The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 263
Chapter 263 Unexpected Guess (1)
It was still raining heavily, and a small boat came out from the edge of the reed pond.
Lei Xingfeng’s boat quickly rowed over and Jin Daya said, “Just in time to ask where the nearby water town is.”
When the two boats came together, Lei Xingfeng already knew that it was an empty boat. There was half a boat full of water and no one inside. Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “This is a ghost boat.”
The so-called ghost boat was a disaster caused by the storm during the rainy season. The lake here was huge. Once the storm broke out, the huge waves would be extremely terrifying. Ordinary small boats would not be able to withstand it at all. Ordinary people on board would probably drown and disappear because of it. This kind of boat that lost its fishermen was the so-called ghost boat.
Jin Daya said, “Luck, it’s actually a ghost ship.”
Shi Hu pulled his oars and the boat followed the ghost boat towards the reeds.
Feng Ying flew into the air and looked at it carefully. After landing, he said, “Follow the reed, and then go to the right.”
By the time the boat turned around, Lei Xingfeng had already recognized this place. It was actually the place where he almost drowned when he fell out of the Ancient Wheel Passage. Later, he was rescued by Uncle Zhou Tong, the fisherman. He said, “Let’s go this way. Haha, I know this place.”
In this small town, he knew quite a few people, including cultivator Zhong Geng and his disciples. Later, he also sent people to contact him.
Very quickly, Lei Xingfeng saw the distant water town in the heavy rain.
Lei Xingfeng sighed with emotion. Back then, he was a Milun Master. It was here that he started. He became a disciple of Gucci and entered the secret sect. His cultivation had jumped a thousand miles. Now, he was already an Eight Ring True Body Adept.
The boat docked at the wooden pier. Because of the rainy season, there were many boats docking at the wooden pier. Feng Ying tied the boat to the pier and said, “Live on the boat?”
“Come with me,” said Lei Xingfeng. “I have acquaintances here.”
They walked along the wooden street. Due to the heavy rain, there were basically no pedestrians on the street. All the fishermen were sheltering in their homes or boats. Following the narrow street, the four of them quickly arrived near Zhong Geng’s residence.
Zhong Geng’s residence was separated from the street by a stretch of water and required a small boat to ferry. However, the four of them could fly and directly crossed this stretch of distance.
Jin Daya smiled and said, “Is it a local cultivator?”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Well, it used to be the residence of a Wan Lun Master. I wonder if he has advanced now, hehe.” After a long time, his memories were a little blurry. The main reason was that Zhong Geng’s cultivation was too low. He could not remember if Zhong Geng had advanced.
Feng Ying knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it.
Lei Xingfeng knew the person who opened the door. He was a servant of the Tian Clan. However, he looked extremely old. He opened his eyes and said, “Eh, how could you all be here?” Because the mansion was several hundred meters away from the small town’s waterway, it was impossible to get on without a boat.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Is Zhong Geng home?”
The servant was shocked. He looked at Lei Xingfeng with a familiar expression and said, “At home, at home, I’ll go report …”
Very quickly, Zhong Geng brought two people out. Lei Xingfeng recognized both of them. The two people behind Zhong Geng were his disciples, Wu Zhen and Han Xiaobao.
Zhong Geng couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw Lei Xingfeng. “Brother Lei?” He asked in surprise. He unconsciously shouted, but in fact, he had changed his name to Senior before.
Jin Daya snorted and took a step forward. His momentum was overwhelming. A little Milun Master actually dared to call Lei Xingfeng his brother. He simply didn’t know that the heavens were high and the earth was thick.
Although Zhong Geng had advanced to the First Ring True Body realm, It was because of the wheel seal left behind by Lei Xingfeng that he advanced. However, it was crushed by Jiuhuan Daoist’s aura and immediately fell silent. Wu Zhen, who was behind him, almost knelt down. The three of them trembled. Lei Xingfeng noticed that something was wrong and immediately stopped him. “Uncle Jin, don’t … they are my subordinates now. It’s just that they haven’t been to the sect yet.”
“I just want to remind them, haha,” said Jin Daya. He took a step back and stood behind Lei Xingfeng.
Zhong Geng’s heart trembled. Although the momentum just now had only lasted for a moment, he felt as if he was suffocating. With his knowledge, he knew that the other party was extremely powerful. He said, “Senior?”
Jin Daya said indifferently, “Jiuhuan Daoist, Jin Daya.”
Zhong Geng couldn’t conceal the horror on his face. He was joking. As a country rich man, where would he go to see Jiuhuan Daoist? Not to mention the Nine Rings, he was a Daoist. He rarely saw him. He was so scared that he hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings, senior.”
Jin Daya reached out to stop him and said, “I’m just Feng’s bodyguard. You don’t have to be polite to me.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Alright, alright, stop being so polite. Well, Old Zhong, let me introduce you. These are my three bodyguards, Feng Ying, Tiger Addict, and Jin Daya. They are all Jiuhuan Daoist.”
Zhong Geng knew that Lei Xingfeng’s sect was very powerful, but he was still shocked to find three Jiuhuan Daoist as guards. Jiuhuan Daoist, many large sects didn’t have such experts. He actually brought three of them. He didn’t dare to say anything else, so he could only salute, “Zhong Geng greets three seniors.”
Feng Ying said, “Haha, Big Ya, you scared him.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Old Zhong, don’t be so nervous. They’re very nice.”
Zhong Geng said, “Yes, yes …” He didn’t know how to let go of his restraints, and Wu Zhen and Han Xiaobao were equally panicked.
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “Old Zhong, we can’t keep standing at the door in such a heavy rain, can we?”
Zhong Geng hurriedly invited everyone in.
When he arrived at the familiar hall, Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Old Zhong, your childhood is not bad. Haha, this house is really well built. By the way, Mr. Tan and the others are not here?”
Zhong Geng smiled bitterly and said, “Tan Da has gone on a trip. He has already advanced to the Third Ring True Body. Haha, he said that he wants to see the outside world. I will be in charge of this place.”
Lei Xingfeng had once instructed his subordinates to send some rings over every year. Zhong Geng and Tan Da had benefited from these rings and their cultivation had risen by a large margin. They were now Lei Xingfeng’s peripheral organizations, and there were people in charge of them. However, because they were in a remote place, they could not be used for the time being.
Zhong Geng asked, “Senior, what are you doing here this time? If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to give me instructions.”
“It’s fine,” said Lei Xingfeng. “I’m just going to stay here for a while.” As for what he was doing, he didn’t explain.
Zhong Geng smiled and said, “Just stay here. Haha, Wu Zhen will get people to prepare a room. Everything will be changed. En, Xiao Bao, go to the kitchen and ask them to cook some special dishes.”
Wu Zhen and Han Xiaobao stood up and prepared.
Lei Xingfeng asked, “Uncle Zhou Tong and Little Xin, are you alright?”
Zhong Geng smiled and said, “It has already been arranged. Little Xin is already married and has children. They have moved to a small town controlled by Tan Da.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “That’s good.”
Lei Xingfeng had always been grateful to Uncle Zhou Tong and Little Xin. However, they were ordinary people and could not get very close to cultivators. He could only instruct his subordinates to take care of them. There was no problem with a wealthy and honorable life.
Lei Xingfeng asked Zhong Geng about his cultivation and gave him some pointers, leaving behind some rings.
Because Zhong Geng had rings, his cultivation speed was many times faster than before. He had already reached the peak of the First Ring and was about to advance to the Second Ring. The rings left behind by Lei Xingfeng had solved his big problem. Relying on these rings, he knew that it wasn’t a big problem for him to advance to the Second Ring True Body, so his mood became extremely happy.
The next day, the heavy rain stopped. It was a rare sunny day. Many fishermen used it to dry their clothes and blankets.
Lei Xingfeng was sitting on Zhong Geng’s private pier, with a large table and a few people chatting.
Zhong Geng and Wu Zhen sat together. Because Wu Zhen and Lei Xingfeng were very close, they had fought side by side when they met the masked man last time. Therefore, Lei Xingfeng specifically asked Wu Zhen to accompany them and answer some cultivation questions casually.
Wu Zhen was about to advance to the First Ring True Body soon. He needed a lot of rings to achieve his goal. Fortunately, Lei Xingfeng had left behind enough rings this time, so there was no problem for him to advance.
Jin Daya said, “Feng, you might as well go to the Chaos Lake Mountain to cultivate.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Reggie Mountain?”
Jin Daya said, “Yes, there are more thunderstorms there. It’s rainy season again. I believe that Chaotic Lake Mountain is better than here.”
Lei Xingfeng didn’t want to run anymore. He said, “I only need a few days to advance to the Nine Ring True Body. There’s no need to go to Mount Regal again. I’ll go when I really need it.”
The Black Bird rested on Lei Xingfeng’s shoulder. It had not spoken for a long time. It had been retreating like this, but its body was undergoing tremendous changes. It had absorbed a little bit of natural lightning. This was incomparably helpful to it.
But the black bird is still young, Whether it was strength or physical strength, All of them were relatively weak. They came into contact with natural lightning. Although it was filtered by Lei Xingfeng, it was still not able to absorb it immediately. As a result, it almost entered a dormant state. Its mind was also dazed. It basically did not speak, but sometimes, a few words would pop out and continue to be dazed.
Lei Xingfeng also noticed the changes in the black bird, so he rarely disturbed it.
The black bird suddenly said, “I still want to chop!”
Zhong Geng and Wu Zhen were stunned by these words. After a while, Zhong Geng carefully said, “It … it can speak?”
Wu Zhen said, “This, this bird is alive?” Since the black bird had remained motionless, he thought that Lei Xingfeng had a specimen with him, but he didn’t expect that he would still be able to speak.
Black Bird didn’t say a single word, “Nonsense …”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Ignore it. This is my pet.”
Even if the black bird was confused, it did not agree with this sentence. It said, “You are the pet! You are the bird’s pet!”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Sleep with you! Otherwise, I’ll pluck your hair and eat your meat!”
