Chapter 6 Baishou Lake in Qingzhou
“Thank you so much for saving me! Thank you so much for saving me!”
The bald man with the knife and the young man with his neck twisted back calmly exchanged words with each other. Zuo Chen thanked him, but Zuo Chen just waved his hand slightly and said:
"You're welcome."
Both of them are just mortals with insufficient abilities and no great abilities, so there is no need to save them. After spending too much energy, the spent spiritual energy can be restored with the effort of a stick of incense. If it can keep two people alive, it is certainly worth it.
Originally, the two of them wanted to give Zuo Chen some reward, but unfortunately the young man in the village was very poor. This time he came to run this business, but he just relied on his popularity to get a bite of food.
With no choice but to do so, the young man could only promise that if there was anything that could be used for him in the future, he would do it even if it meant going up mountains of swords and seas of fire.
The man holding the knife had nothing he could take away from him. The only valuable thing was the butcher knife in his hand. But when the knife was placed in Zuo Chen's hand, Zuo Chen looked down upon it. .
I'm already in the foundation building stage, what's the use of holding a mortal butcher's knife?
Thunder in the palm is better.
Seeing that Zuo Chen didn't like his sword, the man promised to go back to the city in advance to get the money.
"My home is at the Zhengjiu Escort Bureau in Qingzhou City. When the time comes, please come to my house to see me. I will prepare good wine and food for you. This is all to thank you for saving me and to honor you."< br>
Seeing that the man was speaking sincerely, Zuo Chen felt that it might be rude if he refused again, so he nodded and agreed to the matter.
The young man looked at Zuo Chen twice more, as if he wanted to say something to Zuo Chen, but in the end the words fell into his stomach and remained silent.
After that, the two Jianghu guests left the place, except Caiyi who was still following him.
"Miss Caiyi, do you have anything else to do?"
Zuo Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw this girl following him.
"Taoist Master, you saved my life. I don't know your name yet." Cai Yi felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"My surname is Zuo and my name is Chen, just a small road."
A small road?
Can Xiaodao smash the corpse fragrance of Qingzhou Yixie with one slap?
Caiyi feels that the definition of Xiaodao in their minds may be somewhat different.
Concentrating his thoughts, Cai Yi began to rub his hands together:
"Daoist Master Zuo, are you from outside Qingzhou? The territory of Qingzhou is not small, and people need to be guided to eat, drink and have fun. you saved me I don’t have much money, and you probably don’t care about these things. How about I take you around Qingzhou? No matter where you want to go, I can touch it for you!”
Zuo Chen laughed dumbly.
This girl talks a lot.
But Zuo Chen really needed a local to talk to him about the current situation, so he nodded.
Hearing this, Cai Yi smiled silly and eagerly led the way, leading Zuo Chen towards Qingzhou.
"Taoist Master Zuo, where did you come from? I have never heard of a Taoist temple near Qingzhou, let alone a Taoist as powerful as you."
"Huishan Mountain Those who come down, just come down the mountain to learn some skills.”
"You still want to learn tricks?" Cai Yi was shocked: "I have learned tricks for almost ten years and they are not as powerful as your slap. I am afraid there are not many people in Qingzhou who can teach you."
Cai Yi This is not bragging, she is not bad in talent, and her ten years of magic skills are much better than most of the Jianghu people. There are still not many people in Qingzhou who can surely take advantage of her.
"Bai Laohui must be better than me." Zuo Chen said curiously.
I heard from the village chief that Qingzhou is already quite a big city now. In the world of cultivation, a gang in such a big city can have a scene in Jindan Town.
"The worshipers in Bai Laohui and Bai Lao himself are indeed very powerful, but what they learned is to fish out corpses and learn the art of water walking. Their abilities are not quite the same as those of you, Taoist Master Zuo."
"Ah?"
Zuo Chen was really confused when he heard the word "recovering corpses". "This one is the one who fished out the corpses from the rivers and lakes, which one?"
"That's the one who fished out the corpses." Caiyi nodded: "There is a big lake next to Qingzhou, called There are many fish in Baishou Lake, which is a major livelihood for Qingzhou. However, the lake is not peaceful. There is a river god in it. Every year, if you don’t burn incense, it will make big waves, and if you burn incense, it will make small waves. Because of this river god , many people suffered.
"Family members and relatives naturally wanted to bring their family members back. Some brave fishermen started the business of fishing for corpses. Over time, they became big. I don’t know where they started. This is how Bai Laohui came to be after using the method of water cultivation. ”
After hearing Caiyi's introduction to Bai Laohui, Zuo Chen's expression became a little strange.
He originally thought that Bai Lao would be the kind of organization in the city that "inherited the cultivation methods of a certain large sect" and mastered techniques like "Bai Shou Bai Lao Gong", but after hearing Cai Yi's introduction, Only then did he realize that Bai Laohui's way of making a living was more down-to-earth than he had imagined.
A group of corpse collectors have mastered magical powers?
What magical powers can they get? Let the body jump up from the water on its own?
And it sounds like the Bai Laohui depends on the river god in the big lake for survival.
This river god...
Sounds like a monster.
Golden elixir period?
When the time comes, use Wangqi Technique to take a peek at the big lake. If it is really a big demon in the Golden Core stage, then you'd better escape as soon as possible.
This kind of monster that is always harmful to people may not look good when meeting other cultivators. If the river god wants to invite him to a gathering in the water mansion, it will be difficult to handle.
The two of them walked along the path, winding around for half an hour, and then came to a hillside.
Looking down from the hillside, Zuo Chen saw the lake not far away at a glance.
It's so big that you can't see the edge at a glance. It sparkles in the sun. A city is inserted by the lake, like a stone broken in the middle and thrown casually by the lake.
“That’s Baishou Lake.”
Following Cai Yi’s fingers, Zuo Chen looked towards Baishou Lake.
There seemed to be wisps of black air spiraling up on the lake, covering the entire Qingzhou City.
He blinked.
The black air in this lake...
It doesn’t seem to be much.
……
Qingzhou City is built on the lake, and part of the river flows into the city, dividing the tiled and wooden houses and connecting them with small stone bridges.
Half of the people in the city depend on the lake for their meals, and half of the people depend on those who depend on the lake for their meals. Bai Laohui is the latter half.
They have great influence in the city, and even the local officials have to respect people who come from Bai Laohui.
There is a big house in the city. People come and go in the house, all of them are upper-class Bai Laohui. At this moment, the house is very busy, with people constantly entering and leaving, and it is very chaotic.
“Manager Liu is dead?”
There was a short man inside the house, frowning and staring at the messenger in front of him.
"Yes, I kept staring at the longevity lock, and the lock suddenly broke."
"Sure enough, the method Chu Xun left behind is not that easy to solve."
The man sighed slightly.
“Let’s put aside the ghost village thing for now. Now it’s most important to pay homage to the River God. Serving the River God well is more important than anything else. As long as the River God stands behind our Bai Laohui, it doesn’t matter what he hears. The Xiang Gang can’t touch us!”
