Chapter 61: Moonlight Lake
A three-masted clipper sails up the Mojiang River, stopping along the way to experience the local customs. Soon they came to a lake called Yuezhao Lake, which is the largest lake on the Mojiang River and can regulate the flow of the Mojiang River.
It is less than 500 miles away from the source of the Mohe River, and Xingchen plans to stop and make some preparations, and experience the local customs by the way.
Who knew that as soon as he entered Yuezhao Lake, not long after driving, more than 20 two-zhang ships appeared and surrounded the three-masted clipper. Then a five-zhang ship appeared, and a bearded man with a tattoo of a green dragon on his chest stood on the bow of the ship.
He came to the three-masted clipper before he ordered, "Throw the hook." ”
Xingchen stood in the cab and looked at the group of people who were about to throw the hook and smiled.
Soon, more than 40 iron hooks were thrown at the three-masted clipper, but before they could hook the railing, they hit a transparent wind wall and bounced off directly.
Seeing this, the bearded man became more and more excited, but he didn't expect that the ship they intercepted actually had a defensive formation. This is better, as long as he grabs it, he can expand his sphere of influence beyond the Moonlight Lake in the future.
Just when he was excited, Han Feng led Xiang'er to appear on the deck, quietly staring at the bearded man.
When the bearded man saw Han Feng and Xiang'er appear, he thought that Han Feng was a rich boy, so he immediately waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to lift the three cannons up against the three-masted clipper, and at the same time scolded: "This is artillery, surrender quickly, we only seek money and don't kill you." ”
Han Feng just wanted to fly out of the three-masted clipper to repair the bearded man, but he was held down by a person on the shoulder, and he turned around and saw that it was Xingchen. Xingchen shook his head, "It's not too late for them to really open fire, just the artillery can't break through the Wind Spirit Defense Array." ”
After speaking, Xingchen walked to the railing and said with a smile: "It's impossible to surrender, if you want to open a cannon, you can open a cannon, Young Master Ben wants to see how powerful your artillery is." ”
When the bearded man saw the stars appear, he called himself Young Master Ben, and he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart. The ship in front of him is definitely used by the rich man to play around, and it is really a waste to play with such a good boat. It's just that although he ordered the artillery to be raised, he didn't intend to open fire, he just wanted to scare the two sons. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't seem to care at all, and for a while, he could only drive the ducks to the shelves, order people to load gunpowder and shells, and at the same time order people to raise torches.
Only then did he shout, "Give you ten breaths of time, and after ten breaths, we will open fire." "In the past, this trick was tried and tested, and I hope it will work today.
Ten breaths passed quickly, Xingchen and Han Feng were indifferent, the beard was completely gone, although he was a robber, he had never hurt the robbed, he only had the blood of other robber forces on his hands.
At that moment, there was a sizzling sound, and the bearded man immediately looked to the side, where a cannon fuse had already been ignited, and he immediately slapped the igniting minions into the lake, and at the same time stretched out his feet to kick the cannon into the water.
It's just that it's late, and the shells have already been fired.
At this time, Han Feng rushed out directly, and under the gaze of everyone, he blocked the flying cannonball with one hand, and the pitch-black spherical cannonball exploded directly.
Looking at the smoke and dust of the explosion, the bearded man was stunned, is this rich young master a fool, it is artillery, even with the strength of the bearded acquired realm, he does not dare to take it hard.
And looking at the smoke and dust, Xingchen was not worried, the artillery could not hurt the powerhouses of the Innate Realm at all, let alone Han Feng, but Xiang'er was so frightened that he ran directly to the railing and shouted: "Brother Feng." ”
The smoke and dust dissipated, and Han Feng's figure appeared. Seeing Han Feng floating in the air, the bearded soul was almost frightened, how could it be a powerhouse in the Innate Realm, he was just a teenager.
Xiang'er saw that Han Feng was fine, so she was relieved.
Han Feng summoned the golden dragon spear and scolded: "This is not a troubled time, you are a robber, you should be punished." After saying that, he rushed to the bearded man, wanting to kill the bearded man with one shot.
Looking at the figure getting closer and closer, the bearded man's heart was full of despair, it was true that it was a peaceful and prosperous era at this time, but he was also forced to be helpless, so he embarked on the road of robbers.
Just as the tip of the gun was about to hit the beard, a sharp sword appeared, picking the tip of the gun open, and at the same time, a white-clothed figure appeared in front of the bearded man.
This white-clothed figure was Xingchen, he looked at Han Feng, "Brother Feng, move slowly, ask clearly." ”
Han Feng smiled, "Ask clearly, will the robbers tell the truth?"
Xingchen nodded, "Yes, with me, it will." ”
Han Feng smiled, "What if I insist on killing them?" This is a good opportunity, he has long wanted to compete with Xingchen.
Xingchen didn't want Han Feng to kill innocents by mistake, just now the bearded man didn't want to open fire, he saw it, so he directly used the magic of the Phantom Sound Dao to control the beard.
The bearded man suddenly cried: "In fact, the previous moonlight lake was much more beautiful than the current one, especially on the night of the full moon, there would be moonlight fish, and the lake was full of light at that time, which was very magical." But because of this, many rich sons and even merchants have come, and they have wreaked havoc on the environment here for their own preferences, and even began to catch moonlight fish on full moon nights, and even sent their families to bully good people nearby. I couldn't bear it, so I organized the nearby villagers to become robbers, specializing in robbing the rich sons who came here to play. I also know that if I kill the rich man who plays at will, it will attract the encirclement and suppression of the government, so I have always adhered to the principle of seeking wealth and not killing people. These three guns were bought with that money. The shot just now was really unintentional, and it was my subordinates who misunderstood what I meant. ”
When he finished speaking, Xingchen let go of his grip. The bearded man regained consciousness, and looked at the stars with some horror when he thought of his own words just now.
When Han Feng heard this, he realized that his idea could not be realized, so he quibbled: "Xingchen, this is your intention, who knows if you controlled him." ”
Xingchen didn't speak, and the bearded man had already spoken, "What I said is true." The robber minions chimed in.
Xingchen then said: "Brother Feng, didn't you show off that Xiao Hei can control people's hearts before? Let Xiao Hei come." Xiao Hei won't be with me!"
When Han Feng heard this, he immediately felt panicked, along the way, he did show off Xiao Hei's ability to Xingchen, but he didn't expect that at this time, it was, no matter what, he thought about Xiao Hei who was lazy and sleeping, no longer insisted, and sighed, "Alas! and believe you, it's really difficult to fight with you." ”
These words finally let Xingchen know why Han Feng heard the bearded man's defense, and insisted on killing the bearded man's party, it turned out that it was just to fight with him. Also, Han Feng was not a murderous person, and he had long wanted to fight him. In the future, if you have a chance to talk about it, if you are injured by mistake in a fight now, it will not cheapen the team of the Holy Gate Country.
So, Xingchen and Han Feng followed the bearded man to the robber's lair, a big mansion by the lake. This is the home of the bearded. After coming here, the bearded man introduced himself: "Two young masters, my family is originally a small family here, because it is close to Yuezhao Lake, so I take the moon as my surname, my name is Yuexing, and I am the line of action." As he spoke, he took off the beard from his mouth, and at the same time pulled out a tattooed pigskin from his chest, and then took two things and smiled: "This is my outfit, used to bluff people." My original face is really not suitable for robbery. After the bearded Ziyue Xing removed those two things, Xingchen found out that the other party was a national character face, which looked upright, and it was indeed not suitable to be a bandit leader.
Under the leadership of the bearded Yuexing, Xingchen and his party entered the house, only to find that there was a square in the courtyard, and a towering tree was planted in the middle of the square to block the sun. Many elderly people were boxing in the square, playing chess, or chatting. Some young women are taking care of the elderly.
As soon as Yuexing came in, he introduced: "They are elderly people in the neighborhood and can't live on their own, so I took them over to take care of them." The one who takes care of them is basically my minions' daughter-in-law. ”
When Xingchen saw these old people, he probed them with his phantom sound thoughts, and found that the happy expressions on the faces of these old people were real. It seems that this robber Tou Touyue Xing really takes care of them, but he has to provide for so many old people, and the burden is not light.
Yuexing greeted the old people warmly, and the old people responded enthusiastically. But when he saw Xingchen and Han Feng, especially the clothes on their bodies, he looked bored.
Yuexing led Xingchen and his party through the square and explained: "They have basically been bullied by the rich sons who came to play, don't worry about the two." ”
Soon they walked through the square, through the double courtyard, and into a lobby. There was already a banquet set up there. Yue Xing led Xingchen and Han Feng to sit down, this was the reception wine that was set up for them.
During the banquet, Yuexing suddenly left his seat and knelt on one knee, "Please also ask the two of you to stay together to protect Yuezhao Lake, Yuexing is willing to give up the position of leader." ”
Xingchen smiled, "My brother Feng is the hall master of the Phantom Cloud Hall, and he doesn't want to be the leader of the robbers yet, as for me, I have no interest in robbing houses." ”
Isn't the Phantom Cloud Hall the force that caused a sensation not long ago? Yue Xing didn't get up, he looked at Han Feng, "My subordinates are willing to join the Phantom Cloud Hall, I hope that the Phantom Cloud Hall can protect the Yuezhao Lake." ”
Han Feng shook his head, "My Phantom Cloud Hall can't manage that far, you better ask for the stars, he has the most ideas." As he spoke, he threw the pot to the stars.
Yuexing immediately looked at the stars.
Xingchen glanced at Han Feng and smiled helplessly, "You get up, I have my own plans." ”
Hearing Xingchen's words, Yue Xinghu was suspicious, and Han Feng was suspicious. What is the plan?
Three days later, a small fleet of ten ships came, including a nine-masted ship, three six-masted medium ships, and six three-masted fast ships, which stopped on the Mojiang River, downstream of Yuezhao Lake, and a large number of craftsmen disembarked from the boats and began to build. At the same time, a person wearing the official uniform of the imperial court appeared and announced the establishment of the Yuezhao Lake Water Division Detachment, and appointed the Yuezhao Lake Water Division General to take charge of the Yuezhao Lake Water Division Detachment. At the same time, he sent the cultivation techniques of the sailor, as well as special spiritual materials, as well as the general's armor and weapons.
If Yue Xing cultivates according to this exercise, coupled with the assistance of special spiritual materials, he will definitely be able to advance to the innate level. But there is no further progress in cultivation. Because this exercise is combined with that spiritual material, people who have no hope of being innate will be squeezed their own potential by the extreme, and they will advance to the innate level.
Despite this, many people are scrambling for this thing. But this technique and spiritual materials are basically only available in the army, and if you want to obtain them, one is to join the army and become a general, and the other is to buy them from the black market for a lot of money.
But no matter which way, when you get the exercises, you will be forced to make a heavenly oath to ensure that the exercises will not be passed on, even if you search for souls, you will not be able to find them.
Yue Xing did not hesitate, directly made a heavenly oath, and accepted the special spiritual material. After a day of retreat, he became the lowest Innate Realm powerhouse.
In one day's time, a naval barracks was built, and the fleet left a six-masted midship and three three-masted clippers here.
Now, with the cultivation of the Innate Realm of the Moon Travel, as well as the name of the Sailor, there are still four ships that are enough to protect the Moon Lake.
When Yuexing heard that Xingchen was leaving for the desert, he immediately sent one of his men to the desert with a letter from home.
In the end, Yuexing still couldn't leave Xingchen and his party, so he could only watch them leave.
On the waterway out, Han Feng found Xingchen and asked, "Xingchen, even if a water division is established there, it will not be enough to deter all forces. ”
Xingchen smiled, "Except for you, no civilian forces dare to confront the army. As for the official small forces, they will not provoke them, and the middle forces can find out that the Yuezhao Lake Water Division detachment is the strength of Prince Xian. The big forces, like the crown prince, disdained to deal with such a detachment of sailors. ”
Han Feng immediately realized, "It turned out to be Prince Xian, no wonder, if you really have you, you can quietly contact him to help." You're right, alas, I've lived for more than 30 years in vain, and I'm not as smart as you. ”
Xingchen stared at Han Feng, "More than thirty years?"
Han Feng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately laughed, "Xingchen, you heard it wrong, it's more than ten years, more than ten years. Oops, I forgot, it's Xiang'er's martial arts training time, I'm going to find her, but I can't let her be as lazy as Xiao Hei. After saying that, he ran into the shipyard like a runaway.
Xingchen looked at Han Feng's disappearing figure, smiled slightly, and then turned to look at the direction of the three-masted clipper, where he could already see a mountain range, layers of mountains, which was the birthplace of the Mohe River.
Villages are rarely seen along the way, and there are no lakes near the river. They soon came to the foot of the mountain, and the road ahead could not be sailed, so Xingchen and his party had to disembark and come to the shore. Han Feng was not reluctant to give up the three-masted clipper, and directly put it into the storage ring.
They walked along the avenue next to the Mojiang River towards the desert, and along the way, a few young masters of the family who rode by and led the team sneered at Xingchen and Han Feng, and they didn't even have a horse, walking on the avenue.
Han Feng was angry, he looked at Xingchen, "Xingchen, come and I will carve some wooden horses, and you will turn them into live horses." ”
Xingchen shook his head and said, "My doppelganger was taken away by the gatekeepers, and I can't do it now." ”
Hearing this, Han Feng sighed, and their group did not take the horse.
Xingchen saw Han Feng sigh and said with a smile, "I have a way, I can hurry up, it's just a bit troublesome." ”
Han Feng immediately grabbed Xingchen's shoulder and urged, "If there is a way, just do it." ”
Then, a cloud appeared in the sky and quickly headed towards the desert.
At this time, in the clouds, Han Feng looked at the sword shadows that made up the clouds and was a little frightened, this number and sharpness were simply amazing, and he began to think about the moves to deal with these sword shadows in his heart.
And the accompanying subordinates, including Murong Bo, expressed surprise at this. They looked at the flying land under their feet, and the desert that was getting closer and closer, and their hearts were extremely happy, is this the feeling of flying in the innate realm, it is really magical.
And Xiang'er was holding Han Feng's hand, she was wondering if her brother Feng also had such a move. So he quietly asked, "Brother Feng, can you also lead people and fly smoothly like this?"
Of course Han Feng would, but it was the imperial weapon technique attached to the flying sword technique, but once it was displayed, the judgment would be made. He was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Xiang'er's eyes full of hope, he suddenly remembered that when Xingchen gave him the flying sword technique, he did not prohibit him from passing it on, so he immediately smiled and said, "Of course you can, and I can also teach you." ”
At this time, he felt Xingchen's gaze and immediately added, "To study, you need to make a heavenly oath. ”
Xiang'er immediately shouted loudly: "I want to learn, what tricks, can I take a look?" Everyone looked over for a while, Xiao Hei, who was sleeping with his belly exposed, looked up and opened his eyes, and fell asleep again. Even Han Feng didn't know why Xiao Hei had been so snooze-free recently?
Urged by Xiang'er, Han Feng smiled: "I'll stop later, and then I'll take you to experience the experience." ”
Not long after Han Feng's words fell, the clouds slowly landed in front of a Shamen Inn and quickly disappeared.
Xingchen's energy was consumed a lot, and he planned to stay here for one night to regain his energy, so he ordered Murong Bo to book a room.
Murong Bo immediately took two people into the hall of the inn and talked to the shopkeeper to book a room.
Han Feng saw that Xingchen was going to stay here to rest for one night, so he directly used the Imperial Weapon Technique to enlarge the Golden Dragon Spear, and then flew into the sky with an excited Xiang'er.
After Han Feng left, a young man dressed in gray clothes with a knife hanging from his waist walked up with a subordinate and arched his hand: "Presumably, you are Young Master Xingchen, I am Yuedong, the action of Xing, Yuexing's own brother, my brother sent someone to send a letter from home, let me be your desert guide." I know that you have a great kindness to our Yue family, so I have prepared all the items for entering the desert at my own expense, and I am waiting for you to enter the desert. ”
Xingchen looked at Yuedong's subordinates, he had seen this subordinate before, originally a robber on the twenty or so boats, and now a small soldier in the Yuezhao Lake Water Division detachment. It seemed that the person in front of him was really Yuexing's younger brother, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, then I might as well be respectful." As for the cost of buying supplies, you will definitely not accept the money. As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a spirit weapon treasure knife appeared in Xingchen's hand, which was one of his trophies on Sea Fire Island, and it was useless to keep it. Xingchen reached out and handed the sword out.
Yue Dong looked at the treasure knife in Xingchen's hand, and was very excited in his heart, this is a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and it can be collected into the treasure of the dantian. On the Phantom Star, only ordinary innate powerhouses can use spiritual weapons, and the iron knife hanging from his waist is nothing more than a mortal weapon. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't take his eyes off the sword.
Xingchen also saw the struggle in Yuedong's heart, and threw the sword directly at Yuedong's chest.
Yue Dong immediately caught it with both hands, and after stroking it for a while, he immediately knelt on one knee, "Thank you Young Master Xingchen for the knife, Yue Dong will do his best to do a good job as a guide, I will go down immediately to make more preparations." With that, he entered the inn. Disappear.
Xingchen didn't say anything, and led the group into the inn hall. There, Murong Bo had already led Xiao Er to wait there.
This inn does not have a separate courtyard, so Murong Bo has chartered a small building. Under the guidance of Xiao Er, Xingchen and his party walked through the lobby and came to the courtyard of the inn, where the scene in front of them was like a street, where more than forty small buildings were lined up on both sides of the road. The first floor of each small building is basically a small shop selling things.
One of them, Yuedong was talking to a salesman in a small shop, and when he saw the stars, he immediately nodded slightly.
Xingchen also nodded with the movement of the moon, and then followed Xiao Er to a small building. This small building has four floors, the first floor is a restaurant, the second and third floors are all large rooms, and the fourth floor has a total of four rooms.
While settling into his accommodation, Xingchen was in a room on the fourth floor when he closed his eyes and recuperated when he was suddenly alarmed by the noise downstairs.
