"The Pirate King's...treasure?"
Everyone's mind froze, and their eyes were fixed on Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen also got into the role, sitting cross-legged on the ground, revealing a nostalgic look, and talking freely: "That's right, at that time, this saucy saint was only a teenager, in the prime of life. One day, after arriving in the East China Sea, I accidentally heard a legend in the East China Sea that it was a treasure left by the Pirate King. Have you heard of who the Pirate King is?"
"No!" Zhou Tong was a very qualified supporting actor, his eyes sparkled as he asked curiously, "Who is the Pirate King?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know either, and I don't dare to ask, but it is said that the Pirate King owns the entire treasure of the East China Sea. Almost all the most precious things in the East China Sea are in his hands."
"Ridiculous!" The Sword Demon sneered and said, "Throughout history, no one has ever been able to control all the treasures of an area in his own hands."
"That's because you are ignorant. The Pirate King is just such a person. Otherwise, how could he drink and chat with the Emperor Donghuang and discuss poetry and philosophy?" Yang Zhen said leisurely.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked, and they immediately circled around the person who was drinking and chatting about poetry and philosophy with the Emperor of Donghuang. Putting aside whether or not to take the test, this was definitely the key point.
Zhou Tong's biggest wish in this life is to be able to touch the edge of the emperor realm. He would be satisfied even if he could break through to become a half-step emperor.
Now that he had heard the title of Emperor Donghuang, it would be strange if he was not interested. He immediately sat down next to Yang Zhen, patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder, and urged Yang Zhen to continue.
Yang Zhen took out two small stools from his storage ring and said to Jiulong and Tianshan Saint Lord, "Don't stand there, sit down and listen."
Jiulong and Tianshan Saint Lord looked at each other strangely, and then looked at the Sword Demon vigilantly, and then sat beside Yang Zhen, one on the left and one on the right, with Zhou Tong in front.
The Sword Demon had a garish expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking. Seeing that Jiulong, Tianshan Saint Lord, and Zhou Tong had surrounded Yang Zhen, and even the guys like Old Yan who couldn't say a word were eager to move forward, he snorted coldly, kicked Old Yan, and said in a cold voice: "Get out of the way!"
Old Yan was angry but dared not say anything. He glared at the Sword Demon hatefully and moved to the side.
After the Sword Demon squatted down, he waved to Yang Zhen and said, "Give me a stool as well!"
"And me, and me!" Zhou Tong said, raising his hand.
After Yang Zhen gave the two people stools one by one, he began to say: "I didn't find the treasure of One Piece. It can only be left for the destined person to open. Don't be disappointed. Although I didn't find the treasure of One Piece, I still found a clue."
"What clues?" Zhou Tong asked curiously.
Yang Zhen glanced at the Sword Demon and said, "This is the place where the Pirate King and the Emperor of the East Desolate once discussed poetry and philosophy."
"What?"
The Sword Demon's eyes lit up, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is this place in the East China Sea?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Of course it's in the East China Sea, but don't even think about going there."
"Why?" The Sword Demon looked at Yang Zhen coldly, as if he was looked down upon, as if he would slap Yang Zhen to death if Yang Zhen didn't give him a reasonable explanation.
Yang Zhen has no other talents, but he is a master at making up stories. He said aloud, "The saying 'see a mountain as a mountain, see a mountain as not a mountain, see a mountain as still a mountain' was discovered when the two men talked about poetry and philosophy."
See? This is called pointing out the theme, so that people won’t be attracted by the story and forget the original intention. Then Yang Zhen would be in danger.
Sure enough, everyone was shocked when they heard this! "At that time, the Pirate King had gone insane and was seriously ill, and he had offended an extremely powerful being at the bottom of the East China Sea. It is said that this being has nine dragon heads, eighteen tails, and countless tentacles. It can easily overturn the sea and the entire East China Sea when it is angry."
"This... isn't it more powerful than the emperor?" Zhou Tong was shocked.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes at Zhou Tong and said, "Why else do you think the Pirate King would be afraid of him?"
"At that time, the Pirate King and the Emperor of the East Desolate were discussing poetry and Taoism, and he once engraved the following words: I, the Pirate King, the overlord of the East Sea, have countless wealth in my life, but in the end, the first thing I realized was the ultimate of the sword way..."
Let’s get to the point again!
After hearing this, the Sword Demon's dark eyes seemed to be burning. He stared at Yang Zhen intently, not daring to breathe for fear of disturbing Yang Zhen. This idiot kept the secret and didn't want to say anything more.
Yang Zhen glanced at the Sword Demon and said to Zhou Tong, "You, what did he say?"
"What?" Zhou Tong's eyes sparkled.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "The Pirate King said: Look at the sword in my hand. Oh, he said he saw it, but I saw the painting clearly at that time. There was no sword in his hand. Isn't this just lying with open eyes?"
"What do you know?" The Sword Demon glared at Yang Zhen and said, "Senior Pirate King, you want to have no sword in your hand, but there is a sword in your heart and in your eyes."
This poor child! Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Maybe. After the Pirate King finished speaking, he immediately said, I have practiced swordsmanship in my life and have gone through three stages: seeing the sword as a sword, seeing the sword as not a sword, and seeing the sword as a sword. Unfortunately, there is still one last level that I have never been able to comprehend. If I comprehend it, I might become the first person in history to ascend to heaven with the sword!"
Ascend to the sky with the sword! The sword demon's breathing became disordered, staring at Yang Zhen intently, and said: "He... failed?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Hearing the Sword Demon's dry words, Yang Zhen nodded in great sorrow and said, "I told you, the senior's life has come to an end, but he left behind the last level of realm."
"The Pirate King's treasure!" Zhou Tong screamed, slapped his thigh, and said, "It's complete!"
What do you mean it's all over now? This old man with a lot of hair on his mouth can't even keep his mouth shut! Fortunately, the Sword Demon didn't seem to hear Zhou Tong's words, and muttered to himself: "Seeing a sword is a sword, seeing a sword is not a sword, seeing a sword is still a sword, what is the last level?"
At this point, the black flames in the Sword Demon's eyes burned completely, staring at Yang Zhen and said, "What on earth is it?"
Yang Zhen glared and said, "How would I know what it is? If you want to know what it is, why don't you go find the Pirate King's treasure yourself?"
A murderous intent suddenly burst out from the Sword Demon, causing everyone around him to tremble with fear.
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false?"
It turns out that this old man is not stupid.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "I swear on my most precious chastity...father, that every word is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning!"
There was a loud bang, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky.
But after a moment, the clouds suddenly dissipated.
How can Yang Zhen still have any sense of integrity or anything like that!
However, the Sword Demon still seemed to distrust Yang Zhen, and stretched out his hand to grab Yang Zhen: "Boy, follow me to the East China Sea!"
Yang Zhen was startled and wanted to curse. Damn it, even this slut is so thirsty that his mouth is dry. Do I still have to fight to the death?
At this moment, Zhou Tong suddenly waved his hand and said, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I still want to hear your story."
Everyone: “…”
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Now he felt better! (End of this chapter)
