Chapter 119: Cooperation
The Lord of the Water City, in Xia Xiao Che, passing through your city, did not go to visit, and I hope to forgive me. "No one thought that Xiao Che would directly reveal his identity to Shui Mufeng.
Xiao Che can't help it, after all, the initiator of the Shuicheng case is by his side, if he fabricates his identity, if he finds out Shuimufeng, it will only cause more trouble, so it is better to simply admit it.
"Xiao Che, Your Excellency is the head of the Xuanfu?" Xiao Che reported his name, Shui Mufeng sounded very familiar, and he immediately remembered who Xiao Che was.
"It's down there. "Xiao Che is full of etiquette.
"The Lord of Water City, Shui Mufeng, officially invites you to gather at the mansion. "Mizuki looked very hospitable.
This made everyone in the store speculate about Xiao Che's origin.
The captain of the city guard army was even more surprised, he knew very well that this water city lord was not usually such a hospitable person, but he naturally did not show anything.
"Return to you, every one of you. Shui Mufeng left a sentence, and without looking back, he took Xiao Che and his party to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Yes, City Lord. The captain of the city guard hurriedly left with his men and his brother.
Along the way, Xiao Che and Shui Mufeng talked happily, Huo Qing and Zhou Xiaodie looked like masters, and Dongya did not show the slightest flaw.
Soon, the five of them came to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion in Shuicheng is very different from the architectural style that Xiao Che has seen in the past, and he saw that there is a character tablet at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, and the text on it looks quite ancient, not the text of this era. Xiao Che couldn't read it, he didn't know what was written on it, he looked at Huo Qing, and Huo Qing also shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.
The gate of the castle lord's mansion is carved with a mythical beast that I don't know what it is called. The reason why it is said to be a divine beast is strange, although it is only a pattern, but the eyes of the divine beast above are the finishing touch. Anyone who looks at it will involuntarily have a sense of insignificance, and this feeling can only appear in the face of "God".
Although there is no "god" in this world, there are many records and paintings of God. Especially the Qingxuan family, which is the lineage of the well-known "gods".
Dragon Man Qingxuan is undoubtedly a "god" level cultivator.
The divine beast on the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is obviously not simple. However, Xiao Che's first reaction was who was more powerful, he and the dragon man Qingxuan.
If others knew Xiao Che's thoughts, they would definitely laugh at him for thinking nonsense.
As soon as he entered the door, he could see a tree that was not tall, but Xiao Che faintly felt that this tree was extraordinary. It's like an intelligent life.
Sure enough, when everyone walked past the tree, they saw a pair of eyes and a mouth on the trunk, and the branches looked like hands, greeting Xiao Che and them.
Seeing this, everyone except Huo Qing was surprised.
Although they knew from books that such a existence did exist in the world, it was the first time they had actually seen it. It was an eye-opener for them.
Huo Qing has been in the world for so many years, and he has seen a lot of strange nature. It can be said that every martial artist who can live to his part is an encyclopedia.
You must know that people who can cultivate to the top of the Xuantian Realm will have less knowledge?
Like Xiao Che, Zhou Xiaodie, and even Dongya, for these people, the path of cultivation is just beginning.
Not only are there rare beings like ancient trees in the City Lord's Mansion, but there are also many demon beasts walking through it. They are like gentlemen invited by the city lord's mansion, who are teaching the children in the mansion their respective skills.
Seeing this, Xiao Che couldn't help but be amazed.
Those just now were just the outer courtyards of the City Lord's Mansion, but Xiao Che could feel that the outer courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was actually much larger than what it looked from the outside. The interior of the person who thinks about it has different space rules than the outside.
Huo Qing felt this the deepest.
Soon they entered the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are very different, and to their surprise, the architectural style of the inner courtyard is very similar to that of the water city, but it is much more refined. It can be said that the architectural style of the water city is built in imitation of the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
Seeing this, and referring to what he had seen and heard along the way before, Xiao Che had a bold guess.
Mizuki Feng led them to the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion. It's quite spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people, but with only five of them at the moment, it's a little empty.
"Please be seated. Shui Mufeng had a kind face, although he seemed to be a gentle person, but when Xiao Che swept his eyes, he only saw indifference in his eyes.
This Shuimu Feng is not a good person.
"What does Mansion Master Xiao think of my Water City?" asked Mizuki Feng seemingly casually.
"It's beautiful. Xiao Che praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, I didn't expect the Lord of the Xiao Mansion to be such an elegant person. Shui Mufeng was also happy when he heard Xiao Che's praise. No matter who you are, you like to listen to the praise of others.
"Lord of Water City, when I didn't enter the door just now, I saw a word tablet standing at the door, but the words on it were not recognizable. Dare to ask, what is the origin of this monument?" The matter of the stele has been pestering Xiao Che, and taking this opportunity, Xiao Che asked out loud.
"The Lord of the Xiao Mansion has good eyesight, to be honest, don't look at the interior of the City Lord's Mansion, all kinds of strange existences exist in it, but in fact, the most important thing in the entire City Lord's Mansion is that word tablet. But after all these years, no one could make out the words on it. Not to mention knowing what they mean. Shui Mufeng didn't hide anything from Xiao Che.
"If that's the case, could it be related to the divine beast on the door?" Xiao Che said his guess.
"The lord of the Xiao Mansion is really smart, our city lords have been studying for generations, and finally only came to one conclusion, the words on this stele may be related to the divine beast engraved on the door, but after so many years, we have consulted a large number of ancient books, but there is no trace of understanding of this divine beast. Saying that, Mizuki Feng was a little helpless.
"Then this divine beast, could it not be a creature of our world?" Xiao Che thought for a moment and asked his doubts.
"Perhaps, no one knows. Mizuki obviously didn't want to continue dwelling on this issue.
"By the way, Mansion Lord Xiao, have you heard about the case that happened in Shuicheng?" Mizuki Feng suddenly changed the subject and continued.
"I heard that, I was about to say to the city lord, Wanwang Day mourning. Saying that, Xiao Che saluted Mizuki Feng.
Mizuki was busy returning the courtesy.
"Outside they said that it was my brother-in-law who died, and that I would do my best to avenge him. Mansion Master Xiao, do you believe it?" said Mizuki Feng suddenly.
"Uh. Xiao Che didn't know how to answer.
"To be honest, I have to thank this Dongya brother for helping me get rid of a big problem. The words that Shui Mufeng said made everyone unexpected, and besides, he still said it to Dongya.
This made Xiao Che, Zhou Xiaodie, and Dongya rush up from their chairs. Immediately, the atmosphere was tense.
Even Xiao Che was frightened by Shui Mufeng's words, he never thought that Shui Mufeng already knew Dongya's identity. But now, listening to Mizuki's words, how can it be so awkward?
Xiao Che couldn't say why, but he vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't be sure, or he didn't dare to be sure.
"To tell you the truth, Lord Xiao, when you entered that teahouse, I recognized you, except for this old man and this girl, you and Dongya, although they have changed their appearances, but my inspector of Shuicheng is not a decoration. Mizuki Feng told the story and the plate.
"It seems that I still underestimate the heroes of the world. After listening to Shui Mufeng's words, Xiao Che also shook his head and smiled.
"Don't say that, I brought you here today to talk openly about both sides, in order to cooperate with you. Then Mizuki Feng told his true intentions.
He said that he wanted to cooperate with Xiao Che and them, and this was true.
In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the city lord of Shuicheng, who seems to have infinite scenery, is much more bitter than ordinary people. In addition to his own ability, a large reason why he was able to sit on the position of this city lord was his wife's background and the power of his brother-in-law.
From the day Mizuki Feng became the lord of Mizuki City, Mizuki was actually in the hands of his wife and brother-in-law. The city lord himself is just a puppet in name only. Although his cultivation is much stronger than that of his wife and brother-in-law. But it can't compare to their family.
Over the years, Shui Mufeng has not shown up much in Shuicheng, and that's it, not because he has a weak heart, but because he is controlled everywhere in the City Lord's Mansion.
He couldn't stand such a day for a long time, but he still had to endure it, after all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
This time, his brother-in-law was wiped out by Dongya, which made him see the hope of regaining the true jurisdiction of Shuicheng.
Over the years, he has focused on cultivating the city guards, after all, only this city guard system that has always been passed down is something that his wife and brother-in-law can never and dare not interfere with.
The city guards are in the water city, not only the spokesperson of the city lord, but also to protect the safety of the city lord.
Over the years, Mizuki Feng has secretly cultivated a lot of his own forces, such as the city guards are his hardcore team, from top to bottom, he will only obey his orders.
However, due to the terrible power of the family behind his wife and brother-in-law, Mizuki still has no practical action. He was still dormant like a poisonous snake, lurking, waiting for the perfect moment.
Dongya killed his brother-in-law all over the house, which helped him even more.
At this time, he felt that now was the time to deal with his wife.
Xiao Che's background, he had already checked, which surprised him and made him very happy.
Shui Mufeng didn't expect that Xiao Che and Dongya would be partners together.
This made him effortlessly invite the two to discuss cooperation.
Although he didn't know the background of the old man and Zhou Xiaodie, he could naturally see from his cultivation that these two were by no means simple people.
However, looking at their appearance, they were all dominated by Xiao Che, which made Shui Mufeng very strange.
Although his cultivation was not as good as Huo Qing's, he was much better than the other three. In his opinion, it is not a simple matter for a strong person to be able to serve as an entourage. It can only show that Xiao Che's background is very strong.
In fact, he guessed completely wrong, Xiao Che did not have a strong background, and the relationship between these people and Xiao Che was not what he imagined.
Xiao Che could accurately judge that this Water City Lord was not lying, but Xiao Che also knew in his heart that this City Lord was not a good person.
If you are not careful, you will definitely be cheated by him to grandma's house.
But after thinking about it, this is not all without benefits, if you can help Shui Mufeng, you can also make some benefits in this water city. Xiao Che's first thought was to have a permanent place, but it was not possible to think about it.
If one day the two sides turn against each other, even if Shui Mufeng promises Xiao Che to give him a piece of space, it is a matter of Shui Mufeng's words to take it back, and it is really impossible to get it.
Soon, though, he had an idea.
"Lord of Water City, there is nothing wrong with our cooperation, this is also a strong alliance, I need Water City to announce that it will become a friendly force with Xuanfu. Then Xiao Che gave the answer.
This answer didn't make Shui Muran think of it, but when he thought about it, this was simply a condition that couldn't be smaller for him.
said that he was going to sign a contract with Xiao Che.
However, as soon as the contract arrived, Xiao Che burned it down.
"Lord of the Water City, let's not sign the contract, let's just swear by high-fives according to the method of the warrior. As he spoke, Xiao Che raised his right palm
"Is that what the Lord of the Xiao Mansion wants?" Shui Muran's words were a little puzzled.
"Yes. Xiao Che affirmed.
"Okay, you guys can stay for dinner in the evening. Mizukifeng's current tone didn't look like a dominating city lord at all, but just an ordinary requester.
However, Xiao Che did not accept his banquet, you must know that the banquet is not a casual seat.
Soon Xiao Che said goodbye to Shui Mufeng.
This was the first time they had met, and Xiao Che didn't want to stay here for too long. And told Shui Mufeng that if he wanted to go back to the Qingxuan Empire, let him make full preparations during this time, and when Xiao Che and the others returned, the two sides would formulate a detailed method to deal with Shui Mufeng's wife.
Shuimu Feng saw that what Xiao Che said was reasonable, so he agreed. He gave Xiao Che a contact and a warrant. can let Xiao Che come and go at any time.
Xiao Che took these without stopping for a moment, and quickly left with the three of them.
Xiao Che didn't want to stay here for too long, for him, this City Lord's Mansion could "swallow them" at any time.
After seeing Xiao Che and them leave, Shui Muran stared at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for a moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Che's speed was not ordinary, he had to escape from here quickly. This puzzled the other three. However, at the moment, there is no question about this situation.
With Mizukikaze's warrant, it's much easier to get out of the city.
The city gate guards naturally did not dare to stop them, checked the warrants, and after confirming that they were correct, they let them go.
When they left the city, Xiao Che and the four of them ran out of a hundred miles in one breath before stopping.
"What's wrong?" Zhou wondered. The other two also looked at Xiao Che.
"Don't you feel it?" Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Xiao Che was very puzzled.
"What does it feel?" Huo Qing seemed to sense something, but he wasn't sure.
Zhou Xiaodie and Dongya didn't feel anything.
"That City Lord's Mansion is alive. Then Xiao Che's words made them all break out in a cold sweat.
"This, it's true!" Dongya couldn't believe it.
"The exercises I practice are a bit special, and I am very sensitive to these strange beings, and I can't be wrong. Xiao Che affirmed, but what he said in his heart was, you can't help it, forgive me for lying.
Knowing these is not because of any exercises, but because of Xiao Yuan.
You must know that Xiao Yuan is the only elf in this Xuantian Realm. The elf is the most divine and the closest to the essence of the world, and his perception will certainly not be wrong.
When Xiao Yuan told Xiao Che about this, Xiao Che's first reaction was to run, and the farther he ran, the better.
However, Xiao Yuan also said that although this city lord's mansion has life, it is a rather strange life, called a spirit.
According to Xiao Yuan's words, this City Lord's Mansion is equivalent to an "artifact", and the so-called living beings are the spirit of this "artifact".
The spirit is a very strange life, it is not directly born of heaven and earth, but is created. Of course, the Tao created all things and created all things, and the creation of all things and the spirit was also creation.
That's why there is a saying that all things have spirits.
That's what it means.
Those who can give birth to spirits are "artifacts". For example, the Xuantian Realm will never exist, and if it exists, it can only come from the "God Realm".
As we all know, the divine realm exists, and it is by no means ethereal. Not to mention far away, it is the dragon people Qing Xuan and Xiao Xuan, who obviously went to the god realm.
Whether it is a legend or a historical record, if you break through the nine grades of the Supreme Realm, that is the "god". However, over the years, it has been recorded in historical records that in the Xuantian Realm, only Xiao Xuan broke through to become a god.
As for whether there was a breakthrough to become a god before him, no one knows.
The history of the Xuantian Realm is like a fault for some reason. It is said that it started with the demons. But Xiao Che didn't see it that way, as far as he knew, the demon race was not a native life of the Xuantian Realm, but an alien species.
Because of this, it is extremely powerful.
In fact, Xiao Che didn't know that the demon race in the Xuantian Realm was almost much more powerful and potentially than the local demon race at the same level.
In the Xuantian Realm, the reason why the demons are invincible is because this place is extremely suitable for the demons. Whether it is the speed of cultivation or the solid foundation, the demons here give full play to it.
For some reason, Xiao Che always felt that the Xuantian Realm was not simple. You must know that there are the legendary four beast kings here, and there are strange existences like Tu Yu and Xiao Yuan. Even the Qingxuan family is quite extraordinary.
How many secrets are hidden in the Xuantian Realm?
Sometimes Xiao Che even wondered, is the human race really the native race of the Xuantian Realm? Otherwise, in the Xuantian Realm, why are so few people able to break through to become "gods"?
Maybe the human race, like the demon race, is not the native race of the Xuantian Realm.
Xiao Che only felt that this Xuantian Realm was too mysterious, as if it was covered with a thick veil, and no one could see the truth.
However, Xiao Che couldn't think about it that much now, all they had to do now was to leave here as quickly as possible. Go to the deserted city and arrange the people in Stone City, so that he can have the spare strength to do the things of traveling to the Qingyuan Continent.
One Qingyuan Continent and Wuzhou Continent are so exciting, I really don't know what kind of surprise other continents will have.
The addition of Dongya has made this team even stronger, Xiao Che doesn't know that this journey is not as he wanted, but there have been many incidents, but there are also many gains.
