Chapter 143: Moyun Tower
After listening to Ma Xingzhou's words, He Qianshan understood that the reason why he was in a hurry to leave was because he didn't want to lose his friend, and he was moved in his heart, so he said: "Old Ma, it's really difficult for you!"
But Ma Xingzhou changed his words and said: "But, my old Marco said ugly things in front, I don't care what you have to do with that Qianjue, if you really protect him, you will break off your friendship with me!"
"Old Ma, don't worry, I still say the same thing, as long as he does it, if you don't do it, I will clean up the portal myself!"
To be honest, He Qianshan had no intention of protecting his shortcomings.
It would have been fine if Qianjue had just stolen the secret book and abandoned the temple regardless of the life and death of his fellow disciples, but his various actions later were enough to show that what Master Hongye and Master Zhixin said were true!
This man is indeed violent and ruthless, and he has no regard for human life in order to achieve his goals!
If even the head of the Yangtze River faction was killed by him this time, then he, the head of Wanmu Temple, really can't leave him to do evil!
"When Shaozhou delivers the goods, I will go to Lishui in Guizhou with you!"
Ma Xingzhou took a sip of wine and said suddenly.
He Qianshan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on, he was going to get Qianjue!
"Old Ma, still can't you trust me, brother?"
"No, you also know that I have a deep relationship with Master Jiang, and I can't stand by and watch the matter of revenge!"
He Qianshan nodded in understanding.
"However, old horse, if you are looking for a thousand uniques, you must not fight with him alone!"
Ma Xingzhou said with some disdain: "What's the matter, I'm afraid I'm not his opponent?"
He Qianshan was silent, but he did mean this.
Ma Xingzhou's martial arts are also high, but he is by no means a thousand enemies!
Ma Xingzhou patted He Qianshan on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, I'm not stupid!"
This thousand can definitely kill Master Jiang, even if the sneak attack is successful, the martial arts will be above me, and I will not look for death!
What's more, he may not be able to reach Lishui!"
"Oh?
"Aside from the eight thousand brothers of my Yangtze River faction, as soon as the order to chase and kill the rivers and lakes with ten thousand taels of red is issued, countless masters of black and white will definitely crouch on the roads to Lishuidu, what chance do you think he has to survive?"
......
The fleet left Dongting Lake, invested in the water and went south, arriving at Shaozhou Wharf two days later, three days earlier than planned.
Shaozhou officials were very happy and immediately began to count and receive.
Although the timber was slightly lost on the way, He Jingting had already taken it into account, and the final delivery volume even had a surplus!
After handing over the timber to the government, Ma Xingzhou asked the fleet to pick up the return goods at the wharf, and then returned to Zizhou on his own.
He himself, He Qianshan and Zhao Duxue, got off the boat and headed for Guizhou in the southwest.
Guizhou has a Ling Canal, which leads to the two rivers of Hunan and Li, and is an important town that connects the sea area in the south and reaches the Central Plains in the north.
The crystal clear Lishui passes through the city from north to south, meanders and flows into the Xijiang River.
On the day when the three of them arrived in Guizhou City, it happened to coincide with the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the city was very lively.
Although it was still daylight, every household was already preparing for the evening's activities.
The Lantern Festival is still wrapping, but the fragrance of the stuffing has already spread......
Well, this is the ...... of osmanthus candy This is the ...... of peanuts and sesame seeds Sweet, fragrant, and mouth-watering!
The busiest people on the street are the lantern makers who make and sell them.
They have all kinds of lamps, large and small, hanging, lifting, and putting, all of which are beautiful and exquisite!
There are also a few long lantern dragons perched on the side of the street, lifelike, ready to swim at night!
There are also gongs, drums, and stilts on the side, so you can imagine the hustle and bustle of the night!
However, except for Zhao Duxue who can fully experience the festive atmosphere of this foreign land, He Qianshan and Ma Xingzhou all have their own thoughts, and they have no interest in the festival!
Although it was still early before the agreed day of Moyun Tower, they still headed straight for the Lishui Ferry.
The three of them were all coming for the first time, and they asked all the way, and came to the north-east of the city, at the confluence of a fork in the water.
Before the ferry crossing, the first thing that came into view was a tall and spectacular building on the corner of the riverside street.
The highest part of this building is afraid of being 30 zhang away from the ground, it occupies the southeast corner of the street, and goes more than 10 zhang to the east and south!
The main body is divided into nine layers, and the size of the roofs on each floor is staggered and overlapped, and the corners are flying, like a group of phoenixes spreading their wings!
Vermilion walls, green tiles, carved railings and painted columns, exquisite doors and windows!
Isn't this the Qionglou Yuyu sung in the song?
The three of them invariably said "wow"!
Looking at the three golden characters on the huge door plaque: Moyun Building!
Moyun Tower, the place of Moyun Tower!
He Qianshan couldn't help muttering, this Moyun Pagoda is so public, and it is said to be the most mysterious place in the martial arts?
"It turns out that this is Moyun Tower!" Ma Xingzhou seems to know this place!
"Old Ma, do you know here?"
"I've heard Master Jiang mention it before, saying that it is the front station of Moyun Pagoda, and you can stay here with Moyun Ti.
I thought it was an inn, but I didn't expect it to be so bold?"
The three of them looked east towards the riverbank in front of this Moyun Tower.
I saw a wide stone embankment, stretching far into the river, and there were large and small ships moored nearby, constantly loading and unloading passengers, loading and unloading goods.
It's the Lishui Ferry!
The three of them went to the ferry first, and they didn't find anything special, and they didn't see any people in the martial arts!
This is expected, after all, there are still more than ten days before the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month!
So the three of them went back to the Moyun Tower to see what it was.
Just as he was about to enter the building, a young man in a green brocade robe trotted out to greet him.
"How many people, do you have a post?"
It seems to be a guy who welcomes guests, but in terms of guys, the dress is too bright.
He Qianshan took out Moyun Ti from his bosom and gave it to him.
The guy took it and looked at the front and back, and then returned it with both hands.
"Are you all together?"
"Yes!"
"Do you have a small amount of luggage?"
"Not really. ”
"Okay, please come with the little ones!"
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they were immediately shocked by the magnificence in front of them!
Under the feet is a paved gold-glazed floor tiles, shiny like a mirror, the whole figure is reflected in it, and every hair can be seen!
The beams, pillars, tables and chairs and counters seen are all made of one color green dragon wood, which is elegant and luxurious!
The upper part of the hall is hollow, without a floor separation, and leads directly to the roof. A huge glass lamp that is more than a foot round is hung from the top of the building, hanging full of fist-sized water jade beads, dazzling as the sun, illuminating the whole building with golden brilliance!
He Qianshan and the three of them have all seen the world, but they still can't help but exclaim "wow" in their hearts!
But when He Qianshan looked at it, he always felt as if something was missing!
"The shopkeeper's ...... Shopkeeper!" The guy was shouting to a white-bearded gentleman in the cabinet.
The shopkeeper is also wearing a green brocade robe, and he is leaning back on the chair with his hands arched and napping!
"Visitor," the guy shouted.
