Chapter 471 Get on the Ship
Time turned again, and another month passed.
This month Zheng Xie lived very easily, not only because he had delicious food every day, but also because he had completely integrated into the life of the people in the Emperor Demon Realm, and even relied on his own super memory ability and learning ability. , learned some local dialects here, if you chat with him, even if you chat for a long time, you can't find his difference.
But one thing is more deadly, that is his origin, if the people of Haidong Island dig deeper, they will find that he is not from this small island, and Zheng Xie can only discuss this with Xu Da.
Because Xu Da also knows that if Zheng Xie wants to enter Haidong Island, one of the [-] islands of Tianzong, he must have the identity of a native of the Emperor's Demon Realm, otherwise Zheng Xie will not be able to pass the assessment at all, so Xu Da seems to be secretly He bought the owner of the island with money, and let the owner add the name Zheng Xie to the birth list of the people on the island, and also copied his life experience.
Anyway, the death of both parents is standard, and then he was taken away when he was young, and he didn’t return to this hometown until recently. The real situation, so in Zheng Xie's guess, as long as there are no major accidents, he will definitely not be discovered.
What's more, he didn't believe that the people from Haidong Island would be so dedicated, checking and assessing mortals one by one, just like the powerful forces in the Profound Sky Realm would not care about mortals, the forces in the Emperor Demon Realm would definitely not pay attention This is a sense of superiority, just as elites look down on ordinary people, the former disdains the latter's life experience.
What surprised Zheng Xie was that until the day when the people from Haidong Island were about to arrive, he was the only one standing on the shore on this island. Although he knew that there were very few young people on this island, he also It's not like there is no one, which means that there are no young people on this island who want to participate in the assessment.
Originally, Zheng Xie thought it was a matter of honoring his ancestors, but he didn't expect that everything had changed silently, but Zheng Xie also knew the reason later.
Because since people on this island participated in the assessment, basically no one has returned, and there has been no news, and no matter how stupid the residents on the island are, they will guess something under the influence of time, so if this Usually they still let their children take part in this terrible assessment, I am afraid there is only one possibility, that child is not their own.
As I said before, this Emperor Demon Realm looks like a sea at first glance, and all the land is like islands, but in fact, this is not a sea, and it does not have any characteristics that belong to the sea. If you want to generalize , It can only be said that this is a huge lake, surrounded by many small lakes and land, and all people live in this big lake.
So the people who came to pick up Sun Yan for the assessment naturally came from the distance of this great lake, driving slowly.
No one came to send Zheng Xie off this day, including Xu Da and his wife. It was not that they were ungrateful, but that Zheng Xie asked for it. On the one hand, because he didn't want other people to be involved, he could only choose one person.
Today is not a cloudy day, the sun is shining and the wind is beautiful. By the vast lake, the breeze is blowing, which seems to give people a sense of comfort. Because the island is too small, there is only one pier. At this moment, Zheng Xie was standing at the pier, quietly looking into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the person who should come.
And this wait was from Chenshi to noon. Although the waiting time was a bit long, Zheng Xie didn't care. You can only come early so as not to miss the boat.
Fortunately, Zheng Xie didn't wait a day, and at dusk and sunset, a ship finally appeared in Zheng Xie's eyes.
This boat is very large, about 150 meters long, about 25 meters wide at the middle, and about 40 meters high. If you count the sails, it is almost [-] meters. When it is driving, the surface of the lake is rippling.
Look carefully, there is a mighty dragon on the bow, and several phoenixes are carved on the body of the ship. The workmanship of the two is extremely exquisite, and people can see its extraordinary at a glance. Only the body of the ship is a bit black. , making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
It's just that no matter how tall this ship is, Zheng Xie is indifferent. After all, this ship is still much inferior to the top flying ship of Daxuanmen. ?
Rather quickly, a middle-aged man dressed in black and with a stern face came down from the boat. As soon as this man came out, he first looked at Zheng Xie, then looked around, and found that Zheng Xie was the only one. Frowning, he asked, "Where are the others?"
Zheng Xie's expression remained unchanged, and with the posture of a mortal, he cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "According to the gods and people, I am the only person participating in the assessment this time, because the people on the island are worried about their children coming back, so..."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man was stunned. Although Zheng Xie didn't finish his words, the middle-aged man also understood. He snorted coldly and said, "A small place is indestructible. If you don't have the courage to break through, How can anyone succeed in this kind of place?!"
Facing the disdainful words of the middle-aged man towards the islander, Zheng Xie ignored it and still quietly clasped his hands. But at this time, the middle-aged man took a deep look at Zheng Xie, and then asked a little strangely. : "Then your parents are very appreciative!"
Hearing this, Zheng Xie's eyes drifted away, showing a trace of helplessness and grief, and he replied again: "I am an orphan."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, but he also understood, his eyes moved, and he said: "So, I'm the only one left anyway, so I don't have any nostalgia for this small island?" ?”
"Yes! Rather than being in this sad place, I might as well leave here." Zheng Xie replied seriously, with a slight tremor in his tone.
Regarding Zheng Xie's acting skills, no one has ever doubted it, including Liu Xin, whose acting skills are similar to his. Knowing that this person's cultivation is only at the early stage of the Determination Realm, this guy really can't see anything in front of him who is half-step into the Heavenly Realm.
The fact is the same, after some questioning, the middle-aged man lost his patience, and after confirming that no one was coming, he took Zheng Xie on board and left the island, but after boarding the boat, Zheng Xie Xie looked back at the small island where he had lived for three or four months, and sighed slightly in his heart.
To be honest, Zheng Xie knows that his trip is very dangerous. Although he has a heavenly cloth on his body to hide it, practitioners below the spiritual realm cannot detect his aura, but there are always accidents in the world, so he doesn't know what he will do in the future. Whether he can come back, let alone whether he can return to Huangnu Valley in the future.
At some point, he developed a habit of treating every departure as the last, and keeping the place where he left firmly in his heart, perhaps because he has experienced too many lives and deaths along the way, I don't know which time is my real end, so since the future is unknown, I can only remember the past.
On the deck, the middle-aged man didn't care about Zheng Xie's expression, but he regarded the emotion expressed by Zheng Xie as reluctance, and for him, he had seen this kind of reluctance many times. So he didn't have any feelings, and he didn't stop Zheng Xie.
On the other hand, Xu Da and the two who secretly watched Zheng Xie leave on the island also had tangled and complicated expressions.
"Oh! I really don't know whether what we did was right or wrong." Xu Da sighed,
"Things have already happened, and there is no use blaming ourselves. We can only trust him." Xu Da's wife said.
"Do you believe him? Yes! In fact, from the first time I saw him, I felt that he was a little different from ordinary people, but the problem is that I can't tell where the difference is? Maybe it's an illusion. ! But I am still willing to believe him." Xu Da murmured, his eyes became firm.
……
Besides, on Zheng Xie's side, the middle-aged man waited for Zheng Xie to finish remembering, and then brought Zheng Xie to a hall in the ship, and in this hall, there were still eleven people, but this matter Zheng Xie Xie already knew it from the moment he boarded the boat.
After all, his mysterious meaning is not detectable by ordinary people, and he also saw that among the eleven people, three of them, like the middle-aged man, are the ushers of the arrival of Haidong Island. Judging from the contemptuous eyes of these three people and the slightly raised corners of their mouths, they should not be friendly to middle-aged men.
It's just that the middle-aged man didn't care about it, he just sat at a small table with a window with Zheng Xie, looked at the water scenery outside through the window, and became completely silent.
At this moment, Zheng Xie also looked around the situation in the ship, as if he vaguely understood something.
Counting Zheng Xie and the middle-aged man in the cabin, there are thirteen people in total, four of them are guides from Haidong Island, and the remaining nine are young people recruited from various islands to participate in the assessment. Young people don't concentrate on everything, but stand beside each guide separately, presumably because each guide has their own responsibilities!
"If my guess is correct, the number of people they receive should be related to their own situation. It can be seen that the more people they receive, the better their situation, and thus their status here The higher it is, the lower it is…”
"Oh! So that's the case. Could it be that this guy was so angry when he picked me up." At this moment, Zheng Xie secretly laughed.
But at this moment, one of the four people, an ugly-looking, slightly hunchbacked old man in brocade clothes, walked towards the middle-aged man very abruptly, and he walked slowly, but he looked at him lightly. The look of smiling seems to be a bit malicious.
