Chapter 19: Jiang Yuxian
The two of them went all the way south along the south city gate, and they came to the edge of the Menghe River only a few miles away, but at this time there were only fishing boats and small merchant boats on the river.
"Strange, this is the place Lin Qing said. Why are there only fishing boats and merchant ships? Lin Xin looked at the river dozens of meters wide in front of him and was a little confused.
"If there are really ghosts on the ship, that's normal, these ghosts are probably afraid of the sun." Mo Yang touched it with his right hand and said. At the same time, within a kilometer of the radiation of the power of divine consciousness, nothing was found to be wrong.
"Then we didn't come for nothing." Lin Xin was a little annoyed.
"It seems that it will be until the evening, and I don't know if the group of Lin family children can last until the night. If it's really a ghost, I'm afraid I can't save it. Mo Yang had some regrets.
"Hey, these men really have nothing to do with what to do and what kind of fun they are looking for. Mo Yang, you can't do that. Lin Xin said as he stared at Mo Yang with murderous eyes.
Mo Yang was stared at with murderous eyes and felt a little bad: "How is it possible, don't think too much, I definitely won't be such a person." I only have you in my eyes, rest assured. ”
"You said it." After hearing Mo Yang's words, Lin Xin put away his murderous eyes and replaced them with innocent and lovely eyes.
This made Mo Yang embarrassed for a while, a woman's face changes so quickly, it's really unpredictable. It's too hard.
"Then let's find a place to wait until it gets dark, and pray that they will live until dark." Mo Yang hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Mo Yang, look, there's a teahouse over there, let's go over there and sit and wait for dark." Lin Xin looked around and saw that there was a roofed thatched hut not far from the river in front of him, with a big tea word hanging in front of its door.
There are four or five Eight Immortal Tables in the room, each table is polished, it can be seen that the boss is careful, at this time it may be the reason for the morning, there is only a woman in a light blue dress in the teahouse, with long hair fluttering, ice clear and jade, Dai eyebrows slightly wrinkled, at this time holding a cup of tea and tasting carefully.
Mo Yang's divine sense scanned the past and found that this woman was also a monk, and her cultivation was not shallow, and she actually had the cultivation of the eleventh layer of Qi cultivation. This made Mo Yang frown slightly, and secretly paid attention.
Outside, there is an old man dressed in sackcloth, with gray hair, burning firewood in front of the boiler, although he looks not young, but his skillful movements are inexplicably comfortable.
Lin Xin pulled Mo Yang and trotted all the way, "Uncle, come to a pot of tea." ”
"Okay, let's do it a little bit," the old man heard this, and turned around and smiled at the two.
The two of them casually found a table to sit down, and after a while, the old man held a tea tray with a pot of tea and two ceramic cups on it, and gently put it down, and after saying a word of slow use, he returned to the boiler and continued to be busy.
Mo Yang looked at the old man, and only felt that the old man was a little strange, every movement seemed to be very regular, every step was the same size, and the position of every hand was the same, as if it had been measured.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Xin saw that Mo Yang had been looking at the old man, and he was a little curious.
"Xiao Xin. Do you think that this boss, the distance of each step is the same, every time you raise your hand, every movement is the same, as if it has been measured? Mo Yang whispered to Lin Xin.
"It seems like yes. This boss can't be obsessive-compulsive, right? Lin Xin said with a frown after looking at it.
Mo Yang's divine sense was quietly released, and he carefully glanced at the old man several times, but he found nothing else, which made Mo Yang secretly keep a heart: "Boss, do you know that there is a painting boat on this Meng River?" ”
"Painting boat, on this Menghe River, there was only a painting boat last month, and I think this is what the little brother is looking for. But at this time, it is still early, and the painting boat will come out every time the moon is in the sky, and the little brother is a little early. After hearing Mo Yang's question, the old man continued to be busy with the work at hand without replying, but he replied unhurriedly.
"Oh? Did you just open it last month? I wonder if the boss knows where this painting boat comes from? Mo Yang said after hearing this.
"If you want to talk about this painting boat, I remember that it was at the beginning of last month, and that night there was a very big pink mist on the Meng River, which is also strange. The old man has never seen a pink mist so big, and the fog comes and goes quickly, but the time for a stick of incense will dissipate, and after the fog dissipates, there will be an additional painting boat on the Meng River. The boss slowly turned around and walked to the table for the two, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and said slowly.
"Speaking of this painting boat for the old decay of such a small trader, but it is also a fortunate thing, in the past when there is no painting boat, the sky is dark, there are few people on the side of the Meng River, but since this painting boat came, at night, the city of dignitaries, the sons of the family will be in an endless stream." The old man was a little embarrassed, "By the way, last night, the eldest son of the Lin Mansion took a group of sons and brothers to the painting boat." ”
"Boss, did you see them come out?" Mo Yang asked.
"That's not true, the little old man will collect the stall and go home every day, at that time the sons did not come out, I think it may be the second half of the night to go back, after all, this painting boat begins to dismiss guests every day as soon as it gets dark, which is also strange." The old man shook his head.
"Okay, thank you, boss." Mo Yang smiled at the boss, took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to the old man.
The old man hurriedly thanked him, and then returned to the boiler and continued to boil tea leisurely.
"Two fellow Daoists, I guess I'm here to investigate the matter of the painting boat." The woman in the blue dress at the table next to her gently put down the teacup and said slowly.
"Yes, I don't know you?" Mo Yang was just about to speak, but Lin Xin on the side glanced at the woman and hurriedly said.
"Jiang Yuxian in the Xia Yuqing Sect, I don't know what the two of you call them?" The woman smiled slightly and said lightly.
"It turned out to be the senior sister of Yuqing Sect, the younger sister Lin Xin of Taiqing Sect, and this is my junior brother Mo Yang." After Lin Xin heard that he was a disciple of the Yuqing Sect, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly recovered and said as before.
After all, although this place is remote, it still belongs to the sphere of influence of the Taiqing Sect, and this Yuqing disciple has to be wary of one or two when he comes here. Although it is said that the Taiqing Yuqing and the Shangqing, the three sects have the same root and the same origin, but after all, it was more than a thousand years ago, and in the more than 1,000 years of this separation, there are still a lot of open and secret battles between the various sects.
"It turned out to be too clear and high-minded, and he was polite." Jiang Yuxian got up and arched her hand and said.
"Senior Sister Jiang is also here to investigate this painting boat?" Lin Xin said with a slight smile.
"Yes, a few days ago, my master and I passed by this place, and found that the yin qi here was extremely heavy, so he sent me here to check until yesterday evening. It turned out that the source of the yin qi was the painting boat on the Nameng River. Jiang Yuxian frowned slightly.
"Oh? I wonder why the Commander let you investigate alone? Mo Yang asked.
"Shizun thought it was too troublesome to take me, so he went to Taiqing Sect alone, and asked me to come here to investigate and practice before leaving." Jiang Yuxian smiled slightly helplessly.
"What else do you say that I can meet a noble person here who changed my life, I am speechless," Jiang Yuxian complained speechlessly in her heart
"Hehe, Ling Shizhen is also temperamental." Mo Yang smiled slightly
