205. Decided to go west

Seeing this scene, my heart began to tremble violently! Because it all fits perfectly with my childhood memories!

Those who besiege me are either dead or wounded! And my father also took this opportunity to run over and pick me up! When he was about to rush over and take his mother's hand, he heard his mother scream, "Take the child away!" I'll definitely go to you! Leave me alone! Come on! ”

Grandpa's voice came: "You dead girl! Elbow outward! Kill them! Except for my daughter, there is no living mouth! ”

When the mother heard this, she turned around and pulled the trigger again in succession on the few people rushing outside the house! At the same time, he screamed: "Hurry up!" Let's go! ”

Seeing this, my father gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted, "Suzuki! ”

Then he took me with him, took a few steps backwards, climbed over the courtyard wall, and walked away with red eyes.

I know that this "Suzuki" is telling my mother that we are going to join Uncle Suzuki! Give us clues for the mother to come to us in the future!

The mother didn't look back, and a smile appeared on her tear-stained face! However, when she finally emptied the pistol bullets, several people around her rushed past her and chased her father and me in the direction where they had disappeared!

The mother screamed, "No! Then he immediately pulled out the dagger at his waist and threw himself at the few people who were chasing him!

In a hurry, I exclaimed, "Mom! Then it went dark! I lost consciousness again......

When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was still standing in the military tent on the top of Mount Mt. Ez! I still held the box in my hand, it was empty, and I felt that the black stone had indeed merged into the pendant on my chest!

The mysterious gate was still gone, everything was back to its original form, and the kites, the nine ghosts, and Lakshin next to me were staring at me dumbfounded!

Seeing me wake up, Kite stammered and asked, "Qilan!" You...... Are you okay! ”

When I came back to my senses, I realized that everything I had just done was just a fantasy. I don't know where it came from, but I do know that I'm getting closer and closer to the truth!

Collecting my feelings, I smiled and replied, "I'm fine!" Well...... What just happened? ”

The kite was organizing the language, but Lakshin on the side said with a complicated expression: "Mr. Fang Cai, after you picked up this box and opened it, a burst of black light came out of the box!" The three of us felt chills all over our bodies, as if something terrifying was surrounding! And we feel as if we are restrained and unable to move! ”

The Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao said: "Later, we regained our senses, and when we saw Qilan, you were still standing dumbfounded, motionless, and we didn't respond to your shouting!" We are discussing whether you have fallen into evil or not, and we are going to find the black dog blood to save you! You'll wake up! ”

The kite stammered a little: "Qilan, what happened just now?" What is that black light? ”

I felt something of my body...... It seems that some kind of amazing change has occurred! When I carried the cold crystal formula, the cold qi that was originally corrosive had turned purple and black! I raised my hand, and the purple-black color was like a black fire, shrouded around my arm!

The face of the Nine Ghosts changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Sir! It's hellfire! ”

After thinking about it, he added, "Legend has it that only demons can use hellfire!" The coldest fire in the world! ”

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I stretched out two fingers and slashed at the ground in front of me! Under the urging of the cold crystal technique, the energy mixed with the Nie family's dark attribute exercises gushed out, and with this black flame, it was gently dragged on the ground in front of him!

I only heard a "snort" and I smelled a scorched smell! When I raised my eyes, I saw that the ground was "burned" out of a deep black mark, and around the black mark, there was still a slight cold!

Everyone was dumbfounded! Only I know - the Cold Crystal Recipe handed over to me by the Third Uncle Ancestor, the transformation of the Nie family's dark attribute internal strength that I had already experienced in the early stage of receiving and paying with the shadow and swallowing the light, has become the Cold Crystal Earth Fire Technique! And today, when I was once again under the influence of Oda Nobunaga's black stone, my practice underwent a fundamental qualitative change again, and it became the coldest flame exercise in the world!

Oda Nobunaga is known as the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and his black stone has a strong dark attribute, coupled with the previous kung fu bonus, it has completely become another set of exercises at this time. Controlling the black flames jumping in my palms, after thinking about it, I finally renamed this exercise - Nine Shadow Crystal Fire Technique!

Seeing the person next to me looking at me in horror, I smiled slightly: "Indeed, under the influence of Oda Nobunaga's black stone, I seem to have mastered this strange internal strength. Well, it's still based on my cold crystal technique, as for whether this flame can only be mastered by demons, I don't know, but I know that my strength has once again reached new heights! ”

As I spoke, I picked up a crossbow bolt from the weapon rack next to me, pulled the string of the crossbow, hit the arrow, and shot the arrow at a big tree not far away!

The arrow shot at the tree, not making the usual "grab" sound, but as if pouring a scoop of water on the fire, making a slight "snort" sound!

The Nine Ghosts hurriedly ran over, and after a while, he came back with the arrow, and said with a pale face: "Sir, that tree...... Corroded! The tree is dead, but it's still standing! This fire ...... It's too overbearing! ”

Hearing this, my heart was mixed. Happily, this trick is indeed powerful! The worry is that just now, I have consumed almost half of my strength!

The power is huge, the loss is huge! This is my evaluation of the new exercises! As a last resort, you must not devote your best efforts like this again!

Retracting the exercises, I pinched the pendant made of three stones and was in a daze.

This humble stone brings me important information from my previous life! It seems that they are associated with some strange space, and every time I find a rock,—— it is like a key, something will be revealed, and I will see more and deeper truths!

I have to find more stones! But where do I go to find it?

Suddenly, I remembered the prophecy of Granny Yunhu, and it seemed that ...... It seems that only by completing the entrustment can we find the path that belongs to our destiny!

Entrust...... This means that the time has come for me to go to the West and help my second uncle to complete the next entrustment!

The matter of Dongying is over, and it is time for me to leave. If you stay, it seems that you can only fall into a cycle, and it will be difficult to break through! It's really time to leave!

After I secretly made up my mind, I decided to spend a little time to completely finish off Dongying's beginnings and ends. In addition to letting Su stay and continue to operate, my main force and development focus are going towards the Western civilization!

Seeing that I was indeed safe and sound, the kite and the other three were completely relieved. We sat down on the floor and began to discuss our next steps.

I don't regret taking the fleet with me, but I still went to the West before, and the meeting place we agreed was in London. It's just that this time I've been going for a long time, I don't know when I'll be back, and I have to accomplish some things before I go.

With my return to Sakai Port, the headquarters of the Hajikai Chamber of Commerce was established again, and with Hideyoshi's support, the Hakaikai became the largest commercial unit in Sakai Port, and I formed a business alliance similar to Hakata here, which was responsible for the business operations of Honshu Island, especially the generation.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the advent of the three-legged era and the strong economic recovery of and the surrounding areas, the turnover trade of this port is enough to be equal to the total trade volume of the whole Dongying before!

At the same time, as a result of the agreement I completed with Sorin Otomo and Yoshihisa Shimazu, my trading base in Hakata and Kagoshima was expanded again, and of course, this was also the result of the strong support of the two daimyos.

Jianghu, how to say it, has been tepid, it can be regarded as a continuous investment, to be honest, I don't lack trade here, as long as it is maintained.

Kumano Suijun, well, I mean Kuki Yoshitaka, after learning that Hideyoshi and I were still fully on peace and that they had become allies and partners, came to Sakai Port alone for one purpose - to talk to his brother.

He presented a lot of physical evidence and proved to the nine ghosts that the deaths of his father and eldest brother had nothing to do with him. After several entanglements, the nine ghosts chose to believe in their brother, and the two reconciled.

And I said that the hatred of the Kumano water army for "robbing" my father has dissipated with the end of my bet with Hideyoshi, and there is no need to worry about it anymore!

The Nine Ghosts Jialong is still very guilty, and dedicates me a long-cherished collection - Zhen-Tong Ziche! It is the only original and genuine product cut by this A goods boy in my hand. For such kindness, I naturally laughed at it.

With all that out of the way, I feel like I've pretty much done what I need to do. But after thinking about it, I still prepared a lot of gifts, some big and some small, but they are all high-quality, so that the left-behind long-cherished opportunity to give to these friends in Dongying is considered to leave a good thought, I don't know when I will be able to come back, at least there is no problem with asking them to take care of Jian Hai more!

Mo has gone to the West with no regrets, but the intelligence agency is still functioning. Two days before I left, I suddenly received a very gratifying news - the Murong clan that betrayed me and framed Hua Mei and the Li family had been severely punished.

I don't know how Yu Shenxing operated, Murong and Jinyiwei, including many people who were close to Zhang Siwei in related fields, were finally dubbed the crime of "rebellion", and so far, almost none of them have been cleaned up by the royal family! Murong Qin and several elders of the Murong family are said to have committed suicide by setting fire to the tower, but as of now, it has not been ascertained which body belongs to Murong Qin.

It is said that several motions were raised in the Ming court to study the matter of inviting me to return to the Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, and a number of reformist officials welcomed and recognized this. But this discussion is still pending, and I understand it very well - although the conservatives led by Zhang Siwei are currently losing power, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and their influence on the little emperor Zhu Yijun is still huge.

Besides, I have no intention of going back.

In the end, I left on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

On this day, the Sakai port was sunny and beautiful, and I made an agreement with Hideyoshi to officially leave the port at about 10 o'clock in the morning. He said that he would come to see him off, but I hated parting the most, so I left Sakai Harbor two hours early, around 8 a.m., by boat.

Just as my ship was slowly leaving the harbor, several cannon shots rang out in the direction of the city!

The sound of the salute at that time! Fourteen rings!

I knew that Hideyoshi had guessed that I would leave early, so he had already prepared a salute to see me off! It seems that he understands me, hey, a confidant, but unfortunately we can't work together. Regretful!

However, there is still a vast sea and ocean in front of me! There is also a boundless world waiting for me! Friends, my departure is not goodbye, and when I return, let me drink again!

Goodbye, friends! I'm coming, New World!
