Chapter 12: The Controversy in the South China Sea

Yue Ziheng said and pointed at Xing Tiandao and said: "My third brother has a son, named Zhaolin, who was injured when he was patrolling the sea a month ago, and left a palm print on his back at that time, and we didn't pay much attention to it when we saw it. Who knew that ten days ago, Zhaolin's nephew's skin turned black all over his body, and his expression was like madness. When I looked at the palm print on his back again, it turned red like a cockscomb, eye-catching and terrifying. We visited all the famous doctors inside and outside the island, but no one knew the cause of the disease, and we still couldn't get the medicine after a delay. At this time, I happened to hear that the fairy Weng had returned to the South China Sea, and wanted to use the fairy Weng's knowledge, maybe he knew the way to save him, so he took the liberty to land on the island and invited the fairy Weng. ”

After listening carefully, the Nanhai Immortal Weng asked about Xing Zhaolin's injury, and the wrinkled face of the ancient wood actually showed surprise, and asked Yue Ziheng: "Duan Dangjia and you are sworn brothers, I don't know if he has ever talked about his teacher, the South China Sea Plague God Tong Kaixian?"

Yue Ziheng heard that the South China Sea Immortal Weng suddenly mentioned Tong Kaixian, and immediately smiled, glanced at Xing Tiandao, saw that his face also showed a look of surprise, and turned around and replied: "Immortal Weng may have also heard that although my fourth brother Duan Wuchang has a fierce face, he is extremely decent, and he has always been disliked by his teacher Tong Kaixian. Seven years ago, the night harrier Pan Maosheng brutalized the wife of his fourth brother for no reason, and the senior brother turned against him and never interacted again. According to the fourth brother, his teacher Tong Kaixian is obsessed with martial arts, and for nearly 30 years, except for occasional evil, he has been looking for an ancient book in the famous mountains, and then he simply can't hear the whereabouts of this person anymore, and even the title of the first person in the South China Sea was replaced by the fast sword Yao Zhiyuan. If it weren't for the two apprentices of the South China Sea Twin Demons, the people in the rivers and lakes would almost forget his existence. ”

"That's it!" Nanhai Immortal nodded and said, "Finally let him find it!"

Yue Ziheng listened to the South China Sea Immortal Weng's heavy tone and asked, "Does the Immortal Weng know what book Tong Kaixian is looking for?"

Nanhai Immortal Weng nodded, turned back to the topic, and said, "Let's not talk about the book first, can you tell me how Xing Zhaolin was injured and whose hands were injured?"

Yue Ziheng looked at his brother Xing Tiandao, and saw that his face was no longer the previous sad expression, but was replaced by a look full of expectations, so he said to the South China Sea Immortal: "It's a shame to say that the four brothers are forced by the situation, but they are not willing to become pirates, but they have come to this point, and they can only continue to develop, hoping to find a way out." ”

"Big brother's words are wrong!" Chang Kaixiao replied unconvinced: "Although we are pirates, what we are thinking about is how to enrich the island and calm the people, compared to those dog officials who can only loot the people's wealth, I don't know how many times stronger? Besides, if the vassal king is divided today, sooner or later there will be a military disaster, and only by holding the sword and gun can we keep ourselves safe." The eldest brother always wants to vote for a master, is it better to be the king on this sea than to be a slave of the court?"

"Second brother!" Yue Ziheng frowned, interrupting Chang Kaixiao's words.

"Immortals are not mortals. Xing Tiandao chuckled and said, "Who doesn't have an idea of their own? My second brother is straightforward, but what he says is the truth. ”

Nanhai Immortal nodded and said: "In this way, if you can unify the South China Sea, you will also have the capital to be recruited by the court!"

"Xian Weng is right. Yue Ziheng saw that his words had been clarified, so he said directly: "It's just that on the surface of the South China Sea, in addition to our brothers, there are two extremely powerful teams of men and horses. One is the Sea Whale Gang led by Shen Zhiyi, and the other is the sworn enemy of our Heavenly Demon Gang: the Earth Immortal Gang!"

Chang Kaixiao took the eldest brother's words and said: "These three forces were originally of equal strength, but the Sea Whale Gang met with the government's fleet at sea a year ago, Shen Zhiyi's son, daughter-in-law and two deputy gang leaders were all killed in battle, and the gang lost more than half of it, and it was no longer able to compete with the Heavenly Demon and Earth Immortal Gang. As for the Earth Immortal Gang, they are strong and strong, and the conflict with our Heavenly Demon Gang has become increasingly fierce in recent years. ”

Xing Tiandao, who was worried about his son and gradually spoke less, also opened his mouth and said: "Two months ago, Shen Zhiyi sent invitations to various gangs in the South China Sea to recruit relatives for his granddaughter Shen Lei on Giant Whale Island, and announced that the winner will be married on the day of the end of the competition with his granddaughter, that is, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole family will celebrate the New Year together, which is a good omen. Shen Zhiyi's son is dead, and there is only this one granddaughter under his knees, so anyone can see that his move is really to choose a successor for the Sea Whale Gang, hoping that the younger generations can revitalize the Sea Whale Gang again. ”

Hearing this, Sima Long interjected: "If someone in the Heavenly Demon Gang can be elected as Shen Lei's husband, wouldn't that mean that the Sea Whale Gang has been unified without blood?"

"It's not that simple!" Chang Kaixiao shook his head and said: "Although Shen Zhiyi's power has been greatly reduced, he is unwilling to be swallowed up by other gangs, and he still tries to make a comeback. I and the fourth brother are single, and the eldest brother's wife and children unfortunately died in battle when they unified the thirty-six islands outside the heavens, so in the Heavenly Demon Gang, in terms of martial arts and age, only my Zhaolin nephew and Shen Lei are the best match. Therefore, the third child once took Zhaolin to propose marriage to Shen Zhiyi, hoping to form an alliance with the Sea Whale Gang, but Shen Zhiyi refused. Therefore, if we go to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, we will definitely be considered by Shen Zhiyi as having ulterior motives. ”

Chunlan snorted on the side: "I'm afraid that others may not be so interesting!"

Chang Kaixiao picked his fingers and praised: "Miss Chunlan is right, Ye Jingsheng, the leader of the Immortal Gang in that place, has an only son named Ye Ziqing, who worships under the door of Pan Maosheng, the night harrier. Recently, Ye Jingsheng suddenly recruited Ye Ziqing back, and his intention couldn't be more obvious. ”

Xia He said impatiently: "But what does this have to do with Xing Shao's gang leader's injury?"

Chunlan said: "Sister, can't you hear it? Xing Shao's gang leader was probably injured by that Ye Ziqing's men." ”

Chang Kaixiao picked his fingers again and praised: "The girl is really smart!"

Xia He saw Chang Kaixiao playing tricks on himself, but he praised Chunlan vigorously, and scolded angrily: "Sycophant!"

Chang Kaixiao was scolded but not angry, and continued after laughing: "A month ago, Zhaolin's nephew had a conflict with the people of the Earth Immortal Gang when he was patrolling the sea, and was injured by a young man when he made a move. The other party's movements were erratic, looking like a ghost, it was Ye Ziqing who had just returned to the Earth Immortal Gang!"

Ouyang Qian nodded and said, "He was afraid that the Zhaolin brothers would go to the competition to recruit relatives, so he took the opportunity to test the Zhaolin brothers' martial arts, and then hurt people!"

Chang Kaixiao said: "That's right!"

Xia He listened with interest and said, "Shen Zhiyi doesn't want to marry the Heavenly Demon Gang, will he marry the Earth Immortal Gang?"

Chang Kaixiao raised his big finger at Xia He this time and said, "Miss Xia He is asking the idea." Shen Zhiyi is scheming, how could he let his daughter marry someone he doesn't like? There is a rule in his rules for recruiting relatives, even if he wins the competition, he must go through his personal consideration before he can pass the test. ”

Xia He heard Chang Kaixiao praise her, and analyzed diligently: "With Shen Zhiyi's decades of skill, no matter how powerful that Ye Ziqing's martial arts are, I'm afraid he won't be able to beat him." Therefore, this grand event of recruiting relatives is nominally a contest between the people participating in the competition, but in fact it is still controlled by Shen Zhiyi. He doesn't like whoever is his granddaughter-in-law, and whoever can't marry that Shen Lei! But in this way, I don't know if Shen Lei is recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition, or if he Shen Zhiyi is recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition?"

Chang Kaixiao's two big fingers were raised and said, "The girl is so smart! So we won't send someone to bring shame on ourselves at all, so let Ye Jingsheng and Shen Zhiyi intrigue." ”

Xia He was proud, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her and laughing, she suddenly realized that Chang Kaixiao was still playing tricks on her, and she was so angry that she glared at her again: "Sycophant!"

Ouyang Qian listened, glared and was about to teach Xia He another lesson, Chang Kaixiao had already waved his hand and said: "Miss Ouyang, don't be angry, I'm used to talking about it, turn around and beat myself up!"

Xia He was also self-aware when he heard this Chang Kaixiao, and his dislike for him disappeared a lot, and he laughed after glaring at Chang Kaixiao.

After Xing Tiandao and others laughed, he returned to the truth and asked the Nanhai Immortal Weng: "The Immortal Weng said before that Tong Kaixian was looking for a book, could it be that the dog was injured by the martial arts from that book?"

Nanhai Immortal Weng nodded and said, "You must have all heard of the Candle Shadow Shaking Divine Skill!"

"Sizzle!" Yue Ziheng gasped and said: "Three hundred years ago, the four great divine skills of dragon, phoenix, floating, and shaking faced off against the rivers and lakes, and there were countless casualties in black and white.

Nanhai Immortal Weng said: "Have you ever thought about it? The first three divine skills are all famous for their swordsmanship, why is the candle shadow shaking function a single set of body techniques to dominate the rivers and lakes? It is only because it is also equipped with a kind of invisible magic skill that hurts people, but this set of exercises has no trace to be found from the appearance of the person injured by it, so it is not known. ”

"What kind of exercises are so weird?" the three Yue Ziheng brothers asked almost in unison.

Nanhai Immortal Weng said: "Netherworld Ghost Claw!"

"Netherworld ghost claws, Mo Fei, Mo Fei......" Xing Tiandao was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he couldn't say any more.

Chang Kaixiao asked for the third brother and said, "But the injuries on Zhaolin's nephew's body are very strange and unforgettable, not like the ghostly claws that have no trace to be found?"

Nanhai Immortal Weng chuckled and said: "The Netherworld Ghost Claw is extremely profound, and when it is successful, it hurts people between their minds, and the injured person is healed with ordinary palm power, so that he can't prescribe the right medicine, and he doesn't know what the reason is until he dies? ”

Yue Ziheng asked, "Can Immortal Weng explain in detail?"

The South China Sea Immortal Weng sighed and said: "Back then, the candle shadow shook the magic to plague the rivers and lakes, which was terrifying. But in fact, it is only part of a terrible set of exercises. According to the older generation, the candle shadow shaking skill comes from an ancient book: "The Record of the Netherworld"

"The Netherworld?" everyone was shocked when they heard the name.

Nanhai Immortal Weng continued: "It is rumored that there are three parts of the "Netherworld Record", the upper, middle and lower, and the upper part records two sets of extremely powerful martial arts, the Soul Claw and the Soul Hooking Sword. ”

"The fame of the Nine Sons and Ghost Mother?" Chang Kaixiao exclaimed: "No wonder she is so powerful, what kind of exercises are recorded in the middle and lower parts?"

Nanhai Immortal Weng said: "There is a kind of divine skill recorded in the middle: the iron palm copper magic skill, and the lower part is the candle shadow shaking body method and the ghost claw!"
