Volume 2 Chapter 227 Lingyun's whereabouts
"Something?" Chen Sheng lowered his head and looked at the shopkeeper with a mysterious smile in front of him.
"The little one grew up on the island since he was a child, and he has been in the restaurant for more than ten years, if the guest officer wants to know anything, you might as well ask me. Xiao Er bent over slightly, his face full of flattery.
In fact, he deliberately didn't say anything yesterday, just hinting, but it's a pity that the man in front of him who has a generous hand pretends to be deaf and dumb, which makes Xiao Er, who relies on this to get oil and water, quite resentful.
Looking at Chen Sheng's face now, it doesn't seem like he doesn't understand these things.
However, no one will get along with money, since Chen Sheng does not take the initiative, he has to find out.
"You mean, you want me to buy your news with money?" Chen Sheng's brows furrowed, "No need, I'll go find a shop by myself." ”
Hearing this name, Xiao Er was stunned and said: "Xiao Yi has lived on the island for more than 20 years, and he thinks he is extremely familiar with every place, why have I never heard of such a shop, it is newly opened?"
Chen Sheng suddenly remembered that he was already in the depths of the East China Sea, and even if there was a trading house with great powers, it would not set up a store in such a place.
With a smile, Chen Sheng said to Xiao Er: "If you want money, you can do it, as long as your news is useful to me." ”
Xiao Er's eyes narrowed into a line, and he said: "Don't worry, Childe, but whatever happened on this island, there is nothing I don't know." ”
"So powerful?" Chen Sheng was stunned, and immediately asked, "Then do you know which dragon clans have appeared near Qiling Island in recent years. ”
The dragon last night, judging by the degree of blood loss, should have been brought to Qiling Island within half a month.
Hearing this, Xiao Er lowered his head, his eyes flickered a little, as if he didn't expect this guest to be such a tricky question as soon as he opened his mouth.
Seeing him look like this, Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he had really found the right person.
He took out a spirit stone of extremely high purity, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "As long as you answer truthfully, this spirit stone will be yours." ”
Although mortals can't absorb and absorb spiritual energy, the use of spirit stones is better than that of cultivators to some extent, and in terms of value alone, it is no longer a problem for this spirit stone to buy half of the restaurant.
Xiao Er raised his head and asked cautiously, "Childe, can you promise me one more condition?"
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Could it be that I'm worried about leaking secrets?"
Xiao Er smiled bitterly, I have seen a lot of people of all kinds, if I didn't have this caution, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live now.
"Don't worry, how can the news bought with money be sent out in vain. Chen Sheng half-jokingly, but secretly added in his heart: "Naturally, you have to sell it at a better price." ”
"Then I'm relieved. Xiao Er wiped his sweat and began to whisper: "Three months ago, several dragon clan seniors landed on the island and stayed in the small shop for seven days, and then went to the inner island with a certain big sect, which is the depths of the island that Gongzi said. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Er raised his head.
"Could it be that you want me to swear a poisonous oath before you are willing to sell me this news?" Chen Sheng sneered, this little second was a little too cautious.
Xiao Er cried with a sad face, "That's not necessary, I just hope that after listening to it, the son will never say that I told you." ”
Chen Sheng waved his hand casually and motioned for him to continue.
After calming down, Xiao Er continued: "Actually, speaking of which, it's not unusual for those people to enter the inner island, but when they came back, several of them were injured. ”
"Who are the injured people, do you have any impression?" Chen Sheng asked urgently, there was a feeling in the dark that this time he might really have encountered a big secret.
"Three of them are cultivators, and there is also a dragon clan senior, whose face is gloomy and terrifying, so I remember it very clearly. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he seemed to remember something strange, and said in a low voice: "A month ago, twenty miles east of the island, a Terran merchant ship sank. ”
Chen Sheng was silent, the merchant ships were blessed by the Dragon Palace at sea, who would dare to sink them?
As for the ship's sinking due to problems on its own, this possibility is extremely small, and among the people accompanying the merchant ship, there will be a highly accomplished formation master, even if there is a real problem, it is enough to deal with it.
Although the Nangong family ship he was on before was not a businessman, he was still accompanied by two white-haired old array masters to maintain the stability of the hull array.
"Can you draw those people?" Chen Sheng took out a pen and paper and handed it to Xiao Er, only to see that his face was full of confusion.
Shaking his head with a smile, Chen Sheng said: "You can describe it, and you can describe the main characteristics." ”
Fortunately, after cultivating in the later years of his previous life, this Zangyue Mountain Immortal Venerable has a very wide range of knowledge in order to seek the method of breaking through the realm, and he also has some experience in the technique of Danqing.
After squeezing the information out of Xiao Er's mind, Chen Sheng got a few portraits and the news that Ling Yun had indeed been here.
However, this news does not seem to be worth rejoicing.
It was about seven days ago, that is, not long after Lingyun entered the sea, but he had already reached the depths of the East China Sea, and Xiao Er said that he had obvious external injuries on his body when he went to the island, and his face was not good-looking.
Because this guest is very young, but he is unusually generous, he was written down by Xiao Er.
"I didn't expect that I still couldn't avoid this Nangong Qing. Chen Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, the first place where Lingyun's kid went to the island was the destination of the Nangong family and his party, the Shen family on Que Island.
Only then did Chen Sheng remember that the sleeping Brother Zhu seemed to be from Que Island.
The wine brewed by cultivators is intoxicating, but it does not make people uncomfortable, but it can really relieve pain and sorrow, which is very beneficial to the body, and it didn't take long for Zhu Yu to wake up.
"Brother Chen Xuan, I'm ...... Drunk again?" Zhu scratched his head, finding that he didn't feel that dizzy.
Chen Sheng took the wine jug and said with a smile: "I can only get drunk once." ”
Zhu opened his mouth wide and saw a drop of crystal falling from the mouth of the pot.
It wasn't until the last drop of immortal brew entered his throat that Zhu Yu licked his lips and said, "After drinking Brother Chen Xuan's pot of wine today, the younger brother can't invite it back." ”
"It's okay, I just heard that the scenery of Que Island is extremely beautiful, why don't you, the landlord, take me on a tour?" Chen Sheng said in accordance with his tone.
Zhu Yu was stunned, and said in his heart that there was no scenery in such a big place, but he still got in the way of the face of the pot of wine, and nodded: "This is simple, there are a lot of merchant ships coming and going from the Qiling Islands, if Brother Chen Xuan doesn't mind, you and I will set off." ”
"Then let's go. Chen Sheng got up with a smile and asked Xiao Er to take some wine and snacks with him.
"It's good to be rich!" Zhu Yu was speechless, not to mention the pot of immortal brew from the distant land, just the dishes and dim sum that Chen Sheng bought and took away, which was not something he could hope for.
Chen Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to pretend to be in pain, and said: "Since Brother Zhu doesn't want to eat, then forget it, it just so happens that I also saved a fortune, this is all my wife's book." ”
Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up, the original depression was swept away, and he said with a smile: "Brother Chen Xuan is joking again, like you, who is so wealthy, afraid that he will not have a daughter-in-law?"
"Two sons, then this wine and snacks ......" Xiao Er held the food box, a little dilemma.
Zhu Yu took it, "Naturally, you want it, don't you look down on me Brother Chen Xuan?"
Xiao Er glanced at him, looked at Chen Sheng, and stopped talking.
Chen Sheng smiled and handed out a bag of silver coins, he didn't plan to reveal his identity in front of Zhu Yu.
Xiao Er took it and checked it, a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he had seen the mountains of gold and silver, and naturally he was a little disdainful of this little money.
The two of them walked all the way out of the restaurant and came to a very small ferry.
"Brother Zhu, why did you bring me here?" Chen Sheng was puzzled, he had obviously passed by several large docks just now, and there were many and gorgeous boats.
"You'll understand in a moment. Zhu Dipping the cat squatted at the water's edge, his fingers stretched into the sea water to play, and he was in a particularly good mood.
Chen Sheng smiled freely, and simply went with him.
It didn't take long for a small wooden boat to appear on the sea, supported by a white-haired but energetic old man, to Chen Sheng's surprise, the woman wearing a hat was made in the boat, and the thin veil hanging down to her waist.
"Who is this?" It was still far away, Chen Sheng asked with a smile, if the two people on this boat had nothing to do with Zhu Zhen, he would not believe it.
Zhu Yu got up abruptly and made enough strength to look into the distance, but unfortunately he was only a mortal after all, his eyesight was limited, and he could only see a black dot, slowly approaching.
Chen Sheng described the situation on the ship, Zhu Zhan's face unconsciously showed joy, and he said proudly: "It's clumsy." ”
"Brother Zhu informed Madame in advance?" Chen Sheng was puzzled, although the two islands were not far apart, they also faced each other on the sea for more than ten miles, and he and Zhu Yu had a temporary idea, and it was impossible for anyone to know.
Zhu Yu lowered his head slightly, with a sweet smile on his face.
Shaking his head, Chen Sheng retracted his gaze a little, now that he knew the identity of the person who came, there was no need to see it more realistically.
It wasn't long before the boat floated up.
The woman on the boat habitually glanced at it, but when she saw the figure of her heart on the shore, tears burst out of her eyes.
Looking at the husband and wife hugging each other, Chen Sheng's face was full of black lines.
"This son, you don't seem to be mortal. The old man who was holding the boat spread the word from his heart to Chen Sheng, who turned out to be a foundation building monk.
Chen Sheng was quite surprised that he could see through his disguise, and said with a smile: "I am good friends with Brother Zhu, and my predecessors don't have to be so guarded. ”
At this moment, a big fish in the sea jumped up and made a big splash.
"It's really blind!" Zhu Zhi, who was half wet, muttered quietly, and hurriedly inspected his wife, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that this fish still has spirituality, just pour me." ”
The woman covered her mouth and giggled, only then did she find Chen Sheng, and her beautiful eyes looked at the old man holding the boat with an inquiring gaze. Nature
The old man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
In fact, where is the big fish with spirituality, it is clear that the person next to him is doing this, and he can hide himself from doing this, I am afraid that he must at least need the Jindan realm.
Zhu Yu didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and pulled Chen Sheng onto the boat with a smile, and the three of them sat at a table full of various dishes and dim sum.
"What else?" the woman's voice was warm and soft, but it made Zhu Yu feel like a lightning strike.
"Madame is really clever, how do you know that you have prepared your favorite Qingtuanzi for your husband. Zhu Yu took out a plate of dim sum and placed it in front of his wife like a treasure.
Chen Sheng's eyelids trembled, this was one of the few things that Zhu Dip paid for before leaving the restaurant.
"Husband may have forgotten that you promised me not to touch wine again. The woman remained unmoved, stretched out her boneless hand, and took out jugs of fine wine from under the box.
Zhu Yu was instantly like a mourner, and said weakly and flatteringly: "Madame's eyes are really like a torch, and my husband admires it." ”
"If Brother Zhu goes down again, I'm afraid this ship won't be able to stay. Chen Sheng opened his mouth and laughed, stuffed a piece of dim sum into Zhu Dip's mouth, and hugged his fist at the woman and said, "Chen Xuan, a person from Middle Earth. ”
The old man at the bow of the boat paused, turned his head and asked, "Childe trusts me like this, and is not afraid of shaking your identity out?"
Chen Sheng naturally understood the old man's hostility towards him, and said with a straight face: "I had a good conversation with Brother Zhu, and I should treat his family with sincerity. ”
Zhu Dipping the case and got up, "Well said, just rush this point, I should drink a big glass with Brother Chen Xuan." ”
He didn't just talk about it, but really reached for the flask, but patted his wife lightly, and then shrank back stupidly, and his pride and ambition were swept away.
The woman looked at Chen Sheng, poured herself a small glass of wine, and said, "Husband's body is not suitable for drinking, so I will touch Brother Chen Xuan to drink this cup." ”
"Big brother?" Chen Sheng sighed in his heart, but judging from his current appearance, he was indeed many years older than Zhu Zhen and his wife.
In the ensuing conversation, Chen Sheng learned that this woman's name was Fang Xi, her ancestors were once extremely noble, from the Fang family of the East China Sea clan, and had a deep relationship with one of the Dragon Palaces, but unfortunately now the family is in the middle of the road.
Seeing his wife's sad expression, Zhu Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Chen Xuan is a guest, what do you do with him about these sad things." ”
Chen Sheng smiled and agreed, but silently wrote down in his heart that there is an old servant who builds the foundation on this island to protect him, and it can be regarded as a not weak family background.
It's just that Fang Xi and the old man seem to be deliberately concealing, and even let Zhu Dip go out of the island to find immortals.
Often, however, the ship docked.
Chen Sheng, under the kind invitation of Zhu Zhen, was forcibly dragged to Zhu's mansion.
"Brother Zhu turned out to be a big landowner. Chen Sheng teased with a smile, although the mansion in front of him is not too luxurious, it occupies a lot of land, and it is especially precious on this island.
Zhu Yu was smug, "That's ......"
However, thinking of Chen Sheng's extravagant spending, the landlord couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart, and the smile on his face dissipated.
Chen Sheng was stunned, and said angrily: "You have such a big business, can you compare with me as an old bachelor?"
The old man glanced back at him, his brow furrowed slightly.
Zhu Yu regained his smile, became radiant again, led Chen Sheng into the hospital, and said arrogantly: "Brother Chen Xuan chooses one by himself." ”
"Then you're welcome. Chen Sheng strode forward, until he walked to the corner and stopped, and said, "I'm sleeping quietly, so let's be here." ”
"Uncle Hei, you have a new neighbor. Zhu Yu smiled evilly, the old man's house happened to be there, adjacent to Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng smiled lightly, he was not surprised by this, as long as it was a cultivator who wanted to hide his whereabouts, he would choose it this way.
looked at the old man and found that he was also looking at this side, and said indifferently: "The night on the island is heavy, I will go to prepare more mattresses for Chen Gongzi." ”
Chen Sheng thanked him, and there were still a lot of dishes and pastries left, and after the four of them ate, Zhu Yu was pushed out of the door by Fang Yu and strictly ordered him to travel with Chen Sheng.
"There's nothing fun on the island during the day, and it's only at night that many fishermen come out to pay their respects to the reef. Zhu Yu casually introduced, he had been on Que Island for many years, and he had seen a lot, and he seemed a little lacking in interest.
Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Brother Zhu is not very angry, if you really miss your brother and sister and brought me to the place, you can go back first." ”
Zhu Yu turned his head and hesitated: "Brother Chen Xuan won't think I'm heavy on sex and light on friends, right?"
Chen Sheng glanced at him, and said helplessly: "If you follow me all the time, I will think that you have attracted the attention of the girls, do you really want me to beat a generation of singles?"
Zhu Yu did not hesitate, and said righteously: "How can I be such a person who has no eyesight, this street has been at the end, and I saw a large archway burning with fire, and I will continue to walk dozens of steps." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Sheng's reaction to smear oil on the soles of his feet and run extremely fast.
Chen Sheng smiled dumbly, but this was exactly what he wanted, with Zhu Yu by his side, some things were not easy to do directly.
The streets at night are really as Zhu Yu said, much more lively than in the daytime, Chen Sheng followed the flow of people for a long time, and finally in a street and alley, he changed his new face and went to Shen's house.
"Old man, which one do you say you are looking for?" the porter of the Shen family was a little unable to understand Chen Sheng's heels, and said cautiously.
"The old man is here to treat Nangong Qing, how many times do you want me to say it?" Chen Sheng's tone was not good, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and a coercion spread invisibly.
It's just an ordinary mortal porter who has experienced such a scene, and immediately there were some signs of relaxation, and a crisp voice like a silver bell suddenly came from inside the door, Nangong Qing poked his head out and said unhappily: "Grandpa, who do you say is sick?"
"You, you're not only sick, but you're not sick. In the face of this reunited little girl, Chen Sheng can be described as kind and kind, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, someone asked me to treat you." ”
"Someone?" Nangong Qing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked tentatively, "Is it an uncle with a dark face and a little scary-looking." ”
Chen Sheng's face fell, and anyone who was evaluated like this in person would not have a good face, "You little girl, you really have no conscience, the boy surnamed Chen deliberately came to beg the old man for you, and now it seems that it is a little worthless." ”
"Hey...... Since Uncle Chen asked you to come, come in with me. The little girl made a big move, pretending to be stupid, but she didn't say that sentence.
Chen Sheng's face was full of helplessness, and under the strange gaze of the porter, he dragged Nangong Qing in.
"I knew that you had something to do with the Shen family, so you shouldn't have accepted that kid's silver taels, but now it seems that the transaction is a loss. Chen Sheng shook his head and sighed, as if he was really extremely remorseful.
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle Chen, I didn't expect your disguise skills to be so high, and you almost deceived me." ”
Chen Sheng was stunned, and was about to deny it, when he found that Nangong Qing's eyes were clear, not mixed with any other emotions, and he couldn't help but scratch his head, "I think I've tried my best to disguise my demeanor and tone, how did you recognize it?"
"It's the smell, Uncle Chen has a special smell on his body, Qing'er remembers it very clearly. Nangong Qing raised her head, as if waiting for Chen Sheng's praise.
Chen Sheng was stunned, then showed a hideous smile, lowered his head and said, "I warn you not to say it, otherwise you will ......"
He made a motion to wipe his neck, Nangong Qing's face turned pale, and there was sadness in his eyes, as if he remembered some bad memories.
"Okay, it's Uncle Chen's mistake, okay. Chen Sheng sighed and reached out to rub the little girl's head.
"Qing'er, I heard that you invited Lang Zhong back, my mother told you a long time ago, don't trust people outside, you will inevitably run into ......" There was a hurried footstep, and the beautiful woman came from the courtyard, saying some reprimanding words in her mouth.
Chen Sheng raised his head and said unhappily: "Madame, are you saying that the old man is a liar?"
In the face of others, he is still an old man with a bit of immortal demeanor, and his wife choked on a sentence, but it was not good to say something directly, so he had to restrain his daughter with his eyes, and wanted Nangong Qing to relieve him from the siege.
It's a pity that Nangong Qing was busy wiping her tears and didn't notice her mother's gaze at all.
Chen Sheng stepped forward and asked in a condensed voice: "The old man has a question, why didn't the little girl treat the disease brought out of her mother's womb earlier?"
This statement is half-true and half-false, mostly a temptation.
It is true that Nangong Qing has something strange on her body, but it is not as simple as a disease, it is more like a natural physique, and she has been extremely gorgeous and dazzling on the way to practice.
"Fortunately, the old decay came in time, otherwise your daughter, I'm afraid she won't live long. Chen Sheng shouted coldly, and a wave of power rushed towards the beautiful woman, making her heart shudder.
"Dare to be so arrogant in the Shen family, Your Excellency is the first. The person who came was a fierce young man, not a few years older than Chen Sheng himself, but there was almost a killing intent on his face, he stared at Chen Sheng, and said with a cruel smile: "Say, how do you want to die?"
Nangong Qing's mother and daughter couldn't help but tremble after the young man appeared, obviously very afraid of the young man.
"Don't be afraid. Comforting Nangong Qing softly, Chen Sheng paced lightly, approached in a bloody and murderous aura, and said coldly: "No wonder, your fierce cultivation method requires a woman with a soft physique to neutralize one or two, otherwise you won't live long." ”
The red light in the young man's eyes retracted slightly, and he hugged his fist at Chen Sheng and said: "It seems that Shen has no beads, and the seniors can see this at a glance, I don't know what realm of cultivation master he is." ”
With the cultivation method of this side door, he had only just reached the realm of foundation building, and he couldn't see through the depth of the old man in front of him, and he was stopped by Chen Sheng's words, and he didn't dare to act rashly before he found out the situation.
Chen Sheng glanced at him and said, "Your life is not good, the old man is not a real person in the Jindan Realm, and he can't extend his life for you." ”
"Then there is no way, I have to find another way, even if it hurts the heavens and harms the reason, as long as I can survive. The young man Shen sin sneered, as his name suggests, ruthless, and at this moment, the eyes looking at Nangong Qing's mother and daughter were full of aggression.
Chen Sheng frowned, stepped in front of Nangong Qing, and said slightly angrily: "Attacking a seven or eight-year-old child, the Shen family's methods are really impressive to the old man." ”
Shen Sin grinned, bared his teeth, and pointed at the beautiful woman: "It's okay, the slightly weaker physique can last a few years, I have time to wait for her to grow up." ”
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Qing couldn't help but turn her head to look at her mother, this is the father who loves her in her mouth?
He gave his wife and daughter to an outsider, just in exchange for benefits.
