Chapter Seventy-Six: Dongying
Dongying, which is across the sea from the Xia District, has been an isolated place since ancient times, and it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so that it can be a corner of peace in ancient times when transportation is inconvenient.
After being influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty and the closure of the shogunate period for hundreds of years, this island area has long formed its own set of systems and systems.
Unlike other forces in the world before the Elemental Explosion, in the Dongying of that period, onmyoji and shrine maidens were trusted by the ruling government, various cows, horses, snakes, and gods could be seen everywhere, and monks who believed in Buddhism built buildings and temples. The major forces have been separating one side for a long time, and Dongying has been in turmoil for a long time.
After the West's cannons shattered the peace of this self-sufficient world, a coup d'Γ©tat called the Shuzhi Restoration caused Dongying to begin to develop in another unknown direction.
Dongying's forces chose to retreat into the background under the pressure of other forces in the world, but the influence of hundreds of years of strife between the major forces could not be completely dissipated, so that after the Elemental Outbreak, Dongying's major forces could quickly re-divide Dongying's resources and territory.
It is precisely because of this that there are still contradictions within Dongying today, and they don't look at each other well.
However, thanks to the incident of that year, the Buddhism Gate quickly declined, from the original three parties to contain each other to evolve into a monster and two parties to confront each other, so that the political situation in Dongying was unstable, the economy was depressed, and smuggling and black market transactions were common.
In fact, this is not only a matter between the Onmyoji Fuso Shrine Maiden and the Demon Clan, but also a secret battle between the Dao Law Alliance and the Fantasy Alliance behind them.
At this time, at the port of Dongying, a boat without any license plate was moored here, and the people who walked around took a look at it and ignored it. With this lively mood, it is better to play mahjong in the future, and maybe you can make a small profit.
The door slowly opened, and a scar-faced man stepped down from the boat, holding a large knife and looking vicious. After a moment's notice, he snapped his fingers into the cabin.
A few figures emerged from the door, and after looking around a few times, they quickly left, without the slightest intention of stopping. After the figures left, a large number of people came out of the cabin one after another, and in the crowd that came out, the unhurried walking of two figures with hideous masks caused the other people to look sideways, including the scarface man, the scarface's eyes flashed when he saw the two tall and one short figures, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The two men with hideous masks quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, and several consecutive turns and crowds successfully shook off several unknown "rats". In the back alley of a cafeteria, one of them took down his hideous mask at the signal of another diminutive figure.
"Jiuyue, those 'rats' have been thrown off, where are they going now?" The person who took off the hideous mask revealed a delicate face, this person was Ling He, who had smuggled out of the Xia District and wanted to get out of the range of the Qiyun Blood Seal.
"And a little mouse." Jiu Yue didn't answer him, just touched the phone in his hand and looked at the wall behind Ling He.
After Ling He heard Jiuyue's words, he immediately kicked his leg at the wall with a backflip, just as Ling He's foot was about to kick against the wall.
The wall suddenly disappeared, and a man in black appeared behind Ling He without warning, and out of nowhere he found a few darts, he threw them at Ling He mercilessly.
Ling He missed a blow, turned over again in the air, flashed the darts of the man in black, and threw the hideous mask in his hand into the air while turning over, supported himself with one left leg and landed safely, swung out his right hand to slap the head of the man in black, and slapped the right hand of the man in black holding the dart.
After seeing this scene, a trace of shock flashed in the eyes of the man in black, but he reacted again, blocking Ling He's left-hand attack with his right hand, and his head lowered slightly to dodge Ling He's right hand attack.
A smug smile flashed at the corner of Ling He's mouth, and the eyes of the man in black who saw this scene shrank slightly, it's not bad! Just wanted to withdraw his right hand, but his head was kicked straight into the air by Ling He's right leg, and then in his incredible gaze, Ling He grabbed the mask that had just been thrown into the air, and suddenly a black dagger appeared in Ling He's hand and stabbed it fiercely at the chest of the man in black.
The mask that Ling He threw into the air just now actually contained a murderous dagger!
This was the only thought of the man in black before he lost consciousness, and he was soon overshadowed by the pain, and he subconsciously bit the tip of his tongue, and died in pain the moment he fell to the ground.
"Jiuyue, how many points do you give for this wave of operations?" After Ling He landed on the ground, he asked the man with the hideous mask very coquettishly, obviously he was very excited now.
"Fail."
"What? Didn't I solve this guy? Why do I fail? Ling He, who was eager to be appreciated by Jiuyue, didn't expect what kind of evaluation Jiuyue would give, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
"First, the action is not fast enough, the connection is not smooth enough, once you meet your combo that specializes in speed, it is a complete joke, you have to be glad that he specializes in hiding, otherwise your three-legged cat technique would have been killed by him a few times."
"Second, in fact, if that ninja just observed carefully, the advantage you just accumulated would be used by him, and the dagger hidden in the mask would become a death scythe that would kill you."
"Third, in the case just now, as long as you have the heart, you can completely prevent him from committing suicide, but in the end he still let him commit suicide, which will cause us to not be able to accurately judge the information, they are in the dark, and we are in the dark, which is very unfavorable to us."
"You have an absolute advantage, and I deliberately led him into this narrow space, so that he could not use his skills to the fullest, and was forced to clash with you head-on. You're the first to strike, and the ninja likes to give you a fatal blow when you're not prepared, and he's the least good at head-on confrontation, so to speak, he's hitting the muzzle. Gives you time to remove the mask first, so as not to take off the mask and make him suspicious. β
"So, in general, your battle this time is very unsuccessful, and it can be said that it is full of flaws. You've taken advantage of the right time and place, but you're still failing like this, and I'm starting to wonder what you've been busy with these days. β
Hearing Jiuyue's evaluation, Ling He was not ashamed, but said nonchalantly: "It's only been less than five days, I couldn't even beat an ordinary V1 a few days ago, and now I can force a V2 to commit suicide in desperation, the requirements you just said are from your eyes." Besides, if I really can't beat it, won't I still have you? β
Jiuyue sighed lightly, I'm afraid time is running out, before she leaves, Ling He must have the ability to stand alone, at least to survive in this chaotic world in the future, but now the top priority is to find a master for this kid.
"I'm sorry, I was looking at my phone and ignored you. So if you make a mistake just now, I'm afraid you'll really die. β
"Okay, okay, don't be so serious! By the way, what the hell have you been staring at your phone, what happened? β
"The 10086 City incident has come to fruition."
"Oh...... Is that so? Forehead......... Can you tell me who won? Ling He's expression stiffened, and he asked in a low voice.
"It was the people from the City Lord's Mansion who won the final victory."
"Sure enough, after so many years of planning...... By the way, we've arrived in Dongying, where are we going next? β
"Now I'm going to find an old friend. She will help you grow faster. β
"Is she human?"
"Do you care? Or are you afraid that I will harm you?? β
"Yes, what about people? What if it's not human? As long as you show me the way, I will finish it even if I die! β
"It's ridiculous." Jiu Yue replied to Ling He, and walked in front by himself, Ling He was stunned for a moment after hearing Jiu Yue's answer, and then hurriedly followed behind Jiu Yue.
"Perhaps...... bar. Jiuyue muttered to herself in a voice that Ling He couldn't hear.
