The little master left the evil pool, and after about a meal, a head covered with mud and weeds slowly rose from a place in the pool.
This person is none other than Chu Lang.
Chu Lang held his nose with one hand and breathed through an empty plant tube in his mouth.
When Chu Lang came out of the woods earlier, he knew that it was difficult to compete with the young master in terms of martial arts, and he could not outrun the young master. So he simply sneaked into the smelly pool to escape.
Although Chu Lang's martial arts skills are not as good as the young master's, his endurance is far beyond anyone's reach.
In the end, the little master failed to defeat Chu Lang.
After Chu Lang was sure that there was no more danger, he came out of the smelly pool.
The young master almost destroyed Chu Lang's life, and now Chu Lang is still feeling a faint pain.
Chu Lang really couldn't understand why this woman whom he had never met before, let alone had any quarrel with him, wanted to kill him. This made Chu Lang confused and angry.
Chu Lang said to himself: Smelly woman, you almost destroyed me. If my wife can't give birth to a 'wolf cub' in the future, I will never let you go.
Chu Lang had been diving in the pool for so long, and his whole body was filled with filthy stench, which made him feel sick. He headed southwest, planning to find a place to clean up and continue on his way.
…
After this incident, Chu Lang became more vigilant and careful in his next trip, trying to avoid any further complications.
Chu Lang also met a friend on the way. This man was in his thirties, with a muscular build and an unshaven face. He had a wine gourd hanging on his waist and an epee slanted on his back. His clothes were very shabby and stained with filth.
.Looking very downcast.
This man's name is Hu Badao.
Chu Lang met him at a small wine shop on the roadside. At that time, Hu Badao was arguing with the shopkeeper. It turned out that Hu Badao was addicted to alcohol. He was so full that he asked the shopkeeper to fill his wine gourd with good wine, but when he paid the bill, he
He took out a brick and told the shopkeeper that it was a brick that the late Emperor stepped on to dismount his horse, and that it was now very valuable. He had no ready money, so he pledged the brick and would redeem it in two days.
Of course the shopkeeper refused to accept the brick and insisted on paying. He scolded him for not knowing what he was selling, and the two started to quarrel.
Chu Lang took a lot of money with him when he left the old monster's lair. He thought Hu Ba Dao was interesting, so he paid for the drinks for him. Seeing that Chu Lang was young but generous and generous, Hu Ba Dao insisted on making Chu Lang his friend.
Hu Badao happened to be going to Hezhou, so the two of them went together.
All expenses incurred along the way were naturally paid by Chu Lang.
After traveling for several days, the two of them got closer and closer to Hezhou.
There are many pedestrians on the official road, and some of them are people from the world.
Among them, there were many people wearing brocade clothes and riding tall horses, surrounded by a handsome young man. I heard from passersby that this young man, Master Qingchengzhuang, went to Dahe Prefecture to become a disciple. Chu Lang was very envious of the young man for being able to worship the King of Dahe.
As a teacher.
Hu Badao said: "Don't envy him. He is not qualified to be the disciple of the River King. He can only go there in vain."
Chu Lang had been with Hu Badao for a few days and got to know him somewhat. Although Hu Badao liked to brag, his human nature was not evil, and Chu Lang found that Hu Badao was well-informed. He knew many things in the world.
Chu Lang then asked: "Brother Hu, since you have traveled around the world for many years and have rich experience, why do you think the River King wants an apprentice with a foreign surname this time? And it must be a disciple of a famous family?"
Hu Badao thought for a moment and finally said something.
"This matter is not simple..."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud voice shouting from behind me.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Chu Lang turned around and saw dozens of horsemen approaching at lightning speed. The people on the horses were all armed with weapons. They were wearing black robes, blood-colored belts around their waists, and red boots. All of their faces had serious expressions.
There is also a flag in the team that sounds "Hunting".
There are two large gilded characters in the flag - twelve.
Chu Lang knew that this was a person from the Zodiac.
Pedestrians on the official road, whether they were ordinary people or celebrities, were all afraid of the twelve palaces and quickly moved to both sides of the road. People in Qingcheng Villa also obediently moved out of the way.
Chu Lang and Hu Badao also arrived at the roadside.
The team of people flew past, leaving behind a trail of dust.
Chu Lang said: "The people of the Twelve Palaces are really majestic."
Hu Badao said: "Of course. There are many masters of the Twelve Palaces, and the palace lord of each palace is a well-known figure in the world. Seeing that you know very little about the world, do you know who the chief palace owner of the Twelve Palaces is?
?”
Chu Lang said: "I know. The general master of the Twelve Palaces is the second heaven of the Nine Heavens, Qin Jiutian."
Hu Badao said: "Then do you know how powerful Qin Jiutian is?"
Chu Lang shook his head, he didn't know this.
Hu Badao said: "Qin Jiutian has been in the world for more than 20 years and has never been defeated. Everyone who fought against him is lying in a coffin."
Chu Lang was shocked when he heard this.
Chu Lang said: "Who is more powerful, He Wang or Qin Jiutian?"
Hu Badao did not answer directly. He said: "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the River King and Qin Jiutian will eventually have a battle. When the time comes, you will know who is more powerful..."
…
On the second day, Chu Lang and Hu Ba entered Dahe Prefecture.
Dahe Prefecture has a radius of 500 miles and a large population. A large river meanders from east to west. This river is named "Dahong River" because it is red. The "Dahong River" nourishes the people of Dahe Prefecture. With this river, droughts and floods
It ensured a good harvest and became one of the two major "granaries" of the dynasty.
There are elite soldiers stationed in Dahe Prefecture, and there is even a famous Dahe King. Therefore, few people in the rivers and lakes dare to do anything in Dahe Prefecture, and even theft incidents are very rare. Dahe Prefecture has become a prosperous place where people are safe and secure.
Entering Dahe Prefecture, Chu Lang and Hu Badao continued to meet young masters of several sects who went to Dahe Prefecture to become disciples with generous gifts.
The young masters of these sects also aroused the interest of the local people. Wherever they passed, people gathered around and commented on the apprentices.
Some casinos even have gambling games on which young master the River King will accept as his apprentice.
Chu Lang also met a very special young man.
This young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thunderous face, a rosy complexion and dull eyes.
The young man rides a thin horse and carries a pair of hammers behind him.
The color of the hammer is fiery red, as if it had just been taken out of the furnace.
It even makes people feel a burning heat.
I heard that this young man also went to Prince He's Mansion to become a disciple.
Because the River King only accepts eight disciples, there are now more than twenty young masters from sects who have come to be their disciples. It’s hard to say which young master will be lucky enough to become the River King’s disciple, or which one will return disappointed.
Chu Lang also asked Hu Badao to guess which young master could become the disciple of the River King.
Hu Badao also became interested, and he speculated based on the information he had...
Chu Lang said: "The young River King we met earlier will definitely not accept him. He is as angry as a thunder god, like a sick ghost."
Unexpectedly, Hu Badao said to Chu Lang: "Others are not sure, the River King will definitely accept him."
