Chapter 21: Night Talk in the Boat

Qiyin and Qiyang, one in the northwest of Qishui, one in the southeast of Qishui, the two places are separated by more than 400 miles. It takes five days to walk upstream.

The Qishui River is not very wide, but the water is very fast. The rushing water washed the riverbed quite deep enough to pass large boats. For thousands of years, the abundant sediment brought by Qishui has cultivated fertile fields along the river. It is precisely because of such a river that it supports the foundation of Qin and Zhao in the thousands of miles of wasteland west of Rongqi.

But because of the rapid water, even though dozens of oarmen on the lower deck paddled in shifts day and night, the speed of travel was not much faster when going upstream. 400 miles, but it takes five days. Compared with Xu Le, who is accustomed to the speed of high-speed rail cars, they feel that this journey is outrageously slow.

Although Shi Wuju summoned Xu Le, who was dissatisfied with their subordinates, to be in the same boat with him, he did not summon Xu Le to ask for anything until dark. It made Xu Lebai nervous for so long.

Xu Le's cabin was located on the main deck, in a large cabin near the stern. Because this boat carries few people, this cabin is quite spacious for four people, and compared to the cramped state that can be imagined in the next two boats, it is simply heavenly happiness.

I have to say that no matter what ideas such as Shi Wujudu Cheng and others play, it still feels good to be valued.

After the boat trip, you can enjoy the scenery of Qishui and take in the panoramic views along the way. At this moment, it may be the best season for the weather in Qin, looking at it from afar, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wheat fields are golden, and the shadows of the trees are looming everywhere. Some of the cottages occupy a large area, just like a small fortress. Some of the cottages are three or two tiled houses, hidden behind a green fence.

Looking to the west, you can also see large pastures with herds of sheep and horses. Looking to the east, the extreme distance is the shadow of the two mountains of Rongqi, the most majestic several dangerous peaks, the peak is covered with snow all the year round, silently looking down on the mountains and rivers of Donghua.

Standing on the big boat moving slowly, the river breeze is blowing, which really makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, this trip, the scenery is good, the accommodation is also good, and the food is difficult to be satisfied.

On that day, Xu Le was semi-forced by Shi Wuju to go to Qiyin with the army, and he also ate a few meals of Qin food on the way. What can be delicious in the army, the wheat rice is rough, the broth is tasteless, and the old fat is thick, and the seasoning seems to be a kind of salt. At that time, I had just been lucky enough to live from the Western Wilderness, and I felt that the future of going to Qin was uncertain, and everything I ate was a taste, and I didn't feel anything.

Now it is not as good as before, with a preliminary foothold, and a little reputation in Qiyin City, although it is still trying to deal with everything around this unfamiliarity, it can be regarded as a preliminary integration into the Qin State. I have a lot of free time on the boat, so I want to relax. The food delivered by the servants on the ship at dinner, Xu Le ate two bites and threw it away.

A few men stealthily closed the hatch and opened the porthole on the ship's board. Take out the smuggled goods you have with you - that is, Merlin's canned dace with tempeh, canned Merlin's luncheon meat, Merlin's assorted canned food, and a bottle of sea blue. The brothers also had a drink.

Everything seems to be in the dormitory again, and the time when everyone drinks and talks about girls is reappearing.

However, Xu Le still has points, and there is a bottle for four people at most, so he can't get drunk anyway. In Donghua, it is far from the time to sit back and relax and live in peace.

While some of the brothers were enjoying their drinks, they heard footsteps outside the cabin door. Xu Le greeted: "Put it away!"

Suddenly, several people jumped up, desperately fanning the wine outside the porthole, Cai Hengwen was fast, and hurriedly hid all those cans under the bed.

There was a heavy knock on the door, and then Shi Bao's rough voice: "It's me!

Three black lines appeared on Xu Le's forehead, why did this leopard's head come? Could it be that he was just generous that day, and today he saw that there was no one else on the boat, so he came to look for the back account?

Trouble comes to the door, and you can't hide it. Xu Le motioned for a few people to be on guard, and stepped forward to open the hatch.

Outside the hatch, Shi Leopard was poking there, he was broad-shouldered and broad-backed, half a head taller than Wang Dengke, almost covering the door. He was shrugging his nose and sniffing left and right.

Xu Le hugged his fists and said: "Shi Youyi ...... you"

Shi Bao waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, are you hiding here to drink?"

Are you really looking for trouble?

Cai Hengwen had already touched the dagger on his waist, Su Ming clenched his fists, and Wang Dengke's face turned pale. Xu Le glanced back at them, signaled to calm down, and then said lightly: "This time is not a marching battle, and drinking alcohol is not strictly forbidden, right?

Shi Bao snorted and squeezed in. Xu Le didn't stop him, just to see what this leopard head wanted to do. With Shi Wuju here, presumably he didn't dare to make too much trouble.

Shi Bao glanced at a wooden water cup on the table in the cabin, copied it in his hand and sent it to Xu Le's nose, and just shouted: "I care about you so much, and no one asks if you like to soak in water and drink." It's just marching and fighting, how can you bear it without drinking two sips at night in the Western Wilderness? But the eldest brother and A-Yao don't drink a drop of wine, so they have no taste in their mouths. I came to find the wine when I smelled it............ Still stunned what to do, full of full!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not long after, the cabin was a mess of cups and plates. A few boxes of canned food for Shi Bao to eat alone didn't count, and he opened two more listens. A bottle of blue light of the sea was opened, and another bottle was opened, but only the bottom of the bottle remained.

What made Xu Le feel slightly despised was that Shi Leopard's alcohol consumption was not as good as his own, and he was already crooked and fell down at most six or seven taels of white, although he spoke quite clearly, he was obviously a little out of four or six.

I think back then, after playing basketball, I drank a table of livestock, and I didn't vomit until I returned to the dormitory!

Shi Bao took another sip, and actually made a snorting sound, and then bared his teeth and spit out a mouthful of wine: "This wine is pure! Is it a good product from Du Cheng? He is reluctant to take it out if you invite me." He has figured out my foundation, and he can't spend money, but you are a rising star, and his natal true yuan is so pure, he doesn't spend some money to explore the details? What good things will he take out from him in the future, but don't forget me, when the time comes, I will take care of you more in the Yi'er Army, and it will be evened...... The meat in this iron box is also fragrant, how the hell did you get it out? These Qi people are all kinds of weird things!"

Xu Le's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that today's private goods were worth spent. I have already mentioned it in my heart, but I still have a tone of all over the world: "What am I, that day there was a gambling fight on the streets of Nanshi, if it wasn't for Shi Youyi's release of water, I would have been lying there." Where is it worthy of Du Cheng's attention? This natal true element is just like this, where can we talk about purity?"

Hearing Xu Le say these tentative words, except for Su Ming's slow reaction, Cai Hengwen and Wang Dengke are both human spirits, where do they not know what the boss means, and silently took out a bottle of Sea Blue, I only hate that I didn't bring the Red Star Erguotou this time, otherwise I poured fifty-six degrees of alcohol, and I was afraid that Shi Bao would not take out all the hearts and nests?

Shi Bao saw that Xu Le's private family was very knowledgeable and interesting, and he gave a thumbs up first: "Refreshed!"

Then he opened his leopard eyes again, and the smell of wine sprayed Xu Le's face: "How did your master teach you a martial artist? There is a great avenue between heaven and earth, and the vitality is the foundation of all things." Sensing the vitality of heaven and earth, it is introduced into the body, turned into the natal true element, and forms a cloud gate in the chest. It is the first realm of the forging body level, and it is the beginning of the martial artist's journey! The five realms of the forging body level, for normal martial artists, are all about gradually turning the heaven and earth yuan qi into the natal true element, and tempering their own muscles and bones with this natal true element, so that they are far beyond ordinary people - whether it is strength, or speed, or reaction, or perception!

The natal true element is accumulating day by day, and it breaks through to the fifth realm of qi sea in one pass. The true element has been cultivated to the limit. Breaking through the sea of qi, the natal true element periphery and the whole body, penetrating deep into the muscles and marrow, and completely reborn...... At that time, it was another realm, that is, the step of washing the marrow. It's me, and now I can't hope to break through the sea of air!

Generally speaking, when it comes to the stage of purifying the marrow, it is possible to talk about refining and refining the heaven and earth vitality that is mixed with various properties contained in it. The first to the point of being tangible is the condensation of the true element. If we go one step further, we will endow this tangible true element with quality, that is, we will have the power of the five elements! At this point, we can truly be called the strong man of Donghua! The entire Qin State natal true yuan has reached the point where there are only a handful of people who have the power of the five elements, that is, Ah Yao, don't look at her Gengxin sharp qi has become a small success, far above me, and she only sees a little bit of the door realm, and it is still far away! And my eldest brother, at the age of twenty-six, Gengxin sharp qi has been cultivated to the point of being unbreakable, and has stepped into the second realm of the marrow washing stage!

For normal martial artists, the cultivation path is like this. However, there are always people with unique endowments, or people who are not good at cultivating the Fa - for example, the Gengxin spirit of our Qin State. It may be possible to start refining the Pure Natal True Yuan at the level of forging the body, but this can only be done in the fourth and fifth realms. It's like me, when I stepped into the fifth realm of the forging body, I began to polish my natal true element, and I had this shootless shot...... But what about you kid? At most, the third realm Zhongyuan is already condensed and tangible, who do you say can not pay attention to you? Du Cheng sent you good wine, and even the eldest brother took you on the same boat, what kind of foolish are you pretending to be in front of me?"

Shi Bao is really a young man who has no scheming, he said a lot of things cracklingly, and Xu Le blinked with the smell of alcohol, but he didn't dare to be distracted at all, and listened carefully to Shi Bao's words.

Many doubts about his own strength in his chest had to be solved because of Shi Bao's words, but more questions came up.

The air mass in his chest turned out to be called Cloud Gate...... He should also be the first realm of this forging level, not yet the third realm that Shi Leopard said. How could Zhenyuan refine and refine so pure that even Shi Bao was ashamed of himself? What kind of amazing exercises, he had never even heard of Donghua's most superficial cultivation techniques!

Xu Le and Cai Hengwen exchanged glances, and motioned for Cai Hengwen to fill Shi Bao with another glass.

"Several of my brothers and I are all runaways, and our cultivation journey is not over. I'm confused about everything now...... How did Shi Youyi know that I was in the middle of the third realm? How can I cultivate to become stronger, can Shi Youyi point out a path of cultivation? You know, now that we have joined the Shi family, we will all fight side by side under the banner of the Yi'er Army in the future, and I also ask Shi Youyi not to hide and ......."

In order to make a joke, not only all the private goods were used, but the good wine was constantly poured for Shi Bao. Even the last thing he wanted to join was the rebel army, Xu Le was cheeky and already considered himself a member of the rebel army.

It's rare to talk at night in the boat, and it's rare to touch Shi Leopard's second goods. Temperance or something, just floating clouds.
