Chapter 141: Jiangdong Mansion
Rizhao Valley is 100 miles away from Dongzhou, but this time the destination is Jiangdong Mansion, which is farther away.
The power of the sea boat is all provided by the demon crystal, and the driving speed is not very fast, so it will take two days to dock.
On the first day, Xuan Ye was learning formations from Kui Lao, occasionally fishing, and time flew by.
Until nightfall, the sea is pitch black, and it is impossible to see.
Xuanye sat on the bow of the boat, drinking hot tea, looking into the distance. Thinking of the giant beast he saw in Rizhao Valley, he couldn't help but shudder.
Suddenly, the fishing rod in front of him shook, and he was stunned for a moment before he went to catch it, so he could only come back with an empty hook.
"You have to be attentive, you need patience when fishing." The old man was calm, and his tone of voice slowed down.
Xuanye secretly laughed that this trip was much stronger than in the mountains, at least the mentality was different.
"Teacher, you said that there should be monsters in this sea, right?" Xuanye asked casually and threw the fishing rod out again.
"Huh? Naturally, there is, but it's not as terrifying as the one outside the sea. The old man said, and lifted the hook violently, but his body sank, and his face showed a bit of incredulity.
Xuanye looked at the crooked fishing rod and was a little surprised.
Suddenly, the old man realized that the strength in his hand was loosened, and a black shadow flew up and fell on the boat. When I looked at it, there was only half a fish head.
The two of them looked at each other, and then at the same time, at the sea.
"Could it be—" The old man exclaimed, leaning out of the hull of the ship and illuminating the sea with his spirit pen. After seeing the situation clearly, he immediately ran and said in a deep voice. "In vain, activate the defensive formations everywhere."
Xuanye did as he was told, and at the same time noticed a strange aura hovering nearby. Could it be true that he said that there are sea beasts at the bottom of the sea?
There was another chill, he didn't have time to think about it, he quickly filled up the spars of the formations everywhere, and then injected spiritual power. The formation patterns were quickly filled with light, emitting dazzling light.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in my face.
Xuanye immediately took out the jade ruler on his waist and swept away. The moment the spiritual power was injected, the jade ruler trembled slightly, and the ink gushed out, instantly condensing the heavy knife.
The blade slashed, and the black shadow split in half and fell to the ship.
Only then did Xuanye see that it was just a humanoid demon beast. The head is somewhat similar to that of a toad, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and webbed hands and legs. The cultivation is not high, only the late stage of transformation.
He couldn't understand why Elder Kui was so serious and activated all the formations.
Suddenly there was a shock, and the whole hull shook, and then I realized that something was wrong.
"Damn, you ran into these brutes!" The old man came over scolding, and when he saw the corpse on the ground, he showed even more disgust. "Apprentice, you have to be careful for a while, this group of beasts is like a bull in heat, don't go crazy and die."
Xuanye didn't understand what it meant, and suddenly felt several cold winds coming. The defensive formation was immediately activated, emitting a golden glow that flung forward like a long whip.
In an instant, the black shadow close to the sea boat was stirred into pieces of flesh and fell into the sea. Only a few pieces landed on the deck, emitting a pungent stench.
However, as soon as one wave stopped, the next wave rushed up, twice as many as just now.
After a stirring, more minced meat fell on the deck.
Only then did Xuan Ye understand the disgust in the eyes of the old man, this demon beast was too fishy, and it was mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur.
"It's coming! Here they are! The old man roared angrily, and he sacrificed his spirit pen and waited for it.
Xuanye was also on guard, but he put away the jade ruler and replaced it with the earthy yellow spirit pen.
"Smack, smack, smack..."
The sound of rushing out of the water rang non-stop, looking at the overwhelming demon shadows, Xuanye couldn't help but roar. "Don't come here!"
The two fought all night, killing in the dark, and the pieces of meat piled up.
It wasn't until dawn that this group of demon beasts didn't attack again.
Xuanye was lying on the railing, his intestines were about to vomit out, his face was pale, and there was not much vitality in his eyes.
The following day, both the master and apprentice were cleaning up the flesh and blood stains on the ship. After cleaning most of it, I found that it had no effect, and my body was already covered with a fishy smell, which could not be washed off even with water.
Another day passed, at the bustling harbor.
The businessman, who was about to go to sea, was suddenly attracted by a foul smell. Staring at it, a blood-stained sea boat was drifting with the waves.
"Ghost ship! It's a ghost ship! ”
With an exclamation, the name of the ghost ship spread in the harbor.
As the culprits, the master and apprentice had already flown up when they were on the shore, found a mountain stream to clean, and changed their clothes, and then walked to the bustling Jiangdong Mansion.
Rao is like this, Xuanye still feels that his nose is filled with a fishy smell, which is extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, the two stepped into the city gate. The avenue is crowded with people, rubbing shoulders, but between people, there is a look of indifference, and even a trace of decadence.
Such a strange atmosphere made Xuan Ye tighten the black robe on his body, and looked at the palace-like building in the distance through the lowered brim.
"Don't worry, Koto Mansion is a place where celebrities gather, and there is no difference between civilians and slaves here." Kui Lao Dao.
Xuanye didn't care about this, but suddenly thought of Yuan Wen. Although he was pitted, there was still a message in the Sumeru ring left behind, asking him to rescue the slaves under the imperial city.
The dignified prince, also at the last moment, bowed his head in this way.
The two of them continued onward, through the civilian quarters, to more opulent places. After that, he sat quietly by a pool.
"I haven't been here for a hundred years, but it's really changed a lot." The old man sighed.
"Teacher, are we waiting for someone?" Genya asked.
The old man nodded, took out a piece of black carved fox jade, and put it beside him. "It's been a hundred years, and I don't know if I can still get in touch the way I did back then, so I'm still waiting here, if it's still there, I should find us soon."
"What did the teacher say?"
"Black market!" The old man whispered, and then leaned back comfortably in his chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Xuan Ye sat quietly in place, and suddenly there was a noise in his ears, and when he looked up, a group of young masters in gorgeous clothes were carrying whips and whipping a teenager.
"Lu Thirteen, I asked you to admit that you stole something, why didn't you admit it?"
The whip fell on the young man, but he did not say a word, and endured it silently with his head down.
"It's really cheap, if it weren't for your father who saved my father back then, I thought you could wear this dress? After all, you're a dog in my family! ”
"Oh, Young Master You, don't be angry, isn't he just a dog? The dog father is naturally a dog son. ”
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and the purple-clothed young man who whipped him was even more proud.
"Why don't we put him on a leash and drag him down the street, it's going to be fun."
Hearing this, the beaten teenager finally showed a trace of fear, obviously having experienced this kind of thing before.
"What? Lu Shisan, will you finally be scared? The young man in purple burst out laughing.
Xuanye, who had no intention of paying attention, looked at it again after hearing these words, and suddenly his heart moved, and he stepped forward, "Let's stop here." ”
The purple-clothed young man glared back, but saw a black robe, looking at Xuanye Sen's cold gaze through the brim of his hat, and his body trembled immediately. But then, he straightened his chest again and said coldly: "Who are you?" I'm the young master of the You family, and in this Jiangdong Mansion, no one dares to control me! ”
"Young Master You, this person seems to be a martial cultivator." Others saw the jade ruler hanging on Xuanye's waist and said in a voice.
Seeing this, You Ning immediately showed disdain, "But a mere martial cultivator, he still dares to yell at me, believe it or not, you can't even go out of Jiangdong Mansion?" ”
In the face of the threat, Genya didn't care at all, just stared at the young man kneeling on the ground.
"I'm talking to you!" You Ning waved his cold whip, but he was unexpectedly held in mid-air, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
Thinking that he was the eleventh young master of the You family, how could he have received this kind of humiliation. Even if he is a strong person in the transformation stage, he has to nod his head in front of him, let alone a martial arts cultivator. "Bastard! If you don't let go, try again! ”
When Xuanye heard this, he immediately let go. You Ning stumbled and fell out, just falling into the pool, and came out looking extremely embarrassed.
"Bastard!" You Ning gritted his teeth, his face was flushed, and he was about to pounce. was glared at by Xuanye, his legs were weak, and he sat back in the pool.
At this time, everyone knew that Xuanye was not easy to mess with, so they hurriedly ran to help You Ning and left in a hurry.
The beaten boy also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xuanye.
"Your name is Lu Thirteen?"
The young man frowned slightly and shook his head, "My name is Lu Ming,"
"Then why do they call you Lu Thirteen?"
The young man bit his lip and looked away, "Because before I came, the You family had twelve dogs. ”
Xuanye suddenly realized, looking at this young man who was only a few years younger than himself, for some reason, there was always a feeling that the elders took care of the juniors.
"I'm leaving, and if I'm late, they'll punish me." Lu Ming was about to take a step, but he was stopped again, and looked at the black-robed man in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"Do you want to escape this fate? As long as it is ten years, or even not, it will become an existence that terrifies the entire tourist! ”
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head, "I don't understand what you're talking about?" ”
"Don't you want to? Become a cultivator! As long as the strength is enough, they don't dare to bully you? ”
"But... The elders of the tour family are very kind to me, but..."
Xuanye sighed lightly and patted Lu Ming's shoulder, "Since that's the case, I can't force it to come, if you think about it, I'll wait for you here at night in three days." ”
"For... Why are you helping me? Lu Ming asked timidly.
"How so? It's probably the edge of the eyes~" Xuanye smiled slightly, and then stepped away.
Lu Ming hesitated for a while, but still walked in the direction where You Ning and the others left.
Kui Lao glanced at Xuanye, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, "You caused trouble just now?" It seems that he is still the son of a celebrity, and he doesn't know what kind of force is behind it. ”
"Does the teacher think it's worth it?"
Kui Lao shook his head, "That kid has a good talent, but I'm afraid that he has a bad heart, especially if you tell him that strength is supreme, in case he goes astray." ”
"I don't think so, because he's kind of like me."
Elder Kui smiled and didn't respond.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came.
You Ning came to the square with a group of guards, and pointed at Xuanye angrily, "It's this cheap slave, chop him up for me and take him to feed the dog!" ”
