Chapter Seventy-Three: Jinsha River
Seeing that Qingyang didn't speak, Songhe thought that the apprentice couldn't get over this hurdle, and suddenly became angry, and said: "Manly man, what are you doing with such a mother-in-law?" That's it, you'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
The master has said it to this point, and it would be a bit hypocritical to say anything more, and it is inevitable to be separated from the master, that is, the difference between a few days earlier and a few days later, Qingyang had to nod in agreement.
Although there are still more than three months before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and it only takes more than a month to rush to Liangzhoucheng, who knows if there will be any accidents on the road? In case something delays the trip, wouldn't it be troublesome to miss this Knocking Immortal Conference?
Qingyang didn't say anything more, but found a few wine jars in the Taoist temple, got all the remaining rain wine, installed it for the master and buried it in the ground. And Songhe Lao Dao rummaged for a long time in the things left by the ancestors of the past dynasties, and found a seven-star sword and handed it to Qingyang, so that he could use it on the road for self-defense.
The Seven Star Sword is not a treasure like a magic weapon, that is, it is slightly better than an ordinary Jianghu weapon, but it is still somewhat useful for Qingyang, who currently has no talisman except for cultivation and meditation, and has never learned any spells.
Early the next morning, Qingyang carried a burden on his back and a seven-star sword on his waist, said goodbye to his master, and officially set out on the road.
In the baggage are some changes of clothes and food, although things can also be placed in the space of the drunken immortal, but Qingyang did not dare to do this, because these are commonly used things on the body, and they need to be taken out and put in frequently, if someone sees anything abnormal, I am afraid that it will lead to death.
Ordinary people can deal with it, if other monks know that they actually have spatial treasures, it is normal to kill people and seize treasures, with their current strength, it is impossible to hold it. Therefore, only things that are not commonly used, or particularly valuable, can Qingyang store them in the space, and he needs to make sure that there is no one around.
From Xiping Mansion to Liangzhou City, there are about two thousand miles, according to the itinerary of ordinary people, it takes almost two months, although the physical fitness of the people in the rivers and lakes is better, but it is impossible to keep hurrying, so it does not save much time, more than a month or more.
There are two more prefectures between Xiping Mansion and Liangzhou City, one is Kaiyuan Mansion, which is the prefecture where the Tiger Gang is located, and the other is Qingyun Mansion, which is too far away from Xiping Mansion, not only Qingyang has not heard of it, but even Master Songhe has never been there.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Qingyang is not much different from adults, although he still looks very young and immature, but he is dressed as a Taoist monk and carries a sword at his waist, and no one deliberately embarrasses him on the road. All the way east, nearly ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
Along the way, he stayed overnight, hurried during the day, spent most of the time cultivating at night, and spent half of the time resting, but he didn't feel too tired. Sometimes he didn't want to hurry, he would find a lush mountain place and get the six alcoholic bees out to let them go.
Occasionally, when he encounters a wine seller, Qingyang will also buy a jar, open the lid and put it in the drunken fairy gourd, which is used to entertain those few alcoholic bees. The taste of alcohol in the world is very ordinary, but the alcoholic bee is crazy about alcohol, and it is not very picky, and it can drink a jar of wine in two or three days.
Qingyang's currying favor with these alcoholic bees is still effective, and after a few releases and a few jars of wine, these alcoholic bees are now less distant from Qingyang than before. If they encounter Qingyang, they will also circle around Qingyang a few times to express their closeness.
Sometimes Qingyang wraps the alcoholic bees with his divine sense to express some simple emotions or requests, and he feels that these alcoholic bees can also understand. Of course, this is what Qingyang thinks, as for whether people actually understand it, or whether they will do it, I don't know.
On this day, he unconsciously came to a ferry, the river in front of it is the largest river in the whole Liangzhou, the name is Jinsha River, it is said that because the color of the sediment in this river is golden, especially under the sun, the golden is like gold and gets the name.
The width of the Jinsha River is hundreds of zhang, and ordinary people can't build such a big bridge, so if you want to cross the river, you have to take a boat from the ferry. After crossing the river, continue to the east is the road to Qingyun Mansion, and the journey to the north is at most half a day's journey, which is where the capital of Kaiyuan Mansion is located.
When it came to Kaiyuan Mansion, Qingyang suddenly had some ideas, his current strength had been greatly improved, so it was better to go to the Tiger Gang to break through. On the one hand, he wanted to see if he could get rid of the Tiger Gang and solve this problem for Master and Master Empty Silence completely, and on the other hand, he had some thoughts about the Knock Immortal Order of the Tiger Gang.
Xi Ying Immortal Master once said that there are three opportunities to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect, whether the qualifications are excellent depends on the will of heaven, and Qingyang unconsciously has that luck. And it is even more difficult to complete the task of Xianmen, and you need to have enough strength.
Among them, the easiest for Qingyang is the second one, he has become an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of the Open Pulse Realm, as long as he gets a knocking immortal order, he can join the immortal gate. And the Tigers just have such a piece, this is God is helping himself.
Anyway, there is still plenty of time, and it's no problem to delay for a few days here in Kaiyuan Mansion, go and see it first, maybe there is a chance to fish in troubled waters, and Tianyu will take the blame instead of taking it.
This ferry port is the only place for Xiping Mansion to Kaiyuan Mansion and even Liangzhou City, but there are many people who rely on this ferry to make a living, and they are mixed.
However, by this time it was already approaching dusk, and the people at the ferry were much less crowded, and if there were no boats to cross the river, I am afraid that we would have to wait for tomorrow. Qingyang's luck was not bad, there was a small boat carrying passengers parked in a corner of the ferry, and an honest middle-aged man at the bow of the boat, carrying a bamboo hat, quietly smoking a bag of dry tobacco.
Qingyang got on the boat, the man just glanced at him, didn't even say a kind word, it seemed that he was also a person who was not good at words, and it seemed that he was ready to continue to wait for the guests, and he would not leave until the seat was full. When he was out of the house, Qingyang didn't want to talk much, so after getting on the boat, he did the other side, holding the burden in his arms and waiting for the boat to leave.
Seeing that the night is getting heavier and heavier, if you don't set off again, you may have to start the boat in the dark, and the boat is dangerous at night, and even the old boatman does not dare to sail at night.
I'm afraid there is only this one guest on this trip, and I don't know if I can earn back the hard money, the middle-aged man scolded in a low voice, and then knocked the cigarette bag and pot on the boat, stood up and prepared to support the boat to cross the river.
