Chapter 202: The Swordfish King, the Curse of Zou Ge (4k)
The boss of the state slowly fell from the sky, clasped his fists and saluted: "I have a grandson from the state, his name is Wei Yin, and there is also an elder with the sixth level of Qi, leading other tribesmen to recuperate in the Chu land."
"Commander Zenge, in fact, our control of the fish market only lasted for thirty-five years, and the impact was quite limited. If we are willing to pay three thousand black jade in compensation, can we resolve this matter?"
Three thousand mysterious jade? One mysterious jade is worth a hundred gold, and one gold is worth ten thousand coins. To be honest, the total transaction volume of the fish market here in the past thirty-five years would be good if it can exceed fifty mysterious jade. p>
What's more, probably to prevent people from suspecting that the "swordfish" is ineffective, about one-third of these fish are real fish.
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart and felt that if he did not consider the possible food poisoning caused by adding Tzu Shi powder to the fish, the value of such a large amount of black jade would be completely overflowing, almost comparable to the value of an ordinary magic weapon.<
/p>
Even if Zhou Lai Kaiyin is Zhou Laiguo's Gongsun, a master of the Lower Six Qi Realm, he will definitely have to work hard, and may even have to mortgage some property before he can get it.
As for Yi Zai Gai Yongtai, following the methods of the masters of the Six Qi Realm, in order to make him lose the ability to resist, there is no need to use irreversible methods. It is estimated that it will not take much time to cure him.
Of course, if we don't consider whether we will antagonize Zhou Laiguo's descendants, we can undoubtedly gain more by killing Zhou Lai and taking away his treasures.
Zhe Ge Wuhan said coldly: "Three thousand mysterious jade? I remember what you wanted to do to me just now? Resist law enforcement, and your guilt will be increased."
Boss Zhou gritted his teeth and forced out his voice: "Five thousand mysterious jade, is it enough?"
Zhe Ge Wuhan let out a laugh, and did not indicate whether he agreed or not, but asked calmly: "If you want to get the information about the Victory Evil Sword and deal with the Wu Kingdom together, why don't you report it through the pedestrian doctor and discuss it with our Yue King, but
Use this method secretly in private?"
The boss of Zhou hesitated for a moment and argued: "No...didn't the King of Yue surrender to Fu Chai? How dare we do this?"
Zhe Ge Wuhan smiled and said: "Haha, since you think that Yue is a loyal subordinate of Wu, why do you dare to 'tell the truth' now? What else do you want to quibble with?"
"We..." Boss Zhou couldn't think of how to defend himself. He was caught red-handed. If he didn't "tell the truth" like this, was there any other way?
"Let me guess, well, pass the information you have found to the Chu State, hoping that the King of Chu will avenge you and defeat Wu, and even regain your homeland. This is your group's real plan, right?" Zhe Gewu
Han glanced at Xi Mian, who represented Chu State, and said leisurely.
The boss of the state suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at the other party's expression for a few times, and admitted: "Yes, Fu Chai's cultivation level is suspected to be higher than that of the best master from our state. Even if he can understand Sheng Xie, the assassination will be successful."
The chance is probably less than 10%. So..."
"So you don't dare to fight against Fu Chai, but you dare to come and explore the secrets of our country?"
Zhe Ge Wuhan interrupted the other party's words and said coldly: "Wu Zixu dug up King Chu Ping's tomb and whipped the body. Chu King Ren's hatred for the Wu Kingdom was by no means worse than that of people from your state, but he did not
Like you, you secretly send people here to cause trouble."
"So, did King Chu not think of this method, or did he have his concerns?"
He suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Nominally, it is to deal with the Shengxie Sword. In fact, who knows whether you will go on to deal with Chunjun and Juque? There is no way to prove it."
Boss Zhou's expression changed for a while, and finally he asked: "Is there any way to reconcile this matter?"
"A way to reconcile?"
Zhe Ge Wuhan looked like he was thinking and reminded aloud: "Anyway, what I am most concerned about is the sword intention of the Five Swords. It must not be leaked outside the country. If you can do this,
Coupled with appropriate compensation, you can try to reconcile."
"Can't it be leaked outside the country?" Boss Zhou fell into deep thought, vaguely aware of the other party's purpose. The descendants of Zhou who have studied the sword's intention cannot leave the country of Yue. Could it be that they want to settle in the country of Yue?
He pondered and asked: "Commander Zenge, do you mean to let the descendants from our state leave the protection of the Chu State and move to the Yue State?"
"What, are some of you acclimated to the country of Yue? They are also temporarily living in other countries. How are the people from your state treated in Chu?" Zhe Ge Wuhan asked.
Boss Zhou's face changed slightly, revealing the color of memories. As a small country affiliated to Chu State, Zhou Laiguo has never received good treatment from the overbearing King of Chu and his ministers. It can only be judged by people's faces. p>
In fact, when the Tang State and Cai State, which was stronger than Zhou Lai State, went to pay homage to the King of Chu, their king was forcibly detained for fifteen years because he refused Chu Lingyin's request for a huge bribe. He was not released until he handed over the treasure.
Return to the country.
Therefore, the attitude of Zhou Laiguo towards Chu State is not very good. If Chu State was not too powerful and was their only hope to regain the country, Zhou Laiguo would have rebelled and left long ago.
"If we want to defect to the Yue State, what kind of treatment can we get? Do you, the Yue State, have the ability to take revenge on the Wu State?" Zhou Boss asked in a deep voice.
Although there is a huge gap in strength, still insisting on conditions, it feels a bit like pushing the envelope.
But as the grandson of Zhou Laiguo and one of the top leaders of Zhou Lai's descendants in the future, he shoulders the expectations of countless people from Zhou Lai and carries heavy responsibilities, so he must do this.
Zhe Ge Wuhan glanced at him and said with a smile: "In terms of treatment, how about it be better than that in Chu State? As for Yue State's ability, of course you won't believe it easily, so you still have to look at what I say.
It’s better to be more practical.”
The next moment, he suddenly moved his hand in the distance, and the door of the temple opened again, and a colorful fish flew in and floated in front of Zhao Qing.
Boss Zhou's figure suddenly froze, and he stared at the small fish cautiously, and his breath couldn't help but tighten up.
Because, he knew very well in his heart that these were the two sword fishes that their group had spent thirty-five years consuming hundreds of thousands of "swordfish" to refine and fuse the essence of the sword intent in the fish, and merged them into one.
One of the "Swordfish King".
He raised it five hundred feet underground and set up heavy protection, but the other party cracked it in an instant and caught the fish out.
"This little girl, I said before that I would let you taste a free fish dinner, and I was referring to this small fish." Zhe Ge Wuhan's figure flashed, appeared beside Zhao Qing, and spoke.
Introduction.
"This king of 'swordfish' is given to you to try. Remember to appreciate it carefully when eating it, and try not to waste the effects of the fish."
On the side, the boss of Zhou understood that the general meaning of Ge Wuhan was to make the little girl show a huge improvement after eating fish to prove that Yue State has a large number of top geniuses and can compete with Wu State in the future.<
/p>
However, if Zhao Qing really eats the fish completely, more than half of his achievements in the past thirty-five years will be consumed.
Eighteen years ago, when I ate another "King of Swordfish", although my sword intention had improved, I was still not close to sensing the five-path divine weapon intention contained in the Yue Wu Sword.
Quite a distance.
How could such a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl surpass her own cultivation accumulated over hundreds of years?
……
Zhao Qing stared at the thumb-sized colorful fish in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
It turns out that Zeng Ge Wuhan has been doing this for a long time because he wants to subdue people like Zhou Laiguo. Carrots and sticks are really a good method.
However, getting the opportunity to eat the essence of "Swordfish" for free is a good gain.
She gently pinched the tail of the colorful fish, thought for a moment, and was about to stuff it into her mouth to swallow when she heard a series of neat footsteps.
Zhao Qing turned around and looked around, only to see ten elite soldiers wearing heavy bronze armor, five wearing short swords, and five wearing long swords walking in from the entrance of the temple. Every step he took brought a wave of excitement to people.
This is an illusion of "shrinking the ground into an inch", and they are all integers of ten feet.
The sound of their footsteps is steady and powerful. Each step, regardless of the weight or distance, is a repetition of the previous step. Naturally, a strong and rhythmic momentum is generated. The ten people are like a whole body. Any attack will provoke the reaction of the other party as a whole. p>
Under such circumstances, the possibility of defeating them one by one does not exist.
According to Zhao Qing's inference, these ten sergeants are probably all with a higher level of cultivation than Gang Jin, and their cooperation with each other is extremely tight, which is still higher than that of the original five elders of the Peng family.
"Jiange Camp Gengchen Team, see the Witch Lord!" Ten people spoke at the same time, with solemn tones, and their voices vibrated for miles around. Because they were too neat and there was no time interval, only one echo came out.
"Witch Lord?" Boss Zhou murmured to himself, his expression could not help but tremble. He had so many thoughts in his mind that he secretly made a decision.
In the country of Yue, the etiquette system among the people is not strict. No one will care about what you call "jun" in private. However, the soldiers of the Jiange camp who represent the official will also call you this way, but there will never be a second meaning.
.
There is no doubt that the "Witch Lord" Zeng Ge Wuhan, the junior uncle of the contemporary witch, is one of the sixteen feudal lords of the Yue Kingdom.
Zhe Ge Wuhan nodded and said: "The ten of you will stay here temporarily, recruit some people near Wushe Xiaoyi, and establish an organization responsible for dealing with the sale of fake fish. Anyway, we don't have much money, so we will compensate you at ten times the price."
Okay."
Jiange camp? "Witch Lord"? Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart for a while, then cut off his distracting thoughts, opened his mouth slightly, swallowed the small fish in one gulp, and then fell into darkness.
……
When Zhao Qing woke up again, she saw a towering mountain, a river rolling down the valley, and an old man with an old face standing beside the river.
The old man stared at the five floating golden sword embryos in front of him, surrounded by the shadows of countless magic weapons. His eyes were bright, as if they were pregnant with the light of wisdom.
Ou Yezi? Hasn't he started making swords yet? Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he came to the time when Ou Yezi was making swords without any sound? Could the so-called "Swordfish King" have such amazing effects?
"Zhao Qing? Little Ah Qing?" Suddenly, she heard a crisp shout from behind her.
Zhao Qing turned around and looked around, only to see that the other person was a woman wearing a light blue dress. She had a beautiful and refined appearance, and her eyes inadvertently revealed a deep and frightening brilliance that seemed to come from the deepest part of her heart, which added to her aura.
An enigmatic sense of mystery.
The most important thing is that the blue shirt the woman is wearing is exactly the same as Zeng Ge Wuhan.
Zhao Qing was slightly shocked. What she didn't expect was that Zeng Ge Wuhan was actually a woman. Before, she was just a woman disguised as a man.
"In this world constructed by the sword's will, Ou Yezi will have to think for a while before starting to forge swords."
Zhe Ge Wuhan glanced at her and said leisurely: "You may have guessed that I know your master Zhu Ji Wuci, and I am half of his junior sister, so I came to you specifically. However, you call me Wuhan.
Just sister, don’t call me old.”
"Don't wonder why I know the effect of this 'Swordfish King'. Do you think that no one in our country has tried anything that people from the state have done before?"
Zou Ge Wuhan is a very talkative person. While waiting for Ou Yezi to forge the sword, she told Zhao Qing about the history of the Zou Ge family and her past experiences.
In the past, Dayu's younger brother was granted the title of Si's surname Zeng Ge, Zun Po, and Zeng Guan. They were the three core clan states of the Xia Dynasty, guarding the area directly under the Xia Dynasty.
Among them, the Zhege family was the head of the three families. After Si Taikang was expelled by Hou Yi, he had been living in the territory of the Zhege family and was buried here.
Later, Hanzhuo killed Houyi, successively destroyed Zhenge, captured Zhenwei, Zhenguan Sanshi, then captured Diqiu, the capital of Xia, killed Si Xiang, and succeeded in replacing Xia with Han.

However, Si Shaokang, the posthumous son of the emperor, escaped by chance and came alone to the Yu State, which was inherited from the Yu Dynasty. After many twists and turns, he found and united with the remnants of the Zhen Guan clan and the Zhen Wu clan, and together they attacked the Han Kingdom.
The restoration of the country began the era of "Shaokang and Zhongxing".
After Si Shaokang successfully restored the Xia Dynasty, he wanted to restore the Sanzhen Kingdom and sent people to search for the descendants of the Zenge family who were almost killed by Hanzhuo, but only a few people were found;
The Zhenguan clan and Zhennu clan, which still have a large number of clan members, are also declining, and it is difficult for new clans to be born.
It turns out that although Han Yun didn't know that Si Xiang had a posthumous son, he knew very well that the survivors of the Sanzhen Kingdom were not only surnamed Si and loyal to the Xia Dynasty, but also had great potential and were a huge threat to the Han Kingdom. p>
Therefore, he paid a considerable price and relied on an ancient relic to unleash a vicious curse on the descendants of Sanzhe that would end their lifespan, end their heirs, and end their path.
The so-called "extreme longevity" means that the lifespan is only one-fifth of that of others in the same realm; the so-called "extreme heir" means that five people in the clan must die before one can be born; the so-called "extreme death" refers to the horrific disaster that will be encountered when breaking through the Tianyan realm.
When the body dies, the Tao disappears.
Even though Si Shaokang had already traveled a long way in the Tianyan realm and was catching up with Dayu's cultivation when he first came to the throne, he still could not break the curse issued by Han Yun, a strong man in the same realm with the addition of ancient treasures.
, we can only sit back and watch Sanzhe gradually perish.
Later, Shaokang granted his concubine Si Wuyu Yu Yue, and asked Wuyu to take a group of wizards to worship his ancestor Dayu.
The descendants of the Zenge family voluntarily joined this team, and unexpectedly discovered that the supreme divine power overflowing around the tomb of King Yu was enough to withstand the curse left by Han Yun.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the Zenge family has lived near the tomb of King Yu. At the same time, they have been learning the witchcraft of the wizards, hoping to find the true solution to the Hanzhuo curse from the sacrifices to Yu.
method.
After Yunchang changed his title from the Marquis of Yue to the King of Yue, he conferred 16 titles on the Yue region, including the Zenge family, a descendant of Dayu's brother, in order to increase his "legitimacy".
Zhe Ge Wuhan is the person with the highest talent and qualifications in the Zhe Ge clan for dozens of generations. With the recommendation of his clan, he served as the leader of the Zhe Ge clan for this generation and also inherited the position of "Witch Lord".
The "Wuhan" in her name contains the true hope of the tribe for thousands of years to break the curse.
After hearing that Wenzi, a disciple of the great sage Lao Tzu, had come to the Yue Kingdom, she immediately came to visit and ask for advice. As a result, she met Zhu Jiwuci, and came up with the idea of joining the Yue Kingdom's secret guard Duanyu Camp.
In Zeng Ge Wuhan's view, as the Yue Kingdom becomes more powerful, the scale of sacrifices to King Yu's Tomb will also become larger, thereby changing the tribe's long-term living situation in deep mountains and old forests, almost isolated from the outside world, increasing their motivation for progress, and
Re-spread the reputation of Kaisou Geshi.
Although it is difficult to break the curse, it is enough to make the people live better and be more energetic.
"So, Sister Wuhan, is it really okay for you to leave the area around King Yu's Tomb, join the Duanyu Camp, and run around for the affairs of the Yue Kingdom?" Zhao Qing said with some worry after hearing what Ge Wuhan said. p>
"It's a little short of being alive, a little short of not dying. It's better to wander around in the outside world and experience a wonderful life than to sit in front of the memorial monument of King Yu, lingering and not being able to see the scenery outside the mountain."
Zhe Ge Wuhan smiled and said: "Little Aqing, I have already looked away from it very early on. Even if the life span of 500 years in the Six Qi Realm is reduced to a hundred years by the curse, it is still equivalent to that of an ordinary person.
Life span is at its limit."
"Ordinary people can calmly accept their fate of dying at the age of 100. I have advanced witchcraft skills and my knowledge is much wider than them, so why should I be dissatisfied?"
Zhao Qing thought for a while and comforted: "Sister Wuhan, the divine power around King Yu's Mausoleum can prevent the spread of Hanzhuo's curse. If we find the relics left by a more powerful person than King Yu, we may be able to find a way to remove the curse."
There’s a way.”
"A person more powerful than King Yu?"
Zhe Ge Wuhan looked stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently and sighed: "For great powers like Shennong and Huangdi who are said to have reached the realm of creation, I doubt they died at all and do not have tombs; and
The remains they left behind are even more insignificant."
"Actually, if there are no memorial inscriptions left by Emperor Qi on the memorial tablet for King Yu, it would be hard for me to believe that King Yu was really buried there." She turned to look at Zhao Qing and said softly: "Speaking of which,
, I actually heard your master say something similar in vain."
"He spoke seriously at that time, saying that King Yu, who had passed away for many years, had the ability to stop Hanzhuo's curse. If a peerless strong man who reached the realm of King Yu was born, it would probably be just a matter of effort to break the curse."<
