Chapter 259: On the way
After Zheng Yu said goodbye to two friends after the banquet, he came out to the Wangzhou Inn, originally he agreed to meet Yan Yuming here, but when he arrived, he didn't see anyone, guessing that something had happened, so he simply meditated and practiced while waiting here.
In the early morning of the next day, Yan Yuming finally came, and as soon as he saw him, he apologized: "Originally, it was good to meet Uncle Zheng yesterday, but Uncle Fan took care of me to send a few disciples from Qianzhou back to my hometown, but it was too late, Uncle Zheng don't blame." ”
Zheng Yu said: "Senior nephew Yan is doing the right thing, is there anything else that Senior Nephew Yan has to do? If not, let's go visit Mr. Zhang today." ”
Yan Yuming said, "Uncle Shi wait for a while. ”
He turned around and went out, and after a while, he walked in with a beautiful girl with a petite figure and a very quiet look, with a distinctive bamboo sword hanging from her waist.
Yan Yuming said: "This is Senior Sister Jiayue, she has also been instructed by the teacher before, this time Senior Uncle Fan asked Senior Sister Jiayue to go with us to meet the teacher." ”
Jiayue saluted Zheng Yu and said, "I've seen Uncle Zheng." ”
Zheng Yu said twice, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Master Jiayue's nephew doesn't need to be polite. ”
After coming to Qingyang for such a long time, he had actually seen Jiayue, but the male and female monks were usually practicing separately except when they were listening to the Fa, so they had never crossed paths before.
Yan Yuming said: "Uncle Shi, let's leave now?"
Zheng Yu snorted and said, "Gwangju is south of Wangju, we will set off now, and we will be able to arrive before evening at the latest." ”
Yan Yuming said excitedly: "Just listen to Uncle Zheng's arrangement." ”
Zheng Yu saw that the two of them had no opinion, so he withdrew from the guest house and took the two of them to the largest flying boat berth in Gaoping County in the car arranged by the guest house.
All the Xuanxiu who walked outside with the Xuanfu edict would be borne by the Xuanfu, and this time they were replaced by the Wanming Daoists, holding the serious edict in their hands, so when they arrived at the platform, the three of them just took out the road sticker list, and the station manager immediately arranged for them to go to the south on a small flying boat.
Yan Yuming sat down on the comfortable cabin chair, looked down from the angle of lifting the ground high, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really convenient." ”
Jiayue also nodded.
But they didn't know that this level of convenience had only gradually emerged in the past six months.
Because the Xuanfu was full of Taoist sects in the past, and there was almost no contact with the world, and the two mansions deliberately downplayed the existence of the Xuanfu, so if Xuanxiu wanted to come by flying boat in the past, the officials in charge of the boat would never be so easy to speak.
The flying boat will definitely be arranged for you, but it's hard to say when it can be dispatched for you.
And it is precisely because Zhang Yu has unified the internal and external Taoist factions for several years, assisted the army to pacify the Frost Continent, and finally exterminated the creation stand-in, which revitalized the prestige of the Xuanfu, which made the officials below dare not make any small moves.
There were about thirty people on board the small flying boat, and after the three of them were seated, two more groups of guests came up, and the flying boat took off with half of the seats empty.
After about half a summer of travel, the ship left the southern part of Wangju and entered the territory of Gwangju.
Although Zheng Yu and the three of them have been in Qingyang Shangzhou for several years, they are all here for the first time, and they are also quite shocked to see the dome bridges flying to Lianzhou County in the clouds and mist, as well as the Gwangju City that sits on the horizontal branches of the big green banyan tree.
Sitting next to them sat a handsome man of about forty years old with a neat beard, and when he saw them like this, he smiled and said, "Three of you have come here from the far continent?"
Zheng Yu said: "Yes, we are from the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate. ”
"The East Court Protectorate?"
The handsome man's expression moved, he looked at the three of them again, and thoughtfully, he gestured to the servant beside him, who immediately took out a famous note.
He took it and handed it to the three of them, and said, "I have a manor in Lintai County, Gwangju, called Jaejin Garden, and if the three of them don't have a suitable place to stay after arriving in Gwangju, they can go there." ”
Zheng Yu declined: "Thank you for this gentleman's kindness, the three of us have our own places to go, so we won't bother." ”
The handsome man was refused, but he didn't move, smiled, and posted his name on the table next to Zheng Yu's handrail.
When the flying boat stopped, the middle-aged man stood up, smiled at Zheng Yu and the others, and said, "The three of you are destined to meet." As soon as he could get up, he dismounted from the flying boat with his attendants.
After seeing him leave, a delicately dressed middle-aged man suddenly let out a sigh and said to Zheng Yu and the others: "Three, you missed a good opportunity, do you know who that one is?"
Yan Yuming was curious: "Who?"
The middle-aged man said in an exaggerated tone: "That's Mr. Zhu Xin, he is Zhou Mu's wife's uncle! He does a good business on weekdays, and what is especially valuable is that he never treats people as noble."
But he never put on a show, and was willing to ride in the same boat with us laymen, tsk, Mr. Zhu Xin was willing to befriend the three of them, what a good opportunity it was, but unfortunately the three of them were missed in vain. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head again and again, as if he was feeling sorry for them.
After Yan Yuming listened, he just sighed, and then turned his head sideways to look at the scenery outside the window with great interest.
The middle-aged man looked at it, but he didn't find any regret and loss on the faces of the three people, and he unconsciously stopped talking.
After half a summer of speeding, the flying boat stopped on the rooftop of the boat above Gwangju, and on the square of the inner platform of the boat, there was still a private insect boat driving.
After the middle-aged man walked down, he looked back and saw that Zheng Yu and the three of them seemed to be discussing something there, and no one came to pick them up outside the week, so he said loudly: "Where are the three of you going, I have a boat here, and I can take the three of them for a ride." ”
Zheng Yu sighed and thanked him: "Thank you for this gentleman's kindness, we can find it ourselves." He raised his sleeve and arched his hand, "Sir, we're going to say goodbye." ”
The middle-aged man also subconsciously raised his hand to return a salute, and then he saw that Zheng Yu and the three of them each burst out with a ball of light, but after a flash, they raised the high dome, and then flew away into the sky in his stunned gaze.
In the south of the continent, in a certain Hun Xiu station.
Ying Yuan walked into the hall made of black jade, where the ground and walls were all shining, but under the jade like a flat mirror, there was a faint flickering black fire.
In the middle of the lobby, there is a semi-circular wooden frame covering an area, which is full of cute but small and delicate clay dolls, but none of them are the same, each one presents a different look and shape.
He walked to a place where there was still a vacant seat, took out two clay dolls from his sleeve and placed them on them, looked at them twice, and walked out.
It was only before he left, on the wooden frame opposite, that two clay dolls jumped down, jumping up and down behind him, and trying to pull the hem of his robe.
His steps paused slightly, and his scarlet eyes swept back, and the two dolls seemed to be startled, and quickly dodged behind the shelf, and when they carefully probed out to observe, they saw that he had already gone far.
Ying Yuan stepped out of the inner hall and came to the front of the main road of the station, when he saw a flying boat slowly descending from the sky and stopping on the roof of the boat not far away.
The hatch opened, and Yang Gui walked out with a disciple from the inside, and came to him all the way, raised his hand, and said, "Ying Daoyou, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Ying Yuan didn't speak, his scarlet eyes looked at him a few times, and he also raised his hand.
Yang Gui didn't care, he said: "Ying Daoyou, did you see all the books I came to before?"
Ying Yuan said calmly: "I've seen it." ”
Yang Gui asked, "So, Ying Daoyou, what do you mean?"
Ying Yuan said: "I am not ready to return to the continent. ”
Yang Gui sighed and said, "Ying Daoyou, you might as well think about it again, after the factions inside and outside the Xuanfu were merged into one, I heard that the prefectures and counties in the preparation area were set up branch offices, but as far as I know, almost all the people designated here are Xuanxiu, where does this put my cultivators who cultivate Hun Zhang?"
Ying Yuan said lightly: "What does it have to do with me?"
Yang Gui looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then raised his head and said: "Ying Daoyou, I'll just say it straight, I heard that you and Zhang Xuanzheng are both from the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate, and there seems to be some friendship in the past, if Ying Daoyou is willing to come forward to say ......"
Ying Yuan said calmly: "Yang Daoyou, please go back, I can't help you." With that, he turned and walked away.
Seeing him like this, Yang Gui's disciple couldn't help but be angry and said, "Teacher, this person has given you a little affection, so why should we beg him? The teacher might as well contact those fellow Daoists and ...... together."
Yang Gui interrupted him and said, "No, you don't understand. He took two steps forward and said in a loud voice: "I, Guanying Daoist, should be close to taking that step, right?"
Ying Yuan's footsteps paused slightly.
Yang Gui took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice: "My generation's cultivation, the higher you go, the more you need the divine organ refining medicine to neutralize, but Daoist friends should also feel it, now that you are collecting more divine organs, it is almost impossible to cross to the fourth chapter book completely uninfected."
I have been here thirty years ago, but I have rarely done anything with anyone in these thirty years, because each move deepens the infection of the Great Chaos.
If you want to completely eliminate the infection, unless you have the superior skills, then there is the secret refining medicine of the higher level of supernatural organs that will neutralize it.
And these two things, no matter what, are not what Daoist friends can do alone, and the only thing they can rely on is Xuanfu!"
Speaking of this, his tone slowed down a little, "If Daoist friends are willing to come forward this time, I and all of you are willing to promise, if there is a chance to obtain a superior treasure medicine or secret method, we can not take it first, and give the first opportunity to Daoyou!"
Ying Yuan turned his back to him and said, "I have always asked for the Tao only for myself, and I never need charity. After saying that, the black fire smoke on his body floated, and then he disappeared.
