406 Chapter 25 Chapter 18

ps: Today, the ghost man bought a 2,000 yuan card in the afternoon and was about to go to give gifts. He was afraid that he would drink outside and not be at home, so he had to go later. Oh... it was so miserable.

As for those who went to the cave with Liu Ping and others, they did not mention Youzhu much. After saying goodbye, they left each other. Only Zhou Youhao seemed to have some thoughts to follow Liu Ping and others.

Seeing his desire to speak but stop, Xu Yunde couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Zhou, if you treat us as friends, then you don't have to be restrained. Just make a statement if you have anything."

At this time, Liu Ping also saw that Zhou Youhao seemed to have something to do and said, "Yes, Brother Zhou, just say whatever you have? Speaking of which, we can still be considered a friend of life and death."

This sentence was obviously a joke, but after hearing this, Zhou Youhao's expression moved slightly, and then he said, "Since you can treat me as a friend, I might as well say it straight! To be honest, I was actually a fisherman who went out to sea to fish all year round, and my skin was sunbathed on the sea... At that time, my fishing boat was a big boat with a deep water drip, so there were many small boats that we dared not go to, and we went there without delay. For many years, we have been in peace, but unexpectedly, one day in the summer ten years ago, we drove the boat to sea as usual. When we walked, the sea was calm and the waves were quiet, and it was definitely not like a storm for a few days. However, just after noon, dark clouds rose sharply on the sea surface and strong winds started. Although our boat was very strong, ordinary storms could be fully withstood, but that time..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Youhao's expression was quite sad, and Liu Ping and others also guessed the result. Xu Yunde patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Zhou, it's been so long since the matter has passed, so don't think about it."

Zhou Youhao sighed, nodded, and then continued to say, "All thirty people in the boat were buried at the bottom of the sea. At that time, I was knocked unconscious by the huge waves. Fortunately, before the boat broke apart, I tied my body to a driftwood, and then I saved my life. When I woke up from my coma, I didn't know how long it took. At that time, it was already late at night, and the sea was pitch black and nothing could be seen. There was no other sound around me except the sound of waves and wind. At that time, I just thought that I must be buried in the sea this time. Thinking of the companions I left before, I was not afraid of death."

"No wonder he didn't look scared on his face after seeing the horrifying situation in the cave? It turned out that he was a person who had experienced life and death. Since he was not even afraid of death, how could he be afraid of ghosts?" Liu Ping thought so in her heart while continuing to listen to Zhou Youhao's story.

"But who knew that there was no way out. I floated to an uninhabited island along the waves. The island was very strange. The entire island was actually composed of two towering mountains. There was a trench between the two mountains, and the cliffs facing the trench were all very steep, as if they were split from the middle!" Zhou Youhao said this, a hint of fascination appeared between his eyebrows. It seemed that the strange island left a deep impression on him.

"What about it later?" Xu Yunde asked curiously.

Zhou Youhao said, "Although the island is uninhabited, there are traces. After I walked around the island, I found a huge stone tablet in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. The stone tablet was carved with strange characters. Although I didn't recognize any of them, I could still feel that those characters must be explaining something unusual. However, at that time, I was exhausted both physically and mentally, and I really had no intention of studying the characters on the stone tablet. I found a valley and rested for a long time. After my physical strength recovered, I went to the water to catch some fish and shrimps to fill my stomach. Then I began to think about what to do in the future. Judging from the appearance of the island, I knew that it was a place where very few people were involved. I lost my direction in the storm and didn't know where the land was, let alone how to cross the vast sea with myself?"

After hearing this story, Xu Yunde had already aroused the curiosity in his heart. He could not wait to ask: "Brother Zhou, then how did you come back in the end?"

Zhou Youhao said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, I lived on the island for nearly half a month, and I didn't even see a boat. Until the fifteenth day, I had already given up the thought of returning home. Unexpectedly, the wind direction turned on this day. It was always the east wind, but the south wind blew that day. What made me even more puzzled was that the south wind had just risen, and a gorgeous seven-color rainbow appeared at the top of the two cliffs on the island. The rainbow spanned two peaks, like a fairy bridge, which attracted reverie. In addition, on this day, a huge boat finally appeared on the sea, and the boat seemed to be coming to the island where I was. After seeing this, I was naturally overjoyed and thought I could finally go home."

At this time, Zhou Youhao's face also had a look of excitement, as if he had returned to the desperate situation ten years ago. But in a flash, he continued hesitantly: "But the ship was really weird. There was only one person in a huge sea boat, and he was the one who was responsible for the sailor and helmsman. What surprised me even more was that this person was actually an old man with white hair and beard! The old man's face was rosy, and he did not have the dark skin of the person who often went to the sea. At that time, I was only focused on it.

Thinking of going home soon, even what the island is called, he forgot to ask why he came here alone by boat. After getting on the boat, the old man said he had a destiny with me, gave me a knife, and taught me a set of sword techniques and some methods of practicing Qi and meditation. In addition, he also told me that I would have to go to that island sooner or later, and those who were walking with me would reveal the great secrets that were covered on the island. A few days later, the boat landed, and the old man asked me to get off the boat, and then he rode alone in the waves, not knowing where he was going."

At this moment, Liu Ping and others were all in deep thought, because through Zhou Youhao's description, they all felt that the situation of this island was so similar to the one they dreamed of in Yanggu two years ago! They were all two remote peaks, connected by a gorgeous rainbow bridge. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? In addition, the mysterious old man said that Zhou Youhao would definitely go to that island again in the future, and those who were traveling with him would unlock the secrets in the island. Is this implying something?

Seeing that everyone was silent for a moment, Zhou Youhao asked curiously: "A few people, isn't it a bit abrupt when I suddenly talked to everyone about my own affairs?"

Ma Sheng and Mu Qiuhen had only heard Wang Changgui's oral narration about the dreams of Liu Ping, Wang Changgui and Xu Yunde, and did not have a deep understanding of what he said. After listening to Zhou Youhao's narration, he was also a little surprised, but it was not as deep as Liu Ping and the other three.

Mu Qiuhen said, "Brother Zhou, where is this? Oh, by the way, I wonder if you have talked about this to others in ten years?"

Zhou Youhao nodded and said, "After I went back, I told my family and fellow villagers that they either didn't believe it, or they all said that I had met a god to save me, and they all advised me not to go into the sea in the future. In addition, I was attracted by a relative, so I changed career and started to rob the tomb."

Wang Changgui said slowly, "Brother Zhou, if you ask you to go to that island again, can you still remember the route?"

Zhou Youhao shook his head and said, "I can't remember it. When I came back, the old man not only did not use a compass, but he didn't even touch the rudder. I asked him, he didn't say anything. The whole ship was like a teenager and started to go into the sea, but this was the first time I saw him who drove like this! But somehow, when I was with the old man, I always felt that everything seemed extremely ordinary, and I didn't feel bizarre until I thought about it later."

Liu Ping nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, and then said, "Brother Zhou, why do you tell us what happened ten years ago? Do you think we are the ones who will go to the strange island with you and unravel the secret of the sky?"

Zhou Youhao nodded and said, "To be honest, I don't know why. Since the valley came, the words that the old man said to me back then have emerged one after another. Although I am not a practitioner of Taoism, I also believe in the word "fate". In addition, your conversations with the ancient demon god always make me feel that the secret hidden in that strange island is related to what you said, so I can't help but want to tell you the matter."

After hearing this, Wang Changgui thought about it for a while and said to Zhou Youhao: "Brother Zhou, if we really want to invite you to find the pirate together, would you like?"

When Zhou Youhao heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, but then nodded firmly and said, "Of course I would like to, ten years ago, all my brothers died on the sea, and I was the only one who survived. That island always gave me a strange feeling, as if something was calling me, and in addition, I also felt that the storm that overturned our ship, as if there was something to do with that strange island... I just wanted to untie the doubts that had been pressed on my chest for ten years, so as to give me an explanation to those brothers who died in the storm."

After hearing this, Xu Yunde praised Zhou Youhao even more, and then said, "Brother Zhou, we don't know where the island is on the sea. If we just search for it aimlessly, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Besides, if the storm that swept your fishing boat into the sea really is related to that island, then the danger of our trip will be self-evident. Maybe we may even lose our lives. Aren't you afraid..."
