427 Homecoming 3
The figure only appeared for a moment and then disappeared at the end of the aisle. It was so brief that Yu Shiqi almost thought he had seen it wrong.
There are no ordinary passengers on this ship. It can be said that it was chartered by them. Apart from them and the two followers of Xu Jingkong and Xu Jingkong, there are only a few boatmen who are responsible for steering the ship.
At this moment, the boatmen should all be staying at their respective posts. Xu Jingkong and his two young followers are on the deck. This figure should not appear here.
Yu Shiqi chased after him without hesitation, trying to figure out the doubts in his heart.
He rushed to the end of the aisle with extreme vigilance. At the fork in the side road leading to the storage warehouse, Yu Shiqi reached out and grabbed the figure in front of him: "Who is it?"
The young man who was held down by his shoulders and turned around looked calm: "What's wrong, Young Master Yu?"
The palm of his hand touched a patch of dampness, and Yu Shiqi realized that the man's shoulder jacket was stained with water. He recognized that this was one of the two followers of Xu Jingkong. The water stains on his body also proved that the other party had just left the deck.
.
It turned out that he was overly concerned. Yu Shiqi let go of his hand and smiled a little apologetically: "I thought you were staying on the deck with Mr. Xu, but when I saw someone else in the cabin, I didn't worry about chasing him.
.”
"The wind and waves outside are very strong. The teacher ordered us to come down first to take shelter."
The hull is indeed bumping and shaking seriously, but it is safer to stay in the cabin than on the open deck.
"It turns out that you, like Mr. Chen, are also disciples of Mr. Xu Jingkong..." Yu Shiqi was a little surprised. He originally thought that these two people who followed Xu Jingkong were just his servants.
"The two of us have already followed the teacher in Yunlu, and Chen Jingxuan came later." The man replied.
These two people looked clearly younger than Chen Jingxuan. Unexpectedly, they were Chen Jingxuan's senior brothers. Yu Shiqi asked with a thought: "Are those two also mystics masters?"
There were footsteps behind him. Yu Shiqi turned around slightly and saw another young follower walking down the stairs leading to the deck. The young follower who had originally spoken to him saluted respectfully: "Senior Brother Zhongyu.
"
"Yuan Sheng, the teacher asked me to come down and see Yu Shaoxia." The young man known as Senior Brother Zhongyu nodded to Yu Shiqi and his own junior brother.
"Look at me?"
"The sea is now very windy and rough, and the ship is in danger of capsizing at any time, but as long as the teacher's secret technique is there, it can be safe."
Is it Xu Jingkong who is using secret techniques to protect the ship? Seeing the other party staring straight at him, Yu Shiqi suddenly understood Xu Jingkong’s intention of letting his disciple come to see him. He must be worried that he would use Wei Yinhan
The secret technique of edge interference.
"Mr. Xu, are you worried about the sword I carry?"
"Exactly." Zhong Yu nodded, "Doesn't the sword that Shaoxia Yu carries on his back have the power to block secret arts? I've seen it before in the seaside fishing village."
"It is the ancient sword inherited from the Desolate Sect. With this sword, you can activate the spirit-controlling technique of isolating secrets." Yu Shiqi admitted.
"Can I borrow the sword and take a look?"
There was a look of hesitation in Yu Shiqi's eyes. Zhong Yu saw it and immediately realized that his request was slightly inappropriate at this time, so he immediately changed his words and said, "I am being rude. Please don't mind, Young Master Yu."
"No, it doesn't matter." Yu Shiqi said, taking off Weiyin Hanfeng from behind and handing it to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu carefully took the cold iron with both hands, and Yuan Sheng, who was behind Yu Shiqi, also came over curiously.
"The material of the sword is unprecedented. It doesn't seem to be ordinary iron?" Zhong Yu lightly touched the sword body with his fingers, and then said: "The sword seems to contain an immeasurable amount of energy. Just holding it in your hand feels...
An overwhelming feeling.”
Yu Shiqi nodded: "It is rumored that it was made with the divine iron and casting techniques of Yutian Kingdom."
"Yu Tian Kingdom?" Zhong Yu and Yuan Sheng both looked amazed and fascinated.
"Do you two know about Yutian Kingdom?"
Yuan Sheng was the first to say: "There are many legends about Yutian Kingdom on Yunlu, but they are all illusory myths."
At this time, Zhong Yu handed the sword back to Yu Shiqi and echoed: "They are indeed all myths."
Yu Shiqi became curious about what they said. He had nothing to do at the moment. It would suit him to talk to these two people and learn something about Yunlu, so he asked: "What kind of myth is it?"
Zhong Yu and Yuan Sheng looked at each other, and then Zhong Yu spoke: "Then let me tell you a popular story. Legend has it that a lord of Yu Tian Kingdom received a revelation from the gods in a dream, asking him to stay in the city.
A shrine was built for Goddess Haoyang at the highest point. But no one except the lord knew the image of the goddess, so the lord summoned famous painters to his court to paint pictures for Goddess Haoyang according to the image he dictated."
"But no matter how hard the painters tried, the paintings they produced were very different from the revelations in the lord's dream. The portraits were not completed, and the statues in the shrine could not be completed. The lord was troubled by this, worried that delaying the construction period would cause dissatisfaction with the gods, and he was worried
The combination made him feel uneasy in his dormitory and became increasingly haggard. One day, in the near future
At the suggestion of the servant, the lord went hunting to relax, but the lord got lost in the mountains chasing an elk. When he was exhausted from driving around all night, the lord welcomed the sunrise in the valley and met a girl who looked similar to what he saw in his dream.
So he was overjoyed and brought her back to the city, and ordered craftsmen to carve the statue according to the girl's appearance."
Yu Shiqi thought to himself that this was very different from the image of the people of Yutian Kingdom that he knew. After all, Xuan Kong Hao once showed him that Yutian Kingdom was so advanced that it was difficult to understand the technology. But he did not tell the truth, but he had many thoughts in his heart.
After some thought.
Zhongyu paused for a moment and then continued: "The craftsmen in the city were uneasy about using the appearance of civilian girls to carve statues of gods, but the lord insisted on doing so. Finally, when the temple was completed and the statue was completed, the lord took his people to visit the temple and
Prepare to be lifted up in front of the shrine
He held his own wedding to the girl. As the wedding was going on, countless bolides fell from the sky without warning, destroying most of the city. Rumors of the lord's blasphemy spread like wildfire in the city, and some survivors said
This led to a rebellion."
"What is the outcome of the rebellion?" Yu Shiqi asked.
"The people around the lord abandoned him one after another, but the girl always believed in following him. In the end, the two were forced to flee to the newly built shrine, which is the highest point in the entire city."
"Then the shrine was not destroyed by the bolide?"
"No." Zhong Yu shook his head, "The rebels surrounded the shrine, but just when they were about to attack, the shrine suddenly took the lord and the girl into the sky and disappeared into the clouds. They were high in the sky.
A new city was built and descendants were produced. Legend has it that this is the origin of Yutian Kingdom."
Yu Shiqi smiled: "People from Yunlu really dare to think."
"Although the story is absurd, it does not mean that it is not worth mentioning." Zhong Yu lowered his head slightly and said calmly: "Yunlu has experienced the hundreds of years of chaos during the Qingyun War and the Seven Kingdoms' attack. People are accustomed to using absurd words.
Stories are used as metaphors. Sometimes metaphors can make people listen better than direct words.”
"I have learned a lesson." Yu Shiqi felt that what he said made sense. As for the metaphor in this story, perhaps only people in Yunlu could understand it.
Yuan Sheng suddenly said at this time: "The teacher said that this story was not actually like this originally. It was just covered with a layer of myth."
"Yuan Sheng..." Zhong Yu glanced at his junior brother, his eyes reserved.
Yuan Sheng also realized that he had made a mistake. A trace of panic flashed across his face, and then he said to Yu Shiqi: "Young Master Yu, please forget what I just said."
This makes me care even more. Yu Shiqi thought to himself, it seems that this story is not as simple as he thought. There should be another explanation in Xu Jingkong.
Zhong Yu's voice came from the side: "Young Master Yu, please don't be offended. The teacher once taught us not to lie to others about things we have only a partial understanding of."
"I understand, I don't mind." Yu Shiqiyun replied calmly.
