A seal of immortality

Chapter 302 Shocking News
Chen Qiusheng didn't care about his companion's ridicule. He had seen a female ghost with his own eyes back then, and he recognized the theory of ghosts and gods very much. It's normal for others not to believe in ghosts without seeing them.

Although many years have passed since that incident, the appearance of the immortal has been deeply engraved in Chen Qiusheng's mind. However, Wang Changsheng repeatedly denied that he had been to Chenjiacun, and Chen Qiusheng also felt that he might have remembered it wrong. At the age of ten, it is normal to remember the appearance of a fairy wrongly.

Although it was possible that he had misremembered the appearance of the immortal, Chen Qiusheng kept the Guanyin jade pendant left to him by the immortal all the time, and even the bandit searched his body and did not find it.

As time passed, the sky became brighter, and the fog on the river gradually dissipated, and more than a dozen people who were waiting for a boat to cross the river came to the river crossing.

Among them, there is a group of people who are particularly eye-catching.

Seven men and two women, six men in uniform blue shirts, some with knives or guns on their backs, one of the men in blue shirts was carrying a black wooden box with a few small triangles embroidered with the word "far" on the box The yellow flag seems to represent some identity.

The remaining man was a bearded man in a blue brocade suit.

This person was tall and burly, with thick palms, bright eyes, and looked around guardedly.

In front of the bearded man, there are two young women, one of whom is wearing a purple brocade shirt, with two dimples on her beautiful face, she looks very cute, beside the girl in purple clothes, is a yellow shirt with delicate features The young girl looked younger than the purple-clothed girl.

Listening to the words of the two girls, the purple-clothed girl and the yellow-shirted girl are in a master-servant relationship. The two are talking and laughing, and they make clear and melodious laughter from time to time, which is particularly eye-catching. Even the four of Chen Qiusheng can't help but secretly watch I took a few glances.

Judging from the positions and clothes of the nine people, the seven men are obviously bodyguards, and the two young women are the objects of protection of the seven men.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hey, the boat is coming, the boat is coming."

After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the river, and they saw a small black spot on the vast river.

With the passage of time, the black spot became clear, and the black spot was a huge building ship with a height of five or six feet and a length of more than 20 feet.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the faces of Chen Qiusheng and the others showed excitement.

A quarter of an hour later, the Lou Chuan was at the ferry.

The crowd roared, and they all surrounded the past, and some people asked loudly:
"If you dare to ask the boatman, you can pass through Laizhou."

"How much money per person! Where did you pass by on the road?"

"How much money does it take for two people to go to Chushui County!

"Everyone, stay safe and don't make noise, and listen to the next one," a short and fat man in a blue brocade coat hurriedly said loudly when he saw this situation.

After hearing this, everyone had to shut up.

"Our ship passed through Jiangzhou Chushui County, Baisha County, Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Minzhou, and finally docked at the Heisha River in Minzhou. One person in Jiangzhou is 20 taels, and it is more expensive to go to Laizhou, 50 taels a piece It takes 80 taels per person to reach Dengzhou, 120 taels per person to Minzhou, and 20 taels to rent a cabin for storing cargo. Of course, delicious meals will be provided on board, so you don’t have to worry about starving,” Chunky The man said slowly.

"What? It takes 50 taels per person to go to Laizhou?"

"I came here by boat from Dengzhou two months ago, and I also took your Fengyuan company's boat, and the price was only 50 taels. After two months, you raised the price by 30 taels. It's a black heart! "

"That's right, why did the price suddenly increase, and one plus is dozens of taels."

After hearing the short and fat man's words, everyone immediately exploded and started to discuss in a hurry. Listening to their words, the price of taking a boat has increased a lot.

Among those who were dissatisfied with the price were Chen Qiusheng. The belongings they carried were robbed by bandits before. Although they got some back later, the amount was not much. The journey from Jiangzhou to the capital was still a long way away. If they spend too much at once, the remaining money may not be enough to support them to reach the capital.

"Guest officers, let me explain. It's not that our Fengyuan company wants to raise the price, but it's a last resort! Recently, there has been a water robbery on the Bailong River, and several boats have been murdered. In order to ensure the safety of passengers, We had to send more guards, the price! Naturally, it has increased a bit. To tell you the truth, except for the ships of several large companies such as our Fengyuan Company, there are no other ships on the Bailong River. Of course, if Guest officials are free, you can wait for a few months, and when the government eliminates the water pirates, maybe there will be small boats coming here," Facing the accusations of the crowd, the short and fat man was not annoyed, and explained earnestly.

The short and fat man's words revealed a few pieces of information. First, there are water pirates infested in the Bailong River; After the water pirates are eliminated, the small boats may come out to carry passengers.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.

When the four of Chen Qiusheng heard the words, they frowned, their faces were hesitant, and they didn't know whether they should board the boat or not.

"If no one boards the boat, then we'll leave," the short and fat man said with some displeasure after seeing that no one boarded the boat, frowning.

Hearing this, there was another commotion among the crowd.

"Wait, let's go," a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked along the source of the voice and found that it was a girl in purple who spoke.

"Dengzhou, nine people," the big bearded man stepped forward and said to the short and fat man with a hoarse voice.

"Let's lower the deck quickly, and let Escort Liu from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau come up," the chunky man ordered to the sailors on the ship.

The sailor immediately put down two planks, one end of which rested on the ship, and the other end extended to the ground.

"Wait, you know Liu? How do you know that I'm from the Zhenyuan Security Bureau?" The big man with beards flashed his eyes, he stopped the purple-clothed girl who was walking forward, and asked the short and fat man with a bad expression.

As soon as the big man with the beard said this, two men in green clothes immediately stepped forward to protect the girl in purple clothes. The other four men in green clothes put one hand on the weapon and looked at the short and fat man solemnly.

"Don't get me wrong, Chief Liu. I'm not a villain. Two years ago, on the [-]th birthday of Song Gang, the iron-backed lion, the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, I gave a birthday gift to Chief Song for his boss. At that time, it was Liu Escort is in charge of receiving me, Escort Liu, you drank a few drinks with me, it's not surprising that I recognize Escort Liu, but I didn't expect that after two years of absence, Escort Liu would forget me, " the short and fat man saw Therefore, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"What kind of wine were you drinking with me at that time?" Hearing the words, the big man with beards showed a memory, and asked after a while.

"My daughter is red! At that time, Escort Liu, you drank three altars of century-old daughter red, and almost made a joke on Mr. Song's birthday. It was Escort Li who sent you back to your room, why? Escort Liu forgot What happened?"

Hearing this, the big man with beards turned pale, nodded, and said: "There is such a thing, there is no problem, Song Wu, Li Gao, you two go up first, and Miss Zhao will follow."

The two men in green clothes standing in front of the purple-clothed girl heard the words, stepped on the wooden planks and walked onto the boat quickly, looking at the sailors on board with wary faces.

The girl in purple and the servant girl also walked up.

Not long after, the purple-clothed girl and her party all boarded the boat.

With the beginning of the girl in purple, many people also boarded the boat, including Wang Changsheng and five people.

Half an hour later, after confirming that no one was on board, the boat set off.

Wang Changsheng was lying on the wooden bed in the cabin, holding a book in his hand, reading it with gusto.

This "Xiaoyaolu" was written by "Xiaoyaozi", a cultivator who doesn't like cultivation but likes to wander around, and the recorded content is also the secrets and legends that he himself knows.

The destination of Wang Changsheng and five people is Minzhou, and they are still in Jiangzhou. I am afraid that they will not arrive in Minzhou in ten days and a half months. There is nothing to see on the river. Wang Changsheng felt a little bored, so he took out this book and flipped through it. Look, relieve boredom.

Not to mention, this Xiaoyaozi is really restless. Not only did he visit the hundred and nine states of the Song Dynasty, he even visited the territory of the Wu clan.

"Xiaoyaolu" has only a few records about the Wu clan, and more records of some things in the world of cultivating immortals in the Song Dynasty. Some things are Xiaoyaozi's personal experience, and some are just hearsay, but all of them are weird and rare. It is not clear whether the things that have been heard, even some secrets that the Xiuxian family has never spread, are true or false.

Wang Changsheng watched it with relish, but after a quarter of an hour, Wang Changsheng's expression was a little strange.

This "Xiaoyaolu" actually recorded a secret about the Taiqing Palace. Hundreds of years ago, a Taiqing Palace disciple surnamed Chen killed several fellow disciples for unknown reasons, stole his master's magic weapon, and escaped.

When something like this happened, the Taiqing Palace would certainly not let this person go, and sent a large number of people to round up. This disciple surnamed Chen fled all the way back to his family, a cultivating family with alchemy monks in charge.

The law enforcement disciples of the Taiqing Palace came to ask for this person. Not only did the family not hand over the murderer, they also killed several law enforcement disciples of the Taiqing Palace.

When the Taiqing Palace heard the news, it was furious and dispatched a large number of masters to razed the family's location to the ground, and all members of the family were killed. It is said that only a few people escaped.

Due to the great impact of this incident, the Xiuxian family with a longer history has recorded this incident. Xiaoyaozi heard this rumor by chance and recorded it in the book.

"My surname is Chen, a disciple of the Taiqing Palace, and killed my fellow disciple," Wang Changsheng muttered to himself, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.

Wang Changsheng thought about it for a while, and touched the storage bag on his waist with his palm, and there was a white token the size of a palm in his hand.

This is a token of the Taiqing Palace, but the place where the name is engraved is blurred, as if someone did it on purpose, as if to cover up something.

This token was obtained by Wang Changsheng from Chen Family Village. According to the old man, that is, Chen Qiusheng's grandfather, their ancestors were also immortals and left them a storage bag. bag.

In addition to the identity token, there are two red flame beads and more than 20 middle-grade spirit stones in the storage bag left by the ancestors of Chenjiacun, and the red flame beads can only be refined by the craftsmen of the Taiqing Palace.

After reading the rumor recorded by Xiaoyaozi, Wang Changsheng guessed that the ancestor of the Chen family village was, in all likelihood, the disciple surnamed Chen who killed his fellow sect back then.

Otherwise, it would be a bad idea for a cultivator with thousands of spiritual stones to go, why would he hide in a barren mountain where the aura is weak, and even build a Chen family village.

Only the pursuit of a behemoth like the Taiqing Palace can make this person have to hide in the barren hills, and even the name on the identity token has been worn off, for fear of being recognized by others and hurting future generations.

The "Xiaoyaolu" is rather vague, it only said that this disciple surnamed Chen killed his fellow sect, but did not say the motive of this person killing his fellow sect.

However, Wang Changsheng guessed that such a shocking case should be recorded in the sect. He planned to go to the Buddhist scripture pavilion when he returned to the sect to check the records on this matter.

He was a little curious, what was the reason, that this person actually ignored the sect's rules and regulations, and murdered several fellow sects frantically.

It stands to reason that after doing such a thing, this person should have fled from Song Dynasty immediately, but this person has returned to the family he was born in. The most incredible thing is that this family does not hand over this person. He also killed the disciples of the Taiqing Palace who came to arrest this person, which completely angered the Taiqing Palace, razed the family to the ground, and their clansmen were hunted down.

In order to avoid being chased by the Taiqing Palace, this person had to go to a barren hill to live in seclusion.

However, even if the ancestors of Chenjiacun were hunted down by the Taiqing Palace, Wang Changsheng would not report it to the Zongmen. Taiqing Palace.

Strictly speaking, the ancestors of the Chen Family Village were kind to him, and since everyone was dead, it would be useless even if they reported it to the sect, and it might cause him some trouble.

Thinking about this, Wang Changsheng opened the window and threw the token in his hand into the river. It is useless to keep this token, it is better to throw it away earlier.

Wang Changsheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned his gaze back to the "Xiaoyaolu" in his hand.

Just then, there were several knocks on the door.

Wang Changsheng frowned and opened the door. He was surprised to find that Chen Qiusheng and the others were standing outside the door.

The faces of the man in blue and the man in blue looked a little pale, especially the man in blue, with almost no trace of blood on his face, covering his mouth and nose with his right hand.

"What happened to the two of them?" Seeing this, Wang Changsheng asked casually.

Chen Qiusheng smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Wencai and Brother Wenxuan are seasick and feel a little uncomfortable. We want to get some air on the deck. Would you like to come together, Brother Changsheng?"

"Then let's go!" Wang Changsheng heard the words, thought for a while, and agreed.
