Chapter 296: A Few Words of Flattery

On the way back to Shancheng to Xingzhou, Fang Ling pretended to regard Zhou Haicang as a decent Xianmen disciple, behaved respectfully, and patted himself from time to time.

This girl originally grew up in Tsing Yi Fang, she was born with a clever mouth, and she can make people die sweetly when she speaks, although Zhou Haicang worships under the fairy gate, but in order to become an immortal as soon as possible, she also cultivates day and night, where has she received such flattery.

One is the dignified prince of Chu State, the world-famous King of Shicheng, and the other is a charming and beautiful maid, the two of them say a word to me, treating him as a master, which makes Zhou Haicang also a little fluttery, and continues to pretend to be a decent master, and even occasionally instructs the two of them in martial arts.

Fang Ling knew very well that this would not change Zhou Haicang's intentions in the slightest, once he found the cornucopia, he was afraid that his and Song Ying'er's lives would be in danger, but doing so was enough to win his trust.

Of course, Zhou Haicang did not doubt that the attitude of the two was false, he knew very well the immortal rules of the Immortal Gate, it was impossible for the Heavenly Master of Zhenguo to teach the complete cultivation method to Fang Ling, let alone tell him all kinds of things about the cultivation realm, so it was impossible for Fang Ling to know that the Tiankui Sect was an evil way, so he had no doubts about Fang Ling's compliment.

So, after he relaxed his vigilance, Fang Ling secretly explored the situation of all parties through the Shicheng Kingdom industry in various places along the way, and soon after entering the boundary of Xingzhou, he got an important message that a dragon appeared in the area of Yinhu.

Fang Ling talked about this matter intentionally or unintentionally during the meal, and sure enough, Zhou Haicang was immediately interested and took the initiative to ask.

This is also in Fang Ling's expectations, whether it is a mortal beast or a fierce beast in the cultivation realm, but all those who are stained with dragons are not ordinary goods, among the mortal beasts, Jiaolong is second to none, it is said that it is related to the dragon in the first place, there are many types of this thing, but it is at least thirty on the list of mortal beasts.

Ordinary fierce beasts must survive for at least three hundred years before they produce an inner pill, and after a martial artist takes it, his power can increase greatly.

However, the Jiaolong One Vein has an inner pill when it is a young beast, and its age can survive for thousands of years, the Jiaolong Inner Dan is the best thing in the mortal world, even if it is a disciple of the immortal sect in the mortal world, it is also very beneficial, in addition, the bones, tendons, and blood of the dragon are all the best materials that can be used to refine magic weapons, so Zhou Haicang has no reason not to be tempted.

In order to dispel Zhou Haicang's doubts, Fang Ling also said that the team escorting the cornucopia acted carefully, and they all walked on the avenue, and the three of them came all the way day and night, even if they delayed for two days, they could catch up.

Zhou Haicang was immediately relieved and decided to go to Yinhu, so the three of them turned around and hurried to Huaishan County.

Huaishan County, which is only a hundred miles away from the East Dome Pass, is also a heavily guarded place, as soon as you come here, you immediately feel a solemn atmosphere, as if the enemy army has attacked the city, after all, once the East Dome Pass is breached, Huaishan County is one of the first towns to be conquered.

Of course, the reason why the security in the county town is so strict is that part of it is also related to Jiaolong, a large number of martial arts people who heard the rumors flocked into the county town, large and small sects, cultivating high and low martial artists, occupying inns, and the city was overcrowded.

Of course, there are also some people in the green forest, evil sects crooked, people in the rivers and lakes have rules of the people in the rivers and lakes, and sects have sectarian disputes, everyone swarms here, and naturally there are some contradictions.

Therefore, the defenders in the city are also on standby, and several patrols have been added to maintain the peace in the city.

Of course, Fang Ling didn't worry about his residence, because there was a branch of Tianjin Silk Village in the county, and he also pretended to explain this location generously to Zhou Haicang.

Zhou Haicang saw him say such a confidential thing, and his vigilance against Fang Ling was a little more relaxed.

Since Fang Ling had already sent someone to inform him, as soon as he came to the village, the guys from the silk village immediately led the three of them to the backyard lobby.

After the man served the tea, a short middle-aged man strode in, saluted respectfully and said, "Chen Zhangtie has seen His Highness." ”

Fang Ling smiled and let him get up, and took a closer look at this honest-looking man, Zhang Tie was originally a county soldier in Feng County, and it can be said that he was the first batch of people to follow Fang Ling, so his feelings were also very deep, and later he was selected by Meng Zhiyuan and sent here to take charge of the Silk Village, secretly collecting all kinds of confidential news from the East Dome Pass, which can be described as a great responsibility.

After all, as the first fortress in the East, the East Dome Pass is by no means so easy to find out the secrets, so this silk village alone consumes thousands of silver in two months, but because the business of the silk village is very good, it can be self-sufficient.

After he sat down, Fang Ling asked Zhang Tie to introduce the matter of Jiaolong.

Zhang Tie said: "The silver lake is more than ten miles outside the county town, where the three rivers meet, there are thousands of miles of range, the depth of the lake is a thousand feet, because of the abundance of silverfish, every time the sun shines on the lake like a piece of silver light and get the name. Many of the surrounding villages and counties have made a living from fishing, and have been fishermen for generations. Just half a month ago, a fisherman went into the lake to cast a net, witnessed a huge dragon poking out of the lake, and swallowed one of the fishermen alive, and then the dragon appeared one after another, and now there are no less than a dozen fishermen who have died in its hands. ”

Zhou Haicang groaned: "Although so many people have seen it, but the fishermen are just ordinary people after all, and they have to be shocked for a long time when they see the giant python, are they sure that this thing is a dragon?"

Although Zhang Tie didn't know who he was, when he saw that the King of Shicheng was respectful, he immediately replied: "In addition to ordinary people, there are also people from Yinhu Water Village who see Jiaolong. ”

"Silver Lake Water Village, how does it sound like a den of water thieves? Fang Ling said.

Zhang Tie said with a smile: "This water village is indeed a water thief's nest, this silver lake is vast, the three rivers converge, the lake tributaries are numerous, and there are also a lot of islands, since ancient times, there are water thieves on this island, ten years ago a water thief leader Zhuo Shangchao unified the water village here, established the silver lake water village, and now has more than 500 subordinates. ”

Fang Ling said meaningfully: "Huaishan County is also a big city, with thousands of defenders, and this place is only a hundred miles away from the East Dome Pass, this Zhuo Shangchao can be a water thief under the nose of the Eastern General Huang Longhu, this ability is really not ordinary." ”

Zhang Tie replied: "This Zhuo Shangchao's ability to hear is ordinary, only his cultivation is very good, but the smart one is the deputy owner of the village next to him, Li Fengxing, this person is very powerful, can be called a think tank, for so many years, he has been working around, so he has kept the water village safe, and even came up with a set of Zhao'an names." ”

Fang Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "You go on." ”

Zhang Tie continued: "This silver lake is very vast, and the government has no navy, so no matter how much it is encircled and suppressed, it can't be cleared, so it has been delayed, and then this matter stabbed Huang Longhu's ear, he was very angry, and he was ready to mobilize heavy troops to exterminate it. At the suggestion of Li Fengxing, the relationship between Huaishan County was opened, and after the Yinhu Water Village was recruited, the Yinhu Water Village belonged to the army directly under the government. ”

Fang Ling sneered and said, "This is really a nest of snakes and rats, and I can't tell the difference between black and white." ”

Zhang Tie nodded, and said: "There are many martial arts masters in Yinhu Water Village, and they are all very knowledgeable, so they will definitely not recognize a water python as a dragon." ”

Zhou Haicang laughed and said, "Speaking of which, there is really a dragon in this silver lake." ”

Zhang Tie said: "It is said that this Jiaolong is not big, and it is haunted in the lake, so that the fishermen of the entire Silver Lake dare not go into the water, Zhuo Shangchao also thinks that it is impossible to kill the Jiaolong with the people and horses of the water village alone, so not long ago, he posted a hero post, inviting all the masters in Xingzhou to go to the water village, preparing to hold a hero conference, and gather everyone's strength to kill the dragon." ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "This Zhuo Zhai master really has some self-aware reputation, if it is really a dragon, it is estimated that a mere water village is not enough to fill the gaps, but with the presence of senior Zhou, it will be different, how can a dragon be your opponent?"

Zhou Haicang smiled and said with a bit of conceit: "Although the dragon is a strange thing in the world, the old man is not an ordinary martial art, since this dragon is a disaster in the world, then there is naturally a reason to clear it." ”

Fang Ling asked, "When will this Hero Conference start?"

Zhang Tie replied: "Just tomorrow morning, His Highness will rest here for one night, and it will be too late to set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "That week, the seniors just took a break, and everyone was tired along the way." ”

After sending Zhou Haicang to the guest room, Fang Ling and Song Ying'er came to the guest room in another courtyard, and after sitting down, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, along the way, the three of them either spent the night in the wilderness or stayed in the adjacent guest room, and there was no in-depth conversation for safety.

Now separated by a courtyard, Song Ying'er asked out the doubts in her stomach, and when she heard Fang Ling talk about what happened in the gold mine, Song Ying'er knew the cause and effect, and said very worriedly: "It turns out that he is actually a disciple of the Tiankui Sect, since he is Yu Wu's senior brother, then his cultivation is only afraid that it is even more amazing than Yu Wu." ”

Fang Ling bowed his head slightly and said, "If my estimate is correct, I'm afraid that this person's cultivation has already reached the peak stage of the Qi Realm!"

Song Ying'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and said, "The peak period of the Qi Realm?"

You must know that Song Ying'er's cultivation is only in the initial stage of the Qi Melting Realm, and Fang Ling is only in the stable period of the Qi Melting Realm, even if the two of them work together to deal with the previous Qi Realm initial entry period, it will be a headache, not to mention that it is still the peak period? What's more, the most powerful thing about the Xianmen disciples is not their cultivation, but in their magic weapons, cultivation and magic weapons, their strength can definitely be described as terrifying.
