Chapter 1073: Lakeside Residence and Painting Boat

Excalibur Gate, a secret room somewhere.

The chamber was pitch black, with no light in the center.

I saw that above the secret room in the center, a fluorescent stone began to flicker with a glimmer of light, but the light source was very weak, and there was no way to illuminate the entire secret room.

In the secret room, there are ten figures sitting at this moment, and their robes are in five different colors.

On the side directly north of the secret room, there was an old man in a golden brocade robe, although his face was pale, his eyes were like electricity, and his body revealed a sharp aura that could not be seen directly.

However, the place is not well lit, and only the contours of its resolute face can be vaguely seen, and it is impossible to peek into its full appearance, and the people around him can't even see their faces clearly.

"Brother Lu, your junior brother Split Mountain Sword has fallen, my Liu family disciple Hua Yan has also followed in his footsteps, and Dongsheng Wangfu and his party have also fallen, what do you think of this matter?" the golden-robed old man asked.

Everyone present was silent, but their eyes were fixed on a figure in an earthy yellow robe due south.

"What else can you think, Senior Brother Liu is in charge of the sect, of course you have the final say, but since Senior Brother has fallen, then the title of this Split Mountain Sword is about to change hands, I have to go back early to select some people, and start selecting when the ceremony is over!" said the yellow-robed figure.

This person's tone is vicissitudes, and there is even a hint of aging, it sounds like an old man, but it is full of energy, even if he speaks, it gives people a heavy feeling.

"This matter must not be passed like this, I dare to provoke my Divine Sword Sect at this time, I want the murderer to die without a whole body, and destroy his nine clans!"

When he said this, a fierce aura spread out from the old man's body, but fortunately, the people present had a profound cultivation and were not affected by it.

"Senior Brother Liu, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, after all, the murderer must know about the Double Cultivation Ceremony, so he chose this time to do it, could it be that he deliberately wanted to destroy the process of the ceremony?" said a woman in blue.

However, this woman was half a distance behind the other blue-robed woman next to her, and it was obvious that this woman's status was lower than that of the woman next to her.

"The canon will never be broken, but we must also find the murderer, and then punish him on top of the canon, and let him suffer ten thousand swords!" the golden-robed old man then said in a fierce tone.

Then he instructed: "Inform all the halls, the ceremony is loose and tight, since the murderer has moved, it is absolutely impossible to just forget it, the ceremony will continue to be held, it depends on whether he dares to come!"

As soon as these words came out, a murderous aura filled the secret room, and the eyes of the golden-robed old man flashed with lust.

"Senior brother, how is that girl Feixue?" At this moment, the blue-robed woman who had not spoken suddenly spoke.

"Senior sister, don't worry, it's foolproof!" said the golden-robed old man with a sneer.

"That's good!" After seeing the old man's expression, the blue-robed woman said with a hint of a smile.

After more than a dozen breaths, after the discussion, everyone left, and in the secret room that was still full just now, only the old man in the golden robe was left at this moment.

"When the Nine Swords Ancestor returns, these little ones are just local chickens and dogs, hahaha, hahahaha..."

A maniacal laugh echoed, and there was even a cruelty in the laughter.

......

Lei Luo was in a hurry, and he had to refine his sword at the same time, even if the flying boat escape technique was amazing, it took nine months to rush to the vicinity of the Divine Sword Villa.

But nearby, on the vast plains in the distance, there is a residential area that occupies a radius of more than 100 miles, and next to the village is a huge lake that is hopeless.

On the other side of the lake, there is a thick fog that makes it impossible to see anything, and that's where the real Excalibur Villa is located.

There are no walls on the outside, and the residential area that covers an area of 100 miles is just a mortal residence under the Divine Sword Gate.

In such a huge place, nine out of ten people living in it are mortals.

The Divine Sword Sect family has a big business, and there are behemoths like the Liu family in the gate, once the family controls the sect, it is not easy for the mortals in the family to arrange.

Therefore, in addition to all kinds of sects, a place to live for people who cannot cultivate will be arranged, and the Divine Sword Sect has arranged such a place that is larger than the ordinary city.

In fact, the scale of this place can long be said to be a city, but there is no city wall, and it is protected by the Divine Sword Gate, and no one rushes here to make trouble.

The little white fox happily drove a snow-white flying sword with a flying sword, this sword was small in size, no more than two feet long, and it was more than enough to carry the little white fox.

By her side, Lei Luo sat cross-legged at the front of a magic weapon flying sword, while Lu Linglong sat sideways behind her, looking at the scene in front of her.

I saw a white pilian in the distance extending from the end of the endless plain, and this was the Hengchuan River, the first major river of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, which was the source from the Beihai Sea in the Beiliang Domain and across the borders of the Beiliang Domain, the Dongsheng Domain and the Southern Territory.

The dwelling place below is built near the lake, and the huge Yokogawa River is thousands of miles long, and in the narrowest part of this place, it is also as wide as hundreds of miles.

Not only that, but in the center of the Yokogawa River, next to the residence is a huge ponding lake.

This lake is huge like an inland sea, endless, and the center of the lake is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the place of thousands of miles is where the main mountain gate of the Divine Sword Gate is located.

Countless passenger ships and merchant ships are crowded on the Yokogawa River, but when they pass by from upstream and downstream, they do not dare to approach the center of the lake, and all of them cling to the side of their residence.

On the east side of the settlement, there is also a huge pier with an unknown number of boats docked on it, including several small boats that travel between the residence and the center of the lake.

"Tut-tut, although the people of the Liu family of the Divine Sword Sect are domineering and cruel, this place is indeed a rare scenic spot, no wonder the Divine Sword Mountain Villa is famous throughout the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty!" Lei Luo looked at the huge ponded lake like the inland sea below, and said with emotion.

The little white fox was bouncing on the flying sword, and its two little paws slapped like applause.

Then she jumped to Raylo's shoulder, her mouth slightly open, and she sucked it in.

The white flying sword turned into a ball of white light in the air, flew into her mouth, and then returned to the demon pill in her body to recuperate.

"Let's go, let's go see this Excalibur Villa!"

A group of two people and a fox fell straight down, and flew into the residential area below, as for why they didn't fly to the center of the lake, naturally there were rules in the Divine Sword Gate, and they had to take the waterway to enter the Divine Sword Villa.

Of course, when Lei Luo came for the first time, he would naturally bring two interested girls here to take a look around.

Even if he might have to destroy the Double Cultivation Ceremony next, even if he wanted to slaughter the full door of the Liu family of the Divine Sword Gate, it would not prevent him from relaxing before the war.

After all, he was going to take Lu Linglong and the little white fox to travel around the world, and when he arrived at such a famous place, there was no reason not to visit it.

There is no special name for the residence, it is called "Outer City", after all, the famous Shenjian Villa is nearby, which is also a lakeside ferry with a little fame.

However, this place also has some characteristics of Dongshengyu, and most of the pedestrians around are wearing strong suits, or loose martial arts uniforms, and some tights inside, and women almost do not wear Luo skirt palace clothes.

The clothing characteristics of these people who have not cultivated are simple and clear, that is, how convenient it is to move.

This is very different from the Holy Heavenly Realm where Confucian robes are prevalent, so the Dongsheng Domain is also known as the land of martial arts, because almost all the mortals around him know some martial arts.

From the outside, the periphery of the residence is full of low-rise houses, but they do not look shabby, and even the arrangement and layout are somewhat regular.

The floor of the living area is neat, the stone pavement is almost as smooth as a knife cut, and the low-rise buildings are lined up one after another, but they are extremely neat, which makes people feel comfortable to look at.

Every road in the residence is wide, the widest of which is about ten zhang, with horse-drawn carriages passing through the center and pedestrians on both sides.

The smaller road is also five zhang wide, which can also allow five or six horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side, and the pedestrians come and go in an orderly manner, which makes it even more safe and secure here.

Continuing to walk forward, after about dozens of miles, the surrounding buildings have also changed, and the buildings on both sides of the road have all become small buildings with two or three stories high, which looks much more elegant.

Among these small buildings are also interspersed with a number of smaller courtyards, almost all of which are courtyard houses, and the plaques on them also write the names of some mansion owners and so on.

Moving on, the center of the residence is already full of small wooden buildings with four or five stories high, but this is not the most prosperous place.

The wharf is the most famous, so the most prosperous place to live is the east side of the lake, and it is said that it is the most lively place in the area.

Just as he was ten miles away from the prosperous place to the east, the little white fox sniffed in the air with his little nose, and then let out a pleasant call.

Then she raised her little paw and pointed ahead, which meant: There is something delicious there, take the princess over quickly.

Linhu Residence, a five-story restaurant near the ferry, the restaurant is full of guests at the moment, and it is extremely lively.

So much so that when Lei Luo came here with the little white fox, there were even countless people queuing up outside the hall on the first floor.

This is the most famous restaurant in the residence, not only because of the background of this restaurant, but also because the chef here is said to be the imperial chef in the imperial city, and when he was old, he came to his hometown in Dongshengyu, so he was invited by the owner of the restaurant.

This lakeside residence is famous for its aquatic dishes, and it is said that even some of the gods and goddesses of the Shenjian Gate come here to taste the delicious food.

However, the immortal figures who can generally come to eat are just some low-level disciples who have cultivated qi and built a foundation and have not completely opened the valley.

After all, although Bigu Dan is full of hunger, it has no taste at all, even if you give Bigu Dan to the little white fox to eat, she will dislike it very much.

Just as Lei Luo was about to step into the lakeside residence, the little white fox suddenly jumped up, and then pointed somewhere in front of him.

Lei Luo followed her instructions and looked ahead, and saw a huge painting boat three stories high, sixty or seventy zhang in size.

"Lake House!" he muttered to himself, looking at the plaque on the boat.

Then he let go of his divine sense, and he saw that near this painting boat, many cultivators were all walking towards that painting boat.

After Lei Luo's eyes rolled, he understood the reason, then smiled indifferently, and walked towards the painting boat with the little white fox, and there were also a few people around him.

"It is said that this lake dwelling is a must here, the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace, and it is a freshly made river delicacy, today we are going to taste it!"

"Yes, yes, although Linhuju is also a little famous, it is just a mortal grade, and people from the immortal family such as me naturally want to go to Huzhongju!"

The people who came and went around muttered, and these people were all dressed in brocade clothes, and they looked like they should be some noble disciples of the Dongsheng Domain.

However, these people's minds were all on the painting boat at the moment, and no one cared that there was a person with a fox boarding the painting boat.

Of course, you need some credentials to wait for the painting boat, such as you must have a cultivation body, but this is naturally no problem for Lei Luo.

There were some sons in brocade clothes who came here, but they didn't cultivate themselves, and they were stopped by the subordinates above the painting boat.

However, although their faces were angry, they did not dare to attack, because if they did, it would be disrespectful to the Divine Sword Gate, and no one here would dare to offend the Divine Sword Sect.

After a short time, the boat was full, and then set off for the lake ahead.

What made Lei Luo strange was that such a large painting boat was not the real place of the lake dwelling, but the carrier of sending people into the lake dwelling.

The boat sailed towards the lake, and left the shore for more than ten miles in a short time.

Looking at the thousands of sails around them, Lu Linglong and the little white fox were all lying on the deck side of the painting boat, with little stars in their eyes.

Lei Luo also stood with his hands in his hands, looking at this boundless lake of stagnant water, and his heart was also a little excited.
