Chapter 81: Take a Look in the Mirror
Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the river on one side, Fengzhou is the transportation hub of central Daqi.
It's very prosperous.
Merchants and ships are very dense, and the state's waterways are also well-connected.
So, after Zhou Heng came to Fengzhou through the Starlight Bridge of Ziwei Palace, he did not go directly to Rongdu Mansion to find Yun Chong and He Mengqiu, but took a merchant ship and traveled along the waterway.
What he wants to cultivate is the way of the five virtues, which is the path of all things in Paul, and he not only needs to practice hard and collect the qi of the five virtues, but also needs to look at the natural scenery and investigate the principles of humanity.
Moreover, he still lacks two of the five virtues, holy virtue and yin virtue.
Although Zhou Heng has a plan to collect these two, he still needs to accumulate them carefully on weekdays.
And both of these are about people.
If you are alone, you can't accumulate holy virtue and yin virtue, so you still have to get along with others more.
......
Ronghua River is a big river in Fengzhou, which belongs to one of the tributaries after Tianfeng River flows out of Fengzhou, which is mighty and mighty, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, and reaches Rongdu Mansion directly.
There are hundreds of boats competing on the river, and there are many merchant ships and passenger ships, which is very lively.
The merchant ship that Zhou Heng took was a medium-sized cargo ship, mainly transporting melons, fruits, vegetables and fresh meat, which was not very valuable, so it did not exclude guests from taking a hitchhiker.
Because Zhou Heng has a very high appearance and a gentle temperament, he quickly became acquainted with these boatmen, and learned a lot about the customs and customs of Fengzhou along the way, and also heard a lot of strange things that he didn't know before.
It was very helpful for him to increase his knowledge.
After a tense period in the Southern Jin Dynasty, such a trip can be regarded as a good relaxation for Zhou Heng.
In particular, the soup and pancakes on this ship are delicious.
Let Zhou Heng find the feeling of life when he was on earth.
At that time, he would often go to the soup restaurant opposite the school gate to eat something like that for breakfast.
Also, the soup and pancakes are free.
Don't want money.
In fact, Zhou Heng originally wanted to spend money to buy it, but the boatmen didn't agree, thinking that no one wanted to put it outside the boat, and he couldn't eat it at ordinary times, so how could there be a reason to collect money.
In addition, Zhou Heng's disguised identity is still a student who travels, but he has a little self-defense martial arts, and he doesn't have much money, so the boatmen are even more reluctant to accept his money.
Zhou Heng didn't bother with this, when he got off the boat, he just quietly left them some money.
In the early morning of this day, Zhou Heng asked for a bowl of soup from a familiar boatman, which was covered with a layer of bright red oil, which looked very attractive.
With five baked cakes in his hand, he found a wooden board on the deck to use as a table, put the soup on it, and ate it one bite at a time.
Flattered.
"Alas, Xiao Zhou. He Dacheng, a boatman, also came over with a bowl of soup and said in a low voice: "When you arrive outside Rongdu Mansion at noon, you can get off the boat." ”
"Purr...... What?" Zhou Heng took a sip of soup, and after swallowing it, he looked at He Dacheng suspiciously, "What's the matter, didn't you say before that you would go to Rongdu Mansion City and then go down?"
Fucheng is the center of a prefecture, and it usually takes a while to walk up after entering the scope of the prefecture before you can reach the prefecture.
"It's not that we don't want to send you there. He Dacheng lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday, the bow of the boat stopped for a while on the side of the reeds, do you remember?" ”
"Yes. Zhou Heng nodded and said, "I remember that there seem to be two people coming up, a man and a woman?"
"You're observing. He Dacheng sighed and said, "It's these two people, originally the bow of the boat was to see that the two of them were in a pitiful hurry, and agreed to let them spend some money to take a hitchhiker, but I didn't expect ......."
"Do they have evil intentions?" Zhou Heng said in surprise when he heard this, and at the same time dispersed his divine sense, instantly enveloping the entire ship, and also discovered the location of those two people.
"These two men hijacked the bow of the ship and told us to turn around outside Rongdu Mansion and head to the county seat of Toyoju. He Dacheng said in a low voice: "No one knows the purpose of these two people, but we can't ignore the safety of the bow of the boat, Xiao Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with you, you better get off the boat early." ”
For boatmen, the bow is not only an employer, but also a big brother they admire, a lifesaver who is willing to take them in and give them a livelihood when they are poor.
The long-term drift on the waterway has given the boatmen and the bow a relationship comparable to that of a friend of life and death, and now that the bow has been hijacked, the boatmen will naturally not give up.
"Lao He, what are you going to do?" Zhou Heng gently put down the soup in his hand, broke the baked cake little by little, and put it in the soup.
"Of course it's fucking him!" He Dacheng had a fierce expression on his face, and said: "Xiao Zhou, don't look at my old He He usually doesn't fight, but we are also close to the master of the ninth grade, and we know a lot of martial arts." ”
"The bow of the ship is a seven-rank martial artist. Zhou Heng smiled.
"Yes, yes......" He Dacheng seemed to realize something, his expression darkened, but then he cheered up again, "There are many people and great power, those two guys are not big people in the secret six products, there are many of us, we can always pile him to death." ”
"However, those are the two secret six products. Zhou Heng shook his head slightly, stood up, and looked at the cabin not far away, "The two martial artists of the secret six grades are holding ordinary cargo ships hostage, and they are also specially diverted to Fengzhou County, no matter how you look at it, there are problems." ”
"Huh??" He Dacheng was a little stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Heng with a puzzled face, "Xiao, Xiao Zhou, aren't you a scholar who goes out to study? How do you still know so many things about martial artists." ”
"The book told me. Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Since I want to travel thousands of miles, I naturally have to read ten thousand books first, and there are martial arts principles in the books, Lao He, you can also read more books in the future." ”
"Come on, our family knows our own affairs, my brother can practice his skills, and he will be exempted from studying. He Dacheng shook his head again and again, "Don't say it's reading, even if I see more than ten words put together, I'm dizzy."
"By the way, don't mention this, Xiao Zhou, since you read a lot and know martial artists, is there any way to deal with those two...... He, are they really martial artists of the Secret Six Grades?"
He Dacheng still felt a little incredulous.
Secret Six Grades!
For ordinary people, this is a big man who can enter and exit the Qing Ming and fly to the sky, and he can be the master of the mansion in a place where he can be the head of the house, how can he appear here, and hijack the bow of the ship.
It's incredible.
"There is indeed a solution. Zhou Heng smiled and took out a black mirror from his arms, handed it to He Dacheng, and said with a smile: "Old He, if you can trust me, take this mirror over and take a look at the two of them." ”
