Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wonders of the Four Seas

When I returned to the bamboo forest, the sky was already a little gray, and it was estimated that it would be dawn in another hour

The big gentleman released a few people from the shadows, walked out of the bamboo forest, and rounded up with Yumeko. Yumeko quickly checked Miko's breath and pulse, confirming that the signs of poisoning had largely disappeared.

Mr. Big urged, "Get out of here." Follow me. After speaking, he walked briskly to the other end of the bamboo forest. A few people didn't care about anything else and followed him closely.

Unexpectedly, this big gentleman was not weak in light skills, and soon went around to the other side of the bamboo forest, and then turned around and didn't know where he went, and walked for about half an hour, and actually came to a river. A few people identified the surroundings, and lived in Huainan for more than half a year, but they didn't know what this place was.

The river was dark and foggy, and it was impossible to see anything. Mr. Big whistled, and there was a whistle not far away, and then there was a little dim light, and Mr. Big led everyone towards the light. When I looked closer, I realized that there was a large ship moored here. There was a dark shadow holding a lantern in the strings of the ship. Seeing Mr. Big, the boat slid down a sampan, and Mr. Big took everyone on the boat. There were two people standing on the boat, also dressed in black cloaks, from hood to toe, standing upright, even if they saw Mr. Big, they would not talk or salute.

As soon as a few people stepped onto the deck, before they could stand firmly, the hull of the ship began to move, as if it was about to set sail. Uncle asked alarmedly, "Where are you going to take us?" and Mr. Big said, "Safe place." ”

Mr. Big led a few people down from a very spacious cabin, and Lhotse and Uncle Luo put their respective people down. Yumeko pointed to the woman and asked, "Who is this?" Neither of them answered, because they really didn't know how to answer. Yumeko's eyes were sharp, and she pointed to the unwiped blood on Lhotse's fingers in surprise. Lhotse looked down at his hands with an expression of extreme disgust.

At this time, Mr. Big spoke: "I will dock at the nearest place in the Miao room." ”

"And where are you going?" asked the uncle.

"Of course, it's back to the palace. Mr. Big said lightly.

"Won't you go back? ”

"What did you do to arrest me? I didn't do anything. You dug up the beads, and you took away the people. ”

"You!" the uncle was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, by the time I go back, the fire in the county lord's house should have already burned. ”

"You actually want to burn the palace, just to get a bead?" the uncle was already extremely disgusted with this man, and almost said that he was as inferior as a beast.

"Then where are you going to hide, county lord?" Luo Zi was very calm at this time, he didn't want his uncle to say anything angry to anger the other party, he really wanted to know the ins and outs of the matter.

"The boat will take her to a suitable place. There, she will live like a human being. In the palace, she will always be just a living dead. ”

"You don't want to sell it anymore. What the hell is going on? We don't like to be taken advantage of. Even Yumeko began to get impatient to listen.

"I said, not exploitation. To each his own, he takes what he needs. ”

"You walk freely in the palace every day, and you take the pearls of the four seas like a bag to get things, why do you pretend to borrow our hands?" the uncle asked.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. After all, we are in the same boat. ”

"Who is in the same boat as you?" Yumeko retorted disdainfully.

"Him. As he spoke, Mr. Big pointed to Lhotse. Luozi's face heated up suddenly, and he heard that Mr. Big had something to say, referring to the so-called connection between him and Xiahou Ti.

"I didn't know that there was a treasure in the world. Once, the hand of the king of Huainan was mistakenly stained with corpse poison. He relied on the four seas to solve it. However, because the poisoning was very shallow, he did not cut the beads. When I asked what kind of treasure it was, he only said that it was called Sihaizhu, and the rest was secretive. After many investigations, I finally found this record of the Four Seas Pearl in an ancient history. Legend has it that this thing is owned by the sea immortal country, when the Qin Emperor went to sea to visit the immortals, he accidentally ate poisonous weeds, and some immortals gave this jewel to help him detoxify. This orb was originally always with him, but before the last trip, he was left with a favorite concubine in Afang Palace for some reason, and it was precisely at this time that he died on the way. Later, Xiang Yu set fire to Afang Palace. I don't know where this pearl of the four seas has fallen. As for how the King of Huainan got it, I guess most of it was dug up from the tomb of someone I don't know. "It was the first time I heard Mr. Big say so much, and his hoarse voice seemed to be telling a story.

"Then what's the matter with this little county lord?" Yumeko is still very sensitive to women of unknown origin.

"King Huainan gave birth to many sons, but there was only one daughter. I heard the old man in the house say that this girl also had a thin life, and her mother died just after giving birth. At the age of nineteen, he suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma. I think the king of Huainan must have known that there was no hope of saving his daughter, so he simply put the pearl of the four seas in his body, hoping to prolong his life. Unexpectedly, these four sea pearls really competed for power, and they continued her life for more than ten years. ”

"Why did you let Lhotse fetch it? Can't you do it yourself?" the uncle said again, arousing Lhotse's disgust.

"I can take it and I can wait for you to come. I've also tried quietly, but it didn't work. This pearl is extremely spiritual, and if ordinary people touch it, it will run away. According to my observation, Luochuan Gongzi's physique is different from ordinary people, and his blood quality is excellent, so I made another bet with myself, and it seems that I have made the right bet again. Prince Luochuan is really the best candidate for the pearl. ”

"How do you know that he has excellent blood?" all three asked in unison, after all, Lhotse's blood has a miraculous effect, which is a secret and cannot be leaked.

"Who's blood, I'll know when I smell it. Good blood is naturally sweet. There was a greed in Mr. Big's words, and one listener could imagine that he might be licking his tongue behind the veil. "You also have to thank me for not being able to take the beads, otherwise it would not be your turn to save people. ”

"And what's that shady thing about you? And this, split in two. The uncle compared the doppelganger technique, and took the opportunity to ask all the questions in his heart now.

"Shady, that's just a kind of mountain-moving illusion. It is said to have been created by the Yin and Yang family during the Warring States Period, and many walking corpse warlocks will. I learned from them, too, so it's no surprise. As for the division into two, it's just a trick to transfer flowers and trees. I'm just a combination of the two, and to outsiders it's just me walking around. However, his ability is limited, and he can only bring two people at a time, so he is annoyed to carry two people on his back.

"And this kind of thaumaturgy, when will you teach me? As soon as he heard that he could move mountains, he immediately became interested. was glared back by Yumeko and Uncle Zi.

"But even if you set fire to the county lord's room, won't the king of Huainan pursue it?" Luo Zi pulled the topic back and asked.

"Absolutely. He's sure I'll be able to follow it up, though. ”

"Why does he trust you so much?"

"That's a lot of questions. The boat docked, disembarked. ”

When they got off the boat, the sky was already white, and the four of them carried Miko on their backs and walked off the deck. Recognize this as a place not far from the room. When he turned back, the ship had already sailed several feet from the shore and was slowly sinking. The hull of the ship has been submerged in the water for a small half, and the bow of the ship reveals most of the crimson word "Styx".

"Nether ship?!" Luozi and his uncle were shocked, could it be that the Netherworld ship in charge of the Kasa Cha was it!
