Chapter 68: The Canal

There are many outlets in the West Lake, but the only way to accommodate a large boat like Yingyue Tower is the Jiuqutong Lake waterway located next to Zhaoqing Temple.

Groups of refugees traveled all the way south from the Central Plains to the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, just to escape the war and seek a stable life.

In the face of a large number of displaced people, Zhaoqing Temple opened the mountain gate widely, accepted everyone, donated food and clothing, and saved everyone in danger. Later, the war gradually subsided, after people's lives settled down, everyone came to rebuild the mountain gate for Zhaoqing Temple, and then gilded the body, Zhaoqing also and Lingyin, Faxi, Jingci and called the four ancient temples of Qiantang.

Midnight is approaching, only the faint candle flame is swaying in the mountain temple, the tide rising in the river is slapping on the rocky beach on the shore, the bright moon is gradually sinking in the west, the insect song has also stopped, everything is silent, how can there be any big ship.

"They didn't go in this direction, where will such a big ship go?" Qingya and the two chased them along the waterway for more than ten miles, but there was still no trace of the painting boat.

Qingya's mind kept recalling the conversation he had heard in the cave before, hoping to find clues from it.

Jinling City!

Next month, they will continue to go north, go to Jinling City to continue their operations, and now that something has gone wrong, they must have gone north overnight in advance.

And from Qiantang to Jinling, the road they will definitely take is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Although it is unclear how they drove the boat into the canal, this waterway was the only way, and they must have been there.

"Sister Qing'er (Qingya): Let's go to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal." Coincidentally, both men spoke their judgments.

In the earlier era of the war a thousand years ago, the princes rose together, the heroes competed for hegemony, and countless romantic figures competed for the Central Plains. The Grand Canal began with the ditch dug by the Wu State for the Northern Expedition to the Qi State, and was greatly expanded after the heyday of the previous dynasty, starting from Qiantang in the south and reaching Luoyang in the north, and now it has become an important traffic between the north and the south.

At this time, on the vast water, a huge ship was sailing north at full speed, the hull of the ship had removed its usual luxurious decorations and bright lights, and the oars at the stern of the ship were spinning rapidly, like a black giant beast running on the water.

"But how did two little dolls in the middle of foundation building look like this?"

"Don't hide it from the elders, the cultivation of these two people is not high, but the Dao method is extremely powerful, and the weapons in their hands are all heaven-level and above, and I don't know which sect of disciples they are, such a big show."

At this time, Zhong Yan, who was seriously injured and fled, had no worries about his life under the treatment of the elders in the sect, but due to the damage of the origin fire and the loss of too much essence blood, he no longer had the cultivation to build the peak of the foundation.

The man who was called the elder was dressed in a dark red imitation Taoist robe with a red fire cloud pattern, a Tai Chi bun with a red coral hairpin on the top of his head, and a standard goatee, but he had the appearance of a fairy wind bone.

"Elder, you are a Jindan monk, even if they have the ability to reach the heavens, they are definitely not your opponents, why are we in such a hurry?" The person who questioned him was the Holy Spirit of the Church.

"Our mission in Qiantang City is nearing the end, and there has been too much noise recently, and we can't help but be targeted by people with intentions, according to Zhong Yan, those two must be disciples of the Heavenly Fall, if it's just the two of them, it's okay, but if any of the imperial leaders come down, then we will all have to sink to the bottom of the West Lake."

In the hall of the Reflecting Moon Building, the backbone of the Wildfire Holy Sect sat opposite each other, talking about the next matters, while the Holy Maiden was worry-free, but she could only stand aside tremblingly, with her head bowed and silent.

"Holy Maiden, have you ever seen these two people in the Reflecting Moon Tower?" The elder glanced at him and asked questions.

"Back to the elder, there are many people coming and going in the building, and I don't remember it, but I don't think the two of them are amazing, and they are definitely not the opponents of the elder and the Holy Spirit." From beginning to end, Wuwu did not raise his head to reply, and his tone was like a puppet with a string, without any emotion.

"I used the Great Spirit Array to teleport this ship from the waters of West Lake to this Grand Canal, and it was in vain that I spent months arranging the formation, they must not have expected ......it."

Before the elder could finish speaking, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently as if it had hit something.

"What happened, how was the voyage going?" The elder asked the helmsman in the cockpit.

"Report to the Elder, we have been attacked, and there are people in the rear who are chasing our ship."

"Could it be that they caught up, how could they be so fast, how many people came?" In a panic, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became tense, and Wu Wu lowered his head and clenched his fists, as if he was a little nervous, but no one would notice her at this moment.

"There were only two people who came, a man and a woman, both sixteen or seventeen years old."

"Hmph, I don't even take the old man in my eyes, today, let this young man who doesn't know the height of the sky feel the strength of the Jindan monk."

After learning that there were only two people on the other side, the elder's confidence instantly rose.

"Pass my order, remove the escort array, no one is allowed to interfere, and wait for the old man to come and meet these two young people who don't know the height of the sky." It can be seen that the elders are full of confidence at this time.

As soon as the words fell, the roof above everyone's heads was cut in half by a sword light, and the so-called large ship escort array had already dimmed, looking out along the big hole in the roof, two monks, a man and a woman, were walking in the sky, looking at everyone condescendingly, it was the two Qingya and Hua Qing'er who were pursuing.

"Everyone, don't come unharmed, where are you going in this hurry?" Qing Ya raised the long sword in his hand slightly, pointing directly at the people below, the cold light above the blade of the Qing Ying sword flickered, and the majestic sword qi was ready to go.

"Wantonly looting the people's money and bringing Qiantang's economy to the brink of collapse, do you want to leave?" Hua Qing'er stepped on the green lotus, and the double swords in her hands turned into two lotus flowers, spinning in her palm like a nebula.

"Arrogant boy, try the knife in the old man's hand first."

I saw that the elder rose to the sky, holding a slender blade in his hand, and at this moment the flames on the blade were swirling, and soon, the flames on the knife suddenly spread to the elder's whole body, and at this moment he rushed towards the two like a bomb. I saw him swing his sword and stand up, and nine flame long knives with a height of more than ten zhang appeared behind him, which was different from the phantom sword phantom cast by Qingya, which was a real physical flame knife.

This is exactly the realm manifestation of the Jindan monk, turning the spirit into form.

Quartet harmony.

Qingya lightly buckled the jade pendant on his waist, and a light purple light curtain instantly opened, surrounding the two of them, and the rapid fire hit the light curtain with ripples. The nine long knives slashed down one after another, but the thin layer of light curtain did not have the slightest effect.

Then, bursts of blue lightning swept across the light curtain, and as soon as the electric light met the burning flames, it instantly seemed to detonate explosives, blowing the elder over and over again, and falling solidly towards the deck.

With a click, the wooden deck could not withstand such a violent impact, and a hole was knocked out of the face, but fortunately this was the highest level of the ship, so it would not be broken through and leaking.

It is worthy of being a treasure passed down by the real person in charge, and this harmony jade is really transcendent.
