Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lin Qiao'er, the Medicine Elder Disciple
Unlike the Imperial Capital of the Xuantian Empire, Water Night City is not surrounded by towns, and there are no other towns around it to set off the majesty of the Imperial Capital.
Almost all of the surrounding area is jungle, and a moat several meters wide outside the walls keeps the city firmly guarded by attackers.
The towering city walls, the wide moats, the thick chains, the towering arrow towers on the city walls, and the dense guards are all silently showing the strength of the Water Night Empire.
Lu Feng and the four of them stepped on the bridge above the moat and looked at the calm water below, Lu Feng subconsciously exuded consciousness and wanted to explore the water.
But the strange thing is that with Lu Feng's strength and spiritual strength, he can't even get close to the surface of the water, and when his consciousness is about to enter the water, he will disappear as if he was swallowed by something.
This situation made Lu Feng even more curious about the Water Night Empire in his heart, as the most powerful empire in the Northern Regions, it has never wavered for hundreds of years, what kind of strength has allowed the Water Night Empire to always stand at the top of the Northern Regions.
"Haha, kid, don't be tempted, with your current strength, you can't enter the water, this is the moat of the Water Night Empire, how can you dare to build it so empty in the jungle plain without a little reliance. ”
seemed to feel Lu Feng's actions, and the fire boss who was carrying the wine gourd on the side laughed, and then said with a smile to Lu Feng.
"Huo Lao, this water?"
The behavior was exposed, and Lu Feng was also a little embarrassed, but the curiosity in his heart did not diminish at all, and he asked the old man while walking forward slowly.
"This water night city as the imperial capital is not as simple as you think, just this moat hides mysteries, it seems to be a calm river, but there is something else in it.
There are countless soul eater fish in this water, a kind of fish demon beast that specializes in devouring human spirits, the strength of this kind of demon beast is very low, but the number is huge, a group of soul eater fish with the strength of the soul can even eat a grandmaster directly without even bones.
Moreover, the Soul Eater can create a whirlpool in the water, and as long as you fall into it, you basically can't get out, so the first step for those who want to invade Water Night City is how to face the Soul Eater. ”
Raised his head and took a sip of the liquor in the pot, and then wiped the corners of his mouth heroically, Huo Lao explained seriously to Lu Feng. Especially Sun Shengyang, who was walking on the edge of the bridge on the side, hurriedly leaned towards the center after hearing Huo Lao's explanation.
"I see, no wonder. Water Night City, worthy of its name. ”
After listening to Huo Lao's introduction, Lu Feng already understood in his heart. The four of them walked to the gate of the city and looked up at the gate of Water Night City, Lu Feng was even more cautious in his heart, this was already going deep into the enemy's lair.
Entering the Water Night City, Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang were dumbfounded by the prosperity of the Water Night City, originally thinking that it was the same as the Cloud Underworld City, but they didn't expect that there was actually a cave.
"No, here, there is the Lin family in front. ”
After walking forward along the wide streets of Water Night City for a long time, Yao Lao, who had not said a word, looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him with a smile in his eyes and said in a low voice.
The Lin family is worthy of being the first family of the Water Night Empire, and it is not easy to have such a large mansion in Water Night City, where every inch of land is valuable. This scale is much more exaggerated than the Zhang family in Yanling City. Lu Feng retracted his surprise and followed Yao Lao into the Lin family.
"Why can't my master be here? ”
"Come on, the news from your master two days ago should have arrived according to the time. You just want your master, where to put my father. ”
The gatekeeper of the Lin family obviously knew Yao Lao, and did not inform Yao Lao in advance under Yao Lao's instructions, Lu Feng and the others had just stepped into the Lin family's mansion, and they saw two voices talking in the hall in front of them.
A young girl, twenty-eight years old, with a turquoise dress, long black hair draped smoothly behind her back, and the silver-white boots under her feet reflected her straight legs even more white.
Sitting on the table, his legs kept swaying, pouting, and complaining to a strong young man in front of him.
"Niece Lin, I'm here, I haven't come out to greet you yet!"
Before the young woman could refute the words of the young man, she heard an extremely familiar voice outside the hall, and suddenly a smile appeared on the girl's face, and she jumped off the table and looked out the door.
"Master, you're here. ”
The girl directly ignored Huo Lao, who was standing in front of her with her arms outstretched, and with a flash of elegance, she flashed directly past Huo Lao, came to Yao Lao, and threw herself into Yao Lao's arms.
"Hey, Niece Lin, are you ignoring me like that?"
Turning his head to look at the girl who was full of smiles in Yao Lao's arms, Huo Lao put down his arm slightly embarrassed, came to Yao Lao's side, looked at the girl, and said dissatisfied.
"Hee-hee, Uncle Fire is good. ”
Hearing the dissatisfied voice in her ears, the girl raised her head and grinned, stuck out her tongue mischievously at the fire elder, and then a pleasant voice sounded and said to the fire elder.
"How many times have I said it, I am your fire master, called fire master. ”
"Hmph, no. Master, let's go inside. ”
The girl snorted, twisted her nimble little head, and pulled Yao Lao towards the hall. As for Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang beside them, they were completely ignored.
Lu Feng and Huo Lao glanced at each other, and the embarrassment was silent, and then the three of them followed Yao Lao and the girl into the hall together. The prime man hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Brother Yao, Brother Huo, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
"Brother Lin, don't come to harm's way, I'll bother you again. ”
Seeing that the prime man stepped forward to greet him, Yao Lao also hurriedly returned the salute. After everyone took their seats at the signal of the prime man, the prime man noticed Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang, so he asked Yao Lao suspiciously.
"Yao Lao, I don't know who these two young heroes are?"
Hearing the doubts of the prime of life, the girl's eyes also fell on Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Brother Lin, these two are my best friends, and I was entrusted by my friend to bring two of my nephews to Water Night City to see if there is a chance to enter the sage ruins. ”
Yao Lao did not reveal the true identities of Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang, it was not that he did not trust the person in front of him, but that the Lin family had a big business, and it was inevitable that there would be many people, and it would not be good for the Lin family if his identity was revealed. Hearing Yao Lao's introduction, Lu Feng immediately understood Yao Lao's thoughts. He cast a grateful glance at Yao Lao.
"This is Lin Hongzhou, the head of the Lin family, and this is Lin Qiao'er, the eldest lady of the Lin family, who is also my apprentice, you young people can have a good exchange. ”
Yao Lao did not take the initiative to introduce the names of Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang, Lu Feng's real name can be known by someone who is interested in Lu Feng's identity as soon as he investigates, so Yao Lao wants Lu Feng to say it himself. After Yao Lao introduced Lin Hongzhou and Lin Qiao'er, Lu Feng immediately stood up and said to Lin Hongzhou modestly.
"Junior, Lu Chen, this is Junior's senior brother Sun Yang, who has seen the head of the Lin family and Miss Lin. ”
Lu Feng knew that Sun Shengyang didn't like this kind of occasion, and he was too lazy to introduce it, so he directly introduced Sun Shengyang's name by the way.
"It turned out to be Lu Shaoxia and Sun Shaoxia, since they are the apprentices of Yao Lao's friends, then it is good to treat this as if this is their own home, no need to be restrained, just feel free. ”
Lin Hongzhou raised his hand with a smile on his face, signaling Lu Feng to be casual. Lu Feng felt that Lin Hongzhou's smile was full of kindness, and there was no disguise or falsehood in it. Lu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Calculate the time, there are a few days before the sage relics will be opened, I don't know what do you need my Lin family to do?"
Lin Hongzhou turned his gaze back to Yao Lao and Huo Lao, although Lin Hongzhou didn't have any opinion on Lu Feng, but after all, with the strength of Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang, the two middle-level Xuan Kings, Lin Hongzhou couldn't get Lin Hongzhou's attention.
"It's not a secret, the old man wanted to be cheeky and wanted to borrow the Lin family's Aoki mask when he came this time. ”
"Aoki mask? This is a trivial matter, I'll have someone give it later, but I don't know what the use of the medicine old man needs the Aoki mask?"
Hearing Yao Lao's request, Lin Hongzhou's brows furrowed slightly, it was not that he was reluctant to accept the so-called Aoki mask, but he was a little curious about what Yao Lao needed the mask for.
"My two nephews were enemies of the Netherworld Sect not long ago, and the Netheryin Sect suffered a lot of losses, so when the saint relics are opened, the Netheryin Sect will probably not give up. ”
"I see, since you are an enemy of the Netherworld Sect, then my Lin family will cover you, in the Water Night Empire, I see who dares to trouble you. Someone, go get two high-quality Aoki masks. ”
Lin Hongzhou touched his chin, nodded knowingly, and turned his gaze to Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang, at this moment Lin Hongzhou's eyes revealed a slightly more formal look.
Not to mention anything else, daring to go against the behemoth of the Netheryin Sect, and also causing the Netheryin Sect to lose a lot, this kind of courage deserves Lin Hongzhou's respect. Lin Hongzhou commanded loudly outside the hall.
At this moment, Lin Qiao'er, who was originally quiet on the side, also looked at Lu Feng curiously, looking at Lu Feng's not burly figure, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a scholar, and he actually dared to go against the Yin Yin Sect, which made Lin Qiao'er even more curious about Lu Feng.
"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, this time the saint ruins, the little girl will also enter, and I hope the two young heroes will take care of it when the time comes. ”
After the order, Lin Hongzhou said solemnly to Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang. Lu Feng was also curious, but he didn't expect Lin Qiao'er to actually enter it. However, feeling the high-level strength of King Lin Qiao'er, Lu Feng also smiled helplessly.
"Master Lin, I see Miss Lin's cultivation above us, and I still don't dare to take care of it. ”
Lu Feng's words made his status in Lin Hongzhou's heart even heavier, Lu Feng was able to see Lin Qiao'er's true cultivation at a glance with the middle-level cultivation of King Xuan, this was not a simple matter. At the very least, Lu Feng's spiritual cultivation should be above Lin Qiao'er's cultivation.
"Hmph, who wants to let him take care of it, just a fourfold Xuan King, I don't know who will help whom. ”
Hearing that Lin Hongzhou asked two strangers whose strength was lower than him to take care of him, Lin Qiao'er was suddenly unhappy, snorted, raised his right hand that clenched his fist lightly, and pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
