Bone Taoist

Chapter 16 Swimming in the River
A few days later, Ye Zang went to the south to flee thousands of miles away from the Black Bone Mountains.

In a fast-flowing river.

This river is named Liyang River, it runs through the entire city of Liyang Kingdom, and is an extremely important trade route.

At this moment, Ye Zang was riding a flat boat, attached to it, no matter how fast the river was, I would not move.

"This time, I have to go to Taojiafang City to buy a step-by-step imperial air weapon. Traveling like this will consume too much of the innate aura in the body."

Ye Zang thought to himself.

Liyang Kingdom is the neighboring country of Ye Zang's hometown Yuanwu Kingdom. As for why he came here, it was naturally for the innate spiritual land.During the initial invasion of the divine sect, a disaster occurred here. Ye Zang still has fresh memories of the scene of hell on earth.

There is a yin vein hidden deep in the underground of Liyang Kingdom, which is at least a thousand years old.At that time, when the yin veins erupted, ghosts and ghosts were rampant.The corpses in the Liyang capital are like mountains, and the blood soaked the Liyang River, which will not melt all the year round, so that it will be a place of death for hundreds of years in the future.

Later, powerful Taoist priests from the divine religion came to take away the Yin vein, so that this scene of mortal hell would not happen again.

"According to the time, the yin meridian should have been born only a hundred years ago, and the meridian has not been extended, but it is a bit troublesome to find it. I don't know where the source is."

If the source is under the Liyang River, can Ye Zang still go deep into the river?He doesn't have that extraordinary ability for the time being.Now we can only take one step at a time to see. It would be easier to say if the source is on land.

Just as he was thinking about it, a magnificent merchant ship appeared in the distance of the river.

Ye Zang attached his innate spiritual energy to his eyes and looked intently.

There are three floors of small buildings on the deck. It is extremely luxurious and must belong to a wealthy family.On the deck, an old man with a goatee who looked like a butler seemed to be looking towards Ye Zang, obviously seeing him.

However, the distance was too far and he didn't seem to see clearly. He just saw the housekeeper running into the cabin in a panic.

"Miss, no, it's not good!" The sheep-bearded old man trotted into the cabin and shouted to a pretty young girl in her prime.

"What's the matter, butler, why are you so flustered?" the girl asked impatiently, playing with the silver hairpin in her hand.

"Well, there's a person floating on the sea!" the steward said.

"Ah?!" The woman thought it was a dead body floating on the sea, and the silver hairpin fell to the ground in shock.

The housekeeper realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed his words: "It's a living person! It seems like a Taoist priest. I couldn't see clearly even though it was too far away!"

Since it wasn't a corpse, the woman patted her chest lightly and said with a sigh of relief.

"I guess he is a Taoist who travels all over the world. The current of the river is very fast. I am afraid that the Taoist has been shipwrecked and is floating alone in the river. Butler, you have done a good deed by picking him up on the boat." "

"Yes, miss!"

The giant ship slowed down slightly, and finally stopped. Ye Zang's boat just leaned against the side of the giant ship.

Ye Zang looked up towards the boat, only to see a ladder lowered.

"Daozhang! This river is very fast, come up quickly!"

The owner of the river boat was kind-hearted, and Ye Zang did not refuse. Since they were traveling together, he got on the boat.

"You are very lucky as a Taoist. If you meet our lady with a bodhisattva heart, if you change someone else, you will definitely abandon you."

The steward walked and said, leading Ye Zang to a cabin

"Thank you."

Ye Zang listened to the steward's tone, although it was a bit harsh, but after all he had good intentions, since he is a Taoist, why bother with these mortals.Although he allowed himself to board the boat, the steward was very careful. After questioning his background, Ye Zang said that he was an ordinary Taoist who traveled all over the world.He also didn't have the intention to show his Taoism in front of these mortals to show his identity as an 'immortal teacher'.

Not long after the butler left, two maids came in and brought some vegetarian food.

……

It was evening, and the sound of pattering rain hit the cabin. Ye Zang woke up from the state of meditation, opened the window and looked out, and there was a mist rising from the sea, mixed with drizzle.

Suddenly, there were clanging swords and the sound of fighting outside.

"There are river thieves and water thieves! Protect the lady!"

Like the voice of the housekeeper, Ye Zang frowned and opened the door. In a few steps, he was already on the deck.

I saw two small boats walking side by side with the merchant ship, and many masked black scarf sea pirates jumped onto the deck with scimitars in their hands. The sailors on this sea ship, how could these sailors add blood to the tip of their knives every day? The water pirate's opponent was cut down to the ground in a few hits, bleeding profusely.

On the deck, the housekeeper and the pretty young lady had already been arrested, trembling and terrified.

As soon as Ye Zang came out, there was a water bandit slashing at him with a knife. His face turned cold, he flicked his sleeves, and a sword slashed out.

"Master Immortal! Help!" The butler had sharp eyes, saw Ye Zang's hand, and immediately identified him as a Taoist cultivating immortals on the Black Bone Mountain Range, and shouted loudly.

"Immortal, Immortal?!"

The figure who seemed to be a pirate leader said in astonishment.

Ye Zang was not angry, but the innate aura emanating from his body made these mortals feel a great sense of oppression.

The scimitar in his hand fell off feebly, followed by the sound of weapons falling to the ground.Cultivators are still very intimidating to the people of all countries in this world. No matter how strong your martial arts moves are, in front of the divine channel method, you can cut them with your hands.

"The immortal, spare your life! The immortal, spare your life!"

Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, while others turned over and jumped directly into the sea.

"Master Immortal! Don't let these villains go! These water thieves have done many evil things and committed many injustices. If we let them go this time, they will definitely cause trouble to the world in the future!" the steward said with a trembling voice.

Ye Zang didn't intend to let these water thieves go, disturbed his practice, offended the Taoist priest and wanted to leave?
To deal with these people from mortal countries, Ye Zang only needs to use a few sword rays to deal with the need to use divine channels.

Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, all the water thieves on the cabin were killed, even those who jumped into the sea and escaped.

Afterwards, Ye Zang didn't change his face, and walked away slowly under the eyes of everyone who looked shocked.

Not long after, the lady and the steward came to the cabin, thanked Ye Zang quickly, and almost knelt down, and the lady wanted to invite Ye Zang to the main cabin, but he also refused.

After chatting for a while, and asking about some mundane matters, Ye Zang learned that this young lady is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the capital of Liyang, her name is He Wanxi, and she just came back from her mother's home when she went north this time.

By the way, Ye Zang asked if there were any strange things happening near the capital, or if spirits had haunted them.

This lady is not clear.She stayed in her boudoir all year round, and this time she finally came out once.He just said: Her parents and eldest brother often go out on business trips, so they may know something about it.

After the chat, the lady thanked her again and again before leaving.

Early the next morning, Ye Zang walked to the deck.

There is mist rising from the river, and it is still raining lightly. It seems that we have arrived at the capital of Liyang Kingdom. There are catkins flying on the shore, and fishermen wearing bamboo hats are holding small boats and shuttling in the mist and rain. This scenery is like poetry and painting. .

An oil-paper umbrella came over, it was He Wanxi.

"Taoist Master, we have arrived in the capital." He Wanxi said cautiously, glancing at Ye Zang's profile from the corner of his eye from time to time.

"Ah."

Ye Zang said calmly.
