Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 233 The monster is eyeing the cargo of the fleet?
Jiang Qingyu didn't know much about Xing Yi, the pavilion master of the Meteor Pavilion.

It is rumored that this person was born from the corpse of a Heyi Realm craftsman, and his cultivation level has been reaching the stars since the day of his birth.

But when he was born, where is the tomb of the Oneness Realm, and what methods he is good at besides refining weapons, are all a mystery.

Jiang Qingyu only knew that at the end of the former dynasty, there was a killer organization named Meteor Pavilion in the world.

But at that time, Meteor Pavilion was not well-known, coupled with the strange rule of only assassinating the innate and the reward price nearly double that of other killer organizations, it was even more daunting, so the business has been very bleak.

Until that time when the Yue Kingdom was in its heyday, the ambitious Emperor Wu Yu decided to send troops to annex the Nanman, and offered a reward for the head of the leader of the Nanman, King Guhuo, with a title of a king with a different surname and five innate fifth-rank complete secret arts. When Xing Xing rushed to the southern border, Xing Yi, the pavilion master of the Meteor Star Pavilion, walked into the capital carrying the head of the King Gu Huo on the second day, and became famous from then on!
No one saw how he killed King Guhuo, but that was one of the few deeds in history where he killed the king!

In particular, King Guhuo was already in the middle of reaching the stars at that time, and he was known as a genius who met once in 300 years in the Southern Man.

The status is equal to the "Wolf King" Ketucha of the Qiang people decades later.

The premise is that Kotucha is still alive at that time.

but……

After killing King Guhuo, Xingyi did not accept the title of king, but took away five books of secret art, and when Jing Yang usurped the throne, he did not show up to stop him.

Obviously, he didn't think he was Yue Chen.

Later, Jing Yang entered the Dragon Raising Realm and cleaned up many remnants of the previous dynasty, but he never found trouble with this person.

"Xingyi's cultivation is probably very close to the fifth rank!"

Jiang Qingyu stared deeply at the two abysses in the void, and could clearly feel the difference in strength between the two.

If the cultivation base of the giant python monster is at the late stage or at the peak of the Star Reaching Realm, then Xingyi's cultivation base is much higher than it, and it can be said that it is only a step away from the fifth rank!
"Du Heng and Xing Yi are both the leaders of the Assassin Organization, but in comparison, Du Heng's strength is far inferior to Xing Yi's!"

"Is it because of the body in the Unity Realm?"

Jiang Qingyu couldn't find Xingyi's exact location, nor could he see his face, so it was difficult to further speculate on the other party's true strength.

But he felt that if he ranked among the many stars in the world, this person might be able to sit firmly at the top!

After all, the cultivation base at the peak of Reaching for the Stars, coupled with the physical body of the Heyi Realm, and part of the memory of the Heyi Realm, are enough for him to defeat anyone below the fifth rank!

What's more, as the owner of the Meteor Pavilion and the number one craftsman in the world, he must carry more than one top magic weapon!

"Will I be his opponent?"

At this moment, Jiang Qingyu seemed a bit hesitant.

Xingyi's strength has already exceeded his expectations, and he may not be able to defeat him even if he uses all means. On the contrary, he will use up his incense power accumulated for many days in vain.

Moreover, if you get into trouble with such an opponent, if you can't hide your identity, I'm afraid it will bring endless disasters to the palace!

"Let's just wait and see what happens."

"Just now Xingsan said that Xingyi ordered to protect everyone in the palace. There must be something hidden in it that I don't know. Maybe this person..."

"Friends, not enemies!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyu was no longer in a hurry to join the battle, and chose to sit on the sidelines.

at the same time.

Above the void, heavy dark clouds churned endlessly, like an upside-down black river falling towards the Qingjiang River!

The black shadow of the giant python seemed to have sensed the crisis, and suddenly let out a roar, the sound was like thunder, accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder, it was deafening!
The next moment, a strong wind blew up, and the entire Qingjiang River was turbulent. Dozens of huge ships kept shaking, and the guards and soldiers with low cultivation levels couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

Some people even fell into the water, panicked and shouted for help!

Jiang Langya, Liang Buyi and other Haoyue Realm masters hurriedly threw ropes and pulled people onto the huge boat.

"Elder, how long will it take to reach Weeping Willow Village?"

"I'm afraid that monster can't wait any longer. If we don't cause trouble, we will all be swallowed by it!"

Xiong Hui smiled wryly:

"Everyone, Weeping Willow Village is only three or five miles away from here, but look at the current situation, the tide is so fierce, it is a fluke that the boat does not capsize, and it is difficult to control the direction of travel with only human power!"

"..."

All are in despair:

"So, aren't we doomed?"

"Damn it! If I knew this, I shouldn't have coveted that little silver and boarded your Xiong family's thief ship!"

"Great Elder, please, hurry up and think of a solution! Tell me, could something on your boat attract this monster?"

"There are so many villages along the Qingjiang River, and there are so many fleets on the river, why did this monster focus on us? There must be a reason!"

"That's right, could it be that some thousand-year-old spiritual grass is sealed in some rough stone, causing us to be targeted by monsters?"

One person has a fierce look in his eyes:
"Cut stones! Cut all the rough stones to find out!"

"It's come to this point, I have to try everything, I'm only 42 years old, and I've only married an eleven-room wife, so I can't die here!"

"Yes, cut stone!"

"Cut all the rough stones, find the monster's target, throw it out, maybe you can get a way out!"

……

Everyone was clamoring to cut stones, and someone had already started to do it. In an instant, the 30 yuan rough stones on the deck were cut open one by one!

All of a sudden, pieces of valuable jade materials were displayed in front of people's eyes, and the precious light was so bright that people couldn't help but feel greedy!
In particular, there is a piece of purple jade that is half the size of a baby's fist.

"It's Purple King Jade!"

Someone recognized the jade and couldn't help exclaiming:
"It is said that the king's seal of the King of the North was carved from this kind of jade. It is one of the few jades in the world that can carry luck!"

"It's a pity that it's too small. If it is ten times larger, it will be enough to engrave the king's seal for this time!"

Many people glanced at Xiong Hui.

It's not hard to guess that this is a gift for Jiang Qingyu's son prepared by the other party!

Seeing the crowd snatching and cutting stones like thieves, Xiong Hui's face was gloomy, his momentum was rising steadily, and he walked towards the crowd step by step:
"Are you all forcing this old man to kill someone?"

"Could it be that my Xiong family has been in business for so long that everyone in the world has forgotten how we started?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people were startled and took a few steps back.

Even Liang Buyi, Jin Wanliang and others in the Haoyue Realm frowned slightly.

Outsiders only know that the Xiong family has occupied a jade mine and made a fortune from it, but they have heard from the previous generation that when the jade mine was first discovered, there were seven or eight second-rate forces in the state of Chu fighting for it. After several months of fighting, the final winner was a little-known family, the Xiong family.

As for the rest of the forces...

They were all slaughtered by the Xiong family one by one.

The total number of survivors who escaped from the six or seven forces in the end was less than a hundred people, and they were all just low-status handymen and servants!

Xiong Hui's tone was cold:

"The old man warns you that a large part of this batch of rough stones is reserved by the royal family and the officials of the capital, so don't act rashly!"

"The 30 yuan is all that matters. If you hand over the jade, I don't have to pursue it!"

"Today we are in trouble together. If you all work together to get through this calamity safely, the old man can make the decision and give everyone a high-quality rough stone afterward!"

"But if someone has evil intentions and wants to take advantage of the fire, then..."

"The knife in the old man's hand will be stained with his blood first!"

"..."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Many people held the jade tightly, unwilling to give it back, with a reassuring look on their faces:

"Why, your Xiong family has brought all of us into a dead end, why don't you let us cut a few stones?"

"If you are capable of yelling at us, why don't you go to heaven and kill that monster?"

"Great Elder, don't say I look down on you, the Xiong family on your fleet alone, I'm afraid they won't be the opponents of us people from the rivers and lakes!"

……

However, just as this group of Jianghu people were acting recklessly, Jiang Langya said coldly:

"What the Great Elder said is true."

He chose to support Xiong Hui.

Just now, the people from the palace did not participate in the robbing and cutting of stones, and in their identities, they simply disdain to do such trivial things.

"Now we should work together to overcome difficulties, not internal division!"

Jiang Langya's statement made many people slightly startled.

Especially the group of people from the Jianghu who were the loudest, looked at each other, and then at the jade in their hands, their faces were dark and ugly.

In the presence, Jiang Langya's strength is the most unfathomable. In this fleet, the power of the palace he belongs to is second only to the Xiong family. If he is determined to stand with the Xiong family, then the rest of the people may be difficult What a storm!

"The general is right."

What made people even more desperate was that after Jiang Langya made his statement, Liang Buyi, Jin Wanliang and other Haoyue Realm also spoke one after another:
"We are in the rivers and lakes, and we pay attention to a word of righteousness. Now that a disaster is approaching, we don't want to overcome it together. Instead, we have the heart to take advantage of the fire. Aren't we afraid of being ridiculed by the world when we spread the word?"

"You guys are acting like this, what's the difference from thieves?"

"Ah Chen, return the jade to the Great Elder! My family of the Spirit Sword Sect has a great career, don't make people laugh at us for not being able to afford a few pieces of jade!"

Jin Shan of the Spirit Sword Sect gave instructions to a Sword Cultivator of Fate Star Realm beside him.

The sword cultivator sighed helplessly when he saw this, he could only reluctantly throw the jade in his hand to Xiong Hui, and bowed his head to admit his mistake:
"I was confused for a while, please forgive me, Great Elder."

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also returned the jade with pained faces.

In the end, only the person who cut out the Purple King Jade was left, holding the jade tightly, and said unwillingly:

"Just in case, I mean just in case!"

"This batch of rough stones hides the spirit that attracts that monster, so what should we do?"

"We are all dying! We can't die by guarding this pile of broken stones, can we? Why don't you cut it open to see what's going on, see if you can find the target of the monster, throw it out in exchange for living things hope?"

"Anyway, I don't want to die!"

"Do you all want to die?"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

To be honest, many people have already begun to suspect that there is something wrong with the goods on this fleet.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the appearance of the monster!
"Elder, how about..."

"Cut it open and have a look!"

Liang Buyi tried to persuade:
"The situation is urgent. As long as I can survive, I believe the royal family and the officials in the capital will not blame me."

"and……"

"Cutting the rough stone at this time is much better than being swallowed by a monster and disappearing, right?"

With Haoyue Jing taking the lead, the others began to echo:
"That's right, Great Elder, we don't take jade materials, but it's okay to cut open the rough stone to find the monster's target?"

"We don't want to die either!"

"If we don't get rid of this monster, we will all die. By then, the goods on this ship will not be able to reach the capital?"

"Cut it open and see! This is our only hope of survival."

……

Xiong Hui and several senior members of the Xiong family looked at each other, with unsightly expressions on their faces.

Generally speaking, the price of rough stones is higher than that of jade materials. If this batch of goods is cut open, the Xiong family will not only lose their reputation, but also a large sum of money!
But if you don't agree to cut the stone...

I'm afraid it will cause public outrage!
Xiong Hui glanced at Jiang Langya, only to see that the other party was staring at the top of his head, ignoring the disputes on the boat, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Obviously, he is against other people's robbing jade, but he is not against cutting stones!

Therefore, Xiong Hui couldn't help but sink in his heart.

He couldn't bear the price of cutting stones, but he couldn't bear the consequences of causing public outrage!

Therefore, he could only make up his mind:
"Pass my order!"

"Throw all the jade into the river!"

"The old man wants to see if this monster is after this batch of goods!"

This statement came out.

Everyone was stunned.

Throw it into the river?

The Qingjiang River is more than a dozen or so feet deep. Once the rough stone is thrown down, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to fish it up again!
However, if the monster's target is really a spiritual thing sealed in a certain piece of rough stone, then they may rush into the bottom of the water to search, and they can also take the opportunity to escape!

if not……

Then in the future, as long as the Xiong family pays enough, they can still send this batch of goods to the capital safely!

Even, even if all of them died unexpectedly today...

There is still a glimmer of hope that this batch of goods will be caught by others in the future, and sent to the capital according to the original plan!

"Tsk, he really is a treacherous and cunning person!"

Jiang Shan couldn't help being amazed:

"This move not only preserves the original stone, but also makes people unable to find any faults."

"The Xiong family asked Xiong Hui to be responsible for delivering this batch of goods, and they did not choose the wrong person."

On the side, Jiang Langya frowned deeply.

At this moment, the heavy black clouds in the sky were about to press down on their heads, and the roar of the black shadow of the giant python became more and more urgent, as if it couldn't wait to kill someone!

He could even sense that this monster seemed very irritable!

Rumble!
Suddenly, a sound of thunder resounded through the sky.

next moment.

Something unexpected happened to everyone!
I saw that giant python hiding among the heavy black clouds sighed and said:

"Xingyi, show up!"

"I know you're around."
