Volume 2 Chapter 110 The Manifestation of the Sea God
The entire imperial court dignitaries of the Southern Tang Dynasty were all on the island, this was a huge loophole, Nan'an City was almost empty, and the remaining forbidden army soldiers were standing lazily at their posts, they were not too excited.
Because there is nothing to do with them today, everyone went to the beach, and the people who stayed behind probably did not mix well, which is probably their own inner thoughts.
But after today, there will be a three-day break for shifts, which is pretty good, so for this, today's work as a guard must be maintained.
More than half of the people in the city also ran to the sea, and today is an extraordinary day, which is considered to be a major festival immediately after the parade of the god of flowers.
Early in the morning, men, women and children dressed up and poured from the city to the seaside, so now there are few pedestrians in Nan'an City, and it seems very quiet and deserted.
The streets of Longxingfang in the south of the city are empty, and at this moment, even those bad people who patrol the streets are sitting in the house drinking and chatting at this time, they accuse themselves of naturally not being able to go to the beach, but others are watching the excitement but let them patrol, they don't do this kind of stupid thing.
People with pointed ears suddenly heard a strange footstep in the street, the sound was unhurried, but every step was on the heart, and it was very uncomfortable.
The bad handsome Ren Xiaomang put down the wine bowl and gave his brother a look, and the man immediately slipped out of the door to observe, and after a while, he reported: "It's a person, wearing a hat!
"What's strange?" asked Ren Xiaomang unconcernedly, throwing a peanut into his mouth.
"The man was holding a handful in his hand, wrapped in cloth, and I couldn't tell what it was, in my experience, it looked like a knife!"
"Bring a knife!" Ren Xiaomang jumped up, he realized that something was wrong, and waved the brothers below to follow him out of the house and into the street.
Looking left and right, I found that there was a figure at the corner of the street on the right and turned to the direction of Pingyi Fang!
"Head, do you want to go up and have a look?" asked one of his men.
Ren Xiaomang said angrily: "What is it? What is the place in front of you? Who dares to make trouble there? Do you not want to live?"
The subordinate stuck out his tongue and said: "Don't you say that you almost forgot, the compound of those immortals in Xianji Province is there, and it is indeed a place where no one dares to make trouble, but I heard that many immortals have also gone to the beach today, will the strength be a little weak?"
"You know what a fart!" Ren Xiaomang scolded: "Who will really powerful immortals go to see the Nalao Shizi Festival, they are well-informed and don't like to watch the excitement for a long time, these capable people meditate and practice every day and don't ask about world affairs, anyway, the court gives them all kinds of offerings! They don't bother to worry about foreign affairs!"
"The head is right, since we can't control it, what the hell are you doing? Go back and drink. ”
......
There is indeed a huge mansion in Pingyi Fang, which is just a foothold of Xianji Province in Nan'an City, because according to the habits of immortal cultivators, it takes a lot of areas, mainly because of the adjustment of various areas into a special environment.
The environment required by immortal cultivators is generally not too particular, but there are also people who have special requirements for the environment, but this is a minority after all, and most immortal cultivators are very satisfied as long as they have their own quiet room and a formation that can be controlled at any time.
Lin Jue was sitting in one of the rooms now, and he didn't open the formation, because he needed to deliver the message at any time, and the formation would hinder the paper kite that delivered the message.
Lin Jue did not follow His Majesty the Emperor to the island temple to worship the sea god, he had other tasks, and he was sitting in the room at the moment staring at the door of the compound.
Across the street, across the street is a teahouse, and in the private room on the second floor, a guest wearing a hat is sitting and drinking tea!
The knife-like weapon he was carrying was wrapped in cloth and placed on the table next to him.
Anyone who sees this thing for the first time will think that it is a knife, the knife is the king of a hundred soldiers, and most of the immortal cultivators will not choose the knife as their natal weapon in the choice of weapons.
Because the knife is too big, it is obviously inferior to the sword, the sword master is narrow and long, although it can have such an attack as slashing, but the biggest advantage of the sword is penetration!
Penetration lies in the speed and power of the stab, the faster the piercing, the greater the strength, the higher the success rate of penetration!
But the knife is different, since it is a knife, then its biggest feature is "cut!" and the knife is also the best at cutting!
The main purpose of the monk's cultivation of the sword is strength, the greater the strength, the more crisp the cut, if the blade is narrow, it is likely to not withstand the blessing of strength, so the knife must be wide and heavy.
The weapon wrapped in cloth is obviously a knife, this thing is heavy, but it does not show mountain dew, and there is no sense of murder and heaviness on the table.
But Lin Jue's feeling was different in the compound of Xianji Province across the street! From the moment a hat player appeared, Lin Jue noticed it, and he was even more staring at it at the moment.
He didn't go to the beach to watch the sacrificial ceremony today, the main purpose is this, Lin Jue is the most critical person representing the Southern Tang Xianji Province, and only he can directly enter the palace to contact the royal family, but other people are not allowed.
But his task today is not to protect the emperor in the palace, nor on the island, but to sit in the compound of Xianji Province in the capital city of Nan'an.
After about a cup of tea, Lin Jue noticed a slight change in his breath, he was no longer sitting, but stood up and walked out of the house, walked out of the compound, and stood directly at the door and looked at the private room on the second floor of the tea house opposite.
The window of the private room was open, and the hateholder, holding a cup of tea in his right hand, turned to look at him, and the man's hat was still not removed, but no one thought it was superfluous, as if the man should have taken the hat.
It's not raining, and wearing a hat just to cover my face, this is not a deliberate attempt to be different, but an attitude, that is, - I don't want to be seen, because it's annoying!
"Legend has it that the reason why the Nanhai faction fell apart was because there was a branch of the Hainan Crazy Sword Stream among them! No one in the world seems to have believed for a long time that someone would cultivate the sword to such a high level!"
"As long as you are willing to cultivate, you will definitely fix it. The hatper in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse said.
Lin Jue's conversation with him was across a wide street, but the conversation between the two was very casual as if they were sitting across the table, no one was blurry, and all of them were clearly transmitted to each other's ears.
"You shouldn't be here. Lin Jue said.
The hatholder was originally called He Wuji, and at this moment he put down the teacup and smiled lightly: "I'm here to kill you, how can I kill you if I don't come?"
Lin Jue suddenly felt very funny: "Hehe, you can't kill me, since you can kill me, you have already done it, why do you still want to breathe there?"
He Wuqian said: "Because the time has not yet come." ”
Lin Jue said: "I think it's already here." ”
"I don't think it's there yet!" He Wujian picked up a cup of tea again.
Lin Jue raised his head and looked to the south, and a blood-red cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, like a hook hanging upside down!
The celestial phenomena seemed to reflect the changes on the ground, and at this moment, above the sea, the rebel ships of the offshore sailors were gradually surrounding the convoy of escorts.
The shouting and killing sound was not intense, but the rain of arrows flying all over the sky showed the fierceness of the battle, especially the powerful bed crossbow on the warship, so that the crossbow arrows were as thick as a child's arm, and a large number of soldiers were pierced to death on the arrows and crossbows!
Such crossbow arrows not only have an amazing effect on the human body, even immortal cultivators do not dare to resist, crossbow arrows also have huge damage to the hull, and the thick planks of the hull are often pierced in, and blood flows out of the hull along the cracks.
The ships escorted by the Southern Tang Forbidden Army were slowly forced towards the dock of the island, which was crowded with ships, including His Majesty's dragon boat!
More and more ships were crowded here and couldn't free up the distance at all, and the opponent's attack became even sharper, and finally a few large ships also pressed up, with several special devices erected on the bow, that is, the Yuan Qi Arrow!
The killing force of the Yuan Qi Arrow is very amazing, it is the main deterrent weapon of the military, and there are not many equipped among the sailors on the outlying islands!
There was a smell of sulfur in the air, and looking at the soldiers on the other side's giant ship holding torches, the forbidden army was immediately shocked!
At that time, all the warships crowded on the docks here will be burned to ashes, and they will not be able to get close to the docks now, and even the possibility of escaping to the shore is very small!
Duan Minghui's face was as ashen at this moment! The emperor's courtiers had already retreated to the Pirate Temple, and if the forbidden army was still on the ship, then the entire army would be wiped out when the fire was along.
The situation became very critical, the people on the shore were even more frightened, countless people turned pale, some people cried loudly, more people began to flee back to Nan'an City, tomorrow is the national chaos, at this time the most things to think about, everyone is different, more people probably just want to flee for their lives.
At this moment, someone suddenly lost his voice in surprise, followed by more people and began to shout: "The sea god Niangniang is holy!"
"The god of the sea has appeared!" The people on the top of the mountain shouted, the people below the mountain shouted, the people on the seashore shouted, the people on the pier shouted! Even the people on the warship shouted.
In the distance, above the sea, under the mist, a god-like figure was revealing its true face, it was a beautiful woman in palace clothes, wearing very gorgeous jewelry, but it looked very tall!
The sea is now in chaos, and there is a lot of smoke and fog wafting, there is no sea breeze at the moment, but many people are sweating, and the appearance of that god is almost exactly the same as that of the sea god!
If it's not the appearance of the god of the sea, then what is it?
At this time, no one noticed that there was a small speedboat on the surface of the sea that was heading quickly towards the sea where the Poseidon Niangniang was manifested.
