Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 326 Seaside
The two major sects attacked back then and completely destroyed the Sea King Hall. Except for each branch hall, all the sources of resources were also completely destroyed. Xia He marched in the territory, but he couldn't find a place to replenish the spirit stones. It is no wonder that the two sects The people drove to the edge of the East China Sea and stopped, because they knew that the vast East China Sea was already dead.

Before Xiahe set off, he carefully counted the belongings of the war department, and sent some resources from the sect before he opened up. Although less is better than nothing, the most important thing is that Xiahe and Gongyang Qianruo have spent decades guarding fishing towns and have accumulated a huge amount of resources. Even if they support the Seventeenth War Department with more than 500 people, it will be effortless, so walking in the deserted East China Sea, Xia He's men don't have to worry about supplies.

The East China Sea is just a general name, used to refer to the area near the sea in the east. The destination of Xiahe's trip is the east coast, which is the edge of the East China Sea that is closest to the sea.

Xia He led his men through the thorns and thorns, rushed all the way to the edge of the East China Sea, and saw the dreamlike waters, the sea was as blue as a jewel, calm and waveless, and the end of the land under his feet was the sea, but the sea had no end. Looking around, the sky was green , The sea is deep blue, the endless sky and the endless sea stretch into the distance, sticking out of this piece of heaven and earth, Xia He feels that he has suddenly become small.

The fresh sea breeze has a slight fishy smell, and the cries of seabirds can be heard from time to time. Suddenly, a few light boats float over the sea. The fishermen on the light boats stretch out their long harpoons, stabbing them into the water continuously, exciting There was a pearl-like spray, and then there was a cheer. There was a huge white fish on the harpoon. The white fish kept wagging its tail, but it could not escape the end of entering the fish basket.

The scenery in front of him was so peaceful, Xia He felt an intoxicating peaceful atmosphere, and a voice beside him reminded, "Minister, the situation is wrong, the East China Sea has been deserted for a long time, how could there be ordinary fishermen haunting it?"

Xia He looked back, and the person who reminded him was Gu Tianwei, knowing that he was mature and prudent, Xia He said, "It's not always true. Although we have traveled all the way, although the spirit stones and medicines have disappeared, the land here is fertile and the products are rich, which is suitable for ordinary people to live in. This fisherman is probably a local resident, and it has been a hundred years since the Palace of the Sea King died, and the East China Sea is close to overseas, so it is not uncommon for people to migrate here."

Then Xia He said, "Your worry is not unreasonable, go and catch those fishermen and ask them about the situation in the East China Sea."

Gu Tianwei took the order and flew away from the land with a team of soldiers, flew a few times on the sea surface, and arrived at the top of the fishing boat. The scared fishermen couldn't hold their harpoons steadily, and they were about to kneel down and beg for mercy , Gu Tianwei waved his hand, and a gust of wind restrained them so that they couldn't move, even Gu Tianwei carried them to the shore with one hand.

A few fishermen were so frightened that they fell to the seashore and immediately knelt down on the soft sand, begging for mercy hastily. Xia He coughed lightly, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. They huddled together like quails and shivered.

Seeing the fearful faces of the few people, Xia He thought it was funny, and said, "Okay, answer my questions obediently, and I won't kill you."

The fishermen immediately felt relieved, and looked at Xia He anxiously, waiting for him to ask questions.

Xia He asked, "Where do you live?"

"Reporting to Master Immortal Cultivator, we live in a fishing village not far from here. We are all poor men who fish for a living. There is really nothing we can do to honor Your Excellency."

Gu Tianwei held up a fisherman and asked sternly, "You little mortal, how do you know our identities? You must have met other immortal cultivators before, right? Tell me, are you a spy of the Sea King Palace? "

The fisherman was lifted high into the air, danced and cried, and begged for mercy loudly, "My lord, the immortal cultivator, please forgive me. I really don't mean to offend you. The ancestor of the villain was also an overseas immortal cultivator. Because of the failure in the battle, he brought the people with him." Trapped here, we unworthy descendants cannot inherit the last wish of our ancestors, we cannot cultivate immortals, we can only gradually degenerate into mortals, and as for the Sea King Palace, we have never even heard of it, let alone have anything to do with it."

Xia He nodded to Gu Tianwei, motioned to Gu Tianwei to put him down, only to hear a plop, the fisherman fell to the ground and smashed a big hole in the soft sand, Xia He was a little helpless when he saw it, and his subordinates didn't care about anything. Well, it is too contemptuous of mortals. Xia He also cultivated from a mortal to a cultivator. He doesn't have the feeling that most cultivators are superior, but he can't change the eyes of the people around him.

The fisherman who fell to the ground was hit badly, apparently speechless, Xia He turned to the other one, "You have your own village, and you usually live by fishing, there must be a place where you can exchange rice noodles and daily necessities, say, How many people are there on this coast?"

The fisherman said fearfully, "My lord, there are small fish villages on the shore, and there are scattered towns near the land. The residents there farm and weave, and often exchange seafood with us. The exact number of people is unknown. clear."

Xia He nodded. These fishermen should be fine. At this time, Yin Wenxiu walked to Xia He and whispered to Xia He, "Minister, the sect often sends people to the East Sea to hunt sea monsters. Ask these people if they have seen them."

There are many precious spiritual materials produced in the East China Sea, which are not available on land. For example, a monster called a goby, after being tempered with real fire, it will get a very sticky fish glue, which can bond iron and wood together. Refined steel is an indispensable material in mechanism techniques, so the shops under the name of Sifang Xianzong send a large number of people out to sea every year to hunt for tailless goby.

Xia He asked casually, "When you were fishing, did you meet a cultivator?"

The fisherman said fearfully, "I have seen it, I have seen it. When I was a child, I went out to sea with my father. I once saw an immortal cultivator fighting a sea monster. It was really powerful. The mountain-like sea monster was easily killed. They were all sunk, and my father's ship escaped by being far away."

Xia He was sure that the fishermen were all right, and shouted to them, "Get lost."

Xia He's tone was unceremonious, but to the ears of several fishermen, it was as if he had received amnesty. Several ragged fishermen hurriedly kowtowed to Xia He several times, not even caring about the fish baskets, and exchanged views. He ran away with help.

Looking at the scattered fishing boats on the sea, Xia He knew that these were the tools for the fishermen to make a living, and they were also their greatest wealth. He waved his hand towards the sea, and the sea water formed dozens of ropes, bound the fishing boats, and sent them to the shore safely. On the other side, it was falling in front of several fishermen, "Take your boat away!"

A few fishermen left gratefully, and they dragged the fishing boat, leaving crooked marks on the sandy shore.

Looking at the sea in the distance, Xia He couldn't help sighing, "The scene in front of me is like the world is divided into two halves. Generally, it is the land, and half is sea water. The sea is vast and boundless. If the Haiwang Palace comes from the sea, it must be attacked from all directions. , how can we resist it?"

Gu Tianwei persuaded, "Minister, this subordinate has something to say, do you know if it should be said or not?"

Xia He glanced at him, "Let's talk and listen."

Gu Tianwei calmed down, and continued, "Minister, this subordinate doesn't know what conflict happened between you and Mr. Zhan, so that he deliberately made things difficult for him and sent you to this dangerous place. You must know that once the Sea King Hall comes The coastline bears the brunt of the attack, if the head of the war department wants to block them on the shore, it is impossible to send only us."

Xia He thought that Gu Tianwei was an old man in the war department after all, and he knew the way between the war department very well. He couldn't hide his situation from him, and the other party was also his confidant right now, so he immediately told Gu Tianwei briefly It ended the conflict with Yu Changsheng that day.

After hearing this, Gu Tianwei suddenly realized, and said excitedly, "Minister, you are really..." Then he didn't continue, Xia He guessed that it was something like blame.

Gu Tianwei sternly continued, "Minister, you have offended Yu Changsheng and Zhan Pozhen all at once. The Two Cities Alliance can't tolerate you anymore. No wonder the Ministry of War mainly assigned you to this place. I'm afraid it's also a plan to keep out of sight."

Xia He said coldly, "He wants me to be cannon fodder for the Seventeenth War Department to consume the power of the Sea King Hall for the Two Cities Alliance. I, Xia He, am not a pawn to be manipulated. He wants me to die, but I will not let him do so. "

Gu Tianwei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Minister, you have joined the war department not long ago, and the relationship between the war department is still unclear. Although the war department leader is powerful now, he can't control the power of life and death. He is just the leader of the alliance. The leader, the major ministers are franchisees, not his subordinates. Even if you offend him, he can only send you to the East China Sea instead of killing you directly, so the ministers should not worry The head of the war department will attack you directly, and you don't even need to strictly obey his orders."

Xia He's heart moved, and he asked, "You mean..."

Gu Tianwei looked Xia He's questioning eyes squarely, and nodded firmly, "Minister, my subordinates have followed Wu Suixing for many years, and are used to the calculations between the ministries. Surviving on the border, apart from dealing with the fortress of civil engineering. The enemies you see, you have to beware of your fellow disciples around you. These are the invisible enemies, the black hands hiding in the dark. If you don’t pay attention, you will be wiped out by the plotting gods. Therefore, the war department is not close and friendly. It’s about you fighting over each other and doing everything you can to grow yourself.”

Hearing Gu Tianwei's words, Xia He's heart suddenly became clear. He was still too rigid about superiority and inferiority. What Gu Tianwei said was correct. Zhan Pozhen was the leader, and he, Xia He, was also the leader. Why should Zhan Po Is it because he has Wen Gongdao behind him, but Xia He also has the old man Mojing behind him, and they are equal in strength and power. Xia He really can't think of anything to be afraid of.

After understanding this point, Xia He's mood brightened instantly. He didn't care about stationing at the East Sea, or the movement of the Sword Power Sea King Palace. What Xia He had to do now was to keep his 2000-strong war department as safe as possible.
