Liao Zhai's Refining God
Page 58
As the huge waves descended, the cargo ship stopped firmly on the pier, which happened to be at the same level with the tall pier under construction, and boarded the ship after placing wooden boards.It can be seen that the control of the water flow by the two behemoths inside has reached the point of proficiency. Even Wang Lin feels that their water control methods are stronger than Nie Xiaoxuan's green snake, but they are definitely not as good as Nie Xiaoxuan.
Not only that, in the eyes of Guo Zilin and Su Xiaoying, they could only vaguely see the outline of a cargo ship, and they couldn't see whether there were people on the cargo ship.
But in Wang Lin's view, this is not the case. There is a group of ghost soldiers standing on top of the cargo ship. Judging from the condensed form of its dharma body, there is a leading ghost general among them. Judging from the degree of condensed ghost aura, this ghost It should be a congenital real ghost cultivation base.Under the cover of the vast night, these ghost soldiers and ghost generals deliberately kept people from seeing them, and ordinary people naturally couldn't see them.
"It should be the boat of the boat gang!" Wang Lin thought while looking at the boat.Because the ship's logo was engraved on the hull, Wang Lin could recognize it.Obviously, the boat of the boat gang got stuck here.
At this time, as the big ship docked, the temple zhu commanded the thick and strong man raised by the temple to quickly transport the sacrifices to the big ship.Those big men who were showing off their might and arrogance during the day, at this moment, all of them were cautious and fearful, and quickly transported the sacrifices up.
"You board the ship!" When all the sacrifices were brought up, Miao Zhu waved his hands to the waiting group.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuu!" Some people couldn't help crying out loud, but they knew they didn't dare to make a loud noise, sobbing silently.Those who were named in the morning boarded the ship one by one as if they were going to die.There was a group of people kneeling behind, and the wife of Li's second child even fell to the ground, burying her mouth in the soil and whimpering. Her child was frightened and wanted to cry, but was held down tightly by him, suffocating the child's body. All convulsed.
Because these people were not far from the woods where Wang Lin and the three were hiding, this scene fell into the eyes of Guo Zilin and Su Xiaoying.
"The sky is clear, the sun and the moon are shining, how dare you do this!" Guo Zilin was filled with righteous indignation and muttered in a low voice, about to move forward.
"Brother Wang, let's kill this Miaozhu and these thieves who are working for tigers to eliminate harm for the people." Su Xiaoying also drew the long sword from her waist and said.
The two of them thought it was caused by the coercion of Miao Zhu and the people around Miao Zhu. They couldn't see the two monsters under the water, nor the ghost soldiers and ghost generals on the cargo ship. They thought that if they killed Miao Zhu, all this would be over. .
"Don't die, let's go!" Wang Lin held Su Xiaoying and Guo Zilin with her arms outstretched, the zhenqi on the soles of her feet swirled, and rushed towards the depths of the dense forest, and the two were pulled away without any resistance.
At this time, the ghost soldiers on the boat heard the voice in the dense forest, and they had already turned into a whirlwind and flew over. If Wang Lin hadn't reacted quickly and pulled the two away, and at the same time operated the magic altar to block the breath, they might have been killed by the ghost. The soldiers found out.
Wang Lin knew very well that even if Nie Xiaoqian was added, she would not be able to deal with this ship. Among other things, the combat power of the two monsters under the water was extraordinary.Nie Xiaoqian is Ding Sishen, majoring in fire-attribute mana, not good at water warfare.
But Wang Lin has not yet reached the innate level, and the time to hold her breath in the water is extremely limited. Even if she has reached the innate level, she is not an opponent of two water-controlling monsters in the water.Even with the Chuyang Little Sword, Wang Lin didn't dare to let it dive into the water to fight against the monster. Once the sword was stuck in the water by the monster's flesh and blood, or even taken away, it would be extremely dangerous.
After all, Wang Lin knew very well that this ship was a superficial phenomenon, and there must be a powerful existence controlling it behind it.And where these people were taken, it is not clear whether they are dead or alive, and it needs to be discussed in the long run.
"Brother Wang, why did you stop me? Scholars of my generation should take care of the world's injustices. I want to ask that Miaozhu why he exploited his neighbors like this. Where are those people sent?" After leaving here, Guo Zilin was still unwilling road.
"Brother Wang, maybe all of this is caused by that Miao Zhu. We can rescue those people by killing that Miao Zhu by surprise. You see, those people are really pitiful. Why did you stop me?" Su Xiaoying also said indignantly .
"You are still young, it would be a pity to die!" Wang Lin waved her hand.
"Brother Wang, you think too highly of them, right? It's easy to kill those Miaozhu and thieves with your cultivation base." Su Xiaoying said.
"Sometimes, you can live for a long time if you are wise and protect yourself." Wang Lin didn't want to talk too much with them, because they couldn't see the monsters, ghost soldiers, ghost generals, and couldn't explain clearly.The main reason is that Wang Lin herself couldn't figure out why this happened.
Guo Zilin wanted to argue with Wang Lin because of this, but seeing that Wang Lin was not interested, he stopped talking.But he had a pimple in his heart. If it wasn't for Wang Lin's performance before, he might have ridiculed Wang Lin at this time, thinking that Wang Lin didn't have the character of a scholar.
Su Xiaoying had just walked in the rivers and lakes, and her heart was full of passion, and she had a secret love for Wang Lin. Seeing Wang Lin's behavior at this time, especially Guo Zilin's attitude towards Wang Lin, made her feel a little secretly angry, and secretly complained about Wang Lin. Lin was angry and heartbroken for not fighting.
"Miss Su, don't you want to go to Jinghu Mountain Villa? Let's meet the owner of the villa together. By the way, let's find out if they understand what happened tonight. These people are really pitiful." Guo Zi forest road.
"Okay, let's go to Jinghu Villa. Jinghu Villa has a great reputation and has inherited Feng Liusu's chivalrous spirit. The owner of the villa, Feng Jiannanji, loves justice and hates evil. People in the world call him 'timely rain'. My father often mentions him, which is a compliment." Can't stop talking.
Moreover, he is already a martial arts master at the peak of his true energy, so he will definitely not stand idly by when encountering such a thing, and he will definitely uphold justice for the poor people here. " Su Xiaoying told Wang Lin on purpose, so she introduced Jinghu Villa in an eloquent manner.
Chapter 212
"Miss Su, I must convince Master Yue to uphold justice for the people here. They are so pitiful. I only hate that I have no power to restrain chickens. If I were a master of martial arts, I would have killed all these evil people last night. Thief, save those poor villagers." Guo Zilin said.
"Brother Wang, let's go. I'll treat you to lake crabs when we arrive at Jinghu Villa." Seeing that Wang Lin was still in deep thought, Su Xiaoying hurriedly greeted her.
"I thought you two were going to leave me behind!" Wang Lin said casually with a smile.
"We don't know each other well, so it would be ill-advised to ask you to stand out. My father often said that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. The most important thing about darts is not to be good at martial arts, but to be good at judging the situation, making friends with heroes from all over the world, and having a wide network of contacts. .Our going to Jinghu Villa is also a solution to the problem." Su Xiaoying was afraid that Wang Lin would leave, so she hurriedly explained.
"Okay, let's go to Jinghu Villa to have a look." Wang Lin said.
Wang Lin thought, Jinghu Villa should be one of the larger forces nearby, with Yueliusu's prestige, it has a pivotal position in both the official family and the rivers and lakes. If such a strange thing happened, they should have What is understood is.
If there is no information about Jinghu Villa, Wang Lin plans to go to the nearby Town God's Temple in Hua County to find out.If things cannot be done, Wang Lin will not force herself to fight for the boat gang, nor will she venture into Jinghua Lake.As for Guo Zilin and Su Xiaoying's thoughts, Wang Lin didn't care at all. Their level was too low, and they couldn't get in touch with this level at all.
Jinghu Villa is about [-] miles away from here. Walking along the lake all the way to the northwest, there is another Jinghua Lake Temple on the road. The scene is the same as what I saw before. Those who could not afford the sacrifice begged bitterly, and Miaozhu drove them away arbitrarily.
Su Xiaoying and Guo Zilin also knew that the matter was serious. If what they encountered before was accidental, how should we say it now, the Jinghua Lake stretching for three hundred miles is definitely not the only situation like these two, and I am afraid there are many such scenes.
The same is true of the villages and towns encountered along the way. They all look similar to the villages and towns visited before. The life of the villagers is quite miserable.
Su Xiaoying had a map and an approximate location, and she determined the location by simply asking the farmers on the side of the road, and quickly found the way to Jinghu Villa.
Jinghu Villa is built on a mountain ridge, which is more than ten kilometers deep into Jinghu Lake. The mountain ridge is relatively flat, surrounded by dense forests or terraced fields, and the mountain ridge is surrounded by water on three sides, like a peninsula, with extremely beautiful scenery .
And the nearest villages and towns around Jinghu Villa are more than ten kilometers away. It can be said that this villa is a paradise, alone in Jinghua Lake.
On a flat mountain, a majestic mountain villa stands. The outer wall of the villa is made of black boulders. The three walls are close to the cliff on the surface of Jinghua Lake. The tallest building in the villa is a six-story building. The tall tower, which is extremely rare in this world, shows the heritage of Jinghu Villa.
At the gate of Jinghu Mountain Villa, there are two huge black stone steles. Dragons and phoenixes are carved on the stone steles. On one side are written "Civilian off the sedan chair" in big red characters;Gives a very shocking feeling.
"Who is here?" As soon as the three of them approached the villa, someone yelled at the top of the villa's fortress wall.
"Su Xiaoying from the Zhenwei Escort, was ordered by his father's Chief Escort Su Zhenwu to deliver something, please report this to the owner." Su Xiaoying hurried forward and said.
"Please wait a moment!" The guard of the villa greeted politely, and hurried in to report.
"Niece!" Not long after, a hearty laugh sounded, and a very mighty man in his 50s came out quickly, followed by a man and a woman who were about the same age as Su Xiaoying.
The man who was walking in front of him looked like a person who had been in a high position for a long time, and there was an invisible power over him.Wang Lin observed with the Wang Qi technique, and found that this person's whole body was boiling with qi and blood, and his true yang was like an oven. He should be at the peak of his true qi state.
And the man and the woman around this man are really like Bi people, the man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is heroic and feminine.Except for Nie Xiaoxuan, Nie Xiaoqian, and Lu Di, who are her body protectors, Wang Lin has never seen such a beautiful woman.
This woman's appearance is still higher than Su Xiaoying's. At this time, she walked up to Su Xiaoying's hand with a smile and said, "You are sister Xiaoying, right? I heard Uncle Su mention you before, but I have never met. Now we finally We met. Hehehe, as my father said, my sister is so beautiful."
"Your sister is absurd, you are really beautiful!" Su Xiaoying said sincerely.
"Hello, Uncle Yue! This is what my father asked me to bring to Uncle Yue." At this time, Su Xiaoying saluted Yue Jiannan and handed over the burden.
"Xiaoying, are these two people accompanying you?" Yue Jiannan frowned and asked Wang Lin and Guo Zilin.
Both Wang Lin and Guo Zilin carried a bookcase, and there was a sword in Wang Lin's bookcase, but it looked like it was for decoration, because Wang Lin didn't look like a warrior at all.
"No, I met these two sons on the road. They admire Jinghu Villa very much, so they came to have a look." Su Xiaoying said.
"Your father is really too careless. You are a girl who has never been in the rivers and lakes. He is also relieved to let you go out alone." Yue Jiannan frowned.
"No, my father asked the senior brother to accompany me when I went out, but something happened on the way, and I can't explain it in a single word." Su Xiaoying wanted to talk about the ghost encounter in Changsheling, but when she saw Yue Yunyao beside her, her heart suddenly moved He changed the subject and didn't say anything.
"Master Yuezhuang, the late student is Wang Lin, a scholar from the Jinhua Mansion. He has traveled so far, and he came here because of his reputation. Excuse me." At this time, Wang Lin stepped forward to salute politely.
"Okay!" Yue Jiannan nodded in return, and Yue Yunyao and Yue Yunyang next to him both looked at Wang Lin, only to see that Wang Lin was wearing a green shirt, with a slender and stylish body, and she looked gentle, a standard scholar.
Seeing Yue Yunyao staring at Wang Lin, Su Xiaoying couldn't help feeling nervous, but Yue Yunyao stopped paying attention to Wang Lin immediately. , this kind of talented scholar is not very valued.
Because hundreds of years ago, Jinghu Villa no longer set foot in the officialdom, and devoted itself to developing in the Jianghu martial arts.In her opinion, she and Wang Lin will not have any intersection.
"The master of Yuezhuang, Guo Zilin, a scholar of Huiyang Prefecture, has long heard the name of the chivalrous General Yueliusu of Jinghu Villa, and also heard that the master of the villa is a hero who is eager for justice and hates evil. But unexpectedly, in the distance mirror A tragic event happened not far from Hushanzhuang, I wonder if the owner of Yuezhuang knows about it?" Guo Zilin stepped forward at this time.
"Yunyang, take these two scholars around the villa, and then go to the guest room to rest. Niece Xiaoying, follow me." Yue Jiannan didn't answer Guo Zilin's question at all, and frowned.Obviously he was not happy with Guo Zilin's questioning.
Chapter 213 Intention
"Please, both of you." Yue Yunyang, a young man who was following the owner of Jinghu Mountain Villa, waved his hands.
"Thank you, brother!" Wang Lin bowed and saluted, and walked into the villa with Yue Yunyang.
"Brother Wang, what do you think of this matter, will the owner of Yuezhuang save those villagers?" On the way, Guo Zilin asked Wang Lin anxiously in a low voice.
"Zilin, don't be too impatient, keep your mind steady," Wang Lin said.
Jinghu Villa occupies a large area, and the ground roads are paved with black stones, because it is surrounded by water on three sides, the air is humid, and the vegetation is lush. The villa is built in combination with the mountain, and the houses are distributed in a trapezoidal shape. , giving a very thick and solid feeling.
The residences of servants, farm guests, and masters in the villa are clearly separated, and the clothes they wear are also clearly divided.At first glance, it is well-trained, shaped like an army management model.
"Xiaoying, you said that your senior brother was with you on the road, and what happened to the others?" Led by Yue Jiannan, the three came to the living room where Yue Jiannan received guests, and Hou Yue Jiannan asked.
Su Xiaoying recounted the encounter with the ghost at Changshe Ridge, but omitted the process of Wang Lin killing the ghost and disabling her senior brother's martial arts.
"Are the two scholars who accompanied you reliable?" Yue Jiannan walked in the rivers and lakes for a long time, how could he fail to see that Su Xiaoying was not telling the truth at all, but he was inconvenient to ask, just asked about the topic he was worried about.
"The two sons are both modest and honest gentlemen, good people." Su Xiaoying finished speaking and continued: "Uncle Yue, we met the villagers who killed the villagers in Jinghua Lake. My niece wanted to teach that temple a lesson, but was accompanied by me. The scholar Wang Lin who came together stopped them. These people are really pitiful, can Uncle Yue save them."
"Xiaoying, tell me about what happened to you in detail?" Yue Jiannan asked.
Su Xiaoying told the story again, especially when they lurked around the lake temple at night and saw those poor people being taken away by the big boat, Yue Jiannan's face sank.
Of course, Su Xiaoying didn't say that Wang Lin took them away, she just said that they sneaked away secretly, and didn't reveal that Wang Lin was a martial arts master.It may be because of her heart, Su Xiaoying didn't want the image of Wang Lin as a stunning, talented and flamboyant master to be displayed in front of Yue Yunyao next to her.
"Xiaoying, you are tired from a long distance, let Yunyao take you down to rest." Yue Jiannan thought for a moment and waved his hands.
After Su Xiaoying and Yue Yunyao left, Yue Jiannan carefully opened the bundle, revealing a black iron box inside, and a sandalwood box inside after opening the iron box.
Yue Jiannan took a deep breath, and slowly opened the sandalwood box, revealing a small black triangular flag inside. The flag was made of something unknown, and there was an invisible breath circulating on it.Yue Jiannan gently unfolded the small flag, and a golden carp was embroidered on the black flag, which was lifelike, as if it was about to jump out of the flag.
Yue Jiannan carefully held the small pennant, turned around and bowed deeply to a picture hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall.This picture is the portrait of Yue Liusu, her face is somewhat similar to Yue Yunyao, she is an extremely beautiful woman, but she is more heroic and looks more powerful.
After bowing and saluting, Yue Jiannan seemed to have received the instructions, with a look of joy on his face, he slowly put the flag back, grasped it and said softly, "Brother Su, thank you."
"Brother Yunyang, I've never seen this building before, can I have a look?" Wang Lin was very interested in the six-storey stone building at the highest point of the Jinghu Villa while visiting the Mirror Lake Villa. .
"I'm sorry, Brother Wang. This stone building is the forbidden area of my Jinghu Villa. It is the Heroic Spirit Pagoda built for my aunt. It contains the iron coupon of the Danshu that Emperor Xia bestowed on my Yue family back then. Enter." Yue Yunyang said.
"You're taking the liberty!" Wang Lin hurriedly bowed and saluted, and at the same time, she narrowed her eyes and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the water in Jinghu Villa is very deep."
Because Wang Lin used the qi-watching technique to check the stone building before, and inadvertently shot out an aura from the stone building, with aura flowing on it, that aura is very strange to Wang Lin, it is not the aura of a god, nor is it a ghost. spirit.But the aura contained in it is extremely thick, which makes Wang Lin feel frightened and can't see through it.
"Yunyao. Xiaoying didn't tell the truth. She probably has something to hide from us. Pay more attention to Wang Lin who is accompanying Xiaoying. Xiaoying looks at him with unusual eyes. Girls who are new to the rivers and lakes are easily deceived. If something happens, we have no way to explain it to you, Uncle Su." Yue Yunyao took Guo Xiaoying back to the guest room to rest, and when she returned to the living room, Yue Jiannan instructed.
"I've seen it for a long time. Sister Xiaoying is afraid that I will steal her lover. Maybe this Wang Lin has unknown advantages, and she is afraid that I will know. Hehe, will I, Yue Yunyao, take a fancy to a sour talent? , Sister Xiaoying is really cute!" Yue Yunyao said with a naughty smile.
"You are just too smart. My Yue family has been with you for so many years, and you are the only one like your aunt. But Daddy, I would rather you be ordinary." Yue Jiannan sighed.
"Daddy is always sentimental, don't worry, my Yue family will definitely overcome this difficulty." Yue Yunyao said.
"En!" Yue Jiannan nodded, then pondered for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, let Xiaoying rest in the villa for three days, and then you and your brother will escort her home together."
"Father, you want to send the two of us away. It's fine for my brother to deliver it alone. I have to stay. At least I can still help, right?" Yue Yunyao said.
"Daddy can't lie to you, but you have to listen to daddy this time and leave the villa for a while. Even if it's for your dead mother, just listen to daddy this time!" Yue Jiannan almost begged.
"I don't have to disobey Daddy's wishes, but I must stay." Yue Yunyao said firmly, staring at the portrait of Yue Liusu hanging on the wall in the middle of the living room.
"Okay." Yue Jiannan stared at the portrait for a moment, then sighed silently and continued: "There should be news about the matter of inviting the Master Huang Mingdao, the master of the Fuqing Temple, and his disciples. I don't know if it will work?"
"There should be news tomorrow at the latest. With such a reward from our Jinghu Villa, he should come." Yue Yunyao said.
"Brother Yunyang, my little sister heard that the crabs in Jinghua Lake are unique. Is it true?" At dusk, Yue Yunyao and Yue Yunyang were invited by Jinghu Villa to entertain Wang Lin, Su Xiaoying and Guo Zilin.When the food and wine were put on the table, Su Xiaoying asked casually.
Originally, she promised to invite Wang Lin to eat lake crabs, but it seems that she didn't come.Moreover, there are no famous dishes such as carp and lake crab in Jinghua Lake, and most of them are meat produced on land, which makes Su Xiaoying a little restless.
"Sister Xiaoying, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this lake crab this year, so I can only wait for next year. This year's aquatic products are hard to describe!" Yue Yunyang didn't know how to answer, and was struggling, Yue Yunyao changed the subject.
Chapter 214
Wang Lin's heart was moved. It seems that this Jinghua Lake Lake God is very problematic. Food is the most important thing for the people. Aquatic products are one of the main sources of income for the villagers near Jinghua Lake. Including Jinghu Villa, the Lake God does not even have aquatic products. Let Jinghu Villa move.
It can be seen from this that the relationship between Jinghu Villa and the God of Jinghua Lake is not very good, which contradicts Wang Lin's original speculation. It is suspected that they are working together, but now it seems that this is not the case, which is really unpredictable.
After the meal, Yue Yunyao chatted with Su Xiaoying, and tentatively proposed that Yue Yunyang send Su Xiaoying away in three days.
"I don't want to go back. My father finally let me out once. I haven't had enough fun yet. Besides, the Temple of Jinghu Lake is so cruel to the people. We have to deal with the matter here before I think about going back." Su Xiaoying road.Of course, what she said brought Wang Lin and Guo Zilin into the picture.
Yue Yunyao is a smart person, she knew that Guo Xiaoying was unwilling to leave because of Wang Lin, so she could only stop talking and went back to report to her father quietly.
"Then stay!" Yue Jiannan said.
"Father, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Yue Yunyao asked in surprise.
"Just now I received a letter saying that your third uncle and the others have finished the matter. They not only invited Master Huang Mingdao and his disciples to come out of the mountain, but also invited Taoist Master Huang Ming's friend, a sword repairman from the Kunlun Sword Sect. , as far as I know, the Kunlun Sword Gate is the leading sect of cultivating immortals in the Great Xia Kingdom, and there should be no problem with immortals coming to help.
In this way, we may not have no chance of winning.Moreover, Xiaoying is a very stubborn girl. If you force her to go back, your brother's dull personality may not be able to take good care of her. Maybe something will happen on the way, so it's better to stay by your side for safety.
In addition, pay more attention to that scholar named Wang Lin, if you still can't figure out his details, send him out of the villa on the night of the full moon to prevent any accidents. "Yue Jiannan said.
"Did the father worry too much? My daughter has observed him closely. He is just a weak scholar, so there is nothing to be wary of." Yue Yunyao said.
"It's the same in my eyes, but that's not what I mean." Yue Jiannan glanced at the portrait of Yue Tassel hanging on the wall of the study and said indifferently.
"Guzu!" Yue Yunyao's expression changed, and she continued, "I will pay more attention to this person."
"Miss Xiaoying, what does Master Yue say? Has he agreed to stand up for those poor villagers?" The next day, the three of Wang Lin met in the garden of the guest room, and Guo Zilin asked Su Xiaoying again.
"Uncle Yue never mentions this matter, and I don't understand what he is thinking. It stands to reason that this is not his character! Brother Wang, come and analyze what's going on?" Su Xiaoying looked at Wang Lin and said.
"The water in this Jinghu Villa is very deep. You two should not leave me too far during this time, otherwise I will not be able to take good care of you if something happens!" Wang Lin suddenly lowered her voice.
Because Wang Lin inadvertently discovered that there are many bows and crossbows hidden in the fortresses around the villa, especially in the bunkers facing the cliffs. The people inside are all young and strong, and neither the elderly nor children can see it. This makes Wang Lin vigilant, and it is definitely an arrangement that something will happen.
"Ah!" Guo Zilin and Su Xiaoying were startled at the same time, as if they didn't believe it.
