Chapter 515: The Mouth of the Stormy River (3)

Most of the maids who worked in this Heavenly Tower were ordinary mortals or low-level female cultivators. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Twenty years ago, there was a mortal girl whose appearance could only be regarded as average among many maids, but one day a monk in the early stage of the Xuanrong Realm was mercilessly rejected by a peerless Fusion Realm, and when he was frustrated and depressed, the maid saw him pitiful and took the initiative to come forward to comfort him.

Unexpectedly, this monk of the Xuanrong Realm would be grateful for this, and finally accepted this mortal girl as a concubine. In the early stage of the Xuanrong Realm, he was already the best among the monks, but in a place like Zhengtianlou, it would not be so dazzling.

And this monk became a desperate situation three years later, and became famous for a while, and even the identity of the maid also rose, and the family ascended to heaven!

Moreover, for a mortal girl, even if she won the favor of an early stage monk of the Xuanqi Realm, it was a matter of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, which was far better than being a maid here.

So since then, among these maids in Zhengtianlou, there have been many more caring people, and the one in front of Chen Zhining is obviously one of them.

She had been secretly waiting for an opportunity for a long time, and today she finally met one.

She believed in her own vision, this person was so young, and he didn't look like he was short of money, he must not be in the pool.

And she is also very confident in herself, in addition to her appearance, she feels that she understands people's hearts better, as long as she has a relationship, this young monk will not be able to escape her gentle trap.

But Chen Zhining just glanced at her, took a sip of Zhenyi Brew, frowned, returned the wine glass to her, and shook his head lightly: "No need, I'll see for myself." ”

The monk's indifference, the attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, through the powerful strength and bearing, was invisibly released, making the maid tense, and couldn't help but take a step back and dare not disturb again.

It wasn't until Chen Zhining walked far away that she suddenly came back to her senses, and she was surprised in her heart: It failed?

She carefully recalled Chen Zhining's expression just now, and couldn't help but look at the wine glass in her hand: he frowned when he drank, could it be that he disliked this wine? Impossible, this is a three-hundred-year-old true brew!

No matter how generous Zhengtianlou is, it is impossible for the true brew provided for free to be 300 years, only 50 years old. This cup was secretly hidden by the maid at the banquet where the landlord entertained several desperate overhauls at a time, just to catch the golden beetle.

When I saw Chen Zhining today, I quietly took it out and got ready.

In her opinion, this is already a very good wine. But Chen Zhining really dislikes it, he drinks it for 600 years or 800 years, and as soon as he eats it for 300 years, he feels scum. If it weren't for politeness, he spit it out.

But this is not the reason why he did not accept the maid's "kindness", but that he really has no feelings for this girl.

The girls around him are better than the other, not only in terms of appearance and figure, but also in terms of temperament, the monk has an advantage that mortals can never match, so although the maid is beautiful, in Chen Zhining's eyes, it is really too ordinary. Besides, Chen Zhining had other plans in his heart, so he naturally didn't want people to follow.

At this time, the maid looked at Chen Zhining's back in astonishment: He actually felt bad about such a precious true intention? and frowned? He, how precious is the wine he usually hates? What is the identity of this person!

The maid was extremely annoyed, and a huge golden beetle son-in-law had obviously left her.

"Alas. She sighed secretly, carefully put away the remaining half cup of three hundred years of true meaning brew that Chen Zhining had drunk, and waited for the next unlucky golden beetle son-in-law.

For the maid, this matter is a mistake that determines the fate of her life, and for Chen Zhining...... It's just "tricked" into drinking a sip of bad wine. He quickly forgot about it and moved on to another box.

A few people were queuing up at the door of this box, and Chen Zhining stepped forward and asked politely: "This senior brother, what kind of partner do you need for the overhaul inside?"

The last monk in the queue was also in the late stage of the Xuanzhao Realm, and said lightly: "As long as it is the Xuanzhao Realm, Lord Zhou needs nearly a hundred monks this time, so the requirements for the realm are not so strict." ”

"So many people?" Chen Zhining was also surprised.

One of the monks in front of him turned around and said, "There are many people and little money, but it's worth it to be on the same team as Lord Zhou." This time I left a good impression on Lord Zhou, and I might give you a boost next time. ”

Chen Zhining suddenly said, it seems that this Zhou University has a good reputation.

At this moment, the door of the box opened, and five monks with happy faces came out of it, cultivating from the Xuanqi Realm to the Xuanzhao Realm.

And a voice came from the box: "Come in." ”

Chen Zhining thought about it and followed in.

There were three old men sitting in the box, and one in the center was in good spirits, with black hair, but there were many wrinkles on his face. Chen Zhining glanced at it, this must be "Lord Zhou", he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Absolute Light Realm, which is comparable to his own true realm.

On the left hand side of Lord Zhou is a short early stage of the Absolute Light Realm, and on the right side is an old woman, who is also in the early stage of the Absolute Light Realm.

The three desperate overhauls can usually team up alone, but this time they joined forces to recruit people, and one move is a hundred monks, it seems that the plot is not small, and Chen Zhining's curiosity has also been hooked.

"I've seen Lord Zhou, Lord Lin, and Lord Wang. The monk in front bowed and saluted, and Chen Zhining also followed the general trend.

The old man in the middle smiled: "You're welcome, old man Zhou Zonglin, this time the old man took the lead, everyone gave face, and the old man was very grateful." ”

As he spoke, he bowed his hand politely.

But the old man surnamed Lin on his left said coldly: "Brother Zhou is embarrassed to speak, but the old man is not so easy-going. You see, we choose partners who can fight side by side, not lag behind. ”

As he spoke, his eyes swept sharply over everyone, especially Chen Zhining, who was standing at the end, the cultivation in the late stage of the Xuanzhao Realm, in the entire Zhengtian Tower, belonged to the lower average.

"If it weren't for the lack of manpower, the low-level below the Xuanrong Realm wouldn't have had a chance at all. He said sternly, "So you have to understand that this is your chance. When you get on the boat and enter the Stygian Sea Killing Domain, you must take the lead bravely and don't become a drag on the whole team!

If something goes wrong, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"

In front of Chen Zhining, the Xuanzhao Realm who had just talked to him was drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly nodded: "The juniors understand, senior Lin can rest assured, the juniors will definitely cherish this opportunity." ”

Chen Zhining was completely insensitive, still standing so salty and not opening his mouth to guarantee.

The old man surnamed Lin was furious, but was gently held down by Zhou Zonglin: "Brother Lin dissipates his anger." Time is pressing, manpower is insufficient, so don't make any extraneous branches. ”

"Hmph!" The old man surnamed Lin glared at Chen Zhining again and snorted heavily.

Zhou Zonglin signaled, and the old woman surnamed Wang raised her hand and took out a few jade talismans, one for each of them, and she said: "Early tomorrow morning, take this jade talisman to gather outside the building." This trip is dangerous, so you should be more prepared. Alright, let's all get out. ”

......

Coming out of the box, Chen Zhining quietly grabbed the Xuanzhao Realm in front of him and asked, "Senior brother, what task does Lord Zhou want to perform?"

The old man surnamed Lin was obviously dissatisfied with him, Chen Zhining was not very willing to join this team, and hesitated to throw away the jade talisman and then find another team.

"This matter is not a secret, it has already spread in the Zhengtian Tower. The monk said, "A few days ago, a noble man found Lord Zhou and gave him a treasure map, asking Lord Zhou to recruit people to explore an ancient water mansion on the treasure map. ”

"Ancient Water Mansion?" Chen Zhining said secretly: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"That's right, the 'Shattered Star Sea' in the Stygian Sea Killing Domain, the biggest feature of that sea area is that there are many islands of all sizes, as many as stars in the sky.

And that treasure map came out of nowhere, and it is not exhaustive, but it only gives a general area, and within that area, there are hundreds of islands, to say the least. Each island could be the entrance to the waterhouse, so each island would need to be searched carefully by the monks.

The hydrology around the Shattered Star Sea is complex, and only about ten days before and after this period of time will the islands be exposed to the surface of the water every year. Once this period has passed, ninety percent of the islands are sunk under water, and they can't be searched at all - you know, even if it's a desperate overhaul, they don't dare to dive into the Stygian Sea for a long time, and it is definitely a world of fierce beasts in the water. ”

Chen Zhining understood, the time is short, there are many places to search, and a hundred monks listen to a lot, but in fact, it is not enough.

And when he heard the name Shattered Star Sea, he was already secretly scolding: It's really such a coincidence!

Ao Yuan's water mansion is in that sea area. Now, if he doesn't go, he has to go.

For hundreds of thousands of years, Ao Yuan's Water Mansion has not been exposed, but I didn't expect that when I came to look for it, someone would also come to open the Water Mansion. Chen Zhining couldn't help but wonder: Is there something behind this that he doesn't know?

"Could it be that old guy Ao Yuan?" he muttered, deciding to keep a low profile and observe the situation secretly.

......

Early the next morning, Chen Zhining settled the room fee and came to Zhengtianlou on time. More than 100 monks have gathered here. The cultivation in the later stage of the Xuanzhao Realm can be regarded as a strong person in the Qi family's old shop and Baiyun Inn, but here, it is really just a group of people with lower strength.

Among the hundred monks, more than ten of them were at the peak of the Xuanrong Realm, and everyone was expected to be in a desperate situation! They automatically gathered together and formed a small circle, and when they faced the monks of the lower realm, their expressions were cold and arrogant.

The topics they were talking about, other people couldn't interject, they were all high-level magic weapons and elixir formations, which were worth thousands of third-order spirit jades at every turn, and there was a feeling of spending money like dirt, which made the other monks ashamed of themselves and didn't dare to come close.
