In the Haizhu Palace, a woman looks out of the window. There is no quality difference between her bamboo house and other bamboo houses. The only difference is that the view here is the best.
Half the window is bamboo and half is the sea, one window is starry sky and the other is curtains.
You can't tell how old she is, as if time has never passed by her, but has wisely avoided her when passing by. This is the benefit of every practitioner who is close to nature.
She entered Tongxuan at the age of twenty and came here, turning a deserted island into a pearl on the sea. She has been practicing here for a full hundred and fifty years, and her realm has also changed from Tongxuan in the three realms of Tongtian to what she is now.
Naturally, and will naturally reach a higher level in the near future. This is nature's reward for her.
Although it is very slow and cannot be compared with those geniuses, it is better than being stable and solid with clear goals. Just like this bamboo sea, it has completely changed its appearance inadvertently, and the sea has changed a lot.
After struggling on the sea of separation for 150 years, she thought she could barely avoid the distractions of this world and immerse herself in her own world of practice. But after these years, she realized that there are some things that you can never avoid as long as you live.
.
There are always contacts, there are always interactions, and there are always compromises, in every aspect, down to the smallest detail.
Whether it is the jurisdiction from Lihai Jiedu Mansion, or the bribery and wooing of various powers, whether it is the occasional harassment of the Hai Clan, or the insatiable greed of the bandits, she needs to balance and deal with it.
I have paid a lot, but also given up a lot; for example, it has become one of the scenic spots of Jiedu Mansion offshore. Not only does it have to receive those endless monks, but it also has to contribute some rouge bamboo every year as an island.
These were things she was never willing to do, but now they have become a habit.
To change all this, there is no other better way than to go to other islands and go deeper into the ocean.
But this also means that there are less entanglements from humans and more harassment from the Sea Clan; as well as these disciples who get along day and night, the bamboo forest all over the island is not one that she can easily give up.
But all this will have a result in the end. As long as she succeeds in being promoted to Jindan, that will be the moment she makes a choice.
This is her plan, but now, even this plan is a little unstable. There is pressure from some aspects and it seems that they don't want to give her time to arrange the arrangement calmly?
Li Zhi was the most powerful pirate group on the sea, and the Cang pirate group gave her the final order and asked Takeda Island to become a supply point for the pirate group.
This is because Takeshima's unique location and unobtrusive commercial connections with the continental shelf allow it to secretly take a large amount of supplies out to sea, and then take the pirates' harvest back to the mainland to sell the stolen goods.
The Cang pirates have many such dens in the offshore, but most of them are inaccessible desert islands, and the transportation is very inconvenient. In addition, in recent years, Jiedu Mansion has not been completely free of labor, and has also destroyed several dens. This makes
The Cang pirates paid special attention to Zhudao.
Frankly speaking, the conditions given by the Cang pirates are not harsh. They will not affect the environment of Zhudao, nor will they stay permanently. They just use it as a transfer station for selling stolen goods, and they are even willing to give Zhudao a certain share of the stolen money.
But Mrs. Zhu knew that this was just the beginning. Once she agreed, she would slowly fall deeper and deeper into the trap, unable to control herself, until in the end she would either become a member of the Cang pirates or die.
A graceful woman walked in gently. This was her eldest disciple, Fengweizhu, who also had spiritual cultivation.
He stood quietly behind him without saying a word.
Mrs. Bamboo sighed, "Do you feel very powerless? We desperately want to get rid of the troubles of the world, but in the end we find that everything we do is so childish and powerless?"
Feng Wei Zhu's expression remained unchanged, "Without him, the only one is Zhan Er!"
As the longest disciple of her master, Fengwei has spent more than a hundred years on Bamboo Island. She is also Madam Bamboo’s most steadfast comrade.
If you don't want to give in, there will be a battle sooner or later.
There are six monks in the three realms of Tongtian in Haizhu Palace. Except for the master, Mrs. Zhu, who is in the natural realm, she and the fourth junior sister are in the realm of sensing gods, and the remaining three junior sisters are in the realm of Tongxuan. For an ordinary island, this power
It's not weak anymore, but it's not enough for an island that is completely your own.
Because they have no idea how many pirates the Cang pirates can gather?
This is not the first time this has happened. The Cang Pirates have made such requests many times in the past ten years, with the intention of using fatigue psychological tactics to bring them down.
Of course they can seek help from their friends or the Jiedu Mansion, but if they cry wolf too often, everyone will take it for granted and no longer pay attention to it.
Helpers cannot stay on Bamboo Island forever, and not all monks are accustomed to the simple and desireless practice life here.
So again and again, friends came, the monks from Jiedufu came, and then left again after waiting for a long time, back and forth, over and over again, until now, not a single helper came, really
I can't stand this kind of torture.
Through such a simple method, the Cang pirates easily destroyed Takeshima's circle of friends, leaving them to rely solely on their own strength to deal with these brutal pirates.
If it weren't for the desire to use Bamboo Island as a transit base and to continue to maintain Bamboo Island's status as a resource attraction, let Haizhu Palace still nominally control Bamboo Island and continue to maintain business relations with the mainland... If it were just to destroy this island,
Probably the Cang pirate group had succeeded a long time ago. After all, on the sea, even if the support rushed here as soon as possible, it would still take a certain amount of time.
The pirates in Cang thought very far, and it was precisely because of this that they procrastinated for more than ten years, dragging down the cultivators on Zhudao to exhaustion.
Mrs. Zhu smiled bitterly, "The best option is to contact Taoist friends and gather together to annihilate the pirates in Cang, but this is also the most impossible to accomplish; because no one knows who they are? How many people are there?
The best strategy is for us to leave here, but where can we go? Without the Cang pirates, there are still blue pirates, deep pirates...
Fighting can only express our will, but this is probably the situation we least want to see. No matter what the outcome is, we are all losers."
Of course they are losers. They stick to an island and are at the mercy of others. They have no initiative at all and need to be prepared for the arrival of pirates at any time and at any time;
It doesn't matter if the pirates fail once, because they can come back again; but how many failures can Takeshima endure? One time can make them irreversible.
"I have a hunch that this time the Cang pirates may no longer be bluffing, they may be serious about it.
We couldn't tell the Jiedu Mansion about this premonition. They had already made several empty runs and complained.
But at least there is one thing we can do, and that is to move the disciples away, which can be regarded as leaving a trace of blood for Zhudao."
