Chapter 609 Wushang Lake
On the Wushang Lake, there is a tent boat with a white head on the bow and a slightly stooped old man carrying a bamboo hat on his back. The sleeves of both arms are slightly rolled up, revealing that he is of this age. He was unbelievably strong, his hands were slowly rocking the oars, and the ship was sailing forward in an astonishingly smooth manner, unhurriedly.
At the stern of the boat, there is a girl in a black silk dress, with skin as smooth as cream, waist as tall as a willow, and a beautiful face, but her eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, as if she is thinking about something unhappy. . Sitting on the bow of the boat, hugging his knees, staring blankly at the lake.
"Miss, it's cold on the bow of the boat, go inside and rest." At this time, a middle-aged woman in a purple skirt came out, took a cloak and put it on the girl's shoulders to persuade her.
The girl is also a foundation-building monk, so naturally she will not be infected by the wind and cold in the world. However, every once in a while, there will be an extremely terrifying cold air coming out of Wushang Lake. It is the golden elixir monk who enters. The bottom of the lake will also be a little unbearable. Although they are on the lake now, the girl, a foundation-building monk, will still be affected to some extent if she stays at the bow of the boat for a long time.
"I don't know how my father and mother are doing now, or whether they were ever well." The girl sighed quietly.
"After all, the prince is your majesty's flesh and blood. Although he was punished for a while, he did not lose his life. He just lost his freedom temporarily. Maybe after a period of time, your majesty will think of the old relationship and forgive the prince. The prince has a good reputation and a kind heart, so he will definitely not die well," the woman in purple skirt comforted. "The only thing that the prince cannot let go of now is the princess. Miss, you have to take care of yourself. If you break through to the golden elixir stage as soon as possible, you may be able to rescue the prince."
"Well, Aunt Xu, I understand. When the month comes, Hidden Villa, I will concentrate on my cultivation and strive to break through to my current state as soon as possible." The girl Xiang Lian'er nodded seriously.
Xu Wan, the woman in the purple skirt, sighed quietly in her heart. Although she persuaded Xiang Xinyi in this way, she didn't know in her heart whether there was really a prince or a pardon. One day when she returned to the imperial city, how big was the imperial city? The princes are scheming and fighting for power. The throne was unscrupulous, and the prince died young. The second prince, Wuying and Wang Xiang Qiong, was quite favored and was on the verge of ascending to the throne of prince. However, he was framed by several other princes, and his own practice also went awry, resulting in blindness. His old Majesty is imprisoned. Even if he is released again, Xiang Qiong, who is blind, will lose the possibility of inheriting the throne. Since the founding of the Xiang Kingdom, no disabled person has succeeded to the throne of emperor.
Xiang Qiong's power was almost uprooted in the past. In order to prevent Xiang Lian'er, his only daughter, from being persecuted, Xiang Qiong arranged for him to be accompanied by the iron-armed Yuan Gang, the old man who punted the boat. Xiang Xinyi stayed away from the imperial city and headed to Wushang City, where Da Qi Kingdom and Tianwu Kingdom meet the three kingdoms, where the forces are mixed. Xiang Qiong's house is kind-hearted and generous, and he also has a group of old people who are loyal to him. However, Xiang Lian'er's status is unusually noble, and he also has the possibility of inheriting the throne of emperor. I'm afraid that the princes in the court may not be relieved. They haven't been found yet, and they probably haven't grasped their whereabouts yet. Although he and Yuan Gang are also Golden Elixir monks, they are only in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. Once the princes send out assassins, Xu Wan has no idea how long he can hold them back. . I just heard that Wushang City is located at the border of several countries, and the order is relatively good. We can only hope that everything will be peaceful in the future, Xu Wan sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, Xu Wan felt that there seemed to be a slight change in the speed of Yuan Gang's paddle, and he immediately looked forward with a vigilant expression. I saw a larger boat breaking through the water quickly. The first one, a man with gray hair but a majestic face and a normal middle-aged face, stood with his hands tied.
"My servant, Fu Mingyuan, has come specially to greet the young master!" The heroic man stood at the bow of the ship, dozens of feet away, and bowed to Xiang Lian'er.
"Welcome, young master!" Dozens of other black-clothed monks on the ship knelt down on one knee on the deck, their voices uniform. "Wow!" At this time, Lu Xiaotian was originally planning to wait for these people to pass before emerging from the water. However, the deterioration of his injuries was beyond his expectation. In addition, in order to avoid the cold air from Shuiting, Lu Xiaotian could no longer hold back. , popped up between the two boats. Poof, a mouthful of blood dyed the water surface a small patch of bright red.
Fu Mingyuan and others who had lived in Wushang City for a long time suddenly changed their expressions. It was late autumn, when the cold air in Wushang Lake was more frequent, and even the golden elixir monks were usually extremely cold. Unwilling to go down to the lake, a silver-haired monk suddenly appeared in front of him, but he didn't seem to be in good condition.
When Xu Wan and Yuan Gang saw Lu Xiaotian, they looked wary and quietly protected Xiang Lian'er in the middle.
"This man looks injured, let him come to the boat." Seeing Lu Xiaotian's pale face and his body shivering a little under the cold air, Xiang Lian'er couldn't bear to say.
"Miss, we are in a special situation now. The origin of this person is unknown. It is better to have more trouble than less trouble. Let him fend for himself." Xu Wan advised in a low voice.
Lu Xiaotian took a breath. He originally thought that he would be able to leave with his sword when he reached the water. However, the speed of the injury in his body worsened beyond his expectation. The double invasion of the misty sword energy and cold energy in his body made him exhausted. To deal with it, he was even temporarily unable to fly with a weapon due to severe injuries. As for Ice Healing, he has already used it. It can only repair the existing injuries in the body, but it cannot further prevent the destruction of the misty sword energy. It treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. He originally thought that everything would be fine if he escaped through the teleportation array, but he didn't expect that the power of this ethereal sword energy was the only one he had ever seen in his life. Now Lu Xiaotian urgently needs a place to recuperate, but there are several golden people in front of him. The alchemy monk is now in a state that cannot bear the battle. As for Di Kun, since he swallowed the inner elixir a few years ago, he is still in the critical period of improving his strength. If he is not forced to do so, Lu Xiaotian does not want to interrupt his practice. Of course, if these people have bad intentions, it would be a different matter.
“It’s better to rescue him, it’s still a human life at least.” Xiang Lian’er sighed faintly. Although she was not good at it, her family was in decline at this time and suffered great changes. A large number of the original people in the palace After being executed, he felt desolate. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's current situation, he felt a little softer than usual.
"Young Master, what this fellow Taoist said just now is right. Wushang City is located between the three countries. There are too many desperadoes, and there are also a lot of people who have lost their homes. Young Master, even if you want to control it, you may not be able to control it. He looks quite strange, he might be a disaster even if he is saved." Fu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Young lady will decide how to act, but there is no need for Fellow Daoist Fu to make decisions for her." Xu Wan originally disapproved of rescuing Lu Xiaotian, but Fu Mingyuan was just a steward of Yueyin Villa. , there was a tone in his voice that he was making decisions for Xiang Lian'er, wanting to be superior to the young lady. If this momentum was not suppressed as soon as possible, Xiang Lian'er would probably be controlled by this person even when he went to Yueyin Villa in the future. . No matter what intrigues there will be later, or if you want to beat this person up, you must make a statement at this time. In comparison, the original action of saving Lu Xiaotian was insignificant, but now the meaning inside it has become significant. Same.
