Chapter 384: The Old Man
Gu Yan didn't pay attention to these, these Qi refining cultivators in front of her, in her eyes, there was actually no difference. Nor will they pay attention to how much a casual action will affect these monks. In her heart, there was no longer any concern for Qi Refining Cultivators at this time.
With a flick of her hand, the monks gathered around her automatically moved out of the way, and then the old man respectfully led the way in front and led Gu Yan to a big ship not far from the dock.
There were not many people on that boat, only a few of the foremen were busy, and they saw Gu Yan coming from a distance, and thought it was the guard invited by the old man, and the other book friends looked at it normally. Ships walking on the Weishui to the Central Plains, except for those with a famous family background, must ask one or two monks in the foundation building period to be guarded, although this Weishui is the fastest and most convenient road to the Central Plains, but it is inevitable that you will encounter some monsters and the like on the way. This is not something that their caravans can resist.
This old man's name is Wei Bo, he is a very side branch of the Wei family, his name can't be on the roster of Duanming Mansion, in terms of status, in fact, he is far inferior to Wei Xuan and others, except for the name of a person surnamed Wei, he can't get any other benefits. He would go back and forth between the Central Plains and Weiguo twice a year, sell the special species here to the Central Plains, and then bring some spiritual pills or spiritual weapons from the Central Plains back to sell, and each time he could only earn dozens of spirit stones.
Because the amount of money he earns each time is limited, he usually brings some people with him, on the one hand, to reduce the risk, and on the other hand, he will also charge some travel expenses. But today he got this opportunity to walk with Gu Yan, and he was ecstatic. I had long forgotten that I had made an appointment with someone, and when I got to the boat, I shouted: "Open the boat, open the boat!" ”
At this time, those workers also saw Gu Yan's cultivation, and they all fell to the ground one by one. Bow down in fear. Gu Yan waved his hand absently and said, "Let's start the boat, Wei Bo." You come to the cabin. ”
The workers had been walking this way for a long time, and after the panic, they picked up their spirits. Pull up the sails. The big ship sailed out of the dock and slowly headed west along the Weishui.
Gu Yanduan sat in the cabin, looked at the white-bearded and white-haired old man in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, I also used to be from a casual cultivation background, so I won't embarrass you, I just want to ask you about the Central Plains." ”
Webber breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Brother Jiedan was usually very strange. It's all very difficult to serve, and he is really a little apprehensive in his heart, but. What did this Jurchen just say, she was also from a casual cultivation? I can't have heard it wrong. He has also lived in the defense of the country for hundreds of years, and none of those masters in the six southeastern countries are unfamiliar, when did such a person appear? Although the Jurchen in front of him was only in the early stages of the knot, he had a strange feeling, it seemed that even the patriarch of the Wei family, Wei Huayan, could not compare to the murderous aura hidden in her.
He calmed down for a moment, and then said respectfully: "I don't know what the seniors want to ask?" As long as the younger generation knows, they must know everything and say everything. ”
Gu Yan said lightly: "You can say something at will, I am also going to the Central Plains for the first time, I don't know what big sects there are, or the Immortal Mountain Holy Land?" ”
Wei Bo took a deep breath, he had been to the Central Plains no less than dozens of times, and he knew the situation there very well, so he came to Gu Yan one by one.
"The Central Plains is actually just a general name, in the earliest days, in fact, it only refers to the hinterland in the middle, that is, the smallest piece of tortoise shell on the back of the giant tortoise, but now, as long as it is a wild place away from the four wilds, it is called the Central Plains. The vast territory is dozens of times larger than that of the six southeastern countries. ”
Gu Yan couldn't help but take a breath, the scope of the six southeastern countries was far larger than the Yue country when she was born, there were countless large and small sects, and the Central Plains that the person in front of her was talking about was dozens of times larger than the six southeastern countries!
Wei Bo continued: "There are thousands of large and small sects in the Central Plains, but most of them are dependent on the nine major sects to survive, and only those in remote places will be relatively independent. ”
Gu Yan nodded, it is not difficult to imagine that those sects with Yuanying Cultivators will naturally act extremely strongly, and they will naturally form an extremely huge suction force on the surrounding sects, so that those sects will involuntarily cling to them. However, a family like the Wei family, which is in a remote place, can still maintain a certain degree of independence.
"The nine major factions are in the four directions, but they all recognize the Jade Void Palace, which occupies the Central Heavenly Pillar Peak, as respected. Legend has it that Tianzhu Peak is a pillar of heaven between heaven and earth, which was broken by the immortals in ancient times, isolating the two worlds of immortals and mortals, and there is the gathering place of the whole cangwu aura, the incomparable holy land of cultivating immortals, and also the place of yearning for all monks in the world. The Jade Void Palace, which has three Yuanhou monks, is undoubtedly the number one sect in Cangwu! ”
When Wei Bo said this, he obviously also had a great yearning for the Jade Void Palace, Gu Yan smiled, "Then have you ever been to the Jade Void Palace?" ”
Wei Bo said: "The Jade Void Palace will be open every three years, and the door will be open to all the monks in the world, no matter what your cultivation is, whether you have a teacher or not, you can go to the Qingyan in front of the Jade Void Palace to listen to the sermon, and there are at least 100,000 people each time, crowding the Qingyan to the brim, but there will still be countless people wandering on the Tianzhu Peak,:." When he said this, his eyes also showed a very longing and yearning.
Gu Yan smiled, noncommittal, for her, spending so much effort to listen to a sermon may not be as clever as she can get by concentrating on it. But the behavior of the Jade Void Palace has also made it the name of the largest faction in the world. What she wanted to ask was the situation of the Tibetan Sword Villa and the Danding faction, and at this time Wei Bo also happened to say: "In addition to the Yuxu Palace, the rest of the eight major factions live in all directions, we go west along Weishui, the nearest is the Tibetan Sword Villa, go west for 30,000 miles, out of Weishui, arrive at Bahuan City, and then turn to the north 17,000 miles, which is the trial sword peak where the Tibetan Sword Villa is located." ”
Gu Yan closed her eyes slightly, listening to Wei Bo talk endlessly about the affairs of the Central Plains, and slowly, with the nine major factions as the core, the net woven by countless monks gradually became clear in her heart. It is indeed a place where resources and specialties are extremely rich, and it is a well-deserved holy land for cultivating immortals. Dangerous places like Tianji and Messy Wild, and holy places like Tianzhu Peak are extremely attractive to her.
Just as Wei Bo was talking about the Lotus Mountain, which was famous for its formation among the nine major factions, suddenly there was a violent shaking of the hull. Webber was caught off guard and almost fell out of his chair, and he exclaimed in shock and anger, "What's wrong?" He jumped off the ground at once, and reached out to retrieve the spiritual weapon from the magic treasure bag in his arms.
This is actually a very common situation in Weishui, although this road is the best of the three roads, but it is definitely not peaceful, not only will there be demons on the road, but there will also be some monks who specialize in looting for a living, and they will attack those scattered cultivators who are lonely, robbing their belongings, they can't afford to provoke those children who have the backing of famous factions, and ships like Wei Bo who go on the road alone are their most haode objects.
In the past, Wei Bo always found more than a dozen people to accompany him, but it was still inevitable that there would be times when he would break his fortune and avoid disasters, so this time his subconscious reaction was going to be desperate again. But then he saw Gu Yan's smile, and he reacted immediately, yes, there is a Jiedan monk on his ship, what are you afraid of?
When Gu Yan saw his expression, he smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Go and see what's going on," ”
Wei Bo quickly ran out of the hatch, just a sailor came up in a hurry to report the news, he was in a very calm mood at this time, and said in a deep voice: "What are you panicking, where is the enemy attacking, is it a demon beast?" ”
The sailor took a few breaths, and then said, "No, there is a man who drifted down from the upstream and hit our ship!" ”
Wei Bo was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "How is it possible, if you are hit, will there be such a big movement?" ”
The sailor took a breath, still a little out of breath, and there was a very strange look on his face, "Captain, you better go and see, that is a very thin young man, but he is very strange......" But he said for a long time, but he didn't say what kind of weirdness it was.
Wei Bo looked back, and at this time Gu Yan had already walked out of the cabin door and said, "I'll go over with you to have a look." She had a faint premonition in her heart, as if the journey of this trip to the Central Plains was not as smooth as she imagined.
When a few people walked to the bow of the ship, they saw that a large hole had been broken in the hull on the side of the bow, and water was constantly pouring in from there, and several sailors were busy repairing the hole. Wei Bo said angrily: "This big hole, you said it was hit by someone? ”
The sailor waved his hands in a panic, "Your Excellency, you can see it by looking at it!" At this time, two sailors had already hoisted up a straight human body below with a rope. It was a young man with fine eyebrows, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, his limbs were very stiff and straight, his eyes were tightly closed, and his skin was covered with a strange golden yellow.
The two sailors, one holding his head and the other supporting his feet, as if carrying a weight of 10,000 catties, put him heavily on the ground, Gu Yan even felt that the soles of his feet trembled twice, as if a boulder had been thrown on the ground. And as soon as she saw the young man's face, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sure enough, as she thought, this journey was not as smooth as she expected.
That young man is actually Yan Huan, who she only separated in Weidu a few days ago! (To be continued)
