Chapter 370: A Stormy Night
At this time, the sea was very stormy, and the pouring rain was swaying arbitrarily, slapping on the deck of this merchant ship, which was not small, and Jiang Yunqi, who was resting and resting in the cabin, suddenly felt a palpitation for no reason.
It was "danger foresight," and there was a danger of life! Jiang Yunqi quickly realized in his heart, he originally thought that this was just a storm that was common at sea, and he could avoid the disaster as long as the ship entered the port for repairs, but now it seems that the matter is even more serious than he imagined.
The ship was very bumpy, and the sea was all around, and although the shouts of the sailors on the deck indicated that they were trying to bring the ship to shore, this sense of crisis still lingered for a long time.
Jiang Yunqi stood up, barely maintained his figure, and stumbled towards the upper deck of the cabin, at this time, there was no one to take care of the passengers in the cabin, most of them had already woken up, some ordinary people were still praying silently in a low voice, and a small number of monks were carefully feeling the state of the hull, ready to respond in time, those who often ran on the sea, but their expressions were indifferent, in their opinion, this kind of thing that met the storm was common.
Over here!
Jiang Yunqi found that somewhere in the aisle, the warning of "danger prediction" would dissipate a lot, but this place seemed to be nothing special except for the private room close to the locked copper door, even if it was close to the private room, it was not the closest one. However, he didn't dig deeper, so he pretended to be unsteady on his feet, crouched there, and quietly waited for the opportunity.
Click!
He heard a thunderclap that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and at the same time, the whole ship seemed to be pushed up by something, and was abruptly thrown out of the water, flying higher, just when Jiang Yunqi was surprised, the bronze door of the elegant room was suddenly opened, and four monks flew out, one of them was the person Jiang Yunqi had seen before, only to hear him shout:
"It's a Nightmare Sea Demon Beast, work together to fight the enemy!"
The spiritual power in the hands of the four people flew over, bounced the wooden planks that covered the cabin, and the cold wind and torrential rain spilled in, making Jiang Chengzi, who was hiding behind, shudder, but seeing those few people flying out, all kinds of magic weapons and talismans flew over, three of them could fly, and the other one, with the sailors on the deck, quickly collected the sails, but he seemed to be in vain, the "Rainbow" has been inexplicably powered, lifted to the highest point, began to descend rapidly, all the sails that were not collected were scattered due to the wind pressure and flew away, and there was no trace of it.
At this time, the night was so dark, the rain was so cold, Jiang Yunqi felt a sudden danger, and dodged sideways, and in an instant, a mortal screamed and flew past him, he wanted to catch the other party, but the person was extremely fast, and before Jiang Yunqi could react, he was already out of control. And even if he barely catches him, it will affect Jiang Yunqi.
Syllable!
I heard a loud sound of the hull hitting the water, followed by the sound of tearing and squeezing of the wooden planks close to my ears, an obvious wide crack, not far from Jiang Yunqi's feet, began to spread to both sides, the gap came fast enough, unstoppable, Jiang Yunqi's close wall also began to collapse and roll in, the copper door of the private room, because of the huge twisting force, brittle as tissue paper, was squeezed out of the wall and fell aside.
Not good, this ship is wrecked, it will be sunk!
Jiang Yunqi jumped out, his heart trembled again, and he hurriedly struggled to turn back, but saw a thick tentacle with countless suction cups piercing out of the broken cabin, and countless sharp sawdust flew over, Jiang Yunqi stood unsteadily, pondered a direction again, and jumped out of the past, this time, there was no weird blow, but seeing that the whole black tentacles, there was not only one, he caught a glimpse of several ordinary people, who had been grabbed by the tentacles of all sizes and dragged into the depths of the sea that did not know the depth.
This is the Nightmare Sea Monster?
How does it seem that he is good at strength, Jiang Yunqi immediately had some more thoughts in his heart, but then he felt a strong dizziness, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind were flying, drowsy, not good, Jiang Yunqi realized the meaning of the word "nightmare", and quickly gave himself a Qingming charm, and looked for a place to stay, but saw that the debris around was flying, and all kinds of debris that didn't know where it came from, along with himself, were escaping around.
You must go to the shore as soon as possible, since it is a sea monster, as long as you escape from here and escape to land, you will be safe, but Jiang Yunqi can't fly, so he can only grab a wooden plank that barely shelters, and plunge into the icy sea water, which is obscure and gloomy outside, but fortunately, with the help of good water properties, he quickly identified the direction, and swam towards the shore without looking back.
He suddenly noticed a trumpet-shaped thing, which was falling towards the bottom of the sea beside him, and his inspiration moved slightly, he felt that this seemed to be a mysterious magic weapon in the previous private room, so he grabbed it, put it into the storage bag, and at the same time, against the cold and biting water, swam in the direction of the suspected shore.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yunqi grabbed a reef that seemed to be on the beach, he poked his head out, and found that there was no danger, so he jumped out
to discern the location and direction in the darkness.
This is not really a shore, but a rocky desert island not far from shore. Since he knew that it was not far away, Jiang Yunqi was not in a hurry, found a corner to shelter from the wind and rain, played a cleaning charm, and disappeared in the dark. He planned to wait for all this turmoil to dissipate at dawn, and then cruise to the shore to find out the location, and then return to the sect. The Pulan Harbor of Tianluomen is not the place he wants to go, and it may be a good choice to get off the boat halfway, but I don't know where it is, from the itinerary, it is probably also the territory of Tianluomen, although I heard that Tianluomen is a human race, and he has some malice towards demon cultivation, but as long as it is not Qingyu Sect, he does not need to worry about safety at the first time, thinking about this, he has settled down a lot.
In the dark night, he saw that the "Rainbow" in the distance had sunk, and with the roar of a suspected sea beast, it was once again hidden in the endless smoke and rain.
............
Qingyu Sect, on the outskirts of Xiushui City, the wind blows in the tea plantation, and the night rain is shrouding everything here.
Wu Xuan didn't bring any servants, he stood alone in the wind and rain, he didn't even hit the bamboo umbrella, and he didn't open the spiritual shield to shield him from the wind and rain, although this was an extremely ordinary thing for him.
This tea garden built along the mountain, with a size of nearly 300 acres, is also the largest industry he has accumulated since he served as the lord of Xiushui City, which is not expensive, because this was originally a useless barren mountain, and the one in front of him was the first tea tree he planted with his own hands.
The spiritual power moved slightly, turning the muddy soil again, covering the roots of this tea tree, he had already buried the inexplicable gray and black planks here, because he had to leave Xiushui City and accept the new mission given to him by the sect - as a foreign affairs deacon, go to the Asagayama Zongluo River, and plan to communicate about the construction of the other courtyard.
This is not a good errand, the Asa Mountain Sect is poor and has no spiritual land, and there is no way to cultivate there at all. This is also the reason why he didn't have a gift, otherwise, it could be Lizong, Qi Guo, no matter how bad it is, it may also be Jincheng League, Yufeng Sect or Ruijinmen, but the reason why this errand can be released smoothly is thanks to the eldest brother Bai Xin, otherwise, he will become a loose person with an empty position but no salary, or he will be reduced to guarding the port, I heard that something happened there recently, "the second master" A personal guard who fancied escaped without permission, but it is a happy thing to see, this matter was passed on by Bai Xin, and it changed its taste, but it only dared to say in private, in the sect, no one dared to find the bad luck of the "second master", and it is said that the day before yesterday, this "second master" has been promoted to the Jindan realm, according to the Ministry of Rites, this is not a vision in the sky, and the manna has been dropped.
This is not the busy farming season, and the plain and indifferent Wu Xuan can't help but complain in his heart, a bunch of sycophants, if you don't pay your salary, you must be the first to run away, right?
However, with the help of the weird plank, his cultivation has also improved a little, although it is still far away from Jindan, but it seems to have loosened a lot, such a change can hide the white letter who was originally responsible for sticking to it, but the pill that lacks something must be easy to be discovered by the head and the "second master".
Plank-sama, you can rest here quietly!
Wu Xuan thought silently in his heart, he had the intention to take this plank with him, but it couldn't fit into the storage bag, so he could only bury it here, thinking that the plank that saved him twice was really a good thing. Squatting down and feeling the real presence of the plank again, he immediately stood up and quickly left the tea garden.
The smoke and rain once again hid this place, and on the largest tea tree in the garden, on the top cluster of branches and leaves, a thumb-sized bud was immediately born, and the bud was incompatible with this tea tree, soaked in rainwater, swaying on the branches, as if bidding farewell to Wuxuan.
............
Jincheng faction, God bless the city.
The night rain is like a needle, but Su Liqing's face is happy, he just learned that the sixth lady of the spiritual level cultivation is pregnant, this is an excellent thing, and he feels that the ability of the old immortal of the hundred medicines is indeed clever, he is also secretly vigilant, and plans to send the sixth lady to the south to recuperate, and it is necessary to ensure that the matter of "giving birth to a boy" is safe and smooth, so as not to be calculated by people with a heart.
The matter of Jincheng League has not yet landed, and he is very anxious in his heart, Leng Tingtao and Zuo Zician have already bowed their heads and obeyed orders, thanks to their use of the Chamber of Commerce to force the palace to suppress, of course, there is also Liu Ting's belief in the results of the beating, from the few words of the meeting with the two, Su Liqing can catch a trace of such a clue, without the support of the peak, it is difficult for him to retreat into advance, this is obvious, this point, he understands very well in his heart.
However, it was precisely because it was related to Shangfeng that Qing Yuzong defected to another "Nine Old Men" Song Xianghong halfway, which made this matter have a new change, and Liu Tingjian turned to chase
Seeking a more stable and powerful Jincheng Alliance, rather than a word, of course, if there are three families and three votes of the Jincheng faction, the Huanglong faction and the Lelin Sect, in this Jincheng Alliance composed of five sects, if you can do something together, it is not difficult.
But the problem lies in the word "concentric", presumably this is also the reason why Qingyu Sect and Biyun Sect dare to join the alliance. Otherwise, it becomes a win-win situation for the banker.
I believe that in some major matters, Liu Tingjian will help me knock them one or two, after all, this is beneficial to him, more sects to defect, plus the smooth flow of the sea road, it must be an excellent thing for him. Su Liqing thought so, but he didn't take this expectation as a real basis, he knew the rules of the game, only when he became stronger, he would have more right to speak. Having said that, this kind of strengthening must be premised on not threatening their existing gainers, this is a matter of "degree", fortunately, before reaching the pseudo-heaven level, they will not fall into such an embarrassing dilemma, this point, on the contrary, Wan Yuting, is about to have this worry.
Inspiration struck suddenly, and he suddenly felt more than one force lock on to him. His angry eyebrows opened slightly, and the breath of the middle of the ground level was suddenly revealed, he moved sideways, and in an instant, he left the inner mansion of the master, and the drizzle hit his spiritual power shield that bloomed with cold light, and it instantly steamed, and even the water vapor on the ground near him was completely dispersed.
Who is it?
Su Liqing's heart flashed with this thought, this sense of crisis on the verge of a desperate situation, he had not been there in person for decades, three, no, four prefecture-level monks, and this breath seemed to have never been seen before, and there were countless thoughts in his heart, and he went through the targets he might provoke one by one, but he didn't seem to find anything special, except for today's polite refusal of the cooperation conditions of the Lizong Yu family, he has not provoked anyone's displeasure recently.
Could it really be the Yu family?
He remembered Yu Chengke's dissatisfied cold gaze when he left, compared to when he negotiated peace in Hanshan, he was not much more than he said, although he didn't say death, but in fact, Su Liqing asked himself, he had closed the door to negotiation, saying that kind of condition, of course he couldn't accept it, just with the friendship of the Yu family, and the cooperation of a few shops, it was impossible to exchange the status of Heishuimen's hometown to be "co-managed" by the Jincheng faction and the Qianshan sect.
He felt that the Yu family obviously overestimated his strength, although as the five major families of the Li Sect, they also had enough influence, but the Jincheng faction was not a small sect like the Hanshan faction, and he already had a potential unsuccessful help like the "Jincheng League", of course he had to refuse the excessive demands of the Yu family, this Yu family was obviously a lobbyist invited by Jiang Feng, and he didn't know what conditions he sacrificed in exchange for the help of the other party, this kid is becoming more and more dangerous.
Hum!
Do you want to do it directly and coerce me into comply?
Su Liqing's body suddenly became cold, and there was a magic sword as black as ink in his hand, which was the treasure he obtained from the Zhong family, the "Blood Wave Light Sword", which was successfully practiced recently, this sword is very suitable for group battles, and it just came in handy today.
Just let me try your catties, he said in his heart, following the direction of one of them, and flew straight to the clouds, a thunderbolt swept across the sky in the distance, illuminating his slightly resolute cheeks, and he immediately locked on the other party, and the other people also approached this side at the same time.
The siege of monks of the same level is indeed dangerous, Su Liqing has his own understanding in his heart, he has been trying his best to avoid this situation, turning the sect into an alliance, he escaped it once, and now, it is inevitable to go!
Click!
In the darkness where lightning flashed occasionally, two swords of considerable strength were colliding in one place, which suddenly stimulated a majestic impact force, making this night rain also become whistling and sharp, Su Liqing caught a glimpse of a lot of streamers flying up from far and near, which was a sign that the Xuan-level monks of his own sect were coming, and his heart was much more stable.
The first time he tried the opponent's edge, Su Liqing raised his sword and fell, dodged another magic weapon that attacked secretly, and was about to urge the "Blood Wave Light Sword" in his hand, but he sensed several other strange powerful existences, coming from dozens of miles away.
Is there still reinforcements? There are some mysterious levels in that sect, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with, he was a little flustered in his heart, but he felt that the enemies around him were scattering, and in an instant, he disappeared, he did not chase it, only in the distance, there seemed to be dozens of thunderstorm-like explosions, and then, it disappeared.
What's going on?
Su Liqing stood in the air for a while, then had to fall into the clouds, and when he led everyone into the inner mansion of the head of the house, he found that on the rice paper in front of the case, a line of dark characters was written:
"Don't worry, the crisis has been solved. ”
The spiritual power moved slightly, and the rice paper suddenly turned into a cloud of useless ashes, no matter who it was, whether it was someone from the Yu family or not, Liu Tingjian had already found someone to help him resolve the crisis, of course, this is not without a price, it seems that the matter of the Jincheng League, as well as the investigation of Li Dabang, still have to be grasped tightly.
