Chapter Twenty-Three: Xiao Jian?

The Kingdom of Wu is the only mortal country in this land of absolute spirits.

Nanjing, the national capital, was built less than 100 miles from the Luoshen Cliff.

Starting from the Valley of the Absolute Spirit, we walked north, passing through Nanjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Wu, and then rode a horse for three days, and then we could only hike to the Luoshen Cliff further north.

And from the Valley of the Absolute Spirit to Nanjing, you have to pass through this endless Taihu Lake.

Fishing boats carry wine day with each other, piccolo and reed flowers blow in the depths.

The wind and clouds on the lake are scattered, and the water and sky are shining with blue glass.

This poem was written by a poet You Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake crosses the land of absolute spirits.

How big is your Tao?

It is 200 miles from east to west, 120 miles from north to south, 500 miles around, 36,000 hectares wide, with 72 peaks of mountains and three states.

The three states: Suzhou, Huzhou, and Changzhou. All the waters of the southeast are returned. One Zhenze, one Gu District, one Kasawa, one Wuhu. What is the name of the five lakes? It leads to Changzhou Songjiang in the east, Wucheng Xiaxi in the south, Yixing Jingxi in the west, Jinling Lake in the north, and Jiaxing Jiuxi in the east. The water of the five lakes is always diversionary, so it is called Taihu Lake. In Taihu Lake, there are also five famous lakes, saying: Ling Lake, You Lake, Mo Lake, Gong Lake, Xu Lake. In addition to the five lakes, there are three small lakes: Meiliang Lake in the east of Fujiao Mountain, Jinding Lake in the east of Yucha in the west of Duqi, and Donggaoli Lake in the east of Linwu.

The Wu people only call it Taihu Lake.

Chu Yunfei and Qin Luoluo, the two of them are now on a cargo ship.

The ship was divided into two parts: the cargo hold and the passenger cabin. The lower part of the hull is located below the water surface and belongs to the cargo hold, while the surface of the ship is a spacious and bright cabin.

On the spacious deck at the bow of the boat, a table is set up full of snacks, wine, and chopsticks.

Xiao Minglang, who is quite wealthy, is the owner of this ship.

and the graceful and noble Mrs. Xiao sat on the master seat of the wine table.

Xiao Jian was their only sister-in-law, serving a cup of wine on one side.

On the other side of the wine table were the handsome and dashing Chu Yunfei and the beautiful Qin Luoluo.

Xiao Jian has a tall posture, a brocade dress, and a cold light sword at his waist, and he looks like a personable son of a family. After Xiao Jian accompanied the Xiao couple to drink a few sips, his face was slightly red, and he occasionally looked at Qin Luoluo, all with admiration.

Xiao Minglang is a five-grade Zhizhou, and as soon as he received the Shangfeng transfer order, he went to Changzhou to take up his post with his family's wealth and wealth.

As soon as I entered Taihu Lake, I was targeted by a group of water bandits entrenched in the depths of the reeds here, on a small island.

Although Xiao Minglang also brought more than a dozen guards, and Xiao Jian also studied art from his teacher, there were more than 30 water bandits, and there were many of them, and they were invincible, and the family of three and the servants of the attached courtyard were all buried in this Taihu Lake.

Chu Yunfei and Qin Luoluo passed by in a small boat, and rescued this group of water bandits under the knife, and after Xiao Minglang's family thanked them, they learned that they were going to Nanjing and were on the same road with them, so they tried their best to invite them to go on the boat and go together.

Luoluo originally thought that the immortals were different, and they didn't want to have a deep friendship, so they had to abandon the small boat and take the big boat all the way.

"Miss Qin, I saw just now that you used a crossbow arrow to kill a lot of water bandits, how can you carry so many arrows on your back at any time?

And why is that crossbow arrow missing now?" Mrs. Xiao looked at her son and had a good impression of that Qin girl.

Miss Qin looks like a chivalrous woman, and she and her son may be able to fall in love.

All I wanted to inquire about first.

"Mrs. Xiao, just call me Luoluo.

I was originally a cultivator of immortals, and when I passed through this place, the crossbow arrow was hidden in this Na Wu Pei. ”

How could Qin Luoluo not be able to see Xiao Jian's thoughts, but Xian Fan was different, and hoped that he would not fall too deep, so he told them the truth early.

Xiao Minglang's family was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then a boatload of people fell to the ground one after another, "Thank you two immortals for saving their lives." ”

Qin Luoluo said to them: "We are also mortals, we are just practicing in a blessed land full of spiritual energy, and we don't deserve the word "immortal".

In this country of Wu, there is no aura, and we also have to take a boat like you, so please treat us as ordinary people. ”

"The fairy is polite, it is a blessing for our family that the fairy and this immortal master can be in the same boat with us.

I heard that my national teacher is also an immortal, and I was fortunate to meet him at a state banquet.

I heard that this mortal world cannot enter the eyes of the immortals, and I am afraid that your life-saving grace will not be repaid, and our family can only kowtow a few more times here to express our gratitude. ”

After Xiao Minglang finished speaking, he knelt down with the family and kowtowed a few times.

"You and I can meet on this vast Taihu Lake, that is, fate. It doesn't have to be so formal. If we continue like this, we will have to leave the ship, and we will not be able to go with you. Chu Yunfei said with a smile.

"Just listen to Immortal Chu's arrangement, we also want to ask the two of you to take care of you all the way. ”

At this time, Xiao Jian had no choice but to put away his careful thoughts.

It turned out that he was still thinking about which family's daughter the lovely Qin girl was, even if she was a palace noble, she was not without a chance.

But now one is an immortal who is a cultivator, and the other is an ordinary mortal, there is a world of difference, where is there a little chance.

Xiao Jian felt a faint pain in his chest, said goodbye and left, and hid in the cabin.

This road has been going on for more than a month, and it has been quite smooth.

On the way, there were no more water bandits or the like, and it seemed that there would be another half a day's journey to reach Changzhou, the destination of the Xiao family, and the place where Xiao Minglang took office.

At this time, a large ornate ship appeared 30 miles ahead.

Qin Luoluo's Divine Consciousness had already discovered the existence of this big ship.

Such a big ship is also rare to appear on this Taihu Lake, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Unexpectedly, on this ship, a number of immortal cultivators were found.

Qin Luoluo called his senior brother, untied the boat dragged on the stern of the cargo ship, said goodbye to Xiao and got on the boat, and rowed into the reeds.
