The Eighth Chapter of "Jueji·Fengjin Road" "Ninety-nine Fengjin Hunters"

Aslan·Josephine City·Inn in the West

The city of Josephine gradually came to life amidst the crisp chirping of birds.

The sunlight, which seemed to have not yet thawed, shone thinly from the clouds, shrouding the entire city in a gray-blue air, making it look even more chilly.

The inn has opened its doors to welcome guests, and a thick and strong cotton curtain is hung at the door to block the cold air outside. There is a blazing fire in the fireplace in the lobby of the inn, and the heat makes the entire lobby cozy and comfortable. Inside the archway at the back of the lobby is a busy kitchen, and bursts of food fragrance wafts out from inside, giving the entire inn a wave of vitality. Busy and bright atmosphere.

Siruf seemed to be in a good mood. She was sitting in an area in the corner, two large wooden chairs carved from black sandalwood, covered with thick cushions, and the cushions were covered with two The whole area is decorated with brown mountain bear fur and is extremely luxurious. It is very different from the simple tables and chairs in other areas. It is the most expensive and luxurious seat in the lobby. She leaned on the back of the chair slantingly, curled her feet gently on the wide chair surface, and lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was closing her eyes to relax.

Standing next to her is Ikhlos. At this moment, he is opening a box carved from agarwood and red sandalwood, and carefully picking out the tea leaves inside with a pair of exquisite-looking silver tweezers. Then, one by one, he put them into a teapot made of classical and elegant black stone in front of him. When he placed the ninth piece, he stopped, closed the box and put it away, and then poured the tea that the waiter had just delivered on the table into the teapot smoothly. An extremely rich fragrance instantly filled the lobby of the inn, and a slight smile appeared on Siruf's face. This was her favorite tea and she would carry it with her wherever she went. Not just her, but all the travelers in the entire inn lobby who were having breakfast or drinking tea and chatting, all sniffed their noses, looking for the source of the fragrance.

At this moment, the door of the inn suddenly opened with a bang. The fierce cold wind opened the cotton curtain and opened a large gap for the heat in the room. The originally strong aroma was instantly washed away. Siruf frowned, opened her eyes, and saw four or five men walking in the door, dressed in extravagant but extremely vulgar clothes.

The leader, a middle-aged man, turned his head to look at Siruf, and then whispered something to a person next to him who looked like a guard. After finishing speaking, the guard walked towards Siruf. He had a beard with a thick black curly beard, his eyes were shining brightly, and there was a narrow scar at the corner of his mouth. He looked angry. He said arrogantly to Ikhlos, "Our master wants to sit in this seat, please step aside."

Just as Ikhlos was about to move, Siruf gently raised her hand to stop him, and then She raised her sparkling eyes, smiled softly at the person in front of her with ill-intentioned intentions, and said, "We were here first."

"So what, Lord Lu Xiute never does that?" Inferior seats, please get out of the way and don't force us to take action. Otherwise..." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else in the hall turned their faces, because the name Lu Xiute was so powerful. Even the princess of Josephine City has to give face to the richest and most powerful family in the city.

Siruf still didn’t move, still smiling faintly.

The visitor smiled sinisterly and raised his hand. The teapot on the table in front of Siruf instantly lost its heat. Then the tea inside solidified into ice, and the expanding ice cubes solidified the teapot. The swelled and cracked.

A cold light suddenly shone on the face of Ikhlos next to her, but Siruf just sighed softly. She looked at the broken teapot and smiled softly.

The bearded man raised his hand and threw two golden Tunke coins in the air. The Tunke coins fell on the table with a crisp sound. "This is the money to compensate for your teapots." As soon as he finished speaking, other travelers in the lobby of the station exclaimed in low voices. They bought two gold Tunke coins, which was enough to buy a hundred teapots. Amid everyone's whispers, the man smiled contemptuously and proudly, looking at Siruf, "You'd better get out of the way. This money is enough for you to stay here for a few more weeks."

"The voice was not from Siruf. The speaker had been standing in front of the counter asking the waiter something. At this moment, he turned around gently and looked at the deadlock on Siruf's side. He turned The face that came over was just immersed in the clear sunlight shining through the window. His blue eyes shone like sapphires in the deep sea, and his golden eyelashes, golden eyebrows, and golden hair shone in the sunlight.

“It’s just two tons, what’s the pity? Lu Xiute is the richest man in Josephine, not only in our city, but even in the entire Northeast region. When it comes to the Lu Xiute family, who doesn’t know how rich they are? enemy country. "

"When I say pity, I don't mean the two tons of gold coins. I pity the teapot..." The blond man narrowed his eyes and smiled. Siruf turned around when he heard the sound. Lai looked at him with interest, as if admiring an interesting picture.

"A broken teapot, what's the pity. "The bearded man snorted coldly.

"This teapot, if I guess correctly, is not a product of Shuiyuan Yaslan. Because my family is in the freight trade, I have been exposed to goods from many other countries. I have seen this kind of teapot delivered by other merchants before. It seems to belong to the "Legarrox" family tea set series of Fengyuan Inde Empire, right? Only the Le Garrox family knows how to make this kind of teapot. The body of the teapot is made of black stone. This stone is extremely fine and has many pores inside, which is very suitable for the diffusion and penetration of the fragrance of tea. At the same time, the stone contains A large amount of gold powder and mica ore fragments, the most special thing is its bottom. Each bottom of this teapot is made of a whole piece of amber, and it is not just any piece of amber, all amber has a secret There are insect specimens called "tea-loving seeds". These insects feed on various tea leaves. After the tea leaves are digested by them, their bodies will emit a scent that seems to be refined tea essence. This kind of amber is good for any tea leaves. The catalytic effect can fully release the aroma and taste contained in tea. Because "Yochako" is inherently rare, the more corpses of "Yochako" contained in the amber, the more valuable the teapot is. Judging from this teapot..." the blond man said while glancing at the piece of amber at the bottom of the broken teapot, "there are at least ten "tea addicts" in the amber, you swallow these two Gram, I can probably buy half a teapot..."

"What did you say? ! "The bearded man was obviously shocked. His face turned red quickly, but at the same time he didn't want to lose face. He turned back and looked at the middle-aged man named Lu Xiute with a guilty conscience. The middle-aged man sighed softly. He took a breath and threw out a small brocade bag. As the brocade bag fell on the table with a thud, a dozen gold coins rolled out. It seemed that there were at least fifty in this bag. Jin Tunke. "My servant is reckless and has offended me. I hope you can forgive me. These are used to compensate for the things he broke. At the same time, I hope you can transfer this location to us. "

Siruf smiled brightly, but still didn't speak. Her eyes were shining, and she still looked sarcastic.

"Hey, it's still such a pity... "The blond man spoke again.

"Of course it would be a pity to pay fifty Jintunke! "The bearded man, who was a little embarrassed just now, said sternly, as if he wanted to save his face.

"Oh no, I still didn't mean the fifty golden tonks. What I regret is that those Tea..." The blond man laughed heartily, and his white teeth looked bright and attractive in the sunlight.

Siluv's expression became more charming, and she seemed to be attracted by this blond man's My interest has become even more intense.

"Judging from the aroma of tea that just came out, I guessed right. The tea brewed by this guest is the most popular tea brewed by Yin De, who is known as the "Wrath of the Gods". Top quality tea. Why is it called this name? Because the price of this tea, even the gods would complain about it..." At this point, the blond man couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"How expensive can it be? Can’t ten gold Tunke buy a few pieces of tea? "The bearded man's face was full of incredible anger.

"Yes, of course I can," the blond man smiled, "But I can only buy a few pieces.

The current market price of "Wrath of the Gods", the most basic level, costs fifteen gold coins per leaf. Judging from the aroma just now, this customer is clearly brewing a very high-quality "Wrath of the Gods" , I wonder how many tea leaves this gentleman brewed just now? ”

“Nine pieces. "Ihroth replied coldly. His voice sounded completely lifeless, like a cold knife.

"Oops. That would be a real pity..." The blond man shook his head as he spoke, with a very regretful expression on his face. While he was speaking, he thanked the waiter in the lobby and walked out of the door. It seemed that he was going to Left.

“Sir, you know a lot about Yinde’s items. Are you from Fengyuan? "Siruf suddenly stopped the blond man who was about to leave. She straightened her body slightly. The lazy and noble posture she had just now became dignified and beautiful.

"Don't take it seriously. I just happen to be engaged in the trade of goods between the two countries, including cloth, utensils, spices, and gems, so I know a little bit about it. No need to disturb me, just take my leave now. "After saying that, his dazzling blond hair disappeared behind the door curtain. There was a horse's neighing outside the door. Apparently, a carriage was waiting outside.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.< /p>

Siruf looked at the pale group of people in front of him with a smile, and sighed softly: "It seems that we can't drink tea today. I'll give this position to you, I'm not in the mood anymore. Siruf nodded towards Ihroth, "And it's almost time to do serious things." ”

Aslan·Josephine City in the West·Outside the City

The sound of horse hooves slowed down outside Josephine City. Gilgamesh was still deep in thought and did not He felt that the speed of the car was slowing down.

He thought over and over what the waiter at the lobby reception said. He said that Mr. "Ai Bo" had already checked out early this morning. Gilgamesh also asked about it. Mr. Aibo's condition was described by the waiter as "pale and unsteady." "The right hand kept grasping the left arm unnaturally, as if there was something wrong with the left arm, or seemed to be acting uncontrollably." He seemed to be twitching slightly." "He left in a hurry. He didn't even ask for the remaining change, so he left in a hurry." "You are his friend. He said that if anyone asks, just tell that person, "He is where the dragon scales first appeared" - Gilgamesh's brows frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry on his calm face. It seemed that Ios must be found as soon as possible. The agreed four days are coming soon, and it seems that Ios can no longer hold on any longer. If the soul escapes from his left arm, or what is even more terrifying, the soul penetrates into Ios' body and devours him. Divine consciousness... When he thought of this, a high-pitched horse whistle came from outside the carriage, bringing him back to reality from his meditation. He lifted the curtains of the window and found that he had reached the avenue outside the city.

He came from. He opened the hanging curtain in the back car and walked out. He looked around. It was not busy outside Josephine City in the early morning. Most of the scattered pedestrians were workers rushing to deliver goods, and no one noticed their clothes. Luxurious. After paying the fare to the coachman, he walked back to the back of the carriage and moved his fingers slightly. A dark and heavy box—to be precise, it looked more like a coffin—slowly came out of the carriage. It floated up, as if being held up by an invisible hand, and was slowly lowered to the ground.

It was at this time that Qi Ling and his party saw Gilsh Game. >Lianquan and Shenyin were walking in the middle, followed by Qi Ling and Youhua. Of course, the one at the front must be the wind-like man Akryuk. As he walked, he turned around and urged everyone, "Hurry up. , I'm so hungry, I want to have breakfast! "After saying this, he stopped inexplicably.

When Lianquan and the others walked up, he still did not continue forward. Instead, he turned his back to everyone and stretched out his hand, making a stop. gesture. Lianquan could feel from his increasingly tense back that the soul power in his body was slowly accumulating, as if he had encountered a mysterious natural enemy.

Lianquan could not help but obey. Looking ahead at Akryuk's back, when she saw the blond man holding a huge black coffin at the city gate and smiling slowly at them, her whole body tensed up instantly.

The golden curly hair, the god-like appearance, Qi Yu's majestic aura, and the ever-changing indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth - that has become his eternal symbol.

He looked at Lianquan and his group from a distance, smiled and nodded, looking elegant and charming. But Lianquan seemed to have seen the most terrifying sight, and subconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes. Before that, she and Yin Chen had almost risked their lives to go to the white hell to rescue this person. However, when this person actually appeared in front of her, she realized that besides expectations, there was more in her heart. Yes, it's fear, fear, and uneasiness. Perhaps the death of his brother Guishanxihun cast a shadow full of black ink on this man, and his various legends placed him at a chilling height, making him unable to get close. Although this was the first time Guishan Lianquan had seen him in person. Before, she had only imagined what he looked like from portraits, historical records, and her brother's descriptions. However, at this moment, she was convinced that the person in front of her must be Gilgamesh. .

"What's wrong?" Qi Ling and Youhua walked up and looked at Akryuk Shenyin and Guishan Lianquan who had stopped. "What's wrong with that man? He looks friendly, doesn't he look like he's looking for trouble?" Qi Ling raised his head and saw the blond man in the distance. However, he immediately discovered that on the neck of Guishan Lianquan, a golden soul path as thick as blood had appeared faintly. Soon, he discovered that a shallow line of soul was slowly appearing on the ground in front of their feet. The cracks were like the tip of a transparent sword, gently scratching the soil in front of them. Then, the crack filled with colorful neon-like transparent mist. The colored mist rose slowly, gradually forming a huge wall of air in front of them.

"Akliuk, you..." Qi Ling looked at Akliuk's back in confusion. He slightly arched his body and raised his heels slightly, like a vigilant leopard.

However, Gilgamesh just smiled softly, and then raised his hand. His wide sleeves rolled up like flowing clouds, and a few wisps of translucent air flowed slowly. Coming over, like flying insects that emitted a tiny light, Guishan Lianquan and Akryuk also suddenly spread a lot of air waves. However, when these airflows hit the huge transparent air wall in front of them, there was no huge sound or impact. Instead, as if they hit countless chimes or strings, a wonderful tinkling sound was emitted in the air. The melody, the melody is very short, only about five or six seconds. However, Akryuk's expression suddenly became astonished.

"What does this melody mean?" Guishan Lianquan knew from the expression on Akryuk's face that this melodious and soothing melody must mean something, and Akryuk Grams must know this meaning. But when she turned her head to look at Gilgamesh again, she only had time to see his last shadow left in the air. His smile was still as light as a cloud, but his whole person seemed to be blown into thin threads by the wind. Disappeared into the air.

Akryuk withdrew from the air wall in front of him, turned his head and explained to them: "The melody just now, in our Inde Empire, is the hymn of Sirufland after the Wind, every large celebration or On festivals, we all play this music for priests and celebrations. I think the person just now meant to tell me that Siruf has arrived in Josephine City." He looked at the faces of several people and asked. : "Does any of you know who that person was just now? Although I can hardly sense the existence of his soul power, I have a very wild intuition... I think he is me in the water source Yaslan field, The most terrifying person I have ever met."

Everyone shook their heads slowly. Guishan Lianquan was silent for a moment and shook his head gently: "I don't know him."

" If he is from Fengyuan, it is impossible for me not to know this person, but if he is from Shuiyuan, how can he know the music of our celebration?" Akryuk looked at the place where Gilgamesh disappeared and thought deeply.

West Aslan·Josephine City·Enze Station

After entering the city, the group slowed down and walked normally in the town. Although there are many soul masters gathered in Josephine City, after all, the majority are passers-by without soul power, and they also bring with them people like "Yin Chen" who look extremely suspicious.

As time goes by, the town gradually becomes lively, and various shops along the street are opened one after another. More and more horse-drawn carriages transport various goods, speeding past on the stone pavement. After inquiring about many inns, Akryuk finally chose an inn called "Enze" to stay. Qi Ling raised his head and looked at the bronze plate with the word "Enze" written on it at the door of the inn, feeling a complicated feeling in his heart.

The small town of Fuze where I grew up had a similar name. At that time, I was extremely far away from the world of soul magic, and my life was no different from that of ordinary passers-by. However, in just a few months, he has turned into a high-ranking Earth King, and he has also become involved with the Fengyuan Holy Sword "Fengjin". < /p>

"What are you going to do?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask.

"I'm going to report to Siruf. Although I didn't expect that she would condescend to come to Josephine Tower City, it's enough to have a few of us here. It seems that she is still worried. Ah..." Akryuk ruffled his hair and sighed, looking a little disappointed.

"How many of you? Is there anyone else sent here besides you?" Guishan Lianquan keenly captured the information in his words, raised his eyes and asked.

"Oh, don't ask so many questions. In short, you rest here and wait for me. I will report the situation to Siruf and ask her if she knows anything about your sword. Don't you really want to know about your identity?" Akryuk changed the subject.

"Then we can just go and check in at the inn where Silufu is staying. Why bother with it?" Qi Ling said, "She came all the way here, so she wouldn't have repaired it where she was. Come live in a palace, she has to live in a hotel, right?"

I think so too..." Akryuk said with a troubled face, "But I don't have that much money. The house she owns That’s valuable. I am poor. "Akliuk waved his hand and asked everyone to go upstairs to put their luggage first, and then have something to eat together.

Lianquan and Youhua live in the same room. This is what Lianquan insists on, because he protects Youhua. Flowers was a mission she had to complete. She vaguely felt that a huge storm was about to hit this city, the most important gateway on the Feng Shui border. For her oath and for her own life, she had to keep watch.

But Tianshu Youhua was very reluctant: "Who wants to live with you. Moreover, I don’t need your protection. Whoever wants to get in with me, I think he must be careful about his own life first. Moreover, the person who needs protection most here is not me. There is a loser over there. "Tian Shu Youhua glanced at Shenyin beside Qi Ling and sneered. Along the way, because of Shenyin, the speed of the group was seriously affected. For this reason, Tian Shu Youhua didn't have a good face along the way. .

Although Youhua’s words were unpleasant, Lianquan had to admit that she made sense, and the previous conversation between Akryuk and Shenyin’s seal still lingered in her mind. in her mind. So she thought about it and said, "Okay. Then be careful and call us loudly if something happens, we are next door. ”

“Don’t worry, you don’t know where I am when I am walking around the world alone. "Tian Shu Youhua said impatiently in an old-fashioned but childish and arrogant tone. After saying that, she rushed to the room.

After everyone cleaned up, they went downstairs together. After breakfast, it was actually close to noon. After finishing the meal, Akeliuk quickly ran away. Tianshu Youhua wanted to catch him, but she only had time to grab a piece of his collar. The cloth slipped on her hand, and before Tianshu Youhua could see clearly, Akryuk disappeared like a puff of smoke. There was something unreadable in Tianshu Youhua's eyes.

“Stop it, Youhua. "Qi Ling stopped her, and then went upstairs with "Yin Chen". The other people also returned to the room to rest one after another. Everyone was a little tired from running around for days, so Qi Ling returned to the room and settled down with Yin. After dusting himself, he lay down and took a nap with his clothes on.

When he woke up, the sun was no longer so dazzling. He looked at the water leakage timer in the room and found that it was already afternoon. It was three o'clock. He looked at Yin Chen and found that he was still sitting quietly by the window, with nothing but everything. His eyes were like clear lake water, reflecting the white clouds outside the window.

At this time, Guishan Lianquan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sister Lianquan, do you have anything to do with me? "Qi Ling asked sheepishly as he fiddled with his messy hair from just sleeping.

"Do you still remember the blond man we met when we entered the city?" Lianquan pulled out a chair, sat down, looked at Qi Ling, and asked seriously.

"Remember. But I don't know who he is, and I don't know why Akryuk is so nervous. I can't sense the other party's soul power at all. Even when he takes action, he The fluctuations of his soul power are also extremely small. If it weren't for the sound of those wisps of air hitting Akryuk's defensive wall, I would hardly feel that he used his soul power. And he is not a powerful character. It's obviously Feng who controls it, so it must be someone from Feng Yuan. If Akryuk doesn't know, I don't know either. Sister Lianquan, why do you think of talking about him? "Qi?" Ling sat down opposite Lianquan, holding his chin with his hands, and his big handsome eyes blinked in confusion.

"I think I know who he is..." Lianquan sighed, his eyes tightening obviously, "You are right, he has almost completely hidden his soul power, so you The existence of his soul power cannot be sensed. Moreover, when he manipulates those air flows, he only uses very, very subtle soul power, but those air flows are very stable, and the impact speed and force are the same, so they can reach the air wall one after another. And the sounds they make are of different levels, forming a melody. This kind of control is very amazing. To achieve such an effect with so little soul power, it's like...just like..." Guishan Lianquan lowered his head and thought. He thought, as if he was considering how to say it to make Qi Ling understand better, "It's like successfully lifting a huge boulder with a spider's thread."

"So powerful?" Qi Ling stared wide-eyed. Eyes wide open, "If Feng Yuan is such a powerful person, then Akliuk should know him!"

"Akliuk doesn't know him because he is from our Shuiyuan. "Guishan Lianquan's pupils trembled slightly. "From Shuiyuan? Then how can he control the wind?..." Qi Ling was confused, and suddenly he raised his head suddenly, with a surprised look on his face as if he had seen a ghost, "Could it be that he is... he is..."

"Yes, you are right, he is Gilgamesh." Guishan Lianquan nodded slowly, confirming Qi Ling's guess.

"Then why did he appear here? Isn't he afraid of the Silver Priest chasing him? And how come he has a coffin exactly like ours? What's inside? It can't be the same..." Qi Zero grabbed his hair, his expression became increasingly painful, as if he was frightened by the thoughts in his mind.

"So I'm going to find him. I want to ask him clearly." Guishan Lianquan's eyes calmed down and she said softly.

"What are you going to ask him?" Qi Ling was obviously a little nervous.

"There are too many things that I want to figure out. In fact, this journey started from the time when my brother Xihun met the pale little boy who claimed to be the Silver Priest in the abyss corridor, until I I was hunted down by the "Red News" at the same time as Suihun, and then Suihun committed suicide to save me on Seliul Island, and then Yinchen and I were captured by the apostles of Xiuchuan Jizo after we sneaked into the sea of ​​​​Ryan. , was planted to test a new soul path... This series of things happened like countless ropes, but in fact, these ropes all have the same dead knot, and that is, Gilgamesh is the only one who can untie it. All this." Guishan Lianquan stood up and turned his eyes to the window, "I must find him and ask him clearly."
