Chapter 44: Jingzhou City
Jingzhou is not far from Yangzhou, it doesn't take long for Ye Lei to hurry, plus Ziye and Chitu, it is a day's journey to Jingzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to Luo Xiong, after seven days, the treasure will be opened again, and Ye Lei decided not to go so early so as not to attract unnecessary attention.
As a result, Ye Lei and the others stopped and stopped, and they didn't find any special discoveries along the way, but they just found a few demon beasts that had not yet reached the innate level, which was not a tricky thing for Ye Lei and the others.
"Chitu, did your mother go to Jingzhou with Wusheng back then?" On the way, Ye Lei remembered some stories from his previous life, looked at Chitu and asked.
"I didn't know much about the things back then, after all, it was my mother who followed the martial saint. Chitu said, "But among the exercises left by the Martial Saint, there is indeed a part of it that records the affairs of Jingzhou." ”
"Oh, is there really such a thing?" Ye Lei looked at Chitu with interest, "Why don't you tell us about it." ”
"Well, according to the records of the Martial Saint, this is what happened back then. ”
It turned out that the martial saint Guan Yunchang was in charge of Jingzhou back then, but he was plotted by traitors and had no choice but to leave Jingzhou, but at that time, Guan Yunchang was famous for his martial arts, so naturally some forces would come to recruit him, but Guan Yunchang was righteous and unwilling to betray the old master, so he was killed.
"Before he died, the martial saint asked my mother to leave with the phoenix blood jade, and came to the cave where the books were stored. Chitu said, "The thing behind the Seven Swords of Thunder is what my mother wrote. ”
"It's also inseparable from the previous life. Ye Lei secretly sighed in his heart, "If this Martial Saint is also like me, it will be extremely sad." ”
"Chitu, has your mother ever recorded that the Martial Saint was killed by whom?" Ye Lei looked at Chitu at this time, this world had always given him a familiar feeling, and he wanted to get some clues from it.
"There are two people, Lu Ziming and Lu Boyan!" Chitu's face did not show any emotional changes, as if these two people had nothing to do with themselves in killing Guan Yunchang.
"But they're gone. Chitu said, "After the death of the martial saint, these two people actually got a stubborn disease and finally died, which can be regarded as the retribution of these two people." ”
"I see, Chitu, do you know anything about this place in Jingzhou?"
"I came here to find my mother. Chitu said, "But at that time, I was just a group of ordinary demon beasts, and I didn't dare to act without permission. ”
Listening to Chitu's words, it can be seen that Chitu is still very concerned about his mother's affairs, if it weren't for the death of the martial saint Guan Yunchang, his mother might not have died, and all this originated from the battle in Jingzhou, if Chitu has no hatred for Jingzhou in his heart, it is absolutely impossible.
Along the way, Ye Lei also passed through many towns, and after coming to these towns, the first thing Ye Lei did was to buy some local books, some books about humanities and history.
At this time, in Yangzhou City, in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, looking at the news sent back to him by the spies, Luo Xiong was also a little puzzled.
"Why does this Ye Lei only buy these things related to history, but he is indifferent to some martial arts cheats, which is interesting. A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Xiong's mouth, "But that's fine, I hope Ye Lei can get back what we want." ”
"Luo Xiong, is there any news from Ye Lei?" At this time, a young man walked out from behind Luo Xiong, "This is the message from the spies?"
"Young master, this is the news from the spies. Immediately, Luo Xiong handed the note in his hand to the young man, "Young master, this Ye Lei is a little strange, not only is he indifferent to the martial arts cheats, but he cares very much about this historical classic. ”
"What's so strange about this, geniuses will be a little different, this Ye Lei has a lot of potential, don't make enemies with him, remember!"
"Yes, young master!"
Then, the young man didn't say anything, and left directly, but Luo Xiong didn't understand very well in his heart, among the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, there were countless masters, why the young master would care so much about this person called Ye Lei.
Five days have passed, Ye Lei and his entourage have arrived in Jingzhou, and Ye Lei thought differently, Jingzhou City is very lively, a prosperous scene, compared to Yangzhou City.
"Jingzhou has been a strategic place since ancient times, so there are also a lot of merchants and merchants here, which is naturally more prosperous than Yangzhou City. Zi Ye sent a voice to Ye Lei and said, "Ye Lei, this Luo Xiong said that someone will answer us when we arrive in Jingzhou, why hasn't this person appeared yet?"
"Looks like we're going to go to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion first. ”
After inquiring, Ye Lei and the others learned where the Hundred Treasure Pavilion was located, so they hurriedly went, on this continent, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, as the largest chamber of commerce, had branches in various regions.
"Hello, I've come to find your helmsman here. After Ye Lei came to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, he cut straight to the point and showed the token in his hand to the reception staff of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
"Wait a minute, I'll report it. ”
"No need, Your Excellency should be Ye Lei's little brother!" At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the back hall of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, looking pot-bellied, but his strength surprised Ye Lei.
"Late stage of martial arts!" Ye Lei looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise, the aura emanating from this middle-aged man was not only something that a martial artist in the late stage of martial arts could do.
"Hello, are you the helmsman of this Jingzhou City Hundred Treasure Pavilion?" Ye Lei looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said very politely.
"Our helmsman is not here for the time being, and I'm in charge of this place now. The middle-aged man said, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am the deputy of the helmsman of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion in Jingzhou City, Luo Liang." ”
"Oh, I wonder if the seniors know Luo Xiong?"
"Luo Xiong is my younger brother, I naturally recognize him. Luo Liang looked at Ye Lei at this time and said with a smile, "Don't look at my appearance, in fact, I am only three years older than Luo Xiong." ”
"I see, since the two of you are brothers, you should know the purpose of my coming here. "There are still two days to go, and I want to know the exact location of this treasure." ”
"There's no rush on this matter, I'll naturally explain it to you when the helmsman returns. Luo Liang said, "In about two hours, the helmsman will return." ”
"Well, in that case, let's settle down and rest first. Ye Lei looked at Luo Liang and said, "I have to trouble Brother Luo Liang to take care of you during this time." ”
Subsequently, Ye Lei and his entourage came to the guest room of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, as the first chamber of commerce in the mainland, the guest room of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion is also very luxurious, not to mention ordinary people, even if it is a dignitary and dignitary, they will sigh to themselves.
All the lighting materials are used for more than a hundred years of night pearls, and this alone has already made Zi Ye's saliva flow, as a member of the Jiaolong clan, there is a natural desire to collect treasures.
"Zi Ye, you don't want to come here nonsense!" Ye Lei said to Zi Ye, "There are many masters here, and that Luo Liang just now is definitely not a master in the late stage of martial arts, and his strength should be higher." ”
"What you said is not wrong, if I am not mistaken, this person is at least a martial saint. Feng Wu said, "The aura emanating from this person's body is definitely not something that ordinary martial artists can emit. ”
"Don't worry, I still know this. Ziye said, "I'm still just a small Purple Night Dragon, and if I succeed in transforming into a dragon, I may still have the strength to fight." ”
"However, the deputy of this helmsman is already so strong, and the strength of this helmsman should be even higher. Ye Lei said, "Compared with here, Yangzhou City is not at the same level at all. ”
"This is also natural, you have also seen it, this Jingzhou City is full of people coming and going, merchants are constantly coming and going, and even on the street, you can see the innate Jindan warriors at will, if I guess correctly, these Jindan warriors are here to compete for the treasure left by the Emperor of the Heavenly Capital. Chitu looked at Ye Lei at this time and said calmly.
"But this Shendu Heavenly Emperor is also strange, he actually set up this kind of mechanism, only martial artists below the martial arts realm can enter, but turn his head and think about it, even if the martial artist of the Innate Golden Pill gets the treasure left by the Shendu Heavenly Emperor, how many lives does he have to use?" Ye Lei shook his head, how could he not think clearly of the thoughts of the Shendu Heavenly Emperor.
"Forget it, what the Heavenly Emperor thinks is something we can figure out. Zi Ye said, "What we have to do now is to prepare some life-saving pills, in front of the treasure, not everyone can keep their sanity." ”
"What Zi Ye said is not wrong, we don't have any pills on us now, so in the past two days, Ye Lei, you have to make more preparations. Chitu said.
"Don't worry, when I went down the mountain, Master gave me a lot of pills, which were enough for us to use. Ye Lei said.
"Among the few of us, you are the only one who is a martial artist of the Innate Golden Pill, which means that only you can enter, so where did we come from?" Zi Ye said.
"You heard it right, it's us!" Ye Lei said, "At that time, Luo Xiong said that none of the martial artists who surpassed the Innate Golden Pill realm came out, but there was no mention of demon beasts!"
"Don't come nonsense, if you anger the Heavenly Emperor, do you know what the consequences are!" Zi Ye said, "Back then, my ancestor, Xuanyuan Shenlong, didn't dare to offend the majesty of the Pangu Heavenly Emperor, let alone you, a little innate Jindan martial artist. ”
"Ordinary demon beasts are naturally not, but there is already an equal contract between the two of us, which means that you are also part of my combat power, so why not. ”
"I have a plan. Feng Wu said, "Ye Lei, you can include the Purple Night in your ring, and then release the Purple Night when you enter the treasure, and if there is any change, you can also react in the fastest time." ”
"Okay, that's it!"
After listening to Feng Wu's idea, Ye Lei also agreed, if he followed his own ideas, this Divine Capital Heavenly Emperor must have other intentions in the arrangement.
"I didn't know that Brother Ye Lei was coming, but I, as the master, was late!"
At this time, an unfamiliar voice came from outside the door, Ye Lei opened the door and saw a strange man standing at the door, and behind this man, it was Luo Liang.
"Presumably Your Excellency is the helmsman. Ye Lei looked at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but refresh his cognition of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion in his heart.
The man standing in front of Ye Lei looked like he was less than twenty-five years old, but Ye Lei couldn't see through this person's cultivation, which showed that this person was at least the strength of a martial saint.
However, if Ye Lei was still in Yangzhou City a few days ago, he would definitely see this man, this person was none other than the young master in Luo Xiong's mouth, one of the heirs of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
"Brother Ye Lei doesn't have to be polite, in Xia Zhan Zifan, looking at your appearance, I am a few years older than you, you can just call me Brother Zhan!"
"Then I'll be respectful, it's better to obey my fate, Brother Zhan, please come in!"
Then, Ye Lei welcomed Zhan Zifan into the room, Zhan Zifan saw the phoenix dance and the red rabbit in the room, and greeted him very politely, as for Ziye, it had already coiled on Ye Lei's neck.
"I guess this is my brother and sister. Zhan Zifan said, "It's a blessing to have this beautiful woman as a companion, Brother Ye Lei! ”
Brother Zhan laughed, as the helmsman of Brother Zhan, there must have been a group of wives and concubines in the family. Ye Lei said, "Brother Zhan, you and I don't talk darkly, let's talk about the treasure left by the Emperor of the Heavenly Capital." ”
"Brother Ye Lei is really refreshing, in that case, I will get straight to the point, Brother Ye Lei, for my brother, I have to say sorry to you first. Zhan Zifan said, "When you were in Yangzhou City, Luo Xiong lied to you. ”
"I've guessed that. Ye Lei said, "Brother Zhan, I also hope that you can be honest." ”
"Since that's the case, I won't hide it, in fact, I'm not the helmsman of Jingzhou. When Zhan Zifan said this, his tone paused obviously, "I am one of the inheritors of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. ”
"It turns out that Brother Zhan still has this identity!" Ye Lei was also surprised, he thought that Zhan Zifan's identity might be very special, but he didn't expect that Zhan Zifan was actually one of the descendants of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
"I think you can also understand that as the number one chamber of commerce in the mainland, the competition for this successor is also very fierce. Zhan Zifan said, "My father has a total of seven children, the youngest is my younger sister, and I am the sixth one. ”
"As the youngest son, the competitiveness is already on the low side, so now I have to build up my power as soon as possible, but you also know that it takes more than just financial resources to compete with my older brothers. ”
"So you found me, but I'm just a martial artist of the Innate Golden Pill now, and I can't even see your realm, Brother Zhan, how can you think of me, Brother Zhan?"
"Brother Ye Lei was able to defeat Lin Zhan, who was a mid-level martial artist, in the realm of the Innate Golden Pill, we already know this matter, Brother Ye Lei has unlimited potential, and if I can have the help of Brother Ye Lei, it will definitely be of great help to me. ”
Ye Lei didn't expect that Zhan Zifan would say his purpose so clearly, from Zhan Zifan's eyes, Ye Lei didn't see any deception, that is to say, there are only two possibilities for what Zhan Zifan said to himself, one is that Zhan Zifan's city is extremely deep and cannot be seen from the surface, and the other is that everything Zhan Zifan said is the truth.
"Okay, in that case, I'm willing to help Big Brother Zhan. Ye Lei said, "But Brother Zhan, what does this have to do with the treasure of the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Capital?"
"That's right, back then, my father once sent someone to explore, but this excitement is already the strength of the martial saint level, you know, only martial artists below the martial arts can enter the treasure, this person sent by my father obviously failed, but this person has our Hundred Treasure Pavilion tokens on his body, but after this, no matter how many people we send in, no trace of this person has been found. ”
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. Ye Lei said, "Brother Zhan, please have something to say." ”
"Since that incident, my father has entrusted us with this difficult matter. Zhan Zifan said, "And my father said that if anyone finds the token of this Hundred Treasure Pavilion, he will get the opportunity to cultivate it himself." ”
"It seems that this token should be of great significance to your Hundred Treasure Pavilion, but, after all, this is the treasure left by the Emperor of the Divine Capital, not only our five major sects, but also some other sects are eyeing it, plus your five elder brothers, Brother Zhan really gave me a problem." ”
"My father said that treasure is a matter of luck. Zhan Zifan said, "After such a long time, there are many people who explore the treasure, but there are few people who really get the treasure. ”
"Brother Zhan is so sure that I am the one who has added this luck?" Ye Lei said as he looked at Zhan Zifan.
"Of course I'm not sure. Zhan Zifan looked at Ye Lei, "Even if Brother Ye Lei doesn't get the token of our Hundred Treasure Pavilion, I, Zhan Zifan, will not turn my face because of this, and I will try my best to protect the clansmen of Yejiazhuang." ”
"In this case, Ye Lei will definitely do his best. Ye Lei looked at Zhan Zifan and said, "But Ye Lei really doesn't have much interest in this power struggle, and I ask Brother Zhan to understand." ”
"Everyone has their own ambitions, Brother Ye Lei is obsessed with martial arts, we know this very well, I don't want Brother Ye Lei to participate in our family's private affairs, I just want to make you a friend. ”
Although this person is very deep in the city, what he said has not been concealed in the slightest, and he can be regarded as a bright and frank person. Ye Lei looked at Zhan Zifan and thought, "Since that's the case, I'll make this friend." ”
"Okay, Brother Zhan is so loving, wouldn't Ye Lei not agree to it. Ye Lei looked at Zhan Zifan, "Brother Zhan, you also said just now, I am obsessed with martial arts, and I also asked Brother Zhan for advice." ”
"Haha, Brother Ye Lei is really a martial artist, okay, but let's wait for you to come back. Zhan Zifan looked at Ye Lei, held Ye Lei's hands and said.
"Then it's decided!" Ye Lei clenched his hands and hurriedly put away the note that Zhan Zifan handed him.
