Chapter 86
Before leaving for Yunxuezong, Ji Que made a lot of preparations, such as maps, dry food, clothes, and how to keep his banknotes.

All in all, it was a big decision to go.

Since Ning Hongyu brought 8000 taels of silver notes, Ji Que was overwhelmed, and the remaining part of the Qianji Sword was completed, leaving 6000 taels.

It is equivalent to saying that his sword cost him a full 6000 taels of silver because of some special materials and craftsmanship.

Now that I think about it, Ji Que can't help but feel the pain. There is an illusion that there is a mouse hole in his clothes, and he keeps taking money from him.

It can only be said that the cultivator's business always burns money. If he didn't make a simple sword, how could he have the illusion of playing with watches and cars, and otaku playing with figures.

As for the silver notes and land deeds hidden in the depths of the cellar, Ji Que was still a little worried, and couldn't help complaining to Lin Xiangzhi while eating: "Alas, I really don't love silver, but after I have it, I don't. Happy.

Looking back now, the happiest time was when I was a poor scholar and my family was turning over and over for less than ten taels of silver. "

Lin Xiangzhi ignored him and looked at him with contempt.

On the same day, Ji Que packed his luggage and took Lin Xiangzhi out the door.

One person and one cat followed the Qing Canal to Xichengmen Pier.

According to the route, it is most convenient for them to go to Yunxuezong by boat.

At this time, it was afternoon, and misty water mist appeared on the wide river, and there was only one passenger boat left at the pier to the area of ​​Yunshan Sect.

Yunxuezong is a famous cultivation place in the north, occupying the blessed land of the cave, and has a profound background.

If you take the dry road, it will take four days for a fast horse, but if you take the water route, you can reach the shallow rocky beach in front of Yunxuezong in two days and two nights.

Ji Que didn't like to ride horses in the first place, and he was in a state of accumulation of understanding, so he resolutely chose to take a boat.

This big ship won't be stunned, will it?
There are about 20 guests on this boat, and most of them are chicly dressed in feather fan scarves.

Ji Que is also not surprised. According to the dossier information, the tenth day of this month is the day when Yunxuezong recruits people.

But the recruits are not disciples, but handymen.

These people are so exquisitely dressed, obviously they are here for the sake of immortality.

Yunxuezong is a holy place for cultivation, and it is full of handsome brothers and sisters. I don’t know how many people are fascinated.

Many young masters and young ladies are willing to be servants. In addition to gaining the hope of becoming a disciple, even the sect servants have a much higher status than ordinary people.

Mrs. Bai's previous statement was correct. The status of the sect monks of the famous sects in this great prosperous dynasty is by no means comparable to a scholar.

Therefore, everyone on this ship can be regarded as a competitor.

Ji Que, because of his handsome appearance, made these people take precautions as soon as they got on the boat.

As we all know, Yunxuezong attaches great importance to a person's appearance.

Among them, the two most outstanding-looking sons secretly glanced at Ji Que, and both gave birth to the feeling of "this son's appearance is not inferior to me."

No, after looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but secretly startled and said, "This child's appearance is a little more attractive than mine."

At the back, they dared not look again, for fear that their hearts would be affected.

At this time, the big ship started slowly.

Ji Que did not go to the cabin to rest, but stood on the deck to watch the scenery.

It was the first time he had been on such a big boat since he was so big.

Before departure, the boat boss took out a pig's head as usual, put incense candles, worshipped the river god, and prayed for a smooth journey.

As a result, just after the worship was over, the sail was raised, and a muffled thud was heard on the deck.

I saw a fallen eagle at the feet of the last scholar who boarded the boat. The ground was smeared with blood, and two drops even splashed on the scholar's clothes.

Ji Que looked at this scene and murmured, "It's really unfortunate. What is this, the Syrian Eagle?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at him in a strange way, and he pretended not to see it.

The eagle fell off the deck and died, what does it have to do with me?
The eagle that fell to death was quickly disposed of by the lingering boatman, and the blood on the deck washed away quickly.

Ji Que regretted it until the eagle was thrown into the river and washed away.

I don't know what this eagle meat tastes like when grilled.

As the hull swayed slightly, the big ship pulled anchor and set sail.

When we first came out of Tianren City, the river level was gentle, and the two sides of the river were towns built around Tianren City. The buildings and fields were intertwined, and we could often see the people working hard in the fields along the river bank, like a painting scroll full of life.

It's just that as the big ship sails, the scenery on both sides of the strait gradually becomes desolate, the gentle hills become cold peaks, and occasionally buildings appear in the mountains and forests, all of which have a sense of danger among the cliffs.

The river was getting more and more turbulent, and the dark current rushed on the hull and the shore, and the waves rolled up like white snow.

Ji Que stood on the deck blowing the river wind, a little proud and a little happy.

Every time I go out, it is like exploring an unknown map when playing a game, full of thrills and excitement.

A man is born with a gene for taking risks, but this kind of adventure needs to be maintained at a certain degree, at least not to delay his enjoyment of food and life.

At this time, the current ahead was getting more and more turbulent, and the cliffs on the river bank were getting closer.

On several occasions, Ji Que felt that the edge of the hull was brushing past the cliff.

The hull of the ship swayed more and more, and some well-dressed young men and women had begun to become seasick and vomited, and their faces were embarrassed.

Ji Que was fine, his feet seemed to be glued to the deck, rising and falling with the body of the boat.

At this time, a shirtless old man came to the deck, and let the man at the helm get up, holding the rudder with his left hand and pulling the sails with his right hand, as if he was at ease.

Ji Que soon discovered a very interesting thing, that is, the old man's right foot has six toes.

Six toes palm boat, this talent and hardware, just like studying by myself, is born to eat this bowl of rice.

The constant rippling of the hull caused a burst of complaints and strange screams from the cabin.

Just like the young men and women here, they rarely take boats.

But after a while, as the old man got started, the boat quickly stabilized.

Soon a boatman reassured: "Guests, don't panic, it's just a little undercurrent, it's all right."

Only later did Ji Que know that this old man called himself "Lu Lao Liu" and was the real boss of the ship.

As the big ship moved forward, Ji Que felt more and more that the old man was driving really slippery. Under such turbulent waters, although the big ship swayed, it was not violent.

Especially when encountering a river bend, it gives people a smooth feeling of drifting and turning.

At this time, it was already dusk, and there were bursts of ape sounds from the mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

When we got here, there were almost no traces of people on both sides of the strait.

As the sky was getting dark, lights were quickly hung on the bow and stern.

The light of the lamp is reflected in the dark river, and the whole river can't see the rest of the fire, which makes people feel lonely involuntarily.

At this time, Ji Que noticed a detail, that is, there is a human-shaped pattern engraved on the periphery of the wind lantern, which looks very similar to the Buddha in the temple, but the carving technique is a bit rough, so that the Buddha's face is blurred, giving a gloomy look feeling.

So he couldn't help but ask, "Master Liu, what is engraved on your lamp?"

Lu Laoliu glanced at it and said with a heavy accent: "It's the Dengying Buddha, who wards off evil spirits."

Ji Que raised his eyebrows and said, "To ward off evil spirits? Have you encountered any strange things while running the boat?"

Lu Lao Liu took a puff of dry cigarettes and said, "How can I encounter a little after so many years?"

Ji Que suddenly became interested and said, "Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle. You always tell me, and let me know more."

He really likes listening to stories, and the white cat Lin Kaori had already jumped aside and looked at him with strange eyes.

On the river at night, what's wrong with this person, people tell ghost stories.

Lu Lao Liu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, so let's talk to the son, don't take it to heart when you hear it."

The hull swayed slightly, and the light of the lights reflected on Lu Lao Liu's face, and it went on and off for a while.

And the Buddha's lamp shadow reflected on the deck was also twisted for a while, a bit hideous.
