Yes, what was rising slowly from the bottom of the river to the surface at this time was a submarine about forty meters long. Because it was changing from diving to surface navigation, there was a lot of water on the hull. Being pushed out.
If it is the first time someone sees this kind of thing, it is easy to mistake it for a monster emerging from the water.
Compared to the scene of the four-legged snake leaping out of the water just now, the scene of the submarine surfacing now was just the ships on the river, or the two sides of the river. Many more people saw it.
So for a moment, there were huge and chaotic screams on the river and on both sides of the river.
Shu Guan naturally wouldn't think it was a monster.
As a time traveler, he still recognized the thing rising from the bottom of the water at a glance. It was a submarine.
Shu Guan knew that there were submarines in this world. After all, the world already had cars and airplanes, so what was so strange about submarines?
After Yi Shuguan came out of Taoyuan Valley, he had learned about the outside world in the past two years. He already knew that the level of technological development in this world was roughly equivalent to the World War II period in the world he traveled to, and even more advanced in some fields.
Therefore, Shu Guan was not surprised at seeing a submarine. What surprised him was that he saw a submarine here.
Can a submarine come to an inland river?
This was the first question that arose in his mind.
However, Shu Guan quickly remembered a military article he had read in his previous life. As long as the depth of the inland river is sufficient, some small-tonnage submarines can indeed sneak in the inland river, but the requirements for the river environment are extremely high.
Well, Dahua's river is wider and deeper than the Yangtze River in China in his previous life.
But the problem is that Dahua has no submarines at all.
Dahua's navy is almost just an army that exists on paper in the Ministry of National Defense. It doesn't even have a few decent ordinary ships. How can it possibly have submarines, the most advanced ships of this era?
So the submarine floating up from the bottom of the river is definitely not Dahua's.
So how did this submarine pass through a river that is thousands of kilometers long and sneak into the waters of Jingcheng from the ocean?
Yes, this section of the river near Jingcheng is very wide and deep enough to allow a medium-sized submarine to move around.
However, from the estuary of the river, which is thousands of kilometers away, to Jingcheng, the waterway conditions along the way are much more complicated. Many places are not suitable for submarine navigation at all, or even impassable.
So where did this submarine come from?
Just as these doubts arose in Shu Guan's mind, he saw a hatch above the submarine on the river open.
Then one after another black figures came out of the submarine.
Everyone is dressed in black, with their heads and faces covered in black hoods. They stand on the smooth hull of the submarine, as steady as a rock.
The moment he saw these men in black appearing, Shu Guanse's body suddenly shook, and then he understood everything.
It turns out... they had been hiding in a submarine!
These practitioners of the Black Dragon Society, the Seven Immortals Alliance, specially organized a joint search team at the beginning, and searched almost every inch of Jing City, but their hiding place was never found. This also troubled the Seven Immortals Alliance. A long time thing.
Where are those men in black hiding?
Now Shu Guan finally knows the answer!
They actually drove a submarine directly over!
Yes, it is indeed an almost impossible task for a mortal army to sail such a medium-sized submarine into a river from a distant ocean, sneak through thousands of kilometers of complex and changeable waterways, and enter the waters of Jingcheng. , even the most elite military in the world cannot do it.
But what if the people in the submarine were a group of practitioners?
That's not incredible.
For practitioners, there are too many Taoist techniques that can help submarines overcome obstacles along the way.
Water level too shallow?
That
Just use earth magic to make the river bed deeper.
Waterway too narrow?
Dozens of practitioners who are above the Qi-entraining stage are enough to use Taoism to lift a submarine and let it span a considerable distance.
Therefore, if there are practitioners who take action, it is indeed not too difficult for a submarine to cross a thousand-kilometer river and sneak into Jingcheng secretly.
As for the problem of hiding for more than a year or even longer, that is not a problem at all.
Soldiers in the mortal army perform tasks in submarines and have no problem staying away from shore for several months. What's more, they are a group of practitioners. They can easily pass the time just by meditating and practicing pranayama.
What's more, they are a group of practitioners who appear to have undergone rigorous training!
And while hiding in a submarine, it's not like you can't come out and move around.
Shu Guan thought of the ships that had mysterious accidents in the past two years. They all happened in remote places late at night. They probably happened to encounter this submarine and was out and about, and then were silenced by the men in black on the submarine.
Many doubts suddenly cleared up in Shu Guan's mind at this moment!
It turns out that these men in black have been hiding in the river, hiding in a submarine.
No wonder they never find these people!
At the same time, Shu Guan once again felt deeply shocked by the person who planned the whole thing.
Yes, although it is not too difficult to get a submarine to Jingcheng through practitioners.
But whoever can come up with such an idea is really a genius!
After being shocked, Shu Guan's expression also became more serious.
Sure enough, as he had expected, in addition to the two Nascent Soul realms, the Black Dragon Society also had a powerful force in Jing City.
At this time, there were fifty or sixty people in black clothes who came out of the submarine. Looking at the fluctuations of spiritual power on the people in black clothes, there were more than twenty people who had just met the realm, and four of them were even more... He should be a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm!
The strength of these men in black is almost comparable to the strength of the Seven Immortals Alliance in Jingcheng.
Coupled with those two Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses, how could his two masters alone stop the Black Dragon Society from blowing up the Turtle and Snake Mountains!
The person who planned everything behind the scenes really had a plan that left no chance for his opponents!
When these thoughts flashed through Shu Guan's mind, on the river a few miles away, the men in black on the submarine were divided into two groups, one facing Guishan, and the other facing Snake Mountain. Direction, come directly on the waves.
Shu Guan's expression suddenly changed again.
Then he gritted his teeth, put down the sack on his back, and took out the giant horn bow and iron arrows.
Anyway, let’s kill a batch first!
Then at this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Seventh Junior Brother!"
…
A piece of green leaf floated out from the wall of Tan Yankai's mansion. It floated and floated with the breeze. After floating nearly a thousand meters away, it stopped in the air and now appeared in Mu Yao's figure.
Mu Yao's realm is at the peak of the First Consciousness Realm, and is only one step away from the Fetal Movement Realm. Before Shu Guan entered the realm, he could almost be said to be the strongest among the second generation disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance.
So when he left using the Hidden Leaf Technique, even Master Miki and Su Jie couldn't easily detect it. Moreover, at this time, Master Miki and Su Jie's attention was on Li Zhixia and Shu Guan, who had just left. So Mu Yao quietly left Tan Yankai's house.
Just standing on the deserted street late at night, Mu Yao was extremely confused for a moment, not knowing where to go.
Master...is "Swallow", right?
Although he didn't know the cause of the scene that just happened in Tan Yankai's house, he roughly guessed the reason.
Especially when the "servant" kicked him, the spiritual power that invaded his body made him feel too familiar. At other times, Mu Yao would not have dared to doubt the master, but as soon as he opened his eyes and woke up, he saw the master Being besieged by Master Sanmu and Chief Su Jie, Mu Yao at that moment
Naturally everything is understood.
The round-faced young Taoist priest had no intention of resenting his master for kicking him. At this moment, he was only worried about what happened to his master.
Obsessed?
Or is it for other reasons?
It's just that the fact that Li Zhixia is a "swallow" is not very important in the eyes of the round-faced young Taoist priest.
The master is the master, it has nothing to do with who else he is.
However, for Mu Yao, who has followed the rules all his life and regarded the Good Self-Contemplation as everything he has, he also thought of many things at this moment, such as what to do with the Good Self-Contemplation in the future, what will be the final result of the master, etc., mature and prudent Mu Yao has already started to think about it all.
But the most important thing now is to find the master and seventh junior brother first.
So where will Junior Brother Seven take his master?
Just when Mu Yao was hesitating and confused, the sound of strong wind breaking through the sky suddenly came from ahead, and several familiar figures rushed towards this side in the night.
But all the junior brothers and sisters came.
Mu Yao hurriedly greeted him.
"follow me!"
He waved to the anxious-looking junior brothers and sisters, and ducked into a secluded alley.
After seeing Mu Yao, everyone else was obviously relieved, and then followed Mu Yao into the remote alley.
"Second Senior Brother, what happened? Seventh Junior Brother said that something might have happened to the master and asked us to go to Tan Yankai's house."
An Zichun asked seriously.
Mu Yao was silent for a while and then said something.
"The master is "Swallow". "
Then, except for Mu Yao, everyone stood there as if petrified.
Everyone's mouth widened in a daze, showing a look of confusion.
Is the master the "Swallow"?
That "Swallow Man" who was doing chivalry in Jingcheng?
The mysterious person "Swallow" they have been looking for for a long time?
If Mu Yao hadn't been the one who told them about this, they wouldn't have believed it at all.
But Senior Brother Mu is not a person who can lie, nor is he someone who would joke about such things.
Just thinking about the master's usual rigid and serious appearance, and then thinking about the fact that in private he was the "Swallow" who acted wantonly and openly, it really made these disciples feel weird and speechless.
However, Mu Yao's eyes swept across the faces of every junior brother and junior sister, and found that apart from being shocked and surprised, no one showed any anger or dissatisfaction after being deceived by the master.
Mu Yao suddenly felt a lot of relief in his heart.
The wordless silence lasted for a long time.
"Are you obsessed?"
After a long time, An Zichun asked in a low voice.
"have no idea."
Mu Yao disguised his master as a "servant" to sneak up on him and told him what he saw after he woke up.
"Where is the master now?"
Then Rui Jian raised her eyebrows and asked. When she heard that Li Zhixia was being attacked, there was no trace of gentleness between her eyebrows, and her eyebrows were as sharp as swords.
"Master was seriously injured under the siege of Master Miki and Shanchang Su Jie. Now he has been rescued by the seventh junior brother. I don't know where he went."
"Will they come back to Guanli?"
Qiu Yang scratched his head and said.
He was fully armed at the moment, with a Gatling gun on his back, a full ammunition belt hanging on his chest, and two pistols on one side of his waist. The barrels were exaggeratedly thick, and the other side was full of bullets. grenade.
At this moment, Qiu Yang was covered with weapons. With his burly and majestic body, although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he definitely didn't look like a Taoist priest, nor did he look like his original identity of a university professor, but more like an upcoming Taoist priest. Soldiers going to the battlefield.
Of course, what he was wearing was not an ordinary weapon. Not long ago, after hearing that something might happen to his master, Qiu Yang
Then he brought all the most powerful weapons in his weapon room.
At this time, if Qiu Yang was on a suitable battlefield, he could kill a regiment of ordinary people's army by himself.
When it comes to the lethality against ordinary people, none of the disciples in Shanyi Guan are as efficient as Qiu Yang, unless Li Zhixia performs the Thunderous Taoist Technique.
"No, Junior Brother Seven will never bring his master back to the temple. That would be equivalent to inviting Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy to come to our door."
Upon hearing Qiu Yang's guess, Mu Yao shook his head decisively.
"Then where will they go?"
An Zichun frowned and thought deeply.
But no one could return to his question, and no one could guess where Lao Qi would take his master.
An Zichun raised his hand, and a handful of millet fell from his hand. An Zichun stared at the rice grains falling on the ground like a drizzle. After a while, he shook his head in disappointment at the others.
He couldn't figure out where his master and seventh junior brother had gone.
Then everyone was silent again.
This time, it was a burst of laughter from the Sang Li people that broke the silent atmosphere.
The handsome young Taoist priest chuckled.
Two years have passed. When Shu Guan first met Sangli, he looked like a young man. Now he still looks like a young man with red lips and white teeth, as beautiful as a flower.
Even Shuguan's appearance seems to have matured a lot, but the temperament of the Sangli people has not changed.
What hasn't changed is his temperament, which is high-spirited and heartless.
Just like this moment, he was the only one who suddenly laughed.
"Old Liu, why are you laughing?"
Rui Jianqiao glared at him.
"I know I should be more bearable now..."
Sang Liren chuckled and said:
"But after knowing what the master did secretly, junior brother, I am inexplicably happy, um, and a little proud!"
"but……"
Sang Liren's smile slowly turned into a bitter smile.
"It's a good thing for him. He caused trouble and the person who patted his butt disappeared. The question is what should we do now?"
"If Monk Miki or Old Man Su finds us, we will either be taken to Guiyuan Temple to eat fast, or we will be imprisoned in the academy to study."
So Mu Yao immediately glared at him.
"Don't be rude to Master Miki and Master Su Shan!"
No matter what happened, the master was wrong, but Master Miki and Master Su Jie did nothing wrong.
[In view of the general environment,
Mu Yao would never side with Master Sanmu and Chief Su Jie to deal with the master, but that didn't mean he would confuse right from wrong.
However, Junior Brother Sixth is right. If Master Miki and Chief Su Jie find them, the harm will not really hurt them, but they may really have to be locked up for a period of time.
In that case, they would not be able to help the master.
Mu Yao never wanted this to happen.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to the junior brothers and sisters:
"Let's go to Pig Cage Walled City!"
…
Tan Yankai's mansion is not far away in the Pig Cage Walled City.
A few minutes later, a group of disciples from Shan Ji Guan appeared under the peeling paint of the road sign.
It can be vaguely seen that in this late night, there are still many houses with dim lights on in the walled city. On the Momo Lake, there are some women wearing thin dresses with their skirts exposed, standing in the streets and alleys, and some The drunkards who were also wandering the streets late at night were chatting in low voices.
This was originally the poorest and most chaotic place in the entire Jingcheng.
Mu Yao took a few steps forward alone and stood in front of the wintersweet blooming in the night.
Not long after, he was holding a cigarette in his mouth, yawning, his clothes were disheveled, and he smelled of a strong powdery smell.
Nan Fei slowly walked out of it.
"What are you doing? You're up so late at night? Why are you here here? Do you know that I've just been tired all night?"
He asked Mu Yao with a face filled with resentment.
Mu Yao bowed his hands politely and said:
"Brother Nan, I want to meet Senior Nan Mei!"
