Chapter 5: The Conspiracy on the Holy Ship (1st Update)
Xue Zha felt that he had been sailing in the dense fog for a long time, and he couldn't identify the direction at all, and the only one who could identify the direction was the holy ship in front of him.
The holy ship was moving very fast, ignoring Xue Zha and them behind him.
Xue Zha was very surprised by the speed of the holy ship, from the appearance, it was somewhat similar to the big ships of the ancient Ming and Qing dynasties, but it needed to be driven by many people, and the larger the hull, the more inconvenient it was to move.
He didn't build the ship that big, but he knew it very well, and he still incorporated some modern sailing technology to create this steel giant, but it didn't seem to have much advantage in front of the holy ship.
"Sure enough, it's worthy of the Holy Courtyard, a ship is so powerful. ”
Xue Zha became more and more curious about what kind of place the Holy Courtyard was.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and Xue Zha summoned the captain.
"Did you find any finds, did you find a way to get in?"
After Wang Zhi agreed to take Xue Zha into the Holy Courtyard, Xue Zha had already instructed the captain to record the driving route, and he must clearly know the way to enter the Holy Courtyard.
Moreover, the situation on the side of the temple is unknown, so if you can't beat it, you can't get lost when you run away.
"Lord...... The lord, his subordinates, and his subordinates are incompetent and unable to record the incoming line. ”
I saw the captain fall to his knees with a pop, and his whole body lay motionless on the ground.
Xue Zha's face changed slightly, but he was not angry, he put his hands behind his back, glanced at the holy ship in front of him and asked.
"Can't record it, what the hell is going on?"
Xue Zha felt that things were not so simple.
"Lord, everything was normal on the sea before, but since entering this dense fog area, the visibility has been greatly reduced, not to mention, the compass and Sinan have all lost their effect, not to mention that they can't be recorded now, and even the basic direction can no longer be distinguished. ”
The captain's body lay directly on the ground, trembling slightly at the same time, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.
A deep sigh came, and Xue Zha got up, reached out and helped the captain up, while gently patting his dusty sleeve.
"Forget it, it's not your fault, the Holy Courtyard is already mysterious, if it is found so easily, then it will not be called the most respected place for all scholars, okay, you go down first." ”
Xue Zhe waved his hand to signal the captain to leave, and sat back in his seat directly, his brows twisted into a pimple.
"Senior brother, let's just follow that ship, in case they ......"
Qian Duoduo walked in, glanced at the captain's back, and said softly.
"Senior brother, I understand what you said, but now we are in a passive position, and we don't even know where the door of the Holy Courtyard is, how to get in, even if there is a trap in front of us, we have to jump in. ”
Xue Zha took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, he was not in a very good mood now, and there was always a feeling of uneasiness lingering in his heart.
He cupped his forehead and waved his hand slightly.
"Senior brother, let me stay alone for a while. ”
Xue Zhe was the only one left in the room, he was facing up, staring blankly upward, holding his right hand to his chest, his thoughts wandering.
"What's wrong with me? What is the anxiety about me? Is there danger? Or is there something wrong with Xiaolian? No...... Xiaolian must be fine. ”
Xue Zha straightened up suddenly, raised his hand and touched his face, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
"I must be thinking nonsense, I haven't seen any wind and waves before, why did I become a little timid when I got to sea?"
Xue Zhe left from his seat, he walked out of the room, and he really couldn't hide in the room at this time.
At this moment, on top of the holy ship moving ahead, a person knelt in a small room.
Looking at his cyan Confucian shirt, it was Wang Zhi who appeared on the sea before, there was no trace of arrogance on his face, his head was lowered, and a bead of sweat rolled down from the corner of his eyebrows.
On either side of Wang Zhi sat four old men, all of whom were wearing cyan Confucian shirts, but the color was darker than Wang Zhi's.
And directly in front of him, there was also an old man, and everyone looked at him, obviously respecting him.
This is an old man about sixty years old, with white hair and white beard, a black Confucian shirt, a crown and a hat, and his eyes closed, sitting in his seat as if he were asleep.
"Master Zhao, the boy of the Wang family has made it very clear just now, that Xue Zha is not as powerful as rumored, I don't know why he is still allowed to enter the Holy Courtyard?"
An old man on Wang Zhi's left got up and bowed to the man above, but there was not much respect on his face.
The old man's eyes were a little gloomy, his hair was only a little black, and the wrinkles were engraved on his emaciated face, and his face was even older than that of Zhao Shi above.
"Old Hu, do you mean to say that Master Zhao is doing something wrong? Don't forget your identity, don't be embarrassed by your military exploits. ”
The first old man on the right side picked up a cup of tea beside him, gently flicked a few tea leaves that floated up, and didn't even look at each other.
"You ......"
Hu Lao slapped the table suddenly, and before he could raise his hand to the person who spoke, the old man sitting at the top spoke.
"Shut up, don't think I don't know, sit down!"
As the word "sit down" fell, Hu Lao felt that his body suddenly sank, and he sat back in his seat without his control.
"Zhao Shi...... You, have you improved your strength again?"
Hu Lao's face showed a shocked look, without the slightest disrespect from before, and even a little more fearful.
"Xue Zha's affairs are not up to me, so you can do it yourself. ”
The old man known as Master Zhao got up from his seat, flicked his sleeves slightly, and disappeared directly into place, and the other people in the room looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Abominable ......"
Hu Lao raised his hand and patted the armrest of the seat, his face was very ugly.
His situation in the Holy Courtyard was very embarrassing, and he finally had the opportunity to go further, but Xue Zha's appearance put his position in jeopardy, and once Xue Zha entered the Holy Courtyard, it was likely that his position would be replaced, which was definitely not the result he wanted to see.
"Why do you value that kid so much, what's so good about him! Isn't it just that he is shocked, he has signed the 'Holy Dao Contract', he is just lucky, what else is there besides luck!"
Hu Lao's hand on the handrail was slightly forced, and the wooden handrail suddenly turned into powder.
"Tut-tut, I said Hu Lao, you are so old, you are still so angry, be careful and hurt your body. ”
The old man who had just drunk tea spoke again, got up, shook his robe, and walked out of the room with his hands.
Hu Lao stared at the back of the departing man, his fists clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged, already on the verge of eruption.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Wang Zhi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and his clenched fists slowly loosened.
"Wang Zhi, how do you treat you as a teacher?"
Old Hu helped Wang Zhi up from the ground, with a smile on his face.
Wang Zhi only glanced up at Hu Lao, and immediately lowered his head.
"Elder Hu treats me like a disciple, and the disciple doesn't dare to forget it. ”
When Hu Lao heard Wang Zhi's words, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and pat him on the shoulder.
"In that case, there is something that I am not very convenient to do, can you help me as a teacher?"
Wang Zhi's body was shocked, and he wanted to refuse, but he looked up at Hu Lao and couldn't help but shudder when he saw his eyes.
"Disciple...... I would like to share my worries for the teacher......"
Wang Zhi gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt on the ground, put his hands together, and bowed respectfully to Hu Lao.
