Volume II: Chapter 198: The Situation
The old man was in good spirits, looking at the juniors in front of him for many years, his lips trembled slightly.
"Uncle doesn't have to be like this, isn't Qi Ji coming back?" Qi Ji's chest was bleeding, but his eyes were shining, because he felt that the old man in front of him was running out of time.
After three words in a row, the old city lord leaned into Qi Ji's ear and whispered a few words.
An old man sat down suddenly, curled up in a wicker chair, and looked at the boundless East China Sea in the distance, and passed away.
Qi Ji stood in place, stunned.
After a long time, several hall masters climbed to the top of the city one after another, and the young man Wei Lan glanced at Qi Ji, who was full of dejection, and took the old man down to the city alone.
Chen Sheng, who returned to the bamboo building alone, swept everyone out of the house and looked at Tianjizi.
"What's wrong?" Tianjizi scratched his head and asked curiously.
Chen Sheng seemed to smile, "Isn't it that the seniors have something to say to me?"
Tianjizi suddenly sighed, looked at this extremely intelligent young man, and said helplessly: "Why are you so resistant?"
The question was why Chen Sheng would be so resistant to the gifts left by the ancestors of the human race, and he would hardly take the initiative to use them.
Chen Sheng just smiled indifferently: "That's what the seniors want to ask?"
Tianjizi nodded, this point was indeed his biggest doubt at the moment.
In his eyes, Chen Sheng's move at this moment is that there is obviously a quick way, which can be achieved almost overnight, but he prefers to choose the most difficult path.
Although Chen Sheng is walking extremely fast on this road now, it is always much slower.
Tianjizi seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "Don't you actually know how wide the road to heaven is in those few treasure halls?"
Chen Sheng shook his head, he naturally knew that it would be much easier to choose another path, but he was a little vigilant in his heart, from the depths of his soul, almost instinctive.
As for the reason, Chen Sheng only said a rough idea, and then closed his eyes slightly and concentrated on cultivation.
Tianjizi looked at the young man who didn't want to say a word, and his depression blocked his chest for a long time before he scolded his mother and floated out of the bamboo building.
As the price of possessing a sword in the sea, Tianjizi has already gained some freedom.
Lingyun looked at Tianjizi who slipped out of the ashes, and was just about to grin, but was slapped on the head with a slap.
Tianjizi's face was full of anger: "When will it be your turn to laugh at me?"
The young man with Zhenhai Ling on his waist was rarely deflated, lying on the ground, spitting out a few weeds with a black face, and squatting aside.
The black ghost standing on the tip of the bamboo opened its long beak wide and let out a crisp and piercing howl.
The old man raised his head and glanced at it coldly, "What's the matter, I don't see you today, you miscellaneous beast has stiff wings, dare to howl at the old man?"
The big black bird blinked and secretly buried its head in the bamboo leaves.
Obviously, this old guy touched the dust of Chen Shanzhu, and now he is angry.
The lying beast grinned quietly, secretly refreshed by the embarrassment of a few guys.
Tianjizi snorted, raised his hand and punched, and the fierce beast shaped like an ordinary black dog whimpered a few times, rolled its eyes and fainted.
Shopkeeper Qi pushed open the door of the bamboo garden, his face was full of palpitations, he looked at the guys sitting in a row in front of Chen Shengmen, he was stunned, and then scratched his head and asked, "What's the matter, there are demons and monsters in the room?"
Qi Liang was originally wandering around as before, but he saw a guy who was rumored to have been dead for many years.
Qi Ji, the master of the Battle Hall, had a blood hole in his chest, like a never-ending spring, and he couldn't stop bleeding out.
If it's just like this, Qi Liang will pretend to be deaf and dumb, it should be the guy who is crazy, pretending to be a ghost and scary.
As a result, Qi Ji, who was like a demon, stopped, stared at Qi Liang for a long time, frowned and shouted, "Your surname is Qi?"
Almost frightened, Qi Liang lifted the only remaining cultivation and ran back to the bamboo garden in one breath, only to breathe a sigh of relief.
Tianjizi, who had an illusory body, glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Why are you kid panicking, you really see the hell?"
Poor Qi Liang, as soon as he escaped, he looked at an old man with a gloomy expression, turning into a ghostly and vain form.
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Tianjizi drifted over, but saw the young shopkeeper with a dilated look and a slightly open mouth, obviously frightened.
In the end, it was Lingyun's conscience who found out and moved Qi Liang to his side, so Chen Sheng's door god had one more person.
Until the early morning of the next day, Chen Sheng finished his practice, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and pushed the door out.
The size of the body is uniform, and the head is turned in unison.
Chen Sheng smiled brightly, "You guys come to block my door early in the morning, it's not kind." ”
Tianjizi gave him a blank look and escaped into the sword.
The people on the burning sea caught a glimpse of the familiar figure from afar, and landed in front of Chen Sheng over the wall.
"Senior, this is?" Chen Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he had already guessed that someone in the city would come to invite him, but he didn't expect it to be the burning sea.
"What do you think this is?" the man on the burning sea grinned, and a small inky jade-colored sword appeared in his hand, the sword was carved with a golden dragon, and an unknown spar hung from the hilt.
Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Dragon Mansion Sabre?"
This is a really good thing, and it is enough to make the Dragon Mansion make an exception to open the door and accept a disciple's token.
Even Chen Sheng, who had always been hidden in a mystery, didn't know much about this mysterious force that had always been hidden in the mystery, and he had only met a few of them once, and he didn't have much intersection until he died.
"Congratulations senior. Chen Sheng said with a smile, the few people of the Dragon Mansion that he met in his previous life all had the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Realm at the very least, which shows the heritage of the Dragon Mansion, which will be of great benefit to the people of the Burning Sea in the future.
"Do you also think that the old man is entering the country for cultivation?" the burning sea man glared at him, greatly injured.
Chen Sheng smiled and asked, "Isn't it?"
Furious by the strange gaze, the Burning Sea Man put away his small sword and rolled up his sleeves, "Let's fight!"
Chen Sheng smiled dumbly, but he didn't dare to wrestle with this Jindan Sword Cultivator, who was about to break through the realm, so he had to raise his hand to beg for mercy.
Only then did the people on the burning sea give up, carefully looked left and right, and pulled Chen Sheng into the bamboo building.
"Do you know what happened last night?" The burning sea man had a solemn face, staring at Chen Sheng's expression.
Chen Sheng just shook his head blankly and asked, "Is there really an assassin?"
As soon as he blurted out the words, Chen Sheng saw the answer from the face of the burning seaman, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "Who is it?"
"Lin Kui and Tutang have both been recruited, and there is another thing you need to know. The Burning Sea Man sighed and told the story of the assassination and the death of the old city lord.
Chen Sheng listened quietly, and tapped his finger on the table, in fact, he had expected both of these things, and he had already warned the two of them.
As for the death of the old city lord, it is even more inevitable, otherwise he will never give the Zhenlong Order to Lingyun in advance, and it is the result of Wei Lan's hard work to support him until everyone returns.
If you want to kill a primordial infant in the same realm, how can you do it without paying the same price without being unreasonable?
After pondering for a long time, Chen Sheng asked a seemingly completely unrelated question: "How is Qi Ji?"
The performance of the two people in the Battle Hall in the Underwater Water Mansion made Chen Sheng have a very bad impression of the Lord of the Battle Hall.
The people on the burning sea shook their heads, "The injuries are extremely serious, and after the death of Qin Qian and Xue Lie, the battle hall is now leaderless, and the situation is very chaotic." ”
Chen Sheng smiled casually, he didn't really care about these things, the reason why he asked was because he was worried that Qi Ji would use thunderous means to close the battle hall, but he was afraid that it would cause a lot of obstacles to Lingyun's entry into the sea.
"You kid, it's really not uncommon for Haicheng?" the burning sea man sighed, a little helpless.
Chen Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said straight to the point: "Why don't you talk to my predecessors, how much hope is there for Lingyun entering the sea?"
In this time of change, the smallest thing can be fussed about.
Especially now that Chen Sheng has emerged, some eyes that would not have come to him have increased.
The Burning Sea Man pondered for a moment and said, "Until the situation is completely stabilized, it will be difficult. ”
After a pause, he added, "After the situation is stabilized, it depends on who is sitting in that position." ”
Chen Sheng took a deep breath, it seems that he has to make a plan for this matter a long time ago.
Because in the end, whoever stands out will not feel good about him.
In the bamboo garden across the door, the shopkeeper received a letter with the red stamp of the city lord.
Qi Liang frowned, stared at the messenger in front of him, and asked boldly, "Are you sure you didn't send the wrong person?"
Wei Lan smiled and asked rhetorically, "Your name is Qi Liang, right?"
Shopkeeper Qi nodded.
"Someone smashed the golden pill, this bamboo garden is yours, right?" Wei Lan asked again.
Shopkeeper Qi nodded again, and then saw the extremely young terrifying senior, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Senior, why did the old city lord write to me?"
Wei Lan laughed, the old city lord who has been a hero all his life, there would be such a junior, he stretched out his hand and patted Qi Liang's shoulder, Wei Lan smiled: "Look for yourself, maybe you may have left a few immortal soldiers for you." ”
Qi Liang felt the gentle force on his shoulders, and watched the young senior's figure slowly dissipate, breathtaking.
Damn, before going out, my mother said that there was a family ancestor with a very high status in Haicheng, but it was true?
When Jin Dan was just broken, Qi Liang didn't have no hope, and after spending most of his wealth to find it to no avail, he bought this bamboo garden and waited for death with peace of mind.
Qi Liang, who was already dead, held a thin letter, and his arm trembled slightly, like holding a thousand pounds.
Lost and walked back to his bamboo house, Qi Liang put down the letter, and didn't have the courage to open it for a long time.
Lingyun and the black ghost were lying outside the window, staring at the young man with a complicated expression inside.
"Gah... Ga ......"
The pitch-black black ghost screamed a few times, waking Qi Liang up from his trance.
Lingyun sighed, grabbed this guy's wings, threw them out of the wall, smiled at the shopkeeper Qi, and smeared oil on the soles of his feet.
In the days since Chen Sheng left, he got along fairly well with this young frustrated shopkeeper.
For this little episode, Qi Liang didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and then opened the letter with trembling hands.
Lines of fine small characters appeared in front of him, and Qi Liang completely believed in his relationship with the old city lord.
"Qi Liang, I didn't expect it, right? The dilapidated family he was born in actually has such a big backer in Haicheng. ”
In a few simple words, the image of an old urchin jumped on the page.
