Chapter 218: Assassination
After boarding the Chu family's ship and walking into the cabin, a few people found that the space inside the ship was far larger than it looked outside the ship.
It seems that a space formation is set up inside the ship, which can expand the space inside. At this time, Wei Changming and the others were tasting food on the first floor.
"Well, it's good." Jin Yi was chewing a spirit fruit of unknown variety, feeling the continuous replenishment of spiritual power in her body.
"Indeed, not only is the food available, but the environment is also very clean." Feng Yichen also held a fruit in his hand and tasted it.
At this moment, a group of people walked towards Wei Changming and the others. Wei Changming patted the few people who were patronizing the food.
Feng Yichen and the others looked up and saw a group of people, wearing the same costumes, stopping in front of them. If you count them carefully, there are twelve of them.
It seems that they are obviously from the same sect.
"Are we going to get a peach mountain costume too?" Wei Changming looked at the posture in front of him and said,
"What about the clothes that the master brought us?"
"Don't be, it's too conspicuous to wear that when you go out."
"Look at how magnificent people are, more than a dozen people are standing together." Wang Yu suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, looked up and looked around, a little puzzled.
It's strange, how did it suddenly get cold. When the man in front of him stretched out his hand, Wang Yu found that the cold air came from several people in front of him.
"Sangzhou, leave Jiuping."
"Yo, it looks like you're a fellow countryman." When Jin Yi heard that the people in front of them were from Sangzhou, they looked at Wei Changming and quipped,
"Why don't you go up and say hello?" Wei Changming was helpless, stepped forward, and also stretched out his right hand and shook it.
Suddenly, a cold breath came from the palm of his hand. At this time, the man behind Li Jiuping said proudly: "We are from the valley. Wei Changming withdrew his right hand.
"I see." Wei Changming looked at Li Jiuping.
"Sang Zhou, Wei Changming." When he was in the Imperial City before, Wei Changming also had a close experience of Mo Ziyan, a disciple of the Guanghan Palace, a sect similar to the Hidden Valley.
But the coldness of the person in front of him is different. The Guanghan Hall was pure cold, making the people around him shiver with cold.
And leaving the valley, it is the cold that penetrates the soul, and makes people's spiritual consciousness feel a little cold. Perhaps, this is also the reason why the other people in the cabin are far away from this group of people from the valley.
After all, so many people are standing together, and the chill that is unintentionally revealed is easy to make people uncomfortable.
"It seems that they are still fellow villagers?" Leaving Jiuping came to the interest. After all, in Fengzhou, it is not easy to meet people from the same continent.
"I wonder if the purpose of this trip is the invitation of the Southern Witch Kingdom?" Straight to the point from Jiuping.
"That's right." Wei Changming nodded.
"I don't know where you come from?"
"It's just a small sect in Qianzhou, it's not worth mentioning."
"Since Daoist friends don't want to speak, that's it." Li Jiuping glanced at Wei Changming deeply. In fact, to some extent, Wei Changming did not lie.
As a sect that has just opened to the outside world, there are indeed not many people in Taoshan, and at the same time, they are not famous in Qianzhou, only a few factions that have intersected are relatively familiar, even if they say the name of Taoshan, they will definitely not know about Jiuping.
Therefore, in Wei Changming's view, there is no need to say it or not. But these words, in the few people behind Jiuping, sounded very harsh.
"The people of Qianzhou are really superior, and they don't even want to tell us the name of the sect." Behind her, a woman sneered.
"Eh, junior sister, how can you say that?" Another man answered,
"Maybe people are really low-key? Or- I can't raise my head in Qianzhou, so the name of the sect is ashamed to say. You see, at the invitation of the Southern Wu Kingdom, the sect only sent four people, and it seems that the sect is in decline. ”
"What did you say?" Wang Yu couldn't listen to these words the most, as a child born in Momoyama, he was a little angry when he heard others belittle his sect, so he wanted to come forward to theorize.
"Alright, let's talk less." Li Jiuping frowned, stopped the conversation of several people behind him, and then looked at Wei Changming and the others, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the junior brothers are not sensible, and it is the first time to go out, I apologize to you here." ”
"It's fine." Wei Changming smiled.
"In that case, we won't bother a few people, and I hope we can cooperate in the future."
"I hope so." Wei Changming nodded. Then Lijiuping pulled a few people away. When they didn't go far, Wei Changming and the others vaguely heard the conversation of a few people from the valley.
"Senior brother! Why are you pulling me, people don't even want to tell us their names, they obviously look down on us. ”
"You think everyone is as ostentatious as you, I was originally opposed to wearing a sect costume when I went out, but I can't help you wear it. Do you also see a person who declares the name of his own sect, and he can't wait to announce to the world that he is away from the disciples of the valley? I'm telling you, you're going to suffer sooner or later. ”
"Originally, I wanted to ask them if they would go to the post station to rent spirit beasts after getting off the ship, and there was a stronghold of the Royal Beast Gate nearby. Renting spirit beasts is not cheap, it could have been shared by a few more people, so it's okay, things are all messed up by you······" Gradually moving away from the valley.
Wei Changming shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that it's all wrong to say it."
"Alright, leave that alone." Jin Yi said,
"But they still gave us some useful news."
"I didn't expect that a post station was set up on the other side of Tailin Lake, so that we could save a lot of time and reach the agreed place of Nanwu Kingdom as soon as possible." Jin Yi lowered her head and thought for a while.
"But it is true that according to the words of the person from the valley, it is indeed a bit extravagant for a few of us to rent spirit beasts, so we can find a few more people to share it."
"Do you really want to be with them?" Wang Yu was a little reluctant,
"I don't want to walk with people who belittle Momoyama." Jin Yi looked around.
"Don't worry, I don't want to. Since the people who left the valley were on this ship, it meant that the various sects that had received the invitation from the Southern Gu Kingdom had already begun to act. There must be people from other sects on this ship, so we can find an opportunity to investigate it when the time comes. ”
"Good!"
"Boom!" While they were talking, suddenly, a violent crash came from the bottom of the boat. The lake is surging.
In an instant, the entire hull began to shake violently. In the hurry, many people in the cabin had already fallen to the ground.
Wei Changming and the others hurriedly stabilized their bodies and kept their balance against the wall. Outside the cabin was even more tragic. If it weren't for the formation barrier to protect the side of the boat, many people would have almost fallen into the lake.
"What's going on? Monster attack? "Many first-time people were a little flustered and nervously looking around.
"It's going to be fine." Just then, a voice came from above the cabin.
"Don't worry, this is a normal situation, the demon beasts at the bottom of the lake are haunting, it will be fine after a while, our hull is hard enough." Sure enough, as the person who transmitted the sound said, it seemed that after the demon beasts at the bottom of the lake hit several times in succession without success, they simply gave up their actions and dived down again.
The lake has also returned to calm.
"Whew, fortunately, I didn't rush to cross the lake." Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and remembered what the attendant said when he boarded the ship.
"It seems that this spirit stone is indeed worth the price." Everyone was relieved to see the ship set sail smoothly again.
The speed of the boat was not very fast, and it seemed that for safety reasons, everyone was able to walk freely on the boat without any discomfort caused by the first time on board.
In order to search for people with the same target, Wei Changming and the others simply followed the flow of people to the outside of the cabin. After the monster impact incident, the relieved crowd gathered above the deck to breathe in the fresh air.
"Ladies and gentlemen." At this time, an old man walked to the bow of the boat, and as soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes gathered on the old man.
"I am the person in charge of the voyage of the Chu family's ship, you can call me Chu Lao."
"Old Chu!"
"Old Chu." Listening to the respectful shouts of many people around him. Wei Changming and a few people said,
"It seems that this old man is very famous in the neighborhood."
"It seems so."
"I believe that the impact of the demon beast has been felt by everyone." The bow of the boat, the old man continued,
"But I promise you that I will transport you safely to the other side of the lake, and you will be able to reach your destination early tomorrow morning."
"We definitely believe in Chu Lao."
"That is, Chu Lao is an expert in this area, and there will be no problems." On the deck, there was a lot of discussion.
Listening to the conversation of others, Chu Lao smiled.
"In that case, the old body won't bother you." With that, Chu Lao, accompanied by several guards, walked up to the cabin.
"It seems that the top layer is where Old Chu stays." Looking at the old man slowly walking to the fourth floor of the cabin, Wei Changming said,
"The first floor is where the guests rest, the second floor is the room where ordinary people rest, and the third floor is the temporary residence of immortal cultivators like us."
"Well, it is estimated that several people in the Chu family are on the fourth layer." As Chu Lao left, the people on the deck resumed talking.
The moonlight was quietly coming, many people had already gone back to the house to rest, and the oil lamps on the ship were extinguished. Both on deck and in the cabin, there were far fewer people moving around.
Wei Changming couldn't get used to sleeping in the room on the ship, so he simply walked to the deck to hang out. Breathing through the fresh air, Wei Changming looked at the scenery outside the boat.
The clear water of the lake reflects a crescent moon. At this moment, Wei Changming suddenly heard a hurried footstep and just wanted to turn around.
Suddenly, a figure bumped into Wei Changming. Before he could see his appearance clearly, the man didn't apologize, so he hurriedly walked away, and after a while, disappeared from Wei Changming's sight.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Wei Changming was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. Just as I was quietly looking at the lake.
Suddenly, a fire suddenly lit up behind him, and in an instant, the whole ship lit up again. In the dark, it stands out.
"What's going on?" Many people walked out of the room rubbing their eyes, and the bright light in an instant made everyone sleepless.
At this time.
"Knock knock!" A few hurried footsteps came from the stairs.
"Oh no! Chu Lao was killed! The shouts echoed throughout the ship.
