Chapter 8 Dust Past

"The helmsman, we are back."

As soon as he walked into the courtyard where the green and the rudder were divided, one of the members of the group shouted loudly, with a sense of excitement and joy.

"It's Big Brother Xuemo and they're back."

When several young members of the hospital saw these people, they got up immediately, some served tea and poured water, some went to the back to report, and some helped to move things, which was very lively.

Lorraine Hill walked behind a few people, and everyone in the courtyard didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was a guest of Laituo Lion Hall. Now in this large courtyard, in addition to the members of Tuo Lion Hall, there are many guests dressed in various clothes or Traders, some of them come to pick up the goods, or send things, and some of them come to Tuo Shi Tang to do some things.

Compared with the residents who have lived in the area for a long time, the members of Tuo Shi Tang have traveled far and wide, and have seen and heard a lot. People often come to ask them something, or they entrust Tuo Shi Tang to help find something.

In the practice of the Transcendent Sequence, no matter the continent, some auxiliary things are indispensable, such as special materials, medicines, weapons, books of secret laws, etc. If there are factions and organizations, it is good, you don't need to worry too much. , but if not, you have to entrust outsiders to help you find it from time to time.

Although Jixia Academy is also open to commoners, the requirements for admission are extremely high, and it is not something that the general public can expect.

"Is there any news about the seven-hearted seven-leaf lotus I mentioned last time?" A white-haired old man in a gray robe stood in front of the counter and asked.

"Mr. Qiao Song, we got some news about what you said, but we are not sure about the reliability, and I don't know if you want to hear it."

"You slicker, you've already talked about it, and you still keep my ears shut?"

"Cough, then let me say it straight, the seven-hearted seven-leaf lotus is said to be the product of the cave of the Burning Incense Guanxing Mansion. It is one of the thirty-six door-to-door in the north of Luojing, and it is unattainable. I am afraid Difficult to get started.”

"Burning Incense Watching Star Mansion... Sigh... Yes, the six-star zodiac map is printed on the booklet, so Burning Incense Watching Star Mansion has this thaumaturgy."

After hearing this news, the old man sighed in disappointment. After a while, he found a gold dish from his pocket and put it on the table as a reward for inquiring about the news, and then secretly walked out of the courtyard.

"Mr. Qiao Song accidentally acquired a practice method when he was young, which is very delicate. Unfortunately, he had already reached the fourth step of the ladder at that time and did not want to take the risk of going back. More than 20 years ago, the drastic change brought the world back, so he took it again. After starting the study of this practice method, I returned to the fourth level within a few years. At that time, I was in high spirits, and when people entered middle age, they were like a tiger, and their momentum was like a rainbow."

After the old man left, someone in the hospital whispered that the old man Qiao Song was also a frequent visitor to the local Tuo Shi Tang, and many people had heard of his deeds.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that there has been no progress for more than ten years, just because that method requires special things to advance. Although the world has changed, it is still difficult to see through some ups and downs."

"The old method has long been unusable in the new dynasty, and now several of the immortals have created their own methods, how can they be smooth all the way based on outdated things."

"Little brother, I just came here. I'm curious why the old gentleman didn't go directly to Burn Incense and Star Watching Mansion to pray after hearing the news."

"You kid, it's really a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers, haha."

"Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion is also one of the leading factions in the world. Almost all the members of the Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion in the Qintian prison under Wang Chaochun's lawsuit are also a great force in the Chunguan system. The calendar of the year and the season of offering sacrifices to the heavens are all set by the Qin Tianjian. Think about how powerful this is. And Burning Incense and Watching the Stars Mansion is also one of the inheritances of Huang Fengjuan, with a very high status but a very low-key, rarely soliciting foreigners. Disciples and disciples, most people can’t even find their mountain gates, let alone visit them.”

"It turns out that I was taught."

After this small matter was said in the compound, it quickly dissipated like the wind, and everyone began to talk about various recent events, such as the increasingly fierce 'Dragon and Lion Fight', the water thieves on the river, and the newly appointed State shepherd.

"It is said that Nazhou Mu, who studied in 'Qingluyuan' when he was young, is very powerful."

"Oh, is he a famous doctor?" After all, Qinglu was famous for his medical skills.

"No, it is said that he is different from ordinary people in the art of flowers and plants, and has supplied a lot of high-quality herbs to the party."

"After he was admitted to Yinxiu, he first went to a small county to become an official, and then there was a bumper harvest every year, and he was rewarded by his superiors and the dynasty. This year, he was officially promoted to become a state shepherd and transferred to us."

"That sounds like a good thing."

"Indeed, it's just that this lord has less means and ability outside of flowers and plants. Nowadays, there is not much peace in Qingxiao Continent. If he can't be suppressed, he might not be able to sit in this position for a long time."

A group of people talked about all kinds of things, big and small, about new officials, and about who was next door to marriage, funeral, marriage, etc. When waiting for things to do, people gathered together, and their mouths could not stop. .

"You're back, can things be done?" A very energetic middle-aged man walked out from the back of the hall, accompanied by several members of Tuo Shi Tang in black and red shirts.

"The helmsman, fortunately not humiliated." Yang Xuemo stepped forward, went through this trip, and described them one by one.

"Oh, this kid Ao Niu, he almost broke a big thing again." His eyes were like torches, and he stared at the strong man hiding behind him.

However, when the crowd was present, he did not punish the member on the spot, but just let Yang Xuemo lead the way and come to Roland Hill.

"Thank you, Miss Jialan, for your help on this trip." The helmsman with white temples bowed his hands and bowed to salute, and the people behind him also bent over and said gratitude.

"It doesn't have to be

So many gifts, in fact, I also ask for everyone. "The girl quickly waved her hand, and before everyone in the courtyard gathered her eyes, she quickly explained.

"What Miss Jialan said is not difficult. I'll send someone to do it immediately, and invite you to sit down in the back hall."

Afterwards, under the leadership of the helmsman, the members of the Tuo Shi Tang with strong physique and imposing manner stepped aside, allowing the slender girl to enter the back room where idlers were not allowed to enter.

Compared with the courtyard outside, it is much quieter here, and there are seats made of precious wood. Under the paintings in the hall, there is a purple sand incense burner, and now there is still smoke and fragrance of birds and birds.

After letting the others back down for the time being, the helmsman also introduced himself.

"My name is Yang Jilan, I'm from Zheluozhou, and I'm also Xuemo's uncle. I can buy first-class medicine this time. Thank you Miss Jialan for your help."

It turns out that the two are uncles and nephews, no wonder the helmsman let him go out with so much money to purchase, and this Yang Xuemo is so dedicated.

"Just call me Jialan."

"On the way here, I heard that the waterway to the north was blocked. How is the situation now?"

"Indeed, this is the order just issued by the local commander, and the state shepherd nodded. As a result, many pedestrians and passenger ships were stranded in the city, making it difficult to leave."

"Then I heard that the battle between Tuo Shitang and Panlong will be fierce in the north, will it affect it?"

"It is not only the waterway of Qingzhao that goes to the north, but other surrounding continent counties are also fine. It just takes a little more time, but it doesn't have much impact, but because Panlong will block the waterway from the twenty-two continents in the south to the middle of the dynasty. , making it difficult for us to obtain the resources of the central region, which caused the current dilemma."

In the Plantagenet Dynasty, there are not many major factions that are good at medicine, and the most famous one in the south is 'Qingluyuan'. Physicians, who also sell various pills and medicines, make a lot of money.

Now the Panlong Association occupies the waterway of Weipingzhou, where the faction of Qingluyuan is located, and it is difficult for Qingluyuan to send the medicine pill doctor in the door to the south, which led to the lack of treatment for many masters of Tuoshitang during the war. Many of them died of illness or retired after the war, which reduced their overall strength a lot, so each branch wanted to go to other places to buy medicine and seek medical treatment.

"So it is." Roland Hill nodded, and then had a small conversation with the helmsman.

"The helmsman, the roster has moved."

Two members of the Tuo Shitang carried a heavy large box to the back hall, and then opened it. Among them were neatly placed booklets, each with a year number on it.

"When we travel from south to north in Tuo Shi Tang, we always hear a lot of news. Maybe we don't use it, but it is rare for others, so there is a special gentleman in the hall to write down these things for future reference."

"The person in Baiqiu that Miss Jialan is looking for should be someone from about ten years ago. If you want to find clues now, you have to turn to the records of those years."

"If the hero you mentioned has the strength of the fifth rank, they must have heard a little about it and will record it in the roster at that time, but if it goes further down, there will be few records of the fourth rank, after all, there are too many and complicated."

After that, the rudder master called over a dozen young apprentices and asked them to search quickly according to the year, and the back hall was filled with the sound of flipping books.

During this waiting time, the helmsman did not let Roland Hill sit dry, and soon he greeted the backyard to prepare a banquet and entertain the lucky guest.

The group ate and drank again, and when the night became dark, the apprentice who had turned the book before came to report.

"Any results?"

"There are a few traces, because they are old and not detailed." Afterwards, Roland Hill followed the helmsman back to the back hall, and the apprentice had already spread out the pages that he had found on the table.

"In the yin of the seventh month, when crossing the Black Zezhou, I came across the same door. He was good at guns and strong, and the fourth level was perfect. He was called 'Hundred Vengeance'."

"In the burning moon, there are water ghosts and ghosts in the Zhulian tributary to cause disaster, a hero cut it, and then asked his name, Yu."

"Ji Wenzhou Xuanlu County, the new helmsman was appointed, named 'Yu Zhitian'."

"At the end of winter, the Hanjiang Alliance and I were sent to fight in Xinliu County, and the general hall sent a general to help, named 'Yu He Feng'.

The first of them should be Yu Baiqiu. That time happened to be on her way to the Feather Sect, and when Yu Baiqiu returned to the south, but the latter few are uncertain. It may be a pseudonym of Yu Baiqiu, or some Maybe someone else.

"Where are the next two going to look now?" Roland Hill looked up and asked.

"This is easy to handle. Since I have become the helmsman and general of our hall, there must be a lot of records. Just ask where they are now." After that, he recruited a few members and asked them to set out in several ways to find out. Zhou Jun who had the news inquired, and two others went directly to the main hall to check the records left in it.

"The main hall will be more complete than what we have here, so don't worry about Miss Jialan."

The helmsman told Roland Hill not to worry, and kept her here for a few days, just waiting for a reply.

Then wait a few more days, not too short of time, the girl nodded, showing understanding.

In the next two days, she walked around Qingxiaozhou again to see the local customs.

I have to say that this is indeed a fertile area of ​​water and grass, with many rivers and lakes dotted everywhere. No wonder the dynasty sent a state shepherd who was good at planting here to supervise production.

Standing on the hill beside the river, Roland Hill watched as the dozen or so large ships below slowly sailed away from the pier with flags, and headed for the river to the north amid the sound of playing and cheering.

This should be the local captain leading someone to clean up the water pirates' fleet. The girl thought about the news she heard some time ago.

Go check it out, it's boring anyway.

Roland Hill closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, a little golden red brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then a white mist rose on the water surface, then enveloped himself, hidden it, and floated forward.

This is a small method in "Flaming Ray", which can transform itself into mist and clouds, floating in the sky, avoiding the sight of others.

The reason why it is said to be a small method is because such an ability cannot deceive powerful monsters or extraordinary beings. Probably, if the existence of Sequence 5 looks directly, you can see that something is wrong.

However, in this fleet, there is only one Sequence Five, that is, the captain in command in the cabin. He has no time to look at the clouds behind him now.

The military strength of Qingxiaozhou is very general. Roland Hill glanced at the fleet below. Among them, there is only one Sequence 5, and there are only a dozen or so experts in Sequence 4, but there are more than 700 elite Sequence 2 sailors. , it seems that the momentum is OK.

Looking back at the grand military appearance of Mu Shanzhou in the past, it was more than ten years ago. At that time, there were about ten dragon knights in the fifth rank of the army, not to mention the powerful sergeants of various types. There were also some good Sequence Five players. I don't know if Qingxiaozhou is too weak or Mushanzhou is too strong.

Following the fleet, when they came to a white reed field, a few men in white clothes walked out from the bow of the boat. They held iron flutes and blew them together. Peripheral spread, all the way to the distance.

In this way, after a short while, these people put away the iron flute and said a few words to the captain, and then the fleet moved towards one of them.

After breaking through layers of thick reeds, and passing through several canyons and tributaries, the fleet finally stopped at a lush hillside. It looked like a barren mountain, and there were no villages around. There should be no one around. Live like.

However, with a loud whirring sound, a group of flames rose from the boat, and then went straight to the reeds and barren mountains in front of them.

The fire spread and burned, and thick smoke and flames spread everywhere.

Soon, there was a sound of screaming and roaring from the depths of the reeds, and then about a hundred people rowed a dozen or so single boats and rushed towards the fleet. As they advanced, they cursed. They also fired rockets back, but they were all extinguished by the warlocks on board.

When the convoy arrived, these people swarmed down before the arrows hit, jumped into the water, and approached these large ships that were suppressing the rebellion underwater. Soon some of the large ships exclaimed that they were leaking, causing chaos.
