Chapter 149: Okay
"Weishui is ahead! After Weishui, we will enter the territory of Dachu!"
A few days later, in the restaurant of Sanlong City, Sun Daren pointed to the river rushing outside the city and shouted to everyone.
Sanlong City is located at the junction of Ningchu, where the Daquan River of Qi, the Wupan River of Yan, and the Baining River of Guirong all join Weishui. It is like the convergence of three water dragons, so the Three Dragons City is named after it.
"The Weishui is vast, and the old dragon king is known as the god king of the north, and the water gods under his seat do not know the geometry, which can be described as the lord of the north. β
"But Rao is like this, and he still has to pay tribute to my Great Chu. Last year, he also sent me a few purple jade beads, which were called priceless treasures, but in fact, they were nothing more than that. Li Chenghuang on the side sat upright, poured himself a cup of tea, and said slowly.
Ji Huanxi yawned, sleepy-eyed.
In the past few days, she followed Wei Lai and his party on the road, but she always slept unsteadily.
From time to time, I would dream of some strange scenesβin the deep tent, she knelt down in front of a woman, who was extremely beautiful, seemed to be Jin Yun'er, and did not seem to be.
She wept and begged the woman to let her go, to leave her something.
Then the picture flashed, and she seemed to have come to Gutong City, Yin Dragon, Tong Forest, and stubborn and stubborn teenagers.
It was as if he had arrived in Ningxiao City, his eyes were full of surging corpses, the young man flew away and swore to fight to the death, and the old lion held his head high and went to his death.
She had clearly never experienced any of this, but the blurred images gave her an immersive and strange feeling.
She began to wonder if Wei Lai had been tampered with or if she had forgotten something.
And such suspicions, in the end, have to point to the queen mother.
This is an extremely intolerable thing for Ji Huanxi, how can she doubt Niangniang......
So she often tosses and turns at night, and can't sleep all night.
She yawned again, and didn't pay any attention to Li Chenghuang's "showing off".
Li Chenghuang obviously regarded Ji Huanxi's performance as a counterattack, her hand holding the teacup was a little harder, and she squinted at Ji Huanxi, her eyes were not good.
Sun Daren smelled the strange atmosphere, and saw that Wei Lai was just drinking tea alone, and he didn't care about the jealousy between the two women. Sun Daren saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic at that time: "By the way, as early as a few days ago, when we seemed to be still in Wupan City, we heard that the Laoshizi Weishui Dragon King was going to die, why has it been more than a year since then, so the Weishui Dragon King is still alive and well?"
Li Chenghuang also recovered from her previous dissatisfaction when she heard this, and just found an opportunity to show her vision, so she rarely took care of Sun Daren patiently, and said: "As we all know, the way of cultivation is holy. β
"Once you open the Eighth Divine Gate, it means that you have entered the realm of the Great Sage. β
"The monks of this realm have a long lifespan. And the Weishui Dragon King is a desolate alien species left over from ancient times, and he already has a lifespan that is difficult for mortals to reach, and after arriving at the Holy Realm, he has a long lifespan. β
"But there is no such thing as a truly eternal thing, and perhaps only the supreme power of the Eastern Realm can do that. β
"The news of the old dragon king's imminent death has also been spreading in the north for many years, and the world can't figure out what the situation is. However, according to my imperial brother's speculation, the old dragon king is about to die, but perhaps he has not found a successor who can take over the throne of the Weishui God King, so he has been holding on to his body and refusing to pass away for a long time. β
Sun Daren originally asked casually, but when he heard Li Chenghuang's answer, he couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable.
"Can this be?"
"Then if he doesn't want to die all the time, then can't he never die? What kind of successor do you need?
As soon as these words came out, they attracted a roll of Li Chenghuang's eyes.
"There is no price in this world, even if he is a desolate alien species, it is impossible to live forever. For him, there are only two paths to take, one is to push open the ninth divine gate to prolong his life. β
"But although there is only one door between the Eighth Divine Gate and the Ninth Divine Gate, the degree of difficulty in it is exceeded, and the difficulty of pushing through the first eight Divine Gates is a hundred times and a thousand times greater. In fact, throughout the history of the Northern Realm, there has been almost no one who can push through the Ninth Divine Gate with his own skills. β
"Even for that old dragon king, pushing open the ninth divine gate is an almost impossible thing to complete, so there is only one last path left in front of him-"
"Using one's own soul to forcibly support one's own body to walk in the world, although this practice can temporarily allow the dying person to stay in the world, but the price is extremely heavy. It consumes the caster's soul all the time, and such depletion is almost irreversible. β
"You must know that as the lord of the Weishui Divine Kingdom, even if he dies, his Yin Soul can also enjoy the luck of this Weishui Divine Kingdom as a Yin God, and the consequences of consuming the power of the Divine Soul in this way are likely to make it difficult for the Yin Soul of this old dragon king to condense the Yin God ...... after his death."
Where did he think that Sun Daren, who still had such a relationship, couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and he muttered to himself in a strange tone: "In this case, wouldn't it be good to find a successor at random, why bother to lose yourself?"
When these words came out, Li Chenghuang immediately rolled her eyes, and she asked rhetorically, "What about your state pastor?"
"What has the dying lion been waiting for?"
Sun Daren was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "How can this be the same? There are strong enemies in Ningzhou, Yan Ting has long seen that we are dissatisfied, what enemies can the Weishui Divine Kingdom have......
"Da Chu. This question was just out of the mouth, and Wei Lai, who had been silent on the side, spoke out loud. Sun Daren looked up at Wei Lai, but saw that the young man's face was calm and there was nothing unusual, so he realized the meaning of Wei Lai's words.
"Great Chu, Great Chu has a vast territory, and it is the co-lord of the northern territory, is it necessary to take action against the Weishui Divine Kingdom?" asked Sun Daren in confusion.
He had also heard more or less about the Great Chu Emperor, the Great Emperor of Hantian.
At that time, the Emperor of Hantian raised troops in the north, causing turmoil and misery in the entire north. It even attracted the wrath of the gods in the eastern realm once, and there was civil strife in the territory of Great Chu. After the new emperor ascended the throne, although he experienced a lot of trouble, he also reached an agreement with the eastern realm again, and would not do anything like his father again.
Now Emperor Chu thinks that even if he has the ambition of a wolf son who is not inferior to his father, he should not do anything that makes Dongjing dissatisfied at this juncture, right?
Wei Lai shook his head at that time, and was about to say something, but at this time, there was a sudden commotion from the restaurant, pulling everyone out of their thoughts and conversations.
Everyone looked sideways at that place, but saw a large group of people around the street below the restaurant, pointing at a girl kneeling on the ground, too far away, everyone couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but the other party's long fiery red hair looked quite eye-catching.
At this time, Xiao Er, who was in charge of serving the food in the restaurant, came to the side of everyone with the food ordered by everyone, and handed the food to everyone's table while reporting the name of the dish.
This restaurant is a top restaurant in Sanlong City, and Wei Lai's temperament will never choose here, but Li Chenghuang, as the eldest princess of Da Chu, has been pampered since she was a child, so she is naturally not used to eating the coarse food of those ordinary restaurants. In addition, she has a lot of money, and she insists on looking for this place, but Wei Lai does not insist.
Xiao Er is a little curious about this group of men and women who have never met, the other party is a total of four people, but ordered a full dozen dishes, and each one is worth a lot of money, at a glance is which famous family out to play Miss Gongzi, Xiao Er has a good vision, so he is extremely polite to everyone, after serving the dish, he arched his body, and said: "The dish is finished, you use it slowly, if there is anything you need, just let me know, the small one should be at the door." β
"Hmm. Li Chenghuang obviously experienced more such treatment, and didn't feel that there was him, so he stretched out his hand and handed over a silver coin, and Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he hurriedly took the silver coin, and thanked him for a thousand moments.
At this time, the noise from the street downstairs was a little louder.
Li Chenghuang frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on downstairs?"
Xiao Er, who took Li Chenghuang's silver money, became more and more in awe of Li Chenghuang and his party, and when he heard that the other party had an inquiry, he naturally knew everything and said everything.
He replied: "It seems that a girl is selling her father to avenge her parents." β
"I've heard of those who sold their bodies to bury their fathers, but I've never heard of those who sold themselves to take revenge. Sun Daren muttered.
"That's why it's so strange. Xiao Er said with a smile.
"Sell your body, sell your body, what's there to make a fuss. Li Chenghuang muttered with some dissatisfaction, obviously not liking to be disturbed to eat.
"Hey, hey. Xiao Er said: "The girl doesn't know, this girl who sells her body has strange rules, but she doesn't just want money, if you want to buy her body, you have to have the ability." β
"You have to compete in martial arts, and the one who wins can buy her. β
Sun Daren's eyebrows raised, and he became interested: "So strange?"
"Isn't it?, how about avenging my father?" Xiao Er said, looked at Li Chenghuang on the side and said, "If the girl doesn't like it, I'll send someone to get rid of her, so as not to disturb the girl's interest." β
As he spoke, he made a gesture to deal with the chaos downstairs, but Li Chenghuang stretched out his hand at that time, stopped the little two, and said, "Forget it, let her go to the poor person." β
"The girl has a good heart. Xiao Er nodded and said, this is to step down.
"Who is the prefect of Three Dragons City?" But at this moment, Wei Laihu, who had been silent on the side, said.
The little two were stunned, looked at Wei Lai, and saw that the other party was calm, sitting upright, secretly thinking that the other party was the leader of this group of young ladies and young ladies, so he naturally didn't dare to offend, so he hurriedly responded: "Liu Yue, Lord Liu." Childe knows?"
"Since Sanlong City is his jurisdiction, someone has sold himself to take revenge, so he doesn't care about this matter?" Wei Lai frowned and asked.
Xiao Er heard the dissatisfaction in Wei Lai's tone, but he didn't take it to heart.
After all, these noble-born young ladies don't have the trouble of running around for a living like ordinary people, and they like to learn how to do chivalry when they have nothing to do.
Xiao Er has seen a lot of such things.
He smiled and said: "Childe, this is misunderstanding our Lord Liu, Lord Liu's diligence and love for the people is a well-known thing in my Sanlong City." This girl has been here for two days, and every day at noon she hangs a sign in this place to avenge herself. β
"When our lord Liu heard about this, he came to ask this girl what grievances she had and who the enemy was. β
"But this girl doesn't go in, only said that her hatred can't be avenged by our Lord Liu, and Lord Liu asked for a long time without a response, and he could only give up, but he would still send someone to check on the girl's situation every day, and also said that as long as the girl figured it out, she could go to the prefect to find him at any time, and as long as there was a grievance, she would definitely make the decision for her. β
"You say, the prefect can't solve it, we still have King Wei here, we can always make decisions for her, right?"
"But this girl doesn't listen, she's stubborn!"
Wei Lai nodded when he heard this.
As for that Liu Yue, he had heard more or less, as far as the nearly 100 cities and towns in Ningzhou were concerned, this was quite dedicated to Governor Liu.
Wei Lai also understood the reason, so naturally he would not embarrass the other party.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "I'll go and see." β
......
"What do you think of Grandpa?"
When Wei Lai came to the street alone, he saw a big man with a naked and strong upper body, seven feet tall, standing in front of the crowd and talking loudly.
The big man looked at the girl standing on the side of the street with a lewd smile, reached out and patted his muscular chest, and said: "With my grandfather, I promise not only to help your father avenge me, but also to let you live a nourishing life from now on." β
When the man said this, the surrounding onlookers suddenly burst into laughter.
Wei Lai also walked into the crowd at this time and looked at the girl.
At the moment when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned - the girl's age looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with piercing red hair, white appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, but she was a rare beauty in the world, even compared to Ji Huanxi and Ah Cheng.
Wei Lai is not a person who covets beauty, but he is slightly surprised by the girl's appearance that is not like a mortal.
And at this time, the big man's ridicule was also responded to by the girl.
"A body of wine and meat, a brain of desire. β
"I'm an enemy, you have to be weak just by hearing the name, how can you avenge me?"
The girl's voice was cold, almost without any emotion, but obviously the big man couldn't accept the "pertinent" evaluation given by the girl.
"The chick is quite fierce! Today your grandfather is going to teach you what a real man is!"
The big man said, his hands clenched into fists and gurgling, and three divine gates emerged around his body, the divine gates resonated, and the spiritual power surged.
Seeing this, the faces of the surrounding people changed, for a small city like Sanlong City, the strong people of the Three Realms are rare, not to mention that this man was born with a tall horse and full of momentum, and the people present secretly thought that this girl might be in trouble today.
This girl was born extremely beautiful, which will inevitably make these people feel some compassion, but no one dares to stop the other party.
And Wei Lai, who was standing in the crowd, did raise his eyebrows, and looked at the two who were about to fight with interest.
It wasn't a battle of equal strength, so it was supposed to end quickly.
It's just that except for Wei Lai, I'm afraid no one could have imagined that the so-called two sides with unequal strength would be transferred.
The big man walked up to the girl, and the girl flicked her fingers, and the big man who looked as strong as a yak flew out like a kite with a broken string.
The surrounding people let out exclamations, and the big man who fell to the ground was wailing.
Wei Lai shook his head and turned to leave.
Wei Lai was not a nosy person, and if this happened in a territory outside of Ningzhou, he would never have the slightest intention of getting involved.
But after all, he is the king of Wei in Ningzhou, Jiang Huanshui handed over Ningzhou to him before he died, whether he is willing to take on this heavy responsibility or not, since he is the king of Wei, he has to be worthy of his grandfather's hard work.
I thought that if this girl really had any great grievances that could not be redressed, as the king of Wei, he was naturally willing to help the other party wash away the grievances and let the dead souls be wronged.
But after a while, he could see that this girl's cultivation was extraordinary, and he couldn't see the root at a glance, if the other party really had any grievances, then the opponent must be at least a great power outside the Seven Realms.
And judging from the girl's cold heart, she is far from panicking.
Then she should understand that it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack in a remote town like Three Dragons City that could fight against the power of the Seven Realms.
In this way, it seems that the real purpose of this girl will not be as simple as selling herself to take revenge, but as for what she wants to do, it is not something that Wei Lai can guess based on this fate. Of course, Wei Lai didn't have the heart to explore it, and from the fact that the girl didn't hurt the big man's life before, it can be seen that the other party is definitely not a person who loves to kill, so there is no need for Wei Lai to bother with this matter.
With that in mind, he turned and walked through the crowd to leave.
Bite!
But at this moment, the long sword behind his back suddenly let out a clear sound.
Wei Lai's brows furrowed and he stopped.
This sword called Chaodui is inextricably linked with that man, although Cao Tongyun once said that this thing is one of the thirty-six divine swords of Tiangang, but in Wei Lai's hands, in addition to being a little sharper than ordinary weapons, it did not show any abnormalities, and at this moment, he suddenly cleared his own, Wei Lai couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"What do you mean, do you want me to help her?" Wei Lai asked tentatively.
Bite!
The divine sword behind him cleared again, as if it was responding to Wei Lai's topic.
Wei Lai's face was strange, and he couldn't figure out whether it was a coincidence or a real psychic sword.
But the purpose of Wei Lai's trip was to find out the truth about the disappearance of several people, including Lu Yan'er, and this sword was related to that man, Wei Lai didn't want to miss any clues, he didn't think much about it, turned around at that time, lined up the crowd, and walked to the girl.
The surrounding people were shocked by the powerful strength of the girl Fang Cai's flick of her fingers to repel the big man, Wei Lai's behavior of walking straight in front of the girl made everyone a little confused, secretly thinking that it was another beautiful woman, so he got carried away, and for a while he also focused his attention on Wei Lai.
Wei Lai didn't realize that there was him, he just looked down at the girl, and it happened that the girl also looked up at Wei Lai.
There was no difference in the girl's eyes, as if she had expected Wei Lai's arrival, and the two looked at each other.
"Come with me, I'll help you. Wei Lai said.
The people around secretly pouted, and said in their hearts, "How could this girl be mortal? How could she agree because of a hairy boy's words."
Just when everyone was waiting to see Wei Lai eat deflated, the red-haired girl stretched out her hand at that time, put it in Wei Lai's palm, and responded calmly.
"Good. β
