Chapter 564: Such a Strong Offensive
"Lin, Lin Zhenren? May I ask if the immortal is the legendary Lin Zhenren?" A ship merchant walked over and asked carefully.
Lin Jue looked at them without answering, but asked instead:
"Where are you all from?"
This could also be considered a side admission.
Suddenly, everyone swarmed over.
"We were originally people from the coast of Cangzhou and Langzhou in Great Yu. We went out to run ships and were accidentally rolled here by this Yaoguai King... Yaoguai, making us act as craftsmen to build some palace towers for it that were the same as those in the sky."
Many ship merchants seemed to have accumulated a belly of fear and grievances, which had been suppressed all along. Now that they saw an immortal who spoke the same language as them, and who was very likely the Lin Zhenren they had heard of since childhood, and the Yaoguai that harmed them had also been removed, they all vented it out:
"Oh my, we are just ship merchants, how would we know how to build a palace? We could only discuss how to deal with it, dragging out the time. If it found out something was wrong, we probably wouldn't be able to escape death."
"How many people did you have originally?"
"Scattered in several batches, about forty."
"How many are left now?"
"About twenty left."
"How did the others die?"
"Some were unwilling to build the palace for it and were eaten alive; some were scared to death; some came here, couldn't eat well or dress warmly, were unacclimatized, and died as soon as they got sick. And sometimes we didn't satisfy it when building the palace, making it notice that we were dragging out the time, or feeling that we were lazy, so it just ate two people at random."
The ship merchant craftsmen said, all covering their faces and weeping.
Someone hurriedly knelt on the ground again:
"Lin Zhenren! After we were captured, we also prayed to you, please take us back!"
"I am not a divine spirit, I don't eat incense, and I can't hear people's prayers."
Lin Jue just wanted to say that they should pray to Emperor Yu Jian and Emperor Zi Xu instead, but after thinking about it, he let it go—they were southerners, and the main divine spirit they worshipped was Emperor Yu Jian, and Emperor Zi Xu was the Emperor of Heaven. For people who had walked into a desperate situation, they should have prayed to all the divine spirits they could think of.
It was just that for various reasons, no one responded.
For example, this place was too far from the land, and Emperor Yu Jian might not necessarily have this heart. Emperor Zi Xu definitely had this heart, but he was further away, and at this time their energy was all on the Jiazi Demon Clearing. Here, the demons cleared were the Yaoguai demons within Great Yu in the land. Although there were Great Yu people here, there were only a few dozen of them, so it was normal not to be able to take care of them.
So Lin Jue just asked: "Is your ship still there?"
"Long gone..."
"In order to cut off our heart to leave, that Yaoguai destroyed and sank all the ships after rolling us here."
"It did say that after the palace was built, it would send us back and give us gold, silver, and treasures. But not to mention that we couldn't build the palace at all, just by the fact that it ate so many people, and even many giants on this island were eaten by it, it was impossible to let us go back."
"Even if there were ships, this is a boundless sea, we don't know the direction, and we don't know how far it is from the land, so it's impossible to sail back..."
"Please, Zhenren, use your immortal arts to send us home!"
"We will definitely use our whole lives to support Zhenren!"
Everyone looked at Lin Jue, and also looked around at Third Shixiong and Junior Xiao Shimei behind him.
"Don't look at me, how would I have this ability?" Third Shixiong said, "Better ask Lin Zhenren."
"Everyone, rest assured, you will sleep for a while, and when you wake up, you will be back on the shore." Lin Jue said, "Asking if your ship is still there was just to bring it back for you together."
Everyone was overjoyed, even feeling that they couldn't believe it, as if they were dreaming.
"Thank you, Zhenren!"
"Thank you, Zhenren!"
"Are there any others?"
"They are all here."
"That's good." Lin Jue beckoned to the distance and said at the same time, "Remember, after going back, there is no need to worship me."
The giant crabs one zhang tall, the shrimp warriors over one zhang tall, and the fish Yaoguai with various appearances were still fighting, and they were evenly matched, fighting inextricably.
Six of the seven foxes were fascinated, and only one turned its head to look over.
Then I saw that fox jump lightly, its posture light and graceful, and it jumped over from the long sky.
But before it landed, Cai Li beside the Junior Xiao Shimei jumped over first and suddenly opened its mouth to spit.
"Whoosh..."
A mouthful of smoke drifted out.
As soon as everyone smelled the smoke, they immediately fell into a deep sleep.
"I'll do it."
The Junior Xiao Shimei was afraid that Shixiong's thundercloud would be too fast, throwing them off the cloud and falling to their deaths in the sea, so she reached out and split a piece of her colorful cloud.
With another lift of her hand, many ship merchants flew up one after another and landed on the colorful cloud.
"Chen Niu, Chen Niu."
"I am Chen Niu!"
A little ghost appeared out of thin air.
"Take the colorful cloud and send them back to the city on the coast of Cangzhou."
Why have I been leading the way continuously lately?
Chen Niu hid the joy in his heart, his face remained serious, and he immediately turned his head to look at the colorful cloud:
"Go this way!"
The colorful cloud rose slowly and leisurely into the sky, flying towards the distance.
Lin Jue looked at the group of sea Yaoguai still fighting.
The thundercloud immediately floated above them.
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt with countless branches descended, almost appearing purple-red. Each branch connected to the ground and also connected to a sea Yaoguai.
In an instant, many sea Yaoguai all fell stiffly to the ground.
Swish! The fox turned its head to look at Lin Jue.
"Don't tease others at will, and don't take pleasure in it, even if they are heinous villains." Lin Jue patted its head, "Change back quickly."
"Isn't it good to have more foxes?"
"It's very noisy."
"You are the one who is very noisy!"
Seven foxes turned their heads at the same time and said in unison.
Although the fox said so, it jumped towards the middle.
Six of the foxes drilled into the body of one fox.
Lin Jue thought that the fox that ran to his side would be the main body, but unexpectedly, it was another fox that couldn't see any abnormality at all that was the main body.
This also shows Fuyao's attainments in the clone technique—
It seems to be more suitable for this spell than the Queen Mother of the West, and it is also naturally better at disguising and acting. The clones it creates are not only very close to the main body in strength, but also completely indistinguishable. Even Lin Jue, who spends his days with the fox, talked to it for a long time, and couldn't tell the main body from the clones.
At this time, Third Shixiong's voice came from the side:
"Two Zhenren have good skills! It makes me, the Shixiong, a bit envious, jealous, and ashamed."
"If Shixiong focused on cultivation, you would also have such skills. It's just that Shixiong's heart and life are elsewhere." Lin Jue said, and pretended to be puzzled, hitting back with a sentence, "Why don't I see Princess Hua? Could it be that in these decades, the things Shixiong promised Princess Hua back then have been completed, and you have separated, and Third Shixiong is wandering freely alone?"
The Junior Xiao Shimei couldn't help but freeze her expression just by listening from the side.
Such a strong offensive!
"Here."
Third Shixiong awkwardly reached into his bosom and took out the soul-nourishing pearl.
"Why does Shixiong put Princess Hua in his bosom? Even if you are not afraid of men and women not touching each other, you are not afraid of suffocating Princess Hua." Lin Jue frowned.
The Junior Xiao Shimei held her breath and listened attentively.
A white smoke drifted out, landed on the ground, and turned into a woman in red.
The woman in red smiled slightly and bowed to them.
The Shixiong and Xiao Shimei both returned the salute immediately. Even the fox and Cai Li beside them, seeing this, also returned a salute in a decent manner, but they didn't turn into human form, so it was inevitably a bit funny.
"So Princess Hua is still here. It seems that the world is truly vast, especially overseas. After so many years, I haven't finished walking through it." Lin Jue nodded repeatedly, "That's good too. My Shixiong is very wandering, he really should have someone to tie him up, otherwise, I wouldn't know when he died outside."
Third Shixiong wanted to argue, but stopped talking.
Princess Hua smiled and said:
"This person's face is sometimes thick and sometimes thin, so don't wash him anymore."
"Haha!" Lin Jue laughed, then reached into his bag and took out two Yuanqiu fruits, "These are Yuanqiu fruits, which I planted myself. This is the first time they have borne fruit this year, and it is the first batch to mature. Because of their unique taste and the effect of prolonging life, I specially brought them for Shixiong and Princess Hua to taste."
"Immortal Tree? Yuanqiu Fruit?"
"Good stuff! I'm blessed by Shidi again."
The two were not polite and took the fruits.
Third Shixiong took a deep sniff and couldn't help but say:
"I have heard of this thing while wandering the rivers and lakes all these years, but I haven't found it yet. I didn't expect that Shidi had already planted it! I said long ago that Shidi should be the temple master!"
"You'd better shut up." Princess Hua said, "You'll make yourself blush again later."
"You woman, how can you be so rude?"
"Then you continue."
The way these two get along is interesting.
Lin Jue and the Junior Xiao Shimei couldn't help but look at each other.
Recalling the past, whether it was the first meeting in the wilderness or the scene when Third Shixiong brought Princess Hua back for the first time, it had been many years ago. ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
Lin Jue and his junior sister could not help but look at each other.
Looking back on those years, whether it was their first meeting in the wilderness or the scene of their third senior brother bringing Princess Hua back for the first time, it had already been many years ago.
