Chapter 252, aftermath
Qingshi killed the arrogant Yueyang with unparalleled power, leaving everyone dumbfounded and in awe.
Qingshi put away his sword and stood upright, secretly thinking that it was a fluke. At this time, he had exhausted all his true energy and could only use three more swords at most. If Yuanyang hadn't been severely injured in his right eye, blinded, and confused, Qingshi wouldn't have been able to kill him in one fell swoop. Then Qingshi himself would have narrowly escaped death.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the sea, jumped several feet into the air, and landed steadily on the bow of the Hyuga. It was Hu Hailong. He pulled Yueyang's hair into a bun, held his head in his hands and said with a smile, "Hahaha... Senior brother, am I right? Yueyang's head was chopped off by the boss!"
Hu Hailong had just emerged from the water when he saw Qingshi cutting off Yuayang's head with a sword and dropping it into the water. He immediately dived and swam over, picked up his head, and then jumped onto the boat.
Hu Hailong laughed and looked around, and found that almost everyone was looking at Qingshi at a loss, as if they were stunned by him, while Hawkeye Liu fell on the deck, uncertain about his life or death.
"Senior brother!" Hu Hailong dropped Yueyang's head, rushed to Eagle Eye Liu and squatted down, gently supporting him. Huang Ji and the other two men who were injured but still alive finally came to their senses and quickly called out and rushed to squat down next to Hawkeye Liu.
The eagle-eyed Liu Qi was like a silk thread. When he saw Hu Hailong coming, he said happily: "Hai...Hailong...ok! I saw it, you...your boss... ...amazing!"
"Master!" Hu Hailong shouted towards Qingshi, "Save my senior brother!"
Qingshi came over, took out one of the best healing pills and handed it to Hu Hailong. He also took two level five recovery pills himself. Hu Hailong quickly took the healing pill and fed it to Hawkeye Liu.
"Master!" Hu Hailong was still worried and said to Qingshi, "Is my senior brother okay?"
Qingshi is now unable to detect the injuries of Hawkeye Liu, let alone give him energy to heal his injuries. All he could say was: "This elixir should be able to protect his heart for a while. If he can survive tonight, I can save him! Let's see what happens to him!"
After Qingshi finished speaking, he walked towards the bow of the ship and gestured to Chen Tianye to let him bring the Xuanhu closer. Not long after, the Black Tiger approached the Hyuga, and the Sea Eagle also came close.
Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian jumped on the Hyuga and came to Qingshi.
Zheng Qiyun, Ma Kui and others also came over one after another. After everyone checked Hawkeye Liu, they couldn't find any better way, and everyone stamped their feet anxiously.
Hawkeye Liu took the medicine and his injury stabilized slightly. Everyone immediately asked him to rest peacefully, and then one by one they stepped forward and bowed to Qingshi with awe that was beyond words. Wei Jiling also returned to the Hinata. He, Wu Yanyun and others came forward and knelt down on one knee to Qingshi to express their surrender.
Qingshi did his part, accepted their prayers one by one, and then took Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian back to the Xuanhu, while Hu Hailong stayed with Hawkeye Liu.
After the war, the waters of Green Sand Island slowly returned to calm. As night fell, all the ships gathered in the leeward north of Green Sand Island and anchored. Zheng Qiyun and Wei Jiling cleaned up the soldiers and sailors in their respective fleets and dealt with the aftermath.
After Qingshi returned to the Xuanhu, he immediately entered his cabin and started the Great Huang Gong, hoping to restore his energy and spirit as soon as possible.
The night was uneventful, and the weather was rare and sunny the next day. The soldiers were in a good mood. They laughed and said that they died crossing the ocean, and even God smiled.
After a night of recovery, Qingshi naturally returned with full blood. He walked up to the top deck of Xuanhu in high spirits, stretched his body in front of the rising sun, and moved his muscles. After recalling yesterday's battle to kill across the ocean, Qingshi also gained new insights into Tao killing styles and secret techniques in the Tao killing field, and gained a lot.
Hu Hailong had returned to the Xuanhu and had been waiting for Qingshi. When he saw him coming out, he immediately stepped forward to say hello. Hu Hailong took out a wooden box containing seven or eight storage rings and bracelets and presented it to Qingshi, saying: "Master, these are all the items on Yueyang's body. They belong to you according to the rules. They dare not act rashly and asked me to present them to you." you."
Qingshi nodded slightly and raised his hand to accept it.
"Master!" Hu Hailong said again, "My senior brother finally survived the night, thank you to Master for the elixir. But we are not sure how to treat him next! Master, you see... ..."
"Okay!" Qingshi smiled, "As long as I'm here, your senior brother can't die. Don't worry, I'll save your senior brother after I have breakfast!"
Basking in the morning sun on the sea, Qingshi enjoyed a delicious breakfast, and then came to the Sea Eagle to check on Hawkeye Liu's injury. Of course, Hawkeye Liu was seriously injured. If Qingshi hadn't been there, he would have died. But now, nourished by the powerful vitality of Qingshi Five Elements Perfection Qi, in less than an hour, all the severed meridians in Eagle Eye Liu's body were reconnected. As for other internal injuries, fractures, etc., there is no need for Qingshi to take action, as the military alchemist has already taken care of them.
Qingshi finished his work and smiled at Hu Hailong: "Take good care of yourself, and within half a year, your senior brother will be a lively man again."
Hu Hailong, Zheng Qiyun, Huang Ji, Ma Kui and others burst into tears of gratitude, and their awe and respect for Qingshi increased by three points.
Later, Qingshi took Duan and Chen back to Dongfu City.
Hu Hailong returned to Ishigaki Island with Zheng Qiyun and others. The first thing they did after returning was to kill Yueyang's wife, children, and children. Kuang Sanshan, who was responsible for protecting the Yueyang family, naturally stood with Zheng Qiyun and others.
Subsequently, Zheng Qiyun prepared a memorial and submitted it to the court, impeaching Transocean for various crimes over the years. A total of ten charges were listed, including defying the imperial power and plotting evil, exceeding the establishment of a private army, secretly looting official and private merchant fleets, and setting up private checkpoints. Exploiting the common people and so on. None of it was framed.
At the same time, Wei Jiling and Wu Yanhua jointly published another report, reporting that they were coveting the treasures of a private material merchant called "Slaying the Dragon" across the ocean, and led Zhonglang to rob and kill the opponent's merchant ship. The outcome was not as good as fate. , during the fierce battle between the two sides, a blue mirage dragon demon appeared in the sea, and swallowed up all the people in Yueyang Gaojiu and even the 'Dragon Slayer' shop. Except that Yueyang and Gaojiu Tulong are indeed dead, there is no half-truth in this story.
Naturally, the imperial court sent people to conduct a detailed investigation, and it was found that the crimes committed across the ocean were true, and many other illegal things such as raping women, abducting children, and forcing girls into prostitution were also discovered.
As for the question of why Yueyang was eaten by the sea monster and why all his family members disappeared, Zheng Qiyun said that it was probably because they and Yueyang were eaten by the sea monster.
Going out to rob and bring your family with you?
The ancestors of Yueyang have been pirates for eight generations, and they are originally a pirate family! It seems reasonable that the whole family would go out to rob together!
Since the transoceanic crime was true, the rest was not important. The investigating officials were bribed by Zheng Qiyun and were too lazy to pursue the case.
The imperial court was happy to get rid of such a curse as Yueyang, but it was afraid of the criticism caused by the disclosure of Yueyang's crimes, so it kept the matter high and did not pursue further investigation. Soon, no one mentioned it anymore.
Soon, the imperial court named Liu Haiying the Marquis of Haiying, commanding the former Haiyan Marquis' old tribe, inheriting the former Haiyan Marquis's fiefdom, and guarding the country's southern waters. As a result, Hawkeye Liu took over the overseas position. This is undoubtedly a great good thing for the tens of millions of seafarers and former Yueyang people in this area.
It had been more than half a year since Hu Hailong returned to Dongfu City. By this time, the overseas crossing had long been forgotten, and Hawkeye Liu had recovered from his injuries.
Hu Hailong didn't find Qingshi and others at Wanjin Hotel, so he came to the remote farm outside the city. The farm was still the same farm, but it had changed a lot. There were many big trees on the path to the farm. The trees became denser as they went forward. Slowly, Hu Hailong found that he had walked into a forest. Just as he was wondering, At this time, the path on the ground bifurcated and turned into three. Hu Hailong still had some knowledge and knew that he had entered a psychedelic array.
Hu Hailong wanted to test his formation-breaking skills. He immediately recalled what he had learned in the past and made some calculations, and decisively chose the path on the right. As a result, less than a hundred steps forward, there was a fork in the road again.
Hu Hailong knew he was wrong and hurried back. Unexpectedly, the path on the ground had changed. After walking for hundreds of steps, he did not return to the first fork in the road. After walking another hundred steps, he returned to the second fork in the road.
Hu Hailong knew that he would never get out like this, so he immediately wanted to use his strength to break the formation. He jumped up, tried to jump out of the tree canopy, and then used his flying wings to fly out, but even though he tried his best , and couldn't jump over the tree crowns. It seemed that those big trees were more than a hundred feet high, and it seemed that my body shape had become ten times smaller.
Hu Hailong knew that his mind was beginning to be affected by the psychedelic array. He shook his head hard, then pulled out his sword and walked in a certain direction, ignoring the path on the ground. After walking for a while, he found that he was looking for the right direction. There is still a deviation in the direction, and I am probably going in circles again.
Hu Hailong shouted loudly, slashed a small tree into two pieces with his knife, and then slashed all the way through. After cutting off hundreds of trees of different sizes, Hu Hailong felt his arms were sore and weak, and it seemed that he couldn't even hold the knife. Had to stop. Looking back, I saw that except for the big tree in front of me that was almost broken, there was no chopped down tree behind me.
Hu Hailong wailed and finally sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
At this moment, a ghost-faced puppet made of metal came from the path ahead. Hu Hailong knew that this was Qingshi's battle formation puppet and it was very powerful. He immediately got up and prepared to fight. Unexpectedly, after the puppet walked in front of him, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Walking back, Hu Hailong took a closer look and saw that there was a wooden sign hanging on the butt of the puppet, with three big Chinese characters written like "Follow me!" '
Hu Hailong was overjoyed and quickly sheathed his sword to follow. The puppet walked quickly along the path. When it encountered a fork in the road, it chose one without thinking and left. After passing more than a dozen forks in this way, Hu Hailong's eyes suddenly lit up. At the same time, Feeling his mind clearing up, he found that he had walked out of the forest, and was in front of the familiar farm.
The puppet continued to move forward, heading towards the tall and spacious barn, which was the big barn that Xiang An transformed into a competition ground.
Hu Hailong quickly took a few steps and stepped into the barn.
The sight in front of him shocked Hu Hailong. This was not a barn or a competition ground, but a smelting factory steaming with sweat and in full swing.
At one end of the workshop is a huge alchemy furnace more than one foot high. Yes, it is an alchemy furnace. Hu Hailong is not an alchemist, but he will never mistake it.
This alchemy furnace is made of unknown materials. It is huge and crude. It has six stubby legs. There are three small windows and three thick ears on the bloated furnace body. Looking in through the window, the furnace wall can be seen. It was at least three feet thick. At this time, through the three windows, one could see the golden-red liquid metal and blazing flames raging in the furnace.
The alchemy furnace turned into a blast furnace, something Hu Hailong had never seen before. In fact, this was Qingshi's invention, but it didn't cost him any less effort.
After Qingshi obtained Xuanming Jinying Stone, the first problem was to decompose it. It took Qingshi a month to decompose the hill-like ore into a pile of gravel based on Xiao Lou's memory and his own experiments and explorations. Particles.
The second difficulty is smelting. Xuanming Jinying Stone is too tough, too high temperature resistant, and too difficult to melt. Bluestone has a way to get the temperature that can smelt it, but it can't find a container to smelt it, because there is no container that can withstand high temperatures better than it. Qingshi spent two months burning more than a dozen crucibles and furnaces, but not a single piece of ore was melted.
Later, Qingshi finally found a material that could withstand such high temperatures, so he used alchemy techniques, combined with formation spells, and finally created such an ugly but effective alchemy-style furnace, successfully extracting the precious Xuanming Jinying Iron.
As for the material used to make the furnace, it was actually worthless. It was just the loess three feet deep under the farm. Qingshi originally planned to smelt Xuanming gold and silver in the egg house, but finally chose to use the farm barn as a smelting site to avoid destroying the ecology and beauty of the egg house.
In the center of the factory, dozens of metal puppets are working in an orderly manner. Two groups of six puppets are repeatedly hammering two pieces of dark red metal; a few puppets are sharpening pitch-black swords; and there are about twenty others. The puppets were polishing a huge black cannon. Some were polishing the surface, some were polishing the barrel, and some were polishing some parts.
At the other end, on a simple wooden platform made of thick logs, three shirtless men were holding wine bowls and looking at Hu Hailong with a smile.
These three people are naturally Qingshi, Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian.
