Vol 2 Chapter 9: diving

Longshen Fort was built on the Wanlong River 20 miles away from Yongzhou City, where there is a prosperous town-Wanlong Town.
Longshen Fort is the earth emperor in the eyes of Wanlong Town and the surrounding villages. In the eyes of the people, the words of Longshen Fort are more effective than the government. .
Wanlong River is more than 20 feet wide and the water transportation business is developed. The only wharf in Wanlong Town is controlled by Longshen Fort. Leaning on this pier, Longshen Fort is rich in oil.
There are so many people relying on Longshen Fort for food. Because of this, the people in the town like to find "superior" Longshen Fort to deal with disputes.
Over time, even the security of Benlong Town was under the control of Longshenbao.
The present-day fort master Lei has a fiery temper, can't rub the sand in his eyes, pays much attention to the rules, and handles things unselfishly.
Won the reputation of "Lei Gong".
"Lei Gong" Lei Zheng, good at making swords, a fifth-rank martial artist, unlike the Gongsun Patriarch, he is a boring person who is not close to female.
He only loves to practice the sword every day, dives into the river bottom with a machete and swings the sword, and never goes ashore without swinging it five hundred times.
The people in the town said that if one day sees a certain section of the river turbulent, it will be the thunder gong practicing the sword in the river.
Longshen Fort, in the lobby.
Lei Zheng took a sip of tea and touched the machete beside his hand, his voice hummed:
"I'm going to practice the knife, what's the matter with you, to make a long story short, don't disturb me practicing the knife."
Lei Zheng is just over fifty this year, is 1.9 meters tall, has a bald head, swollen muscles, and a stronger body than a young man. It feels like the kind of reckless guy who will cut people with a knife if he doesn't agree.
In fact, he did.
Lei Zheng's side was Gongsun Xiangyang, who was fond of female sex, the young playboy, smiling and saying:
"You have practiced the knife for so many years, how long will it take to enter the fourth rank?"
Lei Zheng said with a cold face: "This has nothing to do with you."
Gongsun Xiangyang said: "I have to guard against you, someday you will be promoted to the fourth rank and cut me with a single knife."
The history of Longshen Fort is shorter than that of the Gongsun family. When the ancestors of Longshen Fort came to Yongzhou to fight the world, they often clashed with the family of the Snake Gongsun.
The children of the two sides fought day by day, resulting in many lives. Later, because of the large scale of the team battle, it affected the people and had a very bad impact on the public order of Yongzhou. The city government of Yongzhou intervened to mediate.
Of course, that was more than two hundred years ago. Today, although there are still frictions between the two sides, they are all within a reasonable range.
"Something went wrong in the tomb."
Gongsun Xiangyang's words dispelled Lei Zheng's intention to send off the guests. This bald-headed fortress with bulging muscles frowned slightly:
"What does this have to do with me?"
The Nanshan tomb was already occupied by the Gongsun family. Based on the tacit understanding, the Dragon God Fort would not intervene in it again unless the Gongsun family actively invited it.
Gongsun Xiangyang relayed the situation at the bottom of the tomb and the affairs of the Tsing Yi expert to Lei Zheng.
Lei Zheng's eyes were round and round, just like Gongsun Xiangyang who had first heard the news, he felt a sense of crisis with cannonballs buried at the door.
After calming down, he stared at Patriarch Gongsun coldly: "Why should I trust you?"
Gongsun Xiangyang slowly said:
"You can go down to the tomb and have a look at it yourself, um, if you are not afraid of death. I have found out the residence of the master, and it is in the restaurant. He let Gongsun's family look at Nanshan, because Nanshan is too big and he wants to be careful , Need a lot of manpower.
"Longshenbao and Gongsun's family are eating together in Yongzhou. You can't stay out of the matter. In addition, what I said is true or false. Let's visit the expert, don't you know."
Lei Zheng snorted coldly: "You want to go by yourself, but you don't dare, so you take my courage and share the risk."
Gongsun Xiangyang smiled and did not refute.
Lei Zheng held the knife and got up, "Wait for an hour here, I will go with you after I practice the knife."
"You don't put that expert in your eyes?"
"Oh, the superior is not superior, it's all up to you to say it!"
Lei Zheng remained skeptical. After all, he had never been to the grave, nor had he eaten crabs in Yangbai Lake. Just relying on Gongsun Xiangyang's words, it seemed to make him sincere?
Gongsun Xiangyang linger was bad, and only said that he was an expert, but he didn't say that poem. Otherwise, Lei Zheng's attitude will be much more correct.
.............
Izakaya.
On the side of the table, there were fresh poisonous weeds, a few porcelain vases, and 50 taels of sesame seeds. Xu Qi'an asked Xiaoer to pound the medicine pot, and threw the poisonous weeds into it.
Then pour the venomous snake fluid and continue to pound it "boom-boom".
Sitting by the window, Mu Nanzhi sniffed, frowned and said, "What smells, it smells so bad."
Xu Qi'an said: "Open the windows for ventilation. I'm making poison pills."
While talking, he grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and threw them into the pounding pot.
Concubine Yiyan opened the window, but instead of taking the opportunity to breathe fresh air, she walked to the table and sat down, arrogantly patted Xu Qi'an's hand and grabbed the jar.
She got some venom on her fingertips, put it in her small mouth and sucked, and then licked her lips:
"These poisonous herbs are so powerful that they don't help you much, but the smell of snake venom is pretty good."
For the flower god, poisonous weeds are also grasses, and poisonous flowers are also flowers, no different from ordinary flowers and plants.
Xu Qi'an called an expert directly, and the two started discussing this, as if they were discussing a certain kind of food they liked.
"This time I went to the underground palace to find the ancient corpse and borrowed some venom. The essence conceived in the corpse for thousands of years can stimulate the poisonous Gu to a great extent and make it evolve."
Xu Qi'an said, took out the jade bottle containing the ancient corpse venom and unplugged it.
"The taste is too strong."
Mu Nanzhi clutched his nose and slipped away.
Xu Qi'an tilted the small jade bottle, and the viscous blue-black liquid slowly poured out and dripped into the jar.
In an instant, the grass dregs in the pounding pot became a deep blue-black color, and the color can be reminiscent of toxicity.
Then, he put the mashing pot on a small carbon stove, simmered it with a simmer, and stopped it until it was slightly dry.
The next thing to do is to group them into small pills and take one pill a day.
The venom of the ancient corpse is too violent. With the current level of Poison Gu, it cannot withstand excessive toxicity at one time, otherwise it will be poisoned to death.
After the pellets were formed, Xu Qi'an put them on the table one by one and let them dry naturally.
The air is full of toxins, and if an ordinary person is here, no more than a cup of tea will surely die.
Mu Nanzhi was sitting by the window, rolling his eyes while reading the idle book she bought in the downtown area.
At this time, the door knocked, and the shop Xiaoer's voice came: "Guest, there are two masters looking for you."
Looking for me?
Xu Qi'an was taken aback, and calmly replied to Xiao Er: "Who?"
The second shopkeeper said: "One of them calls himself Gongsun Xiangyang, the other calls himself Lei Zheng."
Gongsun Xiangyang, a member of the Gongsun family? Who is Lei Zheng..... Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment, and said, "Invite them in."
He guessed that Gongsun Xiangyang was a very senior person in the Gongsun family, or the head of the Gongsun family.
According to the rules, a reclusive master who has been in the Taoist priesthood for eight hundred years is here. If there is a political force in the Gongsun family district, if he wants to visit, he must be the most respected generation in the family.
It is impossible to send a junior or a small person in the family.
The last one must be a family heir like Gongsunxiu.
As for Lei Zheng, Xu Qi'an had never heard of this person, but since he came with Gongsun's family, he should also be a person with a good face.
"Do you need me to avoid the screen?" The princess raised her eyes and looked over.
"No, go and pull the door bolt open."
The princess curled her small mouth, shook the young woman's plump and attractive buttocks, walked to the door, and opened the latch.
In a moment, two footsteps stopped outside the door, and then a mellow voice said respectfully:
"Senior, the Patriarch of Xia Gongsun, Gongsun Xiangyang."
Xu Qi'an said lightly: "The door is unlocked."
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came in with a smile on his face and obvious crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, which were wrinkles caused by a habitual smile.
The other old man was burly, with a machete on his back, bald, with a fierce temperament, giving the impression of being fierce and uncomfortable.
"Lord of Dragon God Castle, Lei Zheng."
The bald old man clasped his fists and his voice was strong and loud.
Xu Qi'an nodded slowly and raised his hand to signal: "Sit down."
At this moment, his eyes were gentle, his eyes contained the vicissitudes of time washed away, his attitude was light and breezy, but he showed a natural majesty.
It's a pity that the temples are missing two white spots.
Gongsun Xiangyang swept across the room calmly, his eyes swept away on Dafeng's first beauty, and sat down with restraint and caution.
Lei Zheng was about to look more carefree, looking at Xu Qi'an with full scrutiny.
He had been to the underground palace, only circled the periphery, and did not venture into the main tomb after all. Therefore, he was half-believing what Gongsun Xiangyang said.
"Thank you seniors for their life-saving grace to the little girl. The Gongsun family has nothing to do with it. He will definitely guard Nanshan well and prevent anyone from entering the tomb."
It was also the first time Gongsun Xiangyang saw an expert, his curiosity was not lighter than that of Lei Zheng, he looked at it vaguely, and he didn't see the strangeness of the expert.
But because of this, it became more respectful.
Lei Zheng tentatively asked, "Senior, what is the identity of the ancient corpse in the underground palace?"
Xu Qi'an has a gentle voice: "It's just a small person."
Little person, that evil ancient corpse of at least Grade 3, in his eyes is just a little person... Gongsun Xiangyang was shocked, he was about to speak, suddenly twitched his nose, accompanied by dizziness, he stood in shock. Get up:
"Yes, toxic..."
Lei Zheng also stood up, stepped back a few steps, and the two looked at the small black on the table.
What is this thing, just the smell that it emits, I can't bear it.........Gongsun Xiangyang was shocked.
At the fifth stage of Huajin, most of the poisons in the world can rely on the powerful liver function to detoxify. I am afraid that one pill of these poisonous pills can kill the fifth stage.
Xu Qi'an said in a warm and apologetic voice: "I just made a few poison pills and prepared them as snacks, so I put them away."
After all, he twisted a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
Eat, eat it... Gongsun Xiangyang was dumbfounded, his face was stiff, his back was cold.
Lei Zheng's pupils shrank violently, his entire body was erected, and his panic suddenly exploded.
The two Five-Rank masters stared at Xu Qi'an, stared at his mouth, stared at his throat, and saw the apple jelly roll, which meant that the ball was swallowed into the stomach.
Why use poison pills as snacks? No, this is not the point, the point is that he is really a terrifying figure, a top master in the hidden world...... Gongsun Xiangyang silently straightened his waist.
Gongsun Xiangyang didn’t lie to me..........Lei Zheng was deeply shocked. He quickly reviewed his attitude, worried and annoyed for his previous contempt, fearing that it would have caused this gentleman on the surface. Dissatisfaction of the expert.
"All right!"
Xu Qi'an put the small jade bottle into his arms.
In fact, in terms of real combat power, he can't beat the fifth rank, unless he has a way to pour poison directly into the belly of the fifth rank master.
In addition to poison, he lacks effective means to break through copper skin and iron bones.
Of course, the warrior also couldn't beat him, because Qi Jue Gu was tricky, and there were too many ways to remain invincible.
After I digest all these poison pills, I should be able to win the fifth rank... Xu Qi'an thought to himself, the surface was still calm:
"It just so happens. Even if the two of you don't come, I plan to visit."
Gongsun Xiangyang and Lei Zheng looked at each other, and the former immediately asked respectfully: "I don't know what the younger generation can do for the senior."
Xu Qi'an looked at the two with warm and calm eyes:
"I would like to ask the two for help to hold the Yongzhou Wulin Conference, which is scheduled for one and a half months."
This is the way he came up with not long ago. Instead of looking for the Dragon Qi host aimlessly, it is better to find a way to summon them and catch them all in one go.
Although the martial arts conference is aimed at people from the rivers and lakes, with the human nature of participating in the fun, there will definitely be people from wealthy backgrounds coming to join the event.
The reason why the Gongsun family and Longshenbao were entrusted to lead the matter was first of all low-key. He had to guard against Xu Pingfeng's backhands, so hiding behind the scenes was the best choice.
As for the time set a month later, considering the spread of the news and the inconvenience of transportation, it will definitely take a lot of time for people from all over Yongzhou to come to Yongzhou after receiving the news.
"This.........the younger generation can ask why?"
Gongsun Xiangyang tentatively said.
....... Xu Qi'an originally wanted to say that using the "power" of the Yongzhou heroes to suppress the ancient corpses would appear unpredictable. But then I think about it, as a master who has won eight hundred autumns, suppressing the ancient corpses still needs the help of the Yongzhou heroes.
This in itself is very low-level and has no style.
So he smiled faintly: "Because it's funny."
Gongsun Xiangyang and Lei Zheng were speechless for a while.
"To hold a martial arts conference, there must be an attractive gimmick..."
"Why not? We two jointly set up a list of the top 100 martial arts in Yongzhou, and invited the heroes from all walks of life in Yongzhou to take a written test and order a ranking. This is an irresistible temptation for those who like reputation..... ..."
"There must be heavy rewards..."
Gongsun Yang and Lei Zheng talked endlessly, Xu Qi'an drank tea and listened with a smile.
Half an hour later, the two who negotiated the result stood up and left.
After the two left, Mu Nanzhi looked at him and asked sharply: "Did you play Wei Yuan just now?"
Xu Qi'an ignored him and said, "We will leave Yongzhou City tomorrow and go around Yongzhou."
...........
Fuyang County.
The little mare was led by the owner and walked around, dragged on the horse's back, from the most handsome man to the most beautiful woman.
Sitting on horseback, Munanzhi looked left and right. This is a small county town that is not too wealthy. Whether it is a street in disrepair for a long time and a house of the same age, it shows this.
The clothes of pedestrians are not glamorous enough, and the style and materials are relatively ordinary.
But the rice wine in Fuyang County is famous throughout Yongzhou.
Xu Qi'an came to drink this time, and the princess also likes to drink, so he gladly agreed. The two of them walked around the rivers and lakes, wherever they went, they could eat and drink.
Passing by a small river, there is a slate bridge on the river, white walls and black tiles, small bridges with flowing water, if there are more mists and rains, and the lady is holding a paper umbrella, it will be perfect.
Xu Qi'an led the little mare on a stone bridge, and suddenly heard an exclamation not far away:
"Someone dives, some dives!"
He and the princess looked sideways. Upstream, a woman went up and down with her drinking water, and her situation was extremely critical.
Pedestrians on both sides of the strait pointed, or found bamboo poles to reach the woman, trying to rescue her.
The woman choked a few sips of water, her face twisted, trying to save herself, but the current was very fast and she was impervious to water. The more she thumped ~EbookFREE.me~ the more water she choked in.
Gradually, half life is left.
"Save people, save people..."
People in the distance yelled immediately when they saw someone on the bridge.
Jumping down the bridge, grabbing the woman's shoulders, her toes abruptly on the water, and fluttering back to the shore......... Xu Qi'an completed a series of operations in his mind, and then he jumped off the bridge.
"thump!"
He plunged into the cold water and swam towards the woman.
Among the seven abilities of Qi Jue Gu, none of them can fly.
With so many people around, Xu Qi'an dispelled the idea of ​​using the dark gu to save people in full view.
Sometimes, the vulgar martial artist can be more elegant than other systems...The moment he picked up the drowning woman, Xu Qi'an had such thoughts in his heart.
"Hidden, hold the bamboo pole!"
An old man stood on the shore and stretched out a bamboo pole towards Xu Qi'an.
With the help of the old man and passers-by, Xu Qi'an grabbed the bamboo pole and was pulled ashore with the woman.
The woman choked on her saliva and lost her senses.
Her face was pale, her features were quite good, and she was a very beautiful little woman.
Xu Qi'an patted her back with a palm.
"vomit......."
The woman spit out a big mouthful of water, and her drowsy sanity was restored, but she did not have the joy of escaping from the dead, but wept bitterly.
"Let me die, die clean, please..."
She covered her face and wept.
"Isn't this Zhang Cripple's wife."
"What a good dive."
"Hey, she is a poor man..."
The people around whispered.
