God of Thunder

Chapter 2 The Rich Man of the Water Town (Part 2)

Zhong Geng's eldest disciple Wu Zhen, a hundred-round master, was almost promoted to a thousand-round master. He is Zhong Geng's most proud disciple. He is only twenty-eight years old today, and he is expected to break through to a thousand-round master at the age of thirty. Reaching the age of a thousand-wheel master means that it is very likely to step into the realm of a secret wheel master in this life. A secret wheel master can definitely become a king in a remote place.

Wu Zhen discussed with his master for most of the night yesterday, and the only conclusion he came to was to try his best to make friends with each other. As long as a young man like Lei Xingfeng didn't offend him, it shouldn't be bad for them. Don't worry, this kind of genius will never stay in this place for a long time. This place should only be his temporary residence, that is to say, it is impossible for him to threaten their local influence.

Therefore, Wu Zhen came to invite him early in the morning.

Lei Xingfeng didn't refuse either, but took Zhou Xin with him. As for Uncle Zhou Tong, he didn't want to go. It's really embarrassing for an honest person to socialize with others.

Lei Xingfeng had his own ideas for bringing Zhou Xin along. He knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, and let Zhou Xin know Zhong Geng. This kind of local snake with powerful force would be good for Zhou Xin's future development.

Follow the pier back to the market.

The water market in the early morning is extremely beautiful, with a faint mist, a few water birds flying by leisurely, and the soft sound of water, so the houses seem to be floating on the water, and many people have started to set up stalls on the wooden streets. There are all kinds of food stalls, and the waterway is beside the wooden street. Small boats pass by, and after entering the market, noisy sounds come over us.

Wu Zhen said with a smile: This market is the busiest place near the water. Few other places gather so many people to live together. When the rainy season comes, there will be more people.

Lei Xingfeng said: Rainy season?

Wu Zhendao: Well, the rainy season is not suitable for fishing far away. Fishermen will gather here, especially during the two months with the heaviest rain. At that time, almost all fishermen who are out will come back to escape the storm.

Lei Xingfeng doesn't know much about the local climate. He used to live in the mountainous area. There is a warm season and a cold season. Unlike here, there are two seasons here. They are the rainy season and the dry season. There will be a lot of land in the dry season. , this place is full of water, and the previously exposed land will be submerged again, forming a large swamp lake, so the local people are fishermen and there are no land residents.

Along the way, the three of them soon came to the residential area behind the market, a stretch of wooden houses on the water.

Wu Zhen whistled, a small boat rowed over, and a sturdy fisherman said: Young Master. After greeting, he held the small boat and waited for three people to board.

The three of them got into the boat and sat down, the fisherman said: Sit down. As he spoke, he supported the bamboo pole and pushed the boat hard, and then he paddled and went along the waterway.

After a while, they came to an independent water courtyard with a large wooden platform. Zhou Xin called out, Brother Lei, look, that crocodile is on it!

On the platform, a huge crocodile has been divided into several sections, and the skin has also been separated. A huge fish head stands on the platform like this, and the teeth in the mouth are exposed, each of which is the size of a palm. , glowing with a faint white light, just like jade.

Zhou Xin was really curious, and ran to watch after he got on the platform. Wu Zhen immediately ordered people to follow him in case someone bumped into the child. Now that he knew that Lei Xingfeng was not so kind to Zhou Xin, he asked people to follow Zhou Xin. He personally accompanied Lei Xingfeng into the room.

Lei Xingfeng noticed that the rooms here are very delicately built, completely different from the houses in the market. The houses in the market are rough and simple, and they can meet the needs of living and living. But the houses here are much more exquisite, with carved doors and windows. The roof is still covered with glazed tiles, as is the ridge. On the high raised eaves, a string of wind chimes is hung, which makes a crisp sound with the breeze.

On the pillars made of huge logs, various water beasts are carved, and the wooden planks on the ground are extremely thick. If you step on them, you will know that they are completely different from the wooden planks on the market streets.

The wooden streets in the bazaar make creaking noises when stepped on, but there is no sound at all here. It is conceivable that how many materials are used below, and one can tell at a glance that this is the practice of rich people. Strength, in a small place, is definitely a big rich man.

Carved railings and painted buildings, exquisite carpets, fluttering gauze, all kinds of green plants and flowers in the corners of the ring corridor, there are many ordinary servants who greet Wu Zhen immediately when they see him, calling him the young master.

Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he is a secret wheel master, and he has never been treated like this before. Before training, he even had to worry about three meals. After training, he fought continuously. But when it comes to the quality of life, he can't compare to Wu Zhen anyway.

The largest house is in the center of the water yard. After passing through several ring corridors, you come to the central house. It is a big house open on all sides. Because of the warm climate here, whether it is rainy or dry season, the climate is very warm, so there are many wealthy people. People's rooms are all hollowed out on all sides, and only light gauze is used to cover the infestation of mosquitoes. This room is more than 300 square meters, supported by only a dozen huge pillars, and a lot of green plants are placed around it.

Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but praised: It's a very nice building. He is also considered a well-informed person, although the building is extremely exquisite, his expression is also very indifferent.

Wu Zhen nodded secretly, only a well-informed person would have such an attitude. He had seen many local wealthy landlords, and when they entered here, they were all stunned. Zhong Geng greeted them, and he said with a smile: Welcome , Hehe, it's a bit crude. He said politely.

Lei Xingfeng said: It's already pretty good.

Behind Zhong Geng was Han Xiaobao. As for Tian Dabing, he didn't show up at all. Yesterday, Tian Dabing's performance made him very disappointed. If it wasn't for the fact that the Tian family still has a lot of power in the local area, he might drive this guy away immediately, which would be a disaster for his master.

The four of them sat down, and a servant brought breakfast, Lei Xingfeng said: Bring one to my little brother.

Zhong Geng gave an order, and immediately a servant went to the platform to serve Zhou Xin for breakfast.

The breakfast is very rich. There are rice, porridge, various fried fish pieces, and a lot of pickled vegetables. Lei Xingfeng doesn't know much about them. They are all local specialties. They taste quite good. Eat this meal He is very satisfied.

After breakfast, Zhong Geng began to test Lei Xingfeng. He hoped to know which sect Lei Xingfeng was from and why he came to this remote place.

Of course Lei Xingfeng would not tell the truth, he just said briefly that it was a request from his master to come here to practice for a period of time, and there was no special purpose.

Although Zhong Geng was skeptical, he felt relieved. He saw that Lei Xingfeng did not have any malicious intentions. Disciple training is a common practice in all sects. Disciples of any sect will go out to practice. There are various reasons and strange experiences. , he didn't have the slightest doubt about it.

Han Xiaobao didn't speak all the time, she looked at Lei Xingfeng curiously, she really couldn't figure it out, a person at such a young age could cultivate better than his master, Master Milun, that is an extremely powerful existence, until now, she I have also met a secret wheel master, at least seventy or eighty years old, he is really arrogant, I didn't expect a young man to be a secret wheel teacher, I really don't know how this person cultivated.

Zhong Geng said: Brother Lei, since you have come here to practice, you can live with me in the future, it will be more comfortable than living on a boat.

Lei Xingfeng flatly refused, he didn't want to live here, it's not convenient for him to practice, he said: That's okay, I'll still live on the boat, but there is one thing I need to trouble Mr. Zhong with.

Zhong Geng said: Please tell me, as long as I can help, there must be no problem.

Lei Xingfeng said: I need a small boat, well, I can pay for it. He considered that if the rainy season came, he would need to go out to practice, and thunderstorms are the golden season for him to practice, and he needs to quickly improve his skills here. Strength, you have to go out alone, it is impossible to trouble Uncle Zhou, and it is very dangerous to go out in rainy days, especially in thunderstorms, Uncle Zhou is an ordinary person, he can't stop thunder and lightning.

Zhong Geng was surprised and said: I want to buy a boat... um, no problem, I have it here, I will give you one directly, um, do you want a servant?

Lei Xingfeng said: No need to give it away, I will buy it, and I don't need servants.

Zhong Geng said with a smile: It's just a small boat, you really don't need to buy it, hehe, the boat is worthless locally.

Lei Xingfeng thought about it for a while, it's fine, to him, a small boat is really nothing, he is not an ordinary person, he nodded and said: Okay, that's all. A thank you is still necessary.

Zhong Geng laughed immediately, he was very satisfied with Lei Xingfeng's attitude, he immediately ordered his men to prepare a good boat.

Communicating with Zhong Geng, Lei Xingfeng got a lot of news, which he could not get from Uncle Zhou. This place is indeed very remote. It's time to go to Juman Continent, that's where Lei Xingfeng comes out, and it's at least ten years away from the center of Wanhu Continent. Of course, if practitioners use the Ancient Wheel Passage, it won't take long.

Compared with Juman Continent, Wanhu Continent is relatively more lively. Not only is there a large population in the city, but there are also many different sects of cultivation. Even in remote small places, there are many practitioners. It’s just that this world is too big, and it’s really vast. The population is sparse, and in a small place, even if there are practitioners, the number of people will not be too many, and the level is relatively low. A ten thousand round master or even a thousand round master is enough to control a place.

Many cultivators who have no hope of advancing will choose to return to their hometown to develop in the end, or find a remote small place, and become a local rich man. Dominating a place is enough to develop a small family.

Zhong Geng said: Brother Lei, are you free these few days?

Lei Xingfeng said: Is there something wrong?

Zhong Geng smiled and said, Yes, it's a good thing.
