Chapter 207 Legend of the Dragon
In the room, there was dim candlelight.
A bunch of people were sitting, staring at each other.
Li Yan and others were all there, including Chen Jizu and his father who was in charge of the chamber of commerce, all with gloomy faces.
Such a loud noise in the middle of the night naturally alarmed many people.
Some people came out to watch the excitement, and the owners of the club, Chen Jizu and his son, also arrived. Upon seeing this, they said good things and asked everyone to disperse.
Sitting on the chair opposite them was a fat young man, his head lowered and his face full of frustration.
It was the man who recited the poem the day before yesterday.
This fat man is quite festive in appearance. He is wearing a black cloth and silk Confucian robe, white and plump, with a Confucian scarf on his head and a pair of Ebony Glasses.
Chen Jizu's father, named Chen Yuanqing, is not only the owner of this Jiangzhe Guild Hall, but also a big businessman.
He stared at the fat man and said, "Tell me, when did you master the technique? When did you become Treasure Hunter?"
Li Yan and others were also full of curiosity when they heard this.
Chen Jizu has already introduced the origin of this fat man.
His surname is Lin and his given name is Lin Yu. He comes from the Wu Prefecture family. He not only owns a large amount of fertile land, but also runs a silk mill and various shops. There are even many people in the family who are officials.
Moreover, this Lin Yu has been famous for his talents since he was a child. He has a photographic memory and is famous from far and wide, so he passed the Recommended Scholar exam easily.
It can be said that apart from being fat, he lacks nothing.
And the other party, at some point, turned into Treasure Hunter, and could control Mu Ke to come to their room to spy on their treasures.
If this kind of person wants money, he can take out tens of thousands of taels.
I really can't figure out why I would do such a sneaky thing.
Fatty Lin Yu was silent for a long time, and then muttered, "Master won't let me tell you, but I've learned it since I was a child, and I've been hiding it from my family."
"No wonder!"
Chen Yuanqing sneered, "You have learned some superficial skills, but you just want to cause trouble everywhere, right? You don't want your family to follow you, and you run here alone. You are really courageous."
"Tell me, why do you want to break into someone else's house?"
Lin Yu glanced at the Li Yan people secretly and said awkwardly, "They are full of Treasure Qi. I don't mean any harm, I just feel itchy and want to see what it is."
Li Yan's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you awake Eye Power? Can you still see Treasure Qi?"
Zhao the Donkey once told him about a kind of person who has awakened Eye Mystical Power, but Qi Observation, but what is different from others is that in addition to Gang Qi and Killing Intent, this kind of person can also see the Treasure Qi emitted by the treasure.
This kind of person can be said to be a natural treasure holder.
Lin Yu smiled, nodded and said, "This young hero is well-informed, few people know about Treasure Qi."
Chen Yuanqing on the side said coldly, "You are so bold. I will definitely tell your father about this."
"Also, which lineage did you study in?"
"Climb the mountains, explore the sea, or seek tranquility?"
Li Yan remained calm and glanced at the old man.
Han Kun can become the elder of Cao Gang, all because of this old man's operation, and he can also call out the three veins of Treasure Hunter, he is definitely not an ordinary person!
That Lin Yu grabbed the corner of his clothes and tugged it back and forth. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he could only say with a dejected face, "My master is a very knowledgeable person and knows a little about the three meridians. Then he went to sea with others and never came back."
"Well, I've never harmed anyone with magic..."
Chen Yuanqing shook his head slightly, sighed, raised his hands to Li Yan and said, "Young Hero Li, this Lin Yu is the son of my good friend, and he is also considered a nephew. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"I will pay whatever compensation you want."
"The old gentleman was joking."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "The old gentleman is kind and righteous by letting us live here. Besides, there is no loss and no compensation is needed."
As he said that, he turned to look at the opposite side, "The only thing I'm curious about is that the person who can make Brother Lin stay here for a long time must not be a beauty, right?"
Lin Yu smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
Seeing him like this, Chen Yuanqing was even more annoyed, "If you tell me, just say, you Lin Family have so many treasures, and you came here to hold them back yourself, just because you were full!"
"It's different!"
Lin Yu came to his senses and said mysteriously:
"Here... there is a dragon!"
Seeing everyone's disbelief, he suddenly became anxious and said, "This is mentioned in the booklet left by my master."
"There is Dragon Qi Spiritual Treasure in the mountains near Yunyang, but because the time was not ripe, we did not act rashly."
"I didn't believe it at first. I just ran here out of curiosity, but I actually saw the dragon energy and Dragon Shadow!"
"Also, do you know the origin of Yunyang Prefecture?"
"It is said that in ancient times, meteorites fell from the sky. The night was like daylight, dazzling for dozens of miles, and there was thunder like the roar of dragons."
"Where the meteorite fell, the north is yang, the south is yin, the left is yang, and the right is yin, and the vicinity of the place where the meteorite fell coincides with the place where the dragon's energy appears."
"I guess that what fell at that time was not a meteorite, but a dragon head. At least there should be a keel or something...
Although what he said was conclusive, Chen Yuanqing obviously didn't believe it and said coldly, "Thanks to you for reading poetry and books, don't you know what the dragon's nature is?"
"Dragon can be big or small, it can ascend or hide, it has the ability to swallow up the heaven and earth. If it is big, it can swallow up the sky and the earth. If it is small, it can hide and hide its form. From ancient times to the present, how many people can really see it?"
"It's useless to think about all this."
"If you really want to contribute to the Lin Family, the Mu Ke left by your master is a treasure. Use this spirit to explore the spiritual treasures in the mountains. Tell your father, Lin Family will definitely take it seriously..."
"Don't do this!"
Lin Yu became anxious when he heard this. He stood up quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Chen, my master once said that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, just like the way of yin and yang. Good fortune and misfortune in the world usually come together."
"My Lin Family Prosperity is enough, and I can still hold on now, but if I use Mu Ke to get the treasure, it will lead to disaster."
"I'm just curious and want to take a look."
Chen Yuanqing heard this rebuttal, but he was not angry. Instead, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said is indeed correct. Your Lin Family's current momentum does still lack some official power to suppress it."
"It takes more than one generation to make further progress."
After saying that, he snorted coldly, "That's why you should live up to what you have learned in your heart, obtain an official status, and protect Lineage."
"Instead of hurrying to Beijing to take care of things, I wandered around, wasting time, and even lied to me that I was going to meet a good match... and that I should be beaten!"
Fatty Lin Yu had a bitter look on his face and did not dare to speak anymore.
Seeing that the two of them were getting further and further apart, Li Yan quickly interrupted and said with a smile, "Young Master Lin, can you tell me the place you mentioned?"
"We in the world are always surrounded by blessings and misfortunes, so we are not afraid of these."
Chen Yuanqing's face changed slightly, but he didn't stop him.
Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, everyone wants it, but he just asked Lin Yu to say that it is not easy to go back on his word now.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, but he did not stop him and said, "That place is just outside the city Azure Dragon Mountain."
"You guys are very capable, can you open my eyes to me? I don't want a baby, I just want to see what it is..."
"No!"
Chen Yuanqing on the side yelled angrily, "It seems you haven't given up yet. You are not allowed to go anywhere. I will send someone to escort you to Beijing tomorrow!"
Lin Yu After hearing this, his face became even more depressed.
Li Yan was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "Senior Chen is right, you really shouldn't go to that place."
He said, looking at Chen Yuanqing, "To be honest, I went to City God Temple during the next day and received some tasks from the Enforcement Hall."
"This Azure Dragon Mountain is one of them. A few days ago, people often disappeared, saying that Strange Beast was haunting, which made people panic."
"There are Meishan Dharma Sect masters who go into the mountains to hunt animals, and they never come back. There must be a lot of danger."
"When I leave tomorrow, I will stop by to investigate. If it is really dangerous, I will report it to City God Temple."
"Oh, that's it."
Chen Yuanqing heard this and sighed, "I heard from a good friend that whenever there is a disaster, there will be a monster that appears in the world. It must have something to do with Yunyang Prefecture."
He said, looking at Lin Yu, "Yunyang Prefecture is not a place to stay for a long time. If you leave too late, you might get stuck here and delay the exam."
"I will make arrangements now and send you away tomorrow."
"Go back and pack your things!"
"If you dare to run around again, I will beat you until you can't get out of bed, and then send you to the capital to recuperate."
"Yes."
Lin Yu looked depressed and lowered his head...
"Are you leaving now?"
The next day, Han Kun, who learned the news, came to the inn early in the morning.
Li Yan clasped his fists solemnly and said, "We also accepted the request of our friends to help his mother treat her illness, so we don't want to delay it too much."
When Han Kun heard this, his face was full of admiration, and he said to Chen Yuanqing on the side, "This is why I value little brother Li."
"Because of their promise, they sent the coffin back to his hometown thousands of miles away, but the man had no relatives or friends and was alone. It is increasingly rare to see him in this world."
Chen Yuanqing also caressed his beard and said, "A promise worth a thousand dollars, Guanzhong Blade Wielders, it seems that Tang Era's heroic spirit is still here..."
"You two seniors are so complimentary." Li Yan shook his head slightly.
Han Kun's face became solemn, "After receiving your news, I discussed with the gang leader yesterday to rectify Cao Gang. I don't have time to entertain a few of them, so I might as well leave Yunyang as soon as possible."
"Also, you go to East River Ferry, which is the territory of the Raft Sect. If I go to see you off, I will cause trouble for you, so I will say goodbye here."
"Raft Sect has been acting crazy recently. He has also strictly checked people in the rivers and lakes in the past. If you get on their boat, you will inevitably get into trouble."
"I have a good friend in East River Ferry. He often sends people to various places in Ezhou. He is skilled in boat handling and knows the water and land routes in various places. If you go to him directly, you can save a lot of trouble."
Saying that, he handed over a hand card.
"Thank you, senior."
Li Yan took it respectfully, thanked him and said goodbye.
"Goodbye."
"Be careful along the way."
After saying goodbye to everyone Human Path, the four Li Yan got up and hit the road.
They first went to City God Temple, took the Lu San ultimatum, and then went to the east gate East River Ferry.
On the ferry, the atmosphere was definitely not right.
Some men were armed with sharp weapons and had gloomy eyes. They looked around from time to time. They were obviously Raft Sect's target, and they were afraid that Cao Gang would send someone to cause trouble.
Li Yan and others sensed something was wrong and tried to keep a low profile. In addition, they took their luggage and looked ready to leave, so no one came to question them.
"That's it."
At the corner of the ferry, they finally found the boat Han Kun mentioned.
The ship is not small, with a cabin and white sails, so it is not exquisite, but even if it rains on the road, it is no longer afraid.
There is an old man sitting on the bow of the boat, wearing a bamboo hat, fishing leisurely. Next to him, several boatmen are busy cleaning the deck.
"This senior..."
Li Yan As soon as he walked over to ask, the old man spoke quickly and whispered, "Do you have any cards?"
When he saw the hand card Han Kun handed to Li Yan, the old man immediately whispered, "Don't talk much, get on the boat immediately, let's talk after we get out of the ferry."
Li Yan and the others immediately understood. Silently, they boarded the ship with their luggage, and then got into the cabin to wait.
"Set sail and set off!"
The old man shouted, and the wooden boat slowly left the ferry...
As soon as they left, Chen Yuanqing came to East River Ferry with an angry look on his face, looking around and cursing:
"This Lin Yu is so audacious and wicked!"
