Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

Chapter 95: Protector?

The situation on the Xianzhou Luofu, at least as figured out by the captain, is roughly what it is right now.

At least four forces, one after another, almost turned the entire [Luofu] upside down.

Collusion, taking advantage of troubled waters, internal strife...

"That's enough." Dan Heng raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling an inexplicable, heavy and unreal feeling in his heart.

The heaviness came from the fact that he finally learned from the captain the heavy past events from his previous life that had puzzled him for almost his entire life.

The illusion was that he had no real feelings about what the captain said. After all, the entanglement between the Five Heroes of the Clouds, the creation of the evil dragon, and the [Immortal] Messenger seemed too far away from him, Dan Heng.

"What are our plans now?" Dan Heng looked at the people gathered in the guest room of the inn.

"This point, Dan Heng..." Old Yang opened his mouth, seeming a little hesitant, "We also discussed it with Ji Zi on the train, and the final conclusion we reached is..."

Dan Heng's deep phoenix eyes stared at Walter who had spoken, waiting for the decision made by Starry Sky Train.

"It's up to you to decide." Lao Yang pushed his nose.

Dan Heng was stunned for a moment, but soon he felt that it was natural and reasonable, and a sense of disappointment arose in his heart.

It stands to reason that this concerns himself and he should make his own judgment on what to do.

But the disappointment was that he had no idea what to do.

Dan Heng was silent for a long, long time.

It was so long that March wanted to speak several times, but was brutally suppressed by Xing's knife. He had a lot to say but he knew that he couldn't persuade and shouldn't speak, so he could only cover his forehead and remain silent.

"Captain..." Dan Heng turned his gaze to the reliable adult who had been leaning against the wall, seemingly in a trance, "Ms. Ji Zi told me that I can trust you and can always ask you for advice. What should I do?"

The captain didn't say anything, just looked at the ceiling, but his silence seemed to speak for itself.

"To be honest, I don't recommend you to ask the captain for help now." Yuexia, who was standing beside the captain, turned to look at Dan Heng, "As someone who has been through this, I will give you the advice I just gave you."

Someone who has been through this...?

"When you don't know what to do, it is irresponsible to rashly throw the right to make decisions to others." Yuexia looked at Danheng seriously, but as soon as he finished speaking, the captain's hand pressed on his head.

"You also know that you are irresponsible to yourself, right?" The captain sighed quietly.

Yuexia's serious pretty face drooped slightly, "That's right."

"No matter how troublesome it is, if you sincerely ask me for help and feel that you really 'can't do anything', I can make the decision on my own, push the plan forward, and then face the still unknown outcome with dignity." The captain turned his head and looked at Dan Heng.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, the captain asked Dan Heng, "Do you think it's okay?"

I...think it's okay?

Dan Heng asked himself this question, but could not get an answer.

Not getting an answer is the best answer.

Because when you ask yourself, you cannot say yes with certainty, which is essentially a denial, and the answer is just three words: "no".

"It seems you understand." The captain nodded slightly, "Since we can't make a decision, why don't we change our thinking now."

Everyone's eyes turned to the captain.

"Would you like to go out for a walk?" the captain suggested with a smile.

The depressing atmosphere was swept away, replaced by a brief moment of shock and a little relaxation.

"Change your mood first and stop thinking about those heavy things. After all, even if the Immortal Boat explodes, we can just walk away. Besides, Luofu didn't welcome us very much from the beginning. After going out for a walk, maybe we will get something unexpected?"

The captain said so.

The crowd had no intention of refutation, so the group of six left the post station in a mighty manner.

The spy from the Tianbosi who was hiding not far from the post station quickly delivered the news to the intelligence desk of the Sixth Department after seeing the train crew leave the post station.

The group on the train started the sightseeing mode of eating, drinking and having fun directly at Xingcha Sea, while on the other side, in Changletian of [Luofu], the residence of General Tiance.

"The spy's intelligence." Yukong's steady and royal sister voice rang out in the empty mansion. A beam of light hit the virtual screen. On the screen, Danheng's profile, with a serious and tense look, appeared in front of the leader of the Sixth Division.

Yunqi Army, General Tiance.

The Tianbosi, the rudder of the sky.

Taibu Si, Taibu Fuxuan.

Dihengsi, Huifu Siheng.

The Engineering and Manufacturing Department, represented by Mr. Gongshu, will attend the meeting on behalf of Mr. Zhulun, the director of the Zhen Division.

Due to some historical issues, the position of Dan Ding Division was vacant. The person who was qualified to attend the meeting was very busy in Chang Letian because of the chaos caused by [Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine], so no one from the Dan Ding Division attended the meeting.

"General?" The projection of Taibu Fu Xuan turned his gaze to Jing Yuan who was sitting on the first seat.

"It is confirmed, it is Dan Feng's reincarnation." A hidden light flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes that seemed to never fully open, and he looked at Fu Xuan's projection, "Mr. Fu, are you sure about the information that Kafka got from the Qiongguan Formation?"

"I dare not believe it completely, but... at least in the past three hundred years, the Qiongguan Formation has never made a mistake, and I believe this time will be the same." Although Fu Xuan was reluctant, this was the fact, and she could only accept it.

"This is really interesting." Jing Yuan laughed in a low voice, but there was almost no smile in his voice. "The Star Core Hunters have done everything they could to send the Star Train team, who can perfectly help us solve the problem, to Luofu."

"The purpose is to connect the Starry Sky Train with our Immortal Boat, so that we [Luofu] will owe the [Starry Sky Train] a huge favor." Jing Yuan's eyes flashed.

"General, this is not interesting." Si Duo Yukong frowned. This queen who was so serious that she could be called harsh didn't like Jing Yuan's casualness at the moment. Even though she knew that Jing Yuan had such a personality and would not let her down, she didn't think about liking or getting used to it.

"From our perspective, this is indeed not interesting." Jing Yuan shook his head, "But, think about it from another angle."

"If everything goes as the Star Core Hunter expects, what will the Star Core Hunter gain? And what will the Star Train gain?"

Jing Yuan didn't intend to let the remaining four people deduce the answer on their own, so he gave them the answer directly.

"The Star Core Hunters will gain nothing. At least from a practical point of view, they will not gain any benefits, things, or advantages other than achieving their goal."

"And what about the Star Train?"

"They already had an Envoy of the Order of Abundance, and now they have an Envoy of the Order of Immortality, and have gained the friendship of the Immortal Boat Alliance. This makes us [Luofu] owe [Starry Sky Train] a huge favor that is difficult to repay."

"Isn't this interesting?"

These are the [Star Core Hunters], so what are they doing now? They are working hard to pave the way for the [Star Train].

"The Star Core Hunter is the protector of the Star Train?!" Fu Xuan said in astonishment.

"I didn't say that." Jing Yuan shook his head, staring at Dan Heng's profile, lost in thought.

He didn't say it, but that doesn't mean he didn't think about it.

Chapter 96: Jing Yuan's Invitation

"Soda bean juice...really don't want to try it? Hiccup~~"

"Eh... take it away, take it away. Can you drink something like this?" Sanyueqi reluctantly pushed away the drink that was pushed in front of him. The drink had a pungent smell of sour water.

"Really, it feels quite magical." Xing didn't understand why San Yue Qi was unwilling to try his recommendation.

"Last time, in the space station, that Kalibai looked good, but it was obviously just wine." Sanyueqi sniffed the smell in the air, and then stared at the star core essence carefully for a while, and sighed, "Only at times like this can people feel that you are also very special."

"For example?" The Star Core Spirit was confused and licked the drink on his lips.

"Eighty percent of people in this world would not find this kind of stuff tasty, but you think it tastes great." San Yue Qi counted on his fingers, "And drinking, I can get drunk for an entire afternoon with just one sip, but you can drink two bottles and nothing will happen to you."

"I have a good talent." The Star Core Spirit looked down at the soda bean juice in his hand, then turned his gaze to Yuexia who was already drinking the second bottle, and Danheng who was sipping it. "Look, Sister Yuexia likes it too, and Danheng drinks it too."

San Yue Qi turned around and looked at the two people behind him. He was silent for a while and fell into some self-doubt.

Is it really true that it just smells bad but tastes good?

But this is water, not some solid food that can be separated into layers. Reason and experience tell March 7 that a drink will taste the same as it smells when you drink it, at most it may taste a little lighter.

"It's better not to try it." Dan Heng looked at Sanyueqi and kindly reminded, "It's really not what you think. It smells bad but tastes good."

It would have been better if Dan Heng hadn't persuaded her. After this persuasion, San Yue Qi became more excited. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the can of Star Core Essence that was about to be delivered to her mouth, and put it directly to her mouth, saying, "To be a pioneer, you must be brave enough to try all kinds of new things..."

"vomit......"

In just a moment, a complex and indescribable feeling, like some kind of stale water that had been stale for a long time, rushed straight into March 7's brain, accompanied by the stinging sensation brought by the carbon dioxide bubbles rolling and bursting on the tip of the tongue.

She vomited, but didn't spit it out because she hadn't swallowed it yet.

"Isn't it the right time for me to come here?" A voice with a helpless smile sounded behind four young men (four?).

San Yue Qi, who was leaning on his knees and retching, reluctantly turned his head and looked at the beautiful fox woman who was walking towards him.

Stop the clouds.

"Wipe your mouth. Soda bean juice is not something most people are used to drinking." Tingyun took out a tissue and handed it to Sanyueqi, while he couldn't help but gloat over it. "Young people in Xianzhou don't drink this anymore."

San Yueqi recovered a little, wiped his mouth, and looked at Tingyun with a complicated expression, "Then why is it that every beverage machine is advertising soda bean juice?"

"Maybe..." Tingyun smiled, "It's to trick the foreigners into drinking..."

tough enough.

March wiped her mouth roughly. She felt like she had vomited everything out, but she still felt that the taste in her mouth could not be dispelled.

"Rinse your mouth." Yuexia handed a bottle of purified water to Sanyue.

March hurriedly accepted it with gratitude and took several big gulps, trying to wash away the strange sour taste in his mouth.

The Star Core Spirit drank half a bottle of bean juice in one gulp, turned his gaze to the [Pretender] in front of him, and said calmly, "Miss Tingyun, what's the matter?"

"Yes." Tingyun looked at the Star Core Spirit and nodded seriously, "The general would like to invite you all to move to the mansion to meet in person and discuss the current situation on the Immortal Boat."

"Is it really necessary to ask Miss Tingyun to make a special trip for such a small matter?" Dan Heng glanced at Ting Yun. It seemed like a casual remark, but in fact it carried a great deal of profound meaning.

"Mr. Siduo probably thinks I'm the most suitable candidate." Tingyun smiled. "After all, there seemed to be some unpleasantness in the Return Star Harbor before, but I think I get along well with you all."

The response was flawless.

"Very good, I'll notify Uncle Yang and the captain." Xing took out his cell phone and sent a message to the captain and Walter.

"Are those two going?"

"I want to find out some things about the fairy boat." Xing put down his phone and responded to Tingyun's question with a smile.

The [Pretender] smiled and asked no more questions.

The captain and Lao Yang also followed the main force at the beginning. After all, it was the captain himself who suggested going out to relax. But after passing by a storytelling stand, the captain and Lao Yang stopped together and then acted separately.

The captain and Lao Yang would definitely not go to the storyteller to inquire about the secret of the fairy boat. What they are inquiring about is the fox man standing in front of the star core spirit.

The representative of the [Minghuo] Merchant Corps, Miss Tingyun.

Not long after, the captain and Lao Yang whispered to each other and rushed to a corner of Xingcha Sea, where they reunited with the four young men and Ting Yun.

"I saw Xing told me that General Jing Yuan wants to meet us in person?" The captain raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ting Yun. He spoke directly without any beating around the bush. "Can you tell me what the specific situation is?"

"Let's talk about it on the way. It will take some time to get from Xingcha Sea to Changletian." Tingyun led the way and whispered to everyone on the train about the current situation.

The main thing is [The Secret of the King of Medicine].

Jing Yuan wanted to meet the Starry Sky Train members this time probably because he wanted to borrow their power to deal with Yaowang Secret, an organization that worships [abundance] and longevity.

"All the existing evidence points to the [Medicine King Secret Teachings]. They are inextricably linked to the explosion of the [Star Core] and are most likely the culprit." Tingyun, who was driving the Star Raft, recounted the news he heard from Yukong Siduo, "As outsiders and foreigners, you are very likely to come into contact with people from the Medicine King Secret Teachings."

"It can even be said that the reason why [Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine] has been able to develop in such a complicated way on the Immortal Boat is that it is inseparable from those barbarians who want to achieve immortality. Any barbarian is a potential member of their group."

"As for what needs to be done, you will understand it after you meet the general and have a personal interview." Tingyun paused for a moment and said, "If we can reach a cooperation, my next job will be to continue to serve as a guide for you and solve various tedious matters."

"Is that so?" The captain nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Tingyun."

Chapter 97: The Secret of the King of Medicine and the Alchemy Department

Chang Lotte.

According to Tingyun's introduction, it is probably the administrative center of Xianzhou [Luofu], but people in Xianzhou don't like to say that.

However, according to the understanding of everyone on the train, there is actually nothing wrong with the term "administrative center".

First of all, the general office of the Dihengsi is located in the cave of Changletian.

Secondly, the General Tiance’s Mansion is also located in Changletian.

Finally, the ordinary routes leading to Dandingsi, Gongzaosi, and Taibusi also have to transit through Changletian.

Those who come and go in Changletian are basically the high-ranking officials of Luofu. Because of the existence of this class of people, Changletian is basically one of the most prosperous caves in Xianzhou.

However, the above were all the prosperity in the past, or in other words, before the Star Core Chaos.
