Chapter 051 The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng
Baiyun City is located in the South China Sea, and the climate is very pleasant all year round, but it is still quite cold since it is just the end of winter.
Before even reaching the shore, the breath of life blowing in your face makes you sigh.
People were coming and going on the dock, some were selling goods, some were buying goods, some were picking up people and some were sending people off. There were shouts and yells mixed together, and everyone had a smile on their face. Even when they were bargaining, no one would get angry or quarrel.
——Ye Gucheng governs his country well.
Tarona was even more confused. Why would such an excellent lord in every aspect want to rebel? The Southern King and his son were not smart people at all. They were not the right choice for a wise ruler. It was ridiculous for him to follow them in a rebellion. Did he not want Baiyun City anymore?
Could it be that...
[Ye Gucheng was tricked?] The Great Witch made a very reasonable and realistic guess.
Theseus sighed: [The art of killing snakes in this world has not yet reached the level of perfection. ]
Ordinary Gu is useless to Ye Gucheng. The extraordinary King of the Southern Gu cannot be found. Such Gu are the Gu Master's heirlooms and life-saving talismans, and will not be used for trading. Even if he finds one and the Gu Master is willing to trade it to him, he will not have the chance to use Gu on Ye Gucheng. The Sword Immortal is not a vegetarian.
That's true, Tarona believed it deeply. Ye Gucheng was a sword immortal recognized by the world and one of the top figures in the sword art. It would be difficult for him to achieve this kind of goal.
As for why he rebelled...
Maybe it's the wind that moves the flags, everyone does what they feel.
despair.
The ship docked.
The boatman picked up the coarse cloth hanging around his waist, wiped his face with it, and quickly steadied the swaying boat. He said, "Miss, we have arrived at Baiyun City. Please be careful!"
The girl wearing a long power fence nodded to him, landed steadily on the shore, turned around, and stretched out a slender white jade-like catkin from the power fence, with the tips of her five fingers glowing with light pink like petals. A gold leaf as long as a little finger is gently twisted in the light pink fingertips.
The boatman's eyes widened immediately.
"Please accept it."
Jin Yezi passed it forward, and there was no doubt in her clear and unperturbed voice that it was natural.
It's just a transaction, the correct thing to do is to trade in silver and cash.
The boatman hesitated for a while, wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes, and then cautiously took it with both hands, stammering: "Thank you, thank you, young lady, thank you!"
He could not earn this piece of gold leaf even if he traveled back and forth on the sea for a whole year. This girl was so easy to talk to and so generous, she was really lucky, and his family had even got a dowry!
The talkative and generous girl walked into the dock with her skirt lifted. There were many people passing by, but no one touched her. She was like a breeze, blowing lightly through the crowd.
…
The terrain of Feixian Island is good. There are farmlands for cultivation and hills for growing fruit trees. There are both farmers and fruit farmers, but there are more sea dwellers. After all, they live by the sea.
There is plenty of sunlight here, and the people walking around in the city mostly have healthy tan or light tan skin, with hearty smiles on their faces, full of vitality, which makes people happy too.
Tarona likes this kind of atmosphere. Who wouldn’t like an upbeat and hopeful life?
Baiyun City is a prosperous commercial city with merchants coming and going every day, as well as foreigners. A girl wearing a long veil would not be noticeable when she blends in among them.
The officers of the Time and Space Balance Bureau never treated themselves badly. Unless the mission required it, everything was in accordance with their wishes. Tarona chose the most comfortable inn among all the big inns in the city, picked up a handful of leaves, turned them into gold, and then took two leaves to exchange for silver.
Room charges, food expenses, get it!
This inn has three floors and is the tallest inn in Baiyun City. Tarona asked for an upper room. When he opened the window, he could see the City Lord's Mansion directly opposite.
Theseus said: [This view is very broad, and you can see everything at a glance.]
Tarona leaned against the window and looked at the city lord's mansion not far away: "It is indeed very spacious. I chose this room just for this reason."
Theseus knew her well: [When are you going to visit the City Lord's Mansion? ]
"tonight."
Meeting is fate. In the vast South China Sea, she saw Feixian Island at a glance. Isn't this a kind of fate?
Start from Baiyun City and conduct a carpet search.
She just didn't believe that the Baiyun City fleet had never encountered the giant beast. Even if they were so lucky and had never encountered it, there would always be some relevant news. They all made a living on the sea.
There won't be just one artifact-type anomaly companion. The ocean is big enough for them to roam.
Tarona closed the window, took down the long curtains, folded them and placed them on the table. At this moment, there was only natural light in the room, which was not as bright as the light radiating from her body.
This is the built-in light effect of [Mechanical Angel], which is a passive skill. It can only be turned off when the synchronization rate is higher.
The angels in the main universe also have such built-in light effects. The technical department probably created this vest card based on them.
Looking at the 20% synchronization rate on the light screen, Tarona hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew his hand that wanted to adjust it higher.
For some reason, her sixth sense told her not to adjust it upwards for the time being. Before she had fully understood the settings of this vest card, it would be better to stay stable at this threshold.
The Great Witch believed in her sixth sense very much. For anyone who had cultivated to her level, the sixth sense had become a spiritual light that could save lives at any time, so she withdrew her hand.
The built-in light effect can be easily solved by applying a layer of ignoring magic.
Tarona took out a mirror from the space and took a closer look at his current appearance - golden eyes and silver hair. His face was very beautiful and holy, giving people the feeling that he was not an ordinary person.
It is said in the forum that beauties in the martial arts world, especially peerless beauties, are particularly easy to be targeted by villains and perverts no matter how low-key they are.
Some people, once they have a little bit of ability, want to show how powerful and amazing they are from the material side, so having a peerless beauty as their companion becomes their standard way of showing off.
Some people have great power and authority, and their self-confidence is extremely overflowing. They believe that all the good things in the world should belong to them, and all the beauties in the world should voluntarily submit to them.
There are also some people who are born perverted, or have become perverted after experiencing too much distortion. They can't stand others being better than them, and will destroy anyone who is better than them.
The real name here is Shi Guanyin from Chu Liuxiang's world. She is the typical pervert who destroys beautiful women's faces all over the world.
This world is Lu Xiaofeng's home turf. There is no very difficult villain like Shi Guanyin, but Tarona will always meet this person. She takes on a series of missions, which includes the world of Chu Liuxiang.
We will discuss it again if we encounter any problem.
At this time, Theseus said: [You can discuss the Stone Guanyin when you meet her later, but there is one person you will probably meet later.]
"Who?"
Tarona let go of the mirror without much care, leaving it hanging in the air, and combed her hair carefully with a comb so that she could braid it later.
Theseus pulled up the data and showed it to her: [Shangguan Feiyan. ]
The witch took one look and exclaimed: "Good fellow!"
What is this Feiyan? Just change her name to Black Widow.
My dear cousin, if you have offended her and made her unhappy, I will kill you.
As for admirers, those who are still useful will continue to be used, and those who are no longer useful will be thrown away as shields, and any remaining value will be squeezed out of them.
The old man, whose half body is already buried in the ground, can say that he is the one he loves just for the sake of gold, silver, wealth, power and status.
Well, how can this not be considered a vicious female supporting role? If the vicious female supporting roles in romance channels could be half as good as her, the heroine wouldn't even make it past the 30th chapter, and the hero's life would probably be miserable.
Although his overall IQ is not high, he is ruthless enough and his moves are fatal. He is a complete egoist.
While Tarona was reading the information, she had already finished braiding her fluffy scorpion braid. She shook her head to test its firmness, then snapped her fingers with satisfaction, turning her golden eyes as bright as the sun and her silver hair brighter than the moon into an ordinary dark black.
Looking at her this way, she is no longer as eye-catching as before.
"It is possible that I might run into her. When that happens, please remind me and save her life and send her to the authorities."
She still had to meet the protagonist Lu Xiaofeng. Since she had met Lu Xiaofeng, why didn't she meet his close friend Hua Manlou?
In this timeline, she and Shangguan Feiyan might just bump into each other.
The power of the [Mechanical Angel] is too great. Killing Shangguan Feiyan is like killing a chicken with a butcher knife or a cannon to kill a fly. It is better to send her directly to the government so that the innocent people who died in her hands can be avenged.
Theseus wrote down her words and said, "Remember to bypass a man named Jin Jiuling when you send him to the government office. He is not a good person and will become a small boss later."
Jin Jiuling?
Tarona paused while removing the gauntlet, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why do I remember that this person is Lu Xiaofeng's friend?"
What's going on? The boss is next to me?
Or did she misread the information?
Theseus affirmed: "You remembered correctly, he is indeed. The protagonist Lu Xiaofeng has mixed luck and bad luck, and has many friends, including several villains... Ye Gucheng is also his friend."
Tarona: ...
Such a protagonist must not have a bright enough halo, which sounds very unlucky.
Huh? Wait, why does this feel so familiar?
Theseus said it all: [Does it feel a bit like Edogawa Conan? ]
Conan kills people wherever he goes. He is an absolute humanoid causal weapon, but he still insists that he is a detective investigating a case. Lu Xiaofeng is really unlucky. After all, people's hearts are hidden, and he doesn't have the ability to read minds. Others still try hard to make trouble for him, and the trouble has also identified him.
Tarona smiled and said that it was true.
Even before she met Lu Xiaofeng, she had already begun to sympathize with him and wanted to meet this person even more.
However, this may be the treatment the protagonist receives. His life can be called legendary. He has seen more and stranger people and things than others have ever heard of, and the dangers he has encountered are so dangerous and deadly that others cannot even imagine in their entire lives.
But he is clever enough, open-minded enough, and unforgettable enough.
Therefore, he is the protagonist.
…
Visit the city lord's mansion at night and do it as soon as you say it.
After enjoying a seafood supper, Tarona cast a layer of ignoring magic on himself and strolled to the city lord's mansion like a cat walking on the roof.
Feixian Island is not very large, and within this range, the probability of Tarona accurately sensing something abnormal is more than 90%. She deployed all her senses when she was about to dock, and the result was obvious: there was nothing abnormal here.
So she temporarily changed her purpose, putting seeing the scenery and people first, and finding some clues second.
The sea breeze at night is softer than during the day, lingering and gentle, and you can taste a bit of warmth. It looks like tomorrow will be another good day.
Baiyun City cannot be compared with the big cities in the Central Plains, but although it is small, it has everything. It has what it should have, and what it shouldn’t have... it definitely doesn’t have.
At first, Tarona strolled around on other people's roofs, and later she stepped directly on the air, relying on the fact that no one could see her, and strolled around in the sky in a swaggering manner.
Looking down from the sky, the lights of Baiyun City are bright, and people are walking in the streets in groups of three or four, heading home while chatting about what to do tomorrow.
The wonton vendor at the street corner was already packing up the pots, bowls, and stoves. The last customer didn't need the owner to urge him. He finished the wontons in the bowl in a few big mouthfuls, gulped down the soup, wiped his mouth, said goodbye, and left.
The lanterns hanging outside the guest inn are lit up, orange, red, goose yellow, all festive and heart-warming colors, dimly lit in the night, and guests who come at night look at them from afar, and their hearts will also be filled with a bit of warmth.
Ding, ding, ding.
It was the night watchman who was testing his bamboo clapper and copper bell. After confirming that there was no problem, he stuffed two cakes into his arms, opened the door and went to work.
Blah, blah, blah.
It is the sound of the sea trying to wrap around the earth, and it is also the sound of the waves hitting the shore again and again.
Talona heard more.
In the sea, on the bottom of the sea, in the sky, on the earth.
[Mechanical Angel] can sense all living beings and can receive any sound, no matter how small.
As long as we call His name and pray to Him, He can hear us no matter where He is or when He is.
But He will not respond.
The most powerful weapon created by the Most High God is only wielded against darkness and evil.
He will only listen unless darkness and evil are encroaching.
——She heard the sound of swords.
The long sword was swung towards the sky, the sharp blade broke through the void, and the sound of breaking through the air was like a roar.
The angel, emitting a hazy glow, folded his wings and stood in the air. A crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, suspended in the clouds behind him.
He looked down at the earth and the dark ocean, and on the long beach he saw a man still swinging a sword after dark.
White clothes, long sword.
By the sea, under the moon.
The man had very fair skin, sharp eyebrows, star-like eyes, and was dressed in white. He was as bright as a star. He was a very handsome man, one could even say he was beautiful.
But the first thing people saw when they looked at him was not his face, but the sword in his hand. Then, they would be frightened by the man's imposing and arrogant aura and dare not look directly at him.
There is no one in the world who doesn't know him.
There is absolutely no one in the world who does not know him.
There are such people in this world. As long as you meet them, you will know who they are.
Ye Gucheng is one of these people.
How can this not be a painting, how can this not be a poem?
He looked at the man who was only concerned about the sword in his hand under the moonlight. Golden light overflowed from his dark eyes. He seemed to be sizing him up, and it seemed as if he had seen through his entire life with just one glance.
"Is this... the White Cloud Sword Immortal, Ye Gucheng?"
