Chapter 24: The Ten Masters of Xianmen
CHAPTER XXIV
Changlin grabbed the rope and pulled Ah Sheng up from the water.
"Hahaha, Ah Sheng, I love you so much-" De'an hugged Ah Sheng and shouted excitedly: "I said that when you make a boat, you have to let Senior Brother Changlin dig some holes in the bottom of the boat, and you have to fill in the stones." I wondered if it would increase the weight of the ship, and if the bottom of the ship broke, our ship would sink. I didn't expect you to expect such a situation-"
Ah Sheng looked back and saw that Changgui's boat had completely sunk, and several of them were struggling in the turbulent current, sinking and floating, waiting for rescue.
"When I was a child, one of my uncles took me to the river to catch fish—" Ah Sheng wiped the water droplets on his face and said lightly, "We will tie stones to our bodies and then dive into the water." That way, it allows us to move better underwater. When it's time to get up, we just need to untie the stone, and we can float quickly—"
"So I thought, our boat, it's wooden. Even if the stone is embedded, as long as there is space in the cabin, it can float. And even if the ship is broken, as long as the stones are removed, we still won't sink. But what if we need to sink down?"
"The most important thing is that no matter how turbulent the surface of the water is, it is much calmer underneath—"
Listening to Ah Sheng's words, Changlin and the others were all shocked.
"The ship was wrecked, and by the weight of the stones, it sank into the water. Not only did he pass through the canopy safely, but he also caught him off guard, chiseled their boat thoroughly, and then removed the stones, borrowed the buoyancy of the wood, floated out of the water, and killed him in one fell swoop!
This move is simply a stroke of genius.
Everyone thought it was a desperate situation, but it was reversed by Ah Sheng.
"Alright, stand in your position, Sailiu is only a third of the way. Later, it will be even more difficult-" Changlin said in a deep voice.
Everyone cheered up.
The boat went down the river, and with the concerted efforts of the four people, they really completed the entire Liuyun River race and successfully reached the finish line.
However, their strength was limited, and although Ah Sheng and the others completed the competition, they failed to rank in the top ten and did not get the opportunity to enter Yunze.
However, they are one of the few teams that have completed the entire stream. The whole team was satisfied.
"Actually, I think it's more refreshing to be able to teach that Changgui a good lesson than to enter Yunze!"
"It's a pity that they were rescued in the end, and it would be nice if they drowned—" Gu Feng said in a low voice.
In this regard, Ah Sheng deeply agreed and nodded again and again.
Changlin smiled slightly, and said lightly: "This race, for me, the meaning is far more than that. Ah Sheng, you made me understand a truth, strength is not only reflected in Taoism. As long as the method is right, defeating the strong with the weak is not impossible. ”
"Yes, you can subdue the Little Eagle King, save us from the mouth of the Blackhorned Giant Jiao, and turn defeat into victory in the desperate situation of the race. The point is that you've only been getting started for a few months. Ah Sheng, others say that you are stupid, but what do I think, you kid has unlimited potential-" Dean said with a smile.
Ah Sheng had never received so much praise, and he was a little shy for a while, he scratched his head, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Ah Sheng's appearance, Changlin and the others immediately laughed.
Back to Broken Yao Peak, Chang Lin told everyone about the process of the race, everyone was extremely excited, and the entire Broken Yao Peak was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere.
Seeing the smiling faces of the apprentices, Lu Zhenting and his wife couldn't be happy.
When the couple returned to the room, Lu Zhenting asked in a deep voice, "Auntie, is what you said true?"
"It's confirmed. Ah Yu nodded, with tears in her eyes, she choked up and said, "Among the ten masters, four have defected." Rather than be born, it is in it. ”
"What kind of organization is that 'new'? can make so many genius masters defect for it. Lu Zhenting hated it.
Wu Ningsheng is the most outstanding disciple in the inner sect of the Yunxiao Sect, with outstanding talents, and he has reached the realm of heaven and man before the age of forty. His strength is also outstanding among the new generation of disciples of the entire Ten Immortal Sects.
A few years ago, the top ten immortals held a big competition and selected the ten masters of the immortals. Ningsheng ranked third, but his age was the youngest of the ten masters.
The late Sect Master had always regarded him as his pride and the successor of the Cloud Sky Sect.
But such a person was confirmed that he took advantage of the critical period of the sect master's retreat to secretly kill and betray the Yunxiao Sect.
This move puzzled everyone, because they couldn't think of the motive for defecting.
And the saddest thing about this is none other than Grandma. Because she and Wu Ningsheng grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for Lu Zhenting's sudden appearance and capture her heart, she would most likely marry Wu Ningsheng.
"My mother said that it may not be accidental that she would rather defect. From the very beginning, his entry into our Cloud Heaven Sect may have been a premeditated conspiracy. Ah Yu said in a deep voice.
"Ah, since then?" Lu Zhenting was shocked and said in disbelief: "At that time, he was only four or five years old, right? But how-"
Ah Wei shook her head, tears couldn't stop falling, and said sadly: "This is also the most incomprehensible thing for me——"
Lu Zhenting was speechless for a long time, and sighed in a condensed voice: "Of the ten masters of Xianmen, four have defected. The forces behind this 'new' are really terrifying. Could it be that they really want to be the enemy of the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm?"
Ah Yu got up and looked out the window, she thought for a long time, and said to Lu Zhenting: "Zhenting, I plan to leave the Yunxiao Sect and go through the world." ”
"Huh, what are you doing in the world?" asked Lu Zhenting, puzzled.
"I'm going to investigate the 'new' organization, and I can't let them do what they want. Ah Yu said in a condensed voice.
Lu Zhenting grabbed Ah Yan's shoulder and said loudly: "Didn't the Ten Immortal Sects set up a joint investigation team? They just went to investigate, what are you going to do? You, you, I understand, you are going to find Wu Ningsheng, aren't you?"
Ah Yu did not speak, and replaced her answer with silence.
"What are you looking for him? Let's not say whether you can find him, and even if you do, what can you do? You want to get him back? You want revenge? Are you his opponent?" Lu Zhenting shouted loudly.
Ah Yan's tears rained down, she leaned tightly into Lu Zhenting's arms, and shouted sadly: "I want to ask him why he did that." I'm going to ask him why he killed my father. ”
