Chapter 16: The Proud Son of the East China Sea (1)

The beautiful son of the East China Sea

Flowers bloom and fall, cold comes and goes, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Penglai in the East China Sea, the mountains are splendid, the peaks are high and the mountains are connected with the clouds and mist, it looks like the beautiful jade is exquisitely clear from afar, the strange rocks of the mountains are craggy, the apes are frolicking and the peaks are full of clouds and mist, and the wild cranes are heard to roar when they are heard. The mountains are full of strange grasses and flowers, fragrant and fragrant, and there are traces of elk all over the field, and they are vigorous and healthy.

And the Wenshi faction stands in a corner of Penglai, the palace is magnificent and magnificent, there are nine palaces, nine halls, eighteen halls, twenty-four floors are connected by four pavilions and thirteen bridges, the Dan wall is green tile, the eight directions are exquisite, the forest and mountains surround, such as in the painting, it is really a fairyland on earth.

At this time, off the coast of Penglai, there is a warship floating on the turbulent water, the sergeants on both sides of the deck are in bright armor, full of energy, and the flags are waving in the wind, like colorful auspicious clouds, bright and dazzling.

The ships berthed at the wharf of the Wenshi faction, and the army was well-disciplined and landed in an orderly manner.

I saw that the military general was wearing a phoenix-winged silver helmet, wearing a chain mail like autumn frost, his face was like a full moon, and his beard was like a halberd, and he was mighty.

Afraid of disturbing the immortals, the leader of the military general only took four followers up the mountain.

Soon the group came to the front of the mountain gate, and saw the three big characters of "Jie Jian Cliff" carved on the stone wall, and everyone untied the sword to show their respect, and entered empty-handed. The leader of the generals was respectful and polite to the gatekeeper, and said with his fists clenched: "Brother Annoying Dao informs that Sailor Li Yuanyang has something important to visit the head of Shangguan." ”

The disciple of the Mountain Gate saw that the other party's formation was extraordinary but his attitude was respectful, and he did not seem to be an uninvited guest, "General, please wait for a while, and then please come in after the announcement of the master." After speaking, he ran into the door with a slightly flustered pace.

Li Yuanyang waited here to have the slightest leisure to watch Penglai Wonderland, and couldn't help muttering: "Penglai Wenshi, Kunlun Shaoyang, is the world's Taoist Taishan Beidou, this time for the first time to enter Penglai, the scenery here is beautiful and extraordinary, it is the blessed land where the world's aura gathers, it is a good place to cultivate in the world, and the spirit of the earth must be excellent, and now looking at the East China Sea, maybe only Wen Shi has the ability to ......"

At this time, the doorman just returned, and put out a welcoming palm, "General Li has been waiting for a long time, the head of the door is invited." ”

"There is a legend from Laotong. Li Yuanyang clenched his fists in thanks, followed the doorman and entered the door upright and cautiously.

Soon he had come to the main hall of the Wenshi faction, the "Hall of Morality".

The solemn and magnificent scene of the palace, Li Yuanyang saw that the person sitting in the center of the hall looked nearly sixty years old, with a fishtail golden crown in his hair, wearing a pale yellow gossip coat, with big sleeves facing the wind, his eyes were shining, as deep as the vast interstellar, abyss and mountains, his expression was like an ancient well, and it was difficult for him to be moved in the slightest when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, which was an extraordinary bearing that only a person at the peak could have.

"Li Yuanyang, the deputy general of the naval division, see the head of Shangguan. Li Yuanyang pushed to the end, he had always been accustomed to seeing big scenes, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in front of the person who was closest to the peak of the Dao in the world.

Shangguan Tianyu also felt strange, the Wen Shi faction and the sailor have nothing to do with it, today the other party came to the door with such pomp, I don't know why, but seeing that the person who came was bare-handed, there was no half hostility when he arrived at home, and he couldn't guess the other party's intention for a while, so he said in a tentative tone: "The general doesn't have to be polite, Wen Shi is a land of mountains and wilderness, and the general is here to make the Yu faction shine." ”

Li Yuanyang is a straightforward person, and he knows that a character like Shangguan Tianyu doesn't need flattery and roundabouts, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you can't hide it, Li Mou came to ask your faction for something this time." ”

"I don't know what bothers the general?" Shangguan Tianyu saw the other party's solemn expression, and it seemed that the seriousness of the situation was imminent.

"Overseas Dongbao countries have always been good friends with our Great Jin, and every April they will pay tribute to our dynasty a large number of priceless treasures to consolidate the friendship between the countries. Unexpectedly, this year's tribute ships of the Dongbao Kingdom were plundered by people and belongings in our strait, and the rebels were even more brutally slaughtered, and the corpses of hundreds of Baoguo soldiers floated on the sea, and the scene was shocking and outrageous. Although several months have passed, Li Yuanyang still looks indignant when he talks about it.

"Is there such a thing? I don't know which way of bandits are so rampant?" Shangguan Tianyu thought a little when he heard this.

"When the thieves hijacked the ship and fled, they happened to meet the patrol soldiers of our division, and the two sides confronted each other head-to-head on the sea, but at that time, our army was lonely and weak, and there were many masters among the bandits, so the battle was lost, our army suffered heavy casualties, and there were also many small soldiers who were captured, and the sergeants who fled back to the camp could see clearly, it was the people and horses of the Xuanwu Hall and the Black Dragon Hall of the Sea Dragon Gang who hijacked the ship - the Sea Dragon Gang has been in the East China Sea for nearly a hundred years, and has always been engaged in shipping and dock business, and I heard that the gang leader Murong Yuan miraculously obtained the secret treasure of spiritual cultivation "Yinglong Treasure Book" in his early years In recent years, the Sea Dragon Gang has continued to expand its power to annex the remaining three major gangs in the East China Sea, as if it has become the 'Overlord of the East China Sea', and now he allows his subordinates to commit wanton murder, and frantically occupy, burn, and loot various places and islands in the East China Sea, making the entire East China Sea panic. However, his Sea Dragon Gang is full of talents, and our dynasty does not raise the water division, and the strength of our division is limited. Three days ago, the court issued a decree to rescue the captured envoys of Dongbao Kingdom and recapture the tribute within a half-month period, Li knew that he was incompetent, and now he looked at the East China Sea to subdue the Sea Dragon Gang's non-Wen Shi faction, so Li had the courage to ask the head of Shangguan to help fight against the Sea Dragon Gang. Li Yuanyang said the ins and outs of the matter in one breath, without the slightest pause in between, proving that he had been thinking about these words for a long time.

"Causing today's situation, Wen Shi also has negligence, I didn't expect the current gang leader of the Sea Dragon Gang to act so rampantly, my Wen Shi faction can no longer sit idly by, General Li, please rest assured, I will devote my own strength to help the sailors get rid of this big trouble in the East China Sea." "The Wen Shi faction has always been committed to maintaining peace in the East China Sea, because the previous gang leader of the Sea Dragon Gang was benevolent and heroic and had a friendship with Wen Shibo, and in recent years, he has not heard of any major mistakes in the Sea Dragon Gang, so he has been tolerant and indulgent, and did not expect that it would cause today's evil consequences, Shangguan Tianyu felt that the Wen Shi faction was also duty-bound, and decided to take action to get rid of it.

"Shangguan is in charge of benevolence and righteousness, and takes the common people in the world as his own responsibility, and the people of the East China Sea on behalf of Li thank the master. "Li Yuanyang is a good official, always cares about the people, and when it comes to emotion, he kneels down and bows to thank him.

Seeing this, Shangguan Tianyu raised his palm upward, and an invisible force supported Li Yuanyang's tiger body, no matter how lucky he was, he couldn't kneel. Li Yuanyang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he was the fifth stage of the Holy Spirit, and he was one of the best masters among the sailors, but he didn't expect that he would do his best, and even if he couldn't get the other party's support out of thin air, this skill of the Heavenly Weapon was simply shocking, and he secretly thought in his heart: "With the help of this master who can be called the number one master in the world, the extermination of the Sea Dragon Gang is just around the corner." ”

"The general has won the award, and the removal of the demon is within the responsibility of those who have learned the Tao, so why do you need to say thank you. Shangguan Tianyu saw that Li Yuanyang gave up kneeling and withdrew the spell, he was the master of Wenshi's sect, and he had always acted cautiously, and wanted to further understand the water master's method of suppressing bandits, "I don't know what the general's good plan is for the matter of fighting thieves?"

Li Yuanyang has a rough appearance but a careful and thoughtful mind, "It is not difficult for Hewen Shi and the power of the sailor to destroy the Sea Dragon Gang, but now the Sea Dragon Gang is huge, and the masters are like clouds, if it is really hard, the two sides will inevitably have each other's deaths and injuries." If they are provoked, they will kill hostages and destroy tributes at any time, which will not only incur the wrath of the government and the public, but if the envoys of the Toho Kingdom are killed in our country, it will seriously affect the friendly relations between the two countries, and it may deteriorate to the point that the cruel situation of fighting each other will deteriorate. ”

"What the general said is very true, now is the first thing to rescue the captured people of the treasure country. Shangguan Tianyu nodded and muttered.

At the moment, Li Yuanyang gushed about his long-planned strategy, Shangguan Tianyu said the loopholes, and the two of them shared the same hatred of the enemy, and discussed the way to break the enemy and win in the long run......

In recent years, the disciples of the weft generation have been active in the rivers and lakes, and the heroic deeds have also broken through the reputation of the Seven Heroes. Nowadays, when people in the rivers and lakes talk about the Wenshi School, they all talk about the Seven Heroes and the Five Saints. Among them, the five saints are: Tianyu, Tianshu, Tianlong, Tianlu, and Tianyuan, and this Tianshu is the immortal in the book of the five scattered immortals of Qimen. The seven heroes are: the great hero Weien, the second hero Weide, the third hero Weikong, the fourth hero Weiwen, the fifth hero Weigang, the sixth hero Weizheng, and the seven heroes are Shangguan Rui. In fact, Shangguan Rui belongs to the Dizi generation according to his seniority, but because his unique cultivation talent and strength have long surpassed those of his peers, he has been exceptionally promoted to the weft generation.

A few days later.

It is in Huiji, Mao County, an important trade place in the East China Sea. This day happens to be the Zhongyuan Festival in July.

Twilight.

Today, the business of the Linhai Tavern seems to be particularly depressed, and there are only three tables of guests in the huge venue, but it is no wonder that because of the Midyear Festival, most of the people stay at home and rarely go out. On the table by the window of the tavern sat two middle-aged men with extraordinary bearing, both of them in their forties, although they deliberately concealed it, but their gestures showed the four words of grandeur and grandeur. These two people are the three heroes of the Seven Heroes of Wenshi, Weikong and the fourth hero, Weiwen.

At this time, a fat and short man at the middle table was gesturing, foaming at the mouth and saying to the tall and thin man at the same table: "Brother, do you know which amazing person the city lord has invited to participate in this Poseidon Memorial Conference?"

The thin man leaned sideways for fear of being sprayed by the other party's saliva, "What's so strange about this, everyone knows that the city lord invited the young gang leader of the Sea Dragon Gang to preside over the ceremony, this is also a helpless thing, now the Sea Dragon Gang is the overlord of the East China Sea, and this is already the territory of the Sea Dragon Gang, if you don't invite them to be the masters, you won't give them face, and the city lord and even our trade county don't want to have a good life." The thin man's voice was cautiously suppressed when he said the last words.

The fat man shook his head, a little mysterious in his smugness, "I'm talking about someone else." ”

"Who the hell is it, don't sell it anymore, hurry up and hear it. Seeing the fat man's expression, the thin man seemed to have a real anecdote, and he also began to talk to the people who were interested.

"Dig out your ears and listen, the city lord also invited Shangguan Rui, the most outstanding disciple of the young generation of the famous Wenshi faction who is famous in the East China Sea and is now known as the Seven Heroes of Wenshi, to participate in the celebration. The fat man could not hide the excitement in his heart when he spoke, and the foam of his mouth shot out like a fountain.

"You, are you talking about the grandson of Shangguan Tianyu, the head of Wenshi, the proud son of Shangguan Rui in the East China Sea who is said to have stepped into the realm of the Holy Spirit at the age of thirteen!"

The three heroes Weikong in the window position were also shocked, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Rui's coming to Maoxian would be known by others so quickly, which would be quite unfavorable to our action this time." He spoke in such a subtle voice that only his lips moved.

The four heroes heard it clearly, and responded in the same soft voice, "Senior brother, don't panic, the people of the Sea Dragon Gang absolutely don't know about my Wenshi faction joining hands with the water master, even if they know that Senior Brother Rui will come, they will not take strict precautions." But the strange thing is that only General Li, the head of the sect, and our Seven Heroes know about Senior Brother Rui's coming to Mao County, how can the others know? I heard that person just now said that the city lord invited me to come, but I have never heard Senior Brother Rui mention it?"

"In this case, there is something else going on. Weikong said a little dazed.

"Let's wait and see. The two looked at each other and nodded.

A young woman at the next table heard the fat man's words, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and asked earnestly, "Uncle, are you serious?

"It's true, I have a friend who works in the City Lord's Mansion, he saw it with his own eyes yesterday, Shangguan Shaoxia has been a guest in the City Lord's Mansion, this matter will never be fake, if you want to see the demeanor of this proud son of the East China Sea, you can go to the Festival Square tonight, I heard that he and the City Lord will go there tonight. ”

When the girl heard this, her eyes shone strangely, and her heart seemed to have flown to the square, "Great, great, over the years in the East China Sea, Shangguan Rui's deeds have been recited like a myth, unfortunately I have never seen him, I didn't expect to be able to see his true face of Lushan with my own eyes this time, it is really worth this trip." ”

At the same table with the girl was a young man with a knife with a pair of eyes, a heroic and handsome appearance, he stepped forward and took the girl's hand, only to see that the two hands held together were as slender as green onions, as white as mutton fat, and the young man whispered: "Most of the legends on the rivers and lakes of my cousin are exaggerated, and that Shangguan Rui is just a little bit of his ancestors, maybe he is not as great as you think." You are so startled, shouting and screaming, it's not a shame, let's go quickly. ”

The two settled the account with the shopkeeper and left in a hurry.

Wei Kong by the window couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, "Senior Brother Rui has been in the Wenshi Sect for half a month and hasn't left for half a step, what do you say I have seen it with my own eyes in the City Lord's Mansion, hmph, I want to go to the Festival Square tonight to touch something, and I will meet this 'Shangguan Rui'." ”

Wei Wen pondered: "Senior Brother Rui has indeed been in the Wenshi Sect, could it be said that there are despicable and shameless people pretending to be his identity? ”

The two of them also hastily finished their wine and dinner and left the tavern.
