Chapter 5341 Patronus

Ji Mo De Wu Zhe
"A hundred years ago, some cultivators came to Xuanyuan Realm to look for opportunities. After searching for a long time without any results, they went on a killing spree, killing many ordinary people to vent their anger..."
When the man said this, there was a bit of anger in his eyes, and his rowing movements slowed down a lot.
"If you can't find a chance, just kill ordinary people to vent your anger?"
Xiao Chen was also a little angry.
"Yes, it is said that hundreds of people were killed that year..."
The man nodded.
"Just when the people in the town were panicking, all those cultivators who killed indiscriminately were killed overnight."
"Killed by who?"
Wang Pingbei's eyes widened.
"Patron saint."
The man replied.
"These practitioners are a group of more than a dozen... overnight, none of them survived, and all the corpses were hung on the archway."
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei looked at each other, he was a ruthless person, killed him, and then hung him up?
This is obviously to deter the practitioners in Xuanyuan Town and tell them not to go too far.
"and after?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Later, the forces behind those cultivators sent people over again, saying they wanted to avenge them... As a result, they all died in Xuanyuan Town."
The man said slowly.
"Since then, there has been a saying of 'Guardian God'... Cultivators don't dare to kill people in the town at will."
"..."
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei were silent, it seems that this 'Guardian' is very powerful, killing them made the forces behind them terrified and had to give up revenge.
"Then what, two masters, I don't mean anything else."
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the man hurriedly explained.
"Nothing, good kill."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The indiscriminate killing of innocent people should end up like this...Although I am a cultivator, if I meet such a person, I will do it."
"Well, it's good that you don't get angry."
The man breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Xiao Chen would take the position of a cultivator and be furious because of his words, then he would be in danger.
"Tell me again, after this time, practitioners dare not kill innocent people anymore?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Well, after this time, practitioners have restrained a lot, and various legends have appeared."
The man nodded.
"Some people say that Emperor Xuanyuan is alive in the sky, guarding this place; others say that Emperor Xuanyuan is still alive, in the sea of emperors; others say that Emperor Xuanyuan's subordinates are always guarding here... Anyway, everyone There are all kinds of sayings."
"Since you don't dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately, why do you still..."
What did Wang Pingbei think of and asked.
"Don't dare to kill indiscriminately, it doesn't mean there is no one."
The man smiled wryly.
"It's just that it's not that bad...Isn't it normal for a few people to die when they go out to sea?"
"Ok."
Wang Pingbei nodded.
"But speaking of it, a few days after my elder brother died, someone found two corpses on the beach... Some people said that they were the practitioners who went to sea with my elder brother."
The man gritted his teeth.
"I didn't really believe in the patron saints before, but after this incident, I believe it... Although I'm not sure, my brother was killed by them, but there is a high probability that they did, and then they died again."
"..."
Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei looked at each other, died too?
"Were they killed?"
Xiao Chen looked at the man and asked.
"Drown."
The man shook his head.
"But no matter what, how could the two practitioners drown properly? So I still believe that it was the patron saint who took action and avenged my brother."
"really."
Xiao Chen nodded, the possibility of a practitioner drowning for no reason is too small.
Immediately afterwards, he thought of something, the boatman and Zhang Tiejiang were related... Then, this time, could it be that Zhang Tiejiang took action?Blacksmith Zhang is suspected of being a 'guardian'. If he made the move, then everything makes sense.
"I firmly believe in the existence of the patron saint, whether it is Emperor Xuanyuan or whoever, is guarding this land."
The man's expression became respectful and pious.
"The patron saint is our great benefactor."
"What about the cultivators who come here? Most of them don't know the legend of the 'Guardian God', right?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"It's true that there have been fewer mentions in recent years, but the big forces of all parties will also have some binding force, so generally nothing will happen."
The man nodded.
"After all, the forces of all parties want to get great opportunities, and ordinary people like us are needed. Otherwise, what should we do in daily life?"
"Hehe, indeed, no matter what the purpose is, you are indispensable."
Xiao Chen smiled, even if they were cattle and horses, they couldn't be killed at will... If they were killed, where would the cattle and horses serve them?
He handed over the gold particles, the man hesitated, took it, and kept thanking him.
"Is it possible that someone couldn't stand it anymore and killed them?"
Suddenly, Wang Pingbei asked.
"Who will kill for us..."
The man shook his head, he still firmly believed in the existence of the patron saint.
This is also the spiritual belief and sustenance of their generation.
Wang Pingbei still wanted to say something, but Xiao Chen shook his head to stop him from continuing.
It is a good thing to have this kind of spiritual belief and sustenance.
Otherwise, why let a group of sheep live surrounded by wolves?
What's more, the bearded man said that there is a guardian, so there is a high probability that there is.
"Did Blacksmith Zhang ever leave Xuanyuan Town in these years?"
Xiao Chen turned the topic back to Blacksmith Zhang.
"No, right? Not sure, he rarely goes out, so it's not clear whether he has ever left."
The man shook his head, hesitating.
"You seem to be very interested in Blacksmith Zhang...?"
"Hehe, don't think too much, I bought him a sword and met him once, so I want to know more about him."
Xiao Chen explained with a smile.
"Oh, so that's what it is."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Then what do you want to know, just ask me... I know that he forged a sword in a year and sold Shopkeeper Zhao."
"Well, I bought it and visited him again. I also thought he was quite interesting, so I asked one more question. I didn't mean any harm."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You look like a kind person, how could you be malicious."
The man said hurriedly.
"..."
Wang Pingbei looked at the man, then at Xiao Chen, how did you know that he was kind?
"Hehe, good eyesight, don't look at me as a cultivator, but what I dislike the most is fighting and killing people."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Go ahead and tell me about Blacksmith Zhang."
"okay."
The man lost all guard against Xiao Chen, and told him everything he knew.
From the man's mouth, Xiao Chen had a clearer understanding of Blacksmith Zhang.
On that day, Blacksmith Zhang lied, and more than one.
But he can also understand, who hasn't said a few words of nonsense?
Doesn't he just open his mouth to talk nonsense?
"Master, where are we going? It's already far away."
Suddenly, the man said.
"Ok?"
Xiao Chen looked left and right, really, before he knew it, he came out a long way.
He thought for a while, and took out the Xuanyuan knife from the bone ring.
The man looked at the Xuanyuan knife that appeared out of nowhere, and couldn't help but change his face. What is he going to do?
Don't you want to do something to yourself?
Didn't you say that you don't like fighting and killing?
"Don't be afraid, I will use a knife to come out."
Seeing this, Xiao Chen gave a word of comfort.
"what……"
The man didn't believe it at all. In this vast sea, there is no boat for hundreds of meters nearby. What's the use of you taking a knife out?
"real……"
Xiao Chen held Xuanyuan Dao, and communicated with the spirit of the dragon.
"You row your boat."
Wang Pingbei said something to the man.
"oh oh."
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't make another move, the man felt a little relieved and continued rowing.
"Brother Long, do you feel anything?"
"No."
"Ok."
Xiao Chen really wanted to take out the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, but it was inconvenient in broad daylight, not to mention there was a boatman around.
He was planning to bring the spiritual root of heaven and earth alone at night.
Get acquainted with the Emperor Sea first during the day, and see how this sea area differs from other sea areas.
At least for the time being, nothing abnormal was found.
"There are quite a few people going to sea."
Xiao Chen looked around, there were several ships a few hundred meters away.
In mid-air, there is also the strong Yukong, overlooking the entire sea area.
"Brother Chen, let's keep a low profile."
Wang Pingbei was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Chen, so he reminded him.
"I've been keeping a low profile."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Boater, do you know what is on the other side of the Emperor Sea?"
"I don't know, we don't dare to go too deep...there is a big crime there."
The man shook his head.
"Big fierce? What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback, again he didn't understand the situation.
"that is……"
Just as the man was about to say something, suddenly there was a huge wave in the distance.
A boat was lifted up and smashed down again.
The hull fell apart, but the cultivator on it was fine and stabilized his figure.
After the boatman fell into the sea, he quickly let out a scream.
This sudden change attracted the attention of everyone around.
what happened?
Even if there is a strong wind and big waves, with the boatman's water skills, it should be fine.
The water quality is not good, who dares to come out and run a boat.
What's more... Except for the sudden big waves just now, the sea is calm.
"what……"
The two practitioners who had just stabilized their figures seemed to see something on the sponge and screamed out.
Before they could react, they suddenly collapsed and fell into the sea water.
A wave turned over, and the two... disappeared.
This scene shocked everyone.
"What happened? Where are they?"
Wang Pingbei stood up abruptly, staring at the place where the two disappeared.
Xiao Chen also looked a little dignified, is there something on the bottom of the sea?
What is it?
No monster?
He operated the 'Chaos Jue' and released his consciousness, but because of the distance, he couldn't reach it.
The man's face also turned pale, and his body kept shaking.
"You wait here, I'll go and have a look."
Xiao Chen dropped a word, and Yu Kong flew up.
"Brother Chen, wait for me."
Wang Pingbei followed closely behind. Although there were unknown dangers, he felt...it was safer to follow Xiao Chen.
Not only them, but the nearby cultivators, especially the strong foundation builders, flew over one after another, wanting to see what happened.
When the man said this, there was a bit of anger in his eyes, and his rowing movements slowed down a lot.
"If you can't find a chance, just kill ordinary people to vent your anger?"
Xiao Chen was also a little angry.
"Yes, it is said that hundreds of people were killed that year..."
