Chapter 40: The Quartet
Quietly, the ship passed through several high mountains. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The moon was so clear that it illuminated the scene on the deck.
After "teasing" Shiyun, Tuoba Yu didn't waste any more time on him, her face was heavy, these black-clothed people had a clear goal of action, and they obviously came with a plan, but she had made all the preparations for going to the Holy Land this time, and no one else would know her whereabouts.
Tuoba Yu frowned, she gestured, and Jiechen lifted the scarves of these black shadow people and examined them one by one.
After a while, there was nothing to be found, and these men in black had nothing but a scimitar.
Just when Tuoba Yu was at a loss, Shi Yun's eyes moved slightly to the side of a certain man in black, opened his chest, and a tattoo picture like a wolf and a phoenix appeared in front of everyone.
The man surnamed Jiang was surprised: "Isn't this the totem symbol of the Quartet Realm!"
"Quartet Realm?" Shiyun had never heard of this name, and was a little puzzled.
Tuoba Yu looked at it carefully for a while, but didn't come up with a reason, and asked the man surnamed Jiang, "You seem to know a lot about the Quartet Realm, can you tell me about it?"
The man surnamed Jiang looked down at the tattoo and said, "I don't know much about this force, but I once heard the elders of the clan mention it, and I wrote it down because it was more special." ”
Shi Yun said: "Special? What is special about this Quartet Realm?"
The man surnamed Jiang said: "The special thing is that the pursuit of the Quartet Realm is different from the major cultivation forces in the world, it is neither like the Immortal Dao pursuing immortality, nor like the Demon Sect pursuing ascension into the wilderness, and it is also different from the great families to give grace and power, what they pursue is - the establishment of the country!"
"Jianguo ?!!" Shiyun and Tuoba Yu spoke in unison, and they had a tacit understanding, so much so that after finishing speaking, the two of them looked at each other strangely.
There was a hint of unobservable strangeness on Jie Chen's cold face, but the man surnamed Jiang didn't notice this, and continued: "It is said that they are the descendants of a certain ancient country thousands of years ago, and they established the Sifang Realm by coincidence and became one of the most mysterious forces in the Xiuzhen Realm. They were founded with nationhood as their ultimate goal, and where they are gathered today remains a mystery. ”
After listening to the explanation of the man surnamed Jiang, Tuoba Yu's doubts deepened, and he couldn't understand what purpose the Quartet Realm would attack her.
Shiyun also fell into deep thought, he knew the identity of Tuoba Yu, and he often heard that the killing between the Demon Sect was frequent and abnormal, so he couldn't help but associate the Quartet Realm with Tuoba Jade, but he still thought about it more deeply than Tuoba Yu. He wondered if the Quartet Realm was coming against him? They couldn't resist a few tricks in the hands of the Absolute Dust, and many details were difficult to grasp, but they couldn't find any definite evidence to rule out this possibility.
As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't do without the heart of guarding against people, Shiyun couldn't help but be a little cautious, maybe it's not a bad thing to get closer to Tuoba Yu, and they are the shield.
After tossing for a long time, the black-clothed man from the Quartet Realm could no longer find any favorable clues, and Tuoba Yu was also very happy, and he didn't want to stay in this filthy place anymore, so he instructed Jiechen: "Dirty people's places, clean up for others!"
Jiechen nodded and was about to throw these black-clothed corpses into the river, and the man surnamed Jiang smiled and said, "As a distinguished guest on my ship, you still need to do it yourself?!"
He clapped his hands, and the boy who had collected their fees in the morning squeezed out of the crowd. The boy bowed to the man surnamed Jiang, took out a jade porcelain vial from his sleeve, and his small hand continued to shake out the white powder from the bottle.
When the white powder fell on the corpse of the Quartet, it was like a spark falling on dry wood, and a faint blue flame emerged from the corpse.
The corpse quickly dissolved in the blue flames at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into ashes and was scattered by the night wind, which was strange and abnormal, and after the corpse disappeared, the blue flames were also extinguished in the void.
When everyone saw such a strange scene, they were terrified by the white powder, and if the white powder were sprinkled on them, their scalps could not help but tingle.
The boy seemed to be surprised by this, and sprinkled powder on the next corpse without a red face and a heartbeat. A faint blue flame rose in front of Shikumo. It was a flame, but there was not the slightest sense of burning, only the sound of Ziz proved that it was a flame.
The blue flames burned when they met the flesh and bones, and in a few moments the corpses on the deck were burned clean, and there was not even a trace of blood left.
Seeing this, the man surnamed Jiang stretched his eyebrows, and his mood improved a lot.
The faint blue fire disappeared into Tuoba Yu's eyes, and she turned her head with a sinking face: "The Nine Ghost Flames are not common in the world, it seems that the status of the shipowner in the Jiang family is not low, I don't know what the shipowner is called?"
The man surnamed Jiang said modestly: "The girl is too exaggerated. In Xia Jiang is not leaving, since the dispute between you is over, I will not accompany you here. Girl, if you need anything in the boat, just call it softly. ”
After speaking, Jiang Buli took the boy off the deck and walked to the cabin. The boatman was afraid of three points, and did not dare to look at him, for fear of annoying him with disrespect.
After Jiang Bu left, the other passengers saw that there was no more excitement to see and dispersed, and only Tuoba Yu and Shiyun were left on the deck.
Shiyun stepped away and prepared to return to the cabin, but remembering that he had promised Tuoba Yu to be a seven-day slave, he took his breath and put his front feet back and stood in place.
"By the way, there's something I need to know. Tuoba Yu showed a pair of small tiger teeth and said to Shiyun.
"What?"
Tuoba Yu paused for a moment and said in a smug tone, "You are now my servant retinue, you know?"
Shiyun said angrily: "I know." ”
Tuoba Yu played with his hair, and raised his head and said, "Then do you know what your master's name is?"
Shiyun blurted out: "Mop fish!"
Tuoba Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "You say it again?"
Shiyun coughed and said, "Tuoba Jade." ”
Tuoba Yu said indignantly: "It must have been told to you by that ugly woman." Hmph, now it's okay, the slave knows the name of the master, but the master doesn't know the name of the slave, how can this be called?"
Shi Yun was a little speechless in his heart, the Demon Sect woman really had so many scheming, and she had to make several detours to ask for a name: "The surname is Shi Mingyun." If you have any commands, I will keep my promise for seven days. ”
Tuoba Yu said with a sigh: "Shiyun, what an ugly name, that's good, you are Xiaoyunzi now, you have to do whatever I say." ”
"Xiao Yunzi?" Shi Yun belly slandered, this is the usual name of the eunuch in the Great Yan Palace, this woman is deliberately manipulating him.
"Not satisfied?" Tuoba Yu said, slanting a glance at him.
Shiyun said: "Don't dare, whatever you say is what you say." ”
Tuoba Yu smiled: "Yes, this is like a good slave." She looked at her and said, "It's not too early, I'm going back to rest." I'm worried that another bandit will come at night with bad intentions, so you can stand outside my door tonight and keep vigil all night. ”
At this time, Jiechen, who had not spoken, said: "Miss, he can't protect Miss with a low cultivation, or I ......"
Tuoba Yu said unhappily: "Do you still want you to make decisions about my affairs?"
Juechen didn't dare to say in a hurry, so he hid to the side nervously and looked at Shiyun coldly.
Shi Yun's heart was tight, he had just heard Jiechen say that his "cultivation was low", could it be that they already knew that he was also a monk?
