After Zhang Jiao and his party saw the island, they put aside their previous thoughts of returning and hurried towards the island. They were also lucky. With the efforts of the sailors, several ships arrived soon.
shoal.
In order to prevent stranding, the sailors anchored here and quickly rushed to the island in a small boat. Led by Zhang Jiao, when they jumped onto the island, Zhang Jiao couldn't care less about his usual pretense and everyone jumped off the boat.
Ecstatic and laughing.
"Everyone, wait a minute, don't disturb the gods here!" Zhang Jiao frowned and shouted. After everyone discovered the island, they also had a vague respect for Zhang Jiao. Han people mostly respected ghosts and gods, so the sailors quickly stopped talking.
, followed Zhang Jiao respectfully.
Zhang Jiao looked at the land under his feet piously, took a deep breath, and walked slowly forward, reciting some scriptures every step he took to show his piety.
During such a slow journey, they walked into the interior of the island. The island was no different from the small islands around Dahan. There were no cranes, flying dragons, or trees or trees. There was nothing here.
It was very normal. Some wild rabbits jumped by the sailors without fear of these people. In Zhang Jiao's opinion, this was a miracle, but the sailors gradually became noisy again.
"Hey, if the emperor can come here, he will definitely be excited. The emperor loves to shoot hares the most!"
Some sailors shouted.
"Nonsense, how do you know how the Holy Emperor hunts..."
"I once accompanied the general to conquer the mountain people and had the honor to guard the hunting ceremony. At that time, I heard that the emperor shot hundreds of rabbits in one day!"
Everyone was noisy, but Zhang Jue was a little unhappy. He frowned and coughed, and everyone calmed down. They followed Zhang Jue for nearly half a day, but they didn't find anything, not even a living person.
.
There are no houses or cultivated land here. It doesn’t look like an island with people at all. There are quite a few ferocious beasts. Hundreds of people encountered several ferocious beasts one after another and were killed by them. In the evening, they were unwilling to leave anymore.
No matter how much Zhang Jiao tried to persuade them, they refused to leave. In desperation, they had no choice but to camp here. They hunted some hares and lit a bonfire. They had not tasted meat for a long time, and they had a good time.
As we started eating, the atmosphere instantly became heated, and everyone was laughing and raunchy while eating.
Zhang Jue sat far away and said nothing. The leader of the sailor came to him and handed him a rabbit leg with a smile. The rabbit leg was roasted by the fire and was fragrant, which whetted his appetite. Zhang Jue smiled.
He looked at him and said, "Thank you, sir. In order to find the immortal and retrieve the elixir for your majesty, I will fast for three days as a sign of piety."
The man was stunned, then grinned and said: "We set off from Qingzhou, but you never asked our names and were unwilling to talk. Now you don't even accept meat, but you look down on us?"
Zhang Jiao shook his head and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare to do this. I just want to seek immortality... Sigh~" As he said that, he raised his head, and the rabbit leg in the man's hand was still stretched out towards him without letting go.
Come down.
Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand and took the rabbit leg. Without saying anything, the man said with a smile: "Zhang Jun, we have to go on a journey tomorrow. If we fast, won't we delay our search for immortals~ Hahaha~"
The man laughed and turned to leave. At this moment, Zhang Jiao felt that this man was extraordinary. He stood up and shouted: "I don't know your name?"
"My name is Taishi Ci, whose courtesy name is Ziyi, and I am a native of Qingzhou." The man said with a smile. Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "Zhang Jiao of Jizhou, thank you for your kindness."
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, it's not that I love you. It's just that when I left, my benefactors told me to take good care of you and be trusted..." He said and sat down on Zhang Jiao's bed.
Next to him, through the light of the bonfire, Zhang Jiao could see that this was a tall and strong man.
He has a resolute face, eyebrows like horizontal swords, and Han people value appearance. Seeing this person's appearance, Zhang Jiao felt a little closer to him, and told Tai Shi Ci what he had been ordered by the emperor. However, Tai Shi Ci did not seem to care about these.
Not interested, even here, he has no respect for the gods.
He said: "Zhang Jun, as you are the leader of all people, you should get closer to the sailors, talk more, and make them admire you with your noble morals."
"But during these times, you stay behind closed doors, spend a lot of time alone, and don't talk to us. You even don't even want to eat meat with us. This may cause chaos."
"If Zhang Jun intends to take us back to seek immortality, he must love his soldiers and unite us as one. This is why I am chatting with you today." Tai Shici finished speaking slowly, stood up, and bowed to Zhang Jiao.
, and left.
When the construction of the canal began, he was transferred to an official. He was first attacked by Wen Ren, and then Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw that he was brave and handsome, so he reused him. From a young official, he became Dong Zhuo's confidant.
Dong Zhuo was also a handsome man. Facing the poor Taishi Ci, he had no prejudice and loved him very much. Finally, after receiving the emperor's order, Dong Zhuo sent Taishi Ci to lead a large number of men in order to gain some credit for this matter.
Help each other.
He didn't believe in Xunxian. This island was just an uninhabited desert island. His purpose was just to fulfill Dong Zhuo's instructions. At this moment, Zhang Jiao stood up and slowly sat beside these soldiers.
The laughing and noisy soldiers suddenly stopped, and there was silence all around.
Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "What? Don't you want to share some meat with me?"
"Hahaha~" Everyone started laughing, and someone joked: "We are not Wenren Gong, so of course we are willing to eat some meat!"
Zhang Jue sat with them and started eating with a smile. The atmosphere returned to normal. Taishi Ci sat opposite Zhang Jue with some surprise and looked directly at him. This man was not a pure liar.
He was quite eloquent. Zhang Jiao became extremely talkative in an instant, which even Taishi Ci couldn't believe.
On the second day, Zhang Jiao seemed to be a completely different person, chatting and laughing with these soldiers and heading towards the depths of the island. The sailors composed of these soldiers stopped complaining and began to concentrate on exploring the surroundings. This made Zhang Jiao
I am very happy and very grateful to Tai Shici for his advice.
Unexpectedly, after these soldiers carefully searched, they found something around them. They found several remaining bonfires. At least, this showed that they were not the only living people on the island, which made Zhang Jiao very excited.
, he ordered the soldiers to call Xu Xian's name as they walked. Among the many sailors, Tai Shi Ci was the only one who did not speak.
The group walked for several days, and found some remnants one after another during this period. Of course, what shocked them even more was that there were some open-pit mines here and several types of livestock that they had never seen before.
However, no immortals have been seen for a long time. The fleet that had just cheered up now turned into decadence again.
