Junior Disciple C

Chapter 73

"What's going on in Beihai City?" Hao Chen asked again.

"My lord, you have a lot of things to do every day. I don't remember. 300 years ago, in order to increase trade with the human world and facilitate the settlement of the Beiming tribe in the human world, Prime Minister Gui chose this island to establish Beihai City."

"Then assign me, the second uncle's cousin of the distant cousin of No.11 Fangzhu under the command of No.[-] Fangzhu, to come to the world to manage Beihai City. This matter was reported to you, and you agreed at that time." Mr. Crab explained.

Hao Chen covered his forehead with a headache. Because of the crab family's excellent reproductive ability, the relationship between relatives is very complicated, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

But this big crab can tell the name of the third sea lord, so it should be true.

As for why he doesn't remember at all...it's actually quite normal, after all, he doesn't even know how much money he has, so how can he remember such trivial things.

It is estimated that he didn't listen carefully to Prime Minister Turtle's words at that time, so he just nodded and fooled it.

Now that he has figured out the origin of Beihai City, Hao Chen stood up, straightened his sleeves, and praised his subordinates: "This time I did a good job. My identity must be kept secret. Don't let the people I'm traveling with Know."

"Yes." Boss Crab replied.

Hao Chen left the first seat, but he didn't intend to find Feng Ye. Since he came to his lair, he happened to have something to do and needed to contact Prime Minister Gui.

Beihai City is Beiming's residence in the world, so there is naturally a way to contact Beiming. Boss Xie has already prepared everything he can think of in order to please this lord who rarely comes here.

In the main hall where Hao Chen and Boss Crab were talking, there was a shelf made of coral in the center, and on the shelf was a pearl the size of a watermelon, whose volume was the pigeon egg in Fang Yang’s hand. I don’t know. how many times.

Pearls can indeed be used as a material for refining medicine, but it is enough to use small pearls to make them. Generally, pearls the size of a fist or more will be used for another purpose.

Because of its clear material, pearls are an excellent material for displaying images. Some pearls have been refined into instruments that can record images, while others have been made into communicators.

The big pearl in front of me is the latter. Not everyone has the ability to open the communication channel between the two worlds by finding a calm lake like Hao Chen. Beihai City has always relied on this big pearl to communicate with the upper world.

Anyway, there was a ready-made communicator in front of him, and Hao Chen didn't bother to bother, so he picked it up and used it directly, but before he contacted Prime Minister Gui, he suddenly remembered something.

"Crab eighteen is your cousin?" Hao Chen asked the big crab not far away.

"Yes, he is my number 18 cousin." Boss Xie didn't understand why the Lord suddenly mentioned his little cousin, but he answered honestly.

"Oh." Hao Chen gave a meaningful "Oh", and then waved his hand: "He has too much talk, go and cook him for me."

Mr. Crab: "..."

Because of the shock, a bubble was unconsciously spit out from the opened crab's mouth. The bubble floated into the air, and then burst with a "bang".

Boss Crab came back to his senses at the same time, although he didn't know where his little cousin had offended the Lord, but he immediately begged for mercy for Xie Shiba: "Master, my cousin doesn't know Taishan, what an offense, I will definitely educate him when I turn back, and I implore the Lord to let him go."

Hao Chen made a thoughtful look, just when Boss Xie thought there was something to be said about this matter, Hao Chen said suddenly: "Then let's steam it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, put his hand on the pearl, input a little spiritual power, activated the communication circle engraved inside the pearl, and never glanced at the big crab behind him.

This is very obvious, and his decision is not negotiable.

Hao Chen is still obsessed with the fact that Xie Shiba exposed his black history in front of Feng Ye. It's okay if he doesn't think about it. He just wanted to contact Prime Minister Gui. In fact, it wasn't the tortoise's business, so he thought of a series of stupid things he had done.

He also knew that referring to a turtle as a tortoise was stupid, but after doing everything, what else could he do, of course, with his subordinates, he had the cheek to say that the prime minister tortoise was a tortoise, and refused to admit it.

This was originally Bei Ming's tacit secret, but Xie Shiba's talkativeness broke the matter, and Hao Chen's thick skin had no place to put it. Although killing Xie Shiba would not save anything, but It was really hard for him to swallow this breath if he didn't kill Xie Shiba.

"Yes..." After a moment of silence, Boss Xie finally responded, but his voice was full of reluctance.

But it doesn't matter if you don't want to, after all, it's the order of the Lord, and Boss Xie can only obey it.

He sighed, saluted Hao Chen and left, leaving the hall to Hao Chen and Prime Minister Gui on the other side of the pearl to discuss matters.

Hao Chen didn't care about the big crab's thoughts. He heard the movement of Mr. Crab leaving. When the palace door was closed, the blurred image on the pearl finally became clear.

Prime Minister Gui appeared on the video, and saluted Hao Chen slowly.

Hao Chen still stopped it like last time, he didn't want to waste time.Obviously the owner of the tortoise shell shop is a genuine tortoise, but he moves very quickly.And Prime Minister Turtle is not a tortoise, so his movements are so slow.

Hao Chen couldn't figure out this question.

Because he didn't know the good intentions of his subordinates, in order to maintain Hao Chen's face, everyone firmly unified their voices, saying that the tortoise prime minister is a tortoise.

In order to show that he is really a tortoise, Prime Minister Gui intentionally imitated the habits of tortoises. Everyone said that tortoises move slowly, so he deliberately slowed down his movements. Over time, he developed such a slow-moving attitude. look.

It's a pity that Hao Chen never realized this, and thought it was Prime Minister Gui's personal problem.

This time he still didn't realize it.

Hao Chen knocked on the small fan intermittently, and asked, "How about the thing I asked you to check last time?"

Last time he asked Prime Minister Turtle to find out if there was a name "Feng Ye" in the Heaven Realm. Although he had experienced many things in the past few days, he was full of plans, and it took less than a week. He actually didn't have much hope that Prime Minister Turtle could Find out the results in such a short time.

Prime Minister Gui didn't give him any surprises, and shook his head: "No. The people I sent haven't sent back the news yet."

Not at all unexpected.

Hao Chen thought for a while, then suddenly asked another question: "By the way...what's happened to Ying Long in the South China Sea recently?"

He didn't think that Feng Ye was Ying Long, but Feng Ye was tracking down Jian Mu, and Ying Long had participated in Jian Mu's matter, but he still had Ying Long's shadow in the current matter.

So he asked Prime Minister Gui, wanting to see what Yinglong was doing recently.

"This..." Hearing this question suddenly, Prime Minister Gui was a little surprised. He thought for a while before replying: "I haven't heard that he has made any big moves. He seems to be staying quietly in the South China Sea."

Saying this is as good as not saying it, the surface is quiet, maybe he has secretly gone somewhere to stir up wind and rain.

"Don't let go of the investigation. At the same time, pay close attention to Ying Long's movements. If there is any situation, let me know immediately." Hao Chen ordered.

"Yes." Guicheng replied.

After finishing talking about serious things, let’s talk about something... It’s not too serious. Hao Chen spread out the small fan in his hand. He opened his mouth wide in surprise: "My lord, your..."

This small fan looks like an ordinary folding fan, you can buy it with a few copper coins on the ground in the world, but Guicheng is very clear about the details of this seemingly ordinary folding fan, it is clearly transformed by the tail feathers of the Lord.

But right now, the folding fan, which was supposed to be indestructible, broke.And the fracture is very smooth, as if it was cut off by some sharp weapon.

But who can cut off the feathers of the Lord of the Northern Underworld?Prime Minister Gui couldn't believe it, he almost suspected that he was hallucinating.

Hao Chen nodded in pain, and helped Prime Minister Gui confirm that it was not a hallucination, but he didn't explain why the fan broke, and only ordered: "Go to the storeroom and get another fan and hand it to me, move quickly!" At one o'clock, I will leave Beihai City in two days."

After all, Beihai City is not a place for humans, and all major sects are only planning to stay here for three days.Today is almost over, so there are only two days left.

Two days later, he naturally returned to Lingxiao Sword Sect with Feng Ye.Hao Chen, who was disguised as a disciple of Tiangong Pavilion, thought unconsciously.

I haven't been to Tiangong Pavilion once, and Lingxiao Jianzong is about to come back for the second time.

Prime Minister Gui has served for many years, and when it comes to understanding Hao Chen's temperament, even if he is not number one in Beihai, he is not far behind.

Therefore, at a glance, it was clear that the Lord had no intention of explaining, so he wisely refused to ask, and only nodded to accept the matter.

"One more thing." When Hao Chen mentioned this matter, his expression was no longer the usual, with a faint smile on his lips, and he didn't know what good things he thought of.

Prime Minister Turtle looked at Hao Chen's expression, and felt that the Lord's expression was very much like the restless young sea people in Beiming's estrus season. I couldn't help but make such a silly smile when I saw the gift scene.

No, no, how can you think of the Lord like this?

As soon as this idea came up, Prime Minister Turtle strangled it in the cradle, the Lord is not young, how could he be as naive as a brat?

Moreover, Hao Chen has lived in Beiming for a long time, and his heart is like Beiming. There is only ice and snow that will not melt for thousands of years, and the rippling spring breeze has never blown this extreme northern sea.

The Lord is not that naive, and he will not be tempted by anyone.Prime Minister Turtle thought very positively.

However, what Hao Chen said next made him more and more uncertain.

Hao Chen talked about the previous few things in a very short time, and it was over in a few words. Now when he talked about the last thing, he babbled for a long time, detailing everything, and told Prime Minister Gui until late at night without finishing his instructions.

The main hall is brightly lit, and a small side hall next to the main hall is also brightly lit.

Hao Chen and Prime Minister Gui had a meeting in the main hall, and Boss Xie and his crab relatives had a meeting in the small side hall.

"It's not easy for the Lord to come to Beihai City once in a while. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to perform. In the next two days, we will notify all the local vendors to ensure that the Lord can enjoy shopping comfortably." Boss Crab summoned him. All the relatives of the crabs, I asked again with worry.

While sending Crab Nine to invite people, he issued a summoning order to all the crabs on the island, just to remind all the crabs to be careful and not to offend the lord.

However, he was still one step too late.

Boss Crab talked for a long time, and felt that he had given all the instructions he needed, so he waved his pincers to break up the meeting, but before the crabs left, Boss Crab suddenly stopped Shiba, "Shiba, stay here for a while. "

Crab Eighteen's two pincers are stiff. Just now, while the boss of Crab was in a meeting, he also showed all the crabs a portrait of the Lord, in case some crabs couldn't recognize him.

It was only then that Xie Shiba discovered that he had already contacted the Lord, and he revealed the secret that was not actually a secret in front of the Lord.

He stood tremblingly until now, and didn't listen much to the content of the meeting. At this moment, seeing his cousin suddenly calling him, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

The cousin's performance verified his conjecture, and Mr. Xie walked up to Xie Shiba, and heaved a long sigh.

This tone took away the courage of Xie Shiba, and he asked tremblingly: "Is the Lord blaming..."

Boss Crab spat out bubbles heavily, expressing his affirmation.

"How will that master deal with me..." Xie Shiba was almost shaking into pieces.

Boss Crab didn't say it clearly, but that heavy look said everything.

The eight claws of Crab Eighteen suddenly lost strength, and lay down on the ground, closing their eyes and seeing that they were about to faint from fright.

"Don't get dizzy yet!" Mr. Crab hurriedly stopped, and he used the pliers to pull Crab Shiba up from the ground again, and said earnestly, "Shiba, young people will always make small mistakes, you should learn from them .”

"I want to be a warning, but I don't have a chance, cousin..." Xie Shiba, who was forced to lift it up, wept.

"It's not like there's no chance." Boss Crab looked around while speaking, and after making sure that all the crabs had left, he suddenly whispered to Crab Eighteen: "You should have heard of the three treasures of our crab family."

Crab Eighteen spit bubbles. As one of the races with a long history, there are three treasures in the crab family that protect the safety of the group. As a member of the crab family, of course he has heard of it.

"One of the three treasures is a hidden snail that can isolate any detection spells and tracking." Boss Crab continued.

Crab Eighteen was inexplicable: "Cousin, what are you talking about? The three treasures are all kept by the Crab Commander. What does it matter to us?"

"Listen to me!" The boss of Crab impatiently knocked on the shell of Crab Eighteen with his pliers, and then closed his mouth before continuing: "300 years ago, Prime Minister Turtle sent me to the lower realm. At that time, Commander Xie was worried that I was not strong enough, and I was in danger, so he handed over this hidden snail to me, now..."

Boss Crab suddenly walked to the cabinet in the corner of the side hall, then unlocked the cabinet, and took out the white conch, which was not as big as his pliers.

He handed the conch to Xie Shiba: "You become smaller, then get into the conch and pretend to be a hermit crab, so that even the Lord can't find you."

"Cousin..." Xie Shiba held the conch with tears in his eyes.

After being moved, he resolutely refused: "No, I'm leaving, cousin, how do you explain to the Lord?"

Boss Crab waved his pincers very casually: "It's not like you haven't heard of your lord's memory, but you just brushed off his face for a while, so he was a little angry, and he forgot everything after he fell asleep."

Crab Eighteen: "..." I have to admit that the Lord is really such a fish.

"There are policies and there are countermeasures. Even if the lord still remembers such a trivial matter, I will tell him that you have been executed on the spot and the corpse is fed to the fish." Boss Crab patted the shell of the little cousin, It means that Xiba Shiba doesn't have to worry about himself.

That being the case, Xie Shiba didn't have any worries anymore, sooner rather than later, he took the conch and bid farewell to Boss Xie, saying: "Then cousin, I'm leaving first, I'll go outside to find a place to avoid the limelight, and wait for the respected one to wait." The Lord has gone and I will come back."

"Well, let's go quickly." The crab boss said while acting, escorting the crab eighteen all the way to the outside of the hall.

"Be careful, don't let anyone see you!" In the voice of Mr. Crab's warning, Crab Eighteen disappeared into the night and walked away from the market.

Although the night market in Beihai City is not as lively as it is during the day, there are not fewer pedestrians walking on the street.

Bearing in mind his cousin's advice, Xie Shiba carefully avoided pedestrians, and went wherever there were few people, until he reached the beach, where there were only undulating tides and strangely shaped reefs.

It’s okay to come during the day, but for human beings, it’s a bit dangerous to come here at night when the sight is poor, and they might be hit by some rocks, so there is no one here right now.

Crab Eighteen is going to go into the sea from here. After diving into the deep sea, he hides himself in the shell to avoid these few days.

However, before he actually went into the sea and was still walking on the reef, someone walked over to this supposedly deserted beach.

It was so sudden that Xie Shiba had no time to find a place to hide, so he quickly took out the hidden breath snail given by his cousin, put it on the ground, and then got smaller and got in.

All traces related to Xie Shiba disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Here there is only the sound of the restless waves.

With a "gudong", Xue Ren kicked the white conch at his feet into the sea water.

The conch made a brief splash, then was swallowed by the waves and disappeared without a trace.

But after the high tide subsided slowly, the conch was exposed again, staying intact on the beach.

Seeing this scene, Xue Ren was instantly reminded of bad memories.

Cao Zirui was like the conch he kicked into the sea. He was destined to sink into the sea, but unexpectedly, when the sea receded, he reappeared!

Xue Ren was upset when he thought of this incident. Although he promptly blamed Moxiu for this incident, the depression of failure and the heartache of losing a heavenly magic weapon often lingered in his heart.

He was in a bad mood all day, and he didn't go shopping in the market. He came to the beach to relax in the middle of the night.

The more scattered the less happy.

It is said that if you like a person, you can think of him no matter what you see, but if you hate someone, you can think of him no matter what you see.

Xue Ren proved this point with personal experience.

He wished to cut Cao Zirui into pieces, why, everything belonged to his little brother?The master's love, the rare talent in a century, the swordsmanship of Ling Xiao, etc., are all given to Cao Zirui!

What's more, his master even intended to pass on the headship to Cao Zirui!

This is something that Xue Ren absolutely cannot bear. He has been a teacher for more than [-] years. Since he established his foundation, people always say that he is young and promising, and he is destined to be the next successor.

Xue Ren modestly refused on the surface, saying that he was still far behind, but in fact he thought so, and he should be the next head.

Even though the master has never promised anything, Xue Ren has already confirmed this matter in his heart. He is the only disciple of the master. If the master is not passed on to whom?

He started at the age of 15 and became a golden core at 35. He is a leader among his peers and a well-deserved genius.

He was supposed to be prosperous, but he continued to maintain his reputation as a genius, and after he really stepped into the realm of the Nascent Soul, he began to take over the affairs of the head of the sect.

He was so envious of other people's lives, everything was disrupted by Cao Zirui.

But in one year, everything that belonged to him was snatched away by Cao Zirui.

Why?

Did Cao Zirui have an extra eye or an extra arm!

Why do you just take away what should belong to him so easily!

The more Xue Ren thought about it, the angrier he became, he lifted his foot and kicked the rock beside him.

He used a lot of force with this kick, and the hard reef instantly became torn apart.

Xue Ren stood on the spot, his chest heaving up and down, his emotions still haven't calmed down, he felt itchy when he thought of Cao Zirui's innocence that took everything from him.

However, he failed this time with such a costly ultimate move. Although the master didn't seem to doubt it, he shouldn't do it again in the short term.

He couldn't do much other than vent on this deserted beach.

Xue Ren slowly recovered his breathing. He was about to go back, but he didn't like to relax, so he might as well go back.

However, as soon as he took a step, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The waves rolled up and washed the reefs on the shore.

On the reef that should have been empty, stood a dark human figure.

He couldn't see his face clearly, because the other party was covered under a black robe. Xue Ren could only use the moonlight to see clearly the iron mask that reflected the cold light of the man with his robe exposed.

Xue Ren was a little horrified because of the sudden appearance of this man.

It seems that Xue Ren, who is only in the foundation building stage, shouldn't feel any fear at all.But Xue Ren was still terrified, because he didn't realize when the man approached him at all.

Even if he was angry, he would not ignore the movement around him. He knew very well that he had not heard even the slightest sound.

Including the breathing sound of living people.

The man seemed like a ghost that suddenly appeared. His black robe fluttered with the sea breeze, and the black pupils exposed under the iron face stared at Xue Ren for an unknown amount of time.

The other party came for him.Xue Ren clearly realized this.

I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend, a human or a ghost.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to speak first, Xue Ren tried to ask, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

While speaking, his hands were hidden in the wide sleeves, and he was holding the pinched formula in his palm, ready to strike at any time.

The man stared at Xue Ren and remained silent.

"Crash." There was another wave of waves crashing past.

Just when Xue Ren thought that the other party would not pay attention to him, the man suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice as if it had been smoked by fireworks: "I'll help you."

"Help me?" Xue Ren repeated in surprise.

Immediately, his expression turned into a sneer, and he pointed to himself: "Do you know who I am? The head disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect, he can do whatever he wants, what are you, and you just say you want to help me? "

"Hehe." A burst of low laughter suddenly came from the direction of the man, which was different from the previous hoarse voice, this one was deep and full of magnetism.

Xue Ren frowned. There was only him and that man here, so the one who laughed could only be the other party.But the difference between the two voices before and after is too great, and it doesn't seem to be from the same person at all.

However, he has also heard that there are some people in the world who are good at ventriloquism, and they can imitate lifelike old men, immature children, or tactful young girls.

Maybe the other party is just a psycho who likes to change his voice.Xue Ren thought to himself.

"Do you also have the head of the sect?" the deep male voice asked with a smile.

Xue Ren's expression froze for a moment, and then suddenly became gloomy. This man could hardly open any pot.

However, this also shows that the other party's target is really him, and even inquiring into the internal situation of their sect so clearly, he hit his heart with one word.

"What else do you know?" Xue Ren asked in a bad tone.

His appearance in front of people has always been that of a humble and kind elder brother. No one has ever known that he cares so much about being the head of the sect, but the person in front of him knows.

Xue Ren could not help but suspect that the other party knew more secrets.

"It's nothing." It was still the deep male voice, and his tone was very casual: "That is, you sent someone to set up a trap in the secret realm of the floating island to persecute your junior brother, but the persecution failed and you lost everything."

Xue Ren's face was completely distorted. What he thought he had covered up was just being said.

Regardless of whether the other party is a human or a ghost, he will definitely not be able to let the other party go tonight.

It's just that before he actually did it, he wanted to ask why the other party knew it so clearly.

"I've never heard what nonsense you're talking about." Xue Ren retorted coldly. Instead of admitting it directly, he cleverly set up a trick to attract the other party to explain himself.

"Hehe." The man laughed again, and he saw through what Xue Ren was up to at a glance, but he didn't expose it either, and instead cooperated with him and gave a hint: "Fen Tian Gong."

Burning Sky Bow? !Xue Ren's thoughts turned, could it be that this magic weapon has something to do with the other party?If the other party can know everything that happened around Fen Tiangong, then all the invisible schemes of him and Lu Chengye will not be a secret to the other party.

The man didn't care what kind of turmoil Xue Ren had created in his heart. After giving the reminder, he continued his topic and said, "Xue Ren, do you think that you can sit back and relax without proof of death? It's too stupid."

Xue Ren didn't answer, but his flickering eyes revealed a little shaken.In fact, he was not at ease all the time, always worried that Master would find out.

But he thought over and over again, but he couldn't think of any ironclad evidence that could directly point to him. Even if the person in front of him released the truth, he could still bite back and say it was slander, which was not enough to bring him down.So after a while, his eyes became firm again.

Seeing this, the man smiled and asked back: "So what if there is no evidence, does your master suspect that you need evidence?"

The man pretended to be regretful and said: "Your master was partial to your junior brother. Now that it's over, he has become suspicious. It is definitely more impossible for him to pass on the position of master to you. Xue Ren, you have served master for more than 20 years. Junior brother picked the fruit, poor...hehe..."

At the end of the conversation, the man couldn't help but laughed again.And the meaning of the sentence is obviously pity, but when it is said in a man's mouth, it can be as much ridicule as it needs to be.

Xue Ren's fists were clenched, and the man's words hit the heart of his heart, precisely hitting the reason why he wanted to kill Cao Zirui.

At this moment, he was once again murderous, and he wanted to completely shut the mouth of this ignorant thing.

However, before he could actually do it, the hoarse voice that disappeared after just one sentence at the beginning spoke again: "I can help you get the position of master."

This sentence made Xue Ren pause.

He was moved.

If the other party can really help him obtain the position of leader, then he doesn't mind cooperating with the other party. He is worried that he will not find a chance to attack Cao Zirui again.

It's just that, to help, you have to see if your own ability is enough.

Although the other party behaved mysteriously, his cultivation was very clear. Only during the foundation building period, a monk who built the foundation said he would help him get the head of the Lingxiao Sword Sect?

Not self-sufficient.

So Xue Ren asked contemptuously, "You? I'm afraid you're not qualified."

At the same time as his voice fell, the deep laughter sounded again, and a black mist suddenly began to spread around the man.

Seeing this strange scene, Xue Ren couldn't help taking a step back. He saw a steady stream of black mist emerging from the man's sleeves and neckline, baring his teeth and claws as if alive.

Although there was still a distance of more than ten meters, but he felt an inexplicable sense of fear just seeing the black mist.

The eerie black mist gathered around the man, and slowly, it took the shape of a person.

And the low laughter also transferred from the man to the black mist.

It was only then that Xue Ren realized that those two completely different voices were not ventriloquist, but two people at all!

The human figure formed by the black mist became more and more clear, and the facial features were all described to be exactly like real people.

Xue Ren's eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed, and he could not speak. He was terrified because he saw his face exposed under the black mist.

The face is exactly the same as that of the gods high above the clouds a hundred years ago.

"Am I qualified enough?" God walked out of the black mist and asked with a smile.

The author has something to say:

Surprised or not? =w=
