Chapter 1 Descending the Mountain in White

Next Chapter

Tianlin Yongxing nine years, Yangzhou Longyuan County, Qi'an Ferry.

In the barren mountains and streams, dead trees and weeds are overgrown, and a young man in white staggered down on the extremely bumpy and rugged mountain forest path.

As an old boatman who has been picking up passengers at Qi'an Ferry for many years, Old Man Li can naturally see that this young man in white who staggered down from the barren mountains and wild streams in a hurry was not simple.

For although the white garment worn by the young man in white was covered with thorns and scratches, and his clothes were in tatters, there was no scar on the skin of the young man in white. And although the face of the young man in white was stained with dust and dirt, the hairband on the young man in white that was used to tie his hair was not scattered for half a minute.

Although it is dirty and messy, its temperament is not reduced.

Therefore, Old Man Li's perennial eyes can naturally know that something is wrong with this young man in white.

"Wait a minute, old boatman!"

When Old Man Li heard this shout, he looked around. There were not many boats anchored at Qi'an Ferry, but Old Man Li knew that this young man in white who came down from the barren mountains and wild streams was talking to him, but unfortunately Old Man Li didn't want to cause trouble today, so Old Man Li planned to ignore this young man in white.

And just as Old Man Li loosened the rope on the wooden stake next to the ferry port and was about to leave in advance, a slender, very powerful, and very uninteresting palm suddenly grabbed Old Man Li's wrist, making Old Man Li's hand unable to untie the cable.

"The old ship's family won't leave alone without passengers, right?"

Although the young man in white was dusty and dirty, his eyes were extremely clear, just like the clear water of the Lingfeng River on this Qi'an ferry.

Of course, it was not the clear eyes of the young man in white that made Old Man Li hesitate, Old Man Li's habits were normal, he was only interested in the women in the green building in the south of Changqi City. It's just that the heavy silver in Old Man Li's hand suddenly became heavier, which made Old Man Li inevitably a little difficult to move.

Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts.

He, Old Man Li, is just an ordinary man, and the heavy silver in his hand is enough for Old Man Li to lie down for a day and a night in the gentle countryside of Qinglou in the south of Changqi City, which is also enough for Old Man Li to ignore the troubles that the young man in white will bring.

Or maybe the young man in white won't cause trouble?

Old man Li had a hint of luck in his heart.

"I wonder where Mr. is going?"

The wrinkles on Old Man Li's face were crowded together, like a crumpled chrysanthemum, but this wrinkled chrysanthemum was smiling very brightly at the moment, and it was like a stinky face from before.

"Changqi City. ”

The slender palm of the young man in white was released from Old Man Li's wrist, and his body subconsciously moved, but he stopped without a trace, and turned to Old Man Li and said.

"Changqi City is a good place, as long as Mr. doesn't go to Najia'an Village. ”

Old man Li glanced at the movements of the young man in white, his ears moved slightly, and when he heard that the young man in white said that the name of the place was Changqi City, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his body sideways, and left a place for the young man in white to step on the deck and board the boat.

"What do you mean by that?"

The young man in white raised his eyebrows and asked with interest in his heart.

"I don't know which uneasy and kind-hearted little rabbit cub released rumors on the rivers and lakes, saying that there are rare treasures hidden near Yanlong Mountain in Jia'an Village, which has caused many martial arts people in the rivers and lakes to gather in Jia'an Village. It's a pain for us boatmen who are adrift on the Lingfeng River. It's good to meet people in the martial arts who are good at talking, but if you meet those who are not good at talking, it is a trivial matter not to pay the boat fare, and I am afraid that my life will be lost!"

Old man Li sat on the bow of the boat and shook his head and sighed, and glanced at the young man in white thoughtfully, and his heart sank.

"Sir, you're not a martial arts person, right?"

The young man in white waved his hand and chuckled, "What I hate the most is martial arts people, my surname is Su, and I am from Yingchuan County, Luozhou." ”

"Sir, is he really a reader?!"

Old man Li's eyes were suddenly shining, and he had always heard that there were the most people reading in Luozhou, and there was a saying that 'there are more celebrities in the world, more than half of Luozhou'.

"This ...... Sort of, barely. ”

When the young man surnamed Su in white talked about this topic, his face seemed to be a little stiff, and he coughed a few dry words, and then agreed.

Old man Li rolled his Adam's apple, wiped the yellowed sleeves of his washed clothes with both hands, and returned the broken silver given by the young man in white just now with some nervous hands.

"Then I wonder if Mr. can help me with that?"

"No, you can't. ”

The young man in white replied very decisively this time.

Because the young man in white knew that some things were usually trivial matters if they were said first and then requested, but it would not be trivial if they were usually asked first and then spoken.

Because of the promise, there is no room for repentance.

"Mr. ......"

"It seems that the boatman has made a lot of silver taels today. ”

A stout and burly hand flashed in front of the young man in white, interrupting the conversation between the two, and at the same time, the big hand suddenly took the broken silver from Old Man Li's bony hands, and said with a loud laugh in a deep voice.

"It seems that the old boatman's harvest is good today, go to Jia'an Village quickly, don't miss the big thing!"

The owner of this big hand had a face full of flesh, threw a few copper coins from his bosom on the deck, and then put the broken silver he had just seized into his bosom, with no guilt on his face.

And more eye-catching than the expression on the face of the meaty owner, and the sturdy figure that caused the ship to sink suddenly, was the large axe he carried behind his back.

The blade of this strange big axe is golden yellow, oozing cold light, and the handle of the axe is even more patterned, which is intoxicating.

This is not a simple big axe.

The young man in white narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering in his heart, the young man in white, who was not very easy to attract attention, narrowed his clear eyes that could attract attention, and the young man in white became easy to ignore in an instant.

It's a pity that no matter how easy it is to be ignored, it is just easy to be ignored, and it can be noticed by people with a heart after all. Besides, if you are troublesome, you will always find yourself at the door.

"Make room for the master. ”

When the young man in white was about to close his eyes and recuperate, he was out of sight and out of mind, when suddenly a sour smell came to his face, and then the deafening voice of a strong man with a big axe sounded in the ears of the young man in white.

There was not a lot of space on the board, and the canopy was even more empty, and it was clear that the stout man was looking for fault.

It's just that what the sturdy man didn't expect was that the young man in white moved his ass to the side a few times, as if he was a little afraid of him.

"Bad goods!"

The stout man frowned and spat on it, only thinking that the slight movement of his mind just now was an illusion, he no longer glanced at the young man in white who looked weak and threatless compared to him, and walked towards the canopy alone.

"The boatman is on his way!"

Immediately after that, the strong man's deep voice came from the canopy, Old Man Li's fingers trembled, and his trembling hand bowed to the young man in white to apologize, untied the rope, propped up the boat, and was about to drive the boat away, when a hearty laugh came from the other side.

"Why don't you wait a little longer?"

Old man Li closed his eyes tightly at this time, and sighed in his heart, he went out today and looked at the yellow calendar, but the yellow calendar did not tell him that he was destined to commit Tai Sui today!

"Wait for your mother...... Leg ......"

Before Old Man Li could say anything, the sturdy man in the canopy had already rushed out impatiently and shouted, just roaring and roaring, and his raised tone suddenly became mute.

"Phnom Penh Axe, Flower Pattern Flag, I think Your Excellency is the Golden Axe Flower Lang Fang Xuyuan?"

The man in Tsing Yi, who held the bow deck lightly with one hand and made the ship immobilized, asked with a chuckle.

The man in Tsing Yi smiled like a spring breeze, but the sturdy man named Fang Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything, and walked back to the canopy directly.

The reason why Fang Xuyuan did this was that the jade pendant hanging on the waist of the man in Tsing Yi was a dragon and a phoenix on the jade pendant, and a word was engraved in the middle.

Break off.

There are people in the world who have such jade pendants, and they are all people that Fang Xuyuan can't offend.

But Fang Xuyuan also had a throbbing in his heart, and even such a legendary figure came here, indicating that the rumors of the rivers and lakes that Jia'an Village had rare treasures were not necessarily false.

"Heavenly Jade?"

The young man in white also looked at this man in green with a graceful temperament, and muttered in a low voice.

But he didn't expect that this sound as thin as a mosquito and fly was also heard by the man in Tsing Yi.

"Your Excellency's vision is good, this is indeed a peerless jade. Under the surname Lin, the name is Yi, I don't know who your Excellency is?"

The man in Tsing Yi, who claimed to be Lin Yi, had a slight force on his fingers, and he pulled back the boat that was slightly floating on the shore, ignoring the old man Li who was about to row to the shore and opened his mouth wide, his posture was like a crane, and he slowly walked up to the bow of the boat and asked with a smile at the young man in white.

"Your surname is Su, a native of Yingchuan County, Luozhou, you are a fake jade this day, right?"

The young man in white lazily did not get up to return the salute, and said sarcastically with narrowed eyes.

Lin Yi didn't pay attention to the sarcasm of the young man in white, but looked down at the young man in white, the smile on his face dissipated a little, and he didn't say a word to the young man in white, but walked straight into the canopy.

"Unlucky. ”

The young man in white sighed slightly in his heart, he walked all the barren mountains and wild streams by himself, and the sheep intestine trail was just to avoid trouble, but it seemed that he couldn't avoid trouble today. However, the two of them, including the ship's owner, were a little strange.

There is a saying in the rivers and lakes that wealth is not exposed, and the strange big axe and the strange jade pendant are enough to make people take risks. And this sturdy man who called himself Lin Yi and Fang Xuyuan didn't care about these things that could make people in the rivers and lakes excited.

As for this old boatman, it seems that he is quite afraid of trouble, but in fact, this old boatman is intentionally or unintentionally actively attracting trouble, in fact, the young man in white also had palpitations when he went down the mountain, so he chose this boat.

The young man in white turned around and sat on the edge of the boat, quietly looking at the river, which was rippling, reflecting the face of the young man in white.

Clear eyes, thin lips, and a high nose bridge, even though they are covered by gray dirt, the young man in white looks very mean and indifferent when his face is expressionless.

"Brother Feather Star!!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the road on the shore, followed by a very crisp shout.

It's all here today.

The young man in white collapsed on the board, staring blankly at the cloudless sky with his eyes, pursing his lips and lamenting helplessly.
