Raising the Demon

Chapter 754

Before Zi Baifeng finished speaking, he heard the curtain of the tavern being lifted suddenly, and a person walked in with heavy steps.

The door curtain was originally made of rough canvas, but when this man opened it, it flew up straight like a board, and hit the wooden wall with a bang.

The man who came in was a young man. He was wearing a coir raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a harpoon on his shoulder. He had a dark face and a resolute face. He looked like a fisherman, but on him, there was something not weak. This is a monk.

Zi Baifeng guessed that this person should be a monk from the cultivating immortal sect on the edge of Yucheng.

Seeing this person coming in, the boss didn't even pay attention to him, and only said to Zi Baifeng: "Master, if you go to participate in the selection, when you come back, let alone one place, even if it is ten places, I will I'll tell you too."

"Father!" Hearing what the boss said, Zi Baifeng didn't speak yet, but the fisherman spoke first. He slapped the table and said angrily, "Father, can you hurt people all day long? Do less harm." Will it work?"

"What are you talking about? You bastard, how dare you say that I'm hurting people?" The boss jumped out from behind the counter, and slapped the fisherman, not to mention hurting the fisherman. Instead, it was his own hand that hurt from the shock.

The fisherman didn't move, just sat there and let him beat him, listening to the boss calling over there: "You ungrateful bastard, do you think I can't touch you? Your wings have grown hard, don't you? Dare to speak ill of the old gods, dare to say that I am harmful, why did I give birth to your child, I really deserved to die in that storm, you dead child, see if I don't kill you!"

No matter what the boss said, the young man just sat there without saying a word, his face was so dark that it seemed to be dripping water.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted again, and someone came in again.

The boss's voice suddenly became quieter, he turned around and greeted: "Guest officer... ah, it turns out to be General Mu, honored guest, honored guest!"

"Yu Laosan, fifty catties of good rain and more meat, fifty catties of good Haizhuo meat, quickly pack it up, men are waiting!" It turned out to be a soldier who came in. He was wearing a suit of armor and had a sword hanging from his waist. , wearing a golden helmet, looks really majestic, such a big man.

Seeing that it was him, the boss's sweat dripped down immediately, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll be here soon!"

In a hurry, he tied several jars of good wine and a large pile of meat with hemp rope, and lifted them, but they didn't move.

The food and wine plus all kinds of packaging weighed more than a hundred catties. The boss is already old, and almost every joint in his body hurts.

"Damn boy, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and help!" The boss immediately scolded the fisherman next to him.

The fisherman stood up without saying a word, and was just about to stretch out his hand to pick it up, when the soldier saw the fisherman beside him, hurriedly took a step up, and said repeatedly: "So it's Brother Yu, I don't dare to work too hard, I don't dare Too much work!" He took the food and drink very carefully and went.

Zi Baifeng watched from the side, but found it quite interesting. These three people were like a game he played when he was a child. The tiger eats the chicken, the chicken eats the bug, the bug eats the stick, and the stick beats the tiger.

The boss is naturally awe-inspiring towards his son, while the military man shouts at the boss, and the military man is respectful to the boss' son. This triangular relationship makes people laugh and cry.

When the soldier left, the boss let out a sigh, turned around and went to Zi Baifeng's table again, lowered his voice, and said, "What that stupid son said just now is all nonsense, everyone, please don't say anything. Go out, but don't say it out, I invite this table today."

Zi Baifeng was speechless, but he was puzzled when the fisherman said that the boss was harming people.

Could it be that the so-called selection that attracted so many people from all directions to participate in it was actually harmful?

After all, this place is under the jurisdiction of Zi Baifeng, Zi Baifeng couldn't help but move his mind.

But after he thought about it, the most urgent thing now is to find the Eastern Tianzhu, so as not to cause complications.

Just thinking like this, the boss has already brought out two small dishes from the back room, put them on the table in front of Zi Baifeng, pulled a stool and sat down, and asked: "Master, what did you want to inquire about just now?" What's the matter?"

But they no longer forced Zi Baifeng and the others to participate in the selection.

"Old man, have you ever heard that there is a celestial pillar at the end of the East China Sea?" Zi Baifeng asked.

"Tianzhu?" The old man's complexion changed slightly, and he frowned in thought. After a while, he said, "I really don't know what the Tianzhu is for? Could it be that it props up the sky?"

Zi Baifeng looked at the boss's face, and felt that he seemed to be hiding something, and was trying to find out by some means. This was the first time he got a clue from Dongfang Tianzhu.

Who would have thought that if the boss didn't say anything, someone would say it? The fisherman suddenly came over and said, "Oriental Tianzhu? I know where it is. Why are you looking for this Tianzhu? Do you also want Tianzhu Stone?"

"What is this Tianzhu stone?" Zi Baifeng was stunned again.

"Aren't you from the nearby city?" The fisherman seemed to have noticed the strangeness of Zi Baifeng and others, and looked Zi Baifeng up and down, left and right.

The sea breeze here is humid, and the air seems to be salty, and each skin is like old meat that has been salted.And Zi Baifeng and Shu Yue are extremely handsome, they don't look like locals at all.

"We came from the west." Zi Baifeng said vaguely.

"Sure enough, although few of us locals know about the Tianzhu Stone, there are not many who know about the Wind-fixing Stone. This Tianzhu Stone is the Wind-fixing Stone. Just a piece the size of a fingernail can stop the storm. Not invaded, even in a hurricane, it is as safe as Mount Tai."

He paused, took out a pendant from his bosom, and inside the pendant was a small stone the size of a grain of rice, and said: "Our Yu Family Sect has such a wind-fixing stone the size of a fingernail, which can make this fishing city calm." Wulang, standing for thousands of years, my master left me this stone, if I take this stone out to sea, I will never lose my way, and I will never encounter a storm.”

Having said that, he looked a little smug. Obviously, it was not easy to get this stone.

Zi Baifeng saw that the stone was moist in color, and although it was only the size of a grain of rice, he could still tell it was extraordinary. He thought about it carefully, and it was indeed somewhat similar to the stone of Tianzhu he had seen before, but the stone he saw , are all huge and unparalleled, the diameter of the Tianzhu is tens of miles, such a small stone is really nothing unusual.

But Zi Baifeng didn't want to say anything more, he just said: "Brother, do you know the direction of Dongfang Tianzhu?"

"I know, but I can't explain clearly." The fisherman said, then he clasped his fists together, stood up, and walked out.

Ba Gui wanted to stop him, but the man was quick, and he went somewhere in the blink of an eye.

At this time, how could Zi Baifeng still not know that he was "played hard to capture".

This guy looks rough and bold, but in fact he is not simple.

However, since the other party wants to play hard to capture, he is not in a hurry, the other party "captures" him, there must be a time to "capture" him, and it will not be too far away.

Zi Baifeng turned to look at the boss, and said with a smile: "Old man, did you make this wine yourself?"

"Of course, old Yu, the rain I brewed often burns, but our fishing city is second to none. There is no water in our fishing city that does not have a salty taste. I chose the rainwater when it rains heavily in summer, and it is clear. , and then distilled out, this is considered to have the right water, and then mixed with..."

The old man was very happy when he talked about his wine.

"To be honest, I am also a wine lover. I also have some good wine here, old man, come and taste it for me." Zi Baifeng waved his hand, and the Tianmo sword behind him had already held a jar of wine with both hands.

The boss was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out that you all belong to the fairy family just like the little one. No wonder, no wonder, it's all because the little old man talked too much just now."

Zi Baifeng smiled and said nothing, patted the jar of wine away, before it was poured, Shu Yue had already picked it up, stood aside, and poured wine for the two of them.

As soon as the wine was unsealed, there was an irresistible aroma that hit the nostrils. The boss sniffed it, and suddenly became confused, as if he had drunk a drug, and was in a daze.

After three bowls of wine, the boss has almost regarded Zi Baifeng as a bosom friend.

Zi Baifeng smiled and said a few words to him, and he told him everything he knew.

It turned out that the small sect behind this fishing city was called the Yu Family Sect, which was jointly supported by a dozen small coastal towns nearby, and all of these cities were proud to be part of the Yu Family Sect.

The Yu Family Sect is just a third-rate sect, and after cultivating to the top, they are no more than ordinary monks, but their strength is about the same as that of the bird and mouse view when Mengcheng was ruined.

However, the reason why this Yujiazong is admirable is because it is a branch of the overseas fairy mountain Penglai. Every 20 years, when the gods from the overseas fairyshan Penglai come to Yucheng, they are all received by the Yujiazong.

And this selection, every 20 years, selects young people between the ages of ten and 30. If they are selected, they can live in Penglai, an overseas fairy mountain.

If you are lucky, you will be able to worship the immortals in Penglai overseas, and you will reach the sky in one step.

There were once selected monks who returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, and even the suzerain of the Yu Family Sect was like a servant.

The legendary overseas fairy mountain is simply a blessed place in the world, gold and precious jade are everywhere, the river is full of fine nectar and jade liquid, and the sky is full of rice... This legend makes Zi Baifeng laugh and cry. This kind of legend is simply It's like a joke about the emperor's golden pole.

But the spiritual energy in the world is exhausted, and all living beings are suffering. All the foolish people in the world do not want to be relieved, and all hope that this kind of life will really fall on themselves, just like the heavenly scene described by people from certain sects. Maybe you know it's fake, but you can't help but pursue it.Not to mention, the vast majority of people don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and only think that there are such places in the world.

Therefore, the selection every 20 years is simply the greatest expectation of more than a dozen cities in the vicinity. Every 20 years, there will be countless dramas where fathers abandon their sons, husbands abandon their wives, lose their high schools, and forget their concubines.

But even so, people are still flocking to it.

Zi Baifeng frowned as he listened.

"Old man, do you really think there is such a blessed land?" Zi Baifeng asked the boss.

"The place where the gods live is better than us mortals, not to mention, without the protection of the gods, how can we people live so peacefully." The boss said.

Zibaifeng shook his head.

In his opinion, the so-called overseas fairy mountains are really just like what the fisherman said, and they are not shallow.

On the one hand, the best young adults are searched every 20 years. This is like harvesting wheat. When crops are harvested, only one or two people are released. Where are the others?After experiencing the demon kingdom, Zi Baifeng couldn't help but think about it.

On the other hand, in order to compete for this spot, the loss of the family relationship and the deterioration of the folk customs here are also a great harm.

After communicating like this for a long time, the boss actually drank too much and fell asleep.

Zi Baifeng shook his head and was speechless for a while, he was going to ask the boss where his son was.

I don't know where this man who wants to get caught has gone.

Shaking the boss, the boss didn't answer, Zi Baifeng took some money and put it under the boss's hands, then turned and walked out.

He intends to see where this so-called "Penglai Fairy Mountain" is.

These people are his people, how can they let people deceive them?

Moreover, maybe this is not an isolated phenomenon. There are countless small towns scattered on the coastline of Donghai Prefecture. If there are places like Yucheng in other places, it has been thousands of years. How many people go.

Zi Baifeng walked out the door, Shu Yue's body moved, it was about to turn into a bracelet and return to Zi Baifeng's wrist.

Zi Baifeng tightened his fingers and grabbed Shu Yue's hand.

Zi Baifeng knew that Shu Yue didn't like turning into a bracelet and staying on Zi Baifeng's wrist, but she was worried about causing trouble to Zi Baifeng, so she wronged herself.

Zi Baifeng doesn't care about these things, how many people in this world can give him trouble?I'm afraid I can count them on one hand.

He clenched Shuyue's fingers, and the two of them crossed their fingers, and Shuyue turned her head away, blushing.

"Oh! Young Master and Eldest Sister!" Ba Gui cheered, and wanted to say a few more words when Tian Mo slapped him on the forehead, buzzing for a while.

Shuyue is a sword demon, and even the most powerful among them, so it's not surprising that these sword demons all call her big sister.

Shu Yue tilted her head and wiped lightly in front of her face, the white veil that was looming before became thicker now, covering seven or eight parts of Shu Yue's face.

But how can Shu Yue's cold temperament and graceful figure be covered up by a veil?

When they went out the door, everyone they saw was stunned. Some people even forgot to walk, and tripped themselves up instead.

Zi Baifeng didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, but instead pointed and pointed, he was overjoyed.

This is the first time that Zi Baifeng went shopping in this way. For a while, Zi Baifeng almost forgot that he still had a task to do.

Fortunately, Zi Baifeng came to his senses very quickly, and led the crowd all the way to the west, and after a while, they arrived at the huge platform.

The platform is made of wooden boards, a few meters away from the sea surface. The thick wooden piles are driven into the seabed, and a platform is built on the sea surface, which is a bit like reclaiming the sea to build a field.

This kind of project can't be done by brute force alone, it must be mixed with some magic methods.

There is a high platform in the center of the platform, and there are seven or eight monks sitting on the high platform. Looking at it from Zi Baifeng's eyes, it is natural that their cultivation level is low, but their demeanor is extremely arrogant.

Under the high platform, young men and women lined up one after another, and walked up to the high platform in turn, and those people judged and decided whether they would stay or not.

Zi Baifeng had just walked to the side of the high platform with his Shu Yue, and suddenly someone said impatiently: "Why is it crowded? First come first and then arrive first? Let me line up at the back!"

Zi Baifeng took a closer look, but it was the rude young man he met when he entered the city just now, he didn't know why he was delayed, his face was full of anxiety, looking carefully, besides anxiety, there was another Palm prints.

Such a trendy dress made Zi Baifeng wonder, what happened to this man?
The young man saw Shuyue beside Zi Baifeng, but he was stunned for a moment, and after a while he muttered: "The cabbage is so good."

Bagui and Tianmo twitched from laughing behind Zi Baifeng, but they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being kicked away by Zi Baifeng.

Under the veil of beaming moon, there was also a slight smile. Although this smile was through the veil, it still made Zi Baifeng a little dull.

Zi Baifeng always had a knot in his heart towards Shu Yue, but now that the knot is gradually gone, it is much more natural for the two of them to get along.

"So you are here." Before Zi Baifeng got rid of Shu Yue's smile, he heard a deep voice.

He turned his head and saw the fisherman standing behind him.

The fisherman lowered his voice, and said to Zi Baifeng: "If you want to find Dongfang Tianzhu, now is a shortcut."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Not long after, Zi Baifeng saw him standing on a corner of the high platform, with his chest and belly raised, and he stood still.

Obviously, their Yu Family Sect is responsible for receiving these monks from Penglai Xianshan, and is also responsible for maintaining order and security at this time.

Hearing what the fisherman said, Zi Baifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he exchanged a glance with Shuyue, and the four of them slapped themselves at the back of the line.

"Here! Here!" As soon as they lined up, a few more people came behind them. Although it was the last day and there was still more than an hour before the end, there were still many people coming from all directions.

Zi Baifeng estimated the speed and the number of people in front of him, and felt that it was almost time for him, and the time was almost over, and the people behind were more uncertain.

At this moment, Zi Baifeng heard the sound of crackling footsteps from behind again, and then a person squeezed in front of him, his eyes swept over them, and his eyes fell on the young man in front of him who had been slapped , grabbed him: "It's you again? Just right, make room for us! Come out!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but dragged the young man out, and then smiled and said to the other person: "Okay, I found a place for you, and I will keep it so that you can catch up."

"You can't do this!" The young man struggled desperately, "I was dragged out by you just now, you can't do this, you can't do this!"
