Chapter 503: Chapter 503 Rain Comes
The ship with the flag of the "Gongsun" family slowly approached. In the viewing cabin on the second floor with ventilation on both sides, there was a table of heroes drinking and chatting happily.
Gongsun Xiu held a wine glass and entertained the six newly recruited talents with a smile. These six people had good cultivation, and two of them were at the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm, which was enough for the Gongsun family to treat them as honored guests.
The one that Gongsun Xiu valued most was the old Taoist priest who called himself Qinggu Taoist.
Warriors were good at fighting life and death, but exploring cemeteries was not their strong point.
Those who understood feng shui were either Taoist priests or sorcerers. Most of the former were scammers, and the latter were rare in the world.
As for the Taoist priest Qinggu, Gongsun Xiu had already tried it and he really understood the art of feng shui and knew a little about battle formations.
"Tonight, I will rely on you to explore the Nanshan Tomb."
Gongsun Xiu raised his glass with a smile.
The warriors at the banquet raised their glasses in a hurry, knowing that Miss Gongsun was just being polite. The Gongsun family is one of the best local tyrants in Yongzhou, and has been passed down for more than 300 years. The current head of the family was a Huajin warrior many years ago.
He is only one step away from the fourth rank. Once he is promoted to the fourth rank, he will be the overlord of the world..
In addition, the Gongsun family has more than two hands of seventh-rank soul refiners and sixth-rank bronze skin and iron bones.
However, the leader of this generation of the Gongsun family is the young lady in front of him. She has a beautiful face and wears a moon-white dress with wide sleeves and a front opening. The lower body is a loose pleated skirt.
She is beautiful and gentle, just like a well-educated lady.
But those who are familiar with this young lady know that this woman has a high level of cultivation and just entered Huajin last year. In the Gongsun family, only the head of the family can suppress her.
In addition, she has also made achievements in business. The Gongsun family's industry is thriving under her management. As a Jianghu power, the Gongsun family respects martial arts, and even women can sit on the position of the head of the family.
There are countless young men in Yongzhou who are willing to be sons-in-law to the Gongsun family.
After drinking a cup, everyone continued to enjoy the food and plump crabs. Gongsun Xiu had no appetite. She looked sideways at the scenery on the lake and the large and small boats around.
Looking at the "Wangji Fish Shop" getting closer and closer, she saw a few children running out of the cabin to play on the deck.
......
"We eat ours."
Xu Qian'an said, then moved his eyes back and gnawed the crab legs by himself.
Is he going to the underground palace tonight? Find a mummy to borrow nails, venom, and corpse gas? Get some wool from the thousand-year-old corpse.
But the Gongsun family's actions gave him a headache. If they continued to make such a big fuss, the more noise they made, the more people would die.
Below the third rank, in front of the remains of the mysterious Taoist, what difference is there between chickens and pottery dogs?
When the ancient corpse grabs more and more blood, it will accumulate strength to break the seal, which will surely bring disaster to the area.
When a country is about to perish, there will be evildoers. All aspects are proving this sentence... Xu Qian'an sighed in his heart.
A silver bell-like laughter came from outside the window. Looking sideways, it was a few children who had eaten enough crabs playing outside, chasing and playing along the aisle outside the cabin.
The clothes they wore were quite good, with high-quality fabrics. I think they came from a well-off family, but they were far from being rich and powerful.
During the chase, a chubby child squeezed the girl in front of him in order to grab the road. The girl lost her balance and fell towards the lake with a scream.
Xu Qi'an put down the crab legs in his hand? A faint light appeared in his eyes, and his body suddenly disappeared? The next moment, he emerged from the shadow of the little girl and grabbed the back of her collar.
The shadow of the dark Gu jumped.
"Wow..."
The children around him looked at him with admiration.
Xu Qi'an scalped each of them with his backhand, and taught them a lesson: "Go back to the cabin. If you dare to come out and make trouble again, I will beat you to death."
The tone of his speech was full of Jianghu style.
The boat of "Wang Ji Fish Shop" also serves as a fishing boat. In order to facilitate the pulling of fishing nets, there is no guardrail on the deck, which is not very safe.
The children were beaten, and they dared not talk back, and left in disgrace.
He returned to the cabin, and not long after he sat down, a couple came over, and the woman was holding a child in her hand, who was the little girl who almost fell into the lake just now.
"Thank you for your help, brother."
The young man bowed his hands in thanks. He was wearing a fashionable long gown and looked very decent.
The young woman even wore a golden hairpin on her head.
Xu Qiyan waved his hands and said impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense. You're the one who treated me to the crabs."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The young man was stunned, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course, of course."
He thanked her several more times and went back with a smile on his face.
The little girl was pulled away by her mother. Suddenly she turned around and made a face at
the grumpy uncle.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Nanzhi felt that his mood was a little strange.
Xu Qiyan said unhappily, "Damn it, it's going to rain."
The mood suddenly became very bad.
Mu Nanzhi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked out the window. The sun was shining. Where
was the sign of rain?
........
On the other side, Gongsun Xiu, who witnessed the whole process, had a strange look in his
eyes and said:
"Everyone, did anyone see how he did it just now?"
Several crude warriors frowned and looked at each other. They did not notice the scene just
now.
When Gongsun Xiu finished speaking, they were immediately surprised. Even though everyone was knowledgeable, they could not explain it.
On the contrary, the old Taoist priest with a goatee pondered and said:
"According to the description of the eldest lady, it should be the method of the dark Gu
Department of the Gu Clan. When I traveled to southern Xinjiang in my early years, I saw their methods. They are good at jumping out of the shadows, appearing and disappearing, and it is hard to defend. Only warriors in the realm of refining spirits can restrain them." Gongsun Xiu frowned and said, "Can the methods of the Gu Clan be passed on to others?"
"Of course not."
"That person is not from southern Xinjiang." Gongsun Xiu said.
Taoist Qinggu was stunned and shook his head, saying, "Maybe I guessed wrong?"
Gongsun Xiu did not hesitate, and immediately stood up and said with a smile, "I met a master by chance. I will go over to say hello. Please be gentle."
She grabbed two chopsticks and threw them out.
The two chopsticks pierced into the lake and slowly floated out. Gongsun Xiu jumped out from the second-floor cabin. She was as light as a feather without weight, flying over the lake. Her toes touched the two chopsticks, and the chopsticks sank slightly, causing only slight ripples. But she used the force to fly dozens of feet and landed steadily on the deck of "Wang Ji Fish
House".
Far and near, all the tourists who saw this scene applauded and cheered.
Xu Qi'an also noticed this scene, but he did not realize that this beautiful woman was looking for him, and he even took the time to comment:
"Not bad, not bad, she is considered powerful among the five-grade transformation powers,
and her skills are very good."
The princess envied this ability to fly around.
If she had such means, she would not ride a horse, and her buttocks would not be sore.
Gongsun Xiu entered the cabin, glanced at the diners in the cabin, and quickly locked onto Xu Qi'an's table. She walked over with a smile on her face and clasped her fists generously:
"I am Gongsun Xiu, may I know your name, brother?"
Xu Qi'an looked at her and responded: "Xu Qian."
He changed Xu to Xu, and Qi'an to "Qian".
Gongsun Xiu smiled and said, "I am very happy to meet Brother Xu."
You are too happy too early... Xu Qian'an complained unhappily, then restrained his
irritability and said lightly:
"Miss Gongsun, is there anything?"
Gongsun Xiu said, "If you don't mind, can Brother Xu move to the Gongsun family's ship to
have a chat?"
She looked at the big ship with the "Gongsun" flag.
Xu Qian'an's heart moved. He was worried that the Gongsun family's exploration of the
underground palace would help the ancient corpse to unseal it, so he nodded immediately:
"Okay!"
Turning to the princess, he said: "Wait for me here."
Mu Nanzhi glanced at Gongsun Xiu, who looked like a willow, and then retracted his gaze and
nodded with relief: "Oh."
Gongsun Xiu, who was labeled as "willowy" by the most beautiful woman in Dafeng, smiled
brightly and said:
"Please!"
The two of them left the cabin, and Gongsun Xiu said: "I'll have someone send a small boat
over."
After that, she heard the plain-looking young man in blue shaking his head and saying: "Just go back." Gongsun Xiu didn't waste any words, nodded readily, and showed off her skills again, tapping two chopsticks with her toes, as light as a goose feather, and flew dozens of feet away, successfully returning to the deck of her own ship.
As soon as she settled down, she seemed to sense something. She turned around and saw a black shadow coming out of her shadow and turned into a young man in green clothes. Is he really from the Gu tribe? Gongsun Xiu said calmly: "Brother Xu has good means."
Xu Qian'an nodded indifferently, and under Gongsun Xiu's guidance, he entered the cabin and
came to the observation hall on the second floor.
The hall was not big, decorated in an ancient style. Five men with vigorous blood and an old Taoist priest in an old Taoist robe sat at the round table.
The six people either looked sideways or turned their heads to look over, with scrutiny in their
eyes.
Gongsun Xiu smiled and introduced Xu Qian'an to everyone.
"Where is Brother Xu from?" asked a man in the Qi training realm.
"From the capital." Xu Qian'an said.
The warriors who had no interest in him at first, their eyes lit up and they smiled and asked,
"Have you seen Xu Yinluo?"
Xu Qi'an took a seat and responded, "I've seen him a few times."
Hearing this, Gongsun Xiu joined the topic with great interest:
"I heard that Xu Yinluo is very elegant and a rare handsome man in the world."
She had heard too much about Xu Yinluo's deeds and legends. As an unmarried woman, she
was more curious and interested in the appearance of the legendary figure.
Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and sighed, "He is the best-looking man I have ever seen.
Every time I see him, I can't help but sigh that God is unfair."
The best-looking man......Gongsun Xiu's eyelashes trembled, and she muttered to herself,
"What a strange man."
Damn it, I still haven't changed my bad habit of bragging. I can't forget the lesson of the fragments of the Earth Book......Xu Qi'an reflected on himself in his heart.
Next, there was a round of flattery around Xu Yinluo. The warriors admired the famous Xu Yinluo so much that they said that without Xu Yinluo, there would be no Dafeng. The feat of regicide had spread to Yongzhou, not far from the capital. Gongsun Xiu ended the topic with a lingering feeling and talked about business, saying:
"Brother Xu, how long have you been in Yongzhou? Have you heard about the recent uproar
over the tomb? The Gongsun family is recruiting talented people to explore the tomb
together.
"I see that Brother Xu has superb skills, so I want to invite Brother Xu to explore the tomb together." The warriors at the table remained silent, and there was no objection to this. The tomb was dangerous, and it would be great if someone could share the pressure.
If you are strong, it is natural to share a share. If you are not strong, you can't blame anyone if
you die in the tomb.
Xu Qian'an did not agree immediately, and asked after pondering:
"How much do you know about the underground tomb?" Gongsun Xiu said:
"The first person to discover the tomb was a hunter in the mountain. He accidentally fell into
a collapsed cave and found a tomb in the belly of the mountain. Then the news came from Yongzhou City.
"In fact, before the Gongsun family closed Nanshan, many people from the underworld had
gone down to the tomb to explore, but no one could come back. After the Gongsun family got
the news, they organized people to go down to the tomb, but they also lost contact. I'm afraid it's not good for them.
"But we found that the tomb was built of Qinggang stone with extremely high specifications.
There must be treasures inside."
The biggest treasure there has been taken away by me, leaving only a thousand-year-old
corpse...Xu Qian'an said:
"This tomb is very dangerous. A warrior who doesn't understand geomancy, feng shui, and formations will be in danger if he enters rashly. Miss, think twice." Gongsun Xiu smiled, but did not speak. Instead, he looked at the Taoist priest Qinggu. The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled: "According to my observation, this tomb has collapsed terribly due to its age. Even if there is a formation inside, it is broken. Perhaps there are still some dangers left. The previous groups of people should have died in those few
dangers. "Therefore, this time the Gongsun family took the lead and organized us to go to the tomb together, so that everyone can get a share."
Xu Qiyan looked at the beautiful young lady of the Gongsun family and said:
"When do you plan to go to the tomb to explore?"
Gongsun Xiu said: "Tonight."
Tonight, it is just right to use this group of people to explore the way first, feel the condition
of the ancient corpse, and see how much strength it has recovered...Xu Qiyan knew that it
would be impossible to dispel the yearning of these people for the tomb with just a few
words.
He twisted the wine glass, pretended to hesitate, and said helplessly:
"I am not very knowledgeable, so I won't join in the fun. Thank you for your hospitality, Miss.
But I still want to advise you that this tomb is dangerous. If you encounter a crisis that cannot
be solved, you must read out loud: Have you forgotten the agreement with that person!" Everyone was stunned.
He looked at Gongsun Xiu again and said, "Please send me back, Miss." Gongsun Xiu couldn't hide his disappointment and arranged for someone to prepare a boat
for him to send him back to "Wang Ji Fish Shop".
Xu Qian'an stood up and left the table. When he reached the stairs, he turned around and said
with a smile:
"It's going to rain soon. It's a continuous autumn rain. Remember to bring rain gear when you visit the tomb tonight. Goodbye, everyone."
He walked down the stairs. Amid the sound of his footsteps, a martial artist in the Qi training
realm curled his lips and sneered, "Miss, you made a mistake this time. You invited a
coward."
"Cowardly, that's all. You're still being mysterious. What agreement, what rain, are all excuses to save face."
The martial artists shook their heads and made sarcastic comments.
If you're afraid, you're afraid. But this person is not only timid, but also says some mysterious
words to fool people for the sake of face.
Gongsun Xiu shook her head and raised her glass, saying, "Drink."
She was also full of disappointment. The man's conversation and temperament were different
from those of ordinary people in the martial arts world.
Everyone put this episode behind them and continued to talk and drink. After an unknown
amount of time, they heard a series of "pa pa" sounds. The warriors, including Gongsun Xiu, looked at the lake in astonishment.
The lake surface was covered with dense ripples, and heavy rain was falling, bringing a chilly
autumn mood.
This... Gongsun Xiu's eyes widened.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
What do you think?
