Chapter 9: Poseidon Sect
Among the mundane, the shopkeeper of the restaurant must be the most well-informed group of people, as long as he is willing to spend a little money, there is nothing he can't inquire.
Therefore, as soon as he got on Jiaolong Island, Lu Qingshan went straight to the port restaurant of Jiaolong Port.
In Jiaolonggang, a restaurant with such a large flow of people, business is naturally very prosperous, and the huge three-story restaurant is close to full of customers before the meal arrives.
Lu Qingshan found a three-story private seat by the window and sat down, and after ordering the sumptuous wine and food, he called out to the shopkeeper who greeted him, and stuffed a small piece of broken silver, "Little Er, I want to ask you something." ”
The shopkeeper didn't take the broken silver for the first time, but asked very politely: "What does Childe want to inquire?" ”
"I'm new to the island and want to know more about the island, so I wonder if you can tell me a thing or two." Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Hearing what Lu Qingshan was asking, the shopkeeper took the broken silver with a smile on his face, carefully wiped the broken silver with his cuffs, put it in his pocket, and said in a subdued voice: "Childe, you are asking the right person, I have been working in this restaurant for five or six years, and the things on the island, not to mention everything clearly, there are still ...... ten things."
Although Jiaolong Island is large, because of its unique topography, ninety percent of the population is actually gathered in the southern coastal area around Jiaolong Port, and the further north it is, the more sparsely populated.
"And it's strange to say, there is an active volcanic crater in the southern part of the island, which erupts from time to time......" The shopkeeper said in a suspenseful tone.
Lu Qingshan waited for the following, "There's nothing strange about the crater?" ”
Seeing Lu Qingshan answer, the shopkeeper was very excited: "It's strange that what erupts in this crater is not magma, but water mist in the sky. ”

"Oh?"
"What's even more strange is that this crater is dark and secluded, bottomless, invisible, and has an extremely strong suction force, like an abyss that swallows everything.
It is said that even a monk with the ability to fly into the heavens and the earth, if he accidentally falls into this crater, he will not have the slightest ability to resist, and will be sucked into the depths and disappear! The shopkeeper added.
At this time, Lu Qingshan was a little more concerned, and the crater that even a monk could devour was indeed worth noting.
After talking about the landform and customs on the island, the shopkeeper introduced Lu Qingshan to the situation of the forces on the island.
On Jiaolong Island, the biggest force is the Poseidon Sect, which can be said to cover the sky with one hand and control the only city on Jiaolong Island, Jiaolong City.
And the Poseidon Sect, the reason why they got this name, is because they stand behind the "Poseidon".
"Poseidon?" Lu Qingshan frowned.
Dian Xiaoer explained, "It's the Jiaolong clan, the sea near our Poseidon Islands is inhabited by the Jiaolong clan, their king, who calls themselves the Poseidon Islands, and the Poseidon Islands belong to their rule, and the Poseidon Sect is the sect power supported by the Jiaolong King." ”
"I just heard a saying that the Seagod Sect betrayed its compatriots to please demon beasts and the like......"
The shopkeeper was like being struck by lightning, and he was shaken, and there was no response.
This Seagod Sect is really powerful on Jiaolong Island.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qingshan said secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he quietly handed over a complete ingot of silver in his hand.
A look of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and he struggled for a long time, but finally he couldn't resist the temptation of the silver, gritted his teeth, took the silver from Lu Qingshan's hand, lowered his voice a few points, and said: "On the surface, this Seagod Sect is talking about the sect supported by the Jiaolong clan, but in fact, it is the lackey of the Jiaolong clan and the butcher's knife of the Jiaolong demon clan!"
Jiaolong Demon King proclaimed himself the god of the sea, cruel by nature, and held a sacrifice ceremony every other year, with ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls as sacrifices.
This matter is operated by the Seagod Sect, a tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many people on the island have died because of it. ”
Lu Qingshan's face froze, "Didn't anyone resist?" ”
"How dare you, let's not mention that the Jiaolong clan can turn over the river and the sea above the sea, just because the Seagod Sect is powerful, then it is not ordinary people who dare to resist." As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "However, it seems that in recent decades, there are monks on the island who are not used to seeing the atrocities of the Seagod Sect and secretly organize a force to try to overthrow the rule of the Seagod Sect, but I don't know if it can succeed.......
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and asked one last question, "When will this year's sacrificial ceremony be held?" ”
"Childe, it's a coincidence, in five days, it will be the day of this year's sacrifice ceremony."
……
After asking about the specific situation on the island, Lu Qingshan gradually fell into deep thought, and when he came back to his senses, he wanted to eat some wine and food, but found that the cups and plates on the table were already in a mess.
It's not all the work of the West Rat King, because this time Lu Qingshan has an extra companion by his side - after getting off the boat, he asked for the Tibetan small sword that he walked with.
Lu Qingshan looked at the appearance of the West Rat King in front of him, his eyes were shining, and the girl who was eating on the table was a little helpless.
"On the boat, in addition to seafood, it is seafood, this is what people should eat!" Zang Xiaojian felt Lu Qingshan's gaze and explained.
The King of the West Rat slammed his little head a few times with deep sympathy, and felt a little confidant of the Tibetan little sword.
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to ask Zang Xiaojian, who was busy with his mouth, "What are you coming to Jiaolong Island for?" Visit? Friends? ”
Zang Xiaojian is also instructive to him, and the little girl seems to want to follow him for a while, and he is not easy to refuse, but it is better to ask the little girl's purpose.
Zang Xiaojian shook his head and said vaguely, "No...... Hmm, you wait for me. ”
She was stuffing a big meat bun with chopsticks into her mouth, and only then did she take a small bite, revealing the steaming oily meat filling inside, the girl was obviously not ready to give up this meat bun first, but she was anxious to answer Lu Qingshan, so she put down the chopsticks, and she didn't care about scalding and Sven, she stuffed the remaining meat bun into her mouth with both hands, and stuffed her little face into a small long bun, with bulging cheeks.
Zang Xiaojian tried hard to swallow the meat bun in his mouth, and hurriedly picked up the teacup on the side, and poured a sip of tea, only then did he pat his chest and breathe down, "I almost choked ......"
Immediately, the girl's dark eyes stared at Lu Qingshan, and she said very calmly: "I'm just like you, I'm here to find the natal sword!" ”
Lu Qingshan's eyes glanced at the Western Rat King who didn't listen to the outside of the window and concentrated on eating on the table.
Zang Xiaojian understood what Lu Qingshan meant, waved his hand, and clarified for the West Rat King: "It wasn't the West Rat King who told me.
I was born with an ability to perceive swords.
And in your dantian, I didn't feel the existence of the natal sword. ”
"Later, I asked the King of the West Rat, where did you come from, and I learned that you and the King of the West Rat are from Zhenjiang Mansion in Qingzhou."
"My father told me that seven years ago, near the South China Sea, he sensed an extremely powerful sword weapon, and I just needed a natal sword, so my father asked me to come to the South China Sea to give it a try."
Zang Xiaojian's words are not complete, but the meaning is very clear: a sword cultivator without a natal sword, thousands of miles across the two states, came to the South China Sea, where a powerful sword weapon once appeared, what can he ask for in addition to this powerful sword weapon?
This assumption is quite reasonable.
When the Rat King heard his name, he raised his head and looked at the two of them with a confused expression.
Lu Qingshan said angrily: "Eat yours." ”
He was not surprised by Zang Xiaojian's behavior, just as he had also tried to find out the origin of Zang Xiaojian, and it was naturally common sense for Zang Xiaojian to inquire about his news intentionally or unintentionally.
It's just that I didn't expect Zang Xiaojian to have such a special ability, and he judged his purpose so easily.
But the little girl was very frank and stated her purpose of finding the sword, which undoubtedly made Lu Qingshan's unhappiness unavoidable.
A very clever girl!
The ability to perceive sword weapons is extremely strong, but this talent is very peculiar, but it doesn't seem to be of much use, and even with Lu Qingshan's understanding of the Nine Heavens, it is unheard of.
Hiding the little sword is so frank, Lu Qingshan didn't hide it either, and said, "Yes, I'm here to find the natal sword." ”
Zang Xiaojian smiled and said, "I see that as soon as you go to the island, you go straight to the restaurant to inquire about the news, so you must not have a certain direction."
And I, too, may be able to exchange what we know and find out where the sword is. ”
"As for the ownership of the sword...... Zang Xiaojian tilted his head to look at Lu Qingshan, and said in a raised tone: "Then everyone will depend on their ability at that time, you see how it is!" ”
