Chapter Nine Chapter Eighty-Nine You Are Really Talented
Six days later, the luxurious two-masted ship arrived at Dengzhou Pier safely.
It was the dock where we left Kyushu that day.
After bidding farewell to Hong Zhenhai, Su Wangting stared blankly at the still busy dock, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
When I was at this dock again, I no longer saw the petite figure that always followed me next to me.
After Bai Kui learned that she left without saying goodbye, she didn't know what would happen.
"Oh, that little ancestor."
Su Wangting smiled bitterly and shook his head, then turned and went to a small village not far from the pier to pick up the horse that he had fostered there when he left that day.
I took the horse and headed west.
He wanted to go back to Huanyan Pavilion in Muzhou first to see if everyone was okay, and also to inquire along the way to see if anyone knew where the Black Water Pond was.
But to his disappointment, after more than 20 days of walking and asking around, no one had heard of Black Water Pool, but he had heard a lot about the recent news about the Jiuzhou Jianghu.
News of Nie Yunfei's death has spread throughout the martial arts world. Although the crisis has been resolved, the activities of the four famous sects in the world have not increased, and they appear to be somewhat lifeless.
After Tianlan Peak was bloodbathed by Su Wangting, its vitality was severely damaged. After Fei Wei took office as the leader, he announced that he would no longer be involved in the Nine Chapters of Tianji, nor would he act with any sect. He only recruited disciples and ordered them to practice diligently, intending to
Revitalize the sect.
Tieshan Temple was very dissatisfied after learning that Tianlan Peak would no longer let him lead the way. He heard that they had sent monks to negotiate with him, but they were so unhappy that they almost started fighting.
It can be seen that the bloodbath at Tianlan Peak deeply stimulated Fei Wei, and it also shows how determined he is to prevent his sect from committing any more unjust acts.
It seems that Su Wangting has taught Tianlan Peak a profound truth - those who do evil will surely die.
Completely baptized with blood.
As for Tieshan Temple, which lost more than fifty elites in the battle with Bai Kui, its vitality was severely damaged. Therefore, it has been less dictating to various factions recently and has not seen any large-scale activities.
Although he knew that there were pieces of white jade in Huanyan Pavilion, he was afraid of Mu Shilan and Su Wangting, so he did not dare to take any action for the time being. He only occasionally sent some scattered monks to investigate near the sect of Huanyan Pavilion.
On the contrary, Luoxiatan and Cuiyougu have become much more confident recently. After all, the vitality of these two sects has not been damaged, and they have acquired the inner strength and mental methods of Tieshan Temple. The strength of the sect has greatly increased, and it seems that they are not afraid of Tieshan Temple.
But he didn't dare to invade Huanyan Pavilion.
Just because they were more afraid of Su Wangting and Mu Shilan than they were of Tieshan Temple.
So they were just planning secretly and getting ready to make a move.
After returning to Huanyan Pavilion, Su Wangting was greatly relieved.
The internal skills and mental skills of Shuanghua Palace, the Thunder Sword Style improved by Mu Shilan, the Qinggong body skills of Luoxiatan, and the hidden weapon skills taught by Murong Yunxiu, all these have greatly increased the cultivation level of the female disciples of Huanyan Pavilion.
On a whim, Su Wangting randomly selected a few female disciples to challenge him. As a result, he was delighted to find that the cultivation of these female disciples was almost comparable to that of the monks at the Luohan Hall of Tieshan Temple.
This made him sigh in relief.
The female disciples' cultivation has advanced so rapidly that even if one day she and Mu Shilan leave Huanyan Pavilion, other major sects will still be wary of them and will not dare to attack them.
After only staying in Huanyan Pavilion for three days, Su Wangting resigned and wanted to continue to inquire about the whereabouts of Black Water Pool in the rivers and lakes.
Although Qingwen was extremely reluctant to give up, she also knew that she could not keep this man, so she just told him to be careful and wait for him to come back to get the white jade piece.
Everyone was sent to the foot of the mountain. Su Wangting was about to get on his horse and leave, but Mu Shilan smiled evilly and said: "If you promise me something, I will tell you good news."
Su Wangting said blankly: "What good news? Are you going to get married to Miss Murong?"
Mu Shilan shook his head: "No. Blackwater Pool."
"Do you know where it is?" Su Wangting asked anxiously.
Mu Shilan nodded slightly, but continued to smile evilly and did not answer.
Su Wangting frowned: "You guys...didn't you tell me earlier? What do you want me to promise you?"
Mu Shilan smiled more and more proudly.
Murong Yunxiu kicked him on the butt and shouted: "Since you know, just tell Mr. Su quickly!! Why bother with that!!"
Mu Shilan touched her butt and pulled Murong Yunxiu to whisper.
Murong Yunxiu nodded repeatedly, and together with Mu Shilan, he smiled evilly at Su Wangting and stared at him with evil intentions.
"..." Su Wangting was all hairy when they looked at him, and the corners of his eyes twitched, "What are you doing? Are you going to say it or not?"
Mu Shilan coughed twice, pointed at Qingwen beside him and said: "We all believe that you and Miss Qingwen are a match made in heaven. During the days when you were not in Huanyan Pavilion, Miss Qingwen was unhappy all day long.
I stood under the archway and looked forward to it. If you live up to Miss Qingwen’s sincerity, I will tell you where the Black Water Pond is."
"Xiu...Xiu Hun said..." Qingwen immediately blushed and hid behind Murong Yunxiu in a panic.
Su Wangting looked at Mu Shilan blankly: "You guys...when did you become a matchmaker?"
Mu Shilan's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips and said, "If I don't get you a wife as beautiful as a fairy soon, I'm worried that my Yunxiu will still miss you!"
Su Wangting almost fell off his horse when he heard this.
Mu Shilan was immediately pushed to the ground by Murong Yunxiu, beaten violently, and begged for mercy again and again.
It wasn't until Mu Shilan's eyes were black and blue after being beaten that Murong Yunxiu stopped, turned and glared at Su Wangting and shouted: "How can I, Qingwen, not be worthy of you? With such a good appearance and such an easy-going temperament, where can you go?"
Find it!"
Su Wangting was stunned for a long time, smiled awkwardly, and didn't reply.
"You should say something!" Murong Yunxiu urged.
Su Wangting lowered his head and whispered: "It's me... I'm not worthy of Miss Qingwen."
After finishing speaking, Su Wangting lightly shouted "drive" and rode away.
Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Qingwen's eyes.
"Sister, there are plenty of good men in the world, so there is no need to feel sad for this brainless guy." Murong Yunxiu consoled her.
"You... tell him the location of the Black Water Pond, don't... don't make it difficult for him..." After saying this, Qingwen covered her mouth and ran up the mountain in a hurry, and the sound of unstoppable crying could be heard from the mountain.
Before they had traveled three miles, a figure suddenly landed in front of Su Wangting's horse.
Mu Shilan.
Su Wangting hurriedly reined in his horse, looked into his panda eyes, and tried not to laugh.
"Black Water Pool is in Yeliu Country." Mu Shilan said angrily.
"Yeliu Country??"
Mu Shilan nodded: "When Yunxiu and I went to Yeliu Kingdom to look for the golden-striped gecko tail, we heard the herb collectors on the cliff mention that the black water pool in Yeliu Kingdom was rich in strange medicines, but most of them were poisons.
Grass. All the Gu masters from Yeliu Country like to go there to collect medicine and refine Gu."
Su Wangting shook his head and said: "I didn't expect to be in Yeliu Country. No wonder no one knew about it when I asked about it along the way."
"Yeliu Country is not big. Once you go there, you can find out the specific location by asking the locals."
Su Wangting nodded: "I understand. Thank you for letting me know."
"I want you to thank me?" Mu Shilan glared at Su Wangting with her panda eyes, "How can Miss Qingwen not be worthy of you? What a virtue!!"
Before Su Wangting could respond, he stormed away angrily.
Su Wangting shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to crack his whip and continue moving forward, when he suddenly heard a loud roar coming from above his head.
When I looked up, I saw a falcon.
It was the one that Huanyan Pavilion gave to Bai Kui that day.
I saw this falcon circling in the air for several times before swooping down and landing on Su Wangting's shoulder.
Take out a roll of paper from the small mailbox on the falcon's feet and open it.
There are only three beautiful words.
"Take care of yourself."
The signature is the word "wen".
Su Wangting stared at the paper, speechless for a long time.
He didn't come back to his senses until the hawk on his shoulder flapped its big wings and flew up.
Putting the paper in his arms, Su Wangting looked up at the flying eagle and murmured: "Young lady, pure and pure, unstained by dust, how can I, a person covered in blood, be worthy of you?"
…
Southwest Kyushu, Nanzhou.
Taking the Meisha River as the boundary, after crossing the river, we entered the territory of Yeliu Kingdom.
The climate of Yeliu Kingdom is very different from that of most areas of Kyushu, and the difference is obvious.
Years of humidity and heat are the norm.
There are many swamps and rainforests in Yeliu Kingdom, where miasmas are everywhere, and there are countless highly poisonous insects, snakes, flowers and plants. If a foreigner breaks into these sparsely populated strange places alone, it is no different than committing suicide.
This was the advice given to Su Wangting by travelers returning from Yeliu Kingdom to Kyushu when he had just crossed the river and entered the territory of Yeliu Kingdom.
But these travelers also gave Su Wangting some depressing news.
The black water pool was exactly the dangerous area they warned against trespassing.
Blackwater Pool, also known as Blackpool by the locals, is located in the middle of Yeliu Country. Because both the pool water and the soil in it are dark brown, it got this name.
Kurosawa is the largest swamp wetland in Yeliu, one-third the size of Maozhou. It is surrounded by rainforest, and there are no villages or city-states within a hundred miles.
The variety and quantity of poisonous insects and poisonous flowers and plants in Blackpool are unparalleled in the world, and it is called a forbidden land for ordinary people.
It is also known as the Gu Master’s Paradise.
The largest Gu master sect in Yeliu, Liucai Sect, is located at the east end of Blackpool.
We also learned from the local people near the border that if you want to enter Blackpool to find out what's going on, the safest way is to hire a Gu Master who is familiar with the area as a guide, otherwise it will be a disaster.
So, Su Wangting decided to go alone.
He doesn't believe in evil.
Three days later, in the early morning, Su Wangting arrived outside the rain forest north of Blackpool.
Passing through the rainforest, you can enter Blackpool.
Looking at the foggy area in the forest, Su Wangting smiled and said there was nothing scary about it, but it was actually as beautiful as a fairyland.
So he got off his horse and walked into the forest.
Then, after the scene of a stick of incense, Su Wangting lay on the ground in the misty rain forest.
Foaming at the mouth and no movement.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw his horse.
"Huh? What's going on?" Su Wangting sat up in confusion and looked around, "Why did you suddenly fall asleep? Why did I come out again?"
Suddenly, there was the sound of trampling on branches and leaves behind him. Su Wangting turned around and saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old with a piece of grass in her mouth and looking at him.
"Who are you?"
"Bah!" The girl spat out the grass boldly, "You are really a talent. You entered the forest before the sun rose and the miasma dissipated. If I hadn't seen a horse outside the forest and went into the forest out of curiosity to investigate, what would you have done at this time?
I’m afraid it’s already too cold.”
"Ah??" Su Wangting touched his face in panic, "Am I poisoned?"
The girl smiled broadly and said, "Don't panic, I've given you the antidote. Looking at your fine skin and tender flesh, it would be a pity to die."
"Ah, my God, that's it!" Su Wangting hurriedly got up and bowed his hands to the girl, "Thank you for helping me. Haha, I really underestimated this Kurosawa."
"Ten taels of silver." The girl smiled and stretched out her hand.
"What?? Ten taels of silver??" Su Wangting was confused.
"Ten taels of silver to save your life is not expensive, right?" The girl wrinkled her nose naughtily at Su Wangting.
"No...not expensive, not expensive! It should, it should." Su Wangting hurriedly took out some silver from his arms and handed it over with both hands.
The girl happily accepted the money and asked: "You are so good, why do you want to go to Blackpool? You think your life is too long?"
Su Wangting scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "There are some...private matters. Anyway, I want to go inside and find out. Why are you showing up alone in a place rarely visited by people? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
The girl raised her face and said, "Huh, I'm from the Charong Gu Village. Of course I have a way to avoid being poisoned!"
"Cha Rong Gu Village??"
"Yes. It is the place where the largest sect in Yeliu Kingdom, Liucai Sect, is located."
"Six Color Sect??" Su Wangting was startled when he heard this and recalled the two Gu Masters who poisoned Mu Shilan, "Then you... are also a Gu Master?"
The girl waved her hands and said: "Hehe, I can't bear the title of Gu Master yet. I haven't even started yet."
"Then...can you serve as a guide and take me into Blackpool?"
The girl stuck out her tongue when she heard this: "I can walk around in the rain forest just fine, but not in Blackpool. Although the terrain in Blackpool seems to be flat, there are places where you can stay and where you will sink if you step on it.
The swamp requires an experienced Gu Master."
"Then can you take me to your village and help me hire an experienced Gu Master as a guide?"
The girl stretched out her hand again: "Twelve!!"
Su Wangting made a sound, took out the silver again, and handed it over with a smile: "It's not a big deal! You are willing to take the risk and take me to Blackpool. It's not expensive for ten taels."
"What are you talking about?" The girl carefully collected the money and rolled her eyes at Su Wangting, "These ten taels are the travel expenses for me to take you to Charong Village. For only ten taels, I want to hire someone from Kurosawa.
Guide...are you dreaming?"
"Oh my God, you've cheated me for twenty taels in the blink of an eye?" Su Wangting covered his face, "I said you're a young girl, but you're obsessed with money, asking for money in everything. Could it be that your last name is
money?"
"You guessed it right!" The girl clapped her little hands and winked at Su Wangting with her big eyes mischievously, "My name is great, and I have a lot of money!"
"..." Su Wangting was speechless. This chapter has been completed!
