Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Pirate's Flag

readx;? The second treasure of this Yang Season is full of silver, including both silver coins and silver ingots, and the overall value is not so impressive—ordinary people will definitely not earn that much in a few lifetimes, but for a county and a government, it is not a treasure worth coveting.

However, among the treasures, there was only one thing that had nothing to do with silver, but a small wooden box, from which Zhang Lu searched and took out a nautical chart. This map is a truly priceless treasure, which can be exchanged for great economic and political benefits, and Zhang Lu has already handed it over to Tang Liyu when he crossed the Xuanqi Realm.

It's just that Zhang Lu's senses are very keen, and when he weighed it with his hands, he felt that the weight of this wooden box was wrong, and there must be something strange besides storing the nautical charts. So he broke open the wall of the box, and sure enough, he found that there was a mezzanine at the bottom, and when he leaned slightly, something fell out with a "pop".

But before he could see what kind of treasure was hidden in this box, as soon as he saw the flowers, he was taken away by the Taizhen Demon and went to the Qingxuan World to carry out a mission. When the mission failed and returned to the original place, on the one hand, it was only a blink of an eye in the Tianyuan world, but as far as Zhang Lu's feelings were concerned, many days had passed, and he beat the empty underworld, defeated the Shangqing faction and turned into a god, and then stopped the wind from "destroying the world", during which there were many twists and turns, his mind had already run far;

It wasn't until his mood gradually calmed down that he suddenly got up and hurriedly took the torch and re-entered the cave. When I looked on the ground, I saw something lying in the dust—what the hell was this?

The thing is not big, small than the palm of the hand, flat, the color is blue-gray, at first glance it looks like a piece of bone, but in the hand, a little weighing, and then with the nail to try to pick out, obviously much heavier than the bone, but also much harder. This is a piece of stone, front and back, there is no pattern, no carving, except that it looks like a bone, there is really nothing surprising. For what reason did Tang Yangji deliberately collect this thing, and hide it in the mezzanine of the wooden box?

There are so few relevant clues that no matter how hard you rack your brains, you can't figure it out at all...... In the end, Zhang Lu had no choice but to put this stone piece into his arms for the time being, and wait for the day when there will be a coincidence in the future and discover the secret.

Since then, he has continued to practice the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" on this desert island, but fortunately, it was only a little more than a month before a sea boat landed on the island, and before he could put down the boat or springboard, a person jumped out - it was not someone else, it was Tang Shizhang, the elder of the Tang Mansion that Zhang Lu was familiar with. He couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly greeted the past, Tang Shizhang didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand to ask for the void bracelet.

Zhang Luxin said that fortunately, Lao Tzu was smart enough, and when he saw the shadow of the sail, he first took out the talisman and everything from the bracelet and put it in his arms, otherwise it is estimated that they will be taken away by the Tang family directly. Of course Tang Shizhang will not come to search his body, when Zhang Lu was in the Qingxuan World, he had already explained to Miss Tang that this time the treasure was all silver, and the total price was not high, so how much silver could he hide on himself? Tang Fu couldn't afford to tear his face with Zhang Lu for such a little suspicion.

- As long as you are ordered to hand over the Void Bracelet, you are not afraid of hiding too much, if you carry such a few taels or a few catties of silver on your body, it will be casual, and my Tang Mansion will not be so stingy.

Immediately, Zhang Lu led forward, leading Tang Shizhang and several people from the Tang Mansion who had just landed to the secret cave. When he arrived at the place, Tang Shizhang couldn't help frowning slightly: "It's just such a thing......"

Zhang Lu hurriedly said: "This silver is not worth anything, the map I gave to Miss Tang is really the treasure of the world." ”

Tang Shizhang nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Lu's shoulder: "You can get three from one, you have really made a great contribution to my Tang Mansion this time - it has only been a month since you came to this island, Hou Ye has already explained to Dongli that he will officially transfer you to my Tang Sect as an offering, and Yulu will not let you suffer from the time you leave the mainland." ”

Zhang Lu bowed in thanks. So some people came with the account books, counted the numbers, and recorded them one by one. Immediately, Tang Shizhang took out the Void Bracelet, and without saying a word, threw all the silver into it - Zhang Luxin said that it was convenient, and there was no need to move it to the ship in large cages and small boxes...... It's a pity that this thing is rare in the world, if I can get one......

The last mission to cross the Qingxuan world failed, and I don't know if there is a chance to be taken away by the heavens or demons again, it is very likely that Zhang Lu will stay in this Tianyuan world from now on, until his cultivation reaches the top and the sun soars—or until he reaches the end of his life, and buries his bones in this life from now on. And since he wants to cultivate in this life, of course he can't stay on this small island all the time—it is impossible for a person to cultivate the Immortal Dao behind closed doors!

They stayed on the island overnight and set sail the next day. Tang Shizhang was quite polite to Zhang Lu, and did not mean to "unload the mill and kill the donkey", and invited him to lunch, with wine and meat, which was quite hearty. Although he had prepared a lot of necessities for Zhang Lu in the Void Bracelet before, there was definitely no wine—the place was used to hold water—and there was no fresh meat, only some jerky. Although there are wild beasts on the island, but the taste is very bad, Zhang Lu has not eaten fresh and delicious meat for a long time, and now he shook off his cheeks and slammed it, and he couldn't help but eat with a mouth full of oil.

The two talked happily, and Zhang Lu casually asked, why did the Tang Mansion only send one boat over this time? Last time, the three families cooperated, but each family had more than one sea boat.

Tang Shizhang smiled and pointed at his wrist: "With this void bracelet, why do you need too much......

Besides, the last time the three cooperated, it was impossible not to reveal the news, and there was no way to avoid it, and now that the Tang family has a treasure, they have to hide it - Zhang Luxin said that your eldest lady has already leaked the matter, haven't you mentioned it to you - if you rent too many sea ships, you are afraid of being tracked and coveted by others.

Zhang Lu frowned and asked, "With only such a ship, aren't you afraid of encountering wind and waves or pirates?"

Tang Shizhang said with a smile: "The sailors on the ship are all accustomed to the sea route and have rich experience, and now it is not the rainy season, so they should not encounter strong winds and waves." As for the pirates, the coastal counties had previously encircled and suppressed them, annihilated their main forces, and forced the rest of the troops to flee...... Even if there are still the remnants of one or two ships nearby, how could it be so coincidental that they were bumped into by us?"

Before the words fell, suddenly the hatch was slammed open with a "bang", and a Tang Mansion servant rushed in and shouted: "Oh no, there are pirates surrounding you!"

Tang Shizhang and Zhang Lu were shocked when they heard this, and immediately jumped up - Zhang Luxin said I'm not such a crow's mouth, I can say whatever I want......

The two of them left the cabin, came to the deck, put their hands on the awning and looked into the distance, and saw that there were four sea ships on the west side, one on the left and one on the right, in a semi-encircled posture, coming with the wind. Zhang Lu is strange, how do you know that it is a pirate, not a passing merchant ship - although because of the piracy, there are very few merchant ships in the South China Sea, and most of them travel along the coast, but there are those who have gone off the road or been swept away by the wind and waves.

A sailor pointed from afar: "On the sail is the flag of a pirate." ”

There was no flag on the ship of the Tang Mansion, because no one wanted to let others know, and Tang Hou sent a ship to the sea. But on the four boats on the opposite side were flags, all of them with black backgrounds, and painted with strange-looking birds and beasts. Zhang Luxin said that it was not a skeleton flag, how did he know that it was indeed a pirate?

Of course, even if not all pirates on the earth have skeleton flags, at least as far as Zhang Lu knows, pirates in ancient East Asia (such as Japan and China) were not interested in this set. This time, the Tang Mansion was headed by Tang Shizhang, a total of seven people were sent, and the remaining 20 or so people on the ship were all sailors hired with the ship, and they were accustomed to the sea......

Tang Shizhang asked: "Can you hide?"

A sailor replied: "Pirate ships often use both oars and sails, and they are very fast, which is not comparable to our civilian ships." Fortunately, the west wind is strong at this moment, if the wind does not stop, the two sides always maintain a distance, and there is a 30% certainty that they can get rid of it. "Pirates often don't stare at a ship and chase after it, and if they can't catch up in a short time, they may give up.

However, before the words fell, a sharp sound was heard that broke the air, and then there was a "snap", and an arrow hit the sail rope, and the main sail of the ship immediately slipped down, and almost smashed a sailor. Tang Shizhang exclaimed: "It seems that there are masters in the ...... among pirates" It is not surprising that arrows can reach this distance with the wind, but it can accurately shoot the sail rope, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

The speed of the Tang Mansion ship quickly slowed down, and several pirate ships got closer and closer, and they could already see the pirates dressed differently and with hideous appearances and sharp blades on them. According to Zhang Lu's visual inspection, the tonnage of the four pirate ships is generally not as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, but the number of pirates clustered on the deck is quite large, each ship has more than a dozen, plus those who rock the oars and pull the oars in the cabin, the total number of combatants must be at least three times that of their own.

Fortunately, this is the Tianyuan world where martial arts are respected, and a large number of people may not necessarily win. Tang Shizhang and himself are both masters of the selfless realm, and the other six Tang Mansion servants are also peeping, if they really want to use force, ordinary pirates can easily sweep away. I don't know what kind of realm the hidden masters on the pirate ship have reached, let alone how many of them are, and their own masters are only good at land combat, and on this shaky deck, their skills may be greatly reduced......

Maybe it will be a vicious battle, even if Zhang Ludang pulled out the "spring breeze in the electric light and shadow", he put on a posture of attacking.

The time was not long, and the four pirate ships were getting closer and closer, and they had already sandwiched the Tang Mansion sea ship bag in the middle. Suddenly, a long howl was heard, and a person suddenly jumped up from the lone pirate ship, jumped horizontally more than three feet away, and rushed straight towards the Tangfu ship. Tang Shizhang's face did not change, and with a wave of his sleeves, he saw several silver rays of light shoot out and hit the door of the person.

The Tang Mansion is known for its secret weapons and poisons, and Tang Shizhang is also a descendant, of course, he also practiced that set - in the entire Tang Mansion, it is estimated that only Tang Liyu is the only one who lives in the mansion, but he learns other exercises.

Zhang Lu didn't know what Tang Shizhang's specific level was, judging from the age of the other party and the important responsibilities given by Tang Hou, he would definitely not be a newcomer to the realm of selflessness. The first order of the selfless realm is called Tongyou, and the second order is Wangxuan-this is the first level-Zhang Lu feels that he is still Tongyou, and Tong Dewei and Zhai Tong of the Eastern Lihou Mansion have already entered Wangxuan......

It is estimated that Tang Shizhang is likely to be Wangxuan, or the middle level of the selfless realm, which is the concrete realm.

At this time, when he saw Tang Shizhang make a move, he couldn't see what kind of secret weapon was issued, but he felt that the projection speed and the accuracy of the target were really amazing, Zhang Lu estimated that if he put it head-on, he would be in mid-air like this, and there was a vast ocean below, and it was estimated that at most one hidden weapon would be avoided, and the rest would all have to be hit. But when he looked at the pirates coming from the other side, he raised his fists in mid-air, and a hurricane rolled up, completely shattering all the silver light!

Ahh

Seeing that the other party can seduce the spirit of heaven and earth, the wind carried by his fists is violent and wanton, and almost the naked eye can see its shape, this must at least be the realm of selflessness, and he makes moves so fast, and destroys the enemy's secret weapon so easily, it is definitely not that he can resist this kind of selflessness for the first time - this person is likely to be on par with Tang Shizhang's skills!

He peeked at it, and saw that Tang Shizhang's expression also began to become solemn, and he wiped his hands under his waist and pulled out two short sticks. To say that the Tang Mansion is facing the enemy with many short blades, the tricks are actually not surprising, all relying on what kind of stick moves, ruler moves in the pinch of the hidden weapon, so that people can not be guarded, can be strong. Seeing that the long-range attack is ineffective for the time being, the only way to do this is to put the enemy on deck, and then use a plot in the middle of the battle to have a chance of winning.

In Zhang Lu's mind, if he can get up and attack, his own chances of victory will be even better. He was thinking about tactics in his heart, and his eyes glanced at the pirate who jumped in again, but he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart - this guy is so familiar!

The pirate looked to be in his forties and in his fifties, with a horse's face, two hanging eyebrows, and a cleanly shaved beard, revealing two thin lips—the whole countenance exuded a sinister and ferocious aura. Less than two years ago, Zhang Lu had met with this person, although he had never put it right, this person's appearance had been deeply engraved in his heart-

This person is not him, it is the head of the "Six Dragons" in the Tianyuan World, "Jairus"!

How did I get here by relying on "Jairus"? This person has already entered the middle level of the selfless realm, either concrete or unified, and can fight Li Shijie head-on, Tang Shizhang may not be his opponent! Moreover, since "Jairus" is here, what about the other five dragons? Could it be that he is also on those four pirate ships?

Zhang Lu instinctively felt that the situation was not good, and immediately reached into his arms, took out the human skin mask and put it on...... (To be continued.) )
