"Then you have been at sea all year round, have you found any strange things?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"Such as hitting something from the sea?"
"In the sea, there are all kinds of weird things, too many."
the man replied.
"My father said that swords were salvaged..."
Xiao Er thought of something, said.
"This is so normal, it can often be salvaged."
said the man.
"How could there be a sword in the sea? Where did it come from?"
Wang Pingbei asked curiously.
"It's... the cultivators."
The man glanced at Wang Pingbei and said.
"Cultivator's?"
Wang Pingbei was taken aback for a moment.
"Who is okay and throws swords into the sea?"
"It wasn't lost, it died in the Emperor Sea, and the weapon naturally fell into the sea."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Cultivators often go to Dihai to look for opportunities. Even if Dihai is not in danger, they may encounter enemies. It is not uncommon for battles to occur."
"oh oh."
Wang Pingbei realized that it seemed to be the case.
"Yes."
The man nods.
"Then what did you do with the sword when you salvaged it?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Sold it, some of the swords of cultivators are very valuable..."
The man didn't finish talking. In fact, they were all looking forward to salvaging the sword.
"Hehe, it is indeed much better than fishing."
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile.
However, there will not be magic weapons and the like, even those of the level of swords and swords, generally they will not be kept.
If you kill someone, you must take the sword with you.
"..."
The man didn't dare to say anything, Xiao Chen could say this, but he couldn't.
"Is there anything that impresses you?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Don't be afraid, if there is anything, just say it."
"Father, Young Master Chen is a good man, you can just say what you have to say."
Xiaoer also said.
"It's impressive, yes."
Hearing what his son said, the man thought for a while and nodded.
"It was getting dark at that time, and the boat of Zhao Laosi and I was not very far away..."
"I was going to come back, dragging Abashiri, what if there is any gain?"
"When the net was collected, there was a dazzling light, which quickly disappeared..."
"At that time, we all thought we were delusional. There were a lot of things in that net."
"There are water plants, fish, and a sword...the sword is entangled in water plants, otherwise it would not have been salvaged."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, Broken Sword?
Wang Pingbei also looked at Xiao Chen, a little excited.
"The Broken Sword? Father, didn't I ask you, have you ever seen the Broken Sword? You said no."
Xiao Er frowned.
"You're talking about a broken sword, but I didn't see it clearly at the time. It's just a piece of sword. I'm not sure if it's a broken sword."
The man shook his head.
"I'm still more than ten meters away from Zhao Laosi's boat."
"What about the sword?"
Xiao Chen hurriedly asked.
"Let Zhao Lao Si sell it, it should be worth a lot, but he kept it secret and didn't say much."
the man replied.
"Zhao Laosi...is he still in town now?"
Hearing 'sold', Xiao Chen's heart sank. It would be fine if Gongsun Zhen bought it, otherwise there would be some trouble.
If it is sold and someone takes it away, where can I find it?
Almost impossible to find.
"Still, I called him, and he will come later."
the man replied.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"That dazzling light came from the sword?"
"It's hard to say, because when we took a closer look, it had already disappeared."
The man shakes his head.
"What is certain is that the sword was quite sharp and tore the fishing net..."
"When a divine soldier is born, there must be a vision...Brother Chen, could it be?"
Wang Pingbei asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say. I'll ask when I see Zhao Laosi."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"If you want to say that I am most impressed, it was quite a few years ago, Xu Laosan's family... At that time, he fished a knife from the sea, sold it for a lot of money, and moved to the big city overnight, not in the town anymore."
The man continued.
"At that time, we were envious. Later, I went to the big city once, but I didn't find out about him... Over the years, I haven't heard anything about him. Maybe it's developed, and I don't want to have anything to do with the town."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had lost contact with him for many years, and he might have died.
However, he didn't say much.
The man intermittently said a few things that impressed him, except for the first one, the others were not of much value.
One after another, people also arrived.
Basically, they are the same as men. At first glance, they look like toilers who have been exposed to the wind and sun all day, with calluses all over their hands.
They all seemed a bit cautious, after all, the cultivators...but they had never been invited to dinner.
Xiao Chen smiled all over his face and greeted them.
It was also thanks to the presence of Xiao Er, who they had watched and grown up with, made them feel more relaxed.
From their point of view, big people can't be trusted, but this child who grew up watching him will not harm them after all.
Xiao Chen also met Zhao Laosi, a thin and shrewd man.
Everyone came to the upstairs box and sat down.
"Everyone, don't be too restrained. I asked you to come here today. I just want to chat with you and ask for some advice."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Yes, grandpas and uncles, Young Master Chen is a good person..."
Xiao Er also hurriedly said.
"Young Master Chen came to us because he wanted to learn about some things that happened in the town, including some legends."
Xiao Er's father said, looking at an old man with a white beard beside him.
"Second uncle, aren't you good at telling these stories? I grew up listening to your stories."
"Hehe, those are all made up."
The old man smiled and looked at Xiao Chen.
"It's okay to fool children, but how dare you talk nonsense in front of adults."
"Hehe, I just like listening to stories."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What's the story, just tell me..."
"Okay, let me think about it."
The old man nodded.
"good."
Xiao Chen looked at Wang Pingbei and winked.
Wang Pingbei nodded, took out a cloth bag, opened it, and put it on the table.
The cloth bag was full of broken gold.
The people on the table saw the bag of broken gold, their eyes widened.
It's not that they have never seen broken gold, but for them, they may not be able to earn so much broken gold in this life.
"This is a little bit of my heart, for everyone."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Of course, that's only part of it."
Money opens the way, all the way is smooth, it is the same in any world.
He took out the gold first, just to show his attitude, you just talk about it, and if you talk about it, you will be rewarded.
If you want people to do things, there must be benefits, otherwise, who will do their best?
"Grandpas and uncles, Young Master Chen is very generous and will not treat you badly."
Xiao Er also smiled.
"hehe."
In the private room, there was a lot of laughter.
Soon, the food and wine were delivered.
"Come on, let me offer you a toast first... I am an outsider, and I came to this town. I hope you will take care of me."
Xiao Chen picked up the cup, got up and said.
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen, did he give them too much face?
A group of ordinary people, what else is needed?
"My lord was joking."
The old man is the oldest and has the highest seniority, so he hurriedly said.
"As long as there is a place where we can be used, just ask."
"Come on, everyone."
Xiao Chen smiled and drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone drank the wine and sat down.
After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere is obviously much more relaxed than before.
"Second Grandpa, you can talk about it first."
Xiaoer said to the old man.
"Okay, since Young Master Chen has come to Xuanyuan Town, it must be because of chance, so let me tell a legend about Emperor Xuanyuan, which is what my grandfather said."
The old man clicked his mouth and said.
"Please tell me, I'm all ears."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"It is said that in the past, Emperor Xuanyuan traveled here and found that this place is extraordinary..."
The old man stroked his beard and started talking.
"Emperor Xuanyuan set up a dojo here, above the sea of emperors... and because of the existence of emperor Xuanyuan, the fierce emperor of the sea did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pond."
Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Chen thought of the map given by the ghost king, the long line of defense.
This is definitely not a simple line of defense, maybe it was created by Emperor Xuanyuan.
Just as he guessed, Emperor Xuanyuan sits here alone, suppressing Di Hai's evil!
"It is said that the ancestors of us all followed Emperor Xuanyuan..."
When the old man said this, his old face glowed with glory, and even his waist straightened a lot.
He had told these words to children before, but no one believed them.
In fact, including himself, he didn't believe it either.
Although they are from the town, their status is the lowest in Xuanyuan Town today.
This legend endowed them with noble identities, making them mentally...no longer inferior to others.
"Just based on your sentence, I have to toast you."
Xiao Chen picked up the cup and said to the old man.
"Hahaha, it's just nonsense, it's just nonsense."
The old man laughed, much better than the stiff state just now.
The two clinked glasses and drank it down.
The old man continued talking, while Xiao Chen listened carefully.
Others, say a few words from time to time, and add something.
Wine, the more you drink, the better the atmosphere.
At this moment, they all believed that Xiao Chen didn't have any malicious intentions, he just came to them to learn about the history of Xuanyuan Town and listen to the stories.
After the old man finished speaking, the others continued to tell some legends.
When Zhao Laosi went out for convenience, Xiao Chen followed.
"My lord? You go first."
Seeing Xiao Chen alone, Zhao Laosi was still a little nervous, so he hurriedly said.
"Hehe, I came out for you."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"ah?"
Zhao Laosi was taken aback.
"You...what do you want from me?"
"I heard that you once salvaged a piece of sword in the Emperor Sea?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Laosi and asked.
"Do you remember what it looked like?"
"You...how did you know?"
Zhao Laosi was surprised, and then reacted.
"Did Jiang Datou say it?"
"Jiang Datou?"
Xiao Chen was stunned, is Xiaoer's father Jiang Datou?
"It must be him. Only he knows about it."
Zhao Laosi was a little excited.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to understand."
Xiao Chen said a few words of comfort, and took out the broken sword from Gongsun Zhena from the bone ring.
"Look carefully, but this?"
