Chapter 259: A Well-Known Secret
After eating someone else's food, they didn't charge the money, and the captain came to chat with him, and Xia Xiao couldn't refuse. In the past, Ah Candle didn't want to practice, because he was too tired, and now he wanted to concentrate on cultivation, but he couldn't stay away from Xia Xiao for an accident, so he followed him and accompanied him to chat with the captain.
This long-haired man, like most southerners, has a gentle air in his gestures. But he didn't choose to tie his hair, which made Ah Candle look uncomfortable, grandma has said since she was a child, it doesn't matter if your clothes are broken and torn, and it doesn't matter if your hair is longer and shorter, but you have to be neat, you have to look comfortable, and you have to clean yourself up. So even if this man is a little handsome, he is more like a ruffian in Ah Candle's eyes. Of all the men with loose hair, Ah Candle only likes sentences.
Picking up a cup of tea, Ah Candle pouted her eyes and looked at Xia Xiao and the captain, feeling bored, she couldn't insert her mouth at all.
"Little brother, you must have learned martial arts for many years, right?"
"Two or three years. ”
"Two or three years to get to this point?"
Xia Xiao nodded, but the captain didn't believe it. This kind of thing is difficult for ordinary people to understand, Xia Xiao did not make up a new version. If it weren't for his personal experience, I'm afraid I wouldn't have understood why he could improve his strength so quickly in such a short period of time. He attributed everything to the talent of the latter and the identity of the person who came from afar, but in the eyes of outsiders, there was only consternation.
Not to mention the entire Southern Kingdom, even if it is the strongest Southern Merchant today, cultivators who have entered the Venerable Realm can directly enjoy the care of the state. At a young age, he has entered the ranks of the real strong, Zhimao can have a great status as a general, and the realm of fruit is even more amazing, and he will not shoot easily, and he can call for wind and rain in China. And the curl and the towering sky are almost absent in the imperial power. It can be seen that Xia Xiao's strength can no longer be underestimated.
"Little brother, I'm really ashamed that you have such cultivation at such a young age. ”
"The matter of cultivation lies in the talent of hard work, and it cannot be decided unilaterally, and the captain must not do this. ”
The captain naturally understands these truths, and he can be taught by Xia Xiao, which is extremely natural. It seems that the latter's old-fashioned style is not a disguise, but from the bottom of the heart.
"I heard that the little brother is looking for relatives, even if they are all by the sea, have you ever heard of the Dragon Palace Fortress in the East China Sea?"
"I haven't heard of it, can the captain tell me?"
Ah Candle looked at Xia Xiao with a faint expression as if he was unhappy. She knew that he had started to lie again, the Dragon Palace was their destination, how could he not know? But wasn't that Dragon Palace an extremely mysterious place? Even the academy only gave a general area, and the range was more than a hundred times larger than Yu Gu, but this captain seemed to know everything about it.
"It's a secret, but now it's well known, and there's no harm in telling it. But the little brother still don't participate, so as not to make things difficult for you because you are a foreigner. ”
Although Xia Xiao nodded, he would definitely go when the time came, not to mention a few words from the captain, even if Hu didn't return to his predecessors, he would not give up immediately.
"This dragon palace is a city built on the bottom of the sea, rumored to be a forsaken country, and there are special hieroglyphs in it, which record a vague understanding of the land. But after being vigorously investigated by humans, it disappeared inexplicably and disappeared somewhere. For hundreds of years, countless people have been searching for its whereabouts, hoping to investigate it further. Now, at last, there is a rough whereabouts. ”
"Is it an ocean?"
"Yes! Scholars have found that no matter how it disappears, it will reverberate in a sea area, so this time there are a hundred sea ships, and they will start searching from a sea area. ”
"What's in there?"
"Why do you ask that, little brother?"
"If you don't have treasures, how can you attract tens of thousands of people and hundreds of ships. Although the people of the southern country are said to have a warm temperament like water, they are also human beings, since they are human beings, they have desires, and they will weigh the pros and cons, otherwise they will not invest so much in vain. ”
The captain let out a long sigh, thinking that this little brother was really smart, and seemed to be young, but he was mature in his thoughts, and even a little sleek.
"If the captain finds it inconvenient, he will not say anything. ”
"Nothing inconvenient, it's all well known. It is rumored that in the forsaken country, there are treasures that can buy a country, as well as rare spiritual weapons in the world. ”
"No wonder it attracts so many people. ”
Ah Candle asked:
"Captain, aren't you going to try it? I've heard that spirit weapons are rare. ”
"I'm not going, I don't have that idea. ”
The captain smiled calmly, naturally he also knew the word desire, but he didn't want to fight. He just needs to guard this river, and the people on it come and go, which is what he wants to do the most. When he reached the sea, he lost any of his current name. In the final analysis, he is the kind of person who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and it is difficult to rush to him!
Even if he said a lot today, Xia Xiao would not say the wrong thing, and Ah Candle interjected occasionally, but he didn't expose anything. In this way, after waiting for a long time, the captain felt bored and asked Xia Xiao and Ah Candle to go back to rest. With the help of this rainstorm, they will be able to reach the beach tomorrow night.
Xia Xiao and Ah Candle walked on the deck and met many people, many of whom were cultivators. These guys have extreme caution in their eyes, as if whoever will stop them will be understood by them on the way to the Dragon Palace. It seems that people of any country will be like this, in the face of interests, the temperament cultivated since childhood is nonsense.
Today is still cloudy, the river is gray, and Ah Candle has become the sun. Maybe it's Xia Xiao's foil, Ah Candle is lively like an elf beside him. But to be too lively is to be reckless, Ah Candle turned around and bumped into a burly man. When the man walked out of the cabin, he was bent over, but he could imagine that he was strong. Seeing that she was scared, Ah Candle even said sorry, but the man didn't appreciate it.
"Just apologize and you're done?"
"And what do you want?"
Ah Candle is unreasonable, but he is still rude, such a big man, he will not lose a piece of meat if he is hit by himself, he is really stingy. But when the man stepped forward, Ah Candle took two steps back, she was afraid that this man would use his chest muscles to pop his head, he was really too strong. Such a big guy, will he break the night pot at night?
Hey~
"At least some silver, right?"
Touching the small pocket, Ah Candle only had two copper plates, and he couldn't take them out at all. At this time, she could only look at Xia Xiao behind her, she didn't have any relatives and friends by her side now, she had to rely on him. Although Xia Xiao said that he was usually fierce, he would not care about it at this time, and threw out a few pieces of silver, Xia Xiao said coldly:
"Get out of the way!"
The man who received the silver just felt happy, but when Xia Xiao said this, he suddenly felt that he had lost face, and he shouted when he mentioned it, and the swear words and bad words were also sprayed out, which was more stinky than a manure tank. Xia Xiao raised his head, his eyes were sharp, like a bright and flickering Pu knife.
So handsome!
Ah Candle's eyes were shining, this was the first time she felt that Xia Xiao was so domineering, and her favorability doubled. Compared with those who didn't want to cause trouble, Xia Xiao was much tougher, and he punched the man in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.
Although Xia Xiao didn't want to make trouble, but he had compromised, but this man still greeted his parents, how could he bear it? If he faced all the big and small things like this, wouldn't he want to suffocate to death?
Hearing that the man was still calling, Xia Xiao pinched his neck and jumped onto the deck mast, making it hang in the air with the river under his feet. This action immediately attracted many people, and the captain also came, and when he saw this, he hurriedly persuaded and explained. Xia Xiao can even beat the mud dragon, is he still afraid of them?
In the end, the burly man apologized, and Xia Xiao accepted it, leaving only a sentence to keep his mouth clean.
Some people asked the captain the name of the little brother, but the captain just shook his head, he felt that Fang Huan's name was just a pseudonym, so it was okay not to mention it. And the people on this boat were only passers-by, and when they got to the sea, they had to go their separate ways, so he didn't make a big deal about it. The most important thing is that he is afraid of Xia Xiao's strength and background.
Whenever a genius comes to the world, everyone will feel that he has a terrifying background, after all, only with a high starting point can he go fast. But even if Xia Xiao exposed everything about himself, it would only disappoint them, he was a star, not a celestial pride.
Because of Xia Xiao's shot, Ah Candle was grateful, and even prepared the water for Xia Xiao to wash his feet tonight.
"Thank you. ”
"It's rare to see you so serious. ”
"People want to be grateful to you. ”
"Then don't talk, practice quietly and sleep. ”
If it was usual, Ah Candle would definitely scare Xia Xiao, so she didn't listen to him, but tonight, she said yes, and she quieted down.
Xia Xiao practiced quietly for two hours, then read the book, and when he went to sleep, he felt that what he lacked was not quiet, but Shu Shuang. Because no matter how quiet the surroundings are, there is no comfort and joy in his heart, but he becomes depressed and lonely.
Hugging the quilt tightly, Xia Xiao couldn't smell the faint fragrance he wanted to smell, but there was the first thing Ah Candle said tonight in his ears.
"Good night. ”
Xia Xiao didn't answer, just closed his eyes and began to torture himself. He rarely couldn't sleep, but every time he woke up, he would get up all night. That feeling is not much better than insomnia.
