What is it like to be a saint?

Chapter 214 The Clever Use of Geng Jin

A few days later, Cao Guo River was on the way.

The Qin fleet moved forward slowly.

In the distant river, a law net quietly rises.

Dozens of monks appeared on the river.

"Stop those who come!" A monk wearing a doctor's robe, holding a hammer-like magic weapon, stepped forward and said: "By the order of Lord Qi, all ships leading to the 'bandit area' must be inspected by us." !"

"Bold!" Bailixi stood on the deck of the bow, drew out the dharma sword worn at his waist, and flapped his clothes and armor: "I am the doctor of Qin State, and I am sent to Chu State by the order of Duke Qin!"

As he spoke, the battleship behind him raised black battle flags.

A number of monks and warriors from the state of Qin in black armor left the warehouse one after another.

Everyone glared at the doctor.

"Get out of the way of the river!" Bailixi said loudly, "Otherwise, you will be blaspheming Duke Qin!"

"Duke Qin is furious, can you bear it?"

Seeing that, the doctor hesitated.

Duke Qin?

Although the countries in the Central Plains generally look down on Qin.

The Qin people in Xichui lived together with the two clans of Liches, and even interacted with Asuras.

In the eyes of the immortal descendants, the bloodline is already impure!
What's more, the state of Qin was not granted by King Wu, but by the order of Duke Zhou.

It is an anomaly in itself!

however……

Like Chu, the people of Qin have hard fists!

Most importantly, Qin and Jin are now allies.

Offending Qin is tantamount to offending Jin!
In addition, Qin's population kept saying that they were going to Chu as an envoy.

If the king of Chu is offended, that would be bad!

The contemporary king of Chu has a violent temper!
And he is old!

The old King Chu, in order to maintain his status, will fight back hard against anyone who dares to provoke him!

The people around the King of Chu will also resolutely safeguard the authority of the King of Chu!
There will be no step back!
The doctor took a step back immediately, cupped his hands and said: "Forgive me, the envoy of Qin, we are acting on the orders of Duke Qi..."

"I also ask the envoy to be calm and not to be impatient, stay here for a few days, and wait for us to ask Duke Qi for instructions..."

"What nonsense!" Baili Xi said holding the sword, "If you want to fight, then fight!"

"I, Qin people, are never afraid of war!"

Beside Baili Xi, Zhao Dun said at the right time, "Here is Zhao Dun from Jin Kingdom!"

"Do you want to go to war with our Jin allies?"

"It should be noted that a war against Qin is a war against Jin!"

Now, they didn't dare to stop them anymore.

He could only obediently get out of the way of the river and let the Qin fleet pass safely.

No way, I can't afford to mess with it!
The fleet continued to move forward, sailing out of the Cao State River, from Taoqiu to the east, breaking through several Qi State's water blockades all the way, and heading straight for the Lu State.

No one dares to stop it!

Soon, they crossed the entire blockade and reached the border between Xue State and Lu State.

Ahead, there is sand and water.

"How far is it?" On the deck, Zhao Dun asked anxiously.

"Soon!" A compass in Baili Xi's hand floated.

The pointer points forward.

This is a treasure that has been refined before departure.

It can point to any definite place in the world, so that you will not be afraid of getting lost.

While speaking, the warship under his feet suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?" The two looked out at the same time.

All he could see was that the huge hull of the warship he was on had crossed a very obvious boundary.

Ahead, the river was gurgling and crystal clear.

Countless fish swim in groups among the aquatic plants.

A strip of koi, mixed together.

White finless porpoises and pink finless porpoises are playing in the riverbed.

And behind them, the river was muddy, filled with mud and sand.

Even the river banks on both sides have different scenery.

The river bank on Xue Country's side was bare and lifeless.

On the opposite side, on the embankment, willows hang down on the water.

The grass grows, the warblers fly, and the vegetation flourishes.

On the sky, countless birds formed a team and flew south.

Birds and beasts fly south...

In a season like this?

Baili Xi swallowed, he didn't know the background, he only knew that his grandson was there.

But I also understand that it can attract birds and beasts from all over the world, and fly south in summer against their nature.

There can only be one reason: sage Bude, Ze and birds and beasts, Mao and vegetation.

Zhao Dun took a deep breath, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "I don't know if Shuo'er has earned a place in front of the master?"

The fleet sailed through this section of the river and turned into a rapid.

There are traces of the road ahead.

On the road, both Zhao Dun and Baili Xi saw a crowd of people in twos and threes moving forward along the road.

They are all mortal.

Ragged and skinny, looking from a distance, it seemed that he might fall to the ground at any time.

But they insisted on moving forward and walked firmly.

"These are the 'bandit' thugs that the people of Qi call, right?" Baili Xi asked.

"En!" Zhao Dun nodded. As a doctor of Jin, Zhao Dun is very clear and has been paying attention to the affairs of the East.

Because he knows who is the Lu State in the east?

Therefore, Zhao Dun understood that Duke Qi not only blocked the water traffic to Lu.

Also on land, a blockade was imposed.

Major roads are closed!

Therefore, there is only one way for mortals to go to the country of Lu—adventure at night, and travel through the complex dense forests and deep mountains among Xue, Song, Cao, Lu and other countries.

Smuggled from the road and trekked here.

It is said that people from Xue, Song, Cao, Ju, Ji, and even Qi, Wei, Zheng, and Guo all walked these trails constantly, venturing through mountains and dangerous roads, crossing swamps and deep pools, to "Liu County".

Not just mortals.

The Shui Clan and the Monster Clan are also moving southward.

One after another, death never follows!
Even though the coalition forces have already announced: "cooperating with bandits and troublesome people" killed without guilt.

They even sent monks and warriors to hunt down the fugitives.

But to no avail.

Escapes are still happening!
It was reported that often one person in a village started to flee.

Soon the whole village began to flee!

Even if they knew that fleeing would be a narrow escape.

But still keep going.

This information was sent back to the state of Jin, and everyone in the state of Jin believed that this was an exaggerated statement by the people of Qi.

No one believed it at all!
It was even considered to be a conspiracy by Qi State.

But now... seeing is believing.

"Master Sage in charge, indeed, he has passed down orthodox traditions in the Lu Kingdom..." Zhao Dun thought in his heart, "As expected of a sage in charge!"

"You must be punished!"

Directly spread Taoism in Lu State.

This is blatantly stepping on the face of that master from the upper realm!
only……

Zhao Dun still doesn't understand why mortals are like this?

You know, apart from him and his father, perhaps only Qin Gong knows the origin of the Shangxian of Lu Kingdom?

What is the purpose of mortals going forward like this?
Just as he was thinking, a huge eagle monster appeared in the sky ahead.

The hawk apparently spotted the mortals who walked the ground.

He quickly approached, with huge wings covering the sky.

Seeing this, Zhao Dun and Baili Xi began to worry about those mortals.

Bailixi even held down the dharma sword at his waist.

But he saw the Eagle Monster swooping down and falling rapidly.

however……

Bailixi looked carefully, the eagle monster's target was not any of the mortals.

It's on the side of the road not far from those mortals, and it doesn't look like hunting at all.

"What's the situation?" Baili Xi didn't quite understand, he couldn't understand the eagle monster's behavior.

He had to prick up his ears, use his supernatural powers, try his best to listen, and at the same time dilate his pupils to observe carefully.

However, the eagle monster landed in the wilderness beside the road, then folded its wings, and then shouted to those tired and panicked mortals: "I am Hui Yu on the nearby Qianlin Cliff, my honorable guests! But tired?"

"As long as fifty sticks of incense are pulled, I can send you to the nearest immigrant village..."

"Guest officers, do you want to sit down?"

In his hand, he even shook his neck, revealing a wooden sign hidden in the feathers: "Guest officers, take a look... look!"

"Permission issued by the Committee of All Beings to carry people from the poultry monster clan!"

"Safe and reliable!"

When people look at this huge monster and spit out their words, they are a little scared.

Watching from afar, not daring to approach.

The eagle monster was not surprised, he said at the top of his voice: "Guest officers, don't be afraid!"

"You are now within Mr. Liu's protection!"

"Since you dare to come, you must have heard the legend of Liu Shen!"

"With my 1 guts, little demon, I dare not do evil under Mr. Liu's nose!"

"Everyone, don't worry..."

"As long as fifty strands, fifty strands of incense, I promise to send you to the nearest immigrant village!"

"The food is already cooked there, hot water and clean new clothes are ready!"

"Early to eat early, early to open up wasteland, early to farm!"

He looked at those mortals, seemed to be still hesitating, seemed to think of something, and gritted his teeth: "Forty strands! Forty strands!"

"Guest officers, forty wisps per person!"

"Grey Feather, I am free to carry people today!"

"Guaranteed to be fast and good!"

"Thirty strands...thirty strands..." He became anxious: "Twenty strands, twenty strands are ready!"

At this time, there was a gurgling water gushing on the river.

Whoa!

Huge fish tail, slapping the waves.

A huge monster with a length of three to five feet floated up from the river.

It is a huge finless porpoise.

Then another one emerged from under the river bed.

Zhao Dun and Baili Xi could clearly see that the bodies of these two water spirits were covered with scars.

In addition to their stature, there is a strong blood.

Obviously, this is a pair of water monster brothers who once crossed a certain river and did all kinds of evil!
Seeing these two appeared, the eagle monster sighed helplessly: "The starving ghost is here again!"

Then he flapped his wings and shouted to the mortals: "Ten strands! I only want ten strands of incense!"

"I will send you to the nearest immigrant village!"

"It's puppies who lied to you!"

The two finless porpoise brothers who came out of the water just sprayed out a jet of water, completely ignoring the eagle monster, and then looked at the mortals on the shore, and the slightly older one said in a low voice: "Guests, please sit on the finless porpoise!" ?”

"Our brothers can send guest officials to the nearest village for free!"

"As long as the guest officials can take care of our brother's business more in the future!"

The smaller one followed suit: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Guest officers, our brothers may have done it!"

"Digging mud and catching fish are both good hands!"

He glanced at a few children in the crowd, and immediately lit up: "There are also young masters and ladies..."

"If you go to school in the future... our brothers are willing to take care of the daily pick-up and drop-off!"

"really!"

"We swear to Mr. Liu!"

Baili Xi and Zhao Dun looked at all this, listened to the words of the water monster and the eagle monster, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

When did monsters stop eating people and change their luck?
When did the water monster become so talkative?
Willow County...

What happened to the land of 'bandits' in the mouths of Qi people?
At this moment, on the river in front of him, a golden figure rode countless water splashes and galloped towards him.

"River God..." The two finless porpoises stepped aside immediately, respectfully.

The eagle monster quickly bowed its head like a human: "Hui Yu has seen the river god!"

Baili Xi and Zhao Dun looked at each other.

Then he watched the 'river god' getting closer.

When you come to it, you will manifest the entity.

The golden stream of morality lingers around the body of this god.

Under his feet, the clear river was constantly surging.

In a pair of divine eyes, there seemed to be a pool of clear water surging.

A long halberd in his hand manifests infinite power!

Lingbao!

It was actually a spirit treasure!
Judging by its charm, I am afraid it is the best among acquired spirit treasures!
"Qin doctor Baili Xi..."

"Doctor of Jin State Zhao Dun..."

"I've seen the river god!" The two hurriedly bowed their hands together.

The river god looked at the two of them and said, "By the decree of the Heavenly Lord, the river god Li Shisan came to welcome the guests!"

"Guests have come from far away to work hard, please follow the little god to the nearest county town, rest for a while, and then go to Liucheng tomorrow to pay homage to the Heavenly Venerable!"

Zhao Dun and Baili Xi hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you, God!"

The river god turned around and opened the way ahead.

When he passed by the mortals on the bank, he turned his head and said to the eagle monster: "Are you just trying to deceive people again?"

The eagle monster lowered its head and muttered in a low voice: "How can it be considered a lie?"

"The deal you want and what I want..."

"Doing business... earning incense... not shabby!"

The river god shook his head, ignored him, and just said to those mortals: "Everyone can sit on the finless porpoise, don't worry, this brother is a bit ugly, but he has some credibility in the Shashui River!"

The two aquariums immediately shook their tails and shouted loudly: "Guests, please come up!"

"Don't be afraid, our brothers are ugly and ugly, and we work very hard!"

"In the future, if there is any matter of digging mud and catching fish, just ask!"

"Our brothers promise to do better than others!"

On the deck, Baili Xi and Zhao Dun were dumbfounded.

………………

Xu Ji slowly opened his eyes.

In front of his eyes, a fleet appeared, sailing in the shadow of the Shashui River.

In the cabins of the ship, there are sitting giants wearing human costumes, but with huge bodies and eyes like eagle pupils.

Just looking at them, Xu Ji knew that this was a branch of the Wu clan.

The Wu Clan on Qishan Mountain.

There are hundreds of them!

He showed a happy expression: "Finally, there are coal miners!"

These hundreds of witches should be able to form a small iron smelting workshop in Liujun before he left.

With iron, then steel is not far away.

What's more important - Xu Ji stretched out his hand lightly, and grabbed a piece of iron ore that he had found earlier.

Gently apply force, and the Geng gold in the iron ore is extracted.

Then it melts and deforms rapidly.

In the end, a piece of pig iron appeared in his hand, he kneaded the pig iron casually, and then added Na Gengjin to it.

Thus, a piece of alloy metal comparable to Blue Star appeared in his hands.

High temperature resistance, wear resistance!
