Chapter 296: Outer Demon Gate
In the hall of the ship, Bai Zhi and Zhang Shanshui sat in the corner and did not raise their eyes, but they could also have an overview of the entire hall from here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
After a while, accustomed to seeing the scenery and eating hot food, many guests chose to return to their rooms, because the cold temperature would only last for half a day, and the merchant ships did not provide any hot blankets and braziers, but there were spirits, but unfortunately they cost money.
At this time, there were only the last few tables of people in the hall of the building, and they were in groups of three or five, each saying this, drinking wine, talking and laughing, and it seemed that they were not one at all.
After sending the proprietress away, Zhang Shanshui asked, "Little Brother Bai, did you find anything weird?" โ
"Sort of, but the other party is not here for us, wait and see...... Anyway, running the rivers and lakes is to join in the fun, there is excitement, don't look at the white, don't watch it. Bai Zhi made it clear that he wanted to watch the play, and he didn't mean to explain, Zhang Shanshui could only press his curiosity and continue to wait.
He looked down the hall and took in the eyes.
There are three young people on a table, one is a Yu Xuanang, a lupine scarf, no sword, giving people a kind of elegant scholar scolding Fang Xuan's military teacher bearing, one has a strict complexion, the saber is placed on the side of Zhuo, the eyes are cruel, like a vulture, one is dressed in fancy clothes, red clothes and red crowns, jewelry, the sword around the waist is also extremely luxurious, inlaid with gems and pearls, but even the number of times out of the sheath is only a handful, there is not a single scratch, giving people a sense of vulgarity.
And although the three young people sat together, they looked like they were not very familiar, the first two could still talk to each other, and the latter was completely full of words, talking non-stop, but his eyes kept looking at the table next to him.
On the second table is a pair of master and servant, a woman is wearing a black dress and a black skirt, there is a guqin on the table, antique, she is covered with black veil, she can't see how her face is, but her body is soft, she is a beauty embryo, behind the woman is an old woman, without saying a word, looking old, full of wrinkles, but in fact, the pace is steady, her eyes are introverted and shining, not to mention the skill of a jiazi.
The man in red peeked at the woman in black, and the woman didn't care much about the man in red's gaze, just drinking tea, looking at Jiang Xue's bleaching, as if she had something worried, and frowned slightly.
At the third table is a thick man, he **** one arm, the other arm is covered under the sleeve robe, the muscles of the whole body are like a dragon, and he is carrying a dragon slashing knife behind his back, which is extremely heavy, but he seems to be light, and he doesn't care about the weight of a hundred catties on his shoulders.
There were only two small dishes on his table, but there were five or six wine jugs, he was a drunkard, a few catties of liquor were poisoned, his face was not red, his expression was wild, and he didn't care about the eyes of others at all.
At the fourth table were four men, dressed differently, businessmen, chivalrous guests, travelers, they ordered a lot of food, but they never moved, just drinking, whether they were talking or laughing, their voices were very subtle, and even many times they only saw their lips moving but no sound came, it seemed that they were transmitting the sound into the secret, silently communicating something, their eyes swept over a few people in the hall, and they couldn't see the thoughts.
Several sailors on deck also sensed that something was wrong, and they exchanged glances.
"You go and inform the owner and inform them of the ......," the leader said in a low voice.
"Boss, nothing will happen......"
"How do my grandmothers know that this group of Jianghu people can do anything." The man secretly scolded bad luck, although these sailors are good, but after all, they are just ordinary people, as soon as the heroes of the rivers and lakes fight, his hundreds of catties of meat are not enough to fill, and they are useless...... If it's a water bandit or something, it's just that, these entanglements in the rivers and lakes are the most troublesome.
Speaking of water bandits, there are many large and small gangs in the waterways of the Tang Dynasty, and they will charge merchants and be responsible for protecting them all the way, after all, there is no shortage of bandits in any era.
In the Yangtze River Basin, there are no water bandits who dare to run rampant, so the chambers of commerce don't like to invite gangs, and if they appear, this group of sailors is also a group of men who are well versed in water...... But if it's the Jianghu people who are on the side, then forget it.
"It's interesting." Bai Zhi picked up a piece of pork liver and paid attention to the movements in the hall distractedly: "A group of people have their own ghosts, some have lustful hearts, some have resentments, some work hard for money, and some are dedicated to drinking. โ
"If this is going to be a fight, maybe we will have to change ships later." Zhang Shanshui sighed: "Once a martial artist in the acquired realm makes a move, he will generally not be able to control the scene, and this ship will be destroyed nine times out of ten......"
"Are you so sure they're acquired?" Bai Zhi asked with a smile.
"The man with the knife, the man with the knife on his back, and the old woman, I can't feel how much their strength is at the bottom line." Zhang Shanshui said solemnly: "The day after tomorrow is just a metaphor, and it is more likely that it is...... Innate! โ
"Keep watching, it's not a big deal to be innate." Bai Zhi smiled slightly.
In the midst of the scene, there was a conversation at the tables.
"Brother Yang, why are you worried?" The man in white asked with a smile.
"Brother Ye, don't you know, although you are in the middle of the wandering, you still maintain a deficit childlike heart, and it is difficult to see a beautiful woman who falls in love at first sight." The man in red sighed and said, "I thought I would be so adrift in my life, but I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful woman here." โ
The black-clothed man with the knife twitched slightly, glanced at the woman in black, and a slight sneer appeared on his expression: "Beauty? Heh......"
"Brother Ji Nan, don't believe it, I can guarantee ......" The man in red lowered his voice and said, "She is definitely a rare beauty." โ
The man in white surnamed Ye smiled: "I believe your speculation, but some things in the world are not as simple as they seem, Brother Yang, listen to my advice, it is better for you to be a wanderer." โ
"Although the romance is good, it's a pity that the world is big, but there is no place for me." The man surnamed Yang pretended to sigh and said: "It's rare to fall in love at first sight, and there may not be this opportunity in the future." โ
"I don't think you have that chance today." Ji Nan put down the teacup and replied coldly.
"What do you mean......" The man in red was about to ask when he heard a loud shout.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere changed abruptly.
The four-person man who had been suppressed for a long time couldn't bear it, and a man dressed as a vendor looked at him coldly and said, "Demon girl, it's big and underground today, you can't run away!" โ
When the words fell, the four of them had been together for a long time, but they still decided to do it, regardless of the reaction of the others, they set off one after another, blocking the entrance and exit of the Lou Ship Hall, blocking the retreat of the woman in black and the old woman.
"You've been following for seven days, changing into more than a dozen outfits, and finally have the courage to do it today?" The ethereal voice of the woman in black sounded, like a wind chime, with a seductive tone, but also with a cold slaughter.
"Humph! Bluff, if you have already found out, why don't you run! The man at the head snorted coldly.
"You're ...... Give me a reason to run away. The cold eyes of the woman in black swept over the four of them, and she said lightly: "The day after tomorrow is sevenfold, the day after tomorrow is eightfold, the day after tomorrow is ninefold, and the half-step congenital ...... Heh......"
She didn't say anything, just a bland word that vividly expressed her disdain.
"Arrogance! Don't think I don't know you're injured, and you can't play 30% of your skills! And the old woman next to you, she's just an ordinary congenital, I see how long she can protect you under siege! The man sneered back.
"Wait!" The man in red couldn't help it, stood up, and planned to heroically save the United States.
"Huh? Which green onion are you? The vendor man said coldly: "It's okay to get out of the way!" โ
"I'm not a green onion! I, Yang Feng, am a tourist in the rivers and lakes, do the four brothers have any misunderstanding with this girl? The man in red said sincerely: "I am willing to explain the matter for you, resolve the hatred, and settle the grievances...... They are all people from the rivers and lakes, there is nothing to say, can you ......?"
Before the words fell, the man picked up a kettle and smashed it: "Get out!" โ
The woman in black glanced at him and sighed, as if to say, 'There is such a strange thing in this world'.
"Okay, don't be ashamed!" Ji Nan couldn't stand it anymore, pulled him back, and said in a low voice: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid, you don't know what kind of dangerous person this woman is?" โ
"What dangerous person?" Yang Feng looked confused.
"She is a veritable demon girl, one of the outer demon sects of the Ming Sect, currently ranked second on the list, it is better to be famous than to meet, I really didn't expect to meet here." The man in white surnamed Ye was quite emotional.
"Mingjiao, Holy Maiden?" Bai Zhi was puzzled.
"The Outer Dao Demon Sect is also known as the Outer Nine Dao, and they have a total of ten sects, which are between the sect and the sect, stronger than the sect and weaker than the sect...... The Outer Nine Dao generally does not exist in the Central Plains, and is frequently active in remote areas such as the Southern Desert, the Northern Grassland, and the 100,000 Mountains. The most important thing is that the Outer Nine Dao is not recognized by decent people, it is regarded as an evil way, once it appears, rats cross the street and everyone shouts and beats them, they act perversely and quirky, and there are many despised cultivation methods, in short, they are decent sworn enemies. Zhang Shanshui explained.
Bai Zhi suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a villain, that's it, there are always some people in the huge rivers and lakes who like to be villains and make some big things." โ
He then asked, "What the hell is that Mingjiao Holy Maiden?" โ
"Hmm...... She's not a ghost, who she is, right in front of you. Zhang Shanshui glanced at the woman in the black dress, and replied slightly nervously: "Mingjiao is one of the outer nine sects, and it is also a strong one, because of the suppression of the six sects, only three of the current outer nine sects are still vigorous, and the other few have gradually fallen into loneliness and are not in the eyes of the law." Mingjiao is a sect formed by the remnants of the previous dynasty, vainly trying to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and rebuild the country...... They are the most deeply involved in Datang, and they are also the most threatening forces, not only are they hunted down by the integrity of the rivers and lakes, but the government has even released a wanted warrant on the surface. โ
Zhang Shanshui glanced at the four men and said, "They should have come for these bounties, after all, the head of the Ming Sect Holy Maiden can guarantee that they will be high-ranking officials and dignitaries in their lives, and they will rise to prominence......"
"Sure enough, it's still this old-fashioned script." Bai Zhi lay on the table, feeling slightly bored.
As she was talking, there was already tension in the scene, and the woman in the black dress glanced at the man surnamed Ye, and said coldly: "The thirteenth person on the list, Ye Wuxiu." โ
The man in white returned the salute with a jealous smile: "Exactly, it is the honor of Wansheng to make the Holy Maiden of Mingjiao remember Xiaosheng's name...... However, can we sell our little life to save face and let the three of us leave like this? โ
ps1: Say something, all book friends should know that the results of this book are very poor and very poor, and the collection of a million words is more than a thousand, for any author, it is a desperate achievement, and it is normal for unfinished eunuchs to open new pits, and it is almost impossible to get any way of profit, and the subscription money will definitely not be eaten. So, I'm not going to make a dime out of this book, not a dime.
PS2: I opened a new book on Bookke, and the results are much better than this book...... So the book will be kept in a state of changing every day...... I myself write two chapters at a time every two days, otherwise my thoughts will be broken.
PS3: Seeing this, do you think I'm going to release the 'Eunuch Declaration' after selling miserably again? That's impossible...... This book is my own son, no matter what, it will be finished, no matter how bad it is, no matter how spicy the chicken, I will insist on finishing it - saying so much, mainly because I saw the tips of several book friends...... I feel a little unnecessary.
ps4: I said it's free, then it's free, I won't ask for a dime, you reward is a kind of heart, I will take the heart, but don't continue to reward the starting point currency on this book...... To be honest, even the reward of 18888 is not as comfortable as a book review, and it is a great support for me to be idle, pour water, and sign in...... It is a habit for any author to flip through the book review section.
PS5: Of course...... If you really feel that there is no better way to express your heart than rewarding...... Then give a tip, but please smash another book on Happy Bookmaker, here at the starting point...... I really doubt it didn't give me a dime in the tip,_(:ะทใโ )_
ps6: paragraph: "What's the point of not getting my heart, getting my person?" โ
"It's enough for me to get your people, what's the use of your heart?"
"Get My Heart, Unlock More Poses ......"
