Lanke Chess Edge

Listening to the meaning of Du Guoshi's words, apart from Daoming the seriousness of the situation, there is also a feeling that if he misses this opportunity, he doesn't want to care about it. Xiao Du and Xiao Ling are speechless. As a son, Xiao Ling is very rare in his own eyes. There was a look of bewilderment and panic in his father's eyes.

Strictly speaking, compared to his father Xiao Du, Xiao Ling is someone who has truly seen monsters and gods, and also experienced extraordinary methods. He understands in his heart how fragile mortals are to these existences. One is one, two is two, do not do redundant things.

"Father, we have no choice!"

With firm eyes, Xiao Ling nodded towards Xiao Du, then stood up and bowed to Du Changsheng who was sitting on the chair.

"Thank you for the help of the national teacher. We will go to Tongtian River, and we will immediately prepare livestock and other things to sacrifice to the old turtle and the river god."

"Hey, as soon as possible, Du will accompany you."

Du Changsheng sighed, and he could only express it verbally, he didn't care what happened, he was still sighing, Xiao Du came back to his senses and asked in a low voice again.

"The national teacher also met Jiangshen Empress, so about my son's body..."

Du Changsheng shook his hand holding the teacup, Xin Dao almost forgot about it, and quickly reminded Xiao Dudao with a serious face.

"If you can meet Empress Jiangshen at that time, please don't talk too much about it. Empress Jiangshen punished Young Master Xiao a little bit back then. It wouldn't be a big problem to cultivate for a while, but how could Young Master Xiao be able to do so in just two years? He married two concubines again, and he wasted so much of his Yuanyang Qi while his vitality had not yet recovered. He directly injured himself. After ten or eight years of good care, he might still be able to recover. If you mention this in front of Jiang Goddess thing……"

Du Changsheng sneered.

"Humph, originally Jiang Shen's empress may not have the same knowledge as your mortals. At most, she thinks that Mr. Xiao's love is stronger than gold is just a lie of mortals. When you mention this, you will be self-defeating and offend Empress Ying, that is, you have escaped the old turtle. In this calamity, I am looking for death myself, and I will make Du Mou hate Ying Niangniang for no reason, so don't try to kill me!"

Hearing Du Changsheng's words so solemnly, Xiao Du felt a little regretful, while Xiao Ling's face became dry. The father and son nodded repeatedly, knowing the seriousness of it, they didn't dare to speak in advance.

Du Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief again, and thought to himself, I am really saving you, the national teacher. I am not telling the truth, but the result is probably not bad.

Many servants of the Xiao family mobilized, because they had been preparing for Xiao Ling to marry a concubine before, so some sacrificial supplies in the family were well stocked, and they found some animals to kill immediately. The sky is ready for everything, and the sun is almost setting.

On this day, apart from eating something before going to court, the Xiao family father and son hardly ate anything, nor did they have any thoughts or appetites, and Du Changsheng also did not eat any regular meals, and helped the Xiao family with their busy schedules and tidying up the sacrificial materials. objects.

In Xiao's living room, Du Changsheng was drinking tea with some pastries, Xiao Ling hurried in from outside.

"Master, everything is ready!"

Xiao Du also came from behind and asked cautiously.

"Master, it's getting late, the sun has already started to set, shall we go tomorrow morning?"

Du Changsheng stood up clapping his hands, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the hall door.

"It's not too late, let's go right away!"

At this time, the Xiao family had already made Du Changsheng their backbone. Since Du Changsheng said to leave immediately, no matter how apprehensive they were, they could only bite the bullet and order to go.

With his hands behind his back, Du Changsheng walked all the way to the gate of Xiao's mansion, and saw three apprentices actually appearing in front of the gate.

"Master! Here we come!"

"Huh? You are not recovering, what are you doing here? What happened today may not be safer than the previous Bagua Yinxing formation."

Du Changsheng added in his heart: at least the degree of shock must be more than that.

"Master, aren't you still recovering from a serious injury? Subduing demons and eliminating demons is the responsibility of my generation of practitioners, so how can we be short of disciples!"

Du Changsheng grinned, this is not to slay demons.

"If things go well, there's no need to go to war, it's good to go together, it's considered seeing the world!"

As he said that, Du Changsheng raised his head and looked towards the corner across the street. An old eunuch was facing Wei Wei, and it was Li Jingchun, one of Hongwu Emperor Yang Hao's personal eunuchs.

Li Jingchun had seen Du Changsheng's methods with his own eyes, and knew that he could not hide from the eyes of the national teacher, so he simply saluted him at the corner of the street. Anyway, he also knew that the national teacher was a smart person, and he knew what he represented here, so he saw Du Changsheng. Chang Sheng just nodded slightly, and didn't return the salute or say anything.

When he met Li Jingchun, Du Changsheng knew that the emperor knew that something happened to the Xiao family, but he definitely didn't know what happened, and maybe he was still suspecting that it was a trick of the hostile faction.

'Hmph, let the emperor take a look, this is Xiao's disaster, but how can it have nothing to do with Yang. '

Of course, Du Changsheng had to admit that Xiao Jing, the ancestor of the Xiao family, made a big death himself in the end. This has nothing to do with the Yang family, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The carriages were led to the main entrance by the servants of the Xiao family, and the father and son of the Xiao family, who had put on cloaks and suede cloaks, had already come out. They glanced at the servants who were loading the sacrificial items into the carts, walked up to Du Changsheng, and pointedly toward Du Changsheng. The three of Wang Xiao cupped their hands.

"The three high-ranking disciples of the National Teacher have also arrived? Please get in the car, we will leave the city immediately."

Du Changsheng did not turn his gaze to the street corner. After nodding, he took the three apprentices into the carriage together, while the Xiao family got into the carriage one by one and the horse on the horse. After less than half an hour, the Xiao family's convoy had a total of three carriages, and the accompanying servants Including the carriage driver, there were only four old servants, and they set off together towards the east gate of Gyeonggi Prefecture City.

The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so the Xiao family did not bring in too many people, and they also understand that this time it is not something that can be handled by a large number of people or power.

Each of the three carriages was pulled by two horses, and Xiao Ling rode alone in front. In the setting sun, Gyeonggi Province was full of people returning home, but they would avoid three carriages and one horse in advance, because the last carriage was loaded With too many sacrificial supplies, the overall team is not very fast.

Xiao Ling looked sideways at the sky and murmured as he rode his horse.

"I hope it can end before dark. Fortunately, the weather today is clear, and it won't be too dark even if it gets dark."

Also at this moment, on the remote bank of the Tongtian River, Ying Ruoli, who was sitting at the table, picked up the teacup and splashed it lightly into the sky. The situation gathers.

"Boom..."

Thunder rang out, and a large cumulonimbus cloud covered the setting sun in the sky in a short period of time. Whether it was in the city or on the road, or some people who were still wandering by the river, they all ran back to the boat or the pier to avoid the rain. .

It didn't take long before the pouring rain fell "crash..." and the sky was still daytime in the afterglow of the setting sun. Because of the heavy rain, it suddenly seemed to be night. The sky became gray and the visibility became lower and lower. .

The Xiao family had no choice, they had already reached this point, no matter how heavy the rain was, they had to move forward, because they were afraid that the thunder would startle the horse, so several servants got out of the carriage and led the horse away.

Muddy and cold, heavy rain and lightning, raging wind and waves hitting the shore, Xiao and his party spent more than half an hour in the bad weather after leaving the city, and finally arrived at the relatively remote shore with Du Changsheng, who had already got off the car to lead the way. On the side, the lights of the pier in the distance can still see a glimmer of light in the storm, but it is very blurry.

"Master, is this here?"

Xiao Ling approached Du Changsheng and yelled hard to ask the other party, but he couldn't hear clearly without shouting.

"It's right here!"

Du Changsheng glanced at the river and looked not far away. Ji Yuan was still playing chess at his desk, while Longnu was resting her chin on the back of her hand. Looking at this side, the storm seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them. The lights were also quite bright, and naturally Xiao and his party couldn't see them.

"Master, master, be careful!"

Xiao Du also wanted to get off the carriage, but before he could stand still, the cloak on his back was brought by the strong wind and Xiao Du fell into the river. The servant was so scared that he hurriedly grabbed his master.

An old servant wanted to hold an umbrella for Xiao Du, but not long after the umbrella was opened, the ribs of the umbrella broke directly, and the plan to find the lantern was even more idiotic.

"Woo... woo... woo..."

The strong wind was howling, and the three carriages "creaked and creaked" swayed with the wind, and the huge waves in the Tongtian River were surging, and they would hit this bank from time to time, causing endless splashes, and falling towards Xiao Shi and his party.

This kind of wind and rain, in the eyes of mortals, is already a monster wind and rain, and the Xiao family felt that it might have something to do with the giant tortoise.

"Fellow Daoist Wu——Fellow Daoist Wu—Master Xiao has already arrived, and I hope that Fellow Daoist Wu will show up to see you!"

"Woo... woo..."

The surface of the river was pitch black, and the only time we could see clearly was when lightning appeared.

"Boom..."

The thunder sounded, and the lightning illuminated the Tongtian River. Xiao and his party discovered that a huge vortex appeared on the surface of the river several feet away, and there was a huge black shadow lying there in the lightning.

"Clah la la la..."

Jiang Tao rolled and flashed with thunder, and a terrifying black shadow slowly rose from the vortex on the river.

"Hehehehe...hahahahahaha... It's been two hundred years. Xiao Jing almost caused me to lose my foundation of cultivation. The descendants of the Xiao family have a good life!"

"Boom..."

The giant tortoise lay on the bank of the river, making terrifying sounds under the light of the thunder, and more often than not, black smoke-like substances rose up, and the demonic light in its eyes was breathtaking.

Du Changsheng was also a little frightened, but he reacted immediately. Seeing that the Xiao family and his party were too scared to move, he immediately sounded a reminder.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, Xiao's father and son are here, and I hope you understand that future generations don't know the mistakes of predecessors... Hurry up and kowtow, three hundred ringing heads are indispensable!"

Hearing this, the Xiao family father and son did not hesitate, kneeling directly on the river bank in the rain, and kowtowed to the muddy ground.

"The ancestor made a mistake, and the descendants don't know it. I beg Master Turtle to forgive me!"

"I beg Master Turtle to forgive me!"

"Papa papa..."

The father and son kowtowed on the mud floor and splashed muddy water continuously. Although it didn't hurt very much, they gradually became a little dizzy. The servants behind him didn't dare to stand, and kowtowed together.

During the whole process, Lao Gui looked down at the members of Xiao's family without saying a word, Long Nu and even Du Changsheng also watched quietly, but Ji Yuan was still focused on the chessboard.

I don't know how long it has passed, the Xiao family and his party have already kowtowed until they are dizzy and can't kneel steadily. Three hundred bangs are only a lot. Xiao Du fell directly in the mud and was helped up by Du Changsheng.

"Ho... ho... Mr. Turtle, what else do you want?"

Xiao Ling spoke on behalf of his father, mustered up the courage to look at the terrifying giant tortoise, and the accountant Yuan also looked up at the old tortoise.

The old turtle could see Ji Yuan looking up from the corner of his eye, he knew that this moment might be what Mr. Ji wanted to see, but he didn't feel uneasy for a long time, he just said to Xiao Shi with a smile.

"Your ancestors of the Xiao family were human beings, but no one has morals. My old turtle, Wu Chong, is a monster, but I also know right from wrong. I did have grievances against the Xiao family for two hundred years. Seeing you now, I feel so ridiculous, so ridiculous. Hahahaha...ahhahahahahaha..."

The old turtle's laughter overwhelmed the thunder and wind and rain, spread far to the Tongtian River, and spread across both sides of the river. In the distance, it was like a strange roar, which made everyone who heard it tingle.

"Hey... Don't worry, my old turtle will not kill today, as long as Mrs. Xiao repays what I owe. From now on, Mrs. Xiao will not be an official, and I have to find all the lights of the Heshan House for me. Mujiang lights up!"

"No, not to be an official..."

Xiao Du murmured tremblingly, while Xiao Ling asked loudly.

"Hundreds of lights? Only a hundred?"

"Hehehehe, that's right, it's the same as two hundred years ago, as long as there are hundreds of lights! You can get out!"

Old Gui knew that the Xiao family was doomed to be extinct, and he didn't want to do more evil. Now that the lights of hundreds of families have no effect on him, he thinks that he deserves it.

"Boom..."

A huge wave hit, knocking Xiao Du, Xiao Ling and others to the ground and fell backwards. Looking again, there were no giant turtles on the surface of the river in the thunder light.
