My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 59
Tongling Island is a long island. From a distance, it is forty or fifty miles long.

When Jiang Yuan arrived at Tong Ling Island, he saw many Aolai ships wandering around the island.

When the boat saw them, they ran away in a hurry, but Jiang Yuan didn't care, and signaled the giant whale to swim to the shore of the island.

A group of turtle spirits holding weapons and shells on their backs came out of the water, stopped in front and shouted:
"Spiritual Island is temporarily closed and does not accept foreign guests!"

Jiang Yuan walked to the head of the giant whale, looked in the direction of the island, and asked the turtle demon blocking the way: "When will Guidao reopen?"

Turtle Jing's captain floated most of his body out of the sea, followed the ups and downs of the water waves, and politely replied: "We don't know, it depends on when the master will finish his work."

Jiang Yuan frowned.

This is not going to visit a friend in the city. If the friend is not there, you can find an inn to rest for a while. This is on the vast sea, so why wait?
Let's go to Aolai country to rest and recuperate first, there is no guarantee, next time you come, if it is still closed, it will be a waste of time.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, then bowed his hands to the turtle demon in front of him, and asked, "I wonder if there is Jiusuihe in Guidao?"

Captain Guijing tilted his neck and shook his head and said, "I've never heard of Jiusuihe, you guys should leave quickly, we will continue to patrol."

Not being able to get useful information, Jiang Yuan was not reconciled, and said:

"I came here from Huaguo Mountain just to inquire about Jiusuihe, can you be accommodating and let me meet the owner of Guidao?"

Captain Turtle Jing blinked in surprise: "Are you from Huaguo Mountain?"

It seems that it has to rely on Monkey King's face again, Jiang Yuan replied vaguely: "I have just participated in the 'Fairy Cocktail Party' of the Great Sage."

"Great Sage? Monkey King has returned from the sky?"

The turtle spirits all exclaimed.

After the captain of the tortoise spirit was shocked, he began to seriously look at the visitor in front of him.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's elegant demeanor and extraordinary demeanor, the rat demon sitting on Jiang Yuan's shoulder is shining like a spirit beast.

The gray donkey just had a psychic, and it was ordinary, but Captain Turtle took a few extra glances at the giant whale.

The bigger the body, the harder it is to become a refined demon. Such a giant beast with a spirit is indeed rare.

After pondering for a while, Captain Guijing respectfully replied to Jiang Yuan:
"Since you are a nobleman from Huaguo Mountain, I can go and inform the master."

Jiang Yuan immediately said happily: "It's time to work."

Captain Turtle Essence instructed his subordinates, then swished into the water, showed his head again, it was the beach in the distance, and then ran towards the island with short legs.

Another boat came, but before it got close, another group of turtle spirits came out of the water to drive them away.

King Jin waited bored, turned his small eyes and jumped to the turtle spirit in the water, curiously asked: "Aren't you monsters, why so many humans come here?"

A green-shelled turtle looked at the golden rat demon, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "They come to our island to buy millet."

King Jin was full of disbelief: "Human beings are best at farming, how could they go all the way to the sea to find monsters to buy food?"

The green shell turtle immediately raised its neck and said proudly: "Our millet is not ordinary rice!"

King Jin asked: "What's so special about your millet? Could it be a spiritual thing?"

"Uh, that's not a spiritual thing."

The green-shell turtle spirit didn't seem to know much, he hesitated to explain clearly, turned to ask his companion for help, and the other turtle spirits pretended not to see it.

The Green Shell Turtle suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Our millet can only be exchanged for a bucket of ten gold!"

Jiang Yuan was surprised when he heard this.

Ten gold and one bucket, what is so magical about this millet?
But looking at it this way, the rumor that Tongling Island has the fairy grass millet flowing from Penglai may be true.

What is traded with others is definitely not the celestial grass millet, perhaps the offspring bred with the celestial grass.

Jiang Yuan had a flash of inspiration, could it be that the closure of the island was related to the fairy grass millet?
At this time, a mass of surging water vapor appeared in Jiang Yuan's field of vision, galloping from the island, reaching the surface of the sea in the blink of an eye, and falling down with a swish.

The moisture dissipated, revealing an old turtle on crutches.

The old tortoise's limbs had already turned into human hands and feet, and the head also had the outline of a human face.

But the neck is still covered with scales, and the thick and colorful tortoise shell has not changed at all.

However, she was dressed like a human being, or even more so.

A carefully tailored silk robe, embroidered with gold patterns of fish, insects and birds, inlaid with dense pearls and emeralds.

Strings of jade and agate hung on the long and curved neck, and the short and thick fingers were also rings and jade wrench fingers, full of them.

And the cane she was leaning on was even more gorgeous.

It seems to be polished from a whole plant of deep-sea blood coral, and the handle is a horn-shaped branch. Inside the exquisitely carved coral, there is still water flowing faintly.

The old tortoise stood on the surface of the water, the sun shone on its body, it was colorful and jeweled, almost blinding Jiang Yuan's eyes.

Jiang Yuan slightly turned his gaze to the side, avoiding the shining pearl, and couldn't help but secretly complain:

This isn't a monster, he's just a country rich nouveau riche.

The local tyrant and old tortoise didn't know what Jiang Yuan was complaining about, but he was very satisfied when he saw Jiang Yuan's dodging eyes, and even shook his body full of objects.

The crackling sound made Jiang Yuan secretly roll his eyes, and quickly said: "Your Excellency is the master of Tongling Island, I have seen the king in Xia Jiangyuan."

If he didn't speak again, he was afraid that the old turtle would show off endlessly.

The local tyrant old turtle waved his hand, and the ring on his hand flashed again:
"I'm not a demon king. I have a Taoist name called 'Guangshou Sanren'."

This name is also appropriate.

Jiang Yuan changed his tune and said, "I have seen scattered people".

Guangshou Sanren held his coral cane and said with a smile: "You guys said, the distinguished guest came from Huaguo Mountain and just went to the reception of the Great Sage?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "I went to Huaguo Mountain for some business, just as the Great Sage was returning home, and I was lucky enough to enjoy a few glasses of fairy wine."

"But the royal wine brought from Tiangong?"

After being affirmed by Jiang Yuan, Guangshou Sanren envied him immediately:
"I have heard that the immortal wine is delicious for a long time, but I have no chance to taste it. It is really a pity."

With a sour tone of jealousy, he looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Your Excellency is very lucky."

Jiang Yuan was uncomfortable being watched by the old turtle, and he didn't answer, and directly stated his purpose:

"I came here this time to ask for one thing. I don't know if there is Jiusuihe in Guidao?"

"That is the elixir of ten continents and three islands. How could it grow on my deserted island?"

Guangshou Sanren shook his head.

Jiang Yuan was immediately disappointed, he didn't expect the old turtle to say something else:
"I have an old friend who has raised a few plants. However, after leaving the fairyland of Shizhou and Three Islands, it is no longer called an elixir, but an ordinary spiritual thing."

According to Fang Ding's indication, there is no need for the level of undead medicine, just spiritual objects.

Jiang Yuan's mood changed, and he said anxiously, "Can you tell me where that expert is?"

Guangshou Sanren narrowed his eyes, shook his neck slightly, and stared at Jiang Yuan for a while.

Jiang Yuan realized that he had no relatives or reasons, so there was no such thing as helping each other in vain.

Immediately restraining his excitement, he said in a deep voice: "San Ren has an order, and to put it bluntly, if I can do it, I will definitely go all out."

"Haha, a distinguished guest must have extraordinary skills to eat the feast of the Great Sage."

Guangshou Sanren laughed and congratulated, but saw that Jiang Yuan's complexion was wrong, and he didn't show the slightest complacency, so he stopped laughing and asked, "Your Excellency, can you catch thieves?"

Jiang originally wanted to say that he is not a wandering official, so how could he catch robbers.

However, after thinking about it, he made a guess, pointed to the direction of the island, and asked tentatively: "Did your mansion encounter bandits, and that's why the island was sealed off?"

Guangshou Sanren's eyes lit up, he straightened his neck and said, "Your Excellency has such a keen mind, it seems that we have found the right person."

You are rushing to the doctor in a hurry!

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to stop Old Gui from continuing to compliment, and shook his head, "I'm just guessing, I won't catch robbers."

"Besides,"

Jiang Yuan looked at the old tortoise's body, which was mostly transformed, and resolutely refused:

"Your cultivation base is much higher than this one, and I heard that there is a fellow sheep Taoist in your residence. What is the use of the bandits that you two can't do anything about?"

Guangshou Sanren sighed and said, "Let me tell you the truth, that bandit, no, that damned little thief, is actually no higher than me in cultivation, but his methods are very cunning and hard to fathom."

Jiang Yuan smiled wryly, "That's even worse."

Guangshou Sanren suddenly raised his voice: "Your Excellency can definitely!"
