Chapter 511: Penglai Immortal Mountain
Because it was a night out of the sea, Chen Jing didn't stay in this hall for long.
Here, even if he has a little friendship with Chen Minghan, he still seems out of place in general.
Chen Minghan, as the first person of the Ming generation, is praised wherever he goes. And Chen Jing's stay here has become the most stark contrast.
So, after a few drinks, he said he was tired, and went back to his room.
This steamer, unlike a passenger liner, is a specially modified or specially built private steamer.
Each room is large and has its own bathroom and a small private balcony.
Open the door of the balcony, and on the small balcony, there is a chaise longue, a table, and two chairs.
Sit here and enjoy the endless sea view.
"I don't see much at night. ”
As soon as Chen Jing walked to the balcony and sat on the recliner, he heard a voice from the small balcony next door.
He knew that it was Chen Mingxiu.
Chen Mingxiu doesn't like to gather crowds to jubilant, and he was also the one who left relatively early just now.
"Interested in catching a fish together?" he suddenly suggested.
Chen Jing stood up and looked at him: "Can you move around at will?"
"Hehe, of course we can, we're here to compete, and we're not prisoners, so why can't we just walk around at will. It's just that, according to the rules, you must not disturb others. So, as long as you do the word quiet, it's okay. ”
"That's fine. ”
Chen Jing was also not sleepy.
Chen Mingxiu seems to have specially prepared for this, and in his salute, he specially brought a few pairs of sky-high fishing rods.
Chen Jing followed him to the stern side.
The ship was moving very fast, and the waves behind the stern rolled like a storm, creating a circle of white ripples.
"At this speed, you can also fish?" Chen Jing smiled.
"Why not? The fish in the sea are much easier to catch than the fish in the freshwater lakes and rivers. Besides, fishing is just for the sake of atmosphere, and it's not really rare to see those few fish. Chen Mingxiu said gently.
That seems to be true. ”
After fishing for a while, Chen Jing suddenly saw a huge steamer following hundreds of meters away, so he asked, "Which family is that?"
"Ten Thousand Stars Alliance. ”
"Why does the Ten Thousand Star Alliance also want to participate in the Peerless Alliance?"
"The Wanxing Alliance was picked up by the Seven Great Families, and over the years, it has done a lot of things for the Seven Great Families. It has long been recognized as the eighth largest force, so it is naturally qualified to participate. ”
"I'm not talking about qualifications, but compared to the seven great families, after all, their background is too poor. I've heard that the Peerless Alliance will participate in the forces, and every time you participate, you have to take out 10 spirit stones as an admission ticket. This spirit stone is not a small amount, even if the Ten Thousand Star Alliance participates, the chance of being able to win the championship is also very small. So, isn't it tantamount to them making a loss-making deal when they go to participate in the Peerless Alliance?"
10 spirit stones is not much for Chen Jing today.
But for the Seven Families, it is highly likely to be the total production of a whole year. And even more.
And the Ten Thousand Star Alliance, the background is worse than that of the seven great families, and their spirit stones are even more hard-won.
It is obviously not wise to participate in such a high-risk and low-reward matchless alliance.
"They're just trying to get a name. Although it does seem to be a loss-making deal on the surface, as long as they participate again and again, then with the passage of time, the future Seven Great Families may slowly regard the Wanxing Alliance as an equal existence with themselves. But if he doesn't participate, then in the eyes of the Seven Great Families, he will always be just a slave character. The meaning of this is still different. ”
Chen Jing suddenly realized.
It's like playing cards, if you keep standing behind someone else and watching the game, then no matter what your identity is, at least in the eyes of outsiders, you are a bag boy.
Only when you can sit at the table and play cards with the big guys, then in the eyes of outsiders, the distance between you and them can be narrowed.
Don't think that outsiders' eyes are anything! This kind of thing is also very powerful.
After listening to Chen Mingxiu's words, Chen Jing also understood that the leader of the Wanxing Alliance was taking a long move.
"Lord Xie is indeed a character, I once heard the patriarch say that if he is a descendant of a certain family, then he must have been a tyrant long ago. And the achievement will also be above any of the patriarchs of the Seven Great Families. ”
"This is highly rated. ”
"Actually, I think it's very pertinent. Master Xie Meng's background is similar to yours, there is no family to rely on, he started from scratch and fought such a world, I have to say, it is very powerful. ”
"With such a powerful Lao Tzu, his son Xie Pei has not inherited his advantages at all. Chen Jing said.
"Xie Pei, the one who died at your hands, right?" Chen Mingxiu smiled slightly.
Chen Jing also smiled, not denying it, but also not admitting it.
"In fact, Xie Pei died in the Huangpu River, and that was the first time you fought Zhang Lide. This matter has long been known to the leader of the Xie League. But because you are the identity of the Chen family, and Xie Pei is also at fault first, he can't settle accounts with you. ”
Chen Mingxiu slowed down a little, and then continued: "But Xie Pei can only be regarded as the most uncompetitive son of the Xie League Master. Xie Mengzhu has a total of 7 sons, Xie Pei is the seventh, and there are six elder brothers before him, all of whom are far superior to him. This time, there will also be those who will participate in the Wushuang Alliance, including the sixth son Xie Jin. He's also a great character. ”
"If you go out a little more, it's the high seas, right?"
"At this point, it should already be on the high seas. But the position of the Musou League has not yet arrived, don't worry. ”
"And a special location?"
"Of course, that place is not an ordinary place. There used to be an island there, but it sank. I heard the seniors of the clan say that the island is the island of immortals. You should have heard of Xianshan Penglai, right?"
"I've heard of it, and there is also a place called Penglai on the coast of our country. ”
"This Penglai is not the other Penglai, how can the two be the same thing? This immortal mountain Penglai has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that it was a place where the immortals lived.
As the stars moved to the sea, I don't know what era it began to sink into the depths of the sea, and no one could enter it.
It's just that every year at a special time, this place will emit a very special feeling.
A long time ago, almost all Qi Refiners would come here to try their luck at that special time to see if they could enter Penglai Immortal Island.
But it is a pity that from the Qin Dynasty to the present, no one has entered Penglai Immortal Island.
Later, the reason why the Seven Great Families chose the venue of the Wushuang Alliance in the old site of Penglai was also to try their luck. Although the opportunity is slim, there is still such a luxury in everyone's hearts. ”
"So that's the case, the Penglai Sikong family among the seven great families, do they have anything to do with Penglai Immortal Mountain?"
"The legend has a little relationship, it is said that the ancient ancestor of today's Penglai Sikong family, a long, long time ago, was a slave of Penglai Xianshan. Later, Penglai Xianshan disappeared, and the person who reverted to the surname Sikong inherited the name of Penglai. In essence, strictly speaking, they have little to do with Penglai Immortal Mountain. ”
