Chapter 457 Fishing Village
Rakshasa Sea, seaside.
This sea is located to the east of Xinwu State. It is said that there used to be a vast expanse of land, but during the "Heavenly Change", the sky overturned, the earth sank, and it evolved into an ocean.
Xu San took a deep breath of the salty air, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face.
He was born in a small fishing village by the sea and went out to explore the world in his childhood.
The fishing village is poor and cannot support too many boys, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Most of the other friends who fled the famine died in a foreign land, and it was lucky for one or two to survive.
But Xu San is different!
Ever since he was separated from his friends, he has encountered many strange encounters and found a martial arts secret manual left by a senior master in the wild mountains. He taught himself and now is known as the "Sword of the South Sky" and is known as one of the "Three Wonders of the Martial Arts World" together with his good friends Du Qiankun and Yuan Huolong!
Now that Xu San has achieved success and fame, he wants to go home for a visit.
In order to show that he did not forget his roots, he did not choose to change his name.
The nameless little fishing village is still as dilapidated as before, with wild dogs occasionally running out from the roadside and snatching food from the children.
When Xu San saw this scene, his eyes turned red and he quickly turned his back, almost crying.
"If I hadn't fled because of famine, wouldn't I have been one of them?"
He walked into a dilapidated house and shouted, "Dad, Mom... I'm back."
"You are... a mistress?"
An old fisherman was drying his fishing nets inside the fence. When he saw Xu San, he called out in confusion.
"It's me...where are mother, my second brother, third brother, and my younger sister?" Xu San asked curiously.
"The second and third children were sick with plague and have passed away..." The old fisherman answered in a flat voice, "I used the money you sent to hire a doctor, but they still couldn't get through. That's fate... As for your mother and youngest sister, they've gone fishing..."
"Now?"
Xu San was a little surprised.
Fishermen go to the beach to pick up some seafood such as shells and small fish when the tide is low. This is called "catching the sea", but the time is not right now.
"Don't underestimate them. The women in the village are very capable now..." The old fisherman smiled, with a strange smile on his face: "It's all thanks to the Dragon Head God!"
Xu San didn't take it to heart.
Although the village used to worship the Dragon King, aren’t the Dragon Head God and the Dragon King the same thing?
He settled down there with peace of mind, and as expected, he met his mother and sister at dinner time.
Seeing that the woman at home was living well and looking fine, he felt relieved.
midnight.
Xu San, who was lying down, suddenly opened his eyes.
He heard footsteps.
As a martial artist, especially after living a life on the edge of a knife, he became very alert and had a light sleep.
At this moment, he stretched out his hand and grasped the dagger under the pillow.
"There are three of us. What are the parents and sister doing? They don't seem to be relieving themselves..."
When Xu San heard the sound of the door opening, he became even more curious.
He thought about it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he followed.
This time, they followed to the outside of the small village, and on a beach, they saw torches lit and a lot of people gathered.
Xu Sanzang was in the dark and felt a little strange: "Does the village hold meetings in the middle of the night now?"
He yawned and was about to go back when he saw this group of people gathered around the fire, performing a strange song and dance.
"Dragon Head God, Dragon Head God!"
"Your reputation will never be forgotten!"
"Your followers, offer sacrifices and swear here that we will find your name!"
…
A large number of figures were twisting their limbs, shouting loudly, with fanatical expressions.
The more rapid the beating of the instruments, the more the human bodies twisted, emitting an inexplicable atmosphere of frenzy that reminded people of crawling insects and made them feel nauseous.
Xu San pinched his thigh and felt as if he was having a blurry dream.
No matter how slow he was, he knew that something was wrong in the village.
The dark sea became even more turbulent at this time.
Suddenly, a group of people walked out of the sea.
They are not real people, but have black scales, just like the legendary mermaids!
Xu San saw his parents come forward and hug the two young mermaids affectionately.
"They... are my brother? My brother is not dead, but turned into a monster?"
"No... this is a super-sized monster!?"
Xu San's heart gradually sank.
Crash!
Just then, he saw a whirlpool emerging in the sea.
Along with a low roar that almost made him vomit blood, a huge black shadow emerged, and its snake-like head poked onto the shore.
That is...
…
Du Qiankun was boating on the river when he suddenly saw a "strange man"!
The strange man's lightness skill was amazing. He could fly more than ten feet in one leap, almost like flying on air.
He was just about to shout "good" when he saw the strange man turn in an extremely indecent posture and dive into the river.
'this……'
He was stunned: "Such a peerless skill, and he can even turn in mid-air, he is simply a peerless master, I am far inferior to him...but why is it so stiff? Could it be that this senior had a problem when he was practicing Qi?"
Just as Du Qiankun was about to go up to rescue, he saw a white shark suddenly breaking through the surface of the river , holding a...'fish' in its hand?
"So you want to eat fish, that's quite childish..."
Just as he thought of this, he saw the strange man stop on the shore, stretch out his right hand, and keep stroking the fish body.
Du Qiankun abandoned the boat and went ashore. After observing for a while, he finally confirmed that this peerless master had something wrong with his brain.
No matter how great a person is at playing games, he wouldn't slack off like this for half a day, right?
Just when his legs felt numb and he wanted to leave, Fang Xian also ended his desire to slack off, saw him, and said, "Have you been watching for a long time?"
"Shannan Du Qiankun, nice to meet you... Senior?"
Du Qiankun was a little unsure about the person opposite him. The other person had black hair and beard, and his voice seemed very young?
But there are many old monsters in the world who have profound internal skills and the ability to maintain their youth, so he did not dare to lose his manners.
If Fang Xian was a martial artist, he would have definitely heard of the name of the 'Three Wonderful Heroes', but at this moment, he knew nothing about it.
Fang Xian thought for a moment and asked, "I have not been in the martial arts world for a long time... I don't know much about many things... Is the name of Golden Wind and Rain Tower still there in the martial arts world now?"
As soon as he said this, the figures of two people appeared in front of his eyes.
One is a dragon and the other is a tiger, both are outstanding talents of the time.
"This senior, there is indeed something wrong with your brain. Maybe you can't remember some things..."
Du Qiankun thought about this and answered, "Senior, are you talking about the Golden Wind and Rain Tower where the White Tiger Immortal Lord came from? This tower, along with the Rushi Temple and Qingyuan Palace, were once known as the three great martial arts holy places in the world, but later they also declined and now retreat to Yueshan County. I heard that the situation is not good... Could it be that the senior was born in this tower?"
