Although Huang Qilin never mentioned it and Old Man Bai didn't say much, the excitement in people's eyes when they saw Huang Qilin showed that their previous relationship was definitely extraordinary! These few people are not gangsters, so naturally they cannot seize the ship by force. If Old Man Bai becomes suspicious, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding!
Just as Mu Fengchun was thinking about how to explain, he saw the old man patting his head and pointing at Wu Hao and saying, "The reason why you are here again is probably because of this distinguished guest!" The old man sighed and said, "This Although your guest is slightly injured, his condition is probably the same as that of Mr. Qingshe. You must be here to go to the Moon Viewing Altar to find a way to save people!"
Mu Fengchun was stunned when he heard the words, then nodded repeatedly and said: "Ah...yes, that's exactly it!" After saying that, he turned around and saw that Wu Hao had a different look on his face, and he quickly took the topic to himself. , chatting with old man Bai...
Although the boat under Old Man Bai was small, and it was going upstream, its speed was smooth and steady. It didn't take long to pass Sanchawu. Originally, these people came to Sanchawu to inquire about news. Since the master of Qin Pond said that he knew about Yuan Hua's whereabouts, they did not stop and continued paddling forward...
Halfway through the journey, Old Man Bai pointed to the distance and said: "Follow this branch to the east, which is the shortcut to the Moon Viewing Altar. However, this river has shown signs of drying up in recent years. I am here." Although the draft of this small boat is not deep, it is easy to hit the bottom by dark rocks and is difficult to pass. When you arrive at Sankou Pond, wait a moment and let me find a more solid raft to transport you away from Guanyue. The altar is closer."
"Then there's Boss Laobai!" Mu Fengchun said gratefully, thinking that meeting Zegui was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, if the next few people had to wade through the water, they would have been delayed for an unknown amount of time.
There was no words for the rest of the journey. Everyone looked at the retreating scenery in a daze and didn't know what they were thinking. Only old man Bai rowed forward leisurely and hummed a little song.
Mu Fengchun looked at the scenery flying away in front of him, and his spirit was in a trance. It was as if time was flowing backwards as the scenery receded, and he had returned to his home in Yongchuan Country...
"Dear guests! Sankoutang has arrived!" As Old Man Bai finished singing, several people finally arrived at Sankoutang.
When they stepped onto the pier, they saw people coming and going around, and large boxes and cans were piled all over the floor, which made them feel uncomfortable in such a lively environment.
Just when they were stunned, they heard a noise in the distance. Two neatly dressed teams walked out from the crowd and surrounded them. Then, one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a vest, Walked out swaggeringly.
This man had a ferocious face. He was a head taller than the others. He was already very eye-catching. Coupled with the dark spear in his hand, he looked even more ferocious. He slammed the spear on the ground with a clang, It almost made a hole in the pier.
"Old man Bai, are they the guests invited by the pond master?" the vicious man said loudly.
When Old Man Bai saw this man, his face immediately turned pale, and he hurriedly stopped him: "First Elder, have you forgotten that Master Qin Tang asked you not to do anything random?"
"Don't care about a certain family! Old man Bai, don't stop a certain family! This is the rule of Sankoutang! The last time a certain family was away, they broke the rules. This time, no matter what, we must let them practice with a certain family!" This man's long face The spear clattered to the ground again, causing a crack to appear on the dock.
"Old man Bai! What's going on? Is this how you treat guests in Sankoutang? We might as well stop at Sanchawu!" Yu Siling missed Sanchawu and watched the fish being cooked in the fairy furnace. Gradually going away, my heart was bleeding. At this time, when someone blocked the road, I also felt an unknown fire.
"Dear guests, please don't get me wrong. In fact, this was my negligence..." Old Man Bai explained with an aggrieved look.
It turns out that these three ponds have always had a strange rule, that is, they believe in a saying: No fight, no acquaintance. So no matter what, outsiders must have a fight with them before entering Sankoutang.
The original intention of setting up this rule was because Sankoutang is located in a remote area, and we wanted to deepen our understanding of the outside world through this method. The two sides had always been on point, never crossing the line, until the great elder appeared.
The great elder's real name was Wu Chi. Because he regarded martial arts as his destiny, people called him Wu Chi. Elder Wu Chi was indeed worthy of his name. Whenever he saw someone, he would gesture with them. Later, when people saw him, they hid, birds dispersed, and even dogs would run away with their tails between their legs.
Sankoutang was booming at this time, and naturally many outsiders came here every day. Wu Chi simply sat cross-legged on the pier with a spear, and whenever anyone came, he screamed and went up to fight with them, which frightened the whole period. Time never comes again.
The pond owner at that time was Qin Ming's father. He was so angry that he severely punished the elder and put him in solitary confinement. Only then did Sankou Pond regain its former peace. Originally, it was agreed that this time, someone would be sent casually to make a formality, but they neglected to mention that the elder's confinement time had passed and he had to come to make gestures anyway. Although Qin Ming had warned him, he was not as majestic as his father and could not convince the great elder.
"Old man Bai! What are you still complaining about? Get out of the way of a certain family!" Although Wu Chi was not convinced by Qin Ming, he would not do anything disobedient. Especially when he heard that someone was coming here, he felt itchy. On the surface, After agreeing, he couldn't help but sneak out with the team.
"Are you guys coming together? Or one by one?" Wu Chi turned around and saw that no one was chasing him. He breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.
"Great Elder! How dare you disobey Master Qin Tang!" Old Man Bai shouted angrily.
"Hmph! At worst, a certain family will continue to confine them after they go back! Don't meddle in other people's business! One, two, three... you three women step aside, and the remaining two leaders will have a good fight with a certain family!"
After hearing that Wu Chi classified Huang Qilin as a woman, several people's expressions were strange. They felt that Huang Qilin's body was getting colder, and he even had a faint murderous intent.
Mu Fengchun winked, and Wu Hao understood what he meant. He stepped in front of Boss Bai and said coldly: "One hand is enough to deal with you!"
"Haha! Good boy! A certain family likes your arrogance! But a certain family wants to see how long you can be arrogant?" Wu Chi couldn't wait for a long time. He pressed the black spear in his hand and hit Wu Hao on the shoulder. Hao didn't even try to hide. He really raised a hand and held the spear directly in his hand.
"What a good boy! You actually dare to take a move from a certain family, you are quite capable, but a certain family underestimated you!" Wu Chi was a little surprised when he saw that the man in front of him had received a move without changing his expression, but he still When he was about to continue talking, he suddenly felt that the spear became extremely hot, and then there was a burst of anxiety in his hands.
The onlookers thought they were in for a good show, but they saw Wu Chi let out a cry of pain and dropped the spear directly into the water. Then Wu Chi himself flapped his hands and plunged into the water with a plop while shouting ouch ouch. .
Mu Fengchun and the others naturally knew what happened, and smiled for a while. Then they turned to Old Man Bai and said, "Boss Bai, please go get ready. We will come back after we find out what happened. It won't take too long." After saying that, they followed the two teams and left the dock.
"Oh...oh, good!" Old Man Bai was still dazed. Although he didn't know what happened to the great elder, he finally knew that these people in front of him were not good people, so he hurriedly prepared the raft.
"Master Qintang! Something bad has happened! The great elder is missing!" In the main hall, a Sankoutang disciple hurried in.
"Oh, I see. How is the meal prepared?" In the main hall, a well-dressed young man said with a nonchalant smile. This person was Qin Ming.
"Ah?" The disciple didn't respond, so he quickly replied: "Back to the pond master, the food is ready, but... the great elder..."
"Go ahead and serve the food! These distinguished guests don't have much time to waste." Qin Ming waved his hand and said calmly, and the disciple could only retreat slowly.
"Pond Master, are you not worried at all?" A slightly thin middle-aged man next to him asked with a smile.
"What are you worried about?" Qin Ming said.
"Of course it's those distinguished guests," the third elder said.
Qin Ming smiled when he heard this and said, "The third elder really thinks that I don't know that the first elder left secretly?"
The third elder was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion: "Since the pond master knows, why doesn't he stop it?"
"This great elder is used to being arrogant. It's time for someone to kill him for his majesty." Qin Ming said with a faint smile.
"Why is the pond master so confident in those people?" asked the third elder.
"I just trust my judgment...Look, aren't they coming?" Qin Ming said mid-sentence, and suddenly stood up and walked over, "Everyone is finally here, but I had to wait so hard!" Qin Ming said slightly He cupped his fists and motioned for everyone to take a seat.
Mu Fengchun saw that Qin Ming's hands were slightly clenched at his waist. He must be a very cautious person. However, this man's tone was modest and he didn't have any airs about the pond master. Instead, he nodded slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Qin Pond Master, you don't have to be polite." , please tell me what you know!"
"It's a long way to the Moon Viewing Altar, so there's no rush. The food will be ready soon. You'd better sit down and listen to me slowly!" After Qin Ming finished speaking, he said to the third elder: "Third elder, you sent Go and call the First Elder...and ask them to find out why the Second Elder hasn’t come back after being away for so long?”
The third elder heard the words and bowed before turning and leaving.
"Dear guests, there is no one else around now. If you want to know anything, just ask."
Everyone was already exhausted after a long night of toil. They just had to be on guard at all times on the road and didn't feel anything wrong. At this time, they naturally relaxed and felt hungry after having a rest somewhere... even though they had been entertained in Qingyang Mountain before. , but only Yu Siling ate from beginning to end, and after they discussed it, there was nothing left on the table. Since Qin Ming was willing to entertain him, they didn't refuse much.
"In this case, I do have something that I need to trouble Master Qin Tang to explain..."
