Chapter 12: The Sea Market
In the dark dungeon, the smell of fish came from all around, and on the iron fence, the blood-colored runes shone with a cold light.
Kou Li sat cross-legged in it, with a talisman attached to each of his hands and feet, which seemed to open as soon as it was revealed, but once it was torn off, it would force the aura to reverse and explode to death.
Since he fought with the octopus man, the monk of the island who followed him suppressed the two and locked them up here, and yesterday, the octopus man was brought to interrogate and has not returned.
It's a pity that the flying sword transformed by the Secret Refining Gangfeng Essence Yuan did not completely kill the octopus man, but it did hit the key point, causing it to suffer a lot of demonic energy.
Kou Li didn't worry about his fate, first, it wasn't he who did it first, and second, the octopus man devoured his colleagues and destroyed the watchtower, and everyone testified to it, an ironclad fact.
This is also the reason why he took the two demon captains to question, the sea is vast, revenge and blood hatred are necessary, but you also have to pay attention to the price after killing.
'But I haven't interrogated myself until now, is something wrong?'
Kou Li carefully recalled the process, and after making sure that there were no horses left, he closed his eyes again.
After a long time, there was a sudden sound of the door opening on the top, and then four fat men broke in, "Wuhu, Wuhu, we brought you something to eat?"
Kou Li felt a trace of warmth in his heart, these fat brothers, who came to see him every once in a while, were indeed sincere.
"Wuhu, don't worry, we told the uncle, he will help you back," Dahu comforted.
"Wuhu, you are worthy of being recognized by the fat man, for the sake of takoyaki, even the demon generals on the island dare to kill!" Sanhu's face was full of relief.
"But why didn't you call us, such a big octopus is enough to eat until the New Year," Sihu said dissatisfied.
"Charcoal-grilled octopus, braised octopus feet, spicy fried octopus, fried octopus feet in sauce, five gourds, for us to eat in one bite, you are really hard enough," Erhu's face was full of emotion.
"......" Kou Li's face was full of black lines, did these fat brothers misunderstand something, they didn't do it for stuttering.
"But Wuhu, what is the origin of the octopus monster you beaten, and why did the second master actually protect him?"
Second Master, the second disciple of the island owner, Kou Li frowned, no wonder the trial has not been completed after a day, it turns out that there is someone above.
Thinking of the tragic appearance of the shrimp claw's death, Kou Li's eyes flashed with murderous intent, this life, temporarily put it on its head.
It won't last long!
"A few immortal chiefs, the island lord interrogated Bai Xiaoxian Chief," outside the cell, the guard immortal official said helplessly.
These masters rely on their relationship with Guo Hulu, and they are well-known on the island, and he is not easy to stop.
On the contrary, Kou Li and Dahu glanced at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, when did the island owner get out of the customs?
"Wuhu, remember, don't be everything, no matter what kind of blame, admit it first, and then say, there is my uncle," before leaving, Guo Dahu grabbed Kou Li's shoulder and whispered.
Kou Li nodded earnestly.
Under the leadership of the immortal official, Kou Li walked into the palace in the middle of the island, the palace was very simple, there was no complicated decoration, and when he led to the main hall, in addition to Guo Hulu and Qingni Fairy, there was also a middle-aged man in a black robe, as well as a fish and dragon Taoist sitting in the middle.
Kou Li was hindered by the number of courtesies, so he didn't dare to look at it, and saluted one by one, and then knelt on the futon, his face respectful.
The Ichthyosaurus Daoist didn't seem to interrogate him immediately, but listened to the reports of several immortal officials about the size of his island in retreat.
After a long time, Kou Li's knees were a little numb, and the Ichthyosaurus Dao spoke: "You are the fire boy who fought with the island protector demon general?"
"Yes. ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
Kou Li didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the matter carefully, even about his friendship with Shrimp Claw, which was no secret.
"So, are you seeking revenge for personal gain?" a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"The villain does have the idea of avenging his friend," Kou Li said with a deep bow.
"Hahaha, what the senior brother is asking is, my fanning boy is indeed angry, he should be punished, how should the senior brother be punished, and the younger brother will do it. ”
"Defeat the cultivators, reduce them to slaves, and punish them with hard labor for a hundred years. ”
Guo Hulu let out a trademark haha smile, and did not speak, but it was the Qingni Fairy who snorted coldly, "Senior brother is so majestic, whose fault is it, don't you really understand, what benefits does that octopus essence give you, you protect it like this!"
"Senior sister be cautious, as the head of Qingfeng Island, I have the right to handle the affairs of the door on behalf of the teacher, and besides, this octopus spirit is the son of the offshore demon king, do you offend the demon king for the sake of this slave?"
Qingni Fairy sneered: "Senior brother, you have such a big breath, when the senior brother is here, I don't see you talking like this, that old octopus is lustful, and the heirs are not eight hundred but also one thousand, who still remembers this mongrel, take 10,000 steps back and say, am I afraid of that old octopus in Qingfeng Island." ”
"Senior sister, you're messing around again," the middle-aged man said angrily.
"What's the matter, you don't let people say that you are doing things unfairly?!" Qingni Fairy didn't give in for half a step.
Kou Li listened secretly, but found a peculiar place, whether it was Guo Hulu or Yulongdao, they had no intention of opening, and when it came to lip service, where could a middle-aged man compare to the Qingni Fairy who gave full play to the advantages of women, and besides, he couldn't really suppress the small with the big.
In the end, he was a mess sprayed by the other party's sand and arrows, and the middle-aged man was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Senior sister, I can't bear to fight for the benefits of my tongue, and I have the ability to see the truth in my hands." ”
"Come on, come on, do you think you are a junior brother, you started a hundred years earlier than me, and the golden pill has not yet been completed, such qualifications, you and I are afraid that you will not succeed!"
"Alright. As soon as the old man's voice came out, the two of them stopped talking almost at the same time, but the corners of the Qingni Fairy's mouth mocked, while the middle-aged man was purple-skinned and angry.
"Senior sister, don't talk about some sad things, after all, there are only a few of us left," Guo Hulu blamed the other party instead.
"Humph!"
Kou Li, who has been watching coldly, couldn't help but secretly praise, it turns out that this fat man is a master of palace fighting, although he seems to be standing on a fair standpoint, but every word he says, he is sarcastic to the two senior brothers.
Sure enough, the Fish Dragon Daoist said lightly: "Zhong Chen, apologize to my junior sister, what did you do to my senior brother." ”
The second senior brother Zhong Chen's face changed several times, and finally lowered his head, but his hands were clenched, and he could see that his heart was not calm.
"That octopus spirit made a big mistake, and he couldn't be punished, even if his father came in person, he was demoted to the rank of captain, and he was fined 50,000 catties of sea sand. ”
"As for this little boy—"
Kou Li's heart tightened.
"Master, in the future, I will make him ten times heavier, and he will not be allowed to leave the house for half a step unless necessary," Guo Hulu hurriedly said.
"So be it. ”
Sure enough, the Ichthyosaurus Dao people didn't come out of the customs to deal with Kou Li, and with a wave of their hand, they sent him out.
"The eldest boy is called Zhou Binwen, call him, I have something to tell him. ”
After Kou Li withdrew from the palace, he was in a slightly calmer mood, although the punishment was not light, and he did not strip off the identity of the fire boy in the end.
After a full hour, Zhong Chen, Guo Hulu and Qingni Fairy came out together, Zhong Chen looked angry, glanced at Kou Li coldly, and flew away.
Qingni Fairy was a little excited, and wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she didn't speak, and finally just turned her head and said lightly: "Your sister is about to retreat, you can do things safely in the future, don't let her worry." ”
"The juniors know. Kou Li hurriedly replied.
After the Qingni Fairy left, Guo Hulu put away his smiling expression and motioned for Kou Li to follow him.
"This is a good job, there are no hands and feet, otherwise I would not have protected you. ”
Kou Li opened his mouth and didn't reply, because he really didn't know how to reply.
"In the future, when I go back to the house to concentrate on my work, don't go out of the house casually. ”
"Yes. ”
"If you have any problems with your cultivation in the future, come to me directly, those idiots shouldn't have the patience to teach you. ”
Kou Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew with the other party's words, and the other party finally admitted himself.
......
Two months have passed since this incident, and Kou Li has returned to a peaceful life, collecting medicines, sowing seeds, mining spirit stones, and cultivating.
It is worth mentioning that the original punishment, Guo Hulu seems to have forgotten the general, in addition to alchemy every day, it is to drive a few fat gourd babies to the chickens and dogs, according to the words of Erhu, he has lost almost half a tael.
In the thatched hut, Kou Li was running his true qi according to the mental method of the sixth layer of the "Golden Carp Jue", as if his real body had turned into a golden carp, swimming in the air, vivid, just out of the water, and swimming slower and slower, and the air became heavier and heavier.
And when he contemplated the golden carp with all his heart, it was like jumping into the sea himself, the kind of oppression in all directions, the scales of the three-dimensional watch resurfaced, and this time, most of the scales were covered with a layer of golden light.
The gill of the carp suddenly moved slightly, Kou Li suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and spit out, and a strong wind rolled up on the ground, blowing the gate away in an instant, and there was a 'bang' sound.
"Alas!"
Kou Li was stunned, and hurriedly walked over, only to see Erhu's fat body pressing under the door panel, in the shape of a large character, as if he was knocked into the door when he opened the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Erhu, why are you here?"
Guo Erhu was not angry at all, but his face was full of excitement, and he ran away with Kou Li: "Good thing, Wuhu, great good thing is coming, I can finally leave this broken place where birds don't!"
Kou Li's face was full of question marks.
When I arrived in the front hall, I saw that in addition to the three gourd babies and Guo Hulu, there was also a familiar figure.
"Zhou, senior sister?"
"It turned out to be a little brother!" Zhou Wenbin's eyes lit up, and he exhaled like a lando.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Guo Hulu nodded, "After the war, there was a shortage of materials on the island, so the meaning of the master was that let's use some pills and spirit stones to go to the nearby sea market to replace the supplies, so this Zhou boy will go with you." ”
"Uncle, aren't you going?" Sanhu's face lit up.
"If I go, how can I exercise you," Seeing that the gourd babies had their eyes shining, Fu sneered again: "You don't need too many people to go, Zhou Tongzi, Da Hu, Erhu, and - White Horseshoe Crab!"
