Volume 32 [Hurried Qingcheng] Jianzhu Island is not peaceful (Chapter 359)
Jianzhu Island is not peaceful (Chapter 359)
The people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are under the restraint of Xingyun, and they are content with the place where they live, and there is nothing to disturb.
And in the past few days, Xingyun has put down everything, in addition to accompanying Yuan Sirong, he is to serve his master Mu Wudao people wholeheartedly, Mu Wudao people have worked hard for so long, and finally because of their disciples' struggle, they can rest and recuperate in their old age, so every time they see Xingyun, they have to praise them. Xingyun was busy with a lot of things right away, and he couldn't come to accompany him for a long time, so he did his best in the past few days, and he also saw Wuyangzi during this period, but because of his serious injury, he just said some comforting words and retreated.
So he stayed for a few more days, and when everything was safe, it was time for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to leave.
When the Ten Thousand Swords Sect went down the mountain, naturally there were people in Qingcheng to send them off, and Xingyun comforted Yuan Sirong one night earlier, so that he was spared the pain of parting at this moment.
After descending the mountain, Xingyun was going to Jianzhu Island to see the emperor, while Qin Baicheng and Xiao Shouchen went back to Anle Valley to arrange the establishment of a faction in Songshan.
Although the three of them had decided to establish a faction in Songshan a few days earlier, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect must have made all preparations here, otherwise no matter how strong the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was, they would not be able to go to the old site of Songshan empty-handed to cut down wood and build a house. And after the preparations are stopped, it will be announced to the world, so that the scenery of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect can be revealed, so it is not possible to prepare properly for a while to re-establish Songshan, but with Qin and Xiao in charge, Xingyun will naturally put his mind at ease.
After explaining and saying goodbye to everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Xingyun and Mr. Ming Fei set off and went straight to Dengzhou. Zhang Songshan and the other four personal guards naturally followed.
"I've been busy with mundane affairs these days, and I've neglected my husband. I hope that Mr. will not be surprised. At this time, he was on the road with Mr. Ming Fei, and Xingyun apologized first.
Although Mr. Ming Fei has also lived in the inner courtyard of Qingcheng these days, because Xingyun is always by the side of Muwudao and Yuan Sirong, he actually forgot to visit him, but someone left him so that he could land on the island with him, so Xingyun said this.
See Xingyun apologized. Mr. Ming Fei smiled: "The sect master is too polite, since ancient times, filial piety has come first, the master has been high in the spring and autumn, and he has worked hard for so many years, so it is natural to be a disciple and serve well, although the sect master is young, he can do this, Ming Fei is too late to admire, how can he be dissatisfied?" ”
Mr. Ming Fei is a person who respects his teacher very much, so he naturally appreciates Xingyun's performance, and he has also listened to the words of the people in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to Xingyun's name in the past few days. Therefore, he is commensurate with the suzerain.
I heard Mr. Ming Fei continue: "But the Sect Master was so bitter that Ming Fei was hiding it before, and I didn't expect that the Thunder Hero was the Sect Master. If it weren't for the shocking sword that day, Ming Fei would really not be sure, he did such a great good deed, but he didn't reveal his real name, compared to it, Ming Fei was still a lot worse. ”
Xingyun already has a good impression of Mr. Ming Fei. Just because of Mr. Ming Fei's sincerity, although he has the peerless master of the Emperor as his master and the noble identity that comes with it, and his martial arts are a master of the transformation level, he can still maintain such a simple character, which is really an outlier. There are too many intrigues in Xingyunjian, so I like to be with Mr. Ming Fei even more, and after listening to Mr. Ming Fei's words at this time, I was humble and relaxed.
During this time on the road, the results of the siege of Qingcheng by the eight factions have been spread. This is a huge thing, and it is naturally known all over the world.
All the way to the gallop. The rumors between the rivers and lakes were also in the ears of Xianyun, whether it was about the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or his own, they all made Xingyun feel that the rivers and lakes were shocked by the siege of Qingcheng! As for his own battle, it was even rumored to be divine, and some people were even saying that he was so exaggerated that he picked eight factions by himself, Xingyun had no choice but to smile bitterly, and said: "One person picks eight factions? Even a master of the Tongtian level could not do it. ”
As for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the legends of the rivers and lakes are even more bizarre, and naturally some people guessed that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was the so-called evil sect in the mouth of the big faction through Xingyun's double cultivation, but more people secretly had a good impression of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect that suddenly appeared, and a large part of this was due to the good deeds that Xingyun did.
"Ben Lei Daxia's sect will naturally not be an evil sect!"
"Mr. Ming Fei is friends with the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is naturally also decent!"
Naturally, many of these words were spread by Xiao Shouchen's subordinates at the behest of Xiao Shouchen, so as to build momentum for the re-emergence of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but it can be regarded as the truth.
And this siege of the eight factions broke the rules of the mountain in the rivers and lakes, which was quite criticized, and was forced to retreat by Xingyun and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, which made the status of the big faction in the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes drop a lot.
In addition, it is the news of the change of the head of Qingcheng, but because Qingcheng is closed, it is inconvenient for outsiders to congratulate, and it is only an announcement at this time, so it is just to attract some attention.
All of the above is really a variety of opinions, and so on.
And so on for more than half a month.
Although this horsepower is not as fast as the light power of Xingyun and Mr. Ming Fei, but after more than half a month of galloping, the six people have also arrived in Dengzhou, at this time Dengzhou is still as prosperous as before, but when the six people arrived at the wharf, they did not find the ethereal Tiangong ship that should have been moored here.
"Could it be that someone landed on the island before? Will the ship come back in the future? It's a pity that he left a few days before us, and he should have returned early, so who else can't land on the island? Mr. Ming Fei looked at the vacant seat and was suspicious.
You must know that the Ethereal Heavenly Palace only has two ships, one is responsible for daily purchases, and the other is responsible for personnel pick-up, but few guests are invited to land on the island on weekdays, so it is still rare to see such a situation as now.
Just when the six of them were about to find an inn and wait for two days to talk, they heard someone suddenly say: "Are you going to Jianzhu Island?" ”
Xingyun looked at it when he heard the words, and saw that it was a fisherman, a very ordinary person, and his skin was black-red from the sun's exposure and the smell of fishy all over his body showed his identity.
Looking at it again, the fisherman had no martial arts at all.
Xingyun was much more cautious at this time, and along the way, many people watched over him, thinking that he was sent by some famous family. It's just that his trip is above board, so he doesn't hide it. But undisguised does not show that he is not cautious. The fisherman suddenly came to take a stumble with them, and Xingyun naturally wanted to take a look.
After confirming that there was no problem with the fisherman, Xingyun asked, "The boat boss is right, we are going to the island, but we don't see the boat, do you know how long the boat has been gone?" ”
"Don't say that. I'm honest, I'm just fishing, but I'm not a boat boss. ”
Busy is shaking your hand.
Xingyun saw that this person was indeed an ordinary fisherman, so he asked again at the moment.
"It's been a while." Li honestly counted the number of days when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be able to calculate it clearly, and looked up at Xingyun: "I can't remember the specifics, but I don't think a few people should wait any longer, I'm afraid the boat won't come back." ”
Xingyun and Mr. Ming Fei were all at the same time when they heard this, and they both felt that this matter seemed to be a little bad, but they thought that there were three masters of the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor De, the Master of the Ethereal Heavenly Palace, and Guo Dingfu on the Sword Embroidery Island, what could happen? But even so. At this time, I still couldn't help but ask in unison: "Why?" ”
Na Li said honestly: "I don't know what happened on that island a few days ago when I look at you. ”
Xingyun listened to Li honestly speak a little unpleasantly, as if he was selling Guanzi. And Mr. Ming Fei immediately took out a handful of broken silver from his sleeve, and without looking at it carefully, he stuffed it all into Li Laoshi's hand, urging: "Tell me quickly, what happened?" ”
That Li Laoshi took the silver, and his eyes lit up. He didn't think of asking Xingyun for silver, but he was a little anxious when he saw them, and he wanted to sell it for a while, he was an ordinary fisherman, he just liked to show off in his mouth, even if he didn't take the silver, he would say it, but at this time, he didn't expect to get a handful of broken silver!
"That's not to say one, two, two, two, right?" That Li Laoshi was pleasantly surprised, but he was urged by Mr. Ming Fei to wake up, and said busily: "A few days ago, I went fishing. Of course, I can't go to Jianzhu Island within a radius of twenty miles, and I just put the net in the distance. Then I heard a sudden rumbling sound from the direction of the island! Damn, don't you know, it's like thunder on the ground! It's been ringing for an hour!
So I think something must have happened to the island, and I'm afraid that there will be no three or four days from that day to now, long past the time when they sent a boat to buy it on weekdays, but the boat on the island has not yet come, and the boat that went there before has not appeared, so I think that the boat will not come.
By the way, a lot of people heard it that day, and even the fish around here seemed to be frightened! You can ask the people around you and you'll see if I'm telling the truth. ”
The fisherman took the money, and although he did not speak very well, he was also careful, and when he heard it in the ears of Xingyun and the others, he was very worried.
"How is this possible? Listening to his words, it seems that there was a big battle on Jianzhu Island a few days ago! But with my master on the island, who can do such a thing? Could it be the master of the Ethereal Heavenly Palace? Mr. Ming Fei knew that the fisherman had no reason to deceive him, so he was even more anxious.
At this time, Zhang Songshan, who had been behind Xingyun, was also a little flustered, Guo Dingfu was their mentor, and these four people respected their teacher no less than Mr. Mingfei.
Xingyun frowned at this time, and said darkly: "It's not a way to be in a hurry about this matter, so it's better to find a boat and go to the island to find out." ”
Thinking of this, Xingyun said to Na Li honestly: "This boatman, we have something important to go to the island, I wonder if you can take us there?" Naturally, the fare will not be missing yours. ”
Mr. Ming Fei and Zhang Songshan were concerned about the chaos, and at this time they were busy nodding their heads after listening to Xingyun's words, but the fisherman shook his head like a rattle: "You don't want to joke, there are no foreign ships entering Jianxiu Island within twenty miles, although I am not young, but I just begged my daughter-in-law, and the baby has not yet been born, how can I send my life there?" If you don't go, you say that no matter how much land you pay for, you won't go. ”
Speaking of this, Li honestly added: "Don't say it's me, no matter how much money you give, you can't find anyone here anymore, no matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to spend." ”
The fisherman is not talking nonsense, after the Ethereal Heavenly Palace set up this rule, it was ruthless a few times, and under the word of mouth around it, it is naturally even more bizarre and terrifying, they are all ordinary fishermen, who dares to take this risk?
can hear that something seems to have happened on Jianzhu Island, and it is impossible for the six Xingyun people to have the patience to go to the boats one by one to find them, and they don't know how to handle the boats and sails, otherwise they may have to grab the boats.
At this moment, I saw Zhang Songshan's sword unsheathed and put it on Li Laoshi's neck: "If you don't take us there, then I want you to die now!" His face was already cold, and at this time, he was worried about the safety of his master, so he was naturally even colder, not to mention that Li Laoshi was an ordinary fisherman, even the people in the rivers and lakes would be stunned when they saw it, not to mention that the sword was on his neck?
Then Li Laoshi didn't think that he had an extra handful of broken silver first, but before he was happy for a while, he had an extra blade with a mouthful! The sword was on his neck, but the cold air flowed all over his body along the pores, and he was only frightened to turn blue, and he couldn't say half a word.
Xingyun saw Zhang Songshan make a move, originally wanting to stop it, but looking at Zhang Songshan's strength again, he understood that he was scaring the fisherman, and he thought: "At this time, things happened suddenly, so I had to compensate this person well." ”
Thinking of this, seeing that the fisherman was already speechless by Zhang Songshan, Xingyun arrived: "As long as you send us to the island, we will not kill you, and we will give you twenty taels of silver at that time, and we will ensure that you will not worry about your life." ”
After speaking, he took his eyes to signal Zhang Songshan, Zhang Songshan saw it, and took the sword back, he didn't want to kill people, but just asked the fisherman to promise to take them to the island.
As soon as Zhang Songshan's sword was withdrawn, Li Laoshi finally stopped feeling the compelling cold, his body was weak, and he almost fell, but he was held by Xingyun himself.
His face recovered slightly, and Li Laoshi knew that it was easy for these people in front of him to kill him, and secretly scolded himself: "Li Laoshi, Li Laoshi, you don't want to think about these people waiting for the boat to go to that island, can they be ordinary people?" Are you still talking? ”
However, the man was also a little awake, and then he thought: "They are going to that island, maybe they are familiar with the people on that island, and I am afraid that nothing will happen to me this time." ”
Thinking about the twenty taels of silver after his deed, he stomped his feet and said: "That's it, whoever asks me to talk more, a few masters will get on the boat, but my boat is small, and the horses can't carry it." ”
At this time, who cares about the horses? Naturally, he moved directly to the boat and headed for the sword and bamboo island.
