestic and full of worldly life.
Looking around, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, an urban forest built of steel and concrete, with wide roads dotted around and tall plane trees on both sides, adding a bit of green to the city.
"Let's just wait here. I don't know when the people who are coming to pick us up will arrive."
After Bai Mengmeng parked the car, she felt a little nervous.
But before long, an off-road vehicle that looked particularly expensive stopped next to them.
Inside the car window was a man wearing sunglasses. He looked to be in his twenties, with a nose like a hanging gourd and slightly thin lips. When he took off his sunglasses, he revealed a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
"You are all fellow Taoists from the Qiongye Sect, right?"
Bai Mengmeng nodded quickly: "It's us. The marriage is to pick up our teacher Jiang Song? I'm sorry to bother you this time."
Jiang Song looked at it silently for a few times, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"We want to go to the mountains, but the roads along the way are not easy to travel on. I'm afraid your car will have trouble navigating it. I'll drive slower later, and you'll have to be in better shape."
Just turn the steering wheel, step on the accelerator and go.
Bai Mengmeng started the car with a bit of hesitation on her face: "This guy seems to look down on our car."
Wang Hao and Huaguduo, upon realizing their leader's god-like driving skills, quickly fastened their seatbelts and said with a grin, "Show him what the Akina Mountain God of Driving is like!"
"Forget it, safety is more important."
Bai Mengmeng drove a Wuling Hongguang and followed behind, slowly leaving the downtown area and entering the tunnel. After coming out, there were fewer people around and the surroundings became empty.
"Why does this location feel a bit strange?" Huaguduo wondered as she looked at the map. "There seems to be only a ferry terminal for cars ahead."
"FERRY SERVICE?"
Bai Mengmeng let the wind blow in from the car window and indeed felt a moist vapor.
Isn't this Gai Zishan? How did he end up at the riverside? What was his destination?
After a while, they saw a pier.
"Follow me, do you see that ship? We need to drive the car onto the ship!" Jiang Song shouted.
"Understood!!!"
Bai Mengmeng followed behind and boarded the ferry smoothly.
The ship was quite small, with a flat and empty deck. It seemed that there were only two cars on it. Perhaps they were specially sent out to greet them?
"This..." Wang Hao looked at the surging river water, "I feel a little seasick. Where are we going?"
Bai Mengmeng pursed her lips and sighed helplessly: "It seems that we have all been deceived. The so-called Gaizi Mountain is probably not a mountain at all."
…
The ship was moving slowly, and no one knew how long it had been sailing before it finally slowed down. The sun was setting in the west, and its afterglow shone on the undulating surface of the waves. Countless golden spots of light rose and fell like leaping fish scales.
When the whistle sounded, Bai Mengmeng finally perked up: "Get ready, we're here!"
Everyone quickly looked out the window and saw a very wide island in the distance.
I don’t know what method this island used. The more I tried to see it clearly, the more blurred my vision became. I couldn’t see what was inside at all.
"When did this island appear? It wasn't there just now, and I can't find it on my phone." Huaguduo opened his phone, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Could it be the legendary Penglai Island?" Seeing that the boat was about to dock, Wang Hao finally perked up.
After the boat docked, the off-road vehicle in front turned on its turn signals to signal to follow.
Bai Mengmeng stepped on the accelerator, followed behind, left the ferry, and entered a small path on the island.
At this moment, she finally understood why Jiang Song had said before that he would drive slower because the road was not easy to drive on.
Because the roads on the island are very narrow, I don’t know whether it is due to the limitations of the terrain or they are built like this deliberately, basically only one car can pass through, and there are many bends, unevenness, and twists and turns. It is indeed quite difficult to drive on this road.
Fortunately, although Bai Mengmeng is not a driving god, her driving skills are still very good, so she turned the steering wheel sharply and followed closely behind the car in front.
Jiang Song looked through the rearview mirror and saw the Wuling Hongguang following behind him. It was driving at a leisurely pace and instead had a sense of ease and freedom. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"It seems your driving skills are pretty good." He glanced at the time. The sun had already set, and if he was any later he would miss dinner.
So he stepped on the accelerator, increased his speed, and hurried towards his destination.
The car swayed from side to side on the road, and after a long time, it finally stopped.
