The whole Qianlong Island is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the seaside is full of dangerous shoals, the strange rocks are craggy under the surging water, and the only pier on the island is just on the north side of the island, in a relatively leeward angle between the two steep peaks that extend into the sea, the terrain is quite steep.
The waterway of the passenger ship entering the wharf is meandering, and on the mountains on both sides of the waterway, I don't know whether it is due to weathering or rain erosion, or even because of the special geological composition, there are many large and small karst caves, some of which are half immersed in the seawater, and with the lapping of the waves, there will be some strange echoes in those caves, like the roar of some monster, which sounds inexplicably chilling.
After the passenger ship traveled about five or six hundred meters in the narrow and winding waterway, Zhang Tie felt that the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and he saw a small pier and some man-made buildings on Qianlong Island, which were only more than 100 meters long.
After the boat docked at the dock, everyone began to go ashore, Zhang Tie stayed at the end slowly, and after the people on the boat were almost gone, two sixteen or seventeen-year-old young men in black smart and energetic suits came to the deck of the passenger ship and three other men in other variegated clothes.
"It's him" As soon as these people came, one of those people in variegated clothes pointed to the corpse on the deck and shouted, "It was he who killed my eldest brother and uncle, and snatched the centipede beads that the two of them dug out from the hundred-legged centipede", this person said, he couldn't help crying, and finally couldn't help but take out the long knife on his body, slashed at the corpse's body fiercely, and slashed frantically several times, "Big brother, uncle, you died so miserably, I will use the head of this wicked man to pay tribute to you" "The centipede has been handed over to you, and this person's body is also here, and the corpse will be disposed of by you, whether it is broken bones and ashes or eaten alive or flayed alive."
"On behalf of me, the 659 people of Majiazhuang, Qingshan County, thank you Huaiyuan and Zhang's Gaoyi," an old man among the other people endured his grief and saluted the two teenagers with a deep fist.
"People can't be resurrected after death, and a few people should mourn and change" The men in variegated costumes thanked the two teenagers in grief and indignation, and then carried the corpse directly off the boat.
Zhang Tie, who had been staying at the end slowly, saw this scene and already had a rough guess about the identities of the two teenagers, these two teenagers, even if they were not from Qianlong Hall, were at least the people of the Zhang family on the island.
"Please go slowly, two" Just as the two teenagers had just walked up to the dock, Zhang Tie stopped them.
"What's the matter" The two teenagers turned around and looked at Zhang Tie who suddenly appeared.
"I'd like to ask you all about how to get to Qianlong Hall."
"You're going to Qianlong Hall" One of the two teenagers heard that Zhang Tie was going to Qianlong Hall, and looked at Zhang Tie seriously from head to toe.
"Yes, I'm going to Qianlong Hall," Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"What are you going to do in Qianlong Hall?"
"Go Report" "Show me your family card" Zhang Tie took out the family card on his body and handed it to the two teenagers, who looked at each other carefully and nodded.
"Your name is Zhang Tie," one of the teenagers returned the family card to Zhang Tie.
"Yes" "My name is Xu Lang, his name is Zhang Houyu, and both of us are from Qianlong Hall" Xu Lang's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, Xu Lang said this, and looked at the young man named Zhang Houyu next to him, "Do you send him to Qianlong Hall or I send him there" "Hehe, since they are all surnamed Zhang, then I will send him to you to continue patrolling the island, and where will we meet in Black Dragon Town after I send him to Qianlong Hall."
The young man named Zhang Houyu said.
"Good" "Come with me" Zhang Houyu greeted Zhang Tie, turned around and left, Zhang Tie naturally left the dock with him, the young man named Xu Lang said hello to the two people after leaving the dock, and then walked from another way.
There is a small street on this side of the wharf, there are several buildings on both sides of the street, Zhang Tie took a look, those buildings have warehouses, hostels, a fish market, and two shops that don't know what to sell, there is even a restaurant here, most of the people who have just come off the boat have poured into the restaurant, and they have been on the boat for four or five hours.
Zhang Tie's stomach was also a little gurgling, but at this moment, seeing that others were leading the way for him, he was embarrassed to let the family wait for him to finish eating before leaving.
"Do you want to eat something first" Zhang Tie didn't speak, but Zhang Houyu asked very understandingly, "If you want to eat, at least eat less, there are about twenty miles away from Qianlong Hall here, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up if you eat too much."
"It's okay, then it's the same when you go to Qianlong Hall and eat again" "Okay, then let's follow, let's run, this is faster" Zhang Houyu ran up after saying this, and Zhang Tie hurriedly ran to follow.
Thinking of the Xu Lang he had just met, a question popped up in Zhang Tie's heart, and he asked Zhang Houyu while running, "Does Qianlong Hall also recruit children with foreign surnames?"
"In addition to the Zhang family's lineage, if anyone in the relatives of the Zhang family in Huaiyuan County awakens the ancestral bloodline, they can also enter the Qianlong Hall, you just came to the Qianlong Hall, you must remember the first rule of the Qianlong Hall, that is, you must not ask others at will what the ancestral bloodline is awakened, awaken a few times, and do not reveal to others what the awakened family bloodline is, this information may seem important now, but it is a very important family secret, and there may be some people who know the ancestral bloodline awakened for the first time, But no matter what kind of ability the ancestral bloodline awakens after the second time, the less people know about it, the better, this is your hole card, and it may be able to save your life at some point in the future" Zhang Houyu said as he watched Zhang Tie be able to keep up with him, and slowly sped up a little.
"The ancestral bloodline can be awakened for the second time", Zhang Tie really heard it for the first time, and he was slightly surprised, he thought that one person could awaken once.
"Of course, there is no upper limit on the number of times you can awaken the ancestral bloodline, different ancestral bloodlines will allow you to have different specialties and talents, as for how many times you awaken, it completely depends on your ability and chance, many bloodlines that have awakened once can also be awakened twice, three, or even more times to complete the advancement and strengthening of the same ancestral bloodline" Zhang Tie sighed slightly in his heart, sure enough, it was Qianlong Hall, he had just come here, and he had given himself two surprises, once on the passenger ship, and once here, I didn't know what the ancestral bloodline of the spear throwing would advance into after awakening again.
This question, just thinking about it casually, made Zhang Tie's heart burn hot, and he had more hope for the future.
After leaving the dock, the two of them ran up on the mountain path, the speed was getting faster and faster, at the beginning, Zhang Houyu also wanted to take care of Zhang Tie, deliberately slowed down some pace, and after the arrival, he saw Zhang Tie running and chatting with him easily, Zhang Houyu slowly accelerated, but no matter how he accelerated, Zhang Tie followed his pace unhurriedly, calmly, Zhang Houyu was surprised at the same time, but also gave birth to the young man's desire to win, and slowly used all his strength.
Zhang Tie didn't feel that the young man who led him the way was already sweating on his forehead, for him who had eaten nine wild wolf seven power fruits, he only felt that this speed was very easy, it could only be regarded as a trot, but compared with his current "cruising speed", there seemed to be a little gap, if he wanted, he would have no problem running at this speed for a day.
After running five kilometers and climbing over a mountain, Zhang Tie also unexpectedly found that there was a very large town on Qianlong Island, which was in a small basin on the island, surrounded by mountains and forests, and the prosperity of that town seemed to be no worse than that of a town on land.
The two men ran over the hillside to the east of town.
"Ah, I didn't expect there to be a town of this size on Qianlong Island," Zhang Tie naturally sighed.
Hearing Zhang Tie's emotion, Zhang Houyu, who had been running with his head down, almost let out in one breath, at this time he couldn't speak so freely, but he didn't expect Zhang Tie to not even gasp twice when he spoke.
"This is Bailong Town, there are a total of five towns on Qianlong Island, in addition to Bailong Town, there are Qinglong Town, Huanglong Town, Black Dragon Town, and Blue Dragon Town," Zhang Houyu, who gritted his teeth, said as he ran, intermittently, and the oncoming wind poured into his mouth when he spoke, almost choking him and coughing.
At this moment, Zhang Houyu had already decided in his heart that Zhang Tie's awakened ancestral bloodline must be related to his running ability, otherwise, he really couldn't think of how a teenager who looked a year or two younger than him could have such amazing endurance and running ability.
After running vigorously for less than half an hour, Qianlong Hall finally arrived, which was built on a fortress group with dangerous terrain but beautiful scenery, three castles were built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the middle of the castle was connected by various mountain villas and pavilion buildings hidden in the jungle, which was magnificent and magnificent.
Just looking at these buildings in front of him, Zhang Tie knew that the wealth of Huaiyuantang was really not blown.
A more than 20-meter-high archway hanging with three big characters of "Qianlong Hall" stands in front of Zhang Tie, and below the archway, are two huge and majestic stone lions.
"This is the Qianlong Hall, after you go in, someone will naturally greet you" After saying this, before Zhang Tie thanked him, Zhang Houyu had already left.
Zhang Tie scratched his head, slightly feeling that Zhang Houyu's attitude was a little strange, what he didn't know was that this "senior" who brought him to the "Qianlong Hall" had been ashamed of Zhang Tie's foot strength on the way.
When I arrived at my destination, I quickly slipped away.
Zhang Tie, who took a deep breath, touched the family card he was carrying, crossed the archway, and walked to the first castle at the foot of the mountain.
After Zhang Tie took out the family card and explained his intentions clearly, the young man took Zhang Tie to the castle.
A few minutes later "Zhang Tie, age fifteen, level five soldiers, the first awakening of the ancestral bloodline, the first time to enter the Qianlong Hall, this is the key to your room, the seventy-third number of Xingzhiyuan, this is the map of Qianlong Island, you can go to the Zhixing Academy today to report, before you leave, you can confirm again, whether the money and things you brought with you have been handed over, your money and things have been registered, there are a total of 8 gold coins and 13 silver coins, which will be returned to you when you leave the Qianlong Hall, if you are found to have hidden money and belongings, even if it is a copper plate, the punishment will be very serious" An old man with a goatee, in his 60s, who looked a little obscene, stood behind a high counter like the shopkeeper of a pawnshop, and raised his head to explain to Zhang Tie seriously while pushing the keys, maps and other things in front of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie didn't expect that the first step in coming to Qianlong Hall to report would be to hand over all the money and belongings on his body, in addition to these on his body, there were also 5,000 gold coins in cash and 5,000 gold coins in the Black Iron Castle, this was the spare money that Zhang Tie left for himself, and the remaining money from the auction of the Vitality Ring at the auction, after he went to Black Flame City and gave some of it to his brother, now there is only so much left.
"Can I ask if there is no need for money in Qianlong Island and Qianlong Hall, why do you want to hand over all my belongings?"
"Of course, Qianlong Island and Qianlong Hall need to use money, and it will be used more, there is no place in this world that does not cost money, but for those of us who join the Qianlong Hall, every copper plate money spent on Qianlong Island and Qianlong Hall must be earned on the island, not brought from home" This voice came from behind Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie turned his head, and saw four teenagers of his age walking in with a wire sack on their backs.
The four teenagers were only wearing a simple coarse cloth vest, all sweating profusely, and it seemed that the things on their backs were very heavy, the relatively tall teenager who walked in the front was better, and the skin on the faces and arms of the three teenagers walking behind was sunburned like dry bark and cracked one by one, Zhang Tie could vaguely imagine their previous appearance of fine skin and tender flesh.
The foreheads of several teenagers were sweating too much, and each of them condensed some fine white salt grains, and the sweat soaked in the sun-cracked skin, making the corners of several people's eyes twitch involuntarily.
As soon as a few people approached a little, Zhang Tie seemed to be able to smell the smell of the sea on several people, Zhang Tie looked at it, and several teenagers had some subtle wounds on their hands and arms, just like this, if it hadn't appeared here, if he saw such a few people in other places at once, Zhang Tie absolutely suspected that someone was abusing slave labor.
"New here" The young man who walked in front asked Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded.
"Then come with us, we are also from Zhixingyuan," said the young man who took the lead.
"Hahahaha, welcome to Qianlong Hall" Another young man with a tanned face like a pot seemed to want to laugh when he saw Zhang Tie's stunned appearance, but only a smile appeared on his face, so he suffocated the cold air and forced the smile back This Qianlong Hall seems to be a little different from what I imagined
