The boatmen hiding in their respective rooms heard Xiang Shu's shouting without being interrupted. After a while, they finally plucked up the courage to open the door.
With a squeak, the fear on the boatman's face turned into surprise when he saw Xiang Shu and the boy, and he shouted: "Brothers, it's true! There is no danger outside, everyone, come out!"
The shouts from acquaintances were much more useful than Xiang Shu. As soon as the boatman finished speaking, several doors opened, and the silent boat immediately became lively.
After a while, the boss of the ship who didn't know where he was hiding also ran out. He looked around in fear. When he saw the corpses everywhere, he felt scared and happy at the same time. He quickly pulled Xiang Yu aside and asked.
"Little brother, what on earth is going on?"
Xiang Shen shook his head helplessly, "Boss of the ship, I don't know the details very well, but I know that it was the servants of this distinguished guest and those water thieves who fought to the death together, and we were able to survive."
The captain of the ship suddenly understood, grabbed the stunned young man and said repeatedly: "Young Master, I really can't repay you for your life-saving grace."
"Boss of the ship, it's not me."
The young man immediately defended himself. The captain of the ship was stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed his words: "Yes, yes, it was your servants who saved our lives. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to bury your servants well after we get off the ship. Let them be buried alive." An, give birth to a good child in the next life!"
The young man's face fell, "It's not him either..."
"Boss of the ship!"
Xiang Yu interrupted the young man and said solemnly: "I think the burial is a small matter, but survival is more important. Those water thieves somehow got on the boat, and they might have accomplices. If they come again, none of us can stop them. , it would be better to abandon ship,"
"Yeah!"
The boss of the ship became nervous and said, "There is a special emergency boat in the lower cabin. I will ask someone to prepare it right now!"
After saying that, the ship boss turned around and entered the cabin.
"Hey! Ship boss, you..."
After the young man said half a sentence, he saw the figure of the ship boss disappear from sight, and he could only swallow the remaining half of the sentence.
He looked at Xiang Shu at this moment, feeling very depressed. He knew that Xiang Shu seemed reluctant to pay attention to him, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to put the credit on me? It was obviously you who killed the person."
"You attracted people."
Xiang Shu looked levelly at the river and responded quietly, "Of course you will be responsible for the murder."
"So you're afraid of making enemies?"
The young man was smart and immediately understood the intention, and hurriedly said: "Then you don't have to be like this. The original leader is just a casual cultivator with a humble background. It is impossible to know any powerful people."
Xiang Shenxie glanced at him and said, "It's best this way."
Finally chatting normally with Xiang Shen, the young man struck while the iron was hot and continued: "My benefactor, Xiao Ke's name is Zhu Lu, the law of the law. I don't know your surname, can you tell me?"
"Zhu Lu?"
Xiang Shen glanced at the young man with a half-smile but not a smile, "Master Zhu, if you and I meet by chance, we won't have any intersection in the future. It's better to forget each other in the world. Why bother to share our names?"
When the young man saw that she didn't even want to reveal her name, and combined with Xiang Shu's previous actions, he suddenly guessed some of the truth.
Could it be that this person was in the same troubles as him, so he kept his name anonymous?
Manager Lin is dead, and he is going to the ancestral land of the Lu family. It is impossible for him to sneak in alone. At least one person must help him.
He didn't know whether Xiang Shen was strong or not, but the agility and caution he had shown just now were enough for him.
The young man's mind was spinning, and he quickly figured out the ins and outs, and nodded: "My benefactor is right, we met by chance, but you saved my life after all, don't I want to repay you?
Seeing as you are unwilling to take action at the dock, you probably have enemies, and the enemies are quite powerful. I know a place where fish and dragons are mixed at the moment. Even if your enemy has a background in Tongtian, he would never dare to take action in that place. "
"oh?"
Xiang Shen raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested, "Where is that place?"
"Where...I can't let the news out for the time being."
The young man said solemnly: "But my benefactor, I have said ugly things before, and that place is not peaceful. If you make up your mind to go there, you must be very cautious. I am quite familiar with that place. I can be your guide.”
Xiang Shu's eyes suddenly narrowed and he just looked at the young man quietly without responding.
The young man felt his heart tremble at the sight, and while he felt uncomfortable, he suddenly thought of an extremely serious problem in his heart.
When did this person come to the door of his room?
How much of the conversation between him and the commander did the other party listen to?
"Master Zhu, I appreciate your kindness."
Xiang Shen turned his head, looked at the slightly nervous young man, smiled slightly and said: "Young Master once rescued me from a siege, and I also saved Young Master's life today. We are all human beings. You don't owe me anything, and I don't like anyone doing anything for me." I'll take the risk. When we get to the shore, you and I can part ways."
The young man panicked, "Benefactor..."
"Master Zhu, and my little brother, the boat is ready."
The captain ran over panting and wiped his head with sweat, "Without further delay, let's get down quickly!"
"Thank you."
Xiang Shen cupped his hands and clasped his fists, turned around and walked towards the ship's ladder. The young man followed him immediately, leaving the ship's boss confused.
Mr. Zhu, how come he followed that down-and-out scholar as if he had drunk the soul-stirring soup?
Before it was tea time, all the boatmen boarded the boat and slowly sailed away from the ship.
The ship boss gritted his teeth and threw a torch onto the ship.
After Xiang Shu's reminder, he thought more. With so many water thieves dead, he could not guarantee that he would not be hunted down. The only way to survive was to burn the boat, destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.
The fire cooked the oil, and a raging fire suddenly ignited on the river. The firelight illuminated everyone's face, and also illuminated the hesitation in the young man's heart.
It wasn't until this moment that he clearly realized that he was alone.
He is no longer a high-ranking big shot, he is just a bereaved dog, an isolated and helpless beast.
It's ridiculous that he still tries to use the same tricks he used to control before, deceiving the casual cultivators into his own use. That scar-faced Sanxiu was so decisive in killing, and his thoughts were as deep as the sea. How could he be deceived?
But if the truth is told, will he be the second king commander?
The young man was worried and looked at Xiang Shen on the other boat from time to time, suffering unbearably.
The young man's gaze was so obvious that Xiang Shu couldn't feel it and just pretended not to see it.
The Lu Kingdom was destroyed, and the little prince who fled was definitely in great trouble. She was only at the fifth level of Qi training, so how could she have the strength to get involved? Staying far away and protecting yourself wisely is the best policy.
…
A ray of dawn ushered in the horizon, finally dispelling the long darkness.
When the boat boss and others saw the river bank, their tense expressions finally relaxed, they all showed joy and rowed forward hard.
Only the young man looked anxious and confused.
Not long after, several small boats docked smoothly.
Seeing that Xiang Yu said hello to the boss of the ship and was about to leave, the boy's inner anxiety finally reached its limit at this moment, and he chased after him regardless.
"Brother! Brother, wait for me..."
A shout came from behind, but Xiang Shi turned a deaf ear and didn't look back. The wind blew under his feet and he walked faster and faster.
The young man was so pampered that his physical strength could not be compared with Xiang Shen's. Although he tried his best to catch up, the distance between the two was still getting farther and farther.
Just as he was about to lose his vision, the young man's heart skipped a beat and he shouted: "Brother, I'll give you the Foundation Establishment Pill! A whole bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Xiang Shen paused for a moment, frowned briefly, and immediately returned to the young man. Without waiting for the young man to say anything in surprise, he pulled him around and entered the dense forest in the mountains, hiding motionless in a bush.
The young man was forced to hold his breath by Xiang Shen and felt very uncomfortable. However, before he could ask a question, he heard several crackling sounds coming from outside.
"Foundation Pill?"
"Senior brother, did you hear wrongly?"
The person who came was obviously a monk. Fear flashed in the eyes of the young man hiding in the bushes, and he consciously held his breath. The conversation outside continued.
"Yes, senior brother, this ghost place is full of mortals, not even a monk can be seen, where did the Foundation Establishment Pill come from?"
"I just clearly heard..."
"Stop talking! Master asked us to rush there within three days. This is already the fourth day, so we can't delay."
"That's all."
After hearing a few more crackling sounds, it became quiet outside.
The young man wanted to get up, but was held down by Xiang Shu. He was not released until no one came for a long time.
The young man stood up, scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "You saved my life again, but I...I can't help it."
Xiang Shu glanced at him, said nothing, turned around, jumped down the hillside, and walked into the forest.
After taking a few steps, she turned around and saw the young man still following her. Her expression finally cooled down: "You don't have to follow me. I'm not interested in your Foundation Establishment Pill."
"So what are you interested in?"
The young man took three steps at a time and ran to Xiang Shu's side, "Heart Law! Do you want to practice the true Heart Law? I have one too! They are all complete Heart Law and can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Xiang Shen raised his eyebrows: "Earth level mind method?"
The fifth level of qi training was still some time away from foundation building. She was not in a hurry to get the foundation building pill, but the mental method spoke to her heart.
The shortcomings of "Three True Methods" are very obvious. The level is low and the speed of operation is too slow. As a result, she needs to accumulate power in advance every time she makes a move. When encountering a monster fight head-on, she can only be driven away and flee.
If you can modify a domineering mental method, the situation will be completely different, and the speed of cultivation will be much faster.
"Earth level mind method?!"
The young man's eyes widened and he took a slight breath, "Brother, you really dare to say that! That is the inheritance of the Seventh Rank Zhen Sect. Let alone the royal family of the Lu Kingdom, even if the Blazing Flame Sect is turned upside down, it is impossible to have such a thing. .”
The inheritance of Qipin Zhen Sect...
Xiang Shen thought about this word in her heart, and she fled in a hurry. She hadn't read the common sense books in the sect, so she could only half-guess.
The Blazing Flame Sect is an eighth-grade sect. So, the Earth Level Mental Technique is the sect-suppressing mental technique of a seventh-tier sect?
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu showed a hint of disgust on his face, and asked in a neutral tone: "Then tell me, what level is your mentality?"
