Pass the secret.
Between the vast sea of dark green trees, a light yellow stone pillar soars into the sky, quietly standing among the large expanse of ancient trees. The stone pillar is slightly tilted, like a gigantic finger, with a thousand-meter torso piercing obliquely into the ground of the sea of trees.
Wearing a long purple robe, Su Hefei gently landed on the top of the stone pillar and stood still. Her eyes were cold and stern, and she walked towards the tombstone in the center of the stone pillar very familiarly.
As the sun sets, the light divides the tombstone into two pieces, one up and one down, one bright and the other dark.
Su Hefei stood in front of the tombstone, staring at the inscription on it. There are only a few characters written on the white stone tablet that is as tall as a person.
"Su Xiaoxiao informed me that something was discovered on the Kongyan Mountain Range. It seems that the prophecy may be true." She whispered. "Yun Suixian from Dingshenhai will not let this opportunity go easily."
She was silent for a while, as if waiting for the stele to answer.
But the stone tablet is just a stone tablet after all, so naturally there is no possibility of an echo.
After a while, Su Hefei closed his eyes.
"Do you want me to kill her? Or let her go?"
"Xianfei, do you have to take action? Yun Suixian is his daughter after all." A light and shadow suddenly fell, also falling on the top of the stone pillar, not far from Su Hefei. He was a young man with pure temperament and dressed in white gauze.
There is a little green mark between the man's eyebrows, and four translucent cicada wings faintly appear on his back.
"You come here to see him every year, why do you have to force yourself to make this decision." The man said softly. He has an extremely handsome appearance, his face and eyes are not manly at all, but are as soft and slender as water.
"I love him, but I also hate him." Su Hefei calmly opened his eyes. "If a person does something wrong, he must accept punishment. Mingshan, you know my temper."
There was a trace of helplessness in the gentle man's eyes.
The sky gradually dimmed, and he looked up at the sky, where stars had already appeared.
"Remember the promise we made together back then
Under the grape trellis, the sun was very beautiful that day, and he gave you that purple ring inlaid with purple rhinestones. I didn't know how to make ecstasy back then, it was just the roughest mincemeat, and we all had a good time drinking it...."
Su Hefei remained silent.
The man sighed.
"No way, no way, this relationship between them should never have happened. Now I get news that her sister... is out of trouble."
Su Hefei's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Once she gets the news, what do you think she will do?" the man whispered. He didn't say any more, walked to the stone tablet, bowed and gently placed a bunch of flowers with translucent petals in front of the stone tablet.
Without any delay, Lu Sheng and Elder Zhang Shilong quickly crossed the Heiling Mountains and headed towards Fucheng at full speed.
Behind the Heiling Mountains is a big river named Hongsha. There is a big demon lurking in Hanoi, who is a demon official who has been canonized by the Great Yin, and has set up a huge formation to prevent any enlightened and wise people from flying over the Hongsha River.
Zhang Shilong took Lu Sheng in Hongsha Town by the river, and was about to hire a big boat to go to the other side. But he happened to meet a group of wealthy businessmen who were also preparing to cross the river.
This group of wealthy businessmen recognized Zhang Shilong as a friend who had made friends with him as a wealthy businessman who had pretended to be a wealthy businessman. He happened to be going to Moling City, so this group of people warmly invited the two of them to board the boat together.
Zhang Shilong took Lu Sheng and they merged and set off together.
... ... ... ...
Overboard, the water waves kept hitting and making a crisp sound.
Lu Sheng and Zhang Shilong stood on the deck, looking at the scenery on the river.
"Crossing this river is Moling Mansion City, which is different from ours." Zhang Shilong said with a smile as he looked at the river bank that was getting closer and closer. "If it were you, you would probably like that atmosphere very much."
"Oh? What atmosphere?" Lu Sheng was slightly curious.
"In terms of freedom, you have almost no personal leisure time except for cultivation, going out to experience, eating and daily necessary activities. You don't have fun, you don't like gambling, you don't like sex, you don't like drinking, you don't like making friends, what else do you do besides practicing? Not good." Zhang Shilong commented on Lu Sheng in the eyes of others.
"It would be an understatement to say that you are an ascetic monk, and other ascetic monks will make friends anyway, but you don't care about anything.
Back then, when we were examining whether you were a spy from the devil world, I specially added points to this item... The last time a devil spy is not, he won't make friends to inquire about the news. And you..." Zhang Shilong shook his head speechlessly.
Lu Sheng laughed dumbfoundedly.
"If you really want to count it, it really is."
"You are still young, you are only thirty years old, how can you do without any normal hobbies at this age? In Qiuyue County, there are not many people who can associate with you on an equal footing. It is normal to have no friends, but you should stop doing this here .” Zhang Shilong was also a little helpless. "I don't want you to have the trouble of stagnant cultivation due to mental problems."
"Fortunately, absolutely not." Lu Sheng smiled. "Elder, you haven't said yet, what's the difference between crossing this river and Qiuyue County?"
"This." Zhang Shilong stroked his chin and beard, "Our Qiuyue County is controlled by the three sects and the imperial court. It is one of the safest areas in Dayin, but in fact this is due to layers of protection. a very small range below.
Most of the areas are in the same situation as Mo Ling City. The three sects and the imperial court cannot completely control every inch of land. There are many sects and gangs, and there are many aristocratic families. You must know that in this world, there are not only three major sects that count as sects, nor are there only three major families that are aristocratic families. There are also many aristocratic families and gangs. The place where they live is most of the area outside Qiuyue County. "
Lu Sheng understood. "No wonder we came all the way, and we couldn't even meet a stronger beast monster."
"Because every once in a while there will be Yangming Army clearing up." Zhang Shilong said with a smile.
While the two of them were talking, another big boat sailed on the left side of the river, which was also a three-storey sightseeing boat like them.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe stood on the bow of the opposite ship. The man had a white tiger head embroidered on his right shoulder, with one hand behind his back and a black mace as long as his forearm in the other.
"Han Linjun!" The man's face was gloomy, his eyes were like lightning, "Get out yourself! Otherwise, don't blame a certain subordinate for being ruthless!"
His voice was harsh, and it came here from a distance of tens of meters.
Not only that, but on both sides of the big ship where the man was on, figures jumped up quickly and rushed towards the big ship.
The boss of the merchant ship was a fat man with a big belly. He was sweating profusely and rushed out of the hatch with a few pale-faced guards. Seeing this scene, his legs almost went limp.
"There is something to talk about! There is something to talk about! My fellows, let's go to Chen Kuojun. This ship only transported some silk and wine for resale. There is no such thing as Han Linjun like you said!..." In the cabin door behind the fat man , and could faintly see two girls hiding away, they seemed to be his wives.
Soon the people who boarded the ship took control of the merchant ship and began to check the board. Teams of people wearing white tiger-head clothes boarded the ship, pulled out all the people in the cabin, stood in rows on the deck, and accepted the inspection.
"See? This is the difference." Zhang Zhilin watched this scene and sighed slightly. "In Qiuyue County, the Yangming Army is patrolling again. It is safe and healthy. But outside, killing people and destroying households is just a trivial matter. As long as it is not too serious, there will be no problem."
"Is this the difference you mentioned?" Lu Sheng also understood. From his angle, he could just see the fat rich businessman negotiating with the white tiger-headed clothes on board. As for the two girls hiding in the cabin behind him, one of them was a girl in a green skirt. Although her face was tense and timid, deep in her eyes, there was not timidity, but patience, pain, and depression.
"This is the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes of Dayin." Zhang Shilong shook his head helplessly.
"I'll make dozens of voices, and if I don't come out, the boat will be burned." At this time, the clear voice of a middle-aged man came from afar on the opposite big boat.
Lu Sheng obviously saw that the girl in the green dress tightened her expression, and the hand holding the skirt became tighter and tighter. Although the girl in the white skirt beside her was also very scared, she seemed to be comforting her constantly.
At this moment, that rich businessman friend of Zhang Shilong sneaked over.
"Brother Shilong, think of a way, think of a way! This is the Tiger Gang! One of the four major gangs in the Mo Ling Mansion! You are well-connected and well-informed, and this trip depends entirely on you!" His chubby face was covered with dense beads of sweat. Obviously in a hurry.
"Don't worry, there is a solution. Leave it to me." Zhang Shilong didn't care, and easily patted the rich businessman's hand, "Go find other people first, and don't let everyone mess up. If something goes wrong, it will be fine." .”
"Brother Shilong, do you really have a way??"
"Don't worry, this matter is on me." Zhang Shilong looked leisurely. As an elder of such a large sect as Qianyang Sect, even if he is a branch, he is not something that ordinary small gangs can mess with.
At this time, the middle-aged man had already started counting.
"one."
"two."
"three."
Han Linjun's heart was flustered, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She lowered her face and grabbed the corner of her skirt tightly.
The Tiger Gang actually chased them here, it seems that they must have known that she was the one who left with the things, otherwise they would not have risked being interrogated by the Mo Ling Mansion and stopped the merchant ship so close.
"What should we do? How dare they really, really dare to strike at such a close place!?" Han Linjun lowered his head, listening to the constant counting outside, the blood in his body was frozen, and his mind went blank.
For some reason, she suddenly recalled what her father said when he finally handed that thing to her.
"We must not let the members of the Tiger Gang get that! Once they collect all the pieces, the Tiger Gang will be out of control, and they will truly overwhelm the entire Hedong!"
Han Linjun smiled bitterly, and looked at his girlfriend Lin Rui who kept comforting her. She didn't want to hurt her friend, but now...
"six!"
"seven!"
"eight!"
"Nine!"
Lu Sheng gently grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and was about to step forward. Zhang Shilong beside him stopped him.
"Let me come, you are too murderous." Zhang Shilong smiled bitterly.
Lu Sheng let go of his hand and smiled.
Zhang Shilong took a step forward, and said in a clear voice: "Zhang Shilong of the Qianyang Sect, may I ask which one from the Tiger Gang is in front of you? Please give me some face and let the boat pass."
His voice was like thunder, rolling and vibrating, shaking the people above the big ship over there. Looking from a distance, many people lost their balance and fell to the ground.
As soon as the merchant ship heard the word Qianyangzong, they all exclaimed. After the exclamation, they cheered. One of the three great Yin sects. People are here, presumably the ship and people can be kept.
Especially the chubby rich businessman, whose face was drenched in sweat just now, when he heard of such a turning point, his expression changed sharply.
In the cabin behind him, Han Linjun and Lin Rui who were standing were also stunned for a moment, then cheered and breathed a sigh of relief. I thought I was going to die before, but I didn't expect a turnaround.
Han Linjun's heart suddenly relaxed, his head was a little dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Rui supported her.
"Qianyangzong??" At this time, on the big boat opposite, the middle-aged man's face remained unchanged, and his eyes slowly moved to Zhang Shilong's side. "It turned out to be Elder Zhang of Qianyang Sect in Qiuyue County."
"It's right here. Dare I ask your name?" Zhang Shilong clasped his fists and said.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Zhang Shilong for a while.
"I'm the deputy head of the Tiger Gang, Yuan Yinxiao."
"I also ask Master Yuan to let the boat pass by for the sake of the old man." Zhang Shilong said with a smile on his face.
Yuan Yinxiao's brows slowly relaxed, and his eyes flashed. "Elder Zhang is serious, but if you want to let the boat pass, you don't have such a big face."
Zhang Shilong originally thought that by lowering his posture, he should be able to easily expose and solve the problem, but at this time, he did not expect that the other party would forcefully type back.
His face froze suddenly, and he just stood there, not knowing how to react for a while.
With his status and status, how dare a deputy leader of the Tiger Gang not give him face in person
Not only him, even the rest of the merchant ship were stunned.
