Du Qiankun blew out two pieces of white air from his nose, like small snakes, circling uncertainly.
Suddenly, he took a deep breath and sucked the white snake back into his body, and his bones made an explosive sound.
"Well... I didn't expect to be promoted to Grand Master so easily... I must have entered Taoism through martial arts within this year..."
Du Qiankun stood up, his chest felt relaxed, and he wanted to look up to the sky and scream.
Ever since he helped the half-crazy senior that day and the other party generously gave him secret books, his martial arts has been improving day by day. He feels that his cultivation is promising, how can he not be happy?
He walked out of the training room, which was an inn.
Du Qiankun went to the dining area on the first floor and ordered a table of wine and meat.
Everyone is not surprised that a person who practices martial arts eats a lot, as long as he can afford the money.
Not long after, the waiter came forward with a plate of steamed buns and said with a smile: "Other hot dishes are being prepared. Sir, please have some steamed buns to cushion your stomach first?"
"That's fine."
Du Qiankun grabbed a steamed bun made from old noodles, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole. He ate six or seven in the blink of an eye.
While he was eating and drinking, his ears moved, and a low voice from a distance came into his ears.
"Did you hear...that the emperor passed away?"
"Sigh... The little emperor has just taken over the throne. Is he acting too hastily? He wants to seize power, but the Queen Mother counterattacks?"
"Why did I hear that... the king has monsters and weird things? It is said that there is a monster in the Queen Mother's palace, and the little emperor used it to attack... But the foundation is too shallow and he cannot get rid of the monster. Instead, the monster confuses the Queen Mother..."
"Shh... you dare to say such things, do you want to go to Caishikou?"
…
Although the voices of the people at the table were extremely low, Du Qiankun still heard it clearly and said with a serious expression: "There is a weird monster in the capital? If it is just a palace fight, no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with the martial arts, but
It will be different after the monster appears... Maybe I should go to the royal capital?"
Just as he was pondering, the waiter had already served the wine and food, and at the same time came over with a letter: "Is the guest's surname Du? This is a letter sent by a patrol horse..."
"Oh? Thanks."
Du Qiankun casually rewarded him with a dime of silver and opened the letter.
The letter was indeed sent by Yuan Huolong.
He, Xu San, and Du Qiankun are known as the "Three Wonderful Heroes of the Martial Arts". They are close friends. Du Qiankun had communicated with Yuan Huolong before, so it was not surprising at all that the other party knew that he was here.
But Du Qiankun looked at it and frowned: "The third brother originally made an appointment with us to meet near here, but he didn't come for a long time. The eldest brother was worried that something might happen to the third brother and planned to go to his hometown to visit... Going back to my hometown to visit relatives, can I
What happened?"
Even so, he felt a little uneasy and immediately prepared to follow the clues to find it.
…
Half a month later.
Small fishing village.
Du Qiankun looked solemn as he saw the mark left by the Yuan Fire Dragon.
He waited here for three full days, but his eldest brother didn't come back. Obviously, the Yuan Fire Dragon was also in trouble!
"Obviously it's just my third brother's hometown, why is it so unlucky that a weird birth happened!"
After this period of observation, Du Qiankun has determined one thing.
That small fishing village may have given birth to extremely terrifying weirdness, even contaminating all the villagers.
Even if he is a great master, he can only run as far as he wants in this situation.
"I hate it so much... Why is my power so weak that I can't save my eldest brother and my third brother..."
Du Qiankun's eyes were filled with tears: "Eldest brother, third brother... just wait, I will find someone to avenge you!"
Some weirdness can be ignored, while other weirdness will become more terrifying and spread around if it cannot be eliminated in time.
The weirdness in this village is obviously of the latter type.
Du Qiankun has seen that more and more fishermen are participating in night sacrifices, including many outsiders from surrounding villages.
If this continues, it will cause serious trouble!
"Eldest brother and third brother, I'm afraid I've been poisoned a long time ago... We're conducting one last investigation tonight, so let's leave immediately..."
Du Qiankun made up his mind.
With his martial arts skills, if he just watched from a distance, there would probably be no problem.
night.
He was well prepared, changed into night clothes, and stared at the small fishing village.
The moon tonight is big and round, casting a bright light.
When the moon reached its zenith, the doors of the small fishing village opened one after another, and a man and a woman with strange expressions came out.
They gathered on the beach, sang weird songs and danced twisted dances.
The dark sea suddenly parted, and the evil mermaid walked out of it.
Du Qiankun covered his eyes, not wanting to look at those greasy scales and disgusting faces anymore...
'Most of them gather at night, but tonight is a little different. It seems to be a big sacrifice?'
Du Qiankun originally planned to leave as soon as he was ready, but at this moment, looking at the flames and the twisting figure... he actually didn't want to leave.
He slowly opened his fingers and focused his eyes on a shark.
The mermaid turned his face and actually seemed to smile at him. Some familiar shadows could be vaguely found on his scale-covered face.
"Third brother?!"
Du Qiankun's eyes suddenly bulged and he exclaimed.
The next moment, from the darkness, several sharks had surrounded him.
I don’t know when he started, but he was discovered.
"Beast, die!"
Du Qiankun reached out and touched his waist. A soft sword was in his hand. Under the infusion of true energy, it suddenly became straight.
He thrust out his sword, and the sword roared like a dragon, like lightning striking in the dark night.
puff!
Right in front, a mermaid's head flew up, bleeding like a stream.
Du Qiankun didn't like fighting, so he used Qing Gong to escape.
He knew that the sharks were not only wearing scales, as if they were wearing a layer of fine steel armor, but they were also extremely powerful.
You can kill ten or eight people, but if you are surrounded by a large number of people, you will still die.
He swept several feet away, jumped over the shark's head, and fled far away.
At this time, Du Qiankun saw a particularly ugly shark, opening its ferocious mouth and letting out a babbling roar.
This roar is very strange, but it has a disgusting rhythm, like music composed of noise, and like a... unique language!
Du Qiankun suddenly felt his energy and blood boiling. He felt irritable for a while, and his energy went astray. He fell from the air: "Damn it... went crazy? No... was it an attack by a strange force?"
Holding the sword in his hand, he looked at more and more sharks, shouting strange incantations and moving forward, feeling as if a huge mountain was weighing down his heart.
The originally strong hands and feet began to become limp and lacked strength.
'No wonder...big brother is here...'
A wry smile appeared on Du Qiankun's face. He looked at the circle surrounded by sharks, with the sword across his neck: "Even if I die, I don't want to be eaten by you!"
Puff!
Just then, he heard something in the sky.
Large swaths of dust fell, and soon there were figures with moth wings sprouting from their backs.
They held long swords, fell from the sky, and quickly strangled the sharks, one after another, with incomparable bravery.
'Like a moth to the flame...'
Du Qiankun looked at this scene, and for some reason, a sentence came to his mind.
