Chapter 237 Penglai Seeking Immortals
After seeing the island, Zhang Jiao and his team put aside their previous thoughts of returning to the island, and hurriedly headed towards the island. They were also lucky. Thanks to the efforts of the sailors, several ships arrived soon. shoal.

In order to prevent running aground, the sailors anchored directly 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 pretentiousness. Everyone jumped off the boat, I was ecstatic and laughed.

"Wait a minute, gentlemen, don't disturb the gods here!" Zhang Jiao frowned and yelled. After discovering the island, everyone also vaguely respected Zhang Jiao. The Han people respect ghosts and gods more, and the sailors quickly stopped talking , followed behind Zhang Jiao respectfully.

Zhang Jiao looked at the ground under his feet piously, took a deep breath, and walked forward slowly, every step he took, he had to read some scriptures to show his piety.

On such a slow journey, they walked into the interior of the island. The island was no different from the small islands around the big man. There were no cranes and dragons here, and there was no Jianmu Cangwu. There was nothing here.

It was very normal, some wild rabbits bounced past the sailors, not afraid of these people at all, in Zhang Jiao's view, this was a miracle, but the sailors gradually became noisy again.

"Hey, if the emperor can come here, he must be excited. The emperor loves to shoot hares!"

A sailor yelled.

"Nonsense, how did the Son of Heaven hunt? How did you know that?"

"I once joined the general to conquer the mountain people and was fortunate to guard the hunting ceremony. At that time, I heard people say that the emperor shot and killed hundreds of rabbits in one day!"

Everyone was noisy, but Zhang Jiao was a little displeased. He frowned, coughed, and everyone calmed down. They followed Zhang Jiao 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 where there are people. There are many ferocious beasts. Hundreds of people encountered several ferocious beasts one after another and were killed by them. At dusk, they refused to leave.

No matter what Zhang Jiao tried to persuade them, they didn't leave. In desperation, they could only camp here. They hunted some hares and lit a bonfire. They hadn't tasted meat for a long time, and they enjoyed it. After eating, the atmosphere instantly became hot, and everyone laughed while eating, unbearably vulgar.

Zhang Jiao sat in the distance without saying a word. The leading sailor walked up to him and handed him a rabbit leg with a smile. Looking at him, he said: "Thank you, sir. In order to find the immortal and get back the elixir for His Majesty, I will fast for three days to show my piety."

The man was stunned, and said with a grin: "We set out from Qingzhou. You have never asked us our names, and you don't want to talk. Now you don't even accept meat, but you look down on us?"

Zhang Jiao shook his head, and said: "Don't dare, dare not do that, I just want to seek immortality. Alas~" He raised his head, but the rabbit's leg in the man's hand was still stretched towards him, and he didn't put it down.

Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand and took the rabbit's leg, without saying a word, the man said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I have to go on my way tomorrow. If I fast, wouldn't it be a waste of time to search for immortals~hahaha~"

The man laughed and turned around to leave. At this moment, Zhang Jiao felt that this man was extraordinary. He stood up and called out, "I don't know your name?"

"My name is Taishici, named Ziyi, 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, Zhang Jun, it's not because of my deep love, but when I waited to go, the benefactor gave me a lot of explanations, so that I can take care of you and be trusted by others." He said, sitting next to Zhang Jiao, and borrowed From the light of the bonfire, Zhang Jiao could see that this was a tall and strong man.

His face was resolute, his brows were like swords, and Han people valued appearance. Seeing this man's appearance, Zhang Jiao also became close to him, and told Tai Shici what he had been ordered by the emperor, but Tai Shici didn't seem to care about these things. Not interested, even here, he has no respect for the gods.

He said: "Mr. Zhang, you are the leader of the crowd, you should get closer to the sailors, talk more, and impress them with your noble morals."

"But during these times, you stay behind closed doors. You are alone for a long time, and you don't talk to us. You don't even want to eat meat with us. If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause chaos."

"If Mr. Zhang intends to take us back to search for immortals, he must love his soldiers and unite as one. This is why I am chatting with you today." Tai Shici finished speaking slowly, got up, and bowed to Zhang Jiao , and left.

When the canal began to be built, he was transferred to be an official. Before that, he was under Wenren's attack, and then Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo saw him as brave and handsome, so he reused him. From a young age, he became Dong Zhuo's confidant.

Dong Zhuo is also a handsome talent. Facing Tai Shici who came from a poor background, he has no prejudice and loves him very much. Finally, after getting the emperor's order, Dong Zhuo sent Tai Shici to lead a large number of people in order to get some credit for this matter. Help Zhang Jiao.

He doesn't believe in searching for immortals. This island is just an uninhabited desert island. His purpose is to fulfill Dong Zhuo's entrustment. At this moment, Zhang Jiao got up and sat down beside these soldiers slowly. The soldiers who were laughing and shouting suddenly stopped, and the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Zhang Jiao said with a smile: "Why? Don't you want to give me some meat?"

"Hahaha~" Then everyone burst into laughter, and someone joked: "I'm not a celebrity, so I'm willing to give up some meat!"

Zhang Jiao sat with them, laughed and ate, and the atmosphere returned to normal. Tai Shici sat opposite Zhang Jiao with some surprise, and looked straight at him. This man was not a pure liar, but With a good tongue, Zhang Jiao became extremely talkative in an instant, which made Tai Shici unbelievable.

On the second day, Zhang Jiao seemed to be a completely different person, chatting and laughing with these soldiers and marched towards the depths of the island. The sailors composed of these soldiers stopped complaining and began to concentrate on exploring the surroundings. I am very happy, and I am very grateful to Tai Shici for his guidance.

Unexpectedly, under the careful search of these soldiers, they found something around them. They found a few remnants of bonfires. At least, this showed that they were not the only living people on this island, which made Zhang Jiao very excited. , He ordered the soldiers to call Xu Xian's name while walking, among many sailors, only Tai Shici did not speak.

The people 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 and several kinds of livestock that they had never seen before.

It's just that I haven't seen any immortals for a long time, and the fleet that has just cheered up has turned decadent again at this moment.
