Chapter 117: Sea Monster
The Japanese pirates' burning, killing and looting along the coast actually started in the previous dynasty.
Rumor has it that the previous dynasty had organized large armies to cross the sea to conquer Japan several times, but they encountered terrible storms at sea, resulting in heavy casualties. It did not pose any threat to Japan at all. As a result, Japan used this as an excuse to come and burn, kill and loot.
The Ming Dynasty was extremely annoyed and not only formulated a maritime ban, but also built a large number of garrisons and defense stations along the coast. However, it was of no use. The Japanese pirates were elusive and could not be caught at all. Moreover, once the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to encircle and suppress them, they would flee back to Japan, leaving the Ming imperial court somewhat helpless.
However, Chen Jiu has a way to deal with these Japanese pirates.
At this time, due to the expansion of the new territory, Qingzhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture were forced to move thousands of miles eastward. Among them, the sea distance between Dengzhou Prefecture and Japan is less than a thousand miles. More and more Japanese pirates flocked to the city after hearing the news.
Chen Jiu only ordered Fu Qingfeng to fly less than a hundred miles along the coastline south of Dengzhou Prefecture, and they discovered the traces of the Japanese pirates.
These beasts are not human at all!
He just took a quick look with his spiritual sense and became so angry that he gritted his teeth.
A village on the seaside was ravaged by dozens of Japanese pirates. There were corpses everywhere, women's screams everywhere, and many houses were set on fire. The whole village was like purgatory.
No one knew what the gods in the underworld in the village were doing, and the statues in the temple had disappeared!
He couldn't help but snort coldly, then raised his hand and waved it, and hundreds of bean soldiers two or three meters tall appeared in the village.
"Beat these beasts to death."
Upon hearing this, hundreds of soldiers rushed forward and started to attack.
These Japanese pirates were not afraid at all when they saw the tall and mighty bean soldiers. They just swung their swords and chopped them down. Moreover, some of them could even swing their swords with a range of one or two feet.
But it was useless. What they held in their hands were not immortal weapons and could not cut through the skin of the bean soldiers at all.
Soon, most of the Japanese pirates were pinned to the ground and beaten beyond recognition.
Those few Japanese pirates who were able to swing swords actually left their companions behind and turned around and ran away, and they ran quite fast.
After a while, they ran to the beach by the sea.
At this time, there seemed to be some small wooden boards on the sea. The Japanese pirates flew all the way on the wooden boards and soon boarded a sailboat of about ten meters in length.
Then they started shouting desperately, asking the Japanese pirates on the boat to sail away quickly.
For Chen Jiu, it would be a piece of cake to deal with them. In his eyes, the speed of these Japanese pirates was no different from crawling. However, he gritted his teeth and endured it, and did not chase after them to kill them.
He let Fu Qingfeng fly high in the sky following these Japanese pirates into the vast ocean.
I don’t know what tricks these Japanese pirates used, but the big ship was sailing very fast in the sea, as if something was pushing it.
Chen Jiu used his spiritual sense to take a closer look and understood that there were faint fluctuations of water spirit behind the boat.
He did not try to stop it and just let it do what it wanted.
The faster these Japanese pirates run, the better. He just wants to follow them to see where their lair is.
He chased the sun from rising in the east to setting in the west, and finally saw a huge island appearing in the distance ahead. Just as he was about to reach the lair of the Japanese pirates, a powerful divine sense suddenly swept over.
True God!
He was shocked and looked up at the sky.
As a result, no giant eye appeared in the sky.
What does this mean?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly heard the sound of sea water stirring below.
Is the real God at the bottom of the sea?
He looked down and was stunned to see a monster over ten feet tall emerging from the sea.
This monster really looks weird. Looking at its head and neck, it looks just like the legendary Kuiniu. However, below its neck is the body of an octopus and a bunch of huge octopus legs!
To be honest, he had never seen such a hybrid monster.
He was in a daze when the monster yelled at him, "Middle-earth monk, what are you doing here?"
Oops, it’s not bird language.
Chen Jiu used his spiritual sense to take a closer look, and a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
You are just a mere demon king, yet you dare to yell at me. Are you relying on the power of others?
He looked up at the sky, squinted his eyes at the Japanese pirate ship sailing away, thought about it, and simply raised his hand and slapped it.
With a loud "bang", the monster was slapped out of the water by the giant palm he created, and smashed the Japanese pirate ship in the distance into pieces.
The monster was so frightened that it slipped into the sea and disappeared.
Chen Jiu looked up at the sky again.
I hit your dog, what are you going to do?
As a result, there was still no response in the sky.
He couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to transmit his voice: "Old Ding, what's going on? There was clearly a powerful spiritual sense sweeping over just now, but why didn't I see the true god appear or open his heavenly eye or anything like that?"
Honghuang Shending pondered, "You don't know the methods of the true gods yet. This may be a formation or barrier set up by the true gods. Those true gods should not have noticed this place yet, otherwise, they would not have sent a small demon king to question you."
The true God here is really powerful.
No wonder the Ming navy, once so powerful that it could show off its power in the West, had never come to Japan, which was so close to it.
Forget it, let’s not rush in rashly.
Chen Jiu thought about it and simply called out Luo Li, Xu Yanran and others.
The four people stood on the back of the huge bat soldier and looked down, and they could not help but be stunned.
Zhang Wanxia couldn't help but ask, "Ajiu, where is this?"
Chen Jiu pointed to the huge island in the distance and said, "Japan should be ahead."
Japan?
Xu Yanran couldn't help but be surprised and said: "You really came to Japan!"
Luo Li said worriedly, "Ah Jiu, I heard from Patriarch Hong Yun that there are several true gods in Japan. She also told us to keep an eye on you and told you not to come to Japan. Let's go back quickly."
I just want to prove that I was there.
I certainly wouldn't risk it at this moment.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back first. Or you should go back to the Immortal Mansion first, otherwise I'm afraid it will be dark before you can get back to Jiuling Mountain."
After that , he took the four girls into the Immortal Palace and said loudly, "Qingfeng, let's go back to Jiuling Mountain first."
His trip was not in vain. At least what Patriarch Hongyun said confirmed that there really are powerful gods in Japan.
He also discovered that these true gods seemed to be very unreasonable and even protected the evil Japanese pirates.
If he wants to destroy Japan, he must face these powerful true gods.
What should I do?
Unexpectedly, he had an unexpected gain on this trip.
At noon the next day, Duke of Wei Xu Wenbi hurried over.
As soon as they handed over the seal, waist badge and other items, Xu Yanran leaned over and whispered to Xu Wenbi.
Hearing this, Xu Wenbi could not help but said in surprise: "The prince is indeed trustworthy. I will go back and report to the emperor and ask for credit for him."
Why are you playing these fake games?
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "These are just a few minor matters. The Duke has come several times, but I haven't given him a proper lesson yet. How about we have a meal before we leave?"
Xu Wenbi looked at his niece, thought about it, and nodded, "Okay, then I'd better obey your command."
He thought that Chen Jiu was treating him warmly because she was his niece's granddaughter.
Unexpectedly, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Chen Jiu said solemnly: "Duke, there are several powerful true gods in Japan. This time, as soon as I ran over, I was swept by a powerful divine sense. They are obviously warning me!"
this!
Xu Wenbi was so frightened when he heard this that he almost dropped his chopsticks.
This kid won’t back down, right?
He was stunned for a while, then asked carefully: "What is the prince going to do?"
Chen Jiu still looked solemn and said: "Since I promised His Majesty, I will naturally destroy the Japanese pirates. As for those true gods, I will think of a way to test them and see if they are likely to really take action. If they really take action, it may be very troublesome. I hope they will not come in person, otherwise I will die on the battlefield."
You are so brave!
At this time, Xu Wenbi remembered that the emperor said that this kid had met the ancestor of the Zhao family.
You are not afraid of the true God, I admire you!
Xu Wenbi couldn't help but raise his glass and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are a true hero."
Your reaction is somewhat beyond my expectation.
He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to delay more time, but he didn't expect Xu Wenbi to say this.
Xu Wenbi doesn't seem like a bad person, so why would he help the tyrant?
Perhaps, we can try our best. The Xu family is a family of two dukes!
Chen Jiu looked at Xu Yanran, then raised his glass and said modestly: "Your Excellency, the Duke is too kind."
Xu Yanran looked at them with curiosity.
Didn’t you say that Chen Jiu was a big villain? How come he became a real hero?
