Chapter 394: Nine Gods Praying to the Spirit, Dragon Roaring in the Middle of the Night"Yan Ze, Tan Shuang, you two go and get some information."
The group of nine people randomly found an inn to stay in. After renting a small courtyard, Hou Yuanxi immediately gave orders.
Wait for the two to leave.
Shui Qianrou suddenly said: "I'm going to go shopping on the street and buy some food."
"Let my little disciple accompany you?"
Hou Yuanxi said.
"Okay!" Shui Qianrou waved her hand happily, pulled the dazed Xie Muxue, and rushed out of the inn again.
Song Lin sat aside and said nothing.
Just by inquiring about the news, Hou Yuanxi made three preparations.
Yan Ze and Tan Shuang are in the light, Shui Qianrou and Xie Muxue are in the dark.
In fact, she would definitely inquire about the intelligence network of Donglinxianya tonight. Although those intelligence networks were in the open here, they could not detect the information hidden under the water.
However, it can also be used to verify third-party information.
This is enough to show that Hou Yuanxi has begun to worry about the people around him. Even Jianya Xuanfeng is so strict in selecting disciples, so one can imagine the swordplay in the other four peaks now.
Half an hour later, dusk was approaching.
The people waiting in the courtyard saw Yan Ze and Tan Shuang. As soon as they arrived, Shui Qianrou and Xie Muxue arrived.
"Big sister, there is some news."
Yan Ze bowed.
"Sit down and talk."
Hou Yuanxi nodded slightly.
"Yes."
The two sat down.
Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Yan Ze spoke first: "This Nine Gods City was built three thousand years ago and is located in the southeast of the Cangwang clan's territory. The original name was unlucky, but because the Cangwang clan was prosperous, it was included in it after the expansion."
"We have been investigating for a long time, and the only reliable information is that there was a rebellion by an evil dragon three thousand years ago. It caused heavy casualties among the people in the city."
"After Prince Cang's younger brother quelled the evil, he took the opportunity to take this city into his possession and expand his territory."
"From what we know, the Cang King's territory has been expanding over the years, all using similar methods. Seven thousand years have passed, and it has more than doubled from the original 500,000 miles."
Yan Ze paused and looked at Tan Shuang beside him.
Tan Shuang immediately continued, "The person in charge of Jiushen City now is named Cang Xiuyuan. He is a descendant of King Cang's clan. He has been thriving in Jiushen City for three thousand years. He is huge and powerful."
"He has nineteen sons, all of whom are practicing in the core area of the Cangwang clan. It is said that each of them has extraordinary aptitude. It will take time to find out more information."
Hear the words.
Hou Yuanxi nodded slowly without any other expression.
The group of people were just passing through here, and they didn't need to know much about this place. The reason why they were asked to inquire was just to get a glimpse of the leopard, and to understand the current Cang Wang family from a side view.
"Little Junior Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Shui Qianrou suddenly spoke at this time.
But he saw that Song Lin's expression was strange, so he asked.
"I was wondering, is it difficult for the forces under King Cangzhou to leave the Cangzhou clan?"
Song Lin shook his head slightly, expressing his confusion.
"Little Junior Brother, you may be thinking of the incident in Sanjiang. You don't know this."
Ding Zhen has an angular face and looks like a young man, but in fact he has been practicing in Jianya Xuanfeng for more than seventy years.
He only said: "Before I entered the Immortal Gate, I lived near the Cangwang clan. Because of some trivial matters, I had a conflict with the Cangwang clan, so I fled far away."
"After they left, they stopped pursuing my affairs. Not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't."
"Why?"
Song Lin showed curiosity.
He is also very strange.
The Cangzhou Wang family is extremely powerful and has a vast territory. The power derived from this million-mile territory is absolutely beyond imagination.
result.
He wanted to get involved in Sanjiang, and he did it in a sneaky way. He first sent a nominal "concubine" and then sent an illegitimate son.
In the end, his plan was foiled by Song Lin, and he never took revenge on him.
This really doesn't seem like the style of a top force.
"because of ."
Ding Zhen pointed at himself and looked at everyone present.
"Although Donglin Xianya has not explicitly stated it, it has actually been restricting the development of King Cang's faction over the years. If they continue to expand, they will squeeze the living space of the rest of the people and will also threaten all forces in Donglin."
"now."
"After seven thousand years, the clan of King Cang has become bloated and the relationships are complicated."
"So."
"They are becoming more and more cautious in their actions, and try not to extend their hands beyond their clan territory. Especially after the Liuxian Sword Master achieved enlightenment, he had a major conflict with King Cang."
"Since then."
"King Cang's family has not expanded a city for a thousand years."
"Of course, they have been making small moves in secret all the time. For example, they have been infiltrating Sanjiang, colluding with the Song clan... There are too many of them to count in all of Cangzhou."
"I understand."
Song Lin suddenly realized, "So, the territory of King Cang's clan has been locked down. Any descendant of King Cang who leaves here will be watched by the whole world."
He couldn't help but feel secretly glad.
Back then, I had no idea how powerful the King of Cangzhou was. I just thought he was an ordinary prince outside of Sanjiang.
result.
His former name was actually "Cangzhou Holy King", which was a sacred human being. After the demise of the Li Clan, the Wine Immortal, he controlled both divine power and royal power.
If it weren't for the restriction of Donglinxianya, it would have expanded into a huge monster long ago.
Late at night.
There were four people sitting in Song Lin's room.
"Junior brother, this Nine Gods Festival is a festival that belongs exclusively to the Nine Gods City."
Shui Qianrou drank tea leisurely.
He said: "Every September 9th, the people will invite nine gods to parade through the streets, which is very lively. The nine gods each have their own duties, praying for children, blessings, a good harvest, marriage... It is said that they are very effective."
"Today is the sixth day of the seventh month, which is still two months away from the ninth day of the ninth month. However, it is said that tomorrow, the seventh day of the seventh month, the Temple of Marriage will hold a grand event, attracting a large number of young men and women, and many outsiders seeking marriage."
"Do you want to go shopping with Master Xie?"
"Uh……"
Song Lin blinked and looked at Xie Muxue beside him.
But she didn't even raise her head, just lowered her head to make tea.
He held it up with both hands: "Master, please."
"Ah."
Hou Yuanxi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled and said, "How about... I go and take a look with my junior brother tomorrow?"
"what!"
Shui Qianrou and Xie Muxue subconsciously widened their eyes.
Marriage temple fair!
The two of them went together...
"it is good!"
Song Lin agreed decisively.
He glanced at Xie Muxue, and seemed a little angry.
Hou Yuanxi: “…”
Shui Qianrou: “…”
You kid, you really agreed! After a moment.
The four of them dispersed and returned to their rooms.
Shui Qianrou tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep at all.
"Something's wrong!"
"Ever since Junior Brother returned to the mountain, the atmosphere between them has been wrong!"
"From my sharp eyes, it seems that Junior Brother is interested in Junior Brother Xie. However, Junior Brother Xie is cold and indifferent. But Senior Sister Hou got involved."
"oops!"
She suddenly screamed and covered her mouth.
His head poked out from under the covers, his eyes glistening with a strange light.
"Could it be that... Junior Brother's youthful demeanor, coupled with that incident on the Sword-Asking Cliff, has won Senior Sister Hou's heart?"
"Too!"
"Junior brother is so outstanding, young and handsome. Whether it was completing the five generations of swords on the Sword-asking Cliff, or destroying the Song clan, or what he did today, which one would not move a woman's heart?"
"Even I squeezed my legs together and almost couldn't help myself..."
"Hou Yuanxi looks like she's been frozen for thousands of years, but in fact, she's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Humph! But this is too complicated!"
"The junior uncle likes his apprentice, and the master likes his junior brother. Xie Muxue's arrogant attitude is also a bit strange. Hiss... Jealousy, a war between master and apprentice!"
Just for a moment.
Shui Qianrou has already imagined a drama of a master and disciple having a meal together.
Wow~~
A book appeared in her hands.
[The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Eternal Love]
"You idiot, I'm not going to write anymore after writing it for the first time. Let me make up the sequel for you today..."
Shui Qianrou showed a strange smile, took out a pen and began to write:
[Second World]
[She is a cold, aloof, and arrogant female swordsman. ]
[He has excellent talent, and he showed his brilliance right after he entered the sect, becoming the most sought-after swordsman seed in Liuxian Sect. The peerless swordsmanship that she had been dreaming of but could not complete was easily completed by him.]
[But she became a disciple of her mortal enemy and became his apprentice and nephew.]
[He was crazy about her, mad for her, and would do anything for her...but he only got endless coldness. She saw it with her eyes and felt pain in her heart. She looked cold on the surface, but in fact her heart was as hot as fire.]
【“Senior Sister Hou, we…can’t!”】
"Jiejiejie~~"
A lewd laugh echoed in the house.
This night.
The three people who were practicing cultivation all shuddered for no apparent reason.
'what's the situation? ’
"Is there something strange in this Kowloon City?"
It never occurred to them.
There is such a pervert as Shui Qianrou in this world, who forcibly turned the normal relationship between three people into an extreme tragic love story.
late at night.
Song Lin suddenly heard another strange dragon roar.
It seems to be ringing from the depths of the soul.
It also seems to come from the distant night sky, from some strange area.
"This Nine Gods City..."
The next day.
Shui Qianrou poked her head out of the room with a sneaky look.
"Sister Shui, you are up."
Song Lin's voice frightened Shui Qianrou so much that she trembled all over.
"Ah, yes, it's Junior Brother! Hahaha, wake up, wake up."
Shui Qianrou turned around and saw Song Lin and let out a long breath.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Song Lin just felt that she looked a little guilty.
"it's okay no problem."
Shui Qianrou shook her head repeatedly.
"Come to the courtyard, I have something to discuss with you." Hou Yuanxi's voice suddenly floated into the ears of the two.
"Yes."
Song Lin responded from a distance.
"Ouch!"
Shui Qianrou banged her head against the door in panic, and then nodded repeatedly.
"Sister Shui?"
Song Lin looked at him puzzledly.
"No, it's okay. It's really okay. Hahahaha." Shui Qianrou's face flushed and she tightly held the book in her arms.
She was panicking!
I was so excited last night that I wrote a story of 30,000 words all night long.
Now that I think about it.
The content is really outrageous.
Given Senior Sister Hou’s personality, if she knew…
hiss~~
Shui Qianrou took a deep breath, not daring to imagine the consequences.
After a while.
Nine people gathered in the courtyard.
"King Cang's men haven't come to our door yet. What do you think their attitude is?"
Hou Yuanxi sat in the first seat with a cool temperament.
The elegant yellow fir makes people dare not look directly at him.
"Sister."
Song Lin said: "If they don't come, we won't move. I think this is the attitude that my sect should have."
"Well, keep talking."
Hou Yuanxi nodded slightly, as if testing him.
Song Lin continued, "They failed to establish their authority yesterday and lost face. If we settle down here, it will be a slap in the face of the King of Cangzhou. The distinguished guests came but they passed by without entering."
"Now, they should be thinking about how to invite us to their homes to save their face."
"good."
Hou Yuanxi nodded slightly.
Several people around also nodded repeatedly.
"In terms of intelligence and strategy, we are far inferior to my junior brother." Yan Ze couldn't help but admire.
"So what are you going to do?"
Shui Qianrou asked curiously.
"It all depends on whether Senior Sister Hou intends to do this to the extreme."
Song Lin smiled slightly.
"Since they have no shame, then we don't need to give them any. They should just stay in Nine Gods City and not move an inch without asking for their permission."
"So that these people can know."
"Who is the master of the land of Donglin today?"
