Chapter 23: Shipwrecks on the Bottom of the Sea
After listening to Li Shanren's narration, the swordsman and the girl Xia'er glanced at each other in surprise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the cause of the incident turned out to be like this?
"Actually, Li Shanren, you don't have to mind so much, the situation at that time was very critical, you couldn't protect yourself, and it was a pity that you couldn't save your friend, but it's no wonder that you. ā
Miss Xia'er is kind-hearted and comforts Li Shandao.
"Alas, in any case, this series of things is caused by old decay. The old man is uneasy. ā
Miss Xia'er's relief did not alleviate Li Shanren's guilt.
"Shaoxia, he has decided to go to the East Bay to find out what is going on and solve this trouble for the people of Jianye City. ā
Miss Xia'er said as she looked at the swordsman with concern.
"Really? Then the old man thanked the young man first, the young man treated the old man, and solved this heart disease for the old man, even if the old man is bankrupt, he will definitely thank the young man. ā
Li Shanren said excitedly.
"Li Shanren doesn't have to be polite, Li Shanren's name as a good person has also been heard below. ā
The swordsman waved his hand absentmindedly, but he was thinking about other things.
After a while, the housekeeper came back with the medicine.
It just so happened that Ma Quanyou had a hell Ganoderma lucidum there, I heard that it was to be used for Li Shanren's treatment, he resolutely did not charge money, when he first came to Jianye City, he was poor, and it was with the help of Li Shanren that he Ma Quanquan had today.
The swordsman instructed the housekeeper to boil water to decoction the medicine, and then carefully checked the type and amount of Chinese medicine brought back by the housekeeper, and then instructed Miss Xia'er to look at the decoction herself.
After Miss Xia'er brought the decoction to her, the swordsman personally fed Li Shanren to take it. However, before Li Shanren took the medicine, the swordsman secretly poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle in his arms and put it into the medicine bowl.
Seeing Li Shanren drink the medicine cleanly, the swordsman breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking the medicine, the swordsman told Li Shanren to rest more, and then he and Miss Xia'er returned to the hall on the first floor with the housekeeper.
"Shaoxia, is our master okay?"
The housekeeper asked nervously.
"It's not easy to say, it's man-made. ā
The swordsman looked up at the second floor and said meaningfully.
After saying that, the two of them rejected the housekeeper's request to keep them in the mansion for dinner and left.
After such a toss, it was already getting dark. They also had to rush to Niu Daring's house to discuss with him about the East Bay matter. From Li Shan's mouth, they have already learned what happened.
It's just a ghost that has just been formed for a few years, and the swordsman is a little more sure about this trip.
The two bought some cooked food on the way, and when they came to Niu Daring's house, Niu Daring was sitting at the table and pouring himself a drink, so uncomfortable.
"Uncle Niu is really interested. ā
After learning that the danger of the swordsman's trip had been greatly reduced, Miss Xia'er's mood was much better. Boldly joked with the cow.
"Hehe, it's just poor and happy. What is that? What did Li Shanren say?"
Niu boldly saw that the swordsman was carrying another bag of food in his hand, and stood up happily.
The swordsman put the food in his hand on the table. He told Li Shanren's words to Niu Daying.
"I see. No wonder Li Shanren never told anyone about this matter, it turned out that there was such a hidden secret. ā
After Niu Daring listened, he also sighed and sighed, Li Shanren has been kind to others for many years, and he has been kind and generous. Naturally, he was ashamed to announce this matter to the world. This is also human nature.
However, Niu Daring also had doubts in his heart, if it was just a small ghost, why would so many adventurers never return, but he saw that the swordsman and the girl were no longer as worried as they were at noon, so he didn't mention it. He didn't want to put too much pressure on the two.
"I wonder if the young man has any plans?"
"Hmm... The next idea is to go to the shipwreck that Li Shanren said tonight to investigate. ā
The swordsman thought for a moment and said.
That's what the old way meant. ā
The two hit it off and made a plan right away.
The three of them hastily ate dinner and set off.
The swordsman originally wanted Miss Xia'er to stay in the city and wait. It's just that Miss Xia'er stubbornly refused this time, so the swordsman had no choice but to agree to her, but he insisted that Miss Xia'er couldn't go into the water at that time, and only stayed on the shore with Niu boldly to respond.
It was a good night tonight, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the way forward for the three of them.
The three of them set out from the east gate of Jianye City, and soon came to a shore, where the boat sank not far from here, according to Li Shanren.
The swordsman took Niu Daring's wine gourd and drank a few sips, instructed Niu Daring to take care of Miss Xia'er, and went into the water.
Niu Daring also opened the posture and began to practice, for the unjust soul here. Miss Xia'er stood on the shore, nervously watching the water, even though she couldn't see anything.
The swordsman held his breath, and after sneaking in the water for a short time, he vaguely saw the outline of a sunken ship in the water. The wreck looked like it was huge. There are also a few small fishing boats scattered around, presumably the boats of the fishermen who have been killed recently.
The swordsman silently calculated, the location of the shipwreck was a deep trench, but it was not far from the shore. I only sighed in my heart that Li Shanren and his party were too unlucky to sink the ship here. Not only was a shipload of cargo lost, but several lives were also lost.
The swordsman gathered his mind and slowly approached the huge shipwreck. Along the way, there were also a lot of octopus monsters and starfish swimming past the swordsman, but they didn't take the initiative to attack him, it seems that Xia'er is right, these low-level monsters in the East Bay will not take the initiative to attack humans.
Swimming closer, the swordsman found that the wreck was a little bigger than when he looked at it from a distance, and groped his way to find the entrance to the wreck and enter the huge wreck.
The ship has been sinking for so many years, and there is still air left in it. It seems that the quality of this ship is excellent, could it be that the storm was so tyrannical back then?
The swordsman let go of the doubts in his heart and slowly explored the shipwreck.
The wreck was littered with normal cargo, and nothing unusual.
It wasn't until the swordsman explored one of the secret rooms that Li Shanren had specially explained, that he suddenly felt that the air was cold, and his eyes immediately became sharp.
This secret room is not large, and at first glance, there is only a delicate chest in the middle of the secret room. But it wasn't the delicate box that caught his attention, but an illusory figure sitting on it.
The figure looks very gorgeously dressed, but his eyes are very confused. As if sensing the entry of the swordsman, the figure's eyes suddenly looked over.
The swordsman was startled and immediately assumed a defensive posture. It seems that this is the ghost of the businessman friend mentioned in Li Shan's mouth.
