Chapter 164 Sideways
The old man rowed the boat as if it were flying, and sat in the small cabin in the summer, squinting leisurely, and did not find anything unusual about the old man.
Lu Qingfeng is different, he always keeps an eye on the old man's every move, he knows that the old man is extraordinary, but he doesn't know whether he is friend or foe.
Lu Qingfeng couldn't see through the old man's cultivation, which showed that the old man's realm was much higher than him, in case this old man was an enemy, if he was not careful, he wouldn't know how he would really die at that time.
The boat was on the lake, speeding forward along a straight course, a distance of five or six thousand miles, not near, not far.
At Lu Qingfeng's speed, unless he used the Kunpeng Technique, if he was only flying, it would take him an hour or two to arrive.
Looking at the old man again, he was driving the boat and speeding forward at a speed faster than Lu Qingfeng's normal flight.
Summer, who was enjoying herself with her eyes closed, was also awakened by this flying speed, opened her eyes, looked at the lake that was speeding outside, and then saw that the old man's arms were still swinging slowly and rhythmically.
Summer's mouth opened into a circle, and he couldn't speak, and it was only a little more than an hour, and the island in the middle of the lake was already in sight.
Now it has entered the night, and it is not dark in this midsummer season, a full moon hangs high in the sky, countless stars twinkle, no matter how you walk, it is so far away, it seems to be eternal, like the eyes of a lover are tracking their steps.
Getting closer and closer to the island in the middle of the lake, the outline of the island is no longer hazy, and you don't need to explore it with your senses, you can already feel the enormity of this island with your naked eye.
When they were on the shore, Lu Qingfeng was in the northeast of the Freedom Lake, and the boat was sailing southwest, and now Lu Qingfeng saw the northeast of the island in the middle of the lake.
As the distance continued to approach, the outline of the island in the middle of the lake became clearer and clearer, and Lu Qingfeng stared intently at the city wall of the island in the middle of the lake.
Because he was shocked by the structure of this city, the reason why he was shocked was that the walls of this city turned out to be in the shape of a standard Bagua diagram.
The Divine Sense tried to scan the city wall, but it was bounced back, unable to penetrate it, let alone know the situation in the city.
Lu Qingfeng came from the Wudang faction, and he was very familiar with the five elements, gossip, and nine palaces, and he didn't know until he came here today that there were also gossip diagrams in this world, and he didn't know what kind of surprise the internal layout of the island in the middle of the lake would give him.
The boat quickly docked to the dock, abandoned the ship and landed, Lu Qingfeng thanked the old man again and again, the old man was still standing on the boat, looked at Lu Qingfeng with a smile, waved his hand to Lu Qingfeng, and signaled the three of them to hurry up and enter the city.
There are eight gates on the island in the middle of the lake, which are east, south, west, north and southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, and the gate that the three people want to enter is the northeast gate.
According to Dunjia, it is divided into eight gates: rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening, of course, these words cannot be written on the city gate, which requires the personal judgment of someone who is proficient in the formation.
Coming to the city gate, Lu Qingfeng pulled the huge copper ring on the city gate, and after a while, the city gate was opened to a thin crack that only one person could pass through guò, Lu Qingfeng and the three of them flashed into the city, and there was a clang behind them, and the city gate was closed again.
It was already night, and the gates were long closed, but whenever anyone wanted to enter the city, the gatekeepers would open the gates and let them in.
When the Nine Palaces Bagua Array was operating, it was changing every moment, and when Lu Qingfeng was in Wudang Mountain, he also had a certain understanding of Qimen Dunjia, but it was only an understanding.
Lu Qingfeng knew that with his current cultivation, there would be no possibility of escaping when he entered the Nine Palaces Bagua Array in operation, even if there was no super powerful formation, there were many people on the island in the middle of the lake who were stronger than him.
Before coming here, Lu Qingfeng didn't know that the island in the middle of the lake was like this, but since he came, he couldn't retreat for no reason, and Lu Qingfeng believed that the island in the middle of the lake would not use such a huge formation for himself.
Shaking his head, he no longer thought about these things, and the three of them walked on the streets of the city, and Lu Qingfeng found that the city was indeed the layout of the Nine Palaces.
After entering the city, the Five Elements entered the Lu Qingfeng Mud Pill Palace, turning into a golden point of light, slowly rotating around the Soul Sword.
Lu Qingfeng and Xia are still wandering on the streets of Huxin Island, learning about the situation of Huxin Island by the way.
After a period of investigation, the two of them had a general understanding of Huxin Island, and it turned out that there were many ordinary people on Huxin Island, and these people mainly operated restaurants and various shops.
There are tens of millions of people on the island in the middle of the lake, and the monks alone account for nearly 10 million, and these monks belong to the nine major forces.
The supreme leader of the nine major forces is the palace master, which is the palace master of Kan Palace, the palace master of Kun Palace, the palace master of Zhen Palace, the palace master of Xun Palace, the palace master of Middle Palace, the palace master of Qiangong, the palace master of Duigong, the palace master of Gen Palace, and the palace master of Ligong.
For countless years, the people who live in the Lake of Freedom have never seen what the palace masters of each palace look like, and in each palace, it is the spokesperson of the palace master.
The Grand Commander has three commanders, each of which has ten squadrons, and each squadron has ten squadrons, and each squadron has ten squadrons, each with a hundred men each.
In this way, the number of monk armies in each palace is 300,000, and the lowest cultivation of these 300,000 people is also the Immortal True Realm.
There are nine palaces in the entire island in the middle of the lake, that is, an army of 2.7 million monks, such a force, not to mention in the Gongyu Empire, even if it is the Eastern Fall Temple, in addition to having a slight upper hand in the ultimate power, other aspects must be willing to bow down.
Knowing this news, Lu Qingfeng was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a huge force on the island in the middle of the lake, and the Qingyun Sword Sect was like a three-year-old child compared to an adult.
The two came to a remote place, and Lu Qingfeng took off the robe of the Qingyun Sword Sect and changed into an ordinary white robe.
Although it was late at night, the island in the middle of the lake was still brightly lit, and the sound of buying and selling was endless, and Xiao Si at the door of the restaurant was still enthusiastically soliciting passers-by.
Lu Qingfeng and Xia came to the private room of a restaurant and ordered a few specialties from the island in the middle of the lake, and the two chatted while drinking and eating.
I know the distribution of power on the island in the middle of the lake, but I don't know how to gain a foothold here, although this is called the lake of freedom, but since the two of them entered the island in the middle of the lake, what they saw was that everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
Extreme disorganization is not present here, and with the occasional squads of soldiers patrolling the streets, it seems that the rumors about the Lake of Liberty are not true.
While the two were guessing, Xiao Er of the hotel walked into the private room and gave him the dishes he was given, and when Xiao Er turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng casually took out ten yuan crystals, shook his hand and threw them to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Little second brother, the two of us have just arrived, and we don't know much about this island in the middle of the lake, I don't know if the little second brother can introduce it to my brother, these ten yuan crystals are considered to be a reward for the little second brother." ”
Shopkeeper checked the ten pieces of Yuan Jing in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he casually put Yuan Jing in his pocket, Lu Qingfeng pointed to the chair next to him, and motioned for Xiao Er to sit down.
After Xiao Er sat down, he said to Lu Qingfeng courteously: "The two guest officers have found the right person, and they want to find out about the situation of the island in the middle of the lake, and in this hotel, there is really no one who knows better than me." ”
The shopkeeper's language skills are very strong, and he introduced the situation of the island in the middle of the lake to Lu Qingfeng and them in detail.
In Xiao Er's words, Lu Qingfeng already knew a lot of the content, but Lu Qingfeng did not interrupt Xiao Er's words, so that what he knew before was also fully confirmed.
After sending away the shopkeeper, Lu Qingfeng said to Xia: "Brother Xia, now we have two ways to go, one is for us to open a shop here and sell some things to earn some yuan crystals, and the other is to join one of the forces, idle people are not allowed to stay here, we must try our best to think of a way out, otherwise after three days, there will be forces coming to us for trouble." ”
Xia said: "I don't know anything else except the formation, I guess the formation will definitely not work here, you have also seen it, this is the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, who still uses the arrangement formation." ”
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile: "I can do alchemy, it's better for us to refine the pill first, there will be people who need the pill wherever it is." ”
Summer's eyes lit up, and then he returned to normal, looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "Brother Lu, although it surprises me that you can do alchemy, but I won't, you can't do alchemy, I can't watch it from the side." ”
Lu Qingfeng smiled when he heard what Xia said: "You want to watch it from the side, I don't want to, I am alchemy, you sell pills in the store, what do you think." ”
"Well, just do as you say," said Summer, "and now we'll go out and see if there's anything to be redeemed." ”
"Go now?" Lu Qingfeng smiled, "Can you find it now?" look, it's midnight, where to find it, you are anxious, more anxious than me." ”
Summer also smiled awkwardly: "Look at me, I forgot about this, well, let's drink here and wait until dawn." ”
The two waited in the hotel until dawn before coming to the street, the first time they came here, they were still very unfamiliar with the qiē here, and the two of them searched for it aimlessly on the street.
Not to mention, Lu Qingfeng and Summer's luck was really good, and not far away, I saw a piece of paper pasted on the door of a shop, on which the words for sale in the store were clearly written.
The location of this shop is not bad, it happens to be in the prosperous area under the jurisdiction of Gen Palace, the two walked in, Lu Qingfeng said to the shopkeeper: "May I ask if your store is for sale?"
Without waiting for the guy to speak, a middle-aged man came in through the back door, and when the guy saw it, he immediately said, "Boss, this gentleman wants to buy your shop." ”
The boss's eyes lit up, he looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "This gentleman, are you going to buy my shop, you see the location of my shop, in the jurisdiction of Gen Palace, there is nothing better than here." ”
"I also fell in love with this place," Lu Qingfeng said: "The location is good, but it's a little small, and it would be better if it was bigger." ”
"This shop is a little small, but it depends on what kind of business you do," the owner said with a smile. ”
Lu Qingfeng asked the shopkeeper: "I saw your store on the first day I came out, and I don't want to go anywhere else, how much do you want to sell, if I think it's appropriate, I'll buy it." ”
The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers, looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "Two million yuan crystals, to be honest, I'm really waiting to use yuan crystals, otherwise, I won't sell anything." ”
This amount is actually a drop in the bucket for Lu Qingfeng, I originally thought that the boss would definitely open his mouth, but 20 million yuan crystal is not expensive, Lu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, deal." ”
After speaking, Lu Qingfeng casually took out a storage ring, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Boss, you order a little yuan crystal to see if the number is right." ”
The boss's divine sense was immersed in the ring, and after a while, he withdrew his divine sense, looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "It's just right, it's not bad, this store is now yours, and I don't have anything to move." ”
"Slow, I bought this shop, who is so bold as to dare to buy the shop I fancied," it was a good thing, but when they encountered such a discordant voice, everyone couldn't help but look at the door.
