Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 11: Finding the bottom
When it was getting dark, Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian finally arrived outside Jiaolong City.
In a city belonging to the sect, flying directly into the city is a very reckless behavior, so the two of them landed slowly and prepared to enter the city through the city gate in an orderly manner.
Lu Qingshan put the peach wood sword into the storage ring, and also hid the small sword to store the sword she was using temporarily.
A sword of mid-grade spiritual weapon level.
For a sword cultivator who is building his foundation, if he has a natal sword of mid-grade spiritual quality as a starting point, it would be something he would have loved to have.
But in Zang Xiaojian's possession, such a spiritual weapon was actually just a sword that could be used temporarily.
The origin of Zang Xiaojian can be seen from this.
When entering the city, Lu Qingshan once again felt the cruelty and tyranny of the Sea God Sect.
Because at the city gate, there were city guards belonging to the Sea God Sect, who collected a hefty entrance fee from people entering the city.
This is unimaginable in the cities under the jurisdiction of Daxia.
But even with such tyranny, since it is the only city in the entire Jiaolong Island, the city is still crowded with people, and there are many shops on both sides of the road. Compared with the county town of Daxia, its prosperity is not inferior at all.
This is monopoly.
…
After entering the city, Zang Xiaojian's big eyes rolled around, scanning the environment in the city, and asked: "Where are we going next?"
"Why don't you go eat first? Aren't you hungry after traveling for so long?!" The King of Western Rat was the first to come forward and make a suggestion. He shook his head and said coquettishly, "As the saying goes, food and sex are the essence of human nature..."
Zang Xiaojian couldn't help laughing, and with a smile in his eyes, he gave the Western Rat King a thumbs up, "This book bag is really good!"
After receiving Zang Xiaojian's praise, the King of Western Rat became even more proud, and the red mane on his head was almost standing up.
"Let's do our business first and see if we can find any traces of that underground force." Lu Qingshan chose to ignore the words of the King of Western Rat.
…
This is a square located in the center and the most prosperous place of Jiaolong City.
“Isn’t this too grand?” The King of Western Rats exclaimed as he arrived here.
Because in the center of the square stands a huge black iron dragon statue, a hundred feet tall, cast from molten iron, the entire body is dark black, and flickers with black light.
The four claws of the dragon are sharp, revealing a hint of coldness. There are two very short horns on the head of the dragon, and there are extremely ferocious bulges above the eyes and eyebrows.
This is the dragon demon king who rules the Poseidon Islands, the so-called "Poseidon".
Lu Qingshan looked up at the black iron dragon statue that was full of ferocity for a long time.
"This is where the sacrificial ceremony will be held. The monks of the Sea God Sect will sacrifice a boy in front of the dragon statue to show their respect for the Sea God." Zang Xiaojian said.
"Lu Qingshan, aren't you looking for that underground force? Why are you here?" The King of Western Rats asked in confusion.
"Find out the situation." Lu Qingshan replied.
"Find out the bottom line?" The King of Western Rat became even more confused.
Lu Qingshan stopped looking at the dragon statue and looked around, explaining, "If you have an enemy, you will always keep an eye on him."
"This is a subconscious behavior of human beings, and it will not change no matter what."
The King of Western Rat was confused, and his little head obviously couldn't understand what Lu Qingshan meant.
“So if there really is an underground force that wants to overthrow the Sea God Sect, then even if they don’t plan to attack the sacrificial ceremony presided over by the Sea God Sect that has caused public resentment, they will definitely secretly come to the scene to watch the ceremony on the day of the sacrifice!” Zang Xiaojian instantly understood the meaning of Lu Qingshan’s words.
"Yes, and if it's just one individual, he might be able to suppress the urge to go to the scene in person, but if it's a huge force with so many people, it's impossible to prohibit everyone from going to the sacrificial ceremony." Lu Qingshan nodded and added.
After carefully observing the surrounding buildings, Lu Qingshan finally fixed his eyes on a four-story restaurant at the corner and said to the Western Rat King, "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat!"
The King of Western Rat was stunned. He could not keep up with Lu Qingshan's jumping rhythm, but when he heard that it was time to eat, he didn't care about anything else.
…
There was a private room on the fourth floor of the restaurant, with the table littered with cups and plates.
However, this time Zang Xiaojian was not as heartless as the King of the Rat West. Instead, he looked out the window and said softly, "Although the location of this restaurant is remote, the view from the rooftop can give you a panoramic view of the entire square. However, because it is in a corner, it will not be conspicuous."
——For the monks of the underground forces, this kind of place is undoubtedly one of the most suitable places to observe the sacrificial ceremony on the day of the sacrificial ceremony.
The King of Western Rat looked up at the two of them. He felt that there was some deep meaning in their conversation, but he couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and concentrated on eating again.
Zang Xiaojian showed a thoughtful expression, "And even if they are not here at that time, but mixed in with the crowd watching the sacrificial ceremony in the square, from this perspective, it is also the most convenient place to observe them."
Working with smart people will undoubtedly save you a lot of trouble. Lu Qingshan looked at Zang Xiaojian with approval and nodded, "Not bad."
Lu Qingshan called the waiter, handed him a heavy piece of silver, and reserved a table on the fourth floor on the day of the sacrificial ceremony.
…
For the next three days, Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian wandered around the city, hanging out in various restaurants, and learned a lot of information and anecdotes.
For example, the most talented patriarch of the Longquan Mo family in a thousand years suddenly became addicted to alcohol a hundred years ago. He was addicted to alcohol and could not enjoy life without it.
There are also rumors about the Jiaolong clan. It is said that their king has been lying dormant for a thousand years, and his fifth claw is about to transform.
The Jiaolong clan is just the self-name of the Jiao clan. In reality, if one does not have five claws, he is not considered a dragon.
A Jiao has four claws and only when the fifth claw emerges can it be truly called a Jiao dragon.
The lifespan of the demon race is already extremely long, and once the dragon demon king successfully grows a fifth claw, his lifespan will be extended even further. The people on the Poseidon Islands will then truly never have peace.
There is also a crater that can even swallow cultivators. It was named Lingyuan by the people on the island and is located fifty miles north of Jiaolong City.
When it erupts and sends up mist all over the sky, one can even see a gorgeous rainbow in Jiaolong City, which is a rare and unique sight.
But the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. No bird is allowed to enter above Lingyuan. Once you get close to the sky above Lingyuan, you will be affected by the enormous suction force emitted by Lingyuan.
And over the past thousands of years, there has never been any report of anyone who fell into the Spirit Abyss and escaped from it safely.
Through many rumors, whether true or false, Lu Qingshan finally had a systematic understanding of the situation on this island.
