Chapter 145 The Great Sword
"If you have to find a way to get this treasure, this tribute is worth taking a risk." Wusheng said intimately.
"Who is escorting?"
"According to the usual practice, a team of elite soldiers plus at least three monks." Ye Zhiqiu picked it up easily and was very clear about the staff escorted by the tribute.
"As usual practice, Brother Ye knows the tribute escort situation so well. This should not be the first time I did it?"
Haha, Ye Zhiqiu just smiled when he heard this, and everything was silent.
After listening to Ye Zhiqiu's words, Wusheng stood there and thought for a long time.
"Okay, let's make up for it?"
"One word is certain!"
"The matter has been decided, how should we divide the tribute after we get it?"
"Of course, it's half-part, I want the exercises." Ye Zhiqiu spit out the dog tail grass that was in his mouth.
"Do you want to go to Kecheng first to spend some money to find out the news?"
"It's better not to inquire about such things from them. Why don't we go and see them in person?"
"It's seven days late, but who knows that they're there now, and it's not too late to go inquire after three days!"
"Okay, let's wait in Kecheng these days."
"What kind of organization is the one selling the news? What kind of forces behind it? How did you find out so many confidential news?"
"Some people say that the court is behind it, some say that it is Guantian Pavilion, and some say that several major sects outside the country have jointly established such an organization. Alas, I can't explain the specific background, but one thing is that there must be spies from the court."
"The spies from the court, what happened to us last time?"
"The sea arrest warrant has been issued. At that time, we were both covered in faces. Where can we find it? As for the people who have heard about the news of the Perspective of Longevity, there are more people who want to deal with the Perspective of Longevity. Most of them are not showing their true faces. What we did is not a shocking thing. It is just a robbery of wealth and did not kill people. There is no treasure in the Perspective of Longevity. So, don't worry." Ye Zhiqiu patted Wusheng's shoulder, but was lost.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
"Ah by the way, Brother Ye, where is the spiritual horse beside you?"
The first two times I saw him, there was a very spiritual horse next to me. Today, I saw him alone, and I suddenly felt that something was missing.
"You said you are chasing thousands of miles away? Alas, don't mention it. I lost the bet and was borrowed by someone!" When Ye Zhiqiu mentioned the horse, he seemed a little annoyed.
After the two agreed on this matter, they left behind news of each other's stay, and then the two separated and Wusheng returned to Kecheng.
After a night, I went to the teahouse the next day. The man with the Confucian crown was still in charge of receiving him.
"The news has been confirmed that the bundle of dragon ropes has indeed been taken away by someone seven days ago. The news is indeed wrong. We are willing to return and exchange for the corresponding silver and money." As he said that, the man took out a silver note and handed it to Wusheng.
Three thousand taels and two hundred taels.
"These two hundred taels are considered compensation."
"No hurry, I want to ask for more information."
"Speaking."
"How to subdue the evil dragon within one year, no matter how far or near it."
"Please wait." After the man left, he returned only after an hour.
"Please wait two days before coming."
"Okay, then I'll wait for two days." Wusheng said.
After leaving here, Wusheng left the city and came to the Wuxi River outside the city. He found a remote place, entered the river water, and continued his practice.
The river water here is not as surging as in the Yangtze River. After sinking to the bottom of the river, he found several white bones in the mud on the riverbed.
"River Demon?" He thought of what happened when he came here today, and sacrificed to the river god, and seven people died.
Wusheng came to the middle of the river and then practiced against the current.
Not long after, he felt the surrounding river water surging a lot. Not far away, the river water became turbid. His eyes lit up, his eyes penetrated the river water, and he saw what was a hundred feet away in front of him. He saw a big fish five or six feet long swimming towards him, with blue and black all over, his eyes as yellow as a lamp, and his teeth as sharp as a saw.
"That black fish?"
He remembered the river demon who was asking in the teahouse, which was a big black fish. In the Wusheng Dharma Eye, seeing the bloody aura on the big fish's body was obviously killing a lot.
"What a coincidence, I saved you today." Wusheng smiled.
The black fish entered in front of him and opened its mouth and bit it. The fish, shrimp, aquatic plants around him were sucked by it.
Wusheng's palm, the black fish head jumped suddenly, and it was blocked from coming in a fierce manner.
Moving in the water,
The black fish's tail swept away, causing an undercurrent.
Demon subduing,
With a palm, it was powerful and strong. The river water in front of me suddenly separated from it, as if a sword had slashed by. The black fish's body suddenly turned horizontally in the water, and a large area of the fish's head was concave.
Seeing this, the black fish turned around and wanted to leave. Wusheng broke its tail with a palm, as if a person had broken his legs and could not move.
Wusheng came to its head.
He gave a tip to continue,
At this moment, the water seemed to stop suddenly. The moment Wusheng's fingers fell on the fish's head, the black fish trembled, his eyes burst, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and then his body collapsed, as if the bones in his body were pulled away in an instant and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
A little yellow light fell from the sky, passed through the river, and fell on Wusheng's body.
It was the second day when Wusheng came out of the river.
Not long after he returned to the inn where he settled, Ye Zhiqiu came here.
"What's the matter? I think your expression is a little wrong!"
"Did you not be in Kecheng last night?"
"Yes, I'm outside the city." Wusheng said the truth, not sure why Ye Zhiqiu suddenly asked about this.
"No wonder you don't know, Kecheng may not be able to stay."
"What's wrong?"
"Last night, a woman lost her skin, and a whole body was left with only a bloody corpse."
"Skin?"
"Yes, by chance, this woman's uncle is the governor of Kecheng. Now, she is searching for suspicious people in the city."
"It sounds obvious that ghosts call it! What does it have to do with us?"
"Yes, the Taoist priest of the Longevity View said the same thing, but the governor is now angry and probably won't listen. People like you and me are the key suspects." Ye Zhiqiu said and patted the great sword on his back.
This kind of dress is indeed a bit eye-catching and easily suspected.
"Brother Ye, can you close your big sword and cast a magic spell to make it smaller? It is indeed too eye-catching to carry it on your back like this."
"I think so, but this is a magic sword and a magic weapon. I have not used it skillfully yet, let alone let it change."
"You won't be robbed again, right?" Wu Sheng glanced at the sword after hearing this.
