Immortal Martial Lord

Chapter 78 We are fellow travelers

The setting sun is shining in the evening, and the fishermen are singing late. People who go fishing are rowing fishing boats and returning with fishing nets one after another. This section of the Yanjiang River Basin in the 800-mile Yunmeng Mountains is not an inaccessible place.

On both sides of the Yanjiang River, where the water flow is steady and slow, there are docks every one or two hundred miles for ships traveling between the north and the south to dock and rest.

Although it is in the primitive mountains and forests like Yunmeng Mountain, there are still many people living on the docks along the two banks. In order to ensure that this 800-mile stretch of waterway can be unobstructed, Yan State has set up stations on each dock. , there are soldiers stationed inside the station.

Even so, many bandits still rob merchant ships in those remote places. Some desperadoes are always keeping an eye on this waterway that runs from north to south.

The three large ships of the Haotian Merchant Group were docked at the pier, with their flags fluttering. In the evening, many people on the ships walked out of the cabins, stepped onto the pier, and entered the small village on the pier to purchase some food or daily necessities.

But at this time, Gu Fei followed the maid Xiaoyue and came to the deck of the bow.

There are more than a dozen ships of various sizes moored at the pier, but there is no doubt that the Haotian Merchant Group's ship is the most conspicuous among all the ships.

"Haha! Brother Gu, how is your injury? I have been busy with chores these days and haven't visited my brother. I hope Brother Gu doesn't get weird." Ling Luoyan, who was disguised as a man, saw Gu Fei come out of the cabin. , and quickly stood up from his seat.

"Thanks to Brother Ling, my injury is no longer serious. It will be completely healed in a few days." Under Xiaoyue's guidance, Gu Fei came to a carved rosewood table on the deck and sat down. Go down.

When Ling Luoyan heard this, an imperceptible strange color flashed in her eyes. At the same time, she also noticed that the wooden boards used to fix the broken bones on Gu Fei's arms were gone. Obviously, in the past few days, Gu Fei The broken bone of the forearm has not only been reattached but can also be moved.

How could his injury heal so quickly in just a few days? Although Ling Luoyan was shocked, he remained calm and sat down with a slight smile.

"Brother Gu's injury healed so quickly, it's really surprising!" Ling Luoyan said with a smile. She was very curious, could it be that Gu Fei had taken the elixir? For a normal person, it would take at least several months for a broken bone to regenerate!

Ling Luoyan no longer doubted Gu Fei's identity. In fact, in the past three days, Ling Luoyan had not been busy with shipping, but had used the Ling family's intelligence network all over the world to investigate Gu Fei's identity.

Although he was on a ship and the ship was sailing in the Yunmeng Mountains, Ling Luoyan had many ways to contact the outside world. Relying on the power of the Haotian Merchant Group, news about Taixuan Sect and Gu Fei soon reached Ling Luoyan's hands.

"My skills are somewhat unique, so even if I get injured, I can recover very quickly." Gu Fei told the truth and had no intention of hiding it.

The reason why Gu Fei is so calm is that he already knows that there are no particularly powerful masters on the three ships of the Haotian Merchant Group.

And the young man in front of him named Ling Yan, although he also has a good cultivation level and is not an ordinary young man, but he is far behind Gu Feilai.

Even if Ling Yan was playing some conspiracy behind his back, he wouldn't be worried at all. In terms of strength, Gu Fei possesses overwhelming strength. No matter what his plots and schemes are, he is no match for his pair of fists.

"Oh?" Ling Luoyan was a little confused, and then said: "Brother Gu was born in Taixuan Sect, but if I read it right, brother Gu, you don't seem to be a Taoist!"

Gu Fei couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This Ling Yan is interesting. With his cultivation and knowledge, how can he tell the truth about me? It must have been the old man named Uncle Zhong who told him!
  I once heard Master say that in the secular world, the so-called martial arts are just fancy fists and embroidered legs that are useless. People who truly understand the true meaning of martial arts are as rare as a feather, but the aura exuding from this loyal uncle From the looks of it, this person is obviously also a martial artist, and has already mastered Qi and blood, but it seems that this person's cultivation has stopped here. Could it be that he has only scratched the surface? Didn't anyone really get the true inheritance of martial arts?
  After Gu Fei came down the mountain, he immediately met a warrior who was not weak in cultivation, which made him a little curious. He vaguely felt that in the secular world, it seemed that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was not simple.

"I am not a Taoist, and not everyone in the Taoist sect is a Taoist." Gu Fei replied. Although he is straightforward by nature, he still clearly distinguishes what can and cannot be said. , absolutely ambiguous.

"Oh?" Ling Luoyan smiled noncommittally. She didn't seem to want to talk to Gu Fei about this anymore, and then changed the subject and said, "Brother Gu, can you go ashore with me?"

"Ashore?" Gu Fei was a little stunned. Looking at this man's magnanimity, his family was either rich or noble. What was missing on the boat? What was he doing ashore? Is it a trip ashore?
  "Wharf Village, I have never been to a place like this before. I want to go up there and have a look. I just want to invite Brother Gu to go ashore for a walk." In fact, the thirteenth lady of the Ling family, who is disguised as a man, has been staying there for several days. On the boat, it was already boring.

Hearing what Ling Luoyan said, Gu Fei knew that he would be a bit unkind if he didn't agree. Moreover, it was this young man named Ling Yan who rescued him from the river. Gu Fei never wanted to owe anyone anything. Favor.

There is no bond in the world more than human kindness. This is why it is said that agreeing to something is worse than owing money to others. Too many fetters will affect the state of mind and then affect the practice.

In Taoism, this is cause and effect. As the saying goes, if there is a cause, there must be an effect. Taoism emphasizes the unity of heaven and man.

"Well, since Brother Ling invites you, I can easily refuse." Gu Fei said. After three days of exercise to heal his injuries, the crack in his sternum has long healed, and a pair of forearm bones have also grown back together. As long as he doesn't Make violent collisions and don't have any problems. However, Gu Fei has just recovered from his injury, but his arms are temporarily unable to explode with powerful force. Broken bones are regenerated, and he cannot withstand too much impact of vitality for the time being.

"Then let's go!" When Ling Luoyan saw Gu Fei agreeing, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, like a hundred flowers blooming, extremely dazzling.

"This..." Gu Fei suddenly felt his eyes light up. Her smile... seemed... Junior Sister Zhao also smiled like this when she was happy, but this Brother Ling was obviously a man!

Gu Fei has been practicing ancient body-refining techniques on the Lingcui Peak of Taixuan Mountain since he was a child. There are not many female disciples in his sect. The only women he has seen come and go are Zhao Zirou, or a few female seniors in his sect. How could he tell that the Ling Yan in front of him was a woman disguised as a man?
  In fact, if it were someone with some experience in walking in the world, they would have already seen that Ling Luoyan is a young girl, and she is also a woman with a peerless appearance that makes a fish fall like a fish and falls into a moonlight.

"Master, do you want me to wait here and wait for orders?" When Ling Luoyan and Gu Fei were about to go ashore, Uncle Zhong, who was wearing a green coat and a stooped body, suddenly appeared behind them like a ghost.

"Oh, you scared me to death!" Ling Luoyan suddenly trembled and almost fell off the edge of the boat due to the sudden sound behind him.

"Uncle Zhong, you will scare people to death if you are so elusive!" Ling Luoyan said angrily, holding her chest with lingering fear. It looks like a girl's home.

But in fact, she is really a girl's family. Only a person like Gu Fei who is not familiar with the world can't see it.

"You scared the young master, the old slave really deserves to die, but the old slave didn't mean it." Uncle Zhong explained that although he called himself an old slave, he was obviously different from ordinary domestic slaves.

In fact, Gu Fei already knew that this loyal uncle had been secretly observing him and Ling Yan. How could this really make sense? Could it be that I was a man-eating beast and would eat Ling Yan? This feeling of being watched made Gu Fei feel very unhappy, so when the loyal uncle came out of the darkness, his face looked a little unhappy.

"Okay, you can stay on the boat. I'm a little worried without you watching on the boat!" Ling Luoyan said. She didn't want someone to come between her and Gu Fei.

"Yes!" Uncle Zhong glanced at Gu Fei and then retreated.

The two of them jumped onto the pier, and then headed towards the shore regardless of the surprised looks of the people on the pier. Jumping directly from a ship several feet high to the pier, if it were an ordinary person, this would be no different from committing suicide.

At dusk, the red sun shines over the mountains in the west, emitting the last light of the day, dyeing the few clouds floating in the sky fiery red, as if there are fires burning in the clouds.

The two of them were stepping on bluestone slabs, which were paved with a single piece of bluestone. Gu Fei discovered that these paved bluestones not only had traces left by carriages and horses passing through them over the years, but also that the wharf had obviously become Some history.

Next to the pier was an inn. At the entrance of the inn, there were several soldiers in armor gathered around a table, shouting with their faces flushed. There seemed to be an upside-down white porcelain bowl on the table.

"What are they doing?" Gu Fei stopped and asked curiously. From the looks of the soldiers, it didn't seem like they were arguing.

"No way!" Ling Luoyan looked at Gu Fei in surprise as if looking at a monster: "You don't even know this?"

"I don't know, should I know?" Gu Fei said with an embarrassed smile. His tone of voice was serious, and he was not pretending.

"Open! Four, five, six, fifteen o'clock, haha... I win, give me the money, give me the money!" A man with a beard who looked like an army officer raised the upside-down porcelain bowl on the table with one hand, and then Then he shouted loudly.

"They are playing a game. There are three square things in the bowl with six sides. Each side has six points from one to six. This thing is called dice. They are betting on the big or small, and the big one will hit the big one. If you get more points, you win, if you don't win, you lose." Ling Luoyan explained with a smile.

When Gu Fei heard this, the trace of surprise on his face immediately disappeared. He stopped staying and walked forward. No wonder among all living beings, there is not one among millions who can transcend reincarnation. To a large extent, , that is, playing with things to lose one's ambition, causing it to ruin its future.

The small village on the dock actually didn't have much to see. After walking around the village, the two came to a quiet forest outside the village.

"Brother Ling, is your boat going south? Where is its destination?" Gu Fei suddenly asked as they walked on the forest path. Gu Fei had long known that the Haotian Merchant Group's ship was heading south.

Ling Luoyan thought for a moment and then said: "The ship's destination is Qingshi Town after leaving Yunmeng Mountain, but our caravan is going to Dragon Emperor City in the Southern Wilderness."

"Southern Wilderness Dragon Imperial City?" Gu Fei couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Was it such a coincidence? His destination is also the Southern Wilderness Dragon Imperial City!
