The Burning Chronicles Chapter 9

"This young man is right here!"

The boatman anchored the ship in a clear blue sea. At this moment, the sky was just getting light, and the east was slightly pale. In the pure white light, the small goose yellow sailboat was like a dead leaf, floating gently on the water, creating ripples.

"Are we there yet?" The young man who had been sitting lazily at the stern of the boat opened his eyes and looked around. He seemed to be a foreigner, wearing a crab-green shirt embroidered with water-shaped patterns and carrying an old saddlebag. He was a very handsome young man with bright and lively eyes, but he was always sleepy and seemed to dislike the cold weather in spring.

"We're here." The boatman pointed in this direction, "It can't be wrong. Young man, you are not a fisherman, so you see the sea is the same everywhere. But I am different. I have been around this area all my life, and I know it better than my wife!"

The young man listened to the boatman's explanation and stood up. When he stood up, he heard a few pleasant and crisp tinkling sounds coming from his feet. He had several thin and narrow silver bell rings on his ankles, and the silver rings were engraved with delicate snake patterns. Every time he moved, pleasant tinkling sounds were made.

He shook his clothes, looked at the deep sea, and said after a moment, "Boatman, please wait for me here for a moment, I will come up soon."

The boatman found what he said strange and asked, "What do you mean by coming up? Where are you going, young man?" However, before he could finish his words, the young man jumped out and fell into the sea with a splash!

The boatman was startled. He ran to the stern without thinking and stretched his neck to look at where the boy jumped. The sea was deep, how could he see any trace of him? !

"Young man! Young man!" the boatman shouted towards the sea, but in the silent world, only his anxious shouts echoed.

And under the deep sea, at the moment when the water current wrapped around the young man, a white light suddenly flashed, followed by a whistling sound, and a huge silver-white snake jumped out of the light, causing a torrent and countless bubbles.

There was a pure white flame pattern on the forehead of the snake, and below it were a pair of azure blue eyes. Its body was as big as an unknown sea monster under the deep sea, and its whole body was wrapped in pure white flames. The blazing flames were invisible in the daytime, but only under this dark sea did it appear exceptionally bright and dazzling.

The big snake narrowed its eyes, as if cheering for its long-lost freedom. It twisted happily in the water before swimming deeper into the sea...

On the sea, however, there was complete silence - the boatman on the sea could not see the wonderful scene just now.

In other words, the true form of the Zhongshan God is invisible to the naked eye of mortals...

Baishi City by the sea is a bustling town with a dense population. There are fishermen who have lived here for generations, and there are foreigners who come and go to do business. There is a large sea pier in the town. Every day before the sun rises, countless fishing boats go out to sea. If you are lucky, you can also see the fleet from the mysterious country on the other side...

---Zhao Zach Zhuo shook open the animal skin scroll and squinted his eyes to look at the words that appeared on the scroll.

A cool breeze blew by, and he couldn't help but shiver in his thin clothing.

Cold, what he hates most is the cold!

But this damn place is even colder in early spring than in winter! The scorching light almost tore the animal skin scroll to pieces. What had possessed him to believe the lies of the smiling fox! The client from Qingshui Town was an old man, and the matter he entrusted must be more troublesome than the child from Baishi City---The letter from the human world was signed by a child from Baishi City by the sea, but it did not specify what wish he wanted to fulfill.

"It's better for me, your sworn brother, to handle this kind of troublesome matter. The thing the child asked me to do might just be a can of candy or a toy. It will definitely not tire you out." In memory, the man in white shirt who always smiled and spoke softly said this.

Shaking his head violently, Zach Zhuo decided to forget this face that had greatly affected his mood.

At this moment, he was walking on the main street of Baishi City. On both sides were crowded shops, with wine signs flying and lanterns swaying. At noon, restaurants and restaurants were open, with doors wide open and aromas wafting out. Silk and jewelry shops, teahouses and theaters were all open, waiting for customers to come. Even the small stalls on both sides of the street were bustling with activity, the charcoal in the stove was red, the boiling water was bubbling, and the noodles that had just been served were still steaming...

Zach Zhuo looked around suspiciously. This Bai Shi City was indeed bustling. If he could see even half a human figure, it would be even more lively.

---There was not a single person in this seaside town with active trade.

The tables in the restaurant were filled with delicious food, some of which had been half eaten. In the silk shop, the embroidered satin was spread on the table, half torn out, as if someone was looking at it. In the powder shop, the gilded box containing rouge was opened, and the rouge inside was as red as blood. The fire was still burning, and the food was still hot... All the scenes in the city seemed to tell the visitors that just a moment ago, the people here were still there, each doing their own business, just like that most ordinary day.

Zach Zhuo's brows twitched unconsciously. In the silent city, he was the only one walking, with the bells on his ankles jingling. The scene was really weird.

"What a hell of a place..." Zach Zhuo twitched his lips, and then said to himself, "Damn, this is a hell of a place."

The person who summoned him should be in the town at the end of this street.

Pulling his saddle bag, Zach Zhuo walked up quickly.

The Baishi City was built by the sea, with a low terrain. There was a seawall outside the city. Looking through the black seawall, the sea in the distance was dark blue, with dark clouds pressing down and rumbling thunder coming from it.

The weather is so cold, and with the upcoming rainstorm, it really is a double whammy.

Zach Zhuo cursed Luke Lu and his ancestors hundreds of times, and finally came to the market. After some trouble, he found the man's residence.

Like other places, the door of the courtyard was ajar, as if the owner had just put on a basket to buy things and would be back soon. Zach Zhuo searched the courtyard for several times, but did not see anyone. He only found the paper that summoned him in a room, with a few ugly crooked words written on it: I have seen the words, Ning Zach Zhuo.

Finally, Zach Zhuo walked out of the yard cursing again.
