Chapter 4: The Rain Comes
The building ship with the flag of the "Gongsun" family sailed slowly, and in the airy viewing cabin on both sides of the second floor, there was a table of heroes who drank and talked happily.
Gongsun Xiu held a wine glass and entertained the six newly recruited talents, these six people are not bad at cultivation, and two of them are at the peak level of the God Refining Realm, which is enough for the Gongsun family to be treated as guests.
And what Gongsun Xiu paid the most attention to was the old Taoist priest who claimed to be a Qinggu Taoist.
Martial artists are good at fighting to the death, but exploring cemeteries is not their forte.
Those who understand feng shui are either Taoist priests or warlocks, most of the former are liars, and the latter are rare.
And that Qinggu Dao Chief, Gongsun Xiu has already tried the water, and he does know a little about the art of Kanyu, and he also knows a little bit about the formation.
"Tonight's exploration of the Nanshan Tomb is all up to you. ”
Gongsun Xiu raised his glass with a smile.
At the banquet, the martial artist hurriedly raised his glass, knowing that Miss Gongsun was polite, the Gongsun family was one of the best snakes in Yongzhou, inherited for more than 300 years, and the contemporary head of the family was a martial artist many years ago.
There is only one step away from the fourth grade, and once he is promoted to the fourth grade, he will be the overlord of the rivers and lakes.
In addition, the seven-grade refining god and the six-grade copper skin and iron bones, the Gongsun family exceeds the number of hands.
However, the speaker of the generation of the Gongsun family is the eldest lady in front of her, she is beautiful, wearing a moon-white dress with wide sleeves and a pleated loose skirt.
Beauty Sven, like a well-informed lady.
But those who are familiar with this eldest lady know that this female cultivator is extremely high, and she just entered the power of transformation last year, and in the Gongsun family, only the head of the family can suppress her.
In addition, she has also made achievements in business, and the industry of the Gongsun family is thriving under her care.
There are many young heroes in Yongzhou who are willing to be sons-in-law for the Gongsun family.
After drinking a cup, everyone continued to enjoy the food and the fat crabs, Gongsun Xiu had no appetite, looked sideways, looked at the lake scenery, and looked at the large and small boats around him.
Looking at the approaching "Wang Ji Fish Fang"? See on deck? A few well-fed children ran out of the cabin to play.
............
"We eat ours. ”
Xu Qi'an said a word, and then moved his gaze back? Nibbling on crab legs by himself.
He's going to go to the dungeon tonight? Find the dried corpse to borrow fingernails, venom, and corpse gas, and pick up the wool of the thousand-year-old corpse.
But the move of the Gongsun family? Let him have a little headache, continue to publicize it with such fanfare? The bigger the noise? The more people will die.
Below the third grade, in front of the remains of the mysterious Taoist, how is it different from the local chicken and tile dog?
Wait for that ancient corpse to grab more and more essence blood, so as to accumulate strength to break the seal? It will be a disaster.
The kingdom will die, and there will be demons? This sentence is confirmed in all aspects........... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart.
Outside the window, there was a silver bell-like laughter, and when I looked sideways, I saw a few well-fed crab children playing outside, chasing and frolicking along the aisle outside the cabin.
What kind of clothes are they wearing? The fabric is high-quality, and I think it is from a well-to-do family? But it's a lot worse than being rich and expensive.
During the chase, a tiger-headed child in order to grab the road? Squeezed the girl in front of her hard.
The girl lost her balance and screamed and fell towards the lake.
Xu Qi'an put down the crab legs in his hand? A dark light in your eyes? The body disappears suddenly? The next moment, he emerged from the shadow of the little girl and grabbed the little girl's back collar.
The shadow of the dark Gu jumps.
"Wow......."
Several children around him looked at him with adoration on their faces.
Xu Qi'an backhanded a scalp, cut one for each person, and said: "Go back to the cabin, dare to come out and make a fool of yourself, Lao Tzu will beat you to death." ”
The tone of speech has a strong Jianghu style.
The boat of "Wang Kee Fish Fang" also acts as a fishing boat, and in order to facilitate the pulling of fishing nets, there is no guardrail on the deck, which is not very safe.
A few children were beaten, but they didn't dare to speak up, and walked away.
He returned to the cabin, and not long after he sat down, a couple came with a child in her hand, the little girl who had just fallen into the lake.
"Thank you, brother, for the rescue. ”
The young man thanked him, and he was dressed very decently in the fashionable long gown.
The little woman wore a golden step on her head.
Xu Qi'an waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, you invited this table of crabs." ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be." ”
After a few more thanks, he went back with a smile on his face.
The little girl was dragged away by her mother, and suddenly turned back and grimaced at the grumpy monster.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Nanyu felt that his mood was a little strange.
Xu Qi'an said angrily: "Damn, it's going to rain." ”
The mood suddenly changed to a very bad mood.
Mu Nanyu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked out the window, the sun was shining, where was there any sign of rain?
...........
On the other side, Gongsun Xiu, who witnessed the whole process, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes and said:
"Guys, can anyone see how he just made a move?"
Several vulgar martial artists frowned and looked at each other, they didn't notice the scene just now.
After Gongsun Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly showed a look of surprise, and everyone was well-informed, and they couldn't say why.
But the old Taoist priest with a goat's beard muttered:
"Listening to the description of the eldest lady, that should be the means of the Gu Clan's Dark Gu Department. When Poor Dao traveled to southern Xinjiang in his early years, he saw their methods, and he was good at jumping out of the shadows. ”
Gongsun Xiu frowned and said, "The methods of the Gu clan can be spread outside?"
"Naturally not. ”
"That person is not from southern Xinjiang. Gongsun Xiu said.
Qinggu Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Then maybe Lao Dao guessed wrong?"
Gongsun Xiu didn't hesitate, immediately got up, and said with a smile: "When I meet a master, the little woman goes over to say hello, you are light." ”
She grabbed two chopsticks and shook her hands and threw them out.
Two chopsticks pierced into the lake, and slowly surfaced, Gongsun Xiu jumped out of the second-floor cabin, she was as light as a weightless feather, flying across the lake, her toes on the two chopsticks, the chopsticks sank slightly, only a slight ripple.
But she took advantage of her strength to sweep dozens of feet and landed firmly on the deck of "Wang Ji Fish Fang".
Far away, near, but all the tourists who saw this scene applauded.
Xu Qi'an also noticed this scene, but he didn't realize that this beautiful woman was looking for him, and took the time to comment:
"Not bad, yes, the five grades are all powerful, and the kung fu is very handsome. ”
The princess was envious of this ability to fly around.
If she had such means, she would not have ridden a horse, and her ass would not have been sore.
Gongsun Xiu entered the cabin, his eyes swept over the diners in the cabin, quickly locked on Xu Qi'an's table, walked over with a smile on his face, and hugged his fists generously:
"The little girl Gongsun Xiu, I don't know the name of my brother Taigao. ”
Xu Qi'an looked at her and responded, "Xu Qian." ”
He changed Xu to Xu, and Qi'an to "Qian".
Gongsun Xiu said with a smile: "I am fortunate to know Brother Xu, and the little woman is very happy. ”
You're rejoicing too soon........ Xu Qi'an complained angrily, then restrained his irritable emotions, and said lightly:
"Is there something wrong with Miss Gongsun?"
Gongsun Xiu took the opportunity and said: "If you don't mind, can you ask Brother Xu to move to Gongsun's house for a while?"
She looked at the big ship with the flag of "Gongsun".
Xu Qi'an's heart moved, he was worried that the Gongsun family's exploration of the underground palace would help the ancient corpse unlock the seal, and immediately bowed his head:
"Good!"
He turned to the princess and said, "You are waiting for me here." ”
Mu Nanyu glanced at Gongsun Xiu, and Pu Liu's posture retracted his gaze and nodded reassuringly: "Oh." ”
Gongsun Xiu, who was labeled as "Pu Liu's Posture" by the first beauty of Dafeng, smiled and was beautiful, and said:
"Please!"
The two of them got out of the cabin, and Gongsun Xiu said, "I'll let someone send a small boat over." ”
After speaking, she listened to the mediocre-looking young man in Tsing Yi beside her shake his head and said, "You just have to go back." ”
Gongsun Xiu didn't talk nonsense, nodded happily, and showed off his body again, his toes connected the dots on the two chopsticks, light as goose feathers, swept out dozens of zhang, and returned to the deck of his own building ship smoothly.
Fang Fu settled, she seemed to sense something, Huo Ran turned around, and saw a black shadow coming out of her shadow, turning into a young man in green clothes.
Is it really a person from the Gu clan? Gongsun Xiu said quietly: "Brother Xu is a good method. ”
Xu Qi'an nodded indifferently, and under the guidance of Gongsun Xiu, he entered the cabin and came to the observation hall on the second floor.
The hall is not big, the decoration is antique, and there are five men with vigorous blood sitting at the round table, and an old Taoist priest wearing an old Taoist robe.
The six of them either looked sideways, or turned their heads to look over, their eyes scrutinizing.
Gongsun Xiu introduced with a smile and introduced Xu Qi'an to everyone.
"Who is Brother Xu?" asked a man who practiced Qi Realm.
"People from the capital. Xu Qi'an said.
The martial artists, who were originally not interested in him, their eyes lit up, and they smiled: "Have you seen Xu Yingong?"
Xu Qi'an took a seat and responded: "I've met a few times." ”
When Gongsun Xiu heard this, he joined the topic with great interest:
"I heard that Xu Yinluo has a good demeanor and is a rare beautiful man in the world. ”
Xu Yinluo's deeds and legends have been heard too much, and as an unmarried woman, she is more curious and interested in the appearance of that legendary figure.
Xu Qi'an groaned for a while and sighed: "He is the man with the best skin I have ever seen, every time I see him, I can't help but feel the injustice of God." ”
Skinskin is the best......... Gongsun Xiu's eyelashes trembled, and he muttered to himself: "What a strange man." ”
Damn, my braggart stink still hasn't changed, and I can't forget the lessons of the fragments of the book from the ground......... Xu Qi's heart was self-reflective.
Next, it was a flattery around Xu Yinluo, and the martial artists admired the famous Xu Yinluo very much, and bluntly said that without Xu Yinluo, there would be no Dafeng.
The feat of killing the monarch has spread to Yongzhou, which is not far from the capital.
Gongsun Xiuyi ended the topic unfinished, talked about business, and said:
"Brother Xu, how long have you been in Yongzhou? Have you heard about the boiling tomb recently? The Gongsun family is recruiting talented people to go down to the tomb to explore together.
The little woman saw that Brother Xu was superb, and wanted to invite Brother Xu to explore the tomb together. ”
The table full of martial artists remained silent, there was no objection to this, the tomb was dangerous, and it was good to have someone to share the pressure.
If the strength is strong, then a piece of the pie is deserved, if the strength is not good, it is no wonder who died in the tomb.
Xu Qi'an didn't agree immediately, and asked in a deep voice:
"What do you know about the Underground Tomb?"
Gongsun Xiu told the story:
"The first to discover the tomb was the hunter in the mountain, who accidentally fell into the collapsed cave and found a tomb in the belly of the mountain. Then the news came in Yongzhou City.
"In fact, before the Gongsun family closed Nanshan, many people from the rivers and lakes had gone down to explore the tomb, but none of them could come back. After the Gongsun family got the news, they organized people to go to the tomb, and they also lost contact, I am afraid that there will be more luck than lucky.
"However, we found that the tomb was made of green oka stone, and it was of extremely high standard, and there must be a heavy treasure inside. ”
The biggest treasure there has been taken by me, and only a thousand-year-old corpse remains.......... Xu Qi'an said:
"This tomb is fierce, the martial artist doesn't understand the feng shui and formation, so he boldly enters, the fierce is more auspicious and less, and the eldest lady thinks twice. ”
Gongsun Xiu smiled and did not speak, but looked at Qinggu Lao Dao.
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled: "According to the observation of the poor Dao, this tomb has had an extremely terrible collapse due to its age, and there is a formation inside, and it is also broken. There may still be a little bit of danger left, and the previous groups of people should have died from that few dangers.
"Therefore, this time, the Gongsun family took the lead and organized us to go to the tomb together, and everyone could also get a piece of the pie. ”
Xu Qi'an looked at the beautiful eldest lady of the Gongsun family and said:
"When are you going to go down to the grave?"
Gongsun Xiu said: "Tonight." ”
Tonight, it's just a matter of using this group of people to explore the way first, touch the condition of the ancient corpse, and see how much of its strength has recovered.......... Xu Qi'an knew that with just a few words of his own, it was impossible to dispel this group of people in the rivers and lakes who yearned for the tomb.
He twisted his wine glass, pretended to hesitate, and said helplessly:
"I didn't learn much in the next year, so I didn't join in the fun. Thank you for your hospitality. However, I still want to advise you one more sentence, this tomb is dangerous, if you encounter an unsolvable crisis, you must read it out loud: Have you forgotten the agreement with that person!"
Everyone was stunned.
He looked at Gongsun Xiu again and said, "Miss Lao is tired to send me back." ”
Gongsun Xiu couldn't hide his disappointment, and arranged for someone to prepare a boat for him and send him back to "Wang Ji Fish Fang".
Xu Qi'an got up and left the table, walked to the staircase, turned around, and said with a smile:
"It's going to rain soon, the autumn rain is continuous, visit the grave tonight, remember to bring rain gear, everyone, farewell. ”
He went down the stairs, and in the sound of his footsteps, a martial artist who practiced qi pouted and sneered: "The eldest lady has been eye-catching this time, and she has invited a timid person." ”
"It's just cowardice, and it's just a trick, what an agreement, what rain, it's all an excuse to save face. ”
All the warriors shook their heads one after another, with a mocking and mocking evaluation.
If you are afraid, you are afraid, but this person is not only timid, but for the sake of face, he actually says some tricky things to fool people.
Gongsun Xiu shook his head, raised his glass and said, "Drink." ”
She was also full of disappointment, and the conversation and temperament of that person were different from ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
Everyone left this episode behind and continued to talk and drink, but after a long time, they suddenly heard the sound of "popping" coming intensively, and the martial artists, including Gongsun Xiu, looked at the lake in amazement.
The surface of the lake blooms with dense ripples, the heavy rain falls, and the autumn is cool.
This........ Gongsun Xiu's eyes widened.
The hall was instantly silent.
..........
PS: Got some sleep.
