Nightwatcher 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 the people in Wanlong Town and the surrounding villages. In the eyes of the people, the words of Longshen Fort are more effective than the government. .

The 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.

As time passed, even the security of Benlong Town was under the control of Dragon God Fort.

The present-day fort lord Lei has a hot temper. He can't rub the sand in his eyes. He pays attention to the rules and handles things unselfishly.

Won the reputation of a "Lei Gong".

Lei Zheng, "Lei Gong", is good at making big swords, a fifth-rank martial artist, and unlike the Gongsun Patriarch, he is a boring person who is not close to female.

I only practice knives every day, dive into the bottom of the river with a machete and swing the knife, and never go ashore without swinging it 500 times.

The people in the town said that if one day sees a certain section of the river with rough waves, 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 by his hand, his voice hummed:

"I'm going to practice swordsmanship, what are you doing, to make a long story short, don't disturb me practicing swordsmanship."

Lei Zheng has just passed 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 does.

Lei Zheng’s side is Gongsun Xiangyang, who is fond of female sex, this young **** smiled and said:

"How long will you be able to enter the fourth rank after practicing the knife for so many years?"

Lei Zheng said with a cold face: "This has nothing to do with you."

Gongsun Xiangyang hey said: "I have to guard against you, someday you will be promoted to the fourth rank, what should you do if you 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 a lot of lives. Later, because the scale of the team battle was too large, 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 large tomb in Nanshan has already been occupied by the Gongsun family. Based on the tacit understanding, Dragon God Fort will not intervene in it again unless the Gongsun family actively invites it.

Gongsun Xiangyang told Lei Zheng the situation at the bottom of the tomb and the affairs of the Tsing Yi expert.

Lei Zheng's eyes were round and round, and 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 yourself, um, if you are not afraid of death. I have found out the residence of the expert, and it is in the restaurant. He let Gongsun's family look at Nanshan. Nanshan is too big and wants It’s tight and requires a lot of manpower.

"Longshenbao and Gongsun's family are both 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 hummed coldly: "You want to go by yourself, but you don't dare, so you take my courage and share the risk."

Gongsun Xiangyang smiled, without refuting.

Lei Zheng held the knife and got up, "Wait for an hour here, I will go with you after I practice the knife."

"Why don't you put that expert in your eyes?"

"Oh, the superior is not superior, it's all up to you to say it!"

Lei Zheng remains skeptical. After all, he has never been to the tomb, nor has he eaten crabs in Yangbai Lake. Just relying on Gongsun Xiangyang's words, it seems to make him sincere?

Gongsun Xiangyang linger is bad, he only said he was an expert, but he didn't say the poem. Otherwise, Lei Zheng's attitude will be much more correct.

.............

Izumi restaurant.

On the side of the table, there were fresh poisonous weeds, a few porcelain bottles, 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 in the viper fluid and continue to pound it "pop-bang-bang".

Sitting at the window, Mu Nanzhi sniffed and frowned, "What smells, it smells so bad."

Xu Qi'an said: "Open the window to ventilate, I am making poison pills."

While speaking, he grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and threw them into the pounding pot.

Wang Hao 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 snatched the jar.

She got some venom on her fingertips, put it in her small mouth and sucked it, and then "chuck" and licked her lips:

"These venomous herbs are so powerful that they are not helpful to you. The smell of snake venom is 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 discussed this, as if they were discussing a certain kind of food they love.

"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 poison to a great extent and make it evolve."

Xu Qi'an said, took out the jade bottle containing ancient corpse venom and unplugged it.

"The taste is too strong."

Mun Nanzhi slipped away, clutching his nose.

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. Just looking at the color, one can think of toxicity.

Next, he put the mash pot on a small charcoal stove, simmered it with a simmer, and baked it until it was slightly dry, then stopped.

The next thing to do is to group them into small pills and take one pill every 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. If you change to an ordinary person here, no more than a cup of tea will definitely kill you.

Mun 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 rang, and the shop Xiaoer's voice came: "Guest officer, there are two masters looking for you."

Looking for me?

Xu Qi'an was taken aback for a moment, and calmly replied to Xiao Er: "Who?"

Dian Erdao: "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: "Please come 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 hidden master who has been in the Tao for eight hundred years is here. A power in the Gongsun family district must be the most respected generation in the family if he wants to visit.

It is impossible to send a junior or a small person in the family.

The last time, it must be the heir of the family like Gongsunxiu.

As for Lei Zheng, Xu Qi'an has 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 door latch.

Russian, 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 opened, 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. This was a wrinkle caused by a habitual smile.

Another old man is burly, with a machete on his back, with a bald head, and 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, his voice loud and powerful.

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly and raised his hand to signal: "Sit down."

At this moment, his gaze is gentle, his eyes contain the vicissitudes of time washed away, his attitude is light and windy, but he reveals 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 from Dafeng's first beauty, and sat down with restraint and caution.

Lei Zheng is about to look more carefree, looking at Xu Qi'an with full scrutiny.

He has been to the underground palace, and only circled the periphery, after all, he did not venture into the main tomb. 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 protect Nanshan and prevent anyone from entering the tomb."

Gongsun Xiangyang was also the first time he saw an expert, his curiosity was not lighter than that of Lei Zheng, he looked at it vaguely, and he didn't see any strangeness about 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 is just a little person in his eyes... Gongsun Xiangyang was shocked, he was about to speak, suddenly twitched his nose, accompanied by dizziness, he Stand up surprised:

"Yes, poisonous..."

Lei Zheng also stood up, backed up a few steps, and the two looked at the little black **** on the table.

What is this thing, just the smell 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, and these poison pills in front of you may be able to kill the fifth stage.

Xu Qi'an said it was mild and apologetic: "I just made a few poison pills and prepared them as snacks, so I put them away."

After that, 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 fifth-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 and was worried and annoyed by his previous contempt. The dissatisfaction of the superficial gentleman.

"Okay!"

Xu Qi'an put the small jade bottle into his arms.

Actually, 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 can't beat him either, because Qijue Gu is tricky and there are too many ways to remain invincible.

When I digest all these poison pills, I should be able to win the fifth rank..........Xu Qi'an thought in his heart, the surface is still calm:

"Just so, 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 wonder what the younger generation can do for the older generation."

Xu Qi'an looked at the two with warm and calm eyes:

"I would like to ask you two for help to hold the Yongzhou Martial Arts Conference, the time is set in one and a half months."

This is a method 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.

Although the martial arts conference is aimed at people from all walks of life, with the human nature to join in the fun, there will definitely be people from well-off families who will come to join the event.

The reason for entrusting the Gongsun family and Longshenbao to take the lead in this 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 in one month, 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.........can juniors ask the reason?"

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 seem unpredictable. But then I think about it, as an expert who has won eight hundred autumns in the past, suppressing the ancient corpses still needs the help of the Yongzhou heroes.

This in itself is very low-level, without 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 attractive gimmicks..."

"Why not, we two jointly set up a list of the top 100 martial arts in Yongzhou, and invited all the heroes of Yongzhou to take a written test and order rankings. This is an irresistible temptation for those who like reputation.. ......"

"There must be heavy rewards..."

Gongsunyang 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.

Munanzhi sat on horseback, looking around. 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, this is clearly shown.

The clothes of pedestrians are not glamorous, and the styles and materials are relatively ordinary.

But the rice wine in Fuyang County is famous throughout Yongzhou.

Xu Qi'an came here to drink, and the princess also likes to drink, so he gladly agreed. The two of them walked the rivers and lakes, wherever they went, they could eat and drink.

Passing a small river, there is a slate bridge on the river, white walls and black tiles, and small bridges with flowing water. If there is more mist and rain, 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 is diving, somebody is diving!"

He and the princess looked sideways together. Upstream, a woman drifted up and down with drinking water. Her situation was extremely critical.

Pedestrians on both sides of the strait may point to the woman, or find a bamboo pole to reach the woman, trying to rescue.

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~IndoMTL.com~, 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 surface of 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.

"Plop!"

He plunged into the cold river water and swam hard towards the woman.

Of the seven abilities of Qi Jue Gu, none of them can fly.

There were 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 when the drowning woman was picked up, Xu Qi'an thought like this.

"Lady, 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 was unconscious.

She was pale, her features were quite good, and she was a very beautiful little woman.

Xu Qi'an patted her back with a palm.

"Oh..."

The woman spit out a large 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 Jiazi's wife."

"What a good dive."

"Hey, she is a poor man..."

The surrounding people whispered.
