Chapter 104: Déjà vu
Han Xiao and King Zhuge walked cautiously along the way, the thirteen decks above the original deck of the Pompeii were almost floating in mid-air, although there were main masts and other auxiliary masts to support, but after all, each deck was comparable to a big ship, and there were even different houses built on it, Han Xiao thought more than once, if these masts suddenly broke, what would the people on the deck do.
Now standing on the edge of the deck of the third layer, the number of layers on the deck is determined from top to bottom, and the third deck is actually nearly a hundred zhang high from the ground, when Han Xiao secretly looked down, although he was ready, he couldn't help but twitch in his heart.
"Isn't it really going to fall?" asked Han Xiao with palpitations.
Hearing this, Pang Ying smiled faintly and said: "Pompeii is also an ancient relic brought out by our Pang family from the ruins of the god and demon battlefield, and then it was rebuilt by Master Evil Moon himself, and it took a whole year to complete, unless there is a warship of the level of the Shenwei ship to besiege the Pompeii, otherwise it should not be a problem for the Pompeii to persist for thousands of years." ”
"Master Evil Moon. Hearing these four words, Han Xiao's face instantly became extremely ugly. Han Xiao is not the kind of person with a small belly, he understands that Situ Han had to force himself to die in the Andi Sea at that time because of the rules, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to understand.
In fact, he himself couldn't say what kind of affection Han had for Situ Han, if he wanted to talk about hatred, there should be, but it was not strong. I don't know if it's because I know that I don't have the strength to take revenge, so I have subconsciously given up the idea of revenge. In short, this matter has always made Han Xiao feel difficult to understand, but at least Han Xiao knows that he definitely doesn't have a good impression of Situ Han.
While he was thinking about it, Han Xiao had already followed Pang Ying into the courtyard on the third deck. To be honest, when Han Xiao saw this mansion, the first thought that came to his heart was that the Pang family was really sick. These decks are huge, but it's a bit of a stretch to build a mansion on the deck, and it's not that big. Before Han Xiao boarded the Pompeii, he also saw the land next to the Pompeii, the area of that small island is not small, not to mention building a mansion on it, even if he wants to build a palace, it is more than enough, but all the elites and bigwigs of the Pang family choose to live on the Pompeii, for which Han Xiao really can't understand.
"It's called a status symbol. Thinking of the end, Han Xiao secretly sighed in his heart.
The atmosphere in the mansion is no different from the atmosphere on the entire Pompeii, but the guards patrolling the mansion are no longer like javelins standing outside, everyone here walks around very casually, and there is not so much murderous aura on their bodies, but looking at the pace of these people, Han Xiao knows that these guards are all elites.
"Third son, Elder Qin is invited. Halfway through, a guard finally came out of the middle hall and greeted Pang Ying and the others.
Pang Ying nodded, turned around and said to Han Xiao, "Come in with me, don't be nervous." After speaking, Pang Ying walked in first.
To say that Han Xiao was indeed a little nervous before, especially when he was always thinking about whether these decks on the Pompeii would fall, but now, the nervousness in Han Xiao's heart disappeared, and he was very curious about what kind of situation would be next.
Walking into the middle hall, Han Xiao almost couldn't help laughing. It seems that no matter how big an empire or how big a family is, it is actually the same when it comes to the most fundamental time. Han Xiao always had the feeling of walking into the middle hall of the Han family's cloud now, there were five elders sitting with a majestic face, among them, although the old man on the main seat was already full of gorgeous hair, but he was not the slightest bit old, but when he sat there, he would give people a sharp feeling like an out-of-body sword.
Outside of the five elders, some monks who looked like they should be the backbone of the Pang family stood apart, and there was not a smile on everyone's face, as if this was a mourning hall. Seeing Pang Ying walk into the central hall, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him, and then quickly moved to Han Xiao and King Zhuge as well.
Pang Cheng, who had already had a conflict with Pang Ying before, was now in the middle hall, and when he saw Han Xiao and them also walking in, Pang Cheng immediately shouted: "Bold, is this a place where outsiders can enter?"
Pang Cheng's words shocked everyone, and after realizing that it was Pang Cheng who was speaking, some young and middle-aged Pang family monks had a look of disgust in their eyes, but in the end, no one came forward to accuse Pang Cheng.
Instead, one of the five elders raised his hand, pointed at Han Xiao and said, "Pang Ying, you are not a child anymore, have you forgotten the rules of the family?"
Faced with such a scene, Han Xiao had to be surprised now, but faintly seemed to be still distracted. Now he feels that this place is becoming more and more like the Yunzhong Hall, and in the past, when he was in the Yunzhong Hall, he would often be troubled by the Han family. For example, Han Debai has had such difficulties for himself more than once before. After occasionally glancing at Pang Ying, and seeing Pang Ying's calm and breezy expression all the time, Han Xiao finally couldn't help but smile, secretly thinking that this guy seemed to be used to this kind of scene and used to seeing the lord of the wind and waves.
Pang Ying was not excited, and after the elder finished speaking, he replied very calmly: "I naturally haven't forgotten the rules of the family, and I brought them here precisely because I want to do things according to the rules." ”
"Do things by the rules?" the elder frowned.
The elder did not react excessively, but Pang Cheng began to be eager to try again, Pang Ying directly looked at him coldly, and Pang Cheng, who was directly glaring, held back all his words. Han Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw it, he really didn't understand why the kind of person who obviously didn't have enough strength and seniority would want to challenge someone who he would definitely not be able to compare.
"First of all, I would like to admit a mistake, a year ago I went on an expedition with an ocean-going ship not to hunt in the East China Sea, but to the West Pole Plain. Pang Ying said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Cheng on the side finally couldn't help it again, and directly jumped out and pointed at Pang Ying's nose and said: "Look, look, dare to be so arrogant after making a mistake? Do you know what kind of sin it is to take an ocean-going ship to change the route without permission, and how many monks are left of those monks you brought out? You say, you say!"
Pang Ying looked at Pang Cheng quietly, looking at this guy who seemed to be a clown jumping off the beam, and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Pang Cheng became even more excited, and took out a jade slip from his waist, and said with a cruel smile: "Don't speak because you don't dare to say it, it's okay, you don't dare to say that I can help you say it." After finishing speaking, he respectfully handed the jade slip to the elder who spoke at the beginning, and then turned around and said triumphantly: "The three ocean-going ships are all damaged, and even the damaged hull has not been found, and only seventy-four of the six hundred monks are still alive, these are the most accurate news from Xiling City." Pang Ying, Pang Ying, you can give the family an explanation for this matter. ”
Pang Cheng's appearance of showing off his might in the middle hall is indeed very annoying, but now everyone is looking at Pang Ying, they have only heard of such a thing before, maybe those elders have understood the situation in advance, but they have really just heard that if things are so bad that Cheng Dù, even if Pang Ying has cultivated to the Tongxuan Realm, it will be difficult for him to escape this punishment.
The elder holding the jade slip lit a chair, looked at Pang Ying and said, "You can explain this matter well." ”
"A year ago, I got a news that in the West Pole Plain, there was an indigenous tribe monk who used a method similar to the blood Gu technique to raise an evil dragon totem, it is rumored that it is an evil dragon that is fed by a complete dragon bone and half a dragon tendon plus essence blood, I just plan to hunt the evil dragon and retrieve the dragon bone and dragon tendon. Pang Ying said.
Hearing these words, several elders who were originally sitting firmly in their positions all straightened up, and even the Qin Elder on the main seat had a tense face, and the elder holding the jade slip immediately asked, "Later, what was the result of this trip?"
"Not very smooth, didn't get the keel. Pang Ying shook his head.
"Hmph, after talking for a long time, it turned out to be a fart. Pang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a disdainful face: "Go on, just make up such a story." If it really doesn't work, you just say that you want to apologize with death, you can't cure the ancestor's injury, so you went out to commit suicide, how good is this. ”
"Stand down!" the elder said in a sudden deep voice.
Pang Cheng didn't react, and wanted to continue to taunt, but when he found that the elder was looking at him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and finally retreated.
Qin Lao, who had been silent, finally spoke: "There is no gain from this trip?"
Hearing Qin Lao speak, Pang Ying no longer hesitated, directly took out the half of the dragon tendon from the storage bag, and said, "The keel has not been found, the dragon tendon has been obtained." ”
Qin Lao Er didn't say a word, he raised his hand and grabbed the half of the dragon tendon in his hand, and everyone in the middle hall stared at Qin Lao, or rather, at the half of the dragon tendon in his hand. At this moment, the atmosphere in the atrium became extremely strange.
"Yes, it seems to be the dragon tendon of the ancient dragon. Qin Lao opened his mouth and said, his tone even faintly with a little excitement.
Hearing these words, many people in the middle hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at this moment, some people had already begun to cast their eyes on Pang Ying's body.
"This half of the dragon tendon can at least temporarily alleviate the ancestor's injury. Pang Ying asked.
Qin Lao didn't delay, nodded and said, "Yes, the dragon tendon is very good." After saying that, he added: "If there is a keel, it will be perfect." ”
"Hmph, if that guy didn't want to take the credit for himself, how could he not get the keel. At this time, Pang Cheng was still muttering quietly on the side, but now the people here have not bothered to pay attention to him.
"You are also for the sake of the ancestors, and this time you will not be held accountable for taking away the ocean-going ship without permission. Qin Lao put away the dragon tendons and made a final summary.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were very rich, and some people who were watching seemed to feel faintly worthless for Pang Ying, after all, although Pang Ying was at fault first, and damaged three ocean-going ships, but the half of the ancient dragon tendon brought back can be called priceless, not to mention that this is the healing material that the ancestor urgently needs now, and its value is naturally even more amazing, but in the end, it is only in exchange for a merit and demerit.
Among the several elders seated, two couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Pang Ying's face was gloomy, and his eyes even turned red, Han Xiao had never seen him have such a change in feelings, but looking at the surrounding situation, Han Xiao could also judge that Pang Ying had indeed suffered great unfairness.
Pang Ying didn't have a seizure, but couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Old Qin, I hope I can let my father change places, such as letting him go back to Pang Island, is it okay?"
"Why did you want him to come back?" asked Qin Lao on the main throne indifferently.
"I hope he can come back, although no one in the imperial capital dares to kill people lightly, but he is too dangerous outside Pang Island after all. Pang Ying continued.
"No one will risk killing him. Qin Lao continued to say coldly, and finally waved his hand: "If you really want to honor the old man, let's make more contributions." The implication is that Pang Ying's current credit is not enough at all.
But his credit can be great.
Pang Ying clenched his fists, his whole body was almost trembling when he closed his eyes, and finally he still let out a sigh of relief, shook his head as if he had made a lot of determination, and then pointed at Han Xiao and said: "This time I encountered an accident when I went to hunt the evil dragon, the evil dragon is extremely powerful, I almost died, it was he who saved my life, according to the rules of my Pang family, we should do one thing for him." ”
Hearing Pang Ying's words, Han Xiao understood why Pang Ying had to let himself follow. It's just that what makes Han Xiao curious is that with his judgment of Pang Ying's situation in the Pang family, this matter doesn't seem to be so easy to talk about.
Sure enough, as soon as Pang Ying finished speaking, Pang Cheng jumped out on the side again: "If you say save your life, you will save your life, God knows if this kid is just what you found to make up for your own benefits, besides, even if you save a bad life, what if all the Pang family members were saved by outsiders, they have to bring people back to invite merit? If you really want to repay him, go back and repay him yourself, what are you doing with this kind of." ”
Pang Ying's face became even more ugly, just thinking that this was the middle hall, he didn't have a seizure like when he was under the Pompeii, but he still said calmly: "Although I am not the elder of the Pang family, my cultivation has reached the Tongxuan realm, as long as I am not expelled from the Pang family for a day, I am the elite of the family." What you just said is very right, not all Pang family members who are rescued in distress outside can bring their benefactors back to ask for credit. Only the elite have such privileges, and obviously, I can have such privileges, and you are certainly not a piece of waste. ”
"Who do you say is a waste?" Pang Cheng's face changed suddenly, he glared at Pang Ying and said, after speaking, he seemed to feel that his rebuttal was very weak, Pang Cheng said again: "In the Pang family, who can you be more waste than Lao Tzu?
"I'll kill you!" Pang Ying couldn't bear it anymore, and in a fit of rage, he was once again armed with a double axe to cut people.
Seeing this, Han Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to hug Pang Ying and shouted loudly: "It's not cost-effective to fight with a waste." ”
"Stop!" Qin Lao on the main throne also shouted angrily.
"Little cub, who do you say is the waste?" Pang Cheng said as he stared at Han Xiao viciously, with anger in his eyes.
"Let's just say you, if you don't accept it, you can fight!" Han Xiao replied not to be outdone.
It's not entirely because of how good the relationship with Pang Ying is, what Han Xiao has always hated the most is a villain like Pang Cheng, who has a mediocre strength but is extremely cheap, and there are always such people to provoke him when he is in the Han family, what Han Xiao wants most is to kill all this kind of sluts.
This Pang Cheng seems that his identity should not be simple, but his strength is really not enough. However, the cultivation of the Yuan Spirit Realm, Han Xiao didn't take him seriously at all, even if he fought on the flat ground, Han Xiao estimated that this guy was not necessarily his opponent.
As a result, when Han Xiao and Pang Cheng were shouting, the Pang family members present were all eyeing Han Xiao, although Han Xiao was not afraid when he saw this, he still couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the big family is generally very protective, even if they all think that Pang Cheng is a slut, they will not let themselves be an outsider.
Pang Ying reached out and patted Han Xiao's shoulder and said, "Don't be impulsive, I can handle this matter." ”
After speaking, Pang Ying set his eyes on the main seat and said, "Old Qin, I don't ask too much for this matter. ”
Everyone looked at Qin Lao again, the old man was silent for a while, and finally said: "If he really saves your life, the Pang family can help him do one thing, but you should also know very well what can be done in this matter." ”
Pang Ying nodded, and then didn't bother to argue with those clansmen who seemed to have objections to this matter, and looked directly at Han Xiao and said, "Is there anything you particularly want to do?"
"Huh?" Han Xiao was a little stunned, he didn't expect that he was still tense just now, how could it have been negotiated now? After being stunned for a while, Han Xiao asked in a low voice, "Can you say anything?"
Pang Ying nodded at first, but soon seemed to think of what Han Xiao thought, and said directly: "If you want us to send someone to treat your third uncle, forget it, there is ...... With that thing, as long as your Han family is willing to invest in the source, your third uncle's injury will definitely be cured. ”
"Really?" Hearing Pang Ying's words, Han Xiao shouted excitedly, which made everyone frown.
"Really. Pang Ying smiled very calmly.
Han Xiao knew that Pang Ying should not lie in this kind of matter, after all, he was also a powerhouse in the Xuan Realm, and he might know more about the situation of the third uncle who was also in the Xuan Realm. In fact, Han Xiao has always been confused about the third uncle's injury, after all, his cultivation is too low, and he doesn't know how to heal the powerhouse of the Xuan Realm once he is injured.
But now that he got Pang Ying's assurance, Han Xiao said very simply: "Then it's nothing, I'll save you, you help my third uncle, isn't this already equal." ”
Hearing this, Pang Ying shook his head and said, "No, you have one more thing that you must do, and this matter is very important." ”
