Chapter 19 The Hundred Flowers Boat
Listening to the tea boss talking farther and farther, Mo Datong's face was slightly red, and he quickly interrupted his words, "The shopkeeper is promoted, I am a rough person, I don't know poetry, wouldn't it be humiliating to go there?"
When the tea boss heard this, he looked at the sword next to Mo Datong, so he immediately changed his words and said: "In the next word, the son is a person who seeks immortals, how can he be compared to those scholars......?" It's still good to go and see the excitement, have you seen the people who are following behind the scholars? They all go to see the excitement, this kind of talent and beauty thing only happens once a year, isn't it a pity to miss it?"
After the tea boss finished speaking, he didn't say much, and retreated, busy with his own work.
Bai Canghai came to Mo Datong's side and continued to ask about some things about the Baiyue Flower Boat.
Mo Datong didn't hide it, and told all the things he had heard about the Baiyue Flower Boat.
Baiyue Flower Boat, formerly known as 'Baiyue Boat', is called 'Baiyue Flower Boat' because it is sailed from Baiyue Country.
It is said that there are hundreds of beautiful women on this ship, so it is called "Hundred Flowers".
The ship travels once a year, passing through the three kingdoms of Baiyue, Nanyan and Hanhai, and then sails into the vast sea, where it is nowhere to be found.
At each passing place, the ship stays for three days.
As long as the scholars and talents in the place they pass can pass the test of the girls on the ship and obtain the approval of the girls on the ship, they will be honored to board the ship and spend a good night with beautiful women.
Unlike the Qinglou woman who was chosen by the guests, the woman on this boat chose the person she liked in reverse.
Those who are selected by them do not need to spend a penny, they can enter the gentle township and experience the elegance of the wind and snow.
As a result, the Baiyue Flower Boat immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone, and many people dreamed of being able to board the ship.
It's a pity that it's not easy to get on this ship.
Because the conditions for the girls on the ship to choose Ruyi Langjun are very harsh, they don't even look at their appearance, height, shortness, fat and thinness, nor do they look at their identity background and the amount of money, let alone the strength and special ability of martial arts, but only look at the literary brilliance of the comers.
As a result, the vast majority of people were turned away, and only those scholars and talented people were lucky enough to board the ship.
This makes it difficult for many people to understand, because this time is a world that emphasizes martial arts and light literature.
In this world, the status of literati is very embarrassing, they have not been able to embark on the path of martial arts, that is, they have lost the possibility of cultivating to become immortals, and their status is slightly higher than that of those farmers and merchants.
If they can't become immortals, they can only work hard in this mortal world for the rest of their lives.
But those who practice martial arts are different, they have a better way to go, if they can break through the acquired and reach the innate level, they will have a trace of the possibility of immortality.
Compared with the opportunity to attain immortality, the glory and wealth of mortals for decades have fallen behind.
Therefore, in this world, only those who are not physically fit or from poor families who cannot practice martial arts will delve into knowledge and follow the path of the literati.
This Baiyue Flower Boat only values the talents of scholars, but the rest is ignored, so it will be incomprehensible to people.
Baiyue Huachuan did this, but it was an excellent thing for those scholars and talents, and it invisibly gave them a sense of glory beyond the status of martial artists.
Therefore, whenever the Baiyue Flower Boat comes, these scholars and talented people will flock to it, and they will simply see whether they can board the Baiyue Flower Boat as a scholar in the imperial examination.
There are many legends about the Baiyue Flower Boat.
Some people say that the women on the ship are all fairies who descend to the earth and return to the fairy world after enjoying the world, while others say that the women on the ship are all demon maidens, who came specifically to absorb the yang energy of the scholars.
After all, legends are just legends, some people believe it, some people don't.
The only thing that makes people feel strange is that those who have boarded the Baiyue Flower Boat have never mentioned anything about the ship after returning, which adds some mystery to the Baiyue Flower Boat.
......
After listening to Mo Datong's words, Bai Canghai's eyes lit up, and the thoughts in his heart suddenly changed.
He had been thinking about whether he could blend in with the crowd and then blend in with them when they returned to the town.
Because Bai Canghai had just found out that after the white-bearded leader was woken up, he didn't embarrass these people, but easily let them go with a wave of his hand.
Now after listening to the information of Baiyue Flower Boat, Bai Canghai's idea suddenly changed.
In his mind, instead of going to the town to hide, it was better to go to the Baiyue flower boat to be safe.
Not only could the flower boat allow them to hide, but the three of them could take this boat and travel along the waterway to Zhongnan Mountain.
Moreover, this ship is very safe, it is a ship from Baiyue Kingdom, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Nanyan Kingdom, even if it is known that the three of them are hiding on it, I am afraid that there is nothing they can do about the three of them.
If you think about it, the relationship behind this ship's ability to pass through the three countries and travel every year must be extraordinary, and it is unknown whether it may really be a safe haven for the three of them.
Thinking of this, Bai Canghai stood up and said to Mo Datong and the little county lord: "Let's go, let's go and see the excitement too." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go, those people are going to go away. The little county lord was obviously also interested in the Baiyue Flower Boat, and after listening to Bai Canghai's words, he immediately pointed to those people who were far away and shouted.
Mo Datong was speechless, and secretly said that we are running for our lives, how can we still be in the mood to see this kind of excitement? I just wanted to reprimand Bai Canghai for a few words, but I saw Bai Canghai say to the little county lord: "Why are you so excited? Let's go to that boat, but for the sake of those beautiful women, are you also good at this?"
"Get out of ......" was so angry that Bai Canghai almost vomited blood, and the little county lord was about to fight, but he heard Mo Datong say: "What do you mean, do you want us to hide on ......the Baiyue Flower Boat?"
Seeing Bai Canghai nodding in confirmation, Mo Datong immediately shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work." It is rumored that there are innate masters on the Hundred Flowers ship, if I sneak on the ship with you, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape their eyes at all, and if someone is blocked on the ship, it will be even more dangerous......"
"Who said that you were going to secretly get on the boat?" Bai Canghai said with a smile: "Let's go up in a dignified manner and let them invite us on the boat, won't there be no trouble?"
"Just us?" Mo Datong shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this.
He also wanted to board the Baiyue Flower Boat in a dignified manner, but the rules of the Baiyue Flower Boat were there, even if he was a congenital master, if he couldn't pass those tests, it would be difficult to board the ship.
I remember that two years ago, when Mo Datong was on a trip, he happened to meet a Baiyue flower boat in a place.
At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he also wanted to give it a try, so after dressing up in disguise, he also mixed in a bunch of scholars and talents.
But the result made Mo Datong very embarrassed, he had a good talent in martial arts, but he was unsatisfactory in poetry and calligraphy, and as a result, he was made fun of by almost everyone as soon as he opened his mouth, and finally left alone with a shameful face.
It's just that this troubled matter, Mo Datong has never told anyone.
Because of the reasons he had personally experienced, he knew how difficult it was to get on the Baiyue Flower Boat, even for those scholars and talents who had studied hard for ten years, it was not easy to get on this ship.
At least Mo Datong knew that he himself would not be able to board the ship under any circumstances.
As for the little county lord, although he is smart and clever, and he has also studied in the palace for a few years, he is afraid that he is still inferior to those scholars.
It's Bai Canghai, but Mo Datong is a little uncertain, although Bai Canghai gives him a rather mysterious feeling, but he still doesn't think that Bai Canghai can rely on his own strength to board the Baiyue Flower Boat in a dignified manner.
"Can you get on the boat and go and see?"
Bai Canghai ignored Mo Datong's thoughts, and after sweeping away the remaining refreshments on the table, he urged the two to leave the tea shed.
The three of them chased in the direction from which the men had left, and after walking for about three miles, a budding plum forest appeared in front of them.
Crossing a path in Merlin, a large river appeared in front of the three of them.
The name of this river is called the Red Dragon River, and legend has it that there was a red dragon flying away from it, hence the name.
The river is more than 10 meters wide, and there is a wharf on the bank, and there are many large and small boats moored in the wharf, which seems to be very lively.
One of them, a red, green, and green flower boat decorated with many silks, is particularly eye-catching.
There is no doubt that this ship is the Baiyue flower ship that Mo Datong said.
Bai Canghai looked up, only to see that the ship was as high as a two-story building, and the hull was all wooden structure, with carved beams and painted columns, antique, and very elegant.
It's a bit inappropriate to say that it's a boat, it's more like a small building floating on water, but it's a little more agile than an ordinary small building.
There are four triangular red flags around the horns of the boat, and a white peony flower is embroidered on the flag, and when it flies in the wind, there seems to be a trace of fragrance escaping from it.
The hatches of the flower ship were all closed, and the sound of the piano came from it, accompanied by a few women's chuckles, which made people inevitably have a hint of wanting to board the ship to find out.
And the previous scholars were gathering on the shore where the flower boat was located at this time.
As for those who watched the excitement of all kinds, they consciously stood behind these scholars, hoping that the stories of talented and beautiful women would be staged soon.
