Chapter 15: The Unpredictable Abyss
Above the Imperial Golden Scale Waterway, the river was as silent as ink under the night sky, as if a curtain had been quietly opened, and the invisible sweep affected everyone.
Above the waterway, the lights from many buildings and boats synthesize a warm yellow hue in the night, spreading on the waterway, mottled and strange.
The Song Valve Treasure Ship in the center had not yet fully sunk to the bottom, and several small airtight cabins made the ship sink slowly, so that the people above had time to wait for reinforcements. Fortunately, in a short time, there was already a ship under the banner of Song Valve, Xingchi rushed to help, picking up the young man and the guards around him who were waiting for rescue on the sampan, as well as the crew on the ship.
Seeing that young man got on the ship of Song Valve's help, many ships belonging to various factions around him were actually ready to come forward to respond, but I don't know if it was a certain kind of respect for the Song Valve's flag on the sinking ship, or a fear of the unclear situation in front of them, so in the end, even if they wanted to get on the line with Song Valve, they were so cautious that they didn't make such a move. Let the sampan of the seventh prince of the Song Dynasty rise and sink on the river, floating uncertainly.
In many cases, blindly teaming up with an imperial tyrant like Song Valve may not bring benefits to himself, and may even become a chess piece in the hands of that giant that can be discarded at will and cannon fodder that can be destroyed at any time.
These ships from the various factions of the empire, in front of the behemoth of the Song Valve, it seems that they are not qualified to be taken seriously by that giant to a large extent. This has always been a very realistic problem, if you want to get the attention of the other party, you need to have the corresponding strength, if you don't have the strength, you are afraid that you will eventually be burned.
got on the Song valve ship that rushed to the nearest nearest one. Song Jing and his entourage also ignored their wet and embarrassed demeanor, and meditated and breathed on their own. The leader of the Song valve who rushed to the aid was extremely dignified. Thinking about it, this matter has been transmitted to the Song valve through a very fast channel, so the matter will seem serious.
The loss of a treasure ship will not make Song Valve's flesh hurt. It's just that in recent decades. But he has never suffered such a loss, so he has been comfortable for too long, and it is the first time that his prestige has been so challenged. made Song Valve's huge internal can't help but pay attention to this matter urgently.
"The ship of the third princess has passed through Jiayu Gorge. He also politely refused our arrangement for Song Valve to send a ship to escort us. "The man in front of him boarded the boat and brought the latest news.
"Let's get our ship back. Song Jing opened his eyes. nodded, "Although the third princess is not in the same line as Xiangguo, she will never be so close to me Song Valve at this time." This is to be expected. But today is for me Song Valve. But that's good news. ”
Immediately, he looked at Zhao Lao Wu, who had recovered from pranayama, and several masters of Song Lu, frowning slightly, "That young Zhao Lao, in your opinion, what level of cultivation is the other party?"
Zhao Lao Wu sat cross-legged on the ground. His hair was still a little wet and embarrassed, and he groaned for a moment. He raised his head and said, "This son is a little weird, before fighting with him, I can feel that his internal qi is indeed below me, but when I fight, in the face of my Tianxuan cultivation, he will not fall behind." That being the case, his true cultivation is really incomprehensible!"
Song Lu, who was a fifth-grade Tianxuan mid-rank, said in surprise, "Zhao Lao Nai is a second-grade cultivator in Tianxuan, and he can't even see through the other party? Could it be that this son is really so unfathomable? It's a pity that Zhao Laowu, you were created by the Black Crow Array first, otherwise you would be able to measure the depth of the other party if you remain at your peak." ”
The Song valve master called Zhao Lao Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "The level of cultivation does not represent the true level of battle, although it is difficult to guess which level this son cultivates, but looking at his shots, he is not rigid in one style, and he has a great tendency to be imaginative." The combat methods are strange and ever-changing, and the fighting mentality of each of us is subtle, which is extremely rich combat experience. Obviously, this son has grown to such a point and has gone through extremely harsh training. It is the skill of killing people, not the skill of cultivating and fighting, which is obviously more dangerous than that of ordinary Tianxuan Realm cultivators!"...,
Everyone was slightly awe-inspiring, Zhao Lao Wu's words could already add some color to this son's evaluation of the high-level newspaper sent by the Song Valve.
Most of the cultivators, including the cultivators of the Dharma. All of them are delicate, supported by sects, valued by the Empire, supported by the elixir provided by the Empire, and although there are annual practices, it is more like a herding under heavy protection.
Who has really experienced countless life and death situations, and then realized the true meaning of cultivation from them, and can survive unharmed and continue to make progress? Therefore, just between the first battle, the masters of the Song Dynasty can appreciate the courage that that young man Da Ye has left over from countless trials. Feel the courage that comes from truly experiencing death and crisis.
This is something that most of the so-called masters of the imperial lords simply don't have. It is the momentum that people can only comprehend from life and death.
The starry night was like a shadow, and it was only a few hours before the prologue of this sensational empire began. The Song Valve investigators, who had returned from exploring the ruins of the waterway treasure ship, left the ruins and boarded the ship. Brought another news that shocked the night sky even more, "The Crow Rune Array is anti-devouring the treasure ship, this is a bad pool that will never appear, after restoration and investigation, this Crow Array is very likely to be tampered with by someone, and the structure of the rune has been adjusted, so that after the Black Crow Array is triggered, it is towards the ship"
When the news came out, everyone's faces were already extremely ugly. Although they had been suspicious before, it was still as shocking as if they had really come to a definite conclusion at this time.
"How is it possible! My Song Valve Black Crow Formation is famous in the cultivation world, and so far, even the scriptures of the Xituo Hall only describe the Black Crow Formation, and there is no exact detailed description of the structure. This is my Song Valve's high-level talisman array, and it must not be leaked, do you mean that someone has mastered the structure of my black crow array, thus changing the way the talisman array is released on the original formation?"
"Although I don't know how this ridiculous thing was done, but this is something that has never been heard of before" The spell master in charge of the investigation was silent, the shock in his eyes had not yet faded, "Mastering the rune structure and rune theory is not enough to make people feel terrible, because this is something that can be done, but the rune formation must be formed at once, this is one of the three true meaning of the rune eternal theorem." All the Talismans. The runes that are made must be formed once and for all. Any subsequent alteration of the rune will result in the complete invalidation of the rune, which is a true truth that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Even those legendary great masters of runes in the world. Even if the talisman has reached the pinnacle of transforming all things into nature, it must not be violated!"
"Fu writes the true meaning, Fu paints the truth, and Fu Tao is natural. Talisman represents the truth of the world. Only the correct runes will conform to the Heavenly Dao and grant the Heavenly Will to work. Heavenly principles cannot be tampered with. Therefore, talisman is actually a heavenly holy relic, and since ancient times, people have only accepted the talisman given by the god of heaven. Master it. The power to make it work for its own good, without any power to usurp change. ”
"Runes must work according to the principles of heaven, this is the right way. However, I really can't find any words to describe this way of tampering with the destiny of heaven."
Facing the shocked Zhao Lao Wu, Song Lu and others. Song Jing's expression was slightly sluggish, and then he said to the rune master, "Can't you describe it or don't you dare to describe it?"
The astonishment on the runemaster's face could not be concealed. Their bodies trembled a little with fear, "Even the oldest runes." I don't dare to explain this situation in more detail. But I know that the way of heaven is irreversible, and once it is reversed, this is the other end of the destiny of heaven, the unpredictable dark abyss."
Song Jing's face turned pale and shouted, "Say!"
The rune master's shoulders trembled slightly, and finally, when he was extremely cramped, squeezed out a word from between his teeth, which was deep but enough to make everyone present immediately chill their spinal cords. ...,
"Demon!"
I see!
Absolutely!
The crowd on the ship was shocked by the silence. They looked at the starry night sky, between the dense stars, the far and far places in the dark. It seems that there is a terrible place in the world that has been buried, and the fear that will reveal a corner. They are afraid, and the world is afraid.
Song Jing, the seventh son of Song Valve, was silent for a moment, and muttered to himself, "That incident back then revealed the most terrifying and hidden corner of this land, but it seems that it can still cover that black curtain. And now the abyss that the world can't cover seems to have finally reappeared in the world, and the clues have reappeared."
Immediately, he said, "Today's matter, except for the people here of us" Song Jing swept towards the few people present little by little, as if the voice came out of the lowest part of his throat, word by word, "No other person must know about it, otherwise the consequences will be borne by yourself." ”
Everyone present fell into a very long and very long silence.
Plunged into a protracted shock for the sake of a fact, and an unpredictable fear deep in your heart.
The starry sky is still magnificent, but there is no light to be seen.
"What kind of martial arts is that! Even the extremely powerful old man of Song Valve is difficult to match!" "The ship traveled through the Imperial Jiayu Gorge, this fleet destined to go to the Tang Dynasty to set off huge waves no longer had any obstacles along the way, facing the green mountains on both sides of the gorge constantly sweeping backwards, Chu Wei and the others' curiosity about Yang Ze had reached the extreme.
At the same time, they understood that they seemed to have completely lost their eyes, and it was hard to imagine that Da Ye had such a young cultivator. However, the cultivation world has always admired the strong. The strong can ignore age and make people feel reverence and admiration. Everywhere you can be treated with the utmost respect. The respect of Chu Wei and the other four for Zong Shou and Wen Quan came from this.
They had slightly improved their views on Daye's cultivation level because of the two of them, but there were always some condescending prejudices and arrogances of the Tang Dynasty, and they showed Yang Ze unintentionally but tangibly. But at this moment, they can no longer doubt what they see.
The masters beside the Song Seventh Prince on the Song valve ship can be said to be not under the strength of the ship they escorted. Although the seventh son of Song is cultivated as a Tianxuanxia, he has the blessing of the secret treasure of the Song valve all over his body, and his strength is compared to the master of the middle level of Tianxuan, and it is not much better, it is Song Qi, the four of them can fight against him, but I am afraid that there are only Tao Ziyi and Han Xue.
And such a person was smashed in the face by Yang Ze's punch. Extremely embarrassed to retreat! It can be seen that the judgment is made from above.
As for the old man who was the strongest in the other party, he was at a disadvantage in Yang Ze's punch that surrounded the mantra, and everyone saw it, although there was a factor that Yang Ze used the formation to sneak attack and cause him to be injured first, but how could these others know. So on the surface, this battle is enough to bang up.
The four of them completely changed their impression of him. It can even be said to be simply shocking.
"I guarantee that Brother Yang's fame will spread to Shengjing City faster than our clippers. The old man in Song Valve's name is Zhao Lao Wu. It is a master of the Imperial Heavenly Xuan's upper level cultivation. Tao Ziyi smiled simply. At this time, there was already a more layer of respect for Yang Ze, as well as a certain unwillingness in his heart, as well as the friendship of several of them, "Brother Yang showed his skills today. We were really surprised. ”
Parson, the most talkative of the four, couldn't wait to say, "It's not just a big surprise. With Brother Yang's background from Daye, plus age, he is so skilled. I'm just afraid that I will go to the imperial capital. It's going to cause a sensation!" Bai Sen knew that he was wrong when he said this, and even Tao Ziyi and Chu Wei hurriedly glanced at him with a sense of blame.
Isn't this a famous statement, the people of the Tang Dynasty look down on Daye as a small country, and even more so is their state of mind before, they didn't put Daye in their eyes at all before, and naturally they won't care more about the people who pay attention to their Daye. At first, they talked, laughed and got close to each other, but it was just basic etiquette. ..., Yang Ze didn't care. Seeing that the three of them really had the heart to make friends at this time, they smiled and revealed. So much so that the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A faint fragrant breeze hit, and there was a sound of footsteps behind everyone, and a few people turned to look sideways, and saw Han Xue, who had short hair but was handsome, and Han Xue, who was slender but tense and athletic, came straight to Yang Ze in front of Yang Ze in the eyes of many of the guards around the ship who had gathered their eyes here.
Looking at the eyes that also seemed to be smiling, Han Xue was a little flustered for a while. He had been staring at himself like this since he first met. There were also many people in the Quan Cang Cultivation Institute who had stared at her like this, but it turned out that all the men who coveted her and had bad intentions did not end up looking good. So Han Xue once thought that this hillbilly was also such a bold character. In comparison, Song Jing, the seventh son of the Song Valve, whether it is identity, upbringing, or even physical and courageous cultivation, if it is not impressed by the heart of a girl like her, it is impossible. So when she looked at Song Jing again, her expression was obviously very different from most of the men around her.
Compared with Yang Ze, it seems to be the difference between a hillbilly and an imperial Song lord noble.
What is happening now is completely upside down.
The shock can be imagined.
Han Xue suddenly found that he couldn't see through what kind of person this young man in front of him was, but the fearless spirit and posture he had just now on the Song Valve Boat made it difficult to suppress his heartbeat, and even the way he looked at him before was not so annoying to think about it.
Seeing Han Xue's slightly confused look in front of him, Yang Ze secretly scolded himself for being troublesome, this girl must not take a fancy to herself, he came to the Tang Dynasty, but there was no extra mind to fall into this kind of variable, and immediately returned to a little prodigal unruly look, looking directly at Han Xue's brown eyes.
Han Xue was forced by his burning gaze, and she couldn't stand it. Yang Ze took the opportunity to grin rudely, seven or eight points hillbilly look, "I told you before that I can defeat the Orthodox Sect Dharma King, now I know that it is powerful! How do you fall in love with Lao Tzu? That dare to be good, the girl in the Tang Dynasty is beautiful, I Da Ye rarely sees such a thin skin and tender meat! To have such a person by your side, Sansheng is lucky!"
Of course, Yang Ze wants to look like something, and it is one of his nature to be vulgar and profligate.
And Han Xue couldn't stand his words, her face immediately turned red, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her anger, the impression that was subverted by him just now now has returned to bad and vulgar, and she can't help but be a little confused about what kind of person he is, but her expression has become angry, "Are all the people in Da Ye so uneducated? ”
"Is there anything different about me? Hey, it turns out that the young lady's impression of me has changed a lot?
Chu Wei and the others who heard this shook their heads in their hearts, secretly thinking that this Yang Ze must have been unhappy with Han Xue's low opinion of him before, so he spoke at this moment. Don't you know that Han Xue's impression of his transformation is finally over, but I'm afraid that he will collapse again.
Sure enough, Han Xue's color had changed, and her expression turned cold and reprimanded, "Cultivate but not cultivate the mind, cultivate strength but not cultivate virtue." I don't know where your blind confidence comes from, but you don't have what it takes to please Miss Ben!"
After saying that, he turned and left. Look at her back. Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly at Yang Ze. I thought that although this Brother Yang's cultivation is extremely high, he really comes from a small country in Daye, and he really doesn't have a mind and belly, and he doesn't know how to please women.
Yang Ze touched his nose, and the girl's pretty face and cowardly posture when she was angry were still in front of her. I can't help but feel a little helpless.
At the same time, Li Yan of the Imperial Sect Department stepped onto the deck, although he was initially extremely angry that Yang Ze had disrupted all the deployments of the Song Lord's ships, but it was more of a certain jealousy and solemnity towards Yang Ze's skills. At that moment, since Yang Ze returned to the ship, he suppressed his anger, and the initial arrogance towards Da Ye disappeared without a trace, and he became wary of Yang Ze. I wasn't stupid enough to ask him about it. Invisibly offended such a young master of unknown origin, Li Yan is not such a stupid person.
At this time, he obviously didn't know where to get the information, Li Yan stepped on the rear deck of the ship at this moment, faced Yang Ze, and said in disbelief, "You are the young man who was reckless and disrespectful to the Holy Maiden of Xituo in Daye!?"
Together. There was an uproar.
Obviously, this matter is extremely famous, even Chu Wei, Bai Sen, and Tao Ziyi looked at Yang Ze in disbelief, and then realized with relief, no wonder this Brother Yang was so straightforward in his previous call to Han Xue, it seems that he is really a lustful and uninhibited and rude person!
Han Xue, who left directly, stopped, obviously surprised by this matter, and then turned her head to look at Yang Ze, and finally the only trace of expectation and doubt in her eyes disappeared, she shook her head, and her pretty eyes under her short hair flashed a trace of disappointment and coldness, "Sure enough, he is a vulgar and lustful person!"
