On the second day of September, at noon, a shuttle boat gradually approached the pier on the north shore of Qiongzhou, chased by several seabirds.

Before long, a young man in a black robe with a disheveled hair walked up to the bow of the boat, looked up, totoed a little, jumped his body, stepped on a bamboo row halfway to borrow strength, and floated over the sea surface of more than ten zhang to the shore.

One of the soldiers on duty near the shore was taken aback by this situation, and let out a brief exclamation, which caused the comrades around him to laugh. So he was annoyed and angry, and he scolded: "Where did the wild boy come from, but did he use Qiongzhou Wharf as a place for monkey play?"

As he spoke, he tightened the spear in his hand and was about to chase after him and stop him.

But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by a comrade, and he heard the man say, "Don't you see that boy's saber dripping blood on the ground?"

"So what's the matter? The sword body is bloody, and eighty percent of it is killing someone, just to catch him and lay down the law!"

"Fu your sister's law!" the persuader scolded.

"My brother taught you a good - I'd rather provoke a thief than a young man. The boy's blood is like fire, and he dares to poke a hole in the sky when he starts crazy, so who cares about the king's law and military law? Look at the boat, it takes three or five people to start, but now it has touched the dock, but I don't see half a person come out to visit, I am afraid that the boy has already been killed. If you dare to go up to find fault, you are not afraid that you will also be killed? We are soldiers who eat food, not the fast hunting of the yamen, and don't take the work that shouldn't be done. ”

"Our Qionghaiwei is not comparable to those guards in the mainland who grow vegetables in the fields, Lao Tzu has even killed a few little widows, will he not be able to deal with a little cub?"

"What a stupid brain, you him! What can you do with him? Catch a boy, can you get a bounty bonus? The most important thing at the moment is to get on the boat. ”

The man pointed to the shuttle bucket boat, "If the people inside are really dead, not to mention how many ownerless goods there are, just selling that boat is enough for our brothers to make a fortune!"

As soon as he said this, he woke everyone up, and there was no objection at the moment, and they rushed towards the place where the boat was parked.

"It's a little bit more impressive. Hiding in the team of dock porters, Su Chong withdrew his gaze, quickly turned into an alley, and walked to the island under the guidance of the scorching sun overhead.

Compared with the inland states, the boundaries of Qiongzhou Island are not exaggerated to say the size of a palm.

It's just that the land of a state is not measurable by two legs after all, and Su rushed away for a while, but still didn't see the end of the long street.

Soon feeling hungry and thirsty, he went into a seafood restaurant, first to fill his stomach, and then to find an inn to settle down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, the guy who came to greet him was surprised, and asked: "This son, look at your face, but are you not satisfied with the water and soil of Qiongzhou?"

Su Chong was stunned when he heard this, his mask had not been taken off yet, and then he came back to his senses and lied with a wry smile: "When I came, I was seasick, and my face was inevitably bad, but it was not caused by illness." You can point me a good spot and serve me some good food. ”

When the guy heard him say this, he was relieved, and hurriedly led him to find a place to sit down, made a pot of tea, and then rushed to the stove to serve food.

Xu is not yet the time for dinner, and there are only two tables of customers in the restaurant, which can seat more than a dozen tables. Su Chong glanced at it and found that there were people from foreign countries among them, so he guessed that it was a first-class seafarer who crossed the sea to breed goods.

In his previous life, he was accustomed to seeing exotic things, and at this time, he was not surprised to see a person with deep eyes and a high nose, golden hair and blue eyes, so he only poured some tea into the white porcelain bowl and took it up to look at the picture in the cup.

The water mirror is not as clear as the bronze mirror and silver mirror, but after he looked at it, he also knew that his complexion was extremely poor.

The reason why this is the case is not caused by seasickness, firstly, because of this cicada wing mask, and secondly, because of the thunder that night, when he was frightened, and was hurt by the true meaning of the thunder.

At that time, the thunder and lightning fire that came into his heart shattered the mental scene that Su Chong had imagined with just one blow.

Fortunately, he was determined and kept his mind at the critical moment, otherwise he would be like Li Minggang, a true soldier who was killed by the Divine Sword, and ended up with a dead heart and a scattered soul.

This time, Su Chong's injury was extremely serious, and because he felt too much about the thunder Tianwei, once he entered the meditation, there would be a flash of thunder in his heart, and it was impossible to heal the wound afterwards.

This is just like the obstacle of knowledge and vision as the Buddhists say, or the demons of the heart as the Taoists say, the more you don't want to see it, the more you will come to the front of you to make a mistake.

This accident caused him to be distressed for two days and two nights, and he once thought that there was no recovery from his injuries.

Fortunately, he was unwilling to accept his fate, and with the help of "Nourishing Nerves", although he was repeatedly frustrated, he still forcibly visualized, and finally endured the discomfort and comprehended a trace of thunder.

Relying on this slight comprehension, Su Chong barely maintained his heart, and used it to heal some of his injuries before getting off the ship.

Otherwise, his complexion at this time would be even more ugly, and he just held his breath, for fear that he would be mistaken for being dead for a long time.

"It is more accurate to say that thunder is not so much the cardinal of heaven and earth as the heaven and earth killing machine. I just sensed the thunder when I was meditating, and it caused such serious consequences...... If one day you become a Yin God, and you have to face the baptism of thunder and fire, how terrifying it will be?"

Thinking of the terrible place, Su Chong was excited, and hurriedly drank a sip of hot tea to warm his heart, and then closed his eyes to recuperate, not daring to think nonsense anymore.

Not long after, the guy brought the food and drinks. Su Chong opened his eyes and saw that there were four kinds of shellfish, shrimp roe, fried oysters, and steamed fish, all of which were full of fresh fragrance and were good at opening people's appetites.

He sniffed deeply, moved his index finger, took the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "The ingredients are all of the best craftsmanship, it's really good." ”

Then he instructed the men, "If you have rice wine, come to a corner." ”

When the wine arrived, Su Chong took a sip, feeling a burst of satisfaction, and felt a little tired in a trance.

This made him suddenly realize, and he said happily in his heart: "I was so badly injured that I couldn't sleep with palpitations, and I thought that I could only recover from my injuries by working hard to face difficulties. Maybe a good night's sleep at this time will go a long way in recovering from your injuries?"

Thinking of this, he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked the guy, "Is there a quiet inn nearby?"

"There are many local businessmen, and there are naturally many inns. It's just that when it comes to quietness, there is no place that can satisfy the childe. ”

The guy turned his head, "But there are a few rooms in the backyard of our restaurant, and we don't always live for noisy guests. ”

"Don't wait, let's go. I'm so tired that it's not too late to come back and eat after a good night's sleep. ”

Su Chong took out a silver bill of about five taels from the hidden pocket in his sleeve, threw it to the buddy and said, "Use it to settle accounts, and then you can buy me a decent set of clothes, and I will give you a reward." ”

The guy had the money in hand, and he smiled with joy, for fear of attracting the attention of other guys, but he only thanked him in a low voice, and then led the way diligently and took Su Chong to the house.

After a while, Su Chong and the guy arrived in the backyard of the restaurant, raised their eyes and saw two spacious side rooms, and they were very satisfied.

According to the man's guidance, he chose a room in the west head, and when he entered the room, he saw that the furnishings were exquisite, and he knew that the man was attentive.

It's just that he didn't want to say much, so he sent people away in a few words, and then tied the door of the room, took off his clothes, and went to the bed, thinking about entering the dream.

Su Chong slept very well this night.

When he woke up from the dream, he only felt that his fatigue had disappeared and his body was relaxed. I was busy and contemplated, and found that the injury was mostly healed, and even the thunder light that appeared in my heart from time to time seemed to be no longer so terrifying, but gave birth to a hint of tameness.

"But it is in response to the saying that 'after the great tribulation there will be blessings.'" Out of the fixed situation, he thought in his heart: "With this encounter, it won't be so dangerous if you encounter thunder in the future." If I can understand the true meaning of this thunder, maybe I can turn it into the Divine Sword? If I can do it, I will have one more powerful means in the future......"

Just when he was looking forward to Shu and wanted the thunder to be his own use, the guy who had entertained him before came to knock on the door and asked, "Childe, are you awake?"

Su Chong didn't know an inch, so it was inconvenient to go down and open the door, so he said, "But the clothes are here?"

"Exactly. Yesterday I came over a few times, and I heard snoring in the child's room, thinking that I was too tired to disturb it. ”

The guy said obediently: "I expected that the son should have slept enough, so he came to deliver the clothes again." The small one also made the soup boil in the soup room, which was in the wooden house behind the bushes of trees opposite. Childe can wash up and go to the dust on his body. ”

"That piece of silver was spent comfortably. Su Chong thought in his heart, couldn't help but smile, and then ordered: "Put the clothes out of the door, and I will pick them up in a while." You go and prepare a table to eat, three dishes and one soup, and then blanch a corner of rice wine, I will use it after washing. ”

Hearing that the man left as he said, Su Chong picked up the old clothes from the ground and put them on, went outside to get new clothes, hanged the door lock, pulled out the copper key and entered the soup pool.

When he walked into the restaurant again, he was completely different from when he came, and he became a handsome young man with full energy and bright eyes again, because at this time, Su Chong not only recovered a lot, but the cicada wing mask was also taken off by Su Chong and put in his arms.

When the guy saw it, he immediately praised it, which provoked the shopkeeper and other guys to scold in their hearts: "This grandson must have been rewarded by the guest, otherwise how could he be so intimate, as if he had seen his own father!"

Su Chong was also impatient to listen, and said, "Where is the sycophancy, is the meal ready?"

The guy stretched out his hand and asked, "Okay, okay, it's still on the table from yesterday." Chicken sea cucumber, vinegar poured wave cone, fresh bamboo shoots fried shrimp loin, and then served with bird's nest stewed white fungus, it is exactly the three dishes and one soup you ordered. ”

Su Chong nodded, followed him over to serve the dishes, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a few guests walking in out of the corner of his eye.

Subconsciously glanced at it, his eyes suddenly froze, and he muttered, "Hey, isn't this a green hoe girl?"

Among the visitors, a young girl in a green shirt who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a sheathed long sword in her hand, had not yet noticed that someone was watching in the corner.

As soon as she entered the door, she chose a place by the window and sat down, and then angrily scolded a young man who was traveling with her: "Ning Zique, look at the fools you brought, walking one by one with their heads and hiding their necks, living like a big teapot turtle male, which makes people look upset! Hurry up and blast them away for me, or you don't want to come out with me again!"
