Chapter 256: The Great Ugly Yuanzong
The Bone Soul's tone was slightly strange, "How do I know." ”
Ding Qin was already a little surprised by the recent abnormality of the bone soul. Probably since he left the Chenli Sect, he often behaved abnormally, as if he had something on his mind.
As the ship got closer, it was clear that the land was indeed a large island.
Or, this is defined in terms of a small continent, which should be more accurate.
As he approached, Ding Qin found that this was the most prosperous island he had seen in a while.
On the coast is a large harbor, in which moored ships, no less than hundred.
Although these ships were large and small, none of the islands he passed through could compare with them.
When Ding Qin's ship was ready to dock, there were no vigilant boats coming out to greet him, and it seemed to be more like a free island.
The ironclad boat slowly approached the shore, and Ding Qin dropped anchor and jumped off the ship.
There are many people coming and going on the wharf, most of them carrying seafood down from fishing boats. It can be seen that fishing is one of the main livelihoods in this area.
In addition, some of the larger ships, apparently merchant ships, employed groups of workers to unload boxes of cargo from the ships.
After standing on the dock for a while, Ding Qin suddenly had a feeling that he had finally returned to civilized society.
Following the whereabouts of these people, Ding Qin followed for a while, and then arrived at a large trading market. The market is full of people, very lively, and all kinds of goods are also selling well.
Ding Qin observed that this was not bartering. They used a special currency, which was supposed to be made of what metal, but they couldn't tell it directly.
Just as he was about to ask about Chou Yuan Sect, Ding Qin saw two people walking in the distance, with the word Chou Yuan written on their clothes.
Could it be that this is the Ugly Yuan Sect?
Ding Qin was slightly happy in his heart and greeted him directly.
As they walked, the two men pointed their swords at the stalls. Each stall owner would put on a flattering look and put some money in their hats.
This...... Is a management fee being charged?
While observing, Ding Qin had already walked in front of the two people, "Two brothers." ”
The two were suddenly blocked by Ding Qin, first stunned, and then the slightly older one said impatiently, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way, it's okay, I'm busy here." ”
Ding Qin smiled, "Dare to ask the two eldest brothers, but are they from the Ugly Yuan Sect?"
The older one looked Ding Qin up and down again, and asked, "What? Aren't we written on our clothes? Do you still need to ask? What do I mean by saying you kid, if you have something to say, you can let it go, if you want to smash the field, you will stand aside, save your life!"
Could it be that the Ugly Yuan Sect is so arrogant? This is a completely different concept from the Chen Li Sect.
Ding Qin had doubts in his heart, but he didn't say it, he still greeted him with a smile, "In Xia Ding Qin, I came from far away from the sea, and I want to meet the sect master of the Chou Yuan Sect for something, I don't know if the two of you can recommend it?"
"Meet the sect master?" The older man looked at Ding Qin with suspicion in his eyes, "What are you doing?"
Ding Qin said, "My elder has some connections with the Chou Yuan Sect, so I came here to meet him, and it can be regarded as verifying some past matters." ”
"Go, go, don't talk to me here. When the older one heard this, he directly flicked Ding Qin to the side with his sword, "I want to see the sect master to see it myself, don't get in the way of our eyes here, go and go." ”
Ding Qin felt a little incomprehensible, but instead of arguing with these two people, he stepped aside and let them go.
The two of them collected the money for a while, and when they turned around and saw that Ding Qin was still following them, they immediately reluctant, "Hey, I said you, do you want to find trouble? Get out of under our brothers' noses, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
Ding Qin frowned. He didn't know why these two people had such an attitude.
However, in this place, he is not familiar with life, and he doesn't want to fight as soon as he comes up. Laughing apologetically, Ding Qin turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
The two of them watched Ding Qin disappear into the crowd before muttering, "Where is the person, you have to see the sect master when you open your mouth." This sect master, is it something he can see casually?"
A little younger, he said, "I think, let's go back and report first." What if it really has something to do with the sect master? The temper of the sect master, once the anger starts, neither of us can bear it. ”
The older one thought about it, seemed to think that it made sense, took a few more money, carefully observed the surroundings, and left the market with the younger one, and headed straight north.
After they walked out of the distance, Ding Qin walked out of the crowd. It seems that the anti-reconnaissance capabilities of these two people are not good.
The two walked north along the road for more than ten miles, and then branched off from a small road to the east, and after walking for another five or six miles, they saw a mountain villa surrounded by trees in front of them. The size of the villa is not large, but theoretically, it should not be a problem to live for 100 people.
At the gate of the villa, two people were on duty. The two collectors paused at the door and went in, leaving only the guy on duty, yawning while shaking his neck.
The gate is still magnificent, but it doesn't look old at all. Under the eaves of the gate, there is a plaque with four big characters written on it: Da Chou Yuanzong.
This...... Is this really the Chouyuan Sect? An ancient sect that is located not far from the downtown area, and has built a mountain villa openly?
Ding Qin was very surprised. But looking back, if you deliberately hide people's eyes and ears and turn the organization of Nuoda into such a small mountain villa, it is also possible.
After the two men went in, they didn't come out again. Ding Qin observed for a while and found that there were also disciples who went out to collect medicine with medicine baskets on their backs.
After hesitating for a while, Ding Qin tidied up his clothes and walked towards the gate very calmly. Less than twenty meters away from the gate, the two guards on duty greeted them and stopped them with both hands, "Stop!
Ding Qin bowed slightly, "May I ask the two of you, this is the Ugly Yuan Sect?"
One of the guards raised his eyebrows and pointed behind him, "Aren't you literate? This is not the Ugly Yuan Sect, is it still the Dollar Sect?"
Hearing this name, Ding Qin burst out laughing. He took a deep breath, "The two brothers are really humorous. ”
"What a silent humor. One of them didn't have a good attitude, "What are you doing? If there is nothing to do, leave immediately, disturbing the purity of our sect, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
Ding Qin didn't hide anything, "My surname is Ding Mingqin, and I want to see the sect master of your sect." ”
"See the Sect Master?" a man on duty smiled, "Did you bring a gift?
Ding Qin was puzzled, "Do you want to meet the sect master?"
"That's that, that's. How can such a noble person as the sect master say that he can see it? This is the normal condition of human beings. Tell you, the meeting gift is not less than a thousand dollars, and the sect master will not be seen. In addition, don't forget, it's our brother who will report it, and generally, you have to pay a little benefit. The man on duty smiled a little obscenely, like a little gangster.
For this kind of person, Ding Qin actually doesn't have a good feeling. However, after all, he had a request for others, and he was not good for a while.
Seeing that Ding Qin didn't speak, the man on duty said again, "Brother, are you not rich enough?" Otherwise, our brothers are also soft-hearted, for the sake of mutual understanding, help you be accommodating, what do you think? Of course, this has to understand each other, we understand that you are far away, and you also have to understand our difficulty, understand." ”
This person insisted on understanding vigorously, and Ding Qin certainly knew what he was implying about. After thinking about it, he took out the two jade pendants that he had originally kept from the Lingna stone belt, "I came from afar, and I really don't have any money on your island. However, there is something to carry with you, so let's give it to the two brothers. If the two of you can help accommodate you, I would be grateful. ”
The two took the jade and looked at it carefully for a while, and one of them said, "Well, it seems that the little brother's heart is still quite sincere." Okay, I'm going to report it. ”
Ding Qin smiled. He suddenly felt that it was a bit of a loss to give things to these two people.
But when he thought about the news that he might be able to exchange two pieces of jade for his mother, he couldn't help but feel relieved again.
After waiting for a while, the person who reported came out from inside, "Brother, the sect master has an invitation, please come with me." ”
So fast? So simple?
Didn't you just return the greeting gift or something?
With doubts, Ding Qin followed the man into the villa.
As a result, as soon as he entered, the situation inside the villa was completely different from what he thought.
He thought that the villa should be finely arranged and the landscape was lovely, but who knows, but it was a mess.
There are only half of the trees left in the different styles of houses, and some of them are like leftovers of buildings, which are in stark contrast to the courtyard wall outside.
What kind of villa is this, this is clearly a broken village.
The one who led the way didn't say much, and went all the way to the rear, where there was a larger two-story house. At the door of the room, there were also two people on duty, and the one who led the way said twice, and then brought Ding Qin in.
After entering, there is a hall. On the main seat of the hall, there was a man in his thirties and forties, and a woman in his thirties on the left and right, rubbing her shoulders.
Seeing Ding Qin come in, he put his right leg on the arm of the chair, tilted his head, looked up and down, and said, "I heard, you want to see me?"
Ding Qin frowned involuntarily.
Is this really the sect master of the Ugly Yuan Sect?
I don't think it looks like it.
Could it be that this ugly Yuan Sect has been disguised to this extent?
If it's really a disguise, this person shouldn't be the sect master, at most he can be regarded as the sect master's agent, right?
Although he was skeptical, Ding Qin still nodded, "That's right." In Xia Ding Qin, I want to ask the sect master for advice. ”
"Hahahaha. The sect master raised his head and laughed, raised his hands, and motioned for the two women to stop massaging. "Excuse me, then let me ask you first, do you know that you now have five deadly sins?"
The Five Deadly Sins?
Ding Qin was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he clenched his fists, "Please make it clear to the sect master." ”
