C799 Horned Dragon Pool
There were only two days left before the official announcement of the opening date of the Dragon's Horn Pool. Xiluo City, which rarely had outsiders in the past, became lively all of a sudden. On the streets, it could be seen that foreign cultivators with swords and sabers were extremely curious about all sorts of new things.
There were a lot of inns in Xiluo City. The shopkeepers were never afraid of losing money because every season, they would have a few days to earn a lot of money. That was when Dragon Lake was about to open. These inns weren't open in March, so they had been closed for three months.
Because Chen Chang He and Hong Yu arrived late, when they entered Xiluo City, the upper class inns were already filled, and they could only stay at a small teahouse on a remote street.
The owner of the small teahouse was a slightly hunchbacked old man. Although his movements were a bit slow, his face always wore a kind smile when serving tea or collecting money. When a person was old, they always liked to chat with young people, which would temporarily let off some of their loneliness.
He was always smiling as he told the guests that he had buried half of his body into the ground. It didn't matter how much money he earned, he would be satisfied just by being able to chat with someone full of vitality.
The old man was very talkative. After serving the two cups of tea, he said with a smile: "Xiluo City is bustling with noise and excitement every year, so although I have never come out of the Western Territory in my life, I have seen all kinds of people. This kind of beautiful girl is truly a first. If this old one was any younger, even a pair of eyes would not be able to move. "
Hong Yu did not have the usual indifferent expression. She politely smiled, accepted the cup of tea, and said: "You are too courteous."
At the side, Chen Chang Mo laughed loudly, and said: "She is indeed beautiful, but it is a pity."
The old man curiously asked, "What's a pity?"
Chen Chang Tian laughed: "It's a pity that she's not my wife, otherwise if I had such a beautiful wife, I wouldn't even trade her for the imperial throne. I would have just been watching over her all day, how would I have the mood to go to such an arduous place like the Horned Dragon Pool?" Old man, don't you think that's reasonable? "
After the old man heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "That's reasonable, little bro's words are very reasonable. "Since ancient times, heroes have never been able to pass the beauty test."
Hong Yu's attitude towards Chen Chang He was not as gentle as it was towards the elderly, she stared coldly at Chen Chang He, and said: "Wait until we enter Dragon Lake, I think that you should first 'enjoy' inside the illusion technique, and then I'll save you, but I won't be able to see you as being too important."
Chen Changyu was instantly terrified, and quickly smiled apologetically: "Sis, I was wrong, you drink tea, and you drink tea. Don't worry, once I enter Dragon Lake, I won't head east at all. If you want me to beat up a dog, I won't chase a chicken away! If it's really no good, why don't I beat your legs and rub your feet? "
Hong Yu looked at Chen Chang Ku, but ignored him.
Chen Changyu was not embarrassed at all, he scratched his head with an obsequious smile, then said to the elderly: "Old man, do you have a place to stay in this teahouse?"
The old man quickly wiped his hands on his body and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, little brother. We only provide tea and rest, but we don't have a place to stay." "This old man's family can't even afford a building, and he can't afford a waiter either. He can only work by himself in this small teahouse, dealing with tea cans and tea cans all day."
Chen Chang He looked around and found that the inside and outside of the small teahouse were filled with foreign cultivators, because there was really no place to stay, all of them sat down cross-legged and started cultivating. Cultivators were different from ordinary people. They didn't need to sleep on the bed every day. During this period of time, cultivating overnight could help replenish their spirit, so having a room was not a problem. It was enough to stay in the teahouse.
Even though the teahouse was small, the cultivators that sat inside had quite the background.
With a glance, Chen Changsheng saw a few familiar figures. Two were women and one was a male; it was the group of three that had helped Gong Jing Er back in the Lion Tiger Building — Liang Bokang, Wang Ying, and the lady in white.
In addition to the three from the Book Sword Association, there was a table full of women wearing white robes and wearing white shoes with a veil over their heads. When Chen Changyu was in the passage of time, he had heard people talking about a power in Yu Yu that was as famous as the Green Lotus Sword Villa, known as the White Cloth Monastery. It only accepted females, and any females in the White Clothes Monastery would definitely be covered in white clothes, white shoes, and swords.
Looking at this group of women, Chen Changyu could not help but think of his younger sister from his previous life, Chen Qiongxiao.
That girl hated this kind of female cultivator the most. She claimed that this group of people claimed to be elegant and noble, but in reality, they were pretending to be pure, aloof and elegant. When they saw this, they were annoyed.
I wonder how that girl is doing right now …
When he thought of Chen Qiong Xiao, Chen Chang He sighed deeply. He was worried that if the news of his death were to spread, she would use all her powers and fight to the death with the Qiong Hong Palace which was controlled by Ying Ji.
"Bastard, quickly move your dirty eyes away!"
Just as Chen Changyu was worried about his sister, he was pulled back to reality by a gentle rebuke.
Squinting his eyes, he saw that it was a lady in white, who had been sizing him up a moment ago. Now that she was facing him, although he could not see her face, she was probably angry.
It turned out that Chen Chang Ku had been distracted for a moment, and his gaze was fixated on them for too long, being treated like hooligans.
He could not help but recall his sister's views on this kind of female cultivator and could not help but laugh.
Chen Chang He did not have the mood to bicker with this group of white-clothed women, he just shook his head and sat down without bickering with them.
Following the white clothed female's rebuke, the gaze of the entire room was directed towards outside of the house towards Chen Chang He and Miss Hong Yu.
Liang Bokang and the other two were surprised, because they obviously did not expect to meet Chen Chang He here. Although Chen Chang He's performance in the Lion Tiger Building was not considered amazing, his status was enough to catch their attention, while the other cultivators' gazes only rested on Chen Chang He for a moment, before naturally landing on the red jade, and their gazes became passionate.
Although the women of the White Cloth Monastery had added a bit of mystery to the power fence, leading the men to explore the truth, these mysteries, when compared to the beauty of the red jade, were immediately thrown into the dust.
How beautiful must a woman who could sit in the pavilion and attract the current emperor to her side be?
That old man was right, the younger cultivators couldn't even keep their eyes away from him!
"..."
Chapter 800: The Meeting
Inside the teahouse, there was a table with three people sitting around it: an old man, a man, and a woman.
The old man was dressed in a grey robe and was as unmoving as a mountain; the young man held the back of his head with both hands, his handsome face had a cynical smile, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised in a charming manner; the young girl was innocent and lively, with a smile on her face, as if she was filled with curiosity about everything; even the ordinary white porcelain bowl in front of her was happily playing with it for a long time, looking extremely cute and charming.
The corner of the young man's mouth curled up as he said with great interest: "Tsk! Even the Spring Breeze Pavilion's Miss Hongyu came. It seems that the news of an unusual movement in the Dragon Horn Pool has spread far and wide."
The grey-robed elder said indifferently, "Although on the surface, Miss Hong Yu is here to protect that young man from the Qiaoqi branch, the status of Hong Yu is enough for some of the people under my command to travel with her. That old fox Chen Deli might have already had the intention of letting her come here."
The young man laughed mischievously and said, "This guy has stirred up quite a bit of trouble in the capital these past few days. He does indeed have my old style." If it was another time, I would have asked him to drink a few cups with me. Unfortunately, this time, there was some movement in the Dragon Horn Pool, and if he really blocks my way, then I can only take his life. I just hope that he has some eyesight. "
"Pei pei pei, I don't know shame."
The girl who had been playing with the white porcelain bowl suddenly stuck her tongue out at the young man and said, "You even have your own demeanor. You are not the same kind of people." You haven't done anything good in the court trial, it's all a mess. Otherwise, why would others call you the number one of the four popinjays in the court trial? What I, Chen Chang Chen, do is a matter of hot-blooded. "
"Shangguan Wan'er!"
The young man fiercely cut the young girl with his eyes and said: "It's said that a girl who got married would splash water. Don't you know who I am? Don't forget, I'm your blood brother! "Stupid girl, if you dare to put another person's ambition on a pedestal and extinguish your brother's prestige, I won't even give you money when you get married!"
"Tsk."
The girl curled her lips and said: "Shangguan Qi Ye, with your stinginess, even if you gave me some, what kind of dowry would you give me? Aren't we worrying about it? I don't care, you are just not as good as Chen Chang He, what about it? I just heard his legend, and I like people like that. What's the matter? "
The stately Marquis of Peiping's, the current emperor's nephew, the leader of the four popinjays in the palace, Shangguan Qi Ye was a demon lord in the eyes of many, but he was easily defeated by his little sister, who had been pampered by him since he was young.
Shangguan Qi Ye mumbled to himself, "Wait until we get to Dragon Lake, then let's see how I'll deal with him."
Shangguan Wan'er's ears were bright. She immediately glared at him and said: "You dare?"
Shangguan Qi Ye was deflated at once, but still clasped his hands and begged for mercy: "Come on, I was wrong, I was wrong, all right? [Aren't we one of the four popinjays in the court trial? Your grandma should at least give me some face, right? Sigh, back then when my mother was about to give birth to a second child, I really should have advised her. "
Looking at the bickering siblings, the grey-robed old man had a relieved smile on his face.
He was the most trusted right-hand man of the Marquis of Beiping, and also the number one aide of the House of the Marquis, almost watching as Shangguan Qi Ye and Shangguan Wan'er grew up. He was the most trusted right-hand man of the Marquis of Beiping, and also the number one aide of the House of the Marquis of Beiping, and almost watching as Shangguan Qi Ye and Shangguan Wan'er grew up.
Of course … Just based on Chen Chang Zhu, he wanted to injure Shangguan Qi Ye?
"Hur hur."
"..."
"It's so lively."
In the corner of the west wall of the teahouse sat two people. One was a small man with a head full of scoundrels and a stooped body. The other was a middle-aged scholar who could not move his hands away from his face.
He chewed the peanuts one by one and said: "Old Ancestor is right, there is indeed something going on in Dragon Lake, it seems like a treasure from Dragon Lake is about to be born, but f * ck, there are also many experts from the Great Court Empire, and there are so many experts in this small teahouse. How many people are gathered in the entire Xiluo City? "Elementary Scholar sour, if you play tricks on us, what are our chances of success?"
The middle-aged scholar stared straight ahead, his hand still holding the scroll as he lightly said, "As long as you do your best, you will obey the will of the heavens."1
"..." "Awful, so sour."
The short man rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't pull Wen, you can die. The name 'Avenger' really suits you, just like the name 'beautiful man' suits me."
The middle-aged scholar's hand that was holding the book trembled. He was glad that he had not eaten for an entire day, otherwise he would have to clean up.
The short man didn't have the slightest bit of self-knowledge as he continued to chew and say, "This Great Courtyard Empire is really interesting. In order to prevent the good stuff from flowing out of the Horned Dragon Pool, they actually set up a barrier around the Western Territory. Unfortunately, they couldn't calculate it in the slightest, so we came in from the other borders of the empire and then travelled thousands of miles before arriving at Xiluo City. "Good boy, if we don't take some good stuff from Dragon Lake, we'll be letting down on those worn out cloth shoes …" "Huh?"
Suddenly, the short man's expression changed as he looked to the west. There was a pillar of light that shot into the sky, shining brightly!
"..."
On the table with the woman in white.
Just as the overbearing lady stood up and was about to walk out to teach Chen Chang'e a lesson, a white slender hand suddenly stopped her wrist.
A young woman who was obviously the leader shook her head and said, "Junior Sister Qing Er, we have come under the orders of our master, we cannot allow any trouble to arise."
The woman in white who had already stood up said angrily, "Eldest Senior Sister, did you not notice how wretched that fellow's gaze was?"
The woman who was called the eldest senior sister was about to speak when her body suddenly trembled and she looked to the west.
At the same time, the entire teahouse, as well as the entire Xiluo City, saw a pillar of light soaring into the sky from the west!
"The Horned Dragon Pool is moving!"
Originally, there were only two days left until the opening of the Dragon Horn Pool, but now that a phenomenon had appeared, who would care about the so-called official time?
In almost an instant, all the cultivators in Xiluo City rushed out of the room at the same time, rushing towards the city from the west!
